Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"Oh, the store

The leader told us to practice well before going on stage."

Yamada Ryo's sudden attack made an expression of surprise and a drop of cold sweat appear on Ijichi Nijika's cute face. Goto Ichiri, who saw Ijichi Nijika with such an expression for the first time, also turned his beautiful sapphire eyes and locked them on Ijichi Nijika.

"Also, after the store manager learned that you had left the venue without permission, he went out to buy something angrily." If the previous words were just appetizers, then Yamada Ryou's last sentence was the battering ram that could directly defeat Ijichi Hongxia.

"No way?!" Hearing that her sister, the store manager, went out to buy things angrily, Ijichi Hongxia nervously clenched her hands into fists and placed them in front of her chest.

The cute little feet in the little red shoes kept rising and falling and stepping lightly on the floor because of anxiety.

"Let's go to the practice room quickly before she comes back!" Feeling the sword of Damocles hanging over her head, the only thought left in Ichichi Hongxia's mind was to quickly take refuge in the practice room.

Yamada Ryo walked silently in front. As a person with high social anxiety, Goto Ichiri was struggling with whether he should keep up or not. In the end, he just stood there straight and motionless.

"Ichiri-san, why are you still standing there? You're the guitarist I miraculously found in the park!"

"Ichiri, come and catch up quickly." While pushing Yamada Ryo forward from behind, Ijichi Hongka turned her head and pointed her cute face with two dreamy blushes at Goto Ichiri who was not far behind her.

Goto Ichiri, who was still immersed in "Thirty-six Shots of Social Phobia", did not make a decision or react immediately after hearing Ijichi Nikka's voice.

"Okay... okay." He squeezed out these few short words from his throat only after using his eyelids to cover the extremely beautiful blue in his eyes.

"Reality is scary, but I have a premonition that there will be a lot of happy things waiting for me in the future!" Two red clouds appeared on Goto Ichiri's face, and then he took a step and followed the footsteps of Ijichi Hongka and Yamada Ryo.

Goto Ichiri turned around and closed the door of the practice room he had just entered. The yellow door not only reminded Goto Ichiri of Ijichi Nijihara's hair, which exuded a unique girlish fragrance, but also Yamada Ryo's golden eyes, which others thought were like a dragon or a tiger.

After closing the door of the practice room, Goto Ichiri turned around, bent down and put down the guitar on his back.

"Here is today's set list and music score." Ijichi Hongxia, who entered the practice room earlier, took out a stack of set list and music score printed on white paper with black ink.

With a smile on her face, Ijichi Kouka handed the track list and music sheet to Goto Ichiri who had just put down his guitar.

"Ah! Um, where are the other band members?" Goto Ichiri quickly stretched out his hands and took the set list and music score from Ijichi Kouka.

"All of us are here~" Ijichi Hongxia smiled and waved her hand, then turned and walked towards the drum set in the practice room.

"We will only play and not sing this time." In front of the drum set, Ijichi Hongka turned and explained to Goto Ichiri who had just received the set list and music score.

"Well, considering the difficulty of this song, it's not a big problem." Goto Ichiri carefully looked over the music score in his hand, and was glad that the song he needed to play this time was not difficult.

"However, if there is no singing, the performance will need to work harder, and the audience will be more critical of the performance without singing." Goto Ichiri moved the music score in his hand closer to his face, and his expression became more solemn.

"I seem to be able to play the guitar quite well. I can do it, I should be able to do it!" Goto Ichiri placed her right hand on her chest, and at this moment she could feel her heart beating rapidly.

With this thought in mind, Goto Ichiri kept raising his right hand and smashing it on his chest, hoping that this would be able to suppress his frantic heartbeat, and at the same time, to cheer himself up.

"Bang, bang, bang~" and "Hum, hum, hum~" Two different sounds rang out in the originally quiet practice room, and Goto Ichiri beat his chest faster and faster.

"Rise of the Planet of the Apes?" Standing aside, Ryo Yamada, who had already prepared his musical instruments and all the necessary prerequisites for performance, gave this comment on the abnormal behavior of Goto Ichiri and his gang.

Ichiri Goto plugged the cord into the speaker and then removed the red pick that was stuck in it from the guitar.

"If they heard my guitar playing, they might be surprised." Goto Ichiri thought happily.

"After all, 'Guitar Hero' is still quite popular on the Internet." Goto Ichiri has played no less than a dozen scenes of the "Guitar Hero" where the identity of the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King was revealed.

"Without further ado, let's try again from the beginning."

"No, it should be considered quite popular, right? After all, the number of fans is almost 100,000." However, Goto Ichiri then overturned his previous idea.

"After all, this is our first time working together, so you can start slowly."

"Okay! I must play well and surprise everyone present." Goto Ichiri's eyes were full of the word seriousness.

"Speed ​​up later and adapt slowly."

"Then let's begin~" At this point, Ijichi Hongxia had completed all the pre-war mobilization declarations, followed by the sound of drumsticks as the starting signal.

"Thump~" As the last note fell, Goto Ichiri's first performance since joining the band also came to an end.

