In the next few days, the Pingze family was friendly with their younger brothers and the atmosphere was full of vitality, with all things flourishing.
Without the disturbance of her sisters, Gabriel also returned to heaven, and Hirasawa Makoto devoted himself to training to prepare for the next audition.
In addition to the band, I also take on commissions and fight monsters!
After Gabriel left, there was no angel to back him up, so Hirasawa Makoto chose a very safe way to fight -
Firepower coverage!
Most evil spirits have human form, and the scope of [Human Immobilization], "humanoid creatures", happens to include evil spirits.
A combo of [Human Immobilization] and [Magic Missile] that has no defeat!
In addition to Yotsuya Miko who helped him out of friendship, Hirasawa Makoto also got to know many new clients, including some generous wealthy ladies and young men, which allowed him to make tens of millions more progress on the road to becoming a "500 million yen" immortal.
But the price is - the consumed magic slots increase exponentially!
Being too far from Azusa's home and too close to STARRY, Hirasawa Makoto cannot run to Azusa every day to replenish his energy, so he chooses to extend his tangible big hand to his band members.
On this day, in the Starry Performance Hall, in the practice room.
"Mr. Cheng..."
Hong Xia bit her teeth lightly. Her pink earlobes and swaying hair revealed the shyness of a young girl, but her tone sounded somewhat helpless.
"I've been replenishing my mana quite frequently lately."
This is a livehouse, not a lovehouse!
"And Liang, you're bought off by a caramel pudding?!!"
Goto Ichiri, who was silently taking off his shoes, was so frightened that he trembled all over. He didn't know whether to take them off or put them on.
[Today's first ring magic ring replenishment: sniff the girls' lunch boxes or armpits for three seconds (cannot be stacked for a single person)]
Hirasawa Makoto clasped his hands together and said, "Please, everyone. I have obsessive-compulsive disorder. If my spell slots are not full, I will feel uncomfortable all over."
Grooved butter, specializing in the lower three routes!
Forget it...
It's called butter, so why not go with it?
Xieliang had taken off one of his loafers, and his toes wrapped in black tights were exposed to the air. At this moment, he was eating pudding with big mouthfuls.
Kita had already put on her shoes as if nothing had happened, and even the socially anxious girl had taken off half of her shoes.
Looking around, everyone had already adapted to his request for mana replenishment. Hong Xia, who was sitting in front of the drum set, stepped on the hi-hat helplessly:
"Are you exactly four spell slots short of filling up, Makoto-kun?"
As the number of magic replenishments increased, Hirasawa Makoto also revealed a few things about spell slots to the girls.
Seeing him nod, Hong Xia bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, put down the drumsticks, and reached out to untie her shoelaces.
In fact, compared to the previous mana replenishment requirements, this one is not so shameful -
Just because the audition was only a few hours away, Hongxia started playing drums after breakfast and had been practicing for several hours.
Unlike other girls, the drummer had to keep playing the bass drum and hi-hat. The girl was afraid that there might be a strange smell...
After a while.
Xieliang suddenly said:
"Weirdo number two! How do you feel now? How do you feel about your teeth?!"
Hirasawa Makoto gave a thumbs up: "Great, very great!"
As expected of a beautiful girl, there is no strange smell, only the clean smell of laundry detergent on her socks.
"abnormal!"
Suddenly there was such a brief episode, and the uneasy feeling before going on stage seemed to be alleviated a little.
After rehearsing a few more times, the store manager Xingge pushed the door open and walked in:
"Pack up your equipment and get ready to go on stage."
After leaving a brief sentence, she crossed her arms and turned around slowly.
"…PA and I will review it with the most stringent attitude."
The world-weary face, the cold tone, and the last harsh words made the atmosphere tense again.
Everyone was speechless as they packed up their cables and pedal boards and began to carry them to the stage.
The bright white spotlight shone down from above, and the music score that I knew by heart seemed to become blank under this light. The slight background noise was amplified, and just by accidentally brushing the strings, a loud noise would be heard.
Below the stage, the store manager Xingge and the PA lady, with their arms folded across their chests, had already moved the round table over and were sitting in the center like judges.
Except for the stage, all the lights were turned off. In the dim darkness, it seemed as if countless audiences were looking at them.
Kita, who made her debut on stage, undoubtedly had the biggest reaction.
Returning to the rehearsal room for the last time, she gently pulled Hirasawa Makoto's sleeve:
"Hirasawa-san, I want to ask you a favor..."
Volume 1: Chapter 134: Marshal Liang, Huanggutun is ahead
Kita got stage fright.
As a "beginner" in electric guitar and the lead singer standing in the center and front of the stage, even though he is a live performer, his arms are shaking slightly with nervousness.
"Kita-san, would you like me to use the [Blessing Technique] to help you?"
"That's right," the red-haired girl looked anxious, and couldn't help looking back at the stage. She held Hirasawa Makoto's hand, and beads of sweat appeared on her palm. "I'm really afraid of messing up everyone's first performance..."
"Whether it's a muted note or a barre, I, I feel like I'm going to play it wrong! Hirasawa-san, please help me!"
Although [Blessing] cannot relieve tension, the blessing of luck undoubtedly makes the complicated performance unexpectedly smooth.
only……
Can success that relies on external forces still be considered one’s own success?
