There are always girls in bands who want to date me

Sakuragawa Aki greeted Ijichi Hongka who was lying on the bar counter and looked inside with some curiosity.

The girl's triangular frizz was a little wilted, and her side ponytail was a little messy. It seemed that many customers had just come to the bar to place orders.

I'm so tired, so alone

Chihaya Aine stood aside with the little penguin. Her light gray eyes were sparkling and she looked very energetic. There was a happy smile on the corner of her mouth, and it seemed that she had experienced quite a bit of novelty.

"Hey~Qiuqiu, there are so many people here just now. This is my first time communicating with so many people."

Stop talking now, or Hongxia Mama will be melted into a puddle by your shining halo of instant gratification.

"Qiu...working part-time, so awesome."

The little penguin hid behind the pink fur, revealing half of its head, and its fair face turned red.

"Oh? Did Xiao Deng also join in entertaining the guests?"

"...No, no."

Faced with his question, the girl quickly retracted her head, as if hiding something.

"Hehe~ Deng-chan's hospitality just now was really cute. Even though... it was a little awkward, the customer was actually amused."

“Aine…don’t say that.”

Gao Songdeng quickly and gently shook the pink-haired girl's shoulders, her cheeks slightly flushed, and she seemed a little shy.

"Hmm... I should be able to imagine it."

Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly and said, "But it's still remarkable that Xiao Deng can muster up the courage to entertain guests."

I guess the scene at that time was the same as the famous scene when Pochi-chan got her first part-time job.

Huan Huan Huan, welcome to come, come, come...or something like that.

In response to his praise, the little penguin retracted its head again, but this time even its earlobes turned slightly red, which was very cute.

"By the way, where's Liang? Hasn't she come back yet?" Sakuragawa Akira asked curiously. "But, I saw her come in from the door earlier."

"As for Ryo, my sister called me backstage to help out. She said she was severely scolded for skipping work to go to lunch. She said, 'You won't be able to have a seat at the celebration party later.'"

Lying on the table, Ijichi Hongxia turned her head to the side and adjusted her ponytail, and said weakly,

"This scumbag woman totally deserves it." Sakuragawa Aki turned around and saw that Nagasaki Motoyo was also missing.

"As for Sushi-chan, she also took the initiative to help in the backstage. What a kind young lady! Ryo's family background is also very good, but her personality is not even one tenth of hers. Really~"

No, these two people are basically the same. If you compare them, the blue-haired woman who is consistent in appearance and heart is better.

By the way, why should I compare these two people? What is there to compare these two people... Is it just a matter of comparing the bottom line?

"By the way, Qiu, listen to me!"

At this moment, Ijichi Hongxia seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly jumped up from the bar, her red eyes glowing slightly, and she spoke in an excited tone.

"Aine-chan, you mentioned before that you used to be a guitar vocalist and even performed at a junior high school festival!"

"Oh? So you want to form a band with her?"

Kita-chan, are you going to be optimized again?

A few days ago, Hongxia's mother had vaguely revealed to him that she had the idea of forming a band. After all, Yamada Ryo showed it so obviously that day, and he was not a slow-witted person.

"Besides, I heard that Deng-chan used to be the lead singer of a band!"

Yes, Pochi-chan has also been optimized, so now we have the lead singer + guitarist complete.

Hongxia + Liang + Aine-chan + Little Penguin, what kind of galactic fleet is this? Why would I have such a dream?

Do you want to pick up another unwanted donut lady (Mana) from the roadside and form a double-vocalist Super Galaxy Battleship?

"Hmm... Please don't say this in front of me."

"Eh?"

Seeing her puzzled expression, Sakuragawa Aki sighed and didn't explain too much. He just leaned close to Ijichi Hongka's ear and whispered something simple.

"The band has disbanded, and Xiao Deng is very sad now."

"Oh~"

The considerate Hong Xia Mama decisively covered her mouth and looked back at the two girls who were chatting not far away. It seemed that they didn't notice what was being said here.

After all, it's a livehouse, and the rock instruments are very loud.

Chapter 42 One day, I will make this place...

"--cheers!"

A large table was filled with various foods and snacks, as well as several boxes of fried chicken.

Ijichi Xingge, who was sitting at the outermost edge, raised the drink in his hand and said a few simple words of thanks to the people present.

"Anyway, thank you all for your hard work today. Thanks to you all, today's sales are also..."

"Hyoka-chan~ That's completely unnecessary. I think it would be better to be a little more frank and thank you directly."

The PA lady with black shoulder-length hair sitting next to her pulled her sleeve and smiled, indicating that she should make some minor corrections to her speech.

This guy is the real Black Cut Black.

“Nah…Nah!”

The store manager's cheeks were slightly red, and her pretty face, which looked a little mature, no longer had the sharp expression it once had.

It was already evening, and after a busy day, "Stars" Livehouse finally closed, ending its business for the day.

At this time, the internal employees also started a small celebration party, but it was called a celebration party, in fact it was just a gathering together to eat and drink, and some drinks, snacks and desserts filled the table.

In fact, most of these are prepared for the bands performing live, so that they can quickly replenish their energy during the intervals between stages and during preparations. However, there are always some snacks that are not used.

In order to prevent it from spoiling the next day, they can only digest it internally. Thanks to this, Hongxia's mother has been complaining recently that her weight seems to be increasing.

If you eat cakes every night, you will get fat.

