I have pure love with them

Ijichi Hongxia, wearing a light grass-colored coat, returned to the store at some point and heard Izumi's question. When Ijichi Hoshika was about to "interrogate" Izumi, she took the initiative to speak out her own thoughts.

The slender, fair legs full of girlish vitality were still eye-catching in the dark basement. Ichichi Hongxia walked briskly and raised her hand and waved gently towards Quan.

"Long time no see, Chihaya-kun."

"Good afternoon, Senior Hong Xia, did you hear me?"

Looking at the sunny girl who exuded a healing aura, Quan smiled and returned the greeting.

"Well, I've heard a little bit, but right now I'm just thinking about how to let more people feel the charm of the band and 'Starry'. Marriage is not something I'm considering for now."

"Is this considered a rejection? I feel a little disappointed, but the manager should be relieved now, right?"

After hearing the answer from Ijichi Hongxia, Quan, who was just joking casually, did not feel disappointed at all. He looked at Ijichi Xingge with a smile.

But after hearing her sister's answer, the elder sister, Ijichi Hoshika, did not smile at all, but looked a little depressed.

“…Well.”

Seeing Quan looking at herself, Yijichi Xingge made a muffled sound as a response.

"By the way, Goto-san, aren't you coming with Chihaya-kun this time?"

Ijichi Nichina did not notice her sister's expression, but looked at Izumi with curiosity and asked him about Goto Ichiri.

"Well, she's at home today, is there anything you want to talk to her about?"

Seeing that Ijichi Kouka took the initiative to talk about Goto Ichiri, Izumi no longer actively recommended Goto Ichiri to her. Anything that happens too frequently will attract attention and even disgust, so when the other party took the initiative to talk about Goto Ichiri, Izumi did not talk about forming a band.

"Yeah... I'm a little concerned because, weren't Goto-san and Chihaya-kun together before? And Goto-san is a guitarist, so I want to get to know her better."

Ijichi Kouka replied with a smile. She had already decided to form a band with her friend Yamada Ryo, but currently the band only had her on drums and Ryo on bass, and there were no suitable candidates for the others. In addition, based on Izumi's previous recommendation, she also became interested in Goto Ichiri.

212. Am I hated?

"Is it okay to contact her now?"

Looking at Ijichi Kouka in front of him, Izumi learned that she had become interested in Goto Ichiri. He was happy to see such development and thought about contacting Goto Ichiri.

"Eh? Now?"

However, after hearing what Quan said, Ijichi Hongxia was stunned for a moment, but after she reacted, she waved her hands repeatedly.

"This will be too much trouble for Goto-san. I will ask her next time she comes over."

"Then I'll tell her after I meet her tomorrow."

"Please, Chihaya-kun."

If conditions permit, Ijichi Kouka also hopes that her own band can be formed as soon as possible. Seeing Yamada Ryo doing nothing all day, she is worried that Yamada Ryo will lose his way in life.

Although there are many people related to the band in the store, it is not so simple and easy to find a member who can keep up with her and Yamada Ryo's level and will not cause conflicts within the team.

They have not met many times, but among the guitarists that Ichichi Kouka has observed, there are not many who meet her expectations, and Goto Ichiri is currently her first choice.

"Goto-san's personality isn't suitable for joining an ordinary band, but if it's Nijigasaki-senpai's band, I think it would be a good fit for her."

"Chihaya-kun, you take good care of Goto-kun."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but sigh.

She didn't know what the current relationship between Izumi and Goto Ichiri was, but from what she had seen, Izumi seemed to be very concerned about anything related to Goto Ichiri, and the relationship between the two seemed very close.

"Well, I'm her friend, so it's only natural for me to help her."

Looking at the gentle smile on the face of the boy in front of her, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly felt a little envious. She recalled Yamada Ryo's personality and then looked at Izumi in front of her.

'There is absolutely no comparison!'

But everyone has different personalities, and she doesn't hate Yamada Ryo's personality.

"Hongxia, make some preparations. There will be more guests soon."

Seeing her sister chatting enthusiastically with the boy, Ijichi Xingge saw that her sister's eyes became softer, and she became alert in her heart, and used a reason to move her away from Quan.

"Ah, I see. We'll talk later."

After hearing her sister's instructions, Ijichi Hongxia, who was working part-time in the store to earn her living expenses, hurried to the counter and began to prepare the drink ingredients that would be used when the live show started.

"..."

He was chatting happily with Ichichi Hongxia, but was distracted by Ichichi Seika's words. Izumi looked at Ichichi Seika.

