Upon seeing Shiina Tatsuki dressed in revealing clothing, everyone immediately froze on the spot.
"Riki, why are you already wearing a swimsuit?"
Faced with Aine's innocent question, Shiina Tatsuki, who was only wearing a black swimsuit, paused for a second before crossing her arms and scolding, "Didn't you say you were going to wear a swimsuit?"
"But it's not like you can just change right away. Could it be that Riki actually has an exhibitionist fetish? Well, your figure is indeed amazing."
It turns out that beautiful women attract not only men but also women.
Aine looked her up and down with great interest, which made Shiina Riki's delicate face blush, and tears of shame and indignation seemed to well up in the corners of her eyes.
"Don't look at me like that, you idiot Aine!"
"Hey hey hey?"
After hastily throwing on a coat to cover himself, Shiina Tatsuki hurriedly ran into the changing room, and when he came out, he wrapped himself up tightly like a rice dumpling.
Well, although her figure isn't quite as good as our Su Shi's, it's still amazing.
[Want to lick]
roll.
For some reason, as if sensing Hachiman's thoughts, Shiina Tatsuki cast a threatening, sharp look at him: "Hachiman, if you dare to look around again, I'll poke out your dead fish eyes!"
"Hey, that's a personal attack! My eyes are just a little rotten!"
Hachiman immediately retorted.
Before he could finish speaking, Hachiman felt a death stare from behind him and couldn't help but shudder.
Suze: "Then let's not delay, everyone hurry up and take the group photo before sunset. Hachiman, I'll leave the rest to you."
No matter how bright the smile, it couldn't hide the intense killing intent in his tone. He only glanced at her; it wasn't that...
Not daring to say anything more, Hachiman obediently nodded.
"Hmph, bronchitis."
Shiina Riki made a sarcastic remark and walked towards the temporary photo spot that had been set up, arms crossed.
Damn it, who are you calling henpecked? You've got a hard fist now.
Holding his camera, Hachiman quickly followed.
Although the DSLR I have here is an older model that I brought back from Chiba, it can't compare to Kaguya Shinomiya's latest flagship camera, but it's more than enough for taking non-commercial group photos.
After several months of training, Hachiman had gained some experience in handling the camera, and thus, he took a set of decent photos in less than half an hour.
"Next is the post-processing. Everyone is free to move around. If you want to go in the water, now is the time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shiina Tatsuki couldn't wait to grab his luggage and walk towards the seawall.
"You guys have fun, I have to go back now."
"Wait, Riki, don't go!"
Aine rushed over, and Rakuna followed in a daze, leaving only Akari, Souse, and Hachiman at the scene.
"Um, do you want to go into the water?"
Su Shi: "I didn't bring a swimsuit."
The lamp: "I can't swim."
Um, then I'll teach Deng how to swim. Su Shi, would you like to rest for a while?
He immediately rejected the idea. No matter how he thought about it, trying to please another girl in front of his girlfriend was always a big taboo, even if that girl was Deng.
Hachiman thought for a moment before saying, "Then let's go back too?"
Su Shi & Deng: "Okay."
After the group photo was taken, the group did not disperse on the spot, but instead gathered together and found a family restaurant to have a meal.
Before serving the dishes, Hachiman coughed lightly to clear his throat and decided to get to the point: "Speaking of which, Ijichi and the others participated in a very important event a few days ago."
The relaxed atmosphere instantly changed upon hearing this.
Shiina Tatsuki rested her chin on one hand, a strange color reflected in her deep pupils: "It was the Chiba music festival, right? I saw it on TV, though only a few shots."
"Hey, it's on TV?"
Under Hachiman's surprised gaze, Shiina Tatsuki showed the photos on her phone.
It contains several shots of the band finishing their performance on stage. Although they only flash by, the expressions of Goto Ichiri and the others are clearly captured.
"Just asking, Shiina-kun, are you perhaps a fan of the End of the Band?"
"No...no, it's just that my sister saw it on a TV show and told me." Shiina Tatsuki said, then turned her head away and looked out the window at the scenery without saying a word.
Ah, what a classic arrogant statement.
After a while, he continued, "By the way, aren't you their Ma Neijia? How come you don't even know about this kind of thing?"
"I did talk to the organizers, and they said there wouldn't be any live footage," Hachiman said innocently.
"That was probably accidentally edited in." Shiina Tatsuki put away her phone and said seriously, "So, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
"Ahem, what I mean is, haven't you guys considered participating in similar programs?"
The group looked at each other in silence. Aine held her face in her hands, looking distressed: "Of course I want to, but there's no way to do it. Hachiman isn't our Maneka."
There was a sour taste in his voice.
"I'm sorry, my personal energy is limited. I'm already struggling to handle everything just from ending the band's business," Hachiman apologized honestly.
Upon hearing this, Aine immediately changed her tune: "Ah, that's not what I meant. It's already enough that Hachiman-kun can help us prepare the merchandise."
"I want to go." Kaoru, biting her straw, stared intently at Hachiman. "Can Hachiman help us register?"
"I'm sorry, that event has already ended."
Rakuna suddenly stood up and cupped Hachiman's face in her hands: "Others are fine too."
