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

The lunch break and the two hours before the afternoon opening, a total of about four hours of free time, are left to each band to resolve.

Energetic young people, such as the Osaka band Namba Girls, are even planning to take this opportunity to travel around Tokyo.

Before leaving, they even invited the band to travel with them, but unfortunately the latter already had an appointment.

In Shinjuku, in a family western restaurant next to the FLOT performance hall, a large group of young women filled an entire semicircular booth.

The characters include the End Band, the four girls from Sideros, and Hiroi Kikuri who was picked up along the way. Hiroi Kikuri sits in the middle of the two bands, and the two people next to her are Pochi-chan and Ootsuki Yuyuko.

"I was originally invited to ease the tension, but with Hiroi sitting here, the atmosphere seems to be still tense."

Hong Xia turned her head and whispered sharply to Ye Mu.

"That's right... You can't expect an alcoholic who's dizzy all day to have any emotional intelligence."

Ye Mu glanced at Hiroi Kikuri who was wolfing down the beef in front of him, and nodded in agreement.

SickHackK was the protagonist of today and was the last to perform during the rehearsal. However, because Hiroi Kikuri was drunk somewhere again, she didn't show up and didn't answer the phone, so the members of SickHack played a vocal-less version in anger and then left.

"If that guy doesn't come in the afternoon, we can just play like this during the afternoon live. No one can hear the bass anyway."

They said this before leaving.

Then, the two bands that came to the family restaurant met Hiroi Kikuri, who was drunk and still walking towards Flot, on the road, and then the situation developed into what it is now.

"Really, sister, you should also pay attention~"

Otsuki Yuyuko said with heartache as she looked at Hiroi Kikuri who was eating voraciously.

"Hey, it's okay. This has happened more than once or twice!"

She raised her head, raised the corners of her greasy mouth, and smiled foolishly, seeming to be quite proud.

"However, have you guys reconciled?" She blinked twice and looked around. "You're actually going out for dinner together!"

"Who, who wants to make peace with them! We are still rivals! Rivals!"

Yuyuko Otsuki crossed her arms over her chest and raised her chin, making a tsundere expression that couldn't be more classic.

Seeing this, several girls in her band sighed helplessly.

But who can blame their leader for having such a personality? The senior members of their band have been replaced several times before.

Let them be rivals, that’s just the way Otsuki Yuyuko is.

Just like that, this dinner that was intended to ease the relationship was once again ruined because of the appearance of Hiroi Kikuri and Otsuki Yuyuko's dishonesty.

During this time, Hiroi Kikuri did not behave like an adult at all. Instead, she was so hungry that she kept putting her fork into the plates of Pochi-chan and Ootsuki Yuyuko. Not only did this not ease the relationship, but it made them seem jealous.

Everyone finished their food in silence, then paid the bill and left.

…………

In the afternoon, when the band returned to Flot after spending time on the swings in the park, the bustling crowd had already filled most of the venue.

After squeezing into the lounge with the help of the gig bags with the backstage passes attached to them, everyone began to discuss the grand occasion in a low voice.

"Fan number one and two said there were about five or six fans outside who were finishing up the band."

Little Bochi held up his phone, raised his eyes from the screen, and reported the situation to everyone.

It's understandable. After all, Shinjuku is still some distance away from Shimokitazawa, and not everyone has the time to take the train here to watch the live show.

"It's something that was expected, so don't be disappointed."

Hongxia comforted everyone and made some pre-war mobilization.

“Instead of worrying about having few fans, I should first think about whether I will disappoint these fans if I don’t play well.”

"That's right," Ryo interrupted, grinning, "If you don't play well, the audience might curse at you and throw shoes at you."

Upon hearing this, Kita and Pochi, who were full of energy, instantly became listless, and the latter even started to tremble all over.

"Is this so scary?"

A drop of cold sweat appeared on Kita's head.

If this is true, then the lead singer standing in the C position is obviously the most vulnerable to attack!

"... Actually, it's possible. After all, most of the people in the audience are fans of Sister Hiroi. Can you imagine what she is like in normal times?"

Ye Mu thought for a moment and said hesitantly.

"He gave the fans the middle finger, swore at them, and spit at them."

Liang fully supplemented the "grand occasion" of Hiroi Kikuri's performance, and the center of their topic was sitting not far away, with a flushed face, drinking wine one gulp after another.

There were already two empty boxes of cheap wine on the table in front of her.

The fans who are treated like this must be quite important people!

Now even Hongxia was a little scared.

"It doesn't matter. If anyone dares to throw it, I will just pick it up and throw it back. This is the interaction with the audience on stage."

Ye Mu said half-jokingly and half-seriously that although throwing shoes was a joke, there was no guarantee that someone would really swear.

These negative things brought about by rock music should be kept away from girls.

puff.

The four girls were amused by him and immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

While they were chatting and laughing, Otsuki Yuyuko's group was called away by the staff to go backstage to prepare, which also meant that there was still time for two more bands to perform before the final band went on stage.

"Hey, everyone, come sit over here!"

Almost ten minutes after the band ended, the wine cabinet ghost sister finally noticed their presence and shouted quite loudly, motioning for them to sit in the empty seats left by Sideros.

"I tell you, there's no need to be nervous. The audience is quite tolerant," after they sat down, Hiroi Kikuri began to give everyone psychological counseling, "For example, last time I forgot the lyrics halfway through singing, and the fans didn't react too much."

Are you sure it's not because they're used to it?

