Lonely Rock, Liang is my fiancée

Then, her voice got louder, “I was able to recommend Guitar Hero to big names in the industry and help her achieve her debut!”

After hearing about the debut, Hongxia pinched her chin thoughtfully, while Yamada Ryo was very interested and pulled Pochi and shook him.

"We're about to debut, so does that mean we don't need to spend money on musical instruments anymore?"

"Why do I feel like I'm in a dream? We can debut after we come back." Xiao Kita stepped forward to join in the fun. Looking at Senior Liang's serious face, she suddenly felt ashamed.

Is she now considered the mistress who destroyed the relationship of her seniors?

Little Pochi who was squeezed in the middle was waving his arms triumphantly. If he could make his debut, could he use this as an excuse to drop out of high school?

She didn't want to stay in this damn high school for even a single day longer.

Ito Rin walked up to Sato Aiko, still maintaining a skeptical attitude.

"A no-name editor like you who has fallen to the point of looking for news about high school students doesn't look trustworthy at all."

Wrong chapter posted, this is 38

Chapter 39: Box...Box of deterrence!

Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.

Sato Aiko, who was essentially an unknown writer for a second-rate magazine, had a distorted face and started to flutter around with her teeth and claws bared. Unfortunately, she was lifted up in the air and had no deterrent effect at all.

"So your help is of no use at all. If Pochi-chan wants to make his debut, he can rely entirely on his own strength." Ito Rin rubbed his temple and pointed at her like an elementary school student catching a murderer.

"And you just said it was Guitar Hero's debut, not the end of the band, which means you only have eyes for her and want Goto-san to abandon all of us."

The other members who were still celebrating over there finally realized that the person Miss Poison was referring to was only Little Pochi from the beginning.

"Well, I don't have much ability, but our editor-in-chief knows a lot of big names in the industry and has a lot of resources." Sato Aiko explained seriously before she realized where the problem was.

"As for the ending band, from the live performance I saw, it was just an ordinary high school band, it felt like the level of a common Shimokitazawa band, and you guys weren't really doing it seriously at all."

Sato Aiko has seen many bands of similar level. Most of them were developed from the school's light music clubs and were active on high school campuses, and then disappeared as they went on to higher education.

Even though The End Band is an off-campus band and has a relatively strong resistance to this, they are still not up to the level of Guitar Hero and this keyboard player.

Since it was just an amateur hobby in the beginning, why bother pursuing the goal of debuting? Wouldn't it be better to simply place the outstanding members into the broader industry?

The two of them probably found it inconvenient to refuse because they were from the same school, and in fact they had long been fed up with these stupid companions.

Otherwise, how could this Ito classmate notice that she herself has very few resources.

"Eh..." Captain Hongxia was once again criticized by others for not taking the band seriously. After experiencing Ito Rin's repeated criticisms, she no longer had any psychological fluctuations, but was still very depressed.

What exactly did they fail to do well that people kept saying this to them over and over again?

"Whether we play music seriously or not has nothing to do with a writer like you who relies on gossip to attract attention. As for debuting... Goto-san, what is your choice?" Ito Rin looked at her coldly and shouted to the little Pochi over there.

"what……"

Little Pochi, who had been lowering his head to enjoy the compliments when the topic of debut was discussed, raised his head in a daze, and after seeing everyone's expectant and encouraging eyes, and Miss Poison's attentive gaze, he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say.

Will her damn nervousness ever be cured?

"Hey, are you guys, a group that isn't working towards the goal of being a professional band, really going to ruin Guitar Hero's future? And you, if you develop in a serious band, you will definitely achieve better results!"

After realizing that Guitar Hero teacher actually began to hesitate, Sato Aiko, who had been confident that no one would refuse her debut invitation, finally panicked and shouted at the top of her lungs all the advantages she could think of.

Didn't everyone form a band for better development? Now that the opportunity is in front of you, choosing to leave your teammates is the most appropriate choice. Why are you still hesitating?

"You're so noisy!" Ichichi Xingge, who was expecting Pochi's answer, gave her a slap impatiently to let her know the dangers of society.

The smiling PA lady also came over, operating her mobile phone in her hand.

