Shrugging slightly, Miss Liang picked up the instrument bag without looking back and walked to the side of Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was squinting his eyes.
It can be seen that Miss Liang seems a little angry.
...Even Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who usually had a smiling face, seemed unable to maintain his smile.
"Oh my~ It seems that Hina-chan is in trouble?"
Hiroi Kikuri gently pressed down Hikawa Sayaka, who was about to step forward with an unpleasant look on her face. She still had her eyes slightly narrowed as she looked at the somewhat bewildered Hikawa Hina.
"... Hiroi-senpai, is there anything you want to say?"
Hikawa Sayo's voice was light, and although she was clearly questioning something, her tone was particularly unquestionable.
Well, after all, the current situation is really bad. As the eldest sister, it is normal to be anxious.
"Don't rush to interfere...Hina-chan, aren't you thinking of a solution?"
With a smile on her face, Hiroi Kikuri tilted her head and just raised her chin towards Hikawa Hina, signaling Sayo, who was worried and confused, to pay attention.
That's right, Miss Hina, who obviously realized that she had done something wrong, was now staring at the dejected Hongxia, and her mind was rapidly thinking of ten million solutions.
However, even if she had thought of ten million solutions, Hinami probably had never thought of relying on her sister alone to solve the problem.
The next moment, Hina seemed to have thought of a solution and turned around to look at Kita, who was still standing there at a loss.
"...Lead singer-san, can you lend me your guitar for a little while?"
"Eh?"
"Thank you~"
Perhaps it was because Hina's sudden serious expression was particularly convincing, in any case, Kita Ikuyo handed her guitar to Hina Hikawa in front of her.
hum-
The crowd who were about to leave were suddenly attracted by the sound of the guitar that sounded again and looked over with curiosity.
"I'm right, Sayo-chan~Hina-chan, there must be a way."
Showing a look of no surprise, Hiroi Kikuri gulped down a mouthful of fruity Demon Slayer and let out a sigh of relief.
"..."
Hikawa Sayo said nothing, staring closely at her sister who was performing solo, and no one knew what she was thinking.
At this moment, Liang, who was originally a little angry, suddenly revealed a barely perceptible smile of planning when everyone's attention was focused on Hikawa Hina.
Things are developing just as Miss Liang had expected.
Originally, I was still thinking about how to comfort Hongxia, but... Miss Hina suddenly gave me such a useful sentence.
Ms. Liang's plan is this:
Since Ms. Hina could sense that she said something strange, she could of course also sense Hongxia's depressed mood.
It is true that the performance just now was not very good, but it is also true that Ms. Hina said such bad things.
If Miss Hina offers to apologize... I will tell her to take Kita's guitar and let Kita sing well.
In this way, the effect will definitely be much better, and it will also help the somewhat depressed Hongxia to regain her confidence. However, I didn't expect that Miss Hina would directly take over Kita's guitar.
I have to say that Miss Liang does have some good ideas.
...with just one minor drawback.
Look at Yili who has now cowered aside. Can he really get back on stage now?
But there is also good news.
Hina, now she and Ryo have the same idea - the most urgent task is to help the drummer regain her confidence!
This is the margin that Miss Genius has.
Therefore, after taking a quick glance at the music score on the stand in front of her, Hikawa Hina felt more at ease and spoke in a crisp voice:
"Drummer-san, how about trying to play it again?"
As he spoke, he gently plucked the strings of the guitar, producing an exceptionally clear sound.
"...I still consider it——"
"Xiao Hongxia, there are no other drummers here~"
Hiroi Kikuri, whose voice was already a little dazed, said this, still smiling: "You can't just watch others play your band's songs, right?"
Is Ms. Hiroi really drunk today...? Why do you always speak so directly?
Yidi Chi Hongxia's steps suddenly stopped and she stood still, holding the drumstick tightly in her hand.
...Sure enough, I still feel a little unconvinced.
Looking at Ichichi Kouka who was gritting her teeth and turning to walk towards the drum set, Hiroi Kikuri nodded slightly.
Poke.
Poke poke.
"... Nakagawa, why are you standing there? Come on stage."
At some point, Yamada Ryo took out Goto Ichiri's guitar and naturally handed it to Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was watching the subsequent developments with great interest.
There's no way, Pochi seems to be unable to be called at all.
"……I?"
Surprisingly, Nakagawa Nobu pointed at himself uncertainly and said in confusion: "...I can't play the guitar, so why don't I play with Hiroi-senpai?"
Unexpectedly, Miss Yamada in front of him just shook her head calmly and said in a clear voice:
"…A few days ago, he was marking the fingering of chords, and there were bandages on his fingers - he must be learning guitar, right?"
Of course, Ms. Liang didn't know that the fingerings marked for the chords were for Chihaya Ai's phonetic notation, and the band-aid... was just a side effect of the [progress bar].
