The audition had already made her nervous, but she didn't expect that Makima would have to watch from the side.

But...if that's the case, then we should perform even better, right?

She has always been the type who will be pushed to unleash her potential under high pressure.

This was the case every time I encountered a demon or was in danger of my life.

Snapped!

Goto put one foot on the ground and strummed the strings of his guitar vigorously.

The other band members couldn't help but be taken notice by her sudden outburst.

Even Makima, who didn't understand music, had a change of expression.

……

"To be honest, I really didn't expect this." Xingge sighed, "You have only spent a few days on the song, but the level of completion is really high..."

Hong Xia was sweating profusely and asked, "So you mean we are qualified?"

Xingge looked a little distressed, and said helplessly: "Although I really want to find fault with it, how can I put it..."

"Based on what you just played, if I closed my eyes and listened, I would have thought I was listening to the records gathering dust in my warehouse."

"Huh?" Hong Xia was confused.

"She meant that you are close to the level of a professional band." The black-haired woman laughed. "Really? Is it necessary to be so tactful when praising someone?"

Xingge turned her head away embarrassedly.

"Yeah!" Everyone cheered when the band finished.

Xingge couldn't help but sneak a peek at them again, but she was thinking more in her mind.

——Is this rapid growth a coincidence?

——No, not at all. Especially the aura that Pochi and Kita exude when they are performing. That is definitely not the level that a high school band should have.

——I even heard a hint of Samurai, but the music styles are completely different and the time periods are too far apart...

——It’s okay that Pochi-chan has been playing the guitar for so many years, but what’s going on with Kita?

"That's great." Makima said.

"Miss Makima also thinks their performance is great?" Xingge asked.

Machima continued, "I really don't understand music, so I can't tell whether something is good or bad, but... within my professional field, I can tell a little."

"That guitar of Pochi-chan's must be a great weapon for killing demons."

Chapter 45: Loneliness Wants to Become Popular

"A good weapon to kill demons?" Xingge was sweating. "What does that mean?"

Makima chuckled and said, "I'm just kidding."

"Oh...oh...so that's how it is..." Xingge let out a sigh.

If an ordinary person said this, she would just treat it as a joke. However, the Miss Makima in front of her was a senior public security official, and also from the Anti-Magic Department.

The way she talks doesn't sound like a joke at all!

On the other side, the ending band was still immersed in joy.

Kita originally wanted to go up and hug Goto, and then shout "We succeeded" in a youthful manner.

But with Makima watching her, she really didn't dare.

This can be regarded as a blatant provocation. If Makima is really a demon as powerful as the war demon, he will not even know how he died.

After all, even if she was possessed by a demon, she was still a mortal...

"Well, um... Miss Makima, what do you think of our performance?" Goto asked with some concern.

"Yeah, I enjoyed it." Makima nodded truthfully, "I'll come to support you when you officially perform."

"I'm glad you like it!"

Goto had a faint smile on his face.

Although Makima has always been interested in her, this is probably the first time she has truly been herself in front of Makima, rather than the fictional "chainsaw demon".

Makima checked the time and said apologetically, "I have something else to do and can't stay any longer. You guys keep going."

"Welcome back~" Hong Xia waved her hand quickly.

After Makima left, Kita finally felt relieved.

She glanced at Goto furtively, then looked away again.

——The excitement has passed...suddenly I don’t want to hug her anymore.

Kita sighed silently in his heart.

"Can you show some courage?" The War Demon suddenly appeared behind him. "I told you to try your best to build a good relationship with Pochi-chan, get to know her better, and then you can do it when it's time!"

"Eh?"

"Really? If you don't go, I'll come."

In a moment of distraction, Kita lost control of his body.

Then he trotted over to Goto, hugged him, and shouted, "Pochi-chan, we did it!"

"Um... yes, yes." Goto was startled and replied hastily.

The next moment, the two looked at each other.

At this time, the war demon had returned the body to Kita, and the scar and eyes that appeared in an instant also returned to their original state.

Kita himself looked at her at a loss, and Goto also looked nervous.

The faces of both of them flushed slightly at the same time.

"Hey, hey, hey..." Kita quickly let go of his hand and explained, "I, I might be a little too excited."

"Yeah...it's okay." Goto said.

Kita breathed a sigh of relief.

She could feel her heart beating so fast that it was about to jump out of her chest.

