Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

No matter how many times you talk about the concept of time, Liangjiang will forget it completely.

"Wait half an hour?" Ito Rin waved at Pochi-chan who was walking over.

Soon, everyone except Liang arrived. He called again, but still no one answered.

When the time was up, a few people decided not to wait any longer and put the instruments into the car.

She only sent the message when she was halfway there.

"Sorry, just woke up."

But the tone was so light that I couldn't hear any apology in it.

"Really? You're still doing your own thing on such an important day. We've already set off, you figure it out yourself!" Hong Xia hung up the phone angrily.

Everyone has a deep impression of Liang's unreliability, but they believe that she will definitely be able to arrive at the venue.

Xiao Kita, who was sitting in the back, was looking through the news about the competition. He touched Pochi-chan's shoulder and said, "Look, it's Hiroi-san. Their band has been selected as the opening performance band for the review process."

"Can we leave such an important matter to her?" Hong Xia was very worried.

"No matter how much you love alcohol, you wouldn't mess up in a place where you can make money." Ito Rin thought with an adult's mindset.

"uncertain……"

No one can be sure before actually seeing Sister Hiroi's condition today, but in addition to these familiar people, there are also special guests arriving.

Pochi's parents and sister had already met them a while ago. Fan No. 1 and Fan No. 2 also arrived in Shinjuku in advance. Many members of the Shimokitazawa High School Wind Orchestra also arrived to cheer for them.

Although he felt that it was inappropriate to make such a big fuss before the final game, he really couldn't resist such enthusiasm.

In front of the review location.

"Hello, good morning, everyone."

Liang, who started later than them but arrived earlier than them, squatted by the wall and greeted them when he saw them.

"Hey, hey, hey, stop pretending to be punctual!"

Ito Rin, who was carrying a musical instrument, was sweating profusely. Seeing her leisurely look, I wanted to pinch her face and pull her under the sun to bask in it.

"I'm so tired. The traffic jam here is so serious. I have already handed in the car, but I still have to walk the last section by myself." Hong Xia pounded his shoulders and stared at Yamada Ryo with murderous eyes.

"You are so slow. The registration time is almost up." Yamada Ryo stood up, patted his butt and walked in.

Hong Xia was about to get angry but she held back. She couldn't let her personal emotions affect the band.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw an acquaintance running past them in a hurry. Probably because he saw them, he stopped and greeted them.

"Ah~ Little End Band, long time no see."

The boss, Ginjiro Yoshida, who looks fierce but has a soft personality, had his eyes brighten up when he spoke.

After all, he is the top person in network review, and as one of the judges, it is normal for him to get more attention.

"Sorry, let's talk later. I'm a bit busy right now. This review has increased my workload a lot." Manager Yoshida said apologetically, holding a water bottle.

Without waiting for their reaction, he hurriedly ran towards the shadows next to the entrance.

"I bought some water, wake up!"

In Ito Rin's mind, Sister Hiroi, who might be somewhat serious because of her work, was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. Right next to her, there were cheap wine boxes scattered around.

Hongxia, who guessed that something would go wrong, looked at Ito Rin with an expression of 'I won', looking very proud.

childish!

Ito Rin didn't want to argue with the high school girl, so she walked over to Sister Hiroi. After the manager gave her a few sips of water, she finally woke up.

"...Ah...Ito...Good morning..."

Her breath smelled heavily of alcohol, making one wonder if she had just climbed out of a wine vat.

"How could it turn out like this at such an important time?" Ito Rin asked.

When Hiroi was talked about sad things, he sat on the ground and howled. A few tears could be seen, but there were mostly sounds.

The participating bands gathered at the entrance all looked over here unconsciously, causing the members of the final band to cover their faces in shame, feeling that getting involved with Hiroi-san would lead to no good.

"It's because seeing so many young children reminds me of my lost youth that I can't help but want to numb myself with alcohol!"

"I also want to start over again..."

The useless adults group really lives up to their reputation.

Hongxia helped Sister Hiroi up and comforted her, and then everyone sent her to the lounge together, as she would be indispensable for the opening ceremony.

The exhibition hall today was packed with people, many of whom had their instruments behind them, all of whom were members who came for the review.

"We feel like we can't be exposed. Should we wear hats?"

Some people around were discussing the dark horse band that would end the online voting session. Hong Xia was happy but also spoke solemnly.

"You're overthinking it. The band isn't that well-known, and it's unlikely that other people have seen our faces." Looking at the next opponent, Ito Rin felt that she was overdoing it.

"No, that's because you are not famous enough. I still need to wear a hat." Yamada Ryo did not have any awareness that a bassist should have.

Not getting a response, Liang looked at Ito Rin strangely.

He was looking at his phone and searching for the corresponding band in the exhibition hall.

At this time, I happened to meet an all-female rock band. The members were all students from an art university. They were fashionable and beautiful, with a temperament that was completely different from high school students.

"The Beast Riya band should be very strong." Ito Rin muttered to himself, completely unaware that the real Beast had appeared behind him.

"What are you looking at?"

Following his line of sight, he could just see the smooth thighs of the female college students.

If I say this was an accident, even Pochi-chan wouldn't believe it, right?

"Our competitors, but they seem to have had an argument." Ito Rin noticed something was wrong after she finished speaking, and Ryo-chan's gaze was extremely terrifying.

"Does it look good?" Yamada Ryo asked unhappily.

