Chapter 243 Kasumigaoka Utaha's Provocation
"It's over! It's over! We're going to die!"

Chie Takasago lowered her head in embarrassment, her eyes became evasive, and she couldn't help but scream in her heart.

Usually she is smart, beautiful, gentle, generous, optimistic, cheerful, lively and cute. In short, she has no shortcomings or black history, but she has encountered such a social failure.
"It's all Xiu-senpai's fault!"

Chie Takasago couldn't help but secretly glance at Iura Hide. Her mind involuntarily recalled the scene of her rushing to Iura Hide and grabbing his collar under everyone's gaze. Suddenly, a strange feeling arose in her heart that she didn't know how to describe.

My heartbeat unconsciously became a little flustered.

Fortunately, Yidi Chi Hongxia came over at this time with four drinks that she had just made.

"Huh? What happened to you? Why do you all look weird? And did Chie-chan just cry? Why are her eyes swollen?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at the people gathered together, looked at Takasago Chie with a strange expression, and asked in confusion.

Her energetic voice was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, quickly breaking the strange atmosphere that had enveloped everyone.

"Sorry, I'm sorry. I was just too excited after reading the second volume of "April." Chie Takasago subconsciously raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face and said embarrassedly.

As expected, after hearing this, Ijichi Hongxia showed a surprised expression on her face.

"Huh? You were so excited after watching April? Is this the legendary crying with excitement? Isn't this too exaggerated!?"

"."

Chie Takasago pressed her lips awkwardly, and the tiny smile she managed with great difficulty turned stiff and rigid again.

Of course, this was actually Ijichi Hongxia deliberately teasing her in order to ease the strange atmosphere.

Then, while handing four drinks to Ishikawa Toru, Kono Sakura and the others, Ijichi Kouka said, "But April is indeed very good."

"Although I was busy practicing the piece I was going to perform tonight and didn't have time to finish watching it, after I recommended it to my classmates, they all said it was super good. Some of them have already watched it two or three times in just one day."

Kono Sakura took the drink and said with a smile: "Although the plot itself is not particularly novel, the writing is really excellent. It seems like listening to a serenade that is sometimes soothing and sometimes cheerful. I couldn't help but stay up late to finish reading it twice."

At this time, it is unknown whether Kasumigaoka Utaha felt a similar temperament from Kono Sakura. Hearing this, he glanced at Kono Sakura lightly, then habitually crossed his arms and said, "The seemingly simple plot can be described so delicately and movingly, which shows the author's skill. However, simply comparing "April" to a serenade is too superficial and one-sided."

"Really?" Sakura Kono was slightly stunned at first, as if she didn't expect Kasumigaoka Utaha to "provoke" her.

Then she came to her senses and subconsciously reached out to adjust her glasses. Looking at Kasumigaoka Utaha in front of her, a sense of fighting spirit unconsciously ignited in her heart.

Plus, there is another person next to her, Chie Takasago, who is still immersed in the sad ending of "April" and has a lot to say.

And one, Eriri, who is full of fighting spirit as soon as she sees Kasumigaoka Utaha. Another big fight is about to begin!
"Hey, don't you know that it's embarrassing to discuss other people's works in front of the author, whether it's a good review or a bad review?"

Iura Hide hurriedly complained in a dissatisfied manner, trying to prevent the war from happening.

At the same time, Chie Takasago also remembered that she had just suffered a social death, so she quickly gave up the idea of ​​"joining the battle", turned to look at Kouka Ijichi, and began to cooperate with Kouka Ijichi to change the subject.

"Sister Hongxia, don't you have any friends coming over tonight?"

Upon hearing this, Ichichi Hongxia spread her hands, glanced at Jingura Xiu and said, "I do have quite a few friends who want to come and support my debut, but as you can see, there are too many people who want to watch the premiere tonight. If our Fanxing is not too small, I feel that even if there are a thousand tickets, they can all be sold out within 24 hours, so I can only ask them to come next time~"

After saying this, she pretended to sigh helplessly, but looking at her proud and complacent expression, you can tell how happy she is at the moment.

