There are always girls in bands who want to date me

Sakuragawa Aki casually rummaged through his pockets, took out a 50 yen coin and handed it over.

"Let's make do with this."

"...I accept it."

Yamada Ryo hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the coin obediently.

No, you can really be sent away with 50 yen, you blue-haired woman.

Are you also some poor Noragami?

"Hey, hey~ shouldn't everyone be happier? Our debut performance was a huge success, really..."

Ijichi Hongxia sighed, then asked curiously.

"Eh? Speaking of which, where's Pochi-chan?"

Well, it seems that Pochi-chan can't escape this nickname after all.

"Goto-san seems to have burned out. He's lying at the doorway, right there."

Sakuragawa Aki pointed to the tattered cardboard box of ripe mangoes at the door.

"Eh!? Pochi-chan, don't die yet~"

Chapter 165: Girls' Celebration Banquet

"Hey, Pochi-chan, are you okay?"

"Ah... well, just thinking about the tragic experience I had on stage before, it makes me feel..."

Goto Ichiri stood there staggering, with a look of dismay on his face.

Cardboard boxes that can automatically play musical instruments are a bit too tragic no matter how you look at it. It is impossible to explain it away with rock music or something like that!

Just then, the door to the lounge opened again.

Aine-chan ran in happily, her little face full of emotion and joy, her long pink hair swaying gently behind her as she moved.

"Qiuqiu! The performance was a great success~ Woohoo, I was so moved watching it from down below."

Behind her, Gao Songdeng and Xiao Mutou also walked in.

"Hey~ In this case, should we have a celebration party? The audience just now seemed super happy."

Chihaya Aine came to Sakuragawa Aki, held his hand with some excitement, shook it gently, turned around and said to the girls beside her with a smile.

"Also, Nijika-chan's drums and Ryou-chan's bass are also very good. And Kita-chan, her singing is superb~"

"Ah, and that cardboard box, that's Goto-san, right? What a novel design! Everyone in the audience was surprised."

"Goo-"

Pochi-chan, who was hit by the cardboard box again, trembled all over and fell down with her hands covering her abdomen.

Goto Ichiri could not get up again.

"Po, Pochi-chan, wake up quickly, don't die!" Hongxia's mother shouted while shaking her body.

Well, anyway, after a period of chaos, everyone finally calmed down.

"...Yeah, so after all, we have to have a celebration party. There's also a welcome party for Pochi-chan and Kita-chan, so we can all be there together."

Ijichi Hongxia turned to look at Sakuragawa Aki and asked.

"Hey~ Qiu, how about we all go out for a big meal together?"

"Yeah, I agree. After all, we agreed beforehand that we would treat Aine and Touma to a nice meal as a thank you for coming to our live show."

Sakuragawa Aki nodded and asked the little Mutou who was standing quietly beside him.

"How about it, is Mu-san interested in coming together?"

For some reason, this little doggie seemed to be inexplicably attached to him and would come to him whenever it had time.

"Mu-chan, please agree to it. Eating together or something like that sounds great~"

A cute girl doll with long light green hair, sitting on the shoulder of a girl wearing a black and white maid outfit, spoke with full energy.

"I'm so happy to be invited. Now, remember... you must grab a seat next to him when the time comes."

"..."

Ruo Ye Mu looked at him quietly, a soft light seemed to appear in his light golden eyes, and he nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Sakuragawa Akiya smiled slightly.

If this little mummer could get closer to the girls at the dinner table, he would think it was a good thing, so he took the initiative to invite him to the party.

He didn't want the girl to be like a puppet, relying on someone wholeheartedly, no matter if that person was Toyokawa Shoko or himself.

Sakuragawa Aki hopes that this little mutou can make more friends and feel the warmth of communication and companionship. In his opinion, that is the right path, not the kind of pathological dependent relationship.

"...Thank you very much. I bought a collector's edition high-end bass guitar a few days ago, and I've been living on grass for three consecutive days."

Yamada Ryo had come up to him at some point, patted his shoulder, and said with his hands clasped together, "Thank you for your help, Master Sakuragawa."

"That's all Liang's own fault. You should pay for your own meal!" Sakuragawa Aki looked at the blue-haired woman with contempt.

When Kita-chan, a lively and outgoing girl, heard that they were going to have a meal together, she was also very happy and was chattering with Hongxia's mother.

However, a certain girl present had a completely different experience.

—Eh!?

Goto was terrified and felt as if he didn't fit in with everyone.

Get together and have a meal!? Could it be that this is the fifth of the "ten things that socially anxious people cannot experience" - having a meal together!?

At the dinner table, everyone was happily chatting, but I was the only one sitting there, unable to contribute to the conversation at all. I stood there like an obstacle, my only function being to block everyone's sight and communication, like some unrecyclable garbage...

Wow, this is so tragic!

The pink-haired girl in sportswear had resistance written all over her face.

