"Wow, Goto-kun, your guitar skills are amazing!"

Kato Megumi clapped her hands beside him, giving Goto Ichiri a lot of encouragement.

She wasn't just flattering him; Goto Ichiri's performance was genuinely impressive.

Although she doesn't know any guitar techniques, she can still tell whether the music is good or not.

"That's true, you do have your strengths."

Qin Chuan felt the touch of Goto Ichiri against his body and nodded to comfort her.

Goto Ichiri's guitar skills are truly exceptional, surpassing the level of half of high school students.

Qin Chuan 0.8 even suspected that this guy's Stand might be something related to music after it awakened.

After all, one way a Stand awakens is by deeply studying a certain skill, thereby awakening a Stand related to that skill.

In JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4, there is a chef who awakens a Stand related to cooking because of his dedication to culinary arts.

"hey-hey……"

Although Goto Ichiri was still a little afraid of Qin Chuan, she couldn't help but laugh when she heard Qin Chuan's praise.

A sudden compliment, amidst the usual strict demands, made Goto Ichiri feel much better.

Seeing Goto Ichiri's expression, Qin Chuan guessed what she was thinking.

So, is this considered PUA?

Qin Chuan finished the last bite of the hamburger patty in his bento box, thinking to himself...

Chapter 106 Kato Megumi's Right to Pat Head

After the three of them finished having lunch on the rooftop, they walked out together.

Compared to when they entered the rooftop, the three of them were clearly much more familiar with each other. At least Kato Megumi was able to take the initiative to chat with Goto Ichiri for a bit.

As for Goto Ichiri... well, this guy hasn't changed much; he still just passively agrees with Kato Megumi.

It's more accurate to say that her ability to agree with others is already a form of progress.

If it's someone she doesn't know at all, Goto Ichiri will only make "abba aba" sounds when someone tries to talk to her, and she won't respond at all.

Qin Chuan locked the rooftop door again and nodded in satisfaction.

Because the rooftop door is usually locked, no one typically comes here.

Perhaps the rooftop during lunch break can become his private space.

After descending the stairs to the rooftop, the three of them prepared to part ways because Goto Ichiri and Hata Kato Megumi were in different classes.

However, seeing Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi preparing to leave, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but call out to them:

"Um... I'm currently working at a livehouse in Shimokitazawa. If you're free, you can come and support me..."

Because her band and the others hadn't gotten off to a good track yet, she needed to work to make ends meet to cover her performance fees.

Although the place where she worked was the same LiveHouse where they performed, and there were two familiar faces from the same band there, Goto Ichiri still lacked confidence.

So after lunch, Goto Ichiri thought, why not invite Kato Megumi over too? Maybe it would cheer him up.

Qin Chuan was just an afterthought—it wasn't that I had any bad impression of Qin Chuan.

However, Goto Ichiri felt that he might be even more nervous if Qin Chuan came.

While it's possible to achieve a perfect performance under extreme tension, Goto Ichiri dared not place her hopes on that kind of high-pressure state.

"Working... but I have some things to do after school, so I'm afraid I can't today."

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi could roughly guess what Goto Ichiri was thinking when he said those words.

Although they only had lunch together once, Kato Megumi had already realized how serious Goto Ichiri's social anxiety was.

She probably hoped that someone she knew would be by her side on her first day of work.

To be honest, Kato Megumi wouldn't mind helping Goto Ichiri, but she did have something to do at home after school, so she couldn't go.

"Then I'll go take a look."

Qin Chuan curled a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth and said to Goto Ichiri.

He was in the Home Club, which had no club activities after school. He had already helped the Service Club before, so he naturally had time to check on Goto Ichiri's part-time job.

It just so happens that the LiveHouse where Goto Ichiri works is near Kiryu's bar, so he can go and check on the Kiryu Group on his way.

Originally, that bar wasn't the headquarters of the Kiryu Group, but because Qin Chuan recruited Kiryu there, Kiryu, out of respect, simply made that bar the regular gathering place for the Kiryu Group.

"what?"

Goto Ichiri, who had originally hoped that Kato Emi would come, was dumbfounded. He never expected that only Qin Chuan would come in the end.

Although Qin Chuan was indeed someone she knew... the pressure he exerted on her was immense.

She had hoped that someone she knew would help ease her nervousness, but now her legs felt weak.

Moreover, because of what she saw in the bar yesterday, Goto Ichiri was even a little worried that Qin Chuan might come over with a group of his underlings.

Just imagining the scene of the LiveHouse doors being pushed open and a group of bald, sunglasses-wearing burly men following Qin Chuan into the house, Goto Ichiri wanted to shout out loud.

Seeing that Qin Chuan and Kato Megumi were about to leave, Goto Ichiri quickly stepped forward and grabbed Qin Chuan's sleeve.

She looked nervously at Qin Chuan, who had turned around, and let out a pitiful sound:

"Um, please make sure that only you come alone..."

"..."

Qin Chuan was somewhat amused and exasperated. Did Goto Ichiri think he would bring a bunch of yakuza thugs to support him?

He had read the original work before he traveled through time. Although Goto Ichiri and her band played rock music, they were still far removed from the yakuza.