Everyone else's eyes were focused on Xiao Boqi, and even the two fans were infected by the serious atmosphere and clasped their hands tightly.

“Ah… I, I, I…”

"Goto-san, don't worry about what we think. Just tell us your true opinion. If you really want to debut, we won't blame you."

Seeing that she was nervous and unable to speak again, Ito Rin encouraged her.

It is human instinct to seek better development, just like when he left Akita Prefecture and came to Tokyo to study. He did not want to use friendship as a chain to trap people with higher visions.

After all, what that talkative writer said was absolutely right, they still don't look like a professional band.

They are indeed trying to develop new audiences, but are still confined to the campus and the stars. They did go out of Shimokitazawa to perform, but the scale of that music festival was too small and the reputation they created was far from enough.

Ito Rin stared at Goto's wandering gaze, thinking that after this time, it would be time to increase the intensity for everyone.

No matter how shy you are, you have to go on the roadshow, and also participate in several large-scale competitions, preferably ones that allow you to actually go on stage under the attention of everyone.

"I'm not going!"

Hongxia heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Yamada Ryo, stood in front of Xiao Bochi, and planned to throw out the person who was affecting the unity.

"Hey, don't waste your talent, Guitar Hero teacher!" Sato Aiko still didn't give up. Anyway, these people didn't dare to use force. Unless they called the police, she would never run away!

"Pochi-chan has made it so clear, please leave." The manager picked her up and was about to throw Sato Aiko out.

As a result, she grabbed the pole in the exhibition hall and refused to let go even when she was dragged on the ground, with a very stubborn attitude.

"I won't leave until I've said what I want to say."

"Ah la la, it seems like I have to show my true strength." Miss PA squatted in front of her, her eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

"Are you going to use force? Be careful or I'll write bad things about your exhibition hall in the magazine."

"How could that be? We are all civilized people, right, Ms. Sato Aiko?"

As she stared in shock, Miss PA showed her how easy it was to find all the information about a person in modern society, and what strange things could be done with that information in this small island country.

"Besides, a writer like you who spreads rumors at will is bound to offend a lot of people. As long as these things are exposed inadvertently, there should be no need for us to take action."

Hongxia and Yamada Ryo clapped their hands subconsciously, expressing their encouragement that the usually quiet PA lady was actually so handsome.

"Have you found her family's information? Send them a picture of her dressed as a fourteen-year-old and let her have a taste of social death." Ito Rin suggested. Compared to her family, he wanted to know whether Miss PA had hacked into her work group.

Just send this cute photo to the work group. I guess her colleagues can write two or three fake news stories based on it.

"Stop, stop, stop. You guys are awesome. I'm leaving now."

After recalling the news she had fabricated in order to spread the word, Sato Aiko's head shrank and she immediately admitted her mistake.

As she reached the door under their hostile gazes, she suddenly turned around and shouted at Ito Rin and Goto Ichiri.

"Think carefully about my advice, and try to keep my words in a small place in your mind. Don't let your talent rot!"

"Call the police."

"I'm leaving now!"

After the annoying person left, Ito Rin relaxed her waist, faced the dejected Little Pochi and the Ending Band, and smiled confidently.

"Although it's unpleasant to be called a band that isn't [serious], we can't continue to be depressed like this. Goto-san turned down the invitation to debut for everyone, so let the band help her realize her dream!"

Ijichi Hoshika pouted as she looked at their positive scene and was reminded of when she played in a band during college. Except for the richer extracurricular activities, everything else was no different.

Maybe it’s because of her age, but whenever the manager sees scenes like this that bring back memories, she always wants to sigh.

"Manager, it's time to face reality!"

"Shut up, you old woman."

"What? I'm obviously much younger than you. Judging from this skin, I obviously have the advantage."

Today's working hours passed in the bustle and excitement, but even with Ito Rin to ease the atmosphere, a sense of strangeness that had never existed before was inevitable in the band.

Sato Aiko's words that looked down on other band members kept repeating in their ears.

What’s even more disgusting is that these words are true…

"See you tomorrow, everyone. Be safe on your way back, Pochi-chan!"

"Ah...ok."

