The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"N-Nor do I really understand! It's just... I saw a lot of shojo manga at the office a while ago, and I flipped through them out of curiosity."

Explanation is concealment, and what is concealed is the truth, so there is only one truth -

...By the way, who put the girls' comics into the office?

Ah, it's me, that's alright...

After all, I didn't know what they liked to watch at the beginning, so I bought some movies with good reputations and put them in the office as decorations and entertainment props. Ping Xin, who was standing on the roof pretending to be a master, yawned with boredom.

"But if you believe it, you'll definitely think this is petty, right?"

"Ah, huh? That's true~"

"Will, will it be like this?"

The three of them looked at Enka, who was clearly distracted.

"...Sa, who knows?"

After all, I knew nothing about that person.

Chapter 80 Goto Ichiri can’t write!!!

"I can't think of anything—"

Goto Ichiri is like every creator who once made a solemn promise, but at some point he suddenly stepped into hell... the infinite hell called Kaven!!!

"I'm such an idiot~ Paramecium~!"

Whether it is a cartoonist, a light novel writer or a traditional writer, there is a long-standing tradition——

That’s right, that’s delaying the submission of manuscripts!

A great writer may have said: Inspiration is like the urge to defecate. It is often very strong when you feel it, but it disappears as soon as you are ready.

Just like the students in Yan country on the last day of the long vacation, maybe you are still thinking about "one night, one pen, one miracle", but miracles and magic are not free. When you can't complete it no matter what, the deadline will catch up with you.

From the initial fear to the final peace beyond death, giving up is difficult but also simple——

To put it simply, Goto Ichiri got right to work, and even stayed up all night the day before to edit the video for 5 hours.

He even designed eight signatures and finalized the draft. Jinye is quite like the King of Qin.

"Ah!... Speaking of which, I've been keeping notes about writing lyrics since junior high..."

Thank you, my past self. I will definitely complete the task!

......

...

..

"Five-inch nails, white clothes, scarecrow. Grab the golden hammer, everything is ready... spell?"

What are you doing? My past self!!!

No no no, no, no—

At this point, that’s the only trick I can use!

......

...

..

If you are a senior, you will definitely be able to help me——

"Oh, sorry, that won't work."

Ping Xin's voice came from the other end of the phone, rational and sober.

"...Eh?"

It's a lie, right?

......senior?

"Um, um... Is there something urgent? If so—"

"No, actually I don't have anything to do today. I just have some official business on hand."

Official business...what exactly is it?

There was no clacking of keyboards on the other end of the line, nor the bustling noise of people in the office on a weekday, nor the sound of hurried footsteps. There was only the noise and the sound of wind that only occurred when the signal connection was not good.

A very, very loud wind.

"Well, um...I won't bother you for now."

Doesn't she want to say it?

No, I just can't say it.

At this moment, the two chuckles coming from the other end of the phone were particularly clear, at least in Goto Ichiri's ears.

"There's no need to be so sad... Yili, listen carefully—"

I couldn't have helped you forever, and this is the song that ended the band. It's not my song, it's your song... Sometimes I wonder if I've been too indulgent towards you, and now it seems that may be the case.

The so-called song is actually the "cry of the soul"...so this is something that only Goto Ichiri can do, even I can't help. "

Seniors can’t do it, so it’s something only I can do?

How should I put it? Pochi subconsciously straightened his back, as if he had been told all along——

If a person cannot walk with his chest and head held high, how can he do anything upright?

Sometimes it’s because of habit, sometimes it’s because of physical and mental fatigue, and sometimes I just simply want to get a little contact and encouragement from him.

People grow up suddenly, often because of changes in environment, family changes, setbacks and hardships in life...

But they often have one thing in common, which is that they gradually understand that people are people after all, independent individuals, and when no one can help them, they can only rely on themselves.

Humans are the most numerous animals on Earth, the overlords of the blue planet, and the king of primates.

But they are also the loneliest species on Earth, unable to survive on their own, and the weakest individual.

But the miracle was that Goto Ichiri did not feel much lonely at this moment.

