The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"It's not a question of money...it's a question of quality."

"But didn't we let them play before..."

"That's a special service prepared for you to make beautiful memories... But I'm not like someone who has an endless amount of kindness."

Ijichi Xingge glanced at Ping Xin, who spread his hands helplessly.

You are the boss here and you have the final say.

“Leaving good memories?”

"I usually audition the band's sample music first, don't you know that?"

"That's right... That's right—"

Yijizhi Hongxia knew it very well. How many years do you think she has been helping here?

"I'm sorry, but there's no one to help you with your rhythm after that man left. If your performance level remains the same as your first time, I won't allow you to go on stage."

The End Band is indeed a band where each member has his or her own strengths, but it is precisely because of their strong personalities that it is difficult to blend together in a short period of time.

But there was one person who did it, and did it for a long time.

That is Asuka Maheishin, the scumbag who suddenly appeared nearby one day and would appear next to her sister from time to time.

Although she has great "trust" in Hirayuko's personality, she believes even more in this man's ability. Without someone to make eye contact, clap the beat, and stabilize the group's morale during the performance, will they still be able to perform at their current level?

Yijizhi Xingge felt that this was a difficult task. Although it might be possible to do it in the future, the team had only been established for about two weeks, and there might not be much progress even from May to June.

After all, it's just an amateur band formed by students in their spare time. If it's just for fun, it won't be too hard to give up.

But if they have tried hard, suffered, but ultimately failed, this shadow and setback will accompany them throughout their lives and become an unhealable trauma.

So even if her important sister might dislike her, Ichichi Hoshika had to do this. She had to do this...

So, how will Ijichi Hongxia react?

"You're the type who still needs to hold your baby in your arms to fall asleep even at this age—!"

"Ah, he ran away after saying something harsh..."

But is this considered harsh?

Pingxin was not very clear, maybe this was the harsh words in the eyes of an angel. It was nothing in front of the national quintessence of Yan Country. After all, it was difficult for anyone to surpass Yan Country in terms of laning culture alone.

"...Is this okay? Although you're doing this for her own good, your method is terrible. People who like to do this kind of thing will regret it for the rest of their lives—"

"...It's none of your business."

Ijichi Hoshige retorted to Hirayuko.

You drove your sister away and now you blame me?

Fortunately, Liang always stands on Pingxin's side: "The dolls she just mentioned, are they referring to these two old rabbits and pandas?"

"Ah, that's cute."

Even the PA lady who had been silent just now came to join in the fun.

"Liang, send the stuff to me."

"OK~"

"Delete this picture for me, immediately!"

Chapter 95 The store manager asked me to give you a message

"What are you guys still doing? You need to go after her quickly!"

It seems that the most normal person in the team at the moment is Kita Ikuyo, and at this moment she is pushing Yamada Ryo, who looks reluctant and annoyed, to pursue, and she also calls out to Goto Ichiri, who is standing there at a loss.

"...holding Huang on the left and Cang on the right?"

A cold-blooded eagle, but besides her good looks, she's also a pure burden. A submissive dog, if you pull her, she'll go with you. Exactly the same.

"Wait a minute, Pochi-chan."

"I, I'm here!"

Ijichi Hoshika called Goto Ichiri over, said something to her, and then let her chase after the others.

"So, tsundere really is..."

"The only thing I don't want is for you to say that."

Xingge glared at Pingxin and turned her head to continue typing on her notebook, but if she walked over, she would see a blank document in front of her.

As time passed, can after can of strawberry milk was drunk, crushed and squeezed. It turned out that humans like to eat when they are in a bad mood, and they generally prefer sweet food.

"Hey, can I have one?"

"Why don't you ask before you drink... Never mind, whatever you want."

Mainly because it's too troublesome to deal with tsundere, so just go ahead and do it. The result will be the same anyway.

"It's not pleasant to play the villain, right? Especially in front of the people you like, love, and are important to you."

“…so annoying.”

"That's why Hong Xia described you as [arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and a little bit coquettish~] -... Oh, why are you here to elbow me too?"

Ijichi Hoshige tried to snatch the strawberry milk from Hirayobu's hand but was easily dodged. Hirayobu even patted her shoulder with a smile, but was actually wondering in his heart whether a major change had occurred.

"Hongxia is a precocious child with pure innocence and kindness. Although she looks small from all angles, she is actually half an adult."

"..."

"So I'm going to give you some irresponsible advice. You could try to treat her like an adult who's responsible for her own actions. Even if you keep treating her like a child, Hongxia won't be a baby her whole life. But if you treat her like an adult, you might realize at that moment that she's grown up."

After hearing his words, Xingge fell into deep thought, with a complicated expression on her face.

She never expected that she would be taught a lesson by a bourgeois scumbag. It's abominable and a great shame!

"...Don't act like you know everything."

"But I do understand~... After all, I'm a bit like you. My parents also disappeared suddenly, and then I took my sister with me. But the difference is that she became my most trusted helper, and you obviously don't trust your sister like I do."

The PA lady at the side showed a surprised expression and shrank back a little. After all, someone like her who knew a lot of things could easily be shot eight times in the back and commit suicide one day.

Seeing that she was still hesitant, Ping Xin added with a smile, "Of course I know what you're worried about. After all, I'm your sister's brother... If you don't act like a good sister, I might just bully her away someday~"

"!"

