Chapter 333: Pochi hummed softly.
"Come to think of it, Pochi-chan also performed at Sobu High School last time."
Talking about the school festival of Sobu High School, Ijichi Nijika seemed to remember something and spoke again.
"If Pochi had agreed to the agency contracts with those big companies at that time, maybe we would have debuted already."
Yamada Ryo ate his pasta in big mouthfuls and spoke incoherently.
"The more likely possibility is that Pochi-chan will be asked to go solo, and the two of us will be eliminated directly."
Ijichi Hongxia said rather pessimistically.
"Come to think of it, didn't you guys still have a lead singer when you finished the band?"
Li Mo asked curiously, "Can we still do a live show like this?"
"This brings us to our secret weapon!"
The blonde girl's ability to self-regulate was evidently quite good, and her expression immediately brightened up again: "I'll name it 'Hum Pochi'!"
"What's with this name that sounds like a subtle hint..."
"It was the store manager who first proposed it,"
Yamada Ryo said, her lips stained with ketchup, the red circle looking oddly funny. Li Mo's first impression of her as a cold beauty had long since vanished. The store manager the girl was referring to was probably Starry's manager, Hongxia's sister, Ijichi Hoshika. "'If you can't sing, just hum it,' she said to Pochi."
"It turns out that even Pochi-chan's humming is impressive. It's not as good as the one at Sobu High School, but it's also received a lot of praise on Starry!"
Ijichi Hongxia said excitedly, obviously happy that the band had finally gotten rid of the awkward period and was getting back on track.
Li Mo suddenly realized.
Because of his previous instructions, in order to prevent any accidents from happening with the cursed song, Goto Ichiri usually doesn't sing - of course, considering the girl's personality, even if she could sing, she probably wouldn't sing.
But if she just hummed along with the music, it would obviously circumvent the restriction of 'not being able to sing' and the girl's social anxiety that makes her afraid to sing in front of others, and it would be a completely different approach.
Humming obviously won't activate the spell [Song], but just like Li Mo can maintain his reaction speed and infrared vision far beyond that of ordinary people even without using the spell [Snake], Goto Ichiri will also trigger some passive effects of the spell [Song] when humming softly. Considering the scene of the street performance yesterday, it's probably something like 'Charm +20'?
"I see,"
Li Mo nodded thoughtfully, "Hum Pochi, not bad!"
"That's what I said."
Ijichi Hongxia held her cheek, "But it still feels a little strange that there's no singing, just humming. If possible, I really hope that Pochi-chan can sing normally."
"Regarding this, if you don't want to end up in the same miserable situation as last time, Hongxia, you should just give up."
Yamada Ryo said this with a lingering fear in his voice while wiping his mouth with a napkin.
"What happened?"
Li Mo asked curiously.
"Ahahaha...it's not a big deal."
Ijichi Hongka scratched her head awkwardly, the ahoge on her head swaying from side to side as she moved. "It was when Ryo and I went to Pochi-chan's house to discuss the costumes for the performance. During our casual chat, out of curiosity, Ryo and I asked Pochi-chan to change into her regular clothes..."
"Daily clothes?"
Li Mo was stunned: "Isn't that kid's regular attire the pink tracksuit? I think he's already appreciated it enough on a daily basis, right?"
"No, actually, Pochi-chan has a lot of other casual clothes, and there are a lot of cute skirts in them."
Hong Xia said excitedly: "It is said that they were all bought by Pochi-chan's mother. But Pochi-chan felt more at ease wearing that sportswear, so she never wore those casual clothes, only that sportswear..."
"what?!"
Li Mo was stunned: "So, you guys actually saw Yili's regular clothes mode earlier than me, your boyfriend!"
"Hehehe, Pochi's regular clothes mode is super cute. How much would you like to pay for a photo of her regular clothes, sir?"
Yamada Ryo showed a smirk like a little gangster and approached Li Mo and asked.
"Gu, if it's less than 10,000 yen..."
Li Mo took out his wallet with difficulty.
“Thank you for your patronage~”
“Don’t really take the money!”
Hong Xia angrily slapped away Yamada Ryo's hand that was reaching out to Li Mo and Fukuzawa Yukichi, and said to Li Mo: "Asakura-kun, don't be so shaken. Cheer up!"
"But...Ichiri's first time..."
"Don't be so ambiguous! It's just casual clothes... You look so sad, even I feel a little sorry for you."
Hong Xia looked helplessly at Li Mo, who was lying on the table with a look of despair.
"In that case, please compensate me."
"Are you suddenly perked up? Well, if I'm just treating you to a meal or something..."
The kind girl said so.
"Miss Hongxia, please dress up as a maid with animal ears and glasses and work in my shop!"
Li Mo sat up straight and stated his request.
"The request has become so specific?! By the way, why does this feel like a long-planned request?"
The blonde girl blushed. "I have to work for my sister, so I can't..."
"I'll add a hundred yen to Miss Xingge's hourly rate."
Li Mo tried to negotiate.
"Hongxia is not such a cheap girl,"
Yamada Ryo began to bargain: "At least another thousand yen."
