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

"Yo, you've worked hard."

Chaoyang put one hand in his pocket and the other outside, and greeted people in a familiar manner.

"It seems like there's one more person here. Let me introduce myself again. I'm Iwashita Shima, the drummer of SICKHACK."

"Shimizu Elisa desu~~ Wow, she's so beautiful. Is this the kind of ice beauty you see in anime? Hmm~~ Hmm~~~~ Not bad, not bad~ Ah, I feel like she could be a good material."

Eliza circled around Yukino and stopped just before she was about to make her unhappy.

Then he took out his cell phone to take a picture.

Chaoyang naturally wouldn't let her do that and blocked it with her hand.

"Sorry, we can't just take photos of Yukino. If you want to take photos, you have to make an appointment with me, your agent. But if you want to take photos of me, anything is fine, even nude photos."

Chaoyang tried to stop them while making jokes to prevent the relationship from becoming awkward.

"Oh... let's not talk about that. Although I like otaku activities... but otakus themselves, like Kikuri, always have a certain smell."

"Wow... I didn't expect a half-blood like you to be so ruthless in your words."

By the way, Chaoyang just heard from other fans that SICKHACK became famous and its popularity increased significantly after Eliza joined.

[As expected, the band's gimmick is still very important]

And Elisa Shimizu also stared at Chaoyang for a few seconds, then looked at Pochi who was hiding behind Chaoyang and Yukino next to him.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in my head.

He pointed at Chaoyang and said with a foreign accent.

"Could it be that you are the legendary male protagonist of the harem~~~~"

141. The Combination of Social Phobia and Unhappiness

After watching the performance, the three people from Chaoyang originally planned to refuse to attend SICK HACK's celebration party and go buy equipment for the street roadshow.

"If you don't mind using the equipment, how about using ours? We just bought a new set, so you can use the old one. Kikuri has borrowed a lot of your things, so consider this an apology."

After hearing that Chaoyang and his team were planning to buy roadshow equipment, Iwashita Shima directly and enthusiastically proposed this idea. The three Chaoyangs expressed their gratitude for Iwashita Shima's enthusiasm and generosity.

"Really? That's great! We were just worried about the equipment."

Chaoyang responded happily. He didn't expect that the equipment problem would be solved so smoothly.

Even though he has a lot of money now, it doesn't mean he will be unhappy if he spends less.

It also saves a lot of time,

"Of course, we are in the same industry, so we can help each other."

Iwashita Shima said with a smile, she seemed happy to help Chaoyang and the others.

"Then you're welcome. Thank you very much."

Although Yukino was not a member of the band, she still thanked them politely.

"Then~~~ let's go have a drink!"

Kikuri Hiroi was already very excited, as she had just received a share of more than 5 yuan from the performance and the sale of peripheral products.

"Today~~We need to find a place where we can drink until daytime!"

"Ms. Hiroi...it's best to stop now. In a few years, your liver damage will become more and more serious...If you want to leave this world as soon as possible, that's fine."

Seeing that Hiroi Kikuri was about to be completely drowned in alcohol today, Yukino reminded her of the consequences.

"Don't say that kind of thing~~Happiness is the most important thing. People should enjoy themselves while they can~~~~"

But in fact, Hiroi Kikuri has been told similar things many times and has long ignored them.

……

"cheers!!!"

Everyone took off their shoes, sat on the tatami, gathered around a low table, and clinked their cups together.

The conversation became more and more lively, with laughter and cheers rising one after another.

"Hey, hey, Yukino-chan, can you take a few pictures? I want to draw you as the heroine of a comic next time~ I've been running out of inspiration lately and I'm almost late for summer COMIKET. I want to use you as material."

"Puwuwuwuwu..."

Chaoyang, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but sprayed his drink all over Pochi's face when he heard Benzi.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Pochi!!!"

Why are you picking up the wet wipes to clean Pochi's face?

[Even after running here, Yukino can't escape the fate of becoming the heroine of this book? 】

But of course Yukino couldn't agree to the request of this foreign friend.

"Allow me to refuse."

Speaking of the notebook, Pochi, who was being manipulated by Chaoyang, recalled bad memories.

[Ah...Jimmy Hen...Hong Xia, Xi Duo...Next time they come to play at our house, ask Erli to take Jimmy Hen out for a walk.]

"Hmm? Pochi? Why are you lost in your own world again? Hey~ wake up."

Chaoyang gently shook Pochi's shoulders, trying to wake her up from her reverie. Pochi raised her head slightly, a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes, and then gradually focused on Chaoyang.

"Speaking of which...what is the relationship between you three?"

Shimizu Elisa came closer and asked bluntly.

Chaoyang, Pochi, and Yukino were stunned and looked at each other.

"..."

"..."

“They are all my wings!”

"boom!"

Yukino has been getting more and more into direct action lately, so she tapped the back of Chaoyang's head for giving him a cheeky answer.

"Let dreams be spoken in dreams, really."

"Is that so~~~ As expected, it's Japan!"

But Pochi looked happy when he got there.

[Hehehe, I can actually be compared with Miss Yukinoshita. It turns out that I am still very important and useful in Chaoyang's heart. ]

"What are you so happy about... Goto-san... It's because of you that this man is getting more aggressive."

