When I’m in a music show, I just want to make music seriously!

"Ah, this, that, ah..."

She made an unknown sound and found that she had no way of snatching the right to speak from the three or four people.

Even more than this, seeing several people coming together and walking in front of his seat, Goto Ichiri even felt that he was too much of a nuisance here.

I'm so sorry to interrupt your conversation with Sakagami-san! I'm so sorry for trying to steal your chance to be friends with Sakagami-san! I've realized I was overestimating myself!

Goto Ichiri immediately stood up and hid in the toilet to avoid being told by a few people chatting later, "Ah, Goto-san, could you please move aside? You're blocking our conversation with Taku-san." If such a thing really happened, she felt that she would face true death in a sense.

It was not until after school in the afternoon that Goto Ichiri realized that none of his plans had been implemented.

On the way back, Goto Ichiri suddenly felt that his life was a failure.

I clearly want to be like those band members on TV, to be cheerful and popular and have many friends, but I don’t even have the courage to take the first step.

When passing by a music equipment store, Goto Ichiri looked at the guitar inside the glass, and seemed to see himself through the glass, carrying a bag and wearing very old-fashioned clothes.

Well, it's normal that I can't make friends like this. After all, choosing a pop star like Sakagami to make friends is basically the beginning of hell. If I want to find someone, I should find someone like her who stays in a corner and is not noticed.

No, that would just be two poor stray dogs keeping each other warm.

However, just when Goto Ichiri fell into such a lost state, a doubtful voice called her back.

"Goto-san? Are you here to buy a musical instrument as well?"

Goto Ichiri shuddered and immediately looked around.

Who discovered her?

No, hide quickly.

Meeting someone you know on the street is the thing that people with social anxiety fear the most and find the most troublesome.

I don’t know what to say when I say hello, but it seems impolite to say nothing, and it would be awkward if we meet eyes. Instead of that, I might as well pretend I don’t know and just run away!

She turned around and ran away immediately, but because she was too panicked, her left foot tripped over her right foot.

Ah! Damn it! I actually made such a stupid mistake at such a critical moment!

Goodbye, my life. I may be the first person to fall down in front of others.

But soon, Goto Ichiri felt someone pulling her clothes, stopping her from falling to the ground.

"Are you okay...? And why did you panic when I called you? Am I the Grim Reaper coming to take your life?"

Only then did Goto Ichiri notice that the person standing behind him was none other than Sakagami Taku.

But the current situation was really awkward. She was like a shaky doll, with Taku Sakagami holding on to her clothes to prevent her from falling.

What are you saying, my mouth!!!

Goto Ichiri's demeanor suddenly changed, and like an NPC, he asked in a flat voice, "Have you eaten?"

Sakagami Taku: “…”

Does this trigger the NPC mission plot?

24. I feel like being kept by a rich woman is the best way to pay off my debts.

Obviously, the first live was a success, and the performance of Shoko Toyokawa and others far exceeded Sakagami Taku's expectations.

Moreover, in Sakagami Taku's opinion, their proficiency in musical instruments can reach professional standards with a little practice.

After the performance ended yesterday, Takuya Sakagami has been paying close attention to the subsequent developments of this live show.

Most of the comments in the community are praises, with a few complaints. However, the world is so big that it is impossible to satisfy everyone. If we can reach more than 90% satisfaction, it is already a top level.

Very good, everything is developing as Sakagami Taku expected.

The next step is to determine the type of band, and temporarily follow this direction to gain fans and popularity. After it gradually grows, find a company to cooperate in promotion.

Plus, there are so many beautiful girls in the band, so they can definitely go the idol band route. Sakagami Taku is still very confident about his appearance.

Seeing that there was great hope, Taku Sakagami made a bold decision.

He wants to go all in and buy a good guitar!

Although the cheap guitar left by my parents in the dilapidated cottage can still be used, it is definitely not good enough for a live performance.

That broken guitar was a gift from the original owner's parents on his birthday. Now it has more meaning than being a real instrument.

Although live houses also have rental guitars, they need to be manually tuned every time and the quality varies.

This month, Taku Sakagami worked for Shoko Toyokawa for a total of 25 hours, earning him 50,000 yen, all in cash.

In addition, every time he trained, he could often get free food and drinks. Either Su Shi would feed him, or Li Xi or someone else would feed him. There was almost no expense, and the salary for his work was also paid.

It's about 100,000 yen, which is enough to buy a mid-to-high-end guitar.

Taku Sakagami plans to go to the store to try it out before making a decision.

A guitar is like clothes. It’s useless to just look at it. You still have to put it into use.

After school, he took advantage of the fact that he had no place to work today and looked for a good guitar store.

However, just after Sakagami Taku noticed a shop, he discovered that there was a familiar pink-haired figure at the door of the shop.

Isn't that Goto Ichiri sitting behind him?

Taku Sakagami noticed that the other person was standing in front of the glass in a daze.

He walked up and greeted him, then his eyes moved to the other side of the glass that Goto Ichiri had just been staring at in a daze.

A Gibson guitar?

It’s indeed a good brand.

Taku Sakagami is certainly knowledgeable about guitar brands. If Ichiri Goto also likes to play guitar, it wouldn't be surprising if he stood in front of the glass and stared at the guitar.

Taku Sakagami even noticed the price on the guitar.

One hundred and sixty thousand?

Hmm? Wait, how much!?

Taku Sakagami's eyes widened. Gibson is indeed a high-end brand. The quality of this guitar is obviously good, which even makes Taku Sakagami feel itchy.

But if he buys high-end brands, he will lose all the cash he has saved with great difficulty.

