Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Hoshikawa Taku didn't ask any more questions, just thinking it was a little secret between girls.
"You don't have to worry about this matter about the audience."
Seeing that they were worried that no one would watch the band's performance, Hoshikawa Taku smiled and explained:
"There's a girl named Kita in Pochi's band. Like Pochi, she's also a student at the same school. She's very outgoing and popular with a lot of friends. Even if the band ends and loses its popularity, Kita's connections at school alone could still support a performance."
"What about Pochi? Does Pochi have any friends to make up the numbers?"
Xiaozhi asked.
"Pochi... She doesn't have any friends at school, and we are the only ones among her friends and family who can support her."
When Hoshikawa Taku said this, he felt a little sad for Pochi.
One is a popular boy who is welcomed by the whole school, while the other is a lonely boy without any friends. The difference is huge.
But, only now.
After Bochi's performance today, she will also become a well-known campus celebrity.
Let’s not discuss whether it is good or bad.
Chapter 133 Goto Erri's "God Assist"
There was still some time before the performance started, so Taku Hoshikawa decided to go and see how Pochi and the others were doing.
When he arrived backstage, Taku Hoshikawa found out from the staff where Pochi and the others were practicing.
He knocked on the door a few times, and it was Ichichi Seika who opened the door for him.
"Xingchuan, you're here."
When she saw Taku Hoshikawa coming, a smile immediately appeared on her face, and she pulled him in impatiently.
Pochi and the others seemed to have rehearsed enough and were currently taking a break.
Yamada Ryo and Nijiga were sitting on the sofa, laughing as they put the pink Nozuchi snake doll on their legs and "touched it all over", torturing the doll as if it were Pochi.
Pochi watched the doll that looked very similar to herself being attacked like this. She hid aside trembling, looking at them with panic on her face, afraid that they would use this "fingering technique" on her.
Kita was smiling and taking pictures from various angles with his mobile phone, as if he was planning to post this scene on the official account of the band.
"Mr. Hoshikawa, you're here!?"
Kita was the first to see Hoshikawa Taku. She put down her phone and came over enthusiastically, "Are you here to see our performance too?"
"Yes, I came here specially to cheer you on."
Hoshikawa Taku looked at the four little ones and said with a smile, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Let me see how you have grown."
Hongxia and Liang also raised their heads and politely greeted Hoshikawa Taku in turn.
Yamada Ryo always has a flat tone, and he was as cold as ever when greeting Hoshikawa Taku, as if he was seeing a stranger.
Pochi was hiding in the corner, not wanting to come over to say hello, but was forcibly dragged over by Ijichi Xingge.
"Pochi, Mr. Hoshikawa was the one who helped you take down the Nozuchi snake, so you just have to say a few words."
Pochi stammered as he greeted Hoshikawa Taku, like a college student who was forced by his parents to visit relatives during the New Year.
"Mr. Xingchuan, hello, hello...long time no see!"
It's not that Pochi is unfamiliar with Hoshikawa Taku, but because they are too familiar with each other, she tried her best to pretend that she is not familiar with Hoshikawa Taku in a stiff tone.
The tone of her greeting was strange, awkward and uneasy, but Pochi was always strange, so no one thought much of it, just thinking her social phobia was acting up again.
"Mr. Xingchuan, did Xiangzi come with you today?"
Kita asked expectantly.
Xiangzi had performed with them for the first time, and the band members who had left the band were all thinking about her.
"She didn't come."
Hoshikawa Taku shook his head with some regret, "She had something urgent to do today."
Today is Saturday, and it was originally agreed that Xiangzi would come along, but something suddenly happened to Xiangzi. He said that his "childhood sweetheart" wanted to see her, but he really couldn't spare the time.
The childhood sweetheart that Xiangzi mentioned was either Wakaba Mu or Sanjiao Chuhua, and both of them needed to be treated seriously. Xingchuan Taku expressed his understanding and did not force her to come over.
"It's okay. Even though she didn't come, I will record your performance and bring it back to show her."
Hoshikawa Taku shook the phone in his hand as he spoke.
Hong Xia seemed to remember something, looked up and said with a smile: "By the way, speaking of recording, Boqi's parents and sister are here. They also brought a DV camera and want to record our performance!"
"Really? Pochi's parents are here too, I must meet them then."
Hoshikawa Taku said this, but in fact, he had already met Pochi's parents a long time ago.
The contract between him and Pochi was signed with the unanimous consent of their entire family.
"Pochi, where are your parents now?"
Hoshikawa Taku asked Bochi.
He had been walking around with Ichichi Xingge all morning today, but hadn't run into Pochi's family, nor had he seen them at the gym just now.
Pochi took out his cell phone, lowered his head and sent a message to ask.
"They are heading this way. It will probably take them another five minutes."
"That's perfect, I'll go meet them. I really want to meet the parents who raised a talented guitarist like Pochi."
Hearing what Hoshikawa Taku said, Pochi's face suddenly turned red with embarrassment.
"I'll go too."
Seeing this, Yidizhi Xingge took the initiative and asked, "What if you recognize the wrong person?"
"Okay, let's go together."
Hoshikawa Taku nodded, glanced at the panda doll still on the Ichichi Star Singer, and jokingly said: "Xingge, isn't this doll meant for Hongxia? Why are you still holding it?"
"Hongxia is about to perform. I'll hold it for her first and give it to her when we get back."
She said this, but she secretly hid the doll behind her.
