"Eh??!!"
Hearing Lin's words, which sounded like a somewhat improper threat, Yamanaka Sawako couldn't help but freeze, feeling a bit strange.
Tainaka Ritsu blinked and said with a beaming smile, "Yamanaka-sensei, let's sit down and have a good chat."
"Yeah, yeah."
Hirasawa Yui also nodded.
Akiyama Mio looked expectant. "Please, Yamanaka-sensei."
Lin looked at Kotobuki Tsumugi. "Tsumugi, there's still some black tea and macarons left. Please prepare some for Yamanaka-sensei."
"Okay! (^o^)/"
Kotobuki Tsumugi responded with a happy smile and hurriedly went to prepare them.
Hearing 'black tea' and 'macarons,' Yamanaka Sawako's eyes flickered slightly, a trace of temptation flashing past her gaze.
"Ritsu, Yui."
Lin looked at Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui, signaling them with his eyes.
"Come, come, come, sit."
Tainaka Ritsu and Hirasawa Yui instantly understood the situation. Each grabbing one of Yamanaka Sawako's hands, they made her sit down next to Kotobuki Tsumugi.
"This..."
Yamanaka Sawako feigned hesitation but sat down half-reluctantly.
Lin sat opposite her, watching her with a hint of a smile on his lips.
Meeting Lin's meaningful gaze, Yamanaka Sawako felt inexplicably guilty and averted her eyes.
Thoughts couldn't help but bubble up in her mind:
What is with this Student Lin? Why do I always feel like he sees through everything?
But he really is handsome!
And he's tall. If I were seven or eight years younger, I might not be able to resist pursuing him myself.
He perfectly fits my aesthetic!
Wait, what am I thinking?!
Thinking this, Yamanaka Sawako felt a bit of shame and confusion in her heart:
Could it be that because I've been single since birth for twenty-five years and never had a boyfriend, my heart is starting to flutter?
To actually have such thoughts about a student younger than me!
I can't think about this anymore...
Yamanaka Sawako hurriedly suppressed these thoughts.
"Yamanaka-sensei, please enjoy."
At this moment, Kotobuki Tsumugi placed a cup of black tea in front of Yamanaka Sawako.
Akiyama Mio also plated the remaining three macarons and placed them on the table.
"Thank you."
Seeing the black tea and macarons, Yamanaka Sawako's eyes lit up.
Her cravings were instantly aroused.
At this moment, Lin smiled and said, "Yamanaka-sensei, do you know the cause of why the Light Music Club was almost abolished?"
"Eh?!"
Yamanaka Sawako froze.
"Is it related to Yamanaka-sensei?"
Hearing Lin's inquiry, Tainaka Ritsu, Akiyama Mio, Hirasawa Yui, and Kotobuki Tsumugi couldn't help but look at her.
"I don't know."
Stared at by everyone, Yamanaka Sawako's eyes drifted involuntarily, a trace of guilt flashing in her eyes.
"Really?"
Lin waved the photo in his hand.
Yamanaka Sawako: "..."
Damn it, to actually be caught by a student holding leverage.
And what is exactly going on with this Lin? How does he seem to know everything about her past?
"Stare~~~~"
Hirasawa Yui and Tainaka Ritsu immediately looked at Yamanaka Sawako with an expression that said, 'I will scrutinize you forever.'
A look of probing curiosity also surfaced in the eyes of Akiyama Mio and Kotobuki Tsumugi.
Everyone was looking at Yamanaka Sawako.
"I..."
Yamanaka Sawako once again felt the sensation of being drenched in sweat.
"Fine, fine..."
Finally unable to withstand the pressure of everyone's gazes, she chose to show her hand.
She looked up at a forty-five-degree angle.
Directly entering flashback mode:
"Back then, like you, I was also a student at Private United High School. At that time, I was actually a violinist."
"Until one day, my brain short-circuited."
"I happened to see a heavy metal band performance, and I suddenly wanted to try playing different music."
"So I gave up the violin, picked up the electric guitar, and formed a rock band with friends from the Light Music Club."
"I wanted to try innovating."
"As a result, without realizing it, I became obsessed. My attire during performances also became increasingly wild."
"The Light Music Club turned into the Heavy Music Club. After seeing our performances, fewer and fewer new members joined."
"Some new members even quit because they couldn't adapt."
"Eventually, it evolved into this."
"Hehehe..."
Speaking up to this point, Yamanaka Sawako lowered her head and let out a helpless laugh.
"Ah, this..."
Listening to her story, the four girls, including Tainaka Ritsu, couldn't help but exchange glances.
They hadn't expected the reason to be this.
How should they put it? It felt quite ordinary.
They had thought they would hear some explosive reason.
Moreover, they expressed understanding for those members who quit.
After all, having seen the photo album, they roughly knew how wild Yamanaka Sawako and her group's attire used to be.
Especially Yamanaka Sawako.
Her later getups looked like she could go make a cameo in an Ultraman show.
Even if it were them, they definitely wouldn't have joined the Light Music Club either.
Hearing this, Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
A trace of strangeness flickered in his eyes.
It was a bit different from what he knew.
Although the process was somewhat different, the result was the same.
"Ritsu..."
Lin made a signal with his eyes.
Received!
Tainaka Ritsu signaled back.
Then she looked at Yamanaka Sawako, who was currently in flashback mode.
She smiled and said, "Sawa-chan, please raise your head."
"Eh! Sawa-chan?"
Yamanaka Sawako froze upon hearing this.
It was the first time someone had called her that.
And it was her own student, no less.
Tainaka Ritsu continued, "The matter is already in the past, so Sawa-chan, you don't need to be too conflicted about it."
"Student Ritsu..."
Yamanaka Sawako froze, and some emotion involuntarily rose in her heart.
However, just at that moment.
Tainaka Ritsu said with a beaming smile, "If Sawa-chan doesn't want to be exposed, then be our advisor."
"Eh??!!"
Yamanaka Sawako couldn't help but be stunned.
What happened to the touching moment!
Lin spoke up at this time, "Our Light Music Club has afternoon tea every day. As long as you join, you can taste it."
"Yamanaka-sensei, don't you want to enjoy delicious afternoon tea after finishing a hard day's work?"
Hirasawa Yui also chimed in at this moment, "Right, right! Tsumugi brings delicious black tea and snacks every day."
"Super tasty to drink, super tasty to eat."
"This..."
Hearing the two speak like this, Yamanaka Sawako was a bit moved.
But she was still a little hesitant.
After all, being responsible for two clubs felt too tiring. She still wanted to slack off and rest more.
Lin then said again, "Usually, we will practice by ourselves. Teacher, you can come over whenever you want."
"We won't take up your time."
"Mhm, mhm, mhm..."
Tainaka Ritsu and the other three nodded one after another.
Looking at Yamanaka Sawako.
Thick expectation surfaced in their eyes.
"This... Alright."
Hearing Lin say this, and seeing the expectant looks of Tainaka Ritsu and the other three, Yamanaka Sawako agreed.
Mn, it was definitely not because of the afternoon tea.
"Yay (▽), that's great!"
Seeing Yamanaka Sawako agree to be the Light Music Club's advisor, Tainaka Ritsu and the other three revealed happy smiles.
Lin also held a smile on his lips.
After all, the Light Music Club's advisor teacher just had to be Sawa-chan to feel right.
Seeing everyone so happy, Yamanaka Sawako also smiled.
Then she picked up the black tea and took a sip.
A satisfied expression instantly appeared on her face.
