After laughing for a while, Ijichi Hongxia seemed to remember something and took out a black strap from her bag and handed it to Otonashi Sota.

"By the way, Sota-kun, these are the band merchandise I made. I thought if everyone wore them, it would look like a band. What do you think?"

"Band merchandise?"

Under the expectant gaze of Ijichi Nikka, Otonashi Sota took the strap, and only then did he realize that Ijichi Nikka was also wearing a similar strap on her left hand.

"Since we're ending the band, are we using bandages as a connection between the bands? That's a pretty good idea, Hongxia."

Otonashi Sota praised Ijichi Kouka's idea while tying the straps on his hands.

"As expected of Brother Zou Tai, you guessed what I was thinking right away."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled and clapped her hands.

"You two seem to be having a great time chatting. How about I leave for a while and give you some space to be alone?"

At this time, Yamada Ryoya came over from the other side and said jokingly to the two of them.

"Hey! Ryo, what are you talking about?"

Ijichi Hongxia was suddenly embarrassed and raised her fist to hit Yamada Ryo on the head.

"Just kidding~~"

Miss Liang slid behind Otonashi Sota like a loach with a light step, raised the corners of her mouth and looked at Ichichi Hongxia with a smile.

She liked to see Hong Xia at a loss.

"How dare you tease a bro? My dear Miss Liang, have you forgotten who is the big daddy today?"

Otonashi Sota rubbed his fingers towards Yamada Ryo, the meaning was self-evident.

"Sorry, I was too arrogant just now!"

Only then did Yamada Ryo remember that Otonashi Sota was his financial sponsor today, and he decisively bowed his head to the big hand of money.

Seeing that Yamada Ryoumitsu was so submissive to Otonashi, Hongxia's mother, who had no idea that they had an evil deal, couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion.

As time gradually approached ten o'clock, the other two members of the band arrived one after another, and now everyone was finally together.

(PS: Can this Takamatsu Touma sing? I didn't even go to my part-time customer service job after school to watch this live show. Can we have some explosive songs?)

Chapter 78 ends with the band being Sota’s harem?

"Yili, I'm curious, do you really have no clothes at home other than sportswear?"

Looking at the girls who were all wearing cute casual clothes that were different from usual, and then looking at Goto Ichiri who was still wearing the classic pink sportswear, Otonashi Kanata couldn't help but complain.

He really doubted whether this girl's wardrobe was filled with the same styles as SpongeBob's.

"Well... not really. Actually, my mom has bought me normal clothes, but I just don't dare to wear them."

Goto Ichiri defended himself weakly.

"Why wouldn't you dare wear normal clothes? It's been over half a month since you made friends, so why hasn't your social anxiety improved?"

Otonashi Sota sighed and looked at Pochi-chan with the look of an old father who was disappointed in his child.

I didn't expect that Pochi's social anxiety symptoms have not shown any signs of improvement until now. Even though there are gentle and sunny characters like Hongxia and Kita in the band, can't they cure Pochi?

So if we throw Pochi-chan into Dengbao's band and let Shiina Riki put some pressure on her, will things get better?

If the soft one doesn't work, then use the hard one.

But I feel like Pochi-chan might be pressured by Shiina Riki to become a purple sand.

"Red bean paste, you Masan! I'm a loser! Trash like me really should be thrown in the trash!"

Goto Ichiri slid down on his knees on the spot, admitting his mistake actively, for fear that Onashi Sou would be too disappointed in him.

"Brother Zouta, Pochi-chan has really improved a lot since the beginning."

Hongxia's mother also came out to smooth things over.

"For example, when Pochi-chan first started working at Fanxing, she didn't even dare to face the customers, but now she can..."

“Can you communicate normally with guests?”

Otonashi Sota raised an eyebrow.

"I can pour drinks for guests with my eyes closed."

Yamada Ryo added.

Otonashi Souta: "..."

What kind of progress is this?

The only improvement is the skill of pouring drinks, right?

"Wuwuwu! I'm so sorry! I'll commit seppuku right now!"

Pochi-chan took out a paper knife from somewhere, put on an expression of tragic grandeur like the whistling wind and the cold Yishui River, and was about to stab herself in the stomach.

"...Forget it. Since this is the band's first time out for team building, I'll let you go."

Otonashi Kanata knocked Goto Ichiri's head in annoyance.

"If we have a chance to hang out next time, I have to see you wearing different clothes. Do you hear me?"

"Hi!"

Pochi-chan nodded her head quickly. Although she had promised Otonashi-san that she would change into new clothes next time she went out, next time would be next time. At least she had escaped a disaster for now.

"If you don't know what to wear, Goto-san, I can take you shopping for new clothes. I promise to dress you up beautifully."

