Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

"Like this?" Akie tried to strike a pose.

"So ugly!" Kita complained mercilessly, "Hands should be placed... Never mind, let me help!"

Kita stepped forward and took the initiative to adjust Akie's posture as if he were a mannequin.

"Hmm...Okay! Just stay still!"

Kita retreated continuously and took out his mobile phone to take pictures of Akie from different angles.

"Good! This is a good effect!" She smiled and signaled Qiu Hui to move, "Unfortunately, it would be more interesting if her eyes were a little more confused..."

"…What do you mean by 'confused eyes'?"

Akie, wearing glasses, approached Kita and planned to review the photos she had just taken.

Goto Ichiri, who was standing by, also approached quietly without saying a word.

Chapter 91: "Relaxed" and "Happy"

"...You can hardly tell it's me." Akie complained.

After changing her outfit and having her posture forcibly adjusted by Kita, Akiie looked completely different from her usual self.

"This gives it a kind of androgynous coolness," Kita commented, "If even Akie herself can't recognize it, then it means it's quite successful, right?"

"If you look carefully, you should be able to recognize who it is," Akie commented, "But to be honest, this way, even if you are recognized, you will have room to deny it. For me, that's enough."

Goto Ichiri, who was standing by, was also very surprised by Akie's new look.

"You suddenly become like Liang-san!" she said in surprise.

"…When that guy isn't being funny, he's still kind of handsome," Akie admitted.

"That's not the case!" Kita retorted, "Senpai is still handsome even when he's being funny!"

Let's not consider the problem of Ryo for now. At least, the primary goal of this trip to Shibuya has been completed halfway.

"I'll buy some new clothes next." Akie said to herself, "I'll have to change everything from tops to shoes."

My character is... a stay-at-home girl who finds dressing up troublesome.

To be honest, it’s pretty much the same as my personality, so I just choose what I like.

As for the top... a black T-shirt with anime characters printed on it will do. It's simple and easy to understand.

As for bottoms and shoes...

...Qihui suddenly remembered the wandering guitarist she met in STARRY before.

"Pair shorts with short boots. Show off your legs as much as possible," Akie thought.

Thinking of this, she looked at Kita, intending to seek his opinion.

At this time, Kita was chatting with Ichiri.

"Ah, Xiaoyi, do you want the photo that Akie just took?" Kita asked, "Then I'll send it to you now..."

"Don't speak so loudly!" Ichiri felt his scalp tingling.

"What can't be said so loudly?" Qiu Hui walked forward and asked in confusion.

"Ah, nothing." Kita smiled, "What's the matter?"

"It's about clothes. This is what I think..."

……

We went to several more stores and finally bought a complete set of clothes that Qiu Hui needed.

As for the plan to choose clothes for Goto Ichiri, it was temporarily aborted due to my strong opposition.

After buying clothes, the three of them chose a cafe recommended by Kita and decided to have some tea and dessert here and take a short break before making other plans.

After chatting for a while, Akie stood up and said to Kita, "I need to go to the bathroom. Kita, can you come with me?"

"Hmm...Is it okay?" Kita replied, "I happen to want to go, too."

"Is this the legendary girls going to the bathroom together..." Goto Ichiri expressed a strange feeling, "I'm so envious..."

The two of them walked together in the direction of the restroom, out of sight of a mile.

However, Qiu Hui had no intention of going into the bathroom.

"What's the matter?" Kita asked.

She also seemed to understand that Akie didn't really intend to go to the bathroom.

"Thank you for what you did before." Akie said.

That's why she brought Kita along specially.

"Is it because of the bad atmosphere earlier?" Kita smiled and shook her head, "No need to thank me."

"No, I have to thank you after all. After all, Goto-san was..."

Because I failed to control my negative emotions, Goto-san was also hit...

"Akie, you and Koichi seem to have similar problems." Kita interrupted Akie, "That is, you take trivial matters too seriously!"

"...Are you serious about this?" Akie was a little surprised.

"I think the atmosphere became so bad because you two were both dwelling on that matter. So, I tried to change the topic to something else." Kita explained, "Some problems are like this! If you don't pay attention to it, it really doesn't exist."

"So that's how it is." Qiu Hui nodded.

Kita-san unexpectedly has such a cool way of thinking.

"I think Ichiri-chan has probably forgotten about it by now... that's why she's acting like nothing happened." Kita continued, "I think she's the type who will express her emotions directly..."

"...It's different from Akie."

Qiu Hui seemed to be able to sense that the red-haired girl in front of her was emitting a serious aura.

"It's the same with Qiu Hui. It's better not to take every little thing to heart." She smiled and looked at Qiu Hui. "I like to end the band because I feel that the atmosphere is very relaxed and happy when I am in it."

"I hope that Akie can also enjoy this relaxing and happy atmosphere."