Miss PA shrank even lower. After all, one of these two was a man who could not be offended, and the other was her boss. She could not afford to offend them.

"Some parents often hope that their children can understand them and become 'rational' adults, but they ignore the fact that they are really just children.

If you can't get understanding from your family, you naturally have to seek it outside. This is one of the reasons why so many good children are easily deceived by bad men and women. If you don't want to regret it one day, the best way is to make things clear from the beginning... That's probably what I want to say. Then I'll catch up too, Ciao~"

After saying this, Ping Xin quickly fled the scene, not giving Xingge time to think and settle the matter.

"I always have to do these thankless tasks, ah ah ah... But it's still quite fun when I play pranks on people~"

Even though things are a bit troublesome, as long as I do it my own way, I can always find some fun. Perhaps this can be considered finding joy in hardship...

......

...

..

Meanwhile, on the other side, Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo had already caught up with the angry Ijichi Kouka. She was drinking her drink in a rage, blowing into it to make it boil, just like her tsundere older sister.

"You're so obviously angry."

As Hongxia's best friend and trusted confidant, Yamada Ryo obviously has the most say on this matter.

"I want you to take care of..."

Kita was also very worried about this kind and lovely senior, and asked her if she was okay.

Hong Xia was just angry and not evil, so she apologized to the two of them first and then complained about her sister's inhumanity. She is still a good child...

Ping Xin, who was squatting on the cement pipe, could see all of this clearly.

"It's almost time..."

“Um, that—”

Goto Ichiri arrived on time. At this moment, she was out of breath and her face was a little blue, just like a girl who had just finished running 800 meters in a physical test, and she was shaky.

"Are you okay?"

"Wow, Ping Xin brother, when did you get here!?"

A sudden sound from above her head startled Ijichi Hongxia, and poor little Pochi was also scared to death.

"Okay, take a deep breath—"

With a somersault, Ping Xin appeared gracefully and landed beside her, stroking her back to help her calm down... Although it seemed scientific, he actually secretly used ripples to cheat.

"If you're too weak, it'll be hard to perform in the summer... Let's add physical training to it later~"

Several people looked embarrassed, and Pochi wanted to tell the story as quickly as possible while also adjusting his breathing. For a moment, the scene was very quiet——

"Um, um... the store manager (Xingge) just told me to [give Hongxia a message...]"

"A man who knows the current affairs is a hero?"

Ping Xin's DNA moved, but the others obviously didn't follow.

"Senior, please stop making trouble!"

Kita pushed Hiranobu aside. He was funny when he was serious, and suddenly talked about profound principles when he was funny. He was really a weird senior who couldn't read the atmosphere at all!

After Kita silenced the obstructing person with snacks and drinks, Goto Ichiri continued, "The store manager told me, 'If you want to go on stage, you have to audition first. I'll watch your performance next Saturday and decide whether to..."

"And then after that, Yili suddenly lay down on the ground and posed like a dog with its belly exposed, saying something like 'I'm trying my best to show my obedience'... Ah, do you want to see the photo?" Pingxin, who was eating very quickly, interrupted.

"Senior!?"

The persecuted person, Xiao Boqi, screamed.

"Wait... In other words—"

"Yes, that's right... That tsundere store manager meant to wait until next week's audition to decide whether to let you on stage, so go for it~"

"Yes!" x4

Chapter 96 Special Training Arrangements

"Show her how powerful you are, Xiao Yili!"

"There's always a way!"

"What? They're actually ending the band!?"

Seeing Pingxin perform three consecutive moves in one second and then start dancing a strange dance on the spot, the originally tense atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and even Kita and Liang took out their mobile phones to record the video.

But he didn't give me a chance. He stopped immediately and said seriously, "In preparation for the test in a week, you will have to undergo strict special training. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Senior!" Somehow, Kita Ikuyo was the most enthusiastic today and answered first: "But, although we know we need special training, what exactly are we going to do?"

It’s like before an exam you know you have to study hard, but the teacher doesn’t highlight any key points, leaving you at a loss as to where to start. That’s how confused Kita feels at this moment.

"Of course... all of it—"

"Hey, are we that bad!?" Hong Xia asked in surprise.

"Although Liang's skills are top-notch, her performance style is too individualistic. She won't actively cooperate with others and needs someone to lead her and make her cooperate.

As for the other member of the rhythm section (usually the drummer and bassist in a rock band), Hong Xia, although her skills are decent, is the opposite of Liang. Her personal style is not strong enough to lead the rhythm of everyone.

Ping Xin directly pointed at Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Hongka.

Apart from Goto Ichiri, Yamada Ryo is the best in terms of pure playing skills, but she often plays by herself during performances. Although she will not make mistakes, she will not actively cooperate.

Ijichi Hongxia's skills are not bad, but they are just not bad. Conventional training and simple self-study cannot support her to go further.

And although she often acts in a "mother mode" that people can rely on and act coquettishly, she is also a child who is easily hurt. That's why her sister Xingge hesitates to let her embark on this difficult and challenging path of being in a band.

"Then there's Xiao Yili... Although you undoubtedly possess professional-level technique and ability when performing solo, you often struggle to give your best on stage due to shyness, low self-esteem, and the inability to look directly at others and interact with your teammates. If you can find a way to overcome this, you can become the backbone of the band.

"Kita... for a newcomer, you've done pretty well, but only pretty well. But the most urgent task isn't to hone your skills, but to integrate what you've learned and apply it to real combat."
