Chapter 259: Eriri wins easily
"Okay then! I'll talk to the editor, and I'll have to trouble Shiyu and Eriri from now on."

After thinking about it, Iura Hide also guessed Kasumigaoka Utaha's real purpose. After noticing from the corner of his eye that Kitagawa Umi did not show any dissatisfaction or opposition, he went with the flow and agreed to Kasumigaoka Utaha's proposal.

“Huh? Huh?!”

"So, I can be like Kitagawa Umi and not just come here occasionally to stay overnight, but move in for a long time in the future?"

"Bah, bah, bah—"

Ying Lili on the side blinked cutely.

It was not until this time that she finally reacted. She looked at everyone, then at Kasumigaoka Utaha, and finally her gaze fell on Iura Hide. A huge surprise surged in her heart, making her so excited that she almost jumped up from her chair.

"Is this, this, this a win without doing anything?"

"It turns out that Kasumigaoka Utaha is a pretty good guy sometimes~"

Eriri couldn't help but clench her fists. For the first time in such a long time, she felt that Kasumigaoka Utaha's face didn't seem so hateful anymore.

"Master Xiu will go to Fanxing tomorrow morning to rehearse for the evening performance, but Motoko-chan will stay at home this time, so go home tomorrow morning and get all the painting tools, and bring some extra clothes."

Ying Lili was secretly calculating in her mind.

Although she knew that Sayuri Sawamura would definitely cry again if she saw that she was taking away even her painting tools and was ready to move out.

But she would never miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"By the way, Xiu, should we prepare a new song for tomorrow night's performance?" Ijichi Hongxia, who was eating fried chicken nuggets on the side, suddenly asked.

Tomorrow, which is the second show on Saturday night, Ijichi Hoshige will also give them time for three songs.

The most important thing is that she got the music score of the song "You Are the One" on Monday, and after listening to the demo that Iura Hide sang that night, which Pochi-chan secretly recorded with her mobile phone, she really liked this song!

"You mean 'You Are the One'?"

Jingpu Xiu immediately guessed what she was thinking. He picked up a piece of fragrant roasted beef tongue and put it in Kitagawa Umi's bowl, while explaining helplessly: "The accompaniment of the song "You Are the One" still needs some orchestral music, otherwise it will lack some flavor. In addition, the performance will be tomorrow. Even if we want to find someone to make this part of the accompaniment temporarily, I'm afraid it's too late."

"Also, it wouldn't be appropriate to replace any of the three songs currently."

Yamada Ryo, Pochi-chan and Hoshino Ai, who also wanted to sing the new song, had to admit that what Iura Hide said made sense.

The lack of orchestral accompaniment is one reason.

But the main reason is that none of the three songs currently available would be suitable to be replaced.

Needless to say, "Sold Out" has won the weekly championship for two consecutive weeks and is even aiming for the most popular single of the year. It would be inappropriate if we don't sing it during the performance.

Especially after the release of the jam-time version last week, the online praise for this version even surpassed the original version, and many videos have also begun to use this version as background music.

In addition, "If You Can Shine" is also very popular thanks to the best-selling "April".

Although "Youth Syndrome" is not as popular as the previous two songs, it is a song sung entirely by Hoshino Ai, and the lyrics also touch them very much, so they are reluctant to change it.

so.
"I can ask my sister to add more time!" Yidizhi Hongxia's big eyes were twinkling, and it was obvious that she had already thought of a solution.

Although the performance time has been arranged long ago and even the tickets have been sold, the adjustment now will definitely affect the bands that come later and the fans who come specifically to support those bands.

However, whether from the perspective of making money or the level of intimacy, if they ask for it, Ichichi Xingge will definitely find a way to help them.

Start two minutes in advance, then delay it for two minutes, and you can still squeeze it out if you try hard.

However, after thinking about it, Iura Hide rejected her proposal.

"Forget about adding time. We can rehearse tomorrow to see how it goes. If it works, we can replace 'Sold Out'."

"Eh!? Change to 'sold out'!?"

Now, not only Ichichi Hongxia and the others, even the others couldn't help but look over in surprise.

