The Sequel to The White Room Troubles is finally here! Follow Kiyotaka on his journey for freedom, peace of mind and the protection of the people he considers closest to him. It's All or Nothing for him. It is recommended to read The White Room Trou...
After a stroll through the campus and back towards the school, Kiyotaka traversed to the third floor of the special building. His destination was the music room, where the rest of the KiyoKei band members were practising.
In just a short few seconds after climbing the stairs, he was already in front of the music room. But before he could enter, he heard the sounds of instruments and singing inside the room. He already understood that the group wanted to practise today, but the pianist wasn't present. Theoretically, the band shouldn't have been able to practise perfectly with a missing band member, unless...
Kiyotaka knocked on the door and proceeded to enter with an "excuse me".
Satou Maya. Mori Nene. Matsushita Chiaki. Hasebe Haruka. Miyake Akito. And, of course, Karuizawa Kei. All the current band members were present. Instruments or phones to read lyrics in hand. It was as he thought, the band had been practising without him already.
Kiyotaka looked towards the piano and confirmed his suspicions. Sitting on the stool for the grand piano, helping the KiyoKei band practise their performance, was a teacher, one Kiyotaka knew quite well since the beginning of the second semester. The teacher had brunette hair that stretched down to her chest, reading glasses and a somewhat skimpy outfit, though calling it skimpy was a stretch.
Hiromu Akane, the music teacher of the Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, was her name.
"Sorry to have taken your place, Ayanokouji-kun. But your friends were quite desperate to practise and you weren't here, so I stepped in to help for a bit," She said as she stood up from the stool.
"It's fine, Hiromu-sensei. I just had something to deal with so I couldn't come straight away. In fact, I'm thankful you were able to get these guys on track while I wasn't here for the time being."
Other than Chabashira, and until Ryuuen's blatant announcement of their rivalry, Hiromu was the only teacher in this school who was aware of the maid cafe idea they had and the performance the KiyoKei band were intending to present at the maid cafe. In addition to that, as the band was without a guitarist, Hiromu was the one teaching Haruka how to play guitar. Therefore, her helping the band in his absence was a welcomed benefit.
"On another note, Ayanokouji-kun. How was your little meeting with Horikita-san and Kouenji-kun?"
The question came from Mori, who was smirking through her eyes. The obvious provocation and teasing wasn't aimed at him, but the blonde haired girlfriend reading through some lyrics with Satou. Unsurprisingly, she reacted, but not in the intended way Mori was hoping for. Instead of pouting and putting up a hissy fit, she just looked at her boyfriend and friend with curious eyes.
"It's not what you think. You heard the conversation back then, right? It was just to negotiate a lower price with Akiusha." Kiyotaka answered.