"Hey, Goto, do you want to have dinner with everyone? It will be fun~" At this moment, Sakuragawa Aki waved his hand and said to Pochi-chan with a smile.

"...Ah, yes, I have no objection."

Goto Ichiri answered weakly in a split second.

Even Pochi-chan, the ultimate social phobic, can't refuse other people's invitations at all!

"I'm so excited. Hey, Qiuqiu, where do you want to go eat? I know there's a good restaurant not far from the school."

"Hmm... I'll need to take the train back to Hanegaoka, so maybe I should find a shop near Shimokitazawa."

Aine-chan enthusiastically began to discuss the next steps with Sakuragawa Aki.

"Qiu, there's a barbecue restaurant nearby. The prices are low, the portions are large and the food is delicious~" Yamada Ryo on the side gave a thumbs up and added.

“I highly recommend it!”

Haha, it’s just that you, a scumbag woman, want to eat barbecue.

"...Well, you might not be very reliable, but I feel like it's probably right to listen to you when it comes to finding delicious food." Sakuragawa Aki said after thinking for a moment. "Then it's settled..."

"Hate it, I'm a reliable bassist..."

"Ha ha……"

Ah, it's over.

Seeing everyone around her happily chatting with each other, Pochi-chan began to melt slowly.

In this kind of atmosphere, it is impossible to say no!

Although, although Sakuragawa-san's proposal was something she couldn't refuse...

Woo…I must grab a spot in the corner when the time comes.

Just when Pochi-chan was feeling anxious, a pair of small hands gently pulled her pink sportswear.

"...Goto-kun, are you okay?"

Gao Songdeng looked at her with some concern, hesitated for a moment, and took out a flat candy wrapper from his pocket.

"Sorry...I'm done with the candy. This...is for you."

Eh, Eh!? Is this, trying to comfort me?

Woohoo, Takamatsu-san, you are so gentle~

Palladium Lost Death Jiuyu Sanqi Jiuba

The sensitive Miss Goto Ichiri was so moved that she accepted the candy wrapper while crying, and greatly increased the little penguin's favorability.

As expected, Takamatsu-san is the only one of my kind!

The girls chatted with each other in a heated atmosphere for a while, then left the lounge together and went to the front desk to find Ijichi Xingge and the PA lady who stayed behind.

…………

"Then, sister, please look after the store. We will be back before closing~" Ijichi Hongxia smiled and waved.

"Yeah, yeah~ That's why little brats are troublesome..." Ijichi Xingge said, waving her hand in disdain. "Go away, don't stay here and delay my work."

"What? I wanted to bring some comfort items to my sister. Humph~ I saw it all. My sister was just lazing around."

The girl with blonde side ponytail said angrily.

Comfort goods, want...

The original 'disdainful' expression on Miss Xingge's pretty face could no longer be disguised, and became slightly shaken. Her red eyes secretly glanced at Hongxia and Yingchuanqiu from time to time.

By the way, this tsundere store manager is so cute, he can actually show such a shy expression like a little girl, even though he is 29 years old. (laughs)

Chapter 166: Delightful Little Devil Miss PA

"Well, the manager is saying that she's looking forward to the gifts, so everyone should have fun too."

The PA lady at the side held her chin and tried to smooth things over with a smile.

By the way, you have been watching from the side for a long time, and you chose to speak only now. It must be after seeing Sister Xingge’s cute reaction that you stood up.

You have such a cheerful little devilish personality, Ms. PA.

“…L-Long-winded.”

Ichichi Xingge's pretty face flushed slightly and she complained softly.

Sakuragawa Aki was also watching the interaction between the two sisters with a faint smile on her lips.

Well, he's actually a 'joy monster' too. (laughs)

"Speaking of which, Qiu Jun, I forgot to tell you."

Miss PA's long sleeves covered her cherry lips. She narrowed her eyes slightly, slowly leaned over, and spoke softly to him with a touch of tenderness in her tone.

"The previous live performance was pretty good. Although technically, there were still some areas of immaturity, but..."

The woman with long straight black hair and delicate and beautiful face stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear.

"I'm very touched. As a 'teacher', after all... Qiu-kun can play so hard and happily."

Sakuragawa Aki turned his head and looked at her with a little surprise.

As you get closer, you can almost feel the slender and attractive curves of the black woman with long straight hair, and you can faintly smell the faint fragrance of Miss PA.

Different from the usual girlish fragrance of Aine-chan, it was a richer, subtle body fragrance, like a black tulip under the hazy moonlight.

Unexpectedly, Miss PA would agree so much with his performance.

His black eyes blinked slightly, a faint smile appeared on his handsome face, and Sakuragawa Aki said softly.

"Well, thank you. Miss PA also played an important role in my successful first live performance."

He was not being polite. Although his "Learning Ability LV3" provided him with considerable help in practicing the electronic organ, Ms. PA's generous teaching was equally important.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to achieve such a breakthrough in his skills in such a short period of time.
