Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"By the way, her guitar skills are amazing. It would be a loss if you don't hear her once!"

The reliable little Kita gave her a thumbs up to encourage her. Now all the stages are set, waiting for Pochi to perform!

Pochi-chan, who sees herself as a comedian, listened to her flattery and invitation, and her steps were trembling as she walked up to the podium.

what to do? what to do? what to do?

Do I really have to perform in front of so many classmates? Or should I just act weird to get by with the self-introduction part?

She had even thought of the funny lines just now!

'My home is in Kanagawa, please do not disturb me unless you are sincere.'

Chapter 109 Taking the First Step

The expectant eyes of Kita in the audience were so dazzling that Pochi-chan gave up the idea of ​​being perfunctory. Since she had been studying for so long, it was time to put the social skills she had learned into practice.

There was no musical instrument around to show off her guitar skills, so Pochi-chan quickly thought of the nursery rhyme she sang to her sister yesterday.

Perhaps this level is just right for high school students.

"I'm the guitarist in the band. Since I don't have my instrument with me, I'll sing a nursery rhyme for you."

"it is good."

Under Kita's undisguised encouraging gaze, Pochi-chan mustered up her courage, treated the audience in the audience as motionless cabbages, and sang in a shy tone.

“Twinkle, twinkle…”

The level was not very high, but if a girl could sing in public on the first day, the classmates would still applaud her generously.

"Okay, Goto-san can go down now, next one."

When she walked off the stage, the sweat on her palms had not yet dissipated and her heart was beating violently. No matter what, she had broken through her own limits.

"I'm Zuoci. I've been doing hip-hop lately. Please take care of me."

The voice on the stage seemed to become distant, and what pulled her back was little Xiduo who was sitting at the table in front of her.

"Xiao Du, you've made rapid progress. I'm going to brag about you to my seniors after the course is over!"

"It's not that great, hehe, hehe."

Pochi-chan's unique, indescribable trait appeared again, and her whole body twisted in an exaggerated manner.

After school.

Pochi-chan was packing her schoolbag with a look of joy on her face.

Although she still can't be compared with a social expert like Xiao Xiduo, having someone to chat with her is already a huge improvement.

Plus, with Kita in the class, it seems like I won't be isolated this semester.

"Goto-san."

Satsuki walked up to her with his bag, a cynical smile on his pretty face.

"Ahhhhh, Satsuki-kun."

She was inherently a little afraid of this good friend of Xiao Kita, especially after she laughed and mentioned stage diving, she felt that she was completely seen through by the other party.

"Don't be so excited." The girl with short hair tilted her neck.

"I forgot to mention that your cultural performance at the cultural festival last year was really cool, and that's why I remember you."

"Eh?" She touched her head, not understanding the situation, and didn't know how to respond for a moment. Could it be that classmate Saki is a good person?

"Goodbye, and remember to come to school." After saying this, Saki walked towards the podium without any more lingering feelings.

"Xiao Du, it's time for us to go too." Kita-chan ran over and grabbed her arm.

"Everyone." As soon as Zuo Ci, who was standing on the stage, opened his mouth, he stunned everyone present.

"I have created a class group, everyone please join in!"

Xiao Xiduo: "Okay, Xiaodu, come in soon."

"Hey, can I join too?"

I stupidly watched her snatch the phone and operate it for a while, and when she returned it, she had already joined a new group chat.

Feeling the happiness of her friends and team, Pochi-chan looked at the people around her and pursed her lips slightly.

She might be able to gain some good memories in this class...

The Starry Exhibition Hall.

"What? The seniors won't come over these days?"

Ito Rin rubbed his ears and looked at the excited little Kita, confused for a moment.

Shouldn't she be happy?

Why do you look a little lost?

"Yes, when our class introduced themselves today, Liang Jiang was inspired and decided to drag Hong Xia to review. I don't know how many days it will last."

Ito Rin, who was standing at the door welcoming guests, explained.

The schedule they had discussed before would still require a few more days before they could arrange three-person shifts.

"Stimulate?"

Pochi-chan's look of not understanding is still very cute.

"Yeah." Ito Rin vividly performed for them the look of confusion she had when the teacher encouraged Liangjiang.

“‘How could I not be admitted to the University of Tokyo?’ It’s hard to imagine where she got the courage to say such a thing.”

"Senior, this is also confidence..."

In any case, Fanxing's work today will be done by the three of them. While cleaning, he heard Xiao Xiduo praising Pochi-chan's performance today, and he did not hesitate to speak out.

“Being able to integrate into the classroom environment is a very good improvement.”

“Keep up the good work and strive to achieve such results in the band’s performance.”

Pochi-chan, who was waving her hands happily, suddenly wilted. How could the atmosphere of singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star in class compare to performing in front of so many people?

