A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"Wow...Little Pochi's whole body has turned into black and white..."

Looking at Goto Kazuri who was curled up in the corner, hugging his knees and motionless, Ichichi Hongka couldn't help but recall the scene when she participated in the band rehearsal for the first time.

"Obviously I heard from Kita-san that their performance was quite successful. Why is little Poch being like this?"

"Probably because the energy is exhausted."

Ren Suzuki said:

"After all, this is the first time she has truly participated in a large-scale social event, so it is normal for her to consume extra energy. She will probably spend the next night recovering from the 'energy loss' she suffered this afternoon."

"So that's it... Indeed, for little Bochi, being surrounded by the whole class and asking questions is really quite terrible."

Yijizhi Hongxia nodded clearly.

"But no matter what, little Poch finally started to have a good relationship with other students in the class. No matter how you think about it, it is indeed a good thing."

"Yes, and she did work hard in her own way."

Suzuki Ren also nodded with a smile.

"So, I hope you guys can tolerate her being out of shape a little bit today."

"It's a small matter. Anyway, today is just the same routine rehearsal as usual. Even if you touch the fish a little, it's nothing."

Yijizhi Hongxia waved her hand to express understanding.

"And to be honest, our rehearsal period has also begun to enter a bottleneck period."

"……bottleneck?"

Ren Suzuki, who thought everything was going well with the band, was surprised and asked:

"I've never heard of this, what's going on?"

"Nothing, just because regular practice is so boring."

Ryo Yamada, who was on the side, answered this question.

"Everyone is a little tired of repeated mechanical exercises, so they want to change to other activities."

"That's what I say... but you are probably the one who feels the most bored, right?"

"Humph~"

"So why are you so proud..."

I always feel like my blood pressure will rise every time I interact with Yamada Ryo.

However, Suzuki Ren was not incapable of understanding what she just said.

"So, is there anything specific you want to do?"

Ren Suzuki asked:

"If you want to hang out or something together, I can help you arrange your itinerary."

"Wow... Suzuki-san's tone of voice is becoming more and more like a manager! Not bad, not bad, now it feels more like a popular band!"

Itachi Nihongka was very surprised by Suzuki Ren's mature business answer.

"However, we don't just want to have fun, the main thing is that we also want to do some band activities besides rehearsal, such as taking group photos together, or deciding on logos and band uniforms."

"...It turns out it refers to this kind of thing."

Suzuki Ren nodded, and then said:

"Then, how about we decide on this weekend? I will still make the itinerary. Everyone just needs to gather on time."

Yamada Ryo: "I have no objection."

Itachi Hongxia: "This kind of work must be done by an agent!"

Kita Ikuyo: "I agree too."

Goto Kazuri: "………………"

Seeing that Gotou didn't respond, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Although I knew that this child was tortured by his classmates today, it would be too exaggerated to say that he could not even speak.

"There's nothing we can do. Let's discuss this matter when she's in better condition tomorrow."

"Although it may be rude to say this, I think Suzuki-san doesn't need to consider Pochi-chan's reply at all."

Kita Ikuyo suddenly said:

"As long as it is Suzuki-san's suggestion or instruction, Pochi will definitely agree immediately and strictly implement it."

"...Indeed."

Ichichi Hongka also strongly agrees with Kita Ikuyo's statement.

"Little Pochi is not very good at rejecting others, and the other person is her most trusted Suzuki classmate... No matter how she thinks about it, she will agree."

"...Of course I know this kind of thing, but that doesn't mean I really have to ignore her answer."

Ren Suzuki himself also knew what the two said.

But even so, he still hopes to get a thoughtful answer from Goto Ichiri himself.

"As her popularity and status in the class continue to increase, she will definitely face more and more expectations and requests from others. In order to prevent her from forcing herself due to some unreasonable demands, she must not be allowed to develop This way of thinking ignores her own wishes. Otherwise, her life will definitely be very difficult in the future."

"……I see."

"I didn't think about that."

After learning about Suzuki Ren's good intentions, the two of them suddenly showed expressions of realization.

"As expected of Suzuki-san, you are always so far-sighted!"

"This way of thinking is so mature... almost like an adult."

Because I am already an adult...

After making a small complaint in his heart, Suzuki Ren came to Goto Ichiri, squatted down, and carefully observed her situation——

"No wonder he didn't respond...it turned out he was asleep."

Ren Suzuki smiled bitterly and said:

"Although she has been very lethargic on the way here, I really didn't expect that she would just sleep here like this."

