Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"Huh? What do you mean by imperfect parts?" Nakamura Mine asked with an innocent expression, earning a glare from Ijichi Kouka.

"Something like a brothel." Yamada Ryo said shockingly.

"Don't answer such questions so seriously." Ijichi Hongxia blushed and lightly hit Yamada Ryo's shoulder.

"Hongxia, if you ask that, do you have any special plans for the holidays?" Nakamura Mine shot back. He knew that although she didn't look like it, Ijichi Hongxia was actually a stay-at-home girl. Although she had many friends, she usually didn't take the initiative to invite others out to play.

"..."

"Then let's move on to the next topic!" After being stunned for a few seconds, Yidi Zhihong Xia directly chose to change the subject.

"You actually chose to muddle through..."

"By the way, when can we have a live performance? I almost forgot that we are a band." Nakamura Mine is still looking forward to the live performance. However, he has never stood on the stage before and doesn't know what it feels like. However, his position is keyboard player, which is not very eye-catching, so he shouldn't be nervous, right?

"That's true, but I wanted to find a lead singer before asking my sister to let us go on stage. In fact, I tried to invite Ms. Otsuki to join, but unfortunately she has already found new band members." Ijichi Hongxia said regretfully. Indeed, although Otsuki Yuyuko's guitar skills are not as good as Goto Ichiri, she is indeed first-class as a lead singer. It is estimated that it is unrealistic for their real lead singer Kita Ikuyo to catch up with her in a short time.

"Her experience and popularity are far behind our band. It's a good thing that she doesn't join." Yamada Ryo said, supporting her chin. Nakamura Mine noticed that her tone was a little colder than before.

By the way, the last time I saw Guiko and her band disband, Yamada Ryoya sneaked away by himself. Was he remembering things about the band?

Nakamura Mine guessed this in his mind, but didn't say anything.

"There's no need to say that. We will definitely catch up!" Ijichi Hongxia made an encouraging gesture. Hearing her say that, Yamada Ryo just bit the straw and drank the drink without saying anything else.

"Let's not talk about that for now. Have you found any candidate for lead singer, such as a junior who admires you?" Nakamura Mine asked meaningfully. He was referring to the girl named Kita Ikuyo who admired Yamada Ryo. This girl had the most roles in the second simulation, and he had wanted to meet her for a long time.

"No...Afeng, who do you think we are? There is no such thing as admiration for us..." As she was speaking, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly saw Yamada Ryo, whose eyes were a little vague. Gradually, she stopped what she was about to say and turned to look at Yamada Ryo.

"It can't be true, right?" Ijichi Hongxia asked somewhat unconfidently.

"..."

Chapter 59: Miss Kita Ikuyo

"Before... there was a girl who asked me if I would consider rebuilding a band. She also seemed to say that she could sing..." Yamada Ryo said lightly after avoiding Ijichi Kouka's gaze.

"Um, Ms. Yamada Ryo, when exactly is this 'before' you mentioned?" Ijichi Hongxia looked at Yamada Ryo with the same dead fish eyes as her sister.

"About a week ago." Yamada Ryo answered honestly.

"Why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier!" Ijichi Hongxia's fist hardened.

"I did want to say it, but I forgot it after I fell asleep..." Yamada Ryo spoke in an aggrieved tone, trying to win the sympathy of Hongxia's mother.

"..."

"Forget it, forget it. Anyway, it's all thanks to Ryo that we have such a suitable candidate. Let's ask him if he is far away from joining our band." Ijichi Hongxia was finally defeated by the pitiful Yamada Ryo.

"Let me ask." Yamada Ryo instantly regained his calm expression, took out his cell phone, and started sending messages to Kita Ikuyo.

When I opened it, I found more than a dozen unread messages.

[Senior Liang, have you not seen the message yet? ]

[Are you really not going to continue playing in a band? I think Ryo-senpai is really cool standing on the stage, so please don't give up if you can! ]

[Liang Senior? ]

[I won't ask you again whether you want to rebuild the band, please don't ignore me...]

[Senior Liang, did something happen? ]

[Senior Liang, you have actually seen the news, right? ]

【Ryo-senpai...】

【Ryo-senpai...】

【Ryo-senpai...! 】

......