Facing the gaze of a little boy, Yiji Zhixingge naturally would not have any special reaction. There was no expression on her face. She bit the straw of strawberry milk and returned the gaze quietly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Quan suddenly smiled and looked away. However, Yijichi Xingge looked at Quan who suddenly smiled at her, and she felt inexplicably nervous in her heart.

"What's wrong? Are you planning to do something bad?"

……

Without finishing the live show, Quan left 'Starry' alone. The moment he walked onto the street, neon lights flickered in his eyes.

"Is it this time already?"

Looking down at the time on her phone, Quan reached out and gently stroked her hair, then raised her head and glanced at the night sky that enveloped the bustling city.

Come back home?

"I don't feel like going home, is there anyone I can date?"

He suddenly had the idea of ​​going out for a karaoke, but it would be too lonely to go alone. Quan thought about who could be called out to go out at this time.

"Xiaodou is fine, but the others...seem to be out of luck."

He could certainly call out some girls who were on good terms with him, but it was already late, and after the KTV was over, he would have to send them home for safety reasons... As for the option of not going home, he could consider it if he didn't go to school tomorrow.

"By the way, has Xiangzi finished get off work at this time?"

Suddenly I thought of taking a detour to go and see Xiangzi, who has returned home now, and it might be a good opportunity to kill some time with him.

"But, if someone sees me standing at someone's door in the middle of the night, I'm considered a pervert, right?"

Walking on the street, Quan looked around at the surrounding shops, looking for a place where he could entertain himself. It wouldn't take too long, just an hour or two, and then he could go home to take a shower and go to bed.

"..."

But just as Quan was walking towards the station, he unexpectedly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure.

"..."

The other person also noticed Quan. When their eyes met, the other person turned his head away to avoid Quan's gaze. They seemed to be walking in the same direction. When Quan was surprised, the other person silently quickened his pace.

"Did we meet here by chance?"

Quan was also a little surprised when he saw the other person. Looking at the girl who avoided his sight and walked towards the front, Quan pursed his lips slightly, chuckled, took a step, and was about to follow the other person, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a pedestrian suddenly appearing at the corner in front of the other person. The other person quickened his pace, obviously not noticing.

"Wait--"

When Quan was about to open his mouth to warn the other person, the other person had already bumped into a woman coming out of the intersection, but fortunately the passerby who was hit only shook her body and was not affected.

"I am so sorry!"

"…Be more careful next time."

The woman wanted to make some accusations, but suddenly saw someone standing behind the girl. She opened her mouth, glanced at the girl coldly, and turned away.

Toyokawa Shoko bit her lips, listened to the footsteps going away, slowly raised her head, then turned sideways and looked behind her.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"…What's the matter?"

Looking at Quan's familiar face, Toyokawa Shoko did not show any particularly obvious emotions, but just looked at him indifferently.

“Am I disliked?”

Facing Toyokawa Shoko who ran away when she saw him, Izumi asked her in her usual gentle tone with a faint smile on her face.

There was a slight ripple in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, but her expression remained unchanged.

"No."

"Great! If you hated me, I would have a hard time sleeping tonight."

"..."

Looking at Izumi in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko pursed her lips slightly and her hands unconsciously clenched her shoulder straps.

"Anything else? If not, I have to catch the train back."

"Come along, I'm just about ready to go back too."

213. The only thing that greets Nagasaki's arrival is rejection

The tram is running.

Izumi, sitting on a chair, kept some distance from Toyokawa Shoko. The two sat on the same chair, but not too close.

According to the information obtained from Nagasaki Shoyo, Toyokawa Shoko now seems to have some opinions about him. In this situation, if he sits next to her, it will easily cause her disgust, so he chose a safe way.

"Shuangshi, she still hasn't given up."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko sitting on the tram without saying a word, after being silent for a while, Quan took the initiative to chat with her.

But even after hearing what Izumi said, Toyokawa Shoko had no intention of responding. She still sat quietly with a graceful posture and did not make any response.

"She wants to form a band with 'value'. No, to be more precise, she wants to make your original band 'valuable' and then invite you back to your original band."

Toyokawa Shoko, who was like a sculpture, suddenly reacted. She couldn't help but glance towards Quan, but she restrained herself from looking at Quan completely. After a moment, she looked back in the original direction.

"Some time ago, I met the original guitarist at their first live performance. Are her parents famous?"

Toyokawa Shoko received a message from Wakaba Mutsu who went to watch the live performance and knew about it, but she didn't expect that Quan actually saw Wakaba Mutsu at the scene. She couldn't help but frowned slightly, but still did not make any response.

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko didn't respond at all, Quan didn't say anything else.
