Chapter 225 The fear of being dominated
After breakfast, Ozora, Kitagawa Umi and Ryune went out together early.

Oosora and Kitagawa Umi were going to work, while Ryune was going home to catch up on some sleep.

That’s right, it wasn’t just Iura Hide, Sugaya Noha and Eriri who didn’t sleep well last night, but also the unlucky Ryune who happened to live between Sugaya Noha and Eriri.

In addition, the sound insulation of this old Japanese-style house is not very good, and she is a light sleeper.

From the beginning when Iura Hide carried Sugaya Noha back to the room, to the later game between Iura Hide and Eriri, she happened to hear it all!

This made her toss and turn in the second half of the night, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't fall asleep until dawn.

"It's ok for Senior to be with Eriri, but how can he be with Noha?"

Yes, in Ryune's opinion, what happened between Iura Hide and Eriri was normal. After all, she was present when Eriri blatantly provoked Kitagawa Umi.

Although she was busy eating at the time and didn't pay attention, when the four of them were chatting later, Ozora and Sugaya Noha mentioned several times that Kasumigaoka Utaha and Eriri were interested in Iura Hide, and reminded Kitagawa Umi to pay attention.

So she was mentally prepared for Eriri's liking for Iura Hide and for something to happen between them secretly.

After all, Eriri is the third most beautiful girl in her school. She took the initiative to date Iura Hide. As a boy with normal sexual orientation, it is normal for Iura Hide to not be able to withstand the test.

But she was really unprepared for Noha Sugaya and Hide Iura!

"What should we do? Should we tell Hai Meng about this?"

"Haimeng likes you so much. If she knew about this, she would definitely be very sad and angry. She might even quarrel with Naiyu and break up with him."

"But it would be bad if we don't tell Hai Meng, right? After all, we are good sisters!"

"Right! Why don't we tell Dakong about this first and ask him what to do?"

"Daisora ​​has always been the smartest among the four of us. Maybe she will have a good solution."

"But this is also Nai Yu's privacy, and it also involves Hai Meng. What if neither of them wants others to know?"

"Ahhh-"

"so annoying!"

"My head is going to explode!"

On the way from Iura Hide's house to the subway station, Ryune turned her head several times, wanting to say something but stopping herself from looking at Kitagawa Umi and Oosora beside her.

Unfortunately for Ozora, after being bombarded with dog food by Iura Hide and Kitagawa Umi early in the morning, his faith was shaken. He couldn't help but doubt whether his choice last night was the right one. So he was absent-minded on the way and didn't notice her unusual expression.

In short, among the four people, except for Kitagawa Umi, who didn't notice anything wrong at all and just wanted to finish today's work quickly, Sugaya Noha was in the best mood.

Not only did she finally get what she wanted last night and get one step closer to Iura Hide, but this morning when everyone else was working and going home, she was the only one who could stay openly as the band's manager.

"Senior!"

As soon as she avoided Motoko and Hoshino Ai, Sugaya Noha hugged Iura Hide's neck again, stood on tiptoes, and kissed him.

At this moment, she was like a little fox who had stolen a chicken. She was extremely excited, stimulated and proud. If time hadn't been insufficient, she might have said "Senior, I don't want to either".

It was not until the sound of clear footsteps came from the old wooden stairs that she blushed and reluctantly let go of Jingpu Xiu, pretending to discuss the evening performance with Jingpu Xiu.

"Senior, Sister Xingge has sent me a message saying that our band's tickets have been sold out. 80% of the people who came to watch the performance tonight came to see our band!"

"Unfortunately, just like you said at the beginning, the Stars is too small. It can only accommodate less than a hundred guests at most. Otherwise, if we change to a performance hall like Shinjuku or Akihabara that can accommodate two or three hundred people, there will definitely be more fans watching our performances."

"But will tonight's performance really only be recorded and released as a video, without live streaming? That seems a bit of a pity. With the help of Spotify, our band's YouTube account already has more than 10,000 followers in this week." Noha Sugaya said as if nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, the blush on her face that had not yet faded still attracted a little attention and suspicion from Hoshino Ai.

However, Hoshino Ai just kept it in mind and pretended that she didn't notice anything.

