"I...I..." Goto Ichiri said "I" several times, then suddenly stopped and bent down towards Lu Yu: "I'm sorry, Mr. Producer, I'm the one who dragged down the entire band, please punish me... But, please, don't let me leave the band..."

"Ah, so this is what you think, Pochi-chan?"

It turned out that Goto Ichiri was worried that he would fire her.

But this is normal. After all, the mistake she made today was indeed serious enough that if she were in an ordinary band, even if Bochi would not be fired, she would be gradually marginalized.

"Hey, Pochi-chan, why do you think I support you?"

"What for?" Goto Ichiri was stunned. After thinking for a moment, she replied timidly, "Money?"

"Well, this answer is both right and wrong, but think about it carefully. If it's for money, then let's not consider the profit first, just the cost. How long do you think it will take for me to recoup the money I spent on you?"

"..."

After thinking about it carefully, Goto Ichiri realized that this seemed to be a problem.

There are nine people in the two bands excluding Ruyu himself. The monthly salary expenses are 1.8 million yen, and this is only the most basic expenditure. There are also many other miscellaneous expenses.

For example, in terms of musical instruments, Lu Yu gave each of the nine people a budget of 500,000 yuan at one time. This budget is for everyone. Even for the lead singer like Gao Songdeng who doesn't need a musical instrument, Lu Yu gave her 500,000 yuan and let her buy whatever she needs. And for this performance, the two bands alone had a huge expense for costumes.

It can be said that at the moment, you can’t see any money being made, but the money being spent is real.

"Pochi, actually, whether it's MyGO or Bond, my purpose of supporting you is not to gain something from you, so you really don't need to worry that I will fire you or something. Once the members of the band are determined, you will be irreplaceable. I can assure you of this."

"!!!"

Hearing that she would not be expelled, Goto Ichiri's heart finally settled down. Fortunately, as long as she would not be expelled, she could accept any punishment.

"Pochi, I didn't lie to you today. Even though the performance of the four of you was poor, in my eyes you all did what you were supposed to do. The same goes for the other three people, and you as well. Even if you couldn't play it well, you were still trying hard. This is not just a compliment."

"I am very satisfied with your performance today. I am not lying. However, I am not satisfied with your performance. Your performance itself was a failure. There is no doubt about that."

"What I am satisfied with is the attitude of the four of you, because at least it makes me feel that you are trying hard."

"but......"

Lu Yu changed the subject.

"Pochi, we can't keep going like this, don't you understand?"

"Um......"

Of course Goto Ichiri understood what Sagiba said. Is there any need to ask this question? She is a guitarist. If she continues like this, what is the point of her career?

"Pochi, starting tomorrow, you won't be training with the others for a while."

Ruyu glanced at Goto Ichiri's panel. Her 90% excellent electric guitar skills were the best among any member of the two bands. Having her participate in the band's training would actually have little effect on improving her personal technical level. Compared to this, Ruyu felt that he had to help solve Pochi's social phobia problem first.

Although socially anxious Pochi-chan is cute, they are musicians who are planning to become professional musicians, and having severe social anxiety is certainly not an acceptable attribute.

"Not training with everyone? What about me?"

"Regarding your training schedule, you can wait at home after school tomorrow and get your guitar ready. I will pick you up, okay?"

"Ah."

Although he didn't know what Sagiba was going to do, Goto Ichiri still agreed.

Just like that, after making the agreement, Sagiba sent Goto Ichiri back to the Goto family and left.

the next day.

Lu Yu sent messages to both bands asking them to continue training, and specifically informed the Bond Band that he would arrange special training methods for Pochi.

"Senior Hongxia, Senior Liang, the producer said that there will be special training in the 1st rank, so the three of us will practice for the next period of time."

"Ah."

Ichichi Hongxia nodded. Of course she had seen Luyu's message.

"Brother Lu Yu gave Ichiri-chan a private training. It seems that Brother Lu Yu said he would send Ichiri-chan home last night because of this matter."

"Hongxia, what do you think the special training that the producer has prepared for Pochi-chan will be like?" Yamada Ryo came over and asked curiously.

"do not know."

Ijichi Hongxia answered honestly that she didn't know what the special training was about.

"Will it be a devilish special training?! Like taking me to the mountains to play guitar under the washing of a waterfall, or playing on the top of a mountain?"

"How is that possible? What are you thinking about?!"

"I think this would be cool, something like [Goto Ichiri, you must play Fumino's theory of happiness a thousand times under the wash of the waterfall. If you can't play it, you are not allowed to go home!]? It sounds like a devilish training!"

"Liang, what kind of person do you think Lu Yu-niang is? He wouldn't propose such special training."

"That's right, Senior Liang, the producer is very gentle, although I was shocked by his strictness when he asked us to go on stage yesterday." Kita Ikuyo continued.

"Oh? Kita, you've only joined for a few days and you've already been bribed by the producer." Yamada Ryo seemed to be thinking about something.

"No! I'm just telling the truth!"

Yamada Ryo asked: "Tell me the truth, let me ask you, Kita, do you think the producer looked particularly handsome yesterday?!"

"Well, a little bit!"

"Damn it, it seems that you, Kita, have also been attracted to the producer. It seems that the number of my love rivals has increased again!"

Kita Ikuyo was shocked to hear Yamada Ryo say this.

"Eh? So Ryo-senpai, you like Producer-san?"

"Yes! I like it!" Yamada Ryo answered without hesitation.

"..."

Seeing that his admired senior answered so straightforwardly, Kita felt that Yamada Ryo didn't like Sagiwa at all.

Of course, this is exactly the case. Yamada Ryo’s answer to Ruyu’s liking should actually be.

Yes, she likes Lu Yu, for her money.

