Chapter 252: Kasumigaoka Utaha is causing trouble

"Eh? Have you got any ideas for Xiu's new song yet?"

Everyone showed a look of surprise, considering that "Youth Syndrome" and "Glimmer of Light" had not been released yet, and "I Want to Tell You" was not planned to be released.

Iura Hide has been quite productive during this period.

Now I have inspiration again?
This is too exaggerated!
Jing Pu Xiu smiled and shrugged, thinking to himself, "Inspiration", doesn't it just take hands?

He even plans to produce three songs in a row this time.

One of the songs was for Hoshino Ai. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally chose "Running Towards the Night", which made YOASOBI a legend as soon as they debuted.

There's not much to say about this song. Although it can't compare to "Idol" which broke countless records, it can still be considered a classic.

As for the other two songs, he planned to sing them himself.

One of them is the representative work of the first-line singer-songwriter Masayoshi Oishi, the OP of "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun" "You Are the One".

With a slight adaptation, this song can be turned into a duet version, which is not inferior to the original version at all.

It is also worth mentioning that "Signal B", the representative work of Hoshino Ai in "Pushers", topped the weekly championship in less than two weeks after Hoshino Ai's comeback. The song "Signal B", which helped Hoshino Ai return to the throne of the number one idol, was written and composed by Oishi Masayoshi.

It was because of this song that he thought of Oishi Masayoshi's "You Are the One"

Unfortunately, "Code B" is a standard Japanese girl idol group song. It would feel a bit awkward for the current lead singer of the Hoshino Ai band to sing it.

As for the other song, it is Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s representative work “青と夏”.

There's not much to say about this song. It's a standard Japanese youth rock song. Since its release, it has never fallen out of the weekly charts and has even reached the top.

However, the experience of the band Mrs. GREEN APPLE seemed somewhat legendary to him.

The band Mrs. GREEN APPLE was formed in 2013, but it has never been famous since its formation. After barely making it to 2020, it had to take an "indefinite hiatus", which was almost equivalent to disbanding.

But in 2022, their band's lead singer and songwriter Mototaka Omori seemed to have suddenly turned on a star. He first became popular again with the song "Dance Hall", then reached the peak with "青と夏", and then released several excellent works in succession.

At the most exaggerated time, five songs broke into the top 40 of the weekly chart at the same time, which even Baye, Ado, and YOASOBI have never achieved.

With the help of such achievements, they became the undisputed most popular band in Japan in those years.

So Iura Hide had been eyeing their songs for a long time.

Now it is almost May and summer is coming, so it is natural to release this song "青と夏".

Otherwise, we can't wait until autumn or winter to take it out, right?

Plus, he can also ask Pochi-chan and Yamada Ryoya to write a few songs, and that would be enough for an album.

"Then play it for us!" Kyoko Hori's heart moved at this moment, an expectant expression appeared on her face, and she spoke quickly.

Of course, listening to music is only secondary. The main thing is that if Jingpu Xiu wants to play, he needs to go back to the room.

In this way, wouldn't it be possible to reshuffle the position next to Iura Hide, which was originally firmly occupied by Sugaya Noha and Yoshikawa Yuki?

That's right, after seeing Yoshikawa Yuki become so proactive, she also began to get eager to make a move.

However, Sugaya Noha, who was occupying the most advantageous position at the moment, didn't know whether she saw through her little thoughts or simply didn't want to lose the opportunity to lean on Iura Hide's arms openly. Without waiting for Iura Hide to say anything, she retorted: "I think it's better to forget it! Playing is also very tiring. The senior has started rehearsing since this morning. He must be very tired, so let's talk about it another day~"

Before he finished speaking, invisible sparks seemed to fly where Sugaya Noha and Hori Kyoko's eyes met.

The sudden smell of gunpowder made Jingpu Xiudu vaguely sense that something was wrong.

To be honest, he had played for quite a long time today, and the performance had lasted almost three hours. However, because they played separately and not together, he did not feel very tired.

