The goal of life is to break up all couples

"Isn't that a scam?"

Songzhi Zixu looked closely and asked, "The venue is spacious and the scenery is beautiful?"

Yamada Ryo touched his chin and said confidently, "There's a large area of ​​grass, with no buildings blocking the view. It's very open, with good lighting and a nice view. It's no problem."

“Affordable price?”

“If it’s free, isn’t it still friendly to the people?”

“A rich and varied food?”

"There are so many kinds of wild grasses. You can eat whatever you want. I usually mix them together and never get tired of them. Isn't that a great variety?"

"No negative reviews so far, all customers say it's good."

"I'm the only one here. I didn't give a bad review, but everyone who ate there said it was good."

“A niche buffet restaurant?”

"Just tell me whether it's self-help or not!"

It's hard, the fist is hard.

A vein popped out on Songzhi Zi's forehead. "So, you haven't told a single lie?"

Yamada Ryo nodded sincerely: "I never lie, I'm very honest and reliable... Ouch!"

After understanding what was going on, Hongxia punched Yamada Ryo on the head, "Ryo, you've been lying to me again while I was away! Return Matsueda-senpai's money to him!"

Yamada Ryo deliberately showed Hong Xia a pitiful tearful expression: "I just bought a new bass a few days ago, and I'm out of money..."

"fine."

Songzhi Zi crossed his arms and said, "Anyway, I know where you are now. You can't run away. You will have money someday."

Yamada Ryo felt guilty: "That's not necessarily true."

She changed the subject: "Come to think of it... Hongxia, was the guitarist you called in for emergency Matsueda? He usually hangs out in Ikebukuro, so how did you catch him in Shimokitazawa? Did you, Hongxia, go to Ikebukuro?"

"Ah, no..."

Hongxia waved her hand and pointed at Goto Ichiri, who was trying hard to hide himself. "That's him! The guitar expert who miraculously appeared in the park, the legendary guitar hero, Goto Ichiri."

"That's right, this is my most respected teacher, the top guitarist who can even reach the Budokan!"

Matsueda Azusa nodded and added, "It's because the teacher had to come for an emergency performance that I came to join in the fun. I didn't expect to catch a scumbag like you."

"I-I'm Goto Ichiri! I'm so sorry for being so arrogant!"

Goto Ichiri's features were all in a panic as he kept bowing and saying, "Smith Marseille!"

"Hongxia, am I scary?"

Yamada Ryo scratched his head.

Hong Xia complained, "It's because you leave others with the impression of being a swindler and a weirdo!"

After saying that, she turned around and comforted Goto Ichiri: "It's okay, Ichiri-chan, although Ryo is a weirdo, she's not scary. And she also likes weirdos, so you don't have to worry."

Goto Ichiri spat out the soul from his mouth - Hongxia unconsciously hinted that she was also a weirdo, which was really heartbreaking.

"Hey, speaking of which..."

Matsueda Azusa made the "eight" sign with his right hand, propped up his chin, and surveyed his surroundings. "Ryosenbei, I remember you used to be a bassist in a band? Are you here for a guest appearance today as well?"

"Do not."

Yamada Ryo shook his head: "I quit that band. Now I'm forming a band with Hong Xia."

"Clam?"

Matsueda Azusa tactically retreated: "You guys are also doing group bombing? Isn't that similar to us? Is this a must-do for band members?"

As he spoke, he looked around for a while. "So where are the other members of your band now? Besides the guitarist who ran away, there's you, Ryousenbei, the bassist—which position does Ijichi-san play?"

Hong Xia raised her hand and answered, "I'm the drummer. There's no one else for now. Besides the guitarist who ran away, it's just me and Liang."

"That's worse than us!"

Matsueda Azusa was shocked. He had thought that New Crychic was already in a bad enough situation, but he hadn't expected there to be another expert. "At least we still have three of us left! You guys can't even put together enough equipment to perform on stage."

26. Don’t give up!

"It really is."

Yamada Ryo sighed: "Perhaps this is the fate of the band."

Hong Xia nudged her gently: "Don't be so pessimistic! At least we found Guitar Hero to help us this time! Things will definitely get better in the future."

"Ah, come to think of it... the manager specifically told us to practice well before going on stage."

Yamada Ryo glanced at the clock on the wall next to him and suddenly remembered: "Besides, she seemed a little angry after knowing that you, Hongxia, left STARRY without permission. Now she's out shopping. It's better for us to rehearse early."

"Oh, no!"

Hong Xia quickly called out to Goto Ichiri: "Ichiri-chan, let's go to the practice room before the manager comes back!"

Goto Ichiri swallowed his saliva and looked at Yamada Ryo and Nijigao who were walking in front of him. For a moment, he wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but Matsueda Azusa held his shoulders with both hands.

"Come on, teacher!"

Matsueda Azusa gently pushed Goto Ichiri into the practice room: "Damn it!"

"Ichiri-chan, here's today's set list and sheet music, take a look!"

Hongxia handed the sheet music to Goto Ichiri, "Should be easy for Guitar Hero!"

Matsueda Azusa took a look and said, "It's really not difficult. Even I can do it, so it must be no problem for the teacher. Oh, but... it seems that there are no lyrics marked? Don't you have a lead singer?"

Hong Xia nodded: "Yes, we will only play music this time and not sing. We haven't found a lead singer yet."

"Why not let Guitar Hero-senpai give it a try?"