"Lanna-chan, want some candy?" Su Shi casually pulled out her prepared "cat-themed treasure."
"Yes." He released Hachiman's face and told Rakuna to open her mouth and wait to be fed.
"Be good."
"Gurgle."
After eating the lemon-flavored candy, the cat returned to its seat contentedly.
Shiina Tatsuki: "Hachigaya, back to our previous topic, can you find any events we can participate in?"
"If we really want to find one, it's not impossible, but..."
Hachiman's sudden pause drew everyone's attention: "Given everyone's current state, it might not be possible for us to pass the auditions as smoothly as the End Band did."
Lies don't hurt, truth is the knife.
The group fell silent instantly.
Realizing his words had an effect, Hachiman said seriously, "If you really want to participate in similar events, you should practice your songs well before you have a chance."
"But given the current situation, it's probably very difficult."
"And if everyone doesn't work harder, the gap between us and the end of the band will only get bigger and bigger."
If Shiina Riki was like a pressure cooker in the past, only making everyone a little irritable, then what Hachiman said this time was almost like a bomb, tearing everyone's fig leaf to shreds.
Coincidentally, the gravity value on almost everyone's head changed, with the most significant increase observed in Shiina Tatsuki's head.
A few words made the band explode.JPG
Of course, Hachiman's goal was not to blow up this newly formed band, but to prepare for what he was going to do next.
In the unbearable silence, the lamp was the first to break the silence.
"Let's practice singing."
Ai-yin responded somewhat awkwardly, "Now?"
"Ah."
"But the food hasn't arrived yet..." Ai Yin glanced at the receipt, a pleading look in her eyes.
"Let's go, Aine, we'll talk about dinner later. Let's go practice at RiNG for a few hours first." Shiina Riki also hurriedly left her seat.
Very good, the effect is outstanding, but it's still a little short.
Therefore, Hachiman added, "I'm sorry to interrupt your enthusiasm at this time, but setting a specific goal is more meaningful than a momentary whim."
Aiyin glanced at the receipt, then at the eager team members: "I... I think so too."
Shiina Tatsuki murmured for a moment, then returned to his seat: "So, what suggestions do you have?"
"It's not really a suggestion, just a suggestion." Hachiman seriously raised one finger: "Everyone, how about we try challenging the Starry Sky Hall?"
Aine & Shiina Tatsuki: "Huh?"
Yoroi: "Oh, Moses Roy."
lamp:"..."
Suze: "Hachiman, is this what you're thinking?"
Taking in everyone's reactions, Hachiman chuckled with amusement, "What, are you scared?"
Aine's concerned voice came through: "Hey, Hachiman, let's stick with Pochi-chan and the others' mannequin, right? There shouldn't be any conflict between you two, right?"
Hachiman shook his head: "No."
"Then why do you want us to challenge them? It doesn't seem like it's a good thing for Pochi and the others to do something like that."
"It seems you have some misunderstanding about the challenge." Hachiman said calmly, "Although it is called a challenge, we are friends after all, and we will not really do anything to end the band. To put it bluntly, it is just to find an opportunity to perform at Starry Night."
"Why not just say it like that?" Shiina Riki clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction.
Doesn't that make the point?
Also, now it's your turn to cooperate with me, Su Shi.
Hachiman gave Suze a wink, who gave a helpless smile, glanced at the reactions around him, and whispered, "I agree."
Yoro Nai chimed in, "Me too, it's really interesting."
Shiina Tatsuki: "Hey, you two, are you bored out of your minds?"
The lamp hesitantly raised its hand: "I agree too."
Shiina Tatsuki: "Since the lamp has said so..."
At the scene, only Ai Yin was still hesitating: "I mean, can we talk about it after we finish eating? I'm really hungry."
The girl touched her deflated belly with a wronged expression.
...
"So, you're planning to have Mygo perform here?"
Ijichi Seika leaned against the wall, a straw dangling from her mouth, speaking casually as if she were smoking.
This guy seems to have started to let loose ever since he came back from Chiba.
"Manager, if you want to smoke, please go outside. This is a smoke-free performance hall."
This is a reversal of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? I don't smoke, only Xiaojing smokes!" Singer Yidi Zhixing hurriedly explained, quickly throwing the straw into the trash can.
"I'm sorry, that would be best if not. Also, I would like to ask the manager if it would be possible to arrange one evening for the two bands to perform together on stage."
"Okay, but the targets and such have to be set in the usual way." Ichiji Hoshika rubbed her forehead, looking exasperated.
"no problem."
Unlike the band Mygo, which lived a life of hardship, Mygo had stable financial backers supporting them.
We can just have Kaguya Shinomiya come over then, and the Starry Night Performance Hall can make a profit as well.
Therefore, the key is the performance itself. Through this stage performance, Hachiman hopes to create a healthy competitive relationship between the two teams.
In other words, this performance is a dark duel, and the loser will become the slave of the winner (lol).
Seeing Hachiman's thoughtful expression, Ijichi Seika suddenly narrowed her eyes: "Hachiman, you're doing such a troublesome thing, are you planning to betray your own side?"
