Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Besides, she was a great contributor today, and Hoshikawa Taku didn't want to spoil her fun.

"cheers!"

Led by Hiroi, everyone raised their glasses and clinked them with Hiroi.

Hoshikawa Takuya casually clinked glasses with Hiroi, who came over eagerly.

After taking a sip, Hoshikawa Taku shook the cup gently and said casually, "Thank you all for your hard work today. The performance was well done, especially Pochi. His performance exceeded my expectations."

"Eh?!"

Pochi was about to take a sip of oolong tea, but when he heard this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed. A blush appeared on his cheeks, and he waved his hands helplessly.

"No, that's not the case...it's just that I performed a little better than usual..."

"What do you mean 'a little better than usual'?"

Hiroi Kikuri smirked, hooked her arm around Pochi's neck, and pulled her closer. "That was an explosive performance! Your guitar solo, wow, even I couldn't help but want to give in!"

"Is it really that exaggerated..."

Pochi muttered quietly, his ears almost burning.

"Of course!"

Hiroi grinned, then turned to look at Hoshikawa Taku, "Hey, Boss, since Pochi was so impressive today, shouldn't he get some extra rewards?"

"award?"

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows and looked at Pochi with a half-smile, "What do you want?"

Pochi was stunned by the question. He pinched the corner of his clothes with both hands, opened his mouth, and finally whispered: "Can... let me wear the Guitar Hero helmet for a while?"

Pochi's request was met with laughter.

Xingchuan Taku looked at her with a helpless look: "Pochi, that headgear is prepared for you, you can wear it whenever you want.

But I don’t recommend you bring it home, because Hongxia and the others might come to your house as guests, and it would be hard to explain if they were caught.”

"Yes!"

Pochi suddenly reacted and felt a little scared.

When she puts on the mask, she is a "guitar hero", but once she takes off the mask, she is still Ichiri Goto who ends the band.

It would be terrible if Hongxia and the others discovered my "dual identity"!

"Xiangzi, Xiaozhi, how's the situation over here?"

Hoshikawa Taku then looked at Xiangzi and the others and reminded them, "Today is Thursday. We will be rehearsing for the performance on Saturday. We only have one day left to prepare tomorrow."

When Xiangzi heard the topic turn to himself, his expression became a little serious.

"I've already mastered the song Sumimi is supposed to play. It should be up to par. Xiaozhi has approved it..."

However, Xiaozhi frowned and suddenly said, "Are you complacent with this level? The standard I mentioned is just to be able to go on stage and not drag down Master Sakamoto. But this opportunity is so hard to come by, don't you want to perform better?"

The corners of Xiangzi's mouth twitched slightly.

Xiangzi had been with Xiaozhi for a few days and had already understood her personality.

She is like a cat, you can only say what she says. If you contradict her, she will turn into Hakimi in the "Spineback Dragon" form and "breathe" at you.

Moreover, Xiangzi keenly sensed that for some reason, Xiaozhi was in a bad mood these past two days.

Xiangzi did not choose to refute, but nodded and agreed: "That's right, there is still one day tomorrow, I will keep practicing and perform better."

Xiangzi has taken three days off, so she can stay in the office early tomorrow morning.

When Xiaozhi heard her say this, he was speechless and drank his drink in a depressed mood.

Hoshikawa Taku casually asked, "Xiangzi, you asked for three days off. Is there any problem with the school? What excuse did you use?"

Xiangzi replied calmly, "I just said I wasn't feeling well and wanted to take a few days off. The teacher didn't say anything and agreed easily."

"Did your classmates call you to ask about it?"

Xiangzi's fingers tightened slightly for a moment, his eyes were a little vague, but he quickly regained his composure.

"No, I don't have many friends at school. They don't care if I'm absent, and they won't call me."

What Xiangzi said was both true and a lie.

In fact, someone had asked her about it, but that person was not her current classmate, but her "former classmate."

Also her former teammate, Nagasaki Suyo.

She didn't know how Su Shi knew about her leave, but he sent her several messages in a row.

[Xiangzi, why didn't you come to school? Are you sick?]

[How are you? If anything happens, feel free to contact me.]

[How are you doing lately? Can we chat?]

There were a lot of messages like this, but... Xiangzi never replied.

Xiangzi stared at the wine glass on the table, his fingertips gently stroking the rim of the glass, his eyes dim and unclear.

Why does Su Shi still care about what he is doing now?

Obviously she...she has already formed a new band.

……

Ps: The three-day bounty is over. Monthly tickets will add two more chapters, recommendation tickets will add two more chapters, and rewards and blades will add two more chapters, a total of six chapters.

I will update two chapters today, and there are four more to go.

Chapter 76: How about my C chord?

At the gate of Yugaoka Girls' Academy after school, the setting sun lengthened the shadows, and the warm orange afterglow fell on the fence, dyeing the air with a gentle color.

Nagasaki Suyo stood at the door, her fingers lightly gripping the straps of her schoolbag, her eyes occasionally glancing towards the school gate.

Today, she still didn't see the person she wanted to meet.

A certain vague expectation in her heart was once again dashed, and she sighed softly.

However, just as she was about to leave, a familiar but not particularly unwanted voice rang out.

"Sushi, are you here to wait for us?!"

