Hiroi Kikuri finally quietly took her wine back and took two deep sips while Ijichi Hongxia wasn't paying attention. Then she let out a sigh of relief and said in a carefree tone: "The bass is too arrogant, the drums are too conservative, and the guitar is too timid."

"is that so……"

Ijichi Hongxia muttered in confusion.

Hiroi Kikuri continued: "If I were to rank them by level, guitar is the best, followed by bass, and finally your drums, Hongxia."

Li Mo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this: Although this guy seems unreliable, he is surprisingly capable.

"Pochi's guitar is actually better than my bass?"

Yamada Ryo was a little surprised. After all, she was quite confident in her own level and felt that she was at least capable of standing on her own among the students.

"Let's put it this way,"

Hiroi Kikuri said happily: "That child must have a bright future. My intuition is right~"

"Thanks?"

Goto Ichiri said unsurely, "But I always feel... I might mess it up..."

"Don't worry. Even if you mess up on stage, I'll be the one to apologize."

Li Mo rubbed the girl's head and comforted her softly: "So just relax."

"Ugh, after hearing what Asakura-san said, I feel even more stressed..."

Goto Ichiri had a sad face, unconsciously stroking the ring on his hand, and muttered softly.

"How about Pochi play the song you're going to solo on stage here. That way you can get used to other people's eyesight and we can give you some advice."

Ijichi Hongxia suggested.

"Eh……"

Goto Ichiri looked at Li Mo helplessly, only to see Li Mo also showing a 'good idea!' expression, and suddenly he felt isolated and helpless.

"Encore~ Encore~"

Yamada Ryo picked up the sand bell in the corner of the room and started to make noise.

"No, we haven't even sung yet, where's the encore..."

Li Mo complained.

"Encore~ Encore~"

As a result, the drunk Hiroi Kikuri also started twisting her body and making noise along with Yamada Ryo.

"It's so noisy, let's listen to Pochi singing!"

Seeing Goto Ichiri's pitiful look as he was caught in a dilemma because of their noise, Hongxia once again used the physical method to sober up and temporarily made Hiroi Kikuri shut up.

I hope it’s not closed forever, Rainbow Gate.

Chapter 222: You will be hungry.

The song is over.

"Oh... maybe this could work."

Hiroi Kikuri looked at Goto Ichiri who was a little out of breath and said that because of the surprise, the drunken feeling he had just had was much lessened, and he looked much more reliable.

"I feel like Pochi can definitely stand on his own..."

Ijichi Nichina was also shocked. In her beautiful red eyes, besides being happy that Goto Ichiri was able to stand on his own, there seemed to be a hint of subtle loss.

After a moment of silence, Yamada Ryo placed one hand across his chest and supported his chin with the other, saying seriously, like an industry insider: "I feel like it would be better played on an electric guitar."

“Isn’t the point of the comment wrong?”

Ichichi Hongxia looked at her speechlessly.

"Besides, it goes really well with bass. Yo Pochi, come stand with me at the Budokan!"

Yamada Ryo ignored her complaints and waved enthusiastically at Goto Ichiri.

"Don't even think about it until you've polished your basic playing skills!"

After saying this, Hongxia looked at Goto Ichiri and said sincerely, "But this song is really great. I haven't heard it before. Is it a new song from some band?"

"Yes, it's Asakura-san's song."

Goto Ichiri answered quietly.

So everyone's eyes turned to Li Mo, who had acted as if nothing had happened.

"Asakura-san can also write songs? That's amazing!"

Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but marvel at it, and the ahoge on his head kept spinning like a small antenna, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Don't mind me, I'm just a porter."

Li Mo waved his hand, "But the copyright is indeed with me."

"copyright……"

Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up with a strange light: "This word gives people the feeling of making a lot of money!"

"I don't plan on making a profit from this right now. If you guys want to give it a try, I can license it to the End Band after Ichiri performs at the Founder's Festival."

Li Mo ignored the other party's look of wanting to borrow money and said to Yidi Chi Hongxia.

"Really?! Thank you, Asakura-san!"

Hong Xia happily held Li Mo's hands and shook them up and down vigorously.

"Well, the song itself is fine, but Pochi-chan's singing..."

At this time, Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head and said, "It doesn't feel good."

Naturally, she was the one who could best see how much Goto Ichiri was lacking in singing.

Even if we put aside the girl's shy nature, the lack of practice in this area alone is a fatal problem. In fact, just now in the second half of the song, Goto Ichiri's singing became erratic due to insufficient lung capacity.

As the professional lead singer of the popular band SICK HACK, Hiroi Kikuri has the courage to make a judgment: in terms of the hard requirements to be a lead singer, this kid may not even be as good as those who like to be microphone masters in KTV.

"Yeah, it's not obvious in this practice room, but if it's on stage, even with a microphone, I'm afraid it would be..."

Ijichi Hongxia was also a little worried about Goto Ichiri, fearing that the girl would be devastated by the failure.

"It's better for us to finish the band and perform on stage instead of Yili."

Yamada Ryo gestured to Li Mo very skillfully: "I can split the appearance fee with you 30% and 70%."

"Don't worry about that."

Li Mo smiled mysteriously: "If it is really a last resort, Yili still has a final method to ensure that the song can be performed well."

"Is that lip-syncing? I don't recommend that."

Hiroi Kikuri couldn't help but frown: Although she always messed up her live performances because of being drunk, she had never lip-synced before, and she felt that many times she had to rely on improvisation to liven up the atmosphere of the performance, and it was difficult to achieve this by lip-syncing.

