Young people with light music will not encounter lonely rock music

"We are senior Jasmine's classmates and we are here to visit him."

"Okay, please wait for me to notify you."

After the nurse said that, she turned around and went to the inner room to dial the direct phone number to the ward.

"Have you not been here before?"

Kotobuki Mitsuru asked while the nurse was on the phone.

"It's our first time here too..." Saotome said with a worried look on her face. "I have contacted senior before...but she was unwilling to let us come."

Also.

Presumably the other person is also a relatively arrogant person. For such a person, it would be unacceptable for the important people around him to see his weak and ugly appearance in the hospital bed.

"I think you must be very important to Senior Xia Mian. I don't want you to worry, so I don't want you to come visit me."

"That's right...that must be the case!"

Kita agreed with Kotobuki Mitsuru's words.

"It should...it should be like this..."

The three of them just whispered.

However, with the comfort of Kotobuki Hikaru and Kita, the girls in the light music club looked a little better.

"I've been waiting for a long time. I have already informed Miss Natsume and I have received permission. Please come with me."

"Thank you."

The nurse in the nursing station finished making the phone call and came out to guide a few people.

Hmm... As expected of a private hospital that only wealthy people can stay in, the service is so considerate.

Under the leadership of the nurse, several people got on the elevator together.

After a long time, I finally walked through the empty corridor and came to a ward with the word "Natsume" written on the door.

"This is Miss Natsume's ward."

After the nurse explained, she said goodbye to several people.

Until they watched the nurse disappear at the end of the corridor, no one knocked on the door of the ward.

"call......"

Saotome let out a long sigh.

He raised his hand, but it stayed in mid-air.

Before knocking on the door, she turned her head and looked at her companions in the Light Music Department.

It wasn't until the two girls nodded that she finally continued what she was doing.

dong dong dong-

"Please come in."

Almost as soon as there was a knock on the door, a clear girl's voice came from inside.

squeak-

"Senior Jasmine, we are here to visit you."

This is a single room.

The spacious room barely looks like a ward, and there is even a sofa for people to rest on.

It's more like an apartment than a ward.

In the center of the ward, a girl was wearing hospital clothes and lying on the hospital bed.

The hospital bed is not as spacious as a high-end apartment, so a hospital bed that can barely accommodate one person is most convenient for doctors and nurses to diagnose and treat.

The backrest of the hospital bed was raised, the girl's long hair was scattered on the sheets, and her arms were put in plaster.

"It's everyone...Thank you for coming to visit me. Didn't I say you don't need to come?"

After seeing her companion whom she hadn't seen for a long time, Natsume Jasmine said she didn't need to come, but a smile from the bottom of her heart still appeared on her face.

"Hey...these guys..."

When the girl saw Kotobuki Hikaru, Goto Kazuri, and Kita who entered the ward shortly after, she immediately showed a look of surprise on her face.

"Kotobuki-san, Gotou-san, Kita-san?!"

"First meeting, Senior Xia Mian."

The three of them said hello together.

"How are you..."

Natsume Jasmine looked at her companions in the Qingyin Club with confusion, as if seeking answers.

"Senior Jasmine actually recognizes us?!"

Kita is worthy of being a social person and is very familiar with herself.

It was only the first time they met each other, but they seemed to be very familiar with each other. They followed Saotome and the others and directly called Natsume Jasmine by her name.

"I'm a fan of The Ending Band, so of course I recognize you."

Although Natsume Jasmine was still in a dazed state and didn't know why Kotobuki Mitsuru and the others appeared here, it was still worthwhile to be happy to see the band they liked, and there was a little excitement on her face.

"Senior, can I place the flowers here?"

Saotome held the pure lily and walked to the bed.

On the cabinet next to the bed, there is a glass vase with several flowers in it.

However, the flowers in the vase were showing signs of withering because they had not been taken care of for too long.

"Thank you, Nanami."

After getting the answer, Saotome Nanami put the bouquet in the vase instead.

"Senior Jasmine, is your body... okay now?"

The first thing the three girls were worried about was their senior's health, and they didn't say a word about Kotobuki Hikaru.

"..."

Faced with this question, Natsume Jasmine did not respond.

Both arms were in plaster, so it didn't look like there was anything wrong with it.

