[Written in a frenzy after watching Season 3 of Sound! Euphonium] [In tribute to the legendary club president Kumiko Oumae! The solo should have been hers!]
Asahi Haruyu came to the concert band at Hyotei High School to make her youth a little more meaningful.
Everything about the school was great, except for its terrible luck. Not only had the powerful tennis team fallen amid the fierce competition at the national tournament, but the concert band, which had always vowed to "win gold at nationals," had been forced to lower its goal to "just make it to nationals."
She still took on this thankless task.
"Haruyu, thank you for helping me rediscover how much I love music!"
"I'm so, so happy to make music with you and everyone else."
"Haruyu, please take over as president of the concert band. We all feel the same way."
"President Asahi, lead us to gold at nationals!"
Our youth will be without regrets.
Because
"The winner will always be Hyotei!"
Reader's guide:
1. An old-school crossover with a universally adored female lead and many one-sided crushes. Absolutely no angst.
2. The focus is on friendship and school life. The pairing hasn't been decided, so feel free to place your bets, but romance will play a smaller role.
3. The timeline starts with the high school arc of The Prince of Tennis, while Sound! Euphonium runs a year behind Kumiko. The plot has been changed, and characters may be out of character.
Theme: The song of youth never ends!
