however.
Besides this group, there is another significant group within the fan community.
These fans will buy anything related to the band without hesitation, including CDs, autographs, merchandise, etc., and they will even show up in special support outfits when the band performs live.
This type of fan is what is known as a crystallized fan.
Those present were amazed by the incredible loyalty of the band's fans.
Isn't this the end of the band's first performance?
The crystallization speed is too fast!
As the audience was amazed by the band's rapid fan acquisition, one song after another was played on stage. Once the performance got on track, the band's performance became increasingly impressive, fully engaging the emotions of the audience.
After four songs, the band's performance successfully concluded.
In the intermission between the next band's performances, the weather forecast miraculously reported that the typhoon had moved away from Tokyo.
"Our performance is so powerful, even a typhoon could blow it away!"
Kita waved his phone with a beaming smile, sharing his joyful mood with the audience below the stage. Liu then returned to the dressing room.
"I'm exhausted!" Hongxia plopped down on the sofa, letting out a sigh that was hard to tell whether it was from fatigue or regret.
"That's great, Nijika-senpai, Ryo-senpai and Pochi-chan. I thought this performance was doomed."
After stepping off the stage, a heavy sense of fatigue washed over him, and Kita's bright eyes became misty, as if he was about to cry.
Seeing this, Hongxia seemed to forget her own fatigue and quickly went over to comfort her.
"It's okay, Kita-chan did a great job today."
"No, if it weren't for my mistake, everyone would have performed even better."
Kita wiped away tears mixed with a mixture of guilt and joy with the back of his hand.
"Well, my performance was as consistent as ever." Yamada Ryo puffed out his chest proudly.
"Speaking of which, why are those strangers wearing our team uniforms?" Goto Ichiri put down his guitar and sat down to ponder.
Perhaps because it was rare to see Goto Ichiri deep in thought, it surprised the others.
"So, even Pochi-chan has moments of reflection..."
"Waaaah, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been thinking about it."
Goto Ichiri suddenly burst into tears.
"No, that's not what I meant!"
Hongxia hurriedly explained for a long time before she was able to calm Goto Ichiri down.
However, the question of why those young people were wearing the band's uniform remains unanswered.
...
After the performance, the runners wrapped their wet clothes in plastic bags and repeatedly asked the band about their social media channels and showtimes before leaving.
After receiving confirmation that they would be performing regularly at Starlight, the group left satisfied.
Meanwhile, Yukino Yukinoshita retrieved the dried clothes from Nijika's place, spoke to her with a cold expression, and then set off back to Tokyo.
"Oh dear, Yukinoshita-san has gone back like this. I was hoping to talk to her at the victory celebration."
Goto Ichiri, who stayed in the dressing room until the end of the performance, couldn't help but show a sad and regretful expression after learning that Yukino Yukinoshita had already gone home.
"Don't you guys usually chat on your phones?" Hachiman asked.
"But the feeling is different."
After a long absence, Goto Ichiri poured out her true feelings, showing that she truly valued Yukino Yukinoshita.
"Should I call her and ask her to come back?"
"Hachiman, you're so mean..."
"what?"
Hachiman paused for a moment, then reconsidered his earlier statement.
What was wrong with what he said?
[Just look at what they really think and you'll know.]
Never mind, you can never truly understand a girl's heart.
Hachiman didn't hesitate.
and.
Given Yukino Yukinoshita's personality, she might agree to attend the victory celebration.
In short, has everything come to a satisfactory conclusion?
"Bi-Qi-Gu!"
Ijichi Seika stormed over, pointing to the puddle at the entrance of the performance hall, which was now gleaming under the bright lights.
"I almost fell for your self-inflicted injury trick! Look at this! Are you trying to piss me off?!"
Hachiman licked his lips, his throat burning dry. "Ah, manager, this is a necessary loss to achieve our goal..."
"Hey kid, don't try to shift your problems onto others."
Ijichi Seika clenched her fist, the pain in her abdomen resurfacing in her mind, and Hachiman instinctively covered her abdomen with her hand.
"Xiao Jing was right, you only respond to force, not gentleness. You'll learn your lesson today..."
What kind of strange knowledge did that hot-blooded, idiotic female teacher instill in Manager Ijichi?
"elder sister!"
Hongxia rushed over immediately, and with her combination of gentle persuasion and firm arguments, Ijichi Hoshika finally calmed down.
"Big sister, may we say a few words to Hachiman-kun?"
"go Go."
Ijichi Hoshika shook her hand and went into the practice room by herself, not knowing what she was doing.
The four band members stood in a neat row after the band finished, and then bowed solemnly.
