Love Fest!

Chapter 16

He went to the student council to file a request form since he will be using the auditorium earlier than usual.

"Here's my request form. I would like to use the auditorium early." Hiroto handed out the request form to Eli.

Usually students would get his request form, but this time he got it himself.

"You don't have to do that. You can just ask permission and we can give you a spare key." Eli handing the key to Hiroto while smiling.

Having a key would mean that he could perform at the auditorium if he has time or if it was free of use, without getting reported because of its usage.

"Thank you, Ayase-senpai" Hiroto received the key from Eli.

"Don't worry about it."

"Your play in the auditorium might be able to help the school in its situation"

"You're worried about the closure, Ayase-senpai?"

"Why wouldn't be worried, this school is where my grandmother graduated and I love this school. I want to protect it no matter what."

"Same for me, this school is so precious to me."

"Sorry for asking an inconsiderate question, Ayase-senpai and Toujou-senpai really love this school to be wanting to protect it at all cost."

"Yes, being here in school for 2 years now is a memorable experience and if this continues on, it will make me sad."

Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Hiroto tried to lighten it up by saying.

"Don't worry Ayase-senpai, Nozomi-senpai. I will do everything if this continues, My reputation might not be that much but I will play music for the students everyday to help their mind to relax and improve their learning. Also maybe other students really love this school and won't let that happen."

"If your thinking like that Elicchi might fall in love with you."

"If you're talking about his good points… Wait, what are you saying Nozomi." Eli cutely pouts on Nozomi while blushing. Then look at Hiroto again with a startled expression and quickly correct herself

"N-no, I mean that's your good point, ahem we are the student council who will always help students in need." Eli reveal a bright expression enough to make Hiroto's heart to skip a beat.

"Hiding your true feelings won't get you anywhere" Nozomi giggles while looking at Eli with a teasing gaze.

"Mou Stop teasing me already."

Hiroto shyly laughs engraving another cute moments Eli and Nozomi. 'I really want to know more Ayase-senpai. If I'm not wrong, seeing her true nature eager me. She may be strict on the outside but she's like a little girl on the inside.

After performing at the auditorium, he met Maki on the way to the music room.

Hiroto tried to surprise Maki who was walking ahead. So he tiptoed until he was behind her back.

Maki who had brought her things with her was suddenly surprised at the words behind her ears

"Nishikino-san.."

Kyah!, Don't startle me like that!,"

That yelp she made sounds very cute!, but he put his hands in his back while whistling.

"What startle? I just called your name. Ah you thinking about me while on the way?"

"N-no! Who wants to think about you!"

"Then, I'm sorry alright." he surrendered his right hand waving it up and down.

"If you are sorry then stop teasing me everyday"

"No, getting your reactions was worth it"

"So my anger was worth it, heh" Maki angry and unladylike gesture made Hiroto. He snickered while he held her hands.

"Wha-what are you doing, a-again?

"Lets go or somebody might see your cute self"

"Who's cute, you,-you"

- - - -

"Can you sing again, I want to hear your voice."

"Eh, but I don't want to."

"Your singing are comparable to school idols, I have scene many idol groups when I visited Akihabara yesterday."

"Eh, School Idols? no it's not that good, you travel yesterday? Why, no don't answer my question, I'm not curious at all." Maki got a bit red for some reason.

"I can answer your question but if you play your song, hehe" Hiroto smiled lightly looking at this fl.u.s.tered girl.

"No, I'm not interested!, I spoke accidentally!"

"Okay, okay. Just sing the song and use the piano too, here.." Hiroto gave the leeway, to Maki to move to the piano chair.

"Hmm, nanda, i-if you say so, then I would just play, still i don't need to hear your reasons, okay!" Maki position herself cutely while she acclimated herself with the piano.

Hiroto just nodded at the embarrassed girl, teasing her always made his day.

Maki got to her serious expression after calming herself down. She started singing while playing the piano.

"Aishiteru banzai! Koko de yokatta watashitachi no ima ga koko ni aru…."

".."

"Ganbareru kara kinou ni te wo futte hora mae muite."

"Bravo!, bravo!"

Hiroto clapped madly, while Maki got embarrassed again for many-many times.

After he calmed down he looked at the red haired girl and said "So you perfected it already, I noticed your iterations was very good this time, play it again tomorrow."

"N-no, I don't want to, I won't come tomorrow if you keep being like this."

"Then, I will perform you a piano piece with a song accompaniment, so were equal."

"You have one as well?"

"You have too so why don't I have one."

"I mean you always play those renaissance pieces so I thought… nevermind just play it already."

"Okay, then, can I use the piano now?"

Maki just realized she was still sitting in front of the piano, but she got up quickly that she had tripped her feet. Thankfully, she was caught by Hiroto.

"A-are you okay?, why do you have to move so fast.."

"It's your fault, idiot" Maki pouted while she looked at him with cute glare.

"..."

"Your okay, then seat carefully and listen to my performance, this performance is called 'Ichiban no Takaramono.'"

