[It's so heartwarming... but why...]
Bochi, standing under the table, stared blankly at the hands that reached in through the darkness. He looked at the other person with confusion, wondering why... Why do you have to help me when I'm someone who can't change myself? Why not just leave me alone?
I'm just a piece of mud, even if I help myself like this, I can't do anything... Looking into Taro's calm eyes, Pochi felt a little scared.
She remembered that street performance. He must have been very disappointed. He thought he had changed, but in reality, nothing had changed.
But... he trusts her so much, is it right for her to keep hiding like this...? No, she can't go on like this forever, even just a little bit, she has to change. With that thought, she firmly reached out and grasped Taro's hand, and with Taro's help, she crawled out from under the dark table.
I also want to continue to make changes... even just a little bit.
Ai Yin stared blankly at Boqi, then smiled. Although she didn't know what had happened, she could sense that something inside Dudu seemed to be changing.
"Ouch!" Pochi clutched her head and squatted down on the ground. As she tried to get up, the back of her head hit the table. She cried out in pain and squatted down again.
"Goto-kun! Are you alright?" The first to react was Kiyotaka, followed by Aine, Nijika, and Ryo. Everyone gathered around, asking Pochi about his condition all at once.
Taro watched this scene, silently took a step back, giving them the space, and a smile appeared on his lips.
After what seemed like an eternity of activity, the area was finally settled, and everyone was able to return to their respective positions.
Hongxia coughed lightly, looked around, scratched her head a little awkwardly, and asked, "Where were we?"
Ai Yin tilted her head and thought carefully, "It seems to be about cosmetics."
"Hmm," Liang nodded in agreement, then returned to his cool pose with one hand on his chin.
"No! It's about how to have a more band-like feel!" Hongxia looked at the notebook in her hand, coughed lightly, and said, "First, we need to start with the surface."
"Yes, yes, yes," Kita was still the first to chime in: "That was indeed the topic we were talking about. So, where should we begin?"
"In conclusion—" She rummaged through the box next to her, then stretched out her hand, showing off the red bandage on her wrist, and said very proudly, "Anyway, I tried making band merchandise first!"
[More superficial than I imagined!] x2
We, the two pink-haired girls, share the same sentiment, and Aine and Pochi are both internally complaining about it at the same time.
"It's just a bandage tied around his hand, isn't it?" Kita asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Huh? Isn't it cute?" Faced with the rebuttal, Hongxia's eyes widened slightly, and she took out a bunch of ribbons of different colors from a box on the side: "There are all kinds of colors, you know?"
Everyone except Taro brought their own to try it out. Ryo looked at them, nodded, and suggested, "If we're selling it as merchandise, let's make it 500 yen."
"Who would want to buy something like this!" Taro looked at Yamada Ryo in bewilderment. "Something worth 200 yen should be sold for 200 yen!"
Yamada Ryo didn't care about Taro's words. She took out a pen, signed her name on the wristband she was wearing, and said, "It's 650 yen if it's signed."
"So cheap! I'll buy it!" Kita quickly came over and took out his coins.
Taro stared at Kita in surprise, then at Ryo, speechless for a moment. His closed mouth suddenly uttered a single syllable: "Hiccup—"
"Taro—I think our band could also sell some merchandise!" Aine suggested from the side. "It'll definitely sell like hotcakes after our first live performance. Our band is so talented."
"I refuse!" Taro crossed his arms and leaned back in his chair. "Hiccup—we don't need this kind of thing! Our band, hiccup, makes money from CDs!"
"Eh? What's going on, Taro!!" Aine grabbed Taro's arm relentlessly, but Taro shook her off without hesitation. Kita, who was standing nearby, quickly came to her rescue.
"Is Mr. Deliveryman's band going to have a live show too? When? Can I go?" Kita seemed really eager to attend, and Aine smiled and said, "It's in the next two weeks, Kita-kun. Are you coming? We're having it at RiNG in Ikebukuro, Tokyo."
"Absolutely!" Kita nodded very seriously.
“I’ve heard of that livehouse. It’s very famous,” Liang said calmly. “To be able to perform there, you must be very talented.”
"1500 yen each, thank you—" Aine skillfully took four tickets from Taro's pocket.
"It's a bit far," Kita thought for a moment, but still paid for a ticket.
Then Boqi and Hongxia readily paid the money, because as participants in the street live performance, they were also very curious about Taro's band's performance.
"I want to see it too," Liang sighed. "But I'm broke. I'm surviving on wild grass. Could you lend me some?"
Episode 5, Leave it to me.
At Yamada Ryo's pleading, Taro lent her 3000 yen, promising to repay it when he received his salary the following month.
Kita looked at the cold glass, then at his wallet with resentment, and shed tears of poverty.
"Waaah, Kuaashi desu! I also want to lend Ryo-senpai money."
Hearing Kita say that, Ryo moved closer to her and said, "Yeah, that's fine, I don't mind. More or less doesn't matter."
"Thank you! Senpai!" Just as she was about to offer up all the money in her wallet, which was over 1000 yen, Nijika stopped her hand and said with a kind expression, "Kita, no, if you lend Ryo so much money, she'll definitely spend it all in no time."
Kita thought for a moment and gave an example: "For instance, if you lend her 1000 yen, after deducting the cost of the ticket, you'll have 2500 yen left, right? She'll think that to make up for the damage she suffered from eating grass a few days ago, she has to have a good meal. Since she has 2,500 yen, she'll spend 2,000 yen on a good meal, and the remaining 500 yen can be used to get by."
