People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

Otonashi Sota said casually.

"Just put it in the warehouse at the back. Please, Brother Zoutai."

Ijichi Hongxia gestured in the direction of the warehouse and said gratefully.

"Hey, send it all, buddy. Don't thank me for such a small thing."

Otonashi Sota said nonchalantly, then told Toyokawa Shoko and the others not to worry about him, and followed Ijichi Hongxia towards the warehouse with the box in his arms.

The two chatted as they walked, and after hearing Otonashi Sota say that he had joined a new band today, Ijichi Hongka's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.

Although she had heard from Kita that Otonashi Kanata might join another band, when the news was confirmed, Ijichi Kouka still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, Otonashi Sota was a member of their former band, but now he has joined someone else's band. For Ijichi Hongka, this feeling is like her treasure was forcibly split into two halves by an outsider.

Even Hongxia's mother, who is considerate and gentle, would feel a little uncomfortable and depressed.

But she would not say it out loud, she would just hide this sad emotion deep in her heart so as not to affect others.

Oh, Hongxia is great, no need to say more.

False white moonlight——Shoko Toyokawa.

The real white moonlight——Ichi Hongxia.

"What's wrong, Hongxia? Are you angry because I joined another band? Don't worry, I'm still a member of the band."

Seeing that Ijichi Hongxia suddenly stopped talking, Otonashi Sota immediately understood that this girl was probably unhappy because she joined someone else's band, so he explained.

"I'm not angry, Sota-kun."

Ijichi Hongxia quickly shook her head to show that she was not angry.

"So you're sad?"

"Well...."

"Hongxia, has anyone ever told you that you are not good at lying?"

He opened the door of the warehouse, put the box in his hand on the ground, turned around and looked at Ichichi Hongka, whose little face was still covered with some sweat.

Although she tried hard to put on a smile, Otonashi Sota could still tell that she was in a bad mood.

There's nothing I can do, my buddy's eyesight has always been so sharp.

Otonashi Sota took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to Ichichi Kouka.

"Wipe your sweat, Hongxia. I'm a person who always tells my friends what I want to say. As long as it's not about private matters, I usually won't lie to my friends or hide anything from them, so I also hope that you can be more honest with me, okay?"

“…”

Taking the tissue handed over by Otonashi Sota, Ijichi Hongxia carefully wiped the sweat off her face, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.

"Souta-san...is it because my playing is so bad that you joined another band?"

Although Ijichi Hongka usually looks sunny and cheerful, as if she has endless energy, she actually also feels pressure.

And because I care about too many things and have high demands on myself, sometimes I tend to get stuck in a rut.

Chapter 68 Hongxia, You Smell So Good

Just like now, after hearing that Otonashi Sota joined another band, her first reaction was that her playing level was too poor and she could not keep up with Otonashi Sota, so he joined another band.

Lantern treasure? When did it come?

Hearing the familiar lines of Ijichi Hongka, Otonashi Kanata almost thought that the other party was possessed by the lamp treasure.

No, buddies, you guys who are in bands... all like to take the blame on yourselves, right?

Their brain circuits are a little crazy. When something happens, they don't ask the thoughts and opinions of the parties involved. They just make up a reason on their own and then put the blame on themselves.

Otonashi Sota suddenly discovered something more troublesome and terrifying than falling in love.

That is to find a girl who plays music to date.

I'm doubly tortured.

It seems that there are few normal people in the band. Among those who ended the band, Kita is the most normal one. I originally thought Hongxia was normal too, but now it seems that she is not quite normal either.

As for the suffering on the other side, it goes without saying that all the suffering they endured together cannot make a normal person.

In Dengbao's new band, only Chihaya Aine seems to be normal. She is an ordinary high school girl, but a little bit weird.

Alas, it feels not as good as...Qingyin.

"If that's why you're sad, I can tell you straight away, it's not."

Otonashi Souta said bluntly,

"I joined Dengbao's band simply because she's a child who needs care. How should I put it? She's just like Yili is to you. I feel like I can't just leave her alone."

"Eh?"

Hearing what Otonashi Sota said, Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but show a surprised expression, and even the ahoge on her head jumped.

"Or, in your eyes, I'm just a champion fan, and I'll lean towards whichever side is stronger, like a fence-sitter?"

"Of course not! Brother Souta is definitely not that kind of person!"

Ichichi Hongxia quickly shook her head.

"That's it, stop putting pressure on yourself, okay?"

Otonashi Sota spread his hands and said.

"Well, sorry, Brother Zou Tai, I was just overthinking it."

Ijichi Hongxia scratched her cheek in shame, feeling a little embarrassed to apologize to Otonashi Sota. At the same time, the big stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

As long as Onuma Sota doesn't mind their poor quality, that's fine.

