After being elected as the governor of Tokyo, he will debut as a band!

Li Xi didn't even glance at her, and directly exposed her.

"When Deng called me today, she said that she can handle the current training intensity."

"what?"

Su Shi's legs went weak, and she knelt down on the ground.

I finally mustered up the courage to speak up for you two, and you two betrayed me!

She could already sense a hint of annoyance in Xiangzi's eyes as he looked at her. This made her feel utterly helpless.

However, at that moment, a powerful voice appeared and saved her from her predicament.

"I agree with Su Shi's point of view!"

……

I never imagined that putting the letters F and M together could cause sensitivity.

"I agree with Su Shi's point of view!"

The one who produced such a deafening sound was none other than the guitar master, Ms. Chihaya Aine, who can play anything!

"Shut up." x2

Shoko Toyokawa and Motoyo Nagasaki both angrily rebuked her.

"Huh? It's one thing for Xiao Xiang to tell me to shut up, but Su Shi, I'm on your side! How can you do this to me too!?"

Chihaya Aine felt deeply hurt. She had only spoken up to express her agreement with Suze's point of view because she saw that Suze was in an awkward position.

As for her own thoughts...

Shoko's training plan was indeed very demanding, but Chihaya Aine spent most of her time learning guitar with Pochi and Nijika.

Being with these two adorable girls, even though her fingers hurt from pressing the strings, made her feel more relaxed mentally, so she didn't feel as tired as Su Shi, Li Xi, and Deng.

The only downside is that Kita's guitar skills are now good enough to meet the rhythm guitar needs of the band Linka, and she's even better than Kita. This makes it impossible for Kita to brag in front of the cute girls in Linka, and it makes Kita feel like she's lost about 49% of her soul.

On the other hand, "Xin Ku Lai Xi Ku" is different; she is the strongest guitarist in the band!

"Uh... because Chihaya's guitar skills do have a lot of room for improvement, I think the 6-hour daily guitar training plan that Sho has designed for you is quite reasonable."

Su Shi also realized that what she said was a bit inappropriate, and quickly offered an explanation, feeling guilty.

"Six hours of guitar playing a day? Do you guys think I'm a guitar hero?!"

Guitar Hero is a video streamer that Chihaya Aine follows, primarily updating videos of guitar playing. He is known for his superb guitar skills and his taciturn, cool and aloof personality.

Compared to Chihaya Aine

One of the high school students on the list who is keen on riding the wave of popularity is Guitar Hero. She hardly posts anything except guitar playing videos, but it is this purity that has given her channel lasting popularity and her video views have been increasing day by day. In addition, she often recommends songs that are suitable for playing with friends, and she seems to be a person with a very rich and colorful social life. Therefore, she has now become a well-known figure in the music-playing student community.

(By the way, Kita doesn't know Guitar Hero; she can be expelled from the high school music scene.)

"Oh... I know Guitar Hero teacher. She mentioned in a video that when she first started playing guitar, she practiced for more than six hours every day."

Although Su Shi doesn't pay much attention to internet celebrities, she inevitably talks about this topic with her classmates at school, so she has a basic understanding of internet celebrities like Guitar Hero or Meow Dream who are very popular among high school students.

"The plan that Xiao Xiang arranged for you is quite reasonable. If you can reach the level of Guitar Hero, you will definitely be able to meet the needs of the band's activities."

Su Shi naturally sided with Toyokawa Shoko, completely forgetting that just five minutes earlier she had been negotiating with Shoko using demands such as "reducing the intensity of rehearsals".

What a transformative woman!

Chihaya Aine looked at Nagasaki Motoyo, who had somehow appeared behind Shoko, looking like a virtuous wife, and felt that at least two parts of her body became hard.

"A Guitar Hero teacher's level? Su Shi, don't be ridiculous. Guitar Hero teacher's skills have been recognized by many professional musicians. Not only that, in real life, she is a super popular girl who is loved by both boys and girls at school, has a large number of fans, more than 1000 friends on Line, and her boyfriend is the ace of the school basketball team. If I could be half as good as her, I could probably debut as a high school student without any problem."

