Zongman: There are a few beautiful girls who like me

At the same time, perhaps because she was worried about being separated by the crowded crowd, Yana subconsciously reached out and grabbed Kitagawa Yu's...sleeve.

"probably."

Beichuan You said this casually, but his heart was slightly moved.

Now that there is such a good opportunity, should he take the initiative and directly achieve the goal of holding hands with Yanami Anna?

If they really hold hands, will Yanami Kyouna notice his little thoughts and guess that he likes her?

Although it is obvious that Hakamada Kusuke is in love with Himemiya Karen now, he is also having an ambiguous relationship with Shirakawa Tsukiai in private.

But as long as Hakamada Sosuke has not officially started dating one of these two people, Yanami Anna will not give up on Hakamada Sosuke.

At that time, given Yanami Anna's view on love, she might deliberately keep a distance from him to avoid suspicion.

This is obviously not what he wants to see.

so......

"Even if we want to hold hands, we need the right timing and enough acting skills!" Kitagawa Yu thought secretly.

Just at this moment, Yana saw Xingcai suddenly said in confusion: "Strange, why is the lead singer of the band still holding a box of milk on stage? Aren't they going to perform soon?"

"Carton of milk?"

Kitagawa Yu, who was originally secretly watching Yanajian Anna to find the opportunity to attack, was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously looked back at the stage.

Then he saw the female lead singer who had just come on stage with her companions and was standing at the front of the band as Yanami Anna mentioned. At this time, she was holding the shoulder strap of the bass with one hand and holding a "box of milk" in the other, drinking it wildly and heroically.

This made him stunned again, and then his pupils trembled and his eyes widened.

"Oh my god! Is it her!?"

"Huh? You know this guy who's drinking milk even on stage?"

Yana saw Xingcai turned her head to look at Kitagawa Yu, and after seeing Kitagawa Yu's shocked expression, she couldn't help but become even more curious.

"Well... I guess we know each other..."

Kitagawa Yuu came back to his senses with a strange look in his eyes, and explained: "This guy is the lead singer and bassist of SICK HACK band, Hiroi Kikuri. The main style of their band is erotic rock, and it is considered one of the most popular bands in the 'underground independent band' circle. As for the plastic box in her hand... that's not milk, it's Japanese sake."

"Huh? Japanese sake!?"

"Yes, this guy is a drunkard. He will never leave his alcoholic body as long as he is alive."

"..."

Yanajian Kyouna finally understood why Kitagawa Yu had that strange expression of shock.

Because after listening to Kitagawa Yu's introduction, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, showing the same expression as Kitagawa Yu, and felt very puzzled.

"I can understand drinking milk, but why drink alcohol? Alcohol is so unpalatable~"

"...Please! Drinking milk on stage is also very unique~"

Beichuan You didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but then he had an idea and continued to introduce: "But we are lucky to hear her performance today. Fan rock is a very niche rock genre nowadays, and SICK HACK is already the top 1 band in this field-"

Having said that, Beichuan You couldn't help but suppress the nervousness that made his heart feel like it was about to jump out of his chest, and quickly adjusted his breathing and facial expression.

While still looking at Hiroi Kikuri, he reached out and held Yanami Kyouna's hand.

"——Let's get closer. This is my first time listening to psychedelic rock live."

Before he finished speaking, Kitagawa Yu had already pushed away the crowd in front of him with one hand, and with the other hand, pulled Yanami Anna and quickly squeezed to the front.

At the same time, Anai Yanami, who was very sensitive to social distance and physical contact, was stunned the moment her little hand was held in Kitagawa Yu's palm.

You know, since she entered elementary school, she has never held hands with any boy, including Hakamada Kusuke!

Even this kind of 'unintentional' hand holding has never happened before!

“Yu——”

When Yana saw Xingna calling her softly subconsciously, she felt a tremor as if an electric current passed through her petite body, and her heart seemed to stop beating.

At this moment, Yana saw Xingcai looking up blankly at the profile of Kitagawa Yu, her body subconsciously following Kitagawa Yu moving forward, her mind going blank.

Until Kitagawa Yu, who pretended not to hear or notice anything, finally pulled her through the crowd to the edge of the stage, and then, suppressing the increasingly restless heartbeat due to subconscious holding of breath and the strong reluctance in his heart, he pretended nothing had happened and took the initiative to let go of her slightly cold but very soft little hand.

Her completely shut down brain finally started to function again and her heart started beating again.

However, the powerful guitar and bass sounds, as well as Hiroi Kikuri's unique singing style, still could not get close to her ears which were firmly occupied by the sound of her own heartbeat.

Everything around her, including the colorful lights, seemed to become dim and blurred. Only the tall and handsome figure of Kitagawa Yu was still reflected clearly in her pupils and imprinted in her heart.

"You...just now...it shouldn't be intentional, right?"