He wouldn't do something so rude.

"Okay, I understand. I'll go alone."

With a slightly annoyed rub of her head, Qin Chuan then walked towards the classroom with Kato Megumi, watching Goto Ichiri see him off.

"A-Chuan is really popular."

Kato Megumi leaned closer to Qin Chuan, almost pressing herself against him, her tone tinged with complaint.

She heard everything Goto Ichiri said, something about "only you coming alone"...

She sounds exactly like a girl in love.

Although Kato Megumi knew that her weak presence made it difficult to protect Qin Chuan, she couldn't help but feel a little jealous seeing this scene.

"What that guy meant by sending me alone might be a little different from what you're thinking."

Qin Chuan chuckled as he listened to Kato Ena's seemingly jealous remarks.

Goto Ichiri's words were not sentimental at all; they were purely out of fear of being challenged by the yakuza.

However, Qin Chuan didn't plan to tell Kato Megumi about this. He thought Kato Megumi should just be a good student. He preferred Kato Megumi's uncorrupted appearance.

Kato Megumi didn't say much after hearing this, she just stared straight at Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan looked over curiously, and Kato Megumi then pointed to the top of her head.

"..."

Seeing this, Qin Chuan understood what she meant, shook his head helplessly, and then reached out to pat Kato Megumi's head.

Kato Megumi's hair is also very soft, and unlike Goto Ichiri's, which smells like it's been in a closet for a long time, Kato Megumi's hair has a fresh shampoo scent.

Kato Megumi blushed and rubbed her head against Qin Chuan's palm.

It seems that Qin Chuan touched Goto Ichiri's head earlier, which sparked a bit of a competitive feeling in him.

But what girl would compete for the right to be patted on the head?

Qin Chuan didn't really understand what these girls were thinking, but he enjoyed the feeling nonetheless.

And so, Qin Chuan patted Kato Megumi's head until they reached the classroom before they finally parted ways.

However, even when she walked into the classroom in this manner, almost no students noticed Kato Megumi along the way.

Even though several classmates greeted Qin Chuan, they all overlooked the large hand that Qin Chuan had placed on Kato Megumi's head.

"It's a real shame. If Megumi could awaken her Stand, it might have been a very strong stealth ability."

Qin Chuan thought to himself.

Chapter 107 Ijichi Niji Natsu's Contact Information

As night falls, the number of guests at the LiveHouse gradually increases.

LiveHouses sell food and drinks for the audience to enjoy while watching the bands perform, which is one of their sources of income.

When Qin Chuan bought a ticket and entered the LiveHouse, a band had already started performing on stage.

Although they are just a small band, they are quite well-known within a certain area, so there were quite a few audience members cheering them on at the LiveHouse.

Qin Chuan didn't know much about these bands. Although he thought the band played well, he really didn't have much musical knowledge; he just thought it sounded good.

Next to the LiveHouse was the counter, and standing behind the counter were Ichika Ijichi and Ichiri Goto.

Since the performance has already started, there is no one buying anything at the counter, and Ichika Ichiji and Ichiri Goto are temporarily free.

Qin Chuan walked over, holding a ticket that looked like a guitar pick that he had bought at the entrance, and handed it to Goto Ichiri:

"A Coke, please."

"OK……"

Having already hosted quite a few guests, Goto Ichiri has figured out a way to avoid triggering her social anxiety disorder.

That means not looking at the customer's face, but treating the customer as some kind of robot, and you are just adding oil to the robot... If you think like this, you won't panic.

So when Qin Chuan handed over the ticket, Goto Ichiri simply remained stiff as she took a cup of cola and handed it over.

How does it feel to be working?

Qin Chuan took the Coke, took a sip, and asked another question.

"It's alright... Huh?"

Goto Ichiri replied instinctively before realizing that someone was asking her a question.

Looking up, she saw Qin Chuan standing in front of the counter, and she panicked again.

"Qin Chuan, you...you...you're here?"

"You're the one who asked me to come, so why are you even more nervous now that I'm here?"

Qin Chuan watched Goto Ichiri's performance with amusement.

"Oh? Is this Little Pochi's friend?"

Ichika Niji was standing nearby. Seeing Goto Ichiri's reaction to seeing Qin Chuan, she also came over in surprise.

"Hello, are you Qin Chuan? I'm Ichiji Nijika, and I'm Xiao Boqi's bandmate."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Pochi."

Qin Chuan nodded to Ichiji Nijika, speaking as if he had a very good relationship with Goto Ichiri.

We only officially met yesterday.

Nijika Ijichi is also a very cute girl, and a typical masculine character, quite different from Ichiri Goto.

However, it was precisely because of Ijichi Nijika's personality that she was able to forcefully pull Goto Ichiri into the band.

I really can't imagine what path Ichiri Goto's future would have taken without Ichiji Nijika.

"Qin Chuan and Xiao Boqi seem to be very close. Are they from the same school?"

Ichi Nijika's gaze darted back and forth between Qin Chuan and Goto Ichiri, her eyes filled with surprise.

They probably never expected that Goto Ichiri, with her appearance, would have friends at school.

Although this idea is rather impolite.

"Yes, yes... We even had lunch together today."
