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

"Come to think of it, don't we need to ask Senior Liang and Brother Mochizuki to design clothes?" Five fair and slender fingers fiddled with the mechanical pencil casually, and the pencil flexibly rotated and jumped on Kita's fingertips.

"Ah... I indeed didn't see Saku-san and Ryo-san..." Goto Ichiri also realized this belatedly. He had prepared drinks and snacks for five people yesterday, but only Kita and Nijigasaka came to visit his house.

"As for Shuo-kun, he said he had something to do today to help a friend with his studies, so he couldn't come. And Liang...she said her grandmother was in a life-or-death situation tonight," Ijichi Hongxia sighed, glanced at the girls who looked worried, and quickly explained:

"Oh, of course, that's just a lie. As far as I know, this is her grandmother's tenth [life-or-death] moment this year."

"She's probably listening to music with headphones in a record store right now. Luckily her grandmother is still alive. Oh no, not at all. When her classmates invited her to play after school some time ago, she used the excuse that her beloved dog Beth needed surgery. She obviously has never had a dog!"

"Before that, she also said that she had received news about her long-lost twin sister and that her father had an accident and lost his memory. These excuses sounded very fake, and I don't know why the classmates believed them."

When Hongxia talked about her childhood friend, she became more talkative. She complained to Kita and Ichiri about Yamada Ryo's ten crimes, and her words were full of bitterness and pain over the years.

It really makes those who hear it sad and those who listen to it cry.

"I think... it's probably because most people wouldn't be so cruel to their family members if they told a lie..."

The kind-hearted Kita also expressed her incomprehension at first, but when she thought about the pitiful way that Yamada Ryoga, who always had a cold face, wiped his tears and acted like a spoiled child, she understood the feelings of those 'innocent' classmates.

"Help your classmates with extra lessons?" Goto Ichiri lowered his head in disappointment.

My grades aren't that good either. Can Brother Shuo come over and give me some tutoring?

"Oops, I'm getting off topic again. I should just design a T-shirt to celebrate the end of the band."

Hong Xia saw Yili hanging his head and quickly returned to the topic, cursing Wang Yueshuo in her heart.

Although he is not here, his figure is everywhere around us. He is really a sinful guy.

Distributing the picture books in the schoolbags to them one by one, Hong Xia added with a smile: "Everyone can use these to draw whatever they like. I think the safest way is to directly print our band logo, and I think it will be much easier to make this into peripherals."

"Hong...Xia...is only thinking about making money. Could it be that she has also been infected by Liang?"

"If you can come up with a better solution, please adopt it~"

"Okay! Let's work hard together, Goto-kun!"

Extracting the key words: friendship, hard work and victory, and organizing her thoughts in her mind, Kita Ikuyo quickly drew her imagined ending band uniform in her sketchbook. There were countless, densely packed motivational words and phrases on the bright colors.

Goto Ichiri felt like his eyes were going to be blinded by the light just by taking a glance.

"This kind of clothing is absolutely not allowed." Ichichi Hongxia handed down the judgment mercilessly.

"Huh?! My sportswear proposal number one was rejected just like that?"

"Hey, where's Pochi-chan's? Let me see~"

Goto Ichiri was startled and tried to hide the picture book behind him quickly, but unfortunately, in terms of physical strength, Hongxia, who inherited the magical skills of Sister Xingge from her family, could naturally fight against five Ichiri alone. She easily took the picture book that symbolized the abyss in the eyes of the girl.

"Ugh!"

After watching for a full minute, Ijichi Kouka made a sound of admiration, and her sharp eyes made Pochi think that his fashion design was successfully accepted, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Pochi-chan, your dressing style seems to be from the non-mainstream era of the last century."

Goto Ichiri's smile froze on his face.

"Nani Nani? Hiss... Indeed... I feel like I have the beauty of a boy in the second grade of junior high school... Hmm."

Kita Ikuyo, who stretched her head to take a peek, couldn't help but take a breath after seeing clearly.

Not everyone can accept the middle school aesthetic. After all, you don’t want to wear a T-shirt with gothic fonts, chains, and lots of zippers, and a tattered hem when performing in a live house or on a larger platform, right?

"I, I, I, I...I know I was wrong, and I will repent!!!"

Goto Ichiri snatched the picture book with tears in his eyes and apologized hesitantly.

"Look, people are really coming!"

