Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

"Then what are you thinking about? Can you ask President Aoyama to decline later?" Hongxia asked in confusion, her eyes drifting towards the basketball court next to her.

"When the team suffers a setback and falls into despair, I, the hero, will appear again to save the world. The effect will definitely be the best. Maybe I can even attract a few more little fans." Ito Rin said jokingly, and then made a gesture of summoning Ultraman, which made classmate Hongxia laugh.

"You and Liang are indeed cousins, and even worse."

"Thank you for the compliment. I still can't compare to her in this respect."

Behind the joke, Ito Rin is still thinking about the consequences of failure. If she has no experience of messing up a performance, she can't even be called a real musician.

As young people, it would be of great benefit for their future if they can develop strong endurance. For example, if they are thick-skinned enough, they can face the boos from the audience calmly or choose to curse back.

After all, it was not a wind band, and the people who came to watch the performance dared not say a word. However, if an underground rock band lacked the element of audience cursing, it would lose that crazy flavor.

Soon, they arrived outside the wind instrument department. Director Qingshan was in charge of the members' training, so he asked the deputy director who had some free time to lead them to look around in the large classroom.

"Hey, it's so big? But why is no one practicing here?"

After seeing that the layout of the large classroom was large enough to accommodate hundreds of students sitting in the audience, Hong Xia exclaimed, then trotted to her position on the stage to check the location of the power supply.

"This is because the content of the training for each part is different. In order to prevent sound interference, the director has dispersed the various parts into small classrooms, and they only come here for ensemble training." Deputy Director Koizumi, who was in charge of entertaining them, was a gentle girl with a similar temperament to Director Aoyama. She patiently explained to Hongxia's question.

By the way, the students in the wind band are usually quite friendly, and it is difficult for Ito Rin to find a player like the drunkard Hiroi whom she met last time.

He walked up the stairs, stomped the floor a few times, and asked Hongxia, "Ichichi-san, did you find anything inappropriate?"

She shook her head, and after making sure that there was enough power and the stage was large enough, she felt relieved and waited for the weekend to move the instruments and start her first performance.

"It's settled then, Ito-kun. We are all looking forward to your performance." When Minister Koizumi smiled, his eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, which made Ito Rin a little scared.

Why do I feel like he has bad intentions?

"If you are so excited, why not go to the Starry Hall to support our performance, Minister Koizumi. The ticket price is not expensive, only two thousand yuan per ticket."

Although she said it was not expensive, Ito Rin had already complained about the store manager who set the price in her heart. No wonder the band members had to pay for the live performances. This kind of ticket price must be to encourage newcomers to recruit friends and relatives.

Minister Koizumi was stunned for a moment, then he laughed uncontrollably and looked even more handsome.

"It's not me who's looking forward to the performance the most. It's the students who have always been suppressed by you. They are also in the wind band. When they knew that Ito-san was going to perform, they were very happy."

"By the way, Ito-kun should be very familiar with them. You two are classmates in the same class."

ha?

Ito Rin thought about it. When had he ever suppressed anyone? This was slander!

You know, it's easy for him to remember the names of everyone in the class, but he is not a trash can, and he has no interest in paying attention to what clubs they join.

"If they know that you're going to be angry again with this reaction, it's the students who rank below you in every exam."

I knew that those top-scoring students in the class would have no good intentions (except Ito Rin)!

Chapter 1 Live and Fireworks Display ()

However, after learning that there were at least three curling kings who coveted his first place and dared to waste time practicing in the wind band, Ito Rin was quite relieved.

It seems that everyone has the same idea, that is, we should have both learning and entertainment.

As long as they don't study as hard as Baimu, they still have a bright future. Baimu, that kid, if he keeps working hard, he will be able to get into the top 20 sooner or later.

Not necessarily.

After confirming the existence of those classmates in the wind band, Ito Rin was not sure whether they would become more aggressive in the future. After all, there were many people like Ryo-chan who fell like a meteor since she entered school.

He probably has been weighing on the shoulders of these unfortunate people.

Such poor kids.

"Minister Koizumi, I will make them convinced." Although she was talking to the child in her heart, Ito Rin's fighting spirit also suddenly rose. When dealing with academic masters, they must defeat them with the means they are best at!

"What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you just say you wanted to fail?" Hong Xia whispered to him.

She was almost trying to convince herself to accept Ito Rin's twisted logic, but this guy changed his face faster than she thought. Minister Koizumi's words were not even a provocation, so why did he change his rhetoric?

"Mr. Ichichi, you don't understand. This is war." Ito Rin looked at her with a serious expression. "In a group of humans, there is often a leading male lion. All the female lions will be its mating partners. But once a lion is defeated by a female lion, the status of both parties will change, and it will become the other party's harem."

"As the leader of a lion group, it cannot be afraid of any challenge. Only in this way can it hone its great strength and prestige."