"Um, Hachiman, thank you so much for this."
What are you doing?
The serious demeanor of the group made Hachiman very uncomfortable.
"Yukinoshita-san already told us that the last few audience members who came in were recruited by Hachiman, right?" Nijika asked seriously.
Hachiman secretly clicked his tongue: "That woman, why does she talk so much?"
He then took a deep breath and calmly said, "Well, I'm just thinking about the business of the store. If no one comes every time it rains, I won't be able to continue doing this job."
"Well, Hachiman, you need to be a little more frank sometimes, otherwise it'll be hard for us to handle."
Hachiman's awkward reaction was clearly within Nijika's expectations.
"None of your business." Hachiman looked away.
"Pfft, Hachiman, to thank you for your help, we've decided to give you a gift."
"Gift?"
Hachiman thought of the medal the band gave him at the end of last time; one of those was enough...
Just as he was about to refuse, he heard Hongxia cough and say in a very playful tone, "We've decided that everyone will give Hachiman a kiss."
"Hey!" Seemingly taken aback by what they heard, Goto Ichiri and Kita both froze on the spot.
Similarly, Hachiman's eyes widened.
[The Starlight Performance Hall's large-scale sex scene is currently being streamed!]
Like a mischievous little devil who had just pulled off a prank, Nijika happily savored everyone's panicked expressions, then suddenly changed her mind, saying, "Sorry, I made a mistake. It was a signed photo of our band for Hachiman-kun."
"Oh, that's good." Hachiman breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a sense of emptiness in his heart.
Damn it, I missed four kisses in one go, I'm devastated.
What the hell are you talking about?
After that, Hongxia didn't take out the so-called autographed photo, but instead took out an instant camera from the warehouse.
"Ta-da! Hachiman, let's take a picture together!"
"This has gone beyond the category of a gift, hasn't it?"
Hachiman, who doesn't particularly like being in front of the camera, was somewhat resistant.
But despite the four beautiful girls' firm stance, he eventually stood in front of the camera.
"eggplant!"
On the tripod, the Polaroid camera captured the second group photo of the five people, and Hongxia immediately grabbed a pen to take notes.
The photo was passed around among the four people, and eventually four more names appeared.
Finally, the photo was handed over to Yamana by Goto Ichiri.
"Hachiman, I hope you won't find this offensive."
"I'm so happy to receive this gift."
Although he was a little reluctant at first, after getting the group photo, Hachiman suddenly felt a little touched for some reason.
"If it weren't for Hikigaya-kun saving the day, our performance would definitely have failed," Goto Ichiri said in a low voice, head bowed.
"..."
Hachiman had no answer.
If he doesn't step in, the only remaining option is for Goto Ichiri to unleash his true "guitar hero" abilities.
But the question is, could Ichiri Goto have done it in that kind of environment?
Even if she succeeds, will it arouse suspicion from her teammates? For Goto Ichiri, who wants to hide her identity, is this the best outcome?
To be honest, Hachiman's idea this time wasn't perfect either.
If those young people don't like live performances, or even do something crazy during the band's shows, it could be a more serious blow to ending the band.
To avoid all wrong options, you can only use the ability to see through illusions.
Considering the request for "personality correction" and the instability of the illusory nature of life, Hachiman decided to take a gamble.
Fortunately, he made the right bet.
Therefore, this result can only be attributed to a certain degree of luck.

"Well, don't worry about it too much. The success of the performance is entirely due to your own good performance, it has nothing to do with me."
"Here we go again. Sometimes Hachiman is just as difficult as Pochi-chan."
Hongxia joked from the side, but her tone was full of respect for Hachiman.
"Yes, yes, I feel like Hikigaya is probably even more stubborn than Pochi-chan." Kita smiled and agreed.
Yamada Ryo said dismissively, "Whatever, let's hurry up and clean up. We can only go to the celebration party after Hachiman finishes."
"Liang, come and help too!"
Hongxia complained softly, picked up the mop, and gestured for Yamada Ryo to help clean. The latter whistled and ran to a corner as if he hadn't seen her.
"Senior Hongxia, let me help."
"Kita-chan is so thoughtful, we don't need that crumbly sauce."
Two beautiful girls pressed against each other, releasing a lethal dose of yuri (lesbian) scent.
Ignored, Goto Ichiri looked around, and finally sheepishly decided to go to the warehouse to see if anything hadn't been packed away.
Because the lights were off, the warehouse was pitch black and nothing could be seen. After groping around for a while, Goto Ichiri finally pressed the light switch on the wall.
With a "click," the lights came on, illuminating the entire warehouse.
