People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

So after hearing Aokisuke say that there would be a new song in two days, Miss Liang, who had originally been indifferent, suddenly became interested.

"Is Suki-san going to release a new song? Is the style the same as last time? What genre is it this time? Is it guitar singing again? Do you have the sheet music now? Can I listen to it?"

Miss Liang is usually very quiet, but when she talks about her favorite music, she becomes a completely different person and starts talking non-stop.

Although Aokisuke had put the release of a new song on the agenda, he hadn't yet decided what kind of music to choose for the new song. So facing Yamada Ryo's continuous questioning, he paused and then answered,

"As for the style of the new song... I haven't decided yet, but it will probably be guitar singing."

"Oh - I understand," Yamada Ryo nodded, "Suki-san, you are one of those talented musicians who suddenly gets a flash of inspiration and writes lyrics and music, right?"

"A flash of inspiration... Big, maybe?"

......

If you walk from the Shibuya Station intersection to Shimokitazawa, it takes about 30 minutes.

The three of them chatted while walking slowly towards [STARRY]. During the walk, they also bought three ice creams at a roadside dessert shop. Without deliberately pursuing efficiency, it took about fifty minutes, and it was almost 1:30 when Aoki Jie and the other two arrived at the livehouse.

Although it was a little different from the time we had planned, as I said before, there was no hard and fast time to go to [STARRY] for training. If we relied entirely on our own initiative, 1:30 was not too late.

After walking along the fashionable Shimokitazawa Road for a while, we arrived at the entrance of the livehouse.

Hong Xia usually gets up very early, and [STARRY] has already opened at this time, so there was no hesitation at the door. Aoki Jie raised his hand and prepared to push the door open.

But just before pushing the door open, Yamada Ryo suddenly spoke.

After talking about the new song, Yamada Ryo remained silent. For most of the journey, Kita Ikuyo chatted with Aoki Suke in a casual manner.

But now she suddenly spoke again,

"Suki-san, thank you for lunch and ice cream. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Aokisuke was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yamada Ryo who suddenly thanked him.

With the mentality of "It's no big deal if a friend treats me to a meal", he was about to respond, but after seeing Miss Liang clearly at this moment, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He turned his head and coughed lightly, controlling his smile at this moment, and answered,

"Ahem...it's just a meal, nothing serious, but...Yamada-san, before you thank me properly, wipe your mouth first. The ice cream is stuck to the sides of your mouth."

"Oh......"

The seriousness in her tone faded, and Ms. Liang's voice returned to its usual lazy tone.

......

And on the other side-

Kita Ikuyo stood aside, watching the two people talking, and the suspicion that had been slightly dispelled suddenly resurfaced in her heart.

No matter how you look at it, there seems to be something wrong with the relationship between Ryo-senpai and Aoki-senpai.

Actually, if you think about it carefully, you can make some guesses - for example, why did Ryo-senpai know that Aoki-senpai was actually the original singer of "Lemon", for example, the harmonious communication between the two of them right now, and for example, in fact, most of the time, the truth is said in the form of jokes...

With the filter of "admiration", Kita Ikuyo completely ignored the possibility that Yamada Ryo just wanted to see her strange reaction because of his eccentric personality, and her guess became more and more bold in her heart.

To sum up - even if Liang-senpai and Aoki-senpai are not lovers, their relationship is too good!

The speculation is completely valid, and now all we need is the final decisive evidence...

"Ryou-senpai, Aoki-senpai, come on! I'll keep a close eye on you two from now on!"

Curiosity, doubt, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes, and the love detective Kita Ikuyo thought in her heart.

ps: I apologize, I’m sorry, I kneel down to all my readers.

Let me explain. Actually, when I posted that "I'll have more later," I was already trying my best to write, but I was stuck in a writing jam. The outline was a little different from what I had in mind. I wanted to ensure the quality I could achieve, so I kept revising and revising it. Seeing everyone posting rumors in the forum, I was really getting anxious...

But in the final analysis, it's my fault. Sorry, I kowtow to everyone, bang bang bang

Chapter 33 Unsurprising Review Results

Let’s not talk about the love detective game involving Kita Ikuyo for now.

Regarding the completion of the band's ensemble training:

Hongxia started training early in the store. The three of them practiced for a while after entering the store. At around 2:30, Pochi-chan arrived last.

As agreed before, after practicing for a while, Aokisuke played and sang a piece of "Lemon". Except for Ryo, Nijika, and Kita-chan who already knew Aokisuke's true identity, Pochi-chan was stunned after hearing Aokisuke's singing and playing.

The skilled singing technique is very practical. When playing and singing, Aoki Jie can clearly feel that his singing skills have improved significantly. Whether it is breath, pitch, or rhythm, they are much better than the first time he played and sang "Lemon".

In short, after ensemble practice and simple singing and playing, they continued practicing until about eight o'clock in the evening, and then they went home one after another.

Aokisuke himself has no talent for cooking. In addition, the rental house is small and cooking inside will make the house smell of oil smoke. So for convenience, he has always eaten cheap bento or occasionally ate out.

On the way home from the livehouse, Aokisuke bought a fried chicken bento that was on sale.

It was probably a lunch box I made at noon. When I brought it home and started eating, the crispy shell of the fried chicken had been completely soaked in the soup.

However, Aokisuke has never been too particular about food. As long as it can fill his stomach and is not too bad, he can accept it. After finishing his meal in no time, he simply cleaned up the table and started reading the book "100 English Short Sentences for Daily Notes" again.

'God will not let down those who have talent and effort.'