Ai Yin spoke these words with great confidence and conviction.

After all, in her mind, the band they had formed was the kind of band whose goal was to gain popularity among their classmates, to boast to others to satisfy their vanity, and to create beautiful friendships and campus memories during their student days. The most important thing was that everyone was happy. You want me to aim to be a high school musical prodigy who can debut at any time? Isn't that making things difficult for me?!

She thought her reasonable words would leave Toyokawa Shoko speechless, but Shoko frowned and then retorted with a cold remark:

"Chihaya-kun, what do you think my purpose was in helping Akari form this band?"

"Huh? Isn't it because you like it?"

"Like? What an arrogant word... Do you still remember the promise I made to Akari and Riki back in the Shinjuku Loft?"

Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Ritsuki, who was already engrossed in the music composed by Yashio Ruyuu-senpai with her headphones on. Ritsuki, sensing her gaze, frowned slightly, then reluctantly removed her headphones and said to the bewildered Chihaya Aine:

"Hey guitarist, are you really stupid or just pretending?"

"Why does Lixi have to say that about me too?!"

"Didn't Xiangzi say back then that she would help us plan rehearsals, arrange commercial activities, strive for more performance opportunities, and even help us contact composers to compose music? Do ordinary high school bands need to do all that? The original intention of this band was to debut!"

"what?"

Ai Yin was stunned for a moment before she reacted, then let out a laugh in an attempt to ease the awkwardness, "Debuting directly as a high school student? Isn't that a bit too ambitious? With just the few of us, it's too difficult to release a hit album, hold a concert in a large venue, or chart on Sportfy within three years, isn't it? Even Guitar Hero teacher can't do that."

"Three years? I'm sorry, Chihaya-kun, we don't have that much time for you. At most, we'll be performing on a stage of the Budokan level in three months."

Aine thought the idea of ​​a high school student debuting was outrageous enough, but she didn't expect that Toyokawa Shoko was a complete lunatic who actually planned to go to the Budokan in just three months.

She has been studying in the UK for almost three months now.

During those three months, she couldn't even correct her terrible English pronunciation.

Now look what's happened, you want to take me to a martial arts gym after only three months?

Am I worthy?

Aine felt like she was about to split open.

It is said that when people encounter things they cannot understand, they deceive themselves into believing that it is just a joke.

"Xiao Xiang, I never expected you to be such a joker!"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent, but together with Riki, they looked at her with the same eyes that seemed to regard her as mentally challenged.

Ai Yin stumbled back two steps, her guitar bag bumping against the doorknob of the rehearsal room.

Immediately afterwards, she turned around smoothly, flung open the door, and left without looking back.

"Gomena! I really can't do that!!! You'd better find someone else!!"

……

Wishing all readers a prosperous and fulfilling Year of the Snake!

"Chihaya-san ran away."

Looking at the half-open room door swaying back and forth, Su Shi said in a regretful voice.

However, there was no trace of regret in her eyes; instead, there was a smile of satisfaction.

"We don't have a guitarist now... Xiao Xiang, should we call Xiao Mu over?"

"..."

Xiangzi fell silent, a hint of annoyance appearing in his eyes.

Just how much does this person want to resurrect Ku Lai Xi Ku...?

"I've already said it, Xiao Mu isn't suitable for this band."

"But……"

"No buts, I'll figure out the guitarist's situation. You two should continue to optimize your stage performance according to the instructions on this form. I have other things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Toyokawa Shoko took out the sheet music, marked with performance issues and professional advice, from her handbag and handed it to Suze.

"Wait a minute, Xiao Xiang, practice can't go on if we only have a bassist and a drummer... If we don't have a guitarist, at least, at least give us a keyboardist!"

Su Shi took the opportunity to grab Xiangzi's hand, hoping to use the band's shortage of members as a chance to persuade Xiangzi to officially become a member of the band.

