In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

The more she thought about it, the more Kita Ikuyo's hands holding the guitar trembled.

"Calm down, take some deep breaths...just like you normally would during practice."

Chen Xinghua's voice suddenly appeared in Xiduo's ears.

"senior."

Kita Ikuyo took a step back and saw Chen Xinghua returning to his seat.

258

Chapter 258 Our band’s performance is... nice, right?

Yes...it's time for her to calm down. Kita Ikuyo gripped her guitar tightly.

It's obvious that senior and Pochi-chan have put so much effort and time into teaching her guitar.

Senior Hongxia and Senior Liang also let bygones be bygones regarding her previous escape.

And Miss Xiangzi also taught her a lot of music theory attentively. Kita Ikuyo stared at Xiangzi Toyokawa below the stage.

...So Kita Ikuyo must not let down the efforts of so many people.

Just as Kita Ikuyo was thinking this, a complex melody that sounded particularly cool suddenly sounded from the side and shook her brain.

Kita Ikuyo opened her mouth in surprise, turned her head to look at Goto Ichiri beside her, and suddenly found that she was bending over, lowering her head, playing the guitar very attentively.

...Pochi-chan comes to the rescue. This thought flashed through Kita Ikuyo's mind.

She lowered her head, calmed down, and immediately followed Goto Ichiri's performance.

It was obvious that there were more band members than just Kita Ikuyo who followed Goto Ichiri to perform.

The sounds of drums, bass, guitar, keyboard, and singing were dominated by the guitar in Ichiri Goto's hand, producing a relatively perfect melody.

Of course, this was just based on the average performance of a high school band. Toyokawa Shoko placed her hands on the table, narrowed her eyes, and mentally evaluated the situation.

After the song ended, Goto Ichiri breathed a sigh of relief, but her body was like a fragile college student who had just run a thousand meters. She collapsed and almost fell to the ground.

"My rescue was pretty good, wasn't it?"

Goto Ichiri asked his other self smugly.

But her other self, who would respond quickly in the past, was unusually dazed for a few moments at this moment.

"It's certainly cool to save the day."

"Goto Ichiri" recalled her memories. She remembered that she was also like Goto Ichiri now, who saved the day at the end of the band's first full live performance.

But this also exposed the shortcomings of the band, that is, compared with the lead guitarist, the level of other band members is a bit too inadequate.

Can a band with only one longboard still be called a band? "Goto Ichiri" thought with some worry.

...No, this might not even be enough to form the basis of a band.

(Let’s prepare a celebration party.)

"Goto Ichiri" said to his other self.

If there's anything bothering you, let's talk about it later... As for now, let Pochi-chan enjoy the treatment of being a guitar hero.

Anyway, talking about these things now will do nothing except make Pochi-chan worried.

……

A few hours later, in a cheap and affordable izakaya.

"The typhoon outside has finally stopped."

Chen Xinghua said with some emotion.

Hearing this sigh, Liang raised his head and took in the seating order of everyone present.

Miss Pa and the manager of Xingge sat on the opposite side, drinking beer...this is too social.

Then her pupils shifted to the right, and she saw Hongxia, Kita, Xinghua, and Pochi-chan leaning on Xinghua's shoulder.

Seeing this, Liang forced a beautiful smile in his heart.

But when her gaze turned to the opposite side, the smile disappeared.

Because sitting on the opposite side of the band were not only Miss Pa and the store manager Xingge, but also a blue-haired boy and a pink-haired boy who had changed into Hongxia's old clothes.

Why does that blue-haired guy turn his attention to Xinghua from time to time?

"The typhoon has passed...I don't think it will come back."

Liang picked up a French fry and spoke vaguely.

“This performance was really great.”

Chen Xinghua took a bite of the fried skewers before continuing.

"As long as I keep performing... sooner or later I'll be able to accumulate enough fans to perform at the Budokan or Tokyo Dome."

As her ears received this information, Hongxia's face subconsciously showed a helpless expression.

"That's too far away."

"There were only ten people in the audience just now."

Unlike Hongxia who just treated Chen Xinghua's words as a joke, Toyokawa Shoko seriously considered the possibility of implementing Chen Xinghua's words.

Even if we add the resources that Ave Mujica has accumulated since then, given the band's current level of playing out of tune, they will definitely not be able to perform at the Budokan or Tokyo Dome.

At best, they can only make a living by relying on the resources brought by Ave Mujica.

But before that... Toyokawa Shoko raised her head and looked at Goto who was leaning her head defenselessly on Chen Xinghua's shoulder.

You also need to think carefully about your love offensive.

…Luckily it was Goto-san. For some reason, seeing this huge advantage, Toyokawa Shoko-san didn't feel sad, but instead felt a sense of relief.

