People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

That’s right, they will go on stage soon and show Ijichi Hoshige their hard work and sweat during this period.

Then Pochi-chan showed classic fear before the battle and put a layer of DEBUFF on herself.

To be honest, everyone is no longer surprised by this. After all, everyone knows what kind of person Pochi is, but they also believe that Pochi will overcome her social anxiety and timidity.

After all, if they can't even get past Ichichi Hoshige, how can they officially go on stage and perform after ending the band?

And most importantly, the rehearsal results these days have been very good. Everyone feels confident and knows that as long as they perform normally, they will definitely pass.

"If I can't pass the test, I don't have to pay back the money I owe Pochi-chan?"

Miss Liang held her chin with one hand, raised the corner of her mouth slightly, and looked at Goto Ichiri playfully.

"You have to pay it back! By the way, when did you borrow money from Pochi-chan again?"

Ijichi Hongxia complained speechlessly, then she looked at Goto Ichiri with a gentle face and said,

"It's okay, Pochi-chan, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just treat it as a normal rehearsal. Even if we really can't pass, we still have a chance."

"Hongxia..."

Goto Ichiri couldn't help but look at him with emotion.

"Hongxia, you can't be so gentle. Do you understand what it means when a loving mother spoils her child?"

Otonashi Sota said,

"I'm telling you, someone like Ichiri needs the right amount of pressure to push her forward. Being nervous is nothing big, everyone gets nervous. Take Kita, for example. She didn't even know how to play a guitar back then, but she still had the nerve to join the band, didn't she?"

"Um...senpai, I know you're trying to comfort Goto-san, but please don't use me as an example anymore..."

Kita Ikuyo clasped her hands together and begged for mercy with a tearful expression.

Just like the bass joke is a must-see part of the band, the runaway guitarist has become a part that is often brought up by others (referring to Otonashi Sota and Ryo) to add to the jokes after the band ended.

I can only say that it is really hard for anyone to surpass Kita's work.

"Don't worry, everyone. I definitely won't hold you back!"

Goto Ichiri patted his chest hard and made a promise.

Although he was still afraid and timid about going on stage, Goto Ichiri did not think that he would definitely get into trouble.

Since Souta was there, she just had to watch Souta play like she did last time.

"Sure, I believe you, Ichiri."

Otonashi Kanata patted Goto Ichiri's shoulder with a pleased expression like an old father.

"After you pass the assessment, I'll treat you to a meal as a reward."

"Souta, I want one too."

Miss Liang raised her hand.

"Okay, no problem. Let's have a meal together after the performance. I'll treat you all to a meal."

Otonashi Souta said generously.

It’s an invitation for one person or for both of them, he has money anyway.

"Isn't this bad? Let's just split the bill. We can't let Souda-san pay for everything every time."

Ijichi Hongxia waved her hands embarrassedly.

"It's okay, send them all, buddy. Don't be polite. You can just treat me next time."

The sound of no playing is too indifferent.

"Say, are we opening champagne at halftime?"

Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but complain,

"The exam hasn't even started yet, and they're already discussing treating us to a meal... Does this count as setting a goal?"

"What kind of halftime champagne popping is this? We haven't even started skin selection yet, have we?"

Otonashi Sota laughed.

"Hey, are you guys ready? Come over here if you are."

At this time, Yidizhi Xingge greeted everyone from outside the door, interrupting their conversation.

"OK, I'll be right there."

Otonashi Sota agreed and looked back at his friends. At this moment, the girls' faces were full of confidence and excitement for the upcoming performance.

Even the timid Pochi-chan had an expectant expression on her face.

Because she really wanted to make this performance a success.

"Captain, anything else?"

Before rushing to the battlefield, Otonashi Sota looked at Ijichi Nihonga. He knew that this performance was very important to Ijichi Nihonga because it was related to her U-mee.

"...Haha, no need for that. Let's talk about the rest at the celebration party."

Ijichi Hongxia was silent for a moment, then smiled and was the first to walk out of the lounge.

She believed in her band mates, they would definitely overcome this trial!

The result was not beyond everyone's expectations. The performance went exceptionally smoothly, and everyone performed better than usual in rehearsals, especially Goto Ichiri. His wonderful guitar performance in the middle even caught the attention of Ijichi Hoshika.

She originally thought that without Onmu Sota as the lead singer and guitarist, the level of her sister's band would decline a lot, but now it seems that she still underestimated them.

Chapter 99: Kita: Drag them all into the water!

"How was it, sister? Our performance?"

With sweat on her forehead, Ijichi Hongxia breathed lightly and looked at Ijichi Xingge in the audience with a little pride.

"...Hmph, just barely enough."

Ijichi Xingge crossed her arms and turned her head to the side, still with that familiar tsundere look.

All I can say is that every time she looks like this, Otonashi Kanata can't help but have hallucinations.

Blonde + Tsundere—You, you are! ! ! Chen Rui!

