Sister Toosaka Rin

Ok……

She still chose a tactical retreat.

"Goto, are you ready?" Hongxia couldn't wait to hear how good the "super, super good song" that Liang mentioned was.

"Please, please wait a moment, I need to see the music score..."

Only then did Pochi pick up the music score that Tousaka Kiyoshi had placed aside, and she couldn't help but smile triumphantly in her heart.

"I'm not even seeing the music score for the first time, how can I possibly win? I'm definitely going to lose, what should I eat when I get home tonight?"

Since she had no intention of winning at all, Pochi-chan was looking at the music score while thinking about random things.

However, gradually, she stopped thinking about it and started to read the music score carefully again. The more she read, the more frightened she became.

The melody of this song is so great!

Just by looking at the music score, the sound of the guitar kept floating in her mind, and she seemed to see herself playing the song on the guitar.

After reading the music score, Pochi suddenly woke up.

Looking at the music score in her hand, the decision she had just made gradually collapsed and disintegrated.

Does she really have to perform such a great piece at a half-baked level?

Lack of ability is completely different from having the ability but deliberately not using it. If she can play this song well but deliberately plays it badly, it is an insult to the song! It is an insult to the purity and beauty of music!

She's a guitar hero! How can a hero run away from a battle?

It's decided! She will perform this song in her best condition!

The success or failure of the competition, the temporary guitarist in the band, just forget about them all!

Pochi-chan suddenly stood up, with her back straight, as if she was standing at attention: "I, I'm ready!"

She was like a soldier who mustered up the courage to go to the battlefield, always ready to sacrifice her life.

Hongxia smiled awkwardly: "Goto-san, there's no need to be so serious."

"Yes!" Pochi nodded solemnly, then slowly took out the guitar from his backpack, and after tuning it, he said, "I'm going to start."

It's a pity that imagination is beautiful but reality is cruel, because this was her first time performing under the watchful eyes of the public, and it was a performance with competitive significance, so she played the first note wrong.

Although she adjusted herself in time and did not make any more mistakes until the end, Pochi-chan still fell into deep self-blame. She squatted in the corner consciously, as if she was a suspect who had committed a serious crime, waiting for everyone to decide her fate.

However, the result was that although she played it wrong at the beginning, her overall performance was still much better than that of Kiyoshi Tōsaka. Everyone present, even Yukinoshita Yukino who didn't know much about music, could hear the difference.

Hongxia was stunned for a moment, then came to Pochi-chan with shining eyes.

"Goto-san, your performance just now was amazing! It was like Guitar Hero!"

Pochi-chan's body trembled slightly.

Guitar Hero?! What should I do? Have I been recognized? Should I admit it?

If I admit it, will others think “Guitar Hero is like this, so bad?”

If he releases another explosive video, even Guitar Hero’s online account will be affected!

That was the only place where she could show her guitar skills. If she lost that place, wouldn't she rot and stink in a corner where no one knew about her?

Pochi seemed to have seen her own life ten years later, hiding in a dark and dirty rental house, waking up from a garbage dump every day.

"No! I don't want that kind of future! Please don't tell anyone! Please!"

Hongxia looked at Pochi-chan who suddenly stepped forward to her with confusion: "What should I say?"

Pochi-chan raised her head cautiously: "You don't know?"

Hong Xia was even more confused: "Is there anything I should know?"

Pochi-chan breathed a sigh of relief and got up from the ground: "No, no, it's good that you don't know."

Hongxia didn't pursue the matter, but praised him again: "Goto-san, your guitar playing is amazing! How did you practice? It feels like you've reached a level that's good enough for commercial performances!"

I was praised! I was praised!

Pochi-chan's mind instantly floated to the sky. She scratched the back of her head involuntarily and said with a silly smile: "It's nothing, the main thing is that this song is great."

At this time, Tousaka Kiyoshi said to Ichichi Hoshige, "Manager, it seems that there is no need for me to go on stage anymore."

Ijichi Hoshika nodded. She had also watched Toosaka Kiyoshi's performance just now. The gap between her and the pink-haired girl was too big. There was no need for a competition at all.

