Problem Girls Strategy

Just as the two were having an intimate conversation in the living room, the sound of a door opening was heard in the entrance hall.

"We're back!" Hong Xia kept spinning the key on her index finger and walked ahead: "Wow, why are you guys driving a sticky car again?"

"Mmmmm!!!" Goto Ichiri waved his arms and legs, hoping that they could rescue him from the clutches of the great devil Jiang Zao, but unfortunately it was taken as a greeting.

"Pochi-chan left just in time. Things came up right after she left the company." Kita Ikuyo was not surprised and put her briefcase away. "It's a pity that I didn't get to eat Jiang Zao's meal. The food in that restaurant is not very delicious. Ryo-senpai will also make a mistake in his recommendation one day."

"Tsk, it smells pretty good outside." Liang bit his thumb unhappily, "Blacklist that restaurant!"

"I'm going to take a shower first, who will pick me up after me?"

"Me!" Kita Ikuyo raised her hand and tugged at her collar. "I went to many places to discuss cooperation today. I felt I was sweating a lot."

Hong Xia made an "OK" gesture and went back to the room to get clothes: "Okay, then Liang will be the third one, and let the loving couple wash last."

Chapter 137 End the Fantasy and Prepare to Enter the Stage

Liang was wearing pajamas and wiping his wet hair with a towel. He said to the two who were still greasy, "Pochi-chan, it's your turn to take a bath."

Goto Ichiri pushed Jiang Zao away with all her strength. Her lips were red and swollen, and a little numb and swollen. She licked her dry lips with the tip of her tongue, and there was still a hint of spring in her blue eyes.

Jiang Zao smiled evilly and pressed his forehead against hers: "Pochi-chan, are you willing to pay attention to me now?"

"You just like to bully me!"

"Of course!"

Seeing his smug look, Goto Ichiri punched his chest with his delicate little fist: "I'm going to take a shower, let me get up."

"Don't you want to take a shower together?"

"I won't take a shower with you."

"Why? We are married."

"Even if we're getting married, this...this kind of thing can't be done just by saying it, Jiang Zao, you big pervert!"

"Hehe, this is not up to you!" Jiang Zao raised the corner of his mouth, used both arms to pick up Goto Ichiri, and took her into the bathroom in two steps.

"Waaaaah! Jiang Zao, put me down!"

"No, I must take a bath with you today."

"Please, please let me wash alone, okay? I will reward you in the evening."

"Only children make choices, adults I want them all!"

"Ahhh~~"

Goto Ichiri's face flushed unnaturally, and saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. Hongxia tugged at Jiang Zao's clothes and asked him uncertainly: "Pochi-chan...are you lost in your own world?"

"That should be the case. I just don't know what she is thinking...her smile is so... um... special." Jiang Zao reluctantly used the word "special" to describe his girlfriend's current expression. If he had to use a more appropriate word, it would only be "nympho".

"Pochi-chan! Pochi-chan! Come back to your senses, it's our turn to play."

"Oh, okay, okay." Goto Ichiri was pushed awake by Hongxia. She wiped her saliva and her face gradually turned red until it was about to bleed, making everyone even more curious about what she fantasized about in her own personal world.

The five people came to the side aisle of the stage and looked at the brightly lit center of the stage. The band on it was covering the most popular song of the moment and the audience's response was also very good.

"How can people wave glow sticks during a band performance?" Liang complained about the outrageous behavior of the audience. This is not a concert, the right thing to do is to jump and dance along with the band!

"Hmm... I'm suddenly so nervous!" Kita Yu shrank his neck, clasped his hands in front of his chest and pursed his lips.

"Kita, take a deep breath!" Hong Xia was as calm as a veteran who had experienced countless big scenes. After comforting Kita Yudai, she turned to look at Goto Ichiri: "Pochi-chan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Goto Ichiri answered firmly in a hoarse voice, but unfortunately her heartbeat, which was several degrees louder than the drums on the stage, had already exposed her nervousness.

Liang crossed his arms and looked puzzled: "Why did the drums of this band suddenly become so loud?"

"Po, Pochi-chan, take a deep breath too!"

"Breathe in... breathe out... breathe in... breathe out..."

Goto Ichiri took deep breaths according to Kita Ikuyo's rhythm, but the effect was not very good. At this time, Jiang Zao, her boyfriend, had to take action.

He gently held Goto Ichiri in his arms like a mother coaxing her child, patting her back rhythmically with his right hand and humming a lullaby.

