I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

She smiled coquettishly and patted Ito Rin's shoulder, "Little boy, you are so good at talking."

"It's all true."

"In that case, don't be so formal." Mrs. Yamada's tone was full of temptation: "Why call her senior? Just follow my example and call her Xiaoliang."

"If one day I feel that life has no hope, I will probably use this name to end my life."

It seemed like he didn't say anything, but his meaning was conveyed, and he made his wife laugh.

After sending him out, his happy wife continued to prepare lunch.

then……

"Xiao Liang? Xiao Liang?"

When he patted her shoulder, Yamada Ryo moved.

"Huh, time to get up and eat."

"What time is it?" Yamada Ryo rubbed his eyes, his eyes filled with confusion as if he had just woken up.

"It should be around two o'clock. You slept through lunch break."

Yamada Ryo suddenly woke up, touched his cheek, and saw that there was no one sitting next to him.

The sunlight from outside the window shines into the house, and the musical instruments become golden.

She rubbed her forehead and asked, "Where is that guy?"

"Ito left two hours ago. Oh, and he told me to tell you that he's finished writing it." Mrs. Yamada reliably relayed the news, then revealed a curious expression: "Is it a love letter?"

"Did he tell you nonsense?" Yamada Ryo stood up and jumped twice, and she regained her spirits.

"He didn't say anything. I asked him to stay for dinner, but he refused."

Yamada Ryo ignored his curious mother and, with distrust of Ito Rin, turned to the part he was responsible for.

The neat handwriting was densely packed, not only the ending part which he was responsible for, but also the process was written down.

Yamada Ryo compared his writing with what he had written, and a sense of powerlessness arose in his heart.

I feel like even if I gave up my musical instruments and devoted myself to writing, I still wouldn't be able to surpass that level.

What's even more precious is that the vulgar plot she was worried about didn't appear at all, and the film gave people a youthful feeling with a hint of melancholy.

"Let me see." Mrs. Yamada was very curious about what went on in the morning and asked her daughter to bring the script over.

Yamada Ryo did not hide it, supporting his cheek with one hand and looking out the window.

"Great." "Amazing." "Is this heroine you?"

"No, I'm the vicious second female lead," she said.

"This isn't malicious. It really does look like what my mom was like when she was in school. Is this something Ito-kun wrote? What are you guys planning to do?"

"filming."

"Wow!" Mrs. Yamada's eyes lit up.

"...Don't get excited. To be more precise, it's a music video. We plan to use it to promote the band. Even if it's a mess, Ito Rin's looks will definitely keep a lot of people watching it."

"How could it be such a mess?" Mrs. Yamada asked in confusion.

Yamada Ryo looked at her with a bitter smile on his face. "How can we, as students, afford to rent filming equipment? Ito Rin plans to borrow a DSLR camera, and even the transportation fee has to be chipped in."

"..."

Mrs. Yamada came to her senses and felt that something was wrong.

It's not like he's asking her for money under the pretext of making a movie.

"Dear mother, for the sake of our band, please give us a little support. Not too much, just a little bit will be enough." Yamada Ryo revealed his true face.

Humph, she is the best at turning bad things into good things.

"Why do I feel like you are here to cheat me out of money?" The wife was very suspicious.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Making a movie is a real thing. The script is already written. We just lack a little bit of start-up capital. If you don't give it to us, we will really go and shoot it with our phones."

Wasn’t it just a SLR camera?

Volume 2: Chapter 17 Hongxia, So Gentle

The day of the cultural festival finally arrived. When Ito Rin arrived at school, she found that she was actually quite late.

"Ito, keep going!" Nagasaki Hiro, who knew he was going to play a goblin today, encouraged him, "Whether our class can get first place depends on your attractiveness."

Ando Takao was holding the cultural festival guide, wondering where to go first. "Maid cafes and fortune-telling houses, which one has a higher priority?"

"Of course it's a maid cafe." Ito Rin answered weakly, lying on the table and not wanting to move.

It’s not that he was tired last night. In fact, he went to bed early and no one came to disturb him. He just felt tired from the bottom of his heart when he thought about what he had to do today.

Why make the cultural festival so extravagant for no reason?

"What did you do last night, you guy?" Nagasaki Hiro looked at him suspiciously.

"Believe me, if you knew my plans for today, it would definitely be the same." Ito Rin spoke in a bitter and resentful tone.

"Isn't it just about pretending to be a ghost? Then all we have to do is find the right opportunity to jump out and scare people." Ando Takao moved a chair to his side and asked quietly, "Is it about the senior sister?"

"Nothing, just let me be quiet for now."

"It seems that's it."

"I've already said it's not like that. It has something to do with things in other schools. Anyway, I hate cultural festivals!" Ito Rin turned her face away, not wanting to see other people.

Ando Takao slowly stood up and exchanged glances with Nagasaki Hiroshi. The two of them had similar thoughts at the same time.

'It turns out the target isn't just our school.'

"As expected of a top-notch scumbag!"

Ito Rin, who was labeled as a scumbag again, no longer cared at all.

Until the opening ceremony of the cultural festival, the reluctant Ito Rin was forced to follow to the gymnasium and listen to the white-haired old principal talking about educational philosophy on the podium.

wrong.

Even this cultural festival was forced under pressure to change the flea market into the current chaotic scene. Principal, is your educational philosophy reliable?

Ito Rin was deeply skeptical about this, but because of the generous scholarships offered by Shimokitazawa High School, this little problem did not affect his loyalty to the school at all.