A rare expression of emotion appeared on Yamada Ryo's face, and he unconsciously held the phone farther away.

"The other party said that he doesn't want to come anymore..." Yamada Ryo said in an unnatural voice.

"No, you haven't typed a single word yet, right?" Before Ijichi Kouka could complain, Nakamura Mine couldn't help but said speechlessly. However, seeing that Yamada Ryo actually showed such a shocked expression, what exactly did Kita Ikuyo send?

I'm curious!

"Did the other party send out some bad news?" Nakamura Mine asked in a speculative tone, but in fact he was basically certain in his heart. After all, it was the first time he saw Yamada Ryo show such an expression.

"..." After hesitating and being silent for a few seconds, Yamada Ryo simply turned the screen of his mobile phone in front of the other three people. They all looked at him curiously. After reading the dozen messages, they fell silent with different expressions.

Ijichi Hongxia: Could this be another strange child?

Nakamura Mine: Oh my god, Kita Ikuyo, so this is really this kind of Kita Ikuyo?

Goto Ichiri: Is he a very bad person?

"I think you'd better reply to her, otherwise I'm worried that your life safety will not be guaranteed..." Nakamura Mine gave pertinent advice, and Ijichi Kouka and Goto Ichiri nodded in agreement.

"Or there may be some problems with the child's mental health..." Ijichi Hongxia added.

After thinking for a while, Yamada Ryo finally made a decision and started typing on his mobile phone.

[I have rebuilt a band with my friends, and now we are still in need of a lead singer and a secondary guitarist. 】

Less than half a minute after sending the message, Yamada Ryo's phone received a message.

[Senior Liang! You finally replied to my message (crying emoticon). ]

[I can do it. I can sing and play guitar. Please let me join your band! This is my lifelong request!]

[What is the name of the band? Have you decided on it? ]

【End the band.】Yamada Ryo replied.

For the first time, the message was interrupted.

[Does it mean unity? What a great meaning! As expected of you, Ryo-senpai! ]

She definitely didn't think so, Yamada Ryo was sure.

[I didn’t come up with the name.]

[That’s true! ]

At the same time, Kita Ikuyo, who was playing in KTV with her junior high school friends after the exam, was staring at the screen of her mobile phone with a smile on her face. This made her friends very strange, because on weekdays, Kita Ikuyo came to sing KTV but rarely paid attention to her mobile phone except taking pictures.

"Kitao? Did something good happen? You are smiling like that, could it be..." The girl who asked the question slowly approached Kitao Ikuyo with a wicked smile, then suddenly hugged Kitao Ikuyo and tried to snatch the mobile phone that Kitao Ikuyo was holding against her chest.

"Could it be that our little Kita has a boyfriend?"

"No, let go, haha, no, don't tickle me ~ haha ​​~"

"Surrender now! Watch me!"

"Stop, stop messing around~hahaha~"

Different from the cheerful atmosphere here, the four people in the Starry Lounge seemed much quieter.

"She has made an appointment to come here next Saturday." Yamada Ryo narrated calmly.

"Well, no matter what, it's always a good thing that such a suitable person comes." Ijichi Hongxia smiled brightly, but it obviously did not infect the other three.

Yamada Ryo: If I start to go on stage, I can consider selling the merchandise, sign my name on the merchandise, and sell it at three times the price...

Nakamura: This Kita Ikuyo seems very different from what I imagined. I thought she was a positive character similar to Nijika, but this yandere feeling seems a bit off.

Goto Ichiri: What if the new member is a difficult person to get along with? If so, what kind of gesture should I use to apologize? No! Under Afeng's devilish training, I, Pochi, have grown up. I can choose to run away or hide behind Afeng!

In this way, with the joint efforts of the three people who each had their own agenda and Ichichi Hongxia who worked hard to liven up the atmosphere, this celebration banquet ended perfectly. It is worth celebrating...

After that, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri rested for about a week, and then officially started working in Fanxing.

As expected by Nakamura, after secretly asking Goto Jiri, Nakamura learned that she had once again abused her body in order to delay her part-time job, but unfortunately she did not succeed this time. Even after soaking in ice water for half an hour last night, her body temperature this morning was still normal.

This was the first time that Goto Ichiri hated his healthy body so much.

