Chapter 57: The long day is not over yet

After visiting the shopping street, Ren Suzuki's weekend travel plan came to an end.

It's not that Ren Suzuki can't think of other activities, it's just that he and Ichichi Hikaru have part-time jobs at [STARRY] tonight.

"Then Suzuki-kun and I will go back to [STARRY] together~ Goodbye everyone~ See you on Monday!"

At the parting intersection, Yijizhi Hongxia waved to the other three people.

But of course, the title that Yijizhi Hongxia just said will not be easily fooled.

"Suzuki...kun?"

Kita Ikuyo looked at Ichichi Hongka in surprise.

"Isn't this title change too sudden?!"

"It's not sudden. After all, we are already teammates in the same band. It would feel a bit weird to use honorifics... And if you really want to say it, wouldn't Ryo have started calling him 'Suzuki' a long time ago?" Is it done?”

Itachi Hongxia said in a confident tone:

"It would be better to say that I have been waiting for Kita and Pachi-chan to give up honorifics first. You are obviously in the same school and in the same grade. Logically speaking, you should have stopped using honorifics between you."

"Well... I have always thought so, but... Suzuki-san feels too mature, so I subconsciously... right?"

"...(nodding silently)"

"Well, that's true."

Yi Dizhi Hongxia was also quite helpless about this.

She was obviously one year older than Ren Suzuki, but she could never regard herself as a "senior" when facing Ren Suzuki.Especially when Ren Suzuki speaks seriously, she will even straighten her back subconsciously...

"Anyway, since we are already friends who can hang out together on weekends, let's stop using honorifics with each other!"

"Oh!"

"This, this..."

Kita Ikuyo agreed happily, but Goto Ichiri showed a rather hesitant expression after hearing this.

"I, my word...it may take some time to get used to it."

For social anxiety, once he has adapted to a certain title or a certain way of getting along, it will be difficult for him to change it.

Even if it is the other party's request, even if she knows in advance that the other party will not be disgusted by it, she still needs a long time to adapt to the change in title.

"Okay, as for little Pochi... just adapt to it slowly at your own pace."

Yijichi Hongxia also expressed his understanding of this.

Then, she turned her attention to Ren Suzuki beside her and touched him gently with her elbow.

"What about you? Suzuki-kun, do you want to express your feelings?"

"What does it mean?"

"Try calling me by my name?"

"……Fine."

Although Suzuki Ren always uses honorifics habitually, it is not difficult for Suzuki Ren to directly call others by their names.

So, under the gaze of the four girls, Ren Suzuki called out in an extremely ordinary tone:

"Is that okay, Ichichi?"

"Wow~"

Yijizhi Hongxia's eyes widened immediately after hearing this.

Being called by your name while being looked at by a boy in a face-to-face situation is already embarrassing, and the other person is also an extremely handsome guy...

She began to understand a little bit about the college girls who gathered at the drink bar every night.

"This is truly an incredible experience... Now, would you try it on someone else?"

"Is this necessary...?"

"Very much! Very much!"

As Ichichi Hongka said this, he pulled Goto Ichiri, who had been watching closely from the beginning, over.

"Come on, try it on little Pochi too!"

"Eh?"

Gotou, who was suddenly pulled to his side, only had time to make a short and surprised sound.

And the next second, the expression on her face suddenly froze——

"Goto."

"…………"

After hearing this title, Goto Ichiri felt that his whole brain was shaking slightly, and there was an inexplicable numbness all over his body.

It's obviously just the most ordinary tone, but it still has the magical power that makes people want to cheer loudly.

Is it because of his eyes that are always looking at her?Or is it the sense of dislocation brought about by the disappearance of this sense of distance?

Goto Ichiri himself didn’t know.

All she knew was that just thinking that she would be called this way by Suzuki Ren in the future made her heart beat faster uncontrollably.

Finally, after ten seconds of blank brain time, she tremblingly took out her wallet and asked in a vain tone:

"How much does this... cost?"

"You don't need it, it's not the kind of store that provides decent services."

Suzuki Ren said with a speechless face:

"It's just a name change, there's no need to react in such an exaggerated way, right?"

Just a title can make her shake to such an extent. When this child grows up, she will definitely be the type who is easily deceived by a cowherd...

It's really worrying.

"Ah~ Is this the power of a handsome guy? It's really scary."

On the other side, looking at Goto Ichiri's little face that was already red to the ears, Ichichi Hikaru said with a wicked smile:

"How about little Pochi coming back to [STARRY] with the two of us?"

