I’ll Join the Band in Seconds, if I can Become Popular
(Hibiku enters the classroom.)
Male Student A Oh! Morning, Mito.
Hibiku Ahh, morning.
Female Student A Ahh, I feel you! The captain of the soccer team, right? He was really cool wasn’t he!
Female Student B And that drummer from the light music club! Wasn’t he crazy cool as well?
Male Student B Hey hey, which club are you gonna join?
Male Student C Basketball, maybe. I’ve been in it since middle school, after all.
Hibiku (…The talk about last weekend’s welcome ceremony hasn’t died down, huh.)
(He recalls the welcome ceremony.)
Osei Well with that, everyone, play in the concert band with us! If you’re interested…
Osei Please get in touch with our teacher advisor!
Everyone We look forward to seeing you there!
Hibiku (We’ve gone to such an extent, so it’ll be worrying if no one comes to band, though.)
(Someone enters the classroom.)
??? Morning!
Mashu Ah, Hibikun! Good Mashu Morning☆ You’re already here, I see. You’re early, aren’t you!
Hibiku Ahh, yeah. Morning. I don’t like being in a rush, after all.
Mashu Whoa~, it’s really quite like you to do that, Hibikun!
Mashu Ah, anyway! I got this, you know!
Hibiku Eh…?
Mashu Look, this!
Mashu It’s seriously crazy to have a WinBo fan club, isn’t it!
Mashu I’ve never heard of a club that sets up a fan club at all! It’s amazing, right!
Hibiku Eh, wait a moment. What’s that flyer…?
Mashu A fan club means that the girls will be squealing all over, right!?
Mashu You should’ve told me about something like that earlier~! I told you, didn’t I. That I’d join the band in seconds if I can become popular.
Hibiku You aren’t even listening to people talk…
Mashu And with that, I’ve decided to join the band, so! Looking forward to working with you from now, Hibikun☆
Hibiku Eh… You’re really joining?
Mashu ‘Course! I want girls to squeal over me after all, and I’ll have fans… Gosh~, just thinking about it is exciting, isn’t it♪
Hibiku I-I see. Looking forward to working with you.
Hibiku Anyway, what’s with that flyer? It’s different from the one that we’d made, too… Where did you get it?
Mashu …Hey? You don’t know about it? Look, where the school gate is. C’mon!
(He latches onto Hibiku.)
Hibiku Whoa! What is it all of a sudden—
(Mashu drags him over to the window.)
Hibiku Wait, eh…?
Seriya We’re the concert baaand, please come for an observation if you like!
Sensei We’re the concert band, please take care of us.
Seriya Come now, Sensei-chan. Project your voice even more!
Sensei G-Got it. We’re the concert band! We’re recruiting members!
Seriya That’s the spirit♪
Seriya Where all the attractive boys gather…or at least that’s what we intend for it to be, the Wind Boys of Ibuki. WinBo for short! Please support us, everyone!
Seriya Alright, you over there! Any intention to get hooked over WinBo? We’ve also set up a fan club, so please do certainly support them!
Female Student C A-A fan club…?
Seriya Indeed, a fan club! The kids who join will be informed about their performances a step ahead of anyone else…
Seriya And we’ll also share the members’ activity log and offshoots and stuff as well!
Seriya We’ve still only got a few members in the club for now, but you won’t regret supporting them, so do consider it☆
Seriya —Ah, you over there too!
Mashu …See?
Hibiku Since when did he…
Mashu That person’s also from band, right? He’s a pretty senpai who seems easy to talk to, isn’t he. I wonder if I’ll get along with him well~.
Hibiku Yup, well. But rather than a member, he’s more like a senpai who’s helping us…
Mashu Eh, was I wrong? Although he’s handing out flyers like his life depends on it!? What’s going on!?

Seriya: Won’t you all help us to distribute these as well?
Osei: Oh-kay! I’ll do it, I’ll do it!
