I came across a very funny K-ON fan-fiction the other day when I was searching some other things. I really want to share it with you so I will translate it since it's in Japanese.DISCLAIMER: I haven't created this story.TN: ( ) - brackets introduce thoughts.Sawako: "Listen everyone, a transfer student is going to join this class. Come in.Aki: "H-Hello."Ritsu: (She's so big...)Sawako: "Toyosaki-san, introduce yourself."Toyosaki Aki writes her name on the blackboard.Aki *scribble*Yui: "To... yo... sa... ki... A... i... na... ma... Nice to meet you, Ainama-chan /TN: The name Aki is written 愛生. The first kanji is usually read "ai", meaning love; the second one is more often read "nama", meaning raw, fresh, natural, live (broadcast). Some fans call Toyosaki Aki "Ainama" on purpose, but in Yui's case, it's a mispronunciation.Aki: "It's "Aki". My name is Toyosaki Aki. I hope we will get along well."Sawako: "Alright, Toyosaki-san, your seat will be in the rearmost row. Next to Hirasawa-san."Yui: "It's here, Ainama-chan."Aki: "It's "Aki"."Toyosaki takes the seat.Yui: "Let's get along well, Ainama-chan."During break, the class encompasses Toyosaki and barrage her with questions.Ritsu: "Toyosaki-san, where are you coming from?"Aki: "I'm coming from Tokushima Prefecture."Tsumugi: "When it comes to Tokushima, Bandou Eiji comes to mind, doesn't he?" /TN: Bandou Eiji - Japanese television entertainer and former baseball playerYui: "Your voice is cute, Ainama-chan. Uhehehe"Aki: "I... I don't really like my voice..."Yui: "It's really cute, Ainama-chan."Toyosaki feels embarrassed.Mio: "Yui's voice and Toyosaki-san's voice seem to be similar."Ritsu: "Anyways, Toyosaki-san, what club are you going to join? Come to the Light Music Club. It's fun."Tsumugi: "You will also get to eat some sweets."Mio: "I won't urge you to join, but drop by to check it out, Toyosaki-san."Yui: "Ainama-chan, the Light Music Club is fun. Come loaf around with us."Aki: "Okay, I might go to check the Light Music Club out then."After school, in the clubroom.Ritsu: "Toyosaki-san, welcome."Tsumugi: "Today's snack is madeleine. Have some with us, Toyosaki-san."Azusa: "Hello."Yui: "This is the only second-year student in the Light Music Club, Azunyan."Aki: "Call me Aki. The Light Music Club is quite interesting. Shall I join, I wonder."Ritsu: "Really?! Great! But what are you going to play?"Mio: "Aki, can you play any instrument?"Yui: "Ainama-chan, you'd look great with guitar."Azusa: "But don't you think that having 3 guitarists in the club would be a bit weird?"Aki: "I want to play the guitar!"Mio: "I don't think there's any problem with having 3 guitarists."Tsumugi: "The range of our musical output will expand."Ritsu: "By the way, Aki, do you have a guitar?"Aki: "No, I don't. I'll try asking my dad."Yui: "Fine, all decided. Let's have the sweets now."Azusa: "We should practice..."Several days later.Ritsu: "Aki~, I heard you got a guitar."Aki: "Y-Yeah."Tsumugi: "Did your father buy it for you?"Aki: "Y-Yeah."Mio: "Let's try playing together then, the six of us."Aki: "Y-Yeah."Azusa: "What guitar did you get? Les Paul would be a good match for you I think."Yui: "Show us, show us!"Aki: "..."Toyosaki takes out her guitar from the case.Ritsu: "Eh, that's... that's..."Mio: "That's an acoustic one."Tsumugi: "What does mean acoustic?"Azusa: "Acoustic guitar. Simply put, it's a guitar that doesn't need electricity to play."Yui: "But guitar is still guitar, right?"Azusa: "That's true, but our music and acoustic guitar don't go very well together."Aki: "My dad put his heart into getting it