But because she had to focus all her energy on the upcoming national competition, Kumiko did not tell him the specific program, probably because she had to wait until she had time to start thinking about it.

"I hope you can win the gold medal." Ito Rin wished sincerely.

"Well, let's hope so. Even if there is not much possibility, I will never give up."

"By the way, where's Yuna-san? Why don't I see her? Or did she really abandon you?"

Ito Rin looked through the window into the room where the wind band was training. A girl as conspicuous as Takasaka Yuna was unlikely to be ignored.

Could it be that what he said was right? The serious-minded Yuna completely abandoned the unfortunate Kumiko!

"Why are you thinking about these strange things? She is training in another classroom. Senior, please disappear as soon as possible. I am still responsible for the training of the wind band."

The unpopular Ito Rin received a few cold stares and chose to leave the brass band.

During this lunch break, the classroom is still very lively. Students who do not have their own area and do not want to eat in the cafeteria will choose to eat some bread or bento here.

Ito Rin sat down in her seat while Ryo-chan was sleeping next to her. Ever since she gave up her dream of entering the University of Tokyo without any burden, her life has become carefree.

It seems that for the second generation of rich people, having dreams may be really great, but without dreams, they can only enjoy a carefree life.

Ito Rin rubbed her hair and reported the situation in a low voice to Hongxia, who was eating quietly in front of her.

"They agreed to come, but they are preparing for the national competition and can't spare much time."

"That's great." Hong Xia said with satisfaction.

Compared to the fact that she spent a long time searching for no one and ended up scaring away many bands, it turned out that Ito Rin was more reliable.

Well now, their party finally has more than just one band.

The sudden increase in noise woke up the soundly sleeping Liang Jiang. She rubbed her eyes and didn't mind the hand placed on her head.

"How many people have been found?" Liang Jiang asked with a yawn.

"Two, but both are very powerful masters." Ito Rin felt that he attached great importance to quality.

"So now we have seven masters, not bad."

It seems that Liang Jiang is quite fair and has a very serious preference for the ending band!

"Actually, we don't need too many people, as long as we can fill up the party time." Hong Xia said.

"If a lot of strangers were to come here unexpectedly, my sister would feel uncomfortable."

"So what do you mean?" Liang Jiang looked at Hong Xia: "Are you planning to let us stay on the field longer? And how much time do you plan for the party?"

"Two hours, starting at eight o'clock in the evening. First, celebrate my sister's birthday, and then start the party." Hong Xia counted the time on her fingers.

"In that case, I have a good idea." Ito Rin said, "Remember last Christmas? After we finished our performance at Hiroi, we could go back to Fanxing to continue. The two times can completely overlap. We can ask Sister Hiroi to take care of the last part."

Anyway, if they asked for it, and it was also to celebrate for the store manager, Hiroi would not refuse.

"Oh, that's right." Hong Xia tapped her head and suddenly everything became clear to her.

"If it's just one or two paragraphs, it won't take up too much time. I'll contact them after school."

"Now it's our turn to finish the band, Mao Mao and the others, Kumiko and Sister Hiroi. With this calculation, as long as we slow down the process a little, the two-hour party time can be easily filled. Besides, everyone is familiar with Sister, so it won't be awkward to celebrate."

Hongxia happily wrote down the process in her notebook, and Ito Rin reminded her not to be happy too soon.

"Captain, although this is a party for acquaintances, inviting so many people over on Christmas will definitely affect other people's plans. Remember to arrange the food!"

Yamada Ryo, Pochi-chan, Kumiko, as well as Ms. Hiroi and Ms. Yuyuko, are people who will never complain as long as the food is prepared sufficiently.

To be precise, most of the people invited this time can be dealt with, and the small number of difficult people will listen to those who are easy to deal with.

"Do not worry."

"I feel like I'm so redundant." Liangjiang, who was leaning on Ito Rin's shoulder, suddenly spoke.

"Remember to eat more and earn back our share then," said Ito Rin.

"Hmph." Liang Jiang snorted in dissatisfaction. Did he really think she was a foodie?

In the past, she only cared about eating at parties because she was too lazy to chat and it had nothing to do with the food itself.