"I can see it's still a little difficult." Ito Rin stood next to her.

"I'll try my best." Pochi-chan clenched her fists and put on a fighting look.

But the experienced Ito Rin could tell at a glance that she was probably just going through the motions again.

Since Hong Xia is not here, as the vice-captain, shouldn't he provide a good communication environment for Pochi-chan?

So the final part-time job arrangement was that Ito Rin was responsible for cleaning, Kita would stand in front of the door to welcome guests, and Pochi-chan would serve drinks to the guests alone.

Normally, this job was done by her in collaboration with another person, and she was mainly responsible for serving drinks.

Since we want to train her independent social skills, we can't be soft-hearted!

……

"Welcome, welcome, welcome!"

The scalding drink dripped onto her hands, but Pochi-chan was completely unaware and just greeted the customer in front of her with a slow tongue.

She had also imagined what she would do when she was in charge of the beverage machine alone. In her mind, she could perfectly solve any problem, provide satisfactory service to the guests, and send them off with a smile.

But the reality was completely the opposite. He couldn't even say the welcome words clearly, and there were several incidents of taking the wrong drinks. As for his expression, it remained stiff for a long time.

"You are the guitarist of the band Ending, right?" The girl who came to ask for a drink was surprised.

"Eh?"

"We are people who have seen your street performances. Since we knew you were playing here, we rushed over to see if there was a chance to hear it again. We didn't expect to meet you here."

"a ha ha ha."

The experience of being chased into the performance hall by fans made Pochi-chan very happy, and she almost got carried away again.

After chatting for a few minutes and informing the other party that their concerts would be held on weekends due to the start of school, the fans left satisfied.

Pochi-chan, who was alone again, was rubbing her hair. When she looked up, she saw Ito Rin standing by the wall giving her a thumbs up.

My originally uneasy heart calmed down a lot.

I really think there is no need to be so shy.

Many people also come here just to watch them finish the band's performance.

Is there anything to be afraid of in front of your fans?

"Give me a Coke."

"Aa ...

The rich fantasy was once again shattered by the cruel reality, and Pochi-chan began to prepare in a hurry again.

When her working hours were over, she held her head high and looked at them with bright eyes.

My spirit and energy are much better than before.

"It's a bit difficult to take the first step, but it seems to be working well," said Ito Rin with a smile.

"Senior~"

She covered her face and became shy again.

"It is indeed a big difference. Before, after finishing her part-time job, Pochi-chan would walk towards the station without saying a word."

The three of them walked together on the streets of Shimokitazawa. It was a busy time.

Xiao Kita also felt the huge changes in Pochi-chan during this period. Not only could she sing in front of her classmates, but she could also handle the work at hand independently.

"Since Goto-san has adapted, the future work arrangements will be set. When the time is right, Goto-san will switch positions with Kita-chan."

Ito Rin assigned tasks on her own. How could she grow if she was just in charge of the beverage counter?

The biggest challenge for children with social anxieties is to be in the reception position that directly faces the guests.

His requirements were not high. As long as Pochi-chan could sit there completely until the work was finished, that was enough.

"what!"

"Senior, this is too cruel."

Xiao Kita couldn't bear to see Pochi-chan's miserable condition, but he was also looking forward to seeing her put on the uniform.

I didn’t see enough of it at the cultural festival, maybe I’ll really have a chance to see it at Fanxing.

"Don't worry, it will take a long time, at least until Pochi-chan can handle the work of the beverage counter with ease."

"Oh."

The taciturn girl has made up her mind that her performance today has reached her limit, and there will be no improvement in the days to come!

"By the way, Senior, will Senior Liang and Senior Hong Xia come over on weekends from now on?"

The intention behind Kita's question is suspicious, and Ito Rin pretends to be in the dark about her little thoughts.

"For now, the deadline will depend on when Liang-chan gets tired of studying, based on what I know about her."

Ito Rin looked directly at Kita: "This deadline should be coming soon."

All I can say is that the person who knows you best may be your enemy or your significant other.

As Liangjiang's complete other half and potential enemy, Ito Rin is a master in this regard.

When Xiao Kita was already getting ready to take action and was about to go out to deal with his predecessor, the two tall figures descended again among the loyal stars.

"Qiang Qiang!"

"We are back again!"

Ito Rin yawned out of boredom. This level of sudden attack made him not even think about getting excited.

However, if Liangjiang really intends to get into the University of Tokyo by slacking off in this state, it would be better for her to give up early so that she can fully enjoy her last band time in high school with them.

But if we do this, wouldn't Hongxia be the only one left who has to work hard for further studies?

Recalling the strange thing, Ito Rin looked at Liangjiang with something strange in her eyes.
