People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

He made the decision in his head and didn't think about it any further.

While Aokisuke was thinking, Kita Ikuyo, who felt too guilty and wanted to do something to end the band, was asked by the manager Ijichi Hoshika to stay in the livehouse this afternoon to help with some chores.

Kita Ikuyo naturally had no objection, and even felt that such a punishment might be a bit too light, but under Hongxia's persuasion that "this will be a big help", Kita Ikuyo chose to accept it.

However, because none of them participated in club activities and school ended very early, although Kita Ikuyo was asked to help at the livehouse, there were currently no customers in the store, so apart from simply cleaning up the tables and sweeping the floor, there was really nothing else she could do to help.

So, while they had nothing to do and Aoki Suke was still present, Hongxia, under the pretext of asking Aoki-senpai to be her advisor, pulled Aoki Suke, Kita Ikuyo, including Ryo and Pochi-chan, into a discussion on the topic of 'Division of labor in the band and how to act more like a band'.

Aokisuke really didn't know how to answer the question of how to be more like a band. After all, even after living for so many years, Aokisuke's understanding of rock bands was limited to hippies, band splits, and lead singers hanging themselves.

I mean, these rock musicians aren't in a very good mental state...

Looking at the young and beautiful girls around him, Aoki Jie was somewhat worried about their future.

He didn't pay much attention to the girls' division of labor and how to talk more like a band. He just let his mind wander...

Although Aokisuke was asked to be the advisor, in fact, several girls were chatting with great interest. Perhaps they noticed that Aoki senior on the other side of the round table had not spoken a word. So, as the only social person in charge of the ending band, Hongxia spoke to Aokisuke.

"Speaking of which, Aoki-senpai, do you have any ideas? How can we make the band look more like a regular band..."

Aoki Suke, who was lost in thought, came back to his senses when he was suddenly addressed.

Ways to make the band look more like a legitimate band...

After thinking about the question asked by Hong Xia for a while, he subconsciously swept his eyes over the girls in front of him.

Until Aokisuke's gaze stopped.

His sight fell on the opposite side, and he looked at Yamada Ryo who didn't seem to be in a very good mood at the moment.

With her elbows resting on the table, the blue-haired girl, who usually appears aloof when silent, is supporting her face with her right hand, looking away.

There was a calm expression on his face that was somewhat out of tune with the atmosphere at the moment. He seemed to be in a daze, or thinking about something else.

His gaze lingered for a moment, then he looked away.

Then, Aokisuke spoke up, "Let the band feel more like a band... Wouldn't it be better if they had a song that was unique to the band?"

P.S.1: I’m sorry for the late update. There will be another chapter later, which may take around o’clock. Everyone, go to bed early. After I finish that chapter, I will look at it and write more.

ps2: I recommend a book by a good brother. If you are interested, you can go and read it~

Here's the synopsis: "Ryomen Sukuna? The strongest sorcerer in history? He's just a mortal who was born in an age without me."

Lin Qi stood opposite Liangmian Sukuna and looked at him with amusement.

"The one on my left hand, Koyukishita, is a master of multiple techniques, and can use the Ten Shadow Technique with ease. The one on my right hand, Daiyukishita, has awakened a unique modern technique, and his talent is not inferior to mine. And the slashing technique is just our normal attack."

"Let me ask you how the Fifteen Ibusuki Nuo will respond?"

Ryoumen Sukuna was dazed as he looked at the black-haired young man in front of him whose cursed power was exactly the same as his own.

Chapter 17 Style and Personality

In Aokijie's impression, in his previous life, regardless of nationality, most of the famous rock bands became popular thanks to their own original albums.

So after Hongxia asked, "How can we be more like a band?", Aokisuke spoke up and answered.

"There's an original piece of music belonging to the band..."

Looking at Aokisuke, Hongxia thought for a moment.

As for original music, Hongxia accidentally learned on YouTube that Aoki-senpai is 'Suki-san', so she knew very well that if Aoki-senpai, who created "Lemon", could give the band some guidance on music, the band would definitely benefit a lot.

But considering that Senior Aoki did not deliberately mention anything about his YouTube account in front of them, including in the YouTube video, he also played and sang without showing his face, so after consideration, Hongxia did not choose to mention the issue of Aoki's YouTube account.

"Well, for original music, Ryo can try arranging it. I mentioned last time that Pochi-chan can try writing the lyrics, but there's a small problem..."

After only a moment's thought, Hong Xia spoke again, but with a trace of distress on her face.

"The band is currently without a vocalist, and neither Ryo, Pochi-chan, nor I...are confident about singing on stage, so even if we write a song..."

