People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

"I want mineral water, too."

The three of them said what drinks they wanted.

(ps: A day in the life of Shiina Riki: In the morning, I sent a message to Dengbao but he didn’t reply. At noon, I felt pressured by Ai Yin Sushi. In the afternoon, I was blackmailed by Lenai. Before going to bed at night, I thought about my sister and Xiangzi and became more and more angry. Finally, Zisha)

Chapter 17: The Head Coach is Warming Up

Soon, Ijichi Hongxia brought drinks, and after chatting for a while, they were ready to get down to business.

After all, they still have two hours until the performance, so they have to hurry up and rehearse.

"Goto-san, what song can you play?"

Ichichi Hongxia asked.

“I’ll always have the most popular ones…”

Goto Ichiri said softly, while she encouraged herself in her heart.

Otonashi-san recommended her to them, which showed their trust in her, so she absolutely could not make the same mistake as before, otherwise it would bring shame to Otonashi-san.

Calm down, Goto Ichiri, you're the best! You're a guitar hero! How can a hero back down from a fight?!

In this way, Goto Ichiri kept cheering herself up in her heart and tried hard to focus all her attention on the guitar in her hand, so that she would not care too much about other people's eyes.

Ijichi Hongxia chose a popular hit song. Although there was no lead singer, it allowed her to better focus on the performance.

Thus began the first duet of the three.

As the music started, Otonashi Sota and Toyokawa Shoko, who were sitting in the audience, couldn't help but frown.

How should I put it...the performance of these three people sounds like a dance of demons.

The emphasis is on you playing yours and I playing mine, and the rhythm is even more fragmented.

本来乐队表演这种事应该是1+1+1大于3的，但现在的话可能是1+1+1=0了。

An ensemble without coordination is worse than a solo by one person.

When the song ended, Goto Ichiri returned from his own world and looked at Otonashi Sota excitedly, wanting to hear his opinion.

Because this time she felt that her performance was okay, at least much better than the first time.

However, the comments that came out of Otonashi Sota's mouth made her turn pale in an instant.

"That was terrible... Ahem, Goto, I'm not saying anything about you. Your performance was great this time, but your coordination was truly terrible."

"Ahahaha...it still doesn't work after all."

Ijichi Hongxia scratched her head a little embarrassedly. In fact, she knew how bad their performance was without Otonashi Sota telling her.

“Actually, everyone is pretty good, but maybe because we haven’t usually worked together much, things get really chaotic when we perform together.”

Toyokawa Shoko said tactfully.

"Indeed, if we don't talk about coordination, your reviews are actually pretty good, especially Yamada. He seems to have the reviews of a bassist in a famous band."

Otonashi Kanata said, touching his chin, and he was also a little surprised by Goto Ichiri's performance.

I originally thought this girl was just a beginner, but her performance just now was obviously much better than when she played for me before. It seems that her social anxiety personality is the key to her performance.

"you're so sight."

Yamada Ryo's lips curled up. Although she was a cool girl, the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye made her smile look a little charming.

"But you're a little too immersed in your own world. You don't care about your teammates, you only care about whether you have a good time playing. This kind of four-to-one mentality is not good."

"And Ijichi, I can see that you wanted to lead the rhythm, but it's obvious that you were led astray by the rhythm of the other two, so your own beat was messed up."

"Goto's problem is similar to Yamada's. You both just play your own parts. But this isn't a solo. You're a band. If you want to perform well, you have to work together."

Otonashi Souta pointed out the problems of the three people in one breath. Although there were many other problems, there was no time to correct too many of them now, so he could only take care of the most important things.

"Senpai Otonashi is right. If you want to cooperate well, the best way is to find a 'leader' and let her be responsible for controlling the rhythm of the whole game. The others just need to follow her rhythm."

Shoko Toyokawa also offered her own suggestions.

"There's no other way. Hongxia and Goto will follow me and play."

Yamada Ryo immediately stepped forward and said that he could be the "leader".

"No, it won't work if it's cold, because you'll definitely get lost in your own world while playing and start doing some impromptu performances."

Ijichi Hongxia shook her head repeatedly. Letting Yamada Ryo set the pace, isn't that a disturbance?

She herself is not very good either, and as for Goto Ichiri... forget it.

"In that case, then you come, Otonashi."

Yamada Ryo looked at the guitar case next to Otonashi Sota and chuckled.

"Didn't you bring your guitar here to prevent this from happening?"

Although Yamada Ryo didn't know Otonashi Sota's strength, it was not difficult to see from his accurate comments just now that his musical foundation was definitely not low.

So Yamada Ryo guessed that since the other party brought a guitar, it probably meant that they were thinking that there might be problems with their newly formed band and were ready to provide a backup.

"Heh, that's pretty clever, Yamada."

Otonashi Sota stood up with a smile and looked at Ijichi Kouka.

"Ijichi, can we temporarily add a guitarist and vocalist to the band when it's over?"

"Of course, Boss Otonashi, thank you so much for your help!"

