"Good afternoon, everyone."
Lin closed the door casually, smiling as he responded, and placed his school bag together with Tainaka Ritsu's and the others'.
He went to his seat and sat down.
"Bai, here you go."
Kotobuki Tsumugi placed a freshly poured cup of black tea on the table in front of Lin.
"Thanks, Tsumugi."
Lin thanked her upon seeing this.
Kotobuki Tsumugi then plated today's snack, a portioned blueberry mousse, and placed it before Lin with a smile.
Lin smiled at Kotobuki Tsumugi.
He didn't say thanks this time.
Kotobuki Tsumugi responded with a smile, then sat down at her own seat.
Currently, the seating arrangement in the Light Music Club had Tainaka Ritsu, Hirasawa Yui, and Lin sitting on the side facing the door.
Akiyama Mio and Kotobuki Tsumugi sat with their backs to it.
Taking a sip of black tea, Lin looked at Tainaka Ritsu and the others:
"What were you chatting about just now?"
Hirasawa Yui said with a grin, "We were just talking about our class's music teacher, Yamanaka-sensei."
"She has a gentle personality, is quiet and elegant, and she's really pretty with a good figure. She's very popular among the students."
"Yamanaka-sensei..."
Lin's eyes moved slightly upon hearing this.
He then feigned confusion and said, "Come to think of it, it's been so many days, how come I haven't seen the faculty advisor come by at all?"
"Eh..."
As soon as these words came out, Ritsu, Akiyama Mio, and Kotobuki Tsumugi froze.
"That seems to be the case."
Hirasawa Yui blinked, speaking as if she had just realized it. "I haven't seen one since I joined the Light Music Club either."
Tainaka Ritsu, Akiyama Mio, and Kotobuki Tsumugi couldn't help but exchange glances.
Finally, Akiyama Mio and Kotobuki Tsumugi looked in unison at the president, Tainaka Ritsu.
"Uh, well..."
At this moment, thinking of something, a drop of cold sweat seemed to ooze from Tainaka Ritsu's forehead, and she smiled somewhat awkwardly:
"It seems our Light Music Club doesn't have an advisor right now. The previous Sato-sensei retired two weeks ago."
"Originally, we said we'd find a new advisor after recruiting enough members, but, but..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but blush slightly, unable to continue for a moment.
The meaning was already obvious.
Clearly, she had forgotten.
Akiyama Mio's pretty face also reddened slightly, her gaze flickering. "It's all Ritsu's fault. She always forgets these things."
"Hah!!!"
Tainaka Ritsu, having the blame shifted to her by Akiyama Mio, couldn't help but pout and retort:
"What do you mean it's all my fault? Didn't you forget too, Mio?"
Saying that, she stared straight at her.
"Tch..." Akiyama Mio looked away, blushing upon hearing this. "Are you the president, or am I?"
Tainaka Ritsu: "..."
Hearing this, she froze for a moment, opening her mouth but finding herself speechless.
There was no helping it.
Who asked her to be the president?
She had no leg to stand on in this matter.
As for Kotobuki Tsumugi, who also knew about this, her cheeks had been slightly flushed since just now, and she maintained her silence.
Not attracting everyone's attention.
"Alright, alright."
At this moment, Lin clapped his hands.
Tainaka Ritsu and the other three girls looked at him.
Lin smiled and said, "Since we've remembered, let's not delay. Let's discuss it right now."
"Let's see which of the teachers we know is suitable to be the advisor."
"No problem."
Hearing Lin say this, Tainaka Ritsu and the other three all expressed their agreement.
After all, this was a matter of urgency.
Even if the number of members met the minimum requirement, they couldn't maintain their status as an official club without a faculty advisor.
Sato-sensei, who was previously listed as the advisor for the Light Music Club, had only come to the club once in the first week of school when she had time.
She told Tainaka Ritsu and the others about her upcoming retirement.
Because they couldn't recruit anyone for a while, as the days went by, they simply forgot about the matter.
