Girl idols are meant to be exploited!

Hoshikawa Taku withdrew his thoughts and tapped the table lightly to draw Pochi's attention back.

"Pochi, go get ready now and go to the studio to record a video with Hiroi later."

After a day of fermentation, the video of the Shibuya street performance has become a hit.

In addition to admiring and being curious about the identities of the guitar heroes, many audiences also wanted to know what the original song they sang was.

Now is the time to strike while the iron is hot and we must release the official studio version of the song as soon as possible.

When he heard that they were going to record a song, Pochi's eyes lit up instantly and he became excited: "If we are going to record a song, can I wear a headgear and perform?"

"Of course, since the songs are being released under the name 'Guitar Hero', you have to wear a mask."

Hoshikawa Taku nodded, a smile on his face, "Let's go, Hiroi is already waiting in the recording studio."

When Hoshikawa Taku brought Pochi to the recording studio, Shoko, Satoshi, Lupa and others were present.

In order to make room, Xiangzi's piano was temporarily pushed out of the studio, and replaced by Hiroi Kikuri who stood there with the bass.

There were conditions for letting Kikuri Hiroi participate in the recording. Taku Hoshikawa paid her a fee of 50,000 yen and also promised to cover her drinking expenses tonight.

Although it costs a lot of money, considering the popularity of the video, this investment is definitely worth it.

After Pochi also entered the recording studio to prepare, Hoshikawa Taku's eyes fell on Shoko.

"Xiangzi, we have a rehearsal tomorrow. How are your preparations going?"

"I'm OK."

Xiangzi took a deep breath and nodded seriously.

Ever since he learned that he was going to perform on stage, Xiangzi took leave and stayed in the office to practice.

After three days of intensive practice, Xiangzi felt that she had met the standards to go on stage. In the past few days, Xiaozhi had found fewer and fewer faults with her.

"Xiaozhi, what do you think?"

Hoshikawa Taku turned to ask Xiaozhi.

What surprised Hoshikawa Taku was that Xiaozhi actually praised him for the first time.

"As long as Xiangzi can perform at the level she performed in the studio, at least on this song she won't be too far behind Master Sakamoto, and it shouldn't be difficult to win the audience's praise."

Hoshikawa Taku raised his eyebrows: "Oh? You actually praised her?"

Xiaozhi snorted and crossed his arms. "Why are you looking at me? She's going on stage tomorrow. Would I embarrass Master Sakamoto by saying she was a complete mess?"

She paused slightly and added, "I will point out shortcomings, but I will also be generous with my praise when it's due."

Xingchuan Taku couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and rubbed Xiaozhi's head, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Not bad, you've grown up."

"I'm just speaking the truth!"

Xiaozhi slapped his hand away and snorted stubbornly, but his cheeks flushed slightly.

Soon, Hiroi and Pochi in the studio indicated that they were ready and could start recording.

Xiaozhi will be responsible for the sound at the console, while Lupa will be responsible for shooting the video.

Inside the recording studio, the lighting is soft and professional-grade equipment surrounds it.

Boqi took a deep breath, stood in front of the microphone, slightly adjusted his black guitar headband, and held the guitar tightly with both hands.

"Guitar Hero, are you ready?"

Hiroi asked with a chuckle.

Pochi nodded slightly, gripping the guitar tightly, his fingertips trembling slightly, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.

Recording, start!

Chapter 80: Hiroi Kikuri is getting more and more demanding.

The work in the recording studio was successfully completed, the song was produced, and the video material was shot, just waiting to be edited and released.

Kikuri Hiroi performed very well. As soon as she came out of the recording studio, she insisted on pulling Taku Hoshikawa over and asking him to treat her to a drink.

In order to reward her, Taku Hoshikawa took her to an izakaya.

Originally, Taku Hoshikawa planned to bring other people along, but since they had just had a dinner together yesterday, everyone had their own plans for tomorrow, and not everyone was like Hiroi, who could get drunk in the bar without a care in the world.

In the end, today's drinking party became a private gathering for the two of them.

In the izakaya, hot snacks filled the table, beer foam overflowed from the rim of the cup, and the air was filled with the slightly tipsy aroma of alcohol.

After drinking just a few glasses, Hiroi's cheeks flushed slightly and he completely relaxed.

She shook her wine glass and said to Hoshikawa Taku with a smile: "Hashikawa, you know what? After the video went viral, suddenly a lot of friends contacted me, praising my performance and envying me for finally becoming famous."

"They also asked me about my identity, both overtly and covertly, and asked me who Guitar Hero was and whether I had signed with an agency."

Hiroi only wore a pair of sunglasses in the video, making her easily recognizable to those familiar with her, but Pochi was wearing a hood the entire time, and her identity remained a mystery.

So, everyone's attention was focused on Hiroi, trying to get information from her.

There are friends who play music together, livehouse owners, and even some scouts from agencies.

They all want to know the identity of the guitar hero and recruit her into the group.

"How did they ask?"

Hoshikawa Taku took a sip of his wine calmly.

"It's the same old trick. He pretends to care about me and then turns the conversation to Guitar Hero."

Hiroi shrugged.

"Did you say that?"

"How could I possibly tell you? I keep my mouth shut!"

Hiroi boasted proudly for a while, then said with some distress, "I've fooled everyone else, but my teammate Shima knows I drank with you a few days ago, and she suspects that Guitar Hero is an artist under your agency..."

"I didn't say that, Shima guessed it!"

Hiroi hurriedly explained.

