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

"Also, have you noticed that the pink-haired kid in your band often sets his eyes on you?"

PA-chan glanced into the distance and little Pochi behind the counter hurriedly lowered his head.

puff.

PA-chan laughed, and her long black hair, which was gathered by the monitoring headphones hanging around her neck, trembled along.

“It’s great to be young.”

she sighed.

At 6:30 in the evening, after seeing off the last guest, Yidizhixingge locked the door of the stars.

The band’s first dinner together is about to begin.

Chapter 21: Kita-chan’s feet smell bad?

After a ten-minute "long journey", Ye Mu and his group finally arrived at the izakaya recommended by Ichichi Xingge.

Why do you say it is long?

Although all the seven people in the group except Ye Mu were very pretty girls, and they attracted a lot of attention when walking on the street, Ye Mu, who was surrounded by beautiful girls, also had to endure the strange looks from passers-by.

When Yamada Ryo found that Ye Mu was hiding from him, he curiously asked Ye Mu what was going on. After learning the reason, his eyes lit up, and he even deliberately got closer to Ye Mu, trying to pretend to be a dandy boy with his short hair.

Smelling the pleasant scent on her body, Ye Mu felt inexplicably guilty. He moved away calmly, but was caught up by Yamada Ryo.

So the two of them chased each other all the way and only stopped when they reached the store.

This izakaya is located in an office building and its decoration is very thoughtful. The dim lights and the wafting aroma of meat create a relaxing atmosphere.

Because there were so many people, we were naturally assigned a private room.

However, even in a private room, every inch of space is valuable, and after everyone found a comfortable spot to sit down, it seemed a bit crowded.

"This, this, and this, well, Ye Mu, have a drink."

As the oldest and most prestigious person (in his own opinion) present, Ijichi Hoshige naturally took the tablet used for ordering and placed his order.

"Well, drink it then."

Although it was a question, there was a sense of irresistibility in Yidizhi Xingge's words.

"That's all for now."

Ichichi Hoshige's fingers danced, and after clicking submit, he stretched his body and said lazily:

"Get ready to bleed a lot, Ye Mu."

Seeing Ichichi Hoshika like this, PA-chan covered her mouth with her long sleeves and smiled with narrowed eyes:

"But the drinks you ordered just now were all cheap."

"Shut up, or I'll deduct your salary."

After being exposed, Ijichi Hoshika felt a little embarrassed and glared at PA-chan.

"Oh, I was wrong, Mr. Manager, please forgive me."

Ye Mu on the side didn't say much, his attention was completely attracted by other things.

Just now, the store manager stretched quite a bit, revealing his white waist under his black shirt, and even his small belly button could be vaguely seen.

Men are a little strange. They won’t look at women who are wearing belly-baring clothes, but will be attracted to women who are not wearing belly-baring clothes.

There were a lot of girls around him, and Ye Mu didn't want to be caught peeking, so even though he didn't mean to, he quietly moved his eyes to the tablet for ordering food and pretended to stare at that.

"Oh, I didn't expect the wine to come first."

When Yidizhi Xingge heard the sound of the door being pushed open, he stood up and took the tray with three glasses of wine.

Japanese people seem to prefer ordering individual glasses of wine at izakayas rather than just buying a bottle and pouring it themselves.

As she bent down to hand the wine to Ye Mu, she proudly announced to the others:

"The juice for you kids hasn't come up yet, just watch us adults drink it first! Don't try to imitate us~"

Ye Mu stood up slightly, took the wine and thanked him, then adjusted his position calmly.

Because this private room was so small, everyone was sitting almost shoulder to shoulder, and if Ye Mu was not careful, he might have physical contact with the girls.

Speaking of seats, the arrangement is equally interesting. To the left of Ye Mu is Xiao Boqi, to the right is Kita Ikuyo, and to the right are Yamada Ryo, Ijichi Nijika, Ijichi Hoshika and PA-chan.

[I was a little close to Kita just now, I hope she doesn't mind. ]

After Ye Mu moved towards Xiao Boqi, he thought secretly in his heart.

However, what he didn't expect was how sharp the girl's perception was, especially in the places he noticed.

Almost at the moment when Ye Mu made a move, Kita Ikuyo felt a huge wave of emotion in her heart.

[Oops, oops, it really has a flavor. ]

As a social expert, she naturally has a lot of activities in school.

Especially today, I participated in a basketball game in the afternoon and walked for half a day on the way to Fanxing. When Kita Ikuyo took off her shoes outside the room, she felt that the smell of her feet sweat was particularly strong.

Kita Yuyo bit her lip, thinking that Ye Mu's behavior was caused by her, and waves of shame kept hitting her brain.

[Xiao Xiduo, Xiao Xiduo, why don’t you know to carry deodorant with you! ]

Ye Mu also noticed Xiao Xiduo's abnormality and thought that he had been discovered for secretly flirting with Yidi Chixingge, and he felt embarrassed for a moment.

He probably couldn't have imagined that Kita Ikuyo would actually associate it with smelly feet, because not only did he not smell any strange odor at all, he even felt that there was a fresh scent of orange on Kita.

Even if there is some flavor, in Ye Mu's eyes it may be a plus point combined with her identity as a beautiful girl.

The awkwardness was soon diluted by the laughter and playfulness of the crowd as the dishes were served one after another.

