This time, she didn't want to let everyone down no matter what!

----------

After the rehearsal, everyone looked very satisfied.

Especially Ijichi Hongka, she can personally feel that her band is getting better and better.

If they were able to perform successfully on stage at the beginning, it was because Music Without a Rhythm was leading them in fun.

But now that Otonashi Sota plays the electronic keyboard and Kita Ikuyo takes over the lead vocalist position, the band is now showing the strength and level they should have.

Although the rehearsal at the beginning was very poor due to Kita Ikuyo's unfamiliarity with the music score, there were problems with either the piano playing, the singing, or the overall rhythm.

But with everyone's efforts, various problems were fixed bit by bit. This visible progress made everyone excited and more motivated.

If it wasn't for the practice time in the lounge, everyone would have continued practicing despite being exhausted.

"Thank you all for your hard work today!"

With sweat all over her head, Ijichi Hongxia smiled as she made the final conclusion to today's band rehearsal.

There's no way around it. In band training, drummers always have the most activity.

So even though she had the best physical strength among the girls present, she also sweated the most.

"Thank you for your hard work, Hongxia. You've been playing the drums for almost two hours. Look how tired you are. You're sweating all over."

Otonashi Sota handed her a pack of wet wipes.

"Thank you, Brother Zou Tai. Everyone, please wipe off your sweat."

Ijichi Hongxia thanked him, took the wet wipes and distributed them to everyone in a captain-like manner.

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all. I can even play for another two hours!"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists and spoke with full energy.

Of course, it wasn't that she wasn't tired, it was just that the feeling of mastering the new song bit by bit was so great that she couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Captain, she wants to improve so much!

"If we keep up this pace, we should be able to play this song proficiently in another half week."

Yamada Ryoya said.

In fact, if a band wants to rehearse a new song, it can be done in a few hours.

However, Kita Ikuyo is a novice after all, so it will take a little longer.

But in Otonashi Sota's opinion, this speed was actually outrageous.

You have to know that half a month ago, Kita Ikuyo was still a runaway guitarist who mistook his bass for a guitar!

As a result, she is now almost able to perform on stage. If she were in Otonashi Sota's previous life, she would definitely be a super talented girl.

But if he puts it here, then he can only say, Xiduo, you still need to practice.

Because there is also a member of Dengbao's band who has equally great musical talent, Chihaya Aine.

This is much faster than when Pink Hair started learning guitar seriously. Her progress is much faster than when she started learning guitar seriously.

"Kita Ikuyo may be a genius girl, but it's a little unlikely that Kita Ikuyo is a genius girl."

"Brother Zou Tai, this time we can finally perform together on stage again!"

Ijichi Hongka said happily to Otonashi Sota.

Although Goto Ichiri didn't say anything, his eyes were full of excitement.

She felt her heartbeat quicken at the thought of standing on the stage with Otonashi Sota again.

After going through this period of time, her social anxiety has indeed improved a little. At least in front of familiar people like Hong Xia, she is no longer afraid.

But she was still a little unsure whether she could perform in front of people, but as long as Otonashi Sota was by her side, she felt that she would have the courage to face the difficulties.

Then, Ijichi Hongxia went to find Ijichi Hoshika and asked her to end the band so that she could perform on stage again.

However, what she didn't expect was that after hearing her request, Ichichi Xingge decisively rejected her.

"Eh? Sister, why?"

Ijichi Hongxia, who was originally happy, suddenly became stunned.

"Hey...."

Ijichi Xingge rubbed his brows, looked at Otono Sota with some resentment, and then explained,

"Let me be honest, Hongxia. Actually, you two were not qualified to perform on stage last time. I only gave you this qualification because I wanted to leave you with a good memory."

"I thought your performance would end in failure. After all, your band doesn't seem to be up to par in my opinion. But I didn't expect you to dig out this guy and force him to lead you through the performance."

"But now he's playing the keyboard. Without this guy's vocals and guitar, how far can your band go?"

"....how so...."

Hearing Ichichi Xingge's ruthless words, Ichichi Hongxia bit her lip, with a look of unwillingness on her face.

She knew that the band was terrible. Except for Sota, everyone's level was average, and there were even novices.

But everyone was practicing really hard and wanted to make this band a success. Now they finally had their own original song, and she was thinking of having a formal performance, maybe her dream would have a chance to come true. But she was dealt a heavy blow by Ijichi Hoshika.

"It's no big deal. The past is the past, and the present is the present. Sister Xingge, if you always compare the present to the past, why don't you compare it to when Hongxia was just born? Back then, she couldn't even lift a drumstick, right?"

Just when the atmosphere became a little awkward, Otonashi Sota spoke with a smile.

"You're talking nonsense to me again."

Ichichi Xingge crossed her arms and glanced at him unhappily.

"Brother Souta..."

Ijichi Nichina looked at Otonashi Sota. She didn't know what to say and her mind was a little confused.

"Don't worry, Hongxia. Your sister isn't really stopping you from performing on stage. Isn't she saying that the previous ending band wasn't qualified to perform on stage? But the ending band now is different."

Otonashi Sota comforted him,

"Once we've mastered our original song, we'll perform it for your sister and win her over with our skills. That way, she'll have no reason to reject us anymore, right?"

