Problem Girls Strategy

The three members of the band sat around a small table in the STARRY store. After preparing a glass of juice for each of them, Hong Xia raised her right hand and said, "Okay, then the first session of the band members' meeting officially begins!"

"Applause! Clapper! Clapper!" The young and beautiful girl's appearance as energetic as ever made Pochi-chan envious.

"Although I want to chat about something casually, but when I think about it carefully, it seems that we are not familiar with each other yet, and I don't know what topic to start with." Hong Xia, who started the conversation, smiled awkwardly.

Liang, who had been prepared, took out a large dice with words written on all six sides from under the table: "I knew this would happen, so I prepared this thing."

"Oh~ It's a good idea indeed." Hong Xia praised. Deciding the topic in this way is indeed a useful method when everyone is not familiar with each other.

"It seems like something dangerous has sneaked in. Is it really okay?" Goto Ichiri looked at the word "bungee jumping" written on one side of the dice, and sweat dripped down his forehead.

The other two started rolling the dice without caring.

“I’m really looking forward to what topics will come up!”

After the dice rolled on the ground for a while, the side with "school topic" written on it faced up.

"School topic! Let's talk about school in short!" Hong Xia announced happily while holding up the dice.

"Please start?" Liang said, staring at Goto Ichiri.

"Eh?! Starting with me? Then... then, are you two from the same school?" Goto Ichiri asked, as he felt that the uniforms they were wearing were somewhat similar.

"Yes, Shimokitazawa High School."

“We chose both of them because they are close to home.”

"As I remember, Pochi-chan is from Wutian High School, right? Isn't your home near the school?" Hongxia asked curiously.

"Ah... I live outside the county, two hours one way." Goto Ichiri turned his head away, as if he was asked about a topic he didn't want to mention.

"Two hours..." Hongxia and Liang were both shocked by this unimaginable time.

"Why?" Hongxia really couldn't understand why Goto Ichiri chose Muten High School, which was two hours away from home.

"Because I hope no one in high school knows about my past."

"Stop here and don't say any more." Hongxia quickly interrupted Goto Ichiri's increasingly gloomy words.

The three of them chatted for a while based on the topics on the dice, and woke up Goto Ichiri, who was lost in his own little world when he was asked about his favorite style of songs. Hongxia suggested that the band write their own songs after finding a lead singer. Ryo would compose the music, and Pochi-chan was more concerned about the lyrics, so she was asked to be responsible for writing the lyrics.

"So what are you responsible for?"

"Hey!" Stumped by Liang's question, Hong Xia threw the dice cutely and raised the upward side: "Okay, let's talk about the quota next."

"Is that how you escape..."

In the subsequent explanation of the two, Goto Ichiri also understood what Hongxia meant by the quota. When a band performs in a performance space, there will be a prior quota. If the sales amount of the audience exceeds the quota, the band and the performance space will share it. Conversely, if the band does not meet the quota, the shortfall will need to be made up by the band members themselves.

"In other words, you need to pay out of your own pocket to build up your reputation." Liang concluded simply and clearly.

Although there were many audiences at the band's first performance, they were all school friends that Hong Xia had worked hard to attract. As a result, their first performance was not outstanding, and could even be said to be very bad. Those friends probably would not come again and waste their money.

Next time, they will need to prepare enough money to hold a performance. Liang has no friends, and Pochi-chan can't be relied on either, so Hongxia proposed a plan.

"In order to earn the quota money, equipment money and other expenses, let's work together!"

"Okay." Goto Ichiri, who hadn't reacted yet, agreed subconsciously. When she came to her senses, she screamed at the loudest volume so far in fear: "Part-time job?!"

When he thought about having to face all kinds of people in society while working, and having to communicate with them, and even his panic expression when facing people might be uploaded to the Internet and laughed at, Goto Ichiri took out the piggy bank, pushed it to Hongxia and said in a crying voice: "This is the wedding money my mother saved for me, please use it, please don't let me work part-time."

