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

As the sound gradually faded from the room, Ito Rin put down the bass, and the others realized that the performance was over.

"I've already said it, I'm a genius," said Ito Rin.

"...You." Even though she was prepared, Nagasaki Motoyo had just barely woken up from the world she was in.

Ito Rin turned her gaze to Shiina Riki, and she couldn't bear to continue to attack her. After all, she should be much quieter after this time.

"Does anyone else have any objections? I have some knowledge of keyboards, but I'm not interested in other instruments, especially drums."

Ito Rin put her hands behind her back, apologized to Hongxia in her heart, and glanced at the faces of others arrogantly.

"If Soyo hadn't come to me for help, do you think I would have come to guide you?"

"That's enough." Nagasaki Suyo pulled him back.

"...Huh?!" Ito Rin glared at her.

Please, this is for your own good. If he doesn't teach these people a lesson in advance, who knows what kind of trouble will arise in the subsequent training.

"No one has ever thought about giving up. That's enough."

He never thought of giving up, so who was talking just now?

But the real protagonist didn't want him to continue. He had no interest in attracting hatred, so he smiled and took a step back.

Now it's your turn.

Nagasaki Suyo looked at them, then looked at Ito Rin, "I won't say anything passionate, I just want to win. I think everyone thinks the same."

No one objected, not even Chihaya Aine, who was the slowest, and Kaname Rakuna, who was the most eccentric.

"That's why I forced him out. What happened just now was just this idiot trying to provoke me. Lixi, don't take it to heart."

Ito Rin raised her hands in dissatisfaction.

His mockery of Shiina Riki was definitely not just a provocation. This woman was the most hateful, but there was some sincerity in his mockery.

Shiina Riki turned his face away.

Her hands clasped together uneasily, and her heart felt inexplicably calm.

Chihaya Aine didn't know whether to be happy or complaining. Ito Rin, who seemed to have never touched a musical instrument, was so good at it, which made her a little doubtful about her own talent.

I originally thought she was amazing for learning guitar so quickly.

"Ito-san." She approached Ito Rin and asked quietly, "How long have you been practicing bass?"

"Half a month."

"...You must be kidding." Chihaya Aine widened her eyes.

"If I lie to you, I'll be a puppy." Ito Rin remained calm.

Well, he did lie.

After all, it was a system skill. In fact, he hadn't practiced it for even half a month. Strictly speaking, it was only half an hour at most.

In order to avoid hurting Chihaya Aine's strong heart, Ito Rin told a white lie.

Just say he is the gentlest.

"Don't bully her. If everyone has no objection, Ito Rin will officially become our consultant." Nagasaki Suyo asked.

“Will you give me a salary?”

"I'll send it to you. Remember to come to me in the evening and ask for it. Even though he's not good at other instruments, he has no problem guiding us."

Nagasaki Suyo glanced at Ito Rin, whose face was filled with joy, and was pleased to have found a suitable job for him.

"In that case, I won't be polite."

"Lead singer, why don't you look up? Maybe your money fell on the ground."

"Two guitars, one can't keep tune, the other doesn't even look at anyone else. You two are a perfect match."

"Drum set, you claim to have arrogant strength, but you are off-tune quite a few times."

"Finally, the bass..."

　Ito Rin, who didn't care about their anger at all, was still in trouble when facing Bess.

He was a pure love immortal, did he really have to criticize his girlfriend?

"Were you distracted during the third period? Because of your distraction, the drums behind you couldn't keep up with the music."

Veins popped out of Shiina Riki's forehead. "Then this is her problem. Why are you scolding me?"

Ito Rin lay weakly on the chair, "What? Are you not in the same band? If she has a problem, you have to have problems too. Do you practice regularly? And when you encounter a problem, you yell at the coach first?"

"I'm sorry." Gao Songdeng apologized softly.

"I accept your apology." Ito Rin sat up straight. "Let's play the duet again."

This time, when Ito Rin heard the question, she shouted at them to stop and pointed out the mistake.

The song, which was originally less than three minutes long, was completed in less than ten minutes thanks to his unremitting efforts.

"Actually, I want to be gentler too."

"But these are such basic mistakes! It's hard not to be angry."

"Damn it! If this is tutoring, I'll make you copy the music a hundred times."

"Did you stay up late watching videos again last night and forget about practicing guitar?"

"Ito!" Nagasaki Suyo looked over.

"Sorry, Soyo. I was too excited. You've passed this ensemble. Keep going."

Volume 2: Chapter 46 You are really talented

"Damn it, damn it, damn it! He's targeting me on purpose!"

