My love game with them that will lead to certain death

"For now, I want to continue staying here. After all, I am actually quite interested in playing music with you guys. It's just out of simple love and hobby. But if it gradually turns into a formal group performance, I don't have the confidence that I can stay here forever."

That's it.

Goto Ichiri gradually understood what kind of person the boy in front of him was.

I will do something just because I like it, but I am not the type of person who will push myself to surpass others and achieve perfection in the field I like.

Just like liking a book does not require you to memorize every page, and loving a movie requires you to think about "I must learn something from it", learning something does not require you to set a limit on yourself: "If I can't do this, then I don't like it enough" -

I just do it because I like it. I am a very spontaneous guy.

And Pochi didn't hate that.

"But I really want to play with you guys, because it's a pleasure to perform on the same stage with Pochi."

When the boy said these words from the bottom of his heart very sincerely, Pochi was slightly stunned.

From the depths of my very distant memory, the promise I once made with "that person" to perform together in the future emerged.

Chapter 81 End of the Band's Extra Members

Ms. Yamada Ryo has been feeling a little unhappy lately.

Although her mind told her that nothing major had happened that would cause her to have emotional fluctuations, she just felt inexplicably unhappy.

Especially when she was being pestered by Kita and asked all kinds of questions, she happened to see Xiao Hai and Pochi sitting in the corner chatting quietly - she didn't hate Kita's enthusiasm for her, but it would be better if everything could remain the same on this basis.

"In that case, how about you try to become a "non-staff member" of the band?"

Even though he had pricked up his ears and started to pay attention to what Pochi and Ming Hai were talking about, Yamada's expression remained calm and cold.

It sounded like they were discussing something, and Pochi-chan was giving Ming Hai some advice, which was very rare.

“We are not fixed members and we don’t necessarily have to perform every time… but we can still compose music together…!”

"Oh - good idea!"

The two seemed to have started discussing whether Ming Hai should stay or go because of Kita Ikuyo's arrival - after a while they must have come up with a final solution, and left the corner of the lounge and walked towards the direction of Hong Xia and the other two.

"Everyone - there is something I want to discuss with you."

Narumi walked in front, leading Pochi, who was walking at the end subconsciously, to the front of the other three. Ms. Kita, whose attention had been on Yamada, was the first to sit up straight, and her eyes towards Narumi were mixed with sincere humility - after she returned to the band, she also knew that the boy in front of her had been the lead singer of the guitar while she was away, so naturally she had to correct her attitude.

"Although Pochi-chan has already given me some advice, this kind of thing still needs to be explained clearly to everyone."

When her name was called, Pochi-chan touched the back of her head a little embarrassedly. Facing this scene, Hongxia and Liang had different expressions.

"It would be best if Kita-san could come back and play the guitar and lead vocals. After all, I'm just a half-assed performer who performs with you guys out of interest, and I'm an unstable factor. But, I really like performing on stage with you guys... So in the end, with the help of Pochi-chan, I came up with a solution."

The curly-haired boy raised his index finger under the gazes of several girls.

"Let me be the extra keyboard player in your band!"

"Keyboard player... it's true that we have a drummer, guitarist, bassist and lead singer, but we don't have a keyboard player."

Hongxia pondered aloud, and Yamada beside her gave the answer without hesitation.

"That's because there's no need to use a keyboard player. After all, we are a rock band."

"Ah, I understand. For a rock band, a guitarist is a must. As for a keyboardist, whether this position is needed depends on the specific singing style."

The curly-haired boy waved his hand and explained Yamada's denial with a smile.

“That’s why I said, let me be your ‘extra keyboard player’. Although I won’t be a formal member, I can serve as a keyboard player who performs with you in certain situations. It’s just like a substitute player, it’s easy to understand, right?”

"Listen, that sounds good!"

Kita clapped her hands. For her, this way of solving the problem in an amicable manner was a win-win situation for everyone.

"But is there really a time when a keyboard player can be used? At least for now, the songs we perform don't really require a keyboard player."

Miss Yamada inadvertently poured a bucket of cold water on me again, although this might not have been her intention.

"So I say that in the final analysis, I am just an extra member. My presence is just to add icing on the cake for you all, and I am honored to have it - besides, my original intention was just to perform songs with like-minded people."

The curly-haired boy smiled and looked around. Several members of the band could see the sincerity in his eyes and were moved.

“It’s been really fun playing with everyone, and I want to continue that.”

“…Originally, even if you didn’t become a non-staff member, you could still perform with us, Narumi-kun.”

Hongxia also responded to the curly-haired boy with a gentle smile. She was undoubtedly the leader of this group.

"Okay, it's okay to not make it so sentimental - let's do something that allows the keyboard player to get involved!"

