Start By Becoming A Mangaka
chapter-275

Yuuki had arrived at the venue and changed his clothes to a t-shirt.

Uomi had made a T-shirt for everyone who could perform in uniform.

Yuuki could see there were many people who joined this tournament. Most of them were quite older than them and looked very serious in their eyes. He could also hear the voice of the audience from the outside.

He would perform together with Yukari but they didn't have a drummer and bassist. That was why he had asked both Ritsu and Mio in the past. Both of them would become their drummer and bassist at the same time.

Suddenly he felt his phone was shaking. He opened his phone and opened it, "Hello?"

"Yuuki, I am here with everyone in Hitotose," Utaha said.

"You're in a Hitotose?" Yuuki was surprised.

"Yes! Everyone seems to want to talk to you after the tournament," Utaha said.

"Everyone?" Yuuki was stunned and could hear the sound of everyone through the phone. His sweat started to drip and he took a deep breath. He looked at Uomi and said, "Ah, it seems, I am being called, I will meet you after the tournament."

"Hmph, let's see how you can run," Utaha said.

Yuuki shook his head and decided to focus on the tournament. He sat beside Mio who looked quite nervous.

Mio was startled when he sat beside her. Even though she had been together with him for a few days but she was still quite nervous to be with him. She turned her head and saw he didn't look at her but looking at someone. She followed his gaze and saw both many audiences were there. She could see through the gap a lot of people were gonna watch her.

She got nervous again. She had always been like this ever since she was a child. Her friends Ritsu had told her to imagine the audiences as a potato but this was too much of a potato.

"Are you nervous?"

Mio was startled and turned her head toward him. She saw him giving her a light smile. She became shy and answered him stuttering, "Y-yes."

"Well, have you watched my drama?" Yuuki asked.

Mio nodded and couldn't forget about his drama play a few days ago. She had been crying really hard at that time and felt it was the most beautiful play that she had ever seen. She felt his chemistry with the leading actress was very good.

"Do you remember the leading actress?" Yuuki asked.

Mio nodded.

"She has more stage fright than you," Yuuki said with a smile.

"WHAT!!" Mio was startled.

Everyone was looking at them and Mio said sorry to everyone to make a ruckus. She looked at him again and asked, "Really?" She would have never imagined the beautiful girl that she had seen on the drama had more stage fright than her.

"Yes, you're still better and can control yourself but she can't. Whenever she has stage fright, she will become at a standstill like a scarecrow," Yuuki said.

Mio couldn't believe it but she knew that he wouldn't lie to her. She was curious how could the girl lose her nervous during her play, "How did she do it?"

Yuuki smiled, "Do you really want to know?" He gave her a cheeky smile.

"Yes! Tell me!" Mio really wanted to know how she could cure her stage fright. She became close to him before she even realized it and as expected her friends started to gather around her.

"Mio!! Are you going to steal Shouko's boyfriend!!" Ritsu suddenly came.

"Oh, Mio, you're a naughty girl," Yui said with a smile.

"My, my, Mio," Mugi also said with a smile.

Mio started to panic and moved back. She started to explain to everyone, "I-it's not like that!!" She turned her head toward him to look for his help.

Yuuki smiled at her since her panicked expression was very cute. He looked at her friends who kept teasing her and helped her when Mio started to cry. He explained to them how to cure her stage fright and told her about his friend's experience. He also told them about Hina-chan but he didn't tell them how to cure the stage fright.

They became curious and also wanted to know. They were also quite nervous but they knew Mio was the most nervous of all of them. They started to beg him to tell them how to solve their stage fright.

"I will tell you when you're being called to perform," Yuuki said. He needed the element of surprise to make them lose their flight stage.

"Don't listen to this bad guy," Uomi suddenly came to them.

"That's right, this guy must be thinking something bad," Shino also said. She was the only student council of Ousai Academy to come to this tournament since the other student council needed to manage the school.

Yuuki could only twitch his lips when he listened to their accusation. He wanted to take both of them backstage and pumped his white soldier to them but he decided to stop since he heard the voice of a kind angel.

"Don't accuse him like that, he is very kind, even though she is a bit of a pervert," Yukari said while blushing.

"That's not helping, Yukari," Yuuki looked at her.

Yukari stuck out her tongue cutely.

Everyone started to joke to each other and they started to forget their nervousness.

"Everyone, be ready, the tournament is starting," Sawako told them.

"Yes, be ready," Hiratsuka said.

Everyone nodded at the same time and heard the voice of MC.

"ARE YOU READY FOR THE AMATEUR MUSIC TOURNAMENT!!!"

"YESSS!!!!"

The voice of the audience started to shake the venue.
