People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

"What reward?"

Nagasaki Suyo asked in confusion.

No, sister, how come there's a reward for practicing the piano? How come she doesn't know? He didn't mention it when he taught her bass last time.

"Hey, Zou Zou promised me last week that as long as I practice guitar seriously, he'll play a song for us after I'm done."

Chihaya Aine clenched her fists and smiled triumphantly.

"Oh? Sota, are you still in need of someone to learn guitar?"

Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up and he asked directly.

"What? Are you going to give up your soul?"

Otonashi Sota laughed.

"Ounegai! Kita would do anything as long as he can hear Souta play!"

Yamada Ryo said sincerely.

"Eh? Is that me?"

Kita Ikuyo, who was suddenly shot, pointed at herself in confusion.

"You are a person who only thinks about yourself."

Otonashi Kanata cast a look of contempt at Yamada Ryo.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was standing by, didn't know why, but she suddenly felt offended and inexplicably felt a little unhappy...

It must be an illusion, right?

After some laughter, Otonashi Sota finally picked up the guitar and prepared to fulfill Chihaya Aine's request. After all, it was an appointment.

Yamada Ryo and the others also took out their mobile phones and turned on the recording function. While pointing the camera at Otonashi Sota, they asked,

"By the way, what song is Souta going to sing this time?"

"Let me think...how about singing the song I sang to her at Yili's house yesterday?"

Otonashi Souta thought about it.

"Huh? You went to Pochi-chan's house yesterday? And sang her a new song?"

Hearing this, Yamada Ryo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, revealing a thoughtful look.

It seems that Pochi-chan is not as timid as she looks.

"Don't you know? I thought she would tell you guys."

Otonashi Sota was a little surprised, but didn't think much about it.

"Yili actually got to hear the senior's performance first, and by himself... I'm so envious!"

Kita Ikuyo showed an envious expression.

"Haha, don't worry, you will hear it soon."

Yin Wuzota smiled and lightly stroked the strings with his fingers.

"Then, please listen to the song 'Sunny Day'."

----------------

After Kita Ikuyo returned home, she couldn't wait to take out her mobile phone and tagged Goto Ichiri in the group chat.

【Kita: @Goto Ichiri, Ichiri, why didn't you tell us that Senior came to your house yesterday? Aren't we good friends?】

[Goto Ichiri: .....Why does Kita know....]

【Kita: Of course, it’s because our seniors told us.】

Goto Ichiri: Red bean paste, you're so fucking awesome!!! (kneels and kowtows)

Kita: Ah, there's no need to apologize, Ichiri. Senior said he went to your house to help you clear up your family's misunderstandings. I just wanted to say that you could come to me for this kind of thing, and I'd definitely help. After all, you've always been so dedicated to teaching me guitar, so I'd like to help you, too, if I can.

Goto Ichiri: I, I understand. Thank you, Kita. (Happy)

Yamada Ryo: Now, let's move on to the next part—why didn't Pochi tell us that Ai Sota sang a new song? Did you want to keep it to yourself?

【Goto Ichiri: !!!】

【Kita: How is that possible, Ryo-senpai? I must have forgotten. What's so special about this?】

When Goto Ichiri, who was hiding in the closet, saw the message sent by Kita Ikuyo, he was sweating profusely.

In fact, although she didn't want to enjoy Otonashi Souta's new song alone, she did have a little bit of possessiveness and wanted to listen to it for a few more days before others knew about it.

After all, this is a new song that Sota sang exclusively for her, a song that no one else has heard yet. Just thinking of this, she felt like she was wrapped in a sea of happiness while listening to the song.

Originally, she wanted to wait until tomorrow to go to Fanxing to tell her friends that Sota sang a new song, but she didn't expect that Kita would reveal it today.

Now Goto Ichiri felt like her dark thoughts were exposed to the sun, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

I'm sorry, Xiduo! I betrayed your trust! At this moment, only suicide can wash away this sin, right?

[Ijichi Nijika: What are you talking about? ]

At this moment, Hong Xia's message also appeared in the group.

After briefly understanding what happened, Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but fall into silence.

She...seems to be the leader of the ending band?

But why does it seem like she, the team leader, is being excluded by her friends?

Zouta went to Pochi-chan's house on Saturday and sang a new song for her alone. Then Ryo went to play with him again on the weekend. Kita went to practice piano with him and also heard his new song.

what about me?

Ijichi Hongxia reviewed what she was doing this weekend.

I went shopping with my classmates on Saturday, helped out in the store in the afternoon, and also helped out in the store on the weekend.

Haha...isn’t this good?

[Ijichi Nijika: .....It's great, everyone, that we can have so much fun playing with Kanata-san.]

Come to think of it, it seems that she is the only one who has not contacted Zou Tai in private?

Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Is it possible that the only way to keep up with the others and not be excluded is to go to see Sota-kun in private?

But wouldn't that be a date?

Or has no one actually thought about it this way?

Ijichi Hongxia didn't know what everyone was thinking, but she couldn't stand staying in Fanxing anymore.

"...Sister, I'm going out for a while."

"what?"

Without waiting for Yidizhi Xingge to ask, Yidizhi Hongxia had already run away quickly.

"This girl, why is she still going out when it's almost evening?"

Yidizhi Xingge looked at the time and couldn't help but complain.

"Forget it, as long as I'm not looking for a man."

She couldn't help but laugh when she said this. After all, she knew her sister best. How could the well-behaved and lovely Hong Xia go out to look for boys so late at night?

Ijichi Xingge is still quite confident in her sister. After all, Hongxia is even more reliable than her in some things.

She guessed that Hongxia probably forgot to buy something and was in a hurry to leave because she was afraid that the store would close too late.

Twenty minutes later, Ijichi Hongxia looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar Yorozuya in front of her, feeling a little hesitant.

Ijichi Hongka has an angelic personality, but even angels have troubles and worries.

To be honest, she didn't know why she ran over here on impulse.

But if you think about it calmly, the cause of this problem is not difficult to find.

She was just afraid of being left behind.

She wanted to do what everyone had done, and she didn't want to be excluded.

Of course, there was also a little bit of her own selfish motives involved.

Everyone has heard Souta's new song live, except her. She must be very envious of everyone.

Although Pochi-chan and Kita both uploaded Souda-kun's singing video in the group, it was obviously not as good without the process.

But now that they had arrived at the door of the Yorozuya, Ijichi Hongxia felt a little embarrassed to knock on the door.

After all, to put it bluntly, she came here for her own 'selfish desires'. Ijichi Nijihara's summer angel personality made her feel guilty and ashamed for bothering Otonashi Sota, so she was stuck here.

"Hongxia? Why are you standing at the door?"

Just when Ijichi Hongxia was struggling and hesitating, the door of the Yorozuya suddenly opened from the inside, and then she saw Otonashi Sota looking at her with a puzzled look on his face.

"....I'm sorry, Sota-nii!"

Ijichi Hongxia pursed her lips, then suddenly bent down towards Otonashi Sota and apologized loudly.

"No, did I miss two chapters?"

Otonashi Sota was completely stunned.

Did he accidentally skip Hong Xia's storyline? How come Hong Xia apologized to him the moment she showed up after not seeing him for a few days?

Five minutes later, Ijichi Hongxia sat on the chair in the living room with a guilty look on her face, and was a little afraid to look at Otonashi Sota's face.

"So that's how it is..."

After listening to Ijichi Kouka talk about her "selfish desires", Otonashi Sota finally understood why the other party apologized to him right away.

"Pfft—I didn't expect Hongxia to have such troubles."

Otonashi Sota couldn't help but laugh.

"Hmm....Brother Souta, please feel free to laugh at me. I know my idea this time was really stupid."

Ijichi Hongxia covered her little face with her hands and complained to herself as if she had given up.

"Haha, no no, I just think you're so cute, Hongxia."

Otonashi Sota smiled and said,

"Because Hongxia, you always act like a reliable and gentle mother, taking care of everyone as if you can do anything. So when I see you now, I envy others and don't want to be left out. I really think you are so cute."

"Eh? Is that so..."

Hearing what Otonashi Sota said, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly felt even more shy, but she felt a little happy in her heart.

"It's normal to be selfish. Otherwise, you'd be a saint."

Otonashi Sota chuckled.

"And didn't I say that? We're good friends, and we're in a band together. You can always ask me about this little thing. There's no need to feel any burden or think you're bothering me or anything like that."

"Sometimes I think you could learn to be a little more thick-skinned like Liang. If you could have even one-tenth of her mentality, life would be much easier."

"Well.... forget about learning Liang."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled and shook her head, but her heart was completely relaxed.

"Then, Brother Souta, your new song..."

Ichichi Hongxia cast an expectant look at Otono Sota.

"Don't worry, it's time for dinner. I just made some food. Do you want to eat together?"

Otonashi Sota suggested.

"Eh? Sota-san, can you cook?"

Hearing this, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Well, a friend bought some food for me today, and I figured I couldn't let it go to waste, right? So I decided to make myself some dinner."

Otonashi Sota laughed and said,

"By the way, I was almost done cooking when the owner of the shop next door called me and said there was a little girl standing outside my door for a long time. If it weren't for that call, I wouldn't have known you were standing there like an idiot."

(ps: Is it funny? I don’t think it’s as funny as Xiangzi inviting the entire martial arts hall to watch him get his box opened)
