Juniors Amasawa and Yukinoshita immediately pulled Ichinose-senpai over.
And what surprised Ichika was this Ichinose-senpai was actually a good singer.
She has a great voice, and even when she's working with Yukinoshita, there's an unexpected aura of harmony and cooperation.
After learning that Ichinose had joined, Hikigaya-senpai naturally could not continue to slack off.
Because if it was just Amasawa and Yukino, then they would probably just put on a show that looked impressive and attractive, and then just perform an ordinary show to lure people in to reap the rewards.
Just collect ticket fee and leave it alone.
However, now that teacher group has been added, and even Ichinose has joined, it is obvious that opportunity to slack off will be reduced.
So to speak.
'Why did it turn out like this?' Hachiman sighed inwardly.
However, he still sat down and discussed with them performances needed for cultural festival.
At the beginning, with idea of reaping the benefits, Ichika and Yukino were just preparing to go on stage and sing a song.
As for Hikigaya-kun.
He seems to be quite popular in 3rd and 2nd years, and is also vice-president of student council.
So even if other person is just a beginner pianist, it will be OK.
'Because by then I will only be able to play one song to accompany you....!'
Start thinking formally about items need to be performed that day.
"Chabashira-sensei said that she was suddenly arranged to participate in the performance. She seemed at a loss, but had some confidence in singing. Ms. Hoshinomiya said she will cooperate with her."
So, Chabashira is together with Hoshinomiya again.
Hikigaya had a strange feeling in his heart.
Because Chabashira and Hoshinomiya give him the feeling of mature versions of Horikita and Kushida.
During the uninhabited island exam, Mr. Hoshinomiya also violated the rules several times, all because of Chabashira.
And as everyone was unanimous in the special exam, Hachiman realized even more clearly that Chabashira and Hoshinomiya were both stuck in the past.
'But now, Hoshinomiya-sensei and Chabashira-sensei have decided to sing on festival, but you haven't come out clean yet? Although I think Ichinose's class teacher is a troublesome person, she is like a mature version of Kushida-san. She is very good atlivening up the atmosphere, and this kind of bitch... No, this kind of lively big sister should be very popular. So it can also increase our sales....'
Think about it this way.
Hachiman and his friends are ready to reap the benefits, thinking that a turnover of more than 30 million is already secure, and now with various buffs being added, it seems that 40 or even 50 million can be expected.
Because points exceeded expectations, Hikigaya-senpai, who had always had a good impression of points, finally stopped slacking off.
"Then let's arrange in different batches." Yukinoshita seems to be quite good at assigning tasks and people's work, "The teachers' performances can be separated. After all, there is still a gap in free time between teachers and students. So even if we want to have unified training, it is difficult to do it completely."
"That's a good idea." Hachiman nodded when he found a good reason to stop practicing for a minute, "But there has to be a finale at the end to make it complete. So I suggest that even if they are very busy, teachers should still have a joint performance with us. It doesn't matter if they don't have time.....For example, we can arrange for Chabashira-sensei to take the bass, unplug it, and stand on stage to fill in the gaps. Anyway, people who come to see her are definitely not there to see her performance. It will be enough for her to just stand on the stage...."
"Wouldn't that be a bit too much? It's like deceiving our audience." Ichinose asked in a soft voice, trying to stop these people's money schemes from going outrageous.
"Is it too much? Although most of the students and teachers in this school are not in vocal field, there should be some who are knowledgeable," Yukino lowered her head slightly, supporting her chin with her left hand, "It's just that time is urgent, and it seems this is only emergency arrangement. But it's better to let popular teachers give us a little introduction than to not know anything at all."
"Then you're just cramming like me," Hikigaya-senpai felt at home.
"Indeed." Yukino smiled rarely. 'Because this senpai has been slacking off for past few days, but now he has to work hard. Finale is a group performance, Hikigaya-senpai must know at least 3 songs. Now, his lunch break will be gone...!'
"But we are not completely too late. We have two experts here, one is me, and the other is...Can I ask you for a favor? Amasawa-san."
Yukino had already gathered information from Chabashira and Hoshinomiya that two of them could not play any musical instruments at all.
