Muttering some insignificant things in my mind, I was almost completely intoxicated by such happiness and joy.
…Now, I can no longer talk about the relationship between [senior] and [junior].
In this case, it is clearly an impure relationship between opposite sexes, right?
By the way, I wonder if this was Xiao Xin's first kiss? Hehe, if it was, then it wouldn't be too exaggerated to exchange it for my first kiss.
But, does Xiao Xin have a girlfriend? Although I don't know who in Ave Mujica it is, it seems that everyone cares about Xiao Xin.
...Xiao Xin, no, you can't have a girlfriend, okay? If you have a girlfriend...then I can only be the guy who steals your love, okay?

Chapter 169: Is it really okay to join two bands at the same time?
Although I feel very sorry for the security guards, it would be too embarrassing to apologize now...
Fortunately, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still relied on his thick skin and apologized to the security guards as if nothing had happened. The security guards had no choice but to accept Nakagawa Nobuyuki's apology.
After all... you can't not accept it, right?
The manager even casually asked who kicked his butt, but was glossed over by Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a calm expression.
However, the uncles were not fired or had their wages deducted in the end. Instead, they received gifts of comfort sent by Yuko Nagasaki.
It seems that Miss Su Shi felt very embarrassed about what happened today, so this is a small compensation for everyone.
Of course, how could Xiaoxin, one of the parties involved, not be there?
However, this is a story for another day.
As for Nakagawa Nobuyuki at this moment, he had just walked out of the lobby feeling relieved.
Of course, Nakagawa Shinya had already let go of Toyokawa Shoko's hand naturally. After all, since he was no longer in front of Nagasaki Motoyo, there was no need to continue acting like this.
"…Xin, are you going home now?"
Stopping gently at the door of the building, Toyokawa Shoko raised her eyes slightly and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who still looked a little pale.
"Let me call my part-time job first... I just slipped away from my part-time job. I hope I won't get scolded by the store manager."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki shrugged and spoke helplessly.
If I had known it was just a misunderstanding, I wouldn't have rushed here in such a hurry... I could have even come after get off work.
Now that’s good, I guess I’m going to be scolded by the store manager Xingge, and it’s not impossible that I’ll be fired directly.
Not only did I use up the progress bar, but I also spent a lot of money. I guess I’ll be scolded by the manager of Xingge when I go back…
"Ugh……"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed deeply, and a feeling of fatigue and irritability slowly flowed out of his heart.
...Forget it, forget it. What was supposed to happen has already happened. Just think of it as a slight repair to the relationships among everyone in my social circle.
If everyone could talk nicely like everyone did when the band ended, there wouldn't be so many complicated twists and turns.
...It seems that the band is not a panacea.
"... Xiangzi, can I borrow your cell phone?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of all the unhappiness and irritability in his mind, and extended his hand to Toyokawa Shoko who was looking at him worriedly.
"…Is this all right, Xin?"
Toyokawa Shoko looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was rarely exuding a low mood in front of her, and asked softly with some concern.
Although, I actually roughly know why Xin has such an expression.
I thought something very critical had happened, so I rushed over, only to be told that I was overthinking and that the situation was not like that at all.
...Really, no wonder Xin has such an expression now.
Taking the phone handed to him by Toyokawa Shoko, Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned and dialed the number in silence.
Manager Xingge is not the unreasonable person. As long as I explain it carefully, I believe he will understand me... If he doesn't understand, then just treat it as a punishment for meddling in other people's business.
Oh... never mind. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice. I just hope that Nagasaki can be like me and mind his own business in the future.
Toyokawa Shoko looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was obviously listless in front of her, and opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say a few words of comfort... but for a moment, she really couldn't think of any suitable words.
beep.
The call was connected.
"Hello~ Good evening, good evening, this is Starry——"
Suddenly, a drunken voice came from the other end of the phone. Just by hearing the voice, it seemed as if the smell of alcohol was wafting out of the phone.
Fortunately, before Nakagawa Shin, who had a gloomy face, could speak, Xingge's familiar voice suddenly intervened.
"Ahem... Good evening, this is Starry, what's the matter?"
After taking a deep breath, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slowly said, "Um, Manager Xingge, I——"
"Wait, Nakagawa?"
Listening to the somewhat unhappy tone of Ijichi Hoshige on the other side, Nakagawa Nobuyuki silently closed his eyes, prepared for the worst, and spoke softly.
"it's me."
After getting Nakagawa Nobuyuki's answer, Ijichi Hoshika's brows only twitched slightly. Although she was a little anxious, she still said calmly: "Hiroi has been looking for you since he arrived. If you haven't finished using the toilet, Hiroi might chase you into the men's toilet."
"Toilet..."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki suddenly opened his eyes, and before he could say anything doubtful, he immediately stopped the car and nodded solemnly, "Okay, Manager Xingge, I'll be out in a while."
Although I don’t know why Xingge thought she was going to the toilet, it’s fine as long as she is not fired.
"It's Nakagawa boy~ Didn't you say you're going to take Pochi along this time--"
"Woooa ...
Doodle.
Apparently, it was Ijichi Hoshika who decisively hung up the phone before the drunk Hiroi Kikuri continued to act crazy.
Although this was definitely a dishonest deception, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was never such a pedantic person. Since the call had already been made, it would be good to avoid a scolding.
At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's mood finally improved a lot, at least the feeling of depression disappeared instantly.
"……How about it?"
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who suddenly showed a somewhat relaxed expression in front of her, Toyokawa Shoko blinked. Perhaps it was really because they were of one mind or something, the discomfort in her heart also easily disappeared.
