"Definitely!?"
Looking at the two guys in front of her who were quickly becoming familiar with each other, Goto Michiyo smiled, turned around and walked upstairs, intending to chat with Ichiri.
After all, Ichiri must have something to say.

Chapter 253: The way of a band is to be chivalrous!
bang bang.
"I'm coming in, ok?"
Goto Michiyo knocked on the tightly closed door in front of her and spoke softly.
Let the two people playing music downstairs have a good chat. Right now, I should be acting as a love guide for my daughter.
Click.
There was no response from Goto Ichiri, but Goto Michiyo still gently pushed open the door and turned on the light in the room.
"Aieeee!!!"
Under the illumination of the fluorescent tube, the unknown pink object on the bed instantly made a wailing sound like a mortal who suffered a mental shock after encountering a ninja. Without a doubt, it must be Goto Ichiri who had just escaped.
"I usually have a lot to say to Xin, but Xin came to my house today, so why did he run away?"
After lifting a corner of the quilt and sitting on the edge of the bed with knees together, Goto Michiyo spoke in a very gentle tone, and patted the caterpillar that was curled up in the quilt like a cricket pupa.
"That's right, it's because Xin-san is here..."
Because he was covered in the quilt, Goto Ichiri's voice was a little muffled as he defended himself:
“Everyone is saying those embarrassing things… Even Erli… Ugh—”
Goto Ichiri continued to squeeze in, and it was unclear whether he got lost in the quilt or what, but he was just unwilling to stick his head out and talk properly.
After a long while, when Goto Ichiri's restlessness in the bed had gradually subsided, Goto Michiyo smiled and spoke.
"Yili, have you been happy these days since you saw Nobuyuki again?"
There was another commotion in the bed.
Suddenly, a little pink head timidly popped out from the corner of the quilt.
"...very happy."
After a while, Goto Ichiri, who was hugging his pillow tightly, even though his face was too red, he still mumbled in a low voice.
"You have to transfer there, isn't it because of Xin classmate?"
Michiyo Goto touched her daughter's little head and asked a question in a gentle tone whose answer was obvious.
"..."
Goto Ichiri remained silent for a while and didn't say much, but her red ears had already betrayed the girl's thoughts.
"Since that's the reason, Yili, you have to keep an eye on Xiaoxin... Xiaoxin looks like someone who is very popular with other girls, right?"
Thinking about what she usually shared with Xiali, and adding her own observations just now, Goto Michiyo gave such gentle instructions.
I had been paying attention to this matter since I was in junior high school when a student shared the story of "Xin" with me with a look of admiration on his face.
He would seek justice for others because they were bullied by him; he would ask the bad guys to return the money to the people he robbed; he would also send Yili back home every day because he was afraid that the bad guys would attack his friends...
I have been curious about this question for a long time. Why would that [Xin classmate] do such a thing?
I have asked my daughter this question before, and her response was something like "Renxia".
A child with a strong sense of justice... If that's the case, it would be really good and a very passionate feeling.
He is very active, has a very positive outlook, and looks clean, refreshing, and handsome. He also knows when to advance and retreat during the conversation just now, and his words seem very interesting...
Really, it’s impossible for this kind of thing not to be liked by other girls.
"...No, I won't... Nobuyuki-kun, you will definitely not abandon me."
Goto Ichiri secretly glanced at the particularly ambiguous look on Goto Michiyo's face, and silently grasped his collar, causing slight wrinkles on the pink collar.
Even if...even if Xin is dating someone else...he will definitely not leave me alone...
"Really? If you think like that, you've already lost to others, right?"
Looking at her disappointing daughter, Goto Michiyo sighed in disappointment and sat a little closer to Goto Ichiri.
"Yili, in the future you must..."
Such and such, such and such.
Compared to Goto Ichiri who has no dating experience, Goto Michiyo obviously has some say... although Goto Michiyo has only had some dating experience with Goto Naoki.
……
the other side.
"Actually, you're playing in three bands at the same time!?"
Goto Naoki opened his eyes wide and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki in disbelief.
This is not to say that I doubt Nakagawa Nobuyuki's guitar skills, but Nakagawa Nobuyuki just mentioned the issue of the band's composition...
The problem is not that Nakagawa Shin joined three bands at the same time, the problem is that he joined three girl bands at the same time! This problem is too big...!
Putting aside other things, it wouldn't be a big deal if everyone was girls or all boys, but if there was a member of the opposite sex in the band who had a slightly better relationship with everyone, and they rehearsed together every day... it would be really easy to create some sparks.
By then, it would be easy for some extremely ridiculous triangle, quadrangle, and pentagon relationships to occur...
Goto Naoki, who was once known as the "Python of the Eight Views of Kanazawa", has seen these situations countless times... It's just like this with just one band, what if there are three?
"Yeah, but actually, if I really want to join two bands, I'm joining one as a composer, and I'm planning to be a manager for the other one... It just so happens that everyone is familiar with both bands."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked at Goto Naoki who was extremely shocked in front of him, cleared his throat and slightly corrected what he had just said.
