The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

If you are a casual person, then you can teach casually. If you are planning to take exams, learn talents and participate in performances, then you should be a little more serious.

If it's interesting -

"Because kirakira☆dokidoki!"

"...very detailed."

......

...

..

"I see, that's how it is..."

After Arisaki and Kasumi's explanation, Hirayuko roughly understood what had happened.

When he was young, he and his sister Asuka heard the sound of stars (Star Beat) while camping, and he has been looking for sparkling and heart-warming things (Kirakira dokidoki).

One day on the way home from school, he saw some star stickers on the roadside, so he immediately turned into a star-chasing maniac and found Ryuseido Pawnshop where Arisaki Ichigaya was.

I accidentally entered the White Tiger Hall (crossed out)... Meteor Hall, and then saw the star-shaped guitar Random Star in the warehouse, and I immediately fell in love with it.

Then, just like in a bishoujo game, Kasumi was discovered by Arisaki and mistaken for a thief. After the misunderstanding was resolved, their relationship gradually developed, and in the end, Kasumi bought the guitar at a price of 500 yen, which was higher than the 50 yen paid by Hirayama.

Finally, Arisaki, who knew that Hirayuko had taught several classes of students, asked him to come out and become a teacher...

"...What kind of story is this about a beautiful girl? No, although it is indeed a beautiful girl—"

"So what happened in the end?" Arisaki asked.

"Well...ok, but I have one condition."

Hiranobu raised a finger, but for some reason, Arisaki glared at him again.

Yusaki Ichigaya: That’s so mean. I’m going to glare at you with my glasses!

Chapter 14 Anyway, let’s go see a show first!

"I don't know yet, but if you're planning on forming a band, I can introduce you to a drummer... on these terms."

Hiranobu waved his finger and then stated this condition, which was somewhat unexpected to Toyama Kasumi. Ichigaya Yusaki probably guessed it but said nothing. After all, such matters depended on the opinions of the parties involved, both sides.

"And here are the complete set of teaching materials and photocopies of my notebooks, from beginner to professional level. Just learn step by step at your own pace."

"Wow, a ninja maid!" Kasumi looked at Delta who suddenly appeared in surprise.

"...I'd love to teach you personally if I could, but I'm really busy lately. Sorry."

Pingxin spread his hands. He wasn't lying. Trying to maintain a balanced relationship with multiple girlfriends had already consumed a great deal of time and energy, and now he had to add the job of idol producer to the mix. If it weren't for the ripples and the magnetic field strengthening his body, he might have died suddenly or from dehydration.

"Well, thank you!" Kasumi thanked her frankly.

"If you knew you were busy, you shouldn't have messed around in the first place!... But thank you so much for this time."

Arisaki didn't express her thanks very sincerely. Actually, there were many things she wanted to thank him for, but if she said them one by one, she wouldn't be able to leave today. Besides, it was too difficult to get a tsundere to say something nice in front of others.

"But if I want to learn guitar, what should I do first?"

Although the book contains a lot of information about techniques, it is only about techniques, and what Kasumi wants to know is what lies beyond that...

It was like something shiny and heart-warming (Kirakira, dokidoki) that she was after, something she should do.

"Well... let's go to the livehouse and watch a show first!" Ping Xin snapped his fingers.

"What does livehouse mean...?"

"Let Arisaki take you there, to SPACE or something.——"

After all, if I don't go now, I may never be able to go again. Although the boss is indeed at the age of retirement, it is really hard to lose a pillar of the family... I should find a way to "rehire" her later, using [that plan]

"...Huh? Why would I—"

"So do you want Kasumi to come with me? Of course you can... but are you sure?"

"......I see."

Tsundere otaku Arisaki said, "I really don't want to go, but now I have no choice but to go!"

Stay away from scumbags, Kasumi!!!

"Haha, I'll leave it to you then... To be honest, I'm busy with my plans lately, so this is a huge help~"

"...You were the one who helped me, yet you still say it was a big help. You really are (whispering)"

Ping Xin pretended not to hear, turned around and waved goodbye, then left here in a leisurely manner.

"For the sake of my image, I'd better not tell them I'm going out with Toru and the others this time~"

......

...

..

“Okay, that’s it… We came to the livehouse CiRCLE today to find some inspiration!”

"...Who are you talking to? And why are we being taken up by you when we clearly don't have any work today?"

Today, Higuchi Enka is also in full AT stance (Wall of Heart). By the way, is it because she is used to talking when she is working (wearing a hood), so she forgot that she won’t talk to "me" now?

"I just think everyone needs a break after the morning training session, and coming here can be a good place to learn while enjoying the audio-visual experience.

Besides that, I will cover lunch, entertainment and afternoon tea. If you want to join me, please let me know your response.”

"Good~"

Asakura Toru was the first to raise his hand, completely unafraid of Enka's gaze. After all, they had been seen countless times since they were little, even naked, so it was no longer surprising.

"Good~"

Ichikawa Hina also raised her hand at the first moment, because it seemed like something that could make her happy. Plus, her favorite Toru was also going to participate, so there was no reason not to go. The Freedom Group would do a great job.

"Enka-chan, don't you want to go...?"

Fukumaru Koito looked at Enka with moist eyes. In fact, she was very happy to have the opportunity to be with everyone.

Because everyone goes their own way during school days, although Hinana would run to Toru every day, the timid Koito couldn't do that. Since they were a grade apart, they didn't have much interaction at school.

On weekends, she wasn't always able to get together with everyone; sometimes, due to different schedules, everyone would be scattered. In short, we could see each other, but not often, and the opportunities for the four of us to do things together weren't as frequent as everyone imagined.

