Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"I don't mind. I had a full breakfast and I don't feel hungry now." Nakamura Mine waved his hand to refuse.

"Then I'll go alone. See you later, Yui, Nakamura-san." Manabe Kazu didn't show any disappointment, and his face was still gentle and indifferent.

"Well, see you later, He He."

"Oh, see you later."

Just as Hirasawa Yui was about to use her sister's love lunch box, Nakamura Mine opened his phone and ended the band's group chat.

[Ijichi Hongxia: @Nakamura Mine, Goto Ichiri, Kita Kita, how are you? Are you adapting to the first day of high school life? 】

[Yamada Ryo: If anyone dares to bully you, just hit them hard on the head with your guitar.]

[Ijichi Hongxia: Don’t give me such bad advice! What if I take it seriously!? ]

【Kita Ikuyo: Well, everyone in the class is very friendly. I'm eating in the cafeteria with some new friends right now. Where's Goto? Do you want to join us?】

【Goto Ichiri: No, thanks. I've found a great place to eat. 】

[Nakamura Mine: Isn't it the corner of the corridor or something like that? ]

【Goto Ichiri: ......】

[Ijichi Hongxia: Well, let me announce some good news now! ]

[Yamada Ryo: Paji Paji~]

[Ijichi Koka: It’s too early to applaud! ]

【Kita Kita: What good news is this? Ijichi-senpai, please stop keeping me in suspense.】

[Ijichi Nikka: Well, ahem~ Actually, my sister has promised me that if I can pass her rehearsal, she will arrange a live performance for us! ]

[Nakamura Mine: If you hadn’t told me, I would have almost forgotten that we were a band. I had suspected that you had tricked us into coming here just to get us to work part-time.]

[Ijichi Nikka: I wouldn't do anything so extreme! ]

[Yamada Ryo: But if we still have to attend the rehearsal, then we will be the same as the other band members, right? Is this good news?]

[Ijichi Hongxia: For my tsundere sister, it's good news that she can honestly give us a chance.]

[Nakamura: Indeed.]

【Yamada Ryo: Indeed.】

【Kita Kita: Indeed.】

【Goto Ichiri: Indeed.】

[Ijichi Hinikaka: That's the thing, but there is a problem now, that is, we don't have our own original songs yet. Although it's not impossible to use some popular songs during the performance, if that happens, I will definitely lose points.]

【Yamada Ryo: I am more interested in composing music. 】

[Kita Kita: Ryo-senpai can also compose music! That's amazing! ]

[Ijichi Nijika: Then the composition is decided to be a failure, and the remaining things are the lyrics and arrangement...]

[Nakamura Mine: Leave the arrangement to me. I have been catching up on a lot of knowledge in this area recently, so it would be a good opportunity to practice it.]

[Ijichi Nijika: Not bad, then can we let Pochi write the final lyrics? I don't think Kita has any experience in this area, right?]

[KitaKita: I'm sorry, it didn't come in handy, but I believe Goto-san can definitely come up with great lyrics! ]

Chapter 78: Seduction

[Goto Ichiri: Just leave it to me. I can easily handle the lyrics. I will definitely write lyrics that will be in the style of a popular band.]

【Yamada Ryo:......】

"Xiaofeng, what are you looking at?" Hirasawa Wei, who had finished his meal without realizing it, came over curiously.

"Nothing, the band just wants to make an original song and decided that I would be responsible for the final arrangement." Nakamura Mine said casually.

"Band!!!" Hirasawa Yui shouted in surprise. She had no control over the volume at all, so much so that all the students who remained in the classroom looked at her.

"Xiao Feng, do you have a band?! That's awesome!"

"Hey, please speak a little more quietly..." Nakamura Mine felt a headache when he saw the eyes staring at him from all directions.

"Oh, sorry sorry, I'm just a little surprised."

"There's nothing to be surprised about, right? There are a lot of high school students playing in bands nowadays. I know a second-year student who has a lead singer in a band and is quite popular." The person that Nakamura Mine was referring to was of course Otsuki Yuyuko.