"Composing and being a manager... but these two fields are still a bit far apart."
After hearing that there were only two bands, Goto Naoki relaxed a little, but still clicked his tongue with some emotion.
An agent...it should be a band that aims at commercialization, otherwise why would they have an agent?
...Otherwise, in ordinary folk bands, this position is usually taken by whoever has more free time.
"Well... I'm still studying composition. As for being a manager... I'll also learn how to be one when the time comes."
Sitting upright, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gulped down the last of the Coke, then slowly stood up.
"It's getting late today, uncle and aunt, please go to bed early. I'm really sorry to bother you so suddenly today..."
Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was smiling slightly and skillfully throwing out a lot of social etiquette in front of him, Goto Naoki suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of dislocation.
No, is this kid really a high school student... This statement is too watertight, and it feels too much like those officials who shirk responsibility by bowing.
"Then be careful when you go back..."
"By the way, Xiaoxin, if you encounter any problems with music... or the band in the future, you can come to me. I still know a lot of people there."
Since Nakagawa Nobuyuki had already said so, it was difficult for Goto Naoki to try to persuade him to stay. Instead, he also stood up and reminded Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a slight smile.
Naoki Goto is not bragging. As a very famous guitarist in the area at that time, he inspired many people to pursue a career in music. Although he is not a big name, many people could call out his name back then.
"Thank you, uncle?"
Goto Naoki also smiled and bowed, and he didn't even let Nakagawa Nobu go directly. Instead, he walked Nakagawa Nobu to the door before turning back to the living room.
"Ren Xia...the bands nowadays are so rock and roll."
Closing the door behind him with a smile, Goto Naoki couldn't help feeling inexplicably overwhelmed and sighing.
From the video of Nakagawa’s performance, he could sense an unstoppable sense of determination… It was as if he was consuming something important to play.
That's why his playing is so infectious.
Thinking of this, Goto Naoki even felt a little excited.
Someone who can play music with such passion...where will he go with the bands he joins?
It’s true that the young are to be feared.

Chapter 254: Caring for the empty-nest Xiaoxiang.
The train on this journey home was not very busy. After all, it was late at night, and since it was a route from Yokohama to Tokyo, there were even fewer people.
At the time when Nakagawa Nobuyuki was sending Ichiri home, the train from Tokyo to Yokohama would be packed with depressed office workers wearing identical dark suits.
No wonder many company employees wear name tags and ties of different colors. If they don’t, everyone will look the same, like clones.
However, these have little to do with Nakagawa Nobuyuki. At this moment, Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just sent a message to Toyokawa Shoko, saying that he would be able to return soon.
By the way, he took out a photo he had just taken outside the station and sent it over immediately.
Soon, the reply came.
[Why did you end up in Yokohama? You’ve gone too far…]
【But the scenery is pretty good? 】
Afterwards, the message [Inputting...] kept jumping, but no message was sent.
If Nakagawa Nobuyuki had the superpower to see the other side of the phone, he would probably know why.
Because... at this moment, Toyokawa Shoko was looking at the words in the chat box hesitantly, wanting to press the pointed delete key, but reluctantly withdrew her finger.
“[Would you like to go see it together next time?] or something like that… I can’t even say that.”
Turning over in frustration, Toyokawa Shoko pressed her slightly red face into the soft pillow and complained sullenly.
Next to the pillow, there is a notebook containing information about Ave Mujica's clothing designs and plans.
The clothing design has a Gothic style.
It's just right, and it's paired with a slightly metal style of music...it really feels particularly harmonious.
Shoko Toyokawa even had the illusion that Ave Mujica was supposed to be like this.
According to Toyokawa Shoko's plan...it would be best if the first debut match could be held at a slightly famous LiveHouse like RiNG, and since Sumimi's agency has expressed support, they should be able to try something bolder.
...How about finding some bigger and more famous bands to perform live?
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on Toyokawa Shoko's door.
dong dong dong.
At first, Shoko Toyokawa thought she had misheard, but the knock on the door sounded again, which immediately dispelled her illusion.
...It can't be the letter. The letter is still on the returning train.
...At this point, it's impossible for him to be a salesperson or something...
There is a problem, absolutely there is a problem.
Therefore, Toyokawa Shoko just frowned slightly, did not answer the knock on the door, and pretended not to be at home.
No matter what, I'm living alone outside... I have to be careful and wait until the letter comes back.
Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko picked up her phone again and sent a message to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
【Xin, are you back? 】
[Someone is knocking on my door...]
In fact, the answer is right in front of the eyes... Because Xin is holding his own key, he would definitely go straight in if he wants to... Even if he is joking, Xin would never joke about this kind of thing.
Soon, Nakagawa Nobuyuki's reply appeared immediately.
【? 】
[There are still a few stops to go. Don't open the door yet. ]
【wait me back. 】
It's totally different from usual... It was a very brief reply, but I feel a little relieved...
Toyokawa Shoko breathed a sigh of relief, put on her slippers quietly, and slowly walked towards the door.
