One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

Chapter 169 Kurata Mashiro: You are the challenger.

With the final work completed.

Finally, this Saturday.

The day of Afterglow and Poppin'Party's co-hosted concert has arrived.

"Hey, did RiNG open earlier than usual today?"

"Afterglow and Popipa are going to have a live show today."

"Oh, I'm looking forward to it."

Pedestrians saw the poster at the entrance of RiNG and were full of anticipation.

And inside the Livehouse.

"Now for the sound check—starting with the drummer."

Shiina Riki took a deep breath and wanted to play the bass drum. But when she raised her head...

But I found that the members of Afterglow, Mitake Ran and Ueda Gawa Tomoe, who were wearing red and black performance costumes, were standing below.

Shiina Riki was distracted for a moment and the pace became faster.

When she realized this, her face instantly turned red.

Then, as she was about to follow instructions and step on the hi-hat—

Thump thump, dunk thump thump!

Several people's eyes widened——

I saw Le Nai, who was standing at the very edge, had closed her eyes and started playing the guitar first.

"The guitar will have to wait a little longer."

When she heard what Shinji Rinrinko said, Kaname tilted her head, took down her guitar, put it aside, and ran away.

"Eh?"

All four of them were stunned.

Nagasaki Suyo had no choice but to smile bitterly in the end, until.

"Excuse me...Ushiromiya Express, your stray cat has been delivered to you."

"...!"

Amid their familiar voices, Shengren grabbed Lena's collar with one hand and lifted her back.

"Ah, Arong..."

"Hi, it's Ushiromiya Katsuto."

Katsuto responded to Takamatsu Deng's timid voice with an innocent tone, and then gave a thumbs up to Udagawa Tomoe and Mitakeran who were not far away.

"Oh!"

Udagawa Tomoe waved his drumstick at Katsuto—

That's a lot of words, but in the previous plot, Katsuto and Tomoe had almost no formal communication.

However, I still became a familiar face.

"..."

But there was no communication at all with Mizukuri.

Shengren always felt that Mizukuri was difficult to approach.

Besides, the touch of red peach dye on Mizukuri's short black hair doesn't really catch people's attention.

Forget it, it doesn’t matter.

When Gao Songdeng and others finished testing the sound and were preparing to leave the stage.

"It's your turn, Katsuto."

Shinji Rinrinko greeted Katsuto.

"Hi! Everyone, you can come over now."

It turned out that they had been waiting next to the stage for a long time.

Azusa Nakano, Maria, and Yushou walked to their seats.

And for some reason, Shengren returned to the stage...

They soon found out why.

because.

"—"

Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rakuna didn't react much.

Nagasaki Suyo was a little surprised when she saw the person who came up with her, but overall she was fine.

Shiina Riki was surprised that Katsuto managed such a large team.

In less than two weeks, we were able to complete a live performance of this level.

Look at yourself again...

Inferiority complex, activated!

However, the one who had the biggest reaction was indeed Takamatsu Deng.

She widened her eyes.

Because, the girl next to Shengren.

That short white hair that sparkles with luster, and those sapphire blue eyes.

This person... this person is...

Kurata Mashiro noticed that someone was looking at him.

She couldn't help but look sideways—she saw a girl with gray hair and amber eyes, looking straight at her.

"?"

"What's the matter, Xiaobai?"

Katsuto bent down and talked to Kurata Mashiro.

"No, it's nothing..."

That person is still looking at himself.

Although Kurata Mashiro was already used to other people's gazes...but this girl's gaze still made her feel a little strange.

What's so strange about it?

Mashiro Kurata didn't understand.

Until all eight people were in place, they began to leave.

"Mashiro Mashiro, that girl has been looking at Ushiromiya-san."

Futaba Chikushi whispered beside her.

"!"

Only then did Kurata Mashiro realize it.

The girl named Gao Songdeng was not the one who was looking at her.

But to win.

Kurata Mashiro looked at Takamatsu Touma again——

Their eyes met again.

That’s right, this time Mashiro Kurata understood.

The emotion in Gao Songdeng's eyes when he looked at her was——

It's hostility.

Mashiro Kurata was even frightened instinctively and took a step back.

But soon, Kurata Mashiro came to her senses.

I have known Arong for many years.

It can be said that apart from the Hirasawa sisters, no one has spent more time with Arong than her.

Why are you hostile to me?

and……

That's right.

This time, the person who is performing with Arong and singing with him is not you, but me.

You are the challenger!

Thinking of this, even Kurata Mashiro, who was running backwards at full speed, straightened her chest, which was even bigger than Takamatsu Tomori's.

This time, it was Takamatsu Deng who was sunk.

She was distraught and followed everyone back to the preparation room. Shengren and the others had just started preparing for the audition...

During their audition.

"excuse me……"

Yamabuki Saya and Toyama Kasumi, wearing Japanese-style performance costumes, entered the performance hall from the audience seats.

"Ah, it's Kuress!"

Toyama Kasumi said happily.

Yamabuki Saya wanted to remind Toyama Kasumi not to disturb her audition, but Katsuto on the stage saw them and waved at them.

"Sister Kasumi, sister Sha Ling!"

"Hey!"

Toyama Kasumi became even more excited.

"Forehead……"

Never mind, let them be.

What else can Yamabuki Saya say?

After the audition, they all walked off the stage and returned to the lounge.

"Come on, Xiaobai, let's go to the pier."

Katsuto picked up a glass of iced American coffee from the side, gulped it down, and said to Mashiro Kurata.

"Ah, hi...?"

Kurata Mashiro agreed instinctively, but after the words came out of her mouth, she hesitated for a while.

"Paying respect to the pier? Do you think this is some kind of extreme way?"

Maria complained while eating a donut.

"Of course, this is the age of the big girl band after all - let's go, let's go say hello to Popipa, Afterglow, and my friends we just saw."

"……Um!"

Kurata Mashiro nodded vigorously, stood up from the sofa where her butt was not even warm yet, and followed Katsuto out of the lounge.

Futaba Chikushi was left staring at the scene in a daze.

"As expected, Mashiro becomes full of courage whenever she's around Ushiromiya-san..."

"After all, we are childhood sweethearts."

Hiromachi Nanamika was still laughing as usual.

Courage is real.
