Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 33 concludes the band's first meeting.

"Qiang Qiang!"

"boom!"

Accompanied by a dull thud.

Fireworks drifted slowly down from the sky.

It was Hongxia who fired the pre-prepared salute.

"Wow!!"

Bai Qiu, Yi Li, and Liang exclaimed in surprise, then clapped their hands.

"I need to help with the cleaning later."

Hongxia pointed to the floor.

The three of them shook their heads frantically and even took a step back.

"Do you guys have to be so synchronized?!"

Hongxia said irritably.

Bai Qiu raised her hand: "I'll help with the cleaning."

Hongxia smiled: "Qiu-jun is still the most reliable."

"Alright, now it's time for our band's first group meeting!"

…………

Put down the instrument.

The four people sat around a table.

Snacks and drinks were laid out on the table.

Ryo Yamada has already mastered it.

“Too close!”

Ijichi Seika leaned against the doorway, biting hard on the straw from the beverage cabinet.

Miss PA looked inside and saw that Bai Qiu was sitting next to Hong Xia.

"Oh, if you care so much, why don't you come in and join us!"

She covered her mouth and laughed.

"Huh? I'm not interested!"

"Giggle...!"

……

"Ahem! Our first topic is to choose a team leader."

Hongxia gestured with her fingers, then looked at the other three.

And Bai Qiu, Yi Li, Liang

The three of them stared at Hongxia.

"..."

"Eh……?"

"What does it mean?"

"Am I to be the team leader?"

Hongxia pointed to herself in confusion.

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Qiu and the other two nodded in unison.

Yamada Ryo said, "It's up to you, Nijika."

Bai Qiu: "I think so too."

Goto Ichiri chimed in, "Me too!"

"Huh? Shall we discuss this some more?"

Hong Xia asked.

Bai Qiu and the other two shook their heads again.

Hongxia was stunned.

then……

Hongxia looked at Liang and thought, "That's unreliable!"

One mile, emmmm... seems like that won't work either.

Finally, he looked at Bai Qiu.

"What about Qiu Jun? Doesn't Qiu Jun want to be the captain?"

Bai Qiu smiled and said,

"I'm not very good at it,"

"In my heart, Hongxia, you are the most suitable one."

The responsibility of a band leader is very important.

It's not just about organizing and managing the band.

We also need to pay attention to the condition of each band member regularly.

And Hongxia is so gentle, kind, thoughtful, considerate, and adorable...

He is absolutely the best candidate for this position.

The others, more or less, all have some unreliable aspects.

Although Bai Qiu felt that there was nothing unreliable about her at the moment.

But as expected, the captain should still be Hongxia.

"I believe in you, Hongxia."

Bai Qiu encouraged.

"We believe in you too."

Ryo Yamada and Ichiri Goto repeated.

"That's it..."

Hongxia blushed, a rare occurrence for her.

"Then... then leave it to me!"

Hongxia patted her chest.

"Although this is my first time being the team leader."

"But I will do my best."

"If there's anything I could do better, please let me know!"

Bai Qiu, Yamada Ryo, and Goto Ichiri clapped.

……

"Tsk!"

An untimely sound seemed to have been heard.

Ijichi Seika let go of the straw, which was now covered in teeth marks.

"You really know how to make girls happy!"

However, regarding Hongxia becoming the captain.

Ijichi Hoshika was quite satisfied; she was the captain back then too.

Ms. PA: "Hehehehehe..."

…………

"Next, the second topic..."

"Uh-huh!"

Bai Qiu and the other two looked at Hong Xia expectantly.

"We need to come up with a band name."

Hongxia said happily.

The band's name is its most prestigious feature.

She made thorough preparations in this regard last night.

I consulted a lot of materials.

For example, you should avoid the naming pattern of combining a place name with a person's name.

But let’s be honest.

No one would have such strange tastes in naming things.

Hongxia looked at everyone expectantly.

Generally speaking, people will have many different ideas at this stage.

Yamada Ryo put down the food and spoke first.

"End the band."

Hongxia: "A bond?"

Yili: "A bundle of wires?"

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

Bai Qiu explained, "It means unity."

"Pfft!"

Yamada Ryo spat it out.

"oops!"

"Why are you getting chilled?"

"It's all sprayed onto Yili's face."

Ichi Nijika quickly took out a tissue to wipe Goto Ichiri's face.

They've already taken care of it.

"Sorry, Pochi-chan."

"I did not do it on purpose."

"It's just too funny."

Yamada Ryo said without any apology.

Then he looked at Bai Qiu with admiration.

Back to the band's name.

"Unity?"

Hongxia was taken aback, then she understood.

