The Guy Who Messed Up Is Gradually Doing His Best - Chapter 65: (The Head of the Newspaper Club's Perspective)

I am Sononeta Saiko, the head of the newspaper club.

Hehehe, ever since he started coming to school, I’ve been having such fulfilling days.

Because if I follow him, interesting information will always come my way.

“Alright, today is going to be busy.”

For now, I plan to extract and summarize the information from the first day of the cultural festival, so I open the MINE app and start checking the group chat for the third grade.

.

.

“I stood in line at Taketo-kun’s mini parfait shop.”

“Me too. He shook my hand because he felt bad for making me wait. I don’t want to wash my hands anymore.”

“I understand how you feel, but let’s wash it properly.”

“Nice, I went to the mini parfait shop, but Taketo-kun wasn’t there.”

“Well, you see, Taketo-kun’s booth was really crowded, so to manage the situation, the student council president, the discipline committee chairperson, and the cultural festival committee members took him away.”

“Oh no, I should have lined up earlier~”

“Hehehe. Taketo-kun came to our class’s mock store and bought a crepe. When I handed it to him, I ended up holding his hand♡”

“Actually, I was standing behind Taketo-kun in line, but when it got crowded, I took advantage of the situation and hugged him tightly♡”

“What do you mean!?”

“Hmm…”

“I also… hugged him when it was crowded. Or rather, wasn’t the whole point of this crowd to hug Taketo-kun?”

“Oh, I heard that too, but I couldn’t make it in time.”

“Hey, you shouldn’t write things like that here.”

“It’s bad, delete that.”

.

.

“Hehehe. Don’t worry, I won’t do anything like that.”

From the first day of the cultural festival, it seems like everyone is having quite a valuable experience, which is great. It’s a bit regrettable that this is the last cultural festival.

But you know, I’m not bragging, but I was pretty amazing too. I relied on information from everyone (the club members) who got ahead of him at the stalls and exhibition venues he was likely heading to, and casually lined up behind him and hugged him from behind three times.

It’s truly information gathering at the cost of one’s body. Hehe. Every time he asks, “Are you okay?” with that worried look on his face, my heart skips a beat. He’s great, isn’t he?

Well, that’s precisely why I was convinced that his sincerity was genuine and not a facade.

For a while, as I slowly scrolled through the MAIN app and extracted the information I wanted to keep, the date moved to the second day of the cultural festival.

“Yeah, yeah, yesterday’s Taketo-kun was amazing too.”

.

.

“Taketo-kun’s live performance was amazing, wasn’t it?”

“Yeah, yeah. I was so moved that I ended up crying.”

“The sound of Taketo-kun’s singing resonates deep within my heart. Even now, when I close my eyes, I can still hear Taketo-kun’s voice.”

“Speaking of which, there was a kid who fainted.”

“Ah, those guys are our juniors, but they were making fun of Taketo-kun’s song without even listening to it, so I got mad and took them along.”

“Hmm, hmm. And then?”

“I was so stunned that I couldn’t stand. Later, I found out that they were so mesmerized by the singing voice of the male performer, Taketo-kun, that they literally lost their footing. They apologized for making fun of him without knowing anything. And yet, those same people who were so blown away by Taketo-kun’s singing voice are now lining up for a commemorative photo.”

“Wow, you’re so strong!”

“Wow, they had such sensitivity despite their appearance. Well, I was in danger too, though.”

“I think there are probably a lot of kids who just don’t say it but are still affected.”

“The eyes?”

“Different lower part.”

“Yaaaan.”

“Why was I found out?”

“But the commemorative photo made me happy. I edited Taketo-kun’s photo and set it as my wallpaper.”

“Everyone’s doing that.”

“I couldn’t get into the venue, so I want that photo.”

“Okay~”

.

.

“That’s right. His singing voice is really pleasant to listen to. Is it because he’s a man? Ah, in that case, it might have been clear when he (Sawakaze-kun) was singing earlier… Hmm.”

Fortunately, I found out that the newly created netTube channel yesterday is called “Armed Girls.” Of course, I subscribed to the channel right away.

“Oh? Already two videos have been uploaded. One is the music video for ‘By Your Side’ and the other is… oh ho. A member introduction video. Not bad.”

I start by playing the music video right away.

♪〜

“Ahh~. Armed Girls are the best. Taketo-kun’s singing voice is really pleasant, isn’t it… and so charming///”

I returned from picking flowers.

“Ahh.”

Next, I play the self-introduction video.

