"I understand." Kita's mother nodded slightly.

......

......

After the beginning of autumn, the temperature turns cooler and not as annoying as before.

When did the weather suddenly change?

I took a deep breath and felt a little sore at the tip of my nose.

Suddenly I thought of what Senior Aoki said.

My efforts are noticed, I don't want to be wronged, I am said to be very stubborn, but it is very hard...

She never mentioned her background, was gentle towards others, and didn't want to see any problems happen to her friends.

At the stairs, Kita Ikuyo's thoughts were in a mess.

My vision is slightly blurry.

ps: I’d like to recommend a book by a friend. If you’re interested, you can go and have a look.

Here is a brief introduction:

Cheng Qing'an traveled to the world of Ark and was also faced with a live broadcast system.

In order to satisfy the bloodthirsty audience in the live broadcast room, Cheng Qingan could only frantically test the edge of the whole life and the trend -

"Kelsey...Is Theresa really dead?"

"Alina, I can't tell the difference. I really can't tell the difference!"

"Find out who wrote this article and who dares to slander the Regent as a hook seller?"

Chapter 97 The Intensifying Public Opinion Storm

On September 7th, the weather was sunny and the temperature was a little high, which was barely suitable.

Although Kita Ikuyo's problem of not being able to balance music and studies was solved, Aokisuke knew that before the release of "Fireworks" in the summer, the various disturbances about the band's end were obviously not completely resolved.

By chance, or perhaps because of the support of capital, the article about the end of the band that Aoki Jie saw a few days ago, with a long title and a whole article that was full of praise and criticism, has now squeezed into the top ten trending searches on Twitter.

Public opinion is a plaything of capital. When no one is fanning the flames, a cold approach may be useful; but if there are people behind the public opinion who start to fan the flames, then a cold approach will obviously only exacerbate the situation.

Up to now, the public opinion that was originally just questioning plagiarism and criticizing the level of the band has fermented to such exaggerated remarks as "If Suki-san does not deny it, she has already admitted that it is not original" and "The band is a burden".

Even the band Ghost Elements personally stepped in to question the originality of all of Aoki's music.

There probably is no grudge between Ghost Elements and The End. At least Aoki Jie can't remember any other interactions between the two bands except for competing for first place in the PVC project.

But the reality is often like this - due to coincidence, the song "Fireworks" that the band was about to perform snatched away the resources that originally belonged to the Ghost elements band. Although the band had capital support from the beginning to the end, and knew that the song selection would ultimately depend on strength, the Ges band, whose resources were snatched away, still couldn't hold back their anger and followed the current public opinion to question the originality of "Suki-san".

It was obvious that Aoki Jie could not just ignore this matter.

......

He didn't go to the livehouse to practice on September 6th. With so many things squeezing in, Aoki Jie couldn't calm down and practice with peace of mind, so he simply took another simple leave.

Stayed in the apartment all day until the next day.

It was agreed that tutoring for Kita would start today, so according to the plan made in advance on Line, Aokisuke arrived at the agreed library around eight o'clock in the morning.

Kita followed behind Aokisuke, and arrived at the destination just as quickly, no more than five minutes later.

According to what Aokisuke said, Kita's mother did not tell Kita Ikuyo about Aokisuke's visit.

But Kita already knew about this matter because he happened to hear it that day.

However, with the idea that since Senior Aoki didn't want to mention it, so he wouldn't talk about it much, Kita Ikuyo also chose not to make this matter public.

So, without knowing it, Aoki Suke started tutoring Kita Ikuyo.

Aoki Suke didn't talk much when the two of them were alone, and Kita Ikuyo, because she hadn't figured out how to face Aoki Suke, and whether she should tell the truth and lay things out in the open, etc., she also spoke much less than usual.

In short, I studied in this slightly too quiet environment until about eleven o'clock.

Kita Ikuyo went home for dinner, while Aoki Suke chose to go directly to the ramen restaurant and ordered a bowl of ramen.

After lunch, take a short break until two o'clock.

Without asking for leave, Aokisuke got on the train again and prepared to rush to the livehouse.

ps: I had a severe stomachache halfway through writing, so this chapter only has a thousand words. I will come back later to finish it. I'm going to the emergency room to make an appointment first. The pain is unbearable, my family members.

Chapter 98 The Intensifying Public Opinion Storm (2)

When we arrived at the livehouse, it was exactly two o'clock.

Aokisuke pushed the door and walked into the store. As usual, the other girls arrived earlier than Aokisuke.

Manager Xingge is probably not busy today and is also in the store.

Two o'clock was still early for business to start, and there was no other noise in the store except the sound of the girls practicing their piano.

However, due to public opinion, the current atmosphere within [STARRY] is not very good.

It was impossible for anyone not to notice the increasingly heated discussions on the Internet. As this was their first time experiencing such a thing, the remaining girls in the band were obviously unable to put this public opinion storm aside and focus on their own affairs.

Aoki Jie knew very well what the girls were thinking, but at the moment, he really didn't know how to comfort them.

Don't take it to heart, it's all just public opinion, just focus on your own efforts...

He has said these words many times, but repetition will not have much effect, nor will it be able to eliminate the public opinion that is currently in the spotlight.

Right now, all Aoki Jie can do is to establish a complete plan as soon as possible so that the current public opinion directed at him and towards ending the band will disappear as soon as possible.

As for the girls, although they were affected, everyone in the band was also very clear about it.

Keeping low pressure all the time will not have any effect. Although there are still about two weeks before the recording of "Fireworks" begins, which seems to be plenty of time, for the band that is currently finishing, these short fourteen days are actually not enough time.

