I have bound two systems.

Ichichi Hongxia explained the 10,000 yuan bill they handed over.

"If there is any income from the song about I'm so cute, I'm sorry, we will give part of the remuneration to Suzumiya-kun."

Goto Ichiri looked as surprised as Suzumiya Chisato.

Apparently, the other three members who ended the band made this decision without telling her.

However, this was not isolated, but after they knew about her close relationship with Chisato Suzumiya, they regarded the two of them as a couple and felt that it was okay not to discuss it with her.

This is one of the reasons why Chisato Suzumiya chose the Ending Band as her trial object in the beginning. When working with kind and sensible people, you will often not encounter so many troubles such as intrigue and scheming.

The envelope given by the store manager contained 30,000 yen, which should be the same for all five of them.

Judging from the fact that they directly hand over two-thirds of what they earn from a performance, they value companionship and relationships more than money.

We are all good kids.

"No, I've already received my payment from the store manager."

Suzumiya Chisato's refusal was within Ichichi Kouka's expectations.

However, in her opinion, it was natural for Chisato Suzumiya, who was responsible for composing the songs, to receive such a large amount of remuneration. Just when she was about to show a tough attitude and force Chisato Suzumiya to accept it, the other party's light words silenced her.

"Compared to such trivial matters, there are more important things to do now."

"Something more... important?"

The three people across the table exchanged puzzled looks.

Suzumiya Chisato took back her right hand that had been playing with Goto Ichiri's palm under the table and began to speak seriously.

"To be honest, this performance was pretty good, but is this all you wanted?"

Kita Ikuyo tilted her head in confusion.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, don't you want to be more popular? Don't you want to perform on a wider stage, be known by the people of the whole country, hold your own performance, and have tens of thousands of people cheer for you?"

The scene described by Chisato Suzumiya was so grand that Kita Ikuyo and Ijichi Nichina were stunned for a moment.

"Can we...really do that?"

"Everything depends on human effort. Once you set a goal, everything depends on hard work. Just be at peace with yourself."

Chisato Suzumiya patted Ichiri Goto's shoulder.

"Then the previous doubt was answered, about how I sold more than 30 tickets in one day. The answer is her."

"Pochi-chan?"

"Well, she's very good on the Internet. Does Guitar Hero know her?"

"Of course I know, that guitar blogger who has great skills but never shows his face...ah!"

Ijichi Hikaru paused, then her expression became a little interesting. She pointed at Goto Ichiri with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Pochi-chan is the...guitar hero?"

The last few words even trembled when they came out of her mouth.

Goto Ichiri covered his face and lowered his head again in shame.

Chisato Suzumiya nodded for her.

"Ahhh!"

Ichichi Hongxia was extremely excited.

"No wonder I felt that Pochi-chan's guitar looked so familiar. I felt like I had seen it somewhere before!"

"It was the store manager who told me about this. Thanks to Yili, the tickets were sold so quickly."

Ijichi Hongxia quickly opened her phone and looked up the updates on Guitar Hero. Sure enough, the latest update was about ticket sales. More than a hundred people left comments, and many of them said they would go to support the show. No wonder the store was much busier than usual today. During the performance, some people were seen holding handwritten signs of Guitar Hero.

"Pochi-chan——"

Ichichi Hongxia showed a resentful look in her eyes, quite dissatisfied as to why she didn't tell them directly about this matter.

"Let her go. She probably thinks there's no need to talk about this kind of thing."

Goto Ichiri nodded quickly in response to Suzumiya Chisato's words, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Let's get back to the point. Do you want to go one step further than you are now, gain more people's love, and move forward towards becoming a professional band?"

Chisato Suzumiya asked this question very seriously. This question was related to how he could earn his first pot of gold in reality, and its importance was self-evident.

If everyone who ends the band just thinks that the current level of small-scale operations is fine, he will look for other partners or think of other ways to make money.

But it is obvious that the band led by Ijichi Koka, as he expected, is not satisfied with the status quo and has the ambition and motivation to move forward.

“My goal from the beginning was to bring motivation and happiness to everyone as a drummer.”

Ichichi Hongxia's eyes were firm.

"Me too, I couldn't be happier to play with you all, and I want to continue like this with you all."

Kita Ikuyo raised her hand high with full energy.

"You've said this to us, which means you must have a lot of thoughts in your mind."

Yamada Ryo was wiping the ketchup off the corner of his mouth when he first noticed the faint smile on Suzumiya Chisato's lips.

"Yes, there are a lot, but it's so late today, and I have to catch the train one mile..."

"Come to my house and sleep, and we can also talk about the future development direction of our band."

Ijichi Kouka looked at Suzumiya Chisato with burning eyes.

"And Suzumiya-kun, take this opportunity to join the closing band!"

This proposal caught Suzumiya Chisato off guard.

But he finally rejected Hongxia's proposal and did not join the band. He had a lot of things to deal with and could not squeeze out time to play in the band.

However, under Hongxia and Kita's insistence, he was forced to take on the title of "band agent".

Never mind, just let them be happy.

After coming out of M, Suzumiya Chisato sent the four girls to the door of Ijichi Apartment. He did not go in. After borrowing Hongxia's laptop, he went straight home.

You have to strike while the iron is hot. Since the feedback from the band's live performance has been very good, it is natural for them to create a collective account to post performance videos to accumulate fans and popularity.

Creating an account, adding information, editing the video and posting it will probably be very late tonight.

But he always felt that he had endless energy. He thought of his lucky talent and believed that things would most likely develop in the direction he hoped.

So if nothing goes wrong, after the live performance of this song is released today, it will definitely receive a lot of clicks and reposts.

Tomorrow is Saturday. Let them record a formal version of the song in the studio and post it on the music website.