"How could you possibly accept such important money?" Hongxia slapped the evil hand that Kailiang stretched out. With her comfort, Goto Ichiri, who was not good at saying no, finally agreed to work with them in STARRY.

As Goto Ichiri was putting the piggy bank back into his bag, his elbow accidentally hit the dice, which rolled to the ground and had "Love Topic" written on the side facing up.

"Ah... this topic..." Hong Xia looked embarrassed: "It seems that we don't have anything to talk about in this regard."

"Hehe, I'm still single!"

"Is this something to be proud of?" Hongxia complained to Liang who was inexplicably proud.

"Ah... that" Goto Ichiri raised his hand and said timidly: "Actually... I have a boyfriend."

"Crack." Hongxia and Liang were instantly turned into stone statues, their wide eyes full of disbelief.

The two looked at Goto Ichiri up and down as if she were an alien, making her feel uncomfortable. After a long time, Hongxia said earnestly, "Pochi-chan, you can't indulge in the fantasy world."

"Yeah, yeah." Liang Meng on the side nodded in agreement.

"It's not my imaginary boyfriend." Goto Ichiri, who was rarely strong, had to clear his name: "It's Jiang Zao. Haven't you seen him? The boy from yesterday."

"Now that you mention it." Hongxia had a very deep impression of the boy who came over yesterday to support Goto Ichiri. Thinking about the interaction between the two, it seemed, probably, a bit like that between a couple... right?

"I can't believe that Pochi-chan actually has a boyfriend." Liang still couldn't believe it.

"Tell me about what happened between you two!" Hong Xia urged with great interest.

"Hehe." With a show-off attitude, Goto Ichiri told her two companions the story between her and Jiang Zao. As the saying goes, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, the hero confessed his love to Jiang Zao after saving the beauty, he was a great cook, gentle and considerate, all the advantages were attributed to Jiang Zao by her.

Goto Ichiri, who was completely different from his usual self, talked incessantly about his boyfriend. Hongxia and Liang could only sigh and say, perhaps this is the power of love.

"So what stage have you reached?" Liang's words were like a magical spell. Goto Ichiri, who was eloquent the previous second, seemed to be strangled by the neck the next second, his face flushed, and he stammered for a long time without uttering a word.

"Are you holding hands?"

Goto Ichiri thought about it and thought that his previous close teaching with Jiang Zao in the Problem Children Countermeasures Department could be considered as a collaboration, so he nodded.

"Oh~" Hong Xia made a teasing sound.

"Did you kiss?" Liang Bubu asked urgently.

Goto Ichiri's head immediately shook like a rattle.

"Eh~" Hong Xia was a little disappointed. It was rare for someone in the band to have a boyfriend, but they had never even kissed.

"There are people watching me at school, so I go straight home after school." Goto Ichiri explained shyly. She was too embarrassed to get close to Jiang Zao during breaks, so she just stayed in the library as usual. During lunch break, Gabriel was also with her in the strategy department, and she went straight home after school. She never contacted him on the weekends. Jiang Zao did ask her out once, but she refused because she didn't want to go out. When she thought about it, she really rarely had time to be alone with Jiang Zao.

"Wow, Pochi-chan, your boyfriend is so pitiful." Hongxia shed tears of sympathy for Jiang Zao. He had a girlfriend who was socially anxious, not intimate with him, and even had never dated him. It was really pitiful.

"A-choo!" Jiang Zao, who was playing with his mobile phone at home, sneezed loudly and almost dropped the phone in his hand.

"Is there still a love rival?" Liang was more concerned about the girl who always came to disturb Goto Ichiri and Jiang Zao during lunch break.

"Huh? It shouldn't be Gabriel, Jiang Zao said her biggest hobby is playing games." Goto Ichiri had never thought about it this way. Knowing that Gabriel didn't have many friends and stayed at home playing games all day, she felt that she and Gabriel were companions.