It means that God will not let down those who have both talent and hard work.

Aoki Jie thought that his talent was just passable. Although he didn't work hard like a prodigy, he had at least seen the sun rise at 4 o'clock in Shibuya.

When reading this sentence, I inexplicably thought of Yukinoshita Yukino's extremely confident look. His competitive spirit was aroused, and Aokisuke became more serious.

......

It was ten o'clock in the evening. Feeling a little tired, he put away the book in his hand, washed up simply, and went to bed.

Then, the next day, Sunday.

The weather in Tokyo in June is very strange. Yesterday, the sky was clear and sunny, but today the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and it looked like a heavy rain could come at any time.

It was agreed the day before that the band's live review would be held at [STARRY] today. Although Aoki Jie specifically requested not to perform, he still arrived at the livehouse on time in order to confirm the results of the band's training in recent days.

The weather station showed that it would rain in the next few days, so to be on the safe side, Aokisuke decided to bring a transparent umbrella that he bought at a convenience store for a few hundred yen.

In the afternoon, several girls arrived earlier than Aokisuke. The review was probably going to start early. When Aokisuke arrived at the livehouse, Hongxia and others were already standing on the live stage.

With the intention of trying not to disturb the others at the moment, Aoki Jie did not go up to talk to the girls on the stage.

He walked over to the side where the store manager, Ichichi Xingge, was, and found a stool to sit on.

The store manager glanced at him sideways, then turned his gaze back to the girls on the stage who were preparing to end the band.

But now, looking at the girls, she spoke to Aokisuke who had just sat down next to her.

"Aoki, what do you think of their current level? Is it appropriate for them to perform on stage?"

"?"

Aokijie was puzzled for a moment, put the guitar bag he was carrying on the side of the stool, and wondered aloud,

"Manager, you are the manager of [STARRY], why are you asking me?"

Ichichi Xingge was choked and silent for a moment before speaking again.

"I'm worried that they're not under enough pressure, their skills aren't refined enough, and they might make mistakes during the live performance..."

"A normal band will make more or less mistakes during their first performance, right?"

Aokisuke interrupted the store manager and said, "A little pressure is enough. Ijichi-san and the others are all motivated children. Sometimes putting too much pressure on them is not good."

The most important thing about playing in a band is to have fun. Even if the goal is to become a professional band and want to make money from the band, it is also necessary to prioritize keeping the atmosphere in the band relaxed.

If there were no financial pressure, Aokisuke would indeed think so.

Therefore, even though he himself is currently under pressure from the possibility of an unstable life due to not getting a ranking, Aokisuke does not want to pass on his burden to the girls of the Ending Band who are currently his teammates.

After a pause, before Ijichi Hoshige could respond, Aoki added,

"And speaking of which... Manager, you actually reserved a spot for the closing band, didn't you? You said you were worried they wouldn't be under enough pressure. You're a bit sharp-tongued, but you're kind of soft-hearted..."

Manager Ijichi, who was about to say something, stopped talking, opened his mouth, and swallowed the words that were about to come back into his heart.

She took a deep breath, remained silent for a while, and then changed the subject.

"I think they're ready. Let's see how good they are now..."

......

After a short wait, the band started playing.

The song played was "That Band", starting with Hongxia's drums, and then quickly followed by Pochi-chan's guitar and Liang's bass.

While listening to the performance of the four people on the stage, Aokisuke analyzed the problems for them in his mind.

Kita's guitar skills are not proficient enough, and there are many places where his handling is not good.

Hongxia's drumming can sometimes be too impatient, or at other times completely out of tune with the rhythm, which also cannot be considered an excellent performance.

Pochi-chan occasionally deviates from the rhythm of her teammates' performance. Although it is very subtle, it can be noticed after listening carefully.

Miss Liang was somewhat immersed in her own world, and her cooperation with her teammates was not very good.

It has a lot of flaws, but at least it sounds decent, and an outsider probably can't hear any of them.

But Ichichi Hoshige is clearly no amateur.

After the review performance was over, Hong Xia suddenly stopped playing the drums, and a breathless blush appeared on her face because of the performance.

She cast her gaze towards Ichichi Hoshika, who was sitting on a chair just below the stage.

"How, how is it, sister."

"Goto's cooperation with you guys isn't very good. Kita's guitar occasionally has small flaws, and the same goes for you, Nijiga. And Ryo is a little too immersed in his own world."

The store manager spoke and repeated the shortcomings that Aokisuke had just thought of.

Hong Xia and others on the stage showed a hint of nervousness when they heard this.

Until, Ichichi Hoshige, who was sitting on the chair, continued to speak,

"But for a band that's only been around for a short time, it's still acceptable... Consider it a pass."

The review was passed, and all the efforts during this period were not in vain.

"Great!"

After hearing what Ijichi Hoshige said, several girls on the stage smiled at the same time, and Kita Ikuyo even shouted out with full energy.

"Congratulations."

Although he had expected this result, Aokisuke still clapped his hands twice and congratulated.

But I am somewhat absent-minded——

Aoki Jie was thinking about the girls' performance which had a lot of flaws, and a trace of worry was secretly welling up in his heart.

There is just over a month left until the deadline for the band's original music project at PVC Records.

The band is definitely improving, but it's not enough right now.

After more than a month, can I really lead the band to a place?

Once you make a choice, don't hesitate any longer. There will always be a way out when you reach the mountain - shaking his head slightly, Aokijie forced himself to come back to his senses.

Iori and Kohei: "Then why aren't you wearing any clothes?"

"You two have no right to say that to me."
