One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

"Ok?"

What does this mean?

Shengren read it in his heart.

"Although Xiaobai's bandmates are also very good to her, from our point of view, Shengren is more reliable."

"Yes, after all, you have known each other since childhood and have a good relationship."

Bandmates...

If Kurata's parents' request was regarding men and women, then Katsuto would probably have to learn from Kurata Mashiro's good character and retreat at full speed.

I can't bear the burden of someone else's life.

However, if it's just like asking Futaba Chikushi and Kiritani Toruko to take care of my studies and band life -

This is quite easy.

"Well, uncle and aunt, don't worry - if you can trust me, who is one year younger than Xiaobai, I will definitely do my best to take good care of Xiaobai."

Do your best.

It sounds like a rather exaggerated word.

But to be honest, Mashiro Kurata also deserves Katsuto to use this word.

"Come, uncle, I'll toast you."

"Ah, we are a family, so we are not polite to each other."

Although I don't know why Kurata's father would use the term "family"...

Is it because he used to visit us often?

Well, that should be what it means...

As Kurata Mashiro could no longer lift her head, the two cups clinked together.

I'll give you a choice. If you accept only one update next Thursday, then I can write all of Otae's memories and post them today. A total of 4,000 words means two updates.

Or I could update a chapter of memories, or continue to update the main text... But I always feel that updating only one chapter, whether it is memories or the main text, is a bit boring...

But even if I think that Reminiscence is somewhat interesting, it may not be necessarily interesting for you to read it, and it is best to read Reminiscence together with the last chapter before it is put on the shelves.

and so.

A, two chapters of memories, B, one chapter of memories, C, one chapter of text, blah blah.

Memories of Hanazono Dahui (Part 1): A thousand chance encounters, a thousand glances back

Forget it, don’t wait any longer.

Although I am writing a memoir, my skills are indeed not as good as those of Xu Ziqian, the master in the field of memoirs.

Yes, yes, yes.

Hey.

----

Perhaps it was a very unexpected thing, before they officially met, Hanazono Tae and the current Ushiromiya Katsuto, the former Hirasawa Ei—

Meet often.

Sheng was only fourteen years old at that time and not that tall and strong yet.

As for height, it should be exactly 1.8 meters, which is quite suitable for me to stand next to myself who is 1.64 meters tall.

When Hanazono Tae was in her first year of high school, she worked part-time at her boss, Tsuzuki Shisen's livehouse, Space.

Katsuto would also come here to play guitar.

At that time, Hanazono Tae didn't even know that Katsuto lived in Saaya's house—

After all, Yamabuki Saya only officially joined Popipa after the cultural festival in her first year of high school.

It was only a little while ago that I started to have in-depth interactions with them.

Because she has been practicing guitar since she was young, Hanazono Tae knows what the level of improvement in a person's guitar skills should be.

This eighth grade boy is making rapid progress.

At first, I just learned from the tutorial on the phone, but later I could play some songs.

But Hua Yuan Duohui heard it.

He certainly made some of the mistakes that a self-taught person would make.

Because Hua Yuan Duohui also taught herself to play the guitar. From elementary school to now, she has fallen into every pitfall that self-taught people would fall into.

Hua Yuan Duo Hui watched with the mentality of a person who had experienced it—

Until the boss's end.

The boss seemed to be unable to bear the fact that his talent was buried, so he gave him a few pointers.

Then, the boy's guitar skills almost immediately improved to a higher level.

After that, although he didn't say it explicitly, the boss treated the boy as his own apprentice.

The boy came to the Livehouse Space every day and played guitar under the guidance of the owner.

Often the boss's granddaughter would play with him, and occasionally, when Hanazono Duohui was in the mood, she would also join in the fun.

Playing guitar is really a wonderful thing.

It was also a very happy time.

But it only lasted for a little over a month.

After that, Shengren never came to Space again.

She noticed that her boss looked sad, but never thought much about it.

After all, the garden is very beneficial—

It's an idiot.

