Romantic comedy with all members, why am I single?

Chapter 234 An urgent mood

That’s right! As the heroine of a silly comic, Pochi-chan’s train of thought is so unique!
She actually didn't care whether Iura Hide was lying or not. She had known for a long time that there was a problem between Mashiro and Iura Hide anyway.

But why is it that only Mashiro has such a 'nice' and 'special' name?
Isn't she just a small mistake of the senior, and a dedicated guitarist?

So angry!
Pochi-chan kept muttering to herself.

However, although she was angry, her expression was as if she was a puppy who had been abandoned by her owner and could only shiver and huddle in a cardboard box. It just happened to be a rainy day, and she stared at passers-by with her big innocent eyes pitifully, as if hoping that some kind-hearted person would pick her up and take her home.

Jing Pu Xiu glanced at everyone, and it was hard not to notice her.

Can.
"What's wrong with Pochi-chan?"

Jingura Hide felt that when he just met Pochi-chan's eyes for a moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

But as to why this happened, he had no idea.

"I don't think I've done anything to offend Pochi-chan, have I?"

Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but have a question mark on his forehead. Although he had long noticed Pochi-chan's feelings for him, he also planned to take Pochi-chan into his harem.

But because of the sudden intrusion of Kasumigaoka Utaha, Eriri and Sugaya Noha, he was extremely busy for a while.

In addition, Hori Kyoko suddenly fell in love with him "inexplicably", which made him not know how to deal with it.

So he has never done anything to Pochi-chan, so how could he possibly do anything to let her down?

"How about asking Pochi-chan?"

"But even if I have the nerve to ask, Pochi-chan might not tell me given her socially anxious personality."

While thinking, he had already pulled Mashiro to sit at the table, then skillfully took out the bento from the shopping bag in his hand, opened the box, and placed it in front of Mashiro.

There was no other way, as he was in a hurry, he could only buy a lunch box for Mashiro.

However, this time he didn't buy an ordinary bento sold in convenience stores or supermarkets, but a signature fried pork chop bento sold by a popular small shop specializing in bento near the subway station.

Apart from the fact that there are no dining seats and the food is served very quickly, it is basically no different from dining in.

"Mashiro-chan, haven't you had lunch yet?" Ijichi Hongxia asked in surprise.

"Well, Mashiro often forgets the time when she's painting. Of course, the main reason is that she has a very unreliable cousin."

Although it is a bit unkind to complain about others behind their back, if that person is Chihiro Sengoku, Iura Hide will have no burden.

Then, Iura Hide briefly explained how Mashiro transferred from the UK to study for her dream and was not used to the life here yet, and why he agreed to take care of Mashiro.

Of course, the paid content must be ignored during this period.

Then, as expected, he gained everyone's understanding and sympathy for Mashiro.

Especially Eliza Shimizu, who also came from the UK and came to Tokyo alone to pursue her dreams. It was as if she saw her former self in Mashiro.

When she first came to Neon by herself, she made a lot of jokes because she was not used to it.

Because I can’t cook and I don’t have much money, I can only eat two meals a day and I can only buy discounted bento boxes from the supermarket.

It’s sad to think about it.

However, Hoshino Ai felt sympathy for this side, but couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

"So this Shiina Mashiro is the one that Onii-chan goes out early every day to bring breakfast to. He's already that old, but he still can't take care of himself. He's so stupid!"

Objectively speaking, she was able to take care of herself at the age of seven or eight, and is now devoted to studying cooking with Motoko. So she is indeed qualified to complain about Mashiro who knows nothing at the age of seventeen.

But on the other hand, because she is also a sister, after hearing this, she angrily slammed the table and complained about Chihiro Chihiro being unreliable.
Ijichi Hongxia looked at her sideways with an expressionless face.

"Please, before you complain about others, think about who is actually doing the cooking and housework in our family~!"

"Forehead"

The complaints stopped abruptly.