Ijichi Higurashi clasped her hands together in gratitude towards Otono Sota.

Unexpectedly, Liang was actually useful this time. Although he went to the Yorozuya with the mentality of giving it a try, Ijichi Hongxia didn't expect that he could really find a guitarist, and now there is one more guitarist.

Is this a story about a river god?

Throw a guitarist into the river and get two guitarists!

"It's so great to be able to play in a band with Otonashi-san!"

Goto Ichiri's eyes also lit up. Being able to perform music with friends, what kind of real life is this?

Could it be that Goto Ichiri has evolved into a real person?

Mom and Dad, Erli and Jimmy Henry, did you all see it?!

"If Otonashi-senpai takes action, it should be fine."

Toyokawa Shoko said with a smile.

"By the way, since this is our band's first time performing on stage, why don't we try using new songs?"

Otonashi Sota tuned his guitar, then spoke as if he remembered something.

"New song?"

Yidi Zhihongxia was stunned for a moment.

"Ryo can compose music...but we haven't prepared any original songs yet."

"It's okay, I have it."

Otono Sota smiled calmly.

"And it's not difficult to play. If you want, you can give it a try. Of course, if Goto can't remember the music, just ignore what I said."

"No, no problem. I've always had a good memory."

Goto Ichiri said quickly.

With her guitar hero skills, she is confident that she can play the music skillfully even if it is the first time she sees the music.

(ps: My youth is Toyokawa Shoko, who is always the first in my heart. She broke through defense four times, was opened and closed three times, was blocked at the school gate twice, quit the group once, and has zero deposits)

Chapter 18: Pochi: This is the power of friendship!

"Otonashi-sama actually has original songs? That's amazing!"

Yidizhi Hongxia immediately cast an admiring gaze at him, but then she said a little embarrassedly,

"But isn't it a waste to use original songs for a small band like us?"

"What's so wasteful about it? I don't have a band to use my songs with, and I usually just entertain myself. I'd rather just say thank you for using my songs. After all, no matter what the song is, it only has value if someone listens to it."

Otonashi Souta said indifferently,

"Isn't that right, Yamada?"

"Just call me Liang."

Yamada Ryo crossed his arms coolly and smiled slightly.

"And me, Boss Otonashi, you can just call me Nijika."

Hongxia's mother also said this.

"No problem. Then Hongxia, don't call me Boss Otonashi all the time. I'm only a few years older than you guys. You can call me Otonashi or Sota."

Otonashi Soutai responded readily.

"In that case, I'll call you Brother Zou Tai, okay?"

Ijichi Hongxia also called out Otonashi Sota's name enthusiastically, and his regret of not being able to hear her call him brother from Mutoto was made up for by Hongxia.

“U-Um…”

Seeing the three of them exchanging names in the blink of an eye, Goto Ichiri on the side was full of envy. She also wanted to be called by name by Otonashi Kanata, but she didn't dare to speak. She could only watch the excitement of the three of them.

Fortunately, the gentle mother Hong Xia did not forget her. Seeing her envious look, she immediately understood her thoughts and smiled as she approached Goto Ichiri and said,

"Goto-san, can I call you Ichiri?"

“Yes, sure!”

Goto Ichiri nodded vigorously, his eyes full of surprise.

"Ichiri....Lonely....How about Pochi-chan? Can I call you that?"

Yamada Ryo muttered a few words, and then gave Goto Ichiri a homophonic nickname.

"Yamada-san, no matter what, calling me Pochi-chan is..."

Toyokawa Shoko's mouth twitched. Who would give someone a nickname like "dog"? Isn't that bullying?

"S-Sure! I'm Pochi!"

Before Toyokawa Shoko could finish her words, Goto Ichiri agreed with a happy look on his face.

Toyokawa Shoko: “….”

"Hehe....This is the first time someone has given me a nickname."

Goto Ichiri said cheerfully.

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say it."

Shoko Toyokawa shook her head, feeling both amused and helpless.

After some chatting and joking, Otonashi Souta sent the music score to them via LINE.

"Eh? Isn't this song... the same one Otonashi-san played in the shop earlier, 'Gradually Being Attracted to You'?"

When she saw the music score, Goto Ichiri knew at a glance that this was the song that Otonashi Sota had played for her and Toyokawa Shotan before.

"Yes, that's it."

Otonashi Sota nodded.

This song was once his childhood memory. Every time he heard it, he would think of Sun Wukong’s super cool Super Saiyan 4 transformation.

And even without the childhood filter, the quality of the song itself is very high, and it is also very rock and roll, which is perfect for a band to play.

"Wow, this song is so great, I can already feel the blood in my body boiling."

Ichichi Hongxia held the drumstick and couldn't help but start playing.

"Otonashi, if you have time, could you discuss composing with me?"

Yamada Ryo even directly extended an invitation.

"No problem, buddy."

"Otonashi-senpai, didn't you say before that you also wrote the lyrics for this song? Can you show it to me now?"
