My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

After saying that, he even helped her pat off the dust and dirt.

"Ah...yes, I'm sorry...I just saw someone I didn't know run in without thinking."

Pochi poked his fingers and apologized like a child who had done something wrong.

"Haha, that's so typical of you... Come here for a second."

Chaoyang naturally took Boqi's hand and pulled her in front of everyone.

So cute.

Despite appearing somewhat impatient, Ijichi Hoshika couldn't help but have this thought pop into her mind after seeing Pochi's performance.

"That's the guitarist I wanted to introduce to you!"

"Huh?... Even if you suddenly say that, I still don't understand what you mean!"

Ichi Nijika was stunned for a moment, then scratched her head in distress, seemingly trying to process the sudden situation.

"...While it's true we're short-staffed... well..."

She adjusted her expression, trying to appear more friendly, and then spoke to Poch in a gentle tone.

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

Upon hearing Hongxia's question, Boqi immediately hid behind Chaoyang as if by reflex, peeking out half of his head and tightly gripping his clothes, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Ah... I... my name is Goto Ichiri..."

Seeing Boqi's shy and timid appearance, Hongxia couldn't help but smile with relief, but Boqi felt even more inferior because of this smile.

Ah... What a cute girl, and she smells so nice...

Boqi sighed inwardly, feeling that he was completely incomparable to someone like Hongxia.

Seeing this, Chaoyang gently patted Boqi on the shoulder and then spoke with a smile.

"Hehe, her name is Goto Ichiri, and she's a well-known guitarist."

Hongxia was stunned for a moment.

"Huh? The really powerful kind?"

She blinked and looked at Pochi with curiosity.

Boqi immediately lowered his head, hid behind Chaoyang, and whispered.

"No...no...it's not that amazing..."

However, I received so many compliments online... so it must be pretty good, right?

Hongxia could also clearly see that Boqi's expression only revealed a hint of pride, and understood that she must think she was very capable.

Seeing Boqi's appearance, Chaoyang coughed lightly, trying to change the subject.

"Well, it is a bit presumptuous of me to come here so suddenly, but I actually have another purpose."

It goes without saying that this couldn't be just one thing, otherwise it would be too incomplete.

"Yes, actually my goal is to exchange her for Lena..."

"Aha?"

The Ichi sisters spoke in unison, their voices of surprise even louder than before, almost filled with disbelief.

Meanwhile, Lena remained an outsider, holding a spoon and intently eating her matcha parfait.

"Ah, ah..."

Every bite seemed so enjoyable, completely ignoring everything happening in front of them.

. .

"Don't think you can leave here standing up unless you explain yourself clearly."

Ultimately, the Iji sisters felt it was inconvenient to discuss personal matters in the performance hall, so they took Asahi upstairs to their home to talk.

Despite Chaoyang's bewildering behavior, he and Boqi were each served a cup of tea.

"Sister! Don't talk like a gangster!!!... But it's true that suddenly changing people... it's a bit troubling..."

At first, they suddenly mentioned they were from a talent agency... which made me think... But then again, we're just an amateur band, why would anyone sign us?

Thinking of this, Hongxia couldn't help but feel disappointed.

"Well, to be honest, I need Kaname Rakuna. But I don't want to cause you any trouble, so I asked Bochi... that is, this Ms. Goto... whose guitar skills are no less than Kaname Rakuna's."

Pochi felt a pang of disappointment at that moment.

So, I was just someone to be traded...? Actually, what he wanted was that child... Hmm... After all, who would need a paramecium like me?

"If you're not going to lose, why change it? Isn't that just fooling yourself..."

Ijichi Hoshika didn't hold back and directly refuted him, after all, she had asked Rakuna for her sister.

"Haha~ That's true, that was my initial plan too... But the atmosphere of that band... it felt a bit ominous... Pochi might get hurt if he went... As for Lena, I've heard rumors about her, she's a very self-centered guitarist."

Hongxia nodded in complete agreement.

She was the first person she had ever seen who was even more self-assured and unconventional than Yamada Ryo.

But Chaoyang continued speaking.

"...I asked Ms. Rinrinko about that, and she didn't expect you to have been looking for Ronna for so long. She originally thought it was just an emergency..."

"Hmph, that depends on her own wishes."

At this moment, Chaoyang spoke to Lena, who was dozing off beside him.

"Lena, I'll give you two cups of matcha parfait every day, plus buckwheat noodles for lunch. Would you like to come with me?"

Upon hearing the keyword, she looked as surprised as a cat, then stared blankly at the rising sun for a moment before speaking.

"Every day? New dependencies?"

"Yes, is that okay?"

Lena turned to look at Nijika again. Although Nijika was perfect as a breeder, ...

Lena felt a little bored.

and so.

After a moment, she nodded, her voice not loud, but loud enough for everyone to hear, "Yes, that's fine."