Ichichi Xingge opened her mouth, speechless, and in the end could only laugh dryly and change the subject.

"Ahem. Hey, I think you guys have almost rested enough. Do you want to rehearse again?"

Ijichi Hongxia snorted lightly, then looked at Iura Hide with the others.

"What do you think, Xiu? You just came back, do you want to take a rest first?"

Captain, thigh, gentle, sunny, handsome, senior, onii-chan, the only boy. The various labels on Iura Hide make them feel safe, and they are used to relying on Iura Hide and listening to him in everything.

After all, girls in Japan don’t like to play the heroine or strong woman role.

"No need to rest." Jingpu Xiu took out his phone to check the time, and then continued: "It's 1:40 now. Noha's appointment time is 3 o'clock, so we should leave at about 2:20. The 40 minutes in between is just enough for us to rehearse the three songs together twice."

"Then let's not waste time and start as soon as possible!" Ichichi Xingge, who had just been silent, suddenly reappeared.

Because she just went to buy lunch, she hasn't seen Iura Hide and the others rehearse "Youth Syndrome" yet.

It is worth mentioning that when Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo got the music score, she also leaned over to take a look, then just hummed a part of the melody in her head and immediately fell in love with the song.

Although both are rock songs, this song "Youth Syndrome" is undoubtedly more authentic and more to her taste.

At the same time, Mashiro, who had been sitting quietly beside Iura Hide and eating her lunch box, also raised her head, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her cat-like eyes.

Although she is only interested in comics and not music, if it is a song written by Iura Shu, then of course it is a different matter.

I have to say that the song "Youth Syndrome" also belongs to the category of songs with a killer prelude. As soon as the prelude sounded, not only Elisa Shimizu and Hoshika Ijichi's DNA immediately started moving.

Mashiro was also attracted by the melody, and the rice grains in the bento and the bread crumbs on the fried pork cutlet unknowingly filled her mouth.

If Jing Pu Xiu hadn't used tissue to cover her clothes in advance, she would probably have gotten her clothes dirty too.

While Mashiro was "eating and watching the show", Kitagawa Ume and Oosora, who had just finished a set of shooting and returned to the dressing room, took out their lunch boxes and ate them carefully while they were touching up their makeup and changing their looks. "I say, do you two have to fight so hard? Can't you just eat first and then put on your makeup?"

The makeup artist behind her couldn't help but complain when she saw this.

Kitagawa Umi smiled out of habit when she heard that, but when she thought about the risk of ruining her makeup and getting rice on her body, she quickly put away her smile and explained in a deadpan manner, "My boyfriend has an important performance tonight, so I have to go over early to accompany him."

The makeup artist behind him, whose last relationship had ended five or six years ago, was startled when she heard this, and then she couldn't help but complain: "There's no need to be so anxious, and how long does it take to have lunch? Ten minutes should be enough, right?"

This time, before Kitagawa Umi could speak, Dakong on the side rushed to say, "Don't even mention ten minutes. If it weren't for the fact that these tasks couldn't be postponed, Umi wouldn't want to be separated from her boyfriend for even a second, okay~"

"what--"

After hearing this, the makeup artist immediately made an exaggerated gesture of disgust, but then she couldn't help but become curious.

"Important performance? Or at night? Is your boyfriend a resident singer in a bar?"

"I'm not a resident singer in a bar!" Kitagawa Umi immediately frowned and said.

Although she did not mean to look down on those bar singers, and strictly speaking, Jingpu Xiu and his group did have the status of a resident independent band in the performance hall, but in her opinion, Jingpu Xiu's achievements were far higher than those of ordinary bar singers.

But she didn't want outsiders to know Jingpu Xiu's identity, so when the makeup artist asked curiously: "What does your boyfriend do?", she didn't know how to explain for a moment.

Yes, although Iura Hide never asked Kitagawa Umi to keep their relationship secret, whether in the talent class or at other times, he generously and actively admitted that Kitagawa Umi was his girlfriend.