"Okay, both of you, train hard. I've asked Brother Luyu, and the performance scheduled for fifteen days later has not been cancelled. If we don't intensify our training, there will be all kinds of problems in the next performance!"

"And Liang, don't joke about this. Feelings are very important and can't be joked about casually, understand!"

The little angel is a little angel. After instructing Yamada Ryo, she took the two of them to start training. Of course, Hongxia was also praying for Ruyu and Goto Ichiri at this time.

Pochi-chan, special training, come on!

On the other side, Sagiba had already arrived at Goto's house and took Goto Ichiri away.

"Pochi, here's this."

After leaving the house, Ruyu handed something he had prepared in advance to Goto Ichiri.

"This is......"

Goto Ichiri took the thing that Ruyu handed to her and took a look. It was a mask, the kind of mask that people would wear in the masquerade parties on TV. She had one, and Ruyu also had one.

"The mask is something you and I will both have to wear for the next period of time. Put it on."

"Oh."

Although he didn't know what Sagiba was planning to do, Goto Ichiri still put on the mask obediently.

Today, Goto Ichiri brought a guitar as instructed by Sagiha last night. As for her clothes, she wore a set of cute casual clothes that girls of this age would wear. The clothes were matched by Kita Ikuyo. Sagiha had previously asked Kita Ikuyo to help match some suitable clothes for Pochi, and Kita Ikuyo naturally completed the task well.

"Um, Mr. Producer, where are we going?"

"Go to Shinbashi SL Plaza."

After hailing a taxi, the two arrived at Shinbashi in Minato Ward, Tokyo in about ten minutes.

The SL Plaza in Shimbashi is located not far from the Shimbashi subway station. This square is well-known throughout Tokyo. It is famous for being the largest large-screen square in Neon. The square is very large and the front can be seen from the station platform. Almost every night there are many pedestrians coming out to enjoy the cool air and take a walk in the square.

"Okay, we're here."

After getting off the taxi, Lu Yu took Pochi-chan to a somewhat remote corner of the square.

"Pochi, this is where we will be training for the next period of time."

"Ugh?"

"Why, you don't understand? It's okay, you will understand soon."

Lu Yu suddenly took a few steps forward, took a deep breath and shouted to the pedestrians around him: "Good evening, everyone. I'm sorry to bother you. I'm a wandering singer who dreams of becoming a singer. Today I want to sing a few songs for you. I implore you to stop and listen to my work."

After saying this, Lu Yu ignored Goto Ichiri and walked forward about ten meters with his mask on. Under all kinds of strange looks from the pedestrians in the square, Lu Yu suddenly started to sing.

[Things that come to mind are family matters]

[Fumino is my older sister, so please take good care of everyone.]

The song is still Fumino's Theory of Happiness, which is the debut song of the Bond Band and the song that Goto Ichiri has practiced the most.

Although it was just a cappella without any accompaniment, the singing skills that had reached the master level naturally made the passers-by who had just looked at her strangely change their minds.

The song was finished in a few minutes, and there were about twenty people surrounding Lu Yu.

"Young man! You sing well!"

"Oh! Another one!"

Passersby expressed their opinions one after another. There was no need to say much about how well Lu Yu sang. He could be said to be the person in the world who was most familiar with this song. In addition, his singing skills had already reached the master level, so it was naturally easy for him to conquer the audience.

And in the distance, Goto Ichiri, who was hiding in a shadow in the square, was also excited after listening to Sagiba's song.

Yes, Mr. Producer still sings so beautifully, and unlike her, Mr. Producer can sing even in this kind of occasion, but she...

"You sing so beautifully, it would be nice if someone was willing to accompany you!"

"Yes, yes, it would be nice if someone is willing to accompany you."

The opinion of one audience member was supported by others, that it was a pity that such a song had no accompaniment.

"Yes, of course there is accompaniment. My partner will be here soon. She is not far away."

"is it?"

The audience became confused. They looked around but saw nothing.

"Young man, where is your partner?" asked a passerby.

"She's preparing, she's great, to me she's the best guitarist in the world, give her some time, she'll be here soon."

"I see, since you said so, young man. Then let's wait a little longer. Can you sing the song again? This song reminds me of my family..."

"Of course." Lu Yu nodded.

So Sagiha sang Fumino's theory of happiness again, but this time, Pochi still didn't come.

"Has your companion not arrived yet?" another passerby asked.

Lu Yu smiled and said, "Soon, she will be here soon. Everyone, let me sing another original song of mine for you."

As he spoke, Sagi Yu glanced at Goto Ichiri who was hiding in the shadows and dared not come out. He said nothing, but just chose a song and continued singing.

If one time doesn’t work, try twice. If two times doesn’t work, try four times. If it doesn’t work today, try tomorrow. If it doesn’t work tomorrow, try the day after tomorrow.

While singing, Lu Yu cast a gentle gaze towards the shadows, "Pochi, I will keep singing here until you muster up the courage to accompany me."

What about you?

"..."

One song, two songs, five songs, ten songs, twenty songs.

The accompaniment was slow to arrive and the audience kept changing.

"Young man, I'm afraid your friends won't come." asked a spectator who had stopped at the beginning.

"She will come."

With a smile on his face, Lu Yu prepared to sing his next song, this one was about jealousy.

At this moment, a voice suddenly appeared behind everyone.

"Um, everyone, I'm really sorry."

Everyone turned around and saw a girl holding a guitar. Because she suddenly attracted everyone's attention, the girl's body trembled for a moment, but even so, she still closed her eyes and tried to walk to Lu Yu's side and stand with Lu Yu.

Then the girl opened her eyes and took a deep breath.

"I am this gentleman's accompanist, here I come!"
