Does gravity make me stronger?

No, I can't hear the guitar at all anymore.

If this continues, everyone will be disappointed. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry...

Suddenly, all the surrounding noise disappeared.

When Goto Ichiri opened his eyes, not only had the crowd disappeared, but the surroundings had also turned into bare cardboard. The warm lights of the cafe instantly turned into cool tones, creating a cool yet subtly reassuring atmosphere.

Is this place like inside a closet in her home?

Is she dreaming?

Chapter 57, Chapter 056: Longing and Remembering – The First Shot! (Third Update)

Faced with this sudden change, Goto Ichiri was momentarily confused.

It must be the world's fault!

Unfortunately, she wasn't surnamed Uchiha. Rather than believing that the world had undergone earth-shattering changes, she preferred to think that her own mind had gone mad.

My brain has finally broken down, boohoo.

As she wept bitterly, wondering why a performance could damage her brain, a sheet of music caught her eye.

"Wait a minute, is this the sheet music for Kasuga Kage?"

The sheet music the cat girl had given her was still lying in front of her, which meant that what had just happened was not a dream.

So...

Could I have accidentally entered the Zone?

Goto Ichiri had heard that some top athletes, when in a state of extreme excitement, would enter a world of complete absorption.

In this state, you feel like you're the only person left in the whole world.

And her current situation is very similar to this.

"Is that so? It must be so!"

Unable to explain the supernatural phenomena at this moment, Goto Ichiri could only hope that scientists would come up with some sophisticated terms.

Being alone makes me feel much more at ease.

Not only was she alone, but she was also back in a familiar environment, and Goto Ichiri's tense shoulders slowly relaxed.

For the first time, a confident light shone in those blue eyes.

Beside her, the cat-like girl with short white hair sensed Goto Ichiri's change faster than anyone else, and this change was most directly reflected in her playing technique.

Both the strength of the plucking and the control over each note were far superior to before.

She had a vague feeling that Goto Ichiri was only now unleashing her full strength, and if she didn't get serious, she would have a hard time keeping up.

What happened to this little pink-haired girl?

"An interesting woman."

As if in confrontation with Goto Ichiri, the white-haired girl became even more focused on her performance, and the style of the originally soothing melody of "Spring Shadow" gradually changed.

"So strong!" Kita Ikuyo exclaimed, "Wow, so cool!"

At first, their duet didn't go smoothly, and Kita Ikuyo was a little apprehensive.

But from a certain point onward, Goto Ichiri suddenly raised her profile, and the white-haired girl, not to be outdone, also began to vie for dominance.

And so, what should have been a harmonious duet between two guitars gradually turned into a battle of gods.

Kita Ikuyo was surprised to find herself unknowingly drawn into the performance.

At this moment, she was not an indifferent listener, but a part of their play, and she could clearly feel any emotional fluctuations of the musicians.

If Kita Yuyo had read Chinese web novels, she would surely say at this moment: "The two supreme beings fought to the edge of the universe, and even the Great Dao was obliterated!"

But this doesn't mean the performance was a flop; rather, it was a different kind of experience.

Is this the scenery they saw?

Kita Ikuyo's emerald green eyes gradually brightened, and she was more immersed in the music than ever before.

It was in that instant that she made up her mind to learn from Goto Ichiri.

After the song ended, the coffee shop was packed with people.

The waiters in the coffee shop listened intently to the duet until long after the music ended, when they suddenly realized what was happening and mechanically clapped.

The applause was like a loud alarm clock, completely waking everyone from the music.

Immediately, more and more applause erupted.

"That's amazing! This is the first time I've ever heard such a wonderful two-guitar duet."

"These two are both at a professional level, no, they might even be better than professionals!"

"Which band are they in? I've never seen them before?"

Everyone was discussing that although RiNG has no shortage of excellent musicians, it is truly rare to see two musicians on stage who can deliver such an infectious performance with just two guitars and no other instruments.

"Oh, it didn't drop much."

Hachiman also sincerely applauded Goto Ichiri's progress.

Admittedly, Goto Ichiri still hasn't overcome her social anxiety. The hallucination she just experienced helped her escape the problem in a way, and in reality, it didn't represent any progress.

However, he has done his best.