Unless she was going through financial hardship at the time, she would not be tempted by food to attend the party.

"Since Liang wants to help, come and make plans with me and allocate the time periods that the bands will be responsible for." Hong Xia invited her enthusiastically.

"...No, I'm responsible for buying food." Liang bared his teeth in dissatisfaction.

"You're overthinking it. The band's funds must not fall into your hands, otherwise you will definitely not be able to resist embezzling them." Hong Xia's face changed instantly, and she pinched her face and said with certainty.

"Nonsense! I'm just using my own running money." Liang pinched her face, not wanting to be outdone.

Ito Rin smiled and shook her head, then leaned on the table and looked at the sky outside.

The sun is just right.

Chapter 192: The bed in the senior's house is quite big~

The music of the wind band became more and more urgent, indicating that the national competition was getting closer. While Ito Rin was cheering for them in her heart, she found some free time and asked Kita out.

Among his three girlfriends, who is the one who likes romance and surprises the most? It must be the super popular Kita-chan.

Although the boy was considerate and knew that Ito Rin had a lot of people to accompany and never took the initiative to ask him out, the occasional longing look in his eyes still tormented Ito Rin's conscience.

So on the weekend, after making sure he had no work or rehearsal that day, he sent a message to Xiao Xiduo.

[Kita-chan, are you free at noon? ]

Before that, he considerately called Liang Jiang to report today's schedule. In addition to being punished for waking her up, he also showed a very satisfied attitude.

"You have to tell me even this? You are such a coward. You don't have to tell me anymore."

You see, attitude determines everything. If I don’t tell her, she will definitely suspect whether Ito Rin is doing something strange behind her back. Now she is completely relieved.

Plan passes.

[Hey, we have time. ]

Xiao Kita replied to the message very quickly. After agreeing on the time and place, Ito Rin adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror and walked slowly towards her destination.

Her family did not live near Shimokitazawa. After arriving at the restaurant, Ito Rin waited for about half an hour, during which time he rejected two groups of high school students and a group of college students who approached him. Only then did he see the impetuous little Kita push open the door and sit in front of him, panting.

"Don't be so anxious." Ito Rin helped her wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Hehe, actually it's not that bad. It's not as intense as the race I participated in the sports meet." Xiao Xiduo enjoyed the service of his senior, took the barley tea he handed over, and drank it in big gulps.

"Race? As expected of you, did you get a ranking in the end?"

Only after Xiao Kita arrived did Ito Rin start ordering, and most of the choices were her favorite foods.

"I didn't perform very well, I only got third place." Xiao Xiduo said proudly.

This way of quietly showing off achievements gave Ito Rin a sense of déjà vu. Wonder, who is it?

"That's great." Ito Rin clapped her hands.

"I'm totally inferior to you, senior. Anyway, if you want to, you can definitely get many first places in the sports meet!" Little Kita looked at him with his bright eyes, with a confidence that even Ito Rin didn't dare to have easily.

"Probably..." Ito Rin said uncertainly.

He may have an advantage in running, but if he does a sport that requires skill, it will immediately become a weakness.

Unless he starts training in advance, he will not be able to compete with the professionally trained club members.

"Humble!" Xiao Xiduo twirled his fingers in disapproval: "A genius like you can definitely do it if you want to!"

Who gave her such confidence? Ito Rin was sure that it was definitely not him!

"Let's not talk about the sports meet for now. Let's go shopping after dinner."

Ito Rin changed the subject abruptly. He was afraid to continue the conversation as Kita-chan had already raised his level to the point where he could win a game alone.

"Okay." Xiao Xiduo nodded happily. He believed that this shopping trip would be very interesting without any other light bulbs.

"How are the preparations for the party the seniors are throwing going? What is the band going to do?"

The food was served, and little Kita obediently completed the pre-meal etiquette, but then became jumpy again.

"We have basically found the basic personnel. Now I am in charge of purchasing, and Hongxia will be responsible for the party schedule. The band's work may be a little heavier." Ito Rin talked about the arrangements made some time ago.

Liangjiang was particularly arrogant when she was clamoring to be an outsider, but when she was really asked to work, she immediately behaved like a paramecium, as if she didn't understand what was said.