However, although he had not yet figured out what Sugaya Noha and Hori Kyoko were competing against each other, he could vaguely sense that whether he agreed or refused, one of them would be unhappy.

Although he and Noha Sugaya have not yet been "officially dating", they have done everything they should and shouldn't do, and it is impossible for him not to consider Noha Sugaya's feelings.

But he also couldn't ignore Hori Kyoko's feelings.

Not to mention that both of them have now realized each other's feelings, the only thing left is to break the last layer of window paper.

Even if there was no such relationship, the two of them were originally each other's best friends of the opposite sex.

Now Sugaya Noha and Hori Kyoko were in an "inexplicable" confrontation, which made him feel a headache.

As for the others, they just looked like spectators, especially Eriri. Although she tried very hard to control her expression, her big, blinking eyes were gleaming with excitement. She looked like she was just about to grab a bottle of beer and a plate of sunflower seeds and peanuts and eat them while cheering.

"It's okay. I'm not that tired at all."

I don't know if it was the power of the desire to survive, but although Iura Hide didn't figure out why the two were arguing, he made the most "correct" choice at the moment.

"——Isn't Pochi's guitar over there? Just play it a little bit with Pochi's guitar." Iura Hide said quickly.

That's right, although she bounced, she didn't go back to the room. In this way, Sugaya Noha, who successfully defended her position, must be satisfied. This can be seen from the fact that she slightly raised her chin and took her eyes away.

As for Hori Kyoko, although she was somewhat unhappy about not being able to achieve her hidden goal, she was satisfied that Iura Hideken took her feelings into consideration and played the music for her. After all, Iura Hideken didn't know what she was planning, right?

But at this moment, Kasumigaoka Utaha, who had been behaving herself, pretended to be casual and said, "Pochi-chan isn't here, and Xiu is using her guitar without her consent. Isn't that inappropriate?"

When Jingpu Xiu heard this, his face suddenly froze. He never expected that she would suddenly jump out and cause trouble at this time.

On the other side, Sugaya Noha and Hori Kyoko also frowned slightly, glanced at Kasumigaoka Utaha suspiciously, and then turned their heads to look at Iura Hide again.

What Kasumigaoka Utaha said was not wrong. Pochi-chan is not here, so how could Iura Hide just touch Pochi-chan's "real body" without her consent?

How is this different from entering without consent?
So what should Iura Hideo choose now?

Should I go back to my room and play on my own arranger keyboard, or should I play it next time?

Obviously, no matter how Iura Hide chooses, one of Sugaya Noha and Hori Kyoko will be unhappy, and Kasumigaoka Utaha will win no matter what she chooses. Of course, if possible, she still hopes that Iura Hide can choose to go back to the room and play on the keyboard, so that she can win more.

However, at this moment, a timid voice suddenly came from the crowd and said, "Ah, yes. It's okay for you to use my guitar."

"???"

Everyone subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and one by one, looking at Pochi-chan who appeared there out of nowhere, they all couldn't help but have big question marks on their heads.

"Didn't you go take a shower?!" Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but blurt out and this was also the question that others had.

"I... I'm done washing." Pochi-chan's pretty face turned slightly red when she heard that. She rubbed the corners of her clothes subconsciously with her hands and said in a low voice shyly.

Then, as expected, everyone had a lot of question marks in their heads.

"finished Wash?"

"Did it take five minutes in total?"

"Could this guy just go in and change his clothes and come out?"

Everyone couldn't help but secretly complain.

In fact, although Pochi-chan didn't just go in and change clothes and come out, the actual "bath" time did not exceed three minutes.

The whole process is basically, rinse, apply shower gel, and then rinse again. Not only have the steps been simplified to the minimum, but even the movements seem to be fast-forwarded.

This way it’s really hard not to be happy!

Obviously, Pochi-chan has also worked hard!
This can be seen from the way she is wearing at this moment.

Everyone's eyes followed her movements and moved downwards unconsciously.
Although Pochi-chan is about five centimeters shorter than Hori Kyoko, the difference in size between the two fruits is so great that a T-shirt of the same length looks shorter on her than on Hori Kyoko.

