Knights Don't Need a Youthful Romance Story

Page 1080

If this were in the past, Goto Ichiri would probably be in a state of being a frightened monkey right now.

Even a casual glance from someone can make her feel uneasy and start overthinking.

Fortunately, she is not without friends now.

She, Goto Ichiri, is a woman with four friends!

And they're all people you can talk to!

I'm no longer the socially awkward person who can't even make eye contact when talking to others!

perhaps......

Looking backstage at the band girls, whose style was clearly different from her own—wearing unfashionable sportswear and having a social anxiety—she felt a stark contrast to them.

Goto Ichiri still felt a slight unease in her heart.

Just as Goto Ichiri was lost in thought.

Ichi Nijika, who seemed to have no idea where she was going, walked over with a blue-haired girl.

"Ichiri, this is our band's bassist, Ryo Yamada."

"Ryo, this is the guitarist who miraculously appeared in the park, Goto Ichiri."

Ichi Nijika looked as if she were showing off a rare wild Pokémon she had just caught to her friends.

His words carried a hint of inexplicable pride.

'So fast! '

'Are you already calling me by my first name?!'

Feeling a slight shock, Goto Ichiri mustered up the courage to greet Yamada Ryo.

"Hello, my name is Goto Ichiri, and I am a... guitarist."

When talking about her identity, Goto Ichiri paused for a few seconds.

This was the first time in her life that she had referred to herself as a guitarist in front of people other than her family.

She usually refers to herself as a 'guitar player'.

Just like people who study fine arts never call themselves 'artists', they only call themselves painters.

Most self-proclaimed artists are, well, hard to describe.

I feel a little ashamed.

Goto Ichiri's small hands clenched the hem of her clothes restlessly, and she felt extremely ashamed.

But besides shame, there was also a great deal of excitement.

Speak out!

I finally took the initiative to give a complete self-introduction to others!

Well done, Yili! That's a great start!

Goto Ichiri was overjoyed.

However.....

'stare--'

Yamada Ryo stared at Goto Ichiri with an expressionless face, and that icy gaze made Goto Ichiri feel uneasy.

Feeling the pressure, Goto Ichiri acted impulsively and did something that can be considered a dark chapter in his life.

"terribly sorry!"

"No need to apologize!"

After a period of noise, the three of them had a basic understanding of each other.

According to Yamada Ryo, the store manager was very unhappy with Ijichi Nijika's decision to run away on her own.

They were also reminded to practice well before going on stage to perform.

After all, he was a guitarist hired temporarily, so their chemistry was definitely not as good as the previous one.

When performing on stage, don't expect perfect coordination. Just avoid singing off-key and playfully undermine each other, and that would be a great result.

In fact, the store manager didn't have high expectations for these people.

Putting aside the fact that she doesn't lack bands that want to perform here.

Ichi Seika had some understanding of her younger sister's skill level.

It's not bad, but it's not amazing either.

However, as the older sister, she still supports her younger sister.

"Speaking of which, we've had a strange guest around here lately."

While chatting and adjusting the drum kit, Ichiji Nijika suddenly spoke up as if she had just thought of something.

The drumsticks in his hand unconsciously rested against his chin.

"Ah, you mean that person?"

Yamada Ryo, who was holding a bass guitar, also stopped what he was doing and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

"The store manager seems to be quite troubled as well."

"Yes, my sister told me that because of the incident involving that idol named Hikaru Kamiki, she was actually quite worried about the safety of other bands."

"That's true, after all, they're all girls."

'Huh? What's going on?'

'This atmosphere where I'm the only one excluded?'

Looking at Ichika Ichiji and Ryo Yamada, a bead of sweat quietly rolled down Goto Ichiri's forehead.

This will almost certainly happen when a small group has more than three people.

There is a certain thing that only one person doesn't know.

Everyone was having a great time, but the last person could only force a smile and try to blend in.

I sometimes feel isolated for no reason.

"Ah, sorry, I forgot about you."

Noticing that Goto Ichiri's expression was a little strange, Ichichi Nijika quickly explained:

"Actually, a strange customer started coming to the store some time ago."

"Even though the weather is getting warmer, he always wears a yellow robe."

"After arriving, he did nothing else but stare at the performing group without moving. Although he couldn't see their faces, the group being stared at said they could feel the other's gaze."

"This has led many people to consider whether or not to come and perform."

"Ichi Nijika said with some distress."

The shop is owned by her sister, so she's naturally worried about how her business is affected.

However, strictly speaking, the other party did not do anything outrageous.

Therefore, Ijichi Hoshika was also very distressed.

'Strange guest...'

Upon hearing this, Goto Ichiri fell silent.

In those few seconds, she imagined a plot that could be tens of thousands of words long.

Well, they're all the kind of things that are hard to describe.

Chapter 1197 Normally, those who engage in cyberbullying are people who are unhappy with their lives.

"As expected, it's completely unacceptable."

Listening to the comments around me.

It was clearly the first time someone had approached her, and it was clearly the first time she was preparing for a performance.

But why did it turn out this way?

Goto Ichiri fell into deep thought.

"Yili played very well, but it felt like there wasn't much coordination."

Ichi Nijika tried her best to gently remind the pale-faced girl in front of her, who was already in a petrified state.

If you put yourself in her shoes, even she would be very sad.

Ultimately, it was she who took it upon herself to bring the other person over.

It's really too much to ask people to cooperate all of a sudden.

"Um, if you're really bothered by this..."

Ichi Nijika seemed a little lacking in confidence.

Given the current situation, it's already quite good that the other party didn't run away like the previous guitarist.

We can't ask for too much.

'I guess I'll just have to run away.'

At this moment, Goto Ichiri just wanted to find a place to crawl into.

Cardboard boxes or trash cans are all fine.

Rather, you should make sure she stays in the trash can.

I feel like that place is more suitable for someone like me.

"It's fine."

Although at this moment I wish I could find a trash can to go into and contemplate life, Goto Ichiri still raised her head and said softly.

Even this simple action required a great deal of effort from her.

But as soon as he said it, Goto Ichiri regretted it.

If you feel troubled?

This is bad. Could this be a subtle way of asking them to leave?

That's terrible. Because I haven't interacted with people for years, I'm completely clueless about the little conversational techniques between girls.

I've heard people say before that communication between girls needs to be very formal and follow fixed routines and scripts.

But I don't understand any of these things at all.

I don't usually feel this way when I chat with Takina and the others.

Because Takina and the others are all very straightforward girls.

If it really was about seeing guests off, should I have just left?

Oh no, is she going to look at me like I'm some kind of weirdo?

I didn't want to either!

I simply don't know anything about this.

I think I should just leave.

But wouldn't that be very impolite?

But if you don't leave, won't the other party think you're a weirdo?

For a moment, Goto Ichiri broke out in a cold sweat.