"Well, let's change 'Sold Out'," Jing Pu Xiu explained, "First of all, that song doesn't have Xiao Ai's singing part, so it's a bit strange to perform. Secondly, the timed version of last week was already an outstanding performance. If we perform it again this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the level of last time."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise when they heard that. People like Kasumigaoka Utaha and Ozora couldn't help but reveal worried looks in their eyes.

Seeing this, Jing Pu Xiu couldn't help but smile and said: "Dumb Tape, I'm not an obsessive-compulsive person who pursues transcendence, progress, and perfection. Writing songs and singing are essentially just a hobby for me~"

Except for the silly Ryuin who didn't understand why Iura Hide suddenly said this from beginning to end, the others felt relieved after hearing it.

"Then let's do as Xiu said! I'll ask my sister for help right away to see if we can find someone to expedite the orchestral accompaniment." As Yidi Chi Hongxia said this, she couldn't wait to pick up her phone and sent a message to Yidi Chi Xingge.

After finishing dinner and helping to clean up, he didn't even participate in the other steps and hurriedly pulled Yamada Ryo away.

After the two of them left, Kitagawa Umi and the others took out the horror movie that they had carefully prepared in advance.

"Huh? A horror movie?"

"Yeah, are you afraid of horror movies, senior?"

"That won't happen."

Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but have a strange look flash across his eyes.

It is normal for boys to take girls to watch horror movies, but it is normal for girls to take the initiative to take boys to watch horror movies.
Jingpu Xiu quickly glanced at the other people and suddenly felt something was wrong.

A moment later, his premonition came true.

Not long after turning off the lights, he felt that there was someone beside him. With the help of the light from the TV screen and the soft coral-colored long hair, he immediately determined that the person should be Inusha Shouye.

At the same time, Kitagawa Umi beside him should have recognized Inui Sasaki and subconsciously exclaimed, "Why is it you?"

Then she squeezed into Jingpu Xiu's arms, trying to squeeze Qian Sha Shouye out. While the two were competing, the others were not idle either.

Except for the thin-skinned Pochi-chan and Inui Shinshou, even the silly Ryune secretly reached out his hand.

"Let's go play board games! Didn't Naiyu buy a new board game? Let's go play that~!"

Just five minutes later, Jing Pu Xiu, who couldn't stand it anymore, stood up on his own initiative, and walked over to turn on the light again while talking.

And at the moment the lights came back on, except for Kitagawa Umi and Inuisa Suzuha who were still huddled together and competing with each other, everyone else sat upright, eating snacks or drinking drinks, each one more elegant than the other, which made him almost think that everything that had just happened was just his own illusion.

but
It was impossible to watch the movie unless the lights were on.

Unfortunately, if the lights are not turned off for a horror movie, the atmosphere will be lost, so I can only play board games.

Fortunately, the board game that Nouha chose can be played by at least five people and at most twelve people, which finally made Iura Hideo breathe a sigh of relief.

In addition, perhaps because they were worried that he would consume too much energy and it would affect tomorrow's practice and performance, Kitagawa Umi and Hoshino Ai were very considerate and did not bother him tonight, and they also helped him block Inui Sasuke.

So this night, he just...
He won the four-person team with Noha Sugaya with a record of 17 wins and 1 loss, and won the solo team with Mashiro with a record of 9 wins and 1 loss.

Such consumption is obviously nothing for him who has already reached the King level.

The next morning, when the alarm rang, he sat up yawning, without even a dark circle under his eyes.

"Huh? Kyoko made breakfast and left again?"

"Yeah, that's right, but Kyoko-nee said we'll go to Fanxing to watch Onii-chan's performance tonight."

Just like last time, because Hori Yuriko had to go to work, Hori Kyoko got up early in the morning to help Motoko prepare breakfast, and then went home alone to take care of Sota.

Then everyone got up and went downstairs to have breakfast. Ozora, Kitagawa Umi and Inui Shinshou went to the studio where they had made an appointment in advance and started today's modeling work.

Inui Sasaki originally wanted to stay, but in the end he was outnumbered and was forcibly dragged away by Kitagawa Umi and Oosora.