"Hehe... Yi Ling Yi Qi Si Wu Jiu Si (Nine) Shrimp," Liang chuckled shyly, scratching the back of her head. Hong Xia turned into a cat-like eye and said coldly, "I wasn't praising you."
"Haha... Your band is really interesting," Ai Yin awkwardly laughed, trying to ease the strange atmosphere, but inwardly she was loudly complaining: [What on earth is going on with this band?!]
Hongxia shook her head and raised her hand: "Never mind, who else has thought of other ideas to enhance the band's style? Please raise your hand!"
The first person to respond was still Kita. She raised her hand, smiled brightly, and said, "If you want to run the 'Photo Wall' account, leave it to me."
"Excellent!" Hongxia brandished a pistol, pointed it at Kita, and said, "I hereby appoint you as Minister of Social Networks!"
I will update daily from then on.
"This is great! Taro! I want one too!" Aine stood up excitedly: "As expected, appointments with serious matters make me more motivated."
“We don’t need this kind of thing!” Even Taro couldn’t help but complain: “You’re already motivated enough.”
He took out his phone and showed it off. Besides the pinned group photo and the theme song of the Dong Brothers music group, it was filled with the daily life of the members of Aiyin: "If you want to increase your motivation, send at least ten photos every day. The band's updates will only be buried by your spam!"
"That's so mean!" Ai Yin pouted in dissatisfaction. "I did upload proper photos, look~ this is Xiao Le Nai's, this is me kissing Miao Meng... they're both so cute!"
Kita glanced at Aine's account name, searched for it, and then swiped his finger across the screen: "That's true, they're all very cute, but they're almost all buried under breakfast, dinner, and lunch, so you can hardly see them anymore. By the way! They eat way too many fruit sandwiches!"
"It's delicious, so there's no problem!" Ai Yin patted her chest confidently.
"It was that person who said eating sandwiches every day would cause high blood sugar and wanted me to make bento boxes, hiccup—" Taro complained while maintaining his crossed arms, but unfortunately, the hiccup at the end ruined his momentum.
"That's so unfair! And you didn't even agree!" Aine slammed her hand on the table and shouted angrily into Taro's ear.
"Hiccup—" Taro hiccuped again, then leaned back and ignored Aine's words.
"Haha... Anyway, Chihaya-san, would you like to add me as a friend?"
"Yes, yes!" Little Ai immediately forgot her less-than-pleasant argument with Taro and beamed with joy.
"And then...establishing a fan club!" Hongxia immediately brought up the next topic.
"The annual fee is 10,000 yen." Yamada Ryo offered his opinion with a calm face: "The benefits of joining the fan club are that you can attend handshake events, plus an annual takoyaki party with the band members, and you can bring your own ingredients!"
"Completely not worth the price—" x2
This time, Aine and Taro unanimously criticized Ryougi's money-grabbing tactics.
"It's so cheap, I want to join!" Kita shouted excitedly, waving his bank card. Startled, Taro let out another hiccup.
“Kita, you’re a member too!” Nijika couldn’t help but tease.
Once Kita had calmed down a bit, she asked Pochi, who was standing next to her, "What about Goto-kun?"
Pochi made a sound like "Eh." Kita asked, "Do you have any ideas?"
Pochi looked away, inwardly anxious: [What should I do? I wasn't thinking about anything just now, I was just ranting.]
“No, I…” Pochi looked into Kita’s eyes, into Kirakira’s expectant gaze, and felt unable to bring himself to say the words of refusal.
No...no, I just decided to change things, tell them quickly, if they refuse...!
"Um...this...I...?" Pochi moved his arms up and down on the invisible wall like a suction cup puppet, the straps in his hands trembling.
However, Boqi soon didn't need to worry about this anymore, because Hongxia had already spoken up to help her out: "By the way, little Boqi doesn't need to come up with any ideas."
The five people in the room turned to look at Hongxia, who smiled and said something very cruel to Boqi: "Because Boqi has a heavy responsibility to write lyrics for original songs."
"Huh?" The straps stopped bent in Pochi's hand, her eyes filled with terror.
"Wasn't it already decided?" Hongxia maintained her smile: "Liang will compose the music, and Xiaoboqi will write the lyrics."
Bochi recalled the day he hadn't yet met Momoi Taro, when Nijika said, "If there are any forbidden words in the lyrics, Bochi, you can write them."
"You can write it..."
"That's good..."
*Thud*—The bandage in her hand trembled and rolled onto the table.
"Huh? Ryo-senpai is going to compose a song? I can't wait! Is he already writing it?" As a die-hard fan of Ryo-senpai, Kita immediately went over to ask.
Liang closed her eyes and shook her head slightly, saying, "No, not yet. I'll write when I get inspiration."

"Wow, I can't wait!" "Please, Ryo!" After the two band members finished their performance and encouraged Ryo, Hongxia also encouraged Xiaoboqi, saying, "Please, lyricist."
“Yes…” Pochi answered the other person in a low voice.
"Goto-kun has been entrusted with an important task, that's really cool," Xi Erjiu said with a smile, praising Boqi. Boqi exclaimed in surprise, "Cool?"
Then she said in a soft, smug tone, "Ah, writing lyrics is a piece of cake, I can do it easily."
"Goto-kun gets so easily flattered."
"I'll definitely write lyrics that have the flair of a top band!" Pochi continued to grin smugly, completely oblivious to the three men staring at her.
