Zongman: People are in the music show, relaxed and happy

"It's impossible for him to be wearing a mango box after he goes on stage, right?"

"How can we perform in this case?"

With a heavy heart, Goto Ichiri lay on the table for four classes.

During the break at noon, she took her guitar and hid in the storage room on the top floor. She sat in the corner playing the guitar and singing the songs she wrote for herself to relieve her heavy mood.

About half an hour later, the door of the storage room was pushed open. Goto Ichiri suddenly became nervous. He immediately hid his guitar behind him, then curled up into a ball, not daring to look towards the door.

"Goto-san?"

came a familiar voice.

Goto Ichiri raised her head and saw Shirakawa Ze standing at the door, looking at her with a little confusion and surprise on his face.

"That...I..."

Goto Ichiri looked away, hesitating, trying to find a reason to explain why he was here, but he couldn't think of one for a while.

When they were in class in the morning, Baichuan Ze noticed that the other party's mood was not right, and he seemed somewhat disappointed.

But he didn't ask.

Because it was his turn on duty today, the teacher asked him to go to the storage room on the top floor to get the cleaning tools. Unexpectedly, he met Goto Ichiri here.

He saw a stool that was wiped especially clean, so he walked over and sat down, then looked at the girl huddled in the corner with a gentle gaze.

"Goto-san, I feel like you're in a bad mood today."

"Is it that things aren't going well with the band?"

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Goto Ichiri touched the guitar behind him and nodded.

"Ah~ I, I was a little too nervous. When I was standing on the stage, I saw the eyes of the people below and I tensed up unconsciously. I couldn't hear the beat and couldn't keep up with the rhythm..."

"Although I can barely complete the rehearsal by putting myself in a box, it is definitely not possible if I want to perform normally..."

Baichuan Ze showed a look of understanding on his face.

"Goto-san, have you never performed on stage before?"

The girl nodded.

He went on to say,

“It will be difficult at first.”

"I just heard you playing the guitar so well outside the door, I thought you were a professional who often performed on stage."

Goto Ichiri smiled a little embarrassedly.

"No, no, I only started playing guitar in the first grade of junior high school. I taught myself completely."

Baichuan Ze had a look of admiration in his eyes.

"Is it that great?"

"Goto-san is the legendary genius, right?"

“I never thought that I would be assigned to the same class as a guitar genius, and that he would sit next to me!”

"I was wondering why I felt like I was being helped by God when practicing guitar recently. Now it seems that I was probably influenced by Goto's genius!"

This series of praises made Goto Ichiri feel a little elated, as if he was standing on a golden stage, receiving overwhelming cheers from the audience below.

“Hehe…hehehe…nothing…”

Goto Ichiri scratched the back of his head, the corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and his mood improved a lot.

Shirakawa continued,

"Since you can complete the rehearsal by putting on the box, it means that Goto-san's technical ability is more than enough."

"The problem we are facing now may be that it will be more tense."

He looked into the girl's eyes.

"Goto-san, look me in the eyes. If you were on stage and saw me in the audience, would you be nervous?"

Goto Ichiri looked at Shirakawa Ze and shook his head.

"If... it's Shirakawa-san, he probably won't be nervous."

“Because I’m more familiar with it.”

Baichuanze clapped his hands.

"Right, you won't be nervous once you're familiar with it."

"You treat people this way, and you treat things this way, too."

“You’re nervous not only because of the new audience, but also because of the new people and the new stage.”

“It’s not something that can be solved by simply attributing the problem to the audience.”

"In that case, I think you can first get familiar with your partners and the stage you are about to step onto."

“I believe that once you are familiar with these two points, you will feel much better when facing the audience.”

Goto Ichiri's eyes lit up, and he felt his mind was opened up, and confidence followed.

She looked at Baichuanze, joy dancing in her pure eyes.

"Well! I'll try harder!"

"Thank you, Shirakawa-san!"

Baichuanze smiled and waved his hand.

"No need to thank me. With your previous efforts and current strength, you are destined to shine on the stage."

After saying this, he stood up to get the necessary cleaning tools and left.

Goto Ichiri looked in the direction where Shirakawa Ze left, his eyes full of expectations for the future.

Volume 1: Chapter 28 Xiaoxiang, Don’t Leave! (Additional chapters)

Because there was a band activity after school, Yamada Ryo didn't have time, so he sent Shirakawa Ze a chart of the Dm and Em chords and asked him to find time to practice on his own.

So after school, Shirakawa Ze went directly to the public music classroom to practice.

After practicing for a while, Shirakawa Ze felt as if someone was watching him. He turned his head and saw Toyokawa Shoko sitting near the back door looking at him.

"good evening."

Baichuanze smiled and greeted him.

Toyokawa Shoko also had a smile on her face, her eyes were gentle,

"From your looks, have you just started learning guitar?"

The young man nodded,

"Aren't you going to practice piano today?"

Toyokawa Shoko stood up, walked to the piano,

"Start now."

After sitting down, she took out a music score from her bag and placed it on the music stand. She took a look at it and began to move her hands on the keys.

Different from the previous two times he heard the piano music, this time Shirakawa Ze felt that the piano music was full of joy, and even had some visual images, as if a lost traveler had found a companion he could rely on after experiencing all kinds of twists and turns.

Unconsciously, his fingers began tapping on his legs, keeping the beat. The sound of the piano made him feel a little happier, with a faint smile on his lips.

From time to time, Shoko Toyokawa would turn her head to look, and after seeing the other person's eyes and expression, she was sure that he once again felt what she was saying in the piano music.

She unconsciously became more cheerful, and the rhythm of her fingers began to become more brisk.

At the end of the song, Toyokawa Shoko felt that the emotions in her heart had not been fully expressed, so she played another song.

After she finished playing, she turned her head to look at Shirakawa Ze, and saw his bright eyes looking at her with joy. She felt extremely happy and had more energy to go to work later.

"Perhaps only at this moment in my life can I feel happy."

Toyokawa Shoko put away the music sheet, closed the keyboard cover, then stood up and looked towards Shirakawa Ze.

"Classmate, I want to go back."

Shirakawa Ze also put away his guitar,

"I'm ready to go too, let's go together."

The girl nodded, and the two of them walked out of the classroom together.

At this time, the sun was setting and fiery clouds were raging in the sky.

Although they had not introduced themselves to each other yet, it did not stop the two of them from talking and laughing as they walked towards the school gate.

Maybe because she was too relaxed, or maybe because her attention was focused on Shirakawa Ze, Toyokawa Shoko didn't look at the school gate, and naturally didn't notice the skirt of Tsuki no Mori's school uniform exposed by the school gate...

When the two walked to the school gate and were about to say goodbye, a voice trembling with disbelief appeared.

"Xiao Xiang?!"

The two stopped communicating and looked at each other at the same time, and saw Nagasaki Suyo standing at the school gate with her hand covering her mouth and a look of shock.

Toyokawa Shoko's pupils dilated slightly, the smile on her face froze instantly, and then completely disappeared. She turned around and walked to the other side at a very fast pace.

Nagasaki Suyo immediately followed.

"Xiao Xiang, don't go!"

"wait for me a while!"

"Can we sit down and talk it over?"

"Xiaoxiang! o(╥﹏╥)o"
