Now that the band is officially formed, Lilisa works hard to improve her guitar playing skills while continuing her work towards becoming a Noble Maiden. She manages to meet one by chance.
At last, the band is now complete, but Shiraya is still not satisfied with Lilisa’s guitar playing. She still thinks that Lilisa’s playing is not up to snuff. She eventually showed how it’s done. Also, Otoha seems happy that Tina kept her promise, as Shiraya scolds Lilisa for her playing. That is when Otoha asks about Tina’s playing to Shiraya as she gets annoyed, although she thinks Tina has enough to avoid death.
Tina, of course, is happy to know that Shiraya is a kind person, which surprises her, as she had denied it. That is when Otoha reveals Shiraya’s secret: she enjoys the pleasure of being abused by Otoha, which is not too surprising. Yep, she was in denial after Otoha revealed that. That is while Alice is looking at her older sister, as she has never seen her older sister happy or why they decided to form a band.
The next day, Lilisa does her Student Council duties. She works extremely hard to impress Fujimurasaki by preparing a large amount of paperwork for the upcoming events and also undertaking additional planning. After all, she is the closest to what a Noble Maiden is. While she is impressed, she doesn’t like how Lilisa interrupted during tea time to do this.
With Lilisa tired and having to do a lot of things in one week, she runs into a lady asking for directions. Believe it or not, it’s Takayanagi Yayoi, and she is the Noble Maiden who played the harp. She knows that Lilisa plays the electric guitar. It’s funny how Lilisa denies this, although Yayoi is not buying it at all.
After Lilisa showed her around the school, including the new music room, Lilisa found out that Yayoi played the harp after school and that she forgot her parent’s deadline. Lilisa seems worried that Yayoi will make the principal, but of course, she would rather do something in the current moment than neglect it.
Eventually, they arrived at the principal’s office, and she wasn’t happy that Yayoi was half an hour late. Of course, the principal knows her nature. The principal knows that Lilisa is aiming to become a noble maiden and suggests asking Yayoi for advice, as she is sociable, skilled in the arts, and dedicated to her family.
Of course, when Lilisa asks Yayoi about what she did to become a Noble Maiden, well, it all has to do with money. Her family donated money to build the new schoolhouse. Yep, Lilisa is surprised as she thinks that it is cheating and there is no clear advice to become one. However, she promises to keep Lilisa’s guitar playing a secret and that she should play it in “moderation.” She mentioned that she gave up playing the harp since her parents said it was not necessary, so she quit. Yes, the same will happen to Lilisa if her mother finds out. After all, her mother doesn’t want her daughter to play guitar. Additionally, Yayoi doesn’t think the guitar is necessary in high society, compared to instruments like the violin, piano, or flute. Yep, Lilisa is going to have a hard time becoming a Noble Lady by playing guitar.
When Lilisa went into the music room, she was soaking wet, and she felt annoyed at Yayoi. After all, Yayoi doesn’t understand how Lilisa feels, thinking the guitar playing is for fun. After all, Yayoi has the privilege of coming from a wealthy family. On the other hand, Lilisa has to give up all the things that are not considered high class to get where she is. Also, the guitar is everything to her, like Yayoi’s harp playing, but of course, it’s not high-class enough. She wanted to flip her off, but she couldn’t.
With that, the live house invited Otoha’s band for some reason. Some people want them to perform again as they become viral on social media. It makes you wonder, will they take up the offer? We’ll see next time.
