There are always girls in bands who want to date me

"Qiu...classmate."

After a while, the girl finally raised her head slowly, looked into his eyes and whispered.

"Well, this way it will be much easier to read."

In fact, he himself finds this surname difficult to pronounce. Compared to pronouncing it as 'Sakura gawa', simply calling it 'Aki' is much simpler.

"Well, Aki-kun, that... is my name." As she spoke, Kita Ikuyo's voice gradually became smaller, and she became visibly depressed.

The girl's emerald green eyes seemed to have lost their luster at this moment.

Isn't the name 'Yudai' something only elderly grandmothers would call me? And the pronunciation is like 'Ikuyo', which sounds like a bad joke. Wow.

However, if I don’t tell the other person my name, will they think I’m too difficult to approach, or that I’m the kind of girl with a very arrogant attitude?

Wuuuu, don’t do that kind of thing…!

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head helplessly, looking at the red-haired girl in front of him who looked like a deflated doll, and felt like his soul was about to run out of his mouth.

I shouldn't have brought up this topic earlier.

"...Um, Kita-san, what do you want me to call you?"

"Eh?"

The red-haired girl raised her head and looked at him with some confusion.

"What I mean is, Kita-san, what kind of name do you think can prove that we are friends?"

Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly.

"Girls, I think, all like cute names. Although I'm not very knowledgeable in this area, I can only ask Kita-san for advice."

"Friends?"

"Well, of course." Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes, nodded and said softly.

"Kita-san helped me, and I helped Kita-san once too. Although I don't think I did anything very useful, this way, Kita-san and I can be considered friends."

He blinked gently, his dark pupils were clear and calm, with a hint of the soft glow of the early morning, and his handsome features seemed to have a unique affinity.

"...Friends, aren't they supposed to help each other?"

Kita Ikuyo stared blankly at the boy in front of her, and felt as if her heart trembled slightly at this moment.

…………

After a brief chat with Kita Ikuyo, the two returned to the classroom together.

For some reason, the girl seemed a little absent-minded along the way, and even communication suddenly became a little difficult. Sakuragawa Aki wondered if she had said something wrong?

Fortunately, after returning to the classroom, the girls in the class had calmed down and returned to their seats.

Maybe it was because he had said before that he preferred girls who were more "understanding", so at this moment they were all very well-behaved and no one came around him in a rush.

Sakuragawa Aki breathed a sigh of relief. This time she had gotten through it safely. If all the girls in the class became as clingy as the women in the Livehouse, going to school would be too painful.

However, classes in Japan are re-divided every academic year. If that really happens, I guess I'll just have to endure it for a year and it will be fine.

Sakuragawa Aki casually hung his schoolbag on the side of his desk, said hello to the little penguin at the next table, and just as he sat down, he heard the system prompt sound in his ears.

[You have acquired the skill: Leadership LV1]

This skill... should be given to him by Kita-san, but it's really fast. I didn't expect that after just a few simple words, his favorability level has reached the first stage.

Is it because the initial favorability was relatively high?

I always feel that the skill explosion rate has been really high these days. Could it be that I am also going to start evolving into the God of Strategy?

Will it evolve into a wonderful life where girls are all mentally developing their own strategies, and I can easily gain skills just by lying down?

...Just kidding.

[Leadership: LV1]

[Comment: You possess a subtle leadership quality that makes others more willing to obey your commands and leadership. When facing interpersonal situations, people tend to subconsciously center around you. However, this quality is still very weak and cannot make strangers blindly follow your instructions. I can only say that the future is promising.]

[Note: Before you have sufficient strength, please do not over-exert your leadership skills, as this may lead to unexpected mishaps.]

…………

Hmm... this skill is pretty good.

Generally speaking, the central figure in a social circle usually has a certain leadership temperament, which can make others subconsciously consider issues based on their own ideas and even influence their behavior style.

Of course, this presupposes that you possess some unique and outstanding characteristics, such as good academic performance, a good family background, good looks, a good personality, etc.

But... Sakuragawa Aki held his chin lightly and thought silently.

What he was thinking about was whether this skill, if mastered to the later stages, could bring about extremely terrifying leadership qualities.

Just like C-Flash's "Leadership A+"...

No, that was too much of an exaggeration. The leadership that a demigod had cultivated through a lifetime in the distant Age of the Gods must have surpassed human limits...

I guess it's only possible at LV6.

Well, maybe then I can play a modern version of "Uruk Remains Here".

Think a little excited.

"System, personal panel." Sakuragawa Aki muttered to himself.

[Comment: Your exceptional appearance and numerous skills give you a significant advantage when interacting with others. Most people will develop a certain level of trust and affection for you based on their first impression. Even those with weaker mental defenses will willingly accept being deceived by you, even if they know it. So, my suggestion is to switch careers and become an idol or gigolo.]

...Be a ghost.

Because of the hard work she's been doing these past few days, Sakuragawa Aki's cooking skills finally broke through to level 2 last night. However, it doesn't feel like much has changed, and the food she makes doesn't shine at all...

However, the dishes he made were much better in taste and appearance. I feel that he should be able to be a chef in some small restaurants now.

Um, does cooking in a Michelin restaurant require any cooking skills?

