Although, just tell me if it’s rock and roll enough!

It's over, it's over!

There was no way to save him, so Hai Mingli stopped and put down his guitar helplessly:

"I'm so sorry for the accident during this performance. I was distracted."

The girl who just walked in from the door looked confused. She pointed at herself and asked, "Is it because of me?"

Everyone who was watching the performance knew that because the girl suddenly appeared and diverted Hai Mingli's attention, the abstract youth was a little slow, and the performance ended up bombing. However, Hai Mingli waved his hand and said, "It's not because of you, it's because I'm not good enough in skills."

He turned to look at Pochi-chan, "I'm a bad guy, Pochi-chan, do you still want me to teach you?"

ha?

Pochi immediately shook his head, then looked at Hai Mingli sincerely: "Teacher Hai, you are so strong!"

poor?

This is bad?

Being able to play old songs in a new way, is that bad?

Although the song is a little off-tune at the end, it’s definitely not because of you, Teacher Hai!

It's over. Pochi-chan suddenly became worried. Is the money in the piggy bank enough to pay for Mr. Hai's tuition?

The pink-haired girl was about to speak, but Hai Mingli beat her to the punch. He pointed at the blond-haired girl who had just entered the room and said, "Who is this..."

The store manager Xingge replied: "My sister, Hongxia."

No wonder the girl looks so similar to the store manager, they are sisters. Hai Mingli nodded and looked at the blonde girl: "Hai Mingli, nice to meet you."

"Hami Akari? Wait, is this the Hai Akari that Hiroi-san mentioned?!"

As Pochi-chan stared in confusion, the blonde girl suddenly got excited. She jumped directly onto the stage and then looked at the abstract young man like he was a toy.

"Hai Mingli... No, hello, Mr. Hai!" the girl said, "Um... come here..."

"Oh……"

Hai Mingli patted Pochi's shoulder and said, "Ask Pochi-chan!"

The blonde girl's eyes sparkled, and she rushed in front of the pink-haired girl, "Hey, hey, Pochi-chan, what's going on?!"

“Uh…eh…eh!”

The sudden enthusiasm rushed towards Pochi-chan, and the girl who had been in the negative role for a long time couldn't control herself for a moment and almost fainted.

...Hai Mingli saw this and quickly ran over to support the girl.

"Well... I want to repay Pochi-chan for helping me a few days ago. She wants me to teach her music, but..."

Hai Mingli freed one hand and scratched his head, "I think I messed up."

"Eh...did you mess up?"

Pochi asked nervously, clutching his clothes.

“…It’s smashed.”

Hai Mingli answered helplessly.

"But... Mr. Hai... I feel like this is just the beginning..."

I don’t know if it’s because both of them have social phobia, but on the stage, they were having an encrypted conversation with each other, which stunned the other three.

But at the same time, the yellow-haired girl standing next to her said: …

Are Pochi-chan and Mr. Hai... very familiar with each other?

"Ahem, well, if you don't mind me ruining the show just now, then I have no objection to guiding you."

Hai Mingli scratched his head, "When are you free, now?"

"We are free now. After all, we are here to make contact for the performance." Pochi-chan said, "So, Mr. Hai, please help me!"

"You changed your mind so quickly? As for today... I have nothing to do anyway, come on, come on..."

This is true. After practicing till he collapsed last night and going out to drink late at night, Hai Mingli is now in a trance and can't see the way forward. He plans to take a break and untie the knot in his heart first.

But Hong Xia, who was standing aside, said: …

Eh!

Is Pochi-chan very familiar with Mr. Hai?

How did they know each other!

curious!!!

The girl tried several times to interrupt the conversation between the two, but unfortunately, the young man and the girl were chatting very quickly, even using difficult to understand occult words occasionally.

As the Yang Jiao, Hong Xia found it difficult to synch up with the other two's brain waves, so she could only listen to their conversation, nodding her head and trying not to miss a word.

Seeing that Hai Mingli was having a great time with the girls, Hiroi Kikuri patted the store manager Xingge on the shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go out and play."

"……what?"

The store manager Xingge looked at the burgundy-haired young woman with a puzzled look on his face, then glanced at the abstract young man on the stage. His meaning was simple: Just leave this guy here?

Is this safe?

Haha, Hiroi Kikuri sneered and whispered to the store manager Xingge: "Let me tell you..."

"what?"

The store manager Xingge shook his head and said, "Is this true? This guy has lived with a girl for ten years, and he didn't have any thoughts during this period?"

Hiroi Kikuri said with a sad face: "Yes, this guy is so abstract. You can be his friend, his brother, or even his adoptive father, but it is impossible to have that kind of relationship."

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine if Pochi-chan stays here or something."

Besides… the burgundy-haired young man stretched lazily, “You haven’t gone out to play for a long time, right?”

While the people on the stage didn't react, two older women shrank their bodies and quietly walked out of the store.