Huayuan Duohui doesn't know.

That’s when Katsuto gave up guitar.

It was only after Yamabuki Saya joined Popipa that Hanazono Tae knew Katsuto's name.

Naturally, the number of times we met increased.

Let’s not say that we may not see each other when we look up, but we will see each other when we look down.

We see each other every two or three days.

But at that time, Hanazono Tae really didn't have a very deep impression of Katsuto.

Apart from the fact that he played the guitar once because he was in the mood and I could tell that his guitar skills were improving instead of decreasing, I still didn't have any impression of him.

Oh, there is a little bit.

As I get older, my shoulders start to broaden.

Let's start running.

Hua Yuan Duohui herself is also a running enthusiast.

Except when it rains or she is too sleepy to get up, she goes for a morning run every day.

Sometimes I bump into Katsuto.

But is it really because of individual differences between men and women?

Even though I am a working soldier with excellent physical fitness, I still can't beat him.

"We meet again, Sister Duohui."

When they meet, the other party will greet him like this.

"Well, I'm lucky."

I consider my encounter with Katsuto to be good luck.

This is just a casual remark from Huayuan Duohui -

At that time, she certainly didn't expect that on that day, her encounter with Shengren would indeed become a "good luck" thing.

How did that sentence go?

A thousand times of passing by each other in exchange for a glance back; a thousand times of glance back in exchange for a chance encounter in this life; a thousand times of chance encounters in exchange for an acquaintance.

This sentence is very appropriate to describe the relationship between them.

As expected, I have to mention the incident from the second year.

Poppin'Party is actively preparing for its one-year anniversary performance and is planning to host its first live show.

In order to improve her skills, Hanazono Tae started performing street live again.

As a result, during a street performance, he reunited with his childhood playmates, Ras' layer, and Zou Ruiyi.

Afterwards, at her invitation, Hanazono Tae temporarily joined RAISE A SUILEN as a support guitarist and partnered with Rui and others.

Hanazono Tae thinks RAS's music is very strong and she wants to stay in RAS to cultivate herself.

But at that time, Chu? had already thought about poaching people.

After Hua Yuan Da Hui joined the group, RAS's first performance on the second day coincided with the popipa anniversary performance at the cultural festival without Chu? consulting the other members in advance.

Although Chu accepted Duohui's request and moved the performance forward by half an hour, she was privately prepared to respond to encores continuously, hoping to make Duohui understand that she should stay in RAS instead of popipa.

So, three encores were added to that performance.

By the time it was over, it was too late.

Hanazono Tae was about to rush to the tram station, and at this moment, she met Katsuto.

He came to listen to Ras's performance.

But it’s not because the garden is so beautiful.

He didn't even know that Hanazono Tae-hye was Ras's backing guitarist.

At that time, Shengren met an incredible girl, picked up the guitar again, and started to mix in the band circle again.

It is impossible that he had not heard of Ras, who was very famous at that time. In addition, Yuqiu was a girls' school, so it was impossible for a boy like him to go to the auditorium to listen to Popipa's memorial performance, so he chose Ras's live performance in dub.

However, he has a habit of not listening to encores.

Bugger off during the encore.

It’s easy to understand, right? If you wait until the encore is over and everyone is rushing out, it will take a lot of energy to get out.

It was because of this that Shengren, who was outside enjoying the breeze, met the impetuous Hua Yuan Duohui.

"Hey, Sister Duohui, isn't today Popipa's commemorative performance?"

When Shengren saw Hanazono Tae, he was stunned. He easily caught up with Hanazono Tae who was running to the train station with her guitar on her back.

Then, I understood the situation.

"…Don't run. Even if you catch this train, you won't be able to make it to the memorial performance."

Katsuto stopped her with his hand in a deep voice.

"What are you doing!"

It is impossible for Huayuan Duohui to give up just like that.

She was extremely anxious, so naturally she wouldn't have a good tone towards Shengren who stopped her for no reason.

but.

"I'll take you there."

"what……"
