Taiichi Nakaritsu, confused, picked up a broom and asked in doubt, "What's this?"
"Cleaning, the shop will be open soon." Yan Xi said.
Taiichi Nakaritsu looked at Ijichi Honoka in terror.
So they were tricked into being forced labor?
Ijichi Honoka patted Yan Xi twice and said, "How could A-Xi make customers clean!"
She then said to Taiichi Nakaritsu and the others, "A-Xi was just joking, we're not some kind of black shop."
Yamada Ryo walked over, and Ijichi Honoka introduced, "This is our band's bass player, Yamada Ryo. Although he's a bit strange, his bass skills are top-notch."
Akiyama Mio, also a bassist, felt a connection and wanted to have a musical exchange with Yamada Ryo, like Taiichi Nakaritsu and Ijichi Honoka did.
However, Yamada Ryo was expressionless, seeming hard to approach, which made Akiyama Mio, who was already afraid of strangers, hesitate.
Taiichi Nakaritsu had been paying attention to Akiyama Mio, and just from her expression, she knew what she was thinking.
"Yamada Ryo-senpai, our bassist wants to have a chat with you!" Taiichi Nakaritsu raised her hand and shouted, helping Akiyama Mio take that step.
"Ritsu!" Akiyama Mio quickly pressed Taiichi Nakaritsu's hand down, indicating that she wasn't ready.
Ijichi Honoka looked at Yamada Ryo and asked, "What does Ryo say?"
Yamada Ryo nodded expressionlessly and said, "No problem."
It's rare to see bands of the same age, and most are just playing for fun. Serious musicians who dream of making their debut eventually become mediocre.
Like these people in front of him, Taiichi Nakaritsu and the others.
If they're really serious about this, they should practice seriously every day, not treat drinking tea and eating snacks as club activities!
However, there's nothing wrong with leisurely enjoying playing in a band, and the few of them are enjoying it.
Helping students better enjoy their school life, that's the meaning of a club.
"Come sit over here, do you want a drink?" Ijichi Honoka asked.
Taiichi Nakaritsu raised her hand happily and said, "I want cola!"
She was too happy too soon.
"Okay, cola, 500 yen, thank you." Ijichi Honoka said with a smile.
"Isn't it free!" Taiichi Nakaritsu was shocked.
"It's marked here."
Taiichi Nakaritsu painfully took out 500 yen.
It's not a lot of money, but it's more expensive than outside, so it's painful.
Ijichi Honoka smiled and asked, "Do any of the others need anything?"
Hirasawa Yui didn't even think, saying, "Cola!"
Akiyama Mio, "I'll have the same then."
Kousaka Azusa, "Me too!"
Ijichi Honoka rubbed her hands, looking like a cunning merchant.
"Three colas, thank you for your patronage!"
Then she called for Pochi to get the drinks.
Akiyama Mio and Kousaka Azusa paid, Hirasawa Yui patted her pockets, only finding two 100 yen coins.
"Ritsu..." Hirasawa Yui looked at Taiichi Nakaritsu pitifully.
Taiichi Nakaritsu: "..."
...
Taiichi Nakaritsu covered her injured wallet, her wallet was becoming weak from losing 1,000 yen.
Hirasawa Yui drank some cola and burped, smiling at Taiichi Nakaritsu and saying, "Thanks Ritsu, I'll pay you back tomorrow."
Taiichi Nakaritsu grabbed Hirasawa Yui's shoulders and cried, "You have to remember!"
It's not that Taiichi Nakaritsu didn't trust Hirasawa Yui's character, she was worried that she would forget about it!
After the commotion, both groups sat down to chat.
Taiichi Nakaritsu said, "Today I was going to take Yui to a music store."
Shimokitazawa is a famous commercial area, Taiichi Nakaritsu and the others were strolling around here when they saw Yan Xi 'bullying' Pochi, and they intervened to help.
"Doesn't Yui have a suitable instrument yet?" Ijichi Honoka asked.
Hirasawa Yui touched her head sheepishly.
Taiichi Nakaritsu laughed and said, "This guy even got the Light Music Club wrong, thinking it was light music."
"Ah, outsiders can indeed have this misunderstanding." Ijichi Honoka said.
So-called light music is not light music, but a form of popular music between classical music and pop music, with a light and pleasant character, usually played by a small band, with a simple structure, brisk rhythm, and beautiful melody.
Coincidentally, Yan Xi was the 'outsider' in Ijichi Honoka's mouth who would have this misunderstanding.
He learned the definition of light music from a Wikipedia search just now.
Ijichi Honoka encouraged, "Yui, come on, you'll definitely find an instrument that suits you."
The Light Music Club already has a drummer, bassist, and pianist, and they still need a guitarist.
So Hirasawa Yui probably has no choice.
"For guitar...you can ask Pochi if you have the chance!" Ijichi Honoka said.
"Eek!"
Goto Iori, who had been acting as background noise, suddenly heard her name and was startled.
"Me, teach someone?" Goto Iori's expression was fearful, afraid of interacting with strangers.
Taiichi Nakaritsu said softly, "Pochi seems even more introverted than Mio..."
"I'm not introverted!" Akiyama Mio retorted, though it wasn't convincing.
Ijichi Honoka wants Goto Iori to overcome her introversion, even a little bit.
If she can teach someone else to play guitar, her introversion might ease a bit.
Yan Xi guessed Ijichi Honoka's thoughts, he knew her quite well, after all, she is a kind-hearted girl who can be called an 'angel'.
Unfortunately, her thoughts are unrealistic.
Goto Iori is not a regular introverted person, even if she can build relationships with others through teaching, she will return to her original state after a while.
One of the characteristics of introversion is that they are always the passive party!
"Can you?" Hirasawa Yui's eyes sparkled with anticipation, looking at Goto Iori.
"I...guess so?"
Goto Iori cried in her heart, I'm sorry, I can't refuse people!
Guitar and bass have many similarities, and Akiyama Mio in the Light Music Club can also help Hirasawa Yui get started.
But...it's still better to have a dedicated guitarist.
Akiyama Mio glanced at Goto Iori and thought, although this guitarist doesn't seem reliable.
Ah, no, how can I have such a rude thought!
It's clear that she's trying to help!
"Let me see your bass."
"AAAAAH!!!"
Yamada Ryo appeared behind Akiyama Mio, suddenly speaking, almost scaring Akiyama Mio's blue and white bowl wet!
