There are always girls in bands who want to date me

"For example, if you're playing an F chord barre, instead of pressing it hard, you should slightly relax your arm and let your hand hang naturally. This will create a downward force..."

Goto Ichiri pointed at Chihaya Aine's guitar, helped her position her fingers one by one, and provided her with better force techniques.

The two were sitting opposite each other, their long pink hair fluttering gently in the breeze outside the window, and under the warm sunshine, it looked like a beautiful cherry blossom tree.

"Oh~ I feel it. This is indeed much better than pressing it directly with force. It feels a little less effort." Chihaya Aine looked at the girl in pink sportswear next to her with shining eyes, as if she was looking at a pile of treasures.

"Hmm...remember to relax a bit. If you use too much force on your fingers, your arm will become stiffer, which will be detrimental to the subsequent chord changes..."

It was already after school.

After having lunch together in the Astronomy Club at noon, they spent some time to comfort Pochi-chan, then Sakuragawa Aki and the others returned to the classroom, and only came to the Astronomy Club together again after school.

Pochi-chan was very dedicated and taught Aine-chan the pitfalls she encountered when she was learning on her own and some key techniques.

For Ichiri Goto, who also taught herself guitar, there is almost no better teacher among her peers than her. After all, she is not an electric guitarist, nor is she a talented girl picked out of thousands.

Although Pochi-chan is highly skilled and talented, her current skills are all acquired through hard practice day and night, and she has not taken any shortcuts.

For Aine-chan, a pure guitar novice, this is the guidance she needs most at the moment.

Compared to working on her own and practicing by following the beginner tutorial videos found online, with Pochi-chan's help, Chihaya Aine can improve her efficiency by almost several times.

Do you understand the value of one-on-one private lessons? (laughs)

After a while, Chihaya Aine put down her guitar and prepared to take a short break.

"Hey, thank you so much, Yili-chan. How about buying you a drink later? What flavor do you like?"

"Um, um, the name..."

Goto Ichiri shrank slightly and spoke in a low voice.

"Eh? Name? What's wrong with the name? Ichiri-chan doesn't like this name? Then... Ichiri?"

Aiyin-chan tapped her chin with one hand, thought seriously for a moment, and then said with a sweet smile.

"No! It's nothing... just now is fine."

Goto Ichiri suddenly lost the courage to continue speaking.

Wow, calling someone by their name all of a sudden is a bit too intimate, Aine-san is really quite the character, she can actually build a close relationship with others right away, calling each other by their names and stuff...

"Well?"

Chihaya Aine tilted her head in confusion, then a bright smile appeared on her face, and her voice was sweet and very cute.

"Hey, is this Ichiri-chan's guitar? Can I open it and take a look?"

She pointed to the black guitar bag that was placed next to Goto Ichiri's seat.

“…Please, please.”

Goto Ichiri, who was still a little uncomfortable with Aine-chan's aura, answered haltingly.

"Really? Thank you Ichiri-chan~"

After getting permission, Chihaya Aine showed a hint of curiosity on her pretty face and reached out to the guitar bag beside her.

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head helplessly, walked over from the window, and gently hit the pink-haired creature on the back of its head with his hand knife.

"—Don't talk to yourself like that!"

"It hurts...Qiuqiu, why did you hit me suddenly~" Chihaya Aine covered her head and turned her head. Her big light gray eyes were watery, as if she had suffered some injustice.

I didn't use any strength at all, you sugary pinkie! If you keep on being so sugary, I'll have to let you try my "Unarmed Combat Level 1"!

However, we can't let this pink-haired cat develop bad habits here.

"Don't touch other people's instruments casually. Moreover, even if you are members of the same band, you need to pay special attention to this." Sakuragawa Aki said lightly.

"Eh? Band members aren't allowed to do that either? Why, Qiuqiu?"

Although Chihaya Aine looked a little confused, she sat down obediently.

