"Uh...actually, we just wanted to ask for directions. We were going to look for a friend, but the address he left behind couldn't be found on the map. We didn't mean any harm."
The two men looked quite strong, with dyed hair red and green, and their clothes were somewhat non-mainstream, but if you look closely, they seemed to be somewhat different from gangsters, and there were some icons of famous bands on the front of their clothes.
This seems... just a misunderstanding?
"Is what they say true?"
"Ah."
Feeling the sense of security in Muto Yu's arms, Goto Ichiri nodded slightly. These two very rock and roll spirited guys really had no ill intentions.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you just now."
"It's okay... Do you know this place?"
In response to Muto Yu's apology, the two energetic young men quickly said that it was okay, but as for the questions the two asked, he could only say that he was unable to help.
"We are tourists visiting Kagoshima City and don't know much about this place. We're sorry we can't help you."
"Then let's continue searching slowly. Also, we're very sorry for accidentally scaring your friend."
The spirited young man also apologized, and the misunderstanding was resolved peacefully and properly before it escalated further.
Although for Yu Muto, he felt a little regretful.
"Aren't there any classic villains I can try my hand at?!"
He thought this helplessly in his heart, and then he heard the faint sound of mosquitoes and flies coming from the girl in his arms.
"Boss...can you please let me go? There are so many people watching me, I'm so embarrassed."
"Oh, sorry."
Only then did Muto Yu realize that he was still holding Goto Ichiri in his arms, and quickly loosened his arms that were tightly around the cherry-haired girl's waist.
"It's ok."
Goto Ichiri shook her head slightly, a blush on her pretty face. She hesitated for a moment before thanking Muto Yu.
"Thank you for running over to protect me."
"It was just a misunderstanding, no need to thank me."
Hearing such humble words from Muto Yu, Goto Ichiri said nothing more, but just looked at the other party with shining eyes.
Even though it was just a misunderstanding, Muto Yu's actions still left some very obvious marks in Goto Ichiri's heart.
We went back to the hotel restaurant for lunch. After lunch, the girls took a nap for a while, and then we went out shopping in the afternoon.
However, Yu Muto did not go out with everyone, but chose to stay in the hotel to write programs. The main reason was that he had gone shopping and eaten in the morning, so there was no need to go out in the afternoon.
We can just wait until tonight to watch the fireworks show. The return flight is tomorrow afternoon, so I can accompany the girls to enjoy the cherry blossoms in the morning.
The plan is good, but there is a saying that plans cannot keep up with changes.
Unable to resist the aroma of various foods on the roadside, Kita Ikuyo ended up eating a lot of snacks.
From the initial "It's okay to eat a little", to "I've already eaten a lot, it doesn't matter if I eat a little more", and finally to "This is the last one".
I don’t know if it’s simply because I ate too much that caused gastrointestinal discomfort, or if there really is something unclean in the food.
Anyway, the final result is...
"Boss, I feel like something's wrong with my stomach!"
Halfway through dinner, Kita Ikuyo's face turned slightly pale, and her big watery eyes were filled with fear and anxiety. The girl also realized that she seemed to be holding everyone back at the critical moment.
"Eh?!"
After hearing what Kita Ikuyo said, Ijichi Hongxia stopped eating and showed a hesitant expression on her face.
The other girls nearby also turned their attention over. Kita Ikuyo's behavior at this time made everyone feel uneasy.
After all, after dinner, they will go to the gymnasium to prepare for the performance, but now the situation has become a little confusing.
"Kita, you're...kidding me now, right?"
"That's what I'm saying. Kita is still joking at this time. You've learned bad habits from Ryo. That's really too much."
Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nikka spoke one after another, both looking at the focus of the moment - Kita Ikuyo - with anticipation mixed with uneasiness.
"Sorry, senior, I'm not kidding. I need to go to the bathroom first."
Kita Ikuyo's face became more and more ugly, and then she ran away. Things seemed to be just as they expected, and Murphy's Law came true again.
Chapter 232 Red Hair Resurrects with Full Blood
"I'm sorry...senpai, Pochi, president, this is all my fault."
