Problem Girls Strategy

Amid the screams, Kita Ikuyo calmed down her excitement and began to speak the connecting words as agreed before: "Before starting the next song, I want to introduce myself."

"This is the band leader, drummer, Senior Ijichi Hongxia!" She turned around and stretched out her right hand towards Hongxia.

The audience also cooperated with her and burst into cheers.

"Hey everyone, are you all excited?"

"Oh~"

"Our bassist, Ryo Yamada, once said, 'It's boring to say the closing words at the end of a band's show!' Although I totally disagree with her, until I learn how to have interesting small talk, I'll just do the show announcements!"

"Hahahaha." Laughter broke out from the audience.

“Although the next performance time has not been determined yet, if anyone is interested, they can ask lead singer Kita and guitarist Goto Ichiri!”

"Kita, let's start the next song!"

"Yes." Kita Ikuyo nodded with a brilliant smile, turned around and announced: "Then please listen! The second song is "If I could turn into a constellation"!"

After everyone looked at each other and confirmed that they were all ready, they began to perform a new game. Perhaps because of excessive joy, the strings of Kita Ikuyo's guitar broke in full view of everyone.

Chapter 139: Five of the Four Heavenly Kings are Common Sense

"Fuck!" Jiang Zao couldn't help but curse. He never thought that after helping Goto Ichiri avoid the incident of broken guitar strings, it would happen to Kita Ikuyo instead.

Is this some kind of fateful event?

"Eh!?"

Kita Ikuyo stared at the broken guitar strings, unable to accept the accident for a moment, and stood there in a daze.

How, how could this happen? I've been practicing for such a long time without any problems, why did the guitar string break at this moment?

Is it because I have been practicing frequently during this period?

Why didn't I pay attention to the guitar in my hand when Bochi-chan was checking it that day? !

Kita Ikuyo was caught in a vortex of regret and fear. Everything had seemed to be starting off very well, but in the end she ruined it all because of her hard work in practicing. It was really ironic.

Although they haven't yet entered the part that requires two guitars to play together, it would be impossible for Goto Ichiri to play the entire song solo. Ryo designed it for two guitarists when she composed the song, and she couldn't have anticipated the accident of the lead singer's guitar breaking during the performance.

The other three people saw it and were anxious, but they didn't have any good way to solve the problem. The sudden interruption of the performance would greatly affect the atmosphere.

Just when Kita Ikuyo's lips were bitten by her own teeth and she was in deep despair, Jiang Zao squeezed through the crowd and rushed onto the stage with a guitar, pulled out the output cable from her guitar and connected it to the guitar in his hand.

"Jiang, Jiang Zao!?"

Jiang Zao blinked at Kita Ikuyo who hadn't recovered yet: "I'm the fifth person who ended the band's hiding. Don't be stunned, lead singer."

The reason why he was able to save the situation at this time was because he was worried that even if Goto Ichiri's guitar had been repaired, he didn't know if other accidents would happen. So he specially prepared a guitar in the storage space. After Kita Ikuyo's guitar strings broke, Jiang Zao released the stand-in to stop time, so that he could take the guitar out of the storage space and run to the edge of the stage.

All this happened in an instant. The audience only saw the guitar strings of Kita Yuyo broke, and then a boy walked onto the stage to take her place as guitarist. Many students at Wutian High School recognized Jiang Zao, the famous figure.

"Isn't that classmate Jiang Zao?"

"He can play guitar, too?"

"Wow, this is my first time seeing a real person, his sky blue eyes are so beautiful!"

Ijichi Hoshika's hands tightly gripped Hiroi Kikuri's shoulders, and only loosened them after she saw Jiang Zao coming on stage. Hiroi Kikuri rubbed her shoulders and complained, "Senior, how come you are so strong? I think you pinched my shoulders blue. By the way, it turns out that Bochi-chan's boyfriend is so good at guitar?"

"Well, Hongxia said he has a talent for this, but unfortunately he is not very interested in it."

"This is not the level of talent at all, it's almost as amazing as the talent of me, the genius bass girl. Maybe... I have this much talent." Hiroi Kikuri tried her best to open her arms to gesture the length of half her height.

Yidizhi Xingge rolled her eyes at her and said, "You are just talking nonsense. Jiang Zao's talent is definitely better than yours. He has only touched the guitar two or three times in the past few months and he can play it like this."

"What!? Two or three times?" Hiroi Kikuri was so surprised that she even forgot to drink the wine in her hand. Fortunately, she still remained a little sober and did not let go of the bottle of wine, which was half her life.

