"One more time, please!"

Under Li Xi's shouts, the four people's training lasted from the first round to the tenth round, playing almost non-stop for more than an hour.

By the end of the tenth round, Li Xi realized she was still making mistakes. This time, she missed four beats. Her face grew increasingly gloomy. "Trouble..."

"Let's do this for now."

Sakura interrupted her.

Even though Riki was willing to put pressure on himself, Sakura noticed that Ebizuka Satoshi's condition was gradually failing to keep up.

If he keeps practicing like this, sooner or later Ebizuka Tomoya will make mistakes.

"Go out and have a rest. My voice is almost hoarse from singing."

Yingliang pretended to be very tired.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that his current condition was the best among the four, and the reason for saying this was simply to make everyone relax.

To let Xiaozhi rest, RUPA was the first to agree: "Your fingers are indeed a little sore."

With that, she placed the bass in her bag and followed Sakura towards the door.

When he reached the door, Rupa looked back at Satoshi Ebizuka who remained in his spot and smiled slightly, "Satoshi, how about going out for some ice cream?"

Ebzuka Satoshi turned his head to look at Li Xi, who lowered his head and said nothing, with an extremely gloomy expression, and sighed helplessly, "Here I come."

When the three of them left the training room, Li Xi gritted his teeth and started playing the drums again according to the music.

She couldn't accept that one day she would become a burden to a band...

We practiced so many times, and everyone else had no problems, so why did I make the mistake?

At first, I just missed two beats, but in the end, not only did I not make up for it, I missed two more!

……

Outside coffee area.

Sitting in his seat, Rupa scooped a spoonful of watermelon smoothie into his mouth, revealing a satisfied smile, "Ha~ so comfortable~"

Satoshi Ebizuka was holding a cup of blueberry smoothie, sipping it slowly through a straw, his eyes occasionally glancing at Sakura standing opposite him.

after awhile.

Noticing that Riki still showed no signs of coming out, Ebizuka Chi couldn't help but break the silence, "Shouldn't we just ignore her?"

Hearing this, RUPA looked at Xiaozhi in surprise.

In the past, when Xiaozhi faced teammates who kept making mistakes, he would strictly ask them to train more and catch up with the pace as soon as possible, and he never cared whether the opponent's situation was stable.

Now that he sees Xiaozhi's growth, RUPA is very pleased.

Little did he know that Xiaozhi was just shocked by Li Xi's condition.

Usually she was the one who put pressure on her teammates, but this was the first time she saw someone actively putting pressure on her, and the pressure was so severe.

The initial doubts about Li Xi's mistakes turned into recognition of the other party's attitude.

Yingliang put down her phone, took a sip of the coffee on the table, and said calmly, "That's Lixi's personality. Even if we force her to rest now, she will still work hard on her own in private. In that case, it's better to let her go at her own pace."

Hearing this, Ebizuka Satoshi was speechless.

"By the way, do you have any ideas for a band name?"

Yingliang suddenly asked.

"You're the one who took the lead in forming the band, right? Shouldn't you be the one making the decisions on this kind of thing?"

Ebzuka Satoshi threw the question back without even thinking.

Yingliang was helpless, "If I could think of it, I wouldn't ask you."

"This is indeed a very important matter. If the name is too strange, it will give people a bad first impression, right?"

Rupa said slightly seriously.

Yingliang sighed, "I know that, that's why I wanted to hear your opinions."

Ebizuka Satoshi also understood the importance of names. She took a deep sip of the smoothie, her eyes gradually becoming firm. "Let's call Riki out. It will be faster if we all think together."

It seems that he is trying to speed up the progress, but RUPA understands that Xiaozhi is showing concern for him in disguise.

So, she immediately agreed, "OK, I'll go in and call her now."

……

After Li Xi came out, the number of people with serious expressions on their faces increased from two to three.

"I can't think of it..."

Li Xi was the first to raise his hand and be eliminated.

"Me too……"

Satoshi Ebzuka followed closely behind.

Although Yingliang didn't say anything, the answer was obvious from his silent state.

