Sensei: your character

Sensei: (...I've been waiting for a while, but there was no one who seems to be Iizuka-kun. I have no choice. Let's try calling them again...Hm?)

Sensei: (There's a really luxurious car coming up...)

(?Liam): Minato-sama, please make haste!

Sensei: Minato....sama...?

(?Liam): The ceremony is already starting...! Do you have your handkerchief? How about your student's handbook? We have not forgotten anything, right!? Ah!! Please wait, let me tidy up your hair...

(?Liam): And we're done! No matter where you look, you are a picture of perfection, Minato-sama...!

(?Minato): Don't panic, Liam. I got Backs here, too.

(?Liam): Ah, of course! I'm sure Minato-sama is looking forward to the performance, too.

Sensei: ...Um, excuse me. Are you...Iizuka Minato-kun?

(?Liam): Yes! You are correct! The one standing here is most definitely our young master! Iizuka--

Minato: I'm Minato. This is Backs, my trumpet.

Sensei: I am your homeroom teacher.

Minato: I see. Nice to meet you.

Sensei: It's nice to meet you too. ---Wait, this is isn't the time to stand around chatting! The entrance ceremony is already starting. Let's hurry...!

(?Liam): Ma'am/Sir, I leave Minato-sama in your hands. I will just park the car and will be with you shortly!

Sensei: Alright! Then, Iizuka-kun, let's go!

Minato: Mm.

(?Liam): Minato-sama~~! May fortune be with you~!! This unworthy gallant servant will perfectly finish up after you~~!!!!

Sensei: That person...is that Iizuka-kun's guardian?

Minato: Nope. Liam is Liam.

Sensei: ??? Right, I see.

Vice Principal: Thank you very much to our dear guests for their addresses.

Ousei: Ngh--ahh...the speeches are too long...!

Soshu: Oi, don't slouch on your chair. Face front properly.

Vice Principal: Now we have the current student representative, Student Council President from Third Year Section A-- Hanabusa Atsukage-kun.

Soshu: ---!

Atsukage: To all our new students, I bid you congratulations on your enrollment. On behalf of all the current students, I sincerely welcome you. I am Ibuki High School's Student Council President, third year Hanabusa Atsukage.

Atsukage: This school possesses a long history and tradition along with--

------------------

Sensei: Please enter after the speech by the student council president, alright?

Minato: Alright.

Sensei: Ah, before that, won't you leave your trumpet--Backs, wasn't it--here?

Minato: Why?

Sensei: As per the rules, you cannot bring something that's not important inside.

Minato: Backs is important.

Sensei: Important... oh well, alright.

---------------

Atsukage: --And so I will end my congratulatory address here.

Sensei: He's finished, it seems. Iizuka-kun, shall we go...

-------

Atsukage: Moving on, we normally sing the school song accompanied by the school concert band but---

Minato: Hm...?

Sensei: Iizuka-kun? Is something wrong?

Atsukage: Unlike last year when the concert band played the accompaniment, this year we will have a piano accompaniment--

Minato: Huh!?

Sensei: Iizuka-kun...!?

*sound of doors sliding open*

Atsukage/Soushuu: !?

Takara: Eh? What...?

* Minato starts playing his trumpet.

Hibiku: That's...

Kuri: What's going on?

(?Izuru): ...T...trumpet...?

(?Kojiro): Wah, what a stylish performance~

(?Irei and ?Aoto): ...

(?Mashu): Eh, really!? What the heck, that's amazing!? He really stands out!

Sensei: ................................

/Minato: Backs is important./

* Outside, Reito hears the music from the trumpet.

Student A: Hey, the concert band isn't supposed to perform this year, right?

Student B: Then what was that?

Student C: But...aren't we going to sing the school song?

Atsukage: Please keep quiet. You, please go back to your seat.

Minato: *sigh* What's going on with the concert band? Why aren't they performing?

Atsukage: I just explained it moments ago. The concert band will not play the accompaniment this year.

Minato: But why? I thought I will hear them in the entrance ceremony. I thought I will see that beautiful color here. I was looking forward to watching them---Ibuki's concert band. And yet...why--

Atsukage: ....

Atsukage: The concert band is currently inactive. That's why they are not performing this year.

Minato: Then I'll do it. The performance. And the concert band, too.

Atsukage: ...!

Minato: I came to this school because I want to join the concert band.

Minato: Let's play (music) together! Everyone, join the concert band with me--
