Tokyo Girlfriend Illustrated Book

Although it was still early and not the best time for places like karaoke, due to the Golden Week, there were not many private rooms left when Hojo Kyosuke and his friends went to a store they usually go to.

Neon Karaoke is not as convenient as Internet cafes, but it is not bad. Many stores even use "the food is delicious" to attract customers. For example, the signature of the Jiyin Music Hall where Hojo Kyosuke is now visiting is the oversized chicken burger. It's cheap and therefore popular with his idiot subordinates.

The store is a normal store. You can’t find any special services if you want. Because there are so many people, we choose to pay for unlimited singing. If you come alone, you can choose to pay per head. It is very suitable for singing alone and crying after a breakup. Sing while eating.

Although it is noon time, because it is a holiday, the charge is higher than before. The private room was not big, because Hojo Kyosuke did not intend to sing with other subordinates, so it was just him and five beautiful girls.

"This is great~"

Leaning on the leather backrest, Yamauchi Sakura sighed.

Hojo Kyosuke nodded: "Yes, it's completely concert-level."

Standing in front of the two of them were all the members of the "Icy Tail" band who had entered combat mode.

The two microphones are in the hands of Hyado Michiru and Himekawa Tokino respectively. Before Michiru joined the band, Curly Curly was the guitarist and lead singer of the band.

"What I present next are my must-have karaoke songs, enjoy them~"

Hyodo Michiru playfully shouted into the microphone, her brows and eyes full of sassiness.

"Hoho~~"

Sakura-sama was very proud and clapped her handbell and cheered. With this guy here, no matter what you do, you will never be bored.

The sound of accompaniment soon sounded from the stereo, and what horrified Hojo Kyousuke was that these people were all terrorists who did not play original songs but only accompaniments. What's even more shocking is that after the perfect performance by Himido Michiru and others, Sakurara, who took the microphone, also sang extremely well, and he felt no better than those professionals.

Looking at Yamauchi Sakura who was swaying her body and singing very intoxicatingly, Himekawa Tokino was a little dumbfounded and said: "It turns out that Sakura really can't sing."

"There is nothing the same as the original song." Moriqiu Aiko was shocked.

Hyōdo Michiru laughed heartily and said excitedly: "In a sense, it's amazing. Isn't this considered original?"

"..."

Listening to the discussion of several people, Hojo Kyosuke's smile gradually became warmer. Sure enough, this was his girl.

After Yamauchi Sakura got rid of her emotions from the song, Hyido Michiru and others who were eating French fries and other snacks clapped quickly.

"It sounds so good!"

"Saigao!"

"One more song!"

Lord Sakura held up her skirt and bowed in vain, looking proud and looking forward to her appearance.

"My performance is over for the time being. Next, I will sing for you, the savior of Sobu High School's baseball club, the oblivious swordsman who controls memory and the magic eye, the devil without hands... the emperor who reigns at the top of neon swordsmanship, the Heisei era The greatest writer, Hojo Kyosuke!”

The girl shouted passionately and waved her arm towards Hojo Kyosuke.

"Phew! Where's the applause!"

Hyodo Michiru and others, who were shocked by the title that lasted for two minutes, came to their senses and clapped vigorously.

If it were those idiots like Aisaka Tsuyoshi or Zaimokuza who pronounced their nicknames like this, Hojo Kyosuke would definitely kick them out, but if the person who chanted them was Yamauchi Sakura. He just smiled fondly and reached out to take the phone.

"Do you remember it so clearly?" he said amusedly.

Sakura grinned. Are you kidding? She got many of them!

Hojo Kyousuke came to the karaoke machine and began to struggle painfully. Behind him, Hyido Michiru and others couldn't wait to ask Sakura about the meaning of those nicknames. No matter how much news there is about Hojo Kyosuke in newspapers, there are still many secrets that are unknown to the public. Not everyone is called the "Encyclopedia of Hojo Kyosuke".

After looking at it again and again, Hojo Kyousuke even thought about the song that Itomori had performed for Mitsuha's music test before, but as soon as his mind changed, he had a new idea.

Let’s play a German song!

After listening to the original singer, no one can understand whether he sings well or not. He is simply a genius!

As for when he learned German, Hojo Kyousuke could only say that learning the language in front of someone with extraordinary memory is as easy as drinking water.

This karaoke bar had a good music library, and he quickly found a German song he had heard.