Personality cannot be changed at will. To change someone's personality, you need to take on the corresponding responsibility. To paraphrase a famous saying, "Do you have the courage to put on a kimono for me?"

No, he didn't.

So, that's fine.

Goto Ichiri completed the performance and repaid the favor, all of which is cause for celebration.

The only downside was that although Goto Ichiri's gravity value dropped from 31 to 13, the bonus was not triggered.

Has the threshold not been reached?

The system did not provide an explanation for this, but based on past experience, a reward is usually only given when the gravity value is reduced by about 20 points.

So he was only slightly disappointed, nothing more.

Since the performance had ended, and the two performers on stage didn't seem to intend to play another piece, the waiters began to disperse the onlookers from the coffee shop.

"Please be careful when you go out, don't crowd, and go one by one."

Under the waiter's direction, the audience quickly dispersed.

Just then.

"Excuse me, what was the name of that song?"

Goto Ichiri looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young woman in a suit raising her right hand high above her head, looking at them expectantly.

name...

Can I say that?

Goto Ichiri turned his confirming gaze to the cat girl.

The latter nodded slightly.

"Shadow of Spring."

"Spring Shadows, what a beautiful piece of music. Will it be played again in the future?"

"They can play music."

The one speaking was the cat girl, who counted on her fingers and made a five-point gesture.

"Next Sunday, LiveHouse."

Upon hearing this reply, a burning light shone in the woman's eyes.

"I will definitely go, even if it costs me my career!"

No, nobody wants your career.

Hachiman grumbled and walked over to support the exhausted Goto Ichiri, but there was an undisguised joy in her eyes.

'I actually made it!'

'Pochi-chan has won big! I must tell Hongxia and the others when I get back, hehe.'

Okay, okay, I'll definitely tell you when I get back. Now, get some rest.

"Your name?" the cat-girl suddenly approached and asked.

"Oh, you mean that movie? Sorry, I haven't seen it yet..."

"My name is Yoro Nai."

"...Um, my name is Goto Ichiri..."

Realizing that she had misunderstood the other person's meaning, Goto Ichiri immediately bowed and apologized.

After learning Goto Ichiri's name, Kaname left contentedly.

'That's strange. Is this girl just here to play the guitar?'

"Then I'm leaving too."

After helping Goto Ichiri to her seat, Hachiman tidied himself up and was about to get up when he met her expectant gaze.

Praise me!

"..."

'Hmm, it seems Hachiman didn't like my performance. Was there something I did wrong?'

Ahhhhh!

Hachiman was about to go crazy. The ability to read minds was indeed a great convenience for someone like him, but it was also the biggest challenge.

If he couldn't hear Goto Ichiri's true feelings, he could simply pretend to be indifferent and leave gracefully.

But once you actually hear it, it's not so easy to say goodbye.

"Great job, keep it up next time."

Forcing a smile of encouragement, Hachiman praised him somewhat awkwardly.

This feels so deliberate, it's almost disgusting.

I know without you saying it!

However, Goto Ichiri was indeed smiling foolishly with happiness.

'Hehe, Hachiman praised me! I'm so happy! I'll try my best next time!'

Well, thankfully, Goto Ichiri is a girl who's relatively easy to handle...

[That's right, that's right. If Hachiman were to say "I like you, please go out with me" right now, I doubt Pochi-chan would refuse, and sleeping together would just be a matter of time, right?]

Get out of here!

Oh, you're serious?

"..."

"Then I'll go first."

"OK Bye Bye."

Goto Ichiri stretched out her slender hand from her sleeve, waving it slightly at Hachiman like a cute lucky cat. Hachiman blushed and quickly walked out of the cafe.

Chapter 58, Section 057: The Young General's Battle Against the Box (Fourth Update)

Because paid leave is hard-won, Hachiman didn't rest immediately after returning home. Instead, he picked up his textbooks and started reading.

The book has its own house of gold, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.

However, less than 10 minutes later, Hachiman became dizzy from watching and immediately lay down on the bed to doze off.

【How can you sleep at your age?】

No, do you want to control what I do while I sleep?

Hachiman opened his eyes somewhat unhappily. It wasn't that he didn't want to study, but rather that he was experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms from the afternoon's reading of "Kasuga Kage".
