The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

“Pfft… Ahem, uh… Why are you suddenly interested in [this]? Have you been reading comics lately?”

Pingxin's butt was half out of the seat, and if necessary, he could take off directly, and his running speed was no less than that of Pei Gong in the past.

"Eh, a comic?... No, it's just that this mascot called [Kyuubi] looks so cute, and I saw a lot of people clicked on it. Isn't it curious about it, senpai?"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes sparkled, and you also said, "I'm easy to ride!"

"But you mentioned comics just now... Is this a character from some comic? The name of the set seems to be a cute magical girl. I'll go look it up later~"

"Pfft... ahem... well, you better not. But if you do want to watch it, make sure you avoid reading online reviews and spoilers, otherwise the impact of the plot will be much less."

If someone is familiar with him, they would probably notice the word "impact" and then decisively clear the mines and run away, right?

But unfortunately, Kita is still too young and too naive. To put it simply, she is too gullible!

"Hey, does Senior know a lot about this as well?"

Kita's smile was so pure, like warm sunshine, that it caused a double wound to Hiraishin's conscience. After all, he was a vampire...

"No one knows Magical Girl Tsuna better than me! ...Sorry, I just said that."

Ping Xin imitated his blond friend and started playing the accordion again, but when he noticed the people around him staring at him, he quietly changed the subject.

It was a huge mistake to write in the comic that "the murderer likes to return to the crime scene to observe his work." I can't even pretend to be happy here.

"But if you're going to order, you'll have to eat quickly. We'll have to leave after the peak period."

After being reminded by Ping Xin, Kita thought for a moment, then immediately gave up thinking——

"Speaking of which, why did you choose to come to Yuze Cafe during the noon rush hour?"

"Hmm... who knows~"

Ping Xin smiled again, but this wasn't a smile directed at the Wall-Opposite Person. It was his usual expression when he was playing tricks on people, commonly known as "that smile that's hard to understand but always makes you want a punch."

"Then let's eat the cake together after it's served, Senior! ...Ah, before that, I still have to take some photos and upload them to social media. After all, I just took over the responsibility of running the official account of the defunct band, so I have to work hard!"

"... Um, Kita-san, you ordered the cake, but why did you say 'Let's eat together'?"

I feel like we're not that close yet. How strange! Ping Xin thought.

"Hey, does Senior leave his friends hungry when he goes out with others?"

"...Then I'll order one too. Since we're sharing, I won't accept one-sided charity."

"Yes~!"

"...Well, let me tell you. Why don't you just stop reading this comic? Some of the plots in it have an immeasurable negative impact on teenagers—"

Even if it was Ping Xin, his conscience would still ache after being beaten by others' kindness. If he had known earlier, he would not have teased her just now. In the end, he still embarrassed himself.

If the original Puella Magi Madoka Magica was simply a depressing drama, then Hirayama's revised and lengthened version reduced the impact of the dark and cruel plot, but he also added a lot of bad things like love triangles, girl fights, dark philosophy and exploration of human nature.

He felt happy when he thought that some people might grow up reading this comic.

Oh no, guilt~

"Hey, is there a plot where brothers and sisters kill each other? It's okay, I saw it occasionally on TV morning shows when I was a kid."

No, this is not even on the same level...

But never mind, I'm also curious about your reaction after watching it~

......

...

..

"Ah, Ping Xin, when did you get here? And... who is this?"

Tuzu, who had come here on time to call for help from the cafe, left. The moment Mizukuri saw him, her eyes widened slightly and her voice became a little higher. Then, the moment she saw the strange beautiful girl, she instantly regained her composure.

Well, as deep as the ocean... but also as calm as if it were ready to kill you at any moment. In a sense, it was also calm.

Although it was quite amusing to see Lan's fury, for the sake of his own shin bones, he should resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible.

"Ahem... Let me introduce you, this is Kita from the band... Anyway, Kita-san. Today I want to take her to learn how to become a qualified guitarist and vocalist from you. Is that okay?"

“Hmph…”

After she almost finished a combo with just one syllable, Mitakelan looked at Kita Ikuyo with a smile. It was obvious that the implicit recognition in someone's words made her feel very comfortable, even nine out of ten.

"Hello, I'm Mizukari... Afterglow's guitarist and vocalist. Thanks for your guidance."

"Hey, isn't Afterglow just...?"

Surprised, Kita turned around and saw his playful little eyes. It was obvious that he had remembered that he was considered bragging before and was trying to get it back now.

"Hello! I saw your performance on TV, it was amazing... Just call me Kita!"

Kita Ikuyo enthusiastically shook Ran's hand, but that only served to annoy her. After all, she was a (pretending to be) aloof, tsundere, rebellious girl, so a direct attack would do double the damage to her...

"...Um?"

Ping Xin discovered a blind spot——

Come to think of it...did Kita never tell her full name?

......I think there must be something fishy about this matter!

Chapter 4000: Kita Ikuyo's Diary of Observation on Stage ()

“Welcome to Livehouse CiRCLE!”

“Ohhhhh…!”

Kita clapped his hands frankly and made sounds of surprise. Such applause made Ping feel a little inappropriate. Perhaps there are some people in this world who feel unhappy if they are not scolded for a day.

"Ahem... Come to think of it, Kita, you haven't been to many livehouses, right?"

"Yes!... Before, I had always been following in the footsteps of Liang-senpai, basically at STARRY's performances and the roadshow in Shimokitazawa."

"Although STARRY is the band's base camp, as you develop, you will definitely need to perform in more places. So it's good to travel around more often. You can adapt to the environment, learn other people's performance techniques, and find inspiration."

