Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

The thing she regretted most was the dispute with her sister when she was a child. If she had calmed down at that time, perhaps many things would have changed...

"Didn't Ito have conflicts with his family when he was a child?"

"of course not."

"Didn't you say that you once played in the mountains until dark and got caught?"

That was a topic they brought up while chatting during the filming of the movie. I didn't expect Hongxia to still remember it.

"Yes, I was beaten afterwards. Just accept the punishment after doing something wrong. When dealing with family members, as long as you are more open-minded, there will be no conflicts that cannot be resolved."

Ito Rin opened his arms and gestured to his heart which was as big as the Pacific Ocean. However, he was different from those children. He had long passed the stage of strong self-esteem and had no psychological burden when he retreated.

"It's easy to say." Hong Xia glanced at him and no longer indulged in the past.

Kumiko still looked at them pitifully. Hongxia, who wanted to help ease the conflict, asked, "What do you plan to do, Kumiko-san? If it's just an apology, one person should be enough, right?"

"I feel that... a simple apology and explanation will not be effective, so I want to ask the seniors for help, especially Ito-senpai. You are so smart, you must have a lot of ideas!"

Being smart and having many ideas are not causally related. He hoped Kumiko could figure this out, but as he continued to ask questions, more details were revealed.

"In fact, it's not just that sentence. Another reason is that we have different attitudes towards the silver reward."

In short, Kumiko, as the chief, felt sorry that she did not win the gold prize in her first national conference, but she was satisfied with the silver prize and planned to work hard for another year. Her attitude inevitably seemed too optimistic.

But Yuuna Kousaka didn't think so. When the competition ended, Yuuna Kousaka was the saddest person in the wind orchestra. It would have been fine if she was sad alone, but when her best friend asked her to go out for relaxation, she saw Kumiko, who was also the principal, so happy, and misunderstandings arose between the two. The following sentence probably just triggered everything.

"I see." After listening to her whole story, Ito Rin touched his chin and expressed a different opinion.

"Kumiko, is it possible that Yuna ran away not because she was angry, but because she was shy?!"

"What the hell." "Impossible."

He clapped his hands, looking confident of victory, "Anything is possible, and the solution to the reconciliation you want is hidden in it."

Ito Rin, who had a strange way of thinking, finally became interested. He had seen too many normal or bloody relationships, but this was the first time he had seen a yuri situation like this.

"So Kumiko, if Yuna is really avoiding you because she's shy, what are you going to do?" Ito Rin joked.

"I like boys!" When saying this, Kumiko rarely remembered the smell of Yuna, her fair skin and long black hair. No matter how you look at it, Yuna is a beauty.

Moreover, she has excellent academic performance and a gentle temper. When she is with Kumiko, she plays the role of tolerance most of the time, which is why the relationship between the two is so good.

If Yuna is really Lily...

stop stop stop!

Kumiko, what on earth are you thinking about? This is just your senior's nonsense, don't let it affect you.

Kumiko patted her cheeks, which were puffed up again, and glared at Ito Rin, who was about to laugh out loud, and gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Stop bullying her." Hongxia, who didn't need to be patient, had already started laughing because of Kumiko's cute performance, but she knew how to restrain herself and didn't make any sound.

"Well, neither of you are lily."

"That's too perfunctory. It obviously has nothing to do with that. It's just a misunderstanding!"

Let's put the dispute about yuri aside for the moment. Out of fun and kindness, and of course mainly because it's fun, Ito Rin decided to help her junior resolve this conflict.

"Where are you going on your school trip? If you come with us, you'll have plenty of time."

"Kyoto, I'm in the same class with Yuna, so I don't need to consider her."

It seems that in the eyes of Tokyo high school students, Kyoto is simply not a good place to go for school trips. So the question is, where will Kyoto students go?

It can't be Tokyo, right? It would corrupt the country kids.

"It seems like we are destined to be together. If we agree on the location, let's go to Kyoto to decide whether Yuna-san is a yuri or not!"

Facing their confused looks, Ito Rin explained the reason.

"If not, just explain it clearly. And for the silver prize, just try again. Yuna-san should be a reasonable person. If the time comes, we two can help talk about it and it won't be a big problem."