"Kita-san should be good at singing on stage, right? Why don't you try to join the ending band?" Looking at Kita Ikuyo and then at Ijichi Nijika, Aoki Suke offered his suggestion.

"Eh? Me?" Kita Ikuyo, who had been listening for a while, was stunned for a moment, then shook her head decisively, "No, no, no, although I do sing... but, but, I've already run away once at an important moment, so I can't join the band again and cause trouble for everyone..."

"It won't be a bother, Kita-chan." Ijichi Hongxia shook her head.

At this moment, Goto Ichiri was still thinking about how to express his gratitude to Aoki Suke, while Yamada Ryo was currently supporting his chin with his right hand in a daze.

After a brief moment of hesitation, Kita Ikuyo denied it again, "Never mind... What happened last time was already very irresponsible. I will silently support everyone in the band from now on, but as for joining... forget it."

Hong Xia's simple words "I won't cause any trouble" obviously failed to persuade Kita Ikuyo. Without Goto Ichiri's persuasion, Ms. Guilaiquxi would most likely have parted ways with the band.

......

Looking at Kita Ikuyo who refused to join the band, Aokisuke showed a slight trace of distress on his face.

Pochi-chan was still in her own world at this moment. Considering that this result was probably caused by her own intervention, after hesitating for a moment, in order to make Kita Ikuyo, who was supposed to join the ending band, stop hesitating, Aokisuke spoke again.

"Kita-san told me on the way here, didn't he? He wanted to learn guitar and join the band because he admired a senior in the band. Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, there's no reason for Kita-san to give up, right?"

Kita Ikuyo's initial motivation for joining the Ending band was not simple. She chose to join the Ending band in order to get closer to her idolized senior, Yamada Ryo.

At this time, Aoki Keizheng said the reason that made Kita Ikuyo hesitate the most, so after hearing it, she looked a little embarrassed.

Seeing Kita Ikuyo hesitate, he glanced at Ichichi Hongxia who was facing him, and Aoki Suke took advantage of the victory and pursued her.

"And everyone who left the band would love for you to rejoin. The band is currently in need of a secondary guitarist and a lead singer. Kita-san, as long as you practice hard, you'll definitely be able to take on the roles."

"Besides," Aokisuke coughed lightly and looked at Goto Ichi, who was still immersed in his own world. He continued, "If you don't know how to play the guitar yet, you can ask Goto-san to teach you. Goto-san is very good at playing the guitar."

"Ah... eh?" Goto Ichiri was a little dazed when his name was suddenly called.

"But, is it possible?" Kita Ikuyo, who was completely moved, turned her gaze to Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri was a little confused and blinked. She looked at Aokisuke for help.

"If Kita-san joins the band, Goto-san could take some time every day to teach Kita-san how to play the guitar, right?" Aokisuke added.

"Huh?" He swallowed deeply, turned his gaze to Aoki Suke, and then looked at Kita Ikuyo again. Looking at Kita Ikuyo's shining eyes, Goto Ichiri really didn't know how to say the word "rejection".

So, she replied with tears in her eyes, "No... no problem..."

......

Under Aoki's persuasion, Kita Ikuyo finally couldn't resist her admiration for Senior Liang and agreed to rejoin the band.

Nijiya, Pochi-chan, and Ryo certainly had no objection to Kita Ikuyo joining the band, so after a brief welcome, the topic returned to 'original music'.

Yamada Ryo, who had no expression just now but shouted "Oh - welcome", also returned to the state of being in a daze with his chin supported by his hands.

But perhaps because Yamada Ryo was mostly in a daze or his thoughts were wandering, the few people didn't pay much attention to Yamada Ryo at this time.

After confirming the lead singer, the topic of original music was brought up again.

The few of them started discussing again, from rearranging the division of labor, to how to create original songs, and then to the recently popular pop music style.

Except for Yamada Ryo and Aoki Suke who had been listening nearby, Nijiga, Kita Ikuyo, and Goto Ichiri all participated in the discussion.

Goto Ichiri no longer lost herself in her own world. Although she was a little nervous, she still tried to speak tremblingly.

"Ah... well, that's right, Hongxia mentioned me writing lyrics last time, so I've been trying to write lyrics at home... but I can't seem to find the right style to end the band. I've been trying to imitate the popular pop music that's popular among high school students nowadays... I'm not sure if that's okay..."

What is the popular music that is popular among high school students nowadays?

Aokisuke was a little confused.

Although I don't know what kind of music is popular among high school students nowadays, no matter how I think about it, it probably doesn't match the style of the band that will end in the future.

Is there something wrong with the direction that Pochi-chan is working towards?

