Still not able to react, Yijichi Hongxia touched his head in confusion, and the triangular hair on his head trembled and turned into a big question mark.
Well... after all, compared to the music fanatic Ms. Yamada, Hongxia only knows the band names of these girl bands. If she were to remember everyone's name, it would be too much of a burden for Hongxia who is always so busy on weekdays.
"They are the guitarist of Roselia and the guitarist of PasPale, and they are also sisters."
After finishing the drink in the cup once again, Ms. Yamada took a picture of the music score written by Nakagawa Nobuyuki in the notebook in front of her with her mobile phone, and spoke calmly.
"Huh!? So Hina-san and her sister are a famous group..."
The table was propped up with a bang, and Ijichi Hongxia opened her eyes wide in disbelief and exclaimed, then quickly turned her head to look at Yamada Ryo beside her.
If nothing else, Ms. Yamada must have recognized it.
"Why didn't you tell me about that earlier!?"
Although she didn't know the specific names of the members, Hongxia had obviously heard of group names like Roselia and PasPale.
"Because Hongxia didn't ask."
Yamada Ryo raised his face easily and replied confidently.
"Roselia?"
On the other hand, seeing that the topic seemed to be developing in a very healthy direction, Nakagawa Nobuyuki blinked slightly, feeling as if he had heard such words somewhere before.
...Roselia?
Wait... classmate Xiaodeng seemed to have told me about this... Well, not really, but I can remember it based on my memory.
That day, when I went to the astronomy club to look for Aine and Xiao Deng, as soon as I walked in, I saw Xiao Deng standing on the table putting up posters... At that time, I complained that this was very dangerous.
The one on the poster was [Roselia]... When I saw the poster, I thought to myself that this was the kind of villain band that would turn off the lights even during band meetings.
However, I have never heard of PasPale... Looking at Hongxia's reaction, it seems that PasPale is quite famous?
Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned and fell into deep thought.
"what?"
Similarly, Kita Ikuyo on the other side also touched her head stupidly.
Many classmates in my class were talking about PasPale or something like that... I thought it was a cosmetics brand at first, but later I secretly checked it online and found out that it was an idol band...
So, the person who performed with me that day...is an active idol?
Looking at everyone in front of him who had huge reactions, Ijichi Xingge silently withdrew his gaze.
Just be shocked.
Because when Miss PA showed me these, I had a similar reaction.
"...So, if they can recognize me."
With a slight sigh, Ichichi Xingge shook his sleeves, and a shining key appeared in the girl's...well, well, a girl...hand.
"This is the key to the practice room at the back. From now on, it will be your... no, it will be the exclusive practice room for the Ending Band."
Under Hongxia's somewhat dazed gaze, Ijichi Xingge tried his best to appear as natural as possible, at least not like a bad guy who was about to end the [End the Band].
Today, if Miss PA hadn't shown me that video just now, I would definitely ask Hongxia to put the band aside for a while...at least it wouldn't be too late to go play outdoors after the college entrance examination.
“Really? Really?!”
Before the captain, Ijichi Kouka, could say anything, it was Kita-san who exclaimed in surprise.
"…It's not over yet. If I knew that any of you failed the final exam…"
As he spoke, Yidizhi Xingge narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at everyone in front of him. The meaning was self-evident.
"...We will all pass with high scores!"
Taking a deep breath, Yidi Zhi Hongxia immediately grasped the silver-shining key in the star singer's heart and spoke with extra determination.
But… Nakagawa Nobu, Ryo-san, and Goto Ichiri… somehow they all looked away in tacit agreement…

Chapter 250 Liang: Zhonghe, so cute.
After seeing off store manager Xingge, today's work was just like any other day. It was hard to say there was anything special about it.
If I have to say, maybe there are some... First of all, the lead singer with a broken bone - the one who came in a wheelchair, the one in which Miss Hai Ling was still the bassist.
Although I met other members of the band today, I didn't see Miss Hai Ling... When I asked about this, I was told that Miss Hai Ling had directly quit their band.
It seems that Miss Hai Ling did not lie to me... She actually quit the other bands. Could it be that she really doesn't plan to be a mercenary anymore?
Looking back, I must thank Miss Xia Hailing very much.
After Nakagawa Nobuyuki made a note of this matter, he started flipping through Shiina's composition book amid the loud music, just like he did a few days ago.
However, today, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was a little restless and unable to concentrate... If it were normal, no matter how loud the music was, Nakagawa Nobuyuki would be able to act as if the interference did not exist and simply calm down and figure something out.
The reason... actually has something to do with Miss Xingge. To be precise, it has something to do with the previous roadshow.
Some passers-by took pictures of the band's ending performance and posted them online. In fact, this was not a big deal, but Nakagawa Nobuyuki himself was there and was included in the picture.
When I went to the roadshow, I actually never thought that I would be asked to perform or anything... Oh, forget it, since it has come to this, I'll just let it be.
In the comment section… it seemed like some people recognized me, and some even posted comments like [Ren Xia! ] Luckily, since the meaning was unclear, passers-by didn’t seem to care much.
"……Ugh."
With a sigh of annoyance, Nakagawa Nobuyuki continued to move his hands, slowly turning the pages of the book, trying to force himself to calm down.
Although the music was a bit loud, Ms. Yamada, who was scribbling on a piece of paper with Goto Ichiri, could just hear it.
"Is there anything you don't understand?"
Yamada Ryo blinked, silently moved closer to Nakagawa Nobu's shoulder, looked at the densely packed square fonts under Nakagawa Nobu's hands, and a hint of approval was quietly revealed in his eyes.
No wonder Pochi is so obsessed with it... Nakagawa, he looks pretty handsome when he's serious.
