After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

At this time, two female audience members who were playing with their mobile phones still had the towels given by Chaoyang draped around their necks.

"Hmm? Is the first show the closing band?"

"Yes, it seems to be the band that gave us towels. Although I have never heard of this band, it seems very gentle and thoughtful. Let's support them."

"Yeah, that's true."

The sound of talking reached the ears of several people who were leaning against the door of the lounge.

"Really, he's worthy of being called Chaoyang. I even doubted whether he was the one who called this typhoon. Even if he said it now, I would still believe him."

Hong Xia scratched her face and said in surprise,

"Ah... Chaoyang has always been so powerful!"

Pochi suddenly got excited and clenched his fists while shouting.

"Ahaha, Goto-kun, we already knew that."

Kita echoed.

Seeing that the audience was willing to listen to the closing band, although they were still nervous, their confidence had increased greatly.

"As for the MC, why not leave it to me? ...I'm fine with this kind of situation."

"Wouldn't this be too much of a burden for Ms. Yukinoshita, who is performing for the first time?"

Xue Noi looked calm and at ease. In the eyes of others, although she was a year younger than Hong Xialiang, she seemed more mature and steady, and had everything under control.

"What's Kita-chan's opinion?"

"Thank you so much! My palms are sweating now, and I'm afraid I'll fail if I try to react on my own."

Seeing that Kita had no objection, Hongxia nodded and said to Yukino.

"Ms. Yukinoshita, I'll leave it to you then!"

After saying this, he bowed solemnly to Yukino.

……

The stage lights were fully on at this moment, but people in the audience could still see that the people on the stage were adjusting their instruments and had already set up the microphones.

"Hey, five people? I remember seeing four people on the poster. Huh? When did it get torn off?"

The audience was about to check it again when they found that it had been torn off, and they were completely confused.

"Senior, aren't you going too fast?"

"Long-winded."

Ichichi Xingge threw a piece of waste paper into the trash can.

The bass guitars on the stage started plugging their cables into their amplifiers.

Starry itself is a small LIVEHOUSE so the stage is not big. It was enough for four people originally, but it became a bit crowded after Yukino was added. Fortunately, Yukino only played a single keyboard and did not prepare two main and sub keyboards distributed around herself like those big guys.

"Hey? Does this band have a keyboard player? They're clearly a new band, but the lineup is pretty complete."

The audience vaguely saw Yukino's instrument standing behind Pochi from the darkness.

Suddenly the lights came on and the faces of five girls appeared in front of everyone.

Pochi slightly shifted his body to allow a glimpse of Yukino's appearance.

Yukino, who had been looking down, suddenly raised her head and a bright smile appeared on her face.

Her fingers lightly touched the keyboard

"Nice to meet you all. This is the closing band. Despite the inclement weather, you all came anyway. Most of the audience is probably looking forward to the bands that will follow us, but if you still have some time, please give us a listen. We still have many shortcomings, but as long as we give our all, we will never give up."

As she began to speak, the accompaniment gradually began to play. Her fingers danced nimbly across the keyboard, and the smooth and rhythmic melody heated up the atmosphere, making everyone want to listen to Yukino's words.

The moment she finished speaking, Yukino snapped her fingers, and Nijika started beating the rhythm, and the performance began.

same moment

Upstairs in the morning sun, I hear a flood of music pouring out from below.

"Hmm... Yukinoshita is indeed a genius."

Kita's light and bright singing voice, with Yukino's background harmony, works very well.

"Kita also performed very well."

Pochi on the stage seemed to be ignited by the atmosphere.

I entered a trance right away.

Precise and rigorous plucking controls the entire piece of music.

The vigorous strumming of the strings but still maintaining a professional performance began to attract the attention of everyone in the audience.

[Playing with everyone, playing with Ms. Yukinoshita... I'm so happy... I want to keep playing like this... Chaoyang, are you listening? ]

The few audience members began to crowd to the front of the stage, and gradually the stage began to emit a sweat-inducing heat, but unexpectedly everyone enjoyed it.

Some people began to move their arms and heads.

The song is over.

Cheers followed one after another, which was completely different from the original plot where the first song was a cold reception.

"Ahahaha, are you all satisfied~~~~"

Kita also completely let go and started interacting with the audience.

"The next song is also our original song. It's only just been completed, but it took all the hard work of our bassist, Yamada Ryo-senpai, and guitarist, Goto Ichiri-kun. Please continue to enjoy it. ...But before that, I have a suggestion. I want everyone to know how amazing our keyboardist, Ms. Yukinoshita, is. So, even though I'm the lead vocalist, could you please sing the next song?"

Kita seemed to be having too much fun, treating it like karaoke, and asked the audience in a friendly manner.

"Great!" "I agree!"

"Hey, what are you doing, Kita-chan?"

