Love Fest!

Wednesday, Early Morning:

Hiroto participated in Honoka and co's rally to the student council.

"What could you possibly want this early in the morning?" Eli kind of know what they want since Hiroto was here as well.

"We would like to request of using the auditorium" Honoka

"As the school rules said that the students are freely to use the auditorium independent of club activities." Umi plainly said.

"It seems like they want to use it after school during the New Student Welcome Day" Nozomi look at the request form on the side.

"What do you want to do in the Auditorium?"

"Umm … this " Umi

"We will use it for a live concert! The three of them will use it." Hiroto said

"Yes, we would like to use the Auditorium to hold our first live concert!" Honoka

"Honoka, Hiroto-kun." Umi

"I don't know if we are ready for that yet." Kotori worriedly smile at Honoka and Hiroto.

"Ehh? We can do it just we just need to practice before the New Student Welcome Day begins."

"Honoka wait a minute! I haven't agreed yet going on stage!"

"Don't worry, don't worry even though you're not ready. We can think of the plan in the meantime." Hiroto said.

"Are we really be okay?"

"It seems you guys wasn't that ready." Eli look at them suspiciously

"N-no! We will be okay!"

"The new student welcoming party isn't a game"

"They just want to use the auditorium, right?. They won't be using it for club activities so we don't have the right to object to what you want to do like Tamaki-kun's performance."

"But," Eli wasn't able to refute.

"Then, excuse us. Thank you very much" Hiroto and co. leave the student council room. While Eli eyed at Nozomi with a weird expression.

"Why did you take their side?" Eli looked at Nozomi with suspicion

"They keep telling me I should." Nozomi walked to the window while Eli noticed Nozomi tarot cards on the table.

"The cards.. The cards told me I should!" Nozomi opened the windows while the tarot cards floated with the incoming wind. [AN2: Yeah we are the cards!]

Eli saw a sun tarot card. Nozomi didn't give out explanation but smiled, 'that card had so many meanings', Nozomi noticed another card that was upturned 'the lover', but she picked it up without showing it to Eli.

"It seems that the future would be interesting Elicchii!" Nozomi hid the card on her back mysteriously smiled at Eli.

"Eh, you are being mysterious again!" Eli pouts on Nozomi

"Fu, fu" Nozomi giggles and looking forward to the future.

Hiroto was having lunch with Yasuo, Takeshi and Tomoko, while he wasn't able to spot Maki at the cafeteria which made him slightly disappointed.

'We should have just used it rather than asking, now, Ayase-senpai might stop them if she got to involve.' Hiroto had a slight regret asking her since he had already had permission to use it indefinitely.

"What did you do this morning Hiroto, were looking for you to show you our improvements."

"I-it's, I had some business with the student council so I was early at school and was only able to go when the homeroom was near."

"Listen, listen Hiroto, when we tried your energy drink, I felt really good and energetic and now , I feel my body was upgraded 2 times!." Yasuo comically flexed his body while he stood up and tried to do a stretching.

"Eh, Yasuo's right, it improved my body, it's like magic from eroge systems I always read." Takeshi flicked his glasses, the beam was thicker than usual.

"Ha-ha" Hiroto had a dry laugh, while Takeshi was really good at analyzing things, it's just it was a bit curved in his 'Eroge' fascination. Meanwhile he noticed that too has changed in their postures, it seemed that it fixed their bad habits as well.

"Exercise more during the after school, the energizing effect that you felt on your body will diminish overtime but your overall improvements on your health will be permanent." Hiroto smiled feeling satisfied on the improvement of the two.

"Eh, really?!, But it's bad that it didn't help much in my muscles growth." Yasuo touched his undeveloped biceps while he lamented. Even though he had exercised for one and a half weeks, there wasn't much of a change.

"You think it's steroid or something?, well I just said it before, just think of it as concentrated vitamin nutrient drink, you could just continued with your workout if you want muscles or just hit the gym." Helping them a little bit is more than enough to improve but it will still rely on their diligence and discipline then they will have a bright future.

"Don't ask too much, Hiroto give us an important thing already and it probably cost high right?"

