For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

"Then your college life is full of beauties and partying every night? And how can you find time to come to us in your spare time?" Akiyama Mio supported her chin with one hand and took a sip from the porcelain cup with the other hand.

“Is there a possibility that I am going to college to further my studies and acquire knowledge?”

Facing the girl's teasing eyes, Wang Yueshuo sighed helplessly. He wanted to defend himself, but when he thought of the saying 'A gentleman is willing to accept words but quick to act', and that only facts could correct the girl's stereotype, he silently took it back.

............

Tokyo, Shimokitazawa, STARRY.

An unknown music writer named Sato Aiko grabbed Goto Ichiri's hand.

The woman in a lolita figure stared straight at Yili's face, the longing light in her eyes was bright and dazzling.

"Well... well... could it be that... I really didn't expect... to meet..."

"You.. oh no, you are the guitar hero, right?!!!"

She asked in an impatient tone.

Chapter 40: Doubts and Confusion

The morning light shines, the breeze blows gently, and the dawn illuminates every corner of the world, bringing new hope and vitality to the people living in this world, but Goto Ichiri draws open the curtains listlessly, greeting the new day with a tired heart.

With his eyes drooping with complete listlessness, he stood in front of the mirror washing up, listening to the loud speech of the waiter behind him and the barking of Jimmy Henry. Goto Ichiri just thought they were noisy.

So tired... so sleepy... I really want to go back to sleep...

Goto Ichiri stuck the toothbrush into her mouth and rubbed it up and down and left and right, looking at herself in the mirror. She looked extremely haggard, with her long pink hair messy. It was exactly the same as the current situation in her mind, both of them were as muddy as a ball of paste.

I can’t write…I can’t write! I want to die!!!

How can Liang compose such a song so quickly?!

And Brother Shuo, without any announcement, a new song has been released?

And it's not just a superficial assembly line song...

This caused Goto Ichiri, who wrote the lyrics, to fall into deep self-doubt and feel extremely tormented.

Although he knew that he was no match for Saku, and had always been aware of Mochizuki Saku's true strength, the huge gap in strength between the two of them always made Goto Ichiri feel despair every time he looked at it.

Thinking of this, she ruffled her hair which she had just combed with great difficulty.

"Mom - my sister is going crazy again!" Behind her was the waiter's caring and friendly voice in the background.

Although Hongxia and Liang did not rush her, but instead encouraged and comforted Ichiri not to worry, Goto Ichiri, who was good at self-consumption, fell into even more serious anxiety.

After I got the news at 7 o'clock last night, I started putting on headphones and playing the demo on loop. I kept writing and drawing on the lyrics book, and before I knew it, I had written until dawn.

Although the girl worked so hard, she couldn't even decide the first word of the work progress!

Well.....

I can't think of any interesting words. I want to die...

Today's Goto Ichiri is also awesome!

...........

After a day of study, Goto Ichiri's already pale face became even paler, his cheeks had a slightly sickly flush, and his steps were unsteady and chaotic, as if it would not be a surprise if he fainted on the spot in the next second.

Kita Ikuyo looked at her swaying back with some concern, "Pochi-chan, how about you take a day off today and not go to work?"

"Ah...is it really okay?" Goto Ichiri spoke in a muffled voice and let out a big "Ahhh" after he finished speaking.

"Your current condition is very worrying!" Kita Ikuyo frowned.

"Well... I'll ask for leave from the store manager when we get to the store... Okay..."

Thinking of the stern expression of Manager Xingge, Goto Ichiri was a little scared and buried the lower half of his face in his scarf.

The following picture suddenly emerged in my mind - a little white rabbit stretched out its paw and gently tapped the lazily lying fox. The ferocious fox with golden hair glanced at the little white rabbit nonchalantly, as if asking her something, and the latter immediately hung her head, and her soft body trembled.

The road from Xiuhua to Fanxing is actually not very short, but Pochi feels that it is very long and far.

"Good afternoon, Pochi-chan, Kita-chan~" Hongxia was as energetic as ever. She moved lightly under the gaze of the two people, showing off her clothes and raising her chin with a little pride.

“Clang clang clang——”

"Because it's winter now, the temperature has dropped sharply and it's getting cold, so I made a new band sweatshirt."

After saying that, she also pulled up Yamada Ryoya, who was slumped on the sofa, and showed them the features of this band sweatshirt like manipulating a puppet.

