Romantic comedy with all members, why am I single?

Chapter 272 Do you want to hear the truth?
Although the Kong Ming in "Party Rock" is definitely different from the Kong Ming in history, he is still Zhuge Kong Ming after all!
On the other side, after Tsukimi Eiko calmed down a little, she saw Iura Hide's frowning brows and remembered what she had just done. She hurriedly bowed and apologized like a pendulum.

"Simimasai! Simimimasai! I just thought you were a clerk here and wanted to ask you to help me with the arrangement of music. I really didn't mean to tap your shoulder to disturb you-ah!"

Because she was too nervous and excited, she used too much force. After only a few bows, Tsukimi Eiko lost her balance and fell on Iura Hide with a scream. Her forehead collided with Iura Hide's with a bang.

"hiss--"

Although the chair was sturdy and he did not fall, he was caught off guard by a powerful headbutt. Even with his physique, he could not help but gasp.

As for Yue Jianzi, she was in so much pain that tears were falling from her eyes.

"Simimasai! Simimimasai! I didn't mean it."

Knowing that she had gotten into trouble again, Tsukimi Eiko didn't even bother to wipe away her tears and hurriedly apologized again.

At the same time, Iura Hide looked at Tsukimi Eiko who was crying and apologizing in his arms, and suddenly he inexplicably wanted to laugh.

"I know you didn't mean it, so there's no need to apologize. But you yourself, are you not hurt?"

Iura Hide tried hard to hold back the sudden smile and subconsciously reached out to wipe away Tsukimi Eiko's tears.

After wiping it, he realized that this action seemed a little too intimate.

Tsukimi Eiko, who was originally apologizing, didn't even have time to breathe a sigh of relief before she felt Iura Hide's fingertips gently brushing the corners of her eyes. She had never been in a relationship or had any intimate contact with any boys, and her face turned red in an instant.

Then she noticed that because of the previous fall, Jingpu Xiu's other hand was subconsciously around her waist.

And her two devil fruits, which looked C+ from the outside but were actually D because she had no money to buy new underwear, were also pressed on Iura Hide's body and were squeezed and deformed.

This unprecedented experience made her breathing become rapid and her heart almost jumped out of her body.

Fortunately, at this time, Sugaya Noha and the others, who were stunned by the scene just now, came to their senses one after another. They shouted "Onii-chan", "Senior", "Are you okay?" and ran over quickly, breaking the sudden ambiguous atmosphere between the two.

"I am fine."

Jingura Hide took a deep breath quietly, said that it was okay, and grabbed Yuejian Yingzi's arm and helped her up again.

At the same time, Hoshino Ai and others who ran over finally felt relieved after seeing that Iura Hide's forehead was indeed just slightly red and he should not be injured.

Then, everyone turned their heads and looked at Tsukimi Eiko.

Several of them were somewhat dissatisfied and even disliked Tsukimi Eiko, this "reckless fan".

Not only was Noha Sugaya unable to help but frown, even the "Three-Nothing" Mashiro seemed to have a hint of hostility in her eyes.

Just looking at Yuejian Yingzi's face full of tear marks, and her red forehead and cheeks?

Several people always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Yue Jianyingzi, especially her guilty, evasive eyes. She was just like a child who had done something bad and was afraid of being discovered. It was obvious that there was something wrong with her at first glance.

However, looking at Yue Jianyingzi's miserable appearance, they didn't know what to say.

I could only stare at her with dissatisfaction and hostility.

Fortunately, Jingpu Xiu spoke up in time to help smooth things over, which helped her to ease some of the embarrassment.

"Okay, okay, Tsukimi-san didn't mean it. If it was me who suddenly met my idol, I might be even more excited and thrilled than Tsukimi-san~" Iura Hide said with a relaxed smile.

"Lord Xiu, just call me Yingzi." Yuejian Yingzi said in a low voice of gratitude while wiping the tears from her face.

"Well, I just heard Yingzi-chan say that she wanted to find the store manager to compose music, right? The store manager should be in the music store on the first floor now."

Iura Hide tried to bring the topic back to the beginning, but before he could finish his words, Tsukimi Eiko screamed.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Jingura Hide asked puzzledly.

What's the problem? It's a big problem!
The little incident just now delayed us for at least several minutes, and that’s just a small amount of money!