'I mean a drink like that would make the world go crazy, we shouldn't dig any further since we already drink it also for the sake of our friend we should keep quiet about this.' Takeshi was very grateful to Hiroto, his body wasn't always in shape since he used to not sleep overnight and get deprived. Meanwhile, it didn't lessen his intelligence since he used to drink vitamins and drinks to alleviate the mental stress.

Now with the help of Hiroto he felt better than ever.

"You two need to exercise more in the future, did both of you found a club that you're interested in?"

"We'll do it later, we lost track of time in the morning since we got pumped exercising."

"Ah, that's why you two were late."

"Ha, ha." the trio laughed while Hiroto noticed Tomoko silently looking at him.

"Kuroki-chan why haven't you eaten your food yet?"

Meanwhile. Tamako had been neglected yet again, though at least she had someone to talk to. In the meantime, felt bitter because she wasn't that proactive with talking to Hiroto, since she always felt embarrassed talking to him.

"Eeh?!"

"I-i'll e-eat n-now!" Tomoko stuff her mouth with food as if wanting to finish her lunch quickly and leave.

"..." Hiroto and co. looked at this rigorous eating girl that was stuffing her mouth faster and faster.

"Cough cough" Tomoko felt like there is a food stuck on her throat.

"Are you okay Kuroki-chan?! Here have a water, drink!" Hiroto quickly gave his glass water to Tomoko while she unconsciously accept it since she wasn't able to breathe much. She gulped the glass of water.

"T-t-hank ...you-" it was for the moment before she realized that she had used Hiroto glass of water to drink. Her face became red and redder until it puffed, she nosed bleed she felt passing out.

"Kuroki-chan ...oyyy, this is bad."

"What have you done, Hiroto?" Takeshi was so shocked

"Shut up, I don't know what you're saying! Are you both kids?" Hiroto felt this delusional girl was imagining something but he didn't really care.

Tomoko passed out like she was having a mental confusion, she had a dizzy eyes, while she kept 'he,he,he' 'Hiroto-kun indirect kiss, indirect kiss indirect kiss indirect kiss '

"....." everyone eyed Tomoko who recovered but recovered in a different way. She had hearts on her eyes.

-

Hiroto and co. headed to the classroom, he spotted a very conspicuous paper that had a colorful drawing, while he noticed the drawings, so he approached while the others walked in the classroom.

"Otonokizaka Gakuin Idol!, First Live Concert Announcement with Umi, Honoka and Kotori. 'Welcome, the live would be held at the school auditorium, see you there!'" Hiroto passed the drawing until he looked at the bottom part.

"And also help us name the group!" There was a mail box beneath it.

"This girls..haa" Hiroto sighed, can't they think of any names to use, but this should at least give them many selections so that they wouldn't need to choose themselves.

'At least they're giving all effort on this idea, they already posted this announcement, with this kind of drawing, I wonder if they would even get students.' The drawing was crude and since they were still just anonymous to the public maybe only a few would watch it. Or the guys might be interested.

"Hoy Hiroto where are you looking at?" Yasuo and Takeshi found Hiroto looking at a school idol announcement. Tomoko was too embarrassed about the incident that she had to go to the nurse room to stop her nosebleed.

"School Idol!?"

"Yeah, Umi-senpai and her group..." Hiroto stopped when he noticed that Yasuo was on his curious mode.

"Who was your girlfriend on the three?"

"Ouch! w-what's that for!"

"Why do you always ask for that question. They're my friends."

"Then why are you helping them?, your eyes tell that have something to do with that group."

"Ehh, it's just I want to help them. They just started so I help if I can.."

"..."

"Who's the girl you're pursuing with the three?"

"There's none for god's sake."

"Then, in that case are you telling me you want become an IDOL!, no that's impo...ouch!" Hiroto hardly elbowed Yasuo,

"Are you crazy!, I'm just helping them, why are you jumping to a conclusion!"

"It's probably a club did you join them?"

"Yeah, think of it like that. Stop asking me more questions, why don't you quickly apply to one as well."

"Yeah, we will do it later as we said, The lunchtime is already over, lets go!"

"Crap!, hurry faster!"