"Hey! You bastard, you've betrayed your master for personal gain!!!"

Ijichi Hoshika couldn't help but roar out, her voice rising several decibels with anger.

However, Lena was not intimidated at all.

Hongxia immediately tugged at her sister's sleeve.

Seeing this, Chaoyang quickly put his hands together and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. This child is indeed a bit self-centered, but I've asked other people, and she often helps other bands for free. She's not the kind of person who's only after profit. So, I hope you don't misunderstand."

Xingge crossed her arms and snorted coldly.

"Then how are you going to compensate us? You know, she ate more than just a few cups of matcha parfait here."

"Hmm... Of course there will be compensation."

Chaoyang smiled, quickly took out his wallet from his pocket, rummaged through it, and then took out three brand-new 10,000-yuan bills, which he gently placed on the table.

"Is this enough as compensation for her eating your matcha parfaits during this time? 3 yen."

Chapter 163 Returning to History.

"It's normal for band members to change, there's no need to make a fuss about it."

Just then, a new voice appeared on the scene, and someone had appeared next to him without anyone noticing.

"Liang!? What are you from?"

Hongxia immediately shouted it out.

Chaoyang also looked over and recognized the poker-faced, short-haired girl as Yamada Ryo.

"I saw no one downstairs, so I came up to find you."

She answered calmly, her tone perfectly composed.

"Could you please not just barge into my house without saying hello? Honestly."

Hongxia covered her forehead, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, half of my room is occupied by cold items, so this place is practically one of the cold's strongholds.

"Mmm...mmm..."

"Wait a minute, where's the money on the table?!... Oh no! That's our band's money, don't end up in your own pocket!!!"

Sure enough, Ryo was calmly and quickly putting the 30,000 yen that Asahi had just left into his coat pocket.

Upon hearing her younger sister's shouts, Ijichi Seika instantly flew into a rage, her eyes even twitching slightly.

The fists struck Liang's temples with precision, the force so great that Liang immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! It was just a joke!"

After seeing Liang admit his mistake, Hongxia softened.

"Sister, forget it. Liang was just messing around to be funny; she wouldn't actually steal money,"

Xingge thought about it and realized that Liang, after all, often worked as a cashier and wouldn't actually be greedy enough to do something like that. It seemed like he was just doing it to be funny.

However, it would be great for Hoshika to take the opportunity to fix things up, since her younger sister often had to take care of Yamada Ryo, which sometimes made her feel sorry for her.

This only terrified one person.

That was Pochi.

Boqi sat on the sofa, her face deathly pale. She slumped into a puddle, as if she had melted away, clearly terrified by what had just happened. Her hands gripped the sofa cushions tightly, her gaze blankly fixed on the ceiling.

That's terrifying... What if I make a mistake later? Will I be killed?!

Liang, who had just been disciplined, had now reverted to her poker face.

But when she noticed Pochi's appearance, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle softly.

"Pfft... This guy is actually quite interesting."

Hongxia glared at Liang helplessly.

"Liang, don't bully her."

Her tone was both reproachful and somewhat helpless.

She glanced at Liang, then at Boqi, her feelings a jumble of emotions. She'd finally found a guitarist with high skill, only to have him snatched away, leaving her with a complete stranger. And to make matters worse, the new member was incredibly friendly, leaving her with no reason to refuse. The only problem was that she now had serious doubts about whether this girl named "Goto Ichiri" could successfully integrate into the team.

How good is her guitar? Can she keep up with our pace? And... this girl hasn't uttered a complete sentence since we started; is it really okay to communicate with her? I wonder if she's qualified to be the lead singer.

"Um... Goto..."

Just as Hongxia was asking the question, Chaoyang interrupted.

"Just call her Pochi, she's a bit special. We're happier calling her by her nickname than her name...right, Pochi?"

Meanwhile, Pochi was also having some doubts.

Why does he know me so well...? And it's so strange... We've only met a few times, although he usually chats with me in the evenings. But when I'm with people I don't know well, I usually become completely out of it... or at least I can't say a word.

"...Pochi...They should be among the most important people in your life from now on. Things might not go smoothly at first, but don't worry. Your destiny has changed. High school and the kind of life you had before are no longer relevant to you...Maybe the closet is comfortable, but the place you yearn for is probably also..."

"If you want to pick up girls, can you find another place? Using these kinds of words is disgusting! I hate guys like you who use such flowery language."

Chaoyang was interrupted abruptly halfway through her sentence by Ijichi Hoshika.

"Oh my god!!! Why did you suddenly say something like that when the atmosphere was fine?!"

The little angel Hongxia immediately stood up for Chaoyang.

"Haha, don't mind us, you guys continue~~"

At this moment, Liang pulled out a clapperboard from somewhere, which was used for filming.

"...Then let's start over."