"There's nothing I can do. There are only two songs, and the time is too short for a live broadcast. It's not suitable." Jingpu Xiu also explained with a fake wry smile.

"But your suggestion last time to take a makeup photo of each member of our band and post it on YouTube before the performance officially starts is a good idea."

"Hai Meng said that she will be able to finish filming before 4 pm. By then, Xin Shou will come with her to watch our performance. We can ask her to take pictures for us before the performance starts."

In Iura Hide's opinion, their band's final photo should be similar to the team photos of those gaming clubs in their previous lives. Everyone should take a photo in their team uniform, and then take a group photo at the end.

Anyway, they all look so good, so just take a picture of them, it won’t take much time at all, an hour will be enough.

But after hearing this, Noha Sugaya frowned, obviously not thinking so.

"Four o'clock in the afternoon? If you count the time it takes to get here by subway, it will be almost five o'clock. That shouldn't be enough time, right?"

Seeing that both Iura Hide and Hoshino Ai showed puzzled expressions, she took the initiative to explain: "Before taking pictures, you have to put on makeup and do styling. Haimeng once complained to me that when she and Ozora were shooting for magazines, they spent more time on makeup and styling than on shooting."

After hearing this, Iura Hide was slightly stunned, and Hoshino Ai beside him couldn't help but blink.

"Makeup? Hairstyling? Is this necessary?"

Iura Hide thought about it and it seemed that the last time he helped Kitagawa Umi take a photo, it wasn’t so troublesome?
Moreover, they are a band that makes a living from music, not those idols who make a living from their looks.

Look at the band of Hiroi Kikuri, one is a drunkard, the other is an 'upgraded version of Yamada Ryo', they usually look unkempt. Only Shimizu Eliza pays a little attention to her image, but isn't she still very popular?

There are also Aimer, LiSA, and Lila Ikeda from previous lives. You may not say that they are that good-looking, but aren’t they equally popular?

Besides, except for Yamada Ryo, the rest of the members in their band are all handsome men and beautiful women. Even Pochi-chan, as long as she changes her old-fashioned sportswear, she will be a beauty who is no less beautiful than Hori Kyoko. Is it necessary for her to put on makeup deliberately?
"Of course it's necessary!"

Sugaya Noha said seriously.

"After all, this is our band's first makeup photo shoot. It concerns our band's image, so we must strive for perfection!"

"Okay then," Iura Hide thought about it and decided to follow Sugaya Noha's advice.

"But Hai Meng and Xin Shou won't be here until after four o'clock--"

"It's okay, we can go to the beauty and hair salon that Haimeng and I often go to, put on makeup and style your hair in advance, and then let Xinshou-chan come directly to the store to take pictures!"

Noha Sugaya immediately thought of a solution.

However, after hearing this, Iura Hide couldn't help but froze in his face, and then his mind couldn't help but recall the fear of being dominated by the extremely expensive price of 17600 yen even with a % discount.

"Could it be that barber shop?"

"Damn, a haircut at that shop costs 17600 yen!" "And if you add makeup..."

"I can't afford it even if it's AA!"

After coming back to his senses, Jingpu Xiu started to complain wildly in his heart.

But out of a man's face, he really couldn't say something like 'That store is too expensive, let's go to a cheaper store, or you can help us with our makeup'!

"Fortunately, when Ogasan returned to his hometown, he left some living expenses for Jizi. If she lives frugally, she should be able to support herself until Spotify's song copyright share is paid, right?"

Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but pray silently.

However, Noha Sugaya soon gave him another critical hit, causing his chest to feel stuffy and he almost vomited blood.

"By the way, senior, where are we going to celebrate after our performance tonight? Do you want me to book a restaurant or KTV in advance?"

"."

At this moment, Jingpu Xiu really wanted to press the fast-forward button and fast-forward time to the day when the money was distributed.

Unfortunately, he could only think about it.

At about half past nine, Iura Hide, Hoshino Ai and Sugaya Noha came to Fanxing together. Motoko didn't want to stay at home alone, so she followed them.

"Oh haha, Senior."

"Oh my goodness, Pochi-chan~"

Like usual, Pochi-chan arrived an hour early, but this time she didn't wait at the door because Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo also came early to practice today.

There is also Ijichi Hoshika and the sound engineer sister.