Kita smiled playfully, turned around and walked towards his seat.

Qiu Hui stayed there for a while and sighed helplessly.

Unexpectedly, I felt like I was being lectured.

……

After that, we wandered around together for a while before reluctantly preparing to end today’s trip to Shibuya.

"How about we take a picture together before we leave?" Kita suggested, "Akie, how about we change our clothes first?"

"Well, I'll find a place to change my clothes."

Qiu Hui changed into her newly bought stage clothes in the dressing room of the store.

"How does it feel?" She changed her clothes and stood in front of the two men.

"It's pretty cool!" Kita nodded, "Especially the anime character's T-shirt, it really emphasizes his personality."

"…The second half sounds like a very emotionally intelligent way of comforting someone." Akie smiled bitterly.

"That's not what I meant." Kita shook her head. "Just like the sportswear that Xiaoyi wore, I think it's also part of the character's personality."

"Forget it, let's not worry about that for now. Where are we going to take the photo?"

"How about right in front of the Hachiko statue?" Kita suggested.

"That's right. After all, I planned to shoot there when I first arrived." Qiu Hui agreed, "Then let's go there?"

The three of them came to the statue of Hachiko and stood in a row with Kita at the center.

At this moment, Goto Ichiri suddenly realized something belatedly.

"Um, Qiu Hui, are you going to post this photo online?" she asked in a low voice.

"Send it to the top?"

Qiu Hui had no such plan at first, but she suddenly remembered the editor's previous instructions: to post something on the official account that could hint that she had started playing in a band.

So she nodded: "I do have this plan, after all, it's a photo with my teammates."

"Then, doesn't that mean..." Ichiri seemed to have triggered some kind of delusion, "The photo of me and Aki will be seen by more than 30,000 people at the same time on the Internet..."

"I guess there aren't that many living people." Akie shook her head, "But it's certain that some people will see it. Will Pochi feel embarrassed?"

“…It’s okay!” Ichiri mustered up his courage, “I, I don’t mean to stop Akie from sending it out!”

Kita clapped his hands, "Okay, if that's the case, I'll take the photos! Oh, and now can I mention Akie... No, the identity of 'Akirako'?"

“I think we should talk about that after our first performance,” Akie responded, “For now, just treat me as an ordinary person.”

"Okay, then everyone, please look at the camera! Three, two, one... Alright! What do you think?"

"Very good." Akie was quite satisfied with the finished photos taken by Kita.

After all, the mask covers my face, so it doesn’t matter if I don’t manage my expression at all… How convenient.

Chapter 92: Responsibility

Kita sent the photo that he was most satisfied with to Akie.

The latter simply took out his mobile phone and planned to send the photo directly.

She opened her work account and before posting a new tweet, she took a look at the previous tweet.

"...3,000 likes and 600 reposts?" She was a little surprised by the data. "It's much higher than the simple intelligence and event information before. There seem to be quite a few comments too."

She clicked on the comment section to see what was said there.

Most of the comments seem to be speculating about where the place in the photo is and discussing whether the tweet was actually sent by the person himself.

"It looks like a live house or something like that."

"Wow, so Akiho-sensei would go to such a live-action venue? My image of her as a character has collapsed (laughs)"

"I came out specifically. It should be the STARRY of Shimokitazawa."

"There's a sign on the picture, don't act like you're some big shot www"

"I don't understand, anyway, most of them are sent by the operator."

"The style is quite casual, maybe it's really him?"

"I don't care about anything else, when will the new work be published?"

"..."

Looking at the comments from netizens, Qiu Hui couldn't help laughing.

“Everyone is quite active,” she concluded.

"What? Let me see... Wow!" Kita exclaimed, "So many likes! And this photo, is it the entrance of STARRY?"

“Yeah.” Akie nodded, “Because I was asked to post some tweets that would hint at my intention to start playing in a band.”

"I see!" Kita was eager to try, "Well, Akiie, how about you follow me with this account? Then we can post the photos we just took together! Koichi also..."

She was about to turn around and ask Yili to post a photo as well, when she realized something was wrong: "No. Xiao Yili doesn't seem to have a social media account, right?"

"If I had something like that..." Goto Ichiri trembled, "things would definitely become very strange... I would probably pray for the changes in data every day... The monster that acknowledged my desires would awaken..."

"It can't be helped. We can't force things like this." Kita said with a smile, "Then Akie and I can post it together?"

"I have no objection." Qiu Hui replied while following Kita's account, "You understand joint hype."

After following, she began to edit a new tweet.

"I went to Shibuya with my friends."

What to write next? I don’t know.

I am a woman who is too lazy to care about these details. Qiu Hui recalled her own character setting and decided to just post it like this.

At the same time, Kita was also writing a tweet.

She seemed to have some requirements for the content of the tweet, and only successfully sent it out after deleting and revising it several times.
