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

The store manager, who was not so interested in soft rock, still had a blank expression on her face, but her eyes trembling with excitement had already exposed her inner thoughts.

Several fans of other bands were also extremely grateful that they had arrived earlier.

"This is a performance by our seniors, I absolutely cannot fall behind!"

Little Boqi was secretly holding back a lot of energy.

The vocal part ends, leaving only the last slow strum of the lead guitar.

She took a deep breath, and after strumming the strings once, she turned her wrist and pinched the pick between her fingers on the back of her hand.

So handsome!

Ye Mu squinted his eyes and seemed to be reminiscing about something, but he was actually watching Xiao Boqi out of the corner of his eye.

I saw little Bochi cleverly clamp the pick spinning in the air, and then smoothly strum the strings with his fingernails instead.

The clean and neat strumming, accompanied by the sound of nails scraping against the strings, adds a different feeling to the song.

At the end of the song, the members of The End bowed and the audience applauded - even though no one was a fan of The End before this song.

“The performance can be said to be quite successful!”

After returning to the training room, Ijichi Hongxia excitedly raised the drumsticks in her hand and shouted.

Yamada Ryoya nodded in agreement and stared at Ye Mu's neck for a while:

"Well, I don't know why your voice sounds completely different when you sing than it usually does."

She was also immersed in it and deeply shocked.

It seems that due to the perspective, I am the only one who noticed Pochi's handsome movements.

It’s a bit regrettable, but Kita Ikuyo seemed to be holding a mobile phone at the time, so I don’t know if she was able to take the picture.

"Little Pochi was so handsome just now. Let me tell you, she just..."

Ye Mu naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to boost Xiao Boqi's confidence, and he praised Xiao Boqi a lot.

When it came to the key points, he even picked up his guitar pick and wanted to demonstrate it to Hongxia and the others, but he had to give up because he couldn't get it right.

"I saw it too. Little Pochi is really handsome!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Kita Ikuyo coming in. She had her phone in her hand and was replaying that scene over and over again.

The few people who finished the band ignored her sudden entry and gathered in a circle to watch the video.

Ye Mu was also among them. When he looked up slightly, he saw balls of various colors mixed with the girl's body fragrance.

"It's really cool. I want to learn it too, but it seems that bass is not necessary."

Yamada Ryo raised his head and gently touched his lips with his fingers, thinking about how to learn this move that would be cool enough to seduce girls.

"Great job, Pochi-chan!"

It was Ichichi Kouka, and she patted Pochi's shoulder.

"If it gets posted online, it will definitely go viral!"

Everyone started praising him, and little Bochi was grinning from ear to ear. Soon he started laughing so hard that he got carried away, touching his head and drooling, immersed in his fantasy.

Ye Mu was laughing at the funny look of little Pochi, and didn't notice that Kita Ikuyo on the side had kept her eyes on him from the beginning, and it was only after a long while that she moved her eyes to Liang.

"I have the complete video, how about I just post it online for you guys?"

Kita Ikuyo said to the band while jokingly ending.

The laughter paused and everyone turned to look at her.

Several pairs of eyes of different colors were placed on Kita Ikuyo, which almost gave her goose bumps.

"I'm also a relatively well-known blogger, and with the high quality of the songs, it should be able to increase the popularity of the band."

"Of course! X5"

Everyone who finished the band said in unison.

Chapter 20: Are you playing rock music?

Still in the Starry Sky, Ichichi Hongxia was standing with her hands on her hips, discussing something with the store manager.

"The performance was OK. I can tell your band is no longer just a child's play."

Even though they are sisters, Ijichi Hoshige still plays the role of a demanding store manager, and is too proud to praise her sister for her success.

"Starting next week, you can perform on stage normally, but you still have to complete your ticket quota."

Ichichi Hongxia smiled faintly. Her sister's words clearly meant that she agreed to end the band. After hesitating for a moment, Ichichi Hongxia decided to inform her sister first:

"Sister...Manager, our band may need to get a new lead singer."

"what?"

Ijichi Xingge's eyes suddenly widened, and she slightly supported the table with her hands, very shocked.

"Is it because they think your level is too low and they want to leave?"

His tone revealed strong doubts about the performance level of Ichichi Hongxia and the others.

"Of course not!" Ichichi Hongxia stomped her feet like a kitten whose tail was stepped on:

"Our lead singer wants to invite a new singer to join as the lead singer, and then he will continue to be the keyboard player of the band."

"This is the lead singer's own decision, and it has not been finalized yet."

Maybe she herself felt that this was a little unreliable, Ichichi Hongxia added one more sentence at the end.

"Nonsense!"

Ichichi Xingge had a stern expression and shouted angrily, wanting to say something but then sat back down.

Ijichi Hongxia didn't say anything and lowered her eyes slightly.

If I told my sister that the new lead singer couldn't even play the guitar, I'm afraid she would be even angrier.

