Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

As they had to leave the next day, the store manager was considerate enough to give them a day off, even though Aichi Prefecture is not far from Tokyo. However, it was impossible to pay their wages.

The practice was almost over, and around six o'clock, Hongxia announced the disbandment and decided to find a restaurant for a big meal.

At this time, Shimokitazawa was bustling with people coming and going. It was the busiest time of the day. As soon as they came out of the star-studded aisle, the whizzing vehicles brought up a gust of cold wind, which was instantly dispersed by the bustling crowd.

After getting used to eating at the nearby shops, they discussed it and decided to spend twenty minutes walking through Shimokitazawa to see several other bustling streets in Setagaya Ward.

At this point, the music atmosphere of Shimokitazawa was slightly diluted, and the big city atmosphere of Tokyo became stronger.

Waitresses in colorful uniforms greeted customers at the door. When they passed by, their voices became several degrees louder and their eyes were fixed on Ito Rin and Yamada Ryo.

The drunkard, a common figure in urban legends, had not yet appeared because it was still early.

Ito Rin withdrew her gaze from the bunny-eared maid and spoke after Yamada Ryo's 'kind' reminder.

"It's better not to go to the maid cafe."

"We didn't plan to go there anyway!"

Hongxia touched her forehead and looked at the smiling Ito Rin and the maid cafe across the street. She sighed inwardly at the nature of boys and finally stopped in front of a family restaurant.

"Then let's go here. I saw some good reviews online."

“Online reviews are unreliable.”

"Then what do you think is of reference value, or does Ito have better suggestions?"

"Well, it seems not."

Yamada Ryo watched them suspiciously as they responded to each other, feeling that they were skilled and familiar with each other.

"That's good, let's go in!" Hong Xia, who had the upper hand, waved his hand proudly and stepped into the store.

Ito Rin, who loves to argue with someone, was about to go in for dinner when she saw the confusion on Yamada Ryo's expression and her heart tightened. She couldn't just ignore Ryo-chan just because she didn't like to talk.

"Cold sauce~"

"This tone is disgusting."

Ren, we've known each other for so long, how could you not know her temper?

"You're leaving tomorrow, so why don't you give me a loving kiss?"

"What kind of greasy speech is this? Get out of here." She was full of arrogance. Although she was not as tall as Ito Rin, she still spoke in a condescending manner.

Ito Rin looked at her serious little face and couldn't help but hug her, holding her earlobe in her mouth, and stroking her slender waist and round buttocks with his hands. He didn't let go until she stepped on his feet.

"Can't you just behave yourself? You're leaving now and you're still such a loser."

Although I don’t hate this kind of thing, the other people in the band are not blind!

"Although Aichi Prefecture is not far away, it is still outside Tokyo. Do you want to bring any local specialties?" Ito Rin looked at the teardrop mole at the corner of Yamada Ryo's eyes with a bit of nostalgia. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether it made her more beautiful or more handsome.

"Fukuzawa Yukichi."

“…That’s not a specialty.”

It doesn’t matter who Fukuzawa Yukichi is. It is enough to know that he is the portrait on the island country’s largest denomination 10,000 yuan banknote. The specialty she wants is really in line with her personality.

Trashy woman!

"Hey, you two, have you had enough?"

In front of the restaurant, Hongxia put her hands on her hips and looked at them flirting with displeasure. Xiduo's eyes were complicated, with jealousy and relief, as well as some indescribable emotions.

Goto, who was slow to realize it, only now discovered that the young people in the band were actually a couple. The passionate youthful feelings hurt her fragile heart again.

Discovered Yangjiao and listed it as a hostile target!

However, this mechanism has probably learned to automatically identify whether the other party is a band member.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Shaking off his hand, Yamada Ryo walked into the restaurant proudly.

The sky in Setagaya district grew darker. Shops along the way turned on their door lights one after another, making the streets colorful. Cars crowded on the road honked their horns before disappearing into the hustle and bustle.

