People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

Toyokawa Shoko asked with interest.

"Hmm... Hey, please allow me to keep you in suspense for now~~ You'll know when you listen later."

Otonashi Souta thought about it and decided to keep it a surprise.

After all, a song will give the greatest surprise when it is sung in its entirety.

"Haha, then I'll be looking forward to Otonashi-senpai's next performance~~"

Toyokawa Shoko smiled and blinked at Asane Musota, and the look on her face was so adorable.

The succubus Bai Xiang also exerted his strength.

Soon, everyone who got the music score began to rehearse intensively.

Although it was a new song, because the veteran Yuin Wuzota was the lead guitarist and led the overall rhythm, everyone's performance was much better than the first time they performed together.

Is Yamada Ryo lost in her own world? Then use more intense guitar to pull her back!

Is Ichichi Hongxia's rhythm off? Then gently guide her back on track.

As for Goto Ichiri? Her performance actually surprised Otonashi Souta.

The aloofness and poor performance in their first performance together seemed to have never existed, and her guitar followed Otonashi Sota steadily.

The coordination between the two guitars was like a tacit three-person team effort, without any mistakes.

Only then did Otonashi Sota realize that his judgment of Goto Ichiri's strength was wrong. Her strength was definitely not just that of a beginner. She was even stronger than those who had studied guitar for four or five years!

If the first time Goto Ichiri played for him was when he was in kindergarten, then when she played with Hongxia and the others she was an elementary school student, but now, she was already a college student.

Otonashi Kanata was very curious about why Goto Ichiri was able to make such a big change in such a short period of time.

But if he looked back at this moment, he would find that the pink figure was not lowering its head like before.

The girl raised her head, opened her eyes, and fixed her gaze on Otonashi Sota, looking at the light that was pulling her out of the abyss.

Before yesterday, she had never imagined that she would be able to chat with people of her age like friends, be given nicknames, join a band, and even perform on stage. All of this was brought to her by Otonashi-san.

Although she was still afraid of other people's gazes, as long as Otonashi-san was by her side, it was enough. She only had to look at him and follow him step by step.

Just like this, it seems like an endless supply of strength is flowing out of my body.

Goto Ichiri knew that this was the legendary power of friendship.

In order to be friends with Otonashi-san for life, Goto Ichiri will use all his strength to respond to the other party's trust and help!

With repeated rehearsals, everyone's tacit understanding and proficiency are rapidly improving.

As the audience watched the band's rehearsal finished, Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but recall the band that belonged to her.

If nothing had happened in her family, would she still be able to laugh and play with her friends like she used to?

But the cold reality reminded her again and again that such a beautiful dream would never come true.

CRYCHIC is over, and she ended it with her own hands.

But when she thought of the pitiful girl who was like a little animal in her memory, she couldn't help but murmur in her heart -

Lights....are you okay?

(ps: Xiangzi had a fever, Miao Meng went to visit him and touched Xiangzi's forehead. Xiangzi said, "Fuck, stop taking advantage of my popularity," and then died)

Chapter 19 Gradually attracted to you

"Yili, we're about to go on stage, are you okay?"

The rehearsal time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the band to go on stage to perform.

Otonashi Sota looked at Goto Ichiri and asked with a smile.

"I, I'll try my best...!"

Goto Ichiri clenched his fists, his face was a little pale, but his expression was firm.

"It's okay. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. As a band, just enjoy yourself. Don't be afraid of making mistakes, and don't worry about the audience's attention. I'll take care of everything."

"If all else fails, I'll just take off my clothes and use my perfect body to conquer the audience."

Otonashi Kanata raised his arms and flexed his muscles, making a joke.

He knew that the little socially anxious person must be very nervous right now. After all, for a socially anxious person who doesn't even dare to look people in the eye, it is really difficult to perform in front of a lot of people.

But precisely because of this, as long as he succeeds, Goto Ichiri will gain tremendous benefits.

If you want to quickly build up self-confidence, success is always the best teacher.

"Will our band be banned immediately?"

Ijichi Hongxia made a joke, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and then looked at Goto Ichiri tenderly.

"Pochi-chan, I'm already very happy to have you and Sota-san here. After all, if it weren't for you, Ryo and I wouldn't be able to perform on stage, so just listen to Sota-san and enjoy the performance.

And even if we fail, it doesn’t matter, we can just come back next time.”

"Um....!"

Goto Ichiri nodded heavily.

"Well, come on, everyone. I'll be cheering you on from the audience."

Teacher Daxiang smiled and clapped his hands, giving everyone final encouragement.

A few minutes later, the girls went on stage with many complicated emotions including excitement, nervousness and joy.

To be honest, the Starry Performance Hall is indeed not very big, so it does not have as many audiences as other livehouses.

However, it seems that this has become an advantage now. After all, if there were too many people, Goto Ichiri and the others would be under a lot of pressure.

"Hello everyone! This is the Ending Band. I'm drummer Ichichi Nijika. Today's song will be an original song by our temporary guitarist Otonashi Sota. Stay tuned!"

Ijichi Hongka tapped her drumsticks and energetically introduced the band members to the audience.

The audience in the audience also came over and cast curious and expectant glances at this rising star band.

Apart from anything else, at least the band is extremely good-looking.