——Really, it’s all because of the demon of war that we became like this!

——Otherwise, it’s just a hug. I always do this with my friends. What’s there to be nervous about?

Kita thought with certainty in his heart.

——Didn’t the war demon want to kill her?

At first, War Demon said he wanted to build a good relationship with Pochi-chan in order to confirm her identity.

Now that their identities have been confirmed, is there any need to continue to be close?

——I seriously suspect that she just wants to use my body to get close to Pochi-chan. Killing people is just a gimmick. Now she’s not pretending anymore!

The war demon appeared beside her ear and said, "Hey, watch your thoughts. I heard everything."

"Don't use your human brain to make assumptions about me. How can you possibly understand my careful considerations?"

"You just need to know that my goal is to kill Pochi... As long as I have the chance, I will do it, and you just need to follow my orders, that's all!"

"Okay, okay, I got it." Kita said hurriedly.

Instead of continuing to fight with the war demon, Kita chose to obey her.

After finishing the audition, the four of them got together again.

"The sound check is done, and the time for the first live show has been agreed upon with my sister. The next step is to sell tickets." Hong Xia said excitedly, "Everyone needs to contribute!"

"Okay, leave it to us." Kita nodded.

"Then everyone is responsible for selling five tickets. This is the quota that must be met. No one can be less."

"It should be fine." Liang thought for a moment and said.

Although Liang didn't seem to have many friends, he was surprisingly popular in school, so it was more than enough to sell a ticket.

Goto also counted on his fingers and thought about it.

——Um...five tickets.

——Dad, Mom, Erli, Jimmy Henry, Bochita...

——Ah, no, no, no, dogs definitely cannot be counted as human heads, and Bochita cannot be seen by humans.

——Now Erli has also been arrested and his whereabouts are unknown. I don’t know when he can return home, and he probably won’t be able to make it to our Live.

——Then... Dad, Mom, Makima, Xiaohong...

——What about the last person?

——Or maybe just call that guy Dianci over... No, he's a homeless thug, I'm not sure if I can find him, and he may not have the money to buy a ticket.

——So I still have to look for it among the four anti-demon subjects?

——Arai resigned after that incident, and the only ones left are Pava, Himeno, and Akira.

——If I ask Pava to come, she will probably agree with great enthusiasm... But, will it really be safe if I ask her to come?

——Was he too excited and blew up the speakers in the performance room with a few punches?

——But as for the remaining Himeno and Qiu…I am not very familiar with them either.

Goto was genuinely troubled.

The only consolation is that she is no longer in the embarrassing situation she was in before high school, where she couldn't find anyone except her family.

"Then Ryo, Kita, and I will each sell five tickets, and Pochi-chan will be responsible for selling ten tickets. Is that okay with everyone?" Hongxia clapped her hands and said, "That's settled!"

Goto was stunned.

"What?" She finally realized what was happening and couldn't help but exclaim, "How many tickets do I sell?"

"Ten~" Hong Xia said, "We were just talking about this, were you distracted and didn't hear it?"

"But, maybe...Um, why am I the only one who sells so much?"

"Hey, as the saying goes, those who are capable should do more work. Pochi-chan, you are so popular, so I'm counting on you!"

Goto's entire body was numb.

——Does Hongxia have any serious misunderstanding about me?

——I don’t have any friends at school…

Goto wanted to deny it, but the words couldn't come out.

——But, she praised me for my good popularity.

Goto has always wanted to get out of social phobia and become a popular person.

"Oh, oh... no problem!"

Goto almost held back his tears and agreed reluctantly.

Chapter 46: Loneliness and the Purple-haired Female Passerby

There are less than ten days left until the Live premiere.

Goto was outside, still in distress as he looked at the three tickets left in his hand.

According to her previous plan, she gave two tickets to her parents, one to Xiaohong at school, and one to Makima.

Makima was really perceptive and immediately discovered what Goto was worried about.

After Goto told her the reason, Makima promised directly: "It's okay, give me three more tickets, and I will ask Pava, Qiu, and Himeno to go and support you."

"Don't worry about them not wanting to go. I'm their boss, so I can just force them to go."

Even though it felt unkind, Goto really couldn't refuse such help and thanked Makima repeatedly.

Machima didn't think it was a big deal, and even said, "Why don't we use the power of the police to put up an advertisement in the downtown area? That way, we will definitely have no problem finding people to come."