Among the rest, Ryune was going to work part-time at her cousin's store. Yoshikawa Yuki and some of her junior high school classmates from another school had plans to go shopping for clothes together. Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were going home to pack their bags and prepare to move in.

Plus, Motoko had to stay at home to do both her and Hoshino Ai's homework.

So this time, besides Hoshino Ai, Sugaya Noha, and Pochi-chan, only Mashiro was left going to Fanxing together.

For a moment, Jingpu Xiu felt that the air on the street seemed to become much lighter and the sunshine became brighter.

"By the way, Mashiro-chan, doesn't she need to go back and paint?" On the way to the subway station, Sugaya Noha suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Mashiro with some curiosity.

Mashiro looked at her calmly and explained, "Hideo said that painting should be a combination of work and rest. I only need to paint one chapter a week. I have already finished this week's chapter, and the remaining two days of the weekend are for rest."

"Eh? So fast?" Noha Sugaya immediately showed a look of surprise.

Because she likes to read comics, she has some understanding of the work of cartoonists. For ordinary cartoonists, if they do not have the help of assistants and studios, the time for one chapter a week is still very tight.

But since Mashiro has to go to school during the day, she can still have a full rest on weekends. Isn't that too fast?
"Well, because I don't need to think about the plot and dialogue." Mashiro patiently explained, "The dialogue that Xiu described in the light novel is already perfect."

After listening to this, Noha Sugaya suddenly realized that not only did she not need to think about the plot, she could even use the characters' dialogues directly. No wonder she could do it so quickly.

But what she didn't know was that although Mashiro had to go to school during the day, she actually spent a lot of time drawing every day.

I returned home at four o'clock in the afternoon, and after finishing my work and dinner with Jingpu Xiu, I went back to my room to start painting. I continued painting until twelve o'clock, then took a shower and went to bed. In total, it was seven hours.

Moreover, Mashiro does not slack off or waste time during the painting process, but is extremely focused and dedicated, so her efficiency in seven hours is almost comparable to that of an average person in ten or even twelve hours.

Iura Hide also knew that once she started painting, she would forget everything, so he forced her to only paint one chapter a week, and use the weekends to rest, collect some scenery, and see the outside world. This would also be beneficial to Mashiro's painting skills.

"Xiu, Xiaoai, you are here!"

About forty minutes later, Iura Hide and his group arrived at Fanxing.

As usual, Ijichi Hongka, Yamada Ryo, and Ijichi Hoshige had already opened the door early and were waiting for them.

But what surprised him was that Kawahara, who had even "driven" them out of the lounge when they met last time, was also here.

At the same time, behind her, there were two other younger girls.

One of them looked to be about 20 years old, with slightly messy light-colored hair and wearing a loose black sweater with vague traces of the evil spirit.

The lower body is a pair of dark blue ripped denim shorts and black tights.

On his feet were a pair of black Martin boots.

With that slightly neutral and cold makeup, she looks like a cool and unique girl.

The other girl next to her had long, smooth, black hair in a princess style. Her pretty face, which was no less beautiful than Ijichi Hongka's, had a gentle smile similar to that of Kono Sakura. She looked like a gentle and well-behaved young lady.

"Hello, I'm Rika Kawahara. I'm so sorry for meeting you in the lounge last time!" Without waiting for Ijichi Hoshika to speak, Rika Kawahara took the initiative to greet Iura Hide and the others.

"Please don't say that. There were too many of us last time." Jingpu Xiu said politely.

Then Kawahara Rika took the initiative to introduce the two girls behind him: "This is my cousin Kawahara Momoka, she is now a street singer and also your loyal fan."

"Hello! I'm Momoka Kawahara! I really like your songs "Sold Out" and "Night Dance"! I also really like your new song "Youth Syndrome"—"

The one who spoke was the cool-looking girl. Seeing how excited she was at this moment, with her eyes shining, fists clenched, and even her speech being incoherent, she must really be a loyal fan of Iura Hide as Rika Kawahara said.

However, when Jingpu Xiu heard her name and her identity as a "street singer", he suddenly felt a strong sense of déjà vu.