Playing the guitar is similar to other things that require proficiency. If you don't play it for a long time, your touch and technique will definitely feel a bit awkward. It's impossible for you to be like Jiang Zao, who can keep up with the band's rhythm as soon as he picks up the guitar.

What kind of monster is this...

After successfully resolving the crisis in the performance, Hong Xia and the others finally put their minds at ease. There was no need to worry about Jiang Zao's guitar level. Even without a lot of practice and running-in, he could still cooperate with them perfectly in playing.

In Kita Ikuyo's life so far, there have been two turning points that she considers to be very critical. One was when she was persuaded to join the band, and the other was her current performance at the cultural festival.

She longs for band members to work together for the same dream, and hopes that Goto Ichiri, who is both her teacher and friend, and who has a very high level of guitar skills but is unable to display her full strength due to social phobia, can shine on the stage.

Jiang Zao was present at both of these crucial turning points.

Jiang Zao...maybe he is my savior.

Kita Ikuyo gripped the microphone tightly, and looked deeply at Jiang Zao with her yellow-green amber eyes, then retracted her gaze. The previously suppressed emotions were transformed from her hot chest into lyrics, which turned into electrical signals through the microphone and woke up the speakers.

"The hour hand of the big clock is about to reach six o'clock, and the first star has already lit up in the night sky."

"I set out on my way home following the shadows, wishing I could sink into the night."

"It's great that so many people like you."

"No, I've always been alone."

"If only I could become a constellation with you."

This song...is definitely written for Jiang Zao.

Kita Ikuyo looked past Jiang Zao at Goto Ichiri who was playing with his head down to maintain his form.

Regarding the lyrics of this song, the band members all assumed that this was a love song she wrote for Jiang Zao, because no matter how you look at it, the two of them can be connected together.

Kita Ikuyo took the microphone off the stand. The reason why she chose to sing while playing the guitar was that if she only sang, she would always feel like her hands were busy and she couldn't calm down. Jiang Zao was now temporarily taking over her position as guitarist, so she had to take this approach to keep her hands busy.

"We meet in that distant place."

"Because this is our destiny, we will meet many times."

Nymph stood in the crowd, with a space around her as if there was a transparent wall. At the request of Kazama Ichihime, she came here to record the video without Jiang Zao's knowledge. After handing the video to Kazama Ichihime, Nymph will inform her master about this matter. Even if she is the master's sister, she cannot let her hide anything.

But...it's really strange. According to my previous analysis with Ichihime, this girl named Kita Ikuyo should have a very small chance of falling in love with her master after knowing that he has a harem.

But she doesn't look like it now. Is this what is called professionalism? If you want to sing a song well, you have to immerse yourself in the lyrics?

In fact, Kita Ikuyo did not reveal her inner feelings so directly. Based on her impression of the band's lead singer, she waved on the stage with the microphone and interacted with the audience. Only when she turned around did her eyes stick to Jiang Zao like honey threads. The only one who could see this action clearly was Nymph, the omnipotent angel.

"I will never untie the threads that bind me to you."

"No matter how dazzling you are."

Chapter 140: How much money does it take to leave him?

The five people slowly turned around and focused their eyes together to end the song. Even with the addition of Jiang Zao, the guitarist who joined in the middle of the performance, the whole performance did not seem abrupt at all.

This time the cheers were even louder than before.

"Student Jiang Zao, so handsome!"

"Kita, you sing so well!"

"Do you have an album of your songs? I want to buy a copy!"

With the help of Jiang Zao, they completed the second song without any trouble.

Kita Yuyo felt that the microphone in her hand was a little unsteady, and her voice trembled slightly: "Thank you very much today!"

"We will become an amazing band, and everyone will be proud of watching today's performance in the future!"

"Oh oh oh!"

"Okay!"

"We need to go up to the Budokan!"

"Then..." Kita Ikuyo turned his gaze to Jiang Zao beside him: "I also want to thank Jiang Zao for his timely rescue. He is really handsome, everyone, right!"

"That's right!"

“Student Jiang Zao ahhhhhh!”

Kita Ikudai handed him the microphone: "Jiang Zao, can you say a few words?"

"Um, um...hello everyone."

"Originally, I would have preferred to be an audience member and enjoy the performance with you guys under the stage, but unfortunately there was a small accident and I had no choice but to go on stage." Jiang Zao shrugged with a wry smile, and his actions made everyone laugh.

"Just now I heard someone asking about the band's album. They haven't released any album yet, but don't be disappointed. After this performance, the production of the band's first album will be put on the agenda, which will include the songs from this performance and the songs they have performed outside the school."

"Speaking of this, some people may want to ask why I, the fire captain, know this matter so well."

"Hahaha, the fire captain suits you so well."

"Are you a hidden member or something?"

