Talk

Yuuki looked confused at everyone.

"Nothing! There is nothing!" Ritsu answered with panic.

"Y - yes, there is nothing!!" Yui also panicked.

"Nothing!!" Mugi also did the same.

Mio was the only one who was incoherent and didn't know what to do. She only helplessly closed her face with both of her hands.

Yuuki became very confused with everyone.

Arai chuckled, looking at their cute reaction.

"Yuuki, Aria-senpai, you can sit and try the tea and cake," Shouko said.

"That's right! Here! The tea, you can drink tea here!!" Ritsu suddenly came back and told them.

"Yes, there is also cake too!!" Yui added.

"Yes, my chef has just baked the cake earlier!!" Mugi said.

"P - please sit down here," Mio said.

Yuuki was quite amazed at how luxurious their afternoon tea was. He knew it was because of Mugi since she was very rich, probably on the same scale as Aria or something.

"Ah, this tea is wonderful," Aria said. She had sat first and left him standing there.

Yuuki shook his head and also sat near Shouko while taking a cup of tea. He was curious about the tea and drank it slowly. He smelled the delicate aroma with a mellow taste and a hint of sweetness from the tea.

"Is it Darjeeling?" Yuuki asked.

"Yes, I am surprised that you know," Mugi looked at him with a surprised expression.

"Well, I like coffee and tea, this is normal," Yuuki answered. He liked both of them since it was very good to eat with cake since he had a sweet tooth. He placed his cup on the table and started to discuss the 'Summer Music'.

"'Summer Music'!!!" Mio, Ritsu, Yui, and Mugi had a longing expression. Four of them had seen that concert in the past and it was very awesome only the most popular singer and the band could sing in that concert. If they could enter that concert they felt that their dreams had come true.

"But, can we really do it?" Mio became scared. She knew that they had won the runner up of the 'Amateur Music Tournament' but they were still far away from being popular. She was also scared to disappoint him at the same time.

Ritsu, Yui, and Mugi also felt the same way as her, even though they were excited. They were also nervous at the same time. They were only a normal high school student before and now they could sing in the most prestigious concert in this country.

"That is why I propose to have training camp," Yuuki said to everyone.

"Training camp!!" They were surprised to hear this term but they were also excited about it. They started to imagine staying together and having a party together.

"Yes, yes, let's do it, let's do the training camp!" Ritsu said excitedly.

"Yes, I will call my little sister!!" Yui said.

"I will ask permission from my parents as soon as possible," Mugi said.

Mio was also happy and excited but she was curious as to where they would have their training camp, "Where will we have our training camp?"

Yuuki thought for a while. He hadn't used his music studio in his house and felt a waste if he didn't use it. He looked at them and said, "If you don't mind, do you want to do it in my house?"

"What?" They were surprised that they would come to his house suddenly. They weren't prepared at all but at the same time, they were excited.

"Yes! Let's do it at your house!" Ritsu said.

"Ok!" Yui gave him a salute.

"Sure, I will come too," Mugi said.

"Is that okay?" Mio asked. She was happy but she was worried that she would bother him.

"Sure, it is okay," Yuuki answered.

"Yes, everyone can play there, it is a good place, there is even a hot spring there," Shouko said.

"HOT SPRING!!"

"Let's go there! Let's go there now!"

"Let's go! Let's go to the hot spring!!"

"Don't be hasty, you need to have permission from your parents," Yuuki had a wry smile on his face. He didn't expect them to be this excited.

"Can I come too?" Aria raised a question to everyone.

"Of course, Aria-Senpai should come too! The more the merrier!!" Ritsu didn't wait for his answer.

"Yes, the more the merrier! Let's have a party!!!" Yui was also excited.

"Party! Pajama party! Pillow war! A love story!" Mugi started to imagine the sleepover and the training camp in her mind.

"L - love story!!!" Mio was nervous and blushed at the same time.

Yuuki and Shouko looked at each other and smiled at the same time. He looked at her and remembered that he still hadn't fixed his relationship with Yaeko. He also needed to tell Shouko about his relationship with her mother. He wasn't sure how she would react to the news but he only hoped that she would accept it right away. He knew it would feel weird when both daughter and mother dated the same man at the same time.

Yuuki knew this was weird but he couldn't stop his feelings. He wanted both of them at the same time. He needed to meet Yaeko before he talked about this matter to Shouko. He thought that he should visit her company when she went home. He had made his mind but before that, he needed to visit Ayako before that.

Yuuki talked with them for a while and went back to go to the school health unit to meet with Ayako. He still remembered that place since Shino had guided him there earlier. He felt that useless knowledge had some benefit somehow. He opened the door and saw a beautiful woman in a white coat.

"Ayako..."

The woman turned her head toward him, "Yuuki..."

They needed to settle their feelings before that.