Chapter 10 Gabriel: My best friend!

"Pochi-chan, you're already working part-time at STARRY." Jiang Zao received a text message from Goto Ichiri saying that she had started working part-time. She recalled the general plot and knew that they were almost about to find Ms. Guiqulaixi and start preparing for the next concert.

When the time comes, let's call Gabriel and Vinate over to show their support. I don't know if Gabriel is willing to come out.

Although Jiang Zao now uses lunch every day to make Gabriel go to school on time, Jiang Zao has heard about her performance in class from Vinate. It is common for her to sleep in class and use books to cover herself when playing games.

Can he really bring Gabriel back on track? Jiang Zao was a little confused for a moment. The punishment for mission failure soon made him full of energy. There are always more solutions than problems. This is related to the happiness of his future wife, so he can't give up.

"Ah! The person who fainted that day!" Satanya pointed at Jiang Zao and shouted.

"Huh?" Jiang Zao stopped as he was about to go back home after shopping.

"Why did you disappear that day? You made this great devil and my men make a wasted trip." Satanya came to Jiang Zao angrily and questioned him.

It turned out that the first voice he heard on the day he first arrived was hers. Jiang Zao had always thought it was an illusion.

Although Satania looked a little angry, Jiang Zao knew that this stupid girl was just like Vinate, a good kid from the simple hell of Mingfeng. He explained to Satania: "I'm sorry, actually I was rescued by Gabriel that day."

"Hmm... As expected, it's Gabriel, my most powerful rival!" Satania immediately showed an expression of approval.

"I'll give you this pineapple bun as a thank you gift." Jiang Zao, who knew that Satania's favorite snack was pineapple buns, took out a piece of bread from the plastic bag in his hand and handed it to her.

"Oh, you are quite sensible. What's your name?" Satania seemed particularly happy when being fed. After all, this was her favorite food.

"My name is Jiang Zao."

"Ahem." Satania swallowed the delicious pineapple bun in her mouth, with crumbs still on the corner of her mouth. She put one hand on her waist and held her head high: "I am the future great devil Kurumizawa - Satania - McWill, you can just call me Lady Satania."

"Woof woof!" A black shadow rushed towards the pineapple bun in Satania's hand at lightning speed.

"Go away!" Jiang Zao hit the puppy on the head that was trying to snatch the pineapple bun, and then kicked it on the butt to drive it away. He had been annoyed with this dog in the animation, and now he finally had a chance to beat him up.

"Wow, you actually drove away that beast... no, that troublesome little dog." Satania looked at Jiang Zao with gratitude.

I don’t know what’s wrong with this dog. It’s not afraid of me, a big devil, and keeps snatching pineapple buns from me. Since I came to the human world, I don’t know how many times it has snatched my snacks.

"It's just a small matter, Lady Satania." Jiang Zao put his right hand on his chest and saluted Satania in a gentlemanly manner.

"Just call... Satania. After I officially become the great devil, you can call me Lady Satania." Satania felt a little ashamed because she didn't expect Jiang Zao to call her "Lady".

"Ah~ What a pleasant scene." Raphael, who was hiding behind a nearby electric pole, had an extremely smooth face, as if she had enjoyed the highest level of care, and she showed a contented smile.

I didn't expect that when I went out for a walk, I would encounter a demon being chased by a dog. I followed the dog and watched the show all the way, and even met a human with the scent of Gabriel on him. It was a day full of surprises.

"Satonia, do you want to come to my house for a visit? Gabriel is here too." Jiang Zao made the invitation.

"Gabriel is in your house?" This human being is not simple, as he can even invite an angel into his home. Satania feels that she cannot underestimate Jiang Zao.

“We are neighbors.”

"Is that so? Since you are so sincere, then lead the way!" Satania waved her hand, signaling Jiang Zao to set off quickly.

"I want to go too!" Raphael, who didn't want to miss the fun, also jumped out from behind the telephone pole.

