The lady can hear my voice

Ijichi Hoshige then looked at Niijima Sora, and then she gave Takamatsu Deng a meaningful look, "Hmm... I think I made a mistake, sorry."

Upon hearing this, Gao Songdeng quickly shook his head, and his eyes became a little dimmer.

"Hmm?" Chihaya Aine also noticed Takamatsu Deng's unnaturalness. She was a little confused and wanted to eavesdrop on Niijima Sora's thoughts.

It’s just that Sora Niijima didn’t keep muttering to herself all the time, so naturally she didn’t get the answer.

"However, you guys came a little early. The live show doesn't start until 5:30... Well, how about this, you guys come and help me set up the venue, and then I'll waive the ticket price for tonight's live show, and you can have as many drinks as you want, how about that?"

"Sure, what exactly do you want us to do?" Chihaya Aine did not refuse. She came to this new environment and was quite curious about everything here.

Gao Songdeng also nodded. It was a good idea to work part-time to earn money for tickets.

"That's fine with me." All that could be said was that Sora Nijima was worthy of being Nijima's sister. In the anime, when Kita-chan came here to apologize, she naturally used Kita-chan as a part-time maid.

"Then, you two go over there and learn from her how to arrange the wiring. And you, there's a very heavy speaker in the warehouse. You're a boy, so please, is that okay with you?"

"No problem. Where is the warehouse?"

"Ah, I'll let Hongxia take you there."

"Hongxia!"

"What's wrong, sister?" Ijichi Hongxia stopped discussing with Pochi-chan and Liang and came to Xingge's side.

Xingge looked at her petite and cute sister and couldn't help but put her hands on her head and rubbed it.

"Sister!" Yidi Chi Hongxia slapped her hand away, somewhat annoyed.

"You take this...ah, sorry, what's your name?"

"Sora Niijima..."

"Take him to the warehouse and get a replacement speaker."

"Eh?"

Nijima's red eyes met Sora Niijima's brown-black eyes.

-

Hongxia definitely did not refuse, but when she was leading Niijima Sora, she obviously kept her distance.

"This is the warehouse...but no one has been in there for a while, so it might be a little dusty. Please be careful, Niijima-san." Although Hongxia was currently very wary of Niijima Sora, she still gave a friendly reminder.

Sora Niijima nodded, and after Hongxia opened the door with the key, he followed her in.

"Um...Niijima-san."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

At this time, Hongxia was leaning against the door and had not walked in completely. In fact, when Niijima Sora passed by her just now, her heart was beating particularly fast.

Mainly out of fear.

Because I heard Sora Niijima's inner voice and knew that he knew my and Ryo's names before I introduced myself.

It was this, coupled with the strange way Sora Niijima addressed her, that made her feel frightened.

After all, she didn't know how Sora Niijima knew this. If she didn't confirm this, what if Sora Niijima was a stalker or something like that?

That's why she is standing by the door now, ready to escape at any time, and she also has to confirm this matter with Sora Niijima.

How did you know their names?

"Niijima-san, do you...know me and Ryo? Have we met somewhere?"

Shinjima Sora was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at Hong Xia and did not notice that the other party was tightly holding the door handle. He was silent for a while and chose to tell the truth.

After all, now that I'm planning to intervene in the plot, there's no point in doing that anymore.

“Yes, I should say that I know you and Yamada-san… or should I say senior?”

"Forehead……"

"I've watched Yamada-senpai's performances before, and I often saw you and her walking together, so I got to know you two one-sidedly."

"..." Hong Xia felt relieved instantly when she heard these words.

The original wariness also dissipated a lot.

"So this is ah……"

It really scared me. Suddenly, a stranger called my name. It was really terrifying.

As Nijima Sora watched Nijima slowly walk towards him, he seemed to understand something, so he asked with a smile, "Have Yamada-senpai and Ijichi-senpai formed a new band now?"

"Well, the name is the Ending Band, but... the girl who was brought in to be the lead singer ran away for unknown reasons. I haven't seen her much recently, so I'm quite worried about her."

Upon hearing this, Sora Niijima thought to himself: [It's Kita-chan, it's okay, you'll be able to see her in a few days, after all, she's in our school. ]

"Eh? Niijima-san, do you also know Kita-chan?" Hongxia asked with some surprise.

But as soon as she asked the question, she and Sora Niijima were stunned.

Hong Xia quickly covered her mouth.

She forgot that what just now was Sora Niijima's inner voice, not what he actually said.

But Sora Niijima was a little slow to react.

Did he let the cat out of the bag again?

Strange……

In order to prevent Niijima Sora from thinking too much, Hongxia quickly interrupted with a smile: "Ahaha, let's put Kita-chan's matter aside for now. Niijima-san, let's find the speakers that we're going to replace later..."

“I remember putting it here…”

Ijichi Hongxia's petite body passed by Niijima Sora. She looked at several cardboard boxes carefully and was about to reach out to touch them.

There was a snap.

For some reason the light bulb in the warehouse suddenly burned out.