"Huh? What about my personal wishes?"
The girl with blonde hair and side ponytail looked speechlessly at the two people who were discussing the sale of her freedom.
"Adding another 1,000 yen to the normal hourly wage is a bit high."
Li Mo pondered.
"What if I say I can add Hongxia's services of giving you a shoulder massage, tea and water, and a free lunch, 'ah~'?"
Yamada Ryo rested his chin on his hand and added in a deep voice.
"Stepping back, what about my personal freedom?"
The blonde girl looked dazed, as if she had been sold by human traffickers.
Li Mo studied the girl's appearance for a moment, making her face blush with shyness. Then he nodded to Yamada Ryo and said, "Deal."
"It's done! I didn't agree to it!"
Ijichi Hongxia protested: "Since it's Liang's terms, then let Liang go!"
Li Mo studied Yamada's appearance for a moment, and after seeing him look expressionless and showing a contrived shy gesture, he nodded at Hong Xia: "Deal."
"So as long as it's a girl, it's fine?!"
Hong Xia complained.
"No, specifically,"
Li Mo corrected: "Only a cute girl will do."
Ijichi Hongxia was speechless, and the expression on her face made it hard to tell whether she was shy because the other person called her cute, or she was helpless about the other person's shamelessness.
Chapter 334 This incident is also recorded in "Lonely Rock".
"So what you just said,"
After admiring Ichichi Hongxia's cute shy expression for a moment, Li Mo continued, "Is it just Yili's regular clothes?"
"You were so distracted that I almost missed the most important part."
Hong Xia gave Li Mo a cold look. She had never made such an impolite expression to Li Mo in the past. She felt that the joke just now had brought the psychological distance between them closer.
"Yes, our real adventure has just begun-"
Yamada Ryo added from the side.
"What's with this line that looks like the last frame of a comic strip that was cut short..."
Li Mo complained.
"Asakura-kun, you know that if Pochi-chan suffers a certain mental blow, she will become more abstract, right?"
Ijichi Hongxia ignored Yamada Ryo's antics and continued.
She probably finally realized that if she continued to be led by Yamada Ryo's rhythm, the topic would become endless.
"Well, depending on the type of damage they receive, there are different subspecies forms, such as cyberization and slimeization."
Li Mo also nodded seriously.
"There are so many variations! I thought it just fell to the ground and lost color, and it took a while for it to recover, which was normal..."
Hong Xia muttered something, then continued: "Then if you continue to put pressure on her in that situation, do you know what will happen?"
"...I'm telling you, you did this to someone else's girlfriend, and you actually came to me, your boyfriend, and told me everything?"
Li Mo looked at Ichichi Hongxia with a dead fish look in his eyes: "If I didn't know you well, Hongxia, I would have thought you came here to provoke me."
"I'm here to provoke."
Yamada Ryo said proudly: "The first time I saw Pochi in casual clothes, it was me, Ryo!"
Seeing Ijichi Hongxia's worried expression as if she wanted to explain to him that Yamada Ryo was just joking, Li Mo just spoke very calmly.
"You have to pay for the meal you ordered yourself."
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me."
So Yamada Ryo slid to his knees in an instant.
"In short, if you continue to put pressure on Pochi-chan while she's already under a lot of pressure, something bad will happen."
Ijichi Hongka tried hard to get the topic back on track.
"What will happen? Will he turn into Godzilla and destroy the world?"
Li Mo asked casually.
"Asakura-kun, you probably still remember that song Pochi-chan sang at the Sobu High School Founder's Festival. It was incredibly infectious, right? Even celebrities who seem so calm and composed on TV had expressions that seemed to be thrilled."
Ijichi Hinikaka suddenly broached an unrelated topic: "Great singers all have a certain infectious energy, which is why the atmosphere is so much more engaging live than just watching on screen."
“It seems so, but so what?”
Li Mo asked without comment.
No one understood better than him what Goto Ichiri's performance during the Founder's Festival meant.
"I just want to say that Pochi-chan's infectiousness, or her ability to disrupt the 'atmosphere', is probably far beyond what most people imagine."
Ijichi Hongxia then spoke seriously: "At that time, Liang and I were too interested in Pochi-chan's other casual clothes, so we ignored Pochi-chan's own feelings. We just wanted her to change into a few more clothes to see."
"Then Pochi turned into a puddle."
Yamada Ryo continued.
"A pool of..."
Li Mo was stunned.
"It must have been a hallucination. Pochi-chan's strong resistance to changing clothes made the atmosphere in the room extremely negative."
Ijichi Hongxia added: "At that time, we saw Pochi turned into ash like a vampire caught in the sun... and we were infected by that negative emotion. We were completely depressed and wasted the entire afternoon in Pochi's room. In the end, Pochi's mother came to the room and woke us up."
"It's not an infection, it's the inhalation of Botchi bacteria."
Yamada Ryo said with a solemn oath.
"I told you it must be just an illusion!"
Hong Xia held a different opinion. After all, this wasn't the first time she had encountered a similar situation, and Goto Ichiri was usually quite abstract: "What is Bochi bacteria? Bochi bacteria!"