Hong Xia avoided the microphone and shouted softly, and Yukino also looked a little troubled, but Kita had pushed the audience's sense of participation to the extreme, so she could only accept it. Fortunately, the foundation had been laid in the real world, and she had a photographic memory and had heard Kita sing this song before.

After signaling OK to Hongxia, Hongxia didn't say anything else.

He beat the drumsticks, heated up the atmosphere, and shouted into the microphone.

"Yoshi! Let's have fun together on this typhoon day!"

The audience began to huddle together in increasing excitement.

Although the morning sun cannot be seen from upstairs, I feel very satisfied just holding my head and listening to the music.

156. Celebration Party

9: pm

Inside an izakaya near Shimokitazawa Station

"Cheers~~"

"Thank you for your hard work~"

The cups filled with colorful liquids in everyone's hands clinked against each other, making sounds of joy.

As the store manager, Ijichi Hoshika first thanked everyone for their hard work.

"You guys worked really hard on this performance, and the audience response was great. We sold quite a few badges, too."

Kita started to ask with a confused look on his face

"Hey, is it true? Whose badges sold the most?"

"Idiot, if I tell you now, it'll just become a performance ranking, which is kind of frustrating! I'll tell you later. But I sold 16 in total, and someone asked why there wasn't a Yukinoshita badge, but I brushed it off."

Chaoyang calculated in his heart

[Excluding the ones PA-san bought and the ones the store manager bought, does that mean they actually sold 9? So-so, I guess...]

Hongxia immediately said to Chaoyang excitedly.

"Hey hey hey, Chaoyang, please ask the manufacturer to make a badge for Miss Yukinoshita~"

"No need, I'm just helping out temporarily this time."

Xueno took a sip of oolong tea, placed the glass gently on the low table, and said lightly:

“Hey?” “Hey?” “Hey?”

Kita, Nijika, and Ijichi Hoshige were stunned as they made strange noises.

"Shouldn't this kind of atmosphere be assumed to be joined?"

Chaoyang sighed, Yukino was still so clueless.

“Really”

Chaoyang's hand moved across the tatami to the back of Yukino, who was sitting in a sitting position.

Unexpectedly, he poked the center of the sole of the foot covered with soft and smooth black stockings with his fingers.

"what!"

Yukino's cheeks instantly turned red, and she subconsciously trembled all over.

"what are you doing…"

In order to cover up his gaffe, he whispered viciously to Chaoyang.

Chaoyang wiped his hands with a towel.

"Don't spoil everyone's fun at a time like this. Of course, if you really hate playing in a band, that's fine. So, does Yukino hate it?"

"There's nothing that's unpleasant... As long as I can be with the people I'm close to, it doesn't matter what I do."

"Hmm? Me? Or Pochi?"

"That's the most annoying thing about you. You don't mince words at all... Well... if that's what you expect, then I..."

Chaoyang's hand was now on Yukino's.

"No, what I expect is that you do what you want to do, without responding to my ideas or letting them distort your will. Then everyone will go astray."

"...If you weren't so obscene while touching my hand, I might be more touched."

Yukino calmly pulled her hand away.

Kita reminded at this time.

"Please stop talking about your love life in front of everyone. Goto-kun has been knocked to the ground and can't get up!"

Chaoyang immediately went to rescue Pochi who was knocked down by the youthful aura.

"So Yukinoshita really doesn't plan on joining the End Band? What a shame considering she's so talented?"

Ichichi Xingge had an expression of wasting things.

"Senior~~"

Without any warning, Hiroi Kikuri, who was beside her, pounced on Ichichi Seika.

"Ah, this is so annoying! Didn't I say I'd treat you? Don't jump on me!"

"No! Senior is still talking about others. Back then, I was envious of your band and joined the light music club in college. But after joining, I was told that your band had disbanded and quit the club! Now you've become a normal person who lives seriously. You were obviously our partner before, weren't you? Back then, when you had nothing to do, you would borrow money from juniors to buy cigarettes, borrow guitars, and repeat grades... wuwuwu"

Ijichi Seika immediately grabbed Hiroi Kikuri's neck and tried to silence her.

"Go to hell, you idiot!"

"Ahahaha, you two have such a good relationship."

The PA-san on the other side took a sip of wine, tilted his head slightly, put his hand on his cheek, and smiled with emotion.

"Stop making trouble, sister. I knew your moral character when you were in college since I was a child. It won't help to deal with Miss Hiroi."

And Yukino finally spoke

"I said that just now because when I first discussed it, I was indeed joining temporarily to help out. But this time, please accept my application to officially join the End Band... until the end of my journey?"

"That's great!!! It feels like the band is getting stronger and stronger after we finished. It's no exaggeration to say it's a star-studded group. But journey? What do you mean?"

Hong Xia was happy at first but then she was confused.
