"But the guitarist over there... Little Pochi (?) is okay, right?"
"Don't worry, she's amazing, she's just too insecure."
Upon hearing this, Hiroi Kikuri's smile froze, and then she nodded thoughtfully.
"I see. Come on then."
Ye Mu took out his guitar, then sat down cross-legged, resting the guitar against his thighs.
There's no way around it. Yamada Ryo doesn't seem to have a strap for his acoustic guitar, so it's obviously not a good idea to play it while standing.
Ye Mu gently plucked the strings twice, took a deep breath, and put his face close to the microphone which was almost as low.
"Hello everyone, we are the ending band of the Incomplete Body. We are glad that you are willing to stop by..."
The energetic voice was amplified to the right degree by the microphone and came out of the speakers.
"Then please enjoy our band's original song "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet"!"
After saying that, Ye Mu turned around and looked at Hiroi Kikuri and Xiao Bochi who had opened their eyes. After confirming each other's condition, the performance officially began.
Xiao Boqi stepped on the pedal, and the unique distorted tone of the electric guitar lifted the atmosphere. Then he strummed the strings of the wooden guitar with an external pickup, replacing the gong sound as the drum beat, leading the song into the prelude.
"Suddenly falling and setting up an umbrella"
The unique boyish voice, coupled with the slightly heavy lyrics, suddenly brightened the eyes of the listeners who were tired of the youth style. The previous whispers also fell silent and everyone listened quietly.
Among them, the two girls in the front row were the most serious, and they even stood on tiptoe to keep the rhythm.
Hiroi Kikuri was very surprised and shocked by the skills of the two temporary partners, and she played even harder.
Because there are so few instruments, the bass rarely shows its unique presence.
Well, although to people who don’t understand music, it still sounds like a bang.
If the street performance goes as normal, the onlookers will be amazed at the superb skills of the band, and maybe two or three people will be willing to buy tickets and become fans of the band.
However, after a few days, most people will quickly forget the existence of the band. They will only remember that there seemed to be a band performing well on the street on the evening of the fireworks display, but that was all.
The effect Ye Mu wants to achieve is better than this. He has a bold idea. If successful, it may leave a deeper impression on the audience.
When he got to the second verse of the lyrics, he suddenly did something that surprised everyone around him.
When the interlude ended, Ye Mu spoke again, but it was no longer in Japanese, but in Chinese.
"I dream of standing in the center of the stage, the winner of the flowers, ah ah ah"
“The struggle between socializing and dressing up in four seasons”
“Try to give up the desire gap”
The atmosphere around them suddenly became oddly quiet. Ye Mu didn't know whether it was a good or bad effect. His voice trembled slightly, but now he could only insist on singing.
Simply reproducing the original songs will certainly not achieve the effect of bringing out all the band members. In the current environment, it is better to find another way.
“Strangely, the world doesn’t answer.”
"ような火光るなよ"
When it came to the climax, Ye Mu switched back to Japanese again, and the seamless transition between Chinese and Japanese lyrics seemed to really work!
At the end of the second chorus, Xiao Boqi's solo of pushing and rubbing the strings began, and Ye Mu could clearly feel that more and more people were following the beat.
There is a phenomenon called the "native language shyness" effect.
When it comes to music, this sometimes happens when people get used to listening to songs in their native language and then switch to foreign language versions, finding the foreign language versions better than their native language versions.
The audience in the audience was just like this. Although they didn't understand the lyrics, it was precisely because they didn't understand that it was particularly arousing their imagination and they could imagine the meaning of the Chinese part.
When the song ended, Ye Mu stood up nervously and bowed to everyone. When he raised his head, he heard spontaneous applause from the audience.
"Hey bro, is the second verse in Chinese? Your Chinese is amazing!"
The pretty girl in the first row was shouting and laughing while she was having trouble.
More people turned their attention to the whiteboard filled with LIVE information.
"End of the band, STARRY showroom, next Saturday afternoon..."
"Hey bro, do you have any tickets left for your band's show?"
The one who is close to the water gets the moon first. The girl called "Fan No. 1" quickly pulled the sleeve of "Fan No. 2" next to her to remind her to buy a ticket.
"Of course!"
Little Bochi showed a look of delight, and even took out the four tickets he had on him before Ye Mu could say anything.
"I want it! (Give it to me!)"
"..."
Many people crowded over and stretched out their hands at the same time, making it look like something out of a zombie movie.
Xiao Boqi's social phobia was successfully activated. She took a few steps back in fear, stuffed the ticket in her hand into Ye Mu's hand, and quickly hid behind the speaker.
God knows how she shrunk to the size of a speaker.
"Give……"
Ye Mu swallowed and handed out the ticket tremblingly. Almost instantly, he was submerged in the crowd.
Japanese people tend to stick together in strange ways in some aspects. For example, when they go to a snack bar, the food may taste average, but as long as there are a few people queuing at the door, it won’t be long before more and more people will be standing in line.
At this point, the thing itself is no longer important, but queuing becomes a unique new experience.
"Everyone take the ticket and then pay!"
Seeing that they couldn't get tickets, many people simply grabbed two 1000 yen bills and stuffed them into Ye Mu's hands, trying to overtake him.
The four tickets had already been sold out, but Ye Mu found that he couldn't leave.
Yes, many people even climbed up his collar and took advantage of the chaos to touch him.
Where's little Pochi? Save him... Forget it, Ms. Hiroi, why are you just watching!
