I said you are all war criminals

Xiangzi took a big gulp of coffee, as if to wash away the anger in his chest. "You know, Yili, during the last rehearsal, he actually installed the bass strings backwards! Upside down! This is the first time I've seen such a thing!"

Yili widened his eyes, trying to imagine the scene of Bai Ye installing the bass strings upside down, feeling incredible.

"This...this is too..."

She tried to find a suitable word to describe it, but found that her vocabulary was pitifully poor. In the end, she could only utter, "That's amazing..."

"Awesome ass!"

Xiangzi cursed without hesitation, "That guy has no idea what a bass guitar is for! He plays it like a guitar. The rhythm is as chaotic as a car accident, the pitch is so off that it could circle the earth three times, and the bass is completely non-existent. The whole song sounds like it's missing a soul!"

[Xiangzi became more and more excited as she spoke, her blue hair flying with her movements, as if it would burst into flames at any moment.

"And that expression on his face! You know, when he made a mistake, he actually looked at me innocently, as if asking me, 'What's wrong? Did I play badly?' I really..."

Xiangzi took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. "I really want to stuff his innocent face into his bass speaker!"

Hakuno began to sweat profusely.

Xiangzi's personality is relatively mild, but when he discusses Hakuno's skills, Xiangzi almost looks like he's planning to pull out a knife and kill Hakuno.

This... this is too annoying.

Is it necessary!

Hakuno decided to learn the bass in detail after completing the simulation.

Yili listened to Xiangzi's complaints, nodding in agreement from time to time.

Xiangzi complained for nearly half an hour, criticizing Bai Ye from head to toe, almost devaluing him to the point of being worthless. Finally, she seemed to have finally vented her anger, breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the cold coffee, and took a sip.

[“Phew… it feels much better now that I’ve said it.”

Xiangzi put down his coffee cup and suddenly changed the subject, staring at Yili with a burning gaze. "By the way, Yili, you know Bai Ye, right? What do you think of him?"

Ichiri was startled by the sudden question and nearly dropped her coffee cup. She looked up frantically, her eyes flickering as she stammered, "Ah... that... Hakuno... he's... he's a nice guy..."

"He's a nice guy?"

Xiangzi raised his eyebrows, his tone inquiring, "What's good about it specifically?"

[“Just…just…”

Ichiri felt his mind go blank.】

Here comes the stage of Hakuno's operation again.

Of course, the tactic of "retreat to advance" can be used here to make Xiangzi think that Ichiri and Hakuno have a good relationship, which will facilitate the next step... However, Hakuno still chooses to play it safe first.

Since we want to improve Xiangzi's favorability, let's not mention Hakuno.

"Hakuno is very kind to Ryo and Touma..."

Yili said tremblingly.

[“Yeah, I’m good to my sister and girlfriend…”

Xiangzi sneered a few times.

Change the subject!

Hakuno patted the simulator, instructing Ichiri in the simulator to take action immediately.

"Stop talking about me. There are other people to talk to, right? Let's talk about something else, Ichiri!"

Yili felt a cold sweat on her back. Xiangzi's piercing gaze was like two sharp knives, as if it wanted to dig out all the little secrets in her heart. She frantically turned her almost-frozen brain, trying to find a topic to escape this suffocating judgment. At this moment, she caught a glimpse of the idol's push notification flashing on her phone screen, and as if grasping a life-saving straw, she jerked her head up.

"Ah! By the way, Xiangzi, have you seen Sumimi's concert? Their latest songs are amazing!"

Ichiri spoke quickly, fearing that Xiangzi would ask about Bai Ye again.

The sharpness in Xiangzi's eyes faded slightly, as if he was slightly interested in the topic. "Sumimi? Is that the idol group that's been so popular lately?"

"Yes, yes! It's them!"

Yili felt like he had found a kindred spirit, waving his hands excitedly. "Their stage presence was amazing! Especially Sanjiao Chuhua, she's my goddess! She dances like an elf, her moves are so cool and beautiful, and her singing is so infectious! Ahhh, I couldn't even get tickets for their concert last time, it pissed me off!"