'Thank god they didn't ask more questions, it would be troubling if I had to deal with this every time we see each other. They would probably get busy in the future.' Hiroto smiled. He would be happy if he see these two having the school life they always just imagine in their mind.

- - - -

Then afternoon class ended,

"Then, we'll go now Hiroto." Takeshi said while he fixed his glass.

"Yosh, I'm pumped lets go Takeshi" Yasuo put his arms on Takeshi shoulder.

"Good luck, you two." Hiroto bro fist Yasuo and Takeshi before they left.

Tomoko wasn't able to say goodbye to Hiroto, she was still fl.u.s.tered over what happened so she run of quicker than lightning. Hiroto felt helpless.

'That girl need to fix her attitude' he sighed before heading to the auditorium to perform.

-

'Where did they go I wonder, Maki should be at the music room already.'; Hiroto thought of asking Maki again to persuade her.

Hiroto see someone interested in the bulletin board where the paper was.

"Idols…."

"Interested?" Hiroto walked behind the girl named Hanayo.

"Eek!" Hanayo was surprised with the sudden intrusion to her field, she quickly backed off.

"T-tamaki-kun..." Hanayo quickly head where Rin was. As Rin popped up from the door of their classroom.

"Ah-h, Tamaki-nya, let's have a good fight tomorrow!"

'Tomorrow?, ah it was Physical Education again.'

"Sure, then see you tomorrow, Rin-chan, Koizumi-chan."

"U-un!"

"Then, let's head home, bye nyah."

Hanayo looked at the post again, before following Rin who was skipping ahead.

"What up Rin-chan!"

"..." 'I thought she was interested or something, hmm'

"What the heck is that?"

"..." A twin tailed black haired girl suddenly surprised Hiroto.

"Interested?"

"No!, that's stupid!" the girl left abruptly leaving Hiroto scratching the back of his head.

'What's wrong with these girls? Are they interested or not?.'

'- - - -

Hiroto didn't want to perform again this time, he wanted to look for the three, they're probably somewhere here at school. He looked for them outside, they could be in an open area like where Honoka was practicing yesterday.

"Hiroto-kun?"

"Ah, so this is where you are."

Many students noticed them as they looked like they have seen their love interest for a hundred years.

"Iyah-h, look it's Hiroto-kun."

"Look, he's not going to perform again this day."

"This girls occupied our Hiroto-kun."

"But, we can't do anything about it, it was his decision, grrr. Damn Hiroto -kun"

"But, what about our letters, he wasn't reading it."

"I've waited for my confession long enough already!"

"Stop her!."

"..."

"Let's move to another place to talk ha-ha" Hiroto had a dry laugh.

"Hiroto-kun's really popular" Kotori said.

"No, it's not that much, they just heard my performances, that's why they are like that."

"Instead of like a helper you said before, why don't you become our producer?, I looked up and idols say they have one as always!"

"Eh, I could but I can only help with making a tune for the songs you wanted to create, I said before, I am not good at making songs right?."

"Yeah, he-he, by the way are you looking for us?"

"I thought I could help you, do you have any problems?"

"We were looking for a place to practice singing and dancing."

"Ah, so that's it...hmm, I could probably recommend you somewhere."

"You know a place!?, where we wouldn't disturb anyone?!, that's great!."

"We looked up for some places but it was always had many students."

"We'll they have their own clubs activities after all, follow me." Hiroto made them follow him, and reached the rooftop.

"Here? well it's vacated so we can use it... b-but there's no shade, if it rains we wouldn't be able to practice."

"Then just use the music room!" Hiroto smiled while he recommend the music room.

"But it's for public use, can we use it?"

"Yeah, there's really no one would use aside from me and Nishikino-san, I could just move the instruments to the other rooms."

"Eh-h but that's work, we would troubled you."

"No, it's not and I'm part of your idol venture right?, consider this much help since I wouldn't be able to help aside from this kind of stuff."

"Right, then if you move it, then call us so we can help."

"Hmm, don't worry about that, it probably wouldn't rain these days." he hoped it wouldn't.

"Then if it comes to that then we just need to move it right?"

