Crossover Anime: I'm at Shuchiin Academy, and my surname is Uchiha.

Chapter 153 Official Performance: Lonely Rock!

As expected, a typhoon swept through Tokyo on the day the band Links performed.

In just a few minutes, the dark sky and the ground became indistinguishable to the naked eye. Waterfalls cascaded down from the sky, and rain rivers flowed across the ground, creating a blurry water world.

The best option in this kind of weather is to stay quietly at home. But unfortunately, some people have to go out today.

Backstage at Starlight, the four members of the Band of Bonds were mentally prepared, but they still felt a little disappointed after learning that some of their friends couldn't make it today.

Hayasaka Ai arrived, but Ling Yuzhiha Ling didn't expect that everyone from the Classic Literature Club would also show up.

The first to arrive were Ms. Hiratsuka, the Yukinoshita sisters, and Chitanda Eru. Although Chitanda's family doesn't allow Eru to go out alone in this kind of weather, Chitanda could have come over in the Yukinoshita family's car.

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat puzzled as to why her older sister was also watching the performance.

As for why she came, it was because she was invited by Hayasaka Ai, and... Hayasaka told her that a certain Uchiha had been paying attention to this band.

Finally, Amakusa Shino arrived, braving the wind and rain to walk to the starry sky. Her explanation was simple: since it was a band recommended by a club member, she had to come and listen.

Hayasaka Ai was also touched when she saw Amakusa Shino walking in with an umbrella. This second-year upperclassman who told dirty jokes was actually a very kind person.

Amakusa Shino: "Oh dear, it's all wet."

Hayasaka Ai stepped forward and took the umbrella. "Are you wet, Amakusa-go-bu? Let me dry you off."

Amakusa Shinobu was a little embarrassed, "Isn't that a bit inappropriate... after all, that place..."

Uchiha Ryo stepped forward and interrupted a certain department head's terrible speech that was about to be delivered. Although the senior was very gentle, her head was full of lewd nonsense.

At this point, everyone from the Shuchiin Classical Literature Club except for Miyuki Shirogane was present, and all of Toyosaki's friends had also arrived.

Eriri, Megumi Kato, Natsume holding her cat teacher, and Utaha Kasumigaoka, a senior student.

Uchiha Ryo casually found a place to sit down, only to see Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly sit down beside him, speaking quietly in a very familiar manner.

"Junior Ling, you're really something! Do you know all these girls?"

Uchiha Ryo: "...One is a clubmate from Shuchiin High School, and the other is a clubmate from Toyonosaki High School. Is there a problem?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly sat down on the other side. "Your club is really impressive. Do you never join clubs with guys?"

Uchiha Ryo put on an innocent look, "Are you kidding me? The Classic Literature Club has Shirogane Miyuki, right? And in Toyonosaki's clubs, isn't there that guy over there holding the cat?"

Yukinoshita glanced at Natsume with a forced smile. "Ling-junior... Shirogane Miyuki from Shuchiin is about to run for student council president, so he naturally won't be involved in club affairs much anymore. As for that boy over there, I remember he's Ling-junior's younger brother, right?"

Uchiha Ryo didn't want to speak, but Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly gave him a "don't worry" look. As someone who enjoys himself, Haruno would recklessly test the limits once she became interested in someone.

"Let me help Ling, my junior!"

As she spoke, Yukino Yukinoshita suddenly stood up and looked at the group of very beautiful girls over there.

"Hi everyone, I'm Yukino's older sister."

Chitanda Eru and Hayasaka Ai, who had met Haruno before, nodded, while Eriri and Kasumigaoka on the other side looked at the female college student with curiosity.

"You must be the friends that Junior Ling met in Toyonosaki, right? It's a pity that Junior Ling will be returning to Shuchiin Academy next week, so...would you like to come and join our Shuchiin Academy's Honshin Festival?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha sized up this upperclassman who seemed to have a good relationship with Uchiha Ryo, and her eyes lit up when she heard the words "Hoshin-sai".

As a novelist with a broad range of knowledge, she was familiar with the legend of the Hōshin-sai Festival at Shuchiin.

Eriri and Megumi Kato, who were completely unaware of the situation, raised questions.

Kato Megumi: "Um... what is the Hōshin-shōri? Is it another name for a cultural festival?"

Yukino smiled and then began to tell the legend of the Hōshin Festival.

A man who deeply loved a seriously ill young lady donated his heart as a medicinal ingredient, which helped her regain her health.

Because of this fairytale-like love story, the tradition of the Hōshin-sai (Heart Festival) came about at our Shuchiin Academy. It is said that if you give someone a heart-shaped gift during the Hōshin-sai, you will receive eternal love.

"Eternal love..."

Even the rational Yukino Yukinoshita has a sentimental side, and all the women present immediately became curious about Shuchiin's Hōshin-shō.

After all, Yukinoshita and Chitanda had just entered high school and had never formally participated in events like the Hōshin-shō.

Yukino Yukinoshita: "So, my lovely juniors, if any boys give you heart-shaped gifts, remember to just refuse them."

"Hey, Junior Ling, are you listening? Have you prepared your heart-shaped gift yet? Who are you going to give it to?!"

Uchiha Ryo: "....."

Hayasaka Ai/Kasumigaoka Utaha: I see, I'll definitely win her over!

Kita Ikuyo, from the band Link, who had been eavesdropping on the audience backstage, blinked.

"What an interesting cultural festival, oh wait, I mean, the Honshin Festival. Hey~ let's go sometime!"

Little Lonely remained silent. Eternal love... could she truly possibly obtain such a thing? If she were to give one to Ling...

Ah!! What am I thinking?! Look at that group of people outside, aren't they all more outstanding than me? That's Ling's social circle.

Nijika Ichichi: "We'll talk about it later, everyone get ready! We're going on stage!"

.....

Please enjoy our original song, "Guitar, Loneliness, and the Blue Planet!"

As the band entered the stage, Yukinoshita Haruno returned to her seat.

The performance begins! Ijichi Hoshika sighed silently in the back, while Uchiha Ryo frowned.

Why did the drumbeats start off so chaotic? If the drummer tries to beat the beat, the whole thing could fall apart... And Kita's guitar playing, it seems the tense atmosphere has also caused her considerable disappointment.

The first song ended... It was indeed quite good for a student band. However... if this is all they're capable of, their debut ends here.

Do you want it to end like this? A little lonely...

She doesn't want to! Ling is watching this side, and just as Uchiha Ling said, Little Lonely doesn't want to stop! She won't stop here!

Just two days ago, Xiao Gudu was too afraid to play a guitar solo, but suddenly, before the second song, he started playing his own solo.

She wanted to draw all the attention with her solo performance! The best way to do that was to show off her skills, using her ultimate strumming technique and the raw power of a guitar hero to make up for her previous mistake.

They immediately started playing the second song, and the other band members, seeing Xiao Gudu's determination, put aside their nervousness and began to play their hearts out for the audience.

The audience members unconsciously swayed slightly to the rock music, and Uchiha Ryo finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Their skills have finally improved... Well done, now we can finally start working on the game's music.