"Is that so? I always feel like we are all the same age but seem to live in completely different worlds." Hirasawa Yui said with a somewhat envious tone.

Nakamura Mine glanced at the somewhat depressed Hirasawa Yui, and then said nonchalantly:

"Then do you want to give it a try?"

"Eh? Me? I can't do that. I don't know anything about music. But my kindergarten teacher praised me for playing the castanets well!"

Castanets?

Nakamura Mine was very suspicious that Hirasawa Yui might have underestimated the castanets.

"No one understands at first. Weren't you also interested in my guitar before?"

"Well, because it looks cool!" Hirasawa Yui said honestly.

"In that case, that's a good reason to learn guitar."

"Hmm? Is this all right?"

"Well, actually, there are many people who start learning guitar for this reason."

"Um... Xiaofeng too?"

"Me? That's about the same..."

Hirasawa Yui returned to her desk and fell into deep thought... After about two minutes, Hirasawa Yui fell into a deep sleep.

"This guy..." Nakamura Mine thought that what he said just now was in vain. Most likely, Hirasawa Yui would not remember anything when he woke up.

After school in the afternoon, Nakamura Mine said goodbye to Hirasawa Yui and Manabe Kazu, and was about to head towards Shimokitazawa Fanxing. As soon as he walked out of the school gate, he was stopped by a somewhat familiar voice.

"Hey, where are you going?" The person who called him was a quiet-looking girl wearing black-framed glasses. Nakamura Mine felt that the other person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was for a moment.

"Which one?"

"Huh?! Didn't I congratulate you via email on getting into our high school?" She said excitedly and took off her glasses.

"Ah, it's Miss Yuyuko." Nakamura Mine recognized the other person only then. It was not his fault. It was mainly because Otsuki Yuyuko's current outfit was too different from her previous queen-like outfit.

"I've told you so many times! Don't call me like that!" Otsuki Yuyuko scolded Nakamura Mine in annoyance.

It's really interesting that the reaction is so big every time...

"You can either call me Otsuki or just call me by my name, but don't use that ridiculous name anymore!"

"Oh, yes, then what do you want me to do, Youyouzi?" Nakamura Mine asked obediently.

"You, you, how can you call a girl's name so casually!" Otsuki Yuyuko seemed a little flustered because she had never expected that Nakamura Mine would actually listen to her and call her by her name. In fact, this was the first time she was called like that by a boy of the same age.

"I say, didn't you ask me to call you that? Why are you shy now..." Nakamura Mine looked helpless on his face, but he was laughing in his heart.

"Nonsense!"

"Okay, let's stop joking. So do you have something important to tell me?" Nakamura Mine forced the subject back on track.

"Who wants to make trouble with you..." Otsuki Yuyuko muttered softly before continuing:

"I heard from Hongxia that you guys seem to be finally preparing for the performance?"

"Oh, you call each other very intimately. It seems like you have become good friends. That's great." Nakamura Mine gave a meaningful look. She had heard from Hiroi Kikuri a long time ago that Otsuki Yuyuko did not look like a friend at all because of her unfrank personality.

"What does it have to do with you!" Although she was so happy to have made real friends that she could even be woken up by her own laughter in the middle of the night, Otsuki Yuyuko would never show it on the surface.

Although she was the only one who thought she hid it well, Nakamura Mine could see the corners of her mouth trembling slightly as she tried hard not to laugh.

"Hmph! Anyway, I'm here to warn you that you can't satisfy everyone with your level. Don't let yourself get so frustrated that you can't recover. That would be embarrassing."

"Are you here to remind us in advance because you're worried that our first performance might fail? You're unexpectedly a worrier, Yuan Guizi."

"..."

"Hmph, in short, you better not act too embarrassingly." Because her thoughts were exposed, Otsuki Yuyuko said this and left quickly with a red face.

"We'll call you during the performance." Seeing this, Nakamura Mine shouted from a distance. He didn't care whether the other party could hear him clearly or not, he was about to rush to Fanxing.