Yili gushed endlessly about Sumimi's strengths, from their musical styles to their music video production, from the members' personalities to the fan culture, eager to spill everything she knew. As she spoke, she secretly observed Xiangzi's expression, noticing that his once tense mouth gradually relaxed, and his eyes softened.

Xiangzi took a sip of his cold coffee and softened his tone, "Sanjiao Chuhua... I've seen her perform, and she really has potential. Her dancing is powerful, and her facial expressions are well-managed. She's very charming on stage."

Yili heaved a sigh of relief; it looked like he'd gotten away with it.

Actually, I only remember that Sumimi was an idol band, and the names of two of its members. I just said all that nonsense because I thought Xiangzi wouldn't have any impression of such an idol group.

"It just so happens that I have two extra tickets to Sumimi's concert. Here they are."

【Xiangzi handed over two tickets.】

Then, she continued, "Also, the other member's name is Mana, not Maki. You're mistaken."

Ah, it's over.

【Thinking about it.】

"No, no, no, it's okay!"

Bai Ye picked up the water cup and took a gulp before the water spilled out. "Just watch me operate it!"

Chapter 118: Start expanding your social circle.

"Xiangzi! Since you have two tickets, then... then let's go together!"

Yili suggested cautiously, his eyes gleaming with anticipation, like a puppy wagging its tail begging for food.

Xiangzi stretched out his finger in annoyance and tapped her forehead lightly.

"What are you thinking? I already told you this is extra. Of course I still have tickets... I want to go watch it with my online friends."

"Netizen?"

Yili covered his forehead and pouted in grievance.

"Yukinoshita Yukino... Have you ever heard of this name?"

Ichiri shook his head in confusion.

"Netizen? Yukinoshita Yukino? This name... why does it sound like the protagonist of a light novel?"

Yili grumbled, which made her feel like she was being left out.

"Ah, we met on a forum. We both like... uh, literature."

Xiangzi explained somewhat unnaturally, his eyes wandering for a moment.

"Literature...Xiangzi, do you like literature?"

Yili asked curiously.

Xiangzi ignored Yili's puzzled look and just pushed two more concert tickets in front of Yili.

"It's up to you. You can take whoever you want. But the tickets are expensive, so don't waste them."

"Oh……"

Yili responded muffledly, reaching out to pick up the tickets as if they were holding two hot potatoes.

Who should I treat with these two tickets?

The first person who popped into his mind was Hongxia. He imagined handing her the ticket. She'd jump in delight, twirl her around in his arms, and finally kiss her excitedly... Wait, stop! He jerked his head, banishing the dangerous thought. After all, there was no way Hongxia would do that. This wasn't so much a fantasy as it was Yili's own expectation of how things would play out.

Then she thought of Ryo. Ryo wasn't particularly interested in idol groups; he might not even have heard of Sumimi. Asking Ryo to accompany her to a concert was like inviting a cow to a ballet performance. Ryo would probably munch on some chips while looking at the idols performing with a look of idiocy, adding, "That's so noisy." Just thinking about it made her feel so embarrassed she could dig a castle out of her toes.

Finally, Ichiri thought of Kita.

Kita... Kita should be very happy, right? Ichiri imagined Kita's sparkling eyes and her cute look of being so excited that she couldn't speak, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

But then, Ichiri thought, Kita actually likes fighting competitions more. Would going to a competition with Kita make Kita happier than going to an idol performance?

Sumimi's concert tickets were like two pieces of red-hot iron, burning in her hands and making her fidget uncomfortably. She turned the tickets over and over, and the two girls in their sparkling costumes on the tickets smiled at her non-stop.

Hongxia? Liang? Xiduo? The three names bounced around in her head, rolling around like balls in a pinball machine, but she couldn't find a way out.

She scratched her hair irritably, ruffling her soft pink hair into a tangled mess.

“Aaaaahhh! This is so annoying!”