The most important thing is that Hiroi Kikuri believes that the negative impact on Goto Ichiri of being exposed to this kind of behavior at the very beginning is immeasurable.

From Ijichi Nikka's hesitant expression and Yamada Ryo's suddenly cold attitude, it can be seen that although they did not say it directly, they also opposed lip-syncing.

"Of course it's not lip-syncing. If it really comes to the point where you need to lip-sync, then your band's review will be completely meaningless, right? Wouldn't it be better to just play pre-synthesized music?"

Li Mo spread his hands: "Don't worry, she must be singing for real. She is not that fragile at first."

"I, I think it's okay not to trust my mental endurance so much..."

Goto Ichiri whispered while holding his guitar.

"It's a shame I won't be able to see Pochi's performance then."

Yidi Chi Hongxia didn't doubt what Li Mo said, and probably just regarded what Li Mo called the "ultimate means" as a means of encouragement like warning Yili before going on stage that "the people in the audience are all pumpkins".

"If you want to go, it's not impossible. I have alumni tickets here. Once you get in, I can also change you into Sobu High School uniforms. If you want to perform, there's even a small outdoor stage in the courtyard where you can have a small live performance like a street performance."

Li Mo said truthfully: "It's just that it shouldn't be a holiday at Beize High School that day."

"It's okay, just ask for leave!"

Upon hearing this, Ijichi Hongxia said happily, "How can we miss Pochi's first guitar solo performance!"

"Are there any free snacks or something I can eat that day?"

Yamada Ryosuke confirmed with Li Mo.

"They're just some cheap stuff, don't expect too much."

Li Mo replied.

"That's all right,"

Yamada Ryo's eyes flashed: "I will prepare to accumulate calories in advance!"

"Is it really okay for your body to always be like this?"

Li Mo couldn't help but ask, feeling that Yamada Ryo was one of the few girls he knew who not only did not stay away from the word "calories", but was actually attracted to it.

"Don't look at me like this, I'm actually the type of person who looks thinner when I wear clothes."

Yamada Ryo twisted his body, as if trying to strike a seductive pose, but because his movements were a bit awkward and stiff, he looked inexplicably funny.

Having seen girls like Goto Ichiri who 'really look thin in clothes', Li Mo certainly didn't take Yamada Ryo's words seriously. He just patted the girl's shoulder with a look of pity on his face and said, "Be nice to yourself. I feel like if you keep going like this, your children will starve."

"If you have pity on me, give me money."

The blue-haired girl spread her hands towards Li Mo.

"Are you some homeless kid?"

"If you don't give money, the children will go hungry."

"Don't talk like it's my child!"

"Ryo-senpai has Asakura-san's child?!"

Goto Ichiri was shocked.

"Don't snap out of your senses at a time like this! You're only making things more confusing!"

Li Mo, whose reputation was inexplicably damaged, complained loudly.

Chapter 223: Scales and Flashing Patterns.

The final days until the Founder's Festival are passing by in a flash.

During these two days, Yukinoshita Yukino went to school as usual and rehearsed a stage play with Li Mo in the service club activity room, but occasionally she would stare out the window in a daze, as if something was bothering her.

But since she didn't ask for his help, it meant that what was bothering the girl had nothing to do with the supernatural.

Li Mo felt that it was probably unique to adolescence, the kind of situation where even the smallest little things would be tangled up into the content of about three volumes of a light novel, and the sensitive girls would feel sad and self-pitying.

But what's interesting is that the other party still has a strong curiosity and thirst for knowledge about supernatural knowledge. When Li Mo talks about related topics, everyone will put their worries aside and listen to him talk about these things.

"Flash pattern?"

"Yes, it's the one on the back of your hand. I originally wanted to call it the Command Seal, but changed it to this when reviewing and refining it."

Li Mo said seriously, "To be precise, 'Flash' and 'Pattern' are two different magic skills."

He explained: "'Pattern', just as its name suggests, is a technique for transforming spells into patterns or marks for preservation. However, if there is no magic power in the pattern itself, it is just an ordinary pattern to Muggles, nothing special about it."

"If you use an analogy,"

Yukinoshita Yukino pondered: "It's like throwing a smartphone into the Stone Age. Because there was no electricity, people in that era would neither understand nor use it, right?"

"That's pretty much it. 'Flash' is a skill that complements 'Mark'. When the amount of magic reaches a certain threshold—I'll set it at 50 standard units—when manifesting and using this magic, even if no spells are involved, some special phenomena will occur. The most common one is this magical flash."

Li Mo casually waved his fingers twice in the air. Due to the large amount of magic power accumulated at his fingertips, a faint blue light emanated directly into the air, looking somewhat like a cold-toned fairy wand. "So I named the magic skill of 'storing magic power in a certain medium' 'Flash'. This skill is equivalent to charging a certain amount of electricity in the smartphone you just used as an analogy, allowing the smartphone to turn on even in the Stone Age... Of course, humans at that time still couldn't understand it, and could only use the most marginal functions of all, such as using it as a substitute for a torch."

"So this is called 'flash marks'..."

Yukinoshita Yukino subconsciously touched the back of her left hand.

"Because the 'mark' is the cursed [Scales], the full name of yours should be [Scale Flash Mark]."

"It's such a blunt and unaesthetic name."

"Whatever you say."