Chapter 187: Not Optimistic One Color Feather

On Saturday morning, after meeting a friend outside, Shizuka Hiratsuka looked at the time, bought some fruit, and drove to Isshiki's house to visit.

Isshi Caiyu has been absent from class for three days since Wednesday, three days ago. Her parents also called to ask for leave.

They said she was unwell, but they didn't specify what the cause of her discomfort was, whether she was sick or injured. Hiratsuka, who had a strong sense of professionalism as a teacher, couldn't help but be concerned.

Going to someone's home without informing them in advance is a helpless move, because calling in advance will give the other party a chance to refuse, while if you go to the door on your own initiative, the other party will definitely not refuse to let her in for a cup of tea.

At least I have to figure out the students' situation and put myself at ease.

Shizuka Hiratsuka's thoughts are simple and unpretentious.

"Ding-dong-"

The person who opened the door was Mrs. Isshiki, who had the same flaxen hair as her daughter, simply draped over her shoulders.

Shizuka Hiratsuka noticed the fatigue that could not be concealed between her brows and her eyes were very red and swollen. It seemed as if she had not rested well or had encountered something very upsetting. She looked very haggard.

"Ah, Hiratsuka-sensei."

Mrs. Isshiki had accompanied her daughter to the opening ceremony and had met the young teacher in front of her.

"I'm sorry for coming here without permission. I'm really worried about Isshiki's condition."

Hiratsuka Shizuka bowed and handed over the fruit in her hand.

"A little token of my appreciation."

"Really, you are so polite."

Mrs. Isshiki quickly brought slippers and invited Shizuka Hiratsuka into the house.

The two sat down on the sofa and hot tea was quickly served. After Hiratsuka Shizuka politely praised the sweetness of the tea, she did not hesitate any longer and directly asked about the matter that she had been most concerned about in the past few days.

"Mrs. Isshiki, Iroha has taken so many days off in a row. Is she sick?"

Mrs. Isshiki sighed.

"It doesn't seem like she's sick. Caiyu seems to have encountered something. Her...emotions have been a little off these days."

"mood?"

"Yes, this Wednesday morning, after she got up, she seemed a little absent-minded. It was time for breakfast, so I went to her room to call her. I saw her squatting in the corner of the bed with her face covered with her ears. I called her for several days in a row, but she didn't respond until I walked over and shook her shoulders. Then she threw herself into my arms and burst into tears."

When Mrs. Isshiki described the situation in detail, she seemed to think of the situation at that time. She felt very distressed to see her beloved daughter in such a state.

"That child grew up very early and would occasionally act like a spoiled brat to me, but he hasn't cried since he graduated from elementary school."

Hiratsuka Shizuka simply comforted Mrs. Isshiki and came to this conclusion at the first opportunity.

"Iraha, is she having a nightmare when she's acting like this?"

"I thought the same thing at the time. After I asked Caiyu, she didn't answer. She must have agreed. But she refused to tell me about the dream and refused to eat. I was a little panicked at the time. I just knew that I was worried about her state that day. I was afraid that something would happen to her if she went out in such a distracted state, so I asked for leave for her."

"This is the right choice. Her safety is more important than anything else."

Facing Hiratsuka Shizuka's affirmation, Mrs. Isshiki shook her head bitterly.

"But it's no use. Caiyu's condition didn't get better as I thought. Instead, it got worse."

These words made Hiratsuka Shizuka's heart hang in the air, but this was also within her expectations. If Isshiki Iroha could recover that day, she would not have taken three consecutive days off.

Mrs. Isshiki continued,

"Iraha locked herself in her room on Wednesday. She refused to talk to me and didn't come out to eat. It wasn't until her father came back in the evening and scolded her in a rather tough manner that she ate a little bit. Then she locked herself in her room again and sat in front of the computer watching videos."

"Watch the video?"

"Yes, Tom and Jerry. I guess she wanted to watch some relaxing videos to calm her down. I asked her how she felt, but she didn't answer me. She just forced a smile and said goodnight to me. I asked the child's father to go to bed because he had work to do tomorrow. I stayed alert and walked out of the room from time to time to secretly check on Caiyu. Then I found that she didn't sleep all night."

Mrs. Isshiki rubbed her temples.

"She made herself a large pot of coffee and went to the bathroom to wash her face. Even though she was very tired and kept yawning, she refused me when I urged her to go to bed. She seemed to be... afraid of sleeping."

"…Is she afraid that she will continue to have nightmares after she goes to sleep?"

"I think that's how it should be."

As Mrs. Isshiki told the story, things gradually became weird.

Would a freshman in high school be so scared of having a nightmare that he couldn't sleep? He's not a child anymore.

And based on Shizuka Hiratsuka's understanding of the student Isshiki Iroha, she shouldn't be so timid.

"And what about Thursday and Friday after that? Is she still in the same condition?"

"On Thursday morning, the child's father went to work, and I took Caiyu, who hadn't slept all night, to the psychological clinic."

Indeed, this is a judgment that conforms to reality.

But there was one thing that puzzled Shizuka Hiratsuka.

"Iraha followed obediently?"

"Yes, I was also surprised. I thought she would refuse, but in fact she seemed to be more proactive than me. Maybe the child also realized that she needed professional help."

"How did it go after that? What did the doctor say?"

"The doctor told me not to worry. He talked to Caiyu and said that teenagers are too sensitive and sometimes their emotions are affected by dreams. He prescribed some medication to help stabilize my emotions and calm my nerves. He also told me to pay more attention to Caiyu's diet and rest, and to urge her to exercise more. Sweating can also help with this situation."

"Since the doctor said so, it seems there is no need to worry. Did Caiyu take the medicine properly afterwards?"

"Well, she ate it, but the condition didn't improve."
