Akiyama Mio was equally incredulous, "Wait... Ritsu, this, this isn't right..."

In that case, it seems like they weren't acting as heroes!

No way... Bai Qiu felt that if she continued playing along, things might get worse and she might actually be seen as the bad guy.

Besides, it would be quite troublesome to notify Hiratsuka Shizuka!

But why isn't Goto Ichiri awake yet?

Even though I know she's prone to fainting from fright, it shouldn't have taken this long.

She's faking fainting!

Bai Qiu felt that she had guessed the truth.

"Goto-kun, you're not awake, are you?"

Bai Qiu asked with a deep gaze.

Ritsu Tainaka also had doubts.

Goto Ichiri was being held by Akiyama Mio.

Finally, she couldn't keep up the act any longer.

In fact, Goto Ichiri's body was trembling the whole time.

However, Akiyama Mio was also struggling and trembling, and both of them were trembling, so Mio didn't notice.

"Ah... wait... you've misunderstood..."

Goto Ichiri mustered his courage and said in a weak voice.

Tainaka Ritsu looked at Goto Ichiri with surprise and suspicion.

Seeing that Goto Ichiri had woken up, Bai Qiu let out a soft breath before speaking.

"Goto and I are friends. There was a reason for what happened just now. You can ask her if you don't believe me."

My only friend!

Goto Ichiri nodded repeatedly in shame.

"Yes, we are friends, you...you've misunderstood."

However, looking at Goto Ichiri's appearance, she was even more timid and fearful than Akiyama Mio.

Ritsu Tainaka looked at Ichiri Goto with suspicion, even suspecting that he had been threatened.

"Is this true? Don't be afraid, young man."

"Mio and I will protect you."

Despite her fear, Akiyama Mio nodded firmly.

Bai Qiu stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at Goto Ichiri with a sense of helplessness.

"Really not..."

Despite saying that, Goto Ichiri's gaze wavered.

Bai Qiu clutched his chest, feeling a pang of heartache. Had he set his expectations too high for Yi Li?

Goto Ichiri: I just can't look strangers in the eye o(╥﹏╥)o

In the end, it was up to Bai Qiu herself to explain... to be misunderstood... to clarify... to be misunderstood again... to explain again, to clarify again...

Ritsu Tainaka and Mio Akiyama finally believed it.

However, when Bai Qiu revealed the chat history with Goto Ichiri, Tainaka Ritsu almost made a phone call again.

The two of them now stood with their heads down, looking ashamed, like children who had made a mistake, being punished in front of Bai Qiu.

"Ah... I'm so sorry, Shiraaki-kun, you should have said earlier that you were Hiratsuka-sensei's student."

Ritsu Tainaka scratched the back of his head apologetically, then clasped his hands together.

Then she looked at Goto Ichiri, who was huddled to the side. This girl seemed even more shy than Mio-chan.

Akiyama Mio blushed with embarrassment and said sincerely, "I'm so sorry! Shiraaki-kun, I've caused you trouble!"

"Please forgive us!" ×2

The two of them clasped their hands together in unison.

Bai Qiu nodded and gladly accepted the apology. To his surprise, the system even gave him a musical note reward for meeting the two people here, so there was nothing to be angry about.

"Besides, have you ever seen a bad guy as handsome as me?"

The three girls had this thought.

Although they don't deny Bai Qiu's good looks.

However, Goto Ichiri also felt that those popular and good-looking leaders in the class were often the ones who bullied others.

But she didn't dare to say it.

"It's all Mio's fault for spouting nonsense about school bullying!"

Ritsu Tainaka tilted his head and muttered to himself.

"What! You idiot, Ritsu, it was you who suddenly rushed up."

Akiyama Mio immediately retorted.

"Oh, I was just doing a heroic act!"

"Then you shouldn't have threatened Bai Qiu just now."

"That was just a joke. Bai Qiu doesn't look like a bad person at all."

Listening to their conversation, Bai Qiu waved his hand with a serious expression.

"Hmm... thankfully the misunderstanding has been cleared up, so don't argue because of me."

Goto Ichiri felt out of place watching everyone else having a good time.

"Yes, yes! In that case, we'll take our leave now. Bai Qiu is such a kind person!"