Kita Ikuyo, who suffered from acute gastroenteritis, is now pale and no longer as energetic as usual. Even without using a stethoscope, people around the girl can hear the rumbling sound of her stomach.
This sound is not caused by hunger, but by gastrointestinal discomfort and bloating.
"There are still two hours until the scheduled performance. If I use the special medicine... will it be in time?"
Ijichi Hongka gritted her teeth and asked Yamada Ryo, who ran a hospital at home and might know more about the relevant issues.
"Let me ask."
Yamada Ryo took out her cell phone and sent a Line message to the doctor at her hospital for consultation. After getting the results, she shook her head slightly at the girls who still retained a last bit of hope.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry..."
Everyone lost all hope in an instant. Kita Ikuyo kept repeating "I'm sorry", but now sorry was meaningless.
The band's first commercial performance ended before it even began. In addition to paying liquidated damages, the band's reputation might also be tarnished. The most important thing is that they disappointed the latter.
"Okay, since there's nothing else we can do, let's quickly contact the hospital and send Xiduo there. This commercial performance is over, but there will be opportunities in the future, so the key is to get her body back in shape as soon as possible."
As the only adult present, Ijichi Xingge must step forward and serve as the backbone at this time.
"Even President Muto was probably caught off guard in this situation, huh."
Having not heard Muto Yu's voice, Ijichi Xingge turned her head worriedly, ready to comfort him a few more words, but she saw that the other person's face did not look panicked, but rather hesitant.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?"
Subconsciously, Ijichi Hoshige asked the question out of curiosity, and then the band members who had not dared to look at Muto Yuu due to guilt also turned their gazes over.
"If you really want to go on stage, there are actually ways."
"Eh? Really, is there any other way?!"
When she heard Yu Muto's slightly hesitant words, the one who reacted the most was Ikuyo Kita, who was almost overwhelmed by self-blame and guilt. She was like a drowning person who grabbed the only life-saving straw.
"There is a way, but the sacrifice might be too great for you. I'm not sure if you can accept it."
"What kind of sacrifice?"
Kita Ikuyo's throat rolled twice, but she still couldn't help asking Muto Yu. As long as there was a little hope, she didn't want everyone's efforts to go to waste.
Ijichi Nikka, Yamada Ryo, Goto Ichiri, and herself, all of them were eager to go on stage. They didn't know how much sweat they had shed and how much effort they had put in for this performance.
"Before, Goto got airsick on a plane, and I helped relieve her symptoms through massage. I can use similar methods to help you, but if I want to get you back to the stage condition within an hour, I'll need to massage more areas."
Treating diarrhea and relieving pain is just the beginning. What is more important is to replenish the body's vitality. After all, even if acute gastroenteritis is cured, it is difficult to perform on stage when you have just recovered from a serious illness.
Moreover, Kita Ikuyo was the lead singer. When she had just recovered from a serious illness, she was suffering from the debuff of weakness, and the songs she sang were soft and weak, without any power in her voice, so naturally the audience would not buy into her performance.
This is also the reason why Yamada Ryo shook his head. It is possible to use special medicine to quickly stop diarrhea and relieve pain, but it is impossible to restore vitality.
"Boss, come on!"
After hearing Yu Muto's answer, a blush appeared on Kita Ikuyo's pale cheeks because of shyness, and then the girl gritted her teeth and chose to accept the other party's proposal.
After all, the fault of this problem lies with Kita Ikuyo herself, coupled with the girl's gratitude and admiration for Muto Yu, and the saying that one should not hide the illness and avoid seeing a doctor.
"Xiduo! There's really no need. If we miss it this time, we can still wait for the next time, so you have to think carefully about it."
Ijichi Hoshige quickly stepped forward. She was worried that Kita Ikuyo was making such a decision on impulse and might regret it later, so she had to remind her to think carefully.
"Manager, I've made up my mind. This incident was entirely my own fault. If I can't make amends, I'm afraid I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life."
Kita Ikuyo showed a determined expression, and then looked at Muto Yu with a nervous look mixed with a hint of expectation.
"So... I'm counting on you, President."
