Disastrous festival

A bright sunny day greeted all the students in Sakuragaoka highschool. A perfect day indeed to enjoy the school's festival, but except for one.

A girl approached to Ritsu who's sitting by the window. Sulking.

"A-Ano...R-Ritsu-san?" she blushed.

Ritsu only glanced with an emotionless expression, "What is it?"

"Y-Your shift for the kissing booth is on the afternoon after your bands performance."

"Oh, okay. Thanks." Ritsu's smile almost melt the girl away who ran and squealed, she then sighed. 'This might be my unlucky day.'

She then continued to watch from above the busy students preparing and entertaining guest down below.

An hour before their performance, they all gathered in the music room. All are busy preparing except for Ritsu. Azusa noticed this and approached her senpai.

"Ritsu-senpai, are you okay?"

Ritsu turned her head towards the latter who plastered a concerned facade.

"Well, yeah. I'm fine Azusa."

Even though she cast a grin, she's obviously not.

"Ritsu, are you not feeling well?"

Now, it was Mio's turn.

Ritsu mentally deadpanned, 'Actually, I'm not! This stupid necklace will drag hundreds of girls for me!'

"I'm fine, Mio." she then gave a smile.

"After our performance, you can take a rest Ritsu." Mio tapped her shoulder while giving off that loving smile before walking away and getting her bass.

'Kami-sama? Let this day be good to me.'

"Okay everyone! Get ready, you're on in a few minutes!" Sawako reminded.

"Hai~!"

Sawako watched them as they busied themselves in preparation.

-THACK-

They all turned their heads towards the direction of the sound, and finds Ritsu face-first on the snare drum.

"Are you okay Ritsu?!" Mio hurriedly approached the latter and pulled her into sitting position.

"Hnn... I'm alright." Ritsu sighed and so does Mio, but for different purpose.

'I hope I can survive this day.' Ritsu stretched out her arm and back. "Wooh! Alright guys, ya ready?"

A sudden change of mood bewildered everyone, especially Mio.