After a few drinks, Yidi Zhixingge's words gradually became casual, and he boasted to everyone who had finished the band about the high spirits he had just formed.

"I was also the best guitarist in Shimokitazawa back then."

Ichichi Hoshige said this with a blush on her face.

Even the usually quiet PA, under the influence of alcohol, began to talk about her experiences in live streaming.

Hearing this, not wanting to be outdone, Yamada Ryoya said that he often uploaded his collection of guitars to the Internet, which had attracted the attention of many fans.

"Speaking of guitar, for some reason, my guitar never makes any sound, only a muffled bass."

Kita Ikuyo was also trying hard to join in the conversation in an attempt to ease the awkwardness.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and their eyes stayed on her.

Seeing that everyone was stunned, Kita Ikuyo thought to herself that something was wrong and she had accidentally revealed to the store manager that she couldn't play the guitar.

“Could it be that you didn’t plug in the effects pedal?”

The PA asked from the perspective of a sound engineer.

Kita Ikuyo shook her head, took the gig bag behind her, and opened it vertically:

“Look, this is the guitar.”

The atmosphere fell into complete silence, and Kita Ikuyo witnessed their expressions changing from confusion to shock.

"This seems to be... bass."

Ijichi Hongxia said uncertainly.

"How is that possible? I know that a guitar has six strings."

"Bass also has six strings, called a multi-string bass. So you bought the wrong one from the beginning."

As an authority, Ryo Yamada made the final judgment.

Kita Ikuyo was petrified.

"Wait, so you can't play guitar at all?"

The store manager realized it belatedly and reacted.

"That's not the point. I spent 20 yen to buy this!"

Five minutes later, everyone started discussing Kita Ikuyo's deeds.

"Forget it. I still have the same attitude. This is your band's own business. I won't interfere, but there will definitely be an assessment."

Ichichi Xingge took a sip of wine, and the collision of her lips with the ice cubes shaking in the glass made her sigh with satisfaction.

As it turns out, no matter how delicious strawberry milk is, wine is still the best choice for adults to have fun.

"Xiao Xiduo, as long as you are willing to join our band, we will help you find that unscrupulous store owner and ask her to refund you."

"After all, you don't want to spend your 20 yen on a fire stick, do you?"

This is Ye Mu. His words made Ichichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo roll their eyes.

Chapter 22 ends with the band being complete!

The result of the discussion was that under Ye Mu's "coercion and inducement", Kita Ikuyo reluctantly agreed to join the band.

"Don't worry, Little Pochi and I will teach you how to play the guitar. It's actually very simple."

"Well, if you can't return your bass, I can buy it, or lend you a guitar."

Yamada Ryo's tone was calm, but it gave Kita Ikuyo a shot of adrenaline in the end.

[As expected of a senior, so handsome! 】

After hearing what Yamada Ryo said, Kita Ikuyo turned into a fangirl again, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Yamada Ryo changed.

"Kita-san, you also want to be the one standing on the stage and shining brightly, right?"

Little Pochi asked quietly.

As a person with social phobia, observing the subtle expressions of others when they are talking and guessing their psychology can be said to be a passive skill.

And she noticed a flash of envy in the look that Kita Ikuyo just gave to Ye Mu and Yamada Ryo.

Good question! You are my mouthpiece, little Pochi!

Ye Mu's eyes lit up, he relaxed, and waited quietly for Kita Ikuyo's monologue.

"how do you know……"

Kita Ikuyo looked at him with wide eyes in surprise, bit her lips, and looked lonely:

"Yes, the intentions of people like me can no longer be guessed."

"After seeing Ryo-senpai's cool performance in Shimokitazawa, I wanted to be like her, so I deceived Hongxia and hurriedly joined the band."

Ijichi Hongxia opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but gave up.

The store manager and PA-chan, the two adults standing by, also quieted down and drank their wine slowly, one sip after another.

"He was said to be the lead singer and guitarist, but he turned out to be an idiot who couldn't even tell the difference between a bass and a guitar."

"I never knew why Ye Jun invited me to join the band. Was it because I'm pretty? But the band is full of cute girls..."

Kita Ikuyo gave a bitter smile, then thought of her smelly feet. She was afraid that she could not even be considered a beautiful girl.

It’s a pity that Ye Mu doesn’t know about her self-pity, otherwise I would have to express my opinion on this.

"It's really contradictory. I also want to stand on the stage and express myself freely like my predecessors and Ye Jun, but I can't do anything except singing, and I don't want to hold everyone back..."

The monologue ended, and everyone fell into silence and thought, with only a little noisy white noise outside the room filling the air.

“Don’t think too much, don’t look ahead or behind, and don’t be afraid of failure.”

Ye Mu spoke slowly, breaking the silence.

Three powerful words broke the confusion in Kita Yuyo's heart. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Ye Mu with anticipation.

Ye Mu's face turned red due to the alcohol, but his eyes were still clear, with a firmness that was different from his usual easy-going look.

Perhaps from the very beginning, Kita Ikuyo was already waiting for Ye Mu's encouragement.

"I believe in my intuition. From the moment I followed my intuition and found Pochi-chan on the streets of Shimokitazawa, I knew that our relationship was definitely not just a casual encounter."

Alcohol emboldened Ye Mu, and he began to speak frankly.

Upon hearing this, Little Pochi blushed and shrank into the corner of the room.