And coincidentally, the door of the warehouse also slammed shut.

Then, a white object jumped out of Hongxia's sight, like a blurry human face.

"!!!"

010 Live has started

Q: If it were you, and you were hugged by a lovely and beautiful girl like Ijichi Hongxia, what would you do?

A: Turn around, hug her, and gently say to her: "Don't be afraid, Hongxia, I'm here."

B: Do nothing and continue watching Hongxia drop the little pearls.

C: Calm Hongxia down and take her out of the warehouse.

The brave man chose A, the fun-loving man chose B, and the mediocre Sora Niijima chose C.

There is no way, Sora Niijima must be very kind to the beautiful girl he likes.

"Ijichi-san, don't be nervous. That thing in front is just a piece of clothing, not a ghost."

Hong Xia is afraid of ghosts and spirits, and he knows this. (For details, please see Hong Xia's famous scene of the spinning triangle potato chips in the eleventh episode of Lonely Rock)

"Hong, Hongdou? (Really?)" Hongxia still didn't dare to look up. She was really not good at this kind of thing. What's more, everything happened too suddenly and she was not mentally prepared at all.

This is not the same as entering a haunted house prepared.

She was really scared at this moment, and her legs became a little weak due to fear.

In order to stand steadily, she is now clinging tightly to Sora Niijima's body.

However, because she could hear Sora Niijima's inner voice, her fear and tension were alleviated.

You keep praising me for being cute...isn't that a bit too exaggerated, Niijima-san?

As for lamenting this all the time?

Hongxia couldn't quite understand Sora Niijima's train of thought.

Just as Niijima Sora was about to continue comforting Hong Xia, the door of the warehouse creaked open.

The light from outside shone into the warehouse. Ichichi Xingge looked at the two people huddled together inside and frowned, "What... are you doing?"

"elder sister!?"

-

"I see... I almost thought you did something terrible to my sister." Ijichi Hoshige handed the light bulb to Niijima Sora.

At this time, Sora Niijima was sitting on a ladder, wearing gloves and replacing the light bulbs in the warehouse.

Looking at his skillful movements, Yidizhi Xingge shouted towards the door.

"Hongxia!"

"Hey! Niijima-san, remember to let go!" Hongxia stepped on a small stool and turned on the switch.

The lights in the warehouse were then restored.

"Well, it turns out that there must be a man in the house. I usually have to use a pillow to touch the ceiling."

"Hongxia, I approve of your relationship, but be careful not to have a child in high school. I don't have the ability to help you raise one."

“……?” Niijima Sora was stunned.

Hong Xia's face turned red visibly, and she looked at Yiji Zhi Xingge in embarrassment, "Sister! What nonsense are you talking about!?"

Ijichi Hoshige observed Niijima Sora's reaction, but not seeing the fun she wanted, she sneered to herself.

"It seems you are innocent."

"Of course I'm innocent! No, nothing happened just now!" Hong Xia said with a blushing face.

"Okay, okay, I came here to tell you that you don't need to move that speaker. I just checked it and it's just a bad connection. That PA guy is an idiot and not professional at all."

"The live show is about to start, both of you should go back."

-

"I'm sorry, Niijima-san. My sister may seem serious, but she's actually very frivolous. Don't take her words to heart."

Niijima Sora looked at Hong Xia's embarrassed look and smiled slightly: "It's okay, I don't mind."

[Dating a cute girl like Hongxia is probably something I can only dream about, right? ]

Sora Niijima did not extend his imagination on this matter and soon his thoughts stopped.

After this little incident, Hongxia was no longer as wary of him as she was when they first met.

Although... I still feel uncomfortable hearing him praising me all the time.

However, Hongxia also began to accept Sora Niijima, at least no longer thinking that he was a dangerous person.

It's just that the title of "Mom" that pops up from time to time still makes her feel a little bothered.

When the two returned to Starry together, audiences who came to watch the band's performance also arrived one after another.

At this time, Chihaya Aine was standing at the beverage counter, skillfully greeting customers, handing them drinks, and smiling.

Deng was sitting on the side collecting and checking tickets.

As for Yamada Ryo, she was openly slacking off.

Seeing her doing nothing, Hong Xia walked up to her and scolded her, "Liang, don't forget that you have to work here too. How can you leave all the work to others?"

Although it was a scolding, Hongxia's tone towards Liang was still gentle.

Liang yawned, glanced at Sora Niijima, then looked down at Hongxia and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

"Ok?"

"You went to the warehouse with him alone, is everything okay?"

"..." Hongxia looked at Yamada Ryo in surprise, then smiled and said, "It's okay, Niijima-san is a very nice person."

"That's good. I also think he's not a bad person, so I didn't go to the warehouse with you." Yamada Ryo said complacently, "I have a good eye for people."

"Hey, hey, hey, I know you're awesome, so go help Gao Song collect the tickets, he's almost too busy to handle it."

"Ah..." Liang made a lazy sound, but was still dragged away ruthlessly by Hongxia.