"Why a lullaby?" Liang questioned whether this would be effective and suggested replacing the lullaby with the band's new song.

"Shh!" Hong Xia made a silencing gesture to her: "Pochi-chan seems to have really fallen asleep."

"Does this set of movements have some special magic?" Kita Ikuyo blinked, curiously observing Jiang Zao's movements to coax her to sleep.

The student council member came over and shouted to a few people, "Everyone who finished the band, it will be your turn soon, please be ready!"

"Ah, I, I fell asleep?" Goto Ichiri was awakened and asked Jiang Zao in a daze.

"It's okay, just keep sleeping."

"OK, good night."

Hongxia hurriedly pulled Goto Ichiri out of Jiang Zao's "top-grade Simmons mattress": "Don't really let Pochi-chan continue to sleep, what if she gets sleepy?"

"Sorry, I saw you were all very nervous, so I made a little joke." Jiang Zao laughed and saw that they were about to go on stage, so he prepared to leave here and go to the audience seats.

"Jiang Zao, wait a minute!" Hong Xia called him, "Everyone, put your hands together and shout for encouragement!"

"Yeah, no problem."

"Ijichi-senpai, that's a great idea!"

“It feels so childish…”

"Everyone, stretch out your left hands!" Hong Xia didn't care about anything else. Cheering and encouraging was a must at a time like this. After she finished speaking, she stretched out her left hand and placed it in the center of the five people.

Kita Ikuyo pulled Goto Ichiri to put his hand on top, Hongxia pulled the reluctant Liang to put his hand on top, and finally it was Jiang Zao.

"Let's cheer together! Let's enjoy together! Ready... 3, 2, 1!"

"Oh!" X5

.....

Behind the red curtain of the stage, the four members of the band were doing their final warm-up before the performance. Hong Xia waved the drumsticks and hit the drum casually. She was in a very passionate state at the moment, and the drumsticks shuttled back and forth between her fingers several times.

Liang lowered her head and gently plucked the bass. Her condition was the least worrying. After all, she was a strong bassist who had experienced performances as silent as a funeral hall. There was no need to worry that she would panic.

Kita Ikuyo rubbed her cheeks with the tips of her palms, moving her lips with a "dululudululu" sound, and stared at the microphone with a serious look.

As the lead singer, I can't sing the wrong lyrics!

Goto Ichiri stood there holding her guitar like a stone statue, motionless, until the host announced the show and the incandescent light above her head came on. Only then did she raise her head, her eyes full of determination.

"Next up is -- the closing band!"

As the red curtain slowly rose upwards, the sound waves that seemed to be blocked by it before finally surged onto the stage like a tide.

What met Goto Ichiri's eyes was an audience number far beyond everyone's imagination and a large number of unfamiliar faces. Her breathing paused briefly, and then she exhaled heavily, as if to let out the tension in her heart.

It’s okay. I’m no longer the same person I was at the beginning. This level of number of people is no problem at all!

She tightened the guitar in her hands; the cold touch was like clear spring water cooling her heated nerves. Goto Ichiri blinked, and the voices from the audience constantly calling "Kita" reached her ears, making her a little depressed.

As expected, most of them came to see Kita...

Hongxia, who had been following Goto Ichiri from behind, finally put her mind at ease.

That’s great, I didn’t expect there were so many people in the audience. Pochi-chan didn’t faint, she has really made great progress!

Chapter 138: Extreme Joy Leads to Sorrow

"Sister!" Goto Jiri's sweet and clear voice was not disturbed by the noisy shouts at all and reached Goto Ichiri's ears.

Goto Ichiri was cheered up and looked for her sister and family under the stage. It didn't take her much effort to find them because Goto Jiri was too conspicuous now.

She was riding on Jiang Zao's shoulders, waving at him with an innocent smile on her face, and her parents were standing beside them.

Naoki Goto was so excited that tears came to his eyes while holding the camera. Fortunately, his hand holding the camera and his shaking body seemed to be two independent entities and were not affected at all. He pointed the camera steadily at his daughter.

Goto Michiyo waved a small black round fan that she got from somewhere and cheered along with Goto Jiri.

"Yili! Come on!" X2

The familiar voices made Goto Ichiri open her eyes wide. She would not remember these two voices wrongly. Those were the voices of her fans when she was performing on the street!

They are here too?!

