Tokyo Girlfriend Guide

Michiru Hyodo had already developed a great resistance to her cousin's shamelessness. Upon hearing this, she resisted the urge to complain and reached out to snatch Hojo-san's phone.

"Hey, Mei, what are you doing? I was just about to ask Hojo-kun how to sing this song. Our baseball team should be the first to learn this song!"

Ryota Tsuchiya shouted and reached out to grab it.

“Bang—bang—!”

After being hit in the stomach by an elbow, Tsuchiya Ryota fell to the ground, and he finally recalled the fear of being dominated by his cousin. Hyodo Michiru had developed motor nerves since she was a child, and women develop early, so it can be said that these relatives were beaten by Michiru since they were young.

This situation eased as they grew older, but it wasn't because Michiru became a lady, but because everyone was smart enough to no longer gather at their hometown to celebrate the holidays.

Hojo Kyosuke wanted to reach out and pull up the loyal Tsuchiya-sama, but he gave up the idea after seeing his dirty hands and sweaty clothes. But then he was startled.

Oh no, isn’t my phone dirty too! ?
When he turned around, he saw Michiru Hyodo wiping his phone with a piece of yellow floral pattern. Her movements were very light and gentle.

Phew——It’s okay, it’s okay.

Even though he had been in this smelly and sweaty sports club for a long time, Hojo Kyosuke still found it difficult to adapt to this environment. Even the people in the kendo club were forced to pay attention to hygiene. They would always take a shower as soon as possible after training, and they would never hide their kendo uniforms and protective gear to be washed "later".

After all, if you accidentally smoke your older brother who is a mysophobe and petty-minded, you will definitely feel the fear that only the enemy can enjoy during sparring.

Michiru Hyodo looked at the towel that had turned dark, but there was no look of disgust on her face. After all, the basketball club and volleyball club she had joined before were both sports clubs, and the amount of sweat she made was no less than that of baseball players, but it was still a little cleaner.

However, Himekawa Tokino and Morioka Aiko were horrified when they saw the dirty hand towel. A lady can rock out with a guitar, but she will never roll on the floor.

Seeing her friend's reaction, Michiru Hyodo, who was originally planning to fold the towel and put it in her pocket, immediately threw the towel at Himekawa Tokino's head with a wicked smile.

“Ah~Ah——!!”

Curly-haired girl immediately screamed and dodged, and the towel immediately hit the face of Mizuhara Eika next to her. The dark color made the little girl almost suffocate, and she also screamed and dodged. Morioka Aiko, who was at the back, looked at it expressionlessly, watching the dirty towel fall in front of her under the action of gravity.

"Hazardous waste cannot be thrown anywhere, Xiaomei!" said Aiko Morioka seriously.

"..."

Tsuchiya Ryota, who had already climbed up, looked at the scene speechlessly and complained unhappily:

"That's the special soil for the baseball field that I applied for from the school with great difficulty. It's very valuable!"

Then there was the first part where they asked, "Do you know how many people want to drive an excavator to Koshien to dig up soil and bring it home?"

Now it was Hojo Kyosuke's turn to be speechless. Ryota Tsuchiya didn't care about girls' dislike for him at all. He was just unhappy because his beloved court soil was disliked. This guy should never get married in this life, right?
Michiru Hyodo and the others were thinking about Hojo Kyosuke's masterpiece, so after playing around for a while, they gathered together to look at the music score.

“Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah~Ah~”

The girl opened her lips slightly and began to sing according to the music score. Musical geniuses are different. They easily grasped the key points and focused the ears of several listeners. This kind of singing without lyrics and music is the most challenging for the singer's singing skills and voice, but Michiru Hyodo performed very well and created that epic feeling in an instant.

"You are the prey? No, we are the hunters!"

Michiru Hyodo sang softly according to the romanization marked by Hojo Kyosuke. She didn't even need to recite the lyrics again, she just started singing directly.

Although the German intonation was still strange, the pitch became right in an instant, and the rapid chanting instantly captured the hearts of the audience.

"Yes, yes, that's it!"

Tsuchiya Ryota shouted excitedly, and was immediately hit by an elbow. But he could no longer feel the pain, and he was imagining in his mind: every time a game started, everyone in the baseball club would shout these two lyrics together, and then rush up to salute the opponent together.

