Most likely, it was Goto's mother who applied light makeup to her.

Based on past experience, the information in the first unlock item is likely to be pornographic material. It doesn't matter if you don't unlock it, but unlocking it will actually damage Ichiri Goto's reputation.

So he skipped the first option and went straight for the second.

Content 2 is now unlocked.

[Bonds: Having experienced loneliness, the girl has tasted the flavor of bonds for the first time in the past few months. In order not to return to those lonely days of the past, the girl is willing to give everything.]

Goto Ichiri, is it really that longing for friends?

Seeing this, Hachiman's gaze softened. Under his gentle gaze, Goto Ichiri lowered his head shyly and asked in a barely audible voice.

"How's it going, Hachiman?"

One cent!

no...

"What happened to your forehead?"

As he said it, Hachiman wanted to slap himself.

Fortunately, Goto Ichiri was not angry. Instead, she mustered her courage and slowly lowered her hand from her forehead.

Then, her fair forehead was revealed.

The bangs, no longer long enough to cover her eyes, were now slightly curled, as if they had been permed with a curling iron.

Beneath her pink hair, a pair of sapphire-like eyes gazed at him with a hint of shyness.

As Yukino Yukinoshita said, the eyes are the windows to the soul.

She didn't open up her heart, but for some reason, what Goto Ichiri was thinking was clearly conveyed through her clear eyes.

Hachiman covered his mouth, desperately suppressing the agitation in his heart.

25-> 28

Why is Hachiman staring blankly? Is it because my outfit doesn't look good?

"Waaah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so arrogant. I'm cutting all my bangs off today!"

Do not!

Absolutely not!

Hachiman thought to himself, then coughed, cleared his throat, and said with a flushed face, "Well, this outfit suits you very well, it's very cute."

"—!"

With slightly cloudy, round eyes, Goto Ichiri stumbled along, babbling incoherently, "Thank you, Hitori-kun, let's hurry to the performance hall."

"Oh, um."

"By the way, did your mother buy you this outfit?"

"Ah."

"What about your hairstyle?"

"The haircut was Yukinoshita-san's suggestion to me."

"is it?"

As Hachiman spoke, he secretly gave a thumbs-up to Yukinoshita and Goto's mother in his heart.

And so, Hachiman, with the transformed Goto Ichiri, arrived at the Starry Night Performance Hall.

It's obvious that Ichiri Goto's new look caused a huge sensation among the band members.

Both Kita and Nijika, who accompanied Goto Ichiri to the beauty salon last night, praised her performance today.

Yamada Ryo was so stunned that the tuft of unknown green leafy plant in his mouth fell to the ground.

"Poch-chan, please marry me!"

"Why!!!"

The naive Goto Ichiri had no ability to read the room and could only helplessly refuse Yamada Ryo, who was kneeling on one knee in front of her.

"Um, um, I'm sorry, Ryo-chan, I like boys..."

"Tch." Yamada Ryo spat out a word of feigned disgust, then casually tossed his hair. "Woman, you'll regret this."

"..."

However, as the price for showing off, Ijichi Hoshika, who happened to be passing by, directly ordered her to wipe that area of ​​ground until it was spotless.

Similarly, the guests today were very enthusiastic, and many people surrounded Goto Ichiri, mistaking her for a female celebrity from somewhere.

When customers learned that Goto Ichiri was just a store employee, they were disappointed. However, soon after, someone took the lead in creating a Goto Ichiri fan club account, expressing their full support for her debut.

Goto Ichiri was overwhelmed with gratitude and a little troubled by the unprecedented welcome she received.

"So many strangers, it's almost suffocating."

Too much of a good thing can be bad. Goto Ichiri, who had only changed his appearance but made almost no progress internally, covered his mouth in discomfort at that moment and ran to the toilet to vomit.

Yamada Ryo suddenly had a bright idea: "Poch-chan, are you pregnant?"

"Ah!"

Nijika slapped Yamada Ryo on the head, and the latter, with tears in his eyes, ran back to the practice room, whining as he ran, "Nijika is so violent!"

Kita gently patted Goto Ichiri's back and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Pochi-chan?"

"Is becoming more extroverted really about being watched by so many people?"

"No, no, no, it's just that Pochi-chan is too popular."

Goto Ichiri glanced weakly at Kita, then slumped her shoulders in dejection.

"Nijika-chan, I think I should change the hairstyle back. I feel like I can't keep this up at all."

"Poch-chan, you have to hang in there," Kita tried to encourage her.

