"Really?" A faint smile appeared on Erina Nakiri's face. She had been a little worried that Satou wouldn't like her in a kimono.
"Yes, really." Satou smiled and nodded. In a kimono, Erina Nakiri lost a bit of her sharpness and gained a touch of softness, looking very pure and lovely.
"So, what should we call this group?" Yukihira Soma held up a finger and began to ponder. "Oh, how about 'Hot Spring - Flower Girls'?"
"What kind of ugly name is that?" Alice Nakiri was immediately displeased, crying out indignantly.
Black lines also appeared all over Erina Nakiri's forehead.
"It sounds a bit like an escort girl group," Tadokoro Megumi said with a forced smile.
"Huh? But isn't the group opposite us called 'Hot Spring Flower Boys'?" Yukihira Soma couldn't help but say.
"Please don't associate us with those gigolo groups!" Erina Nakiri cried out irritably.
The other two girls also nodded.
"Then how about 'Hot Spring Girls Group'?" Yukihira Soma tried asking.
"Is there any difference between this and the last name?" Alice Nakiri cried out angrily.
"Then how about 'Hot Spring Schoolgirls Group'? Or 'Hot Spring Three Sisters'?" Yukihira Soma asked.
Erina Nakiri and the other two: "..."
"You're just making it worse, aren't you?" Erina Nakiri couldn't help but say.
"Yeah, and she's looking more and more like a compensated dating girl," Tadokoro Megumi said with a forced smile.
"As expected, the first one sounds better, right?" Yukihira Soma chuckled proudly.
"Then let's vote. All those in favor of calling it the Hot Spring Flowery Girls Group, please raise your hand," Hayama Akira said, raising his hand.
Then, Yukihira Soma and Ryo also raised their hands.
Satou thought for a moment, the names were similar anyway, so he also raised his hand.
"Alright, so it's four to three, it's happily decided!" Yukihira Soma slapped his fist into his palm, delighted.
The three girls all looked as if life had lost all meaning.
In their opinion, they should at least choose pleasant names like Snow Country Girls or Cherry Blossom Girls, right? But Hot Spring Flowery Girls Group… Could this name be any more rustic?
"By the way, what song are you planning to sing? Can Alice sing Japanese songs?" Satou couldn't help but ask. Alice Nakiri grew up abroad, and although she spoke fluent Japanese, whether she could sing was another matter.
"I don't think I've heard many Japanese songs," Alice Nakiri admitted, looking troubled.
"I… I don't really know many songs either," Erina Nakiri said softly, blushing.
"Oh, Erina, what was that song you sang for me last night?" Satou asked.
"The school anthem!" Erina Nakiri said softly, her face red.
"Huh? Miss Erina, did you secretly sing for Satou last night?" Yukihira Soma asked in surprise.
Erina Nakiri's face turned even redder, and she secretly looked at her feet.
Alice Nakiri, on the other hand, puffed out her cheeks, extremely jealous.
"The school anthem? What's that?" Yukihira Soma looked bewildered.
"It's the Far Moon Academy school anthem, Yukihira-kun, don't you know?" Tadokoro Megumi asked in surprise.
Actually, Satou was also hearing about it for the first time, but considering that the school anthem was the only song all three girls knew, he could only say, "Then why don't we try the school anthem first?"
"Eh?" The three girls all looked bewildered.
Soon, the performance began.
Erina Nakiri, Alice Nakiri, and Tadokoro Megumi, the three girls, dressed in beautiful kimonos, stood outside the inn, all with their heads bowed, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Huh? Is Miss Erina going to sing?"
"Is that for real?"
Eishi Tsukasa, Kobayashi Rindo, Isshiki Satoshi, and the others across from them, hearing the news, were all surprised.
Miss Erina, who was usually so proud, was actually going to sing! It was truly astonishing.
Erina Nakiri's cheeks were flushed with shyness, feeling very awkward. If it weren't for Satou's request, she would never do something so embarrassing.
"Oh, Erina, this is the first time I've seen you in a kimono, it looks great!" Kobayashi Rindo's eyes lit up, praising, "The other two girls are also very beautiful."
"Really?" Hearing the praise, the three girls were somewhat happy.
"Hey, hey. Is your group still looking for members?" Kobayashi Rindo leaned over and asked enthusiastically.
"Huh? Senior Kobayashi wants to join too?" Satou asked in surprise.
"Yes, wearing beautiful kimonos and singing together, I'm really envious. Anyway, there's not much to do at the inn," Kobayashi Rindo nodded with a smile. "Speaking of which, does your group have a name?"
"Oh, it's called the Hot Spring Flowery Girls Group," Yukihira Soma, who was nearby, said.
Kobayashi Rindo's smile instantly froze on her face.
Eishi Tsukasa and the others were also somewhat speechless.
"Senior Kobayashi, if you want to join, you can do so now," Satou said.
"I suddenly remembered that the inn is actually very busy every day, so let's just forget about this," Kobayashi Rindo suddenly said seriously.
Erina Nakiri and the three other girls all had black lines on their foreheads, feeling extremely embarrassed. Sure enough, this name was still too unpleasant, full of rusticity and compensated dating vibes.
"Haha, this name sounds great! Just like our Hot Spring Flowery Men, it's full of youthful vitality!" Isshiki Satoshi, wearing a yukata, burst out laughing.
Who wants to be like your host club group!
The three girls all puffed out their cheeks, looking at him angrily.
"By the way, what are you going to sing?" Nene Kinokuni suddenly asked.
"The school anthem," Tadokoro Megumi said.
Nene Kinokuni: "…"
"Huh? But the school anthem is really nice," Tadokoro Megumi couldn't help but say. She really liked this song.
"That's right," Erina Nakiri also said. She was equally proud of the Far Moon school anthem.
"Next, please enjoy the performance brought to you by the Hot Spring Flowery Girls Group!" At this moment, Yukihira Soma suddenly shouted loudly.
"Yukihira-kun! Can you not shout so loudly?" Erina Nakiri's face turned crimson, and she cried out in shame and annoyance, "Or you don't have to include that group name!"
"Exactly! It sounds like a performance by girls from a pleasure house," Alice Nakiri also puffed out her cheeks, complaining.
Eishi Tsukasa and the others were also very speechless.
