It was like... he could read what everyone was going to do next.
……
Eh hey hey?
Why was it Xin who went up?
And why did Xin play so well? We had all rehearsed together before!
Is it difficult? Is there something wrong with my typing? It seems that I didn’t know because I closed my eyes just now…
Goto Ichiri's already pitiful appearance was now even more so as he bit his lips tightly and his small shoulders were hunched.
No...but if Xin is so good at playing the guitar, can I let Xin play the guitar with me in the future?
In this case, Kita-san will continue to be the lead singer... Nobu-san and I will play guitar or something... hehe...
As long as you have faith in your classmates, it's fine...
"..."
Looking at the pink-haired guitarist who was left behind by his teammates but suddenly revealed a silly smile, Hikawa Sayo couldn't bear to look away.
...Is this child stupid?
"How about it?"
After taking another sip of Demon Slayer, Hiroi Kikuri's eyes, which were already swirling with a hint of admiration, asked Hikawa Saya beside her in a low voice.
She moved aside without leaving a trace, and felt a little uncomfortable with the smell of alcohol. She frowned slightly and spoke lightly:
"……not bad."
…It’s actually super good.
It was so good that it made people subconsciously feel a little strange... It was obviously just an impromptu debut, and even Nichiren was looking at the score for the first time... Although I believe in Nichiren's level, the coordination between individuals cannot be practiced in a short period of time, right?
Really, super powers?
However, before Hikawa Sayo could think about anything, the next moment, the music in her ears suddenly became a little thinner. The next second, the other instruments suddenly stopped as if by agreement, and a more intense guitar solo filled the gap.
"Guitarist-san~"
Everyone only felt an ice-blue figure flash by, and the next moment, Goto Ichiri, who was holding a guitar and looked at a loss, was pushed to the place where Hikawa Hina had just stood, and asked in a panic.
The music started again.
"Wait, wait, what are you doing—"
"Yili, it's your turn!"
"Ahh yes!"
Hearing Nakagawa Nobuyuki's somewhat urgent call, Goto Ichiri, who had just hunched his shoulders, subconsciously stood up straight and responded quickly with his eyes closed.
But, where did it bounce to just now?
"Xin, Xin classmate! Where did you play just now?"
Goto Ichiri, who closed his eyes even tighter and was about to cry, asked hurriedly.
"Right here, one mile away - isn't it obvious that he knows?"
Looking at Goto Ichiri's fingers flying on the iron strings, Nakagawa Nobuyuki grinned somewhat reluctantly.
...Is this where I played?
Goto Ichiri suddenly felt a little puzzled. He mustered up the courage to quietly open his eyes and looked at his fingers that had already started moving.
Eh?
What, when!
This feeling was not shared only by Goto Ichiri who suddenly joined.
Even Nijiga, Ms. Liang...even Kita-san, who didn't even have a musical instrument, felt this sense of [harmony].
In this somewhat mysterious feeling, as the last part of the performance ended, a burst of loud cheers suddenly broke out from the crowd that had gathered at some point.
"..."
Hong Xia was sweating profusely and breathing heavily. She looked at the drumstick in her hand with some surprise. She licked her lips which were soaked in sweat and became bitter and salty. Finally, she smiled and spoke.
"...Hi everyone, let's...still end the band!"

Chapter 214: The roadshow was definitely a great success!
"…Um, Nijika-san, I'm sorry…I didn't think too much about it at the time…It's Hina's fault."
Poking her fingers gently, Hikawa Hina apologized guiltily under Hikawa Sayaka's stern gaze.
Mainly, the main thing is that Liang’s band is different every time I see it.
"Alright, alright~ Sayo-chan, since Hinata-chan is the one who saved the day, why don't you stop being so harsh, right?"
At this time, Hiroi Kikuri was already looking a little dazed, and it could be seen that she was trying hard to keep her eyes open.
"I'm fine...I did behave badly at that time."
Ichichi Hongxia waved her hand gently and responded in a low voice.
But my heartbeat was still a little rapid, and I hadn't recovered from the rhythm just now. It was as if my heartbeat was still following the beat of the drums.
How come they fit so well...?
"You don't have to be so modest... Didn't you play very well just now?"
After complaining about Hong Xia who was habitually humble, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's face was still slightly pale, but he still forced a smile.
"...And Saya-senpai, wasn't the performance by Hina-senpai just now also great? That solo... was pretty cool, wasn't it?"
After hearing what Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Ichichi Hongxia said, Hikawa Hina quietly raised her eyes and looked at her sister with a pitiful look on her face:
"Sister, I know I was wrong..."
Compared to Hikawa Sayo whose pretty face was frosted, Kita, who was sitting with Miss Liang, was in a much more positive mood.
Originally, as the [Publicity Minister], Kita Ikuyo was thinking about posting the video taken by Nakagawa Nobuo to Twitter later, but she didn't expect that some of the passers-by had already recorded their performance and posted it online.
