In comparison with other students at school, Aoi seemed to hang out the most with Akihiro. Sometimes so much that even Chiyoko and Naoki did complain and ask jokingly if he had forgotten them already. Of course, they, along with most of the students in Class 3-A and members of the Orchestra Club, know all too well of the fact that Akihiro has totally fawned for Aoi. But Aoi, unfortunately, still sees Akihiro as nothing more than a close friend, completely oblivious of how his classmate felt towards him.
After returning from the summer trip, the whole school is busy with the preparation for the upcoming annual Miyagi Summer Festival. The clubs are also in a hurry to practice and prepare to show their talents in the festival, but overall, an energetic and bustling atmosphere is definitely in. And, it seemed that the most anticipated performances this year belonged to Orchestra Club and Instruments Club.
At times that Aoi didn't hang out with Chiyoko, Naoki or Akihiro, he would spend time with the Instruments Club the most. In a course of a month after he join, Aoi is truly pleased to see how they've improved and how hard and enthusiastic they practice and doing all sorts of activities together. He felt that it was nice to stick together like a family like this and he really enjoys their companies.
"...It's you, you who taught me.
If the darkness shines too, then it'll become a night of stars.
Don't hide your sadness behind a laughing face anymore
Because all the twinkling stars will shine on you..."
Currently, they are practicing the song Hikaru Nara and all of them will perform this song together on the stage while playing their respective instruments, with Aoi playing the synthesizer. They all sang together as the melodies from their instruments echoed. Though this is just practicing, they still put all of their heart and soul into their performances.
"Okay, guys. You all did well. Keep this up while we're in that stage and we'll win the first place for sure." Minori praised as the whole club cheered and applauded themselves.
Other than the song they all will perform together, they still have three other performances - "Summer in my heart", the performance of Minori, along with the violinist Nikaeda and the flute player Amizuki; a remixed version of "Synchrogazer" performed by the two bass players Mizuhashi and Okimura with the drum player Hashimoto; lastly was apparently the most expected piano solo by Aoi himself with the song "Planetarium." They all have their own rooms and spaces to shine and they have been practicing hard for it.
After going through the performances one last time and giving everyone their advice, Minori called the day off and everyone then headed home, feeling more excited than ever because of the festival which was only two days away.
