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

"Hey, Xiu, how's the recording going?"

Iura Hide glanced at the sender and raised an eyebrow when he saw that it was Ishikawa Toru.

"That's weird. Why would this guy care about my new song? Shouldn't his head be full of games and Hori-kun?"

Iura Hide was somewhat puzzled.

However, we certainly can't miss out on paid downloads that come knocking on our door, right? After all, even a small amount is still something.

Most importantly, he would be somewhat embarrassed if he took the initiative to ask, but if Ishikawa Toru asked first, he wouldn't hold back.

"It's already recorded and uploaded. The song title is 'Wanli Sunshine Band,' go download it now!"

After sending the message, Iura Hide switched back to the interface and took another look. He found that in just a short while, the number of paid downloads had already increased from the previous number, and he felt a surge of joy.

After all, these downloads only amount to a small amount of money!

“Eh-do”

"If a song sells for 50 yen and the creator receives 70% of the revenue—that would be over 200,000 yen!?"

"Oh my God!"

"He earned over 200,000 yen in less than three hours, that's over 1.6 million yen a day!?"

"One month is..."

After just a simple calculation, Iura Hide was almost turned into a meme in shock.

Of course, the growth in downloads cannot be constant, so his calculation results will definitely differ greatly from the actual situation.

However, his years of experience listening to music told him that new songs that can achieve this ranking on the weekly new song charts generally have monthly sales of no less than 100,000.

Even if we only calculate it at 100,000, that's still 3.5 million yen a month.

"Wan... doesn't seem like a lot?" Iura Hide clicked his tongue.

"As expected, neither singing nor writing light novels can make as much money as drawing comics."

At that moment, Hideki Iura suddenly felt a pang of longing for Mashiro.

"Oh right, I didn't prepare any change of underwear for Mashiro today!"

The next second, what popped into Iura Hide's mind wasn't Mashiro's alluring absolute territory, but rather the room he had painstakingly tidied up for Mashiro, which had been made a mess again because Mashiro was looking for her panties.

"hiss--"

"what time is it now?"

"Should we still make it in time?"

Iura Hide couldn't help but glance at the time, then turned to look at Hoshino Ai.

Perhaps it was because of the different type of music, but by now, Hoshino Ai had lost the excitement and curiosity she had at the beginning. In addition, with so many people, the air quality was inevitably a bit poor, and at this moment, beads of sweat were faintly appearing on her fair and smooth forehead.

"Damn it, it seems like I have another reason not to perform at Starlight Entertainment."

"but"

"If Xiao Ai wants to step onto the big stage and become the most popular idol like in the original story, she definitely needs to hone her skills in this kind of small-scale training first."

The thought flashed through his mind, and then Iura Hide gently patted Hoshino Ai's shoulder.

"It's getting late, shall we go home?"

The gentle voice that suddenly rang in her ears made Hoshino Ai involuntarily pause.

Come back home?

This was undoubtedly a distant and unfamiliar word to her.

Hoshino Ai subconsciously raised her head, and the moment her eyes met Iura Hide's, she suddenly felt a little dazed and didn't know what to say.

However, her body had already answered for her, like a moth drawn to the light, instinctively grabbing Iura Hide's hand.

"Come back home"

Hoshino Ai silently repeated these two words in her mind, and suddenly couldn't help but feel a little nervous and expectant.

Chapter 93 You forced me to

"Hey? Senior, are you going back?"

"Yes, I've been out all day and want to go back and rest as soon as possible."

"Oh, that's how it is"

It was a purely accidental encounter, not something we agreed upon, so it's perfectly normal that we have to part ways now.

But Sugaya Noi felt inexplicably flustered, and a strong sense of reluctance welled up in her heart.

"I was just about to go home too, let's go together!"

Sugaya Noi almost instinctively blurted it out, but then she thought of Kitagawa Haimu, and the words seemed to be blocked by something in her throat, her mouth open but unable to make a sound.

"It's just going to the subway station together, even if we're just ordinary friends, right?"

"No, no, senior is already Hai Meng's boyfriend."

Two voices battled fiercely in Sugaya Noi's head, eventually culminating in a dry "bye-bye," as she watched helplessly as Iura Hide and Hoshino Ai turned and walked away through the crowd.