Lin looked at them and said:
"By the way, that Yamanaka-sensei you just mentioned should also be a pretty good candidate, right?"
"She's a music teacher, which fits the Light Music Club perfectly."
"Yamanaka-sensei..."
Tainaka Ritsu and the other three were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up.
Tainaka Ritsu immediately smiled and said, "Bai is right! Yamanaka-sensei is a great candidate."
Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyes shimmered slightly. "I think Yamanaka-sensei is nice."
Hirasawa Yui nodded with a smile. "Me too."
Akiyama Mio pondered for a moment and also expressed agreement. "Yamanaka-sensei is indeed a very good candidate for advisor."
Seeing that Tainaka Ritsu and the other three had no objections to Yamanaka-sensei, the corners of Lin's mouth turned up slightly as he smiled and said:
"In that case, we'll set Yamanaka-sensei as the first choice."
"Are there any other candidates?"
"I'll recommend two."
"One is the homeroom teacher of Class 1-C, Kirisu-sensei, and the other is the homeroom teacher of Class 1-J, Hiratsuka-sensei."
"Uh..."
Hearing the two advisor candidates recommended by Lin, Tainaka Ritsu and the other three couldn't help but freeze slightly.
After all, Mafuyu Kirisu and Shizuka Hiratsuka had quite the reputation.
One was the Ice Beauty Teacher.
One was the Iron Fist Invincible Teacher.
Although the four of them had practically no contact with these two teachers, they still knew of their reputations.
They both seemed difficult to get along with.
However, since Lin recommended them, it meant that in his view, Kirisu-sensei and Hiratsuka-sensei were both good candidates.
Tainaka Ritsu nodded:
"Then let's add Kirisu-sensei and Hiratsuka-sensei to the list of potential advisors too. Anyone else?"
"Not for now."
Hirasawa Yui, Akiyama Mio, and Kotobuki Tsumugi all shook their heads slightly.
Lin: "Then let's leave it at that for now. Starting next week, we'll ask them one by one, starting with Yamanaka-sensei."
"Mm-hm."
Tainaka Ritsu and the other three nodded upon hearing this, indicating they had no objections.
"By the way..."
At this moment, Akiyama Mio thought of something.
She looked at Lin and Hirasawa Yui. "B... Bai, Yui, you two haven't bought guitars yet, right?"
"Guitar..."
Hirasawa Yui froze slightly.
Then she reacted, smiling sheepishly. "Oh right, I was supposed to practice guitar."
"Hey."
Hearing this, Tainaka Ritsu looked at her, feeling a bit helpless.
"Ehehe..."
Hirasawa Yui smiled shyly.
Lin smiled and said, "I haven't bought a guitar yet either."
Akiyama Mio smiled and said:
"Since neither of you has a guitar yet, why don't we go take a look together tomorrow or the day after?"
"After all, the Light Music Club's activities can only start once we have instruments."
"Okay! Please, let's definitely go together!"
As soon as Akiyama Mio finished speaking, Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyes seemed to light up, and she immediately looked at everyone with anticipation.
Hirasawa Yui smiled and said, "No problem, let's go together."
Lin nodded with a smile. "Sure."
"Good."
Tainaka Ritsu immediately made the executive decision: "Then it's decided. We'll go look at guitars together during the holiday."
At this moment, Lin pointed to the storage room that every club activity room had:
"Have you guys checked what's inside the storage room?"
"Storage room... no."
Tainaka Ritsu, Akiyama Mio, Kotobuki Tsumugi, and Hirasawa Yui all looked at the storage room upon hearing this and shook their heads.
Lin raised the corners of his mouth slightly. "In that case, why don't we take a look? Maybe there are useful things left behind by the Light Music Club's predecessors."
"Okay!!!"
Hearing this, Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui immediately showed eager and curious smiles on their faces.
Akiyama Mio and Kotobuki Tsumugi also became a bit curious after Lin mentioned it.
Thus, it was passed unanimously.
The group stood up and headed to the storage room to begin exploring the traces of the past.
