Following behind her, Takasaka Yuna, who was wearing a school uniform, knocked her head mercilessly: "Don't forget that you asked me to come here today, so be more respectful."

"Wow!" Kumiko whimpered and was dragged by Yuna into the store.

Except for these two sophomore girls who hadn't been there for a long time, most of the people who came to the party were familiar faces.

"It feels like I haven't seen Kumiko for a while, what have you been doing lately?"

Because it was still early, the girls sat around the table and had a tea party. Xiao Kita asked curiously, and Ito Rin, imagining what was going to happen next, covered her face.

As expected, when asked about something she was proud of, Kumiko's interest rose several levels. She maintained a humble expression on the surface, but the pride in her words could not be concealed.

"I just led the club to participate in the national competition, and accidentally won the national gold medal. Other than that, there is really nothing worth talking about."

Kumiko put her hands on her hips, her eyes almost flew to the sky, and her smug look made Yuna want to punish her.

“I don’t know who it was, but after winning the gold medal, he was so excited that he almost cried, and he couldn’t sleep that night.”

"Yuna!"

"Why do I feel like they are the protagonists of a school anime?" Hongxia touched Ito Rin's shoulder.

"Shouldn't the protagonist be someone as handsome as me?" Ito Rin asked back.

"In terms of thick skin, you and Liang are both suitable to be the protagonists." Hong Xia sighed: "But now, let's prepare to change the banner."

The two of them went to give the store manager a surprise, and Kita, who was passively accepting Kumiko's bragging, had already begun to regret why he said so much.

In order to escape this ongoing nightmare, she quickly changed the subject: "Kumiko, didn't you bring any musical instruments?"

Since she was the gold medalist in the national competition, she would most likely perform a wind instrument, and if I remembered Kumiko's instrument correctly, it was quite eye-catching.

"Ha, haha." Kumiko scratched her bob awkwardly, "Originally I decided to play some music."

"But I didn't agree, so I changed it to something else." Yuna interjected calmly.

"what?"

Kumiko stood on one leg on the chair and spoke in a strange voice: "Next, please enjoy the double rakugo performance of high school girls!"

"Wait, that seems to be a stand-up comedy!"

"It doesn't matter. Yuna doesn't talk anyway. There's not much difference between a duet and a stand-up."

Another slap came down, shutting up the woman who had revealed the secret.

The store manager saw that they were happily chatting here, but he was still confused. How did it get to the show?

Aren't they here for Christmas?

"Qiang Qiang!"

After replacing the original banner with one wishing her sister a happy birthday, Hong Xia called out to the store manager.

"Sister, come and see!"

The store manager looked at the banner posted in the store with a puzzled look on his face, then looked at his sister's expectant expression and fell into deep thought.

"You're really not making fun of me for getting old?"

"Absolutely not. Besides, in my heart, sister is not old at all. You will always be eighteen years old!" Hong Xia trotted to the manager, put her arms around her waist, and started to act coquettishly.

"Huh." The store manager, who finally felt relieved, also hugged her sister and gently stroked her golden hair.

Ito Rin looked at this scene and felt that all her hard work over the past few days was not in vain.

"I'm too old to watch such touching scenes." Liang Jiang suddenly appeared behind him and spoke with emotion.

"Old Yamada?" Ito Rin looked at her.

"No, it's Eternal Yamada." Yamada Ryo raised his head and smiled proudly.

She was in charge of buying food and put the things on the table, causing a commotion.

Ito Rin followed and sat down, leaning next to her and whispered, "How much did you take?"

"Actually, not a penny was lost. I even put in a little bit." Liang Jiang rubbed her temple and talked to him.

"My original plan was to use some of my travel expenses reasonably so that you and Hongxia wouldn't be able to find out what was wrong with me even if you found out. But when I saw that my favorite snacks were on sale at a reduced price, I couldn't help but spend more than I had."

“…I don’t quite believe it.”

"Who cares?" Liang-chan glared at him coquettishly, sat down next to Pochi-chan, and they both started eating in silence.

This is the fundamental reason why she is willing to spend money. In the end, most of the money will end up in her and Pochi-chan's mouths anyway.

Only this time, they met their match.

