When I’m in a music show, I just want to make music seriously!

Soon, some students passed by the two of them, and several of them called each other's names as they walked past them.

Goto Ichiri then remembered that she and Sakagami Taku still called each other by their last names, and even added the polite term of "classmate".

As for friends, shouldn’t we be closer?

And in less than a month, my junior high school career will be over!

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri was really a little panicked.

I did make a friend named Sakagami in junior high school, but what about high school?

If I'm not in the same high school as Sakagami anymore, won't I be stuck in the dilemma of 'how to make friends' again?

And she plans to officially join the band in high school and realize her dream!

A question came from the side: "What is Goto-san thinking about?"

Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri lowered his head, touching his fingertips together repeatedly, and whispered, "Well, that is, since Sakagami and I are friends, then the name should be..."

As friends, calling each other by name and addressing each other as classmates is a bit distant.

She waited nervously for Taku Sakagami's reaction. Would he be treated as a weirdo?

Soon, Sakagami Taku replied:

"Oh, you're talking about that. You can just call me Taku. Most people call me that. But on the other hand, I can also call you Ichiri-kun. How about that?"

At this point, Sakagami Taku touched his chin and said, "No, Ichiri and Pochi are pronounced similarly, and Goto-kun always likes someone. Pochi, Xiao Gu Du, Ichiri, I feel like the pronunciations are similar, and they all fit your temperament."

This is quite a coincidence, but no matter how you look at it, the nickname of Loneliness is a bit too ironic for Goto Ichiri.

Forget it, let’s not call her that.

Just when Sakagami Taku was about to give up his joke, he noticed that Goto Ichiri actually showed a happy expression because of the nickname with a similar pronunciation.

Sakagami Taku: ...

Aren't there any normal people among you girls in bands?

He was just joking!

Sakagami Taku's expression was speechless: "Then I'll just call you Pochi-kun."

Goto Ichiri was happy with this nickname.

And Sakagami Taku thought of something more important: "Speaking of which, Pochi-san, where are you planning to go to in high school?"

Goto Ichiri was suddenly pulled back to reality from his dream.

Sakagami-san, no, is Taku-san a God?

He actually asked the two questions she wanted to ask the most.

Goto Ichiri looked at Sakagami Taku with some respect.

This is the first time in her life that she has met someone who understands her so well. She will definitely cherish this relationship!

Goto Ichiri replied, "Probably Xiuhua High School."

"Why are you going there?"

Taku Sakagami actually plans to go to Xiuhua High School, mainly because the tuition there is relatively cheap. Taku Sakagami has good academic performance, so he doesn't have to worry about the college entrance examination.

But he felt strange that Goto Ichiri also wanted to go there.

When asked this, Goto Ichiri stiffened:

"Well, it might be more convenient."

How can I say that I don't want to run into someone I know at school?

When she reaches high school, she plans to transform herself and become a sunny and cheerful band member!

By then, maybe all the experiences in junior high school will become black history!

Ah, of course, she definitely wouldn't mind Sakagami Taku knowing about her junior high school days. After all, he was her first true friend.

This is probably life.

Goto Ichiri was satisfied with his mature thinking.

Sakagami Taku: "What a coincidence! I'm going there too."

Sakagami Taku's words made Goto Ichiri stunned, and then he was filled with joy: "Really?"

She looked at Taku Sakagami with cute eyes like a little squirrel.

Now I don’t have to worry about having no friends.

Sakagami Takuto was a little uncomfortable with her rare gaze: "Yeah. Since the tuition at Xiuhua High School is relatively cheap, I don't plan to go directly to Kitazawa High School."

Great!

This way, I will go to the same high school as Tuo. No matter what, at least I have a friend.

By the way, what is the band that Mr. Tuo invited me to join like?

I’m really looking forward to it. I feel so strong now that I can definitely join a band and perform!

In this way, can't I start my dream early?

Well, after all, she has 30,000 followers on Guitar Hero. Maybe if she just plays a little, Taku's friends will welcome her.

Unfortunately, Sakagami Taku's next question quickly brought Goto Ichiri back to his original form:

"Has Pochi ever performed with others before?"

“…No.”

Sakagami Taku had a rough idea in his mind.

There is a huge difference between playing alone and working with a band.

The rhythm of solo performance is in your own hands, you can do whatever you want, and even improvise some difficult performances.

But cooperation is different. Not only do you have to ensure that there are no problems with your own rhythm, but you also have to cooperate with your teammates.

This is also why when Taku Sakagami was a support musician, if someone in the team played too fast or too slow, he would have to pay an extra price just to help out.

In terms of skills alone, Goto Ichiri is definitely very strong, even Hongxia and Liang can't compare to her, but when it comes to coordination, it's hard to say.

Goto Ichiri obviously noticed Sakagami Taku's thoughtful look: "Is there a big difference?"

"Well, it's a world of difference. Collaboration isn't a one-man show. You have to consider your teammates' tempo. If you play too fast or too slow, it will affect your teammates. Similarly, musicians who can match their teammates' tempo are also very popular."