Yili complained softly, feeling like he was trapped in an invisible net and couldn't escape no matter how hard he struggled.

She walked to the window and looked at the bustling streets outside. Pedestrians hurried past. Everyone seemed to have a clear goal and direction, but she was the only one who was as confused as a headless fly.

“If only someone could help me make the decision…”

Yili sighed, leaned weakly on the windowsill, and looked into the distance with empty eyes.

【Yili lies on the table.】

Hakuno knew it was time to make his own decision.

This seems to be a multiple-choice question, and the only choices are Hongxia, Liang or Kita... But Hakuno has been playing the simulator for such a long time that he already knows the nature of this simulator.

This is actually a fill-in-the-blank question, and the room for free imagination is... scary.

"Let me sort out the characters that appeared before."

Hakuno calculated.

Besides the iron triangle that ended the band, there is the Wild Fire team, and...

"...Hong Xia's happy homegirl friends?"

These three groups should be the ones that this invitation can involve.

Of course, if you insist, there's also Crychic, no, the three former Crychic people. If they were to go through Hakuno, they should still be able to get in touch—but whether it's Mu, Riki, or Sushi, there's probably no reason for them to accept Ichiri's invitation.

As for Deng, you can probably get an invitation by just saying that Ichiri is Hakuno's cover.

...Forget it, inviting them doesn't make sense. I should think about who should be invited. Ichiri had already thought of the Iron Trio, so Hakuno considered WildFire and Hongxia's homebody friends.

In !Ld Fire, Hakuno first eliminates Sakurai Kuro.

——It wasn't in Hakuno's opinion to be with a guy who had a girlfriend.

But there is no problem with Iwanaga Kotoko.

There is no danger at all for girls to go to a female idol's concert together.

But... Hakuno is actually not very familiar with Iwanaga Kotoko.

Ah, Hakuno knew she was the heroine of "Fictional Mystery." But "Fictional Mystery"? This anime is just a bunch of sloppy anime. If you randomly check newbies on Bilibili, 80% of them haven't seen it, and only about one in ten can actually tell you the specific plot, right?

Compared to Kotoko Iwanaga who appeared in "Fictional Mystery", Nana Ohba is much better.

Although Hakuno hadn't watched much of "Girls' Opera", he also watched the plot of "Girls' Opera" in the QQ group - to put it simply, it's about lesbians, probably lesbians!

Hakuno finally decided to invite Nana Ohba to watch Sumimi's concert. The problem now was how to get Ichiri to invite Nana Ohba... Ichiri and Nana Ohba weren't familiar with each other in the simulator yet, so he had to find a reason to invite her, right?

Nana Ohba, it's her! Hakuno mentally decided on his concert companion. However, a new problem immediately emerged: how could Iri in the simulator invite Nana Ohba? He rubbed his temples in distress. The simulator version of Iri and Nana Ohba had almost no connection, which made him feel a bit daunted. A direct invitation would be too abrupt. He had to find a suitable reason, one that would naturally make Iri think of Nana Ohba and naturally extend the invitation... What should he do?

Bai Ye fell into deep thought, his brain working rapidly, trying to find a perfect opportunity.

He thought for ten minutes.

Then gave up.

"Ah... never mind, I'm so annoyed!"

Bai Ye scratched his head and gave up racking his brains. He decided to leave this problem to fate, or rather, to the simulator.

【Ichiri chose to invite Nana Ohba. 】

Chapter 119: A day in the life of Nana Ohba.

Nana Ohba wakes up very early in the day.

At six o'clock, Nana Ohba jumped out of bed.

The morning air was a bit chilly, but to Nana, it felt more like a stimulant. She took a deep breath and ran out of the Starlight Hall. Nana didn't appear in Seihō's classroom until the seven o'clock bell rang.

Stage skills, performance methods, dance steps... Nana's classes at Shengxiang weren't difficult, but she still took every lesson seriously. While listening to the teacher explain the importance of stage lighting, she scribbled in her notebook, sketching out the stage scenes that emerged in her mind.
