Lady and I were sent out to prepare for the graduation ceremony. Her job was to play the piano and I was tasked all the odd jobs. This came from the kindness in Sensei’s heart, so I was certain she had chosen me because I looked like I didn’t have anything to do. It was true I could ignore classes and exams since I was in the Chancellor’s Officers, but we were past the exams now.

Anyway, after helping line up the chairs, I approached Lady who was supposed to be playing a piano version of the Tokyo Ondo. Instead, I found the piano had grown a pair of butts. ''This is the discovery of the century,'' I thought before realizing the butts belonged to Lady and Sensei. They had opened the piano’s lid and were tuning it. I peeked at their work from above.

“Won’t you just make it worse if you don’t know what you’re doing?”

“We’re not tuning it. The notes weren’t playing right, so we took a look inside.” Lady turned around with dust on her face. “The notes are wandering around inside the piano and never coming out.”

Sensei’s head shot up while she peered inside with a tuning fork in one hand.

“Ah! Th-they’re escaping over- kyah!”

The lid crashed down on her head. She held her head and I stopped the lid so it wouldn’t fall further with its head-shaped support removed. I saw Lady pursuing something, but I held out a hand to stop her.

“You’ll never catch them. They’ll be back by the ceremony anyway.”

“How can you know that? What are they anyway?”

I explained it to quizzical Lady and tearful Sensei.

“Just like us humans, the piano music wants a break after the exams. The piano was used for the music exams, right? It’s taking a break until we actually need it again.”

They don’t really need to do what Sensei says, so maybe they just wanted to take part in the event.

Sensei can only tell Lady and Me what to do since they’re in her class.