"And if that's the case, you have to think carefully about how to get along with her."

After saying that, Ito Rin looked Kumiko up and down, making this schoolmate, whom she privately nicknamed "Uncle", question her life.

Uncle doesn’t refer to his appearance, but Kumiko’s temper.

"I won't say anything more, just understand it yourself."

The lunch break is long, but it is not to be wasted. After setting the time, Ito Rin and Hong Xia, who were still hungry, did not stay in the broadcasting studio and returned to their respective classrooms.

……

Shimokitazawa in autumn should be the most comfortable season of the four seasons. There is not so much pollen like in spring, nor the extreme weather like in summer and winter. In addition to the climate, it also exudes an immersive tranquility.

On Wednesday afternoon, due to Teacher Fujino, Ito Rin was forced to stay and help mark the papers, so she arrived at Fanxing a little late.

As usual, Yamada Ryo was leaning against the wall with her eyes closed to catch up on her sleep. She didn't look like someone who came here to work, but rather had the temperament of a young lady inspecting the stores under her command. Only when her nemesis, the store manager, walked up to her would she wave the broom a few times to deal with it, and as soon as the store manager's sight left her, her old habits would immediately reappear.

Two juniors from Xiuhua High School gathered at the beverage counter, mumbling quietly when there were no customers around.

Hongxia, who was in charge of the front desk today, saw Ito Rin push open the door and come in, so she quickly handed over the work at hand to her and ran to the beverage counter, not knowing what she was whispering to.

"Liang-chan, it's just the two of us again."

Yamada Ryo opened his eyes, and when he saw it was him, he narrowed his eyes again, his golden pupils full of fatigue, "Yes."

"Did you study English last night? But Mr. Fujino told me that you were always sleeping in English class. Why are you still so sleepy?"

When grading the papers, the teacher suddenly talked about Yamada Ryo, and also saw that their relationship was almost like an open relationship, and hinted that Ito Rin could control her.

The idea is beautiful, but the reality is very skinny. Ryo Yamada, who likes freedom and individuality, generally does not pay much attention to teachings unless he is under financial pressure.

"It's not English." She paused, "I watched a good movie. If you have time, you can go to the cinema and try it."

Yamada Ryo’s favorite movie…I hope it’s not Shark!

"Just the two of us?"

"I'll ask Hongxia later if they want to watch some horror movies."

Okay, it wasn’t really a shark, but this was even more extreme.

Ito Rin handed over a receipt with a smile, and when she turned around, Yamada Ryo was already chatting with Hongxia in the corner of the entrance. Judging from the huge movements of her hands, her attitude should be very clear.

"I'm not really interested in horror movies, but Kita-chan will probably go."

The reason why I brought along Nijixia was to have a companion who could be frightened at any time. That kind of immersive feeling is what two people who are not afraid of ghosts need. If the target was Xiao Kita, a horror movie scene might really happen to Ito Rin.

Don’t do that kind of thing!

This is obviously a movie for two people, so don't insert a third party into it.

Chapter 18: Little Blackie, now you’ve shown your chicken feet!

On the second to last day of the week, Ito Rin made an appointment with Nijigao and prepared to take Goto to Shinjuku.

After she bought a pedal worth NT$200,000 on impulse, Ito Rin was thinking about how to help her recover some of the losses. Fortunately, Bochi had severe social anxiety, and when he went shopping alone, he chose familiar stores.

It was after the campus festival. Because the Heika guitar was damaged, in order not to delay training and choosing a spare one, they brought little Bochi to find this music store.

Hongxia is very familiar with their employees, and Ito Rin has also made many phone calls to them, and the responses she received were quite satisfactory.

It is still impossible to refund the original price, but it is good enough to be able to recover most of the losses.

After picking up Ijichi Kouka, who was dressed simply but youthfully, downstairs, they headed towards Shimokitazawa Station.

"We're meeting at Shinjuku?"

Today, classmate Hongxia had a pink ladies' bag slung over her shoulder, and her long white legs were visible under her knee-length skirt, and she was wearing blue cloth shoes.

There are no eye-catching colors, but it gives people a comfortable feeling.

Ito Rin looked away and nodded. There was a direct route from Kanagawa to Shinjuku, so there was no need to stop and meet up in Shimokitazawa.