So, training began in a slightly low-pressure atmosphere.

It has been about four or five days since Kita Ikuyo last had a fever and went to the hospital. After resuming training, the girl is no longer in poor condition like before, probably because she has adjusted herself well.

From the beginning when Aoki Jie took out the song "Fireworks" and till now after a long period of training, some time ago, the band was able to play this music without too many mistakes.

In the remaining two weeks, what the band needs to do now is to continuously improve the areas where mistakes may occur and enhance the coordination among the band members to make the performance sound more perfect.

Although the atmosphere in the band was dull, fortunately there were no major problems during practice. We took a break and then practiced until about five o'clock as usual.

Goto Ichiri left early because he had something to do at home today.

Ryo and Kita followed Pochi-chan and left the livehouse one after another after finishing practice.

Hongxia still needed to help in the store, so she stayed.

As for Aokisuke, he didn't need to go back to the apartment for dinner, and since he still had to teach Kita later, he was not in a hurry to leave either.

Hongxia left the recording studio first to help clean up.

It was not too late, and after finishing the training, Aokisuke practiced the electric piano alone for a while.

Although there may not be much improvement, it would be good to improve your proficiency even slightly.

Until about five twenty.

After playing "Fireworks" several times, Aokisuke walked out of the recording studio and came to the [STARRY] hall.

I originally planned to say hello to Hongxia and leave temporarily, but I found out that Hongxia was busy with something and was not in the lobby of the livehouse.

Manager Xingge was sitting in front of the computer behind the bar, but as it was almost time for business to start, she was typing on the keyboard, as if she was busy with something.

After hesitating for a moment, I prepared to go and briefly talk to the busy store manager.

He walked to the bar and was about to speak, but the store manager, Ijichi Hoshige, who was behind the laptop, spoke before Aokisuke.

He raised his eyes slightly, stopped the movement of his hands, and met Aoki's eyes.

"Aoki, can you... handle the recent public opinion regarding your band?" she asked bluntly.

Regarding the recent public opinion that the band has been facing, Ijichi Hoshige has seen it all.

She didn't want to mention this to Hongxia and the others.

The girls who had ended their band were already very worried about this, and since they couldn't think of a solution, Ijichi Xingge didn't want to add fuel to the fire.

But Aokisuke is different.

Ijichi Hoshika didn't know about Aokisuke's past life experiences, but at least she had a clear understanding of his personality. She also understood that after Aokisuke joined the band, he had his own plans in his heart and was leading the band, step by step towards becoming a "professional musician".

And Aoki Jie, who had this goal, was probably mentally prepared to experience the incident of being "slandered".

So, she could ask Aokisuke this question without any scruples.

As Hong Xia's sister, as the store manager who has watched the Ending Band grow step by step to its current state, witnessing the current situation of the Ending Band, and understanding the public opinion about the Ending Band on the Internet, it is definitely unrealistic to say that Ijichi Xingge is not worried.

Although she didn't say it, deep down, Ijichi Hoshika was still worried that this matter wouldn't be resolved, and that this would lead to something happening to the band...

The tapping of fingers on the keyboard stopped after she started speaking. Ijichi Xingge looked at Aoki Suke, waiting for his answer.

Aoki Jie was stunned for a moment, then he reacted immediately.

It was normal for Manager Xingge to be worried. On the contrary, it would be strange if she didn't ask herself.

And now the question that the Xingge store manager asked himself was—

Can the band's public opinion be dealt with...

Ever since the Ghost elements band personally stepped in a few days ago to question whether the music they released was the product of capital, the public opinion that can be seen has become increasingly louder.

Until now, there is still a trend of continuous expansion, and even some media have begun to intervene.

To be honest, if you ask Aoki Jie whether he can handle the public opinion issue "perfectly", he really can't say that he can handle it 100%.

There are too many things that can influence public opinion and the final outcome of events. Any accident may lead to a chain of more accidents.

But if we ask Aoki Jie whether he can find a way to deal with these public opinions——

As mentioned before, before going to Kita Ikuyo's house, Aokisuke had considered a solution to the rumors.

It's just that the idea was not fully formed in his mind at that time, and a few days ago, he really didn't expect that public opinion would eventually escalate to this extent.

And now...

Although he still hasn't fully thought through his plan, compared to that time, after deep consideration over the past few days, Aoki Jie can now really say "no problem".

So, looking at the manager Xingge behind the bar, Aoki Jie gave his answer.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

When Aokisuke's response reached her ears, Ijichi Xingge stared at the boy in front of her, trying to see some nervousness in his eyes.

But at this moment, Aoki Jie's words "no problem" were said too confidently.

He sighed in relief.

He lowered his head slightly, but soon, Manager Xingge raised his eyes again.

Without further asking whether Aokisuke could handle public opinion, she changed the subject.

There was a hint of hesitation in his tone that was not usually there, as if he was asking himself, but he was definitely asking Aokisuke,

"Don't you think... isn't it too early to let them bear this kind of pressure now?"

"..."

Aoki Jie was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Aoki had thought about this question before.

When the Ending Band performed live for the first time; when Hongxia joined the Ending Band and said to herself under the neon lights of the vending machine, "I must achieve success together with Aoki-senpai"; when Kita hesitated because of her wrong choice.

When I took on the collaboration for "Fireworks," when I was dealing with Kita's family and the band being unable to balance things out and things started to go wrong...

“Isn’t it too early to let these young girls bear this kind of pressure?”

When going through these things, Aoki Jie had thought about this issue.

But only at this moment, when the band ended and was swept by public opinion, Aoki Jie did not consider this problem——
