I have bound two systems.

Regarding the Lonely Band's desire to perform in front of the public at the Starry Performance Hall, the store manager Ichichi Xingge gave a very harsh prerequisite: fifty tickets must be sold.

If this is not possible, they will have to pay the amount that is not met out of their own pockets.

Before Wednesday, the other three people mobilized all the connections they could, but only sold fifteen tickets. This was already remarkable, but it was still far from enough to achieve the goal.

Just when they were at a loss, the remaining ones were all sold out by Chisato Suzumiya a day later. It was simply unbelievable.

Yesterday, the three of them asked Chisato Suzumiya together, but he evaded the question by saying that he would tell them today, and now the deadline has expired.

"I'll tell you after the performance. Sister Xingge will be angry if you don't go to work when the time comes."

Suzumiya Chisato secretly glanced at Goto Ichisato who was silently laughing, and walked out of the recording studio without paying any attention to Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Kouka whose cheeks were puffed up like two balloons from inhaling.

"He got the gag back again."

"Isn't it possible that he bought all these tickets with his own money?"

"No way...Suzumiya-kun can't be that rich, Pochi-chan."

The two of them suddenly looked at Goto Ichiri, who had been standing aside without saying a word, which made the latter almost drop the pizza in his hand.

"You know what?"

"No...no, I...I'm not sure."

Goto Ichiri looked away guiltily, and she intentionally changed the subject.

"Well, if you don't eat it, the corn and chicken pizza will get cold soon."

"Ah! It's true!"

"Leave some for us!"

Chisato Suzumiya returned to the back of the bar in the store and moved drinks and alcohol from the warehouse for use. Today is Friday and business will be good, so she has to prepare in advance.

"But Sister Xingge, how did you know that Yili is the famous music blogger Guitar Hero on the Internet?"

While working, he took the time to ask the store manager who was sitting behind the bar and lazily watching short videos on his phone.

"After all, I was in a band before, and Guitar Hero happened to be on my follow list. Then, when I saw her guitar and her playing habits, I was sure she was my favorite without asking."

"I see. That's why you were so distraught at the time... and why you deliberately set the ticket price so high. You anticipated that her tens of thousands of fans would play a role."

"Well, after all, besides being Hongxia's sister, I am also the store manager of Fanxing. If there is a chance to make money, I won't be so stupid as to miss it. This is a win-win situation."

"Ginger is still spicy with age."

Ijichi Hoshika took off her high heels, stretched out her foot from behind the bar where no one could see, and gently kicked Suzumiya Chisato.

She has a natural aversion to the word "old".

"But you have been getting closer and closer to them recently. So, do you want to work in an entertainment agency and become a team leader?"

Suzumiya Chisato had a smile on her face.

"Who knows what will happen in the future? Maybe."

This is obviously a perfunctory statement.

Ijichi Hoshige drank her beer silently. Suzumiya Chisato gave her the feeling that she was not like a high school student, but rather someone of the same age as her. She was very mature in the way she spoke and the way she treated others.

She threw the empty beer can into the trash can, stood up and walked out of the bar.

"I'll leave this place to you for now. I'm going out for a meal. Do you want me to bring you anything when I come back?"

"No, I'm not very hungry."

Ichichi Xingge no longer insisted, nodded, and walked out of the store.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening, and the exhibition hall, which had seemed empty and deserted in the past, was now packed with people.

Suzumiya Chisato used her hands at full speed to finally get through the busiest period. Loneliness Band, a little-known new band, was the first to perform and warm up the audience. The evening band performance was about to begin, and the audience's attention was focused on the stage, with only a few people coming over occasionally to buy drinks.

"Sister Xingge, can I take a break?"

"Why ask for leave? Just go ahead. I'll watch over here."

Ichichi Xingge knew what he wanted to do.

"Thank you."

Chisato Suzumiya walked out of the bar, and using the convenient identity of a staff member, she seemed to go on stage to adjust the microphone, then jumped off the stage and stood naturally at the position closest to the stage, confirming that her mobile phone had sufficient battery and the camera function was functioning normally.

After waiting expectantly for a few minutes, the lights in the entire store dimmed, and then the spotlights shone on the passage behind the stage, and the four members of the Lonely Band slowly walked out.

Chisato Suzumiya raised her phone and pointed the camera at them.

Chapter 185 A Successful Performance

Performing on stage and practicing privately are two completely different things, and the gazes of the audience are the fuse that causes tension.

Of the four girls in the Lonely Band, except for Yamada Ryo who had performance experience, the other three were a little nervous, and Goto Ichiri was the most obvious.

Chisato Suzumiya, who was standing at the front of the audience stands, could even see her hands on the guitar trembling slightly.

Although her socially anxious personality has improved greatly after experiencing that dream, its essence has not changed.

Yes, even Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo, who usually appear to be extremely cheerful and outgoing, looked a little stiff in front of so many spectators, let alone her.

Seeing this, Suzumiya Chisato raised her hand high with her thumb up, attracting the attention of Goto Ichiri.

His lips moved slowly, and Goto Ichiri's eyes slowly lit up. She understood his lip language.

'Come on, I'll always be watching you.'

The love between men and women is truly incredible. It can not only help a person who was originally depressed and confused find a new direction to move forward, but also give a person the fighting spirit to break free when he falls into an emotional low.