"Since you've decided."
Muto Yu nodded, naturally not refusing anything anymore, and not caring that the other girls were watching next to him.
Or perhaps it was because the other girls were watching and he maintained a serious expression that the girls present subconsciously thought that 'the president's actions were to treat Kita, not to take advantage of her'.
However, during the whole process, not only Kita Ikuyo, the person involved, blushed, but the girls watching around her were not much better.
Yu Muto touched almost every part of Kita Ikuyo's body, and as he massaged her, the girl clearly felt that her body seemed to be getting stronger and stronger. The other party was not lying!
"Alright, we should be able to get through today's performance without any problem. After a good rest tonight, we'll be completely fine by tomorrow. It won't delay our cherry blossom viewing trip tomorrow morning."
Muto Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Allowing Kita Ikuyo to temporarily recover to a healthy and energetic state was not without cost. This process consumed a lot of his physical strength.
"Kita, how are you feeling?"
Ijichi Hongka and the others were nervously watching Kita Ikuyo who was moving her body curiously. There was a hint of envy hidden in the eyes of the three girls who had finished the band, which they themselves were not aware of.
After confirming it again and again, the red-haired girl gave a thumbs-up to everyone who cared about her.
"No problem!"
Seeing Kita Ikuyo's energetic smile, everyone finally put their minds at ease. Without saying anything more, everyone immediately set off for the gymnasium.
In the gymnasium lounge, after bowing and apologizing to the staff many times, everyone finally relaxed. There was still half an hour before they went on stage.
"However, the president is really amazing. He can even do something like this."
Yamada Ryo has some knowledge of medicine, and he is the most deeply touched by what Muto Yu has done. This is a bit too outrageous.
After all, this is achieved only through massage, without the use of adrenaline or anything like that.
Chapter 233: Proud Xingge
However, the girls didn't have time to pay too much attention to these magical things, because...
"Dong dong dong..."
A heartbeat like the beating of a drum was coming from a certain cherry-haired girl. Even without looking at her expression, it was easy to understand that she was in a state of severe tension at this moment.
"Goto, are you...really okay?"
"S-Sorry, President, I feel a little nervous."
Even after receiving psychological counseling many times, Goto Ichiri still couldn't suppress his nervousness when he realized that he was going to perform on such a grand stage.
And it wasn't just Goto Ichiri. Other girls with better mental qualities also showed signs of nervousness. Even Ijichi Hoshika, who didn't need to go on stage, was secretly worried about the girls.
After all, in addition to the tens of thousands of spectators in the stadium, the performance on the stage will also be broadcast live via cameras to giant display screens on high-rise buildings.
This means that their performance will also be seen by tourists attending the Cherry Blossom Festival and the fireworks display. The audience will not be tens of thousands. Including the indigenous people of Kagoshima City, there will probably be more than 100,000 people watching their performance at the same time, or even more.
"Goto, take a deep breath and relax. You have reliable companions by your side, and I'm here to support you, so there's no need to be nervous. Just show your usual strength and it will be fine."
Muto Yuu thought he had no talent for talking, but after hearing his words, the band and even Ijichi Hoshika began to take deep breaths.
Because I had corrected Goto Ichiri's deep breathing before, I didn't suffer from respiratory alkalosis due to deep breathing again.
Then the heartbeat that was like the beating of a drum finally calmed down. By the way, can Goto Ichiri, who was like that just now, cosplay as King?
Same Emperor engine, same weakness, same talent in some areas...
"Band finished, ready to go!"
There was no time to give the girls more inspirational words, so Yuya Muto could only use a look of affirmation and encouragement to replace his thousands of words.
Watching the girls who finished the band go on stage, Yuu Muto and Hoshika Ijichi, as stakeholders, could watch the girls' performance from the stage entrance passage.
As the first official commercial performance of the new band, the band also made a successful debut in a true sense, and under the protection of Muto Yu, they began to spread their wings and soar.
....................................
"Ah, it's over. It feels so good!"
In the lounge after the performance, Ijichi Hongxia stretched hard with an expression of great satisfaction on her face.
“It’s great that nothing went wrong.”