And, as expected, Hong Xia’s final announcement was recorded.
[…Hello everyone, let’s…end the band! ]
Therefore, the number of fans of the band’s account would increase by dozens almost every time the account was refreshed.
You know, before this, only a few of them and Nakagawa Nobuyuki followed the band’s account!
As a result, after a roadshow, the number of fans is about to break 500!
Some of them were clicked by the audience at the scene, and some of them were clicked by netizens after they saw the live video and followed the account.
[Is this really a high school band? Their level is too good, isn't it?]
Hehehe ~ How can I have the nerve to praise you like that?
Kita Ikuyo was happily scrolling through the sudden increase in comments under her account, and she was super excited to share them with Yamada Ryo who was standing beside her.
"...It should be."
At this moment, Yamada Ryo looked like a hermit, holding his position very steadily, and said lightly: "After all, it has been perfected."
"Ryo-senpai is so handsome!"
Kita's eyes suddenly flashed with Kirakira stars, and she looked at the indifferent Yamada Ryo in front of her like a crazy fan.
……
"Thank you all for your hard work today... Can we consider this roadshow a success?"
After seeing off the Hikawa sisters and Mr. Shima who came to pick up Miss Hiroi, and waiting until everyone got on the return train, Ijichi Kouka, who felt relieved, finally smiled and looked at everyone sitting aside.
Although it was really not good at the beginning...but because of what Ms. Hina said, when I was angry, I had the courage to play.
Not only that, the feeling of perfect harmony during the last performance also left a deep impression on me.
If I had to describe it, it would probably be like a few carefully polished and cut gears that mesh perfectly with each other, right?
"It's obviously a great success! If Manager Xingge wants to inspect it tomorrow, it will definitely pass!"
Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists with full fighting spirit and spoke happily with an obviously happy look, wishing she could travel back to the time for acceptance tomorrow night.
"… Nakagawa also helped a lot."
Ms. Yamada blinked gently and spoke at the right time.
"Speaking of which, when did Nakagawa-san learn to play the guitar?"
Perhaps because she was reminded by Yamada Ryo's words, Kita Ikuyo suddenly pursed her lips and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was trying hard to reduce his presence with some suspicion.
"Oh, right? Didn't Nakagawa say that he doesn't know how to play any instrument? That's why he recommended Pochi-chan to be the guitarist..."
After hearing what Kita Ikuyo said, Ijichi Kouka, who had been smiling just now, suddenly stopped talking, as if she had discovered a blind spot, and slowly moved forward.
"..."
Looking at the girls around him who were looking at him with scrutiny, Nakagawa Nobuya could only pretend to clear his throat and speak in a serious manner.
"…Isn't this because I'm not good enough at playing the guitar? Ichiri plays much better than me, right?"
As he spoke, Nakagawa Nobuyuki put his arm around the shoulder of Goto Ichiri, who was also curled up in place, causing the girl, who was still immersed in her fantasy and smiling foolishly, to tremble subconsciously.
"babble……"
What had Goto Ichiri just imagined?
If one could project the space of human consciousness, one could probably see Ichiri Masaru and Shin-san, with two guitars, performing together at the Budokan...
"... Actually, it's not bad. I think Nakagawa-san plays much better than me~"
Kita Ikuyo tilted her head and spoke in a very cheerful tone.
Just when Ms. Yamada was about to ask something, the train, which was not able to read the mood, suddenly braked.
“…Is it so fast?”
Ichichi Hongxia stared at the familiar tram station in a daze, frowned slightly, but still stood up:
"Then Nakagawa-san, see you at Starry tomorrow. I'm super confident now!"
As Hongxia stood up, Kita and Ryo looked like they wanted to say something, but the train only stopped for a short time, and it was obviously too late to ask now.
When the train started again, only Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Goto Ichiri, who was fiddling with his fingers, were left.
After a while, as if he had made a great decision, Goto Ichiri poked Nakagawa Nobuyuki's arm.
"… Nobuyuki, my legs are not weak."
As he spoke, Goto Ichiri quietly raised his big eyes and looked at Nobuyuki, who was sitting next to him.
Because I want Xin to see my growth.
After this performance, my legs no longer felt so weak that I couldn't even stand up like before.
So, I want to hear Xin classmate praise me.
"So, does that mean I can go home by myself?"
"No, no, no, no!"
While nervously denying, Goto Ichiri hurriedly grabbed Nakagawa Nobu's sleeve and spoke timidly:
"…It would be better if you send me home."
Although looking at the smile on Xin's face, I can tell that he was just joking... but as expected, I still have to say it out loud to feel happier.
Looking at Goto Ichiri who suddenly became a little flustered in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki just smiled slightly and hid his hand behind his back without leaving any trace.
