I have bound two systems.

Kita Ikuyo looked at Ijichi Seika, who was so angry that her hair was almost standing up a second ago. Her anger quickly dissipated after Suzumiya Chisato spoke a few words in a subtle and gentle tone. She became gentle like a cat with its fur standing on end that quickly calms down after being caressed by its owner. Suddenly, she had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

I always feel that these two people are a good match...

The term "sister-brother relationship" doesn't seem to be inappropriate when applied to them...

I feel a little unsatisfactory.

Kita Ikuyo thoughtfully inserted the straw into the milk tea, sucked the taro balls into her mouth, and bit them carefully with her front teeth.

At this moment, the noise coming from the side brought her back to her senses.

"Um... cool?"

"Pochi-chan, just stay still and let me hug you. For the sake of our overall development prospects, I really don't know what to say about letting you spend the night alone at the evil president's house... If only we could be a little more useful..."

"Forehead……"

"Stop talking. If you want to cry, just cry now. I can't heal the pain in your heart, but at least I can share a little bit of it for you, wuwuwu..."

"..."

Needless to say, this weirdo came up with some strange ideas without permission, and the people present at the event imagined a bloody drama.

Goto Ichiri, who was tightly hugged by Yamada Ryo, looked at the others for help.

As the band leader, Ichichi Kouka couldn't ignore it, so she stepped forward and grabbed Yamada Ryo's sleeve.

"Stop making trouble, let Yili rest for a while, we will start the formal rehearsal soon... Hey, you... don't hold me so tight, let go!"

"Woooooooo..."

"Yudai-chan, there's a pervert sticking to Pochi-chan here, come and help!"

"Eh...what should I do?"

"Help me pry her hands apart..."

"Hey, what are you guys doing? Do you think you're in the company?"

The final result was that the leader Ijichi stepped down and pulled Yamada Ryo away from Goto Ichiri, letting everyone sit down and the scene returned to calm.

"Ahem... Yili, your health... Will you be okay on stage later?"

After hesitating for a while, Yidizhi Xingge still felt that he had to ask this question briefly to feel at ease.

When she said this, Suzumiya Chisato was secretly laughing beside her. When she found out, she reached out and pinched the soft flesh on her waist without making a sound.

"Ah, no, it's okay, I... I'm fine."

Goto Ichiri answered in a panic, and when she noticed that everyone else was staring at her, she lowered her head and didn't dare to look up at them.

"Really? I'm glad it's okay."

After confirming the situation, Ijichi Hoshige coughed dryly and stopped talking about this topic. She told them to rest for a while and wait for arrangements, then she took Suzumiya Chisato out of the lounge to find the sponsor who had commissioned them to carry out the commercial activities.

The four members of the band who were left were still in the awkward atmosphere, looking at each other.

Only Yamada Ryo approached Goto Ichiri again without any concern and asked about what happened last night.

Goto Ichiri blushed even more at her blunt words, and was so shy that he didn't know what to do.

"Don't bully Pochi-chan. How can I tell you about this kind of thing that involves privacy?"

Ijichi Kouka came between the two of them and pushed Yamada Ryo away with a very tough attitude. She hugged Goto Ichiri like a hen protecting her chicks and would not let the other person get close to her.

Yamada Ryo could only shrug helplessly and sit down next to Kita Ikuyo.

She looked at Kita Ikuyo who was drinking milk tea silently, and suddenly had some ideas.

"Yudai-chan Yudai-chan."

"kindness?"

"Have you noticed something wrong with Pochi-chan?"

"This... must be the case. After all, she went... went... to Qianli-kun's place last night."

The two of them were alone together, and they were in adolescence when hormones were released the most. Kita Ikuyo put herself in the situation and felt that they must have done everything they should have done.

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"That's not what I'm talking about."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Hasn't Pochi-chan grown up in a sense?"

"..."

This statement is not wrong.

Kita Ikuyo blushed, glanced at Goto Ichiri, and nodded.

"So it's not just her appearance. When I hugged her just now, I felt that the smell of her body had also subtly changed."

"smell?"

"Well, I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel like I can smell the president's scent on her. This is what the book says, that when two people like each other, not just Xingge, their bodies will eventually change towards each other."

After saying something that seemed to be an unconscious sigh, Yamada Ryo stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom," and left the lounge.

Kita Ikuyo was left silently thinking about her last words.

She didn't pay attention to most of what Yamada Ryo said, her mind was occupied with only one thing right now.

You can smell the president's scent on Pochi-chan now.

"...!"

She secretly observed Goto Ichiri who was chatting and laughing with Ijichi Kouka on the side, and her heart was filled with tension and conflicting thoughts.

She hesitated for a long time, looked at the closed door of the lounge, and finally got up and walked to Goto Ichiri and sat down next to her.

There was no difference from usual, they had always had a good relationship.

It was just that one time that Kita Ikudai was particularly close, and when she spoke, she would deliberately lower her voice so that Goto Ichiri could not hear clearly, thus creating an opportunity for her to get close to the other person's ear, so that she could capture and confirm the smell that Yamada Ryo just mentioned...

Outside the lounge, Yamada Ryo withdrew his gaze from inside, and then the corners of his mouth rose silently.

She had long been aware of Kita Ikuyo's feelings towards Suzumiya Chisato, but only now could she finally come to the final conclusion.

