Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

If Hoshikawa Taku gave the order, she would be willing to help even if she didn't want to see Jing Qinren with a sour face.

However, Hoshikawa Taku said, "Xiaozhi, I won't force you to do anything you don't want to do. You are angry with Jinna, right? If Jinna apologizes to you, will you help?"

"what?"

Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "That stubborn little brat will apologize to me? Don't be ridiculous! She is a self-centered person. Even if she is wrong, she will feel that the whole world is against her."

It has to be said that the person who knows you best is your "enemy". Xiaozhi's opinion of Jing Qinrencai is really to the point.

However, this time, Xiaozhi was wrong.

After learning about the situation, Renai actually came to the recording studio, bowed her head and personally apologized to Xiaozhi.

"Xiaozhi, I'm sorry. I was a clueless country girl before, and I really didn't know what the middle finger meant. At the time, I actually wanted to express my gratitude... I misunderstood the meaning, I'm really sorry..."

Xiaozhi is a person who is soft-hearted and does not respond to harshness. When he saw Rencai apologize, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

"...Okay, I'm not the kind of person who cares about small details."

She snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and acted reluctantly, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's just forget it!"

Lupa stood aside with his hands behind his back, smiling silently.

She had already known the truth from Momoka a long time ago. Nina didn't do it on purpose, and Satoshi wasn't an unreasonable person. They just had some misunderstandings.

They both have the same stubborn temper and are unwilling to give in. Once a conflict arises, neither of them is willing to give in first.

Lupa doesn't want the two of them to hate each other for the rest of their lives because of a misunderstanding.

Lupa clapped his hands and smiled, saying, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's work together for now! Music is something that brings people together, isn't it?"

As she spoke, she winked at Taoxiang, who responded with a helpless smile.

It’s so hard to have “children”, and also to resolve conflicts between them…

Chapter 245: Our band has not disbanded!

With Lupa's persuasion, Xiaozhi and Jingqin Renna were able to "reconcile" reluctantly.

It is not clear whether this is a superficial reconciliation, but at least the two people no longer have cold faces when looking at each other.

Several people returned to the practice room and started their first rehearsal after some preparation.

As the lead singer, Renna did not participate for the time being. She sat aside, her eyes quietly scanning between the few people.

She had just listened to the duet between Momoka and Hiroi-senpai, and honestly, it could be described in one word - a complete mess.

Even if both of them are professional musicians, they still cannot develop enough tacit understanding due to the lack of communication and consensus, and the effect is that 1+1 is less than 2.

Rencai originally thought that even if this rehearsal was a little better than the previous one, it wouldn't be a big improvement.

After all, it is the first time they have partnered up, and the adjustment period is difficult to skip.

But she never expected that the effect of this rehearsal would far exceed her expectations.

Xiaozhi and Lupa had clearly never practiced with Momoka before, but just by looking at the music sheet, they were able to accurately find their own positions in this rehearsal.

Lupa's bass is neither too dominant nor monotonous. It is like the foundation that firmly supports the entire song, filling every gap silently, making the rhythm transition smoother and the melody fuller.

She is not a dazzling presence, but her voice and rhythm are as natural as breathing, and she can hold the whole song firmly.

Xiaozhi, who was sitting in front of the electronic keyboard, was more like a calm operator. The melody she played was slightly rising, which was both lyrical and had a subtle tension. There was a wonderful tacit understanding in her cooperation with Taoxiang, as if the notes could automatically relay each other's collisions.

It was hard for Nina to imagine that these two "new members" who performed so well were actually playing together with Momoka for the first time.

When she looked at Xiaozhi again, there was even a hint of respect in her eyes - respect for the strong.

Even though she didn't like Xiaozhi's personality, she had to admit that he was a genius.

When their first rehearsal was over, Hiroi Kikuri, who was standing by, did not hesitate to praise them.

"You guys have such great chemistry playing together! Even groups that have been together for months might not be able to match your level of chemistry!"

As if she had thought of something, she clapped her hands and directly suggested, "Your positions just complement each other. Why don't you guys just form a band? It might be a good fit!"

However, after wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, Xiaozhi curled his lips in disapproval.