“Really?”

When the video is played, a cute girl dressed as a boy peeks out. Because of the makeup, she looks like an androgynous boy, but I can tell she’s a girl right away because of her chest.

“Hi there! We’re the Armed Girls! Today, I’d like to introduce you to the members of the Armed Girls who will be active from now on. First up, it’s me. I’m Chiko (Sachiko), the drummer. Nice to meet you! Now, let’s keep introducing everyone.”

The energetic Chiko-chan walked over to find another small and cute girl who looked like a boy, wiping the keyboard.

“She is Tsukune, the keyboardist.”

“Uh, uh, are you filming that?”

“That’s right. Hurry up and introduce yourself.”

“Uh, um… I-I’m Tsuku, and I’m in charge of the keyboard. Nice to meet you all from now on.”

Tsuku-chan bows her head slightly. She’s so cute. I wasn’t interested in yuri, but maybe Tsuku-chan is different. Just as I was thinking that the two of them went over to the handsome boy who was taking care of the guitar. No, wait, she has a chest, so this one is a girl too.

“She’s Sari (Saori), the one in charge of the guitar.”

“Sari~, introduce yourself calmly.”

The two of them call out to Sari-chan with smiles that seem to say their prank was a success.

“Wait, is that a video…?! Are you recording it?!”

A handsome man with wide-open eyes in surprised. She starts to fluster, and her handsome aura gradually fades away.

“Uh, I’m Sari, the one in charge of the guitar…”

She bit into it perfectly, and her handsome vibe completely disappeared. Sari-chan’s face turned bright red in an instant. What is this kid? This kid is cute too.

Leading the way with Sari-chan, whose face was so red it looked like steam might come out, the three of them headed towards the handsome boy who was taking care of the bass. Wait, no, this kid also had a chest, so she was a girl. Nice job, Armed Girls.

“Hmm, what’s wrong with everyone?”

Without paying any attention to the handsome guy tilting her head, the cheerful Chiko-chan starts the introduction.

“She’s Nako (Nanako), the bassist.”

“Nako, please introduce yourself.”

“Hey, hey, Nako. We’re filming a video, so you need to say something quickly.”

“Ah, I’m Nako, the bassist. Nice to meet you.”

When the slightly aloof handsome Nako-chan gave a small thumbs-up, the three of them also gave a thumbs-up to the camera.

“Hehe.”

Those four people, with their fingers to their lips, quietly tiptoed towards the figure of Taketo-kun sitting in a chair, drinking water.

With a towel draped around his neck and his neatly styled hair slightly disheveled, it looks like he might have just wiped his sweat off. His clothes are also a bit disheveled.

When Taketo-kun, who had been relaxing with his second button undone because it was hot, noticed the footsteps and turned around, his figure perfectly filled the screen.

“””Hehehe.”””

“Ah.”

Because of the makeup, despite his cool handsome features standing out even more, he appeared in a sexy manner due to his disheveled outfit.

I could hear the voices of the four people, and they sounded like girls.

“Hey, everyone? …What are you doing?”

“””…”””

“I heard you’re filming an introduction video.”

If you were wondering why it was Nako-chan responding instead of the energetic Chiko-chan, Chiko-chan, Tsuku-chan, and Sari-chan, who were all captivated by Taketo-kun, were frozen with bright red faces, unable to say anything.

“Are you filming this? Umn, wait a second, hold on.”

He hastily buttoned up his clothes as he adjusted his outfit, and running his fingers through his disheveled hair, Taketo-kun stood up straight.

“He is the vocalist of the Armed Girls. Taketo.”

As expected, Nako-chan introduced Taketo-kun. I wonder if Chiko-chan is still frozen in place?

“Um, I’m Taketo, the vocalist of the Armed Girls.”

Then, the screen changes to show the five people standing neatly in a line.

“””””Everyone, we, the Armed Girls, will begin our activities now. Thank you for your support.”””””

The video of the five people bowing and introducing themselves has ended.

I pressed the like button on both the music video and the self-introduction video.

“Haa. I wonder when the next video will be. I wish they would sell the songs too… Huh?”

The performance level of the armed girl is quite impressive for a student. Taketo-kun’s singing ability is also wonderful. And yet.

The third-year band group “Careless” was scouted, but there was no mention at all of Taketo-kun and his band being scouted.

Are the eyes of music industry people blind? No, that can’t be it, but maybe there’s something to this.

“Maybe I’ll look it up a bit…”

As usual, I started checking the bulletin board site.