Especially compared to that boring nerd, Nakagawa is usually a pretty interesting guy... and he is reliable when he needs to be reliable.
...sitting a little too close, I could smell the lemon-like scent on him.
Thinking of this, Yamada Ryo moved back slightly and continued to stare at Nakagawa Nobu's profile quietly.
“…It’s not like I can’t understand it.”
Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed again, slowly raised his head and looked at the surrounding situation.
...Okay, Hongxia and Kita are still sitting on the other side, so they probably can’t hear what’s being said here.
"Yamada, you know it, right?"
After using a bookmark to separate the off-white pages and closing the book properly, Nakagawa Nobuyuki became serious, lowered his voice a little, and moved towards Yamada Ryo.
"You know what happened in my junior high school, right?"
Pulling the bench that Miss Yamada Ryo was sliding away with a creaking sound, Nakagawa Nobuyuki asked quietly.
There was something obviously wrong with Ms. Yamada's reaction when I first met her. I suspected this at the time, but never had a chance to ask her.
"…If you mean bullying or other bad things."
Yamada Ryo smiled slightly, and held up his little face, which was always as rosy as a poker card, with extra ease.
"…Huh? Ryo, Ryo-san knows this, too?"
Hearing some key words, Goto Ichiri raised his head suddenly and stared blankly at the smiling Yamada Ryo.
That's hard. Could it be that Liang also goes to school nearby...?
"[Kantō Tetsuyoshi], right?"
Her expression became slightly teasing, and Miss Yamada looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her with a teasing tone. The man's expression became involuntarily a little embarrassed.
"...This nickname is so childish...It must have been given to me by those guys."
Hearing the familiar title, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still couldn't reconcile with such a childish title, and could only try his best to keep a straight face.
"..."
At this moment, Goto Ichiri, feeling somewhat guilty, quietly shrank a little under the table to a place where no one would notice.
"Isn't he pretty handsome?"
This was probably the first time that Ms. Yamada saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki with such an unhappy look on his face, and she was immediately amused.
Zhonghe is so interesting.
Such an interesting person should be acquainted with himself.
"But speaking of this, Yamada, you seemed to be saying bad things about me to Nijixia-san at that time, right?"
Since we happened to be talking about this matter today, it would be better to do it today. Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed lightly, his expression immediately relaxed, and he looked curiously at Miss Yamada who was trying to hold back her laughter.
It wasn't that he was out to accuse her or anything like that; he was simply curious about how Miss Yamada described herself to Nijixia.
Regardless of anything else, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still felt that he was a pretty good guy in normal times. At least he was definitely leaning towards being a "Renxia".
Looking at Hongxia's usual behavior, it was obvious that she did not take Miss Yamada's warning seriously.
"Of course you should tell me?"
Ms. Yamada tilted her head, letting her dark blue hair fall naturally in the direction of gravity. She said as a matter of course: "Do you want me to watch my friend get closer and closer to a delinquent?"
Looking at Yamada Ryo who was speaking with confidence in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had nothing to say.
It is indeed just as Ms. Yamada said... After all, if someone knew what happened to me back then, it would be normal for them to have a preconceived notion of myself as a delinquent or something.
"Then why didn't you care about this later?"
For some reason, looking at Yamada Ryo who was no different from usual in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki felt particularly relaxed. He also imitated Miss Yamada and propped up his face and continued to ask curiously.
It does feel good to have someone to confide your secrets to... Just sharing it makes people feel good.
“I still care.”
Ms. Yamada blinked and suddenly spoke in an unusually calm tone.
"If you weren't a bad person, I would have been dating you by now - just kidding."
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was suddenly shocked and frozen with his mouth wide open, Miss Yamada, whose prank had succeeded, immediately smiled and her serious expression disappeared.
I just played a little prank, but I managed to scare that [Kanto Tetsuyoshi] like this, even though he's usually so calm.
Haha...really, it’s so cute.

Chapter 251: Met Yili’s parents?
The time spent working passed quite quickly. Even if the time spent cleaning with Hongxia was included, it was not very long. In addition, Kita-san also tied her hair up and helped very hard, so the cleaning session was over quickly.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki naturally kept his promise and first sent Goto Ichiri, who had become more and more clingy recently, back home.
Speaking of which, the band seems to have gained some initial popularity after the band ended. At least Goto Ichiri was recognized by many guests...
Although Goto Ichiri seemed to prefer hiding behind Nakagawa Nobuyuki, looking at his silly smile, it was obvious that he was enjoying it.
...This kind of smile is probably because he is imagining himself stepping onto some super big stage.
By the way, many guests who came also mentioned Goto Ichiri who looked particularly handsome in the camera.
In the camera, when the music reached that position, the pink-haired girl with a calm face suddenly appeared, just like some otherworldly sage.
He just played the instrument casually and immediately got into the performance, even with his eyes closed, playing blindly relying on muscle memory... Not only that, after the performance, the feeling of slowly opening his eyes and looking around was so cool!
In the comment section, many students from Xiuhua High School also saw the video and naturally recognized the legendary [Xiuhua's Pink Ninety-Nine Grasses]. They also actively left comments under some people's tweets.
[I am a student at Xiuhua Middle School! The pink-haired guitarist is a famous cool girl in our school! ]
[Such a lovely girl must have many admirers in school, right? ]
[In fact, most students don’t dare to talk to this person…]
[Wow... It feels so cold. I feel like I'm going to be frozen if I'm looked at by someone.]
【…】
Looking at the comments on the phone screen, Nakagawa Shinzai discovered a completely different personality from the Goto Ichiri he knew in the comment section.