Liang is up to his old tricks again.

"Don't use puns like that!"

"Right? Aki-kun, Ichiri-chan."

"I quite like it."

Bai Qiu told the truth.

Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs-up in satisfaction.

"Ah, yes!"

Although Goto Ichiri found it strange, she was happy to have a band.

How could I dare to ask for a name!

"Huh? You guys..."

Hongxia looked at the three of them with surprise and uncertainty.

The strange thing is that she can't?

"Next topic."

Yamada Ryo said calmly, seemingly eager to settle on a name as soon as possible.

The three of them looked at Hongxia.

"Let's discuss this again, please, please."

Hongxia pleaded.

"..."

There was silence.

Bai Qiu had no choice but to say,

"It seems... I can't think of anything else..."

"seems like it……"

Hongxia couldn't think of a good name either.

The tuft of hair on his head also drooped down.

Are you really going to call it "End Band"?

This is far too hasty.

Hongxia originally planned to discuss the band name for a long time!

I clearly saw in the posts that other bands were also arguing about this topic.

They actually made a decision so quickly.

And... why does everyone assume that this name is the same?

Aren't I the captain?!

Why did it seem like I was sidelined as soon as I became the team leader?

Wait a minute, did the three of them plan this beforehand?

The captain made a quick decision.

The band name came up so quickly.

Hongxia couldn't help but have doubts.

Then, Hongxia shook her head, clearing away the strange thoughts.

"Then let's call it the End Band for now."

"It's tentative!"

Hongxia made up her mind to wait until the lead singer was found.

This name must be overturned.

"Pfft!"

Everyone looked toward the source of the laughter.

It was Ichiji Hoshika, who was covering her mouth to suppress a laugh.

End of the band?

What a joke.

It seems best to end this sooner rather than later.

She wanted to get rid of this man from Hongxia's side.

Seeing them looking over, Ichiji Hoshika quickly suppressed her smile.

"Hmph, I wasn't looking at you."

Ichiko crossed her arms and said arrogantly.

Hongxia explained, "That's how my sister is."

……

"The third topic is that we are still missing a lead singer."

Hongxia said seriously.

If no one sings, the band won't be formed.

We can't just play the same thing every time as last time.

Hongxia shyly took out a photo.

"Actually, if possible, I would still like to bring back the original lead singer."

"Pfft!" x2

Bai Qiu and Yamada Ryo couldn't help laughing.

Because what Nijika brought out was the portrait of Kita that Yamada Ryo had made last time.

"There really aren't any other photos!"

Hongxia explained helplessly.

"Stop laughing..."

Waaah, Nijika felt so sorry for Kita.

"This photo..."

I didn't pay attention last time.

But this time, the photos were placed in front of me.

Although it's a black and white photo.

But Goto Ichiri realized that the person in front of him was none other than the very conspicuous girl with red hair from school.

She's such a popular person!

A super popular character at school.

Goto Ichiri often saw that the other person would walk together in groups with many girls from different classes.

It was Goto Ichiri, a role I never dared to dream of becoming.

I never expected that she would even be ahead of me in something as simple as forming a band.

Ugh, I'm so unwilling to accept this...

"What's wrong? Do you know Ichiri?"

"Ah, yes, it's from our school."

"Oh!"

A light ignited in Hongxia's eyes.

"Could you please contact Kita, Ichiri?"

"I can't get in touch with them at all."

"I'm worried that something might have happened to her."

"No, there's no surprise."

Upon thinking of the black and white photo, Hongxia quickly changed her mind and covered her mouth.

"This...this..."

Goto Ichiri was too trembling to speak.

If you let her get close to that kind of character, she'll be burned to ashes in an instant.

Ah, just thinking about it makes her melt.

"Ah! Yili, don't push yourself!"

Hongxia was startled, then looked to Baiqiu for help.

They're all from the same school.

If Yili doesn't work, we'll have to trouble Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu patted his chest and assured him,

"No problem, leave it to me and Pochi."

Goto Ichiri cast a grateful glance at her.

Hongxia smiled happily. Sure enough, Qiu Jun is the most reliable member of this band!

"By the way, before we find a lead singer, is there anyone who can temporarily fill in?"

Goto Ichiri shook his head.

"If I were the lead singer, the band would become a one-man show for me."

"Did you pick up your bass?"

Yamada Ryo: “…”

Hongxia looked at Bai Qiu, who seemed the most reliable.

Bai Qiu: "We're a girls' band, so of course girls should sing."

"It's not a girl group!"

It’s all my sister’s fault.

Hongxia looked towards the door, but Ijichi Seika was no longer there.

It seems that we should focus on playing instruments for now, until we find a lead singer.