At that moment, Sugaya Nowa felt as if a huge rock was pressing on her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"Huh, Noha, why are you alone? Where's Iura-senpai?"

The heavy feeling in my chest finally eased a little when Takasago Chie, who had gone to get the earphones, finally returned to my side.

"He's already left."

"Huh? They left so early? It's not even nine o'clock yet!"

"Yeah, he just participated in a student council off-campus activity this morning, then spent the afternoon recording songs, and then accompanied his sister to see a show tonight. He must be tired."

Seeing the surprised look on Takasago Chie's face, Sugaya Noiwa couldn't help but explain for Iura Hide.

However, after hearing this, Takasago Chie's expression became even stranger.

"Do you really need to know so much? Did you install a tracking device on Iura-senpai?"

Seeing Takasago Chie's grinning face, Sugaya Noi couldn't help but feel annoyed.

However, she could guess that Takasago Chie was just joking with her because she was in a bad mood, so she deliberately cooperated by pouncing on her and pinching Takasago Chie's cheeks hard.

"Hey, that's going too far! Let go right now, or you think I'll make you cry?"

"Do not believe!"

Sugaya Nowa definitely wouldn't believe it.

Normally, she's always been the one at the top of the food chain between her and Chie Takasago!

Although Chie Takasago is a little smarter than her, she's a gyaru, and her fighting skills are definitely superior!

However, she soon discovered that Takasago Chie seemed to have truly found her Achilles' heel.

"You forced me to do this!"

Don't blame me for not giving you a chance~

"You idiot, Noha, if you had just told Iura-senpai about forming a band with Nijika-nee, you could have kept him here a little longer~"

"????"

Despite her soft and cute voice, Sugaya Noha seemed to be struck by lightning, her movements froze, and her whole body stiffened.

"Yeah! Why didn't I think of that!"

A wave of frustration, several times stronger than before, washed over her, almost bringing Sugaya Noha to tears.

However, to avoid even more severe retaliation, after escaping Sugaya Noa's clutches, Takasago Chie immediately took out her earphones to distract her.

"You idiot, Naoyu, do you still want those headphones? If you don't, I'll take them and listen to them first~"

".want!"

Although she really wanted to refuse firmly, this time, Sugaya Noi only held out for a second before decisively choosing to follow her heart and obediently followed Takasago Chie out of the crowd and into the beverage area.

then

"Nijika-nee? Yamada-senpai? You're already listening!?"

"Yes~"

"!!!"

At this moment, Sugaya Noi almost turned into a madwoman. She said, "Why did it take Takasago Chie almost ten minutes to come back after borrowing an earphone?"

If Takasago Chie had come back earlier, then she could have...

"Nisunai! Nisunai! Nisunai!"

Sugaya Noiwa, like a cat with its fur standing on end, pounced on Takasago Chie with bared teeth and claws.

Meanwhile, Ishikawa Toru, who had received the reply earlier, was also startled by the 'unbelievable' data after opening it. After regaining his senses, he immediately shared it with Hori Kyoko and Yoshikawa Yuki.

It has to be said that, despite being childhood friends and best buddies, Toru Ishikawa, with his straightforward personality, is much more reliable than Chie Takasago.

As they listened to the upbeat melody playing on repeat in their headphones, both Kyoko Hori and Yuki Yoshikawa unconsciously swayed their heads slightly, and gentle ripples spread through their hearts.

"Here we are, right here."

Half an hour later, on the dim and quiet street under the streetlights, Hoshino Ai looked at the Japanese mansion in front of her, which covered several hundred square meters, with a look of astonishment on her face.

Having grown up in a poor single-parent family, she understands better than her peers just how extravagant it is to own such a mansion in Tokyo's Shibuya district, where land is incredibly expensive.

Even though this place is relatively close to Meguro Ward, it is still part of Shibuya Ward!

Hoshino Ai, who had been nervous the whole way, couldn't help but turn her head to look at Iura Hide, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

"Was this guy's family really that rich?"

Clearly, Hideaki Iura is not the same as the wealthy person she imagines.

After the initial surprise, she became even more nervous, as this was the first time she had ever visited someone else's home.
