It's a romantic comedy for everyone, so why am I the only one single?

For example, Toru Ishikawa, who was in the audience, couldn't tell the difference between today's performance and yesterday's performance at all.

Moreover, they are just a club band composed of ordinary high school students, not professionals. Isn't it normal for them to play a little badly?

Anyway, this performance was just to pass the review. Yoshikawa Yuki and Hori Kyoko aren't really going to stay and form a band with him and Kotori, right?

Seeing the excited and unsatisfied expressions on Hori Kyoko and Yoshikawa Yuki's faces, Iura Hide, who was not originally worried, suddenly became a little concerned.

"How about we practice one more time?"

"It's not necessary!"

Iura Hide, wary of what was happening, decisively refused Yoshikawa Yuki's suggestion to do it again.

Immediately afterward, before Yoshikawa Yuki could say anything more, there was a knock on the door.

Chapter 69 The Layman Who Asks for More Money?

Wow! The Light Music Club has become so lively now!

A sweet and energetic voice rang out in the light music club's activity room, seemingly injecting new vitality into everything inside.

Just as Iura Hide had guessed, in addition to Kono Sakura and Sengoku Sho who were supposed to attend the audition, Ayasaki Remi, who is Sengoku Sho's girlfriend and has a personality similar to a female version of Iura Hide, with a cat-like curiosity and a love for joining in the fun, also came along.

"Yes, this is Goto Doku, who recently joined our light music club. He's a guitarist whose skills are at the level of a professional band."

"These two need no introduction; one is now a guitarist, and the other a keyboardist."

“I’m the lead singer.”

"As for Ishikawa Toru, he's the manager who moves equipment and contacts venues, just like the soccer and baseball teams."

Before she could finish speaking, Ayasaki Remi burst out laughing.

"A man as a manager? This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing!"

For a moment, apart from Mashiro and Kotori, everyone else couldn't help but laugh after their initial shock.

It was only when he was suddenly given a role that Ishikawa Toru realized he had inexplicably become the manager, and upon hearing this, he was speechless.

But there's nothing we can do about it; after all, managers are counted as employees too!

He could have had Toru Ishikawa play the drums or keyboards, and had Kyoko Hori or Yuki Yoshikawa as his manager.

But who told Ishikawa Toru to always trick him in the past?

That's right, he was deliberately getting revenge!

"Iura, are you ready?"

Although she knew that Iura Hide and Ishikawa Toru were best friends and wouldn't really get angry over such a small thing, the kind-hearted Kono Sakura still took the initiative to change the subject.

"Okay, ready."

"Then let's get started."

The usually boisterous Ayasaki Remi immediately quieted down upon hearing this, her big eyes filled with anticipation, just like Kono Sakura's.

Of course, despite their anticipation, neither of them really thought that Iura Hide and his band, which was obviously put together temporarily, could have a high level of performance.

In Kono Sakura's view, as long as she could play a song completely, she would be able to pass the review for club activity funds.

So when the high-pitched singing at the beginning and the dynamic melody started playing together, the two of them stared wide-eyed in shock, their skin crawling with goosebumps.

.

Perhaps due to nervousness, Yoshikawa Yuki played the drums with noticeably more force than during previous practice sessions.

There was also a little loneliness; he was probably completely immersed in his own world, and the sound of his guitar playing was a bit overpowering.

However, just as Iura Hide had predicted, Kono Sakura and the other two couldn't tell at all.

For them, the performance of Hideki Iura and his group can be summed up in two words: 'beautiful'.

Especially after the performance, when Ayasaki Remi asked what song it was and why she had never heard it before, she learned that it was actually written by Iura Shu himself.

What was originally just a 'pleasant to listen to' comment instantly escalated to 'shocking' and 'amazing'.

After all, even non-professionals know that writing such a good song is far more impressive than simply performing a cover.

"My God! Iura, did you really write this song yourself?" Ayasaki Remi was still somewhat incredulous.

"Of course, do you want me to show you the copyright registration information?"

"No, that's not what I meant," Ayasaki Remi quickly stuck out her tongue and explained, "I'm just so shocked!"

"Haha, I was just kidding."

""

Okay, Iura Hide is still the same silly husky who's always laughing and joking.

Ayasaki Remi pouted angrily, and the genius filter that had just been added to Iura Shu shattered instantly.

However, Kono Sakura, standing to the side, looked at Iura Shu with a different, strange light in her eyes.

"By the way, this should pass the review, right?"

"of course can."