She sat in a very girlish manner, with her hands on her slightly red knees, her skin crystal white, and she did not reach out to touch Pochi-chan's guitar.

At first glance, he looks like a good and well-behaved student.

"First, rock instruments are generally expensive and easily damaged. Guitars and basses, for example, require careful care and maintenance."

Sakuragawa Aki raised a finger and patiently explained to her.

"So there's this unwritten rule among band members: 'Don't touch other people's instruments unless you really need them,' to avoid any disputes over this matter."

"If someone accidentally breaks a valuable musical instrument due to clumsiness, it's easy for people to argue with each other or feel unhappy."

Moreover, some people also regard the musical instruments they use frequently as very important, like a "partnership that always accompanies them and fights side by side with them". If they are accidentally broken, it is no longer a matter of money.

Many bands end up disbanding because of disputes over musical instruments.

"Oh... I see." Chihaya Aine nodded, then asked curiously, "So, is there more to come? Qiuqiu, you just said this was the first one."

"second……"

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly and pointed at the black guitar bag next to Pochi-chan.

"This is a big black card worth 500,000 yen."

“——Ehhhhh!?”

Gibson Black Card 1968, the guitar that Pochi inherited from her father, priced at yen.

If calculated based on the price before Sakuragawa Aki traveled through time, this guitar would have been sold at a sky-high price of over 950,000 yen.

Of course, the price of the same model guitar as the one with Sugar Pink Hair is also quite high (laughs).

"Ichiri-chan, you're so awesome~" Chihaya Aine couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the girl in pink sportswear beside her.

"Well, this is just my dad's old guitar. I borrowed it from him. It's nothing special..."

However, even though she said this, Pochi-chan couldn't help but feel a little flattered inside when this cute pink-haired guy looked at her with such admiration.

"Hey hey~"

Chapter 88: Gentle Black Straight Personal Guidance

“…Well, I’ll be leaving now. Remember to practice well, Aine.”

Sakuragawa Aki stood at the door of the astronomy club and waved to the girls.

"Yeah, are you going to work? See you tomorrow, Qiuqiu~" Chihaya Aine put down the guitar, smiled sweetly at him, and waved goodbye.

"See you tomorrow, Autumn."

The little penguin sitting at the table stopped wiping the stone, hesitated for a moment, stood up, and ran towards him.

"Here, for..."

In the girl's fair and slender little hand, there lay quietly a pebble with strange patterns, as if it had been picked up from an unknown stream.

Xiao Deng raised the stone in his hand high and extended it to Sakuragawa Aki. Seeing him accept it with a smile, a small cute smile appeared on his face.

"Um, well, I also..."

Seeing that Sakuragawa Aki was about to leave, Goto Ichiri, who was sitting next to Chihaya Aine, was also about to slip away, and spoke hesitantly.

Although she didn't feel uncomfortable when interacting with Takamatsu-san, if she didn't have the friendly Sakuragawa-san by her side as a buffer, and directly interacted with the lively girl Chihaya Aine-san, Pochi-chan would feel uncomfortable all over!

The girl in pink tracksuit moved her butt little by little as if she wanted to avoid attracting everyone's attention, intending to follow Sakuragawa Aki quietly and leave the club room together.

"Hey~ Ichiri-chan, I still don't quite understand the chord you just talked about. Could you accompany me for a little longer, please~"

However, it is counterproductive.

At the most critical moment, the pink-haired devil Aine (from Pochi-chan's perspective) spoke out to stop Goto Ichiri from leaving.

Pochi-chan froze.

Chihaya Aine was blinking her large light gray eyes, looking at her with a pleading look.

"It only takes a little time, Ichiri-chan, alright~"

"Gu..."

Faced with such a sunny (sweet) and cheerful expression, and those soft and sweet words, Pochi-chan was instantly overwhelmed and speechless.

Ms. Goto Ichiri, the ultimate social phobic, has no way of refusing other people's requests!

