My fiancée Yukino

Then Luo Bai activated his memory and finally remembered that among the new students of Soubu High School this year, there were two other female protagonists, Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo.

Looking at the two approaching, Ichiji Hoshika sighed and said, "Just the two of you, how much more practice do you want?"

"Sigh... Anyway, no one's coming right now, let's practice a bit. Our guitarist can't make it today!"

As she spoke, Ichiji Nijika also noticed Luo Bai and the others.

"Oh, so we already have guests?"

Ichi Seika nodded: "Yes, this is our first time here. They bought tickets for all three shows this afternoon. So please don't bother our guest here."

"Oh dear, how could this happen!"

Hoshino Ai asked with interest, "Are you two also members of the band?"

Nijika Ijichi happily raised her hand: "That's right! Hello, I'm Nijika Ijichi, the drummer in the band!"

Yamada Ryo nodded and said in a somewhat indifferent tone, "Yamada Ryo, bassist."

"Hello, hello!" Hoshino Ai said happily. "You guys look like you're still in high school, right? You already have a band, that's amazing!"

Ichi Nijika scratched her head and said awkwardly, "Haha, no, not really. Our band only has three people right now. The lead singer and guitarist couldn't come today because of something, so we haven't been able to practice properly."

Then, Luo Bai saw Hoshino Ai looking at him eagerly.

Without hesitation, Luo Bai replied, "No, that's absolutely not allowed here. You should know that."

Let's go. ”

"Ugh... okay, I finally learned to play the guitar secretly, but I haven't even performed it in public yet."

Upon seeing that Hoshino Ai could play the guitar, Ichichi Nijika asked curiously, "Can you play the guitar?"

Hoshino Ai nodded and said, "Yes, I just started learning a few months ago, but I'm not very proficient yet compared to my piano."

Although Hoshino Ai said that, Luo Bai knew that this girl's level was definitely close to professional. It was just a pity that with her current status, she could watch performances, but it was still not appropriate for her to perform in a livehouse.

However, feeling Hoshino Ai tugging at his sleeve, Luo Bai sighed softly.

"Formal performances are out of the question, but practicing and having fun with them is fine, of course, provided they're willing."

"Great!"

Hoshino Ai cheered and then looked at Ijichi Nijika, "Is it okay?"

Ichiji Nijika didn't mind the other party's skill level. Since they wanted to do this, they must have some skill. So she excitedly said, "Then I'll trouble you, sister?"

What could Ichiji Hoshika do? The other party was a guest.

"Half an hour, you only have half an hour. The band will be here soon."

As soon as Hoshino Ai saw that the store manager had agreed, she immediately made an excuse to go out and get the guitar from the car. In reality, she ran out and took it out of her bracelet.

Holding her guitar, Hoshino Ai stood on the stage and said happily, "It's a little small, but it feels pretty good."

Then I remembered that I was wearing sunglasses.

Sticking out her tongue, Hoshino Ai looked at Luo Bai.

Luo Bai naturally understood what the girl meant, and looked at Ichiji Hoshika and said, "Manager, could you please close the shop for half an hour?"

"kindness?"

Ichishika looked at Luo Bai in confusion, and then heard her younger sister's exclamation from the other side of the stage.

"Oh! Hoshino Ai!"

Ijichi Seika stared at the girl who had taken off her hat and sunglasses, revealing her true face, and only after several seconds did she take a breath.

"I was just thinking, this girl's voice sounds familiar. Oh, it's Hoshino Ai. Okay, I got it. We'll close for half an hour then. We really have a very important customer."

As he spoke, he picked up a notice board, wrote down the opening hours, moved it to the shop entrance, and then locked the door.

On stage, Hoshino Ai adjusted her guitar and then looked at Ijichi Hoshika, asking, "Ijichi-senpai, what piece are you planning to play?"

After their conversation, Hoshino Ai realized that the two women were a year older than her, so she started calling them "senior."

Being called "senpai" by a popular singer like Hoshino Ai made Ijichi Hoshika feel a shiver run down her spine. She happily said, "Here, this is the song. Since we haven't written our own songs yet, we chose a popular band song."