Yukino sighed hesitantly.

"Tired?"

Elisa Shimizu tilted her head and looked at Yukino and asked curiously.

"No."

Yukino smoothed her black hair and answered coldly.

In this atmosphere of banter, the celebration party ended, and Hiroi Kikuri dragged a group of people who could drink to the second house.

As Chaoyang and Yukino were lugging around second-hand amplifiers, power banks, microphones, stands and other items, which was inconvenient, so they didn't go back to their home in Shinjuku. Instead, they booked two rooms in a hotel in Yokohama and spent the night there.

……

the next afternoon

The golden sunset shines on the quiet streets, adding a touch of warmth and romance to the upcoming performance.

Chaoyang sent a text message asking Pochi to come over and meet up, but he was too lazy to look for Hiroi Kikuri. She was probably drunk on the street nearby. It was too much trouble, so he just let her fend for herself. It wasn't the first time anyway.

I recalled the location of the anime roadside performance, which was a small platform on four steps at a three-way intersection next to the huge Kanazawa Hakkei apartment building.

I quickly found the location by following the navigation.

Yukino bought some colored pencils and paper at the Lawson convenience store. Since he was a pretty good drawer, he simply wrote the ticket information for Pochi, put it in a conspicuous place, and prepared to start their roadside performance.

"Everyone~~ We're about to start the performance, but it's a one-of-a-kind JK girl group! Goto Ichiri and Yukinoshita Yukino! It's completely free, so if you have some free time before the festival starts, you can come and watch it. It's a no-brainer~~~"

"Just promote it, but please don't use strange words... Even if you're telling the truth, you'll only attract strange people and cause trouble for Goto-san and me."

Yukinoshita said this, lowering her head and kicking the gravel at her feet.

Pochi gripped the guitar nervously, his fingers trembling slightly on the strings.

"Pochi, you can do it. Just like Hiroi said, the audience is not your enemy. Rock 'n' roll is just pouring out everything in your heart. There's no need to be afraid. Ah... how about challenging yourself to a higher level and putting on a maid uniform and performing on the street? Have you heard the saying, 'Take the top and you get the middle, take the bottom and you get nothing.' If you start performing in a maid uniform, then ordinary performances won't matter at all."

Chaoyang came up with a suggestion with a bright idea.

Pochi looked up at Chaoyang in horror.

"No, no, no...! This is fine, I think it's okay. I'm suddenly not nervous anymore! Yoshi, Ms. Yukinoshita, let's go!"

After being overwhelmed by fear, Pochi no longer stuttered much.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his heartbeat.

She was battling inside, on the one hand, the desire to perform, and on the other hand, the deep-rooted social anxiety.

"Goto-kun, I'm leaving it up to you. I'll play your band's guitar and "Loneliness and the Blue Planet," leaving the vocals to you. I'll just be in charge of the rhythm guitar and vocals. I already looked at the sheet music last night. This performance is all up to you."

"Ah...that...yes!"

142.Who the hell are you?!

Yukino quietly put her hand on Pochi's neck, and Pochi was frightened by the sudden touch and cried out.

"Wow ah ah ah"

"Can I rely on you, Goto-kun?"

Yukino gave Pochi a weak smile, her cheeks tinged with a faint red, whether due to the sunset or her own reasons.

[Oh, so pretty... She's cute enough normally. Wow, if I were Chaoyang, I'd probably want to stick to Ms. Yukinoshita all day... After all, even a girl like me is moved.]

The two of them set up and connected the microphone, electric guitar, amplifier, and mobile power bank for outdoor performances.

I started looking at the crowd below. Yukino's striking appearance had drawn quite a few people to her. Some even started throwing coins and bills into an empty instrument case nearby. Pochi was adorable, but her overly long bangs and rather unfashionable outfit detracted from her cuteness, causing most people to focus on Yukino.

"I...I'm going to start too."

Pochi whispered to herself as her fingers finally pressed against the strings.

But my hands still couldn't stop shaking.

“Please do your best!”

A gentle cheer came from the crowd, coming from a short-haired girl in a yukata.

"Hey, what happened to you suddenly?"

The beautiful girl companion who was also wearing a yukata asked in confusion.

"Um... I always feel that the pink-haired girl playing the guitar in the back is unsettling... I can't help but want to cheer her on."

Pochi stopped sinking into despair and finally steeled his resolve, looking towards the crowd.

"Thank you... Fan No. 1 and Miss No. 2, for coming to see my performance no matter which world you are in. I won't let you down this time!"

I don't know when Chaoyang was standing behind the crowd, waving his arms.

"Just stare at the rising sun! That way I can keep my sight straight ahead."

? The sudden evening rain made me tired of not bringing an umbrella?

Yukino's singing voice then sounded. I have to say that Saori's voice has a different charm than Kita's, which is also a novel experience.

Even without the bass and drums to serve as the background and rhythm, it still sounds good.

More passers-by, attracted by the sudden sound of the music, stopped and gathered around.

As the performance drew to a close, Pochi's nervousness gradually disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented confidence. Her eyes became more determined, and her guitar sound became more relaxed and powerful.