Arriving among the stars, Nakamura Mine discovered that everyone except Kita Ikuyo had already gathered and started to prepare, and the time was much longer than usual in the morning.

"You all come so early, haven't you visited any clubs?" Nakamura Mine actually wanted to visit various clubs, but since today is the first day of school, there are too many people visiting the clubs, and Nakamura Mine really doesn't like the feeling of being crowded together with a lot of people, so he decided to wait for a few days when the enthusiasm has died down before going. He just doesn't know when Tianzhong Ritsu will ask Akiyama Mio to rebuild the light music club together.

"Well, I was dragged to visit a lot of clubs last year, but Ryo has no interest in any of them. As for Pochi..." After explaining, Ijichi Hongxia turned her gaze to Goto Ichiri who was wiping the tables and chairs obediently.

Goto Ichiri felt the gaze directed at him and raised his head even lower.

"The gathering place of the winners in life, the club, is my forbidden zone..."

Chapter 79: Band Style

"Well~ That's what you expected, but it looks like Kita won't be able to come today, right?"

"Yes, after all, Kita-chan is a very popular person. She has already asked me for leave." Ijichi Kouka nodded in agreement with Nakamura Mine's guess.

"Hey, you over there, stop chatting and get to work." Ijichi Hoshige used her notebook to urge Nakamura Mine, who was standing and chatting at the door, to work.

"Yes~" Nakamura Mine responded weakly.

"What kind of attitude is this? I'll deduct your salary."

"Yes! I love working!"

"Well, very good." Ijichi Hoshika nodded with satisfaction, although she did not turn her head to look at Nakamura Minoru throughout the whole process. Of course, she did not see the reluctant expression of Nakamura Minoru which was completely opposite to his tone, but Ijichi Hongxia saw it all and could only cover her mouth and laugh.

"Ryo, do you have any good ideas for composing music?" Nakamura Mine chatted with Yamada Ryo while sweeping the floor.

"Not yet. I'll think about it when I get inspiration." Yamada Ryo shook her head, but then she turned her gaze to Goto Ichiri on the side.

"Pochi..."

"Huh? What's wrong? I rarely see you looking like you want to say something but hesitate." Nakamura Mine looked at Goto Ichiri who was working normally, and was a little confused about what Yamada Ryo wanted to express.

Yamada Ryo was silent for a while before continuing to speak, but he did not mention Goto Ichiri.

"Ah Feng, what kind of songs do you think have band style?"

"Huh? Band style?" Nakamura Mine was a little puzzled. He didn't know why Yamada Ryo suddenly said this. Was there any difficulty in composing?

"Well, what kind of song do you think can be the song of all the members in the band?" Yamada Ryo stated his question expressionlessly.

After hearing this, Nakamura Mine looked at Yamada Ryo with a look of disgust.

"What does your expression mean?"

"I say, don't compose music with such troublesome ideas in mind. You will definitely end up writing a boring song, and then my arrangement will also be very boring."

"......" Yamada Ryo was silent for a moment, then looked up and stared into Nakamura Mine's eyes and continued to ask:

"Don't you think that's important for the band?"

"Not at all." Nakamura Mine said firmly.

"Pochi, and probably Hongxia, and I have different ideas. I don't care how popular the band is. Well... I may be a little sorry to you, but this is indeed my true idea. You see, when people talk about forming a band, don't they usually say that they are playing with the band? Since it's just for fun, then of course you should do whatever makes you happy. If you think too much about it, wouldn't it be boring? That would be such a pity."

Nakamura Mine could now roughly guess that Yamada Ryo was probably asking him this because he was thinking about the past events in their band, but what he said was indeed his true thoughts.

"Is that so...that's indeed the case..." After hearing what Nakamura Mine said, Yamada Ryo rarely showed a warm smile.

"Ah Feng, I feel like you and I might get along surprisingly well."

"Isn't it a little too late to say this now? We've known each other for a few months, well... But it's true, I've been feeling this way more and more recently."

"Well... as a token of friendship, could you lend me some money first?"

"roll!"