Rupa observed the three people with a smile, his eyes switching back and forth between their faces. "I think everyone has the answer, right? They're just too embarrassed to say it out loud. How about you all say it at the same time?"

After these words were spoken, the three of them looked at each other and finally nodded.

"If Rupa says so..."

Ebizuka hesitated for a moment before compromising. "Then I'll count to one and two, and then we'll speak together."

"Ah."

"can."

After receiving affirmative responses from the two, Satoshi Ebizuka slowly spoke: "One... Two, Water Spirit!"

“Almond tofu.”

"Ark."

"..."

After the three people finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.

Ebizka Satoshi and Sakura both turned their gazes to Riki at the same time. Riki felt embarrassed by their overly direct gazes, and a blush slowly crept up her pretty face.

"Are you serious?"

Sakura was puzzled.

"Why mention the name of the dish at a time like this?"

Satoshi Ebizuka was even more direct.

Li Xi stammered, "I, I really couldn't think of a name, so I just named a dish I like."

"Compared to mine, yours isn't much better, is it? Do you dare to say that again?"

Riki questioned Ebizuka Satoshi unhappily.

After a moment of hesitation, Ebizuka Satoshi gritted his teeth and repeated, "Water...water spirit."

"What a chuunibyou name."

Li Xi complained very bluntly.

Ebizka Satoshi was unconvinced. "That's better than the name of your dish, right? Are you planning on cooking yourself for the audience?"

"I……"

Li Xi was speechless after being confronted.

Rupa then interjected, "Looking at it this way, Liang's name is more suspenseful."

"what?"

Riki looked at Yingliang, "What did you just say?"

"Ark."

Sakura answered.

"what does that mean?"

Li Xi was puzzled.

Ebizka Satoshi reminded him, "That's the English for Ark. Didn't you learn it in class?"

After being retorted again, Li Xi still couldn't refute and could only sulk alone.

"So what does the name mean?"

Ebzuka Satoshi stared at Sakura curiously.

Yingliang explained with a smile, "Ark also refers to Noah's Ark, which symbolizes salvation. I hope my song can play this role."

"What? That sounds really high-sounding."

Ebizka Satoshi crossed his arms across his chest, looking displeased.

Although she seems to be complaining on the surface, she has actually accepted this name in her heart.

[Ebizaka Satoshi's favorability increased to 69]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining 7 favorability points]

"Okay, I can't think of anything else anyway."

Li Xi also had no objection.

[Shiina Riki’s favorability value increased to 68]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining 3 favorability points]

Compared to the two people with awkward personalities, RUPA seemed very straightforward. "This name is very good. I like it very much."

[RUPA's favorability value increased to 73]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining 4 favorability points]

Looking at the newly received 14 points of favorability, Yingliang was very satisfied.

In this way, his favorability value broke through 500 for the first time, reaching 512 points.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the sunset shone on the street, Xiaozhi and his companion boarded the train back to Kawasaki.

The total distance from Ikebukuro to Kawasaki is only 30 kilometers.

After getting off the car, Rupa suddenly said, "What do you think, Xiaozhi? A new band."

Ebizuka thought for a moment and replied, "It's OK, a little better than I expected."

Sakura is very strong in both composing and writing lyrics, and even her own instrumental skills can point out her mistakes.

As for Tatsuki Shiina, although there were some minor problems at the beginning, she made up for it later through her own efforts.

"If it's them, they should be able to get into the martial arts hall..."

Ebizka Satoshi added softly.

Rupa's smile grew even wider, and he couldn't help but tease, "It seems Xiaozhi is very satisfied with them."

This time, Satoshi Ebizuka didn't say anything. He just hesitated briefly and nodded silently.

Seeing this, RUPA felt even happier.

……

[RUPA's favorability value increased to 77]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining 4 favorability points]

Yingliang, who stayed in "RiNG", was a little surprised when she heard the sudden pop-up prompt sound. She didn't expect that the first person who could perform remote self-attack would appear so soon.