But she didn't know that this was precisely Xiangzi's minefield.

"Didn't I already say? I'm only helping the Light Band as an outsider. Nagasaki Motoyo, isn't it a bit inconsiderate of other people's feelings to make such a request?"

"But why? Xiao Xiang has already gone this far, so why is he unwilling to go back to being a keyboardist? Whether it's debuting as a band or performing on a large stage, if everyone works together, the results will be much better."

"Will we achieve better results if we unite and work together?"

Toyokawa Shoko turned her head away, closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them again, her gaze had become firm once more.

“Nagasaki Motoyo, if that’s really what you think, then stay by Akari’s side and help her.”

"But Xiao Xiang, I want to help you more."

"I'm fine on my own."

After saying that, Xiangzi shook off Su Shi's hand and left without looking back.

The practice room, which should have been filled with music, was now...

Silence remained.

If RinG's staff were to walk in right now, they would probably wonder if the two of them had mixed up the "loudroom" and the "practice room".

"Hey, do you want to continue practicing?"

Li Xi asked.

Su Shi didn't answer, but instead posed a question to her.

"Lixi, do you think our band is really important to Xiaoxiang?"

Shiina Tatsuki, of course, had no way of answering this question.

……

Shoko Toyokawa was in a hurry to leave because she still had a part-time job as a housekeeper to do.

This was a part-time job she took before her father was arrested. The work was easy, the pay was decent, and it even accepted minors. Most importantly, it didn't require her to show her face in public; she only needed to clean a large house in southern Suginami Ward every week.

The reason why Toyokawa Shoko was able to get this part-time job was that, in addition to the fact that the mansion was located in a remote area with no public transportation within a 3-kilometer radius, requiring people to walk or take a taxi to get there, there was also the rumor that the mansion was a haunted house, so many domestic workers at the time avoided it (this was actually a false rumor that Aoyama Muto had made up to ensure that the mansion could better help him hide in peace).

Xiao Xiang was able to accept it because she had already discovered that poor ghosts and drunkards were more terrifying than real ghosts... Now it seems that accepting this job was indeed the right decision. She has been working as a housekeeper in that mansion for more than two months and has not encountered any supernatural phenomena.

Although she has now received 3000 million yen in compensation from Shimakaze Financial and no longer needs to work to support herself and her father, on the one hand, her year of poverty has made her strongly averse to living off her savings; on the other hand, there is a Schulz grand piano in the mansion, and the owner of the mansion seems to not care if others play it, so she can enjoy playing the piano every time she comes to clean.

It's much safer than playing the piano in the school's orchestra room...

Xiangzi first took the tram to the housekeeping company to retrieve the key that the homeowner had left there. After a long walk, she finally arrived at the door of the mansion.

But as soon as she opened the door, she sensed something was wrong.

Why are the lights on in the living room and bathroom?

The owner of the house is back? I didn't hear the housekeeping company say that!

Should we leave directly or talk to the owner of the house before leaving?

"Hmm? Xiaodeng, did you just hear a door open? Could it be that Yizhen-ge is back?"

Toyokawa Shoko didn't know who "Yoshishin-san" was, but she felt that the voice sounded somewhat familiar.

And, small lights?

Is it a coincidence?

"Deng, you stay here and don't move. I'll go out and see if it's Yizhen-ge... What? You're worried that I might expose myself dressed like this? Don't worry, I'm completely uninhibited in front of Yizhen-ge, and there's a bath towel here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar figure darted out of the bathroom, wearing only a towel with a slipknot tied around its neck, clearly intending to expose itself to others.

This person is none other than Hiroi Kikuri.

"Hey? Little Sister Xiangzi, waaaaah..."

She was still wearing her worn-out wooden clogs, and because she hadn't dried herself properly when she came out of the bathroom, water was everywhere. As a result, when she ran towards Xiangzi, she slipped and fell to the ground with a thud.

Xiangzi's facial muscles tensed up immediately...

Why are you showing me this?!