At the end of the training in the afternoon, Chihaya Aion was carrying her guitar and complaining to Takamatsu Deng with her fists clenched.

Because she was the weakest member of the band, Ito Rin's words instantly wiped out the good impression that Chihaya Aine had left.

"He's right." Shiina Riki, who had quarreled with him before, raised the long hair on his shoulders and changed his attitude.

"Of course you're fine, he didn't even criticize you!"

"Hey, isn't it because I'm better? You said you would practice more at home, but you're still at this level." Shiina Riki put her hands on her hips and didn't indulge her at all.

“It’s amazing for a beginner to achieve this level!”

"Once you're on stage, no one will be more tolerant of you just because you're a beginner. You should have seen this before."

"hateful……"

Gao Songdeng stretched out his hand, waving it nervously in the air, not knowing who to hold on to.

What a fierce argument.

……

In the training room, after putting the bass into the instrument case and carrying it on her back, Nagasaki Suyo walked in front of Ito Rin.

"How is the performance?"

"You're too enthusiastic." Nagasaki Suyo took Ito Rin's arm.

"It's not that I'm enthusiastic, it's just that the gap between you two is so huge."

"You've emphasized this countless times today."

After closing the door of the training room, the two said goodbye to the receptionist and walked on the evening street.

The evening breeze was blowing gently, and occasionally a band would play on the bustling streets, but the sound would be drowned out by the loud car horns.

"I'm sorry to bother you this time." Nagasaki Suyo's voice drifted to Ito Rin's ears along with the sound of the wind.

"Does our relationship really need to be like this?"

"You're not happy, I kind of forced you to help."

"Yeah." Ito Rin didn't deny it. "Not only is it troublesome, but if it's not completed, it will easily make people hate you."

"That's not the case. Even Aine isn't so stingy." Nagasaki Motoyo tied up her long hair that was messed up by the wind and said with a smile.

"Shouldn't it be Shiina-san?"

"Her? She doesn't mind at all. As long as you perform well, she will listen to you carefully. Besides, she is the type who doesn't hold grudges." Nagasaki Suyo showed a beautiful smile at the corner of her mouth.

"It seems you are familiar with them!"

Nagasaki Suyo paused, looking at the station not far away. "If you were more familiar with them, it would be wrong."

"Maybe." Ito Rin said deliberately, "A smart person like me can tell a lot about a person just by observing them. This is the highest skill of observing people's words and expressions."

"What about Lenai?"

"Sorry, the stray cat on the roadside was out of my observation range. I was worried that she would do something unpredictable and ruin all my efforts."

Nagasaki Suyo sighed in sympathy, "Sometimes I really want her to quit."

“…” Ito Rin was silent.

"Don't worry, since we're a band, there's no way we'd kick anyone out for no reason." Nagasaki Motoyo turned her head and looked at Ito Rin with a smile, "You don't have to worry about me asking you to join."

The tram sped past, and a loud whistle sounded in the air.

"I'm not worried."

"We just need a keyboard player," she said to herself.

As they arrived at the station, Ito Rin pushed her in without any intention of answering.

If you are looking for a keyboard player, you should go find Toyokawa Shoko. I, Uncle Ito, won’t join in this fun.

"Aren't you coming up?" She stood by the tram.

"There are other things to do."

"Hey, there's actually a little secret."

"If that counts, then I have at least twenty hours of secrets every day." Ito Rin met her gaze and smiled, "Go home early."

"Alas, it seems that I am being disliked."

"Will Auntie be home tonight? If not, I will definitely go back with you."

This obvious attitude made Nagasaki Suyo's hand reach for his waist.

"It hurts, it hurts, you're going to kill someone!"

"I haven't done anything yet."

"Is phantom pain not okay?"

Nagasaki Suyo looked at the sky speechlessly.

"One more thing. Since we need your help, at least you should have some musical instruments."

"……this."

"I'll pay for it, and you can choose an instrument."

"Eh." Ito Rin scratched his hair, "Is this considered a benefit for the pretty boy?"

"What do you think?"

Ito Rin shook his head decisively, "If you want to get guidance from this master, a mere instrument is already considered the internal price."

Nagasaki Suyo laughed. "By the way, how can you play the bass so well if you don't even have an instrument? Could it be that you really are a genius?"

"There's no need to emphasize in private that I'm a genius." Ito Rin's face was full of relief.

"shameless."

"Besides the fact that I'm a genius, could there be any other reason?"

"Well, as your girlfriend, it's a little difficult for me to be sure."

"Hurry up and get in the car. I'm going to pick out the most expensive musical instrument."
