Chapter 299: Even the Battle-Damaged Version Has Its Advantages
"Don't worry about clothes at all! I just bought a lot of nice clothes! And exactly four pieces!"
Hayasaka Ai gestured for Uchiha Ryo to open the bag that had been brought in, revealing the [Magical Girl Outfit], [Elf Outfit], [Warrior Outfit], and [Investigator Outfit] inside.
The innocent-minded Ichiji Nijika immediately showed a surprised expression, "Oh! Is this a cosplay outfit? It looks great!"
Hayasaka Ai raised her head, "Right! Why don't the four of you try them on?"
Yamada Ryo picked up the investigator's black leggings. "Hmm! I prefer these. They look pretty punk, don't they?"
Nijika Iji hesitated, "But these are all new clothes that Hayasaka-san just bought..."
"It's alright, it's alright! You can borrow them! Come on, everyone, come and choose some clothes!" Hayasaka Ai was very generous.
After choosing his black investigator outfit, Yamada Ryo patted Nijika on the shoulder and said, "Well, since it's Hayasaka-san's idea, let's try it on. I think this outfit suits Nijika."
Following Yamada Ryo's gaze, Ijichi Nigatsu saw the female warrior's clothes...
"Why am I a warrior?! Don't I look like the weakest one?!"
Yamada Ryo rested his chin on his hand, thinking seriously. "But, Nijika is a drummer, right? Although... drummers always give off a feeling of power, don't they?"
"Strength isn't something that's outwardly displayed, you know...."
Yamada Ryo turned to look at Kita-chan and Kotori, who were picking out clothes, and asked, "What do you think of the warrior outfits for the two of them?"
"Well...."
Nijika Ijichi imagined it in her mind: cute Kita-chan in a warrior outfit did look a bit out of place, and if Kotori wore it, the contrast would be even greater...
"Then let's leave it to Ryo, who can pull off menswear!"
"I don't want to! I've already chosen my investigator's uniform. Hmph! A cold-blooded female commander—that's my true identity."
On the other side, Kita Ikuyo picked up the elf's clothes. It has to be said that Kita's long red hair and the green elf lace dress also gave off a unique feeling.
So, what's left for the little lonely one is...
"Should I...wear this dress?"
Goto Ichiri picked up the brightly colored magical girl costume. She was clearly a nobody in the shadows, how could she wear such clothes!
"Oh? That's so cute! Little Lonely, put it on quickly, I want to take a picture and post it on our band's account."
Kita Ikuyo started taking selfies, and Yamada Ryo, who had also changed clothes, started taking pictures as well.
"Be careful, these were lent to us by Hayasaka-san, we can't break them!"
Uchiha Ryo said nonchalantly, "It's fine. Even a battle-damaged version has its advantages. Hayasaka's clothes will wear out eventually anyway."
Hayasaka Ai quickly covered Uchiha Ryo's mouth, but fortunately, Ijichi Nijika was too naive to understand what this person was saying.
"Our band is performing later, so why don't you all wear these on stage?" Kita Ikuyo seemed to really like her fairy dress.
"No, no, no, no! I absolutely can't! Standing in front of people wearing clothes like this..." Little Lonely quickly shook his head.
Yamada Ryo calmly looked at Goto Ichiri. "Really? If you can't even face an audience in front of this many people, then what about the matches we're going to participate in, where there will be thousands of people in the audience..."
Little Lonely fell silent. There were thousands of people there, and before participating in the music festival, they would hold a live performance to prove that their band had the ability to compete.
Whether it's a music festival stage with thousands of people, an official live performance for 500, or a small show with fewer than 50 people at the Starlight Bar, you have to experience it all yourself!
Goto Ichiri took a deep breath and then took out a robot armor made entirely of cardboard from his personal trash can (storage box).
"Now is the time to show everyone the enhanced Goto Ichiri!"
Nijika Ichichi: "Eh?! The ripe mango has evolved!"
The original giant cardboard box has been sewn together to become a cardboard robot! In some ways, this is even more eye-catching than the magical girl outfit!
Uchiha Ryo stepped forward and tapped it. "Is it handmade? How's its defense?"
Ichi Nijika nodded. "It's really impressive... But you have so much free time to do this kind of thing, why can't you try to push yourself and perform in front of people!"
"No, no, no, my dad made this."
Uchiha Ryo had an "I see" look on his face. Sure enough, men will like Gundam and mecha no matter what age they are!
"Since you have a performance later, Hayasaka and I will head out now. Good luck!"
Uchiha Ryo stood up, pulled Hayasaka up, waved to the four of them, and then left the backstage area.
The Starlight Bar was already quite crowded with tourists, all waiting for the band's performance. After half a semester of experience, the band had finally gained a loyal following (though only a dozen or so people).
"Ah, that's the boy who did the outdoor performance with Koto that day!"
Turning around, two stylishly dressed female college students jogged up to me. "Aren't you performing with the band today?!"
"Uh, I'm not the one who's ending the band, so I won't be performing."
The two girls looked slightly disappointed, but still smiled. "Let's enjoy the band's music together! We're already fans! Let's add each other on Line!"
Just as Uchiha Ryo took out his phone, Hayasaka Ai beat him to it and added two girls to her Line.
"What a coincidence! I'm also a fan of the End of the Band!"
Hayasaka Ai's acting skills are impeccable; she instantly struck up a conversation with the two female college students.
Then one of the people on the other side suddenly pulled a girl wearing glasses who was not far away over.
"This person is also a fan of the End of the Band, let's get to know each other."
(Damn it, I'm not a fan of any band that's ended, I'm here to scout the enemy!) The brown-haired girl with glasses forced a smile. "Haha, what a coincidence..."
Suddenly, her eyes met Hayasaka Ai's, and the girl with glasses felt a chill run down her spine.
What's wrong with this person? They won't recognize me, will they?! Damn it, I changed my style and wore glasses, I hope my fans won't recognize me...
After a long while, they both laughed.
Hayasaka Ai turned around and whispered to Uchiha, "She's talking. She's not a fan of the End Band at all, but she's pretending to be one to watch the show."
"Huh, what could that be, a talent scout?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's a talent scout, maybe it's someone from a management company, or maybe it's another band member who's here to gather information."
