Chapter 350

Speaking of which, between making Gotou Hitori more cheerful and cooking for Yuihama Yui at the church... which one was more difficult?

"Bocchi-chan's outfit is so unoriginal, it's practically just camouflage!"

"Camouflage?"

Kita Ikuyo took on the role of the repeater.

"Yes, a camouflage that doesn't attract attention,"

He patted her slender shoulders, which were encased in sturdy sportswear. "You've got a good figure, but dressing like this, of course you're not going to turn heads, are you?"

"Perhaps this is also a result of her subconscious desire to avoid attracting the attention of others."

"I see!"

Kita Ikuyo realized.

"Is that so?"

Ichiji Nijika looked at Gotou Hitori with suspicion.

"Ah, no, I don't know either, I just went with my gut feeling."

She frowned, her gaze darting between the group, rubbing her hands together. "But... but what Mr. Talent said isn't entirely without merit..."

"Hmm... even so, what does that have to do with making Bocchi less afraid?"

Ichiji Nijika tilted her head and looked at him.

"Certainly!"

He closed his eyes and nodded affirmatively, "While it may be difficult to make her more outgoing in her lifetime, there are ways to simply get her used to being in the public eye."

"You'll get used to it!"

"Habit? How do you do it?"

Kita Ikuyo tapped her chin and blinked rapidly.

"Just change her clothes, dress her up nicely, and turn her into a cute girl who can attract attention—that would be great."

He finished speaking these words in two seconds using high-speed divine speech, and then sat there calmly and composedly.

The group looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then understood what he meant.

"So, all you need to do is dress up Bocchi-chan in cute clothes? Is it really that simple?"

Many things seem complicated, but they're actually quite simple at their core!

"Huh? But does Gotoh-san have any clothes besides his gym uniform and school uniform?"

The group turned their attention back to her, Gotou Hitori immediately felt sweat beading on her forehead. She said nervously, "Auntie, yes, I do have some, but I've never worn them."

"Really?!"

Ichiji Nijika was greatly shocked.

Why aren't you wearing it?

Kita Ikuyo doubts.

"Because my mom bought those for me, I don't really like the designs..."

"Bang!": Water? Si Ling started two things^ dig to death

Suddenly, a pair of cat ears sprouted from Ichiji Nijika hair. Like a wildcat encountering dried fish, she leaned closer with gleaming eyes, "Eh~ I really want to see!"

"I've never seen Gotoh-san in anything other than her gym clothes, I want to see it too!"

"Hey~ you should try it on!"

"Huh?"

Gotou Hitori leaned back a short distance and bumped into Sakurakoji Talent behind him.

Please, please!

X 2.

"Huh?!"

"Please, please, please...!"

X 3.

Finding it amusing Kanau joined in, her three adorable little faces crowding in front of her, making it hard for her to breathe.

"That's certainly possible..."

"Very good!"

X 3.

"There's no time to lose! Let's change it now!"

Ichiji Nijika urged.

"Ah, Mr. Talent, could you please wait outside for a moment?"

"Tsk~"

"You smacked your lips, didn't you?!"

You misheard me.

Hmph, so now you're not treating me like a woman anymore? What a wicked and distorted view!

Ten minutes later.

"This is also..."

"So cute...!"

"Kawaii ~"

Not bad.

After Gotou Hitori changed into a regular, cute casual dress, the four of them gave their comments.

"Great! Look over here, look over here!"

Kita Ikuyo held up her phone and kept taking pictures of her.

"No, taking pictures is...!"

Ichiji Nijika, who was standing to the side, nodded repeatedly as if she had expected it. "I knew it~ Bocchi-chan is very cute!"

"She's so cute that I've completely forgotten about her usual bizarre and grotesque behavior!"

Kita Ikuyo clasped her hands in agreement, then looked at Sakurakoji Talent: "I think I understand what Talent-senpai meant!"

"Right, right?"

He held his head high with pride.

"Ah, um... can I take it off now?"

Unlike their excitement, Gotou Hitori's face was covered in black lines, looking nauseous and restless as she Kokoro sought their opinions.

"What are you talking about? From now on, you'll be wearing these clothes, even when you go out."

"Huh?"

Gotou Hitori stared at him in disbelief, her eyes a hundred times more terrified than when she was in the closet.

Sakurakoji Talent said matter-of-factly, "Otherwise, how can I attract other people's attention and make it a habit?"

"Oyster, oyster!!! I'm going to die!!!"

Gotou Hitori frantically waved his Hands, trying to retreat backward.

"No, look at me, then look at Rakuna, Nijika, Kita... none of them will die."

He offered words of comfort and gave a thumbs-up.

"Believe me, this comes from someone like me who gets 200% attention on the street, so it's definitely true!"

"I, I, I'm different from you all! I really will die!"

"So, is it better to try a method that might lead to death, or is it better to realize you can't do it, give up on the band's goals... and die in society or at home?"

He squatted down beside her and poked her soft, bouncy cheek with his hand.

"Ah..."

Gotou Hitori was stunned, and fell into a state of bewilderment.

To give up on Kessoku Band and everyone else, and go back to being an unknown nobody... is worse than death!

"How about you just pretend I tricked you? Give it a try."

He withdrew his finger, cupped his face in his hands, and coaxed her with a smile.

"Ah, but... but I don't really like this style..."

She made a weak, final struggle.

"Hmm, that is a problem, but your taste is already terrible enough, so going along with it probably won't have much effect..."

He sighed helplessly.

To be fair, he is someone who respects other people's autonomy.

He felt that it was more important for himself to feel good than for others to think he looked good, but... her fashion sense and taste in music were hard to compliment.

Besides, the purpose this time is treatment! We can't just do whatever we like!

"Just know that you're cute in other people's eyes right now! As for clothes... when you take things a step further, just focus on your performance outfits!"

"Me, cute?"

She repeated the word doubtfully.

"Of course! Gotoh-san is super cute right now!"

"Yes! I assure you! Bocchi-chan is very cute right now!"

"Bocchi, so cute."

After being praised by several of her teammates, her expressionless face flushed slightly, but she still asked for his opinion with some uncertainty, "So, what does Mr. Talent think?"

"I also think you look much cuter now than before -- or rather, let's leave that tracksuit in the freezer for now."

"Ah... I'm a little hurt to have my taste so dismissed..."

Ignoring her complicated feelings, he gave the order, "In short! From now on, for all your holiday outings, you must wear the casual clothes your mother bought you!"

"Also! Prepare a few sets of clothes to keep at Starry, so you can change into them when you go there after school!"

"Huh, huh?!!!"

Gotou Hitori cried out in anguish.

"No, that won't work either!"

The three people standing nearby each had a different expression.

Suddenly I feel a little sorry for Gotoh-san.

"Gulp! No way, Kita! This is all for the sake of Kessoku Band! This is a necessary sacrifice!"

Kanau squinted, secretly amused, and nonchalantly darted to the side, picked up the sportswear Lena had taken off, and measured it to see if she could fit into it...

"Ah, that's right!"

Ichiji Nijika had a great idea and clapped her hands, "Let's style our bangs too! It'll definitely look even better!"

"Huh?"

Did you deliberately grow it long?

Kita Ikuyo asked with understanding.

"Ah, I'm too scared to go to the hair salon, so I'll just have to let it grow."

"Then let me help you sort it out!"