After so many days of contact, Pochi-chan has become much more familiar with them, and even dares to come in alone.

"You guys can practice and rehearse directly on the stage later!"

After a simple greeting, Ichichi Xingge took the initiative to speak.

“Although there is a lack of audience and it is still quite different from a real live performance, it can at least allow you to adapt in advance.”

"Although I don't want to put too much pressure on you, after thinking about it, I still think I should tell you that your performance tonight is very important."

"Because there will be many people from music companies and management companies coming to watch your performance tonight."

“In fact, within half an hour of you releasing the premiere news on Spotify and YouTube, agents from more than ten talent agencies called to book tickets.”

"In addition, in addition to music companies and management companies, many bands and singers in this circle who are interested in you have also called to book tickets."

"If it weren't for the atmosphere on the spot and the subsequent publicity, and if we hadn't deliberately reserved about half of the tickets for the audience, apart from your friends, the entire exhibition hall tonight would probably be filled with people in the industry who are interested in you."

After she finished speaking, everyone at the scene, except for the sound engineer sister standing nearby, looked confused.

Apparently, Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo only learned of the news now.

Then, when everyone came to their senses, they all became nervous unconsciously. Even Yamada Ryo, who was usually a little off, was no exception. The socially phobic Pochi-chan even turned into an emoticon pack.

Everyone couldn't help but look at Jingura Xiu subconsciously.

Iura Hide was also a little nervous at this time, but facing the looks from Hoshino Ai and the others, he knew that as the captain, he had to pretend not to be nervous even if he was pretending.

"This is good news for us, isn't it?"

As Iura Hide said this, his usual sunny smile appeared on his face, and he continued calmly and confidently, "And we don't need to worry about screwing up or failing, because we are still high school and junior high school students, so it's normal even if we screw up."

"Of course the most important thing is that as long as I am here, we will have countless opportunities to try and make mistakes. It doesn't matter if we mess up this time. We can just stand up again next time."

“I am very confident in the songs I wrote~”

At this point, Jing Pu Xiu paused for a moment, and then continued jokingly: "If we really mess up this time, then the worst that can happen is that we don't post the video~"

"Anyway, many of the people who came to watch the show tonight are our 'enemies', and there aren't many real fans."

"As long as we don't post the video, no one will know we screwed up~"

"If those 'enemies' dare to slander us, we will slap them in the face with the sales of our songs!"

As Jing Pu Xiu spoke, he deliberately made an exaggerated and funny gesture of slapping his face, and he almost blurted out "They are just a bunch of people who are trying to take advantage of others."

Yamada Ryo couldn't help but burst out laughing, then turned his head away and whispered, "It turns out that Xiu has the talent to be a comedian."

Then, the others were also infected by his sunny, confident and funny smile. The tension in their hearts dissipated a lot and they all smiled again.

Especially Ijichi Hongxia, her big eyes were shining with a strange light. She looked at Iura Hide infatuatedly, a blush unconsciously appeared on her cheeks, and her heart seemed to skip a beat.

In fact, apart from the socially anxious Pochi-chan, she was the most nervous and stressed.

Becoming a first-rate band and performing on the Budokan stage is not only her own dream, but also her sister's dream.

The sudden passing of her parents forced Ichichi Hoshige to quit the band and give up her dreams to take care of her young daughter.

So even though Ichichi Hoshige had never asked for anything, she still had to carry Ichichi Hoshige's dream on her back.

It's a pity that she really doesn't have any great talent.

It only took Pochi a few years of self-study to reach the level of a first-class guitarist.

And she has the guidance of Ijichi Hoshika, and has practiced longer than Pochi-chan, but after all these years, her level is still just average.

So beneath her energetic appearance, she was actually suppressing a deep sense of anxiety.

Hoshino Ai is Iura Hide's sister, so she doesn't have to worry even if she fails.

But if she falls behind, what if Iura Hide doesn't want her and Yamada Ryo and looks for other drummers and bassists?
With Iura Hide's talent, there must be too many drummers and bassists who want to join Iura Hide's band.

But at this moment, she can finally relax and no longer worry about being kicked out of the band because of one or two failures.

"Okay, without further ado, let's start practicing. Nai Yu has made a reservation at a beauty salon for us, and we need to go there at three in the afternoon."