Although he was confused, Aoki Jie did not speak up to give his opinion immediately. After a moment of silence, he suddenly noticed that Yamada Ryo, who had been supporting his chin with his hand and looking away in a daze, turned his attention to the discussion of several people after hearing them discussing "pop music".

"Pop music..." Hong Xia thought for a moment, "Pop music seems pretty good too. It's hard to find our own style for this band's first original music, so learning from others' ideas is a good idea!"

"..."

After Hongxia finished her words, Aokijie keenly noticed that Yamada Ryo, who was sitting diagonally across from him, had a slightly changed expression.

She raised her eyes slightly and then looked back to the side, shifting her attention away from the discussion. Calmly and imperceptibly, the blue-haired girl sighed almost without making a sound.

His eyes were fixed on Yamada Ryo's face, which was diagonally in front of him, for a few seconds, and then Aoki looked away.

Pop music, learning other people's ideas, and not finding my own style...

Aokisuke probably knew why Yamada Ryo sighed so imperceptibly.

As a girl who has always longed to pursue individuality and her own style, Yamada Ryo once quit the band she was in because the band began to go with the flow.

Whether it was the previous discussion about how to be more like a band, or the current discussion about the style of original music, it was undoubtedly reminding Yamada Ryo of the past of his previous band.

"..."

Take a deep breath.

He shifted his gaze away from Yamada Ryo, thought briefly, and after a slight hesitation, Aoki Jie spoke.

"Rather than blindly copying pop music styles... a brand new band should find their own personality and develop their own style."

"The End Band isn't about those pop bands that all have the same music style. Whether it's arranging or writing lyrics, instead of imitating or learning, you should first find your own path."

In front of him, Yamada Ryo, who had already lowered his eyes, was slightly stunned after hearing Aokisuke's words.

Style, personality...

Looking up again and blinking, the blue-haired girl looked at Aokisuke, her eyes flashing slightly.

----------

ps: I’m a little stuck on writing, sorry, sorry. I’ve been writing for so long that I’ve only just finished this chapter. The main reason is that I haven’t thought about the presentation form of this chapter... I’m sorry everyone!

Chapter 18 Hong Xia: Huh? Huh——?!

Rather than blindly pursuing fashion, Yamada Ryo values ​​'individuality' more.

For her, giving up individuality in pursuit of fame and popularity is the same as dying.

So, when she heard Pochi-chan say, "Try to imitate today's popular pop music," and when she heard Hongxia-chan say, "It's also good to learn other people's styles," she was a little disappointed.

I thought the discussion would continue like this, and I thought I would raise my opinions later. After clearing my mind again, I heard a voice interrupting the discussion.

"Rather than blindly following others, finding your own style is what a new band should do."

His wandering thoughts were brought back, and Yamada Ryo was slightly stunned.

The style and personality described by Aoki Jie all coincided with what she had in her mind the previous second.

Aokisuke's opinions continued to be heard in his ears, and Yamada Ryo raised his eyes and looked diagonally across.

There was still no expression on his face, but there was a light in his eyes.

In the end the band can find its own path and everyone in the band can find their own style…

This strange guitar expert, who had only just met me and didn't even have my contact information, yet agreed to lend me money, had almost the same idea as me.

Looking at Aokisuke, a hint of curiosity appeared on Yamada Ryo's expressionless face.

......

Aoki Jie didn't know what Yamada Ryo was thinking at the moment. After expressing his opinion, he didn't say anything else.

"Finding the band's own path... I always feel that it's a bit difficult for the current band... But no matter how difficult it is, we have to try!" Hong Xia thought for a while and then nodded.

After learning about Aokisuke's identity as "Suki-san", Hongxia, who would always consult other people's opinions, was even more convinced of Aokisuke's ideas, so she responded decisively.

Goto Ichiri was a little embarrassed.

"Ah... if I want to find my own style... I've tried writing lyrics that I'm good at, but they always seem a bit too dark..."

"Some things always have to be tried. The band is a whole, and everyone in the band needs to get along with each other. The lyrics you mentioned may not necessarily be inappropriate, and... the band has just been established, it's too early to think about these things now." Aoki Jie spoke to comfort.

Goto Ichiri thought for a moment after hearing this, while Kita Ikuyo blinked and said,

"I always feel like Aoki-senpai knows a lot. Does Aoki-senpai also play in a band?"

"Band...I've never tried it." Aokisuke shook his head.

"Huh? You've never been in a band?" Kita Ikuyo was surprised for a moment, then continued, "Then... Aoki-senpai, would you like to join the band?"

There was a moment of silence. After Kita Ikuyo said this, the people at the round table decisively turned their eyes to Aoki Suke.