Except for Goto Ichiri, whose charm can only be seen after the "seal" is removed, the others, whether it is the lively and cute Ijichi Nijika, the cool and elegant beauty Yamada Ryo, or the sunny and handsome Otonashi Sota, are all top handsome guys and beautiful girls.

In the band circle, where appearance is very important, it is natural to attract the attention of others.

If it were in the past, Goto Ichiri would have fainted long ago under the gazes of so many people.

But now she held on, just like she had rehearsed before, from the moment she went on stage, her eyes never left Otonashi Souta.

The bustling environment around her seemed silent in her ears, and the only thing she could hear was her own heartbeat and the exciting music.

"Then please listen to "Gradually Attracted to You."

As Otonashi Sota's fingertips brushed across the guitar strings, the passionate guitar sound of the prelude instantly caught the ears of all the audience.

Before anyone could react, the voice of Otonashi Kanata, following the prelude, resounded throughout the stage.

My heart is gradually attracted by you! Your smile fascinates me. 】

【I want to escape from this darkness with no visible edge.】

Hold my hand! Hold my hand!

Otonashi Sota's love for music is actually not that deep, and he has basically never performed in front of people. At most, he just plays and sings at home to entertain himself.

But the moment he stood on the stage and felt the eyes of the audience from all directions focused on him, he suddenly understood.

This kind of music needs to be performed on a stage that is watched by everyone, to be really exciting!

The blood was boiling in his body, and Yinwuzota felt that he was in great shape!

The guitar in his hand seemed to become one with him, becoming particularly handy.

Every word sung from his throat seemed to carry all his emotions and strength, and the song seemed to shake the roof off!

At this moment, Otonashi Sota had only one thought in his mind.

It's so fun to play! It's so fun to sing!

[I remember when we were still children, God arranged for us to meet and be together. I recall the good times we had.]

[Will you dance with me? On this winding path dappled with light and shadow.]

"This kid...are you kidding me? His guitar and singing skills are both professional, right? Where did Hong Xia find him?"

Backstage at the studio, he was originally worried about whether his sister's first performance would be terrible, but at this moment, the expression on Ijichi Xingge's face was full of surprise and shock.

Where on earth did her sister dig out such a great man?

And this original song, of such high quality, was given to her sister?

Could it be that Hong Xia sold herself out?

Putting aside Ichichi Hoshika's complicated mood right now, the entire Starry Exhibition Hall has been ignited by Otonashi Sota's singing.

Rock music is always the music that can make the atmosphere on the scene the most lively, just like now, all the audiences are having fun with the music.

Cheers and waving glow sticks rang out one after another. Even Shoko Toyokawa, who was standing in front recording with her mobile phone, couldn't help but blush with excitement and waved along with the people around her.

Not only the audience in the audience, but also Ijichi Kouka, Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri were driven by the warm atmosphere, and each of them played with 150% of their passion and strength.

Of course, there are inevitable mistakes and lost beats due to excitement in this process.

But none of this matters anymore because everyone is already rocking out.

Because it's rock, everything is fine!

My heart is gradually drawn to you. This fragment of hope in the universe, everyone wants to get it!

[Even though I pretend not to mind at all, this is my love for you! ]

[I want to escape from this darkness with no visible edge! ]

Hold your hand!

When Otonashi Sota finished singing the last line of the song, the music gradually died down, but it was immediately followed by a wave of cheers and applause that seemed to be able to blow the roof off the house!!!

(PS: I kept seeing comments about Toyokawa Shoko in the comments, and I thought she was the protagonist. But when I searched the Wikipedia, I found out she was in the "Other Characters" section.)

Chapter 20: If Otonashi-san is not here, Wadashi...

"One more song! One more song!!!"

Immersed in the music, the audience gave their unreserved applause and cheers to the rising star band on the stage.

"Wow, it feels so good to sing."

Ignoring the audience's eager gazes, Onmu Sota breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled contentedly.

"Otonashi, you sing very well."

Yamada Ryoya on the side gave him a thumbs up. At this moment, her pretty face was flushed with a breathtaking look, and her hair was stuck to her forehead because of sweat, which made her look very beautiful.

Ijichi Hongxia's cheeks were flushed and she was panting because of her overperformance.

Only Goto Ichiri's breathing has not changed much. Her physical strength is the best, but she is now at another level and can't hold on any longer.

Originally, during the performance, Goto Ichiri kept looking at Otonashi Sota, immersed in his music, and his perception of the outside world was weakened to the extreme, so he did not slack off.

But now the performance was over. No matter how much Goto Ichiri tried to hypnotize herself, the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience were not fake. Unless she was blind and deaf, it was impossible for her not to see or hear them.

So when our Miss Goto Ichiri just returned from the music world, she saw dozens of eager eyes below.

Goto Ichiri: “….”

'Poof-! '

"Ah! Why did Pochi-chan faint?!!"

"Legendary rock star Ichiri Goto dies on stage - end of play."

"Ku La! Is this the time to joke? Liang, you should be worried!"

"It seems Ichiri has reached his limit. Well, he's made great progress."

Goto Ichiri's sudden fainting interrupted the audience's cheers. Afterwards, Ijichi Nijika and others could only apologize to the audience while letting Otonashi Sota carry Goto Ichiri off the stage.

Although the audience felt sorry, they could only watch the band leave the stage.

After all, the guitarist fainted on the stage, you can't let him continue singing, right?

That's too rock 'n' roll.