"......Today, let's forget it today."

Goto Ichisato immediately shook his head.

"I want to go back quickly...to finish our original song..."

"! Little Pochi..."

After hearing what Ichiri Gotou said, Ijichi Hongxia immediately showed a very moved expression.

"As expected of our lead guitarist, I'll leave it to you next!"

"Well, please leave it to me."

Goto Yisato nodded seriously.

"I will do my best to complete it!"

........................

"Ah...little Bochi is such a good child."

On the way back to [STARRY], Ijichi Hongxia said with emotion:

"Not only is he cute and plays the guitar well, but he also has such a strong sense of responsibility. I am really lucky to have found such a guitarist."

"...If we talk about luck, your meeting must be the same for Goto."

Ren Suzuki said.

"Before this, Goto had been looking for an opportunity that would allow her to show her talents. But you also know her situation. If it was the kind of band that was too mature and complete, Goto would definitely not be able to integrate quickly. Go in, if there are people who are difficult to get along with among the members, Goto will probably not be able to show his strength. And this 'Ending Band', which was founded entirely by high school girls, can be said to be the best place for Goto. .So, you don’t need to specialize Goto’s existence, you just need to treat her normally, treat her as an ordinary band member, and grow up with her.”

"...Suzuki-kun."

After listening to Suzuki Ren's words, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly frowned slightly.

"Although this may be my imagination...but I still have a question to ask you."

"……what is the problem?"

"Are you... planning to leave and end the band?"

"…………"

Faced with Ichichi Hongka's sudden question, Suzuki Ren fell into a brief silence.

Chapter 58: Predictable ending

"Why do you think so?"

Ren Suzuki asked:

"Did I just say something strange?"

"...Well, how should I put it, it's mainly because of all the things that happened today."

Itachi Hongxia held her chin and said:

"First, the group photo in the morning... Logically speaking, it is normal for people who go out to play together to take a group photo, but your attitude seems to have never thought about including yourself in it. Even if you You used taking the band's headshot as an excuse, but judging from your reaction when Kita went to ask passers-by... you actually didn't want to take this photo."

"..."

"Then when it came time to buy team uniforms, Suzuki didn't seem to regard himself as a member of the band at all. If it were someone like Poch, I could understand it, but Suzuki is not that kind of marginal person... …It wasn’t until all of us explained to you how important you were to us that you finally seemed to accept what we had to say.”

"..."

"The last and most critical point...is your attitude towards little Boqi. Ever since little Boqi became strong, you seem to have been deliberately guiding her to complete various things on her own. Obviously before this, you You have almost always taken care of her in every detail, but now you seem to be deliberately pushing her to us again..."

Having said this, Ichichi Hongka looked at Ren Suzuki with slightly worried eyes.

"Because you have always been classmates, so I can't say it's a 'change of heart.' Plus, coupled with the efforts you have made for little Boqi, I can also believe that you definitely have no ill intentions towards her. If If that's the case, combined with what you did today... I can only think that you wanted to hand over Little Poch to us before leaving the band..."

"...So that's how it is."

After listening to Itichi Hongka's explanation, Ren Suzuki immediately understood where her suspicion came from.

The contrast in attitude before and after, the unnatural sense of distance, and my own behavior of deliberately marginalizing myself today...

If it was Ijichi Hongka, who had always cared about all the members of the band, it would not be surprising to notice these inconsistencies.

Coupled with what he just said, it does sound like he wants to entrust Gotou Ichiri to them.

"I really underestimate you."

Ren Suzuki couldn't help but smile bitterly and said:

"Both Yamada and you... are so sharp that it's scary."

"It's not so much that we are sharp, but that Suzuki-kun has always been too conspicuous."

Yijizhi Hongxia shook her head.

"It's not just your appearance... your words and deeds are also the same. Your gentleness towards little Boqi really left a deep first impression on us. After that, once you show different feelings, as long as it is... Anyone who has been paying attention to you will definitely be able to notice it.”

"Then...will Goto do the same?"

"Well... I'm not sure. After all, she is a child who would be satisfied with just changing her name to the point where she would smile like a fool. Even if you are a little colder to her, it might not have any impact on her."

"..."

Suzuki Ren pursed her lips slightly after hearing this, and then said:

"Anyway, you should believe that... I don't have any ill intentions towards Goto, right?"

"of course."

Yijizhi Hongxia firmly believed in this.