"Yeah, don't worry the music room is very sound insulated unless the doors and windows are open so you don't have to worry about others." Hiroto think of the time he had performed their, he left the door open so he was easily discovered.

"Yeah, then let's start our practice here for now."

"Let's start with some singing practice!"

"Okay!"

"....."

"....."

Hiroto looked at the three who was standing in line before he speaks.

"You guys don't have any song to practice?. Hff." Hiroto was trying hard not to laugh.

"No, I don't have one." Kotori looked robotically slow to Honoka who was on her left.

"Neither I" Honoka put her hands on her head.

"Me, as well."

"Hahahaha" Hiroto laughed hard while he rolled over the floor.

"It's not funny at all Hiroto-chan" Honoka puffed at the sight of Hiroto.

Umi had a blush on her face while she looked at Hiroto who is laughing so hard.

"We forget about it okay?." Umi said blushingly.

"Umi, you should ask ourselves, we have really forgotten about the song that we would sing." Kotori laughed dryly while she didn't forget to ask Umi.

"Ahh, we didn't add it to our list to do!" Honoka got an enlightment.

"Ehem, ehem."

Hiroto stop his laughter while he stood up while he said.

"You three should write a set of lyrics or a poem, as for the composition I could do about that and as for the singing and tune, well I would try ask Nishikino-chan, I don't grasp about female voice so a girl should fit more on that role." Hiroto don't have a singing skill, so he wouldn't be very adept at that, though he was able to bridge the gap of being better than an average person singing using his beatboxing vocal control skills.

"Should we ask right now?."

"No, she would probably decline again, you should try tomorrow or I could accompany you."

"No!, I want to ask her myself!" Honoka raised her fist high.

"If that is what you want."

"Then, all is set." Kotori cutely said.

Until Hiroto remembered training and stuff, 'this girls are probably not good at stamina, they would need to workout and stuff'

"What about your training and making your body more flexible." Hiroto asked them curiously.

"..."

'So you didn't think of that as well.'

"Eh, I could show you an exercise plan, I may not look like it, but I'm actually quite buff." Hiroto flexed his biceps to them jokingly.

"Right, I've heard about some girls wanting to touch your m-muscles."

"Don't speak about the shameless things Kotori."

"S-sorry."

"I will try to help with you three's training schedule, you don't mind that right?, it's something I could help after all"

"Yes, we're really grateful"

"It's not that much" Hiroto said slightly embarrassingly but he continued.

"Then, let's meet at the shrine steps at 6 in the morning tomorrow."

"Hai, roger ho!" Honoka put up a soldier salute that made them all laugh.

"..."

- - - -

Hiroto said goodbye to the trio before he heads to the music room. He finds Maki singing 'Aishiteru Banzai' again but he didn't enter the room at that time. He entered after she finished it while he clapped at her.

"You're really good at singing, you know, can you compose a song, fo..."

"I'm not doing it, ask yourself that question.."

"Hey, why are you being like this, aren't we friends already."

"No, you just made that assumptions, hmpf"

"Hey, you agreed to it already before, you.." Hiroto approached Maki as he tried to tickle her.

"Don't approach me, ah-h"

"Hey, haha-ha! ha!., stop, haha!"

"Ok, I get it, hahaha!.."

"Bully, you only know how to tease girls." Maki had a drop of tear in her face.

"You know, I only do this to you, well let's start my lesson for today, or do you want me to perform another song?."

"...."

"Do what you want." Maki pouted as she crossed her arms while looking sideways feeling a little fl.u.s.tered while there was a happy feeling in her.

"Sit beside me, this would be my most intense performance ever."

"Ehh?, I don't want to." she looked at the other side.

"Just do it," Hiroto approached Maki while he held her hand as he pushed her slightly to the stool so that she would sit beside him.

"Iya!"

"Just sit there okay!, please?"

"Moouu!." 'Thankfully, no one here besides us or Maki would leave. Maki was so easily fl.u.s.tered but thankfully during the time they were alone at least she wouldn't left Hiroto instantly but not until someone come and bother them.

'I'll play a nice song for her, since I always think of her cute blushing face real… hey what am I thinking just play a song that can make her smile.''