Goto Ichiri, who was not in good spirits, carried a guitar on her back, hid her face in her scarf, and lowered her head to respond to her senior's concern. After she walked away, the others who were not in a hurry to go home sat by the flower bed in front of the door and started talking.

Ito Rin felt something was wrong. He was obviously a person who was wooed by Sato Aiko, so why didn't she avoid him and just kept him so naturally?

"Why am I here too?" he asked.

The three of them looked at him at the same time. Their emotions were not quite consistent, but the meanings they expressed were very similar.

'Shut up. ’

Being looked at like this by his girlfriend, his second girlfriend, and the captain at the same time, Ito Rin, who was tactful, lowered his head and started playing with the bottle. This was the drink he took away when he left Fanxing, and it became his toy after he drank it.

He is so pitiful~

"This is the current situation. What Miss Duwu said is actually not wrong. Our level is indeed not as good as that of Little Bochi. I wonder if you can accept it." Hong Xia put her hands on her legs, and her tone was not very active.

"It's not us, it's you." Ito Rin argued in her heart, and then kicked the bottle towards the trash can not far away.

boom.

The shrill sound was particularly loud in the darkness, and he cheered in response.

"The ball is in!"

The three of them focused their attention again, and this time their feelings were even stronger. Even the second girlfriend, with whom they had just confirmed their relationship, was about to glare at him.

"...ignore me."

After being interrupted, the three-person discussion group obviously lost interest. Kita Ikuyo smiled and said, "We can't stop the writer from saying what she wants to say. She can just let her say whatever she wants."

"Yeah." Yamada Ryo agreed.

"Then let's set the date for the next live tomorrow!"

"Ah... um." Hongxia didn't expect the meeting to end so quickly. She just looked at Xiao Xiduo's fleeing back, her mouth open but she didn't know what to say.

The two people with the most pressure in the band are probably these two.

Ito Rin squatted on the ground and didn't say anything. He could help ease the atmosphere, but the problem between them was essentially still the gap in strength.

When everyone is a rookie or a master, there will be no such problem. But when a master emerges among the rookies, the situation will become serious.

As for Ito Rin himself, he has no urgent desire to develop in the music industry. The essence of joining the band is to accompany Yamada Ryo, and of course there is no requirement for his strength.

The three girls all had unhappy expressions when they parted. Even Yamada Ryo, who looked indifferent, pulled the scarf around her neck a little higher.

It's because of the cold.

After seeing her off at the crossroads, the two of them walked on the winter streets of Tokyo with the same destination.

"Captain Hongxia, if you have something to say, just say it. If you keep looking at me secretly like this, I will misunderstand." Ito Rin turned sideways and found that she had retracted her gaze, so she teased her with amusement.

"Liang will also misunderstand, right?" Hearing the meaning of his words, Hong Xia lifted the strands of hair that fell to her ears and responded unwillingly.

"…Then just say what you want to say."

"Hmm~"

When he was about to lose his patience, Hong Xia blushed and said, "Do you have a solution for the thing I asked you to do last time?"

I just asked Ito Rin to improve her drum skills last week, and now I'm in a hurry to ask him. Will he feel that I'm rushing him?

But she really needs help.

"Last time? What happened? Please explain it clearly when you speak, or else do you want me to guess?"

Hongxia looked at his smug face, which was clearly intentional, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

"It's just about the drum set. Do you have any good ideas?"

"You're being too loud. That's not the right attitude to ask someone for help."

Her voice immediately lowered, and her eyes and brows looked much softer. "Ito-kun, do you have any good ideas?"

Ito Rin nodded pretentiously, and was very satisfied with her appearance.

"After I got back, I kept thinking about how to help you improve your skills. Then I came up with an idea. If you're really that anxious, come to my house tonight."

Ijichi Hongxia's cheeks suddenly turned red. At this moment, countless scenes that were not suitable for minors to watch flashed through her mind.

Especially late at night, going to the home of a classmate of the opposite sex alone.

Ito Rin, you still dare to say that you have good intentions!

Facing her gaze that seemed to want to eat him, Ito Rin didn't explain much. He said rather firmly, "Come here if you want to make progress." Then he opened the door, waved goodbye to her, and went home.
