Chapter 60: Poor modern man bewitched by numbers
「…… What are you doing? Do you play a game of sit-down and fruit-eating?"
I had just finished the Christmas rehearsal, and I said goodbye to the Shima-senpai and turned backstage to open the door to the lounge, only to see the four little ones and the people of SIDEROS sitting on the sofa with their heads bowed, as if they had been silent for a while.
"Whew...... saved."
It seemed that my arrival had shattered this strange atmosphere, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, and even their sitting postures began to become casual.
Is it because I'm too nervous?
I scratched my head and handed the hot water bottle in my hand to Yuyoko-senpai:
"I haven't slept much in the past two days, No, everything is ready for you."
"At the critical moment, I still have to rely on Yu Zuo, I have to trouble you so much every time......
Yoyoko-senpai took the hot water bottle in my hand, swayed towards the unmanned sofa, and put the hot water bottle on her back on top of her eyes.
"Uh...... So happy~"
"Huh?"
Hongxia was stunned for a moment when she saw me handing the water bag to Yoyoko's seniors so skillfully:
"That...... What happened to Miss Otsuki?"
"Oh, you said senior."
Seeing that the sofa was already occupied by them, I had to sit at the feet of Yoyoko's senior and said:
"She couldn't sleep for three days before every performance, and I think she's always in bad spirits, so here in Shinjuku she always has an ice pack and a hot water bottle...... Speaking of which, my coffee drinking habits were all infected by my predecessors."
"You weren't staring at us!! Is it because your eyes are already wooden?!"
"Ah......? Why am I staring at you...... There are no flowers on the face."
The senior of Yoyoko, who was originally making a "snoring" sound in his mouth, leaned back on the sofa and said to Hongxia sleepily:
"End the band."
"Huh? In!"
"Don't think that just because you're a guest, you can compare to SIDEROS. I said in advance that I have 10,000 followers in Little Blue Bird."
After saying these words, the Yoyoko senior showed a child's smug smile:
"With so many people following me, I guess it's the Makuhari Pavilion of the rock world¹!"
"Ahh
Yamada-senpai is perfunctory as always, but Kita-san is rummaging for something on her mobile phone:
"Me too...... I think it's because I was recently selected as a popular post, and I have 15,000 followers on Instagram......
Hey, that's not the level of a budokan.
I don't know why the number of followers has become the number of attendees, but it's a bit easier to calculate.
"-Tsk! And what about Ichiri Goto? It can't be more than the Budokan Museum, right?!"
"Ah...... Recently, there are almost 50,000 followers......
"Three, three Tokyo Domes²?!"
"Ahaha......"
Yuyoko's senior turned his body towards the sofa with some embarrassment:
「…… Well, as a musician, shouldn't you be competing with your performance skills?"
"Didn't you start saying it yourself!!"
Miss Hasegawa, who was wearing a black mask, explained to Rainbow Natsu:
「…… That's it. Otsuki-senpai is terrible at communication, so interpersonal relationships are not going well."
"I see...... I didn't expect Miss Otsuki, a popular band, to be so nervous."
"Of course. Even professional musicians are somewhat scared before they go on the stage."
Senior Yoyoko turned around, pulled open half of the hot water bottle and looked at Hongxia:
"If you want to continue to climb the ladder as a band, then this tension will stay with you for the rest of your life...... It's to minimize these stresses that I do so much in my sleep time."
"That's why I admire Yuyoko's seniors very much......
I LEANED BACK ON THE COUCH AND FLIPPED THROUGH THE PREVIOUS SIDEROS SINGING VIDEOS:
"Obviously, every time I'm sleepy, I'm about to fall asleep on stage, and I can still hold up half an eye and continue to play, but ordinary people really can't do it......
"Don't reveal my black history again, okay......
Yuyoko's predecessor sighed and immediately changed the topic:
「…… Kazuri Goto、And the end band。 In order not to let your low mood affect the performance of our side, let me say a word...... Tsk, I don't really want to admit it, but you did a better rehearsal than any of you I've seen so far. As long as you play normally as usual, you will definitely succeed. You must remember—"
Yuyoko-senpai sat up, took off the hot water bottle and said to them:
"The effort will not be betrayed."
"Ah...... Thank you very much!"
"Hum ......"
Just now, the senior of Youyouzi, who had just finished a wave and poured a bowl of poisonous chicken soup to others, was obviously in a much better mood, and said with some pride in his arms:
"But if you want to catch up with me, you have to practice at least 6 hours a day......
"Wow~ It's really good! Yuyuko Senpai, please take a look at this! It's amazing~"
"Huh?"
Miss Uchida handed the phone to Yuyuko-senpai, and when I turned my head to see it, it was the guitar solo that Ichiri had uploaded earlier.
「…… What?! It's not a single person on the stage, okay?!!
Senior Yoyoko grabbed his mobile phone in disbelief and listened carefully:
「…… How, how is it possible...... It's already at the level of a professional guitarist......
"Ah......? Thanks for the compliment?"
"What are you complimenting...... If you can play so well, why don't you play it like this on stage......
Returning the phone to Miss Uchida, Yuyuko-senpai turned into ashes and fell on the sofa like a burned candle.
"Ichiri is not very good at band ensembles, just run in more, it's normal."
I poured a cup of coffee for Yoyoko-senpai:
"Drink, you won't be sleepy in a while."
「…… I always feel like I'm going to fall asleep before I'm sleepy."
Senior Yoyoko took a sip of coffee slowly, squinted at the four little ones and said slowly:
"You're going to play, since there are domes and martial arts halls, there must be no problem, well, I'm sure!"
"Your reason for being sure is outrageous."
…… Hongxia was about to vomit all the grooves I wanted to vomit, and I felt so uncomfortable......
"It's noisy! If you have time, hurry up and go on stage?!"
"I'm sorry——!"
As the door to the lounge was closed, the Yuyoko senior, who had pretended to be fierce, looked at the door and slowly showed a smile.
"The seniors are really not honest, obviously I like them very much."
"You know what...... Speaking of Yu Zuo, you also have an account on YouTube, right? How many fans?"
"Oh, this."
I took out my phone and opened my account to look at it, and my expression became subtle:
"Yuyuko-senpai...... Do you really want me to say it?"
"Don't worry, I won't laugh at you~"
"Ugh...... 17.5w。」
"Uh-huh~17......??? Wait, 17.5w?!!"
As if hearing the heartbroken voice of Yuyoko's senior, she snatched my phone and kept refreshing it on the homepage of my account unacceptably:
"Uh...... For...... Why...... I thought it ......would 10,000 is enough ......."
