Chapter 161 Who is it?

Nakamura Mine was not in the mood, so he just played a pop song casually. It was not a song that required high technical skills to play, but Nakamura Mine's skillful fingering was enough to surprise Nakano Azusa.

She didn't know how many times she had doubts, wondering if the boy in front of her was really only one year older than her.

She has been practicing guitar since elementary school. Although she has never been embarrassed to admit it, she has always believed that she is quite good at playing the guitar. However, she does not have the confidence to play as smoothly as Nakamura Minae. It is not a technical gap, but her hands are unable to make such natural and smooth movements as the other.

"sharp......"

Nakano Azusa commented somewhat dejectedly. The words he had prepared long ago to ask his teacher to mend his ways were now completely useless. What he had tried so hard to accomplish was easily accomplished by others. This made Nakano Azusa both unwilling and disappointed.

(This is probably the difference in talent.)

"Ahem~ Actually, I also put in a lot of effort to be able to achieve what I have now. No, whether it is guitar or piano, I spend a lot of time practicing every day. Well, it's very hard work. Ah~ This is what they call hard work pays off, haha~ ha..."

Nakamura Mine himself felt that he was a bit shameless. After seeing Nakano Azusa's pitiful expression, like a kitten whose food was taken away, how could he not realize that the other party was hit by him? In fact, he just wanted to behave like a beginner, but once it went smoothly in his hand, it seemed like it had its own consciousness and was not under his control.

So now she can only tell some lies to prevent her student from being too discouraged, and to let her know that her teacher has also worked harder than her peers to achieve the current results, even though this is not actually the case.

(Forgive me, Azusa, this is a white lie.)

"That's true. I understand. I was just thinking that no matter how hard I try, I may not be able to compare to the casual practice of someone like you. It turns out that I was wrong. I will practice even harder!"

It was obvious that Nakano Azusa was a good kid who listened to advice. As soon as Nakamura Mine finished speaking, she looked full of fighting spirit. Her energetic eyes made Nakamura Mine couldn't help but avoid her gaze.

"Well~ you should focus most of your attention on studying now. After all, you are a candidate. You can put the practice of musical instruments aside for now." Nakamura Mine really thought that Nakano Azusa would focus on musical instruments as soon as he heard what he said. If his grades dropped, his part-time job would be lost.

"Okay! I'll arrange my time!" Nakano Azusa is full of energy. People like her will not slack off easily as long as they have a definite goal. Her current goal is this teacher who has benefited her a lot from just two classes.

However, Nakamura Mine simply couldn't stand the admiring look of the girl. Well, it was mainly because he felt guilty.

"Well, if there's nothing else, I'll just..." Nakamura Mine wanted to slip away quickly. He felt that he was dwarfed by the girl's increasingly radiant eyes.

(Ah, it’s great to be young. It’s so bad to be old.)

(If Ichiri was here, he would have been stabbed in both eyes.)

After hastily escaping from the Nakano family, Nakamura Mine saw that it was almost time, so he stopped wandering around and went directly towards the direction of Fanxing. He was still thinking about what kind of gesture he should use to greet everyone. After all, he hadn't seen everyone for nearly two months, so he still needed some sense of ritual.

(Hmm…should I spray some water in my eyes and then hug everyone? Well, forget it. I might get killed by the store manager.)

Before he could come up with a conclusion, he arrived at the door of the stars.

"Hey! How's everyone's spirits!?" From the entrance, Nakamura Mine walked in quickly and saw that in the hall there were not only other people who had just finished the band, but also the store manager and the PA lady.

Nakamura Mine's movement naturally attracted everyone's attention, but what was completely beyond his expectation was that everyone did not react at all after looking at him. They were still doing what they were doing. Even Goto Ichiri just lowered his head and wiped the table with no intention of paying any attention.

"Eh? What's your reaction? No, it should be said that you guys should give some reaction!" Seeing everyone's reactions, Nakamura was somewhat panicked.

(What, what happened?)

The first person to answer him was Ichichi Hongxia, and her words petrified him.

"Dear guest, it is not yet business hours, please do not come in without permission."

If this was said by Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Hoshika, Nakamura Mine might not feel anything. The key point is that the person who said this was Ijichi Kouka, who is always gentle and considerate, and she even said it with the same cold eyes as her sister, which was a critical blow.

Nakamura Mine leaned against the wall and covered his chest with a hurt expression.

Click~

The sound of a cell phone filming was heard. Nakamura Mine looked over and saw Yamada Ryo holding the cell phone with her head down. The trembling of her shoulders proved that she was laughing secretly at the moment.

"Ah~ I didn't expect things to develop just as Liang said." The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Ijichi Hongxia also regained her usual gentle and energetic appearance, and said with some emotion.

"Senior Hongxia's expression just now was really scary. I felt nervous just now." Kita Ikuyo also expressed her feelings.

"Become like a store manager." Goto Ichiri expressed his thoughts.

"Hey, what do you mean by that, Pochi?" Ijichi Hoshika's face turned dark, and Goto Ichiri was so scared that he quickly bowed and apologized.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry!”

"No, there's no need to apologize!"

"Haha, remember to send me a copy of the photos later." PA came up to Yamada Ryo and said with a smile.

"Yama! Tadashi! Ryo!!!"

After seeing their conversation, Nakamura Mine could no longer not know that he had been brushed off, and it was also obvious who the mastermind was.

"You're wrong this time! Afeng." Ijichi Hongxia stood in front of Yamada Ryo and said reproachfully.

"Uh, Hong, Hongxia." Nakamura Mine's momentum collapsed in an instant. This was probably due to the pressure from the captain.

From then on until the business opened, Nakamura Mine was being educated by Hongxia's mother like a child, with two bassists watching and taking pictures beside him.

Chapter 162: Testing

"Huh? What just now..." Putting down the drumsticks in his hand, Ijichi Hongxia looked at the others in disbelief, as if he was confirming something.

"It's obviously much better than before." Yamada Ryo confirmed what Ijichi Kouka was thinking.

"What's going on? What's going on? The number of practice sessions and the number of participants have decreased recently, so why have everyone improved so much?!"

After the business was closed, everyone performed in the practice room under the leadership of Ijichi Kouka. Her original intention was to let everyone find the feeling again, but the result was very different from what they imagined. It was not too bad, but too good.

It's obvious that Nakamura Minae has been missing from practice recently, and Goto Ichiri also goes out alone and no one knows what he's doing. Last time, he was unconscious and was sent back by Hiroi Kikuri. Kita Ikuyo also has to trouble Yamada Ryo to teach guitar because of the lack of two teachers. She seems to be enjoying it, but sometimes she's so focused on enjoying it that she has no intention of practicing at all, which is quite disturbing.

As a result, the first ensemble after all the members returned was much better than ever before. There is no need to say much about Nakamura Mine, his skills were already very good, and now it seems that he is cooperating very well with Ijichi Kouka on drums and Yamada Ryo on bass, as if they had practiced together many times. By the way, Yamada Ryo's bass seems to have improved as well.

Kita Ikuyo's guitar playing finally became passable, and even Goto Ichiri didn't seem as nervous as before when playing, and he was even able to open his eyes!

As the team captain, Ijichi Hongxia felt happy but also confused, and even had a sense of urgency. She had also practiced a lot privately these days, but the results were not significant.

"Ichiri, have you done any special training? You've made great progress." Nakamura Mine speculated as he looked at Goto Ichiri, who looked very happy because of his good performance. Indeed, even he could feel the other party's obvious progress.

"Well, I asked Sister Sake and Kikuri to take me to the street to perform, so now I'm not so scared anymore." Goto Ichiri seemed very happy because she was praised, but she still answered the question seriously. However, she finally raised her eyes secretly and looked at Nakamura Mine. Others might not have noticed it, but she noticed the way Nakamura Mine addressed her just now. Ever since she got the nickname Pochi that suited her, Nakamura Mine never called her by her name directly again.

(It seems like in a dream...)

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but think of the clear and long dream before, in which Nakamura Mine seemed to call her that.

She shook her head and threw this ridiculous idea out of her mind. It was simply unrealistic. Even she could not distinguish between dreams and reality. What's more, a name did not mean anything. Nakamura Minemoto called her that before.

"Huh? So she really took you out for serious business before?" Ijichi Hongxia was surprised. You know, when Hiroi Kikuri brought back the unconscious Goto Ichiri, she was scolded by her and her sister. It seems that she really misunderstood her last time.

Thinking of this, Ijichi Hongxia felt somewhat apologetic, but when she saw her sister who was responsible for the main output looked indifferent, she felt that there was nothing to care about. After all, that person should have been used to being scolded a long time ago, right?

"Street performance..."

Nakamura Mine also thought of the days when he and Yamada Ryo and others performed on the street in the simulation. Although it was not long ago, he already missed it a little.

"Feng, are you very interested in street playing?" Yamada Ryo's sudden words attracted everyone's attention. The main problem was the way she addressed Nakamura Feng. In fact, other people had noticed the way Nakamura Feng addressed Goto Ichiri just now, but Nakamura Feng and Goto Ichiri had a very good relationship, so it was not surprising that Nakamura Feng addressed Goto Ichiri like that.

However, this was the first time that Yamada Ryo called Nakamura Mine like this, and the one who reacted the most was Kita Ikuyo. She looked back and forth between Nakamura, whom she felt was a little powerful, and her most beloved Ryo senior, as if she wanted to see through both of them completely.

Although Ijichi Hongxia's reaction was not so big, there was also a gossipy look on her face, and she seemed to be quite interested in this.

Goto Ichiri still had his head down, but no one knew what he was thinking.

"It's great to be young, isn't it, Manager?"

"cut."

Miss PA watched the show with great interest, and did not forget to ask Ijichi Hoshika to express her opinion. However, the latter was completely dismissive. In her opinion, as long as the boy did not attack her sister, it was none of her business. However, if that brat Nakamura Mine really dared to attack her sister one day, she felt that she could still afford some of the medical expenses.

"No, that's not the case. I just thought that many bands rely on street performances to increase their popularity. Maybe we can give it a try in the future." Nakamura Mine naturally noticed the change in the way Yamada Ryo addressed him. It would be better to say that he was the one who thought about it the most. He didn't mind being called by his name. After all, the bassist of the light music club also called him that.

It was just that this sudden address and the street performance that Yamada Ryo just emphasized made him think of the simulation, but this thought was only fleeting. In any case, the previous simulations had nothing to do with reality, so the probability that Yamada Ryo just deliberately tested it was still low in Nakamura Mine's opinion.

But did Yamada Ryo do that on purpose? She was just testing him on purpose. Unlike Goto Ichiri, who really just had a dream, Yamada Ryo found out the first thing she did when she woke up was that the pick she gave to Nakamura Minoru in her dream was gone. She was not the kind of person who liked to throw things around. Yamada Ryo was sure that she had put it in the drawer, but it disappeared out of thin air.

She wondered if it was her parents who took it away, but after thinking for a long time she couldn't think of any reason why they would do that. Plus, Nakamura Mine had a nostalgic expression on his face when he talked about playing music on the street, so she couldn't help but try it out.

The result was a bit disappointing for her. She had been staring at Nakamura Mine's expression, but apart from a brief pause when he first heard her address him, there was no other expression that looked wrong.

(Am I really overthinking?)

Chapter 163?

"Yeah, that's a good idea. But before that, we should first get past our sister." Ijichi Hongxia said after seeing her sister and the PA lady leave the practice room.

"I wonder what the store manager thought when he saw our performance just now?" Kita Ikuyo recalled the expression of Ijichi Hoshika just now. At least she didn't look disappointed in her memory.

"Practice for a while and then I'll ask my sister for help. We will definitely pass this time, oh~!" Ijichi Hongxia encouraged, raising her right hand high, and the others followed suit.

"Oh oh!!" Kita Ikuyo echoed with a youthful air.

"Oh~" Yamada Ryo shouted perfunctorily.

"Oh." Nakamura Mine felt embarrassed if he didn't shout out, so he had to follow.

"Oh..." Goto Ichiri's voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"There's such a lack of tacit understanding, isn't it?!" Ijichi Hongxia looked at the members of her band who had different personalities. Although it's good like this, it's really difficult to lead them sometimes. Fortunately, there is still a normal little Kita.

"Ah, can I take a picture? I want to post it on my social media." As she said that, Kita Ikuyo took out her cell phone. She had only posted two updates today, which was completely below her target.

Ichichi Hongxia felt even more tired.

"I say, why not just create a band account? Other bands do that, right? They can post videos and stuff." Nakamura Mine suddenly thought of this. In fact, he also created an N station account himself, but he never posted any works.

"This is a good idea. I'll ask my friends to like it then." Kita Ikuyo seemed very interested in this.

"Everyone will get 20% of the money earned from the video. Of course, if any of you don't need it, you can give it to me to share." Yamada Ryo's eyes turned into the shape of Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Hehe, there's no need to rush about these. In fact, I've always felt that our current band feel is totally lacking, so I'll try to make peripheral products first!" Hong Xia raised her wrist and showed the red strap.

"I see you are the most anxious one, right?" Nakamura Mine said speechlessly as he looked at the small box of bandages that Ijichi Kouka brought up from under the table.

"Hehe~"

"It's just a bandage tied around your hand, right?" Kita Ikuyo originally thought it was something more powerful, such as a T-shirt with Senior Ryo's portrait printed on it, but probably no one would want that kind of thing except her.

"Well, it's cute, right? And there are so many colors."

"If you sell it as a peripheral product, it will be 500 yen each. If you sign your name on it, it will be 650 yen." As he said this, Yamada Ryo took out a marker and signed his name on it.

(So ​​expensive!)

(They are just bandits.)

Just as Goto Ichiri and Nakamura Mine were lamenting Yamada Ryo's exorbitant price, Kita Ikuyo had already taken out 650 yen and put it in front of Yamada Ryo.

"It's so cheap! I'll buy it!"

Seeing that Yamada Ryo seemed to really want to accept it, Ichichi Hongxia quickly glared at her as a warning.

"Feng, do you want to have one? I'll give it to you at a cheaper price." Yamada Ryo turned his attention to Nakamura Feng again.

"I don't need that kind of thing. By the way, don't take these as your own property so naturally." Nakamura Mine said with a look of disgust.

"By the way, how did you know that I was back?" Nakamura Mine suddenly thought of this question.

"Pochi told us." Yamada Ryo sold Goto Ichiri without any psychological burden.

"Ah?! Well, my mom told me." Goto Ichiri said in a panic, looking like he was afraid that he had done something wrong.

"Oh, I see." Nakamura Mine actually guessed that this should be the case, after all, he had been to Goto's house before.

After chatting for a while, Nakamura Mine was driven out of Fanxing with Goto Ichiri. Although there was some beef between them before, it seemed that the boss of Xingge was particularly dissatisfied with him today. Of course, there was nothing that could be done about it. Any boss would not have a good attitude if an employee was absent for so many days without reason.

On the way home, Goto Ichiri talked a lot, which was unusual for him, while Nakamura Mine seemed unusually silent the whole way, as if the two people had swapped roles.

The reason for this result was all due to what Goto Ichiri said. She told Nakamura Minato a story about a strange dream she had just had. The protagonists of the story were the two of them. It was not a very long or exciting story, but Goto Ichiri told it with relish, as if she liked the dream she had very much.

But it sounded completely different to Nakamura Mine.

(This, this, this isn’t it? This isn’t it!?)

The content of the dream that Goto Ichiri described is exactly what happened in Nakamura Mine's simulation of Goto Ichiri's past, but it is told from Goto Ichiri's perspective.

However, if he only knew that the content of the past simulation would be conveyed to the simulated object in the form of a dream, Nakamura Mine had not completely thought about this possibility. It was just that based on previous experience, he felt that this should not happen, but it did happen.