Goto Jiri pushed open the door and appeared like an angel, successfully saving her injured sister. She held Goto's mother's hand and pointed at Kita and Nijika with a smile.

"Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Excuse me~"

The girls all smiled politely.

.......

"Oh, I never thought I would actually see Ichiri's friends come to our house to play." Goto's father drank a glass of beer with relief and said happily: "I thought Ichiri would never have any friends in his life except for the kid from the Mochizuki family."

"Eat more." Goto's mother greeted them with a smile as she served the sumptuous dishes.

"Okay, thank you for the treat!"

"You guys helped Yili form a band, right?"

"Ah, it's not that we helped her form a band. To be precise, I begged her to join the band. After all, Yili plays the guitar very well." Hong Xia waved her hand and explained.

"Honey, you see, music really has a magical power that can connect people. Just like how we got to know each other because of music. Hahaha, music master, thank you very much!"

"That's right. Has this child immersed herself in her own world and caused trouble for you?" Goto's mother, who was very familiar with her eldest daughter's personality, touched the side of her face and asked worriedly.

"No, those are not trouble at all."

"Yeah, I find it quite interesting."

They are all very gentle girls.

Goto's mother looked at the happy young girl sitting together with satisfaction, and cheerfully brought a plate of her daughter's favorite fried chicken nuggets, placed it in front of Goto Ichiri, and reminded her:

"The one in the far side is garlic soy sauce, the one in the near side is salt koji, and there's also lemon juice and shichimi fungus. Add according to your taste."

"Phew, luckily we went out to buy ingredients today. Well, let's make today our family's anniversary! - Friends' Anniversary!" Goto's father's face was radiant and he cheered excitedly.

"Don't...don't be like this, Dad. Oh, I don't want to care about you anymore..."

Goto Ichiri waved her hands awkwardly, showing her girlish temper rarely seen in front of her parents.

Chapter 81 Burnt out, leaving only snow-white ash

After lunch and a movie, time flew by inadvertently. She flipped through the picture books and notes filled with drawings. The words were full of imagination. The design drawings that represented the girl's brainstorming were scattered on the table, like colorful blooming flowers.

Finally, Ijichi Kouka made the final decision and chose the original design draft that Kouka had prepared at the beginning, the simplest pure black T-shirt with the name of the ending band printed on it!

"Then let's just choose this version." Hong Xia sighed.

But there is nothing that can be done about it. After all, Kita's [Hot-Blooded School] and Ichiri's [Punk Chainsaw] are still too much for people of this era.

Hongxia was actually glad that she had prepared the most reliable version, so as to avoid being infected and overwhelmed by Kita and Ichiri's "unique" aesthetic.

"Come to think of it, is this the only set of clothes Goto-san has?" Kita Ikuyo closed the picture book, held up her chin and looked at Goto Ichiri, who was wearing a pink sportswear, with some curiosity.

"Could it be that Bochi-chan also has a similar lining under her sportswear?" Hong Xia glanced at Ichiri's sketchbook and was also very curious. She wanted to lift Bochi-chan's hypocritical shell and peek into her heart...

"Ah, my mother is the one who buys clothes for me, so that's not the case." Goto Ichiri explained while sitting on the floor.

"I see." Hong Xia felt relieved a little.

"It's just that it's not my taste, so I've never worn it." Yili was stunned for two seconds and added silently.

Kita & Nijika: "I really want to see it! (≧▽≦)"

The girls seemed to have grown clever cat ears on their heads, and a fluffy tail emerged from under their long dresses. They rushed to Goto Ichiri at lightning speed, blinking their eyes, with bright stars of "I'm curious" twinkling in their eyes.

"I've never seen Goto-san wearing anything other than a sweatshirt."

"Please, try it on for a bit~"

Pochi was caught off guard and shook his head and waved his hands, stuttering and unable to utter a complete sentence.

"That's... no problem, I just hope you don't dislike me after reading it..."

Boqi: The real social phobia can't even refuse others.JPG

"Great!!!"

Soon, Kita and Hongxia felt deeply guilty for their previous ignorance.

A lovely girl like a fairy suddenly appeared in front of them, with her long, smooth hair falling down like a waterfall without any disorder. Although her long hair on her temples half covered her eyes, they could still see their own image reflected in the girl's clear eyes through the "veil". On both sides of her face, her petite and lovely ears were hidden in her long pink hair like crimson cherry blossoms.

