In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

"I can pay to rent it for a while."

I just don't know how effective this talent is as described in the introduction.

It doesn't take much... Only one tenth of the introduction is enough for Chen Xinghua to lead four people to perform in the Tokyo Dome.

"You can also play an instrument?" Hong Xia jumped back, "Is it the guitar? Or the keyboard?"

Hong Xia subconsciously ruled out drummers and bass, because there are almost as few amateur drummers as there are amateur bassists.

We can also add a keyboard player to the band.

"Anything is fine," Chen Xinghua replied. "Guitar, piano, drums, keyboard, bass, whatever instrument is available."

Probably just amateurish. Hong Xia let out a helpless breath.

This is because when a person says that he can play all musical instruments, then this person is probably an amateur who can't be more amateur.

Only beginners who have just entered the world of music would want to play all the instruments.

Anyone who has actually walked a few steps in this hall knows that, due to the limited intelligence and energy of human beings, being able to play a musical instrument well is a very remarkable thing.

"I'll look for it later. There should be some spare instruments. But you don't need to pay for it." Hong Xia waved at Chen Xinghua.

After all, Goto Ichiri helped her a lot, so of course she couldn't charge any fees from Chen Xinghua, who was Goto Ichiri's friend.

...It should just be "friends", not a closer relationship. Hong Xia felt a little hesitant.

"Liang." The familiar blue figure appeared in Hong Xia's pupils.

"This is Goto Ichiri, the guitarist I miraculously met in the park."

"This is Chen Xinghua, a friend of Goto Ichiri."

"They are childhood sweethearts," Chen Xinghua added, not friends.

"She's the bassist in the team," Hong Xia introduced.

The blue-haired girl called Liang by Hong Xia nodded, then shifted her gaze to Chen Xinghua.

She could only shift her gaze to Chen Xinghua, because Goto Ichiri had already hidden behind Chen Xinghua, desperately grabbing Chen Xinghua's arms with his hands.

"Liang, come with me to the practice room to practice." Hong Xia put her hands on Liang's shoulders and pushed her hard towards the practice room.

"And you guys come too." Hong Xia turned around and said.

(Reality is scary, and something even scarier is about to happen to you.)

This is what the voice from deep within Goto Ichiri said.

(Like, my first performance was a complete disaster.)

(I forgot to mention that my first performance was also like yours. I was dragged into the band by a big yellow-haired guy, and the red-haired guitarist ran away halfway through the performance.)

Goto Ichiri stiffly held the corner of Chen Xinghua's clothes and followed him, staggering like a clumsy penguin.

It seems that my other self in a parallel universe also made a fool of himself in this performance.

"也", why use "也"?

Will I make a fool of myself in this performance?

No way!!! Goto Ichiri looked at Chen Xinghua's back in front of him, and his heart was suddenly filled with a huge red determination.

I absolutely cannot make a fool of myself in front of my childhood sweetheart, otherwise he will use the excuse that I am not good enough in the band and send me to that hellish cram school.

I don’t want to go to school. ...

(If you don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your childhood friend, why don't you give me your body for a while?)

(I promise to make this a solo performance just for us!)

Looking at Goto Ichiri who fell into deep thought again, Chen Xinghua shook his head.

My childhood sweetheart is still the same.

Suddenly, Chen Xinghua's eyes lit up as he saw a huge cardboard box with "Changshu Mango" written on it.

It seemed like that cardboard box could completely fit little Goto Ichiri.

By playing in this cardboard box, I guess Goto Ichiri might... maybe... maybe he could overcome his fear of performing on stage?

Chen Xinghua wasn't quite sure.

Because normal people would be extremely nervous when performing on stage for the first time, let alone someone like Goto Ichiri who suffers from severe social anxiety.

You have to know that her social anxiety level was so high that she refused to talk to anyone except Chen Xinghua throughout junior high school.

In short, Chen Xinghua had already placed the cardboard box with "Changshu Mango" written on it in front of him.

"Ichiri, this is today's song list and sheet music." Hongxia handed a stack of papers to Goto Ichiri, "Here, before we start, let's practice first."

Set up the drums, plug in the electric guitar to the effects pedal, and pick up the bass.

Once everything is ready, you can start your terrible performance.

Hongxia was deeply aware of the level of Goto Ichiri's band.

How should I put it? There is a lot of room for improvement.

To put it in terms of low EQ, it means being slightly better than a novice.

"It's terrible..." A dark cloud appeared on Hong Xia's face.

As if realizing she had said something wrong, Hong Xia quickly added, "It's not that bad actually. It's much better than a novice."

(I told you, let me do it, let me do it, letting you perform it now will only lead to this outcome.)

Another loud voice came from the depths of Goto Ichiri's heart.

"Ichiri." Chen Xinghua looked at Goto Ichiri who was skillfully hiding behind him. He knew that the socially anxious Goto Ichiri could not exert even one tenth of his strength in front of others.

"If you're afraid of making a fool of yourself on stage, why not wear this cardboard box when you go out? That way no one will know who you are."

Goto Ichiri quickly put the big cardboard box on himself and immediately felt the warmth as if he was back home.

"I'm sorry, Hongxia, I know this is very rude, but can you let Yili go out and perform with this big cardboard box on?" Chen Xinghua clasped his hands together and asked Hongxia.