Listening to his serious nonsense, Hongxia's expression was not much better than when she saw Hiroi. It was as if she was looking at an idiot.

She is not a fool. Ito's words are obviously about the lion groups in Africa!

Moreover, if a male lion fails, he will become the harem of a female lion. What kind of mental state did you have to come up with this nonsense?

"Hahaha, Ito-kun, if something like that really happens, remember to call me. It's quite interesting to think about it." Minister Koizumi next to him smiled maliciously, allowing Ito Rin to see clearly that even a girl with a gentle temperament can have a dark side.

"Don't worry Hongxia, we will definitely save our boos for Ito-kun when the time comes."

"With his thick skin, your booing will only make him more excited." After knowing each other for a long time, when his former glorious image had almost completely collapsed, Hongxia finally changed the way she addressed Ito Rin to "him".

Tsk, you make it sound like I'm a masochist, but it seems like there is some kind of relationship between them.

"After all, we are all classmates in Class 2, so it's normal for us to have a good relationship."

Ito Rin looked out with melancholy. The students in other classes were so kind, why did the people in Class 1 always want to murder him?

A strong person should be lonely.

Wait, what animal in nature walks alone? It seems to be a tiger? Write it down quickly, I will use it next time when I popularize science for Liangjiang.

While I was daydreaming, a loud, clear, and high-pitched trumpet sound came from outside. Even someone like Ito Rin, who didn't know much about wind instruments, could hear how much effort the person who played the trumpet had put into it.

"It's Yuna. This kid has sneaked out to practice alone again." Minister Koizumi knew who the other person was just by hearing the sound. He walked out of the classroom and pulled back a girl in school uniform.

Thanks to her identity as a band member, Ito Rin has now developed a not-so-good habit. She can't help but glance at other people's breasts, and then be greatly disappointed.

Damn, is it possible that people who are engaged in music have defects in some aspects?

"Hello, seniors." The girl named Yuna greeted them politely, then looked at Minister Koizumi angrily.

"Koizumi-senpai, this should be the time for practice!"

"Oh, don't be so harsh. Even Minister Qingshan agrees with the idea of ​​combining work and rest."

Hong Xia leaned close to his ear and said, "It looks like they're going to talk for a while, let's go first."

Ito Rin had no objection and said goodbye to Minister Koizumi and prepared to leave. They would have to find a car to deliver the musical instruments, drum sets and speakers, and they couldn't move them to the school by themselves.

"Ito, the wind orchestra is going to participate in a competition during the summer vacation. Do you want to come and have a look? The venue is in Tokyo." After easily suppressing the resistance of the junior sister, Koizumi adjusted his black-framed glasses and asked.

"Not interested. I'm busy during the summer vacation."

Working, playing in a band, recruiting people...

Any activity is more practical than running around in the scorching sun with the members of the wind band.

"Eh, what a shame, are you going to be busy picking up girls during the summer vacation?"

"Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. Bye."

After bidding farewell to Minister Koizumi, who had a regretful expression on his face, they left the school where there were not many students left. As the future successor of the Starry Performance Hall, Hong Xia certainly did not need to find a truck to move the musical instruments herself.

So, even though she had a conflict with her elder sister a few days ago about the live event, she mercifully forgave Xingge today.

"Sister, please help me find a car!"

Just after forgiving this 30-year-old sister who still slept with a toy doll in her arms in her heart, Hong Xia hugged her thighs very sincerely, as if she would not get up until the problem was solved.

"Don't look at it anymore. Have you practiced your guitar? Have you learned the new song? There's only one day left before the performance. Everyone should have a sense of urgency."

After taking a few glances at the situation over there and deciding that the store manager, who was obsessed with his sister, would definitely not be able to withstand this kind of attack, he also began to discipline the two guitarists over there.

Since the ensemble officially started, he finally saw the real dragon and phoenix. He thought that the drummer Hong Xia was invincible, but he didn't expect that the guitarist also had so many flaws.

Sometimes he would think of the old saying: if you don't push yourself, you won't understand how desperate you are. At first, he thought that Kita didn't need to play the guitar for the other two songs, and should be able to barely reach the passing level.

Now it seems that I have thought too much.

As for Pochi-chan, she is a genius girl.

That is a guitar, the guitar you have practiced for several years, not a fire stick! The audience below is your dear senior Ichichi, she is not a monster.

So could you please hold your guitar for me and play the song normally for the seniors?

I was pissed off by my dog ​​teammates.

But you can't be angry, after all, you still pulled the person in. Be gentle, Ito Rin!

In fact, there is a good side. At least Pochi-chan crawled out of the box. With this self-deceiving thought in mind, Ito Rin looked at the pink aho-haired creature with dangerous eyes.

You don't want to be laughed at by the small fry, so show me your real skills.

"Kita-san, you continue to practice the guitar part of the original song. It's enough to be able to play it completely. Pochi-chan, look at me and play the guitar casually."