Hiroto got the beatboxing skill and tried to practice it last weekend. If you consider his already normal manly voice and with the voice control from the beatboxing skill, it actually lifted his singing better than the average person.

He pressed the intro performance for the song, then sing along with his piano beat. Meanwhile, Maki had a wide eyed when he heard his singing.

"kao o awashitara kenka shite bakari..

sore mo ii omoide datta

…. ~....

If we see each other's faces, we always fight.

That's a good memory too.

kimi ga oshiete kureta nda mou kowaku nai

nazeka sore ga ima ichiban no takaramono

'For some reason, now, that is My Most Precious Treasure."

"..."

Maki had cried during his performances, she teared up so much that it was pouring out of her eyes.

"Are you okay?" Hiroto quickly got his handkerchief and tried to wipe her tears.

"D-don't, I can do it." Maki got her handkerchief and waved her arms to Hiroto.

"No, let me do it"

"S-s-stop, awa-a" Maki didn't care anymore and just let him wipe her tears, while tears poured in her face.

"Is it that really good, I mean it always gives me goosebumps when I listen to it."

Maki calmed herself down, even though she was still blushing due to Hiroto's care.

"..ha~h, y-you're actually good at making songs as well. Mah, I wouldn't question it because you already know how to piano, wait.."

"I practiced a bit after all, my mom always taught me when I was younger." Though Hiroto felt he cheated mastering it, but hey it was given to him and he only knows it.

"..." 'He was really the son of her, now I want to see Tamaki-san play again.'

"Why am I saying this?, it feels like" with his face really close to her she was shocked so she pulled some distance before spouting fl.u.s.tered nonsense.

Maki's blushing cheeks get red and redder. As she was able to see Hiroto's glance every so often.

"D-don't misunderstand, I-i didn't ask to see your mother.

'Huh?, tsundere again?'

"In the next month, mom will go back, if you want to see her."

"N-no, I don't need your help to see her!." Maki got mote fl.u.s.tered and fl.u.s.tered

"...ok, ok."

Maki felt tearing up again, Hiroto was really was a tease.

"Okay, then can i exchange contacts with you."

"No, you'll probably nug me every night, hmpf.

"just give it."

"i would play another tear jerking piece if you want"

"no, no!, stop!"

"B-b-bully!"

After Hiroto got back home, he started his livestream.

"Hello everyone"

"I'll play my favorite pieces from the last live performance i did"

[Look PianoMan is streaming!] GreekGod

[I am so lucky to be in the livestream, just watching his videos really makes me comfortable. 👍👍] BanzaiH

"I have another performance before I stop the stream, does everyone want me to sing along with it?"

[Just do what you want piano-kun]

[Play now Piano-man, we want to her your performance.]

Seeing that they had no objections, Hiroto said.

"Then I'll play 'Tsukiakari no Michishirube', this is an original composition, sorry for my average voice."

Hiroto played the piano while he sang.

"kotae no nai mainichi ga

[Contact me +123456789, I'll warm your bed.] Grill1xxx

[Shut up, fangirls, you probably a shut in at your house you don't fit with the PianoMan!"]

It was at this time that the males and female watcher divided and group themselves to help Hiroto with different approach, of course he wasn't aware of it yet.

Hiroto was idling after eating his dinner when suddenly.

Ruuuu Ruuu

Hiroto's phone rang seeing the number was from Ao-san, it was probably about the ill.u.s.tration

"Ao-san is there a problem?."

"Ah no, we'd like to give you several ill.u.s.trator examples from the explanations and description you gave."

"Ah. so it was that, wait i'll check it now."

"Sure, it's already sent in your email. Just check them."

"Ok thank you Ao-san."

"Me as well, just send them today, I'll drop the phone now."

After getting Hiroto went home, he checks his email and see Ao-sa letter with a compress file attached.

Opening his computer, he uncompressed the attached file and see different names on few picture with strange names.

'Probably the pen names of the ill.u.s.trators.'

'Eri Kashiwagi-sensei and Eromanga-sensei.' he looked at them separately..

'Hmm.'

"This Kashiwagi-sensei was better compared to Eromanga-sensei. Eromanga-sensei lacks something and his e.r.o.t.i.c drawings were slightly more..,"

"Ah-h!, it was the Oppai!" Hiroto had a light bulb as he noticed the difference between the ill.u.s.trator, while the two were both good, Kashiwagi-sensei was better he rather pick him than have ill.u.s.tration of female heroines that only had small c.h.e.s.t.

'This guy has a fixation to chippai?, well I guess his name really fits his perversion. He should change pen-name to Lolicon-sensei if ever.'

Hiroto chosen this Kashiwagi-sensei, he send an email to Ao to confirm his choice thereby concluding the ill.u.s.trator for his novel.

Hiroto was free from writing the light novel for now, since he had given the manuscript for the first and second volume. It would be another month before he submitted the future volumes so he relaxed for tonight. He practiced his beatboxing skills and others before signing out to bed.