"It's okay." Hong Xia looked at Goto Ichiri, who was hiding behind Chen Xinghua in a large cardboard box like some kind of light-fearing animal to escape reality, and began to feel a little sympathy for this man.

It must be hard to have a childhood sweetheart with such social anxiety.

"This isn't a formal performance. The only people who come to see our band are our friends. Don't be nervous, Yili."

Because the band that Hong Xia has formed now is the kind of NPC band that appears everywhere in the game, and only the friends of the band members are willing to buy tickets to watch the performance of this new band.

7. Compared to Guitar Hero, none of them are any good

If there's one word to describe Goto Ichiri's debut performance, it would be terrible.

In two words, it's terrible.

To put it in three words, it's terrible.

Chen Xinghua leaned in front of the ticket counter, turned his head to the side, unable to bear to watch this extremely bad performance.

The opening MC was not very good, the lead singer had disappeared, the guitarist came on stage wearing a big cardboard box, and the coordination was terrible.

But...this band does have some good points, such as the yellow-haired drummer named Hongxia.

"I just heard the sound engineer say that you are Goto Ichiri's childhood sweetheart...who is performing on the stage now, right?" The big yellow-haired guy sitting behind the ticket counter spoke.

A man of the same age as Hong Xia...this is a very dangerous signal.

Because adolescent girls of Hongxia's age are most likely to be abducted by bad boys outside.

"Um... who are you?" Chen Xinghua looked in the direction of the voice, only to see an oversized yellow-haired man who looked somewhat similar to Hong Xia.

"Ichichi Xingge, Hongxia's sister." Xingge looked at the boy with a scrutinizing gaze. As far as she knew, boys of this age were most likely to have some inappropriate thoughts about cute girls.

"What do you think of Hong Xia?"

"It's pretty good." Chen Xinghua's words made Yidizhi Xingge extremely alert.

This is good in which aspect.

"I don't know much about musical instruments, but I can feel the powerful force of her drumming." Chen Xinghua looked at Hong Xia's slender white arms holding the drumsticks.

It is hard to imagine that it is just a pair of young girls' arms that beat out such powerful drum beats.

Looking at her face again, it was only tense, without a trace of fatigue.

Is this some kind of natural-born female drummer holy body?

"Skills can be developed, and stage experience can be gained...but the strength required to play the drums is difficult to develop."

Drummers need skills, but even more so, strength.

Girls' upper limb strength and physical strength are naturally much weaker than boys, which makes it extremely difficult to find a qualified female drummer, especially a qualified young girl drummer.

Chen Xinghua stretched out his hand to measure Hongxia's height, which was only about 1.5 meters.

"It would be great to form a band with her."

My thoughts were too dirty. Xingge suddenly felt a little ashamed.

but...

"Hongxia's shoulders are too stiff. She still needs more practice." Xingge tried hard to look serious.

But she felt that her serious expression in Chen Xinghua's eyes was a look of "please praise my excellent sister more."

Is this what tsundere means?

"Does Hongxia plan to make a commercial debut in the future?" Chen Xinghua knocked on the table.

I have to find a way to bring this yellow-haired girl under my name.

Not to mention anything else, just the title of the super-strong girl drummer has already maxed out her traffic.

Not to mention, her potential in drumming is also very good.

"Hehe...she still needs more practice." Xingge had no idea that the man in front of her had already thought of kidnapping her sister. She was just immersed in the idea that someone finally appreciated her sister.

After all, the audience next to her didn't notice the strength of her cutest sister at all, and they even started playing with their mobile phones.

"She doesn't have the strength to perform in a martial arts arena yet."

So, she has plans for a commercial debut? Chen Xinghua speculated this conclusion.

While Chen Xinghua and Xingge were having a heated discussion about Hongxia, the guitarist on the stage, who was curled up in the "Changshu Mango" box, was in the most critical moment of his life.

It's over, it's over.

Goto Ichiri's fingers, which were plucking the guitar strings, turned pale in an instant.

If I can't manage the band well, Chen Xinghua will catch me and send me to a cram school to live a hellish life.

And the way I am now, I definitely can't be considered as someone who can run a good band.

(The performance was halfway through, and as expected, the me in that other parallel universe was still me.)

(My performance in front of strangers at this time was a mess.)

(Pochi-chan, you don’t want to be taken to a cram school by Chen Xinghua, right? Then let me take your place.)

(But you'll have to work hard on your own performances from now on... I don't want to train my other self to be a useless person who only lets my other self perform.)

(Which sounds a bit confusing, but who cares?)

"Goto Ichiri" suddenly stood up from the cardboard box holding a guitar.

Ichiri? Hongxia had an inexplicable feeling that Goto Ichiri's aura had changed.

Is she Ichiri? Chen Xinghua, who was in the audience, looked at Goto Ichiri with a wicked smile on his face, and subconsciously grasped his left wrist with his right hand.

"Cooperate with me." "Goto Ichiri" said in a low voice.

When it comes to leading the rhythm to end the band's entire performance, "Ichiri Goto" is extremely skilled.

After all, she had been doing this before coming to this parallel universe, and this was also an important reason why the "End Band" in her universe fell apart.

Strumming the familiar guitar strings, making beautiful sounds, leading the performance rhythm of the entire band, and attracting the attention of the bored audience below the stage.

Then wait for them to say something that is all too familiar.
