After walking down the somewhat scary basement stairs, we entered the equally dim and low-pressure exhibition hall.

What came was the voice of an angel!

Hong Xia: "Good evening, Luo Zhenjun~! ...Wow, Miss Taoxiang is really here! Hello, hello, I'm your fan~! (??>?<?)"

In Luo Zhen's heart, he has secretly called Hong Xia the archangel of Shimokitazawa.

She immediately ran over with a bright smile and greeted Momoka and Nina, who Luo Zhen had brought with him.

Yamada Ryoya leaned on the counter and waved his hand towards Luo Zhen.

The two of them blinked in tacit understanding.

Luo Zhen had already sent them text messages in advance, asking them to keep it a secret in front of Taoxiang and not to tell them that he was learning bass.

Luo Zhen took the opportunity to introduce Taoxiang:

"These two are Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo. They have a band too, what's their name...?"

Yamada Ryo: “It’s called the Ending Band (laughs).”

Liang burst out laughing, making Hongxia blush.

The "end" here does not mean the literal end, but rather the meaning of tying, binding, and close unity.

This name really fits Hong Xia's sunny and cute personality, which makes Luo Zhen feel cute.

Then, Luo Zhen took the two of them to greet the boss:

"This is Ijichi Hoshika, the owner of this livehouse. The beautiful lady with long black hair next to you is the sound engineer, PA-san... By the way, PA-san, what's your name?"

PA-san: "Huhuhuhu? Xiao Zhenzhen, have you ever heard of the saying, 'Secrets make a woman more feminine'?"

This mysterious beauty not only wears ear clips, ear bridges, and lip studs on her lower lip... When she speaks, you can even see the tongue stud on her tongue.

Luo Zhen was very curious. Wouldn't it hurt for her to have so many holes in her body?

And it's incredible, this punk look brings a dangerous temptation that makes people feel super exciting.

Luo Zhen was also very curious, wondering if there were other "decorations" on her body that were invisible...

Luo Zhen, who was still a pure love warrior at the moment, tried hard to restrain the impulsive desires aroused by her, and used the peach fragrance in his mind to hedge...

Oh no, Taoxiang is too slutty. It would be fun to cuckold her. I'd better use my own twin little devil girlfriend.

Rencai, who was visiting such a place for the first time, hid behind Luo Zhen like a little animal, not daring to look at the imposing Xingge and PA-san.

In the worldview of a good girl like her, this is a real devil's den.

But of course, Sister Xingge and the others are all good people.

Xingge looked straight at Taoxiang, his lazy expression becoming serious for once:

"Hello. I took my sister to see Diamond Stardust's performance before, it was great. Miss Momoka, are you planning to start a band again?"

"Ahaha, how should I put it... You can't just form a group if you want to, right? Things like this also depend on fate."

Taoxiang gave a half-hearted smile, feeling a little timid in front of Xingge, a senior who was older than her.

After all, this circle is so small, so it’s normal for the owner of LiveHouse to know her.

But Taoxiang is still in a low period. Mentioning the past will only make her feel ashamed and her mood is very complicated.

“…That’s right.”

Fortunately, Sister Xingge was also very experienced. When she found out that Taoxiang didn’t want to talk more, she immediately skipped the topic.

She said generously, "It's rare to have professional players come to play, so I'll pay for the tickets. Luo Zhen, you should treat them well. Remember to consider my place first when you need a place to play next time."

Luo Zhen: "Thank you, Sister Xingge. Sister Xingge is the best and most beautiful."

Hmm~

Xingge didn't react on the surface to Luo Zhen's heavy praise, but the ahoge floating on his head was actually spinning around, and he looked quite pleased.

Then with Xingge's permission, Luo Zhen could entertain them for free.

When I was explaining science to Rencai, who was visiting a place like this for the first time, Hongxia, who was about the same age, came over and said:

"Hey, Niina-chan, you're a fan of Momoka-san, right?"

"So, do you have any other favorite members in Diamond Stardust? Their drummer, Miss Ai, is amazing. She plays the drums with such a cute face. I really admire her! I heard they just chose a new lead singer and are planning a performance..."

Nina: "Ah, sorry, I was Momoka-san's solo push. After she left the team, I stopped paying attention to the diamond group. I have no interest."

Ah... Hongxia blinked while trying to start a conversation, and quietly hid the phone she had just taken out.

It is indeed not a good idea to talk about their old team in front of former members who have gone solo.

Luo Zhen helped Yamada Ryo serve tea and water, and also massaged her shoulders and legs under the suspicious gazes of Taoxiang and the others. He did his job very well.

He casually asked, "Hongxia, are you guys practicing well?"

"You guys are going to perform tomorrow, right? There should be a guitar vocalist coming too? He's also a student of Xiujin, right?"

"——That's it, Master Luo! Listen to me!"

Hong Xia's attention was immediately drawn, and she came to Luo Zhen to complain:

"Our lead singer hasn't even come to practice once! She always gets into trouble. Yesterday, our dog got sick and went to the hospital, and she had to stay with him all night! It's so pitiful!"

Hongxia took out her cell phone and showed him the chat history between her and the lead singer.