"It's okay, but that's not the point." Ito Rin glared at her, "I'm working hard for the band."

Yamada Ryo rolled his eyes at him, meaning: I wouldn't believe you.

As the draw time drew closer, the bands that had been hiding in the lounge came to the hall. There were about thirty bands assigned to come here for review.

After SIDEROS, who often operate here, shows up, Ito Rin starts to suspect that there is something fishy going on.

"Don't think about things so darkly. The draw is about you going or me going." Hong Xia said seriously.

The order of performances has been regarded by them as the key factor in determining the competition.

"Why don't we just go together and bring Miss Yuyuko along?" asked Ito Rin.

"Oh, okay." Yuyuko Otsuki, who also had some social anxiety, couldn't even fit in with the atmosphere of her own band. After being invited, she coughed and still agreed.

This is a rare opportunity to communicate with others and should never be missed.

After they said goodbye to everyone else, Ito Rin took the lead and squeezed towards the ballot box.

Chapter 2: The End of the Game ()

"How many are you?"

After getting the license plate, Youyouzi asked them casually.

Hongxia hadn't looked at her number plate yet. In order to match the importance of the matter, she took a deep breath and was about to lift up the number plate bit by bit.

"Number five."

Ito Rin casually opened the sign on the table and felt that she could get through the morning.

Hong Xia was so angry that her teeth were itching and twisted his arm, but she felt that it was not appropriate to do so in front of outsiders, so she retracted her arm at the speed of light.

"Ahem, this number is unlucky."

"Captain, you smoked this yourself." Ito Rin exposed her dissatisfiedly.

"Even if I drew it, it's unlucky. Forget it. There's no point in talking to a boy. I'm going to go find Pochi-chan and the others."

This person really has something wrong with his brain. Since they believe in good luck in numbers, you will definitely be criticized if you draw something like this.

Ito Rin rubbed her arm and casually asked a few questions to Miss Yuyuko who was standing still.

"What about your band? When will the review be conducted?"

Yuyuko, whose topic of conversation was initiated by others, finally found an excuse to continue talking.

If Pochi-chan is a socially anxious person and the store manager is a tsundere, then she is a combination of the two. Although the degree of each is relatively mild, it is a lot more troublesome when the two are combined into one.

"Number two, it will be our turn soon."

"What a lucky guy." Ito Rin was very envious.

I don’t have to endure the agony of waiting and the noisy environment here. More importantly, I can know the results after the game and still have time to have dinner together.

Like their No. 5, it should be over in the afternoon, and the ending at that time will probably be that everyone will go their separate ways.

"Of course, don't you see who drew it?" Miss Youyouko, like Pochi-chan, couldn't stand the compliments.

Moreover, her level of confidence has reached a point where even Pochi-chan can't catch up with her on horseback.

As they chatted and walked towards where the others were waiting, the crowd started to become restless not far from them.

Well-known music media came to interview, and many people were selected.

Hiding in the corner of the corridor, Hong Xia, who had been cleaned up, took out her lunch box from her backpack and looked at the crowd over there with envy.

"Liang, let's go do the interview too!"

Yamada Ryo took the lunch box made by the store manager and nodded lightly: "Then they asked you which band you were in. If you answered that you were in the end of the band, others would definitely be interested."

"Oh no, I remembered this." Hongxia shrank her head and suddenly felt that the only people in the band suitable for interviewing were Ito Rin and Xiao Xiduo.

The two of them would definitely not be afraid of so many gazes.

"Is this really the bento made by the manager?" Liang's eyes were filled with indescribable surprise.

"It can be seen from the test that the manager's skills still have a lot of room for improvement." Xiao Kita is worthy of being a real person, and the art of speaking is very superb.

Pochi-chan ate silently. The taste reminded her of the time a long time ago when she was too shy to speak at school and had to eat the leftover lunch box.

The taste is exactly the same, and the dishes are made with intact ingredients.

This is her lost youth!

"Because I usually do the housework, my sister is very familiar with these things." Hong Xia bit the half-cooked rice and regretted not firmly refusing her sister's request to do it.

We shouldn't put everyone in danger just because of a little bit of emotion.

By the way, what about Ito Rin? This kind of pain should be borne by everyone together.

"It's so delicious! It's simply the most delicious thing in the world." Yamada Ryo was so moved that tears came out.

Recalling their youth and lamenting the hardships, the three members who dragged others down with them looked at the satisfied Liang Jiang in horror.

"Could it be that he ate too much grass and had a problem with his taste buds?"

"That's definitely the case, Senior Hongxia, please advise Senior Liang to go to the hospital for a checkup."

'Is it really delicious?'

"What are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?" Yamada Ryo raised his eyebrows and glared at them, not wanting to be outdone.

"No...that's right."

No matter what, Hongxia couldn't say that her sister's cooking was bad. When she was about to find Ito Rin to change the subject, she heard shouts from the crowd over there.

Ito Rin, who happened to be interviewed by reporters, talked freely in front of them.

"What's your goal in participating in the competition? Do I even need to ask this question? Of course, I want to be the champion."

"If you are not a team that is here for the championship, then don't be so nervous. Just have fun playing the game."

Youyouzi nodded in agreement and continued to maintain her aloof image.

They have the same opinion about ranking.

The female reporter did not expect that this very handsome boy would be so arrogant, and she immediately became excited.
