People in Zongman are masters of copying romance novels

The cold soda touched her cheek as the blond girl looked at Aokisuke in front of her.

She was not aware of Aoki Jie's life experience, and knew very little about the past of her predecessor.

But Hong Xia knew——

At this moment, facing this senior who had previously advised me to enjoy music, this senior who told me not to carry all the pressure on myself, this senior who stood up and sang that unwilling cry to me when I was extremely confused, I must say something even if I cry.

Then, she took a deep breath and a smile full of energy appeared on the girl's face.

Looking at Aokisuke in front of her, she spoke with force.

"It has nothing to do with a sense of responsibility. It's simply my own opinion."

"Even if you call me stubborn, Aoki-senpai—"

The colorful lights of the vending machine reflected on Hongxia's face, and at this moment, the girl's eyes sparkled.

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the senior in front of her, her tone serious and her voice clear.

"I want to carry the dreams of my predecessors and play in a band with everyone."

Looking at Hongxia's face, Aokisuke was stunned for a moment.

Then, coming back to his senses, he opened his mouth, subconsciously wanting to say something.

However, before the voice could speak, a familiar electronic sound came to his ears.

[Currently successfully obtained the first CG for the heroine 'Ijichi Nijika': "The Dream the Drum Girl Wants to Carry"]

"I want to carry my dream and play in a band with everyone..."

Aoki Jie was silent.

P.S. I’m recommending a book by a friend. If you’re interested, you can check it out.

Here is a brief introduction:

As a reborn person from the Celestial Empire, when Hashima Hikari entered the Tokyo Metropolitan High School, the system that was fifteen years late finally came.

Love stock market system, the rules are very simple, earn different returns based on changes in interpersonal relationships.

[The event is over. Ichinose Hoba's trust in you has increased. Ichinose Hoba's stock price has increased by 30. The current stock price is 110. ]

[Should I sell Ichinose Honami shares? 】

【Quantity sold: 2000】

【Sold successfully, obtained funds of 220000】

In order to graduate successfully as a student of Class A and embark on a comfortable life of lying down, Hikaru Hashima is determined to make good use of this love stock market system.

But as the saying goes, it is impossible to speculate in stocks.

I always like to go all in!!! Then go all in!!!

Chapter 39 Nothing is wrong

Around eight o'clock.

In the rented apartment, the wooden table was placed upright on one side, and the bedding was neatly laid out next to it.

Aokisuke stood in front of the only window in the room, his eyes fixed on the night sky outside.

Even at night, neon lights flicker in big cities. Even though the apartment Aokisuke rents is located in a "slum area", the lights outside the window are still bright.

Therefore, there are no stars in the night sky right now.

Aoki Jie didn't really care whether he could see the stars. After chatting with Hong Xia and returning to the apartment, he was studying the "love simulation game" in his mind.

I don’t know what triggered it, but after Hongxia said, “I want to play music together with my own dreams,” the love simulation game in my mind suddenly flashed out inexplicably, and then I suddenly reminded myself that I had obtained the first CG of Hongxia.

With a hint of curiosity and doubt, standing in front of the window, Aoki Jie called out "Love Simulation Game" and opened the [Heroine Panel] option among the two options after a long time.

In addition to the four members who ended their band and the older single woman Hiratsuka Shizuka, there is now another female protagonist, Yukinoshita Yukino.

Aoki Jie was not very surprised, he had actually expected this.

Without paying much attention, Aokisuke went straight to choose Hongxia from the available female leads.

The light blue transparent screen in front of him changed slightly, and a game panel similar to that in galgame popped up.

[Currently selected heroine: Ichichi Hongxia]

[Currently unlocked CG number: 1 (You have one reward to claim)]

[Achievements achieved in the Ijichi Hongxia line: (None yet)]

[The ending of the Ijichi Hongxia line has been reached: (none yet)]

As far as I can remember, the CG system, which should have been marked as 'None' like the ending and achievements, now has a number behind it that changes to 1.

Not only does the number change to one, but there is also a small reminder at the end that you can claim the reward.

Aokisuke used his consciousness to gently click on the CG column on the panel in front of him.

The light blue light curtain changed again.

The original [Heroine Panel] that was similar to a game panel disappeared, and was replaced by a neatly arranged CG collection column.

Except for the first CG which is glowing, the rest of the collection columns are currently unlocked. The first CG is the "Dream that the Drum Girl Wants to Carry" that Aoki Jie just unlocked.

I subconsciously clicked on that CG.

The glowing CG is enlarged, and a photo with perfect angle and appropriate lighting, as if with a filter, pops up in front of Aoki Suke.

The blond-haired beauty is full of energy. She has a faint smile on her face, a glass of juice in her hand against her cheek, and her wine-red eyes are shining brightly because of the neon light of the vending machine next to her.

Aokisuke had to admit that even without the reward, the CG function was definitely a good thing.

There's no other reason, it's just that the photos taken by this feature are really perfect.

Hongxia is so cute.

What's more, this feature now comes with rewards——

After enlarging the CG, Aokisuke heard a reminder of reward distribution in his ears.

The reward given out was not the points, skills, or cash given for completing options on a normal day, but a strange item called [Hongxia's Clover Lucky Amulet Fragment (1/3)].