"Hongxia, Goto-san will be the temporary guitarist. You should familiarize yourself with the coordination as soon as possible, as we will be performing on stage soon."

Pochi-chan, who was grinning foolishly, suddenly froze, as if she heard something incredible.

Chapter 68 Snow God and Her Faithful Believers

Pochi turned her head stiffly, looked at Tousaka Kiyoshi, then looked at Ijichi Hoshika, and felt pain in her back.

What? It turns out that I was just stabbed by a few knives.

Damn it! Why! Why did they suddenly decide that I should be the temporary guitarist?

This boy who is as bright as the sun, don’t you even want to give it a try? Please have some confidence in yourself! How can someone like you give up so easily? This is not in line with your character!

I want to go home! When did it become so difficult to go home?

After being backstabbed, Pochi-chan felt like she had lost all hope in life. Seeing that she had fallen into depression again, Hongxia hurriedly shook her shoulders.

"Goto-kun! Goto-kun! Please cheer up! You have become the guitarist in my band, shouldn't you be happy?"

"Hehe, hehe..." Pochi-chan smiled with a forced smile.

Liang also came to Pochi-chan at this time and said expressionlessly: "Welcome to our band, your guitar skills are really amazing!"

After receiving praise from others again, Pochi-chan finally cheered up a little.

Isn’t the current situation exactly what she expected?

Now that I have the people who can form a band, the next step is to gradually build the band's reputation and get rid of my once lonely self.

One day, when she is interviewed by a TV station, she will be able to say naturally, "Actually, I was also a very inconspicuous person when I was in middle school."

We cannot give up on such a beautiful future just because of momentary cowardice!

Pochi-chan clenched his fists and whispered, "Then I'll give it a try."

"Great!" Hongxia held Pochi-chan's hand, "Then let's go rehearse quickly. The performance is about to begin, and we have to do our best to do our best!"

The three girls entered the backstage and began to rehearse. Yukinoshita Yukino mysteriously pulled Tousaka Kiyoshi aside.

"Is there a problem?"

"Have you been following the news lately?"

Kiyoshi Tousaka thought for a moment and got a rough idea: "Is it the news about the Vtuber with hundreds of thousands of fans who was bullied online, then showed his face in the last live broadcast of his life and jumped off the Tokyo Tower?"

To be honest, if this kind of news happened in the world before Toosaka Kiyoshi traveled through time, it would have been considered international news and would have caused heated public debate.

However, in this world, only people in Tokyo pay attention to this matter.

If people from other regions hear the news, the first thing they will ask is “What is a Vtuber?”

Although this is a two-dimensional world, places with a high concentration of two-dimensional elements are actually very rare.

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded and said, "This incident has had a huge impact, especially on the Vtuber community. Isn't Sister Yayue also a Vtuber? I'm worried about Sister Yayue's situation, so I asked me to find out about it. But I don't know much about the Vtuber profession, so I would like to ask you for help."

"No problem, let's go."

Uesugi Masatsuki is the only friend of Yukinoshita Haruno, and she has a good relationship with him. The leather case she uses for live streaming was made by him, so he should also show some concern for her.

The two came to Uesugi Masatsuki, who said disdainfully, "The performance is about to begin, don't disturb me while I'm working."

Tousaka Kiyoshi held up a finger: "I'll give you a small TV."

The small TV is the most expensive gift on the platform where Masayoshi Uesugi broadcasts live, with a unit price of more than 1,200 yuan. However, after the platform’s share of the profits, Masayoshi Uesugi can only get more than 500 yuan.

Little stars appeared in Uesugi Masatsuki's eyes: "Tousaka brother, you can talk to me about anything you want, but there's no need for the small TV."

Toosaka Kiyoshi was surprised. When did Uesugi Masatsuki become so indifferent to fame and fortune?

"Why not transfer the money to me directly, so that the middleman won't make a profit from the price difference?"

Well, so you were waiting here.

Tosaka Kiyoshi spread his hands: "Sorry, I won't use my own money, but the batteries in the account."

Batteries are the universal currency on Uesugi Yayue’s live streaming platform. They can only be obtained through official events or recharges, and the ratio to real-world currency is ten to one.