"Luckily, the store manager thought I was just going to the bathroom."
He heaved a sigh of relief and then handed the phone back to Toyokawa Shoko. He said apologetically, "I'm sorry to bother you with this wasted trip, Shoko."
Toyokawa Shoko shook her head slightly and said softly:
"It wasn't a wasted trip... At least, I solved a very important problem."
This is indeed true. After all, not long ago, Toyokawa Shoko was still worried about what she would do if the band’s affairs were known by the former Crychic members.
I originally thought that by then it would be like a chain reaction, completely breaking up between me and everyone...it might even force Xin to make a choice.
...In the end, I didn't expect that the young man would directly ask, "Can't I join two bands at the same time?"
To be honest, Toyokawa Shoko has never thought about this problem.
If I were still the well-fed and well-clothed young lady, perhaps doing such a thing would not be difficult. Joining two bands or something like that would not be difficult either, right?
However, since the letter asked this question...
Haha, maybe in the end, I will be like Shin and join two bands at the same time, one with Shin, and the other one continues with Crychic?
Maybe by then, the two bands could even promote on the same account, releasing various live news and MV videos?
...Really, why do I always have such wild and naive ideas popping up in my mind recently?
With a self-deprecating but not regretful smile, Toyokawa Shoko moved her eyes, which were filled with a bit of tenderness, and gently looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her.
When the time comes, you must keep your promise and join two bands together or something?

Chapter 170: Don’t worry too much about classmate Xin, right?
It is of course impossible to take a taxi back. Although Roppongi to Shimokitazawa is not far, the cost of a taxi is much more expensive than taking the train.
After replying to everyone on his phone and expressing his apologies, Nakagawa Nobuyuki leaned his head against the back of a chair on the side of the train.
...Today, I am really exhausted.
Although I have developed a new function of the [Progress Bar] and verified my guess, even if only half of it can be used in advance, and using half of the progress bar in exchange for a full bar can even be considered a small profit.
However, it is true that this thing is quite harmful to the body.
Even now, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's calves are still shaking unconsciously as if they were electrified.
...Also, it seems that this thing can absorb my emotions.
Just when I was very upset about the Nagasaki incident, this thing was still jumping forward.
Staring at the progress bar floating in the air, Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned slightly, feeling as if he had forgotten something...
Oh yes, I remember now, the unknown black spot on my hand has also expanded, and even now I still feel a burning pain.
It should be that the more frequently you use it, the more the black mark will spread?
Gently stroking his wrist which had a strange pattern like a tattoo, Nakagawa Nobuyuki silently pulled his sleeve a little lower.
In Japan, if you have large tattoos on your body, you will be denied entry to many places. If you are discovered by the student council or teachers in Yugaoka, you will definitely be in big trouble.
I'll go buy some concealer or something to cover it up.
With his brows slightly furrowed, he was thinking about various things here and there, until the surrounding scenery became familiar, Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally came back to his senses.
"Next stop, Shimokitazawa, Shimokitazawa. Passengers who want to transfer to the Inokashira Line, please get off here. Please be careful with your hands and luggage."
Hearing the familiar station announcement, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had just come to his senses, slowly stood up.
……
"Alright, alright, Pochi-chan~ stop hanging around there. Nakagawa-san just sent a message saying he'll be back soon."
Hongxia gently supported her pretty face, looking at Goto Ichiri in front of her with a nonchalant look, as he was fidgeting and nervously drinking a glass of water from time to time, which caused him to run to the toilet soon after.
“…What if Shin-san meets Hachishaku-sama, TEKETEKE, Jack the Ripper…or accidentally gets on the train to Kisaragi Station!”
Goto Ichiri shrank his shoulders with tears in his eyes. If Hongxia and Kita hadn't stopped him, he would have rushed out to find Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
Especially, especially recently there is a new version of the story of Kisaragi Station. It is said that in the mist of the station, there is a girl with silver-white hair who walks backwards very quickly...
Ugh... it's scary just thinking about it! What if... what if Nobu-san was trapped in there...
"Forget about the previous one. Jack the Ripper and his ilk weren't even in Japan, I think..."
Behind the counter, Hong Xia, who was taking over Nakagawa Xin's seat, twitched his eyebrows slightly and complained with a black face.
"It's okay. If it's Jack from Japan, nothing should happen to Zhonghe."
Ms. Yamada on the other side added with a calm expression, which was in stark contrast to Goto Ichiri on the other side who was running around in a panic.
After a while, probably because she realized that no one took her bag, Miss Yamada cleared her throat lightly and spoke again as if nothing had happened.
"…But that's possible. After all, Nakagawa said he went to school hungry every day."
There was still silence. Hongxia patted Kita Ikuyo, who was beside her and was about to ask a question with a curious look on her face, as if she was used to it.
"You'll get used to it. Ryo always says weird things... I'll just let Nakagawa-san explain it later."
However, when she heard that she had to wait for Nakagawa Nobu to explain, Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but reveal a somewhat pitiful look:
"Eh... But I'd be embarrassed if I saw Nakagawa-san now... I thought Nakagawa-san was the kind of devilish boy who would attack girls even if they weren't dating."
When I think about how I actually mistook Goto-san's "I need to take medicine" as "I need to take... the emergency medicine"... Ugh - in the end, who would have known that it was just that Nakagawa-san was feeling a little unwell today...
"This is indeed very weird, but is this the reason why you are embarrassed?"
A very serious and somewhat enlightened voice suddenly sounded from the side.
"That's it...that's it...really, didn't we agree not to mention it——"