Yamada Ryo raised an eyebrow and fanned the flames, "Since Matsueda is a guitarist and lead vocalist, as his teacher, Guitar Hero should be able to do the same, right?"

"Eh?!"

Goto Ichiri widened his eyes and shook his head hurriedly: "Oyster oyster oyster oyster..."

"Alright! Ryo, stop joking around. We're already very grateful that Ichiri-chan can come and help us out as an emergency guitarist, so don't cause any more trouble for others!"

Hong Xia slashed Liang's forehead with a knife, and then apologized to Goto Ichiri: "Ichiri-chan, Liang just likes to joke around, don't take it seriously."

Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief… maybe asking her to play guitar would be okay, but singing in public would definitely be a mess. It might even ruin the live performance.

However, if there's no singing... the playing has to work harder. Goto Ichiri thinks he plays guitar pretty well, maybe? -- At least judging by Matsueda Azusa's performance and attitude, that's the way it seems.

She's a guitar expert recognized by her debut band! She should be able to do it! And the sheet music for this performance isn't that difficult, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Goto Ichiri showed a determined look, clenched one hand into a fist, and made a gesture as if offering his heart.

While Goto Ichiri was cheering herself up, Matsueda Azusa helped her plug in her guitar and gave her an "OK" sign: "Come on, teacher! Let everyone see what you're made of!"

Goto Ichiri nodded firmly. After all, she was a super popular blogger with 30,000 followers online. She was determined to amaze everyone with her playing skills!

"duang~"

Goto Ichiri strummed the strings handsomely and then began to play.

Seeing this, Yamada Ryo and Hongxia nodded and began to play with her.

The song is over.

Just as Goto Ichiri had imagined, everyone present was shocked.

Especially Matsueda Azusa, his jaw dropped.

Ichichi Hongxia was stunned: "Super..."

Super impressive, right? Goto Ichiri took a deep breath, waiting to be praised.

Then Hong Xia said, "Super bad!"

"Eh eh eh?!"

Goto Ichiri was hit by an arrow in the heart and fell to the ground. "Why why? Why? Why? Why? I'm a guitar hero! I have 30,000 fans..."

"Is it because there is absolutely no cooperation..."

Songzhi Zi hit the nail on the head, "The teacher is too used to playing solo. Once he starts playing, he can't help but play on his own and doesn't pay any attention to the other teammates."

"Ah, now that you mention it, it's true..."

Hong Xia suddenly understood after hearing this.

Goto Ichiri lost all his strength and means: "Yes, yes, I'm sorry! I'm not a guitar hero at all. In fact, I'm just a guitar water flea, a plankton that is even worse than a paramecium!"

Yamada Ryoukyō narrowed his eyes and asked, "Could it be that Guitar Hero's main job is actually a comedian?"

"Strange, how could this happen?"

Matsueda Azusa rubbed his chin in confusion. "Teacher, you look like you have absolutely no experience playing in a band. But I remember you said you not only formed a band at school, but also performed in many large-scale events."

Goto Ichiri was shaking like a sieve, and his whole body seemed to have lost all color. He stood still on the ground like a stone sculpture, and turned into gray-white snow.

"No, it's okay! Ichiri-chan."

Hong Xia quickly consoled him, "Maybe our skills are too poor to coordinate with you. Usually, Ichiri-chan's other teammates try their best to coordinate with your performance, right? We lack coordination, so this is the reason. There's nothing we can do about it."

Yamada Ryo put his hands on his hips and said, "Who said my skills are bad? My skills are really good."

"It's over, it's over..."

Goto Ichiri retreated into a corner. "Performing like this will definitely mess everything up. I'll be chased off the stage by the audience, ridiculed online, and eventually exposed as a fake on Guitar Hero. I'll never touch music again, and live a life of utter failure..."

"That won't happen."

Matsueda Azusa raised his thumb and pointed at the guitar on his back: "If anyone in the audience boos, I'll grab my guitar bag and give him a stun gun."

"Hey, why are you taking our bassist's job?"

Yamada Ryo protested in dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry...I actually lied to everyone."

Goto Ichiri switched to a dogeza position, tears welling up in his eyes. "Actually, I've never formed a band. I've had the idea for a while, but I couldn't find anyone to join. I don't have any friends, so I could only cover other people's songs and upload them online..."

Matsueda Azusa was shocked: "Huh?! You've never been in a band?"

"Yes, yes... Gomenasse..."

"The band members with different personalities and sunny and cheerful faces?"

"They are all imaginary... Yes, imaginary friends..."

"The super handsome and gentle school idol is now my boyfriend?"

"That's...that's just pure vanity-fueled nonsense..."

"A grand performance with huge crowds cheering?"

"It's completely false..."

Ah this.

"Ah, no wonder!"

Matsueda Azusa finally understood, clenching her right fist and pounding it against her left palm. "I was wondering why all of the teacher's videos are covers, not a single original song. Logically, anyone in a band would write a few songs themselves, so this is the reason."

This is not surprising, this is not surprising.

"Yes, it is……"

Goto Ichiri confessed honestly, "I've been diligently practicing all the hit songs from recent popular bands so I can immediately hit the big screen after forming a band... but I only have solo experience... I'm not cut out for forming a band after all. I'd better give up."

She stood up shakily, with a look of despair on her face, and was about to leave this beautiful world.

Eh? etc……

The smile on Songzhi Zi's face faded.

Giving up? Really? Are you serious?

This kind of thing is not allowed, right?