After taking a look at the sheet music, Hoshino Ai smiled and said, "Oh, it's this song. I happen to know it too, so I'll take charge of the guitar part. But I won't sing it. I haven't practiced much today, and I don't want to embarrass myself."

Ichiji Nijika had no problem with this and happily said, "Of course! I'm already very happy to be able to practice with you, right, Ryo?"

Although Yamada Ryo, holding the bass, didn't show much expression, he still nodded in agreement.

Soon, the three of them began practicing.

Ichi Nijika also discovered that Hoshino Ai's guitar skills were really high, extremely impressive, almost on par with professional level.

I immediately encouraged myself, determined to do my best.

At the bar, Ijichi Hoshika was also surprised by Hoshino Ai's guitar skills, and said softly, "I didn't expect that Hoshino Ai, as a singer, would be so good at guitar. And I heard from her that she can also play the piano?"

Luo Bai nodded and said, "That's right. In addition to piano and guitar, she is also learning to write lyrics and compose music. Compared to idol singers, her goal is to become a professional singer."

"That's really impressive. You have such a clear goal. You're aiming to become an all-around singer." As she spoke, Ijichi Hoshika looked at Luo Bai and the others. "I heard that Hoshino Ai enrolled in Soubu High School. Looks like you're all in the same group?"

"Yes, Yukino and I are in our final year of high school, and Kanao is in the same class as Ai. But, your sister is quite talented too, shopkeeper. Playing the drums isn't easy to learn."

Ichika shook her head: "That girl is still far from good enough, and she hasn't even gathered all the band members yet."

Are they band members?

Luo Bai thought about it and figured it would be soon.

So, should I give them a push?

Volume 1: Chapter 545 The Performance in the Shop (1/2)

The practice ended half an hour later.

Hoshino Ai wiped the sweat from her forehead, happily ran downstairs, and took the juice that Luo Bai handed her.

"Thank you, Brother Luo Bai!"

Looking at the two girls who were still packing their things, Luo Bai asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Blinking, Hoshino Ai pondered for a moment before saying, "Not bad. Although it's their first collaboration, their fundamentals are quite solid. However, their ensemble playing isn't good enough yet, and they need more practice. But a band can only be evaluated when all members are present, and right now they only have two people."

Luo Bai smiled and said, "That's true. Let's wait and see. I'm quite optimistic about them, but just like you said, we'll have to wait until the band is fully formed before we can see."

Soon, Ijichi Nijika and Yamada Ryo also packed up their things and returned to the bar.

Seeing that her younger sister still wanted to rest, Ichiji Hoshika patted her on the head.

"Go open the door, the band is coming soon and we'll start selling tickets."

Covering her head, Ichika puffed out her cheeks in anger, but out of respect for her older sister's authority, she obediently walked to the stairs to open the door.

"Seriously, can't you let me rest for a bit?"

"Do you still want to continue practicing here?"

Upon hearing this, Ichiji Nijika was instantly speechless.

As for Yamada Ryo, he obediently moved the tables and chairs used for ticket sales to the hallway.

She also works here, helping to greet guests at the beginning of the show, buy tickets, and handle cashier duties.

While drinking her juice, Hoshino Ai tugged at Luo Bai's sleeve and said, "Luo Bai-ge, Nijika-senpai just told me that their guitarist who didn't come is also from Soubu High School. He's a freshman this year, just like me. His name is Kita Ikuyo. Didn't you see the list? Do you remember him?"

Luo Bai replied, "Yes, she's in Class 3 of the first year of high school. She's not in your class, so it's normal that you don't know her. I remember her photo on the student list; she's a red-haired girl, quite cute. How about it, want to get to know her?"

Hoshino Ai nodded: "Nijika-senpai just told me that their guitarist hasn't come to practice even once. He always says he's busy. Even today, he said he had something to do at the last minute, which makes me feel a bit strange. They have a performance next Friday, and he's in charge of the opening act. If he doesn't practice now, it will be too late. So I want to go and ask him what's going on."

Luo Bai reached out and ruffled Hoshino Ai's hair, then helped her put her hat on.

"Looks like you've made two new friends."

Hoshino Ai squinted her eyes happily: "Yes, they are all very interesting, and they are also very nice people, Ai can tell!"