The train was a little empty on a holiday morning. It was not a long journey, so they didn't talk much. It was just that when Ito Rin, who was standing in front of her, occasionally missed Hongxia's sight, both of them couldn't help but smile.

They were silent all the way, and the broadcast in the tram reminded them.

"We've arrived at Shinjuku Station."

On the platform, there was a girl with long pink hair, wearing a strange outfit of sportswear and a short skirt. She was carrying a huge bag on her back, her long bangs almost covered her eyes, and she was wearing a mask on her face, completely eliminating the desire of others to peek.

Goto Ichiri, who had been standing here for some time, lowered his head. Every time a train from Shimokitazawa passed by, he would look up, looking for the person he was waiting for.

And this time, the wait was apparently over.

"Ah, little Pochi!" Hongxia, who had just got off the car, found the girl wearing a skirt over her sports jacket and shouted excitedly.

"Ah...hello, seniors."

"I'm sorry you've been waiting for a long time." Hongxia rushed to her side, took little Pochi's hand, and asked with concern.

"No, actually I just arrived too."

In any case, she wasn't very good at dealing with the fringe members of the band.

"Let's go. We have other things to do after returning the things."

Ito Rin didn't elaborate on what exactly happened, but little Pochi became active and took the initiative to walk in front and lead the way.

This was her only way to become rich again from being poor! It was also the easiest way for her to end her working relationship with Fanxing, so she couldn't make any mistakes!

Matsui Music Row, Shinjuku District.

"welcome."

The receptionists at the front desk shouted out familiar words, and when they saw the familiar figures coming in, their faces were filled with sincere smiles.

"So it's you, Hongxia. No wonder I'm in such a good mood today."

"Sister Hexi, thank you for your help."

The staff member known as Sister Hexi exchanged a few words with the boy who had called her several times to harass her, then glanced at the child squeezed between them.

She has a good memory, and with the help of these two people, she can still remember clearly the child who bought so many effects pedals at one time.

At that time, she actually recognized that this was the child who came with Hongxia to buy a guitar, but after persuading him several times and finding no effect, she just left it alone.

You can't just turn away business that comes to your door, right?

"I'm going to call Manager Matsui. Please wait here for a moment."

Ito Rin nodded and helped Xiao Boqi take out the effects devices from the backpack.

No matter how small the store is, matters involving returns are not decided by the front desk. Otherwise, if the accounts don't match, someone will be in trouble.

While waiting for the responsible person to arrive, Ito Rin and Hong Xia surrounded little Pochi on both sides and helped her with the lesson.

"Even if you want to attract fans, don't spend all your money."

"If Goto-san wants to attract traffic, you can try using your Guitar Hero account. It will be more useful than posting videos showing off your new instrument."

After hearing that he could increase his fan base, Pochi's eyes widened and he looked at Ito-senpai with longing.

Fans! Likes! And compliments!

Come more!

"In the future, you can promote your Twitter account at the end or in the comments of new videos you post on video sites. Most people use several sites at the same time. Fans who really like you will probably follow you after discovering a new place. Didn't Hongxia say that the followers you gained after posting your instrumental videos are probably also fans of Guitar Hero?"

"But the premise for doing this is that you have to produce new videos steadily. We don't have anything important to do recently. If you need me, can I help with the ensemble?"

Goto Ichiri quickly recorded the details told by his predecessor on his mobile phone, including how to inadvertently reveal his Twitter account, what to do when discovered, and the publicity language after being completely exposed.

Senior Ito, you are so powerful that it's almost unfamiliar!

Not only Xiao Boqi, Hong Xia, listening to him describing various techniques in vivid language, almost suspected that he had taken some online publicity work in private.

"Then, little Pochi, you repeat the process." After teaching the technique, Ito Rin pointed at Goto Ichiri like a teacher giving a random test in class.

"Ah...oh!"

Looking at the densely packed records on the memo, Goto Ichiri, who usually had to hide in the cracks when he was checked, felt a rare surge of heroic spirit in his heart.

She will also have a day to be the master of the city!

"The first step is to find someone to praise my Twitter account in the comment section and then belittle my side."

Ito Rin added: "Change your name first while you still have few followers on Twitter."