You can’t claim it directly because the name is in fragments, so you need to collect about three pieces before you can redeem it from the system.

As for the function of this thing...

The function is not clear at the moment, and the only introduction given is a simple sentence: "Give it to Hongxia after you collect them all, it might be of great use."

After being bound to the 'Love Simulation Game' for nearly a month, Aokisuke accidentally obtained a CG. He did not expect to unlock the CG next time or unlock achievements or endings, so he took a quick look at the 'Clover Amulet' which was currently useless, and Aokisuke did not continue to study it.

He withdrew his gaze, moved away from the window, stretched, and sat aside.

Just as I was about to study mathematics for a while, the phone beside me suddenly vibrated.

So he put aside the idea of ​​studying mathematics for the time being and turned on his mobile phone screen.

It wasn't a message from a single person, but rather a YouTube video shared by Liang in a chat group called 'End of Band Chat Room'.

The chat group was just created. After telling Hong Xia about her ideas, she was silent for a while, and then proposed the idea of ​​creating a chat group exclusively for the band.

Aoki Jie naturally had no objection, so after Hong Xia spoke, he decisively handed over his social media account.

so......

Aoki Jie was a little curious about the content of the video sent by Miss Liang.

He stopped thinking and was about to click on the video when Yamada Ryo, who had just forwarded the video to him in the chat group, tagged Aoki Suke in the next second.

Then, a message came,

[Strange bassist: Suki-san, watch the video.]

With a hint of doubt in his eyes, Aoki Jie clicked on the video.

The video title is "Passionate singing of "Lemon""

The video content...

A tall man wearing a lemon doll suit was posing with a microphone, and the background music was "Lemon" which Aoki Suke had previously played and sung.

I have to admit that this tall guy in a lemon doll suit - let's call him Mr. Lemon... Mr. Lemon's dancing skills are really good. Even though he is wearing a heavy doll suit, he can easily dance in charming poses in the video.

Coupled with good editing and the appearance of holding the microphone and lip-syncing, the whole video style is very inconsistent with "Lemon", but it does look very interesting.

If the background music wasn't Aokisuke's own voice.

He twitched his lips, exited the video with a dark look on his face, and returned to the group chat.

He originally wanted to question the bassist in the group about her purpose in posting this thing in the group, until he joined the group and saw the chat history again.

Kita Kita: Eh? Is this Aoki-senpai?!

【Strange bassist: Yeah.】

Kita Kita: Huh?! Aoki-senpai is not only a great singer, but he's also a great dancer... So impressive!

[Hongxia:? 】

[Kita Kita: But I always feel that the dance doesn't quite match "Lemon". Is it my fault?]

[Strange bassist: Suki said he wanted to interpret the song "Lemon" from a different perspective, so he sang the song while doing this dance. I recorded the video.]

【KitaKita: Oh, I see.】

[Hongxia: No, wait a minute, Kita-chan...]

[Pochi-chan: This is... the soundtrack for the video...]

"..."

So that's what it is!

Aokisuke was not surprised by what the bassist said. It could be said that he had even anticipated what Yamada Ryo would say, but he really didn't expect that Kita Ikuyo would come out and be so considerate to support Ryo.

A little helpless.

However, looking at the chat in the group, Aoki Jie's mouth corners raised slightly.

The burden of dreams and failed lives is too heavy.

As expected, Aokisuke still prefers the relaxed atmosphere of the band ending right now...

As long as there are no problems.

Chapter 40: Music Release and Life Talk

According to what Yingxia Hongxia said before, Aokisuke plans to re-sing "So I Gave Up Music" which he performed on the [STARRY] stage in the next few days and then post it on YouTube.

Sunday.

I woke up much earlier than on Saturday, and since I had nothing to do this morning, I went for a few laps in the park. On the way back to the apartment, I ate four more dumplings than usual.

After returning home and cleaning up the apartment briefly, Aokisuke noticed that he had forgotten to take yesterday's garbage out and throw it away when he went for a morning run.

Although it was not too hot in early June, the weather was enough to make the garbage emit a strong odor after being left in the room for a while, so Aokijie decisively took the garbage downstairs again.

Returning to the apartment again, Aoki Jie didn't hesitate. He took out his guitar from the guitar bag beside him, propped up his mobile phone on the wooden table, and tried to play and sing "So I Gave Up Music".

It was obviously impossible to get it right in one go. Even if the skills were in place, there would always be some inexplicable little reasons that would cause the recording to fail, such as the phone suddenly falling down, or sudden noise coming from downstairs, etc. In short, after recording four times, Aoki Suke finally chose a slightly perfect version of the singing and playing.

Aokisuke posted the video using his YouTube account 'suki-san' after a simple editing process.

I didn't expect anyone to comment the first second after I submitted it. After posting the video, Aokisuke didn't pay much attention to it. He turned off his phone, took his wallet and went out.

After hesitating for a whole day, he finally decided to go to the bookstore and buy two more sequels to "The Suzumiya Haruhi" - Aoki was really curious about the sequel of the story.

I went book shopping in the morning, had some ramen outside at noon, and in the afternoon I took my guitar to a livehouse for ensemble practice.

Until around six o'clock, [STARRY] opens for business.

Aokisuke occasionally helps out at [STARRY] and doesn't ask for any salary.