"It looks pretty good!" Kita Ikuyo said with some surprise. Not only does it feel warm and comfortable, but Hongxia also designed it slightly differently based on each member's personality and clothing style.

"Hehe, right, right~" Hong Xia hummed with satisfaction after receiving the praise.

"....Unlike the short-sleeved shirts in summer, hoodies can cover the entire upper body. I like winter clothes the most..." After putting on the winter band uniform, Goto Ichiri also put on the hood of the hoodie. He curled up like a black snail.

"Ichiri-chan has become like a snail!"

"It's a new species of Pokémon, Hoodie Snail!" Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up, and after thinking for two seconds, he blurted out: "Do you think Hoodie Snail will move after being sprinkled with salt?"

"You will die!" Kita Ikuyo snatched the bag of salt from Senior Liang's hand and said seriously.

Hong Xia looked at the absurd scene in front of her and complained, "Liang, you'll lose friends if you keep saying things like that."

"Huff, huff, huff~ Hongxia really took it seriously." Yamada Ryo said teasingly with his eyes half closed.

"What, you bastard!" Hong Xia was furious.

"Bounce back."

“The rebound is ineffective.”

"I bounced back and your rebound was invalid!"

Kita Ikuyo looked at the two seniors bickering like kindergarten kids and shook her head lovingly. She accidentally glanced at Ichiri who was trying to strike up a conversation with Ijichi Hoshika, and her thoughts returned to the main business. "Ah, by the way, Pochi-chan came here to ask for sick leave from the store manager."

"Sick leave, is Pochi-chan sick?" Hongxia was stunned for a moment.

"She seemed to have not slept all night because she was writing lyrics. Her voice also sounded muffled. I think she might have a cold." Kita Ikuyo had reasonable suspicions. Hongxia then looked at Xiao Boqi carefully. The girl's clear and bright eyes were now dull and her face was pale and listless.

"Then little Pochi should go home and rest. It would be bad if he gets sick."

Hongxia frowned, a little worried.

"Ah, thank you, manager. Thank you very much..." Goto Ichiri bowed to express his gratitude.

"Little Pochi should pay more attention to his health. Next time you ask for leave, go home and rest. Then call me or send me a message when you get home." Ijichi Xingge's voice was gentle and caring. She patted the girl's shoulder, indicating that she could go home.

"Ah... OK... OK... Goodbye everyone..."

"Goodbye~"

"Pochi-chan, remember to take medicine to prevent colds when you go home."

"Okay..Okay!"

Goto Ichiri nodded solemnly.

Just as she turned around to leave, the starry door was opened with a bang.

A petite 'Lolita' wearing cute dark clothes appeared at the door.

"Hello everyone, I am the person who writes reports for the band evaluation website of the band research room. Please allow me to interview the band Ending~"

After she finished speaking, the woman saw that no one paid attention to her. She was not embarrassed, but continued with a smile on her face: "Oh, I remembered that I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is poison? An, I am fourteen years old? ~"

Chapter 41: Do you think you are a loli/guitar hero?

The crisp sound of hitting the keyboard stopped abruptly, and the woman fell on the table with a plop. Her young and tender face came into close contact with the cold computer desk. She groaned in pain, denouncing that inspiration was as fleeting as running water and would never come back.

"Ah - no inspiration at all -"

"There are fewer and fewer new bands that I like recently. Wow! Can I find a band that touches my heart... like a technical band like Pilipala Clang Clang Bang with amazing skills!"

"I write rubbish every day just to earn subscription fees and page views - other writers are writing fierce articles attacking bands... Really, why did I become a music writer..."

At the beginning, it was obviously to let more people know about the good band...

As you can see, Sato Aiko, who is sitting with her legs bent in front of her laptop, is a music writer. Her writing career spanning several years can only be described as a barely successful debut.

Except for those passionate articles she wrote when she was a student and had stable views and subscriptions, most of the articles she wrote after work failed halfway, so that now Sato Aiko has become an adult who works hard to earn views and subscriptions.

The woman shook her head and had no choice but to stop writing. She picked up the boiled water that had long been cooled beside the computer and drank it all in one gulp. She sighed in frustration: "Even if I write an article carefully, no one will read it————"

With my other hand, I randomly clicked on a website and saw some weird articles with hundreds of thousands of views on the homepage. I was so jealous. Damn it, I don’t want to write such worthless articles! I want to be the editor of ROCKIN or Guitar Magazine!!!