"Haha, Xingge, are you still going to be so arrogant at a time like this? Why don't you praise Hongxia and the others?"

Pa-san covered his mouth and chuckled.

"Who's arrogant?! You're the one who's arrogant! Your whole family is arrogant!"

Yidizhi Xingge's pretty face suddenly turned red, and she glared at Pa-san in shame and anger.

"Pa, I'm the store manager! Watch your attitude!"

"Yes yes yes~~"

Not to mention the loving drama of this pair of best friends, everyone on the stage heard Ichichi Xingge's reply, although it was a bit unclear, but everyone understood the meaning and immediately showed a bright smile.

"Great!!!"

Kita Ikuyo cheered and hugged the nearest Pochi-chan.

"Great, Goto-kun! We passed the test!"

Although she had expected this result, when it actually happened, Kita Ikuyo still couldn't hide her excitement and surprise.

After all, during this period, no one worked harder than her and looked forward to the band's success more than her.

It was precisely because she made mistakes that she gave her all for everyone and for the band. Fortunately, the result did not let her efforts go to waste.

To be honest, with Kita Ikuyo's current guitar level, it is hard to imagine that a month ago, she was still a genius who practiced bass as if it were guitar.

Fortunately, Yin Wuzoutai is very good at cheating, otherwise he would have been sweating profusely in front of such a talented monster.

"Yeah! That's great!"

Pochi-chan couldn't help but look at Otonashi Sota with joy.

To be honest, the experience of the past month was like filming an anime for her, everything seemed so unreal.

Join a band, make friends, work hard together, write new songs, and perform on stage... This was a scenario that could only happen in her fantasy before.

But all this happened just like that, and the reason for all this was because she mustered up the greatest courage in her life that afternoon, went to a place called Yorozuya, and met Otonashi Sota.

Then good things kept happening.

Goto Ichiri made up his mind that he would cling to Otonashi Sota for the rest of his life and would never be separated from him no matter what!

"Souta."

Miss Liang smiled and raised her hand to Asane no Sota.

Otonashi Sota smiled slightly and raised his hand to high-five her.

The two of them were already 100% sure of the result, so they were not as excited as Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri.

"Let's go, Captain. It's time for us to have a celebration party."

Seeing that Ijichi Hongxia was still sitting on the chair, Otonashi Kanata smiled and patted her shoulder.

"Yeah! We did it!"

Ijichi Hongka smiled as brightly as the sun.

She looked around, her eyes sweeping over everyone, and a strong emotion surged in her heart.

This is her partner!

It’s really great to meet you all!

Then everyone went straight to a nearby restaurant without saying a word.

"cheers!!!"

After ordering a table full of food that everyone liked, everyone, led by Ijichi Hongxia, raised their glasses and clinked them together in a passionate manner.

"I'm so happy! Now that we've passed Sister Xingge's test, we can finally go on stage and perform as a band."

Kita Ikuyo spoke with a smile on her face, and took out her mobile phone to take pictures of everyone, saying that she wanted to commemorate this important moment.

"Well, although we passed the test, this is only the first step in ending the band. We still need to continue to work hard and improve our level in order to bring better performances to future audiences and fans."

Ijichi Hongka nodded. As members of the Ending Band, Kita Ikuyo and the others only needed to be happy, but as the captain of the Ending Band, she had a lot to consider.

"Well, that's for the future. Let's just celebrate happily today, right, Souta?"

Yamada Ryo put his arm around Ijichi Kouka's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Yeah, everyone performed really well today, especially Ichiri. Your guitar playing in the middle was amazing. It was 70% of your usual guitar hero style."

Otonashi Sota stuffed a piece of chicken into his mouth and praised Goto Ichiri with a smile.

"Hey hey hey~~ I'm not that good... Hey! Wait! Otonashi-san?!"

Goto Ichiri, who was originally immersed in the ocean of self-indulgence because of Otonashi Souta's praise, suddenly realized that the other party seemed to have exposed his identity as a guitar hero, and his face changed drastically.

"what happened?"

"I, I...um, Guitar Hero...Hong Xia..."

Pochi-chan was so nervous that she almost bit her tongue and didn't know what to say.

Because in her opinion, she had always concealed her identity as the guitar hero from her companions, but Otonashi Sota suddenly exposed it at this moment. She was very afraid of seeing Hongxia and the others' disappointed expressions when they knew that she was the guitar hero.

"Hehe, don't be so nervous, Pochi-chan. We already knew you were a guitar hero."

Seeing Goto Ichiri looking restless, Ijichi Hongxia couldn't help but smile and hurriedly comforted him.

"That's right, Souta told us a long time ago."

Yamada Ryoya spoke up.

"And even if he didn't say it, we could have guessed that you were from Guitar Hero. Your playing style when you really put your skills into it is so similar to Guitar Hero's."

"Huh?! Did everyone already know this?!"

Pochi-chan suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at Otonashi Sota in disbelief.
