Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

After she finished speaking, Hiroi Kikuri's expression fell, and she threw herself towards Hongxia crying, shouting things like "Even little Hongxia doesn't believe me anymore!"

"No matter what," Hong Xia pinched her nose and waved her hand in disdain to dispel the strong smell of alcohol, "Two months, two months to pay it back, 20 yen should not be difficult for the lead singer of a famous band."

Hiroi Kikuri felt her nose getting even more sore and ran to the store manager for comfort.

"You are a musician of SICK HACK. If you save a little, you can definitely pay it back, so don't try to cheat!"

The store manager had long seen through her junior sister. She crossed her arms and with a world-weary look on her face, she barely glanced at the latter and told Hiroi to stand still.

“…Wow wow wow~”

After a moment of silence, Hiroi Kikuri began to drop small pearls.

"No need to comfort her, she is just like this."

The store manager stopped the two minors who wanted to comfort her, and after looking deeply at Hiroi Kikuri, he calmly led everyone to look for an izakaya.

To deal with Hiroi Kikuri, you need to use both carrot and stick. Be strict at first, and then treat her a little. The strong contrast can easily move her to tears.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. We're about to go into the pub. Don't cry. It's embarrassing."

"liquor?"

Hiroi Kikuri stopped crying instantly as if a keyword had been triggered.

She felt a little unreal until she sat down with everyone and started ordering food. The manager took the initiative to order a bottle of sake and she woke up from her dream.

"Hehehe, senior sister, you are so nice."

Ye Mu turned his head away. Hiroi Kikuri, whose face still had traces of tears, smiled the second purest smile he had ever seen.

By the way, the most innocent smile he had ever seen on Hiroi Kikuri was when she just got the bass in the music store.

Simple side dishes were served with some fried food and sushi that young people like. After the ordered sake and drinks were served, the store manager took the initiative to pour a glass of wine for Hiroi Kikuri.

"Junior, you have to be honest. I know your performance fee is not low. If you are determined, you can save up the money in two weeks if you grit your teeth."

Ye Mu rarely heard Xing Ge speak so gently. At least now her world-weary expression has faded a lot and she is no longer as aggressive as if no one is allowed to approach her.

"...Don't worry, Senior Sister, and Brother Ye Mu, I will definitely work hard!"

Hiroi Kikuri took the sake, took a big sip and seemed to be hurt by the spiciness. She said with tears in her eyes.

"That's good."

I didn't expect the store manager to be so capable. I thought her world-weary expression meant she hated the ways of the world, but maybe that can't be called worldly?

Xingge gave Ye Mu a proud look, as if he wanted to be praised but was very reserved.

"Oh, yes, I remembered something!"

Hiroi Kikuri suddenly raised her arms high and shouted excitedly.

"Xiao Hongxia, Liang and Xiaoge, are you interested in coming to Shinjuku Flot to perform as a warm-up performer?"

"Eh? ×3"

The three of them looked at each other excitedly.

"Shinjuku Flot, I have to admit that it is a performance hall several times larger than the Stars, and it will have more audiences."

Xingge gave some scientific explanation at the right time.

The so-called warm-up performances are performances where some small bands or groups with good strength are invited to perform to liven up the atmosphere before the main band comes on stage, but the performances will not overshadow the main band.

It can constantly increase the audience size for the leading bands, and conversely, it is also an opportunity for new bands like The End to showcase themselves.

"How about it? Do you have any ideas?"

There is no doubt that she agrees, but Hongxia's hand has not recovered yet, so she doesn't know if there will be a conflict in timing.

"What time is it?"

"It'll be soon, January 16th. Isn't that the Sunday of the first week of school for high school students? There will definitely be more people."

That means there are about ten days left.

The three of them didn't say anything, but quickly exchanged opinions through eye contact.

'It's worth going to the guest show that I was invited to.'

Liang was still relatively reserved, but Hongxia was much more obvious, her red eyes full of impatience.

"We have to go. Kita and the others will definitely agree."

'But your hand is alright, right?'

'Don't worry, it's almost healed!'

Hongxia rolled up her sleeves and pointed her fingers to show the two of them that she had recovered well.

"Of course we agree!"

She turned her head and spoke to Hiroi Kikuri with a firm face.

"As for the details, I'll go back tonight and ask Shima what the specific arrangements are, because I'm not too sure either, hahaha."

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head and grinned foolishly, but this time the three people who ended the band had to get to know this drunk big sister again.

"Shima Iwashita, the guitarist of SICK HACK, is very talented."

Liang gave a brief introduction.

They finally connected the giggling Hiroi Kikuri with the super popular band in Shimokitazawa.

…………

In the evening, after the band’s small group chat exploded again.

[Hongxia: Attention everyone, we have accepted the invitation and will be performing at Shinjuku Flot on the 16th! The performance time is not fixed, and the organizer has given us time for three songs! ]

[Liang: It’s a great opportunity. We can stand on the same stage as other famous bands.]