Thinking back to yesterday's live performance, Sakagami Taku decided to go all out.

The main reason is that he doesn't have an urgent need for a guitar now, so buying one means it will be used entirely for the band.

Forget it, all in! All in is a kind of wisdom!

Back then, Chen Daozi was able to win 37 million with only 20 yuan. Today, it is not a problem for me, Taku Sakagami, to win 1 billion with only 160,000 yuan.

Back to reality, looking at the pink-haired girl in front of him who was trying to escape in a panic, Sakagami Taku was speechless. Has this social phobia become completely ingrained?

Seeing Goto Ichiri fall flat on the ground, Sakagami Taku quickly grabbed her clothes, fortunately preventing her from hitting her face on the ground.

Despite the other party's stiff opening, Sakagami Taku decided to initiate the conversation: "Is Goto-san also interested in this guitar?"

Come to think of it, he still didn't know how good Goto Ichiri's skills were. She had brought a guitar to the classroom many times, but he had never seen her use it once.

When talking about guitar, Goto Ichiri's eyes became noticeably clearer.

In her professional field, she can still say something:

"Ah, a little, a little bit."

"I want to buy a guitar next, so I'd like to go to this store. I saw you standing at the door for a long time. How about we go together?"

When he heard Sakagami Taku's invitation, Goto Ichiri subconsciously wanted to escape. Going shopping together to buy a guitar or something was simply impossible!

But soon, Goto Ichiri remembered why she was standing there just now. She tried hard to restrain her urge to run away, although in fact she didn't dare to run away in front of him so rudely.

And this is a good opportunity!

You have to know that this is the only way for her to go home. She is very familiar with the shops on this road. If you ask her what is next to each shop, she knows it clearly.

This is a good opportunity to start a conversation and make friends.

So, after some ideological struggle, Goto Ichiri nodded his head somewhat stiffly and softly.

This is the limit of what she can do.

Although she seemed to be somewhat resistant but still agreed for some reason, Sakagami Taku still took the lead and walked in: "Then let's go together."

But soon, Goto Ichiri began to regret it. Although they came in together, how should he recommend it to Sakagami?

If she didn't speak all the way, she would explode with embarrassment.

And Goto Ichiri had no idea what price range of guitar Taku Sakagami wanted.

"I want a guitar worth around 100,000 yuan. Does Goto-san know anything about it?"

After hearing what Sakagami Taku said, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in Goto Ichiri's originally closed eyes.

Can Sakagami-san read minds?

Absolutely!

"For ten, a hundred thousand yen, Fender is pretty good."

She has some knowledge of guitar brands, but because she has no money, she has never bought a guitar. The one she uses is the one given to her by her father.

She wanted to work part-time to earn money, but when she thought about facing many strangers, Goto Ichiri felt that she might be complained by customers because of her poor social skills, and then be caught by the police and accused of violating the law, and finally be shot.

Sakagami Taku made a sound of "I understand" and then walked to the Fender area to look around.

He actually already knew about the brand, he was just looking for a topic to talk about. Otherwise, it would be too awkward for the two of them to go shopping here together without saying a word.

Soon, Sakagami Taku spotted a pretty good guitar inside. He said to the boss, "Can I take a look at this?"

"Yes, if you need a sound check, there's a dedicated room in the store. Just remember to wash your hands before and after."

"Ok."

Goto Ichiri was also looking at the guitar chosen by Sakagami Taku with some curiosity.

Noticing her gaze, Sakagami Taku took the initiative and said, "How about we go to the audition room together?"

"......Um."

On the way to wash his hands, Sakagami Taku asked, "What brand of guitar did Goto-san bring the other day?"

Perhaps because of Sakagami Taku's soft voice, or because they were talking about music, Goto Ichiri felt she could speak a little more, though her tone and voice were a little low: "Gibson Les Paul Custom."

So that's it, it's from Gibson. Speaking of which, Gibson is also a big brand. Haha, before, I just looked at it on the computer and satisfied my eyes, and I didn't dare to think about it...

Huh? Ahhh!!!!!!??????

Sakagami Taku's eyes widened and he looked at Goto Ichiri suddenly: "What?"

Is it that Gibson that costs over a million yen!?

I'm still debating whether to buy a high-end brand guitar, but you're already using a top-notch one?

Are you also a rich woman who came from the collapse of some group?

Taku Sakagami decided to search the surname Goto when he had time to see if he was also a member of a big chaebol.

This world is so scary, there are rich women everywhere. I suddenly feel that being a musician is not as fast as being supported by a rich woman to pay off debts.

Goto Ichiri was startled by him and repeated subconsciously: "Ji, Ji, Gibson——"

As I was talking, it was like the computer froze and I couldn't say anything.

"Ah, sorry, sorry, I was a little impulsive. Mainly because this brand is so powerful that it surprised me."

It was the first time that Goto Ichiri saw Sakagami Taku so surprised.

It turns out that the guitar her father gave her is so amazing.

Sakagami Taku quickly added, "Speaking of which, how are your guitar skills?"

Speaking of this, Goto Ichiri wanted to puff out his chest with pride, saying that he was a 'guitar hero' with 30,000 fans and that his skills were undoubtedly top-notch. But when the words reached his lips, they changed their tone: "It's, it's not bad, I think."

She recalled Sakagami Taku's performance on stage and thought that she should be able to do the same?

Ichiri Goto, who had never worked with anyone before, guessed that he would be just as strong if he worked with others.

"So do you want to audition with us later? We've already washed our hands, so it would be a waste not to try it out."