However, the cruel reality was that Goto Ichiri's performance was so bad that it sounded like some large-scale restricted performance. Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nijika both silently watched Goto Ichiri playing a mess.

After coming to a conclusion, Ijichi Kouka nodded while looking at Yamada Ryo, confirming each other's thoughts.

That is, Goto Ichiri's first band ensemble practice was terrible!

"It's terrible!" Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but blurt out his thoughts.

Yamada Ryo covered his mouth and laughed secretly with a gloating attitude.

"Oh..." Goto Ichiri was extremely disappointed as he did not expect to receive such evaluation for his first band concert.

"I'm a guitar hero!" Goto Ichiri was full of confusion.

"Just joking...it's not really a joke." Ijichi Hongxia was trying to make up for what she had just said.

"The number of fans is about to exceed 100,000!" This heavy blow caused the lines on Goto Ichiri's body to become distorted to a certain extent.

"Um! Sorry!" Ijichi Hongxia apologized for the words she blurted out just now.

"Let me explain it all! Goto Ichiri's easy-to-understand lecture begins!"

"Huh?" Goto Ichiri turned around in surprise and looked at the blackboard that appeared with the narration.

"In a band, it's very important to cooperate with real people, but as a socially anxious person, Ichiri-chan can't even look other people in the eye while playing. As a result, when she plays the guitar, she only cares about herself~"

"Even if Ichiri's solo performance is at a professional level, as soon as she participates in a band's performance, she will become the weakest existence, not even as good as a water flea~" The mysterious narration reveals the reasons why Goto Ichiri's performance failed.

"Hello everyone, I am Plankton Gotodesu."

His superb guitar skills conquered Ijichi Koka and Yamada Ryo, and he also played the guitar at the level of a human R-rated performance. At this time, he was lying on the ground in the classic Yamcha style.

"How come he becomes like a comedian who can never become popular!" Ijichi Hongxia quickly stood up from the drum set and complained.

"Goto Ichiri turned into insignificant dust and never touched a guitar again..." Goto Ichiri, feeling disheartened, crawled into the combustible trash can beside him.

"Hey! Come out quickly, you're about to go on stage to perform!" Ijichi Hongxia put her hands on the combustible trash can and lowered her head to persuade Goto Ichiri who was curled up in the combustible trash can.

"I, I, I... I still can't play it." There was a hint of tears in Goto Ichiri's voice.

"It's not your fault. After all, we're just a band put together at the last minute."

"My skills are not that good either." Ijichi Hongka comforted Goto Ichiri who was autistic in the combustible trash can.

"My skills are very good!" Yamada Ryo said proudly with his hands on his hips.

"Hehehe..." The entire combustible trash can was shaking along with Goto Ichiri.

"Always turn around and raise your head, don't run away from reality." Ijichi Hongxia persuaded without giving up.

"Even for warm-up, I'm of no use at all." Goto Ichiri curled up in a small combustible trash can, where she found a bit of the feeling of being in her closet at home.

"Don't worry, if anyone dares to boo us, I will hit them with a bass bang." Yamada Ryo waved his right fist.

"Be... Can the bass make such a strange sound?" asked Ichiri Goto in confusion.

Volume 1: Chapter 75: I will attack as a ripe mango

Although Goto Ichiri was very grateful to Yamada Ryo for comforting him in this way, Goto Ichiri, who had been emoted by his own restricted performance, had no intention of coming out of the combustible trash can.

"As long as it's rock 'n' roll, there's no problem!" Yamada Ryo put one hand on his waist, his expression showing no sign of change.

"Rock is such a panacea!" Faced with such a situation, even a socially anxious person like Ichiri Goto could feel his soul of complaining burning.

"Besides, those who will come to watch our band's performance will probably be my friends." Ijichi Hongxia clenched her fists and walked to the combustible trash can to encourage Goto Ichiri.

"Hey?"

However, what Ijichi Nikka didn't know was that having friends come to watch her performance was like climbing to the sky for a socially anxious person like Goto Ichiri.

"Hong Xia is my only friend~" Yamada Ryo put her fingers in a V shape on her chin, and it was obvious that she was extremely proud of this.

"How can an ordinary high school girl tell whether a performance is good or bad?" Ijichi Hongxia said with a relaxed attitude. She tried to use this attitude to ease the tension and uneasiness in Goto Ichiri's heart at the moment.

"If this statement gets out, there's a 100% or even 90% chance that I'll be criticized." Goto Ichiri felt himself sweating profusely after hearing Ijichi Hongka's dangerous remarks.

"Don't think too much about it for now, just relax now, okay?" Ijichi Hongxia still comforted Goto Ichiri softly.

"Even if you say so..." Goto Ichiri was having a fierce struggle between his conscience and his desires.

"I can tell whether the band's performance is good or bad~" Yamada Ryo's smug tone made Goto Ichiri's head, which had just popped out of the trash can, retract immediately.

"Ryo, you're not an ordinary high school girl." Ijichi Hongka immediately retorted.

"Hey, hehehe." After hearing Ijichi Hongka say that she was not an ordinary female high school student, Yamada Ryo laughed happily.

"No, what are you happy about? Don't be so happy!" Ijichi Hongxia's complaints seemed to increase the attack speed.