Kita Ikuyo enthusiastically took Pochi-chan's hand and said.

"No, that's not necessary... Please spare me this."

Pochi-chan refused with sweat on her forehead.

Asking her to go shopping for clothes with a super yang-style character like Kita Ikuyo...what's the difference between that and killing her?

"Hongxia, what should we do next?"

After complaining about Pochi-chan, Otonashi Kanata turned his head and looked at Ijichi Nikka.

Although he came to participate in the band's team building, he didn't know what to do.

"I want to take promotional photos for the band today. What do you think, Sota-hyung?"

Ijichi Hongxia clasped her hands together and asked with anticipation.

Although she is the captain of the band, Otonashi Sota is the oldest and has the highest musical level. Therefore, when making some decisions, she will first ask Otonashi Sota's opinion.

"Promotional photos? Sure, where are you planning on taking them?"

Otonashi Sota nodded.

"Let's find a suitable place here and take some photos. We can put them on the photo wall later."

Ichichi Hongxia is full of energy.

"Actually, Hongxia and I took this photo before our last performance."

As he spoke, Yamada Ryo took out the promotional photos he had taken last time from his mobile phone, and everyone gathered around to look at them curiously.

The photo shows Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Kouka standing together, smiling at the camera.

What attracts more attention is that in the upper left corner of the photo, there is a close-up photo of Kita Ikuyo.

"Because Kita didn't come last time, it was just me and Ryo when we took the final photo."

Ichichi Hongxia explained.

"sorry!"

Kita Ikuyo clasped her hands together and apologized sincerely again.

"It's okay, we can just reshoot together this time."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled indifferently.

“Take a picture…”

Pochi-chan on the side seemed to recall some bad memories, and her little face became bitter and astringent.

"Yili, you've never taken a photo with your friends before, right?"

As soon as Otonashi Sota saw her expression, he immediately understood what she was thinking.

"Well... I can still take graduation photos with my classmates..."

Goto Ichiri said in a low voice.

"Doesn't it make me even more pathetic when you say that?"

Ijichi Hongxia looked at Goto Ichiri with some distress, then took her hand and comforted her.

"It's okay, Pochi-chan. Today, let's be Pochi-chan's first photoshoot friend and create some beautiful memories for the future!"

"Hongxia!"

Pochi-chan suddenly looked like she was about to cry because of being moved.

I can only say that Pochi-chan must have done good deeds in her previous life to meet Hongxia's mother.

If she had met Xiangzi, and if he had kicked her out of the group like Dengbao, she would probably never be able to recover from social anxiety in her life.

While chatting and laughing, everyone looked for suitable places to take photos nearby.

Hongxia wants to find a place that has more of a band vibe, while Yamada Ryo wants to show off his own personality.

After some exploration, Pochi finally found a graffitied wall that perfectly met the needs of Hongxia and Yamada Ryo.

However, although the background was found, the pose and position for taking the photo became the next topic of discussion.

"Isn't it better for Brother Souta to stand in the middle?"

Ichichi Hongxia gave her own opinion.

"After all, Sota-ge is the only boy here, and he's also the tallest. It would be most harmonious if he stood in the middle."

"No, do you know what other people's reaction would be if I stood in the middle and took a photo?"

Otonashi Sota shook his head.

"What's the reaction?"

Kita Ikuyo asked curiously.

"People will definitely think this band is my harem."

Otonashi Sota said without hesitation.

"H-Harem?!"

As soon as Otonashi Sota said this, Ijichi Hongxia and others blushed immediately and spoke a little rudely for a while.

"Hmm... Indeed, from an outsider's perspective, having a boy in a band of four beautiful girls is a bit unusual in itself. And since he's standing in the middle, it makes it even easier to give people the impression that the entire band is his harem."

Yamada Ryo stroked his chin, analyzing Otonashi Souta's remarks and nodding in agreement.

"How is that possible! How could anyone possibly think of something like that?"

Ijichi Hongxia retorted shyly and anxiously.

"Why not?"

Otonashi Sota said with a smile,

"It's well known that people in bands have three bad habits: smoking, drinking, and women. Even though we're innocent brothers and sisters, others don't see it that way. They just sigh that this band is so rock 'n' roll!"

"...That's just a stereotype."

Yidizhi Hongxia said with some lack of confidence.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she also knew that what Onmu Sota said was right. Some people who play in bands do have messy love lives, and the audience is not surprised by this.

On the other hand, Pochi-chan was caught up in a beautiful fantasy, because if the audience really thought that they were all Otonashi Sota's harem, wouldn't it mean that she and Otonashi-san were also a good match?

Just thinking about this, Pochi-chan felt like she was about to fly with happiness.
