BanG Dream: The Unexpected Part-Timer

A Small Lecture From an Expert

The following morning, a burst of energy shattered the silence, marking Kokoro's lively wake-up call. Our cozy snow bed was abruptly disrupted as she woke me up.

"Huh? Kanon and Kyo-kun? Did you two get uncomfortable in the snow bed?" Kokoro's concern resonated in her voice, her eyes darting between Kanon and me.

"N-No... we're fine," I mumbled, attempting to shake off the lingering drowsiness that clung to us.

My mind was still foggy with sleep. Dang... I still feel sleepy...

As we clumsily gathered ourselves, a distant sound echoed through the serene landscape—a helicopter approaching.

Excitement rippled through the air, prompting all of us to rush outside to witness the unfolding spectacle.

"Ohh!~ It's them!~" Kokoro's arms stretched wide, and she waved enthusiastically.

Them?

My gaze fixed on the descending helicopter, revealing a group of individuals clad in black suits and shades.

Huh? Those two who were driving the helicopter look very familiar...

A woman, impeccably dressed in a black suit, took confident strides toward us. "Now, Lady Kokoro and Hello, Happy World, please board the helicopter. It must be freezing cold out here."

Lady Kokoro?! Is it just me, or is Kokoro super rich?!

"Thank you so much!"

The five members of Hello, Happy World! eagerly boarded the helicopter. However, just as I was about to follow suit, the woman halted me with a stern look.

"Hm? Are you Nakasone Kyo?"

"Y-Yeah..."

Her piercing gaze bore into me, scrutinizing my appearance with an intensity that sent shivers down my spine. "So, you're the guy who the headmaster was interested in."

"Huh?" I tilted my head in confusion.

"No worries, please board in, young master."

Young master? Eh?

I sighed, perplexed.

Whatever.

As I stepped inside the helicopter, the hum of the rotors slowly drowned out the winter stillness. The landscape beneath us transformed into a white canvas as we soared up into the sky, leaving the snowy haven behind.

The helicopter's descent brought us back to the cottage.

"We're back," I and Misaki announced as we entered the cottage.

"I'm heading to my room," I added, making my way to my private space.

Once inside, my eyes locked onto my phone, peacefully charging on the desk. I hurriedly unplugged it, embracing it as if it were a long-lost friend. "I miss you, my technology~ I promise I won't leave you again!!"

I know I'm being a freak right now and I don't care! It's a big mistake leaving my phone!

In the midst of my tech-loving moment, a voice interrupted me. "Uwah."

Hm?

I slowly turned my head to the door, only to find Misaki standing there with a look of mild disgust.

"U-Uhm... I can explain," I stammered.

"Right... I understand you're a boy," Misaki deadpanned.

She began to walk out, slowly closing the door.
