| Chapter 5 | |
| Shigure Hakka |
Harimiya-kun, do you know what it takes to be a member of the student council of this academy? |
| Touji Harimiya |
W-what? Of course! One must not only be physically and intellectually skilled, but favored by a lot of people as well. |
| Shigure Hakka |
Moreover, one must be able to deal with any situation. Do you know how they are able to attain that skill? |
| Touji Harimiya |
Is it by gaining more experience? |
| Shigure Hakka |
Yes. If by any chance you are interested in running for a position in the student council, I suggest you try being a drummer alongside being the club manager. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Me…? A drummer…? |
| Shigure Hakka |
The foundation of a band is its rhythm section. I believe being a drummer is quite similar to being a manager. |
| Touji Harimiya |
However, is it alright for the public to see the eldest son of the Harimiya family having disheveled hair and wildly playing the drums? |
| Senri Nito |
No one said you have to go wild, though. |
| Shigure Hakka |
We can solve that matter by keeping your identity confidential. |
| Touji Harimiya |
Oh, I did not know it is acceptable to conceal one’s identity by wearing a mask or disguising one’s self. |
| Shigure Hakka |
Of course, it is. |
| Senri Nito |
Wearing masks sounds cool to me! Though I won’t be wearing one because I wanna be popular~ |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Even if Harimiya decides to be a drummer, all I could play is a flute. |
| Senri Nito |
Speaking of that, I have no idea how to play the guitar. |
| Yuuma, Touji |
Really?! |
| Shigure Hakka |
Since tomorrow’s club fair will be utilizing the Yume system, having proper knowledge about a particular instrument is sufficient to carry out a performance. After all, nothing is impossible when you’re dreaming. |
| Senri Nito |
So…what exactly do we do? |
| Shigure Hakka |
For tomorrow’s performance, you will be covering a song. Please watch this DVD at least five times. Also, I prepared reading materials about the structure and mechanism of each instrument, so make sure to read them. |
| Senri Nito |
Woah…you prepared all this for us? You’re so awesome, senpai. This guide is so easy to understand! |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
So…I’ll be playing the bass? I never got to hold one, though. |
| Touji Harimiya |
I see…so this is the structure of a drum set. |
| Shigure Hakka |
Lastly, I want you to repeatedly engage in motor imagery. Imagine yourself playing your assigned instrument on stage. Given that you follow all of these steps, you will definitely be able to carry out a perfect live performance. |
| Senri Nito |
I feel very motivated all of a sudden! Wait a minute–do you realize how we’re finally starting to enjoy our youth as members of the Light Music Club?! Awesome! |
| Shigure Hakka |
(Youth…) |
| Location Change: Dorm | |
| Shinya Shibasaki |
Hey there, Shigure! Welcome back! |
| Shigure Hakka |
Shinya…I thought you had a surgery to conduct today. |
| Shinya Shibasaki |
It was postponed because of the patient’s condition. |
| Shigure Hakka |
I see. Sorry, I haven’t prepared dinner yet. |
| Shinya Shibasaki |
Oh, come on. That’s okay. Let’s just go to the cafeteria. Also, it looks like you have some good news, so why not talk about it while eating dinner? |
| Shigure Hakka |
Huh? |
| Shinya Shibasaki |
Lately, I noticed how there’s this unusual sparkle in your eyes, and your face looks fresh. You’ve been sleeping well, haven’t you? You look happy. |
| Shigure Hakka |
Are you really talking about me? |
| Shinya Shibasaki |
Ahaha! Of course! How long do you think we’ve been together? I’ll be reading a book for a while, though. Are you fine with waiting a little bit before we eat dinner? |
| Shigure Hakka |
Of course. |
|
Knowing Shinya, I was certain that he will not react to anything I say once he started shifting his focus to the book. I quietly drew close to my desk and brushed a fingertip over my drawer’s keyhole. | |
| Shigure Hakka |
(Is it really okay…to be happy?) |
|
The night passed by. And the club fair has finally began. | |
| Location Change: Yume stadium | |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
(flute sounds) |
| Senri Nito |
Yumapi?! Why are flute sounds coming out from your bass guitar?! |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
Sorry. It’s just that no matter what I do, I just can’t imagine myself playing the bass. |
| Touji Harimiya |
And it was due to playing the flute all week long, wasn’t it? |
| Yuma Mochizuki |
It’s been a while since I last played one and it was fun. |
| Senri Nito |
It must’ve been nice to feel like a child again…That aside, what should we do, Hakka-senpai?! Our performance is about to start! |
| Shigure Hakka |
It seems that we’re finally complete. |
| Yuuma, Senri, Touji |
Huh? |