Perhaps it was a habit, a habit, a repetition of the past, but what really made me feel the most was peace of mind... It turned out that I had not been abandoned -

"Besides, you're not alone now. Your family and I aren't the only ones you can rely on...right, Pochi?"

Nicknames are often given by close people. It may be due to distance or relationship, but there is no doubt that they all contain some kind of spiritual and emotional sustenance, just like the name "End Band" -

Although it was just a boring joke, at this moment, it had become Goto Ichiri's second home. Since she had a home, it certainly had family members she could rely on.

"......yes!"

"Hmm... You can ask Ryo for advice on the lyrics. I just checked it out on Zi-OⅡ and it seems to be okay... Well, don't forget to bring your wallet before you go out. That's all~"

"Hey, what does the wallet mean...it's hanging."

Goto Ichiri lay on the tatami, counting the stains on the ceiling. After a while, she raised her phone, opened the address book, and looked at the number of names on it, which now exceeded three.

Senior Liang, would you be willing to help me?

...If there were no seniors, would she be willing?

With an uneasy heart, Goto Ichiri made the call.

"Um, um... is that Ryo-senpai?"

"Um... please, are you free now?!"

......

...

..

"...Is this all right?"

"Ahhh...um...I...I actually don't like the lyrics of support songs that constantly praise reality."

So you didn't ask me out to talk about signing autographs...

Liang silently turned the page and started reading again——

"...Pochi, are you satisfied with the lyrics?"

"Eh, well, I think it would be better if the style is similar to that of a popular band..."

But as expected——

"Actually... I don't really like lyrics like this either."

If it's family, then saying this can be forgiven, right...?

It's so strange that I wrote the lyrics myself, showed them to others, and then even I wasn't satisfied with them...

Yamada Ryo brushed her hair back. Only her calm and focused look at this moment lived up to her impression of a cool and cold Takarazuka-style beauty.

"Did I mention this before...about the previous band?"

"N-No...but I think I mentioned it before...someone who is related to my senior?"

The sudden turn of her head allowed Goto Ichiri to see through her eyes, but this time she did not try to avoid him.

"...You know it very well."

“No, no—”

"Something about him."

"!"

Is this a house cleaning?!

Yamada Ryo looked out the window.

There aren't many people, but they always come in groups of two or three.

The same yet different people come together to become friends, couples, families, governments, countries... and bands.

"Actually, the band I left before had little to do with Ping Xin... but it did have some connection."

No, so does it matter or not?!

Goto Ichiri had a feeling that this story might not be very long, but it would definitely affect her life——

“To abandon your individuality is the same as death.”

Talking about this at the beginning is too serious!

Chapter 81: Kita Ikuyo's Student Diary Preview

"Wow~senpai, you're so cute!"

"...You sound like you're calling me cute, which feels weird."

"How, how is this possible!?"

"Being denied so directly always makes me feel more hurt, ah~~~~"

Realizing that Hira Nobu was just teasing her, Kita Ikuyo simply smiled and began taking pictures enthusiastically.

Under his suggestion, Yuze Café now changes its theme every month. This not only boosts its popularity and helps them attract more customers, but also promotes Hengxin’s new products. It’s his favorite win-win situation!

The theme of this month is mascots. It is said that the popular ones in previous lives such as [Brother, You Smell Good], [Classic Pink and Black Little Devil], and [Hello Kitty] are surprisingly popular.

The best-selling items are the cake [Want to Become a Magical Girl?], which has a jam-filled filling when cut open, and the pancake set [Chubby Black and White Bear], which can be cut into thirteen pieces and enjoyed slowly.

Who says black and red are not red?!

However, for things like razor blades, threatening letters, and cursed objects left by comic and game fans, I'll just pretend I didn't see them and secretly ask someone else to dispose of them properly...

When I came here with Hina before, she was so happy that there was a Yuu Kuma collaboration set meal and merchandise here. Her smile was really nice back then...

"Senior, look at this, it's so cute, let's order this!"

Kita Ikuyo is obviously very excited today. After all, unlike Goto Ichiri, she is a super yang character...