Chapter 60: Sitting at the same table with war criminal Teacher Da Miao

"Qiuqiu, hello~"

Just as Sakuragawa Aki was chatting with the little penguin at the next table, a pink-haired girl carrying a guitar bag came into the classroom from the front door and greeted him at the door very cheerfully.

Sakuragawa Aki supported his chin with one hand, turned his head, and glanced at the pink-haired Aine-chan helplessly.

Spare ㈨㈥０⒈贰б2㈦○

Seriously, you even had to run in through the front door, afraid that your classmates wouldn’t see the guitar you were carrying, right?

This vain Aiyin-chan is no longer needed~

“Good morning, Aine-san, that’s…”

"Aine-chan, are you in a band too?"

"Hey, what instrument is that? A guitar? Or a bass? It looks so cool~"

As expected, seeing her walk in so conspicuously from the front door, several familiar classmates came forward to greet her and asked curiously.

Yingchuan Qiu seriously suspected that the pink-haired girl had deliberately chosen the time to enter the classroom, picking a time when most of the students in the class had already arrived...

In the past few days, the pink-haired Aine-chan has been trying hard to gain the favor of the girls in her class. Seeing that she hangs out with Takamatsu Deng and Sakuragawa Aki every day, those girls are naturally happy to interact with her.

Who made Sakuragawa-san and Takamatsu-san so aloof usually? There was absolutely no chance for them to talk to each other. During lunch break, they would just go to the Astronomy Department to have lunch together.

Therefore, this cheerful and lively pink-haired girl in front of me is simply a natural bridge!

Since then, Anon's campus life has been extremely comfortable these days. She is simply a social terrorist and can strike up a conversation with people wherever she goes.

And today, she obviously wants to make a big move.

"Hehe, I thought a band seemed like something fun, so I formed one with my friends~"

Chihaya Aine held the shoulder straps of her guitar bag with both hands, smiling lightly as if embarrassed, but her light gray eyes were sparkling.

Well, this pink-haired girl is completely hopeless. I guess she must be very happy now.

"Eh? Forming a band? Are they from Haneda? Could it be... with people from other schools?"

“Wow~ Aine-chan is amazing. By the way, is this a guitar?”

"Are you going to practice after school today? I heard there's a new livehouse opening in Ikebukuro, do you want to check it out?"

Facing the curious looks from her classmates, Aine-chan looked around and then cleared her throat and spoke.

"Actually, one of our band members is a girl from Tsukinomori Girls' Academy."

"Ehh!? Moon Forest? Could it be that Moon Forest?"

"Wow... is that the school full of young ladies?"

"Hey~ I heard that Tsukinomori always says 'Hello' when greeting people at school every day. Is that true, Aine-chan?"

Hearing her bring up such an important topic, the classmates in the class were naturally attracted to her attention and looked over. The girls surrounding her also asked curiously.

"Yeah, she's indeed a gentle young lady. Even her usual sitting posture is very elegant. Listen to me, when that person speaks, but..."

Aine-chan didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly revealed the information she got from Miss Moshi, causing the students around her to let out a few low gasps.

Soon, she satisfied the girls' curiosity and received a wave of praise and envious glances from her classmates.

But for Aine-chan, these are just appetizers now. The real topic bomb is still to come!

In the back row of the classroom, Sakuragawa Aki, who was leaning his chin on the table, sighed softly. He felt that there was no way he could escape today. It seemed that he could only torture this stinky pink-haired guy severely when the time came.

Sure enough, following his premonition, the pink-haired creature came skipping towards him and the little penguin, seemingly wanting to return to its seat.

However, when she walked to the front of the little penguin's table, Chihaya Aine stopped, bent down slightly, held the shoulder straps of the guitar bag with both hands, and spoke sweetly to the little penguin who was looking at her with a confused face, and Sakuragawa Aki who looked helpless.

"Hey, Qiuqiu, Dengdeng, what are we going to do about today's practice? Our band..."

After saying that, Chihaya Aine smiled playfully.

Her voice wasn't very loud, but in this quiet classroom environment, naturally the whole class could hear it clearly.

When you are in love with the cool and beautiful girl in your class, is it enough to just tell a few close friends?

If you want to gain the envy and jealousy of others, then of course you have to make a high-profile announcement in front of the whole class!

Aine-chan, who is a thoughtful and careful person, was of course too embarrassed to say it out loud, but she used this kind of 'confessional' question to more tactfully announce the relationship between the few of them to the public.

Well, the little bit of shame she has left should be considered her hard-earned treasure.

"Eh hey hey!?" x N

As expected, with her "self-explosion", the atmosphere in the class was instantly ignited in the early morning. The girls rushed over and surrounded Sakuragawa Aki and the little penguin!

"Sakuragawa-kun, are you joining a band? When? What's the name of the band!?"

"Hey, can I follow your band's account?"

"Are you going to perform at the school festival? I'll definitely be there to cheer you on!"

"That's great~ I think I'd join in too. Sakuragawa-san, do you play any instruments? I'm actually pretty good at guitar~"

"My my! I sing very well. Is Sakuragawa-kun still in need of a lead singer?"

…………

"Does Deng-chan like the band?"

"Takamatsu-san, when did you and Sakuragawa-kun form a band together?"

"Hey~ what's Takamatsu-san's position? Guitar? Or vocals?"