After all, if it weren't for Iura Hide, she would have been worried to death just trying to meet the basic ticket sales target.

"Sister Hongxia, are you guys going to go on stage for rehearsal later?"

"I'm afraid it's too late for this."

Ijichi Hongxia picked up her phone and checked the time, then explained, "Although most of the guests tonight are here to see our band's premiere."

"But in order to fill up the performance time, there are three other bands that will perform on stage between seven and eight o'clock."

"According to the time, they will be here soon."

"In addition, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having no fans in the audience during their performance, my sister also gave them ten tickets."

“So their fans should be here soon.”

"But is it really okay not to rehearse again?" Yuki Yoshikawa, who had not seen Iura Hide and the others rehearse in the morning, could not help but ask with concern.

Although Hori Kyoko and Eriri on the side did not say anything, they also looked at Iura Hide with concern in their eyes.

After all, Iura Hide and the others were busy putting on makeup and taking photos this afternoon and haven't touched a musical instrument for several hours. Is this really okay?
"Stupid tape~"

Jing Pu Xiu explained with a smile: "Band performance is just like an exam. As long as you have mastered the knowledge points, the rest depends on your mentality on the spot, so don't worry, we will be fine~"

Upon hearing this, Yuki Yoshikawa couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

She originally wanted to say: "Don't let your overconfidence ruin the performance."

However, in order to avoid becoming a pessimist, she hesitated for a moment and still did not say this out loud.

Just at this time, Ryuin, the only one absent from the four-member hot girl group including Kitagawa Umi, finally arrived.

And she didn't come empty-handed. When she walked in, she was holding a big shopping bag in her hand.

Everyone immediately skipped the topic and turned to look at Liu Yin.

"Liyin, you are finally here! This is Liyin, my good sister of Haimeng and me."

I don't know why, but when Noha Sugaya looked at Ryune who was walking over, she had an inexplicable feeling that the four of them had finally completed their fusion and the battle speed had doubled in an instant.

As for Sakura Kono and Toru Ishikawa who were meeting Ryune for the first time, they didn't need her to introduce them. They just took one look at Ryune's beautiful face and figure and couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Iura Hide.

"It goes without saying that such a beautiful girl must have come to support Jing Pu again~"

Ayazaki Reimi first complained quietly, then turned her head slightly to look at Kono Sakura beside her. If she remembered correctly, Kono Sakura should have a good impression of Iura Hide, or even a crush on Iura Hide.

But at this moment, she unexpectedly discovered that the expression on Kono Sakura's face was very calm. Not to mention anger, disappointment, or dissatisfaction, even surprise did not appear, which made her very confused.

"Does Sakura no longer like Jing Pu?"

"But that's true. Who made Jing Pu so fickle?"

"It's a pity. If you weren't so unfaithful, a guy like Jing Pu who is handsome, has a good personality, and is so talented would be a good boyfriend."

Ayazaki Reimi couldn't help but mutter in her heart, but she quickly put it behind her and a slightly strange look appeared on her face.

At the same time, Sugaya Noha and the other two, who were originally inexplicably excited about Ryune's arrival, were so upset that they almost wanted to pretend that they didn't know Ryune.

because
"What are you holding in your hand?"

"Support~"

Liuyin said this as she proudly opened the shopping bag and counted out the various support items inside one by one.

"How about glow sticks, plastic palms for clapping, empty plastic bottles with small steel balls, and cheering signs and hairpins that can be written with fluorescent pens? I'm well prepared, right?"

After saying that, Liuyin raised her chin proudly, looking like she was being awesome and asked people to praise her immediately. This made the others around her almost unable to hold back their laughter.

No, Yamada Ryo, Inui Sa Suza, and Hiroi Kikuri, these three guys really laughed out loud.