…………

Chapter 110: My former mentor

【Are you free today? 】

【Is there a problem? 】

【Come out and keep me company.】

[What? Don't underestimate the social interaction of adults. I'm very busy. If you have some free time, go find your sister.]

[Xue-no-chan doesn't want to hear me complain about those messy things. ]

[I've already said that this is a mess. You're being considerate of your own sister, but you're ignoring the feelings of your former mentor. What do you think of me as? A trash can for negative emotions? ]

[Don't say that~ Strictly speaking, the charming and elegant Ms. Shizuka Hiratsuka is my life mentor who has shown me the direction of my life.]

[It is only at this time that you will say these nice words. ]

[What's the matter? I'll be waiting for your message at home. Tell me where to meet.]

[Hey! I haven’t promised you yet! ]

【Hey.jpg】

On the LINE communication interface, the last reply to Shizuka Hiratsuka's call was a selfie reply in the style of Yukinoshita Haruno.

"The scissor hand and such a playful expression are really her style. I definitely can't use my own photos as emoticons..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka threw her phone aside, stood up, stretched out her hand, and yawned lazily.

She drank too much yesterday, so she was still dizzy when she woke up this morning. She suppressed the discomfort in her head and forced herself to finish the toast and milk on the bedside table. Then she leaned against the headboard and fell asleep again.

This time I had a particularly comfortable nap, but the time when I woke up was a bit scary, it was already past three in the afternoon.

I haven't even felt the break for long, but the new semester is about to start again...

Shizuka Hiratsuka walked out of the room in her pajamas and sighed as she looked at the slightly messy living room.

She had been planning to tidy up the house today, but Yang Nai suddenly asked her out and she couldn't refuse. It seemed that this plan had to be postponed and she would deal with it tomorrow.

Shizuka Hiratsuka walked into the bathroom, took a shower, brushed her teeth, and thought about where they would meet later.

She had planned to go out a little later as usual to ask Yang No out to go to the izakaya she often went to.

However, as the water soaked her body and her mind gradually became active, she suddenly remembered what her good friend had told her when she was in a daze before leaving her.

"I've left your breakfast here. I have work to do and I have to leave first. Remember to eat something later, otherwise you'll have stomach problems..."

"If you are free tonight, you can come to Aoyama Music Bar in Shinjuku. I have work there tonight, and my sister and her friends will perform on stage, so they can entertain you..."

Qingshan Music Bar...

After taking a shower, Shizuka Hiratsuka returned to her room and picked up her cell phone. While gently wiping her hair with a dry towel, she opened the corresponding APP to check the relevant information about the bar.

Judging from the public reviews and the interior photos uploaded by the store itself, it's pretty good.

It seems that since I started to pay attention to my emotional problems, I rarely go to such places.

One reason is that there is no one to accompany me, and another reason is that women who often go to bars do not give people a good impression.

However, a good friend of mine was working there today, and she wanted to show off her proud sister in front of me. In addition, judging from the content of the message, Yang No was not in a very good mood.

As for venting emotions, this kind of bar with live performances and noisy and lively atmosphere is obviously a more suitable place than izakaya.

It shouldn't be a big deal to make this exception after a long time. After all, I don't have the idea of ​​encountering any ambiguous incidents in the bar.

Hiratsuka Shizuka opened the communication interface with Yukinoshita Haruno, sent her the location map of the bar, and added text content.

[Can we meet here later? My friend will be having a LIVE performance there today, so I'll come and support him.]

The other side responded almost instantly.

【OK. 】

----

Thanks to the effective publicity work done by the bar owner in the early stages, customers began to pour in intermittently just after five o'clock in the evening.

It was finished before the rehearsal, and there were no problems with the stage lighting, microphones, sound systems, etc.

The four members who finished the band were also in pretty good shape, with Ijichi Hoshika paying special attention to them. Goto Ichiri, who had just become an adult last night, didn't behave unnaturally anywhere.

Her fingers were still flexible and her guitar playing level was still on point, which made her feel a little relieved. She secretly sighed that her boss, who was not a very polite person, still knew his limits.

The beef rice takeaway that Chisato Suzumiya ordered earlier was delivered soon after, and everyone sat together in the lounge to eat.

There are still nearly two hours before the official performance. Eating now will help digest the food before going on stage, and it will not affect the quality of the performance.

Halfway through the meal, Ichichi Xingge took out his cell phone, looked at it, put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and stood up.

Suzumiya Chisato looked at her.

"what happened?"

"A friend of mine is coming over to support the show. I'll ask the bar owner if I can reserve a seat for her that's a little closer to the stage."

Ichichi Xingge waved casually and walked towards the door at the side.

Yamada Ryo took this opportunity to quietly pick up the few pieces of gravy-covered beef rolls left over from Xingge's meal and put them into his own bowl.

"Want me to come with you?"

While continuing the conversation, Chisato Suzumiya used her chopsticks to nonchalantly snatch the beef roll from Yamada Ryo's hand and put it into her mouth, ignoring her resentful gaze.

"No, I'll do it myself."

The door was closed and Ichichi Hoshige left.

"..."

Chisato Suzumiya continued to eat in silence, but she picked up her own bowl and started eating, not giving Yamada Ryo, who had just suffered a loss and was eager for revenge, any chance to fight back.

Hong Xiayi and Yu Dai witnessed what just happened and were laughing secretly on the side.

Yamada Ryo sighed deeply.