It turned out to be the case.

Goto Ichiri could understand it. It was like a wooden barrel. It needed a high degree of unity to ensure that the water inside did not flow out.

"We're almost graduating now, and we'll have winter soon. It just so happens that we're in the same high school. When school starts next spring, I'll take you to meet the members of the band I mentioned earlier. How about that?"

Hearing Sakagami Taku's words, Goto Ichiri nodded softly: "Yeah."

She also had no plans to go out during the winter vacation.

On snowy days, you should just stay in bed and enjoy yourself.

It's not because she's not mentally prepared yet.

But if they are friends of Taku, they should be easy to talk to.

The villain in Goto Ichiri's heart began to burn.

This time, we must succeed!

But Goto Ichiri suddenly remembered Sakagami Taku's current band:

"How's Taku-san's band doing now?"

She has been following the band's situation recently, and she found that Taku Sakagami's band had not updated any videos for a long time.

It was obviously very popular before, and the members' skills were also very good. With two original songs, it was almost considered a rising star by many people. However, not only has there been no updates recently, but there has been no interaction with fans either.

When mentioning this, Sakagami Taku's eyes were subtle: "It's a long story, anyway, it's over."

Goto Ichiri seemed to be electrocuted, and an exclamation mark immediately appeared above his head.

Ah!

I hope we didn’t accidentally talk about some terrible topic!

What should I do?

She frantically bent down and apologized: "I'm so sorry, I didn't know about these things!"

Sakagami Taku has become accustomed to this guy apologizing so profusely every time something happens:

"It's okay. There were some complicated situations. Anyway, everyone has their own things to do, and it's over for now."

Goto Ichiri finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s okay not to mention sad things.

But now that Taku-san’s band has ended, he can join other bands, right?

As if he could see through her thoughts, Sakagami Takumichi:

"I'm short of money. If I had money, I could join any band."

Mind reading! Mr. Taku can definitely read minds!

Just when Goto Ichiri was about to ask why he needed money, Sakagami Taku directly explained: "There is a slight problem with the family's funds. We are currently completely empty in this area."

That's terrible, Taku-kun.

Goto Ichiri asked, "How much do you need?"

"A billion."

Too much!

Thinking of the small treasury his mother had saved for his marriage, Goto Ichiri felt that even if he sold her and her body, it would not be worth that much.

Speaking of the band that Taku Sakagami was in before, could it be possible that someone provided so much?

Goto Ichiri recalled his previous fantasy in his mind again, and the scene of the five members of CRYCHIC looking superior appeared in his mind, slapping Sakagami Taku's cheek with money and asking him to play hard.

Could it be that all those things are true?

The band is so terrible, I suddenly don’t want to form one anymore.

And to be honest, up to now, Goto Ichiri found that she actually still didn't understand Sakagami Taku. When talking, they didn't dare to look each other in the eye. As for making friends, it was Sakagami Taku who took the initiative to chat with her, and she just answered passively every time.

Her father and mother had told her before that it was impolite not to look others in the eye when talking or to look elsewhere with a wandering gaze.

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri looked at Sakagami Taku tentatively, wanting to ask him why he needed so much money.

She wanted to know more about her first friend in her life.

Just at this glance, Goto Ichiri discovered that Sakagami Taku was also looking at her.

Their eyes connected in an instant.

This was the first time that Goto Ichiri saw Sakagami Taku's face so closely.

Only now did she realize that Taku Sakagami had very good skin and was very handsome, even more delicate than he looked from a distance.

Meeting her gaze, Sakagami Taku discovered that this socially anxious girl actually dared to look him in the eye and talk to him for the first time. Such an opportunity was rare. Sakagami Taku took the opportunity to encourage Goto Ichiri, hoping that she could have more confidence and let her know that she was actually very capable:

"Compared to my own affairs, I am more optimistic about you, Pochi-san. You have excellent skills, and although you may be a bit introverted, these are not problems. Everyone has their own way of living, and these are not things to be ashamed of."

The afternoon sun was shining, and even though it was autumn, there seemed to be a magical light flickering on Taku Sakagami. After just the first eye contact, Goto Ichiri found that he seemed to have forgotten what he was about to say, and his attention was all on Taku Sakagami's face and what he said.

"The world is vast and colorful. You work very hard. I noticed your guitar skills when we first met. You can't learn it in a day or two. It takes years of practice and constant effort to achieve such skills. I believe that you, Boqi, must have put in a lot of sweat in places we can't see.

Come on, I believe you can go far."

Sincere words seem to tell the truth.

Goto Ichiri's cheeks flushed. For the first time, she did not feel elated by Sakagami Taku's praise. On the contrary, she felt as if her heart was beating faster and faster.

Taku Sakagami actually saw the results of her years of practice.

She always thought that no one knew about these things. Everyone only cared about the result of one thing, and no one would know how much effort she put into it.