Ito Rin rubbed his temple and looked outside, then walked in at their shouts.

The last day in Tokyo passed in a flash.

The next day, Thursday.

I don’t know how the national competition schedule is usually arranged, but Ito Rin feels very happy to have a reasonable reason to skip classes.

Knowledge is indeed cute, but it does not mean that he likes to sit in a seat, listening to the teacher talking about things that he already knows, and making an expression as if he has benefited a lot.

The arrangements for leave had been made long ago. There were quite a few people in the class who participated in this competition, and their results were all among the best.

Hey, shouldn't people who do well in club activities have more free time? Or do people with good grades have more free time?

Ito Rin couldn't figure out the cause and effect for a while, so after waiting for Hongxia in the corridor, she went to the club building to meet up with the main group of the wind orchestra.

Because it is a prestigious high school, Shimokitazawa High School has done a great job in appearance and infrastructure. Even when going to Aichi Prefecture, hundreds of kilometers away, they take the school bus.

"Nijixia, have you noticed that all the drummers in the wind band are boys?" Ito Rin sat down and started to harass Ijichi Nijixia beside her before the journey began.

The two of them were natural allies, or outsiders, in the car.

This doesn't mean that they can't fit in, but at critical moments, they can't empathize and understand everyone's efforts, so it's better to just encourage them silently.

"Ito-san, do you know what the benefits of playing drums are?"

"What else can it do?"

"The strength in your hands will increase. Liang knows this best." Hong Xia smiled gently.

Ito Rin swallowed his saliva and calmed down. He was certainly not afraid of this small fist, but his game had already started and he didn't need to bother with girls.

"Keep your voice down."

"..."

"You don't have headphones?"

"Bring it."

"Then use it. I'm going to get ready for bed."

...Do I need to ask him for permission to sleep? And how can you sleep in the tense atmosphere in the car?

Ito Rin turned off the game and started searching for the place they were going to. Originally, the national competition was to be held at Fumonkan in Tokyo, but it was later changed to the Nagoya International Conference Center due to the 311 earthquake.

As one of the three largest metropolitan areas in the island nation, Nagoya is considered a remote place only by people from Tokyo...

The distance on the map was not far, but it took longer to get there than Ito Rin had imagined. His phone was almost out of battery when the school bus stopped in front of the hotel.

"Why did you arrive so late?"

Hong Xia, who was awakened by the noise of people getting off the bus, rubbed her eyes, opened her cell phone and checked the time.

"After all, it's not a train. It's normal to have delays. I still have to move my luggage." Ito Rin complained, clapped hands with the boy passing by them, packed up her things and went to the truck behind.

Hongxia was not in a hurry to get off the bus at this time. She planned to wait until everyone had almost left before getting off. She leisurely leaned against the bus window, watching Ito Rin moving musical instruments and chatting and laughing with the boys. Suddenly, she felt a little envious.

This guy's happiness really doesn't seem fake, and he can really get along with others in any environment.

"Hongxia, let's go down!"

"Ah."

After all the luggage was moved into the room, men and women found accommodation according to the assigned house numbers. There were fewer boys and in order to save money when booking the room, they chose a dormitory bed, so one bed was more than enough for them.

"Ah! It feels so good not to have to go to class."

"Whose bag is this? Don't put it on top!"

"Ito, you bastard, you followed me again."

Away from the girls' sight, the boys no longer pretended to be aloof and instantly became friends.

"Be content. I'm here to cheer for you. I guarantee that you'll win the gold medal." Ito Rin found the power socket, and when she saw her phone start charging, the emptiness in her heart slowly dissipated.

It turns out that modern people cannot live without mobile phones. Even that idiot Yamada Ryo who refuses to socialize basically never chats with him on Line.

"...Gold Award. I heard that 30 colleges and universities were selected this year, and some of them are well-established and prestigious schools."