When deciding to attend the party, Kumiko asked Ito Rin for some delicious food. When the snacks finally appeared, she puffed up her cheeks and buried her head in hard training.

"Kumiko-senpai is so fast that Goto-senpai is clearly left behind by her. It seems that the title of this year's big eater no longer exists... Wait, my God, what is that? It's Yamada-senpai. Her eating speed has made a qualitative leap. The result of the competition is still in suspense!"

Big Mountain Cat took the microphone and explained the big eating contest in a serious manner. Takasaka Yuna lowered her head in shame and really didn't want to admit that she came here with Kumiko.

"Liang, come on!" The members who finished the band cheered loudly for Liang.

Encouraged, Yamada Ryo looked at everyone with gratitude and ran even faster.

Kumiko looked at her support group with a pleading look in her eyes.

"Yuuna, it's up to you."

Yuna followed because she couldn't resist that kind of look. She opened her mouth absent-mindedly and shouted softly.

"Kumiko, come on..."

Chapter 202: It doesn’t matter if I’m a little fat, right?

At the end of the eating contest, the competition was forced to stop in order to leave enough food for those who came later, so there was no real winner.

But the fiery eye contact between the two contestants was enough to show how fierce the competition was!

Well, Hongxia was worried that these two guys would not be able to resist eating all the food they would need tonight, so she called a halt in time and forbade Liang to continue eating.

"You too, you can only drink water for the next period of time." Yuna handed the water to Kumiko and spoke sternly.

"No!" Kumiko widened her eyes.

She was anxiously waiting for the party to start, but he forbade her to eat the snacks in front of her. It would be better to kill her.

No matter how she begged, Yuna was determined to control her diet, and when he couldn't stand her harassment anymore, he coldly threw down threats.

"If you eat too many snacks, your breasts won't grow."

The effect was immediate. Kumiko looked down at the flat ground and immediately put down the snacks in her hand. But after looking at her opponent's breasts, she felt that she had been cheated.

After this little episode was over, the time on the clock in the exhibition hall slowly pointed to eight o'clock. Ito Rin, who was in charge of stage planning, had already picked up the intercom and began to arrange for the host and the first performer to go on stage.

It was the first time that Xingge had seen such a grand birthday party, and she became interested. Seeing how well-organized their arrangements were, she turned aside to show off to the PA.

"What's the party like?"

Looking at her smug face, Miss PA was so angry that her teeth itched, but she really couldn't compare it with this on her birthday, so she closed her mouth with hatred and didn't plan to look at her.

Xingge felt relieved and looked at the stage again. He thought that if it could be like this in the future, then even if it was a birthday reminding himself that he was one year older, it wouldn't be such a disgusting thing.

The person who was responsible for hosting at the beginning was Hong Xia. Ito Rin in the audience connected to her microphone. After confirming that the time was about right, she walked onto the stage wearing her band uniform.

There's no way, after all, we are short of manpower, and the host on stage will have to perform on stage himself later.

Ito Rin stood beside the stage and watched her celebrate her sister's birthday. The store manager was also moved and stood up. After thinking that the sad drama was enough, he began to promote the progress of the party.

"Hongxia, get ready to announce. The first ones to go on stage are Maomao and the others."

Hong Xia, who was communicating deeply with her sister through eye contact, heard the voice coming from the headset, and calmed down and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the performance of Dashanmaomao and Hinata Huilianna."

The younger members of the two bands came up with their musical instruments. After all, they were experienced people and did not feel too much psychological pressure when facing the familiar audience in the audience.

Although their skills cannot catch up with the Ending Band, a group that has been together for two years, the cooperation between the two is also very good, especially Maomao's guitar, which has improved rapidly.

"Come on, cats!" Little Kita clapped for them from the audience.

Because they are from the same school, even though they are not in the same class, they have a very good relationship privately, and the effect of cheering each other loudly is also great.

The first performance was a huge success!

When Ito Rin was about to direct Hongxia to go on stage, Kumiko suddenly found him and said embarrassedly: "Hey, senior!"

"What's the matter?" He first cut off the call with Hongxia and looked at Kumiko beside him.

"We were supposed to perform." She played with her fingers and continued, "But Yuna didn't want to, so she asked me to come up with a new program. I thought that Senpai's suggestion was great, and if the two of us performed Rakugo, the effect would definitely be amazing."