Judging from the texts exchanged and the emoticons used, the lead singer of the other party should also be a very sociable Yangjiao live-action, and it can be seen between the lines that she is a good girl.

But she would find different excuses every day when she trained.

Although he apologized profusely and visibly, he never came once.

This has actually fallen through... It's hard to say for sure.

Hongxia is a good child and is still willing to believe that the other party will come.

But Yamada Ryo, who was being served by Luo Zhen, was very straightforward:

"Even if that kid really shows up tomorrow, we're probably doomed if we haven't practiced together once."

"We'll die suddenly, get pelted with rotten eggs from the audience. We've never ended a band before, and it'll just end... Pfft~(?ω?)"

Ms. Yamada seemed to be amused by her own joke and was shaking with her hands covering her mouth.

Of course Hongxia didn't want this to happen. She angrily hit Yamada Ryo and the two girls started fighting.

......So, it was Luo Zhen's turn to take action.

He casually mentioned:

"Then how about letting Momoka give it a try? It's just a quick practice session to warm up your hands."

“[——Huh?”

Everyone present was shocked.

Luo Zhen deliberately asked Taoxiang to bring a guitar just for this matter.

Although it is unlikely that Momoka will actually join the Ending Band, after all, it is difficult for her and the high school girl to have the same schedules and different goals.

But even if it was just practicing together to let her relive the feeling of being in a band, Luo Zhen felt it was a great motivation.

There is no way Momoka would give up music, so Luo Zhen wants her passion to reignite.

"Luo Zhen, you plotted against me..."

Taoxiang, of course, also realized the plans of her younger lover, and pouted a little angrily.

...But she couldn't deny it, because she also felt Luo Zhen's concern for her, which made her secretly happy like a fool.

If there weren't so many strangers present, Taoxiang would have wanted to push him to the ground and start training right away like the first time!

Rock women are so bold that they give up after the first time.

After realizing what was happening, Hong Xia's eyes lit up:

"I can play with Momoka-san! She's a professional! That's awesome—!"

"Ryo, you must be very happy too, right? After all, you like Momoka-san the most, and this is a collaboration with your idol!"

Yamada Ryo: “…I guess so.”

Unlike the happy Hong Xia, our Ms. Liang just glanced at Luo Zhen out of the corner of her eye.

She gave a meaningful smile and looked at Luo Zhen playfully.

Luo Zhen clasped his hands together and thanked her for her help.

Yamada Ryo can see through Luo Zhen's cunning mind completely, and this is considered to be dragging them to serve as a foil for Taoxiang.

Of course she was not unhappy, she just said softly:

"You owe me one more time. You have to grant me one hundred wishes and do whatever I say."

Luo Zhen: "Just one hundred wishes is too cruel, isn't it? ... Of course I'm willing to accept it. Master Liang, whatever you say is what I will do."

I guess I'll be Yamada Ryo's dog in the future...which isn't so bad.

Seeing that both Hongxia and Liang were very enthusiastic, Taoxiang, as an adult, felt a little reluctant to refuse their kindness.

She had just accepted the boss's invitation, and today's visit was free of charge.

This made her sigh:

"I understand. It's fine if it's just practice... but I have a condition."

Taoxiang glanced over.

She looked at Rencai, who was huddled in a corner drinking juice, unable to join in the conversation.

She is a real bully at home.

When facing Luo Zhen, she was so positive and proactive.

She can even compete with her idol Momoka for his favor without any stage fright.

But once she arrived in this unfamiliar environment, she was completely like a puppy caught in the rain.

He could only watch his master (Luo Zhen) interact with others. He wanted to act coquettishly but didn't dare to, so he just squatted in the corner pitifully.

Alas... Taoxiang sighed.

She quickly stepped forward and took Renai's hand:

"My throat isn't in great shape, so I'll just play guitar today. Let this girl sing the lead vocals. It's just practice anyway, right?"

Oh, everyone nodded in appreciation.

Rencai was stunned for a while, then exploded:

"Lead singer? Me?!... Oysters, oysters, oysters! I can't sing..."

Luo Zhen: "Nonsense, Renna, you can sing very well."

Luo Zhen suddenly came to the rescue, massaging Master Liang's thighs while saying:

"You sang it to me before, it was amazing. And your Momoka song alone has over a thousand plays. You could dream up the lyrics, right? It's just practice, so why not give it a try?"

Ahhhh... Renna was completely pushed on the top of the bar, her face flushed hot.

-------------------------------------

With the enthusiastic support of a group of people, the four people really went on stage very quickly.

It’s not LiveHouse’s opening hours yet, so as long as the stage is set up, we can use it without worrying about disturbing the guests.

Both Xingge, the tsundere sister-con, and PA-san, who loves to stir up trouble, are very happy with this situation.

When Taoxiang plugged in the guitar and tested the sound on the stage, Luo Zhen was also filled with emotion.

In the three months of living with Taoxiang...almost four months, this was the first time Luo Zhen saw her walk on the stage seriously.

Because of the impact of leaving the team, she has always had a sense of inferiority and has been vaguely avoiding performing in a team with others again.

But this still requires breaking the ice, and Luo Zhen is willing to give her a push.

Ah, Luo Zhen, who was acting as an agent in the audience, asked:
