Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"Look." Yamada Ryo raised his hand and placed it against Nakamura Mine's palm. Yamada Ryo's fingers were actually quite slender and beautiful, but when compared with Nakamura Mine, they looked a bit like an adult and a child.

"Oh, really." It was the first time that Ijichi Kouka noticed this. After all, she was a drummer and didn't care much about such things. Goto Ichiri didn't show any surprise. In fact, she had noticed this a long time ago. After all, she was the one who taught Nakamura Mine to play guitar in the beginning.

As for Kita Ikuyo, her brain froze when she saw Yamada Ryo put his hands together with Nakamura Mine.

"Liang, Liang-senpai! Look at my hands! " Kita Ikuyo hurriedly raised her hands in front of Yamada Liang.

"Awesome." Yamada Ryo first looked at Kita Ikuyo's bruised fingers, then praised her in a flat tone.

"Isn't that impressive? Then Senior Liang, let's compare ourselves with him."

"Yeah." Yamada Ryo also put his hands together with Kita Ikuyo's, but as expected, Kita Ikuyo's hands were very standard and delicate girl's hands, much smaller than Yamada Ryo's.

However, Kita Ikuyo herself didn't seem to care about this. At the moment, she just looked at her hands with a satisfied look and smiled foolishly.

Chapter 96: Bad People

This child might be incurable, so Nakamura Mine secretly gave Kita Ikuyo medical advice in his heart.

"This guy is Kita Ikuyo, and that one is Goto... um..." Nakamura Mine thought that he might as well introduce the last two directly, but as soon as he said Kita Ikuyo's name, he realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. He quickly turned around and looked at Kita Ikuyo. As expected, the other party showed a look of despair.

"Kita...Ikuyo?" Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama twisted each other's waist to prevent themselves from laughing impolitely.

Did her parents think about the embarrassment of their future child when they chose this name?

"Well, actually, this name is pretty good, isn't it? At least it's easy to remember." Nakamura Mine scratched his cheek and spoke somewhat awkwardly, but his words not only failed to comfort her, but made Kita Ikuyo feel even more upset.

"I don't want to be remembered this way!" Kita Ikuyo's eyes were filled with even more resentment, but because there were outsiders around, she quickly returned to her usual sunny and cheerful expression.

"Hello, you can just call me Kita. I'm the lead singer and guitarist of the band The End. This is Goto Ichiri. We're both freshmen at Xiuhua High School. Judging from your school uniforms, you and Nakamura are from the same school, right?" Kita Ikuyo pulled out Goto Ichiri, who had been secretly looking at the two of them under the cover of her overly long bangs, and introduced her.

"Ah, hello." Goto Ichiri nodded slightly.

"Hello, hehe, we are destined to meet each other." Tian Zhongli greeted with a smile. It is fate. They met once before when they accompanied Akiyama Mio to a music store outside the county to look at left-handed basses. They met again when they went to Shinjuku to buy equipment by chance. Now they meet again because they invited Nakamura Minoru to join the band. The probability of these coincidences happening together should not be greater than winning a 100 million yen lottery, right?

"Hello." Akiyama Mio still replied politely. Compared with Tianzhong Ritsu who had already relaxed a little, she was still not very relaxed. However, she had actually felt that the members of this band were all very get along with each other, especially Senior Yamada Ryo who was also a bassist like her. The other party's free and easy feeling made her even a little yearning. However, when she thought about it carefully, it seemed that this band was made up of girls except Nakamura Minor, and they were all very good-looking.

However, although this kind of band combination is rare, it does exist...

Akiyama Mio found a reason for Nakamura Mine, who had a good impression on her so far.

"Okay, now that we all know each other, Tianzhong, Akiyama, we will get to work first. You can walk around or wait in the lounge. The first band will start in half an hour. By the way, who is the first band today?" Nakamura Mine asked the people who were finishing the band.

"'Giant squid'." Yamada Ryo answered Nakamura Mine's question. Although she was always thinking about how to be efficient and lazy when working part-time like Nakamura Mine, she still paid attention to some performing bands that she felt were good.

"It's them. It seems like you two are lucky today. Their band is very talented." Nakamura Mine has been working at Fanxing for some time and has become familiar with several bands that often perform in the store, including "Giant Squid", a five-member heavy metal band consisting of a drummer, a bassist, a lead singer and two guitarists.

However, the band recently wanted to add a lot of synthesizer sound effects to their latest original song, but they couldn't find any suitable candidate. After they learned that Nakamura Mine was a keyboardist, they invited him several times to be the temporary keyboardist, but Nakamura Mine had neither the time nor the energy. Others don't know but he knows that he will have to run between "Ending Band" and "After School TEA TIME", and it would be a bit difficult for him to add another person.

Moreover, it might be a bit rude to judge other people's sexual orientation so casually, but he always felt that the lead singer of "Giant Squid" looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, as if he was looking at some delicious prey, which made him feel a little chilly.

"Thank you so much for the compliment." A magnetic voice suddenly came from behind Nakamura Mine, and Nakamura Mine's body suddenly stiffened. He walked forward a few steps, hid behind the band members, then turned around and looked at the person who came over vigilantly.

"Don't be so shy, Feng-kun. Look, we are already so familiar with each other." The person who came was none other than the protagonist of the previous topic, the leader and lead singer of "Giant Squid". He was a man over 1.80 meters tall with dyed red hair, and was a bit handsome. His name was Daisuke Okita.

"Hmph, I won't agree to your request." Although Nakamura Mine's words were very confident, he looked a little embarrassed hiding behind the girl.

"Oh~ It's a pity indeed, but we have found a suitable keyboard player." Okita Daisuke shrugged regretfully, but his eyes were always looking at the handsome and elegant face of Nakamura Mine, his eyes full of admiration.

Being stared at so directly by his own sex, Nakamura Mine felt goosebumps all over his body.

There is definitely something wrong with this person!

Nakamura Mine became more and more certain of his guess.

"Haha~ Feng-kun is still so cute even when he's scared. See you on the stage later." Okita Daisuke left after giving him a meaningful look.

"You're very popular~" Ijichi Hongxia showed a playful smile.

"Pfft~ They are of the same sex though." Yamada Ryo sneered.

"It's not your turn to say that!" Nakamura Mine looked at Yamada Ryo viciously. Doesn't the other party also have a die-hard fan named Kita who wants to be her daughter?

"It's really rock and roll..." Tianzhong Ritsu exclaimed in amazement, while Akiyama Mio lowered her head shyly.

"Don't explain everything with rock and roll!"

The performance of "Giant Squid" began soon, and this time a new keyboard player also came on stage. Although they made many new attempts in the new songs because of the addition of effects, the overall style was still very strong and passionate.

Although Nakamura Mine felt uneasy about the opponent of this band, he had to admit that the other party was indeed a very talented band. They were quite famous in the Shimokitazawa area and it was said that they had won many places in some competitions.

Chapter 97 The First Time

Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama got great seats in the front row because they came in very early. It was their first time to watch a band live at such a close distance. Although the waves of sound made them feel a little uncomfortable, it could not hide the shock in their hearts at the moment.

Watching the passionate performance of the "Giant Squid" members on the stage and the cheers from the audience, both of them had a glittering look in their eyes. The live performance of the "live house" was totally incomparable to what they usually saw on TV, mobile phones and other devices. To make an inappropriate and somewhat exaggerated analogy, it was the difference between a pair of headphones worth a few hundred dollars and the Sennheiser Orpheus.

Although it was their first time, both of them were overwhelmed by the atmosphere and unconsciously followed the drum beats.

"How do you feel?" After the last performance, Nakamura Mine asked the two people who were still a little dazed while stretching his body.

"Very impressive!"

"Uh-huh!"

It was obvious that Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama had not yet recovered from the atmosphere just now, and the lingering sound of the music was probably still echoing in their minds. Seeing this, Nakamura Mine just smiled lightly. In fact, he was in almost the same state when he listened to the live performance for the first time.

"In fact, we're going to have our debut performance this weekend, so you guys should come and support us." While the two of them were still feeling anxious, Nakamura Mine quickly gave the band a big advertisement.

"Really? Come on, come on!" Tiananaka Ritsu said quickly after hearing this. Normally, they would be a little tired after listening to a two-hour live performance, but the two of them were obviously in an excited state, especially Tiananaka Ritsu, who was already imagining the scene of herself leading Akiyama Mio, Nakamura Mine and the light music club members who had not yet appeared to perform on the stage.

“Yeah!” Akiyama Mio also nodded rapidly, and it was obvious that she was also quite looking forward to it.

After getting a satisfactory answer, Nakamura Mine was obviously in a good mood. He had already made plans. When the time comes, he will pull Hirasawa Yui up and take the opportunity to let her get to know the other members of the light music club. Then, Hirasawa Yui, who is obviously curious about the guitar, will naturally join the light music club and complete the band's targets at the same time. Well, the plan is perfect.

"Hehe, if we don't perform well and the atmosphere is awkward, I'll have to ask you to be the atmosphere group..." Yamada Ryo's words came over lightly.

"Think positively!" Ijichi Hongxia patted Yamada Ryo on the back in dissatisfaction.

"I, I will try my best to liven up the atmosphere!" Goto Ichiri took out a mustache used by comedians from the last century from somewhere and put it on his face.

"Hehe... I think it's better to just play normally, Goto-san..." Kita Ikuyo looked at Goto Ichiri with some regret, as if he had made some important vow. Although she personally thought that Goto Ichiri was a very interesting person, the fact that he would occasionally suffer from sudden serious illness in crowded places really troubled her, especially recently at school, she always wanted to pull Goto Ichiri into her circle, but every time Goto Ichiri's reaction made her flustered.

However, she has recently been able to understand the various habits of creatures like Goto Ichiri, such as the fact that it likes to hide in dark and inconspicuous corners like a slug.

"No, I think you should worry about yourself first." Nakamura Mine said to Kita meaningfully. After all, compared to Goto Ichiri who just couldn't show his real ability, Kita Ikuyo, a novice who had just learned guitar, was more disturbing. Especially since he held such an important position as the lead singer. It was not easy to sing and play at the same time.

"I will try my best!" Kita Ikuyo obviously understood what Nakamura Mine meant. She certainly knew that she was the youngest one in the band, but even if it was to repay Goto Ichiri and Nakamura Mine who had been teaching her patiently, she had to work harder. The most important thing was that she didn't want to disappoint the respected senior Ryo at all. But in fact, Yamada Ryo already knew everything.

"Wow~ You can say that. It seems that Afeng is very comfortable with it." Ijichi Hongxia poked Nakamura Feng's cheek and said with a wicked smile.

"Hmph, a mere debut on stage is nothing." Nakamura Mine said this proudly, but he was actually a little panicked. He became a little stiff at the thought of many people staring at his fingers, especially after gaining superhuman vision, he became even more sensitive to other people's gazes in his peripheral vision.

"I'm totally fine with that. If anyone dares to boo I'll hit them hard on the head with my bass." As he said this, Yamada Ryo pretended to hit someone with the bass.

"There they are, the mysteriously confident duo. But if you really do this, Ryo, you'd better be careful of my sister's fist." Ijichi Hongxia waved her hand and complained.

Akiyama Mio, who was watching the band's interaction, whispered to her best friend:

“I feel like all rock musicians are people with distinct personalities.”

"Do you take yourself into account when you say this, Ms. Mio?"

"Me? I'm pretty ordinary, right..."

"You're probably the only one who thinks so." Tianzhong Ritsu looked speechlessly at his friend who had no idea about it. Akiyama Mio's shyness and the way she looks when she's timid and angry can be said to be quite unique. No, perhaps it should be classified as a cute point?

"Huh!?" Akiyama Mio didn't quite understand what her friend meant. Although Nakamura Mine had said before that she had the temperament of a bassist, she looked like an ordinary girl, right?

"Ahem, it's getting late now. Xiao Mio, Xiao Ritsu, you must be careful when you go back." Ijichi Hongxia refocused her attention on Tianzhong Ritsu and Akiyama Mio and said.

"Yes, I will."

"Thank you so much today. We feel we have benefited a lot." Akiyama Mio looked at Nakamura Mine, who brought her here, with some gratitude. She felt that she would probably visit the live house more often in the future when she had enough money.

"No need to be so serious. We are already friends, right?" Ijichi Hongxia replied with a smile. Hearing her say that, Akiyama Mio also smiled shyly.

friend......

Does this mean that I have gained two more friends without realizing it? Does this mean that I have now escaped from the lonely corner and am about to enter the ranks of the modern people?

Goto Ichiri felt that she was doing it again and couldn't help but let out a low laugh, which made Akiyama Mio and Tiananaka Ritsu look at her with strange eyes.

Chapter 98: Wei's Intention

"Yu, is it really that difficult to learn guitar?" Hirasawa Yui, who was lying on her sister's bed doing nothing, suddenly asked her sister this question.

"Eh? Sister, do you want to learn guitar?" When Ping Zeyou heard his sister's question, he immediately put down the homework in his hand and looked at his sister with curiosity and some surprise.

"Well... I always feel that it's not good to be a high school student and do nothing all day, but I'm not good at sports and I don't have anything particularly good at, right?" Hirasawa Yui rolled around on the bed holding her sister's doll, then gathered the doll in the air and said.

"There's no such thing. Sister can do it as long as she works hard." Hirasawa Yu denied Hirasawa Yui's self-denial.

"Hehe, thank you You, but there really is no club that is particularly suitable for me to join, right?" Hirasawa Wei put down the doll with a smile and grabbed the chandelier on the ceiling with both hands.

"This..." Even Hirasawa Yuya couldn't think of what club would be suitable for his sister, who always lazily lay on the floor during the holidays.

"And then what? Do you still remember Xiaofeng whom I mentioned to you before?" Ping Ze Wei turned around and lay down with his face facing his sister and asked.

"Well, it was when I was accompanying my sister to visit the school that I met Nakamura-senpai, who is now the deskmate in front and behind her. By the way, it seemed that Nakamura-senpai was carrying a guitar at that time." Hirasawa Yuya remembered the way his sister acted very familiarly and asked to borrow his guitar to take pictures when they first met.

"Yes~ And Xiaofeng is also very good at playing the piano. Today, he was chased by people from the jazz club and the classical music club and became the strongest person in the class." As she spoke, Hirasawa Yui's two little feet were still swinging in the air.

"Hey~ That's amazing." Ping Zeyou covered his open mouth in surprise.

"Yeah! But Xiaofeng finally joined a club called the Light Music Club." Hirasawa Yui said, dragging her chin.

"Oh, come to think of it, didn't Senior Nakamura say that he joined a band outside of school?" Hirasawa Yu said, recalling. She probably knew why her sister suddenly mentioned learning guitar.

"Well, I heard from Xiaofeng that qingyin means 'relaxing music', so I was thinking if even I could join in."

No, I think what Nakamura-senpai meant by "relaxed" is something that makes people relax, which is probably different from the "relaxed" that you, sister, are referring to.

Although he thought so in his heart, Ping Zeyou did not say anything to discourage his sister's enthusiasm.

"Is that why you're thinking about learning guitar?"

"Hmm...but playing the guitar isn't that simple, right? I wonder if I can join the light music section if I can use castanets." Hirasawa Yui thought about this question seriously.

"I don't think it should be possible...right?" Ping Ze You expressed her opinion somewhat reluctantly. She actually didn't know much about this kind of thing, but after all, just knowing how to play castanets was too...and she was a little worried that what her sister meant by knowing how to play castanets was just to make the castanets make sounds.

"Hmm~ Is it not possible...guitar..." Hirasawa Yui buried his head in his sister's quilt and made a troubled sound.

At the same time, in the Fanxing store, Nakamura Mine played the melody he recorded on the electronic piano on his mobile phone to the other members of the band.

Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Kouka listened first. After they finished listening, they looked at Nakamura Minoru in surprise. Then someone handed the headphones to Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo respectively, waiting quietly for the two to finish listening.

"Great." Kita Ikuyo was the first to exclaim in praise, followed by Goto Ichiri who nodded in approval.

"That's amazing, Afeng, you can really compose music!?" Yijichi Hongxia was the first to applaud. This was indeed a pleasant surprise for her.

"And it only took one night." Although Yamada Ryo's face remained expressionless, his tone could not hide his surprise. Although it was just the melody of the song, it actually didn't take much time as long as there was inspiration, but the difficulty lay in that inspiration.

"Ah... Actually, I had been thinking about it before, but I just integrated it yesterday." Nakamura Mine lied a little. After all, he didn't want to be too exaggerated.

"That's already impressive enough." Ijichi Hongxia was still generous with her praise, making Nakamura Mine feel a little embarrassed.

"Nope either."

"Genius." Yamada Ryoya praised.

"Look what you said."

"As expected of Mr. Nakamura!" Kita Ikuyo praised along with the atmosphere.

"Where, where~"

"I will finish the lyrics and arrangement in two days, and I will show them to you then." Nakamura Mine said a little proudly, and then he was greeted with applause again.

"Haha~ I feel like Afeng has become like Pochi, which is always very interesting." Yamada Ryo covered his mouth and laughed secretly, and after hearing this, Ijichi Hongxia could only force a smile.

As for Goto Ichiri, when Nakamura Minae was praised by everyone just now, she began to imagine a scene where she also composed, wrote lyrics, and arranged music by herself and then was praised by everyone. Just thinking about it made crystal liquid appear at the corners of her mouth.

"Hehe~ Hehe, this is no big deal for the genius Pochi~" Goto Ichiri didn't notice that his nonsense had been clearly heard by everyone.
