Having them continue singing and dancing was not just for the sake of recording videos. It was also so that they could give them advice.
There were some things that even Sato could not notice, but everyone in the Light Music Club could point them out and suggest some good solutions.
This surprised Sato somewhat.
For the first time, he felt that bringing everyone from the Light Music Club along this time had indeed been a good idea.
Kosaka Honoka and the others spent the entire morning singing and dancing. At noon, everyone went together to have lunch at a small shop below the shrine. After resting for a while, they continued training in front of the shrine in the afternoon.
The long hours of training left Kosaka Honoka and the others utterly exhausted. Even their performance outfits were soaked through with sweat. Once drenched in sweat, the outfits looked somewhat transparent, accentuating the girls' slender figures...
"All right, that's enough training for today."
Sato suddenly stepped forward and looked at Kosaka Honoka and the others.
They were already completely exhausted. If they continued training, something unexpected might happen.
Kosaka Honoka gritted her teeth and said, "We can still..."
Before she could finish, Sato interrupted her. At some point, he had already come to stand in front of her.
Sato looked at her with a deep gaze that faintly carried a hint of admiration, but his tone was full of reproach.
"Now isn't the time to push yourselves. If you keep training, you might cause damage to your bodies that could be difficult to recover from. At that point, it simply wouldn't be worth it."
Kosaka Honoka was stunned for a moment, but in the end, she gave up.
Seeing how hard they had worked, Sato could not help thinking about the current state of the Light Music Club.
He turned around and gave Ritsu a deep look.
"Don't you think our Light Music Club is a little too relaxed?"
Ritsu instinctively turned her head away, her gaze wandering as she whistled.
If one looked closely, they could see a faint blush spreading across her face.
The others' faces were also slightly flushed. After seeing how hard the others had worked and comparing them with themselves, they really had been too lazy!
The only one who was happy about this was Nakano Azusa.
She looked at everyone with bright light sparkling in her eyes, her small hands unconsciously clenching into fists. She looked extremely excited.
Everyone... are they finally going to start working hard?!
Heaven knows how many times she had secretly been heartbroken over how degenerate everyone in the Light Music Club had become. Could this finally be the moment when they changed?!
Meanwhile...
After stopping, Kosaka Honoka and the others felt as if all their limbs had gone weak. Their entire bodies were completely devoid of strength.
More importantly, their performance outfits had been soaked through with sweat, making them sticky and extremely uncomfortable to wear.
Sonoda Umi frowned, looking uncomfortable as she examined the performance outfit she was wearing.
"I really feel like taking a bath..."
If they did not take a bath, even changing back into the clothes they had worn when they arrived would still feel uncomfortable.
"If you don't mind, you can take a bath in the bathroom at our shrine."
Suddenly, a sweet, smiling voice reached everyone's ears.
Sato turned around with the others and saw the purple-haired shrine maiden holding a broom.
She wore a red-and-white shrine maiden outfit and stood in the square covered with cherry blossoms. Her long purple hair, bound with a white shimenawa-like paper ornament, hung straight down behind her all the way to her hips, the strands at the ends swaying gently in the breeze.
Her?
Sato was slightly stunned and had yet to react when Kosaka Honoka beside him suddenly called out happily.
"Vice President!"
Vice President?
Apart from the girls from Otonokizaka, everyone else looked somewhat puzzled.
Tojo Nozomi slowly walked over, gently waved at Kosaka Honoka and the others, and gave them a sweet smile.
"Everyone's been working very hard. You must all be exhausted!"
Kosaka Honoka asked excitedly, "Vice President, what are you doing here?"
"Idiot!"
Sonoda Umi said somewhat helplessly, "The Vice President must be working here part-time as a shrine maiden. Koko, didn't you notice the shrine maiden outfit she's wearing?"
"Eh? Oh, right!"
Kosaka Honoka suddenly understood. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Sato standing beside her and quickly said, "Oh, right, Vice President, this is..."
"I know. He's the young man who asked me my name earlier."
Tojo Nozomi looked at Sato, blinked at him, then covered her mouth and giggled softly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Sato felt countless gazes turn toward him.
The corner of Sato's mouth twitched. Looking at the smiling Tojo Nozomi, he silently gave her a label.
Fox eyes like Ichimaru Gin!
Sure enough, anyone who smiled with narrowed eyes was totally a guy like Ichimaru Gin!
Sato took a deep breath and explained helplessly, "She just helped me pick up some of the drinks earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to carry all of them back."
Ritsu snickered from nearby.
"But why did you ask for her name..."
Sato was left speechless.
That was the one thing he could not explain.
He had asked Tojo Nozomi's name earlier simply because he wanted to investigate her background. According to the system's mechanics, the other party had to reveal their identity before a profile card could be generated, regardless of whether they gave their real name or a false name...
That was why Sato had asked for her name.
But now... he really had no idea how to explain it. After all, asking someone's name just because they had helped you out made no sense unless you had some kind of interest in them.
He could not exactly say that he wanted to repay her for today's kindness someday, could he?
She had merely helped him pick up some drinks. Did that really require such a thing?
No matter how he put it, that excuse sounded strange!
Seeing Sato remain silent, everyone's imaginations immediately began to run wild.
Everyone looked toward Tojo Nozomi.
Taking a closer look, the purple-haired shrine maiden before them was undeniably a beautiful girl. Not only did she have mysterious and dreamlike purple hair, she also possessed a pair of beautiful eyes that resembled emeralds.
Purple and emerald green.
Both were extremely rare and beautiful colors, giving the purple-haired shrine maiden an additional air of mystery.
Most importantly, the purple-haired shrine maiden had a very ample chest. Even beneath the loose shrine maiden outfit, its fullness was still clearly visible.
So this was his type?
Everyone fell into thought.
Although Sato had no idea what everyone had suddenly gone silent to think about, he somehow felt that none of it was particularly favorable to him...