Shima Iwashita is the drummer of Hiroi Kikuri's band. She has a calm and thoughtful personality. After talking with Taku Hoshikawa before, it was easy for her to guess that Hiroi's street performances were the work of Taku Hoshikawa.

"She guessed it was me, so did she intend to make it public?"

"No, Shima just said he wanted to see you."

Hiroi scratched his head, not knowing why Shima wanted to see Hoshikawa Taku.

"See me, when?"

"It depends on your time."

Hoshigawa Taku thought for a moment, took out two concert tickets from his pocket and pushed them in front of Hiroi.

"These are Sumimi's concert tickets. I gave you one before, and the remaining two are for your two teammates. After the concert, I can meet up with Shima."

He had five tickets in his hand, and gave one each to Lupa, Xiaozhi and Hiroi. He had two tickets left that he had no place to use, so he could use them to increase their favorability.

Hiroi's eyes lit up, but soon a painful expression appeared on his face.

"Hey—giving this to them is such a waste! Do you know how much beer these two tickets can be exchanged for?"

Hoshikawa Taku glared at Hiroi.

"If you want to sell it, sell the one I gave you. You have to deliver the tickets to the other two."

Guangjing shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly: "Just kidding, I will deliver it."

But although she said this, her eyes were fixed on the two tickets, as if she was still calculating how many draft beers she could exchange them for.

Seeing this, Hoshikawa Taku raised his hand and gently tapped her forehead.

"If you dare to sell it, don't even think about drinking my wine anymore."

Guangjing immediately covered his forehead and glared at him angrily: "Okay, okay, I get it, I won't sell it... I won't sell it!!"

Since Hoshikawa Taku had to go to the live rehearsal tomorrow morning, he didn't drink much, so he hurriedly paid the bill early and left Hiroi to drink alone.

It's still early today, so it's okay to let Hiroi go back alone.

After returning home and taking a shower, Hoshikawa Taku just changed into loose pajamas and was about to have a good rest when he heard a knock on the door.

He opened the door, and standing there was the drunk Hiroi Kikuri, who reeked of alcohol.

"Why are you here again?"

Hoshikawa Taku looked at her speechlessly.

"I'm here to take a shower. I have a concert tomorrow, and I can't go there smelling like alcohol!"

Hiroi Kikuri argued convincingly.

"Then why don't you go to your teammates' houses? Wouldn't that be a great opportunity to give them the tickets?"

"Because you're close here."

She looked as if it was a matter of course.

"..."

Taku Hoshikawa was speechless for a moment, but finally stepped aside to open the door.

As soon as Hiroi entered the door, he went straight to the refrigerator with skill, as skilled as if he were at home.

"Haven't you had enough to drink yet?"

Hoshikawa Taku grabbed her collar and pushed her towards the bathroom, "Hurry up and take a shower and leave!"

Guangjing agreed verbally, but who knew that after she took a shower, she started to throw a tantrum again, making all kinds of excuses saying that she was scared to go home alone late at night.

"Oh, it's so scary to go home alone... The road is so dark at night, it's so dangerous for a girl like me!"

"Didn't you often walk home drunk at night before?"

"It's different from before. The moonlight tonight is... so dark."

She blinked her drunken eyes, with an expression that said, "I'm so pitiful, please take me in."

Taku Hoshikawa really wanted to throw this overbearing guy out, but thinking of the great contributions she had made to him in the past few days, he allowed her to continue sleeping in the guest room tonight.

He went back to his room early to sleep.

Early in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time, and Taku Hoshikawa walked out of the room yawning. However, when he stepped into the living room, his footsteps paused.

The scene before him made his temples throb twice—

The coffee table was filled with empty wine bottles scattered all over the place, as if a small banquet had been held here last night.

The culprit, Hiroi Kikuri, actually fell directly on the sofa and slept soundly, not even bothering to go to the guest room.

This guy... really treats his home as a free tavern, doesn't he?!

Hoshikawa Taku was furious and walked over angrily, wanting to wake Hiroi up, but seeing her sleeping soundly on the sofa, he felt a little reluctant.

Hiroi Kikuri curled up into a ball, with her bare feet casually placed on the armrest, slightly bent, revealing her slender and well-proportioned curves.

Her slender fingers unconsciously hooked a strand of loose hair, and the slightly messy black hair scattered beside her cheeks, reflecting a bit of the lingering blush after being drunk.

Her lips were slightly parted, her breathing was shallow, with a slightly drunken warm breath, and she murmured something from time to time, as if she was dreaming, or as if she was acting coquettishly.

It's not like Hoshikawa Taku had never seen Hiroi Kikuri drunk before, but for her to fall defenselessly on the sofa in her own home like this, without even a hint of caution... this was too defenseless.

Hoshikawa Taku looked down along her smooth shoulder line, and suddenly felt his throat a little dry.

It was early in the morning and he was already angry. Seeing such an ambiguous scene, Taku Hoshikawa could hardly hold back.

He really wanted to teach this "deserving a lesson" a lesson and let her know what it meant to show such a defenseless look in a man's room.

Taku Hoshikawa thought so and even did so, and he was getting closer and closer to Hiroi.

Even if you can't eat meat, it's okay to take advantage a little, right?

Just as Hoshikawa Takuma was about to make his move, he suddenly discovered that Hiroi Kikuri's eyelashes were trembling slightly and her body was shaking slightly.

This guy... is actually pretending to be asleep?

I found out that she was still pretending to be asleep when I arrived. What did she mean?

Did she tacitly consent to my closeness to her, or was she like a child who had made a mistake and thought that she could escape punishment from adults by pretending to be asleep?
