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

Before the first class in the afternoon, Shirakawa Sawa and Goto Ichiri left the school and headed to a nearby shopping mall to buy the decorations they needed.

After walking for a while, a person suddenly rushed out from a large cosmetics store next door and blocked their way.

"Meow meow!"

Before the two could even see who it was, a vibrant voice rang in their ears.

"Unfortunately, you've been captured by Meow Dream!"

Only then did Shirakawa Ze get a clear look at the figure in front of him.

This is a young woman with short purple hair and pink eyes. Her already delicate face is further enhanced by exquisite makeup. Her tall figure, paired with a short-sleeved shirt and a short skirt, makes her look very capable and efficient.

It is undoubtedly Yutenji Wakame.

Upon seeing the strange woman who suddenly appeared, Goto Ichiri instinctively tensed up, his entire body in a state of extreme tension. When he saw that the woman was holding a selfie stick and a phone, he immediately lowered his head and avoided her gaze.

Shirakawa glanced at the phone the other person was holding; it was in selfie mode. Considering her identity as a video blogger, she was probably recording video footage.

Seeing that the two had stopped, Yutenji Wakana continued to speak.

"Hey students, Miaomeng is currently conducting a random street interview. Could you please take a little of your time and ask me a few questions related to cosmetics?"

When Shirakawa Sawa saw the other person, an idea for cooperation popped into his mind, but it wasn't appropriate to say such things while standing on the street.

He didn't answer the other person's question, but instead gestured towards his phone with his eyes.

Are you live streaming?

Yutenji Wakana maintained her smile.

"No, honey, the phone is in normal video recording mode right now."

Shirakawa nodded, then took out his phone, showed his number to the other party, and...

“I now have a collaboration plan that can take your blogging career to the next level.”

I will cover the initial costs.

"If you are interested in cooperating, you can leave me your phone number."

"Let's schedule a time to discuss this in detail."

Yutenji Wakana paused the recording on her phone and carefully examined Shirakawa Sawa.

Because the other person was wearing a school uniform, there wasn't much information to glean from their clothing, but their overall demeanor was composed, and their eyes were deep, suggesting they weren't joking.

After hesitating for a moment, she decided to save the other person's phone number, then put on a polite smile.

I'll contact you when I have time.

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"I will wait for you."

After saying that, he and Goto Ichiri continued walking towards the mall.

Yutenji Wakana turned around and watched the other person's departing figure. The smile on her face gradually faded, and a hint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

She pulled up the video on her phone, paused it at the moment Shirakawa stopped, then zoomed in on his face and studied it for a while, her curiosity growing even stronger.

Judging from the other person's demeanor, they must know something about me.

But I have absolutely no recollection of him.

Such a handsome young man, if I had seen him before, I would definitely remember him.

So we never met; it was just the other party who knew about me.

I'm a little curious, what will he want to talk to me about...?

Although I was very curious, I didn't have enough video footage to show.

She temporarily suppressed her emotions, turned her gaze to another passerby walking in her direction, started recording a video, and instantly switched her expression back to her initial energetic self as she went to greet them.

"Meow meow!"

"It's time for Miaomeng's street interview!"

……

After buying the decorations, since some of the larger items were too difficult to carry, Shirakawa Sawa opted for the mall's home delivery service, having a staff member push the shopping cart behind them and deliver the items to the classroom.

By this time, school had been over for some time, and most of the students had left.

The two moved the items from the shopping cart to the area under the podium, then packed up and left.

Because he had a lot of books and other things, Shirakawa went back to put them down first before heading to RiNG.

At this time, Shiina Tatsuki had already started work and was standing behind the counter making coffee.

Shirakawa Sawa walked to the counter, sat down, greeted them, and ordered a glass of orange juice.

"Shiina-kun, have you read the lyrics to Touka-chan's song?"

Shiina Tatsuki hummed in agreement, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes.

"I've read it, it's very well written!"

"I must compose a piece that matches it!"

The boy nodded.

"I came here today because there's something I want to ask you."

“I have a senior colleague who owes me some money. Because she is good at composing, she wanted to pay off the debt by giving me music lessons.”

"But I'm not interested in this myself, so I'm asking if you'd be willing to learn it?"

Shiina Ritsuki paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Doesn't that mean you paid for the teacher for me?"

"That definitely won't work."

Shirakawa Sawa smiled.

"It can also be understood in your way."

"But I'm not saying I'll let you attend classes for free."

"For every lesson you teach, you'll play a piece of music for me for free."

"Of course, I won't knock now. I'll contact you in advance when needed."

"It's like the three of us swapped resources, what do you think?"

Although it felt like the other person was deliberately taking care of her, her words really touched her heart.

After all, it's hard for her to refuse the opportunity to learn the skills she's currently most proficient in in order to improve in the area she most wants to learn.

After thinking for a moment, Shiina Tatsuki held up two fingers, her expression serious.

"I will play two pieces for you for each lesson I teach; otherwise, please forgive me for not being able to accept this condition."

Shirakawa Sawa laughed.

"If I could make double the money for free, I would definitely be willing to do so."

"I'll give you that senior's contact information; you can arrange the time yourselves."

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, saved Yamada Ryo's contact information, and then fell silent.

Shirakawa Ze didn't say anything more, quietly drinking his orange juice and refining the ideas in his mind.

"Buzz"

His phone suddenly vibrated twice.

Upon opening it, I found a message from Yutenji Wakami.

"Hello, I'm Miaomeng. Is now a convenient time for us to meet?"

Volume One: Chapter Eighty Cooperation and Exchange

Upon seeing Yutenji Wakana's message, Shirakawa Sawa replied with a message.

"That's convenient. You choose the location, and I'll come find you."

A few minutes later, the other party sent me the location of a high-end coffee shop.

"I'll be waiting for you in Hall Number Three."

Shirakawa greeted Shiina Tatsuki, then left RiNG and headed to the agreed-upon location.

Upon entering the café, the boy went straight to small room number three and saw that Yutenji Wakana was already inside, so he went over and sat down opposite her.

"Awaited."

The other person gave a polite smile.

"No."

At this moment, the waiter came over, took out a menu, and handed it to Shirakawa.

The boy took the menu but didn't open it. His gaze first fell on the coffee in front of Yutenji Wakana, then moved up to the other person's face.

"Miss Meow Dream, would you like to order anything else?"

The other person maintained a smile on their face.

"Thank you, but I don't need it for now."

Shirakawa nodded, then looked back at the menu and casually ordered a juice.

After the waiter left, the boy looked at the other person.

"Shall we get straight to the point?"

Yutenji Wakana nodded, appearing ready to listen attentively.

"All ears."