Nakamura Mine looked at the lifeless Goto Ichiri and could roughly guess what she was thinking.

Chapter 60: Working

"Isn't it time for you to accept your fate? You know you can only run away for a while, so why bother?" Nakamura Mine opened Fanxing's door and knocked on Goto Ichiri's pink head. He would open it for her today, and let her come by herself next time when there are many people around.

When they arrived at the store, Ijichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo had already arrived early. Seeing them coming, Ijichi Hongxia immediately put down the work in her hands and came to them.

"Afeng, Boqi, you guys are here pretty early."

"I leave it to you." Yamada Ryo came over at some point and handed the mop in his hand to Goto Ichiri.

"Oh, yes." Goto Ichiri took it without thinking.

"Don't push your work onto others casually! And Pochi, don't let yourself be taken advantage of so easily!" Ijichi Kouka snatched the mop from Goto Ichiri's hand and returned it to Yamada Ryo.

Seeing that his plan had failed, Yamada Ryo went back to mopping the floor.

"So, what is our job?" Nakamura Mine asked.

"Well, Feng will be in charge of selling tickets. Each ticket is 1500 yen. Well, this job has always been done by Liang before, but as you know, Liang is always expressionless and can easily scare customers."

"OK, I will try my best to make sure each of them buys at least three tickets. If they don't, I won't let them leave intact." Nakamura Mine promised, patting his chest.

"Do you think we are gangsters? Just give me one normal ticket each! Don't do anything else! Seriously!"

"Yes~"

"Tsk, boring." Nakamura Mine muttered softly.

"Did you say anything?!" Ijichi Hongxia looked at him with unfriendly eyes.

"I said I will work hard." It didn't fit. Nakamura Mine felt for a moment that Ijichi Kouka had become her older sister, and she immediately sat obediently on the stool at the ticket desk.

"Well, very good." Seeing this, Ichichi Hongxia nodded with satisfaction.

Hongxia is usually very gentle, but she can actually show the same terrifying expression as the store manager... DNA is really scary.

"Little Pochi, you just take charge of serving drinks to the customers first. I'll introduce you to them." As she said that, Ijichi Hongxia took Goto Ichiri to the bar.

"Tonic water is here, beer is at the service counter, and base liquor is in the cabinet at the back..." Hongxia pointed out the locations of various drinks to Goto Ichiri while speaking. However, even so, it was still a bit too fast for Goto Ichiri, so she decided to change it into a song and then use her body to remember it.

"Huh?! Where did you get this from?!" Even Ijichi Nijika was a little confused for a moment when she saw Goto Ichiri taking out a guitar and starting to sing by himself.

"The base wine in the cabinet, from right to left."

"How scary, how scary. I'm glad that you're willing to take it seriously, but please put your guitar down first." Ijichi Hongxia hurriedly grabbed Goto Ichiri's shoulders and tried to stop him.

"Tequila, vodka, cocoa liqueur, rum, yeah!"

"Are you listening? You're definitely not listening, I mean, this is starting to scare me."

"Please, come back to your senses." Ijichi Hongxia tried to end Fujiichi's confused state by shaking him, but the effect was not good.

"You look very happy." A voice that sounded both gentle and indifferent sounded beside Nakamura Mine, and Nakamura Mine then turned his gaze back to Goto Ichiri and Ijichi Kouka.

The person who spoke to him seemed to be Miss PA, the sound engineer of Fanxing. He actually still didn't know her real name, but because her position in Fanxing was "Public Address", which means public broadcasting amplification, everyone called her Miss PA.

"Yeah, with them around, basically every day will never be boring."

"That's true. It seems like even the dull atmosphere in the 'Live House' has been dispelled."

Nakamura Mine has a pretty good relationship with Miss PA, but all he knows about her is that her daily routine is basically the opposite of that of normal people. Although he doesn't know what she does at night, he is sure that she is not sleeping.

As they were talking, a customer came over. Nakamura Mine looked up and saw a cute girl with pink twin ponytails.

"Excuse me, please give me a ticket."

"Okay, I'll give you 2000 yen for one ticket." Nakamura Mine reported the amount without changing his expression.

"Huh? Hasn't it always been 1500 yen before?" the girl with pink twin ponytails asked in surprise.

"..."