"Nonsense, our Shimokitazawa is also a well-established and prestigious school!"

“But our opponents are all schools with several gold medals!”

"It's not like there's only one champion. It would be great if we can beat the other schools." Ito Rin replied to some of Shiraki's nonsense on his phone. Not having classes didn't mean he had nothing to do. "I looked at the records of previous years, and the winning rate is not small."

"Oh, that's not that easy. We're going to practice the ensemble later. Do you want to come and watch?"

"So anxious?" Ito Rin didn't know if all schools had to seize this last minute to launch an emergency assault?

"No way. The minister has already said in the group that we should gather at the concert hall in twenty minutes."

From Tokyo to Nagoya, before the boys who had just taken a break started discussing games with other girls, Minister Aoyama had already squeezed out their free time.

No wonder he was able to lead the wind orchestra to this point, his training style is definitely hellish.

……

In the hotel's own concert hall, among the few seats in the audience, except for those who were curious or trying to gather information, Ito Rin looked at the girl next to her.

"Why are you here too?"

"This place is not owned by Ito's family, and the person performing on the stage is not Ito, so is there any reason why I can't come?" Hongxia rolled her eyes at him unhappily, feeling that he was becoming an idiot.

"No, even if this place is owned by my family, Ichichi-san can come here, and there's no charge."

"Sadly not."

"Yeah, so sad."

"You're so fake."

The stage diving in Chapter 4 is also great!

As the performance on stage is repeated again and again, more imperfections are corrected, and the effort is being made to achieve the best results.

Although neither of them looked like they understood what was said, they all applauded when Qingshan Jianzi announced the end of the training.

"Gather downstairs at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning and rest early tonight." Looking at the eager eyes in front of her, she took a deep breath, recalled the hellish training this year, and shouted loudly: "Come on, everyone, take the gold medal back!"

"come on!"

Even the carefree Yumiko Asakura became serious on the eve of the competition. After the group was announced to disband, she still reluctantly packed up her instruments before pulling up Yuuna Kousaka, who still had to continue training, to go eat.

The hotel opened near the venue of the national competition is clearly intended to do business with the participating schools, so there are rare things like concert halls. In addition, all kinds of public facilities are also designed in a big way.

People who are about to go on stage tomorrow will choose to have a quick meal in the hotel cafeteria and then return to their rooms to either sleep or practice silently, even if they are in a big city with bright lights and nightlife outside, if they are feeling nervous.

There are not many people like Ito Rin and Ijichi Kouka who treat this trip as a trip for fun.

Yesterday he talked to Yamada Ryo about local specialties, and later he actually checked and found quite a few good things. After the party ended, he dragged classmate Hongxia out shopping.

"So what does it have to do with me?"

It was approaching eight o'clock and the night view of Nagoya looked very beautiful. Ijichi Hongxia kicked the stones at her feet and said dissatisfiedly.

"It's not important." Ito Rin said perfunctorily, using the navigation to find her target, "Don't you want to try the chess piece side?"

"What is that? There must be one in Tokyo."

This is the confidence that being a Tokyo native gives her, but Hongxia, you don’t know the true meaning of traveling at all!

"The so-called chess piece noodles refer to flat udon noodles. The name comes from a Chinese snack of the same name. The noodles are smooth and elastic, and paired with the delicious noodle soup, they are a delicious dish..."

"You are clearly reading according to the introduction in the encyclopedia."

"... Nonsense, I'm not from Nagoya. If I want to understand their characteristics, I must rely on the Internet. Hongxia, this is the age of the Internet, don't fall behind."

Ito Rin waved her hands, looking a little helpless at her slowness.

“Children who can use mobile phones are really abominable.”

"You sound like you don't need it. Apart from the chess noodles, what I'm most looking forward to is the miso oden. I heard that the miso they use has a special flavor, and they even developed the so-called miso cuisine."