"who are you?"

"I'm Gabriel's friend, Baiyu-Raphael-Enzworth." Raphael answered Satania's question with a smile: "Does Jiang Zao agree?"

"We are all friends anyway, I'll call Vinate over." Jiang Zao didn't care. It was just a matter of having a few more people eat. But the lunch that Gabriel was looking forward to might end up being a hotpot.

"You actually know Vinate?" Satania was surprised.

"I met him through Gabriel not long ago."

"Student Jiang Zao knows so many people." Raphael joked. It turns out that all the angels and demons at Wutian High School know Jiang Zao, a human being. It really makes people want to find out more.

Jiang Zao returned to his home with the new angel and devil. Before he could ring the doorbell to ask Gabriel to open the door for him, Gabriel angrily slammed the door open: "Hey! Why did Jiang Zao call all these people over?"

"I happened to meet your acquaintances, so I invited them over." Jiang didn't understand why Gabriel was so angry.

"Oh, so Gabriel doesn't welcome us to come over to play?" Raphael seemed to have guessed something and teased, "This isn't your home, right, Satania?"

"That's right, why doesn't Gabriel let us come to Jiang Zao's house to play?" Satania had no idea that she was being used as a gun, and nodded in agreement with Raphael.

"Tsk." Gabriel was speechless and smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. She had finally persuaded Jiang Zao to make her a heartier meal, but in the end, three people came when she just asked him to go out to buy vegetables. She was more angry than the fact that lunch turned into hotpot than that their time alone was disturbed.

Recently, she felt more and more that she could not live without Jiang Zao's life. As long as he was at home, she would drag him to play games together and complain about each other's skills. When they were not playing games, they would watch animations together and discuss the plot, the protagonist's personality, and how the plot was designed.

Although she was not very willing to clean the room, Jiang Zao would always come over and force her to clean together, which was not unacceptable to her. Several times when Vinate came to play, she even shed tears of excitement when she saw the clean room, thinking that the former model student Gabriel had returned.

As long as she stays with Jiang Zao, she can actually do things that she didn't want to do before, provided that Jiang Zao stays with her. As her first friend in the world, Vinate is her second friend she made on the first day of school while pretending to be a model student.

Jiang Zao never showed any disgust because of her depravity. He was much better than those angel classmates who stopped associating with her after knowing that she had become friends with the devil. Although he sometimes felt headache because of his laziness, his eyes would always contain the warm look in his heart on the day they first met.

This is what is called a true friend, Gabriel thought.

"Come in, Vinate is waiting inside." Gabriel stopped arguing with Raphael and Satania and turned to walk into the house.

Squinting his eyes and looking at Gabriel's back, Raphael felt that a guess in his mind seemed to be more accurate, and he couldn't help but smile even more happily.

Jiang Zao took out the gas stove and set up the pot. He and Vinate took out the ingredients they had just cut from the kitchen: "I don't know if you can eat spicy food, so I specially prepared a shabu-shabu pot."

"Jiang Zao's knife skills are amazing." Vinate was helping in the kitchen, but when she saw his clean and neat movements when handling the ingredients, she exclaimed in admiration.

"We are all friends. No need to be so polite. Just call me Jiang Zao. Same for Satania and Raphael."

Gabriel couldn't wait to pick up a piece of beef and put it into the clear soup pot, then dipped it in the sauce and put it into her mouth. The tender and juicy beef paired with the sauce specially prepared by Jiang Zao made every taste bud on her tongue cheer, and Gabriel showed an expression of great enjoyment.

Seeing Gabriel's look, the others all picked up a piece of beef and ate it. As the only angel among the four whose living expenses had not been reduced but increased by 30%, Raphael had naturally eaten high-quality ingredients such as Wagyu beef.

She looked at the Wagyu beef, which basically made up half of the hot pot ingredients, and fell into deep thought.

Could it be that Jiang Zao is actually very rich?