"Sorry, I have to go out for a while."

Kita Ikuyo hurriedly put down her phone, straightened her body, and was about to walk out of the izakaya.

"Xiduo, did something happen?"

Chen Xinghua tilted his head and looked at Kita Ikuyo.

"It's okay, senior, I just want to go out and get some fresh air. It's a bit too stuffy inside."

Kita Ikuyo's guilty yellow-green pupils turned away, not daring to look at Chen Xinghua.

This excuse is a bit too clumsy. Hong Xia shook the triangular hair on her head and complained in her heart.

"okay."

Chen Xinghua supported Goto Ichiri who had fallen on his shoulder, and stood up to make room for Kita Ikuyo.

Feeling the stimulation of his body being moved, Goto Ichiri's body, which seemed to have run out of energy, tried its best to open his blue eyes, trying to find the source of the stimulation.

"what?"

But after discovering that the stimulation came from his childhood sweetheart, Goto Ichiri turned off his behavioral module again, just like Ultraman after three minutes.

Kita Ikuyo hurried out of the izakaya and at the corner inside the izakaya, she saw the person she least wanted to see.

"Yudai."

Seeing his daughter coming out, Kikuchirudai put the lit cell phone into his pocket.

Obviously, she had just sent a text message to call Kita Ikuyo out of the ending band.

"Mother."

Kita Ikuyo nervously put her hands behind her back and fiddled with her fingers vigorously.

"Our band's performance is...nice, right?"

"For a high school band, it's pretty good."

Kitaruruyo tilted her head and saw a somewhat familiar male figure.

Oh...is that him?

"But Yudai, do you think you can support yourself with rock music?"

Kita Ikuyo straightened her tilted head and looked directly into Kita Ikuyo's extremely nervous eyes.

"Or do you want to be a housewife supported by a man?"

259

Chapter 259 Maybe it’s for Yu Dai.

Kita Ikuyo was stunned on the spot for a moment, her yellow-green eyes raised slightly, but eventually fell to the ground suddenly under the influence of gravity and emotions.

How could she possibly balance the two things, her band and her future studies? Kita Ikuyo didn't know.

But she knew that she absolutely could not quit the band, not only because everyone had put in so much effort, energy and time so that she could join the band.

Also because... Kita Ikuyo raised her head and looked at her mother, who was much taller than her.

She wanted to do something extraordinary, something special and sparkling.

That's why she chose to follow Senior Liang's figure and join the Ending Band for the first time... She felt that Senior Liang was particularly shining when performing on the street at that time.

That's why she worked so hard to learn guitar from Senior Xinghua...trying to make herself more "unusual".

“…There must be a way.”

She clenched her fists and finally uttered these words which were not very convincing.

But Kita Ikuyo knew that if she just wanted to be extraordinary, she would never become extraordinary.

After hearing Kita Ikuyo's answer, Kita Ikuyo was silent for a moment.

...What can a child do? It’s safer to rely on the traditional route of further education.

"Yudai, do you really think you can make a living from rock music?"

Kikudo Ryudai asked again, "There are only about ten people in the Live House today... you can count them on your fingers."

"That's because of the typhoon..."

Kita Ikuyo defended herself.

Hearing this, Kitoku Rudai sighed deeply for his daughter.

"Now that you're in first grade, it's okay to spend a lot of time on your extracurricular hobbies... But when you get to second grade, Yudai, you'll have to consider further studies."

Kita Ikuyo took a step back, leaving some space for Miss Kita Ikuyo who was in a suppressed state.

"And those dozen or so people didn't just come to end the band, did they?"

Kita Ikuyo realized what her mother meant almost instantly.

In other words, you can focus on finishing the band in the first grade, but when you move up to the second grade, do you have to give up finishing the band?

And... in her opinion, ending the band is just an extracurricular hobby?

"Want to talk to me?"

Kita Ikuyo didn't pay much attention to the expression on Kita Ikuyo's face. She just turned her head and looked at the man standing outside the light.

"certainly……"

Chen Xinghua strolled to the side of Kitaku Rudai.

"I think Xiduo can make a living from rock music."

The black pupils in his eye sockets turned, reflecting Kitoku Rudai in his retina, and his hand reached into his pocket, as if he wanted to take something out of it.

Kitoku Rudai couldn't help but frown, wondering if he was still dreaming such an unrealistic dream?

Although it is easy for boys and girls of this age to think of themselves as the one-in-a-million protagonists, the cruel reality is that you will not be treated as the protagonist just because you think you are the protagonist.

"As for the details, just take a look at this."

Chen Xinghua took out a ticket and handed it to Xiduoduoliudai.

"And I think even if it's an unpopular band, as long as they can ride on the fame of the popular band, it should be enough to feed themselves."