"that

Okay, go ask on Monday. If it can't be resolved, come find me.

Hoshino Ai nodded happily, then looked at Yukino and asked, "Yukino-neechan, could this be considered a request from our club?"

Yukino smiled and shook her head: "You went to find it yourself, so it doesn't count. Just think of it as keeping yourself occupied, since you haven't been working lately anyway."

"Sigh... that's fine then."

For the rest of the time, no one planned to go out, so they simply stayed in the store drinking and chatting.

After a while, Ijichi Hoshika, who had nothing to do, also joined the chat, talking about interesting things that had happened in her shop before.

After recounting the story of a bassist who liked to sing while drunk, Ichiji Hoshika looked at Luo Bai and the others.

"Um, there's a question I'm not sure if I should ask."

Luo Bai blinked, put down the cola in her hand, and said with a smile, "You mean the thing between me and the three of them?"

Ichika nodded and looked at the group, saying, "The interaction between you just now makes it hard for me not to overthink things."

Luo Bai didn't hide anything and said directly, "It's just like you think. Our situation is a bit special. All three of them are my girlfriends. Well, you can keep it to yourself. Please don't tell anyone."

Ichika Hoshika blushed slightly and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Hoshino Ai laughed and said, "Hehe, were you startled? And let me tell you, Yukino-nee is the main heroine, Luo Bai-ge's childhood friend, and also his fiancée!"

Yukino then raised her hand and poked Ai's forehead: "What, you're not convinced?"

No, not at all~~~

Watching Yukino and Hoshino Ai interact, Ijichi Seika said, "You two have such a good relationship."

Yukino smiled and said, "There are many things in life that can't be explained, aren't there? Things just turn out this way without us even realizing it, but it's not so bad."

Although Ichika didn't understand, she still offered her blessings, since she was just a single person and didn't know anything about relationships.

As time went by, around 4 p.m., customers started coming in one after another, and the shop became lively.

And at 4:30, today's performance officially began.

Similar to what Ijichi Hoshika introduced at the beginning, the first band to perform had only been together for a short time. Although the songs and the lead singer were quite distinctive and were original compositions, they were still a little lacking in teamwork.

After the first band's performance, the performance level of the next two bands immediately improved. Even singers like Hoshino Ai thought it was pretty good and were happy throughout the entire performance.

However, Hoshino Ai did not think the other party was qualified, mainly because both bands were too old, both in their twenties.

At this age, unless someone is exceptionally talented and has developed a unique style, management companies generally won't consider them.

When the performance ended, it was already quite late, almost 7 p.m.

Rubbing her rumbling stomach, Hoshino Ai looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Brother Luo Bai, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

Since we said we'd be eating out for dinner tonight, there's probably no food prepared for them at home.

Luo Bai was also a little hungry at this moment, and nodded, saying, "Whatever you want to eat is fine."

Then, looking at Ichika Hoshika, she said, "I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight, let's all go out for a meal together."

Ijichi Hoshika hesitated for a moment, but since her younger sister Nijika and Yamada Ryo agreed immediately, she had no choice but to agree in the end.

"It's a waste."

After closing the shop, we found a well-reviewed izakaya nearby that Ijichi Hoshika and the others had visited, and had dinner together there.

While having dinner, taking advantage of the fact that they were in a private room, Hongxia happily took selfies with Hoshino Ai.

This person is also a fan of Ai Hoshino. She went to the concert at the beginning of the year, but she couldn't get an inner field ticket and her seat was a bit far from the stage.

Volume 1: Chapter 546 Kita Ikuyo (2/2)

Monday, school day.

Upon arriving at school, Hoshino Ai remembered her promise to Nijika the day before and decided to go to Kita Ikuyo to ask about the band.

After the first class ended, Hoshino Ai and Kanao went to the classroom door of Class 3, Grade 11 and said to a girl who happened to be walking out, "Excuse me, could you please call Kita Ikuyo for me?"

The girl was surprised that Hoshino Ai would talk to her. After a moment of excitement, she happily said, "No problem!"

Then, turning to the red-haired girl at the back of the classroom who was chatting with her classmates, she said, "Kita-kun, someone's looking for you! It's Hoshino Ai from Class 1!"

"Ugh?"