"Yeah...that's right...Yu definitely didn't do it on purpose...otherwise...he wouldn't have let go so quickly just now..."

"But... this is my first time holding hands with a boy..."

Yana saw that Kyouna's mind was in a mess.

It was at this time that she suddenly realized that if she didn't count the time when she took a bath with Hakamada Sosuke when she was two or three years old, she would go to school hand in hand with Hakamada Sosuke when she was four years old and in kindergarten, and she would accompany Hakamada Sosuke to buy computer games alone when she was in elementary school.

The boy she held hands with for the first time, kissed indirectly for the first time, and even the first time she went out to eat or go shopping with him alone was all Kitagawa Yu!

I’ve only known Yu Kitagawa for less than a week!

"Why... we've only known each other for less than a week..."

Yana saw Xingcai staring at Kitagawa Yuu blankly, and her head was like a fast-forwarded movie, replaying scenes from the past week rapidly.

Then she suddenly realized that in the past week, she had spent more time with Kitagawa Yu than with Hakamada Sosuke!

Moreover, the scenes with Hakamada Sosuke have long become blurry, but almost every frame with Kitagawa Yu is still extremely clear.

Chapter 80: On Stage (Fourth update, please subscribe~~)

"This must be because You and I just met, and it's still relatively new, so I remember it more clearly, right?"

Yana saw that Xingcai hurriedly found a reason that seemed very reasonable for herself, and then...she just stared at Kitagawa Yuu in a trance, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, and her head gradually gave up thinking.

It was not until Hiroi Kikuri on the stage had unknowingly finished singing the first song that Kitagawa Yu turned around and asked her how she felt.

She then hurriedly looked away, and then a hint of shyness dyed her cheeks red.

"Well...it's...it's just okay...I feel like it's not as good as your singing..." Yanajian Xingna said in a soft voice.

Her little hands habitually rubbed the ends of her hair, twisting them into thin strands and then spreading them out again. If it weren't for the wrong position, Kitagawa You would have thought that the silly hair on the top of her head was rubbed out by herself.

However, although she didn't really listen to Hiroi Kikuri's first song just now, she really felt that Kitagawa Yu's singing was better.

Both the "Romance on a Whim" at the beginning and the "Horizontal Line" later touched her particularly, coupled with the indescribable strange feeling in her heart, at this moment, when she thought of Kitagawa You singing, she suddenly felt that Kitagawa You was so handsome and his singing was so beautiful.

"Yeah--"

Beichuan You looked at her cute and shy face and his heart beat fast for a moment. He almost couldn't help but reach out and pull her into his arms.

However, in order to avoid irritating her, Beichuan You still took a deep breath silently, and tried very hard to endure it. He deliberately showed a little narcissism and said carelessly: "I think so~"

Then......

"Then young man, would you like to come up and sing for a bit?"

Before Yana could see Xingna speak again, a voice with a strong smell of alcohol suddenly sounded above their heads, scaring her and Kitagawa Yu.

Then when the two of them hurriedly raised their heads and looked over, they suddenly discovered that Hiroi Kikuri was squatting on the edge of the stage, looking at them with a smile. It looked like she had most likely heard their conversation just now.

This is indeed the case. Although Kitagawa Yu and Yanami Kyouna did not speak loudly just now, because they were right next to the stage and Hiroi Kikuri had very sharp ears, their conversation was still heard clearly by Hiroi Kikuri.

At this point, if it were any other band, they would probably just pretend not to hear it. After all, there are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people, so it's normal for some people not to like their songs.

What's more, not all of the more than 300 audience members at the scene were there to watch their band's performance.

However, as an unreliable, eccentric, and somewhat mischievous drunkard, she would of course tease the "talkative" couple to liven up the atmosphere.

Yes, in Hiroi Kikuri's opinion, the conversation between Kitagawa Yuu and Yanami Anai is obviously that of a young couple.

To be honest, as she has been solo since her first pregnancy, she is still a little envious.

But in this case, Yana would be Spartan when she saw Kyouna.

As Hiroi Kikuri spoke, everyone around them looked at her and Kitagawa Yu.

This made Yana Kenkai, who had never been stared at by so many people with such scrutinizing and curious eyes, feel very uneasy. She subconsciously moved closer to Kitagawa Yu and reached out to hug his arm.

——Well, since we’ve already held hands, it’s no big deal to hug your arm for protection...right?

Yana, realizing what she had done, saw Anna acting like an ostrich encountering danger, and could not help but bury her head a little lower. Her heartbeat, which had just slowed down a little, became rapid and flustered again, and her rosy cheeks became even hotter.

At this moment, Kitagawa Yu, who was originally frowning and disliked Hiroi Kikuri for being nosy, suddenly changed his mood and almost couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Hiroi Kikuri.

At the same time, the idea in his head that he had originally intended to reject was quickly replaced by another new idea as his heart moved.

"Okay~"

After saying this, Kitagawa Yu turned around and smiled and touched Yanajian Xingna's head, giving her a look that said 'Don't be afraid, watch my show', and then, without waiting for Yanajian Xingna to react, he handsomely jumped onto the stage in front of him which was more than one meter high, in front of everyone's astonished gazes.

"Huh? You really want to sing?" This time it was Hiroi Kikuri's turn to blink with a silly look on her face, and she couldn't help burping after she finished speaking.

"Yeah~ Didn't you invite me to sing~"

As he spoke, Kitagawa Yu had already come to the guitarist Shimizu Elisa, and said to this British girl with a sweet face and a proud figure, whose devil fruit was at least F-level, and who loved ACG culture, "Can you lend me your guitar?"

"of course can!"

Elisa Shimizu, who liked to watch the fun, immediately showed an excited expression after she reacted. She handed the electric guitar in her hand to Kitagawa Yu, and at the same time gave him the microphone in front of her and the effects pedal under her feet.

"Thank you~"

Beichuan You stood in front of the microphone, facing the audience below the stage, and introduced himself generously: "I am Beichuan You, the keyboardist and co-vocalist of Baisha Band. Next, I will bring you a song I wrote called "Time Paradox"."

Baisha is the name of the band that he finally decided on this morning after racking his brains for several days.

The origin of this name is not the anime called "White Sand Aquarium", but refers to the most beautiful Shirahama Beach in Izu.

In addition, the Shirahamasaka High School where Okita Sayaka, Sakai Kazuto and others are currently studying is also near that beach.

As for the song "Time Paradox", it was the theme song for the movie "Doraemon: Nobita's Earth Symphony" written by Vaundy, a male singer-songwriter who was ranked in the top ten or even top five in Japan's popularity in his previous life.

After it was released, it has been on the Billboard weekly chart, and it once reached the seventh place. Because it is easy to sing, he had previously selected it as one of the candidates for his debut single.

"So you're in a band too?" Hiroi Kikuri finally realized at this time and found that she had shot herself in the foot.

However, she didn't mind it at all. After all, Kitagawa You was able to stand up bravely to protect his "girlfriend" in this emergency and put all the attention and pressure on himself, which made her, as a girl, feel good about him.

Besides... I can drink and slack off on stage openly and still get paid without losing a penny. Isn't that pretty good?

As the top band in the entire underground independent band circle, live performances of this level are actually not of much help in increasing the popularity of their band.

Because the musical style of their band is too niche, it is difficult for them to become a mainstream band on the ground.

Therefore, for her now, the only purpose of live performances, besides satisfying her own interest in singing, is to make money.

If she had the opportunity to help a junior whom she liked, she would actually be very happy about it, just like she helped Pochi-chan in the original story.

However, she soon discovered that it was not so easy to be lazy, because... after just a few sips, her body was already out of control and moved involuntarily.

Chapter 81 The Third Pat on the Head

In fact, it wasn't just her. The drummer next to her, Shima Iwashita, actually started moving earlier than her because the melody of "Time Paradox" was so catchy.

As we all know, the drummer is usually the one with the best rhythm in the band.

Plus, the melody of "Time Paradox" itself is not that complicated.

The most important thing is that the electric guitar is not as suitable for solo as the acoustic guitar. The sound is relatively high-pitched. If the bass part is not supplemented with drums and low notes, I always feel uncomfortable all over, as if there are ants crawling on me.

So as soon as the prelude ended, Iwashita Shima couldn't help but join in, followed by Hiroi Kikuri's bass.

Moreover, there was clearly no communication between them, and the two hadn't even looked at the score, but they relied on their own outstanding abilities and cooperated very well with Kitagawa Yu, and almost reached 80% of the level of the original accompaniment, which even shocked Kitagawa Yu himself.

"Did I underestimate the heroes of the world, or are the masters in the anime just too abnormal?"

Kitagawa You murmured in his heart for a while, then turned his attention back to the dark crowd below the stage.

Although this live performance was not in his plan, and the number of audiences under the stage was much larger than the "debut show" he originally planned, he surprisingly did not feel nervous at all. Instead, he had an excited feeling of "I am the king of the world" and his whole body became excited.

At the same time, Yanami Anna, who was originally a little "trembling" below the stage, had already been infected by the melody in her ears and the atmosphere around her. She was like a little squirrel holding a pine cone, with her two little hands in front of her. Her fair cheeks were flushed because of being too excited and excited. She looked at Kitagawa Yu with an infatuated look.

"Oh my god! What should I do if there is a boy around me who is super handsome, super gentle, likes food as much as I do, and is also a super singer with unparalleled musical talent!?"

At this moment, Yana saw that Xingcai's heart was pounding and it almost jumped out of her body.