The scene is so beautiful.

Over there, Michiru Hyodo continued to sing softly, and the more she sang, the more surprise appeared in the girl's eyes.

This song is so great...

Himekawa Tokino and others who were clapping along nearby were also surprised. And unlike Hyodo Michiru and Tsuchiya Ryota, the three of them were serious otakus. Although their areas of cuteness were different, they were all very familiar with the manga "Attack on Titan", so they were even more surprised.

Hojo-sensei has even come up with a theme song for the animation, doesn't that mean the animation will be released soon?
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have asked questions impatiently.

When the last note ended, Michiru Hyodo stared at the screen of her mobile phone in a daze.

"This song..."

Himekawa Tokino blushed and said admiringly: "As expected, this is the song that Hojo-sensei prepared for Attack on Titan. It really fits the song very well!"

"Attack on Titan?" Michiru Hyodo asked in confusion.

"It's a comic that Hojo-sensei is serializing. It's about a man-eating giant and..."

Morioka Aiko immediately started talking a lot, and the two girls next to her added to her remarks from time to time.

“…So it’s a comic book.”

Michiru Hyodo suddenly realized, but her perfunctory tone made her three companions furious.

“That’s not just any comic!”

"Yes, it was created by Hojo-sensei!"

“Very, very good comics!”

Morioka Aiko and the other two spoke one by one.

"..."

Listening to her friends' words, Michiru Hyodo's expression suddenly became a little strange.

"Let's not talk about what kind of comic "Attack on Titan" is. What I'm curious about is, Xiao Xiao, Aiko, and Eichika, when did you become so knowledgeable about comics?" she asked puzzledly.

The indignant expressions on the faces of the three people who were named immediately froze.

Himekawa Tokino scratched the back of her head, looking like a confused beautiful girl, and said guiltily: "Ha, hahahaha... I don't really understand it, it's just..."

Mizuhara Eiji looked as panicked as if he had been caught as a thief.

"It's just that! Because I learned from you, Komei, that the team we're going to support includes a famous person named Hojo-kun, so I know a little more!"

Morioka Aiko said calmly, and then criticized:

"Xiao Mei, you didn't know how to collect intelligence before? This is very rude!"

After hearing this, Himekawa Tokino immediately looked at Morioka Aiko with admiration, thinking that Aiko was the most reliable and was actually turning the tables on her.

"Oh...hahahaha, I remember now, I remember now, I knew that before too!"

Michiru Hyodo laughed guiltily. She remembered that last time Alan told her a lot about Hojo Kyosuke, and the two comics he talked about the most were "Attack on Titan" and the other one seemed to be called "Bald Superman"?
“What a great song.”

The girl exclaimed that if the author hadn't come forward to testify, she would never have believed that this was a song from an animation. She would have definitely suspected that it was the work of a famous singer.

"Yeah, that's right!"

Himekawa Tokino wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.

Hojo Kyosuke took in everyone's reactions and looked with amusement at the four-member band who were also feeling guilty.

So this is another hidden otaku scene? Like Eriri?
The four-member girl band instantly changed in his eyes. The previously victorious Himekawa Tokino, Mizuhara Eijika and Morioka Aiko had turned into recluses, while Hyodo Michiru was completely enveloped in the recluse spirit without even realizing it.

"No, that's not the case..."

Tsuchiya Ryota next to him howled like a defeated dog. He was determined to be loyal to Mr. Ticket, so he was familiar with his works. He could recite all the comics and novels by heart, but he could always quote from them. But he didn't want to believe that such a war song was not created for the baseball club.

No, don’t!
Naturally, no one paid any attention to the loyal Tugu Qing.

Michiru Hyodo didn't say anything nonsense like "Did you really write this song, Hojo-kun?" Although they had only known each other for a short afternoon, the image of Hojo Kyosuke in her mind was already quite decent.

A genius, a genius in every sense of the word. Just like what Ryota and Alan said, a genius who makes himself a genius ashamed. Humble and gentle, he can forgive even the most unkind enemies. He is approachable and easy to get along with, and is deeply loved by his subordinates. He is loyal to love, and even in front of a beautiful woman like himself, he does not hesitate to say sweet words to his girlfriend, which is really enviable. There are many other feelings that cannot be expressed in words. In short, he is a very trustworthy man.