The conversation was long and boring, and Ito Rin, who was bored, sat on a high place and looked around.

At the same time, for almost the same reason, his eyes met Yamada Ryo's.

Although her name has the word "cold" in it, if we really comment on the relationship between Ito Rin and her as a friend, she can't be called cold.

He simply dislikes trouble, which is why he acts like he keeps people at a distance. The real Yamada Ryo cannot be described as simply despicable or greedy. A weirdo is indeed a suitable description.

Sometimes he behaves very badly, and sometimes he warms people's hearts. I can only say that Yamada Ryo perfectly fits the criterion that one cannot simply judge a person.

Ito Rin sat on a high place, looking at the second-year student Yamada Ryo, and passed the time with random thoughts in her mind.

It was not until the thunderous applause of liberation rang out and the principal on the stage bowed that he realized the opening ceremony was over.

The squad leader was shouting at him to leave quickly, so Ito Rin got up and followed her, meeting Hong Xia and Yamada Ryo on the way.

The two idle people were reading the "Cultural Festival Activity Guide" in their hands, acting like tourists.

They were not wearing school uniforms, just their usual looks, but Yamada Ryo wore a hat and had her short hair curled up.

"Yes, we must look at the activities of your class, Ito." said Ichi Hongxia.

Yamada Ryo nodded in agreement and said, "The experience of going to the haunted house last time was pretty good. I hope this one will be good too."

"How is that possible!" Ito Rin, who was being held in place by them, couldn't help but retort, "They are not even on the same level."

"It's okay, as long as you can scare me." Hong Xia comforted him.

"..."

Hongxia, so gentle.

It would be a shame if a girl like this didn't become a mother.

"By the way, Pochi-chan, Kita-chan and the others will be here. Our band's event is tomorrow, so we rushed over."

"I'm no longer afraid of anything." Ito Rin was very calm about this: "Anyway, there will definitely be a lot of people coming, so I'll just treat you all like cabbages."

"Chinese cabbage?" Yidi Chi Hongxia blinked and asked curiously.

"Yes, this is a method I used to overcome nervousness in the past. No matter whether I am giving a speech or performing, as long as I treat the audience below as Dabaicha, the nervousness will be much lessened." After saying this, the squad leader, who was almost out of sight, waved at him.

As he was about to say goodbye, he remembered something: "Oh, the official opening won't be until noon, so we need to make some preparations."

Yamada Ryo folded his arms and said nothing. Hong Xia gave him a friendly smile and said, "You want to put on makeup, right?"

"I have both. I'm leaving now."

The venue chosen was a spacious classroom, and he, the protagonist, had no chance to decorate the scene.

On the way to the activity room, Ito Rin saw his classmates distributing flyers. After discovering Ito Rin, they insisted on giving him one.

The most handsome male ghost in history~

Which bastard came up with this question!

After traveling thousands of miles and going through many hardships and dangers, we finally arrived at the activity classroom.

The final stage of the set was being set up in the next room, so he had no time to spare.

"Ito-kun, hurry up and put on your makeup!"

……

In front of the school gate, Yamada Ryo was playing with her mobile phone boredly. After confirming twice that the address was correct, she found a tree thoughtfully, and then pulled out Pochi-chan who didn't want to show up from behind.

"Ah, I found it here too!" Hongxia ran over holding Xiao Xiduo's hand.

Kita Ikuyo laughed happily: "I was discovered on purpose."

"Don't try to quibble. You clearly wanted to sneak into the school with the others."

"Alas, that was just a disguise."

"That's enough, you two. Go in." Yamada Ryo put his hands in his pockets and showed a cool expression: "We'll go to the haunted house later, don't cry, you two."

Hongxia hugged Xiao Xiduo's arm and grabbed Pochi-chan to the other side. "It's definitely not as scary as last time. And it's Ito, he's so..."

"That's your misconception." Yamada Ryo walked in front. "Sometimes, the kinder people are, the scarier they are when they startle others."

"Like me?"

"Of course not, Hongxia is the gentlest."

Very good, Hongxia won the competition again today.

Since it was their first time visiting the seniors' school, their goal was certainly not just to visit the haunted house, and it would take some time for them to prepare.

The first place to be considered is naturally the most famous maid cafe. I heard that it was an idea that came from the third-year seniors. Out of trust in them, they were the only ones who were approved among many classes with the same application.

Of course, the passenger flow here is the largest.

They received a lot of flyers at the door, and their arms were already stuffed with papers when they arrived here.

Looking at the seemingly endless long queue and the high prices, even Yamada Ryo looked troubled.

She has no interest in maids. If she really wants to see one, she can just persuade Hongxia to put it on. Is it necessary to waste time and money and queue up in such a long line to see Senior Tongxiao in a maid outfit?

"Let's go to another place." Hong Xia spoke for her.

The others had no objections. As they followed the crowd toward the playground, they casually picked up a flyer from Ito Rin's class.

"The most handsome male ghost, officially starting at 11 o'clock, are you interested in learning more?"

Nagasaki Hiroshi, who was in charge of distributing flyers, lit up his eyes when he saw Yamada Ryo and the others. He insisted on distributing flyers to them regardless of anything else.

Originally thought he was overly enthusiastic, but after seeing the name above, Hong Xia suddenly realized.

This guy must be Ito Rin's friend, otherwise he wouldn't trick him like this.

It's still early, no matter how much you are looking forward to it, you can't rush it.

According to the activity guide, at this time, the dance club will perform around the school. Such activities are very suitable for team building for the girl band.