"Okay! I agree too!"

Kita also nodded to the boy with gratitude. Although she was a little bothered by the slightly close relationship between Ming Hai and Yamada, she was not the kind of person who would care about it.

"This is Pochi-chan's suggestion. I just said she has a sharp mind."

Ming Hai touched his nose and stepped aside to make way for the still somewhat shy pink-haired girl - and the enthusiasm of Hong Xia and Kita that followed made the latter a little overwhelmed.

"Well done, Pochi-chan! Give me more suggestions next time~ You're already great!"

"That's right! Goto-kun not only plays the guitar beautifully, but he also has a lot of ideas. Please teach me more in the future! Not just guitar instruction!"

"Hey, he ...

The Boqi marshmallow, which was praised by the two, became soft and almost flew into the sky.

In this way, the official members of the band and the only special non-staff member were determined.

Except for Ms. Kita Ikuyo, who doesn't know how to play the guitar at all and becomes the guitarist and lead singer, there are no other changes in the team. Unlike the others, Ming Hai, who has enough free time to form a band, becomes the extra-staff guitarist of the band because he enjoys performing with his friends. The store manager Ijichi Hoshika also affirms his sister Nijika's decision with the reason that "having one more keyboard player can make your music style more diverse, which is not bad."

After the band's personnel were decided, everyone was in high spirits and went home after the rehearsal, agreeing to meet again at Fanxing next time.

"Pochi-chan and Narumi-kun are getting along pretty well. I don't know when they started to become so close, but overall it's a good thing. After all, I was a little worried at the beginning that Pochi-chan would mind Narumi-kun, the only boy."

Hongxia, who stayed until the end, complained to her old friend Yamada, who was packing her belongings. Because her apartment was just above the Starry Night Performance Hall, she would always stay until the end without rushing - as for Yamada, he was just simply procrastinating.

"Fortunately, they came up with a good solution. Asking me to choose between Kita-san and Narumi-kun would be a bit cruel no matter how you look at it... Thank you for the message, Ryo."

"You're welcome."

The blue-haired girl shook her head briefly, and Hong Xia thought it was just a polite remark but did not anticipate her next words.

"After all, I haven't mentioned this to Xiao Hai yet, so it should be Pochi who conveyed it."

"Eh...I thought...?"

The smile on Miss Hongxia's face was a little stiff, and she smelled a subtle scent.

Chapter 1: Doing 2 or 3 is not as exciting as

As the saying goes, there is always a light bulb in a group of three - let alone a love triangle that is comparable to Bai Xue Shura Field, even a friendship between three people is too crowded, and someone has to withdraw in tears.

Of course, this is a truth that can only be understood by those who have had similar experiences. For someone like Yamada Ryo who has never been humiliated in interpersonal relationships, it is a bit too obscure to understand.

All she could feel was "unpleasantness".

It's good that Xiao Hai can get along well with the other members of the band, but it's not very pleasant to have secrets that even she doesn't know.

It was nice that he could talk to Pochi, who was shy and always overly polite, but it was not pleasant to have a too private conversation.

"What a strange feeling. Could it be that Xiao Hai has cast a spell on me?"

Yamada, who couldn't help being absent-minded even when performing, pouted her lips. She really didn't like herself becoming the kind of person who would not pay full attention during the performance - if she wanted to slack off, she had to consider the situation.

In order to take care of Ming Hai, the extra-curricular keyboard player, the band added some lyrical songs that can be played with the electronic keyboard in the daily performance repertoire. Yamada, who was originally skeptical that "it was a miracle that Xiao Hai, a pure tone-deaf, could play guitar and bass, could he also play the piano?", never said such a thing again after seeing the curly-haired boy's first performance.

That's right, Ming Hai's original skills were only bass and guitar, and he was just a novice in electronic keyboards and synthesizers - but ever since he started playing these instruments, his skills have become more sophisticated every day, and his rapid progress has made even Yamada, a chosen talent who can pass with high scores even at the last minute, look at him with a bit of awe.

"Is this still the Xiao Hai who picked up the guitar and played it as well as the erhu? When did he become so talented?"

Watching the curly-haired boy playing songs of increasing difficulty with ease, Yamada's mental journey was actually a bit complicated.

It was obvious that he had always been tone-deaf, so how come he suddenly became so proficient in playing various musical instruments?

Improving skills is a good thing, and it also gives you the opportunity to find common topics with the band members and integrate into the group smoothly. Overall, it is beneficial and harmless - but Ms. Yamada doesn't know why she minds this so much.

The most fundamental reason is probably that with the appearance of this extra-staff keyboard player, more and more female listeners came to the stage to sing for him.

"What? Is that new keyboard player from Fanxing very attractive?"