"Hehe, is just an apology enough? Hongxia, your behavior of not trusting your teammates is a big taboo in the team. And you are the captain of the ending band. Do you know how much it hurts me?"

Otonashi Sota took advantage of the situation and began to torture Ichichi Hongka.

"Hmm... Well, what should I do? How about I buy Souta-san a drink as an apology?"

Thinking that Otonashi Sota was really angry, Ichichi Hongka suddenly became anxious and tried to find a way to make amends.

"Hongxia, do you punish Liang when she makes a mistake?"

Otonashi Sota chuckled.

"Punishment....Are you going to punish me, Sota-nii?"

"Hmm~~"

Seeing Otonashi Kanata's noncommittal expression, Ijichi Hongka suddenly became a little nervous for some reason.

She subconsciously looked around. They were in the warehouse, so naturally there were no one around. This meant that she and He Yin Wu Zou Tai were alone, and were about to be punished by the other party...

Although she knew that Otonashi Kanata was not that kind of person, she still shamelessly couldn't help but think of something wrong. After all, she was also a normal high school girl, and she would have fantasies during adolescence.

Then Otonashi Sota saw that Ijichi Kouka's little face slowly turned red.

No, sister, are you refreshed?

"How about this, as punishment, let me touch your ahoge?"

Otonashi Sota stared at the magical ahoge on Ijichi Hongka's head. To be honest, he had been curious for a long time. How could this thing move according to its owner's mood?

This isn't the second dimension.

"A-Adoroki?"

The fantasy in Ijichi Hongxia's mind was instantly shattered, and then she blinked, her face blank.

Is touching the aho-man's hair considered a punishment?

"May I?"

Otonashi Sota asked.

"Um....it's ok..."

Ijichi Hongxia said somewhat embarrassedly.

Fortunately, Brother Zou Tai didn’t know what she was thinking just now, otherwise she would really have to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

It is obvious that Zou Tai's thoughts are so healthy and normal, but she thought of some messed up things... Is she actually a shy girl?

Ijichi Hongxia didn't want to admit this no matter what.

After getting Ijichi Hongka's approval, Otonashi Sota reached out his hand without hesitation, grabbed the ahoge on her head, and began to study it carefully.

After academic observation, Otonashi Sota concluded that this seemed to be just ordinary hair.

But what would happen if he pulled out this ahoge? Would Shimokitazawa Archangel turn evil and become Shimokitazawa Great Devil?

Otonashi Sou was imagining it with great interest, but of course, it would be too naive to actually do it.

Feeling the ahoge on top of her head being pinched by someone's hands, Ijichi Hongxia felt a little weird.

A little shy, and a little curious.

Is my hair so interesting to Sota-ge?

"Brother Souta....have you touched enough?"

Originally, she thought that having her hair touched was no big deal, but as Otonashi Sota's hand kept moving on her head, Ijichi Hongka felt that the sense of shame in her heart was gradually increasing.

What a weird shameful play!

The only thing that made her feel fortunate was that this was a warehouse and there were only herself and Otonashi Sota.

If someone saw her, she would be so embarrassed.

"Well, it's almost there."

Otonashi Sota withdrew his hand with satisfaction, feeling a sense of accomplishment in completing an academic research.

"call...."

Ijichi Hongxia finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly rubbed her slightly hot cheeks.

"By the way, Hongxia, what brand of shampoo do you use? It smells pretty good."

Otonashi Sota said casually.

Judging from his recent experiences with girls, it seems that every girl has her own unique fragrance, and the most intense one belongs to Nagasaki Suyo.

Soyo has a strong flavor and does not require much salt.

"It's just ordinary shampoo."

When she heard Otonashi Sota say that her hair smelled good, Ijichi Hongka's cheeks suddenly turned even redder. In this solitary environment, she felt that her heartbeat seemed to have quickened a lot.

“…”

Only then did Otonashi Sota notice that Ijichi Kouka's face was obviously blushing with shyness. He was stunned for a moment, then after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly broke out in a sweat.

No, buddy, did you just tease Hong Xia unintentionally?

Hiss—it shouldn't be a big deal...right? But Hongxia's blushing face is still pretty cute.

"Ahem, let's go back quickly."

Otono Sota coughed twice, quickly ended the topic, and walked out of the warehouse first.

"Um...."

Ijichi Hongxia nodded, and after following Otonashi Sota out of the warehouse, her pounding heart slowly returned to normal.

"Hongxia, why did it take you so long to put something away?"

Seeing that Otonashi Sota and Ichichi Nikka finally came back, Yamada Ryo couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No, nothing. I just chatted with Sota-san about the band for a while and lost track of time."

Ijichi Hongxia hurriedly explained.

After all, she didn't want others to know that her hair was touched by Otonashi Kanata for a long time. It sounded too ambiguous.

"Souta."