Kono Sakura said, turning to Sengoku Sho beside her, "I think that if such excellent original music is uploaded to streaming media, it can bring a certain reputation to the Light Music Club and even our school. So I think we can increase the club's activity funding by 50%."

The approval of club activity funds is not only based on the number of club members and the content of club activities, but also has a great deal to do with the club's achievements and the honor and reputation it brings to the school.

Just like the soccer club, which had more than twenty members before he and Ishikawa Toru joined, and the club's activities were still playing soccer.

However, due to a lack of achievements, the club's activity funding was only 20 yen per semester.

However, since Iura Hide led the team to the national competition last year and achieved results, the club's activity budget for each semester has more than doubled, reaching 50 yen without changing the number of members.

However, Iura Hide was only the captain in the soccer club before, not the captain or manager, so he didn't pay attention to these things.

But now that Kono Sakura brought it up, he suddenly realized that there was another way to increase funding!

Iura Hide's eyes lit up, and he quickly turned to look at Sengoku Sho.

"I agree."

Sengoku Sho agreed to Kono Sakura's suggestion after only a brief consideration.

Although the recording hasn't even started yet, let alone achieved any results or brought honor and fame to the school.

But as a boy, he understood better than Sakura Kono and Remi Ayasaki how good and exciting this song was, and that it was impossible for it not to become a hit.

Moreover, Hideki Iura originally applied for only 50,000 yen in funding. Even with a 50% increase, it would only be 75,000 yen, which is not much.

He had barely finished speaking when Iura Hideki couldn't wait to ask, "What if I have other original music of similar quality to this one? Can we get more funding?"

Upon hearing this, Kono Sakura and the other two were all stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Are there other original music tracks of similar quality?"

"Iura (this guy), he's actually quite musically talented?"

Clearly, none of the three had heard of the "Master Jiaqian".

Just kidding, if you pay enough, you can have as many 'original' songs as you want.

Although 50,000 yen was enough for him to rent a recording studio for an afternoon and hire a professional band to help produce the accompaniment.

But wouldn't it be better to have more start-up capital?

Iura Hide looked at Sengoku Sho with anticipation, but after his initial shock, Sengoku Sho showed a suspicious and disbelieving expression.

This made him somewhat unhappy.

"What, you don't believe it?"

"Alright! Let's see how much extra club activity funding this song can bring!"

Chapter 70 Ayasaki Remi's Test

Since he had already promised Kitagawa Kaimu that he would give her "Kimi ni Todoke," Iura Shu didn't plan to bring it out again this time, even if it was just a simple performance.

But it's okay, he still has more, although his current mood isn't really suitable for singing this song either.

But

Xian Shixiang and the others couldn't tell, right?

Besides, the opportunity to make money is right in front of us. So what if it's not suitable? Even if it's not suitable, we still have to bite the bullet and sing!

Little Lonely hasn't heard the full version of this song yet, so he can't play it with him, and the song has become his own.

However, he had already proven to Sengoku Sho and Kono Sakura that the Light Music Club was now able to carry out its club activities normally, so it didn't matter if the band didn't play together this time.

The most important thing now is that the song has to be good.

Although it didn't achieve a very high ranking on the public trust list or the top 100 list in its previous life, its streaming viewership was astonishing.

Even if it can't compare to others, it's definitely a very nice song.

The moment that light and catchy melody starts, it gives you the feeling of being alone on a deserted roadside late at night, wearing big headphones, with your eyes closed, swaying and twisting under the dim streetlights.

This feeling is hard to describe in words, but no matter what, it's a great song that can grab your attention instantly and make you want to listen to it on repeat.

Listening to it is especially soothing and stress-relieving when you're feeling down.

Even though Kono Sakura and the other two had raised their expectations even higher than before, they still couldn't help but show expressions of disbelief.

After all, even amateur singers sometimes have a flash of inspiration and write a good song. But being able to write two good songs is not just a simple matter of adding one more song to the list.

What's more, Iura Hide is only a high school student, which makes him even more remarkable.

That's why Hori Kyoko and Yoshikawa Yuki were even more shocked than Sengoku Sho and the other two. They both knew that Iura Shu had also written a song that was just as beautiful and even more touching for them, "Kimi ni Todoke" (From Me to You).

"This guy is amazing!?"

For a moment, both Hori Kyoko and Yoshikawa Yuki felt as if their understanding had been refreshed once again.

Even though they had known Iura Hide for over a year and were very good friends, at this moment, they looked at him as if they were just meeting him for the first time, their eyes filled with amazement and curiosity, and a strange emotion unconsciously welled up in their hearts.