"Who's on the same team with them? Lupa and I have our own band, we're just here to help out temporarily. We play well because we're professional, not because we have a good rapport!"

Rencai was slightly stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "Um...didn't your band disband?"

Rencai didn't see the remaining few people in the office and thought they had all gone solo.

This sentence immediately angered Xiaozhi.

She turned her head abruptly and glared at Jing Qinrencai: "Our band [Extension Line] is not disbanding!"

"Why, don't you allow your band members to have their own lives? Do you think you're the protagonist of this adventure game and everyone has to revolve around you?!"

Rencai instantly realized that she had "stepped on a landmine."

Her face froze, she lowered her head and scratched her hair, and hurriedly apologized: "Um... I'm sorry, I was presumptuous, I didn't know anything, I thought your band had disbanded..."

"Humph."

Xiaozhi snorted coldly and didn't bother with Rencai. "Our band is doing well. We chat in the group every day. They just have their own things to do."

Guitar Hero, also known as Pochi, is going to participate in the band's final performance; Chihaya Aine has now returned to Takamatsu Touma and the others; Meow Meng continues to go to school while managing her own self-media account.

As for Xiaozhi and Lupa, they both have their own work to do on weekdays.

In fact, it is not uncommon to see bands that only get together during performances, including Hiroi Kikuri and her group SickHack.

However, seeing Jing Qingren and the other band members gathered together and worked hard to prepare for the performance, Xiaozhi still found it difficult to hide his inner loneliness.

She also missed her band [Extension Cord] a little. It would be great if they could perform again...

She was silent for a moment, then quickly regained her composure. She returned her hands to the keyboard and said to Kawahara Momoka with a serious expression, "After the rehearsal just now, I discovered some problems with the arrangement of your song..."

As she spoke, she pointed out a series of detailed problems without mercy.

Unlike Hiroi Kikuri, who is picky about the emotional expression of songs, Xiaozhi focuses on precise technical details and structural optimization.

As she spoke, she demonstrated on the piano keys and gave Taoxiang some pointers.

Jing Qinrenai originally thought that Xiaozhi was deliberately looking for trouble, but when she saw Taoxiang nodding her head while listening, she knew that what Xiaozhi said was right.

Others don't know the reason and just think that Xiaozhi is a musical genius, but Hoshikawa Taku knows that this is the "hidden characteristics" that Xiaozhi acquired after signing the contract that are quietly playing a role.

[A Discerning Eye]: Satoshi Ebizuka possesses exceptionally keen artistic perception. She can quickly spot subtle flaws in stage performances, song arrangements, costumes, and other aspects, and offer precise optimization suggestions.

It is precisely this characteristic of Xiaozhi that allows the young Xiaozhi to sit firmly in the position of supervisor in the recording studio. Even those senior producers and strict musicians have to be convinced in front of her and call her "teacher".

As the arrangement of Momoka's song got better and better with her guidance, Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

He originally thought that he could take this opportunity to gather the five-member group of "Thornless" again, but now it seems that in Xiaozhi's heart, the "Extension Line" band is like the "white moonlight" in her heart, and she has no intention of abandoning the Extension Line band and reorganizing a new team.

The lead singer she recognized was not I Serina, but Chihaya Aine.

Speaking of Aine...

Hoshikawa Taku picked up his phone and looked at the message Aine sent him yesterday.

[Mr. Hoshikawa, our band "Mygo" will be having its first official performance at RING this Sunday. Please be sure to come and see it!]

Chapter 246 I could have endured the darkness.

Takamatsu Deng originally thought that after Aine enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention on the stage, she would never come back.

Unexpectedly, Aiyin still remembered her promise and returned to her after the music festival.

Takamatsu Deng was surprised and delighted, and took Aine to the aquarium.

There were not many people in the aquarium that day. The aqua-blue lights swayed on the glass wall like waves. The two watched the penguins swimming around in front of them.

It was in that dazzling illusion of the deep sea that Gao Songdeng came up with the name of the band - [Mygo]

We have all lost our way, but we must move forward together.

Looking at Takamatsu Deng's shy appearance like a penguin, Aiyin also made up her mind to form a band with her - not for a lifetime, but at least to perform on stage together once.

After returning to Mygo, Aiyin was naturally no longer the lead singer who was the center of attention.