"Boqi-chan, you should just wear normal clothes normally. This outfit is really too cute. Even I, a girl, can't resist it."

Nijika pretended to wipe the drool from the corner of her mouth, as if to illustrate how lethal Goto Ichiri's current appearance was.

"But forget about that fan jacket. You can wear your school uniform or a regular T-shirt."

"Well."

After accepting everyone's advice, Goto Ichiri adjusted her mood and changed her upper body clothes into the band's uniform before she calmed down.

At that moment, Goto Ichiri's phone rang.

Upon opening it, I found a message from Yukino Yukinoshita: "Goto-kun, your look today suits you perfectly. Please keep up the good work. You've completed the first step. The second step..."

As Goto Ichiri read, he broke out in a cold sweat and almost fainted again.

"What's wrong with Pochi-chan?"

"It's over...it's all over. I definitely won't be able to finish the second step."

Her trembling finger pointed at the phone screen, and everyone turned to look at her.

NO.2 - Proactively submit your name for school group activities and gain everyone's approval.

"This might be a bit too difficult," Hongxia said sympathetically, patting Goto Ichiri's head.

"It's not just difficult, it's simply impossible to complete!"

"Drip!"

Another message came through my phone.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Goto-kun, based on your own description, you should have mastered guitar skills, right? Why not participate in a music-related activity? That's just my personal opinion.

Upon seeing this message, Goto Ichiri suddenly realized: "Speaking of which, the cultural festival is coming up soon, isn't it?"

...

I used to think that participating in group activities would be a very simple thing.

At least for socially active people like Nijika Kita, it's hard to imagine what's so difficult about participating in activities.

In reality, Goto Ichiri struggled for two days but couldn't muster the courage to sign up.

"Pochi-chan, don't you want to participate in the school festival? You can perform on stage. This might be the first time our band has performed at school since we ended."

While coaxing Goto Ichiri, Nijika winked at Hachiman.

Wait a minute, shall I go fight Goto Ichiri?

Seeing Nijika's eager anticipation, Hachiman thought for a moment and asked, "If you put your bangs back, would Goto-kun be willing to participate in the school festival?"

"Hachiman, isn't this all pointless?"

Hongxia complained, but the next second, Goto Ichiri nodded at lightning speed: "Yeah, in that case, I can give it a try."

"Hey???"

Hongxia was somewhat incredulous, her mouth agape: "Boqi-chan, are you not satisfied with how you look now? To be honest, Boqi-chan is super pretty now."

A little embarrassed by Nijika's sincere flattery, Goto Ichiri still insisted, "Ah, it's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable."

Having been used to being ignored for years, Goto Ichiri experienced a kind of culture shock when suddenly she received the attention of countless people in a single day.

Simply put, she is more shy than before, and also wants to avoid other people's gaze.

The confidence I had painstakingly built up was shattered the very next day.

This same phenomenon was also observed in Yukino Yukinoshita, whose response was to continue maintaining the status quo.

Goto Ichiri stroked the strands of hair on her chest. Today she had changed back to her usual hairstyle, and her well-maintained long hair covered her chest, shimmering under the lights.

"I used to always fantasize about receiving attention from others, but these past few days, being the center of attention hasn't made me as happy as I thought..."

These words were a wake-up call for Hongxia.

Boqi really doesn't like being the center of attention.

"I'll find a way to explain things to Yukinoshita. The personality correction will continue, right, Goto-kun?"

Hachiman came up with a compromise.

"Ok."

Having determined the direction for the future, Hachiman immediately took out his phone to contact Yukino Yukinoshita, and soon received a reply from her.

Yukino Yukinoshita: Received

Yukino Yukinoshita: Since Goto-kun is indeed feeling a bit unwell, we can make some adjustments to his clothing and hairstyle. However, please continue to supervise his posture. That's all.

The replies were as professional as ever, concise and to the point, without any unnecessary words.

Hachiman is quite happy to communicate with people like Yukino Yukinoshita, and he is very efficient at it.

He relayed Yukino Yukinoshita's opinion to Ichiri Goto, who breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Yukinoshita said that she hopes you will keep your back straight and not walk while looking at the ground," Hachiman reminded him.

"Oh," Goto Ichiri replied weakly.

In the past few days, in addition to styling, Yukino Yukinoshita has also been meticulously correcting Ichiri Goto's various postures, which has made Ichiri Goto feel awkward every time he sits, giving off a comical feeling that he hasn't yet mastered his limbs.

of course.

This correction was necessary, and it's clear to the naked eye that Goto Ichiri's energy and spirit have improved considerably during this period.