Of course, just like boys usually hide their financial constraints in front of the girls they like.

Tsukimi Eiko doesn't want her idol to know that she is a poor person.

"No, it's nothing!"

As Tsukimi Eiko spoke, she avoided Iura Hide's concerned gaze feeling guilty, embarrassed and ashamed.

However, just as she was about to say goodbye to Iura Hide and go downstairs to find Mizuno Akina, a "bold" idea suddenly popped into her head.

"Master Xiu's arrangement is 100% better than that of the store manager, right?"

Thinking of this, Yuejian Yingzi's heartbeat, which had not yet completely calmed down, became rapid again.

A strong impulse gushed out, making her involuntarily grab the collar of her chest tightly.

"Ah -"

Tsukimi Eiko knew that her request was very presumptuous.

After all, Iura Hide won the weekly championship as soon as he debuted and was hailed as the most talented super genius high school original singer in the past decade!
She has also uploaded songs she wrote to Spotify, YouTube and some video websites, so she knows very well that each of the songs currently released by Iura Hide can bring in at least tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.

There was no way she could afford to hire Jingpu Xiu.

Unless, Iura Hideken is willing to help her for free.

But Jingura Xiu and she are not related in any way, and she even disturbed and offended Jingura Xiu just now. Why should Jingura Xiu help her for free?
Is it because she is a fan of Iura Hide?

But she didn't have the money to watch Iura Hide's live performance, and now she was lucky enough to meet Iura Hide in person, she really didn't want to miss this rare opportunity!
so.
"——Simimasai!"

Tsukimi Eiko suddenly bowed 90 degrees again, which scared Iura Hide so much that he leaned back tactically and instinctively wanted to distance himself from her.

Fortunately, Tsukimi Eiko was bending over and couldn't see this scene, otherwise she would probably be so embarrassed that she would want to find a crack in the floor and crawl into it.

"Master Xiu, could you please help me take a look at the new song I just recorded? I feel like there's something wrong with my arrangement, so I'd like to ask for your guidance!"

Tsukimi Eiko didn't dare to be so shameless as to ask Iura Hide to help her compose the music directly. She just wanted to ask Iura Hide to guide her.

After hearing her request, Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Let me guide you in composing the music?"

"Yes, yes, please! As long as you agree, I am willing to do anything!"

“???” Are you willing to do anything?
Why does this sound a little wrong?

Is there anything else you want to do?

Not only Iura Hide, but also Sugaya Noha and the others beside her were speechless after hearing her say that.

However, after hesitating for a moment, Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but recall the crying and stupid look of her lying in his arms just now, and finally agreed.

Although the anime "Party Tramp" is a comedy music show with fairly good graphics, its theme songs and interludes are quite average. During the season when it was broadcast, even with the bonus of the anime's popularity, it still didn't even make it into the top 100 of the weekly charts. So even with his level, there shouldn't be any problem with some guidance, right?
"Huh? You, you, you agreed? That's great!"

Yue Jianyingzi's face turned red with excitement. She lost her balance and almost fell on him again. It was hard to say whether she did it on purpose or accidentally.

However, in order to save time, she relied on her extraordinary waist and abdominal strength to regain control of her body balance.

Then, with a nervousness and anticipation that could not be described in words, I went to the monitoring room with Iura Hide.

But, after a moment.
"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Iura Hide took off his headphones and turned to look at Tsukimi Eiko again. The first sentence he said made Tsukimi Eiko's originally red face turn pale in an instant.

Since she was a child, she dreamed of becoming a singer under the influence of her father who passed away early. Later, her family suffered a series of great changes and all her relatives passed away one after another. Just when she was desperate and ready to commit suicide by lying on the railway tracks, it was music that saved her.

Therefore, music and the dream of becoming a popular singer inherited from her father are everything to her now.

Once she loses even these and has nothing left, she really doesn’t know how to live on.

However, looking into Jingpu Xiu's eyes, she took a deep breath and chose to face reality despite her trembling body.

"It's me. I want to hear the truth!"

"Well, first of all, I want to say that your singing skills are very good. Even compared to those first-line singers, they are not inferior. Your vocal range is very wide, which means that you can basically sing any song, and this is also your advantage."

"Eh? Are you complimenting me?"

Tsukimi Eiko, who had originally thought that she was going to be met with a barrage of criticism and even ridicule, was stunned and blinked foolishly, and her pale face regained some color.

