Chapter 18: Rehearsal
"Yo, good afternoon, Xingge senior, Miss Sound Engineer, what about them?"
As soon as I walked into "Stars", I noticed that only the senior singer and the sound engineer were sitting on the chairs in front of the stage, and it seemed that the venue had begun to clear early.
What is the name of the sound engineer? When I asked her before, she just said a "secret" to send me away...... It tickles my heart.
"Huh? Is Yu Zuojun to be the judge? Kikuri is going to an izakaya again~"
Miss Sound Engineer propped her elbows on the table, squinting and revealing a lazy smile:
"They're getting ready in the background right now...... Yu Zuojun will come over and sit together first."
I nodded in response, and asked as I sat next to Xingge senior:
"This rehearsal is over, and there is no time to arrange a performance next month, has the senior of Xingge already arranged it before this?"
"I don't know if they'll be able to make it through this rehearsal, but if it's still as bad as it was when I first came here in April, let's play the band honestly."
Looking at Xingge's predecessor's somewhat sluggish magnetic levitation dullness, this senior is definitely speechless......
"Yu Zuojun doesn't know anything~ Actually, Xingge, she has always vacated the schedule of "End Band"~"
"Less verbose! Be careful to fry your squid!"
"Hi~I know~"
「…… I've said before that Xingge senior, you're a sister, right...... The predecessors are still dead, and the duck has a hard mouth......
I was talking so vigorously that I didn't notice that the sound engineer was shaking her head frantically at me not far away.
「…… So seniors, you should be honest, so that the sisters ...... It hurts!"
My head suddenly popped up, and I subconsciously covered my headache and exhaled.
「…… Next time, I'll put you on the "starry" blacklist!"
"I...... I know! I'm sorry!"
After knowing that today was just a formality, I also relaxed a lot, otherwise I wouldn't dare to provoke Xingge seniors who seemed to be in a bad mood at this juncture.
At the same time, the spotlights on the stage lit up, and the four girls held their respective musical instruments, and Kita-san, with a nervous expression, said slowly:
"Next, listen to Guitar and Loneliness and the Blue Planet...... Alas? Kawakami ......"
It seemed that the four girls were a little surprised to see me coming, so I had to quickly put my index finger to my lips to signal that they didn't care about me, and straightened their bodies to make a serious appearance of listening to the song.
Kita-san, who understood my hint, turned his head to look at Ijichi, and after receiving the signal, he began to play:
Sudden drop る Xi 立あぁ傘もないや嫌,
The sudden sunset rain made me fed up with not bringing an umbrella,
空のご機嫌なんか知らない,
What does the mood of the sky have to do with me,
季節の変わり目の服は何着りゃいいんだろ,

As if the chaotic rhythm was shouting silently,

With this body with a radius of 300mm, I played the guitar desperately,

Doesn't that just make my ugly shadow more visible?

Why is my heart so hot that I can't stop,

Just want to be, I want to be, I want to be, whoever I want,
馬鹿なわたしは歌うだけ,
Ignorant and ignorant, I can only sing aloud,
ぶちまけちゃおうか星に,
Tell me everything, to the stars.
……
With Kita-san's singing and the roar of guitars, basses, and drums, the performance slowly ended. The huge hall was silent, and the girls were sweating and waiting for the final result with anxiety......
「…… Yes, yes."
The expected ending......
I turned my head to look at Xingge's senior trying to make a serious look, and his personality was still a little bad...... Seniors, what do you see how scared them......
"Great——!
The girls shouted for joy on the stage, and only Ichichi sat behind the drum and watched Ichiri fall into deep thought...... Sure enough, I haven't recognized it yet, Yidi knows, it's just a joke to say that you're stupid or something.
"Uh-woo--grub grub glove ......"
Ichiri, who was pale, suddenly covered his mouth, ran off the stage and vomited.
"A lot of stomach acid is ......"
"Are you alright? The guitar is playing very well."
After grabbing a glass of warm water from the water dispenser, I walked over to Yili, who was half-kneeling and vomiting, and handed hot water to her.
"Thank you...... Thank you......"
"Tons and tons" drank a long sigh of relief after drinking the warm water in one go, and looked at me gratefully.
Seeing that Ichili had eased up, I retreated to the side of Xingge's senior, and whispered:
"Ichiri, she plays well, right?"
「…… Why do you want me to compliment you on your girlfriend?"
"When did you become my girlfriend?!"
"Tsk, I haven't seen you praise Hong Xia for playing well......
Xingge's senior's dead fish eyes inexplicably became sharp, and I couldn't help but take a step back, a powerful aura called "Generational Suppression" pressed me to move.
Seeing that I was stunned, Xingge senior gave me a disdainful look with a disdainful expression of "fight with me, you are still a hundred years early". Then he said to the girls:
"The ticket requirement is 1,500 yen × 24 tickets, so you have to sell 6 tickets per person!"
I turned my head to look at a mile...... Sure enough, she was stupid, so she said that her predecessor's heart was black, and she was given such an impossible task.
"Goto-san's tears of joy ...... you!"
"Then let's put on a great show~"