"Yeah, yeah, why not? I think after watching this performance, maybe everyone will get a sense of something, spark some aspirations for idols and center stage... And it would definitely be good for Koito too, maybe she'll figure out what kind of idol she wants to be."

Although she knew that Hirayukobu was deliberately looking for an excuse to keep her, Enka had to admit that he was indeed an expert at making excuses. In the end, she could only reluctantly say, "...If I get bored, I'll leave."

"Hmm... Enka-chan, let's all come and watch!"

In short, it was passed unanimously.

In order to get a good seat in advance, Pingxin calculated the time when the previous show would end. So the five of them drank tea and chatted together, and after more than ten minutes, they went straight into the venue to get a good seat.

"Then you four can watch from here. Frankly speaking, I'm not used to crowds, so I'll just stay at the back and watch. I have good eyesight, so I can see everything clearly."

"?"

As soon as these words left her mouth, Higuchi Enka was a bit flustered. Logically, shouldn't you have been persistent, then pursued me after I sternly rejected you? How come at this point, you still don't want either of us?!

Doubts arose in her mind.

"Eh... aren't we going together?" The smile on Asakura Toru's face suddenly disappeared.

"But if the producers are together, Hina (I) will definitely be happier~!"

"Y-yes, if we're all together, we definitely will!... But if it really gets uncomfortable, Shin-chan should stay in the back, right?"

Enka thought she understood. This was hard-to-get tactics! And it was of a very high level!

Don't be fooled by him!!!

Hirayuko just smiled and shook his head, then went to the back row without explaining anything. After all, maybe my favorite music and the atmosphere at the concert had become my weaknesses, something I couldn't bring myself to say...

After adjusting his mood, Pingxin looked forward. This place guaranteed that he could see the four people and the performance on the stage. After all, today was Roselia's first solo live performance in a long time, so he had to watch carefully and listen attentively.

......

...

..

"They...are amazing."

"Um...is her name Roselia?"

Asakura Toru is probably a little more serious now than before, and when it comes to idols—

If one has to reach this level to attract other people's attention, then she and they are far from enough now.

Chapter 15 Family Restaurant & Tutoring

"Okay, so let's all study together today!"

"Hey..Aren't you here to eat?"

Asakura Toru's smile suddenly vanished upon hearing Hirayukoshi's words. "We're sitting in a private room at Tokyo's premier culinary institution, Senryukaku, and you're telling me this?"

"Is it better to study before eating? After eating, when you're full, blood will be concentrated in the stomach for digestion, which will reduce your brain's ability to think."

"Eh~~...But Hina (me) clearly came here with the hope of believing in the production team, but I didn't expect you to still be studying~"

Hina Ichikawa felt "bored", and boring people usually don't stay in her memory for too long.

"Okay, anyway, let's get our homework out first... How about this, if it's finished early, we can all take a walk together after dinner, and then go to karaoke - by the way, there's also Hina and a special dessert that everyone has never had before~?"

Just like a kindergarten teacher who patiently guides people, Ping Xin is usually enthusiastic and tolerant towards the people he is responsible for. Although he respects the other party's will, this does not prevent him from inducing them to change.

“Ahaha? Really?!”

Hinana, who was lying on the table, picked up her schoolbag after hearing this, feeling a bit like "not seeing the rabbit, not the eagle". Sure enough, it was still the bond... or was it the lack of [trust]?

"Hmm... Old Li's ancestor was a chef in the palace. Today we can taste some snacks that were once only available to the emperor and his concubines. It can be considered a way to broaden our horizons, right?"

Seeing that Toru Asakura and Hina Ichikawa both silently took out their homework, Higuchi Enka couldn't help but sigh and then took out her own homework.

"By the way, I've contacted your principal. As long as your grades are good enough, you can go out flexibly during the school day... In short, if you have work, go out, or just want to slack off, just say hello and you can go - so, are there any good kids who want to study with me now~?"

Whose good kid would skip class for no reason? Enka's face showed no joy or sadness, but her heart was filled with the desire to complain about him and the other two who were getting excited.

"Hmm... I have to learn now."

Even though it's fine anywhere, and Asakura Toru isn't some lazy guy who only wants to slack off, if his grades are good, we can just go out together on weekdays, right?

"Ahaha~ If I can leave school early, won't it be easier for Hina (me) to queue up?"

Ichikawa Hina has never cared much about the "outside world." But if she can be late without being marked, leave school early, and work outside on weekdays and then play together, she'll be very happy!

"Although, although I'm happy that everyone can study hard, but saying this—"

Fukumaru Koito, a common-sense person, hesitated and opened the notebook without writing anything. Although she knew that Hiraishin's approach had good intentions and would have good results, she still felt a little...

"Koito, there's no need to overthink things like this, okay? I've already discussed this with the principal... It might be annoying at times, but school life will definitely become an important part of your life. I'm not encouraging you to skip school or anything like that, I'm just giving you the option."

"...Utter sophistry, Mr. Trickster."

Enka finally couldn't help but speak. Although she knew that the appearance of this man would disrupt their "daily life", she didn't want their personalities to be polluted and degraded.

"Well... if you don't want to, that's fine with me. I'll just teach Koito individually. You all know her family situation. I had to work really hard to snatch her time from the private school. This monthly exam is a crucial time, okay?"

"..."

He's clearly using Koito as a cover, speaking so righteously... No, is this his true intention? Or is it a mix of both?

...Higuchi Enka found that she might never have understood this man, just like why he left the other four and went to the last row alone when they went to the livehouse last week.

Although Roselia's performance that day was wonderful, she had been thinking about this problem, but at one point she suddenly figured it out -