The girl was wearing an 'anime style' sailor suit. The clean short-sleeved white shirt perfectly outlined her plump and graceful figure. The red bow on her chest stayed obediently above the bulging mountains, and the knee-length black skirt on her lower body exposed large areas of the girl's snow-white skin hidden under her clothes to the eyes of Hongxia and Kita.

God has a perfect appearance, but he never shows it to mortals easily.jpg

Fairy Goto just looked at them, then immediately lowered her head unconfidently, her moist lips slightly pursed, and she revealed a faint smile with some embarrassment.

"So...so cute!!!"

Goto Ichiri's cuteness has already revealed the tip of the iceberg, and has deeply attracted the attention of two equally beautiful girls, Hongxia and Kita. They can't wait to keep their eyes on Pochi, and can't help but make the sounds they make when they see a cute creature.

"Such big breasts!"

“Great, look at the camera!”

Following a burst of camera clicks and glaring flashes, Kita Ikuyo raised her cell phone and took a lot of photos of Goto Ichiri who had changed into casual clothes.

After being used to seeing Goto-san wearing a sweatshirt, it was really amazing to see her wearing cute and pretty clothes! She was emitting buling pink bubbles. Although her eyes still showed a feeling of despair, the power of the wilderness in her body could not be concealed.

"That's right, little Pochi is very cute!" Ijichi Hongxia crossed her arms and nodded proudly.

What? The members in my band are really pretty!

"Because she's so weird, I almost forgot she's a girl, haha..."

Kita Ikuyo inadvertently uttered very sad and cruel words.

"Well...um...can I take it off?" Goto Ichiri asked with a gloomy face and trembling.

"By the way, comb your bangs higher, it will definitely be cuter that way!"

"Yeah, Ijichi-senpai is right, I thought so too!"

She...they were chatting so animatedly...they couldn't hear me at all...

Goto Ichiri weakly withdrew his raised hand.

Finally, after discussing how to be cuter, Kita propped his chin up with both hands and asked, "By the way, did Goto-san grow those bangs on purpose?"

"Ah, no, I don't dare to get a haircut, so I keep my hair this long..."

"Then let me do your hair!" The slender white fingers fluttered and a sparkling comb appeared in Hongxia's hands. She puffed out her chest confidently, promising to make Pochi-chan look brand new and show her true cuteness again.

"Ah, no need...eh...???"

Before Goto Ichiri finished speaking, Ijichi Nijinka had already gently lifted her long bangs. The next moment when they saw those lake blue eyes in shock, the world turned gray and time seemed to have stopped. Kita, Nijinka, and Ichiri all froze in place without even blinking.

Danger! You disturbed Pochi!

With Hong Xia's casual movement, the world suddenly changed, and a devastating force was brought to the world.

Goto Ichiri's body became illusory, like the withered cherry blossoms in late spring. With the strong wind blowing from the window, it kept dancing and dissipating in the air.

"Pochi-chan is getting more and more wilted!"

"Because the sudden exposure caused a surge in stress, my body couldn't adapt!"

The yellow and blue candy cube hairpin fell empty on the floor, accompanying the snow-white ashes left after its owner, Pochi, burned to ashes. The melodious elegy echoed in this gray world, as if mourning the girl's departure.

"Pochi-chan, dead."

Hong Xia suddenly knelt on the ground, covered her head with her hands, and let out a painful wail.

"Ijichi-senpai, what's wrong with you?!"

"Ah, my head...I suddenly feel dizzy, and the room suddenly becomes dark and damp. Oh no! The oxygen is becoming thinner!"

“Guaaa… Is this the end?”

Chapter 82: Night with Yamada Ryo and Midnight Snack

The evening breeze in late May was gentle, caressing the girl's cold face softly through the gaps in the window that were not closed properly.

The dark blue hair dancing in the wind tickled her neck, but Yamada Ryo remained calm and put the curry in the spoon into her mouth without stopping. Her calm face could easily make people wonder if there was a landslide, tsunami or earthquake, but she would always have this expression and remain calm in the face of danger.

"Tick dong——"

She turned her head and glanced at the message from Kita on her phone screen, looking confused.

[Hongxia: The official performance is up to you and Shuo-kun.]

Yamada Ryo: ??? Please turn on the microphone to communicate.

Mochizuki Saku, who was sitting next to the girl, complained with amusement:
