"Oh~"
"oh oh……"
"Really? You guys should cooperate with me a little more. It seems like I'm too excited!"
"It's okay. Hong Xia is that kind of character."
"I'll beat you up!"
Chapter 24: STARRY
"We're here. This is 'Stars'."
The main theme is dark, and the interior decoration has a rock-punk style at first glance. There are many guys who look very unique gathered here.
Not to mention Goto Ichiri, Nakamura Mine was actually visiting this place for the first time. He knew that he couldn't lose in terms of momentum no matter what, so he tried to act calm, even though he was only fifteen years old and didn't have much momentum.
"Hey, don't you think that kid is cute?"
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to his future growth."
"Oh? Why, you want to eat young grass?"
"Go to hell!"
Faced with the occasional glances and whispers, Nakamura Mine felt uncomfortable and adjusted his collar a little unconfidently. Although he couldn't hear clearly what those people were saying, he thought it should be something like "You little brat! How can you come to a place like this?! Go home and drink your milk!"
"Come to think of it, it seems a little late to ask now, but could Mine-kun and Ichiri-chan still be in junior high school?" Ijichi Kouka seemed to notice Nakamura Mine's nervousness, so she took the initiative to find a topic to lighten the atmosphere.
"Well, Ichiri and I are both in the third year of junior high school." Nakamura Mine answered honestly.
"Isn't that a test taker? Is that okay?" Ijichi Hongxia didn't expect that someone would be in the mood to come to Shimokitazawa to find a band to join when they were about to take the high school entrance exam. It seemed that the rehearsal that was originally planned to be arranged immediately would have to be postponed again.
"Hmm, could it be that Mine-kun and Ichiri-chan are actually top students? The kind that don't have to worry about exams at all?" Ijichi Kouka expressed her guess with the look of a detective solving a case.
"No, if we were to say our results were good or bad, they would be on the bad side."
"It's a shame that you still have the mood to come here to play." Yidi Chi Hongxia was speechless.
"But in this case, Hongxia, you are a high school student?"
"Well, Liang and I are both freshmen in Xiagao High School. But you don't have to call me senior or anything like that. It would seem too distant since we're in the same band." Ijichi Hongxia reminded. It was indeed strange that bandmates would make such a clear distinction between seniors and juniors when they were in a band together.
"Don't worry, I never planned to do that."
"Really? That's good. By the way, aren't there two people missing from the beginning?"
"Yeah, over there." Nakamura Mine pointed at Yamada Ryo who was squatting next to a trash can in the corner. He had noticed the movements of the two people a long time ago, but just didn't say it out loud.
"What are you doing?" Ijichi Kouka and Nakamura Mine came behind Yamada Ryo and looked at Yamada Ryo who was squatting quietly on the side and Goto Ichiri who was hiding in the trash can with only his hands exposed and playing the guitar.
How did it become like this?!
"Nijiga, Bochi-chan plays the piano really well." Yamada Ryo clapped his hands a little and said to Ijichi Nijiga.
"No, this news is indeed good news, but can you please get out of the trash can first, huh? What did you say just now? Little Pochi?" Hongxia said this before realizing that something seemed to be wrong. Was Little Pochi talking about Goto Ichiri?
"Well, Ichiri, Du, lonely, so it's Pochi. (They are all homophones)" Yamada Ryo narrated the source of his inspiration with a little pride on his face.
"Hey, hey, you're just being given a weird nickname, and it's really rude!" Ijichi Hongxia tapped Yamada Ryo on the head.
"Really? But Pochi seems to like it very much." Yamada Ryo retorted.
"That's so..."
"Hehe, this is the first time someone has given me a nickname. Hehe, I'm Goto-chan." Goto Ichiri let out a rather perverted laugh.
Ah, I really look very happy. By the way, why would someone add their last name before their nickname?
"Since Pochi-chan likes it, then let's do it. By the way, Mine-kun, do you want to come up with a nickname to introduce yourself to the audience? Or should we just stick with the original name?" Ijichi Nichina seemed eager to try. Since Ryo was the one who came up with Pochi-chan's nickname, then she should be the one to give Nakamura Mine's.
"I don't care. It's just a name. You can call me whatever you want." Nakamura Mine said indifferently. He really didn't care about this.
"Hmm..." Ijichi Hongxia fell into deep thought, and then as if a flash of inspiration came to her, she pounded her left hand and said:
"How about calling him A-Feng? He sounds like a member of a band, right?"
"Yeah, not bad." Yamada Ryo expressed his approval.
"Afeng... is kind of cool..." Goto Ichiri was a little envious. She felt that Nakamura Feng's nickname was much cooler than her own.
No, it's not cool at all, it's more like a little bit rustic, right?
Although he thought so, Nakamura Mine really didn't care about it, so he didn't think of rejecting it and just let them call him whatever they wanted.
"What are you doing?" A cold voice suddenly appeared, scaring everyone.
"Really, sister, don't scare me so suddenly!" Yidi Chi Hongxia patted her chest and said with some fear.
"Stop talking nonsense. What are you doing? Who are these two?" The person who can be called sister by Yichi Hongxia is naturally the owner of this exhibition hall, Yichi Xingge.
"Ah, it's all my sister's fault. Look, little Pochi doesn't even dare to show his head."
Ijichi Nichina pointed at Goto Ichiri, who had originally exposed his face but now had completely retracted it, and blamed him.
"Huh? What do you mean? Who is this and why is he staying in the trash can?" Yijichi Xingge scratched his head as if he didn't understand the situation.
"This is the new guitarist our band has recruited, Ichiri Goto, and the one next to him is the keyboard player, Mine Nakamura." Ijichi Hinikaka introduced the two to her sister.
"Thank you for your guidance, Hongxia's sister." Nakamura Mine greeted.
"Please, please give me your advice!" Goto Ichiri also said in the trash can.
After hearing Nakamura Mine calling Nijika's name directly, Ijichi Hoshika's eyes twitched noticeably, and her expression was clearly a little unhappy.
"You are a keyboard player? You are not the kind of kid who thinks he is a genius just because he has learned a little bit of knowledge?" Ijichi Xingge said with narrowed eyes.
"Sister!" Ijichi Hongxia felt that her sister had gone a bit too far so she hurried to stop her, while Yamada Ryo watched with great interest from the side.
"I have been learning piano since I was a child. Although I have never touched a keyboard, I don't think it should be a big problem," said Nakamura Mine.
Chapter 25: Bad Performance
After hearing Nakamura Mine say that he had been practicing the piano since he was a child, Ijichi Seika no longer doubted his ability. After all, for people who can play the piano, keyboards and other things are not difficult at all. However, Ijichi Seika was still a little unhappy. Her sister wanted to recruit band members, but why did she bring a man, and a stranger at that? Who knows if this guy has good intentions or not.
What if the sister whom I have raised for so long is kidnapped by someone with ulterior motives?
No, we need to investigate thoroughly!
"You kid, do you have a girlfriend?" Yidizhi Xingge asked with his arms folded across his chest. This kid has a good appearance and can play the piano. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be quite popular with girls. It is reasonable for him to have a girlfriend. And if he can decisively admit that he has a girlfriend, it should not be for his own sister. But if not, then he will continue to be listed as a key suspect.
Although she doesn't intend to interfere with her sister's recruitment of members, it's okay for her as an older sister to give her some supervision, right?
However, Ijichi Hoshige didn't notice that her words made the atmosphere slightly weird.
What does this lady want? Why is she asking me if I have a girlfriend? My goodness, is this person a super younger person? This point was not mentioned in the simulation!
"Well... I personally prefer people who are not too far behind in age..." Nakamura Mine said tactfully.
"Huh? What does this have to do with my question? Wait, you little brat!" Yidizhi Xingge didn't realize anything at first. She just felt that this boy didn't answer her question at all. But when she carefully thought about the conversation between her and the other party just now, she suddenly realized that she was being teased by this boy, and it seemed that she was rejected.
This kid is definitely dangerous! This comes from the experience and intuition of an elder.
Ijichi Hoshika subconsciously wanted to give Nakamura Mine a righteous chokehold, but since she and Nakamura Mine were not actually familiar with each other, she had to give up, but she still had to give him a verbal warning.
"If you dare to say such frivolous words again, I will forbid you from entering our Stars."
"Sister!" After hearing her sister's words, Ijichi Kouka, who was watching the fun, could no longer sit still. You know, Nakamura Mine was the keyboard player she had finally found. If he was really turned away by her sister, then she would have no place to complain. After all, they had no money to rent a room for rehearsal.
"Hmph!" Ijichi Hoshika didn't give Nakamura Mine a chance to explain or Ijichi Kouka a chance to argue, and just turned around and walked away.
"I'm sorry, Feng, my sister is just like that. Although she said that, she won't chase you away in the end. My sister is the kind of person who is arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and a little bit spoiled." Ijichi Hongxia complained about her sister's troublesome personality, and at the same time led Nakamura Feng and Goto Ichiri, who had been taken out by Nakamura Feng, to the rehearsal room.
"This is a rare opportunity, let's play a simple song together first." Ijichi Hongxia suggested.
Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri naturally had no problem with this, and Ijichi Kouka was even considerate enough to take out Fanxing's spare electronic piano.
The moment he touched the electronic keyboard, Nakamura Mine felt a sense of familiarity that did not belong to him surge into his heart. He knew that this was the feeling brought by the LV3 piano skill. The LV3 level was actually not too high, it just meant that he was already quite proficient in this skill. However, if coupled with Nakamura Mine's "nimble hands", the effect of the performance would be even better.
The song is over.
Ijichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo looked at each other and nodded, then Ijichi Hongxia held up the drumsticks with an incredible look on her face.
"What a terrible performance! Especially on the guitar."
Goto Ichiri was devastated by these words, and she herself had never expected such a result. She should have played well. She had even begun to imagine the surprised and admiring looks of Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo, but the final result was beyond her expectations. Her number of fans had obviously exceeded 30,000, and many people praised her for her professional level, but why?
In fact, the evaluation of Ijichi Kouka was already relatively mild. If Nakamura Mine were to say it, this performance could only be described as a mess. The problem with Goto Ichiri was obvious. She had excellent personal skills, but she had no cooperation at all. As a guitarist, she completely ignored the rhythm and instructions of the drummer and just concentrated on playing the music by herself. However, the guitar is not a bass, and her lack of cooperation completely destroyed the harmony of the entire band.
As for Nakamura Mine, his words were quite standard and he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but it was obvious that he wasn't proficient enough and couldn't be called excellent in any aspect. There was nothing that could be done about it. Although he had level 3 piano skills, it was his first time touching a piano and it would take a while for him to become proficient.
"Bochi-chan played very well in his solo just now. Is this his first time playing with a band?" Since Yamada Ryo had just witnessed Goto Ichiri's technical level, he could roughly guess where Goto Ichiri's problem lies.
"Oh, yes." Goto Ichiri quickly understood her problem, but she had always played the guitar alone and had no experience playing in a band. There was no other way to make up for it except to practice constantly.
"As for Afeng, it should be because it's his first time using an electronic keyboard. Is he not used to it?" Ijichi Hongxia also put forward her own guess. Just now, Nakamura Feng had mentioned it when he was talking to her sister. That is, he had never touched a keyboard before, so Nakamura Feng's playing just now was always hesitant and unconfident.
"Well, the keys are too light and it feels weird." Nakamura Mine lied casually. He himself had never touched a piano, so there was no such thing as suddenly changing the instrument and not being able to adapt to it. However, the other three did not pursue his words too much.
"I'm very sorry, I will come to practice more often," Goto Ichiri said with effort.
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. Anyway, we don't even have a lead singer right now, and there are no performances scheduled, so there's no need to rush. Besides, aren't you all going to take the high school entrance exam soon? You should focus on studying now! Right, Ryo?"
"Well, it's very important to sharpen your skills before the exam." Yamada Ryo said seriously.
"By the way, I might as well ask just in case. Does either of you want to be the lead singer?"
Chapter 26 The third simulation begins
Hearing Ijichi Kouka's question, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri both shook their heads desperately. Needless to say, Goto Ichiri couldn't even speak clearly in front of strangers, let alone sing. As for Nakamura Mine, he felt that he should not torture the audience before drawing the singing skill.
"Um, can't Ms. Liang be the lead singer?" Goto Ichiri asked weakly.
Hearing her question, Yamada Ryo suddenly became excited. She pretended to wipe away tears pitifully, and then said:
"If I were the lead singer, I would steal all the limelight and the band would disband."
"Hey, where does this mysterious confidence of yours come from?" Ijichi Hongxia complained.
I'm so envious, I really want her to share some of her confidence with me. Goto Ichiri was a little envious of Yamada Ryo who could say such a thing.
"Anyway, that's it. Since there's no lead singer anyway, you should just concentrate on preparing for the exam. By the way, let's change our contact information and then create a group chat." Yijichi Hongxia suggested, and naturally no one had any objections.
"Then today we will first..."
"that……"
Ijichi Kouka was about to say something to disband, but was interrupted by Goto Ichiri's weak voice.
"That's it, little Pochi."
"Like, what is the name of our band anyway?"
After hearing what Goto Ichiri said, everyone realized that they had been talking about the most crucial band name for a long time and had not yet said it.
"End, end the band..." Ijichi Hongxia said somewhat unconfidently.
"End, bond, unity? (homonymous)"
"Puuuuu~ What a masterpiece." Yamada Ryo couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah! I must change this name!" Ijichi Hongxia said in a collapsed state because she felt a little embarrassed, but it was obvious that the name would not be changed.
"Why, isn't it cute? Right?" Yamada Ryo said heartlessly, and asked Goto Ichiri at the same time.
"Ah, yes."
"Anyway! Today's band party ends here. If there is anything happening later, I will notify you in the group. Also, Afeng, Xiao Boqi, if you have a suitable candidate for lead singer and preferably someone who can play guitar, remember to introduce them to us." Yidi Chi Hongxia did not forget to remind.
On the subway on the way home, Goto Ichiri seemed to be burned out, and his whole body turned gray. Nakamura Mine did not disturb him too much, because he knew that Goto Ichiri had worked very hard today.
[Simulation begins. 】
[The person being simulated is Goto Ichiri. ]
Nakamura Mine chose to start the third simulation, and the object of simulation was still Goto Ichiri. Although there were three more people who could be simulated, he still wanted to complete the Goto Ichiri line first before talking about other things. As for who the newly added simulation objects were, there was no need to say it.
Ichichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo, and Ichichi Hoshika, the store manager of "Fanxing" who is a dozen years older than him.
Nakamura Mine had to complain about the bad taste of this system. People whose age difference is twice as big as others can become simulation objects. Does it mean that as long as they are pretty, they can be simulation objects?
He didn't quite understand the requirements of being a simulation object, but since he didn't understand it, he just ignored it.