Only then did Ito Rin notice that they came alone and did not bring any musical instruments.

"Rakugo is no problem, but can you do it?" Ito Rin looked at her doubtfully.

“Don’t underestimate me. Even though I haven’t received any professional training, I watch it often. Performing on stage won’t be a problem at all.” Kumiko confidently made a victory gesture.

Seeing her like this, the skeptical Ito Rin connected with Hongxia again. On the stage over there, Maomao was already doing the post-match thank you segment. Because she had not been allowed to leave the stage, she racked her brains and now she has thanked Jimmy Henry from Pochi-chan's family.

"…Thank you, Jimmy Hen-senpai."

"What are you doing over there?" Hong Xia, who had been waiting for a long time, asked hurriedly after hearing the voice.

"Let them come down first. I feel like if we continue, the cat will start to call out the names of the dishes." Ito Rin directed first: "Change Kumiko's performance to Rakugo. They have changed the program."

"Ah." Hong Xia exclaimed, and met Ito Rin's gaze across the stage: "It's good this way. If it's all music programs, it's still a little lacking."

The lovely Hong Xia rushed onto the stage and saved the poor cat. With a resentful look in her eyes, she reported the next scene with a blushing face.

"Kumiko-san and Yuna-san from Shimokitazawa High School are going to perform a duet of Rakugo for everyone. Please welcome the two of you to the stage."

Kumiko really looks like that, especially when paired with the cool and elegant Yuna who remains silent and then is made to smile by her funny performance. It even goes beyond Rakugo and looks a bit like a skit.

Because they were the next ones, Ito Rin left the backstage and ran to the preparation room, where the others had already been waiting. When they saw him come in, they just threw the band's uniforms at him.

"Kumiko's performance was great."

Listening to the laughter coming from outside the house, Xiao Xiduo praised.

"There's no doubt that the two of them will fail when facing the five of us in the band." After changing her clothes, Liang Jiang lifted her bangs on her forehead in a childish way.

"And Hongxia, when are we going to cut the cake? I'm so hungry."

Hong Xia stroked the drum head and felt a headache when she heard her words, "You ate so many snacks just now. It's only been a few hours, how come you're hungry again!"

Liang Jiang blinked her eyes and said innocently, "I can't help it. The band performance is too physically demanding. I'm already preparing for when I get off the stage later."

"...We'll start cutting the cake when we get downstairs. Hiroi-san and Youyouko and the others won't be here until half past nine." Hongxia pinched her cheeks.

"It seems there is no need to leave food for them."

"How dare you? They worked so hard to come here. If you dare to finish eating them, you will be dead."

Liangjiang looked at Ito Rin who was about to move the keyboard, and her eyes expressed the meaning of "someone is bullying your girlfriend".

Ito Rin put down the keyboard helplessly and became serious: "If you eat too many sweets at night, you will get fat. Liangjiang, you should eat less when we share the cake later."

"Whose boyfriend are you?" Yamada Ryo asked dissatisfiedly.

What can Ito Rin do? Ito Rin is also helpless. She can't just tell her to finish the cake without conscience.

"My share is yours."

It can only be this way.

"That's more like it." Liang Jiang, who was extremely easy to please, laughed when discussing food.

Kumiko's farewell speech was heard outside, along with a lot of applause. They looked at each other, ready to step onto today's star-studded stage.

On the main stage, Kumiko's speech was coming to an end when the closing band came out of the preparation room.

"Thank you for your support. I will continue to work hard."

When it came to their place, the person responsible for the opening became Xiao Kitao. After standing on this familiar venue after many days, Xiao Kitao's voice became excited.

"Let's end the band and bring our new album to the forever young manager of Xingge!"

"Youth and the Western Sky!"

There are a total of six songs in their mini album, and their mission tonight is to perform three of them to keep the party going.

"Oooo!"

Koina, Kumiko and the others cheered enthusiastically. They felt so happy that their favorite idol was playing for just a few people at such a close distance. It was as if they were in a dream.

Amid the cheers from the audience, Kita-chan sang into the microphone in a deep voice, and Pochi-chan's guitar perfectly followed her rhythm.