"Shall we start practicing now? Sure," Hai Mingli said, "Shall we start?"

"and many more……"

Pochi-chan said timidly, "We still need two more people..."

Two more people missing?

Pochi-chan is really not good at the job of introducer. After all, a girl who stutters when talking to strangers, asking her to introduce others? It's terrible!

Hong Xia, who was standing by, saw that she could finally get a word in, so she quickly shouted, "Correct, there are still two people missing! Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo!"

The yellow-haired girl explained that these two were band members, one was a bassist and the other was a lead singer. The two of them, together with Pochi-chan and herself, formed the "Ending Band".

"How long have you been established?" Hai Mingli asked curiously.

"what……"

Hong Xia scratched her head, "Well... it's been less than half a month since the last team member came in..."

"Less than half a month...wait, how long did you say?"

Hai Mingli was confused. Less than half a month? This band was formed too hastily!

"Okay, I have answered all the questions I need to answer! It's your turn, Mr. Hai!"

The girl said in a playful tone, "So, how did you and Pochi-chan... meet?!"

Hemingway: ...

We met over the drinks, he nodded shamelessly and said, because I have a group of drunken bad friends, they summoned the "drunken savior", and the drunken savior summoned me.

"Drunk savior... Do you mean Pochi-chan?"

The blond girl turned her head to look at the pink-haired girl. Hey, does Pochi-chan have this nickname?

"It was Miss Hiroi who called me that," Hai Mingli waved her hand, "I just answered according to what she said."

"……Uh-huh!"

The socially anxious girl didn't say anything, she just nodded frantically to show that she agreed with Hai Mingli's words.

"No... this way of meeting is a bit abstract..."

Hai Mingli stood up and said, "Stop talking nonsense. How about... we start training first?"

……

"Drummers, get ready, bassists, get ready, guitarists, get ready!"

In the audience, Hai Mingli raised his hands high. With a wave of his hand, the band's performance began.

"Huh..." Hong Xia sighed so softly that it was almost inaudible.

"3, 2, 1..."

Hai Mingli clapped his hands, "Action!"

The guitarist, Pochi-chan, began to play, and the bassist, the blue-haired girl, moved the bass strings with her fingers.

but……

When Hai Mingli heard this, he felt something was wrong. He looked up and saw Hong Xia playing the drums, but it was obvious that she was half a beat late.

"Stop," Hai Mingli called out to everyone, "Well, let's do it again."

……

There were issues again in the drum area.

"Stop for a moment, everyone," Hemingway said, "Well, let's do it again."

……

"Excuse me, please do it again..."

……

Something is wrong...

For Pochi-chan, her training goal is simple - just learn the songs of Ershoumeigui and learn their style.

But for Hong Xia, she has a lot to think about...

"Pochi-chan! Nijika-chan! We're leaving first!"

After the training, the red-haired girl stood far away at the door, waving her hands and shouting towards the stage from afar.

"Wow...thank you, Pochi-chan! If you owe me money, please give me an extension or something!"

The blue-haired girl was carrying a bass on her back and holding a handful of grass in her hand. If Pochi hadn't taken out 1000 yen from her pocket and gave it to the girl, she would have had to eat grass to survive...

These two...are they the Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo that Hongxia mentioned?

Just now, Hai Mingli was only concerned with guiding the girls in rehearsal, and didn't focus on chatting with them. It wasn't until the two girls in the team left that Hai Mingli slapped his head and thought, oh, I forgot something, I should ask the girls about their thoughts on ending the band.

The first rehearsal is over. How should I put it? It is in line with Hai Mingli's idea - we are all rookies, we all need to practice.

Except for the bassist and Pochi-chan.

There is no need to say much about the bassist Yamada Ryo. Looking at the serious look on the girl's face during the performance, you can tell at a glance that she is a veteran.

At that time, Hai Mingli asked curiously, and learned that the girl was a sophomore in high school, one year older than Pochi-chan and the others. The abstract young man nodded and said, no wonder the girl was fearless in the face of danger. The seniors are always more mature than the juniors.

Pochi-chan... She was really beyond Hai Mingli's expectations. Even though she was always timid and trembled all over no matter what she did, like a kitten whose tail was stepped on, her guitar skills were really amazing and of very high standard.

If Hai Mingli were blindfolded and asked to listen to the person talking about the guitar, he would probably give the answer on the spot:

——This guy has been in this industry for at least four years, otherwise he wouldn’t be at this level.

Is this a talented player?

Relatively speaking, the other two girls are worse...

Kita Ikuyo is a newcomer, and Hai Mingli doesn't have high expectations for her, just like a programmer writing code, as long as it can run.

but……

The abstract young man looked at Hong Xia behind the drum set. Something was wrong. How could this guy be so untalented as the founder of a band?

The blond girl felt Hai Mingli's burning gaze and could not help but lower her head and bury herself deeply in the drum set.