As Goto Ichiri heard the conversation between Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo in the combustible trash can, the part of his heart occupied by emo became increasingly larger.

"I'm sorry..." Goto Ichiri curled up further into the combustible trash can.

"But..." Ijichi Hongxia wanted to say something else.

"Don't force others." Yamada Ryo was very open-minded about this matter.

"That's right." After hearing what her best friend Yamada Ryo said, Ijichi Hongxia realized that she had been forcing Goto Ichiri to do something she didn't like.

"I'm sorry, Ichiri-chan, I made things difficult for you just now." After letting it go, Ijichi Hongxia's tone became much more relaxed.

At this point, Ijichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo looked at him with a gentle smile.

"Ah! No, that's not the case." Goto Ichiri quickly denied it.

"Nijiga-chan, you...I'm really happy that you can come to see me." Goto Ichiri's voice was small, but it was the most determined words he said after hiding in the combustible trash can.

Ijichi Hongka and Yamada Ryoya both listened carefully to Goto Ichiri's words.

"I've wanted to form a band for a long time, but... but I can't find bandmates, so I always cover other people's songs and upload them online..." Goto Ichiri used this breath to pour out all the thoughts in his mind.

"What songs do you usually play?" asked Yamada Ryo.

"Ah, in order to be able to play together immediately after successfully forming a band, we basically know the songs of the popular bands in recent years... Lately, I've been playing more songs by Poppin'Party, Roselia, RAISE A SUILEN, and Morfonica." Goto Ichiri's tone only has a confidence when he talks about guitar covers, which is not the case when he speaks normally.

"How amazing!" Ijichi Hongxia exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.

"No, it's not possible at all... In the end, I played it in a mess. Someone like me really can't form a band with others." Goto Ichiri's voice became lower and lower, and his body shrank further and further into the combustible trash can.

"They are all covers of popular songs. Lately, I've been playing songs by Poppin'Party, Roselia, RAISE A SUILEN, and Morfonica. It's just like playing Guitar Hero. Did you know that?" Ijichi Hongka turned to look at Yamada Ryo beside her and asked her.

"He's probably about the same age as us." Ijichi Hongxia didn't make any connection between Goto Ichiri, who was currently curled up in the combustible trash can, and her favorite cover host.

"Guitar Hero? Are you talking about me?!" Goto Ichiri, who was huddled in a combustible trash can, shuddered when he heard the conversation about himself.

"If you don't know, I'll send you the URL later. That person plays really well, I strongly recommend that you go and listen to it, Ryo." Ijichi Hongxia was frantically recommending her favorite cover host Guitar Hero to Yamada Ryo.

"Hehehe, that's awesome~" Goto Ichiri, who was curled up in the combustible trash can, changed his aura from emo to sunny after hearing the praise from Ijichi Koka.

“That person is often recommended on the homepage, and I also have

I've seen it, and it's played very well." Yamada Ryo said he had also seen Guitar Hero cover videos.

"Is that so? It's just that the name Guitar Hero is a bit awkward." Ijichi Hongxia was very happy to hear that Yamada Ryo had also watched the Guitar Hero cover video.

"Is the name Guitar Hero embarrassing?" If Goto Ichiri was in a joyful mood just now, now is undoubtedly the darkest moment when he has fallen to the bottom.

"I'm following Guitar Hero and have turned on the update notifications. I really hope we can play together one day~" After mentioning Guitar Hero, Ijichi Hongka's tone became much cheerful.

"Let's play together now." Goto Ichiri whispered his opinion.

"Actually, what I mean is that even high-level musicians who attract attention must have practiced guitar alone for a long time without us knowing." Ijichi Hongxia said with a smile, putting her fingers together.

"Huh?" This was the first time Goto Ichiri heard someone acknowledge the efforts he had made silently behind the scenes.

"Why don't you go and take a look later~ When you watch the video and hear the other person's superb guitar skills, you can't help but think about how much effort and sweat Guitar Hero put in behind the scenes." What Ijichi Hongxia wanted at this time was to recommend her favorite cover host Guitar Hero to Goto Ichiri.

After hearing what Ijichi Hongka said, Goto Ichiri, who was curled up in the combustible trash can, recalled his own blood and tears history of guitar training in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer.

"I originally thought that no one would be interested in me in the real world." At this moment, Goto Ichiri found his anchor in the real world, and a blush appeared on his face.

"Even if we didn't play well today, there's no need to give up on forming a band. Maybe we're just too impatient." The more Yidi Zhihong Xia spoke, the less confident he seemed.

"That?" Yamada Ryo expressed confusion at what Ijichi Kouka said.

"Ichiri-chan?" Ijichi Hongka looked at Goto Ichiri, who was curled up in the combustible trash can, with concern.

"But there are still such kind people who have been paying attention to me and even come to talk to someone like me." Goto Ichiri thought silently in his heart.

When Goto Ichiri thought of this, the energy in Ijichi Kouka's words finally overcame the emo part of Goto Ichiri, and he stood up from the combustible trash can in an instant.

"Stand up." Yamada Ryo said with still no expression.