"The song name is "Dango Daikazoku."

The moment he said that, he didn't give Maki the time to tsukkomi on the name of the song and just started his performance. He played with the piano with a soft tune while he sang softly man voice. Not on falsetto but with a cool big voice that was pleasing in the ears.

"dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku x2

yancha na yaki dango yasashii an dango

sukoshi yume migachi na tsukimi dango

usagi mo sora de te wo futte miteru dekkai otsukisama

ureshii koto kanashii koto mo zenbu marumete

"..."

dango dango dango dango dango daikazoku x2"

"What's with your song, it had a dumb lyrics."

"It's good, right? and you're tearing up again."

After Hiroto was done, he looked and saw Maki who was wide eyed as she felt the nostalgic feeling of happiness and joy in the performances but at the same time there was something looming like hopelessness and despair. It may be because Hiroto was reminiscing when he watched that anime. It made Maki tearing for a bit.

"It's because your piano are that good, I felt some emotion when you play it."

"...m-mah at least you already forgiven me right?"

"Who, would forgive you, baka"

"....at least you're happy" Hiroto smiled at her earning him another wave of embarrassment from her.

"..." they were silent for a moment before.

"H-hiro, T-tamaki-kun, can you teach me this song as well?" Maki fidgeted in her position.

"Why, you like this song?" Hiroto perked up his ears, he heard something that was really nice of her, he smiled very great this time.

"Of course, why would I ask you."

"I can teach you but in the meantime you should answer my messages quick, I got tired of waiting for your reply last day."

"I'm busy at my house, I still had to study and stuff." Hiroto asked

"Why are you so determined in studying?"

"Well, my papa wants me to study hard…..i-it's not the main focus here, just teach me how to play it." Maki pinched his underside, which made him 'ouch' exaggeratingly. Though it made Maki red for some reason.

Hiroto at least got something from his teasing, now he knows that Maki had a pressure on her side, maybe that's why she didn't make friends in her class based from her going to the library or here.

"But you must reply to my message when I text you okay?"

"Hurry up or I'll pinch you again." Maki got redder.

"Hai, Hai."

- - - -

Honoka side.

They were currently having snacks with biscuits and tea. Honoka and Kotori urged Umi to write the lyrics.

"Hiroto-kun said we must make a lyrics for the song."

"Do we need to?" Umi looked at the two.

"Yeah!" Kotori nodded.

"Right?" Honoka looked at Kotori and smiled.

"Yeah!" Kotori cutely nodded again.

Until Honoka and Kotori eyed Umi with a loving smile.

"Ehh, w-what is it?" Umi had a bad feeling about this.

"I remember when we were in middle school, you wrote poems and stuff right?"

"Ehh?"

"I remember reading some of them back then!" Kotori seconded.

Umi stand up and tried to escape from the two's hand.

"Let me go!. I want to go home!" Umi exaggerated while she tried to escape from Honoka's grasp..

"Umi-chan, come back inside!" Koroti shouted.

In the end Umi had to go back inside.

"I don't want to do it"

"Come on, you would be able to partner with Hiroto-kun with making the song."

"Eh, what are you saying, don't make it sound like that!" Umi blushed slightly.

"You know, you're the only one who had the time to do it, I had my hands for our costume already" Kotori said.

"Leave it to Honoka!, she was the one who got us into this."

"Well, I'm not really good at making poems, you remember what I wrote during middle school right? he-he" Honoka cutely scratched her head.

"She wouldn't do very well." Kotori said plainly.

"And don't ask Hiroto-kun more, he's already going to help us with the composition and stuff." Kotori looked Umi with her beady eyes while shouting with her cute voice.

"Umi-chan!, Please!" Kotori with her cute pleading voice.

"Ahh!"

"Ahh! That's cheating,....well I can try." Umi blushed for a bit.

"Yes!" Honoka and Kotori high five each other.

"I also need to ask NIshikino-chan about it, maybe if she can join us."

"That girl Hiroto and you mention?"

"Yeah!, she's really good at singing and her piano is comparable with Hiroto-kun!"

"But, she'll probably deny you quick if you asked her to become one of us."

