This is a choice of 2 out of 3 songs.
How should he choose?
After making a choice, it is likely to be regarded as
"Let's practice first." So, facing this dilemma, Senior Hikigaya-kun finally said, "We can just perform on spot when time comes. If everyone can accept it, it's okay to play all of them."
"Then Hikigaya-senpai is really a greedy person." Amasawa said at this time with a bad knowing look.
This sentence is very true.
If you can't make a choice, then take them all.
But Ichika too seemed to have a hidden agenda.
"Perhaps I shouldn't have insisted just now." Archangel Ichinose thought that Hikigaya-kun definitely didn't want to hurt anyone. 'Because 3 of us represent one side respectively. There are 3 people on the scene, and if he supports two of them. So what will last person think? He must not want anyone to get hurt. Even if it becomes a little harder....!'
"....." Yukino didn't notice anything weird at all.
She just felt that Hikigaya-senpai wasn't decisive enough and increased everyone's workload.
But those present now are all key figures in the performance. If anyone is in a bad mood, it will affect the performance, "If you choose all of them. Then Hikigaya-senpai, you..."
"I will intensify my training. All three songs have piano accompaniment. It can be said that they are very devilish...." Hachiman felt depressed because...'I shouldn't have learned piano earlier. It's all Sakayanagi's fault. It made me see her radiant beauty and then I became interested in doing something new....'
"....." Sakayanagi was pulled under the bus without her knowing anything, she just tried to show off. But got blamed instead.... really unfair!
Let's not tell her for time being.
Just because the workload has increased, he can't put all pressure on Yukinoshita and Amasawa, so he may have to ask Sakayanagi for help.
"It's only natural for senpai to work hard." Yukino was quite satisfied with Hikigaya-senpai's assurance, because the other party would not make any assurance if it was something that could not be done.
In this way, repertoire was finally determined.
Very quickly.
There was a problem.
That is it.
"....Actually, I don't have much singing experience, and I always feel nervous," a low meek kitten's scared voice was heard by everyone.
"• •"
She got quiet even more.
'Ichinose-senpai is very graceful, kind and outgoing, but does she feel nervous on stage?' A little frown made on Yukino's cheeks as if she didn't understand her worries at all.
She looked at Lemon-senpai to explain further.
"..Fo---For example, I may not sing my lines well or something."
"The correct way to put it is that you sang the wrong line." Yukinoshita, who is also the lead singer, decided to give her some kind tips, "I am a little worried about your condition, Ichinose-senpai."
"Then, Yukinoshita-san, can you go on stage so naturally?" Hikigaya-kun came to Ichinose's rescue, when it was felt by everyone that Yukino was looking down on her.
In fact she was not, it's just her usual behaviour. People gathered now know it very well.
"It should be related to my experience. Before I came to this school, some girls often envied me. And because I was cute and pretty, I also attracted the attention of boys. So in such a harsh environment, I received a lot of attention, and many of those idiots were expecting me to make mistakes or show weakness....And I certainly can't comply with their wishes. So my heart is extremely strong. This kind of stage will not shake me."
What kind of talk is this?
At this time, Hikigaya discovered that this Yukinoshita-san started to raise her spikes like a hedgehog as she spoke.
'This girl seemed to have something in common with me. That is...she seems to have a lot of dark history. Yukinoshita seems to be excellent and it seems that it is not just a matter of talent. Instead, she wants those who are negative about her to never catch up with her. Although it was a bit harsh, itwas undeniable that her solution was correct. If you wanted to bully her, she would only bully you and fight back. That's really scary, Yukinoshita-san....!'
"So if Ichinose-senpai feels nervous...Then try to treat audience as cabbages."
"White, white cabbage..." Look, Ichinose obviously felt this statement was a bit too much, she looked at the other girl for some comfort.
"! • !" Even Ichika felt like something was very wrong here, but she didn't complain or point fingers.
She was used to this kind of behaviour.
Ichinose's lips twitched, she felt breathless because Amasawa was not helpful at all today.
"So, Yukinoshita-san, do you look at other audiences in the same way?" But this strawberry's dark look forced Ichika to open her mouth despite her tongue facing difficulty speaking words. 'I have been in white room all summer, but now I am truly free. I am also trying to understand the outside world....Gain experience. But I feel like there's something wrong with the experience I gained from Yukinoshita-san.'
Amasawa felt personally harmed by this kind of girl instead of borrowing any ideas.
"That's what I read in a book. But I haven't practiced it myself, because no matter what the situation is, I won't panic." Yukino's face was so high right now, it almost touched the ceiling's fan.
'Is that so? But weren't you worried and panicked about your excellent sister coming as a guest?' Hikigaya-kun was thinking badly at this time. But he was smart enough to keep his mouth shut.
Let this girl brag for a while.
But regarding Ichinose's question, he didn't think she was nervous.
'After all, Ichinose is best at interpersonal communication, and is not afraid of getting along and communicating with others. Rather than being nervous, it's more that...she's worried about making mistakes and causing trouble for everyone.' Hachiman had always known that she would definitely worry about these aspects.
'Itseems I have to give her a good lesson tonight...Tell her that it is inevitable for people to make mistakes, and the more you worry about doing wrong, the more likely you are prone to. On the contrary, you should do your best, and even if you make mistakes, you should trust your companions and believe they can handle it....'
Because it took a little time to comfort Ichinose-san, Hikigaya-kun didn't complete the training that day.
But this is his problem, and he can't ask Amasawa or Yukinoshita to make up for it.
Then you can only choose someone who is relatively free to help.
As Hikigaya-kun thought about this, a shining figure appeared in his mind.

Next morning.
Sakayanagi received a message from a rare visitor Hikigaya-kun.
[I heard your performance on the ship before. Sakayanagi-san was so brilliant at that time. I was invited by the first-year students to help perform at this cultural festival, but I have some shortcomings in piano. I hope Sakayanagi-san can help correct them.]
....Oh.
Sakayanagi checked information. It shows nothing wrong in using -san.
She thought other party had no reaction, but it turned out that his arc was just longer. It seemed that her special performance was worth it.
Sakayanagi was in a good mood.
But it happened quickly. Arisu's cute brows frowned again.
'By the way, why didn't I know that Hikigaya-kun was asked to help with the performance? Or shouldn't I be invited to perform together to increase their school memories? If this continues, I can only watch him shine from the audience.'
Sakayanagi immediately felt that it was the other way around.
'What have my classmates been doing during this time? Don't they love collecting information about Hikigaya-kun and reporting it to me?'
For the first time, Sakayanagi noticed that puppies in class were beginning to neglect their duties.