In this team, there is no doubt that the position of the group's favorite belongs to Takamatsu Deng, and Aine has returned to being the guitarist in the band.

Compared to Kaname Rakuna's "lead guitar", Aion's "rhythm guitar" position is relatively dispensable and is the least noticeable part of the band.

When Aine came back, she was already prepared, so even though she felt disappointed, she quickly accepted it.

However, what really made her unbearable was not the change in position, but Shiina Riki's almost harsh attitude towards her.

"Here, I played it wrong!"

"You're too slow. Try to keep up with the pace. Haven't you eaten yet?"

"Why? Have you been the lead singer there for so long that you haven't practiced guitar at all?"

The cold tone was like a thin blade, piercing Aine's ears almost every day in the rehearsal room.

Shiina Riki always had a cold expression on his face, frowned slightly, and mocked her in a sarcastic tone.

Aiyin felt aggrieved.

Who said she didn't practice?

During her time in the band "Extension Line", in addition to devoting herself to learning singing techniques, she also consulted the pink-haired Ichiri Goto and the talented guitarist Elisa Shimizu on various fingerings and playing techniques.

Her guitar skills have improved by leaps and bounds compared to the past.

But in Shiina Riki's opinion, these are not worth mentioning, because the person she uses for comparison is - Kaname Rakuna.

In fact, Aine has never slacked off in her practice. During her free time at school every day, she also takes time out to practice guitar in Takamatsu Deng's astronomy club.

Her originally delicate fingers became red and swollen during practice, and she could only wrap them with layers of Band-Aids.

The Band-Aid was sent by Takamatsu Deng. It had a little penguin pattern printed on it. It looked funny and cute, and it could bring some gentle comfort to Aine.

However, perhaps it is these "penguin Band-Aids" that are the reason why Shiina Riki dislikes her.

Because...anyone with a discerning eye can see that Shiina Riki has a preference for Takamatsu Touma.

Shiina Riki's "harshness" is not only directed at Aine. Except for Takamatsu Teru, everyone is equally "pressured" by her.

She would scold Le Nai coldly for not showing up as scheduled for rehearsal and for always being elusive.

She would mercilessly criticize Nagasaki Suyo for always being distracted, being perfunctory about practice, and not being focused enough.

But when she faces Takamatsu Deng, she will have a completely different attitude - even if Deng makes singing mistakes due to some personal emotions, she can always find considerate reasons to excuse and comfort her.

That would be fine, but what torments Aiyin the most is that Riki has to revise the arrangement almost every day.

No matter how hard you practice today, you will probably have to start over again tomorrow.

Every note and every beat on the music score is always undergoing subtle changes - and if these key changes are missed, they will be criticized during rehearsal.

Of course, Aine knew that Riki would stay up late at night to revise the music scores after returning home, and he was indeed very serious and dedicated.

But...you can't take your anger out on her!

That is, Aine has a high tolerance level and is unwilling to vent her bad emotions to others.

Otherwise, Takamatsu Deng, who sat next to Aine in school, would be the most susceptible to the "kick the cat effect" and would be severely bullied by Aine.

In this depressing and high-pressure environment, Aiyin increasingly missed the time she spent in the band "Extension Line".

At the beginning, she couldn't even speak English well, but Hoshikawa Taku had full confidence in her. He ignored everyone's objections and let her be the lead singer. He even invited Kikuri Hiroi and Elisa Shimizu to give her one-on-one guidance.

In fact, there was no "against the majority" reason, every member of the band "Extension Cord" was very friendly to her.

Even though Pochi himself is a socially anxious person, he endures his desire to escape and always corrects her rhythm problems in a soft voice.

Miao Meng is her favorite beauty blogger, who teaches her how to draw eyeliner during every break.

Lupa was very gentle to her and helped her a lot in all aspects of life.

Even though Xiaozhi seemed aloof, he never got angry with her, not even once did he speak loudly to her.

That half month was the happiest and most stress-free time for Ain since she came back from England.

Aine suddenly thought of a sentence——

“I could have endured the darkness, if I had not seen the sun; but the sun has made my desolation a new desolation.”

Since the music festival ended, everyone has become very busy and has returned to their own lives.