The final arrangement was the same as usual, with the two of them taking care of most of the affairs.

When ordering, Ito Rin took special care of her and chose the food she often ate, so she was particularly happy when she spoke: "Is this the band's last event this year?"

"After Christmas, the year was supposed to end."

"Don't expose me. I can feel that we haven't had much activity since the third semester." Xiao Kita clenched his fists, looking eager to try.

Although she is a child with relatively poor technical skills, she is very concerned about the development and honor of the band.

In other words, joining the Ending Band was something she thought was meaningful, and helping the Ending Band develop into a real professional band was also the ending that Xiao Kita longed to see.

"Hongxia is going to take the entrance exam for Waseda University. As for Liangjiang and I, we are completely liberated."

"Haha." Xiao Kita couldn't help laughing out loud, and then embarrassedly stuck out his tongue at his senior: "Senior Yamada gave up so late, it's a bit beyond my expectation."

"What about you? You seemed to be planning to go to college before, but now you have to go and accompany Pochi-chan just to record an album." Ito Rin stared at her.

"Ahem." Xiao Kita, who was speechless after being looked at by his sharp eyes, coughed a few times awkwardly, lowered his head and muttered something incomprehensible like 'time is tight', 'there is still one year', 'there is assistance from seniors', etc. Anyway, he had to wait until next year and continue to work hard with the help of Ito Rin.

"Watch less videos at night, and you should have time."

"Hehe, that's impossible! If there are no video websites in my life, I might as well die!"

After making such a strange declaration, the two finished their meal and walked out of the restaurant.

She used to be more restrained, but now without any light bulbs and with Ryo-chan's permission, Ito Rin firmly held Kita's hand.

It felt delicate and soft, yet warm, which made him increase the strength of his hands.

"Senior~" Xiao Xiduo called out in her sweet and charming voice.

"Ah."

"Senior~"

"here I am."

"Senior~"

"I'm going to take care of you." Ito Rin turned sideways and stared at her, her hands already impatient.

"Hehe, let's go shopping!" She just snuggled into Ito Rin's arms on the street, and uttered gentle words from her pink lips.

On the streets of Tokyo, such actions are rare, but not uncommon either. When seeing couples who look like high school students hugging each other openly, some pedestrians still stop and reminisce about their youth.

"I originally said that I would go shopping with you today, so you can make the arrangements." Ito Rin rubbed her hair lovingly.

"Yeah." She felt the warmth of her senior's body with longing, and only let go reluctantly when there was no reason to delay any further.

"Since you want me to arrange it, there will be a lot of activities this afternoon!" Kita-chan, who once again transformed from a girl in love into a super lively person, immediately showed great motivation.

Unlike the other three indoor people, Ito Rin, who exercises every day, is full of confidence and feels that she will never be stumped by such difficulty.

"Don't worry, I will follow you."

……

Around eight o'clock in the evening, Ito Rin collapsed on a fast food restaurant table inside the mall. Looking at the bags in his hands, which obviously did not have many bags, but he had been shopping for a whole afternoon, he could not help but shiver.

She could actually take a look at nail salons, cosmetics stores, clothing stores, and stores selling all kinds of bags, and then point out their shortcomings to protect her wallet.

What a scary girl.

Xiao Xiduo, who was sitting opposite him, still looked energetic and as if he was still not satisfied. He even planned to continue shopping after dinner.

No, absolutely not.

For the sake of her own safety, Ito Rin perked up and looked at Kita-chan: "If we go out late, there will be no train to go home."

"Oh, senior, what are you talking about~" Xiao Xiduo covered her face shyly, and looked at Ito Rin with affectionate eyes, "If there is really no train, I will have to call my family and not go home tonight."

"But I've used all my money to buy things. What should I do if I don't have money to stay in a hotel? Should I go find Senior Hong Xia? It would be bad to disturb her at such a short notice. I also have to consider the store manager's mood."

After saying this, Xiao Xiduo's big eyes flickered, and he almost expressed what he wanted to say directly.

"Senior, do you mind if there's one more person at home tonight? And it's the kind of girl that I want to sleep with~"