The drunkard with a single ponytail was watching with great interest, taking a leisurely sip of wine from time to time.
After struggling for a long time, Ye Mu barely escaped from the clutches of the devil.
You know, there are not only OL ladies wearing white shirts in the crowd, but also many bald uncles.
However, before he could catch his breath, another handful of tickets was stuffed into his hands.
Looking back, he saw that Yamada Ryo was standing behind him without him noticing.
"Mr. Ye, please help me sell my share. Can you bear to see me being touched by others?"
Before he could finish his words, Yamada Ryo couldn't hold it in anymore and smiled sinisterly.
Chapter 82: Drunk
Naturally, the eight tickets were sold out, and the loud music and the crowded crowd also attracted the police's attention. Ye Mu did not regret not being able to continue playing. To be honest, he even felt a little lucky.
After packing up the mess of musical instruments and sound effects, the three of them carried large and small bags and walked towards a restaurant under the guidance of Liang, but there was one more person in the team.
That’s right, the drunk older sister also followed.
"Ms. Hiroi, uh, aren't you going home?"
Yamada Ryo quietly told Ye Mu that they would see the store after turning another corner. He finally couldn't help it and asked Hiroi Kikuri in a tactful but awkward manner.
"Um?"
The silly older sister behind me blinked her eyes and said, "Isn't there going to be a celebration party for the street performance?"
“…Let’s just say so.”
“So I followed.”
"It's too late for you to say that. You followed us quietly. If someone didn't know you, they would think you were a kidnapper with bad intentions."
"Eh... I thought there was no need to talk about our relationship anymore."
Hiroi Kikuri touched her head and smiled, revealing a row of sharp, jagged teeth.
He's so familiar with everyone for some unknown reason.
But it doesn’t matter, just add one more person. I hope she doesn’t get drunk, otherwise I won’t have the time to carry her back.
Picking up corpses? Forget it, Ye Mu doesn’t have any feelings for such a drunkard.
Today is not a working day, and the crowd waited in line for half an hour before they could get in.
After getting the menu, Ye Mu realized that this restaurant was a seafood buffet, but it was divided into three levels according to the degree of luxury.
"this!"
Yamada Ryo placed his slender fingers on the highest-priced item.
King crab legs, salmon fillets, and oysters buffet, 5999 yen per person, you really dare to order it!
Facing Ye Mu's gaze, Yamada Ryo still had a blank expression on her face, but she felt uneasy inside. She even thought for two seconds whether she had gone too far.
"Okay then, a luxurious buffet for four people."
After Ye Mu finished speaking to the waiter, he felt his wallet was dripping with blood.
"Okay~"
Yamada Ryo's bright yellow eyes sparkled. She snatched the ordering tablet and started placing orders frantically. Hiroi Kikuri, who was sitting next to her, was equally impatient. As soon as Yamada Ryo finished ordering, she naturally took the tablet.
From this drunkard's perspective, this was a perfect drinks buffet.
When it was Ye Mu's turn to order, the display showed that there were already more than a dozen plates of salmon and king crab legs ready to be served.
"Can you finish all this order?"
"Don't you still have it?"
Yamada Ryo asked back.
Well, Ye Mu simply gave the tablet to Xiao Boqi.
Eh? Do you want me to order?
Little Bochi was obviously a little flustered. It seemed that the last time he got the chance to order food was during the last dinner party.
After flipping it a few times, she saw the oysters and salmon that she had only seen on videos. After hesitating for a long time, Xiao Boqi finally chose... fried chicken nuggets.
"I, I've made my choice."
The fried chicken nuggets are just average. I think you won’t think I’m a country girl anymore.
Ye Mu took the tablet reluctantly. It was indeed a long and arduous journey for little Bochi to get rid of his shyness.
While waiting for the food to be served, Ye Mu suddenly felt his calf being kicked.
Sitting opposite were Hiroi Kikuri and Yamada Ryo. Feeling Ye Mu looking at her, Hiroi Kikuri bit the straw of the boxed wine and blinked twice in confusion.
There is only one answer.
"Liang, why did you kick me?"
Ye Mu asked loudly on purpose.
Unexpectedly, Yamada Ryo was not shy at all. He first glanced at Xiao Bochi, and then spoke openly.
"It just feels like, Pochi is still so shy after being with us for a few days. If we want to cure social phobia, we still have to fight poison with poison."
Yamada Ryo laid on the table with his face close to Pochi, staring straight into the blue eyes that were trying to hide.
"When Lucia was first established in the last century, in order to develop the economy, it adopted a policy that went against the grain. It was called shame therapy. Little Pochi can try it, too."
There are so many points to complain about that I don't know where to start. I can only say that Yamada Ryo's head is indeed empty. Not to mention that he called shock therapy shame therapy, but the result seems to be a failure.
While Ye Mu was thinking, Yamada Ryo held Xiao Boqi's hand and smiled.
"So, little Pochi, the more shy you are, the bolder you should be. Let's have a street performance in front of the school next time!"
Performing in front of so many classmates?
Little Pochi's mouth twisted into a wavy shape just by thinking about it.
Xieliang, you've had enough. You can hardly hold back the sinister smile on your face!
Just when Ye Mu finally couldn't help but take action, several plates of king crab legs were brought up. Yamada Ryo quickly let go of Xiao Bochi's hand and grabbed the crab legs instead.