"At least we'll try if she can make us the tune and make her help with the composition." Umi said analyzing.

"Worried about Hiroto-kun?" Honoka joked while grinning ear to ear.

"Why do you say that." Umi shouted at Honoka

"Just kidding he-he"

"Mou."

- - - -

Back to Hiroto, he got home quick after teaching Maki, he didn't see Yasuo and Takeshi. He hoped that they got accepted.

He was currently thinking of a balance training schedule for the three.

'The three needed a not light but not hard exercise plan, probably jogging would be nice, wait,'

'I still had the boosting powder, maybe I could alleviate them with that.

He could dilute the powder in many times, since it would still work very well. Since the three doesn't need a perfect athletic body, making them just slightly better than an average person should be enough. Or if he can get another drink in the future, he still needed to consider if he would give them that.

'I wonder, how would I make them think of it as just ordinary, it had a magical effect after all.. well let see for tomorrow.'

He thought of how to make Maki, help them.

'I can't just ask Maki to join them easily.' Hiroto really wanted Maki to join the trio but he wasn't confident that Maki wouldn't quickly leaving him alone in the music room so he was tight lipped about it earlier. Maybe he would help Honoka tomorrow and give Maki more push so that she could consider helping them at least for the song or better if she could join them.'

"Why am I even doing this." Hiroto wondered why, he saw Honoka's desperation or maybe it was he wanted Maki to become a school Idol as well and Umi?. Hiroto nudged his head left and right before removing this thought. He was having fun with the course of things.

'Mother should be able to see their performance, I should live it to her, speaking of livestream..'

Hiroto started his stream, readying his equipment thereby he opened his camera function.

"He, waited for someone to enter before saying."

"Hello, everyone my name is the PianoMan, here again for another batch of revitalizing piano pieces."

"At last, I was worried you wouldn't stream. Thankfully I was just on time!"

"Our emotion therapist is here again!, please heal our hearts with your piano again."

"Yes +1

"..."

"Yes +200"

"Everyone, for today, I will play a piece called 'Unravel'. ready your headphones and get yourself prepared for an emotional ride, I won't sing this time." While the chat was having a wild time, Hiroto prepared himself as he tune himself with the piano, he started playing.

Aside from the constant spam, everyone who was truly listening stopped in their tracks. They were filled with a different emotions this time. It was like the notes were angry and their was a despair to it.

Everyone had a different imagination but all they had the same thing in their mind, it was that it was full of conflicting negative emotions.

"...."

Hiroto finished his performance, everyone in the chat sended a virtual clap logo.

"What was that catchy piece it's like it was someone's agony!👍👍"

"Yow, I feel like I was getting drowned of the lament, though it didn't feel negative much"

"Yeah, we were submerged to the feeling, it meant that we just felt what the person like to tell us."

"A person can experience things like this overflowing emotions?."

"That's theoretically impossible."

"Is this creation of the PianoMan?"

"Have you considered why were vividly hallucinating when we hear his performances?"

"There's no LSD that can be transmitted virtually, I mean it's reality!"

"No, why would Hiroto-kun experience something like that?"

"Yeah, shut your mouths manwhores"

"Don't compare Hiroto-kun's performance with drugs, well I mean it can be drugs but still."

"He's just that good at piano"

"Right everyone? +62"

"This bitches, rally them up everyone!"

"Ohh +59"

"..."

Hiroto continued performing while he would glance at the amazing chat fight from the manwhores and the labitches between his performance. It seems there was a war between the two groups.

"Thank you again for watching my stream, see again tomorrow!." Hiroto bought the camera before he shut it down.

[Viewers: 1269]

He was getting some exposure, so many people had already shared his streams, though his videos were only half influencing but once they heard his live streaming, it was like hearing it was a whole different feeling. That's why the viewers only kept increasing but not decreasing because they totally loved his performance emotional ride!.

He plopped to his bed while looking at his SP count.

[SP: 588]

'Maybe 2 more days, if I perform at school I would easily reach 1K by then.'

He got his phone and texted Maki for a bit earning another bout of tsun energy before he said goodnights.

"Sorry, I'm busy tonight."

"😤😤"

"Damn."

"..."