The accompaniment started playing slowly, and the girls such as Hyōdo Michiru, Himekawa Tokino and other girls immediately stared at Hojo Kyosuke expectantly.

After watching "Guren no Yuya", they no longer have any doubts about Teacher Hojo's musical accomplishment, and now they are even looking forward to Teacher Hojo's performance with a learning attitude.

A low tone came from Hojo Kyosuke's mouth, and Hyōdo Michiru, who was fully focused, immediately widened his eyes in surprise.

This, this... what is this?

Although I couldn’t understand the language, Mr. Hojo’s voice and the accompaniment didn’t match at all!

They say music has no borders, that's why, even if you don't understand the lyrics, the tunes are the same.

Hyōdo Michiru was confused, and turned to look at her companions, only to see that they also looked shocked and confused.

Look at Yamauchi Sakura next to him again.

"Oh!! That's great! Kyousuke is the best in the world in singing!"

The girl shouted, raising her hands and swaying them like reeds.

Hojo Kyousuke in front also turned ninety degrees on the spot, flicked his arm and pointed at Yamauchi Sakura, giving him a cool look. The latter immediately closed his hands and held them in front of his chest, looking dazed.

"..."

Looking at the two people having fun, Hyōdo Michiru understood that he, Xiaolan and the others should not be in this box at all.

However, Sakura would not make her new friend feel uncomfortable. She immediately grabbed Michiru Hyōdo and Tokino Himekawa with one hand and led the two of them to stand up, shaking their bodies to accompany Kyosuke in the dance.

They are all young and lively girls. The four girls immediately blended into the atmosphere and began to cheer for Hojo Kyousuke who was chanting a spell in front of him.

The singer was obviously not as good as a kindergartener, but the cheers of the five beautiful girls in the audience were louder and louder, and the expressions on their faces were more and more excited. A feeling of swaying arose in Michiru Hyido, and she immediately understood Yamauchi Sakura's happiness.

"Ah~ Mr. Hojo is so great!" She made a trumpet shape with her hands in front of her mouth and cheered loudly.

Finally, Hojo Kyosuke put down the microphone and bowed to the five audience members. But what surprised him was that Sakura and Michiru did not cooperate in shouting an encore, but stared at the screen behind them in shock.

He smiled and asked: "What are you looking at..."

Before he finished speaking, his hand was already pressing the karaoke button repeatedly.

Everything on the screen disappeared, and Hyōdo Michiru turned her attention from the screen to Hojo Kyosuke, her expression even more shocked.

"1 point?"

The girl murmured in disbelief.

"Am I right? Is there really such a low score?"

The curly-haired Himekawa Tokino could no longer hold back any longer, her expression was completely ruined, and her eyes were wide open.

"...Although it is incredible, the score just showed that it is indeed one point." Moriqiu Aiko said rationally.

Hojo Kyosuke turned his head stiffly and said calmly:

"There's no way there's a score like 1. There's something wrong with the machine."

Since what he is best at is serious nonsense, these sincere words immediately deceived the simple Hyōdo Michiru.

"Haha, let me tell you, how can someone sing 1 point? This is too exaggerated. Even if you borrow a cat from the cat cafe next door, it will still cost a few points."

The girl laughed heartily.

"Yes." Hojo Kyousuke smiled kindly.

Himekawa Tokino, Moriqiu Aiko and others next to them also laughed, thinking this was really funny. Just when Hyōdo Michiru regretted not being able to take a photo, Yamauchi Sakura next to him suddenly burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha, as expected of my Kyousuke, he can actually sing well!!"

The girl's eyes widened, she stepped around the bar, held Hojo Kyousuke's head in her arms and shook her wildly.

"That's awesome!"

She continued to laugh, and took out her mobile phone to show it to Michiru Hyido and others next to her. On it was the score sheet of Hojo Kyosuke's song just now.

Intervals, stability, cadence...all the data are clearly written on it. Compared with other people's rating charts, Hojo Kyosuke's one is too simple, because there are no numbers before the decimal point, and the five items added up are barely enough for one point.

Full score 100.

"No, I'm going to find the store manager and ask him to give prizes to Kyosuke!"

Sakura released her head from her arms and looked excited.

"Huh? But aren't there prizes for breaking records?"

Hyōdo Michiru was puzzled. The karaoke bar they came to was a large chain store. In order to attract customers, there would be prizes for breaking record scores, and karaoke competitions would be held regularly.

