Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

The food was delicious and the portions were generous. It was arguably the best meal Chen had eaten since his transmigration.

We should never forget those who dug the well when we drink the water. Chen wants to express his deepest respect for the mother who prepared such a thoughtful meal for us.

"Ah~ I'm so satisfied. Ichiri, please thank your aunt for me when you get back. It was truly an honor to be a guest at Ichiri's house this time!"

"I...I am the one who should convey Chen's gratitude to Mother!"

This lunch truly exceeded Chen's expectations, making him so satisfied.

Dear Mother, please do more from now on! Your daughter really needs this time alone with Chen at noon!

After finishing their afternoon classes, the three began looking for a venue for their planned event.

Unfortunately, none of them were very familiar with this area.

Miss Aiyin just returned from England not long ago.

Poch's house is far away from here.

Chen, needless to say, is from an entirely different world.

Just when the group was at a loss, Poch, who had been silent all along, offered a suggestion.

"I... I know a small park nearby. It's usually not crowded there. We can go there."

Led by Miss Ichiri, the three embarked on a journey into the unknown.

Looking ahead at Yili, Aine finally found a chance to speak with Chen alone.

She had long been critical of the intimate way the two addressed each other. Even though she had known Chen first, Chen still addressed her so formally!

"Hey Chenchen, you keep calling Goto-kun 'Ichiri' these days, isn't that a bit too intimate?"

Pochi, who was listening intently to what was happening behind her, said that although they were both pink-haired, she didn't mind her own business and was happy to be called that.

"Chihaya-san, do you feel that even though I've known you longer, I'm not as good as Goto-san?"

A woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea.

Chen could only deduce the answer to Miss Aine's question based on the available information.

"What?! I didn't...!"

Subconsciously, Miss Aine refuted Chen's words.

But seeing Chen's ambiguous smile, she finally admitted it.

“Every time I hear Chen Chen Chihaya-san, Chihaya-san, I feel a bit of annoyance.”

"Then I'll just call you by your name? Aine?"

Although her friends often call her by her name, since they are all girls, this is the first time she has been called by her name by a boy.

Miss Aine tried her best to suppress the strange feelings in her heart and agreed.

"Okay, no problem~ After all, I already gave you a nickname~"

The power of the slanted angle was terrifying; Miss Ichiri in front of her deeply felt the gap between herself and Aine.

Lost in deep self-doubt, she didn't notice that the two people behind her had ended their conversation.

She didn't turn around until she felt a gentle tap on her shoulder.

Facing her was another pink-haired girl with a bright smile.

"Ah, Goto-kun, can I call you Ichiri like Chenchen does? Calling you 'Goto-kun' feels too formal. I'd love to be good friends with Ichiri too~"

He completely disregarded her opinion and started calling her by her name!

Aine noticed Ichiri's obvious wavering.

Isn't this a bit too hasty?

Miss Aine looked at Chen with that questioning gaze, only to receive a slight shake of her head in response.

"If Goto-san isn't used to it, then..."

Interlace your fingers and tighten your grip on your hands behind your back.

"Just call me that, use the name Yili!"

She did it! She invited everyone except Chen to call her by her name!

Miss Ichiri was setting off fireworks in her heart for her milestone achievement.

"Okay~ then I'll call you Ichiri~ Ichiri, you can call me Aine too!"

"Ai, Ai-yin!"

"We don't need to add that classmate anymore. But, like Chenchen said, Yili is indeed a very good kid~"

The pure and innocent Ichiri made Aine sigh in admiration.

"Huh?! What strange thing did I do?!" Ichiri exclaimed in a panic.

"No, Yili, let's get along well from now on~ Even though Chen asked me to be your friend..."

But now, I myself feel so grateful to have become friends with Ichiri!

"I am deeply honored. Please guide me for the rest of my life!"

Ichiri bowed deeply to Ayane, who was so tolerant.

"One, one li! We don't need to do that anymore!"

Miss Aine was startled.

"You were startled, weren't you? You should accept Ichiri's feelings properly, Miss Aine!"

Chen couldn't help but gloat at Miss Aine, who was startled.

"You're malicious!" Ai Yin glared at Chen Chuihuzi.

The short journey was quickly covered amidst the three of them playfully bickering.