"Yes, it's a compliment." Jingpu Xiu nodded, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, as a poor student, Tsukimi Eiko didn't know that a round of praise usually starts with a "but".

However, since Yue Jianyingzi chose to listen to the truth, he continued, "In addition, your greatest advantage is that your singing is full of rich emotions, which is more rare than excellent singing skills. It can touch the power of the soul."

"Even many first-tier singers can't maintain this level every time they perform."

"However, your voice has no distinctive features, and therefore no recognition, and cannot leave a deep impression on the audience."

"In this way, how far you can go as a singer and what height you can reach in the end will depend entirely on the quality of the songs you sing."

"If you can find an excellent composer or arranger, it won't be difficult for you to become a top singer in a short period of time."

"But unfortunately, you have absolutely no talent in composing and arranging music."

"Even if you have excellent singing skills and rich emotions, with your current level of composition and arrangement, I'm afraid you can't support a performance hall with 100 people."

The little bit of energy that Tsukimi Eiko had just recovered disappeared without a trace before she finished listening. She became dejected again, her face turned pale, and her whole body couldn't help shaking.

Because everything Iura Hide said was right.

The so-called 'on-call substitute singer' is actually someone who fills in the blank time when the regular resident singer is late or absent due to some unexpected matter, or needs a break due to being tired of singing.

Let her support a performance hall with a capacity of 100 people?

Haha, she can’t even hold a performance hall for ten people!
Jing Pu Xiu looked at her dejected appearance and couldn't help but feel some sympathy.

In fact, in the original anime, even with the skills and vocal range of a top-notch singer, and the singing voice of a junior soul, she even has the assistance of Kong Ming, who uses various strategies and routines to help her attract fans.

Her popularity has never increased, and 1000 fans is almost the limit.

The reason was that, apart from the lack of good composition and arrangement, her voice was too unrecognizable, so Kong Ming later had to find her a partner with a legendary rapper who had won three consecutive championships in the underground rap world. Then he used a trick to find a first-class arranger who charged 1000 million yen for a song to help her arrange the music. This finally made her famous.

However, it is not her fault that this situation happened. The production company of "Party Rock" should be blamed.

Although it is a music anime, the production company did not pay much attention to the music during the production process.

Not only are the voice actors for the character and the singers of the songs two different people, but Tsukimi Eiko usually speaks like a naive sweet girl, but when she starts singing, her voice becomes magnetic, which sounds a bit disconnected.

Moreover, the singer of the song is an online cover singer who has been out of fashion for more than ten years and cannot write songs at all.

The result is
"Writing lyrics is fine, but composing and arranging music really requires talent."

"If you continue to insist on originality, it will be difficult for you to become a top singer, let alone a 'ground singer'."

"So it's best to find an artist company or music company that is more capable and optimistic about you, and find some great composers to help you write songs."

Tsukimi Eiko, who already had some inferiority complex, staggered before she could finish listening. Fortunately, Ichichi Hongxia, who was next to her, reached out to help her in time and prevented her from falling.

Join an artist agency or music company and find some great composers to help her write songs?

If these were so easy to do, she wouldn't have to write her own songs now!
Yes, although at the beginning, she, like Momoka Kawahara and most people, hoped to sing the songs she wrote and become a popular original singer.

However, after writing so many songs that didn't make any splash, she actually realized a long time ago that she had no talent for songwriting.

If possible, she actually wants to join a strong artist company or music company and find someone else to write songs for her.

After all, not everyone can possess both top-notch creative and singing talents like Kenshi Yonezu and Green Apple.

But because of the needs of the plot, even though she had an appearance that was no less outstanding than Mashiro and Hori Kyoko, excellent singing skills comparable to first-class singers, and singing emotions that touched the soul, she still could not join any music company or artist agency before Kong Ming appeared, and she was reduced to the point of being about to give up music.

It was only when Iura Hide thought about this that he finally understood why Tsukimi Eiko's gray-blue eyes were filled with such intense despair.

"Want to help her?"

Jingpu Xiu couldn't help but hesitate.

When he was watching anime in his previous life, he quite liked Tsukimi Eiko, but if he intervened, what if she couldn't meet Kong Ming?
"No, her fate had already been changed since she met me and I revealed the truth to her in advance."