Sato Aiko, 23 years old, is a freelance writer and is working hard to become an editor of a famous band magazine!

Just as she was about to click to close the webpage, a piece of groundless news caught the woman's eye. "[The keyboard player of a certain college band is suspected to be the famous YouTube music blogger Mochiduki]? Is this true? Mochiduki, who has such great skills, is actually a high school student?"

"Interesting! I smell the scent of headlines!" Sato Aiko's eyes lit up. As a professional writer, she quickly realized that this was a great opportunity that could make her soar to fame.

Now that the opportunity to become famous is right in front of me, I have to consider whether this will be my only chance in this life!

Sato Aiko worked hard as soon as she said it, as if she was given an injection of chicken blood.

..............

Time returns to the present.

Although it was a pity that I didn't get to see the performance of the great Mochiduki himself, I happened to meet "Guitar Hero" who also has 3 fans on YouTube. It was really like "planting flowers intentionally but they don't bloom, but planting willows by accident and they grow into a shade."

Sato Aiko excitedly held Goto Ichiri's hand and said sincerely:

"I have always been your loyal fan!"

"Hey! Red bean paste?"

It was as if chaos suddenly appeared, the sky was struck by thunder, and the girl's thoughts were completely swallowed up by shock. Goto Ichiri trembled violently, and her legs tucked under her pink sweatpants were like nails to the ground, unable to move. Her stunned expression froze on her pretty face, and her deep blue pupils couldn't help but dilate.

"Red Bean, yo!"

Sato Aiko nodded seriously.

"Hehehe~" Goto Ichiri laughed and scratched his head, he was so proud that he was about to melt.

Ijichi Hongxia was slightly startled when she saw Pochi-chan's face gradually turning red, and then she chuckled.

It turns out that Pochi-chan can recover so quickly, is it the power of fans?

"Pochi-chan, what are you talking about, Guitar Hero? What is that...?"

Hearing the unfamiliar words, Kita Ikuyo frowned slightly and cast a puzzled look at everyone.

“Huh? Eh————?!”

Sato Aiko looked at Kita as if he were a savage from a barbaric era, "Don't you know?"

"Uh... well, is this common sense? Do all the seniors know this?"

After receiving affirmative answers from seniors Nijiya and Liang, Kita Ikuyo scratched her face in embarrassment. It was the first time that she was stared at with such rude eyes.

"Guitar Hero, also known as Guitar Hero, is a super capable high school guitarist with 1000 fans on YouTube. I heard that she is very popular among boys and girls in school. She has more than friends, and her boyfriend is the ace of the basketball club, a super popular girl!!!" As a qualified band writer, Sato Aiko naturally knew everything about the band and introduced it to Kita in a torrent of words.

Her attitude was so enthusiastic and her tone so yearning that she ignored the feelings of the guitar hero himself.

The smile on Goto Ichiri's face disappeared at a speed faster than light, and was replaced by a mask of pain.

This is what they call... a public execution, right?!

"Did you... recognize the wrong person?" Kita Ikuyo answered immediately.

"That...that is to say! That person and this completely gloomy girl look like the same person?!" Ijichi Hongxia's explanation was like a sharp blade piercing Xiao Yili's heart. The latter covered his heart and vomited three liters of blood.

Now Goto Ichiri is regretting, regretting very much!

She wanted to cry but had no tears, and she tapped her toes on the ground in embarrassment. Her only thought at this moment was to cut ties with the guitar hero who had boasted on the Internet.

Goto Ichiri: I, I, I, I... I don't know anyone with this name (madly denying)

"Now that you mention it, it's true. The characteristics described on the Internet don't match his image at all." Sato Aiko frowned, looking him up and down, stroking her chin in thought.

The girl in front of me has long hair that grows randomly, giving people a sense of casualness and unpretentiousness.... She also wears a sports jacket and does not blindly follow the trend, which also shows her extraordinary beauty. But the most important thing is that even under the ordinary appearance of her clothes, there is a unique and extraordinary beauty inside.

After this series of inferences, Sato Aiko became even more certain that the girl in front of her was the Guitar Hero!

"There is only one truth, you are indeed the guitar hero!" Sato Aiko pushed the fake reflective glasses on her nose and told the truth in an extremely serious tone.

"So, why is that?"

Hong Xia slapped her head suddenly and felt that this world was so absurd.