"Okay~!"

Wow, this kid is too obedient and too dazzling, which makes people feel uncomfortable...

At this time, Ping Xin recalled his teaching career, the rebellious red highlights that were extremely persistent in breaking his shin bone even after building a good relationship with Afterglow's guitar and vocalist Mitakeran.

Wandering around various livehouses, making a name for herself on her own, she was once a singing maniac, a solitary singer, cold on the outside but warm on the inside, but actually she loves cats very much.

Livehouse SPACE, the birthplace of girl bands in Tokyo, is her home. The super free cat is also wandering around today, looking for opportunities to eat and drink. The boss's granddaughter is Kaname Rakuna.

A girl who pursues the inspiration of stars. She has a mysterious hairstyle that makes people wonder whether it is a dumpling head, a cat head, but most likely a star head. She not only practices piano at the speed of light but also quickly gathers band members, and has won over many good players such as the tsundere Arisaki, the good sister Saaya, and the electric wave weirdo Tae. She is suspected to be the owner of the hypnosis app, Kasumi Togawa.

Then there's this Kita xx classmate in front of me. From her obsession with the weirdo Ryo, I know she's no ordinary person. She's known as the super-yang-yang who ended up on the same level as Goto Ichiri, and even though she has a grudge against me, she's still a cheerful and cheerful kid.

Still a weirdo though, well...

"...When I think about it, everyone seems to be a bit weird. And even if they don't seem weird at first, they always become weird in the end. Why is that?——"

Pingxin looked up at the sky outside, trying to escape reality.

Today's sky is very blue, but there are not many clouds. It's really nice weather...

"Pingxin, what are you staring at? Come in."

"Here it comes~!"

How can the worries in the distance be as important as the shin bones in front of you?

Prison sister, we elbow!

......

...

..

"...As a guitarist and vocalist, it might be a little difficult at first, but as I said, just find the way that suits you."

"Yes, as expected of Senior Lan, you have many powerful skills!"

"Seniors... I'm not that great. I just learned all this bit by bit."

Good, this is the usual tsundere scene. Ping Xin has already started yawning——

"By the way, Kita. Mizukuri is a freshman just like you, so you don't have to be so respectful."

"Eh? But she's been on TV before, so Mizuki-san is actually the same age as me!?"

Xiduo became even more excited and thrilled. After all, being with powerful people always makes people feel that they are powerful too, right?

We two are so strong.jpg

I thought I could surprise her, but Kita is a sociable person and didn't seem embarrassed at all, which made Pingxin feel a little embarrassed.

"Then you guys continue chatting, I'll touch you for a while."

"Touch it for a while?"

Hearing this for the first time, Kita looked at him in confusion, then under Hirashin's gaze, he covered his steel plate and shrank behind Mitakeran.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in ribs...hahaha——"

"Don't bully children, you bastard!"

Mizukuran's kick was late but it arrived, but Heishin, who had finally succeeded in teasing her, smiled without caring at all.

"But Lan was obviously stunned for a moment when his arm was hugged just now, right?"

"..."

"Mitake-san!?"

Mizukari's silence was undoubtedly a loud mockery like thunder from the blue sky. Kita Ikuyo's mood was -1

"Hahahaha... I can't take it anymore. Ultimately, it's because you're too thin. You're taller than Hongxia, yet you weigh so much less. Even Liang, who eats grass, weighs more than you. It's hard to imagine what you usually eat. Do you really eat fruit and drink dew like fairies?"

"I, I just can't gain weight!"

Still being stubborn, still being stubborn!

"Who was it that couldn't even finish a QB and asked me for help?"

"That's because Senior ordered too much, so I-"

Kita Ikuyo wanted to continue to be stubborn but was stopped by Mitakeran. Only then did she realize that the other four members of Afterglow were looking at this side with interest. Among them, Aoba Moka even smiled and greeted them after being discovered.

"Don't be fooled by this guy, Kita... If Hiraishin wants you to do something, he usually doesn't say it directly, but instead forces you to change like this—"

Mizukari's words were so certain that it was obvious that she had been deceived many times. After all, among the five childhood friends of Afterglow, she had the most stubborn temper.

"After all, Ping Xin is a tsundere~"

“Mocha…!”

"Oh do oh do, little Mocha (I) didn't say anything~"

Ping Xin continued to listen to the song without any concern, even shaking his legs. Today, he would have to fight against the gazes of six people on his own—

"...Ahem, shouldn't you guys be getting ready to go on stage?"

confrontation?

Sorry, I prefer to outsmart others.

Never mind the gazes of the other five people, after all, he had been looked at like that many times when he had teased them before, but he really couldn't stand the way Kita looked at him, wanting to say something but stopping himself, wanting to take a photo and upload it to share with others but considering the situation.

"It's almost time to enter... Well, Kita-san, do your best too—finish the band, right? I'll be waiting for you guys up front."

After successfully playing a trick on Ping Xin, Mei Zhulan ran away first to avoid being beaten back. After all, there was more than one tsundere in this room.

"Wait for us?"

"It's the Summer Music Festival~ When Kita-chan saw us last year, it's almost here this year~"

With a relaxed and natural smile, Aoba Moka ran away. After all, if someone was to be liquidated, she would definitely be the first to bear the brunt. Didn't she see that the boss (Lan) had run away?

"Summer Festival... Ehhhhhhhh!?"

I am a newbie who has just started practicing guitar. How can I join such a grand festival?

"I'll support you, keep going!"