Jiang Zao raised his eyebrows when he heard the voice.

If Bochi-chan were a host, these two would at least be the top two on the list.

Wait, as a boyfriend, I should be number one on the list, so these two true fans have to be ranked second and third.

Goto Ichiri kept seeing familiar faces in the crowd. People from his class also came to watch the performance as promised. The class monitor even took out a small banner from somewhere with the words "Come on, Ending Band" written on it.

My popularity is not as low as you think...

Goto Ichiri was secretly delighted in his heart, feeling a little narcissistic.

"Hey!" A drunken voice was called out, and just by listening to it one could imagine the owner of the voice was drunk. Hiroi Kikuri's face was flushed and half of her body was lying on the stage floor. She exuded the stench of alcohol that made people stay away. Ijichi Hoshika stood beside her, more like to supervise this drunkard than to watch the performance with her.

Hiroi Kikuri drunkenly raised the transparent glass bottle placed beside her to Goto Ichiri and showed off happily: "Look~ Look, I made an exception today and drank a glass of wine! Hehehehehe~"

"You better play something cool! Yeah! Hey hey hey!"

Goto Ichiri looked away in embarrassment. Hiroi Kikuri's behavior made her socially anxious, so she pretended that she didn't know this person at all.

"Hey, Pochi-chan? Why did you look away?"

"Hello, hey, hey? Can you see me? Pochi-chan~ It's me, Kikuri-sama~"

Hiroi Kikuri twisted like an inflated balloon swaying in the wind, trying to draw Goto Ichiri's attention back.

"You guy, are you done yet? Just wait for the show to start!" Unable to bear it any longer, Ijichi Hoshige gave her a standing cross armbar.

The sharp pain in her shoulder woke Hiroi Kikuri up and she begged for mercy: "Senior, I was wrong! I was wrong!"

Ijichi Hoshige did not let her go just because she begged for mercy. Instead, she increased the strength of her hands. With a crisp "click" sound, Hiroi Kikuri became completely quiet.

"Ahaha..." Facing the small theater under the stage, Kita Ikuyo laughed dryly twice, took a step forward and spoke into the microphone for her opening remarks.

"Well, our ending band is the band that usually performs outside of school."

“I hope today’s performance will leave wonderful memories for everyone present and for ourselves!”

“If anyone has become interested in our band through this show, please come to the performance space and see our show!”

There was warm applause and cheers from the audience. Kita Ikuyo closed her eyes and took a deep breath, then opened her eyes with excitement and nervousness: "Here is the first song of the closing band!"

"Tick, tick, tick, tick."

Hong Xia raised the drumsticks and crossed them in the air and tapped them four times, indicating that the performance had officially begun. The sound of the electric guitar first came from the speakers, followed by the sound of drums that made people nod their heads and tap their feet involuntarily.

Kita Ikuyo raised her hands and clapped them to interact with the audience. As the prelude ended, she and Ryotsu put their hands on the instruments and began to play.

"Let's just treat this feeling of embarrassment and weariness as the effect of the weather."

"The sun also hid, pretending not to know."

"The creaking and shaking overcrowded train was head-on with the urgent train."

The audience members in the audience who didn't know the closing band and didn't come to see Kita Ikuyo were swaying to the beat. The melody and rhythm of this song were so catchy that people couldn't help but sway along.

“The level of this band is unexpectedly high.”

"Yeah, I knew Kita was a great singer, but I didn't expect the other members of her band to be so great as well."

People who had come just to listen to Kita Ikuyo singing were also amazed by the ending band. Goto Naoki could hardly suppress the ecstasy in his heart as he listened to the continuous praises around him. He was holding a camera but it was not convenient for him to sway to the rhythm to vent his emotions, so he could only pat Jiang Zao's shoulder heavily.

In order not to affect the experience of the audience behind him, Jiang Zao took Goto Jiri off his shoulders before the performance began. His father-in-law suddenly patted his shoulder. He looked at him in confusion, only to see Goto Naoki thanking him with tears in his eyes.

"Thank you for your continued support for my daughter."

"Father-in-law, there's no need to be so polite between us."

Naoki Goto said "OK" twice and continued recording.

The low tail note of the bass announced the end of the song, and unprecedented cheers surrounded the girls on the stage.

"Thank you very much!" Kita Ikuyo was full of excitement. She didn't expect the first song to receive such a good response. She became more lively: "Just now it was our original song "I Will Not Forget"!"
