In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"But Shirakawa-san not only didn't say anything, she even helped me maintain my image..."

Shirakawa Sawa patted the chair next to him.

"Goto, please sit down first. We're classmates, and it makes me feel awkward for you to stand and talk to me."

Goto Ichiri responded and then sat down in a chair, facing Shirakawa Sawa, but his eyes were looking elsewhere.

Shirakawa Sawa put the guitar aside and then looked at the girl.

"Goto-kun, you don't need to be so negative about yourself."

"If you think my idea is correct, it means we have the same idea, not that you are completely useless."

"I just expressed my thoughts first."

"Also, I'm not really trying to completely protect your image or anything, I just feel that this is a matter for our whole class."

"As the two of us in charge, we need to be in agreement so that we can share our ideas with the students."

"So I don't think Goto is useless. Everyone has their own strengths, and there's no need to deny yourself just because you didn't do one thing well."

Shirakawa Ze gestured to the guitar he had placed to the side.

"For example, when it comes to playing the guitar, I'm nowhere near as good as you."

Upon hearing this, Yamada Ryo, who had been lying motionless on the sofa, sat up and looked at the two of them.

"Yes."

"So I had an idea."

She got up and walked over to the two of them.

"Let Xiao Gudu teach Xiao Ze guitar from now on. He needs a more professional person to guide him right now."

Goto Ichiri hurriedly waved his hands and shook his head, his eyes filled with fear. He wanted to refuse, but couldn't utter a word.

"me……"

Yamada Ryo patted her on the shoulder and gave her a thumbs up.

"Don't be afraid, little Lonely One. You play the guitar very well and are perfectly capable of handling it!"

"I'm entrusting Xiaoze to you from now on. Remember to treat him well..."

As Yamada Ryo said this, two tears welled up in his eyes.

After wiping away her tears, she turned to look at Shirakawa Ze, patted his shoulder, and said solemnly.

"Xiao Ze, practice hard with Xiao Gudu from now on, and don't let me down."

"Also, the referral fee is three thousand yen in total, please pay on the spot."

Volume 1: Chapter 54 Yamada Ryo Never Breaks His Promises

Shirakawa Sawa never expected that Yamada Ryo would have the same idea as him, so he naturally went along with it.

After learning guitar, he listened again to the performance videos posted by Ichiri Goto under the pseudonym "Guitar Hero".

I used to think it was pretty impressive, but I didn't really have a clear idea of ​​just how impressive it was.

But listening to it now gives a more direct feeling, like an insurmountable mountain.

So there shouldn't be any problem if the other party teaches him.

Shirakawa looked at Goto Ichiri with a serious expression.

"I am a beginner, so I am naturally not qualified to give any evaluations."

"But if Ryo-senpai thinks Goto-kun is capable of guiding me, then I definitely believe him one hundred percent."

"Even though you are my classmate, I will not disrespect you because of that when we are practicing guitar."

"So, Goto-kun, would you be willing to teach me guitar?"

You can mention the fees.

Goto Ichiri immediately waved his hand.

"Ah, well, no need for money. I'm already grateful that you're willing to let me teach you..."

Shirakawa's expression was slightly serious.

There is no such claim.

"Even though it was Goto who made the effort, you still have to say these words of thanks."

"Since you don't want to talk about money, that's fine too. Just like when I paid Liang's tuition, I'll buy you a new guitar as an initial tuition fee."

"If Goto continues to teach me, we can talk again."

Goto Ichiri was both shy and nervous.

"But my guitar is perfectly fine..."

Shirakawa Ze replied,

“That’s easy. I’ll give this money to Senior Hongxia in a bit and ask her to keep it safe.”

"Goto-kun, you can take it anytime if you need it."

Seeing the other party's firm attitude, Goto Ichiri didn't say anything more and quietly said "thank you".

Shirakawa Sawa straightened the music folder in front of him, then picked up his guitar and looked at Goto Ichiri.

"Goto-kun, let me play this piece I'm practicing first, and you can listen to it for me."

Goto Ichiri nodded, focused his attention, and his expression became serious.

After listening, she asked with some curiosity,

"If I remember correctly, Shirakawa-kun only started practicing guitar after the start of the semester, right?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

Goto Ichiri clapped his hands lightly.

"That Shirakawa-kun is quite amazing, he was able to train like this in just two weeks."

"The piece you just played wasn't actually that bad. Look, like this..."

After watching for a while, a hint of relief appeared in Yamada Ryo's eyes. Then he yawned and continued to curl up on the sofa to rest with his eyes closed.

When it was lunchtime, Yamada Ryo sat up from the sofa and looked at the two people practicing.

"Xiao Ze, Xiao Gudu, Hong Xia and the store manager went to a banquet and will probably be back later. We'll have to take care of lunch ourselves."

Shirakawa Sawa nodded, then looked at Goto Ichiri beside him.

"Goto-kun, Ryo-senpai said this morning that we wouldn't be having lunch together, so it's just the two of us eating together."

"What do you want to eat?"

Before Goto Ichiri could speak, Yamada Ryo stood up and walked up to the two of them.

"I never said that."

"There's a great seared tuna set meal at a nearby restaurant, it's only 3,000 yen, let's go try it."

"That's perfect, Xiaoze doesn't have to pay me a referral fee."

A slight smile appeared on Shirakawa's face. Compared to Yamada Ryo, who was slumped on the sofa in the morning with a somewhat gloomy demeanor, he was more used to his current slightly disdainful appearance.

Then he realized he had been too happy for a while.

Why did Yamada Ryo eat two more servings?

After showing off the second set meal, Yamada Ryo looked at Shirakawa Sawa, who was staring at him hesitantly, and spoke seriously.

"As a reward for you, is there anything you want, Ozawa? I'll do anything I can to help you."

Shirakawa Sawa remained expressionless.

"Really? Senior Ryo?"

Yamada Ryo said seriously,

"I never break a promise."

Shirakawa nodded, took out his phone, opened the calculator, added up the money the other person had gotten for the meal, and then turned the phone screen towards the other person.

"In that case, I hope Senior Liang can return the money for this meal to me."

"Of course, it's okay if you don't have money right now. I'll ask Senior Hongxia to deduct it from your salary."

Yamada Ryo slowly approached Shirakawa Sawa, put his arm around his shoulder, and then raised his hand to poke his face with his index finger.

"Xiao Ze, you're forcing me to break my promise."

"Absolutely heinous."

"However, considering that you treated me to dinner before, I won't pursue the matter further."

"Let's not bring this up again. We have no more grudges between us."

This move left Goto Ichiri completely dumbfounded. So that's how you say things?

After leaving the hotel, the three returned to STARRY, where Shirakawa Sawa continued practicing guitar under the guidance of Goto Ichiri.

Not long after, Ijichi Seika and Ijichi Nijika returned, the latter carrying several takeout boxes.

After seeing Shirakawa Sawa and Goto Ichiri, Iji Tomoko looked at her younger sister beside her.

"Now I don't have to worry about getting cold and starving."

Ichika Nijika laughed, greeted the two who were practicing guitar, then glanced at Yamada Ryo, and then at the trash can filled with breakfast wrappers.

"Let's save this food for this afternoon."

"It's just that the two lovely juniors have spent money again."

Goto Ichiri immediately shook his head.