Goto Ichiri looked at Sakuragawa Aki at the door for help, trying to get the help of this handsome boy with a strange affinity to help him escape from the clutches of the big devil.

Unfortunately, she was completely desperate the next moment.

"Yeah, Goto-san too, see you tomorrow, bye~"

Sakuragawa Aki smiled at the girl in pink sportswear, waved his hand gently, and turned to leave the astronomy club without any hesitation.

Wuwuwu, Sakuragawa-san, please don't go, please save me~

…………

Sakuragawa Aki obviously couldn't hear Pochi-chan's inner monologue, but the girl's expression was very easy to understand. Not only him, but even Aine-chan could probably see her uneasiness.

After all, Chihaya Aine is a cute-looking real-life girl. As a real-life girl, the ability to read people's expressions is the most basic of the basics.

QQ: 8 14 90 379 8

Can you read the air? (laughs)

That's why Aine tried to keep Pochi-chan, wanting to improve their relationship, get closer to each other, and dispel her inner anxiety.

If Sakuragawa Aki is present, Pochi-chan will unconsciously rely on him in her heart, leading to a false sense of security and being unable to truly become friends with Aine.

Just like after joining the Ending Band, it would be difficult for Pochi-chan to be alone with Ms. Yamada Ryo without Hongxia Mama to adjust the atmosphere.

Miss Pochi, who looks very cute but is unaware of it, and is extremely socially anxious and sensitive inside, was foolishly arranged by Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine.

Silly Pochi-chan, so cute~

…………

"The fingering here should be like this... Qiujun's hands are relatively large, so be careful not to over-tip your fingers. The fingertips should be like this... relaxed and touching the keys."

Miss PA tied up her long black hair with one hand, bent down slightly, and placed one hand on the black and white piano keys. Her white and slender fingers, with black nail polish on their fingertips, were a little tempting.

She was gently teaching Sakuragawa Aki some key details on how to advance in playing the electronic piano.

"Yeah~ That's right, Qiu-kun is a quick learner."

After a while, Miss PA smiled slightly, her emerald green eyes blinked slightly, like a little devil, and her long black sleeves covered her cherry lips.

"It's easy for beginners to get stiff in their ring and pinky fingers, but you've done a great job switching and coordinating between your two hands. You're truly worthy of being Qiu-kun..."

"No, it's all thanks to Miss PA's teaching." Sakuragawa Aki said modestly.

"Hmm, how could that be? I put so much effort into learning the piano back then." Miss PA, unfazed by his flattery, smiled and spoke softly. "Qiu-jun is truly a genius. He was a complete novice before, but I didn't expect him to pick it up so quickly."

The urn suspected that the wine order was abandoned for a long time

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head and spoke casually.

"No, after all, there are countless geniuses in playing musical instruments. Compared to those true geniuses, I'm just a beginner."

"Well, that's not wrong. Some geniuses really make people feel that the gap between people is really huge~" Miss PA tilted her head.

"However, Qiu Jun, there's no need to underestimate yourself. I think it won't be long before Qiu Jun becomes a rising star in the music industry."

She reached out and fiddled with her black bangs that reached her eyebrows, and a hint of playfulness appeared in her originally soft and gentle tone.

"After all, Qiu Jun is so handsome that he will surely charm countless girls. As long as he can stand on the stage, I think he will definitely gain a large number of fans~"

"No, that has nothing to do with musicality anyway. Relying on looks to attract fans..." Sakuragawa Aki shook her head, helpless. "Please stop ruining the worldview of rock bands, Ms. PA."

I don't want to perform in a chuunibaku theater with a difficult mask on.

"Hey~ I'm obviously serious..."

"Yes, yes~"

The two of them laughed and chatted, taking a short break.

It was already night.

The "Stars" Livehouse had just seen off the last batch of customers and closed. After a simple cleanup, Sakuragawa Aki shamelessly came to ask the PA lady about electronic piano knowledge.