"Idiot! Plastic palms and plastic bottles with small steel balls, and other things besides fluorescent pens, are only used in the performance halls in Akihabara that provide performance stages for underground idols. More importantly, fluorescent sticks and light boards are sold here!"

"Eh? Is that so?"

Liuyin blinked with a silly look on his face and subconsciously reached out to scratch his head.

She had only been to the performance hall in Akihabara and watched performances by underground idol groups, so she thought it was the same in Shimokitazawa.

Noha Sugaya looked at the clear stupidity in her eyes and for a moment her fists could not help but harden.

But this is Liuyin!

If there were only four of them, she would definitely not be so excited. After all, the three of them were already used to Liuyin's stupidity.

But the problem is, there are other people around this time! Especially Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri, and Inuisa Suzuha.

Liuyin's silly behavior makes them embarrassed as well.

At this time, Dakong on the side also sighed silently in his heart, and then couldn't help but worry about Liuyin.

With Liuyin's silly look, how will she find a boyfriend in the future?
Even if you find a boyfriend, what if he turns out to be a scumbag and abandons you?
Don't let the time come when the three of them are living happily with Iura Hide, and only the stupid Ryune is left alone, and might even have to worry about her livelihood. Wouldn't that be too pitiful?
"No! I can't just stand there and watch! I have to help Ryune!"

"After all, we are best sisters!"

"If the three of us don't help Liuyin, who else can help Liuyin?"

Thinking of this, a strong sense of mission suddenly arose in Dakong's heart.

Yes, the four of them are the best of sisters, and they are already in high school. If they don’t think about the future when their grades are too bad to get into college, it will be too late after graduation.

Dakong looked at Liuyin with flickering eyes, and many thoughts flashed through his mind quickly.

"Alright, alright, Noha, don't blame Ryune. She just means well. And who says the band can't use these? Even if we can't use them during the performance, we can use them during the breaks~"

At this time, Jingura Hide also took the initiative to step forward and smooth things over, and inadvertently, he successfully gained a wave of gratitude from Ryune, and his favorability increased by at least ten points.

On the other hand, Noha Sugaya and Kaimeng Kitagawa did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied when they saw him speaking for Ryune. Instead, they once again lamented his gentleness and thoughtfulness.

At the same time, I couldn't help but secretly complain in my heart: "Sure enough, when looking for a boyfriend, you should look for a sunny, handsome, gentle and considerate guy like a senior. Like the ones in the comics, I don't know what they are thinking when they ignore such a handsome guy and instead like the yellow-haired and otaku heroine."

Then Noha Sugaya's eyes turned and the same thought as Ozora popped up in her head.

"Forget it, we are good sisters after all."

"Let's give this guy Liuyin a chance this time and let him be the senior's girlfriend."

"But how should we do it? Should we set a trap for the senior like we did last night? Or should we just bring Ryune along to attack the senior together?"

Jing Pu Xiu who was standing by suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck, and then a bad feeling emerged from the bottom of his heart, making him frown unconsciously.

"What? What's the matter with this sudden bad feeling?"

"Is there going to be a problem with the performance later?"

"How about calling Xiao Ai and the others to practice again?"

Thinking of this, Jingpu Xiu immediately took out his mobile phone and checked the time without leaving a trace, then frowned and looked towards the entrance of the exhibition hall.

As time went by, other guests who had bought tickets in advance entered the performance hall one after another.

He didn't know whether any of them came specifically to see their band's performance, but it was obviously impossible for them to rehearse on stage. The best they could do was to practice in the backstage lounge before other bands arrived.

"But I just said that we don't need to practice. If I suddenly change my mind now, will it affect Xiao Ai and Hong Xia's state and make them nervous?"

Thinking of this, Jingpu Xiu suddenly hesitated again.

But what made him feel lucky was that before he could figure out how to start talking, Ichichi Xingge took the initiative to assist him.

"Okay, okay, let's pause for a moment. Do you guys still want to eat pizza? If not, I'll put it away."