However, in order to avoid affecting Iura Hide's "acting career", Kitagawa Umi never told Iura Hide's name and identity to anyone except Oosora and the other two.

At this time, Dakong, who was standing by, seemed to see her dilemma through the mirror and took the initiative to speak for her: "Her boyfriend is in an independent band."

The makeup artist suddenly understood what was going on, and then said half curiously and half teasingly, "I thought Hai Meng would find a professional cosplayer even if she had a boyfriend, but I didn't expect she would find someone who plays in a band. There's an important performance tonight, right? How about I buy a ticket to show my support?"

"Thank you, but I don't need to. The tickets for my boyfriend's band's performance were sold out early this morning."

"Eh? Is Haimeng's boyfriend's band a very famous band?" The makeup artist couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"Of course~!" Kitagawa Umi said without hesitation, and raised her chin slightly unconsciously.

Then Dakong on the side also said with a smile: "To put it simply, even if Haimeng doesn't work from now on, she can still live the life of a rich wife~"

After hearing this, the makeup artist was even more surprised.

"A rich wife's life? That would require an income of at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yen a year, right?"

"It seems that Hai Meng's boyfriend's band must be really famous. Maybe even I, who don't pay much attention to music, have heard of it."

"But why does Daisora ​​look so proud and complacent?"

"Could it be that"

"No way, no way!?"

I don’t know if it was due to a woman’s intuition or she was just a bit shy, but the makeup artist suddenly thought of some deep paid content in her head, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Kitagawa Umi and Oosora became a little strange.

"Well, Hai Meng and Dakong are both models and hot girls. If that's true, it seems quite normal."

On the other side, Dakong saw that the makeup artist suddenly stopped talking, and couldn't help but look up through the mirror.

After noticing the strange look in the makeup artist's eyes, the smart girl was stunned at first, and then she immediately guessed what the makeup artist was thinking.

For a moment, even though she had been working in nightclubs for many years, she couldn't help but blush.

"hateful!"

"These old women who are still unmarried at such an old age are so sad!"

"No! I can't become like these guys in the future!"

"Well! I must find a boyfriend soon!"

Dakong muttered to himself, and suddenly, the indescribable scene between Iura Hide and Sugaya Noha in the bathroom last night emerged involuntarily in his mind. Suddenly, his heartbeat and breathing became rapid.

"In fact, it's a good strategy to reduce the difficulty by knocking it down first!"

She always complained about Kitagawa Umi, but at this moment she suddenly realized that she could be quite stupid sometimes.

Whether it’s novels, cartoons, or TV dramas, aren’t there always those plots where something happens by accident and then they slowly fall in love?

It looks very sweet and beautiful!
Then she thought again that tonight was the first performance of Jingpu Xiu's band, and they should celebrate after the performance. For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.

But unfortunately, once some opportunities are missed, they will never appear again, at least in the short term.

Since Hiroi Kikuri, Ijichi Hoshika and the others are also here, we won't be going to Iura Hide's house to celebrate tonight.

"I'm full! How about you, Daisora?"

Hai Meng's energetic voice suddenly rang out, waking up Dakong who was daydreaming.

"Yeah, I'm full too."

"Then let's get back to work!"

"it is good!"

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but Osora, who felt a little tired before, is now full of motivation. His eagerness to finish the filming as soon as possible is no less than that of Kitagawa Umi.

As the two of them raced against time, and with the original ordinary photographer being replaced by the talented photographer Qian Xinshou, the shooting speed, which was already fast, increased a lot again.

However, in comparison, Yuriko Hori was faster after receiving Sota's call.

"Hurry up, Kyoko-chan! Have a good date with Hide-kun~ Don't come back too early tonight, don't worry, Sota is under the care of Oga-san, it's okay even if you stay out all night, but if you really have to stay out all night, remember to take precautions and don't let anyone get killed. Oga-san has to work, the most she can do is help you take care of Sota."