【Kita: Really? ! ! That’s great! 】

Then she fell silent, probably searching for information about Shinjuku Flot.

But there is one person who doesn’t think so…

On the other side of the screen, the pink-haired girl foamed at the mouth after seeing the message and fainted in front of the phone.

Chapter 202 Phone play?

That night, Ye Mu turned off the lights in his room early.

A hot and soft body curled up in his arms, drawing circles on his chest, enjoying a moment of sage moment.

"So, the child was frightened."

After listening to Ye Mu's description, Gabriel chuckled a few times and said.

"Probably. After all, she didn't respond when people tagged her... And don't call her 'that kid'. She's about your age, okay?"

Ye Mu hugged Gabriel and used his free hand to look through the messages in the group.

"One day in heaven is one year on earth, so I am actually much older than you~"

Ye Mu wanted to say something back to her, but the screen suddenly jumped to the call interface and began to vibrate continuously.

When I looked at the caller's profile picture, it was Xiao Boqi's.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Mu chose to answer the call directly.

"Senior," the trembling voice of Xiao Boqi came from the other end of the microphone, "What everyone in the group said, it's not a lie, right?"

"Of course, I was also present today. It was Sister Hiroi who agreed to it herself."

Little Bochi, little Bochi, at this point, are you still clinging to illusions and trying to escape?

"Woo~"

She uttered a wail, then fell silent.

Ye Mu didn't say anything, waiting for her to calm down and accept the reality.

They fell into silence, but Gabriel, who was in the mood to play a trick, didn't think so.

Um?what's the situation?

Ye Mu suddenly felt that Gabriel, whom he was hugging, had slipped into the bed like a loach. After a rustling sound, he took a breath of cold air.

Again? Want to fuck your ex?

But strictly speaking, Gabriel was the first one to confirm their relationship with him.

Hiss~

A strange sound came over, and Ye Mu wanted to cover the microphone of his mobile phone.

“By then, there will surely be a lot of spectators.”

On the other end of the phone, Little Pochi sighed.

"Yes, after all, the purpose of everyone's participation is to increase the popularity of the band."

Ye Mu's words seemed a little hesitant, and there were heavy breaths in between as if he was trying hard to hold back.

"Senior, what's wrong? Your voice sounds a little strange."

"No, it's nothing. Let's continue. It's not a good idea to be afraid of the stage all the time. Our band will have to stand on a bigger stage sooner or later."

Yes, after all, I have filmed music videos with everyone, participated in street performances and school festivals!

Maybe, I have become a little bit of a sparkler?

Little Bochi recalled and encouraged himself, and suddenly he felt much better, and didn't seem to be so resistant to Shinjuku Flot's performance.

"Thank you, senior. I feel much better now."

"Huh...right...that's fine. Once Hongxia's hand is completely healed, we'll start training."

Why does it feel like the senior's breathing is getting heavier? And there seems to be some strange noises in the background?

Little Bochi hesitated whether he should ask his senior again, but wouldn't that be a bit rude? Would he be considered a possessive girl?

"I, I'm a little tired. Let's talk tomorrow."

"Ah, okay, good night, senior."

After hanging up the phone, although Xiao Boqi felt a little strange, he thought about the performance at Shinjuku Flot again and for some reason he felt excited.

Scared yet looking forward to it?

What a strange emotion.

She giggled twice, then stood up to share the news with her parents and sister.

As for the part on the screen, after making sure that the call was completely hung up, Ye Mu threw the phone down.

He suddenly pulled back the quilt, and there was light inside?

Then I looked at the flickering light and saw Gabriel eating a popsicle while looking at his phone? !

Is it so outrageous?

Ye Mu pinched her cheek unhappily.

"Hmm...swollen, ...

"What did you say happened?"

Ye Mu rolled his eyes at her and grabbed this useless angel who was both inexperienced and playful.

…………

As time went by, the snow that had fallen all day melted away, and the forest of steel and concrete returned to its usual inorganic state.

Ye Mu, taking advantage of the last few days before high school starts, maintains a relatively stable life.

He worked in the restaurant for half a day during the day, went home to practice in the afternoon, and at night he hugged Gabriel who appeared out of nowhere on the bed and began to be affectionate with her.

It is worth mentioning that I never had the chance to give the Yamagata Wagyu beef and bracelets brought back from Yamagata Prefecture to the Kotori sisters. It was only after several days that I visited them when they returned from their hometown in the countryside.

Every time Rikka Takanashi returns home, her condition becomes much weaker, but as soon as she sees Ye Mu, she recovers at a speed visible to the naked eye.

He handed the bracelet to Touka, and while she went to the kitchen to cook Wagyu, Rika took the opportunity to pull him aside and whisper something to him.