"Right, right here," Pochi whispered a warning.

"Okay, Pochi, get the guitar out first."

Just as the three were preparing for the lesson, an unexpected voice came from afar.

"Should I call it the world's corrective force or something else? It's such a coincidence..."

Gazing at the distinctive blond hair and the Doritos floating above his head, Chen marveled at the coincidences of the world.

"Ah, it's a guitar!"

Reset complete. Looking at the Photoshop I wrote before brings back some memories.

Chapter 9 Heading to the Stars

The girl running towards them was surprised but even more eager.

No band performances ending because members ran away – that's unacceptable!

She had also invited her classmates and friends to come and see; wouldn't it be terrible if something like this went wrong!

This archangel from Shimokitazawa did not sit idly by and wait for his fate; he decided to take a gamble.

The probability of finding a wild guitarist is low, but it's definitely not zero.

As she continued her search, a pink figure holding a guitar caught her attention in the park ahead.

She was on the verge of tears when she couldn't find a guitarist!

The pink-haired girl who suddenly appeared in front of her must be her destined guitarist!

So, Hongxia ran towards the small park.

But when she got close to the guitarist, she found that he had vanished.

Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! There's a weirdo!

This was Boqi's first reaction. Who would yell and charge forward with a guitar when they first meet someone?

She hid behind Chen, not daring to peek out to see what was going on.

Is this karma for her fabricating a "real-life" persona online?!

Hongxia's refresh was truly unexpected; it took Chen a while to react.

But now it seems that today is the day when Hongxia and the others will perform on stage for the first time.

This destined relationship must not be altered by his intervention.

"Hello, may I ask who you are? Also, the way you ran over just now startled my friend. Whatever you're going to say next, could you please apologize to her first?"

"That's right, that's right, it was really scary to see someone running over shouting like that!"

Aine echoed Chen's words.

"Yes, I'm sorry! I was too abrupt! I'm so sorry for startling your friends!"

"My name is Ijichi Nijika, a second-year student at Shimokitazawa High School!"

Before the three, the girl who called herself Hongxia stood with her hands clasped together, her eyes closed, and bowed slightly to express her apology.

She didn't forget the band's urgent situation, and after introducing herself, she explained her purpose to everyone.

"Well, I've formed a band, and we're going to perform soon!"

"But our band's lead singer and guitarist suddenly disappeared! They didn't send us any information."

"So I ran out to find a temporary replacement, and when I saw that pink-haired girl carrying a guitar, I got so excited, so..."

"I'm so sorry!"

Chen was more interested in Miss Aine standing to the side than Chen.

"Oh, Ijichi-kun formed a band? I was a guitarist in junior high school too."

"Huh?! Really? Where's that pink-haired girl?"

Hongxia was still very curious about Boqi, who was hiding; her intuition told her that this was the guitarist she was destined for.

It wouldn't be a problem for the two bands to swap guitarists, since they both have pink hair anyway.

But for Pochi, it might be hell.

"She's my guitar teacher; she's here today to teach me how to play guitar."

Chen, who had been silently observing the two girls' interaction, finally spoke up.

"Her guitar skills are top-notch, but she's very shy and has never played in front of an audience."

"If you, Ichi, want to invite her, I can ask her if she's interested."

"Please be sure! Um, what should I call you?"

My name is Chen Chen, and I'm from Donghuang.

Miss Aine, who hadn't yet come to terms with reality, was extremely interested in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to shine! And the lead guitarist/vocalist position she's been eyeing has just become vacant!

So she volunteered herself to Hongxia.

"I can help out too! How about I be the guitarist and vocalist?"

"My name is Chihaya Aine, and I'm from Haneoka. I'm so glad to have met Nijika!"

"No problem! Thank you so much, Aine!"

The remaining issue is whether Pochettino is willing to seize this opportunity.

The light emitted by the two individuals with holy attributes caused Yili, who was hiding behind Chen, to run even further away.

She leaned against a tree, calming herself down.

"In Yili, that blonde girl formed a band, but because her guitarist suddenly ran away, they're looking for backup members."

"Her name is Ichiri Ichichi. Would you like to accept her invitation?"

Although Ichiri is a guitar hero with 30,000 subscribers on YouTube.

If she wanted to hold a concert, large venues could be filled to capacity.