Besides, even without mentioning his own character, how could a big shot like Hojo Kyosuke, who has a huge reputation in society, say such big words?

The genius girl Michiru just looked at the music sheet with some pity and said regretfully:

"It's a really good song. It's not only suitable for your comic, Hojo, but it can also be used as a cheering song with a little adaptation. It would be very inspiring to play such a piece of music in the stadium. But if I were to sing it, I'm not sure if I can handle it. Such a song would be more powerful if sung by a man..."

When she said this, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said excitedly:
"How about you sing it yourself, Hojo? We can accompany you, and I can also ask the school's wind band to come over for other instruments."

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Someone who was enjoying the flattery of the beautiful girl almost choked on his saliva.

Tsuchiya Ryota, who was standing by, ignored his sadness and rushed to the rescue. He criticized sternly:

"Hojo has to put all his energy into training, so he doesn't have time to sing. Xiaomei, please stop giving orders!"

With his emotional intelligence, how could he possibly expose the fact that Mr. Ticket Master is tone-deaf again?

"Actually, I think you sing pretty well, Michiru."

A crisp voice suddenly sounded.

"Me? Sakura-senpai, can I really do this?"

Michiru Hyodo looked in surprise at Yamauchi Sakura who had approached her at some point.

"Yeah~ There will definitely be no problem. The original author is right here, why don't you ask him?" Sakura nodded happily, smiling like a flower.

I think even your singing, Sakura, sounds good, let alone a professional like Hitoshi Hyōdō.

Thinking of this, Hojo Kyosuke nodded decisively.

Although Michiru Hyodo only sang it once a cappella, and many parts were very different from the original version in her memory, she felt it was really good. It was mainly because she was so talented. This musical genius girl had excellent timbre and singing skills. As soon as she got the sheet music, she didn't understand the background of the creation and didn't understand the lyrics, but she sang out a little bit of the feeling of rebellion under repression and desperate struggle in danger in "Guren no Yumiya".

Honestly, if this song could be played in Allen's ears 24 hours a day, he would probably move on.

In addition, there is one most important reason...

Michiru Hyodo is a genuine super beautiful girl!
Her short purple hair is playful and cute, yet also a bit heroic. She has a cute face and a hot body. She has a great voice and plays the guitar very well. She has all the ingredients for becoming a huge hit.

After following Naoko to many entertainment agencies and talking to their president about Naoko's future development path, Hojo Kyo has a better understanding of the current Japanese entertainment industry. Even the voice actors behind the scenes have to be idolized, so what should the singers who are already standing on the stage do? The answer is "volume". In the past, singing was the focus, but now other conditions such as appearance are on par with singing ability.

He will definitely have to transfer a lot of animations in the future, and it will be much more convenient to have a dedicated singer. But there is no rush to talk about this now, just say "Hyoudou-san, you should be inseparable from the songs I created" later.

So Hojo Kyosuke nodded heavily, looked at Hyodo Michiru's expectant eyes and said seriously:

"Even if I, the creator of the song, were to sing it myself, there's no way I could sing it better than you, Hyodo-san!"

Seeing Hojo Kyosuke's sincerity, Hyodo Michiru was touched and whispered: "Kyosuke..."

"Hahahaha-"

A burst of laughter rang out, and everyone turned to look. It turned out that Yamauchi Sakura was squatting on the ground laughing.

"Sorry, hahaha, I'm fine haha, you guys continue--" Sakura continued to laugh.

"..."

Looking at his cousin's touched face, Ryota Tsuchiya actually wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.

Hojo Kyousuke grabbed Sakura's arm and pulled her up in anger, and said to Hyodo Michiru and the others:
"Perhaps you don't know how good your performance is, Hyodou. Once you listen to this guy sing, you will know why I chose you."

Lord Yingliang raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly:
"I just sing. Some people still think I am the me when I was a kid."

She grabbed the phone and looked at the music sheet.

"Um... Kyousuke?"

"how?"

"What do these lines mean?" (End of this chapter)