To be honest, Yidizhi Hongxia didn't know why Ye Mu wanted to let the newcomer in so much, when the current situation was obviously fine.

After a moment of silence, Ichichi Xingge slowly spoke:

"This is your band's business, you decide for yourself, but if you want to change people, you must go through another stage assessment."

Every word was spoken, striking at Yidizhi Xingge's eardrums. She pursed her lips, said softly "I know" and turned away. She was not surprised by this result.

On the other side, the End Band and Kita Ikuyo also heard the conversation. When they saw Ijichi Kouka coming back with a sullen face, everyone lost the mood to play around.

The most embarrassed person in this situation was Kita Ikuyo.

She felt a little uneasy and wanted to say something several times, but gave up in the end.

For some reason, she couldn't say it even though she could just say no.

"Hey, everyone, please don't have that expression."

Ye Mu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

"The performance was a success, and maybe new members will join soon. It would be even more fun to have these two things together."

Ye Mu raised his voice.

"How about this, since tomorrow is Saturday, why don't we go to a pub tonight to celebrate? It's my treat~"

The temptation of delicious food was indeed great, and everyone's breathing became heavier.

"I have no problem with that. People who play rock music drink like crazy and get drunk in pubs."

The first to express his opinion was Yamada Ryo, who, as always, classified all sorts of messy things as rock.

What is this called, playing rock music?

"I'm not really that hungry—"

Ijichi Hongxia was a little moved, but she still wanted to remain reserved.

"It's okay, I'll get hungry after exercising."

A voice answered quickly, and they looked in the direction of the voice and found that the store manager had stood next to them without them knowing.

She looked down at the closing band sitting on the chairs, and with the air of a boss who was exploiting the workers, she shouted:

"You guys who are working, hurry up and get to work!"

"I know. Why are you so fierce?"

Ijichi Kouka muttered as she stood up, along with Pochi-chan and Yamada Ryo.

Seeing that Ye Mu and Kita Ikuyo were a little confused, she explained: "Because it is just after the performance, it is likely that the ticket target will not be met, so we still need to pay for it ourselves."

"I'll have to work sooner or later anyway, so why not take little Pochi to get familiar with it first?"

For less famous bands, the exhibition hall's profitability will be affected due to too few audiences during their performances, so the exhibition hall stipulates that there is a certain number of ticket tasks for each performance, and the band needs to pay for the unfulfilled part themselves.

Little Bochi seemed extremely reluctant, with her lips pouted and her whole body trembling, making people wonder if she was going to fall down at any moment.

The three of them went back to work, and even little Pochi was dragged to the beverage counter by Ichichi Hongxia, but the manager still stood next to Ye Mu without moving.

This action made Ye Mu a little confused. After thinking for a moment, Ye Mu asked tentatively:

"Ms. Manager, are you and PA-chan available for the dinner tonight?"

"Of course there is..."

This is what Ichichi Hoshige was waiting for, but she felt that agreeing too quickly would undermine the store manager's authority, so she paused and said in a stern tone:

"I'm going to supervise you. Don't even think about getting underage girls drunk. Hongxia is my sister."

"Of course not. My character is trustworthy."

Ye Mu laughed silently.

But come to think of it, if you guys go, it will just be two more women.

"Then it depends on your performance."

Leaving this sentence, Yidizhi Xingge turned and walked away.

The only people left at the table were the guitar bags of a few people and Kita Ikuyo.

"Ye Jun, I'd better not go."

"We don't know each other very well yet. It's too expensive for me to have dinner together."

Biting her lip, Kita Ikuyo said in a troubled tone.

"What's the big deal? Relationships get better as we get along with each other, but if you really feel bad about it—"

Ye Mu turned his head and looked at the beverage counter.

"Why not help Pochi and the others with their work?"

"……it is good."

After hesitating for a moment, Kita Ikuyo agreed, and she and Ye Mu stood up and went to the corner to get tools such as brooms.

"What are you doing? I'm not going to pay you two."

When Ye Mu swept the floor over here, the manager looked at Ye Mu and said vigilantly.

"Don't worry, I just want to reduce the workload of the band's workers."

After a moment's pause, Ijichi Hoshika looked at Yamada Ryo who was sleeping with his head on the broom, and nodded in agreement:

"You have good sense."

The peak of traffic comes and goes, and probably the busiest place is the beverage counter at Xiaoboqi's place.

At first, little Bochi was even reluctant to show his face and just squatted under the counter to pass the drinks over.

Later, when he heard Ye Mu sweeping the floor outside, he slowly stood up from downstairs.

"I have no problem with a dinner party. As a reward, I'll tell you a secret. The store manager is actually a hopeless tsundere, so you can just listen to her words the other way around."

PA-chan's breath was as sweet as orchid. She asked Ye Mu to bend down and started to whisper to her.

"I see. No wonder she always seemed so weird to me."

Ye Mu held the broom and bent down to listen.