⒈0﹄２②８彡○玖㈧

As for the snacks bought for the performing band, why most of them are Hongxia’s favorites, I can only say... stay out of Tsundere’s business.

Well, even though this arrogant store manager was embarrassing himself again, no one present paid much attention to him. After a symbolic toast, everyone started chatting and eating.

There's nothing I can do. We're just too familiar with each other. I guess the store manager is so excited today because there are a few new faces helping out.

"It's cold! Don't be so rude, let the guests taste it first!"

"Woo~ Hongxia, I'm starving..."

Ijichi Hongxia and Yamada Ryo started interacting as usual, while Sakuragawa Aki, who was sitting next to Hongxia's mother, rested his chin on his hand and looked at the little penguin beside him.

Takamatsu Deng was staring intently at the five-colored dumplings on the plate in front of him, with a silly look on his face and his head slightly tilted, wondering what he was thinking.

"Deng-chan, do you want to eat this? Here~"

Chihaya Aine placed a plate of daifuku next to her and considerately picked one for her.

The two of them held the little penguin in the middle, one on each side. From a distance, it looked like a young couple taking care of their daughter...

But, please spare me the daughter of the same age.

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly and spoke to the little penguin beside him.

"Deng, are you used to today? Is there anything you're not used to?"

Startled by his words, Gao Songdeng lowered his head slightly, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "There are... so many people. I'm a little restless."

Well, Xiao Deng is indeed not used to being in crowded places. However, since he can sing and recite poems loudly in front of hundreds of people, he cannot be considered as completely socially anxious.

As long as something catches his attention, the little penguin will not be afraid of anything around him.

This is the advantage of single-threaded CPU.

"Qiuqiu, don't ask like that. If you want to ask, of course you should ask whether Deng-chan is having a good day today~"

"Aine-chan...um, thank you so much today for always being by my side and helping me."

"Hehe, you're welcome." Chihaya Aine smiled very cutely, her little fangs shining, and she touched the little penguin beside her affectionately with her shoulder.

"But I got to know so many people today, and it feels really strange... Live."

Thinking back to the dynamic music in the live performance, the wonderful performances of each band, and the enthusiastic cheers and applause from the audience, I always feel like I have fallen in love with this feeling.

The pink-haired girl turned her gaze towards Sakuragawa Aki.

Is this the feeling of the band he mentioned before? Each one of them is sparkling, just like the beautiful pebbles in a summer stream, their surfaces shining under the sunlight.

I always feel that seeing such a scene makes me... yearn for it.

If I could stand on the stage like that, even those memories that I don't want to recall and that bother me, I would be able to easily overcome them and forget them all!

The girl who was infected by Live for the first time couldn't help but feel a faint longing in her heart.

It’s different from my student days when I would get stares from classmates when I performed at school festivals and graduation ceremonies.

That was a more passionate, more noticed and admired moment, a shining moment that belonged to the band alone.

Sakuragawa Aki on the side narrowed his eyes slightly, not moved by the cute reaction and rosy face of the pink-haired girl in front of him.

Although I don't know why Chihaya Aine suddenly seemed a little excited.

But she didn't notice that the little penguin beside her had unconsciously lowered his gaze and turned his head slightly, as if he didn't want Aine-chan to see the expression on his face.

——Live, for the little penguin, is also a place where it is easy to feel sad.

Come to think of it, it seems that Takamatsu Deng didn't go to the backstage to watch the live performance once today.

Sure enough, it's a bit too early to drag him to the Livehouse now...

The little penguin's pain about the live performance is probably no less than that of the band. It seems that he needs to adjust the order of his goals a little.

I had originally thought of letting Little Penguin stay at "Fanxing" to work for two days, so as to awaken her good memories of the band. Now it seems that this method does more harm than good.

In this case, there is no need to waste time in the Livehouse at this stage, just proceed to the next step.

Regarding the live performance issue, we can only wait until the band is formed to figure it out...

The thoughts flashed through his mind, and after only a moment, Sakuragawa Aki had thought of everything. His black eyes blinked slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

He gently touched the girl next to him with his shoulder.

"……Autumn?"

Awakened by his movements, the little penguin turned to look at him, a hint of moisture still appearing in its light golden amber eyes.

"Deng, are you free tomorrow?"

"...Tomorrow? I don't have any reservations."

"Eh? What's wrong? Do you have any plans for tomorrow?" Chihaya Aine also heard what he said, poked her little head out from behind Takamatsu Deng, and looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Don't you need to come here to help tomorrow? Didn't you book it for a few more days?"

"Well, if you want to come, you can come here next weekend. Tomorrow... I have other things to do."

Sakuragawa Aki turned his head and glanced across the table at Miss Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been observing them silently.

"Let's meet at Lixi's place tomorrow night. I have something I want to discuss."

Chapter 43 Your route is too weird

After saying this, Sakuragawa Aki's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to this morning when he was talking to Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Sakuragawa-kun, actually, I have one more thing I want to ask of you..."

Just as he was about to end his conversation with Nagasaki Motoyo, the other party made another request.

Nagasaki Suyo slowly stood up, playing with her long, slightly curly hair that fell on her shoulders with one hand in a somewhat unnatural manner, pursed her cherry lips slightly, and spoke in a slightly hesitant tone.

"Actually, after the previous band disbanded, we...never really communicated with each other again. I think everyone must be very troubled by this outcome."
