The Stand in the Everyday World

After resting in the coffee shop for a while, Fujii Shunsuke initially thought about asking Koga Tomoe to go watch Goto Ichiri's performance together, so that the two of them could get to know each other naturally and maybe become friends. But when he thought that today was Kitagawa Umi's turn, he finally gave up the idea.

“That seems to be it.”

Following the instructions on the mobile phone map, Shunsuke Fujii brought Umi Kitagawa to the destination, which was a small shop located underground, and the above-ground part of the shop looked like a family's residence.

"Are Goto and Kita performing here?" Kitagawa Umi asked blankly, "This is a little different from what I thought. Is this what underground idols and underground bands are like?"

"Otherwise they wouldn't have called the underground. As for the specific situation, we can go down and take a look to find out."

Walking down the stairs, Shunsuke Fujii ignored the "CLOSED" sign on the wall and gently pushed open the door.

"Senior, isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to go in like this?" Kitagawa Umi said in a low voice while hiding behind.

"It's okay, it's okay. I already told Goto-san yesterday that I would come to see her performance today, so the manager must have known about it."

Shunsuke Fujii waved his hand and walked in with Umi Kitagawa.

Unlike the shabby appearance from the outside, once you walk into the store, you can tell that the owner is quite thoughtful. Although the store is not big, it is well decorated.

"I'm sorry, my two guests. The store is not open yet at this time. If you want to come, please wait until after five o'clock."

Hearing the sound of the wind chimes on the door, a very gentle older sister with long black hair, hands tucked into her long-sleeved clothes, and a beauty mole on her chin came over and spoke softly.

"Hmm? Are you the store manager? I'm a classmate who made an appointment with Goto-san to come and watch his audition."

"Goto-san?" The older sister with black hair tilted her head. "Xingge, is there anyone named Goto here?"

"Goto-chan? Who is that...wait, isn't that Pochi-chan's name?!"

A woman with long golden hair and, most importantly, the same ahoge as Ijichi Hongka first scratched her ears impatiently, then suddenly stood up in shock.

"You must be kidding, Pochi-chan actually has a handsome friend like this in school?!"

"Oh, you brought your girlfriend... That's fine, it must be Kita's friend, you scared me, I thought there was going to be something fun to watch."

Seeing Kitagawa Umi hiding behind Fujii Shunsuke again, Ijichi Hoshika felt bored and sat down again.

She originally thought that she had made a mistake and would be able to enjoy a good show later, but she didn't expect that she was just getting too excited.

“Hee, hee, hee…”

Seeing that Ijichi Hoshika thought she was her senior's girlfriend, Kitagawa Umi smiled happily.

Fujii Shunsuke rubbed her head and said, "Excuse me, are you the store manager, Ijichi-san's sister?"

"Yeah, was it Nijixia or Kita who told you?"

Shunsuke Fujii looked at the same magnetic levitation hair on the store manager's head and smiled without saying anything. Is there any need for anyone to tell him such an obvious thing?

"But I am indeed Goto-san's friend and her senior at school. Umi is Goto-san's classmate. We made an appointment with Goto-san to watch her audition."

"Ah, I haven't heard Pochi-chan say that?" Ijichi Hoshige asked in confusion.

".......Um?"

390. Official announcement, Pochi-chan is dead

"Didn't Goto tell the manager?" Fujii Shunsuke asked again.

"No, and it's just an audition that may not even get a chance to perform officially, so what's so good about it?" Ijichi Hoshika took a sip of the strawberry milk that was usually only drunk by children on the table and continued, "A performance of this level is just polluting your own performance library if you watch it."

"Ms. Ijichi is really merciless to her own sister."

"I'm just telling the truth. Hongxia and the others are just playing house with their band. There's nothing interesting about such a performance. But since you're here...what should we call you, guests?"

"My name is Shunsuke Fujii and she is Umi Kitagawa."

"Well, then you can call me the store manager and call her the tuner."

Ichichi Xingge leaned lazily in his chair and pointed at himself and the girl with long black hair next to him.

——What is this?

There are a lot of complaints, and both Fujii Shunsuke and Kitagawa Umi were speechless for a moment.

"If you come to the store often, you can call me PA-san."

The black straight lady still had her fingers completely tucked into her sleeves - even more than the cute sleeves, she gently waved her sleeves to say hello, looking super cute. But......

——Isn’t this what the tuner meant?

However, considering that PA-san is very cute, Shunsuke Fujii decided not to say anything.

Including the carefree Ijichi Hoshika standing next to her. According to Fujii Shunsuke, both of them are already 29 and almost 30 years old. In terms of age, they are older beautiful girls of the same level as the marriage-phobic Xiaojing... Beautiful young women, but their temperaments are completely different. They give people a childish and cute feeling like a college student. Yes, they feel similar to Yukinoshita Haruno when she is acting cute.

——In a few years, won’t there be another adult like Mrs. Izumi?

I always feel that it would be hard for Ijichi Hongka to be a younger sister.

"Pochi-chan, come out, someone's looking for you!" Ichichi Hoshige shouted, "It's your classmate!"

Goto Ichiri, who was doing his final practice in the preparation room, was startled.

"Someone's looking for Pochi-chan? A classmate?" Ijichi Hongxia asked curiously, "Besides us, does Pochi-chan have any friends? How could she find a way to get here?"

"Kita, does Pochi-chan know anyone in the class?"

