Yukimura called the other members of rikkaidai.
"Why did you call us?" Marui asked curiously. It's rare for Yukimura to call them that late.
"It's about the new singer we need." Yanagi informed the other members.
Yukimura just smiled as always. 'As expected' thought Yukimura. "It's about the singer" Yukimura told them.
"We found one" Kirihara continued happily. It's almost the start of the auditions and they still haven't found any good singer so who wouldn't be?
"Is he good?" Niou asked Yukimura.
Yukimura chuckled. "Rather than he, it should be she and yes. She's good." Yukimura told them.
"Who's she?" Yagyuu asked. He's really curious because almost all girls in the academy suck at singing.
Yukimura thought for a moment. "How about, all of you try guessing who this girl is?" Yukimura said. He played the video only letting them hear the sounds.
"She's good" Yanagi stated.
"Who do you think is she?" Yukimura asked them. He wants to know if someone will be able to guess right.
"I don't know" Marui told them. He really doesn't know anyone who sings that well.
The other members also didn't know.
'I know the ability of the girl in here when it comes to singing except... Except transfer student. can she be, Arashimaya?' Yanagi thought
The other members agreed that it's most likely not Arashimaya Ryoma.
'As expected' Yukimura thought inwardly. "Then, you're… wrong." Yukimura showed then the video. They really can't believe that the nerd sings that well. They all agreed that she's the one who should become their singer. The next day, the members somehow managed to convince Ryoma to come with them.
"We would like you to join our band" Marui told Ryoma.
Ryoma just stared at Marui with the same bored look but the truth is she's really nervous. She doesn't know what to say. "… No" Ryoma managed to tell them that as dull as possible.
"Would you just please at least think about it, Arashimaya Ryoma-san?" Yukimura told Ryoma.
Ryoma suddenly remembered. 'How did they know I know how to sing?' Ryoma asked herself. It suddenly hit Ryoma. They must be watching her yesterday. "I'll become a member of your band if you promise not to tell anyone about my secret" Ryoma told them.
"But how are you going to sing in front of people without them knowing your real self?" Niou asked.
"Then, I'll just cross-dress." Ryoma said. She really won't let this ruin her wish to have a peaceful school year as Ryoma. "I'll be Ryoga."
The next day, Ryoma went to the big tree and the rikkaidai member were there, much to her annoyance. She just sat there quietly.
"You're a new student so you probably don't know about the competition" Yagyuu told Ryoma. She just looked at him so he continued. "Every band here competes. We already registered so you have to learn these songs." He gave him music sheets.
"We'll play 'Bright down' for the elimination round." Niou informed.
"See you tomorrow, Arashimaya-san. We'll have a practice on Sunday." Yukimura told her.
Ryoma went to her room without saying anything. She grabbed her guitar and started practicing. After a few tries, she stopped and went to the Eastern City where students can buy the things they needed but of course it's still inside the campus. She bought a wig and some boys' clothes. She went back to her room and drifted to sleep.

Author's note: I'm sure it's too OOC. Sorry about that. I really have many things to do so it took time to write this chapter. Please forgive me. Anyway, I don't know if you notice but Ryoma rarely spoke to the rikkaidai members. I purposely changed her attitude towards the people she barely know and people close to her just to show how much she changed. I changed some parts. Thank you, ChocoholicAddict22 for telling me my mistakes and mangopudding thank you for letting me see that mistake.I used Echizen rather than Arashimaya but it was just a mistake. Yukimura still doesn't know Ryoma's real identity.