Just at this point, Miss Liang suddenly paused, and then slowly said what she thought was the most crucial thing.
"...Besides, Hiroi-senpai is not in our band, right?"
But Ms. Hina and I didn’t join the closing band, right?
This is what Zhonghe Xinxin thought in his heart.
However, Nakagawa Nobuyuki took the guitar very obediently.
...There's nothing I can do. Who told Miss Liang what she meant? Doesn't she mean that she has already joined the Ending Band?
In this case, we should at least share some of the worries with everyone.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had no idea that he was so easy to deal with, sighed slightly in his heart and thought with some emotion.
When Miss Hina stopped Hongxia, I probably knew what Miss Hina was going to do.
It was simply a plan to let Kita concentrate on being the lead singer, and she would take over the task of playing the rhythm guitar.
In this way, a perfect live performance may indeed help build up everyone's confidence.
But... it seems like Kita doesn't get this point at all, and Pochi... obviously can't act with a stranger like this.
...But, Ms. Yamada, don't you think about whether I can play the guitar?
Yamada Ryo looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had a helpless look on his face but still took the guitar, and nodded slightly.
Of course, Ms. Yamada has thought about this kind of thing.
...Nakagawa is also a [genius].
Since I met Zhonghe, this guy's progress is... so exaggerated that it's scary.
Yamada Ryo smiled and let go of his hand, letting the guitar hang steadily on Nakagawa Nobuyuki's shoulder.
If Nakagawa Nobuyuki knew what Yamada Ryo was thinking, he would probably cry out in injustice.
However, even if Nakagawa Nobuyuki knew these things, he would not be able to explain them to Miss Yamada.
After all, the [progress bar] and the like sound too ridiculous. Who would believe it?
Coupled with what Miss Liang said just now, he couldn't even find any external help.
Looking at Ichichi Kouka who sat down gently with a determined look on her face, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed softly and silently called out the [Progress Bar] which had already been full.
...Okay then, I hope the reaction will be smaller later.
If you don't use it when you should, there's no point.

Chapter 213: Such a [match]...why?
What exactly is a genius?
There are many kinds of geniuses in this world, and people often call those who are beyond ordinary cognition "geniuses".
Field Marshal Schlieffen, who proposed the Schlieffen Plan, was known as a genius strategist.
Nikola Tesla, who made decisive achievements in the alternating current system, is known as a "genius" inventor.
Miss Hikawa Hina, who has almost understood the score just by listening once and glancing at it with her eyes... is naturally a [genius].
Similarly... Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who is holding a guitar and leaning against a telephone pole waiting, is still a genius in Miss Liang's eyes.
Therefore, under the increasingly expectant gazes of the crowd, Yamada Ryo calmly pulled up the still confused Kita and stood in the venue under the street light.
It was not until the microphone was stuffed into his hand that Kita roughly understood what he was going to do and smiled in sudden realization.
"..."
Hikawa Sayo, who was extremely confused, frowned tightly and still didn't understand what was going on.
This group of people...can they communicate with each other mentally?
"... Hiroi-senpai, could you explain it a little bit?"
Hearing Hikawa Sayo's particularly confused and puzzled voice, Hiroi Kikuri, who was comforting Goto Ichiri, just smiled slightly.
“…You’ll know in a moment.”
As she said this, Hiroi Kikuri slowly turned her gaze towards Ijichi Kouka, whose expression had finally become more determined, and she looked quite interested.
……
"..."
This time, there was no one announcing the event.
Bang, bang, bang, bang—
Therefore, the sound of the drumsticks hitting each other becomes more obvious.
The next moment, following the strong cymbal sound that seemed to be venting some pent-up emotions, the sound of musical instruments came in at just the right moment.
What to say?
[Genius] may be [Genius] after all.
Ms. Hina took over Kita's performance work naturally, and her personal style is not that obvious and not easy to hear.
The only thing I can say is that the performance is much smoother than Kita's.
However, the style of Nakagawa Nobuyuki's playing...is fierce and particularly eye-catching.
Kita only needs to concentrate on singing, but Nakagawa Shin has a lot to consider.
From the perspective of others, maybe it was because the summer night was too hot, or maybe it was because the performance was too exciting...
The guy holding the black and gold guitar had beads of sweat rolling down his face, and when it hit the ground, it seemed that a slight sound could be heard.
At this moment, feeling a little dizzy, Nakagawa Nobuyuki finally understood why his friends in the band... were so concerned about the Live.
The progress bar...although it is being consumed rapidly, it is also climbing slightly upwards from time to time.
…At the same time, a large number of fragmented memories in his mind now acted naturally on his fingers and arms——
Apart from these objective things...if Nakagawa Nobuyuki were asked to describe his current mood and feelings, then Nakagawa Nobuyuki could probably only use one word to describe it.
【Fit】
...Even Nakagawa Nobuyuki had a slight illusion in his heart.
