Road of Passion

"What! 230 thousand Yen!?" Moa and Yui were shocked when they heard how much is the cost of renting a complete set of sounds and lighting system for a performance concert.

"Yes but we can have it cut down up to 20 percent if we don't avail all the equipments in the rental." Yuuya explained. "So that will be...?"

"184 thousand Yen. That's still very expensive." Moa answered quickly since she is very sharp in calculating.

"Why can't we use the sound system of our school?" Yui asked.

"The available sound system of our school can't handle concert type audio and it is just for indoor purposes. The school Idol performance concert will be held at the school grounds and not in the gymnasium since it would be used as club exhibit area." Suzuka explained.

"I think the school authorities are really giving us a hard time with this. They gave us a challenge that is impossible to succeed then they would just laugh at us because we haven't actualized what we desired. Such a kill joy!" Moa angrily commented.

"Actually Moa, that's how things really work. The gymnasium is really used for club exhibits since most of the exhibit materials and paraphernalia used by most of the clubs are not safe if displayed outdoors; for example some science experiments, computers, and paper and wax crafts which is very vulnerable to humidity, heat and rain. The concert however is held on the school grounds since the number of people that would be watching is uncertain. So to prevent stampede, the concert is held outdoors. And if you see the bright side of it, we can be more creative in our performance if we do it outdoors. We could use fireworks, fog machines, and larger props which we can't do if we hold the concert indoors." Suzuka further explained.

"You have a point Su-san, but where can we get this large amount of money?" Yui asked.

"Girls, I have this small bank account I've opened when I was still fifteen, and it already have a total of 140 thousand yen. It would be a great help if I use it as a donation for your project." Yuuya said.

"Onii-chan? But I thought you would use that to build your own decent recording studio?" Yui was shocked because of what her cousin said.

"It would be selfish for me not to help when in fact I can. And besides, it's just money. I can earn it again."

"Arigato, Koba-kun. We really appreciated it." Suzuka thanked him.

"So where will we get the remaining 44 thou... uggghhh!! I hate those numbers!" Moa grunted.

"Let's see" Suzuka checked her notebook. "So Natsukawa-san offered 900 yen, Yui-chan gave 500 yen, Moa-chan gave 400 yen, Su-chan gave 1000 yen for a total of 2800 yen. So we only have...?"

"41200 yen to earn. Sigh, that's still big but at least our contribution helps." Moa said.

"How about let's make a small business? Like garage sale or selling some home-made food?" Yui suggested.

"Now that you mention it, maybe I could sell some of my book collections and antique discs."

"And we could also sell some snacks in the neighborhood! My mama bought a new cookbook, maybe we can check it out!" Moa said.

While Yuuya canvassed for much cheaper alternatives to lessen the cost of the sound and lighting rental needed for the concert, Suzuka sold online her book and disc collection. She was confident that she could generate a lot of funds with this since a lot of her collections are limited edition series and collector's items. On the other hand Yui and Moa were reading the cookbook of Moa's mother at their house.