Feeling embarrassed and ashamed, Ritsu Tainaka prepared to slip away.

"Goodbye, Bai Qiu, and goodbye, Goto."

Akiyama Mio and Tainaka Ritsu gradually drifted away amidst their playful antics.

Actually, after seeing the guitar, Ritsu Tainaka originally wanted to persuade Ichiri Goto to join the light music club and become its guitarist.

However, after such an incident, in this awkward situation, one is either too embarrassed to bring it up again, or one simply forgets about it.

After the two left, Bai Qiu chuckled lightly, while Goto Ichiri felt guilty again.

"Goto-san..."

Bai Qiu slowly looked at Goto Ichiri.

"sorry!"

Goto Ichiri pretended to kneel down again.

"Goto-kun, stop kneeling."

Bai Qiu quickly stopped him, knowing that if Goto Ichiri knelt down again so easily, who knew what kind of trouble he might cause.

"I didn't mean to blame you, Ichiri."

In her haste, Bai Qiu blurted out the name.

In a daze, Goto Ichiri shuddered, "Ah, yes."

"Alright, tell me why you called me to the park."

Goto Ichiri felt guilty after making such a scene.

Goto Ichiri then began to explain her social anxiety and her inability to unleash her true potential in front of outsiders.

"So that's all!" Bai Qiu understood and offered words of comfort.

"Alright, I know all of this. Don't worry, I won't give up on you because of this."

how do you know?

Although Goto Ichiri was puzzled, upon hearing what Bai Qiu said, he smiled for the first time that day.

"Doesn't your smile look good?"

Bai Qiu praised him, saying, "Let's start encouraging Boqi-chan from now on!"

Goto Ichiri's face turned rosy.

"Wow! A guitar!"

Bai Qiu cried with joy.

There's no need for Bai Qiu to turn back.

The owner of the voice is the archangel of Shimokitazawa.

He had already jogged up to the two of them.

Chapter 12 Iji Chini Natsu

Bai Qiu and Goto Ichiri were drawn to the newcomer.

Unlike Goto Ichiri's rustic attire.

The girl in front of me was wearing a pair of red ankle boots, a blue-green long-sleeved jacket, and a white short skirt.

The red ribbon tied around her neck trembled as she moved.

Her striking golden hair was styled into a long, side ponytail.

Most interestingly, a nearly triangular piece of hair floats in the air.

She looks petite, lively, and adorable.

"Is that a guitar? Can you play it?"

Ichi Nijika looked at Goto Ichiri with delight and asked.

Goto Kazuri: "..."

Since Goto Ichiri didn't answer, Ichichi Nijika blinked in confusion, then looked apologetically at Shiraaki beside her:

"Excuse me, I came here suddenly. My name is Ijichi Nijika, and I'm a second-year student at Shimokitazawa High School. What about you?"

Bai Qiu replied, "My name is Bai Qiu, and I am a first-year student at Sakuragaoka Shuka High School."

Goto Ichiri secretly breathed a sigh of relief; thankfully, Shiraaki was there.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to handle this situation at all.

However, Bai Qiu suddenly turned to Goto Ichiri and smiled, "She is too, Goto-kun. Remember to greet people properly."

Goto Ichiri didn't dare to look directly at Iji Chi Nijika, her eyes darting away as she looked at the ground as she spoke, "Ah, I, my name is Goto Ichiri."

"Wow!" Hongxia said excitedly, "So, how good is your guitar, Ichiri?"

"Ah, it should be alright..."

Goto Ichiri was startled. Did he call me by my name right away?!

"Well, actually I've run into a little trouble. It's okay if it's inconvenient for you, it's not a big deal, but it's just a bit of a hassle..."

Ichi Nijika looked at the two of them, rubbed her hands together gently, and spoke.

Goto Ichiri thought to himself, "That sounds like it would be really troublesome..."

Bai Qiu also felt that if it weren't for Yi Li, Hong Xia would definitely have been rejected.

"So, I'll just say it straight: please, could you be my band's temporary guitarist for a bit?!"

"There's a performance coming up, but the guitarist and lead singer has suddenly disappeared. Please help!"

Ichi Nijika clasped her hands together.

"Anyone who knows a little guitar can play it well."