The audience was talking a lot and the atmosphere became cheerful.

"If you say I'm a hidden member, then I guess so..." Jiang Zao said, walking to Goto Ichiri, who was smiling because of her boyfriend's handsome rescue, and holding her hand: "Most of the time, I stay with them as Ichiri's boyfriend and the person in charge of the band's record company."

"Hehe," Jiang Zao laughed with pride, not hiding his emotions: "I firmly believe that they will enter the Budokan in the most gorgeous way, because each of them is excellent, so excellent that even I feel dazzling!"

"Ohhhh! Jiang Zao, what you said is so great. You are worthy of being Pochi-chan's boyfriend!" Hiroi Kikuri was the first to start making a noise, followed by the teasing and laughter of the rest of the audience.

"You are just showing off your affection!"

"You are the one who attracts the most attention for being able to say such things at a time like this, hey!"

"I also want to find a girlfriend who is in a band!"

"It's so funny. You don't even consider whether you can be as talented as Jiang Zao."

Jiang Zao's declaration caused Goto Ichiri, his girlfriend, to receive a lot of attention in an instant. Happiness and shame rushed over her head like a bottle of soda that had been shaken and the cap was unscrewed.

The world... the world is spinning...

The scene before my eyes was like a picture with its colors washed out, changing from color to black and white, and then completely to black.

Goto Ichiri staggered two steps, his eyes turned into mosquito coils that kept spinning, and his body fell straight into Jiang Zao's arms.

"Pochi-chan!?"

"Ah wow wow, take her to the infirmary quickly!"

The performance of the closing band ended in hilarious surprises and chaos, but the wonderful performance and Jiang Zao's speech that was like a confession made them a hot topic in the school for a while.

......

"Ku~ The taste of wine in a glass is just different!" Hiroi Kikuli raised her eyebrows and happily held up the glass bottle in her hand, which made Ichichi Hoshige shake her head repeatedly. She couldn't remember how many bottles of wine Hiroi Kikuli had drunk. She felt that the coat on her body was like the four-dimensional pocket of a famous blue fat man, and she could always take out wine from it.

After fainting, Goto Ichiri was sent to the infirmary by Jiang Zao, and the rest of the people who had finished the performance were waiting for them outside the campus.

After shaking the bottle, Hiroi Kikuri squinted her eyes, trying to see clearly whether there was still any wine in it. Unfortunately, everything she saw was reflected in layers and she couldn't tell them apart. She could only rely on her drunkard instinct to judge that there was no more wine in it.

"Tsk, the amount is too small. It would be better if it could be the same amount as soju."

Throwing the empty bottle into the campus trash can, Hiroi Kikuri's alcohol-induced reflex arc finally came to her senses. She asked Hong Xia blankly, "Huh? Did Jiang Zao mention the record company during the performance just now?"

"Your reaction is too slow."

"Are you kidding me?"

"Well, Jiang Zao told us before..." Hong Xia repeated to her sister and Hiroi Kikuri what Jiang Zao had said when they went to Enoshima.

"Oh~ That's great, big sister, I also want a record company dedicated to my band!" Hiroi Kikuri's tone was full of envy. She hugged Hong Xia and begged: "Can Jiang Zao also sign our band..."

Considering that Hiroi Kikuri came here specially to support them today, Hongxia endured the pungent smell of alcohol and allowed her to rub her face.

"We don't have the final say on this matter. You should go ask Jiang Zao."

"Oh, he definitely doesn't like an old woman like me. Look at what he said today... Tsk, tsk, tsk, if I were a dozen years younger, I would definitely compete with Pochi-chan for a man."

Ijichi Hoshika slashed the nonsense-talking Hiroi Kikuri on the head with a knife: "Don't say such nonsense in front of Pochi-chan. She doesn't have much confidence in herself. What if she takes it seriously? I don't want the atmosphere in the band to become weird."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, I will pay more attention next time."

Kita Ikuyo has only now completely pulled herself out of the lyrics of "If I Could Become a Constellation". After hearing Ijichi Hoshika's warning to Hiroi Kikuri, she has become even more determined to maintain her friendship with Jiang Zao.

I must protect this band that everyone cherishes so much!

"Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting!" Jiang Zao walked towards them, waving as he led the sober Goto Ichiri.

Goto Ichiri was like a wanted criminal, looking around nervously, as if she would immediately shrink back to the area she thought was safe (in Jiang Zao's arms) if any strange eyes were looking at her.

Because Jiang Zao officially announced her girlfriend status in school, she always felt that girls who were interested in Jiang Zao would jump out and yell at her.

"You are not worthy of him at all, get away from Jiang Zao!"