But Hong Xia had already heard this, and she said happily: "Sister, so this doll is for me, thank you so much!"
She took the doll from the Ichichi Star Singer and started playing with it lovingly.
It also makes it fight with the nomachu snake as if they were playing house.
Seeing his doll being ravaged in Hongxia's hands, Ichichi Xingge's heart was bleeding.
She quickly stopped them: "Okay, put the dolls away. The show is about to start. Stop playing with them!"
She collected the wild snake and panda dolls, put them in a bag, and told them to give them back after their performance.
She was worried that they would take it out and play with it after she left, so she walked out of the practice room with the bag and followed Taku Hoshikawa.
Hoshikawa Taku couldn't help laughing.
"what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, I just think you're cute like this."
"..."
Ijichi Xingge didn't say anything, but just quickened her pace and walked in front of Hoshikawa Taku, so as not to let him see her face which had turned red again with embarrassment.
At the entrance of the gymnasium, Taku Hoshikawa met Pochi's parents and Pochi's sister, Goto Jiri.
This whole family has pink hair, which is very eye-catching and impossible to mistake.
"Hello, you must be Goto Ichiri's parents, right? Hello, I'm Hoshikawa Taku, a talent scout for an idol agency. It's an honor to meet you!"
Taku Hoshikawa took the initiative to walk up and shake hands with Pochi's father, as if they were meeting for the first time.
"Well, Mr. Xingchuan, hello. I heard about you from my friend Ichiri. He said that you once saved a performance that was about to fail. You are a very capable person. He also said that he would like to work with you if there is a chance!"
Pochi's father also greeted Hoshikawa Taku warmly.
Last night, Taku Hoshikawa called Pochi's parents and told them that when they met today, they should pretend that they were meeting for the first time and not talk about anything related to Pochi's contract.
Pochi's parents naturally understand the ways of the world, and they know what to do. They cooperated with Hoshikawa Taku to perform this good show of "it's a pity that we met too late".
The only person I'm worried about is Goto Jiri.
When Hoshikawa Taku looked at her, he smiled and winked hintingly, fearing that the child would say something she shouldn't.
However, unlike Pochi, her sister Goto Jiri seemed to have high emotional intelligence and social skills. She also cooperated with a sweet smile: "Hoshikawa brother, my sister has been nagging you, saying that she wants to sign with your agency. I wonder if you will sign with me?"
"Of course I'm happy to sign them, but if I want to sign them... I still have to consult Xingge's opinion."
Hoshikawa Taku shrugged helplessly and looked at Ichichi Hoshika, "After all, the leader of the band is her sister..."
Ijichi Hoshige had also been to Pochi's house to meet her parents, and after a nod and a greeting, she explained:
"It's not that I don't want them to sign, but I feel that Hongxia and the others aren't strong enough to sign. The world of professional bands is very cruel. I hope they can lay a solid foundation before considering signing."
She glanced at Hoshikawa Taku, paused, and then promised Pochi's parents: "Don't worry, if I want to sign a contract, I will definitely give priority to Mr. Hoshikawa's office."
If it was before today, Yidizhi Xingge would never have made such a promise.
But today's interaction with Taku Hoshikawa gave her a new understanding of Taku Hoshikawa. She believed in Taku Hoshikawa's character, and Pochi and the others also had a good impression of Taku Hoshikawa.
Since we have to sign a contract anyway, we might as well give priority to Taku Hoshikawa.
If the conditions offered by Taku Hoshikawa are very bad, I will make a decision then.
What Ijichi Hoshige said was exactly what Hoshikawa Taku wanted. He secretly high-fived Pochi's father to thank him and Erli for their "assistance".
Especially Goto Jiri.
Erli's acting is so outstanding that there is no sense of acting at all. Even Hoshikawa Taku feels that she is playing herself, as if she has never seen herself before.
Hoshikawa Takuto suddenly felt a desire to appreciate talented people.
Erli is so talented. If she still has such excellent acting skills when she grows up, Taku Hoshikawa would like to sign her and let her "pursue her dream in the entertainment industry."
Maybe she can be more popular than her sister.
Chapter 134: Pochi showed a determined look.
"The band is over, it will be your turn to perform soon, so please prepare well."
After waiting for a long time, everyone in the band finally heard these words.
They cheered up and stood up.
"Is everyone ready?"
As the team leader, Hong Xia looked around at her teammates and encouraged them, "We've all been practicing for so long, there will be no problem. We just need to perform at our usual level!"
"Even so, I'm still a little nervous. After all, this is my first time performing in front of my classmates. It would be terrible if I messed up..."
Kita took deep breaths to calm himself down.
This time, there is no Toyokawa Shoko as their keyboard player to back them up, so they must perform stably enough.
Especially since she is the lead singer, she cannot afford to make any mistakes.
"Xiduo, you've made great progress. I believe you can do it."
After encouraging Kita, Hongxia looked at Pochi who was the most worried.
"Pochi, what about you, are you okay?"
"no problem!"
Pochi gripped the guitar tightly in his hand, his eyes showing a determined look.
Pochi is no longer the socially anxious girl who was afraid to even go on stage.
When she transformed into a guitar hero, she dared to play with abandon in front of hundreds of people. Those valuable performance experiences gave her the courage to show herself in front of the public.
Hongxia raised a smile and looked at Pochi with gentle eyes.
Pochi was obviously afraid to go on stage not long ago, I didn't expect her to grow so fast.
It was so great that I was able to capture Pochi, the lone guitarist, in the park...