Seeing that Hirasawa Makoto was still a little hesitant, Kita continued to speak in a pleading manner:
"Please, let me help Hirasawa-san with his magic as many times as you want!"
"I'm not worried about not having enough magic. Don't worry, Kita."
Hirasawa Makoto sighed inwardly, hoping that the external force at this moment would not make Kita dependent.
Bursts of light emanated from his fingertips and then penetrated into Kita's fair and tender skin.
"That's fine, let's go on stage."
"it is good!"
With the blessing of [Blessing], the weakest link of the band was filled.
Although Xiaoshei was also extremely nervous, her strong finger function allowed her to play the entire song even with her eyes closed and using muscle memory.
Hong Xia, who had been practicing since childhood, tried her best to play every delicate rhythm of 8 in front and 16 in the back. Yamada Ryo, who had a foundation in previous band performances, followed the bend and tremolo of the lead guitar. Hirasawa Makoto also played every arpeggio well, paving the way for the vocals before the chorus.
Accompanied by the howling of the pickup and the cabinet, an exciting song was played to the end.
Pa pa pa pa——
Ms. PA is a gentle older sister with long black straight hair. Compared with the arrogant store manager, she has a broad mind in a double sense and gave applause without hesitation:
"Excellent! In my career, you are one of the best people of your age who made their debut on stage."
"Really?!!"
Hongxia was extremely surprised and immediately looked at her sister, the store manager. Even Yamada Ryo raised his head quietly.
The store manager, with his arms crossed, was being stared at by everyone. The gazes coming from all directions made Xingge almost unable to suppress his world-weary expression.
"The first and third notes of the lead guitar are still not clear enough, the bass beats the beat several times, and the drum rhythm is a bit messy in the second chorus..."
The arrogant store manager first explained the problem in detail, until the girl who was named lowered her head in disappointment, then she suddenly came to her senses and told him the final result.
"Well... it's not bad... By the way, you guys should discuss the ticket allocation. The 40 tickets can be divided among yourselves."
Eh eh eh?
Seeing the surprised faces of the boys and girls on the stage, Manager Xingge opened her mouth to explain, but her tsundere personality prompted her to touch Miss PA under the table, motioning for her help.
puff-
Miss PA couldn't help laughing and said loudly:
"The arrogant store manager wants to say that you have passed the test, and now you can sell tickets and prepare for your first official performance on stage!"
………………
Eight Scenic Spots of Kanazawa.
This slightly secluded and old riverside street in Yokohama is somewhat different from its former tranquility and peace.
The crystal clear river surface becomes sparkling as the dusk gradually darkens. Under the hazy and soft warm yellow hue, a large number of vendors have already made preparations to welcome the fireworks display.
The river bank was already occupied by girls in kimonos sitting in groups of three or four for viewing the fireworks. The breeze took away the last bit of heat from the summer sun and blended into the festive atmosphere.
Summer Festival.
For couples, it was a day worth playing and celebrating, but for Makoto Hirasawa, who was ending his band, especially dragging a camper truck full of equipment, it was pure torture.
“Why don’t you allow vehicles to pass?”
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Hirasawa Makoto muttered softly.
I glanced at the warning sign with "Traffic Regulations" printed on it, then looked up at the small bridge in the distance where the roadshow was planned, and a feeling of powerlessness came over me.
Even if you are strong, you can't walk all the way from the tram station to here, dragging the entire band's equipment and carrying a keyboard weighing more than 30 kilograms on your back!
Hong Xia, who was standing beside him, stretched out her white arms and grabbed one end of the handle of the camping vehicle:
"Come on Makoto-kun, the last leg of the journey is to sell tickets for the band!"
At critical moments, Hongxia Mama is still the most reliable.
Another girl from Yangjiao, Kita, had already run to the bridge and started taking selfies!
As for social phobia and being a bit cool... just don't cause more trouble.
Hirasawa Makoto nodded gratefully:
"Hongxia is great, no need to say more."
But having said that, why does it feel like the camper van behind me is getting heavier?
Is it because it's uphill?
His steps became heavier and slower, and Hirasawa Makoto couldn't help but look back.
"..."
Three bass guitars and a trumpet cabinet were pushed to one side. The girl with short blue hair curled up in the camp car, squinting her eyes comfortably while resting her head on Hong Xia's mute drum pad.
A pink wild hammer snake lies in his arms, and the yellow and blue candy hair accessories reveal traces of a socially anxious girl.
As if sensing Ping Ze Cheng's resentful gaze, Xie Liang opened his bright golden eyes and yawned nonchalantly:
"Not here yet?"
"Marshal Liang, Huanggutun is ahead!"
Xieliang spoke word by word as he was pulled up from the camping vehicle by two people full of resentment. The pink Nodame snake in his arms fell to the ground and turned into a pink-haired girl.
After a lecture, Xieliang dragged the camp car alone, wiping his eyes and tears with a handkerchief.
"That's how you treat the band's soul bassist!"
Putting aside the fact that you just treated me as a rickshaw driver, the bassist's job in the band is to provide cables for guitars that forget to bring their connecting cables and to help everyone carry takeout!
Hirasawa Makoto complained inwardly and turned to look at Goto Ichiri who was hiding in the shadows of him and Nijixia.
"Goto-san, is the road show later okay?"
The bustling crowd successfully triggered her social phobia. Goto Ichiri turned pale and forced a smile:
"Ah, it should be fine... probably."
