In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

After sitting down, Shiina Ritsuki glanced around but didn't see Hachiman Kairin. Then he turned to look at the boy.

"Zejun, Hailing..."

When she said the name, she realized the other person might not know her friend, so she stopped, looking apologetic.

"I'm sorry, Ze Jun probably doesn't know her yet."

After saying that, she opened her phone and sent a message.

Shirakawa pretended to react for a moment, then spoke.

"Is Riki asking about Hachiman Kairin?"

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"Does Ze Jun know her?"

Shirakawa handed over the stack of application forms in front of him.

"She represented fifteen bands in the competition by herself, so it's hard not to remember her."

The drummers understood.

"Hailin has indeed been active in many bands."

Just then, her phone screen lit up; it was a message from Hachiman Kairin.

"On my way to rehearsal, I won't be able to get there until tonight."

After replying with an "OK," she put her phone away and then glanced around the store again.

"Ze-kun, didn't Senior Liang come to work today?"

Shirakawa Ze shook his head.

"They've also signed up for the competition, and they should be practicing these past two days."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded.

"I haven't seen Ryo-senpai's live performance yet."

She suddenly remembered what had happened before and continued,

“I ran into him a while ago; it seemed like he was doing volunteer work.”

Shirakawa Ze couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"Volunteer?"

To be honest, he was quite curious about what kind of volunteer work Yamada Ryo would do.

No matter how you look at it, this person has no connection with the volunteers.

Shiina Tatsuki nodded.

"Yes, I saw her clearing weeds from the green belt."

"She looked like she was doing volunteer work, so I didn't bother her."

Looking at the innocent-looking girl, Shirakawa couldn't help but laugh, thinking to himself, "It's a good thing you didn't go to say hello, otherwise my wallet might have been bleeding money."

Shiina Tatsuki was a little confused, but didn't ask any further questions.

For some reason, she always felt that the other person didn't seem to respect Yamada Ryo very much.

Such a talented person...

Around 7 p.m., Hachiman Kairin walked in with four other band members. When she saw Shiina Tatsuki sitting at the ticket counter, her eyes flickered, and she nodded in acknowledgment.

The latter nodded in response.

Compared to these two, the other spectators in the store were not as calm.

The audience began to discuss the young woman who had performed as the bassist for five bands in just two days.

"Here she goes again!"

"This is the fifth time!"

"Are you a human?"

"Hey, revive quickly and see Kami!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, Hachiman Kairin followed her four teammates onto the stage to begin preparations.

Shiina Tatsuki stood up, found a better vantage point, and gazed at the stage.

She wasn't particularly interested in the other person's performance; she came over out of a sense of reciprocity.

After all, the other party had gone to see her live performance yesterday.

After the performance, Hachiman Kairin stepped off the stage and went to Shiina Tatsuki's side.

"have you eaten yet?"

--"have eaten."

Hachiman Kaizu asked questions knowingly,

"Do you know the organizers?"

Shiina Tatsuki nodded.

"I know him; he is the lamp's lover."

Hachiman Kairin gazed at the girl before her.

"They seem to have a very good relationship."

A smile spread across Shiina Tatsuki's face, and joy appeared in her eyes.

"Yes, they have a very good relationship."

Seeing the other person's first reaction, Hachiman Kairin was certain of one thing.

[It seems Li Xi is very happy to see the two of them getting along so well.]

[Then she probably doesn't have any ulterior motives towards either of them.]

Some guesses can be ruled out.

However, she didn't show anything, nor did she continue the topic.

"Then I'll go back first."

"I don't have any bands coming over."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, preparing to say goodbye, but then suddenly remembered that she had already seen the other person's performance and there was no need to stay and be a third wheel, so she spoke up.

"I'll go with you."

"Wait a moment, I'll go say hello."

A look of surprise flashed in Hachiman Kairin's eyes, but it quickly disappeared. She gave a blank "hmm" and walked to the door to wait.

Shiina Tatsuki greeted the two people sitting at the ticket counter, and then left with the mercenaries.

The two walked out of STARRY. Hachiman Kairin glanced at the taiko drummer beside her.

"I send you?"

Shiina Tatsuki shook her head.

"no need."

She felt it was unnecessary, since the two were classmates and saw each other every day during school.

There's not much I really want to say to the other person.

Yawata Kairin nodded and said nothing more.

The two arrived at the tram station together, boarded two different trams, and went their separate ways home.

Volume 1: Chapter 184 The Little Band is Full of Hidden Talents

After Shiina Tatsuki and Hachiman Kairin left, some audience members immediately ran up to Shirakawa Sawa and whispered their questions.

"Um... if I may ask, will that bassist from earlier be performing again?"

Shirakawa Sawa shook his head with a polite smile.

"I'm not entirely sure about that, since even if someone signs up, they might not actually come."

The audience nodded, somewhat disappointed.

Suddenly, one of them realized what was happening.

"From what you're saying, she's involved in more than just these five bands that signed up, is that right?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

The audience immediately became excited.

"So, out of the bands that signed up, how many bands did she participate in?"

Shirakawa Sawa did not answer.

"I'm sorry, I can't disclose that."

However, this issue is no longer that critical.

As everyone now knows, this bassist who participated in five competitions in two days and achieved second, third, sixth, seventh, and ninth place will most likely make another appearance.

This news has injected new vitality into this match, which had begun to lose popularity.

For the next three days, many people came to watch the competition just to see how many times Hachiman Kairin would appear and how many of the thirty prizes she would win.

Shirakawa was somewhat surprised by how things unfolded.

He originally thought that no one would come to visit in the next few days.

After all, once the top few are determined in this kind of racing competition, it loses its biggest appeal and its popularity will plummet.

So he was all set to happily open for business over the next two days.

As a result, a certain legendary mercenary managed to stay alive, which allowed him to maintain a considerable amount of popularity in the later stages of the competition, forcing him to continue guarding the ticket machine.