Chapter 2 Live and Fireworks Display ()

No matter what Ito Rin thinks in her heart, it is impossible to improve the ensemble level of the members to a master level in one day. She can only rely on her own experience to help them overcome their weaknesses.

On Saturday, the store manager understood the importance of the performance to them and cancelled their usual work arrangements so that they could do their final training in the preparation room.

Regardless of whether she was satisfied or dissatisfied with the final result, the training intensity had already reached the limit of ordinary high school students, so on Sunday morning, Ito Rin changed her clothes, prepared herself in front of the mirror, and headed towards the direction of the stars.

Walking in Shimokitazawa in early July, the sea breeze from Tokyo Bay brings fresh air. In this cherry blossom season, fireworks festivals have begun in various parts of the island country.

"I heard there's a fireworks display nearby tonight. If the show goes well, would you like to go for a walk after it's over?"

But Ito Rin suddenly thought with boredom that the final exam would be here soon, and before that, the ambitious classmate Hongxia still had to perform a live under the stars. Would she have enough time?

"But for the fireworks display, do all the girls have to wear yukata? Will Ryou-chan wear something like that?"

When they arrived at Fanxing, all the girls except Pochi-chan were already waiting at the door. He was just about to go over to say hello when the van parked in front of the door honked and a head popped out from inside.

"Brat, hurry up and move your keyboard up here."

"Manager, do you have a driver's license? I feel nervous when I ask you to drive." Ito Rin said with a smile.

A beautiful girl with a melon-seed face popped out from under Sister Xingge's impatient face and greeted him. Is PA-chan going to follow her?

"This is Archangel's first official performance, we definitely can't miss it, don't you think, manager?" PA-chan still likes to go against the manager, but she is easily suppressed every time.

This time it was no surprise. After pushing PA-chan's head back to the other side, Xingge said, "Hongxia contributed all her pocket money. I must help."

Ito Rin had heard Liang-chan talk about her family's affairs. Although not in detail, she knew that the sisters depended on each other. Isn't pocket money just a matter of transferring from left hand to right hand?

Without exposing her, Ito Rin returned to the preparation room and walked out with the keyboard on his back. Two of the three girls who had arrived greeted him, but Liangjiang remained as arrogant as ever, waiting for Ito Rin to greet him.

It was so annoying, but her outfit today was really cute and handsome, making Ito Rin not know whether she should be angry or not.

The black women's suit with a tie and slim-fit trousers show off her long legs to the fullest. Although she lacks the temptation of stockings, she has a more dashing and heroic look. Coupled with her arrogant expression and the strange charm brought by her blue hair, it's no wonder that she has so many little fans.

Why did Ito Rin find her cute? Or was it because he thought that such a unique girl was actually his fiancée, so he could not help but have a biased attitude. Although their progress was only at the stage of holding hands and kissing, and they had not even made their relationship clear, but looking at the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye, Ito Rin still felt vaguely happy.

It turns out that character flaws are extremely powerless in the face of real-life advantages.

Oh yeah, except for Little Pochi.

"I sent a message to Pochi-chan, she will be here soon." Hongxia waved her phone, telling everyone not to worry.

Shortly after he finished speaking, Ito Rin helped Hongxia put the drum set in the trunk. Then, a burst of hurried footsteps and breathless apologies sounded behind them.

“…No, I’m sorry!”

Goto Ichiri, who had almost no sports nerve, still exerted his physical strength after receiving the news from Hongxia, even though he was only a short distance away from the stars.

Although the girl was panting and looked weak, Ito Rin still looked at her with admiration considering that she was carrying a heavy guitar on her back.

And the most surprising thing is that her pink sportswear was finally changed.

While Hongxia and Kita were helping her pack her things and patting her on the back, Ito Rin had the chance to take a closer look at what Goto-san was wearing today. It was a school uniform similar to Kita-chan's, with a light-colored shirt and a brown skirt. Most of the spring uniforms at high schools near Shimokitazawa look like this, but in winter, they change to another look.

Although it is very ordinary, but when worn by Goto, who usually covers herself up tightly, it makes her look more pleasing to the eye and cuter. The only difference is that the long bangs in front of her forehead cover her eyes, making it hard to guess what she is thinking.

What's even more surprising is that Goto-san unexpectedly has something interesting.

Ito Rin calmly withdrew her gaze, put her hands by her eyes, glanced at the sun that had already climbed halfway up the sky, and reminded: "Get ready to go, we still have to set up the venue."

Naturally, the few of them had no objections, and after closing the trunk of the car, they began to allocate seats.

The store manager's van this time had seven seats, and the driving seat was occupied by two adults. Pochi-chan, who was chosen later, aimed directly at the corner of the back row, which was her home. However, she had no chance to realize her little idea, as she was squeezed into the middle seat by Hongxia and Kita, enjoying the embrace of the two.

"nervous?"