"nonono~"

Lord Sakura shook his head and said seriously:

"It's easy to sing a song, but not everyone can do it like my Kyousuke who sings so seriously but gets such a low score. I believe no one can surpass him in the future!"

"That's right, I would never be able to do it." Hyōdo Michiru nodded in agreement.

"Ahem, I think it's better to forget it. It's embarrassing."

Hojo Kyosuke whispered, but obviously Sakura-sama would not give up any opportunity to show off his boy to others, so he immediately ran out and called the store manager.

Looking at the one point in the record, the store manager was also shocked.

In the end, Sakura-sama got a small gift as he wished, which was a microphone doll, because the store manager recognized Hojo Kyosuke, not as a famous writer, but as the boss of the group of regular customers in the store. Well, Hojo Kyousuke would occasionally come to pay the bill for Hata Goro and others who forgot to bring money. Sometimes those guys used karaoke as a restaurant.

After the interlude, Hyōdo Michiru and others curiously sat down next to Hojo Kyousuke, curiously asking why he could compose such excellent songs even though he sang so poorly.

Do you have to know how to raise cattle if you like eating steak?

Hojo Kyousuke complained in his heart, and pretended to be a jerk and told Michiru that it was because he was too good, so he deliberately left such a flaw for himself so that he could still improve.

This is completely nonsense and was actually recognized by Himekawa Tokino, because when Hojo Kyosuke was speaking, he easily commented on Moriqiu Aiko who was singing, pointing out where her voice was high-pitched and where she made ventilation mistakes. come out.

Finally, when Hyōdo Michiru's belly bulged from eating, everyone happily decided to leave.

"Xiaoying, why don't you eat? Don't you like it? I think the fried chicken wings just now tasted good."

When she reached the door, Michiru asked in confusion.

Yingliang smiled, gently touched her stomach, and explained: "Because Kyousuke is cooking tonight, I have to save my stomach for a big meal."

"..."

I'm so mean!

Before leaving, Michiru Hyodo ate a mouthful of dog food, and her mouth twitched. They agreed to contact each other by phone, and they separated directly at the door of the store. After eating and drinking, the band members seemed to plan to go back to school to continue rocking, while Hojo Kyousuke took Yingliang to the subway station.

The driver was sent to Shuimen City to pick up Takimoto Kyoko. Although there were other cars, Hojo Kyousuke wanted to be alone with Yingliang now.

Ikebukuro is no less crowded on holidays than Shibuya on weekdays. Young people in fashionable clothes come and go, and people are taking pictures everywhere. Hojo Kyosuke had put on a baseball cap before to cover his handsome face a little, otherwise he would be surrounded again if he was recognized here.

"It's just like what Miss Natori said, everywhere is like a holiday."

Sakura sighed, thinking that Mitsuha's friend was a wise man.

"... But now it's a holiday."

Hojo Kyosuke finally said what he had been holding back for a day.

Yamauchi Sakura was stunned, and then laughed. She felt that Natori Sayaka was smarter.

The two walked slowly, and they would go in and look around when they saw a store they were interested in. Sakura also learned from others to stand under some signs and let Hojo Kyosuke take pictures for her, but compared to those buildings, the background she was interested in was probably the surging crowd.

But less than two minutes after entering the subway station, the two fled in panic because there were too many people.

After leading Sakura out of the encirclement, even with Hojo Kyosuke's physical strength, he was sweating all over his forehead.

"Hey, Xisaki, let the car pick me up, I'm..."

It's so sad that Lord Hojo, who wanted to be close to the people for once, was stabbed in the back.

The last person who drove over was Hojo Kyosuke's most loyal driver, Sobu High School's guest coach Mihara Akizo. After the fake car stopped, he even honked the horn twice at the risk of being fined, which was quite coquettish.

"Hahaha, I knew you couldn't bear to part with this golden seat, Hojo!"

Ryota Tsuchiya, a fixed decoration on the car, laughed.

"..."

Kyosuke Hojo's mouth twitched, and then explained to the curious Sakura what a golden seat was.

When the girl heard that there was such a high-end seat, she sat on it immediately.

"Oh oh oh! It feels really good!" Sakura said in surprise.

Ryota Tsuchiya next to him changed his expression, wanted to say something but didn't say it, just looked at his dear ticket owner aggrievedly. (End of this chapter)