for me."Ritsu: "L-Let's try it together for now, the 6 of us."Mio: "Yeah... let's do that."The entwining sounds from Yui's and Azusa's guitars......obscure Toyosaki's acoustic guitar.Tsumugi: "...Um, Toyosaki-chan, could you stroke the strings a bit stronger?"Toyosaki strokes stronger, stronger, and stronger.Still, Toyosaki is being completely obscured.Everyone: "..."Sawako: "You can pick up the sound of the acoustic guitar by a mike."Ritsu: "You were here?"Mio: "We had this trick up our sleeves..."Waiwai, gyagya, waiwai /TN: Most likely the sounds of playing the instruments.Somehow, they finally enjoy their session and go home.Yui: "I'm home, Ui! Ice-cream!"Ui: "Onee-chan seems to have been a bit out of shape, recently."Several days laterJagaja~nAki: "Yeeah!"Mio: "Aki, you've already gotten used to the Light Music Club, haven't you? You let out a good sound."Tsumugi: "Aki-chan, your skills are great."Azusa: "Aki-senpai, you're amazing. Teach me how to play."Ritsu: "Aki played it well, but you were lacking in power, Yui.Yui: "Eh? You think so...?"Ritsu: "Alright, let's call it a day and go get some ice-cream on our way home!"Everyone: "Yeah!"Yui: "Ah... Um, I've promised Nodoka-chan to go out with her today..."Mio: "In that case, let's bring Nodoka with us-"Aki: "Then let's go the five of us, without Yui-chan!"Everyone: "Yeah!"Yui: "..."The next dayYui: "Sorry I'm late, what do we have for snack today, Mugi?"Tsumugi: "I'm sorry, I only brought five people's portions of snack today and we've already eaten all of it."Ritsu: "It's your own fault since you came late."Azusa: "I'm sorry. I forgot to save some for you."Mio: "There's nothing you can do about it. Fine, let's practice now."Aki: "Today's sweets were delicious!"Yui: "..."Yui: "I can't put any power into it today, because I didn't have my sweets."Ritsu: "Are you a grade schooler?!"Azusa: "Take a rest then, Yui-senpai."Tsumugi: "Giita would suit you, Aki-chan. Would you like to try it out?"Mio: "You should play the electric guitar once in a while, Aki."Yui: "No way! I won't let Giita cheat on me!"Toyosaki forcefully takes Giita away from Yui.Aki (in a low voice): "This guitar will suit me more than it suits you."Mio: "Hmm... Aki, did you say anything?"Aki: "Nothing. Ufufufu."The next dayYui: "I'm late again today. I hope there'll still be some sweets left."*clank*Yui: "Eh? It's locked... Maybe I'm the first one coming... Eh, I can hear something."The other five, excluding Yui, are happily chatting...Yui: "Eh? Why is that...? Open the door! It's me, Yui! Knock, knock!"Ritsu: "Huh? Don't you hear something?"Azusa: "That must be just your imagination."Aki: "It's only some sounds from the outside. Let's practice. If we make a lot of noise, it won't bother us."Yui's voice is being obscured by the practicing band.Nothing changes and Yui leaves the clubroom...Evening, the same dayAt the Hirasawas'*ring ring*Ui: "I'm coming."Yui: "Ui, who is it?"Ui: "It's your classmate, Toyosaki-san."Yui: (Why... Ainama-chan...) "Ui, send her hom..."Aki: "Excuse me! Good evening, Yui-chan."Yui: "Ainama-chan... Why... have you come here...?"Ui: "Please have some tea."Aki: "Don't mind me. You're Yui's little sister Ui-chan, right? You're so cute."Ui: (She seems to resemble Onee-chan)Yui: "Ainama-chan, it's late already. Your father will be worried about you."Aki: "Ui-chan, you're in the second year, aren't you? Have we ever met at school?"Ui: "We've passed by each other at the Light Music Club's clubroom."Yui: "Ainama-chan... If you want to talk about something, let's do it tomorrow at school..."Aki: "You're in the same class as Azusa?! Ahahahaha!"Ui: "Yes, I am. Ahahaha"Yui: "Ui..."Yui: "Ui, I'm going to bed now..."Ui: "Okay, good night. And then, Azusa-chan did, you know... Ahahahaha!"Aki: "Ahahahahaha."The next morningYui: "What?! It's morning?! It's 8 already! I'm going to be late! Ui, why didn't you wake..."No one else is in the Hirasawa residence.Yui: "Eh?! Ui has already left for school?"Yui hurriedly gets herself ready and runs off to school.Yui: "Sawa-cha~n, I'm sorry for being la- Huh?"Sawako: "..."Yui sits on her seat.Yui: "I overslept, Nodoka-chan."Nodoka: "..."Aki: "Nodoka-chan, I did the yesterday's homework."Nodoka: "That's only natural, Aki. You won't ask me to lend you your notes again, will you?"Yui: "..."After schoolYui: "I'll be first in the clubroom today. I wonder what sweets Mugi brings today."Ritsu: *sigh* "School is over! Huh?"Yui: "Ricchan, I wonder what sweets we'll have today."Ritsu: "You are Hirasawa-san from my class, right? What are you doing in the clubroom?"Yui: "Eh... Ricchan..."Ritsu: "Huh... Ricchan you say... Have we been this close?"Mio: "Ah... Hirasawa-san, did you come to check out the Light Music Club?"Tsumugi: "I'm sorry. I haven't brought any sweets for visitors."Aki: "Hirasawa-san, if you don't have any business with us, then leave."Yui: "Huh... Eh... Ainama-chan, why do you have Giita...?"Ritsu: "Why you ask, that's because it's Aki's guitar."Mio: "The all of us were there when she bought it."Tsumugi: "I haggled the price down."Azusa: "I didn't know there was such a story behind Giita."Aki: "I love you, Giita! Smooch!"Yui: "Eh... How come..."Aki: "Hirasawa-san, we're going to practice now so could you get lost already?"Mio: "Sorry, we have to practice for the upcoming school festival."Yui leaves the clubroom behind her back without uttering a word.Yui goes back home alone.Yui: "What's gotten into them? Ever since Ainama-chan joined the Light Music Club, something has been strange..."Yui arrives home.She takes out her key to open the door.Yui: "Huh? It doesn't fit in. I'll have Ui open the door for me.*dingdong*Ui: "I'm coming!"Yui: "Ui, open the door!"Ui: "Who are you?"Yui: "Stop joking around! Open the door, Ui!"Ui: "Is it a prank? I will call the police."Yui: "What's wrong? It's your sister here."At that time, a figure appears behind Yui's back...Aki: "Um, what are you doing at my house?"Yui: "Ainama-chan, why are you coming to my..."Aki: "This is my home. If you bother us, I'll call the police."Aki pulls out her cellphone.Yui, having no other choice, takes her leave, almost running.Yui: "Why...? I don't have a clue what's going on any more."A puppy comes to Yui, who is crying all alone in the night park, as if going to comfort her.Yui: "You're cute, come here, doggie."The puppy slips Yui's hand.Yui: "Huh? Are you afraid of me?"Yui tries to catch the puppy.Yui: "Eh? I can't catch it... How come...?"Yui looks at her hands.Yui: "What...? I can see through them... Why... Am I going to disappear?"A few days later in the classroomSawako: "Toyosaki-san is absent again. Eh, what was that girl like?"Ritsu: "Was there really any girl this name in our class? Are you sure it's not your foolish fantasy, Sawa-chan?"Mio: "There seems to be something I can't remember..."Yui: "Anyway, Sawa-chan, begin the class already. Hihi."Sawako: "Right. But first, we're getting a transfer student today. Come in."Satomi: "My name is Satou Satomi. I'm coming from Miyagi Prefecture. Glad to meet you."Ritsu: "Hi there!"Satomi: (So it's this one now...)ENDI hope you enjoyed this short story and had fun reading it.