So if they wanted to get them on stage for the final performance, they would need a genius to lead the team and let them start from scratch.
"....." Amasawa was roped into this.
"I just returned those garbage novels back to you. Shouldn't you at least do this much, Amasawa-san?"
"....." Ichika felt wronged! 'Cou--Could it be she took Ishigami-kun's novels on purpose...?'
"What's wrong, Amasawa?" Ichinose Honami has always been a serious and good child.
Take out a small notebook to record and analyze the suggestions made by everyone.
Then she just put down her pen and found that Amasawa, who usually took the lead, seemed to be in a daze.
It took a while for her to come back to her senses.
"....I understand. I will assist. After all, this is the plan I proposed at beginning. As the leader, I certainly cannot shirk my responsibility."
In fact, the mood is very subtle.
Because she is obviously representative of Class A of Grade 1, and she is also the general conductor of this performance.
Yukinoshita had always been assisting her, making suggestions, cooperating, and then making arrangements.
Just like her left and right hands.
This is weird!
'Since Hikigaya-senpai came over today, why did Yukinoshita-san suddenly become so assertive that she even had a direct work conversation with him so casually? Or are they usually like this in student council?' Amasawa found that she seemed unable to fit in with atmosphere just now.
'It's so weird. I even thought, is Sakayanagi-senpai really my biggest threat? Because, Sakayanagi-senpai, it seems like she is raising a tiger to harm herself!'

Because there are geniuses in team.
So even if time is tight and you have to start from scratch, there are ways to cope with it.
This is something that ordinary students cannot experience.
But soon, these hardware issues can be dealt with, but there are still areas that need to be addressed.
That's choice of track.
The songs for teachers' group's performance were chosen by themselves.
But considering how Chabashira usually treat people...
Hikigaya-kun recommended Kareto.
"The finale is a performance by everyone. I recommend Bitter Sweet. This is a popular song right now, and it fits the atmosphere of our students....In addition, there is a bass, drummer, piano, and duet. Whether it is the arrangement of number of performers or popularity of song, it should be acceptable."
No one has any objection to Yukino's choice.
However, there were differences of opinion in choosing performances of the three people.
At first, Yukino, Amasawa, and Hachiman wanted to fool around, so they chose a song [Haru ga Kita] as their performance.
Targeting Horikita Suzune.
Hikigaya-senpai should just slack off the whole time.
Now that Ichinose's talent in singing has been discovered, she has joined in, so Amasawa has given up her position as lead singer.
Then you need to reselect the track.
Select the song of Ichinose's Eternal Paradise.
As for Yukinoshita, who is also the lead singer, she said that she can sing any song.
Because she is talented in singing.
I'm so proud.
But Hikigaya-kun knew very well this Yukinoshita-san was not just boasting.
She practices what she preaches.
Although Hachiman felt that she gave him a feeling of Horikita-san at first, he could feel that while Suzune was constantly growing, Yukinoshita had almost reached the point of perfection.
Perhaps due to her family background, Ichinose isolated herself because of her dark history during junior high school years.
So there is no exposure to new things.
The songs she knew and liked to sing were all older ones.
It was probably popular ten to fifteen years ago. This made her feel embarrassed.
There is no problem with this.
Because, most of the people who were harvested by this performance and concert were from shopping streets and teaching staff, and the age of teachers and staff all started with 3 or even 4 digits.
The older songs are actually what they expected in past eras.
So the options emerged.
1. White Album sung by Yuki Morikawa
2. Sound of Destiny sung by Ogata Rina, an idol of same period as Yuki Morikawa
3. And the lovelorn single written by genius pianist Touma Kazusa - "Love Without a Reach."
You need to choose two out of three songs.
It doesn't look difficult.
But it's really L to choose.
After all, all three songs sound great.
The four people who need to perform have completely different preferences.
Yukino thinks White Album is more popular, while Ichinose retorted Sound of Destiny is also very interesting.
Ichika thinks that if she sings "Love Without a Reach", maybe she can get more comments.
Then everyone's eyes were on the person who had not yet made a choice.
"....." Hachiman.