"Ijichi Senbei, these words are too spicy. Pochi-chan has turned into a slug again."

Kita Ikuyo pulled Goto Ichiri, who was curled up and about to lie on the ground.

"It's the handsome guy who treated us yesterday." Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up, "Pochi-chan, let him treat us today too. I don't want to eat grass anymore."

"Liang Senbei, if you need money, I can lend it to you!"

Kita Ikuyo immediately left Goto Ichiri behind and ran to Yamada Ryo to act coquettishly.

Yamada Ryo decisively refused: "No, I have to pay back the money I borrowed from you, but I don't have to pay for the handsome guy's treat."

"Well, no matter who it is, let's go out and take a look."

Ijichi Kouka picked up Pochi-chan and left the preparation room.

................

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I didn't dare tell the store manager, and in the end I forgot about it!"

Goto Ichiri, who was called out, bowed madly to Ijichi Hoshika, sweating profusely.

"Alas, I'm not supposed to be receiving guests at this time, but forget it. After all, she's your friend, Pochi-chan."

Ijichi Hoshika scratched her hair in annoyance, but finally agreed to Goto Ichiri's request.

"To-Tomodaji?!"

Goto Ichiri was shocked.

"Ah, isn't it? Then I'll chase them away."

"No, no, no, wait a minute, manager. I'm not saying that Fujii-senpai and Kitagawa-san aren't my friends... No! I'm saying that a mere water flea like me is not worthy of being friends with Fujii-senpai and Kitagawa-san, so that's why we're not friends!"

"Well, it sounds troublesome, so we're still not friends, right?" Ichichi Xingge continued to ask maliciously.

“No, no, we are…but…”

"Sister, please stop bullying Pochi-chan. She's going to perform on stage later!" Ijichi Hongxia quickly came over to protect Goto Ichiri, and at the same time turned her head to look at Fujii Shunsuke, "I'm sorry, Jun, Pochi-chan is just too shy. And who is this?"

——As expected of Yangjiao, is this a nickname?

Shunsuke Fujii introduced: "She is Kitagawa Umi, a classmate of Pochi-chan."

"Hello, Pochi-chan, and Kita-Kita."

Kitagawa Umi waved her hand and everyone naturally followed suit and called out "Pochi-chan".

Well, this person is also a Yangjiao.

"Happy, happy, happy, Kitagawa-sama!"

Goto Ichiri bowed 90 degrees, causing Ichichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo to look at him sideways.

——Pochi-chan, you won’t be bullied by this hot girl at school, right?

Archangel Shimokitazawa was very worried.

"Hahahaha, that's too exaggerated, Pochi-chan." Kitagawa Umi waved her hands repeatedly, "Aren't we classmates? You can call me Kitagawa or Umi, there's no need to be so reserved."

"But, but, isn't this too much of an overreach? Mr. Kitagawa, you are the top student in the class!"

"Well, isn't Kita the same? So, Pochi-chan, just treat me the same way you treat Kita."

"Hey, Kitagawa-san, are you dating Fujii Senbei?"

Kita Ikuyo showed a gossipy expression.

Goto Ichiri's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes......"

Kitagawa Umi was about to respond happily, but suddenly remembered that Fujii-senpai had not yet successfully conquered Koga-san and Isshiki-san, so she turned her head to look at Fujii Shunsuke.

If I tell Kita, who made a lot of friends in first grade, wouldn’t that be an official announcement?

In this case, wouldn't the progress of the seniors' strategy be hindered?

"?"

Shunsuke Fujii didn't know why Kitagawa Umi turned around to look at him.

Kitagawa Umi blinked hard, hinting at Fujii Shunsuke madly.

Fujii Shunsuke didn't understand why, but considering Kita Ikuyo's problem...

"right."

"senior!"

Kitagawa Umi showed a smile that was both happy and touching.

Pochi-chan is dead.

"Pochi-chan, what's wrong with you? Don't die!"

Everyone rushed to help, and the situation became chaotic.

"Youth."

PA-san stood aside and smiled with his hands covering his mouth.

"Pochi-chan is also a young girl, I hope she doesn't get fooled."

Ijichi Hoshika took a sip of strawberry milk. As a rock singer, she knew that she shouldn't judge people by their appearance. Although Kitagawa Umi was dressed like a hot girl, judging from her current performance, she was just dressed like that. But when she thought of Pochi-chan's personality, she couldn't help but worry.

391. Goto Ichiri values ​​love over friendship

After some confusion, Goto Ichiri and the other three were finally ready to start the audition.

"Oh oh oh oh, this must be the legendary special performance, a special show just for a few of us. I'm so looking forward to it!" Kitagawa Umi was very excited.

"I hope their recent efforts will not disappoint you." Ijichi Hoshige grinned as he thought of the disastrous performance last time. "By the way, our store is licensed as a beverage store. When Pochi-chan and the others finish their performance, you two must pay 500 yen for each drink. That's the rule."

"As for the ticket fees for the performance, we won't charge them this time, but they must be paid for the actual performance... Well, the premise is that they can pass the audition."

"Hehe, that's what you said, but haven't you made up your mind, store manager, that you will let Hongxia go on stage no matter how she performs?"

"If you say that again, I'll deduct your salary."

Ichichi Hoshige glared at PA-san fiercely.

——So he’s a tsundere sister-con.

Shunsuke Fujii discovered another cute point about Ijichi Hoshika.