Even when standing, the white panties were already faintly visible.

"."

"No way?"

"Even Pochi-chan has become useless following Kyoko Hori and Yuki Yoshikawa's example?"

I don’t know if they felt something, but Kyoko Hori and Yuki Yoshikawa couldn’t help but look at each other, and a hint of embarrassment flashed in their eyes.

On the other hand, while making complaints, Iura Hide couldn't help but feel like he was feasting his eyes. After all, who can resist a pretty girl like Pochi-chan showing off her panties in front of them?
However, such words alone could not affect his Dao determination, which had become increasingly solid, so he only glanced at it twice and then looked away before anyone else.

This also made Kasumigaoka Utaha, Hori Kyoko and others who noticed this feel very satisfied.

For a moment, the world where only Pochi-chan was injured was reached again.

"Since Pochi-chan has finished washing, then, Utaha and Eriri, who of you two will go wash first?" Iura Hide turned his head and looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri.

He swore that he was not deliberately taking revenge on Kasumigaoka Utaha for her previous actions. It was just that apart from Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri, the only ones who had not taken a shower yet were Mashiro and Sugaya Noha.

He could already sense that Noha Sugaya obviously wanted to drag it out to the end like she did yesterday.

As for Mashiro, he is very worried now. If he asks Mashiro to take a bath, Mashiro will directly say "Xiu, help me wash". In that case, even his thick skin can't stand it!
There's nothing wrong with taking a bath together, but it would expose the fact that he had taken advantage of Mashiro before by taking advantage of her!

"I'll go first!" Kasumigaoka Utaha glanced at Iura Hide, and then unexpectedly took the initiative to say so.

"But I want to listen to Xiu's new song before I go."

No one found it strange. Pochi-chan, who was originally a little overwhelmed, hurried to her previous seat, picked up the guitar and handed it to Iura Hide.

"Well, then let's sing this song 'You Are the One'!" Jingpu Xiu said after thinking for a while.

Although "You and Summer" performed better, perhaps because of "Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun", he actually liked "If You Are the One" more.

"Eh? It has to be you?"

"Well, this song can be sung by a male soloist or by a male and female duet. This way, we can record two versions of the song and make double the money~"

Jingpu Xiu deliberately showed a smug expression and said jokingly.

Unfortunately, Noha Sugaya and the others did not find it funny, because their attention was all focused on the song title "Fei Ni Mo Shu" and the "duet". Their eyes flickered and no one knew what they were thinking about.

But when the super sweet lyrics, like a couple in love acting coquettishly to each other, and the cheerful melody sounded together.

The random thoughts in their heads soon stopped, and the only thing left in their eyes was Jingpu Xiu playing the guitar, and the only thing left in their ears was his singing.

If there is any other thought,
"Wow! This song is so beautiful!"

"And they can sing duets between men and women!"

"It's decided! After this song is released, I must practice it well and then perform it with Senior (Hideo-sama)."

At this moment, even Pochi-chan couldn't help blushing and staring at Iura Hide blankly. Suddenly, she had an urge to sing this song with Iura Hide on the stage, not to mention other people.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but envy Hoshino Ai, who not only was a younger sister who could be with Iura Hide every day, but also had amazing talent and could sing on the stage with Iura Hide.

In the bathroom on the second floor, Hoshino Ai, who was taking a bath with Motoko and Kitagawa Umi, felt the warm water wrapping her whole body and she couldn't help but close her eyes comfortably.

As the daughter of a thief since childhood, after her mother was put in prison, she was sent to an orphanage. Hoshino Ai was hated and rejected by everyone at school and in the orphanage. She probably never thought that one day she would be envied by so many people.

Of course, Hoshino Ai is still very satisfied with her current life.

But she is greedy and wants more!

"Sister Haimeng, you are right. I also feel that Kanesa Shouye will do something bad to Onii-chan tonight, so I will help you protect Onii-chan!"