Qianli trusts me so much, and I don’t want to let him down.

With such a thought in her head, all her timidity and fear were suppressed, and Goto Ichiri slowly raised her head to face the audience. There was still uneasiness in her eyes, but the hand holding the guitar was no longer shaking.

"Hello everyone - welcome to the stars, we are the Loneliness Band!"

After they looked at each other and confirmed that they were all in place, Kita Ikuyo took the microphone and gave her usual opening remarks.

"Next we will perform a song, Listen from After School Tea Time! This is a great song, I hope everyone will like it!"

The audience was mostly friendly and enthusiastic, and they were not stingy with their applause.

They looked at each other on the stage, and after the applause died down, Ijichi Hongxia tapped the two drumsticks twice as a starting signal. The guitar and bass followed the moment the drums sounded, and a lively prelude sounded.

Kita Ikuyo, the lead singer, caught the beat, took a deep breath, and the singing came out naturally.

"It's deep deep deep in my heart—"

"In such a silent temple——"

"..."

Many audience members nodded slightly to the rhythm of the song.

Chisato Suzumiya watched their performance and gradually felt relieved.

Although everyone was a little nervous at the beginning, once the performance began the nervousness was suppressed and everyone performed very well, not much different from normal rehearsals.

When the first song ended, there was much more enthusiastic applause than during the opening speech.

This undoubtedly means approval and affirmation. The first song was sung very successfully and left a good impression on the audience.

Next is the second song.

Chisato Suzumiya gradually became nervous. Whether his idea was correct or not and whether he could actually put it into practice would depend on the next five minutes.

"Haha...thank you all!"

Kita Ikuyo panted, and after she calmed down while introducing the band members, she began to introduce the second song.

"Next is our band's original song, called Sorry to be So Cute. It's a song we really like. Now we're giving it to everyone, and we hope you like it!"

It has to be said that Kita Ikuyo is born with the power to infect other people's emotions. Her sparkling eyes are extremely eye-catching on the mobile phone screen taken by Chisato Suzumiya.

The prelude of the song, which was much softer than the previous one, sounded. Suzumiya Chisato stared at the people on the stage motionlessly, and her lips slowly pursed.

"I love myself—"

"Is there anything wrong——"

"..."

"Chu! I'm sorry I'm cute-"

"Chu! Sorry I'm a little clever-"

"..."

Kita Ikuyo sang, using all the results of her practice in recent days.

In the middle of the performance, she boldly took off the microphone and held it in her hand and came to the other band members to interact with them in cute poses. Goto Ichiri smiled stiffly, Yamada Ryo took the time to stretch out his left hand to make a V sign, and Ijichi Kouka even sang a few lines on the microphone handed to her.

The good looks of the band members were revealed at this moment, and coupled with the high quality of the songs, the atmosphere quickly heated up.

When the song repeated its climax for the second time, some of the audience members even lost themselves in singing “啾~” along with Kita Ikuyo.

With this kind of performance, Suzumiya Chisato finally put her mind at ease.

After the second song ended, he finished filming and returned to the bar.

Ichichi Hoshige put the cold cola on his cheek.

"Congratulations."

Suzumiya Chisato shrugged and took it.

"Thank you."

----

Half past nine in the evening.

The Fanxing store was still bustling with activity, and a band was performing hard on the stage.

The store will probably not close until the early hours of the morning again today, but that has nothing to do with Chisato Suzumiya. He worked overtime for a while today, but it's time to get off work now.

"Thank you for your hard work. This is yours."

Before the Lonely Band left, Ichichi Hoshige stopped them and handed them five envelopes.

"The new song is great, the performance is good too, keep it up."

Her simple words made Ijichi Hongxia, who was already happy enough today, laugh out loud again.

The fact that her sister, who was so dishonest, could give such an evaluation was enough to show that their performance today was indeed great!

We walked out of the Fanxing store together. We didn't say goodbye at the door in a hurry today. Instead, we went to McDonald's together and ordered a family meal. We raised our juice glasses and clinked them to celebrate.

“I never expected it to be so successful!”

"Yes, at the end of the show, several audience members came to take photos with us. I feel like soon someone will ask us for autographs!"

“All in all, it was a great success!”

"My sister also said that she would like to ask us to take care of the performance next Friday night as well."

“In fact, when I first went on stage, I was so nervous that I almost cried when I saw so many people in the audience.”

"Haha, that's too exaggerated..."

The table near the window was extremely lively, but the people actually communicating were Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Kouka.

Although Yamada Ryo was also very happy, he focused more on the hamburgers and fries.

Chisato Suzumiya bit her straw, stared out the window, and thought silently about something.

As for Goto Ichiri, she kept her head down and remained silent, her pretty face flushed.

"Oh, come to think of it, I almost forgot."

Ijichi Kouka clapped her hands, and Kita Ikuyo also understood instantly. They both took out the envelopes given to them by the store manager when they left, took out 200 million yen from it and handed it over. Although Yamada Ryo seemed very reluctant, he still made the same move.

Chisato Suzumiya looked at the six ten thousand dollar bills in front of her and looked at them in surprise.

"This is our thank you gift to Qianli-kun. Thank you for writing such a lovely song for us, and thank you for taking care of us these days. Please don't refuse it."