"...Sister, is this really possible?"

Hearing what Otonashi Sota said, Ijichi Hongxia immediately looked at Ijichi Seika expectantly.

(ps: ChuChu: What kind of rotten fish and shrimp music is that sung by mygo's wooden cabinet? It made the electronic music leader Zhu Shou Zhiyou laugh. Look at me exposing 'Burn out!!!' and blow up all of you country guys)

Chapter 87 It is well known that running away is the characteristic of the ending band

"...Humph, that's exactly what I meant."

Having his thoughts exposed, Yidizhi Xingge turned his head away and snorted.

"That's great! Thank you, sister!"

Seeing that Ichichi Xingge gave a positive answer, Ichichi Hongxia was overjoyed and walked forward and hugged Ichichi Xingge tightly.

"Hmph...don't be too happy too soon. My review is very strict. If your level is not good enough, I won't let you pass."

Ichichi Xingge said proudly.

"Don't worry, sister, we will never fail!"

Ijichi Hongxia is full of confidence.

"Just wait and see, the ending of the band will definitely surprise you!"

"Then I'll wait and see."

The two sisters put aside their boasts and smiled at each other.

In fact, at the beginning, Ijichi Hoshige was not very supportive of Ijichi Hongxia playing in a band. If the other party just wanted to have fun, it wouldn't matter.

But she knew her sister's character well. She had practiced drumming seriously for so long, and it was definitely not just for fun.

Ijichi Hoshige is a band member who once pursued her dream but later gave up, so no one knows better than her the hard work and difficulty of this path.

That's why she didn't want to see Hong Xia become like her before.

However, now she already has a group of like-minded partners. Whenever she talks about music and the band, there is always light in her eyes. With Hong Xia like this, Yidi Zhixingge can only follow her.

"Hey, Sister Xingge is really stubborn! Even if Thanos snaps his fingers, you'll still be the only one in the universe shouting 'I won't let you pass'."

Looking at the heartwarming scene of the elder sister being kind and filial, Otonashi Zouta couldn't help but laugh.

It can only be said that tsundere girls are not uncommon, but it is really rare for a girl like Ijichi Xingge to still like tsundere at her age.

I feel like this guy has been single until now, is it because of his tsundere problem?

What future version of Eriri?

I can only say that fortunately, although Ijichi Hongxia also has blonde hair, she did not inherit her sister's bad habit of being a tsundere.

I feel like a girl as gentle, generous, considerate, lively and lovely as Ijichi Hongka will be proposed to once she graduates.

Anyone who doesn't like Hong Xia must be a god.

"You little brat! What are you talking about? You're the one who's being stubborn!"

Ijichi Hoshika's face flushed instantly, and she glared at Otonashi Sota fiercely, but she seemed a little weak inside now that her true identity had been exposed.

"Hehe, no matter how strict the store manager's test is, we will pass it because we are the last band!"

Kita Ikuyo was also full of energy and cheered everyone on.

After some chatting and joking, everyone said goodbye and left the Starry Exhibition Hall.

However, just when Otonashi Sota was about to go back, he was stopped by Ijichi Kouka.

"Brother Zou Tai, can you wait a moment? I want to talk to you alone."

"Ah? What are you talking about?"

Otonashi Sota asked with some curiosity.

"You'll know soon, Brother Zou Tai."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled, turned around and said a few words to Ijichi Xingge, then took Otonashi Souta's arm and walked outside.

It was getting dark now, and the street lights on both sides of the road were lit up.

Ijichi Hongka went to the vending machine, bought two cans of drinks, and handed one to Otonashi Sota.

"Thank you."

Otonashi Sota thanked him and sat down on a bench by the roadside.

"Although you said, Brother Souta, we're all bandmates, and thanking you would seem a bit awkward... I still want to thank you."

Ijichi Kouka sat down next to Otonashi Souta, with the distance between them only less than ten centimeters.

Ijichi Nikka looked at Otonashi Sota's profile and said sincerely,

"Just now, when my sister said that we were not qualified to perform on stage, my mind was completely blank. I felt as if all my efforts had been in vain... If you hadn't exposed my sister's true intentions in time, I might have run away in sadness."

"Huh? Doesn't that mean I missed out on a 50-cent plot?"

Otonashi Souta was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

"Pfft—Souta-nii, you're such a fool. You still like to joke around at a time like this."

Ijichi Hongxia suddenly laughed, raised her little fist and hit Otonashi Souta's shoulder lightly as if playfully.

"It's a bit of a shame, after all, running away is an essential part of our band ending. We already had a guitarist running away, so it seems quite reasonable to have another drummer running away now."

Otonashi Sota said with a smile.

Just like RNG's tradition is to have an all-Chinese team, TES's tradition is to kill the big dragon, and EDG's tradition is to blitz Poland, our Ending Band also has its own tradition.

"That doesn't make sense! How can a band be labeled as running away? If Kita heard this, she would definitely apologize profusely again."

Ichichi Hongxia complained.

"Well, you have a point."

Otonashi Sota nodded thoughtfully.

"Then after the band ends and becomes popular, I can say to Kita: 'Kita, you don't want your fans to know that you ran away, do you?' How about that?"