However, after just a moment of silence, a smile appeared on Natsume Jasmine's face again.

"Don't worry about me. It's just an injury to my arm. It's not life-threatening."

"But...senpai's hand..."

"...In another two months, I can recover and my daily life will not be much affected."

As if to reassure the girls, Natsume Jasmine did not show any uneasy expression.

But a completely indifferent smile.

"Then, will we have another chance to play with our seniors in the future?"

Risha, who had blond hair and twin tails, asked excitedly.

"Risa!" Saotome scolded immediately.

"...Yes, I'm sorry...Senior Jasmine."

After being scolded by Saotome, Risa lowered her head and bit her lips.

Asking about this kind of thing at this time is undoubtedly poking at the senior's sore spot.

It will only make senior more sad.

"It's okay, Nanami, this is something we have to face anyway... I've already been mentally prepared." Natsume Jasmine said calmly. "From now on, as your fan, I will always watch you continue to perform and perform."

Anyone can hear the implication of the words.

"But...but! I just want to play with Jasmine-senpai! Jasmine-senpai...is an existence that no one can replace!"

Risha bit her lips and finally couldn't suppress the feelings in her heart.

Even though Saotome would definitely scold him for saying such words, he still couldn't help but say it.

However, the imaginary scolding did not appear.

Lisha, who lowered his head, raised his eyes and looked around.

Both Jasmine-senpai and Saotome-senpai were looking at him with complicated eyes.

For them, who doesn’t think so?

It is natural to hope that you can continue playing with your important companions.

Looking at the three people who were immersed in sadness, Kotobuki and the others were gradually exaggerated by the atmosphere between them.

It’s really no wonder that when Saotome asked him to temporarily become the keyboardist of the light section, the two girls, except Saotome, gave him such hostile expressions.

Perhaps, for them, even if the position of keyboard player is always vacant, they are not willing to let themselves be replaced by random guys.

Important existence cannot be replaced, and no one is willing to replace it.

If you are not forced to do so.

"While I was away, did Risa and Chizuru listen to Nanami and practice seriously?"

Qianhe and Risa are the first-year members of the Light Music Club.

"There...some..."

The two girls nodded and said somewhat unconfidently.

"Really, with your hesitant answers, you definitely haven't practiced well, right?" Natsume Jasmine immediately transformed into a preaching state as a senior.

"I'm sorry..."

The two girls made no excuses and bowed their heads to admit their mistake.

In the past, I would have been a little impatient when faced with the preaching of my seniors, but now, facing the preaching of my seniors, I feel a little happy instead.

It's like going back to the old days again.

"How can I do it if I don't practice hard? I, but I plan to leave the hospital before the graduation ceremony and go to the light music department's last performance before my graduation. I don't want to see you all fall into chaos without me. A pot of porridge, otherwise how can the club recruit new people next year?"

"Senior...Senior Jasmine wants to watch our show!"

"Of course! This important junior's first solo performance, of course, I can't miss."

The girls looked at each other with joy on their faces.

"But...because of my absence, the songs you rehearse should also be changed, right? Hmm...how about godknows? Ah...Chizuru just started learning guitar this year. ...It seems like you still can’t do it?”

"Jasmine-senpai...I...I don't want to change the song." Saotome interrupted Natsume Jasmine's words and spoke forcefully.

"Nanami, you are the next head of the light music club that I have determined. Don't be too impulsive. Just choose a piece that the three of you can play." Natsume Jasmine's eyes were a little disappointed. "Now I have no way to perform on stage."

The girl lowered her proud head.

Her long black hair also hung down on the bed sheets.

Strands of hair rested on the forearm that had been completely wrapped in plaster.

What remains on the face is endless disappointment.

"But, no matter what, I hope that Senior Jasmine can hear this song..."

"Eh......"

Natsume Jasmine didn't expect that Saotome would have such a side.

In her impression, Saotome is the most sensible junior in the club.

But at this time, for some reason, she would make such a willful decision.

"Actually...senpai, Kotobuki-san and the others are here because of this matter..."

As Saotome plucked up the courage to speak, Natsume Jasmine's eyes gradually shifted to Kotobuki Hikari.

Although her junior has not spoken yet, she seems to have already guessed what she is going to say next.