"I understand. When performing, there is a lot of tension but it doesn't steal the show. When singing harmony occasionally, the voice is also very attractive!"

"Hey, when I came here before, he wasn't the keyboard player, he was the lead singer of this band~"

"Oh my god, the curly-haired guy is my type!"

Although Ms. Yamada was indeed happy that her band could attract a diverse audience, for some reason she was a little irritated by this group of female listeners who were too purposeful and would rush to the front row to stare at the only male member of the band.

But this kind of thing is actually quite common. If there is a member in a band who looks good and performs very contagiously, it is inevitable that he will attract a large number of fans who do not pay much attention to the quality of the music but have a special liking for the members' faces - and this is not good news for Yamada.

Although she often has little fans who are attracted by her unique temperament (such as Ms. Guiqulaixi), it is really rare and strange for this to happen to Minghai.

"Although Xiao Hai is indeed not ugly and is the type that is easy to look at, it is a bit too much to make girls fall head over heels for him."

With this doubt in mind, Liang asked Hongxia about her personal impressions of the curly-haired boy.

"Mr. Narumi? Well, at first glance he doesn't seem to be a very handsome guy... But when he performs on stage, he does have an indescribable charm. It's normal that he can attract a group of fans who come specially for him. Why, you are still..."

"Ah, I found it."

Under Hongxia's mother's meaningful gaze, Liang said something surprising.

"Sure enough, music is the greatest medical beauty for men."

"........."

There must be a limit to being slow! !

Yidi Zhihongxia was speechless. She didn't know where to start to remind the guy in front of you - maybe you just simply can't stand other girls admiring your little Hai.

However, it would always feel weird if she revealed this fact. After thinking about it, Hong Xia decided to keep her mouth shut and wait and see. After all, forcing such a thing would only cause problems.

Just like that, Miss Yamada Ryo stood beside the curly-haired boy with complex emotions that she herself could not understand, watching his fan group grow day by day, watching more and more people come to Fanxing just to "see his beauty"——

I saw a golden figure appear in the audience.

"...?"

It was an ordinary after-school performance. Yamada, who was standing aside playing the bass, saw the curly-haired boy who was the keyboard player making eye contact with a blonde girl in the audience. He also noticed that the relaxed smile on his face had frozen.

That was the expression one gets when meeting someone they know, and no matter how thick-skinned Yamada was, he realized that.

After the performance, he made up an excuse to leave, probably to look for the blonde girl he had just met. Although Ming Hai returned to the lounge without changing his expression, Yamada understood that it was a sign of him returning empty-handed.

A rich girl you know? If it was just a distant relationship, then he wouldn't show that kind of expression.

After that, the blonde girl occasionally appeared, sometimes she was in the audience blending in with the crowd, and sometimes she was standing far away at the front desk watching the curly-haired boy performing on the stage. She probably thought she was hiding well - but not only Ming Hai, but even Yamada noticed her sneaky look.

Finally, after the performance one day, just when Yamada couldn't help but ask who that person was - the blonde girl rushed into the lounge of Fanxing beyond everyone's expectations.

"Eh? This is the backstage."

Even though Hongxia reminded her like this, the blonde girl still walked straight to the curly-haired boy who was placing the electronic piano with a red face, and then said something that no one present expected -

"I, I've been looking for you for a long time, brother!"

“………Eh?”

The expressions of everyone present became very interesting, even Yamada.

"Wait...what's going on here?"

She didn't remember missing a single episode.

Chapter 83 I'll Teach You How to Attack Myself

Ms. Yamada's intuition was not wrong - she did miss a few episodes, but this is normal, after all, this is only related to Toru Narumi and Eriri Sawamura.

Even though he was still a little scared when he escaped from the third simulation, Ming Hai did not let it disrupt his normal life rhythm and continued his stable daily life.

Apart from the unchanging school days, his part-time job in his spare time has gradually turned into a joyful time of immersing himself in the world of music with several girls from the band - he has almost quit his day-paid job as a receptionist at Fanxing, and now the only remaining arrangement is to work as a clerk in a bookstore.

He used the rest of the time to practice music and write novels - he did inherit very good entries from the third simulation, but his unique talent also required diligent practice and sufficient effort to maximize its use, and he would not neglect the skill point of writing.

The short stories published on the free forum have already earned him enough popularity for a newcomer, thanks to the secondary creation of teacher Eri Kashiwagi and the traffic from Guitar Hero. In the next period of time, Ming Hai plans to conceive a brand new light novel to participate in the library's newcomer award. If he can get a manuscript subsidy at that time, it will be able to completely cover the expenses incurred during this period of unemployed.

Of course, imagination is always beautiful, and the specific future development depends on whether we can achieve good results in the Newcomer Awards.