Toosaka Kiyoshi's video account is also on this platform. He has participated in activities before and received tens of thousands of batteries. He is a freeloader on this platform.

Uesugi Masatsuki pouted, but still started chatting with Tousaka Kiyoshi: "What topic do you want to talk to me about?"

"How's your work as a Vtuber going lately?"

Uesugi Masatsuki was a little listless: "That's it. With just a few tens of thousands of fans, I can't expect to get gift captains or anything like that. I can only rely on the fixed salary from the platform. Alas, if someone can give me an annual fee governor, I will give up my current job and become the governor's girlfriend."

The corner of Toosaka Kiyoshi's mouth twitched. Although he could see that Uesugi Masatsuki was joking, he always felt that she might really do this.

The governor earns 20,000 yuan a month, and the annual fee is more than 200,000 yuan. Those who can use this money to reward virtual anchors are indeed worthy of the dedication of a low-level V like her.

But wanting to be someone's girlfriend is pure dreaming. The gap in status between us is too big, so you can only be someone else's toy.

After collecting his thoughts, Tousaka Kiyoshi asked again, "What do you think about the recent news?"

"The news about Chaotian-chan's suicide?" Uesugi Masatsuki immediately understood what Toosaka Kiyoshi was referring to.

"Yes. Don't you think that if a V of her level was forced to such an end, a small V like you will have a bleak future?"

"I have so few fans. I just play games and play bad games every day. Who would bully me online? Besides, I have a job here. If I get bullied online, I will just delete my account and run away! Why do you think so?"

Toosaka Kiyoshi looked back at Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "It's OK. Her mental state is fine. Someone who can talk about tanking so confidently must have great ability to handle stress."

Yukinoshita Yukino chose to believe Tousaka Kiyoshi: "I will tell my sister the whole process."

Uesugi Masatsuki was puzzled: "You guys..."

Yukinoshita Yukino confessed: "My sister is worried about you, so she asked me to ask."

Uesugi Masatsuki suddenly realized: "You're worrying for nothing. If she's worried, can't she just call me and ask me?"

At this time, Ijichi Hoshika came over and pushed Uesugi Masatsuki to her workstation: "The performance has started! Hurry up and get to work!"

Upon hearing this, Tousaka Kiyoshi and Yukinoshita Yukino also walked towards the front of the stage. Uesugi Masatsuki's voice rang out behind them: "Don't forget the little TV you promised me!"

Toosaka Kiyonori looked at Yukinoshita Yukino and said, "This should be considered as activity expenses. Will Sister Yangno reimburse it?"

Yukinoshita Yukino rolled her eyes and said, "You can go talk to your sister yourself tonight."

On the stage, Hong Xia, the drummer and captain, has already introduced the song they will play tonight.

Next to the guitarist's position there is a huge mango carton that attracts a lot of attention.

Yukinoshita Yukino asked in confusion: "Is that Goto-san?"

"I think so." Tousaka Kiyoshi nodded, suppressing his laughter. "Yukino, you don't socialize because you don't want to, but Goto-san does because you're afraid."

"Social phobia?"

“It’s still a very severe kind.”

Yukinoshita Yukino fell silent, and Tousaka Kiyoshi asked, "Yukino wants to help her?"

At this time, music sounded and the cardboard boxes on the stage vibrated slightly in the sound waves.

The three people who had just met had no coordination, mistakes began to occur one after another, and the whole performance was terrible.

The audience began to leave one after another, and some said that the tickets were not worth it.

Pochi-chan's extremely high level of performance was not brought to life, and she even made the most mistakes among the three.

Yukinoshita Yukino said slowly: "Her performance level is very high. She shouldn't be mediocre due to the limitations of her personality."

Toosaka Kiyoshi smiled: "If Yukino wants to help her, then start by making friends. But you two don't talk much, and it's hard for me to imagine how long it takes for you two to say a word when you're together."

Yukinoshita Yukino shook her head: "I'm not good at this kind of thing, but you can."

Toosaka Kiyoshi's expression was subtle: "Yukino, are you sure you want me to go? I helped you when you were a child, so you became my lover. If I go to help Goto-san..."

Toosaka Kiyoshi didn't say anything else, and Yukinoshita Yukino had already guessed the result.
