Anime: Desolate Darkness

When it was time for the performance, the four members of the Bond Band went on stage as scheduled. Despite being stopped by Ijichi Kouka, Goto Ichiri did not wear anything strange when he went on stage. His upper body was in the band uniform and his lower body was in the school uniform skirt. It was a rare sight that he did not have a pair of pink sweatpants underneath.

Feeling the strong gazes of the people below, Goto Ichiri wanted to leave immediately.

She thought she was the only one who was nervous, until she started playing, only to find that the drummer Hongxia in the back could not keep up with the rhythm at all, the lead singer and guitarist Kita made a rare mistake, and the bassist Yamada Ryo did not cooperate at all, just playing on his own, and his current playing level was far inferior to his usual training.

If Nijixia and Yamada Ryo were out of form because they had just overheard others say that they were not interested in their team, Kita was more likely to be uneasy because of the arrival of Kimura Takumi. She was not mentally prepared in advance and was worried about making a fool of herself in front of him, so she was unusually restrained.

Their poor performance could hardly attract the attention of the audience. Everyone lost interest in watching the show and started whispering about other things or fiddling with their phones.

Even Ijichi Hoshika, Ijichi Hongxia's elder sister and store manager, couldn't help but show disappointment and shook her head helplessly when faced with such a terrible performance of her sister and her teammates.

It was in such a disastrous atmosphere that they finally completed singing their first song.

However, to everyone's surprise, even though the performance was so bad, there were still people applauding and cheering!

All the guests were shocked and looked in the direction of the voice in surprise, only to find that the person was actually Kimura Takumi.

Seeing her boyfriend clapping, Mai Sakurajima didn't know what to say, so she could only follow the rhythm and clap her hands, while whispering, "You really dote on your students. They even have the nerve to clap after such a great performance."

Kimura Takumi still had a faint smile on her face. "It's already amazing to be able to stand on the stage. As a teacher, of course I have to encourage you."

Not only Sakurajima Mai, but Futaba Rio also followed suit and applauded.

The actions of these three people undoubtedly gave the four little ones on the stage great confidence. Seeing that his friends and teacher were supporting him so much, Goto Ichiri started an impromptu performance without permission in order to allow the other three members of the band to recover.

I finally got to stand on the stage! I don't want it to end like this!

The passionate and melodious guitar sound resounded throughout the exhibition hall like thunder, as if it was going to break through the roof.

She showed her true level without reservation - that is the real ability that a "guitar hero" with tens of thousands of fans should possess!

Not only were the audience in the audience stunned, but even her teammates who were performing on stage with her were deeply shocked.

Fortunately, during a short break in the performance, the other three people came back to their senses as if awakened from a dream, and quickly integrated into the subsequent performance, starting to perform the band's second song.

At this time, Yili had already been immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself. He completely entered a state of selflessness, and displayed his powerful strength beyond everyone's imagination.

She actually increased the speed of her performance to an astonishing level!

Faced with such amazing changes, the other three members dared not slack off at all. They could only concentrate and go all out, using all their skills to keep up with the ridiculously fast pace.

It was not until the second song was almost over that Goto Ichiri suddenly woke up.

At this time, she noticed that in addition to Kimura Takumi and the other three, the rest of the audience also responded with warm applause and cheers to their wonderful performance.

very scary! ! !

She immediately turned her back to the audience.

Although it was a great pleasure that the performance won applause, that could not change the fact that she suffered from severe social anxiety!

……

After completing the team performance, the four little ones walked backstage happily.

Ijichi Kouka and Kita Ikuyo couldn't contain their excitement and rushed towards Goto Ichiri and hugged each other tightly.

"Siguoyi!! Yili's performance is simply amazing!" Yijichi Hongxia shouted excitedly, with admiration shining in her eyes.

"Yes, yes! This performance was really perfect, it can be said to be the most wonderful one ever!" Kita Ikuyo also praised generously, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Faced with such exaggerated praise, Goto Ichiri was somewhat flattered, but more of a secret delight. She rubbed the back of her head sheepishly and let out a triumphant, slightly weird laugh.

At this time, the door that had just been closed was opened again. Kimura Takumi took the lead, followed by Sakurajima Mai and Futaba Rio. "Let me explain first, I came in with the permission of the store manager." He explained as he stepped in.

“Teacher Kimura!” Seeing the person coming, Kita Ikuyo let go of Goto Ichiri, quickly ran up to him, and asked expectantly, “How was it? Our performance was amazing, wasn’t it?”

"Yeah, everyone performed very well, especially Goto-san. I think he can definitely debut." Kimura Takumi said, looking at Sakurajima Mai beside him and asked, "Right?"

Mai Sakurajima thought about it and answered honestly, "I don't know much about rock music, but it's really amazing."

Although she received praise, she was not the one singled out for praise, which made Kita Ikuyo feel a little disappointed.

However, the atmosphere at this moment was so warm and cheerful that the slight feeling of loss was quickly drowned out by other joy.

She excitedly held onto Kimura Takumi's hand tightly and couldn't wait to introduce her to Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Kouka.

After some greetings, many people's eyes involuntarily focused on Sakurajima Mai.

Kita Ikuyo did not hide her curiosity and asked directly: "Teacher Kimura, this is your friend, right? Why do you always wear a mask and sunglasses?"

Kimura Takumi smiled and replied calmly, "Her identity is rather special, so it's not convenient for her to show up, but I can tell you for sure that she is my girlfriend."

"Teacher's girlfriend!? When did this happen? Why have I never heard the teacher mention this before!!!" Kita Ikuyo's face was full of astonishment, her mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost fit in.

It was the first time for the other friends to see her lose her composure like this, and they all looked at her in surprise.