"It seems that I am really tired..."

Kita Ikuyo also squatted beside Goto Ichiri and looked at her sleeping face carefully:

"If I had known earlier, I should have let her go home and rest today... Really, she is obviously so tired, why didn't she tell us properly?"

"Probably to avoid causing trouble to us."

Ren Suzuki said:

"People with low self-esteem are always very harsh on themselves. Rather than affecting today's rehearsal, it's better to force yourself a little bit."

"What an incredible idiot..."

Kita Ikuyo sighed, then turned to Suzuki Ren and said:

"Then, let's wait until tomorrow to discuss the weekend with Pochi-chan. As for today... let's just touch the fish a little bit. What do you think, Ijichi-senpai, Ryo-senpai?"

"Okay, it just so happens that I haven't helped the store for a long time."

Yijizhi Hongxia agreed readily.

"Here's Liang, what are you going to do?"

"It doesn't matter what happens to me..."

Yamada Ryo said calmly:

"But until then...Suzuki."

"kindness?"

Ren Suzuki, who was suddenly called, couldn't help but turned back with curiosity:

"What's the matter? Yamada-san?"

"Come with me later. I have something to discuss with you."

As the other two people watched in great surprise, Yamada Ryo said:

"About...our band's first original song."

Chapter 36: Deception with the same purpose

In order to create a place where they could talk alone, Yamada Ryo and Suzuki Ren went behind the drink counter.

However, considering Yamada Ryo's own way of doing things and her extremely lazy style, Suzuki Lian really didn't dare to let her help with the work.

"So, what's up with the original song?"

Suzuki Lian said while holding the drink cups.

At this time, Goto Kazuri was still sleeping, while Kita Ikuyo was on the side using an unplugged guitar to contact the music score.

As for Ichichi Hongka, she was sitting with the store manager, chatting about the band and Livehouse.

"Yamada-kun, have you already started arranging the music?"

"It's indeed being compiled, but it's not a song, but an intro."

"Prelude..."

Because he had studied band knowledge for a period of time beforehand, Ren Suzuki naturally recognized this word.

"In other words, is it a piece of pure music that does not require lyrics or singing?"

"Well, and in this intro, basically 70% of the time is the solo time of the lead guitar."

Yamada Ryo said:

"In other words, Little Poch needs to play alone for nearly a minute and a half in this intro."

"...It's a big responsibility."

After hearing this, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but sigh:

"So, do you plan to use this intro for subsequent arrangements? Or will it be used directly as the opening act for the band's performance?"

"I prefer the opening. After all, I can't determine the tone and style of the song before I receive your lyrics."

Yamada Ryo replied calmly:

"Not to mention this intro, I originally wrote it specifically for Little Boqi."

"…………"

After hearing this, Ren Suzuki suddenly showed a rather surprised expression.

"Especially for Gotou-san...why?"

"Originally, it was just because I simply wanted to see what Bochi's guitar can do, but after listening to Kita's recording today, my purpose is more than that."

Ryo Yamada looked into Ren Suzuki's eyes and said:

"I hope that in this way, she can completely build up her self-confidence, thereby eliciting what she most wants to express deep in her heart."

"...You think very highly of her."

Ryo Yamada is a person who is absolutely confident in her own strength and taste. Since she said so, it seems that Goto Ichiri's performance during the lunch break was indeed good enough.

"But...is there any necessary connection between soloing and self-confidence development?"

"Well, after all, you just got into the game not long ago, so you probably don't understand... many of the great guitarists in the world are actually quite self-centered narcissists."

Looking at the resident band who was adjusting the equipment on the stage not far away, Yamada Ryo showed a rather emotional expression.

"The feeling of being given high hopes by the band, bathing in the gaze of all the audience, and being able to do whatever you want on the stage... is the easiest way for people to build up their self-confidence. Even a person like Xiao Boqi, who has low self-esteem to the core, during the lunch break The solo also showed amazing potential. You must not have known it, right? When Little Bochi played in the second half, she added a lot of improvisational content. Not only that, she didn't even disrupt Kita's singing rhythm at all... This kind of inclusive and individual playing style is what a qualified lead guitar player should have.”

"…………That’s it."

Although I don't know the profoundness of it, since Yamada Ryodu said so, it seems that Goto Isri's level may indeed be much higher than he expected.

"So, what is it that you specifically want to discuss with me alone?"