With brisk footsteps, a pink-haired girl came bouncing over.

There was a bright and deliberate smile on her face, and her tone was deliberately high, mixed with a few deliberate coquettish tones.

She is Chihaya Aine.

Next to her was Takamatsu Deng, who was as weak as a small animal.

Su Shi was slightly startled, but her expression did not change. Then she smiled gently, as if she was used to this kind of scene, and replied softly: "Well, I was just waiting for you."

"Hey, no need to wait for us!"

Chihaya Aine smiled and leaned closer, her voice deliberately rising a few notes, "You've been standing here waiting for three days in a row, I'm almost embarrassed! A lot of people thought I transferred from that big girls' school in Tsuki no Mori!"

Although she said "sorry", the unconcealable pride on her face had already revealed that she actually enjoyed this kind of attention.

Su Shi smiled lightly, without exposing her "vanity", but cast his eyes on Gao Songdeng and asked softly: "Deng, Xiangzi still didn't come today?"

"Well, I found out. The teacher said Xiangzi was unwell and asked for a few days' leave."

Gao Songdeng nodded.

"Oh, are you talking about Xiangzi?"

Chihaya Aine came over and said with a smile, "There's nothing to worry about. Maybe she's just on her period these days."

There are a few days every month when girls feel unwell and many of them take leave.

"No, these days are not her menstrual period. Her menstrual period has been over for half a month."

Su Shi shook his head.

"Hey...Su Shi, you even know her menstrual period."

Su Shi thought to herself that something was wrong, and explained in a natural tone: "We were classmates and former teammates in the same school. It's no big deal for me to know about her menstrual period."

"That's it."

Chihaya Aine didn't get suspicious. She suggested, "If you're really worried about her, Suyo, you can send her a message."

Of course, Su Shi would not say that she had actually contacted Xiangzi a long time ago, but Xiangzi had never replied to her.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her eyelashes slightly and said lightly: "Xiangzi is still upset about the disbandment of CRYCHIC. She doesn't want to see me, and I don't want to disturb her suddenly."

When she heard "CRYCHIC", Gao Songdeng's expression darkened slightly, and she also thought of those bad memories.

Chihaya Aine didn't know about their past, so she wasn't affected at all. She said cheerfully, "Alright, alright, don't overthink it! It's not like she's missing anyway. She'll definitely show up in a few days!"

She stretched and waved to the two of them: "Let's go, let's go to RiNG to find Li Xi. Didn't we agree to meet up today?"

"Yeah, I'll be right there!"

Gao Songdeng turned around and followed her immediately, as if she was her little follower.

Su Shi glanced at the school gate, and an indescribable complex emotion emerged in the depths of his eyes.

Finally, she let out a light breath, put her thoughts aside, and followed the two of them.

RiNG is a large livehouse that not only has a performance hall that can accommodate hundreds of spectators, but also provides rehearsal rooms, recording studios and a cafe for musicians to communicate and rest.

Whether it is a newly started campus band or a professional musician who has already gained a certain reputation in the underground circle, this is where they often gather.

As soon as Nagasaki Suyo and the others stepped into RiNG, they heard the faint sounds of guitar strumming and drums coming from the training room.

Different bands are rehearsing, and the blending of various styles of music makes the entire Livehouse look vibrant.

The person they were looking for, Tatsuki Shiina, was busy standing behind the bar of the cafe. When he saw them come in, he handed over to the staff next to him and walked towards them.

"I've already opened the practice room, come over quickly."

Shiina Riki used her identity as a "shop assistant" to book a fully equipped practice room in advance, so that they could save the trouble of queuing and get into the state directly.

"Eh? Let's go straight to the training room? I still want to discuss our band name!"

Chihaya Aine said with some disappointment.

Although the band has been formed, the band's name has not yet been determined, and even each person's performance position has not been finalized.

We discussed this matter for a whole day yesterday, but there was no result.

"We can discuss this kind of thing anytime."

Li Xi said calmly, "Let's go to the training room first. I want to see your guitar skills, Chihaya."

Chihaya Aine has always been clamoring to be the guitarist and lead singer, but Lixi has never seen her actually play the guitar.

"Hehe, then you're in for a treat!"

After entering the training room, Chihaya Aine picked up her guitar with great confidence, sat down with her legs crossed, and plucked the strings casually.

Then, he started playing confidently in front of everyone.

Riki originally thought that Chihaya Aine would seriously demonstrate her superb skills, but she started playing a C chord while shaking her legs.

Intermittent notes floated in the air, the fingers had uneven strength, the chords were pressed crookedly, the sound was muffled and there was noise.

However, she seemed unaware of it and raised her head with a smug look on her face: "How's it? My C chord!"

She seemed to really think she was very powerful.

Li Xi looked at her expressionlessly.

Nagasaki Suyo gave a businesslike smile, but her eyes revealed a hint of embarrassment that was difficult to conceal: "Um...Aine, do you know anything else?"

"G chord or A minor are fine, oh, and F chord too!"

As she spoke, Chihaya Aine confidently demonstrated the F chord.

however--

As soon as her fingers pressed the strings, she didn't press hard enough, resulting in the wrong position, and the sound produced was mixed with noise and inharmonious staccato.

"No way..."
