Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1311

Kyosuke Kosaka snapped out of his reverie and listened quietly to the band members' performance.

A gentle breeze blows, and the unique melody is as if countless notes are excitedly dancing in the air.

"Ah~"

Kinnara couldn't help but gasp softly, her little wings fluttering merrily, her voluptuous and slender body swaying in rhythm with the music.

Kagura couldn't help but nod her little head, like a chick pecking at rice.

Kousaka Kyosuke laughed silently.

Other thoughts flashed through my mind—perhaps such rhythmic rock music could become a way for people to vent their emotions during the war, and it seemed like we could try to expand the ranks now…

358. Rock band / Kita "Pokei-chan" / Familiar voice asking for help

"It's music that really gets your emotions going!"

As soon as the performance ended, Kinnara gave a very happy evaluation.

"Compared to the previous music, the emotions... are expressed more strongly."

Kagura tilted her head, thought for a second or two, and then gave her evaluation.

Kikuri Hiroi chuckled: "That's 'rock and roll'."

Actually, everyone had deliberately toned down their music a bit before.

After all, music in this era is elegant and understated.

Simultaneously.

Only elegant people, who are likely either nobles or wealthy, can participate.

Only they have the right, time, and energy to listen to music.

Therefore, these people can definitely represent the majority of people's views on music.

And rock and roll?

When I want to express something of my own, I inevitably become "intense".

This should be novel for those who often listen to elegant music, but there's also a good chance it will be disliked.

It was simply too unconventional.

Just like when a particular style of music appears in the music industry, many people will inevitably feel aversion to it.

It's perfectly normal to even criticize them directly with cold words.

Given their cautious nature, they wouldn't normally play overly "rock" style music.

But since everyone had already learned that Kyosuke Kousaka wasn't opposed to it, they naturally started rocking out.

"Mmm, it feels so good to rock out with all my might like this~"

Yamada Ryo wiped some sweat from his neck with a small handkerchief.

The bass exists primarily as a bass accompaniment instrument, and its presence is almost negligible.

The mental and physical effort required to operate it is not low at all.

Just like how the bass strings on Yamada Ryo's hands are 0.5 times thicker than the guitar strings on Pochi-chan's hands, it requires more strength and arm strength to play.

"I seem to have made quite a few mistakes," Kita Ikuyo said apologetically, glancing anxiously at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kosaka: "It's okay, Pochi-chan made quite a few mistakes when she first started playing."

"—I'm sorry, Kyosuke-sama!"

Boqi squatted down, covered her head, and apologized, the world in her eyes becoming blurry.

"It's okay. You played better and better as the game progressed, and you made up for all of Yudai's shortcomings more than enough."

Kyosuke Kosaka smiled apologetically and bent down to stroke Pochi's hair.

"Kyosuke, your words of comfort are completely inadequate."

Kinnara said.

Kyosuke Kosaka replied, "After all, it's been quite a long time since the evaluation. If the evaluation is too insincere, it wouldn't be fair to Hoshika, Kikuri, and Ryo, who played very well."

"Please tell me the truth, Lord Kyosuke!" Hoshika said immediately.

Kikuri Hiroi scratched her face with her fingers:

"I'm happy to be praised, but I don't think I can be too happy about it."

PA-san, who was in the audience, said, "It's only when the whole band is praised together that they are truly recognized."

"I'm sorry, Kyosuke-sama!"

"terribly sorry……"

Pochi-chan, Kita Ikuyo, and Nijika all apologized.

Among them, Hongxia, who was not praised, immediately realized that she had not done well enough, so she apologized without hesitation.

“Nijika, your skill level is alright,” Kousaka Kyosuke said. “It’s just that it’s average, so I didn’t give you any special praise.”

Hongxia immediately said, "That's exactly why it shows that my abilities have dragged everyone down!"

Yamada Ryo patted Nijika on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's because we're too good. Nijika, you don't need to blame yourself too much."

"Uh, Liang, you don't need to use my comforting techniques..."

Kousaka Kyosuke looked at Yamada Ryo with a wry smile.

To be honest, Ryo Yamada is definitely one of the most remarkable women he has ever met.

They always do things that are funny.

"I really am the most useless one..."

Kita Ikuyo was completely dumbfounded after hearing Yamada Ryo's words.

She even squatted down with her hands behind her head, just like Boqi-chan, showing a posture of not wanting to face reality.

Kyosuke Kosaka simply patted Ikuyo Kita's hair as well.

"Your talent is not bad. You can improve by asking Xingge and Boqi for advice. Take it slow."

Kyosuke Kosaka has excellent eyesight.

It was immediately obvious that Xingge had considerable experience playing the guitar, probably having practiced for many years in the modern world.

Needless to say, Pochi-chan is another one.

She initially learned guitar to become more popular, and she devoted almost all her energy to the guitar.

Just like students who study hard in school, some of their results are obvious.

Not to mention that Boqi-chan has gradually come to regard playing the guitar as a daily activity.

If you practice every day, it would be strange if your guitar skills didn't improve.

Therefore, Kita Ikuyo could never compare to Pochi-chan, who is also a guitarist.

Although they are the same age, their abilities are worlds apart.

"Thank you for your encouragement, Kyosuke-sama..."

Kita Ikuyo was a little embarrassed and didn't dare to look up at Kousaka Kyosuke.

Only then did she realize how outrageous her behavior had been.

This adult is acting like a child, clutching their head and seeking comfort...

"Okay, the evaluation is about right. I should go now. Keep up the good work, you guys."

Kousaka Kyosuke stood up with a smile, and while he was at it, he also helped up Pochi-chan and Kita Ikuyo, who were squatting down.

"Kyosuke is already a deeply sinful man; he broke the hearts of several girls with just a few words."

“I’d say that what you’re saying these days is becoming more and more distinctive.”

Upon hearing Kinnara seemingly criticizing him again, Kousaka Kyosuke couldn't help but hold Kinnara's head firmly with both hands.

Then, rub your face vigorously!

"Ugh...ugh...ugh..."

"Kagura, let's go. As for Hoshika and Kikuri, you don't need to see them off!"

Kyosuke Kosaka, pulling Kinara along and taking Kagura with him, left in a rather comical manner.

The band members bowed and watched them leave quietly.

Until Kyosuke Kousaka and the others completely disappeared.

As the team leader, Xingge then started a small meeting.

"There are only a few days left until the celebration, so I hope you can work even harder than usual, and even if you can't help it, you have to grit your teeth and bear it..."

"Ah, Xingge, your statement is too terrifying!"

"Don't look so carefree. Just because Kyosuke-sama praised you doesn't mean I'll relax my supervision of you."