Several people complained silently in their hearts, but no one said it out loud to prevent Hiroi Kikuri from continuing.

Seeing that everyone just nodded to her perfunctorily, the alcoholic sister suddenly felt aggrieved.

She stood up and quite tactlessly squeezed in between Ye Mu and Xiao Boqi and sat down, putting her arms on their shoulders.

I thought she would continue to be so frivolous, but unexpectedly, Hiroi Kikuri suddenly opened her eyes and said in a serious tone:

"Listen to me, when you play, you should first enjoy the process, instead of competing from the beginning and thinking about winning over someone."

“It’s good to be ambitious, but you can’t rush for success.”

"Youyouzi has this idea. She has changed three teammates in three years. You are different from her, so I don't want you to have a rift because of such a small matter."

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Ryo, Nijika, and Kita to hear.

I didn't expect that the alcoholic sister would sometimes show her reliable side.

Chapter 226 Otsuki: Isn’t your name Goto Bochi?

When Hiroi Kikuri saw that everyone looked understanding, she smiled with relief.

Otsuki Yuyuko, who is like a younger sister to her, keeps making mistakes in this regard, and she doesn't want the band to make the same mistakes.

As the captain, she constantly expelled teammates for reasons such as "slowing down the beat" and "weak harmony". Although the level of teammates has indeed improved a lot after a few rounds, what do those expelled teammates think?

Many people get together with her because they like her music, and anyone who is questioned like this would not feel good.

As an observer, Hiroi Kikuri knew that the most typical incident was when Yuyuko fired the bassist, and the drummer also resigned because he could not accept the bassist's withdrawal.

She has been the one changing teammates in the past three years. If she continues like this, maybe Otsuki Yuyuko herself will be replaced!

And the feeling of being the captain...

To win or lose, she had to go to such lengths, which must have made her feel very uncomfortable, and it might even have aggravated her social barriers.

She is arrogant and not frank. When she encounters problems, she can only look for her sister to twist and turn. She has a very stubborn temper and can't get along well with the band members...

Hiroi Kikuri felt a headache just thinking about her.

clap clap clap...

Even through several walls, everyone could hear the applause coming from the main hall.

"Stop the band, please stop the band and come backstage!"

The door to the main stage opened and the staff called out to the green room.

Here we are.

Everyone looked at each other and saw nervousness and excitement in each other's eyes.

Hong Xia turned to face everyone, rolled up the sleeves of the band's custom-made sweatshirt, and stretched out her hand.

I won't compete with Otsuki Yuyuko for victory or defeat, but I still have to show my own momentum.

Then, everyone put their hands up one by one, and finally, even the drunkard sister did the same.

"Come on, everyone!"

…………

The shining spotlights, the boiling audience, the waves of cheering and clapping made people dizzy.

The atmosphere is completely different from Fanxing. Compared with the place that can be restrained to cater to Hongxia, Flot is more inclined towards psychedelic rock in terms of decoration and audience. No wonder ScikHack is the resident band here.

When the girls' buzzing heads started to work again, they found that they had been taken to the lounge by Ye Mu, and Ye Mu and Fan No. 1 were giving psychological counseling to Xiao Boqi.

It was not difficult to tell from the pink-haired girl's trembling body that she was frightened by the fanatical and agitated audience below the stage.

"Don't be scared, Pochi-chan~ Just now a lot of people were praising you for being cute, um... saying things like 'Such a shy girl can surprisingly play the guitar so well'."

Fan number one gently patted little Bochi's back, while Ye Mu stroked her head. With these two methods working together, the girl who was about to faint finally had some color on her face.

Seeing her finally open her eyes and begin to look around in confusion and weakness, Ye Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

"If I pass out here, I'm afraid the other band members will have to call an ambulance."

"Yeah, that's great."

Fan number one lifted up little Bochi's bangs with a wet towel, wiped the sweat off her face, and then let Liang take his place.

"Pochi is great, the guitar tone is really clean today."

Liang acted like a veteran in the band, but she was clearly also among the stunned girls.

It is obvious that she is doing this now to restore her image and prove that she is not panicking at all.

After Xiao Boqi woke up, Ye Mu finally noticed the female college student next to him:

"But speaking of which...how did Fan No. 1 get in? I remember you need a pass to enter the lounge."

“She was the one who brought me in~”

Pink No. 1 stuck out her tongue playfully and pointed her finger at Otsuki Yuyuko who was hiding in the corner and pretending to be calm.

Everyone's eyes were on the girl with twin ponytails who wanted to show some concern but couldn't bring herself to do it.

"Thank you, Youyouzi-chan," Fan No. 1 put his hands together, with cute dimples on his cheeks, "for giving me the opportunity to take care of my idol backstage!"

"Thank you for your concern, Insincere Ootsuki."

Ye Mu also laughed.

The latter coughed a few times awkwardly, turned her head hard, and her flying long ponytail almost hit Ye Mu's nose.

"Who, who is not frank, it's just... heroes sympathize with each other, yes, sympathize with each other!"

After finding a reason for herself, she calmed down a lot:

"The end of the band...especially Goto Pochi, I recognize your ability."

"However, this isn't the last duel. I'm sure you guys are also attending the festival. See you at the final review!"

She stretched out her arm and pointed at the people in the band with great authority.

However, the passionate scene that Otsuki Yuyuko imagined did not appear. On the contrary, the people on the opposite side looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Wait, what's your name, Pochi-chan?"

"Goto Pochi, isn't her last name Goto?"

puff.
