"I will communicate with your family in advance to ensure that no one is absent."

What?! That's going too far!

Why do I need to take extra classes on weekends when I'm joining a band, not a training course?

Furthermore, parents must be notified.

"President, I used to think you were a really good person, but now, I don't like you anymore." Kita Ikuyo snorted.

"It's okay, I don't need you to like it, I just need you to improve your grades. And if you really don't want to, I won't force you, it's your own business anyway."

"Why are you saying such adult-like things? It makes me feel like I've done something wrong."

"I am an adult."

"Sigh...why do we have to have classes on holidays?"

"Who told you your grades were so bad? You should be grateful we're not charging you for tutoring. A super teacher like Da Ping isn't someone you can hire anytime."

"That makes sense. Oh well... getting better grades isn't a bad thing anyway."

Chapter 247 We Must Find an Opportunity to Provoke Them Again

On Saturday, Doma Taihei arrived at Musashino as promised, ready to give the students extra lessons.

Not long after entering the Musashino Building, Masamune led Ogiso Setsuna down the stairs.

"Hello, Doma-sensei."

"Are you Setsuna Ogiso?"

As his younger sister Umaru's business partner, Doma Taihei was naturally quite familiar with her.

Although it was our first time meeting, I had seen him on TV so often these past few days that I recognized him at a glance.

"Is Kogiso a student?"

"There are five trainees in total, and Setsuna is one of them. The other four have not yet arrived."

While explaining the situation, Masamune led him to a classroom that had been cleared out on the first floor in advance.

To facilitate teaching, blackboards, chalk, and other materials have been prepared.

There are six sets of tables and chairs in the room, arranged in two rows, neatly.

"Mr. Ohira, I didn't have a chance to say this on the phone before, but what do you think about a tutoring fee of 10,000 yen per hour?"

“No money needed,” Doma Taihei quickly said. “Both I and Umaru have always been grateful for your care.”

"Moreover, the detective investigation report that Umaru brought back earlier contained many very precious photos."

"We already owe you a lot, it would be too much to ask for money again."

"These are two different things, please don't worry about them..."

After that, the two argued about the fee for more than ten minutes until Goto Ichiri and his three companions arrived and waited curiously to the side, at which point the argument finally ended.

In the end, Masamune reluctantly agreed to a friendly price of 2,000 yen per hour.

Holiday tutoring will begin soon.

Doma Daihei briefly assessed the students' level of knowledge before beginning the lesson.

Although there were five trainees, he still created different plans for each of them.

"Since everyone's knowledge level is different, let's start by reading today. You can rest for twenty minutes while I highlight the key points for you. You can read first, and then I will explain."

"no problem!"

As they left the classroom, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the band members excitedly gathered around Setsuna, asking her questions out of curiosity.

"Kiso-senpai, I really like your Gokuraku Jodo. The dance has a unique beauty and matches the song very well."

"Is Kogiso-senpai's academic performance also poor? However, we are in too many grades, wouldn't it be a bit of a hassle for us to take tutoring together?"

"Don't worry, everyone. Umaru-nii's teaching ability is outstanding..."

During their casual conversation, Setsuna gained a basic understanding of the group.

This is a newly formed band, and its potential is yet to be seen, but the atmosphere is great. Even the usually quiet Goto Ichiri has already integrated into the group.

"You lot, come in and start class!"

"Yes, Doma-sensei."

On this day, Doma Taihei's loud voice could be heard from time to time inside the first floor of Musashino.

Compared to Umaru's older brother, Oni no Taihei's nickname has become increasingly well-known.

It wasn't until after 4 p.m., when the tutoring class ended and the four band members were about to leave, that they noticed Ogiso Setsuna walking further down the first floor.

Out of curiosity, I tiptoed after him.

Gently push open the door, and through the crack, you can vaguely see the sound system and other equipment, as well as three people practicing dance.

The house was so well soundproofed that the moment the door opened, the faint singing suddenly became incredibly loud and reached the ears of everyone present.

That clear voice was like a gentle breeze, brushing past their hearts.

The simple melody and gentle vocals gave the group a feeling of being enveloped in sweet cotton candy.

"Amazing…"

"Yes."

The person who was just tutoring me suddenly displayed extraordinary abilities.

It was at this moment that the group realized that Ogiso Setsuna had become famous throughout the country with a single song and was currently the most popular new singer.

The four of them had not yet started and were still in the preparation stage before they began.

The door closed quietly, and the singing faded into the distance.

"Liang, how's our band's music coming along?"

"It's already finished and given to Little Boch."

Noticing that all three were looking at him, Goto Ichiri pulled up his collar again to cover the lower half of his face before whispering:

"It's almost finished writing, but it still needs some polishing."

For a song, the melody is important, but the lyrics are also crucial.

Based on their previous discussions, the group decided to follow the script's setup, with Ryo Yamada composing the music and Ichiri Goto writing the lyrics.

Unlike Yamada Ryo, who had experience in bands, Goto Ichiri was a complete newcomer and this was her first time writing lyrics.

Seeing her become hesitant and timid again, Ichiji Nijika unconsciously thought:

Did I put too much pressure on her?

Because I read the animation script, I naturally assumed that she could write lyrics.

But there was no one else besides her, so they couldn't put all the pressure on Liang.

“Little Boqi, even though it’s already past four o’clock, let’s go to STARRY to practice singing, using the lyrics you wrote.”

"Once we've practiced enough, we'll contact our agent and try performing on stage."

"Mm," Goto Ichiri responded softly.

Since reading the anime script and forming the End Band with the three of them, she has visited Nijika's house several times.

Although the business license states that it is a catering business, STARRY is actually a venue specifically for live performances, and the upstairs is the residence of Nijika's family.

According to the animation script, after joining the End Band, they were all pulled into STARRY to work part-time, practicing singing while also doing odd jobs.

However, in reality, only Hongxia and Liang are working part-time.

This is probably due to age considerations; after all, unlike high school students, junior high school students are almost always prohibited from working.

Of course, Goto Ichiri was actually very happy that she didn't need to work.

Anyway, the firm provides a living allowance, and with the previous licensing fees, we're not short of money.

"Should we tell the manager?" Kita Ikuyo asked hesitantly.

"Okay, let's go upstairs and take a look."

Hongxia led the way, and the group slowly walked upstairs.

Unlike the quiet first floor, which is sparsely populated, the second floor is slightly noisy.

Some people were chatting, some were on the phone, and some were mentoring newcomers.

After looking around, the four of them quickly found their manager, Chisato Matsumoto, who was sitting in the corner browsing the web at a computer.

"Miss Qianli."

"Hongxia, has your tutoring finished? How did it go? Did you learn anything?"

"Yes, Mr. Doma's lecture was very good. I feel that it won't be long before our grades will improve by leaps and bounds."

"That's good. Your individual grades are also very important for the band. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if someone had to repeat a grade or need to take extra classes during the holidays because of poor grades."

"Indeed, I'm really looking forward to meeting Pochi and the others at Shimokitazawa High School next year..."

After chatting for a while, Hongxia said her goodbye:

"If Miss Qianli has nothing else to do, we'll go to STARRY to practice singing."

"Okay, I'll drive you there. Let me know in advance when it's almost time to leave, and I'll come pick you up then."

"That would be too much trouble for Miss Qianli."

"Don't worry about it, this is just my job."

Matsumoto Chisato smiled helplessly, looked around, and sighed:

"As you can see from the situation at the agency, everyone is very busy, especially now, during the middle of each quarter when the voice actors are very active."

"Most of the members in our agency are voice actors, and everyone is busy with work right now."

"And I, as a new manager, am only responsible for your band."
