Aoi was absent during the meeting of the Orchestra Club over which songs they are going to perform at Miyagi Square because he was busy with the rehearsal of the Instruments Club. They all are going to perform in front of a huge audience in one of the biggest square in the countries so the tension really is high in the air. But Aoi has been a huge encouragement for all of them and he believe that they will be able to show the most perfect of performances during their student time.
After the rehearsal with them, Aoi excused himself because he still had another rehearsal with the Orchestra Club up next. Though he had promised that he would take all of them for a treat when the session is finished, in which they all were thrilled. The rehearsal with the Orchestra Club is quite fast since there are only one song, in which Aoi secretly wondered why did they only choose one. When it is finished, every member left, with the exception of Yuki and those from Class 3-A. Hiro then asked if they wanted to do anything.
"I think Chiyo-chan and Naoki have already got stuffs to do with their clubs today so I'm going to take the guys from the Instruments Club out for a treat. If you guys aren't busy right now then I suppose you can come along too? My limousine is big enough to take us all and I think they wouldn't mind. What do you say?" Aoi suggested and Akihiro was the first to raise his hand, without doubt. Others also decided to come along since they didn't seem to have any other businesses either.
As they made their way towards the school entrance where the limousine is waiting for them. However, as they stepped outside, Minori was standing in front of the club door. "Oh, hey Minori-san. Where are the others?" Aoi asked the Instruments Club president. However, he sensed that something was rather odd just by looking at her serious expression.
"I told them to wait at the entrance. I'm just here to have a word with Yuki-chan about the contest at the square tomorrow." Minori said calmly before moving her gaze to Yuki, "Yuki-chan. I heard the guys said that you only chose to play only one piece tomorrow. Is it because you thought that you might completely stole the show like last year?"
"Wait, so the Orchestra Club only play one piece, after all? I thought it was strange since we only practice one song earlier and it wasn't even a really stand-out piece either." Aoi asked, in which Yuki nodded. And it somehow caused him to feel a little annoyed, because it also means that they only partake in the contest for fun, not taking it serious.
"Listen, Yuki-chan." Minori approached her classmate and held her hand before Aoi could manage to say anything, "I know you have good intentions and you want me to win this year. But we play music because it is our passion and we can express ourselves through it. Of course, we also have high hope that we would win, but if we didn't, that's okay. It's a huge blow to our prides knowing that we won just because someone with higher potential stepped back for us to claim the prize. It's not like me and my guys, Shimizu-senpai included, wanted to start a competition between us and you guys. But this is a contest and we want it to be fair. So I hope that you guys will just do your very best like how you did last year. Is it okay?"
Aoi also stepped up from behind and spoke, "I'm also a member of the Instruments Club and I agree with what Minori-san has just said. The only thing a true artist seek when playing music is passion and the joy of expressing themselves and bringing different stages of emotions to their listeners. I know you have good intentions for Minori-san, but by doing this, you have unintentionally discourage the spirit of my club and it is something I can't tolerate. I do not want to start a fight either, but I will not play for the Orchestra Club's performance tomorrow if you don't promise that everyone will play at their best too. What do you say?"
He knows that he's being painfully straightforward, but this is just how he is.
