In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"Ze, do you have time now?"

"My piece is finished. Would you like to come to the music room with me and listen to it?"

Shirakawa Sawa was somewhat surprised.

"Xiangzi is so efficient!"

Toyokawa Shoko gave a modest smile.

"Because I really like this poem, I took the day off yesterday and have been staying in the music room ever since."

Shirakawa responded, went back to his bedroom to turn off the computer, and then went to the music store with the other person.

Upon entering the practice room, Toyokawa Shoko immediately sat down at the piano, opened the keycaps, and placed the sheet music she was holding on it.

"Ze, I'm going to start."

Shirakawa Ze nodded, sat down on the sofa next to him, and gazed at the girl.

Shoko Toyokawa took a deep breath, then closed her eyes, gently raised her hand, and placed her fingertips on the piano keys.

As the intro began, the girl softly opened her mouth.

"You suddenly live in a dream where you suddenly don't see me recently (I often dream about your sudden absence)..."

The girl's voice was clear and not high-pitched, but it could be heard very clearly.

She played and sang, completely absorbed in the music, occasionally opening her eyes to look at the boy beside her, her gaze bright.

Shirakawa Sawa also experienced what Takamatsu Akira felt back then.

As the music ended, Toyokawa Shoko looked at the boy, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Ze, how are you feeling?"

Shirakawa Ze snapped out of his daze and clapped his hands in admiration.

“Very good, Xiangzi.”

Seeing that she had been recognized, Toyokawa Shoko's smile widened. She got up, took a music score from her bag, and handed it over.

"The one I used earlier was for piano solos, this one is for orchestras."

"Please show this to the client, Ze."

Shirakawa Ze nodded and accepted the sheet music.

Toyokawa Shoko continued to ask,

"Ze, may I ask a question?"

Will this piece be performed on stage in the future?

Where can I watch the show?

Shirakawa Sawa was telling the truth.

"I'd like to have Deng Jiang sing this song, what do you think?"

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, replaced by a bright smile as she looked at the boy before her.

"of course!"

"I'll be looking forward to it!"

Next, Shirakawa made another suggestion.

"Xiangzi, if possible, could you record a video of yourself singing this song and post it on your video account?"

"After all, this is a piece of music entirely composed by you. I think it can showcase your skills and also attract people who need composers and arrangers to collaborate with us."

Shoko Toyokawa thought about it for a moment and adopted the other party's suggestion.

"Then it's hard work for you."

After recording the video, Shirakawa went directly to RiNG.

Besides the ideas he had mentioned, he had another idea—to advertise in livehouses.

After all, not every band has someone who can compose and arrange music.

Therefore, he felt that if he could place ads in the livehouse, it would have a good effect.

After all, anyone who plays in a band can be considered a target customer.

To maintain her condition for the afternoon band activities, Shiina Tatsuki did not come to her part-time job in the morning.

So when Shirakawa Sawa got to the second floor, he didn't see her, so he went straight to the store manager, Rinrinko.

The latter said she couldn't make that decision and then called her boss.

After listening to Rinrinko's explanation, the boss immediately refused and stated that the notice board could only be used to post information about bands recruiting members, and was not allowed to advertise for others.

After hitting a wall, Shirakawa Sawa did not give up. He walked towards STARRY's location while asking the livehouses along the way if they were willing to cooperate with him.

Their attitude towards this high school student, whom they had never met before, who immediately wanted to place flyers, was basically the same—rejection.

When he arrived at the STARRY entrance, Shirakawa saw that the door was open, so he pushed it open and went inside.

There was only Ichika Seika in the store, and she was checking the equipment on the stage.

Sensing someone enter, she looked up and nodded when she saw it was Shirakawa Ze.

"Who is Xiaoze looking for?"

Shirakawa gave a polite smile.

"Manager, I'm here today because I need your help with something."

A flicker of surprise crossed Ichiji Seika's eyes, but her expression remained unchanged. She nodded, stood up, clapped her hands, and walked towards the counter.

"What does Xiaoze want from me?"

Shirakawa followed.

"That's right, store manager. I have a friend who is quite good at composing and arranging music."

"So I was wondering if we could put up an advertisement here so that anyone who needs this information can contact us."

With a thoughtful look in her eyes, Ichiji Hoshika poured him a glass of juice and placed it in front of him.

Do I know this friend you're talking about?

Shirakawa shook his head, then continued, his expression serious.

"She hasn't met the store manager yet."

"But please rest assured, I can take full responsibility if any problems arise later."

Ijichi Seika stared at the boy before her, her eyes revealing no emotion.

"Xiaoze, what kind of awareness led you to say those words?"

"Taking responsibility for others, isn't that a bit too much of an overstatement for a high school student?"

To be honest, she felt a little annoyed when she heard the other person say those words.

Because it seems too impulsive.

Although composing and arranging music for others usually doesn't lead to any major problems, at most it might just be a financial dispute.

But she still felt that the other person's tone was too confident, even somewhat arrogant.

She felt this was inappropriate, so she used harsher language, mainly to give the other party a hint so that they wouldn't take responsibility for themselves so easily.

Shirakawa Sawa hadn't expected the question to lead to this point. He paused for a moment, then roughly understood what the other person meant, and explained...

"No, no, because they are indeed very close friends of mine, and we are also classmates and neighbors."

He took out his phone and opened the video he had just recorded.

"The store manager can listen to the song she composed first."

After watching the video, Ijichi Hoshika's expression didn't change; she simply nodded.

What do you want to say on the billboard?

A bright smile immediately bloomed on Shirakawa's face.

"Thank you, store manager!"

Then he wrote the advertising slogan and his contact information on a piece of paper and handed it to the other party.

Ijichi Hoshika took the note, glanced at it, and patted the front of the counter.

"I will put the promotional poster in this spot."

"Advertising fee, 3000 yen per month."

"I hope you don't end up making a losing deal."

Shirakawa thanked him again, then took out three thousand yen and handed it over.

Volume 1: Chapter 168 The other side withdrew a megaphone

After leaving STARRY, Shirakawa returned home and edited together a video of Toyokawa Sho playing and singing.

However, he did not upload the video to the website first, but instead communicated with the system first.

After learning that the lyrics he copied from memory could be instantly entered into the copyright information database through the system, he immediately asked the system to apply for the copyright of the song "The Gentle Place Where We Meet".

After entering the copyright information, he posted the video on a video website and then forwarded it to Ruoye Mutsu.

"Wakaba-kun, this song was composed by Shoko, and it cost 200,000 yen."

What do you think?

After all, he could also get 300,000 of that money.

So, if we're really going to talk about it, the other party is their client.
