It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who looked miserable in front of him, Ruoye Mu silently hid his inexplicable panic under his calm expression.

"...Ahem, I feel much better now."

Zhonghe Xin coughed twice with force to get rid of the numbness in his throat, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"water."

Suddenly, Xiao Mu picked up two cups of warm water, which were still steaming, from the table next to him and handed them to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

...Sure enough, even though Xiao Mu is a little bit temperamental, he still has such a great character.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki took the cup of water and nodded to Wakaba Mu in front of him with emotion.

"cheers."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki held out the cup of warm water in his hand.

"……cheers?"

Ruoye Mu was stunned and blinked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki. Although he didn't know why he did that, he also followed Nakagawa Nobuyuki's example and stretched out the cup in his hand.

jingle.

The crisp collision sound is quite pleasant to the ear.

After the warm water washed over his tongue and throat and finally slid into his stomach, washing away the excessive sweetness, Nakagawa Nobuyuki breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, I have never felt that plain water is so delicious and so thirst-quenching.

Compared to Nakagawa Nobuyuki who drinks water in a rather ungraceful manner, Xiaomu-san drinks it in a much more elegant way.

With the gurgling sound of drinking water, Ruo Yemu's fair neck moved like a little deer in the forest.

A drop of water the size of a fingertip slid down from the corner of the pink lips, along the naturally fair skin without any makeup, and slid into the collar and disappeared.

"what--"

Ruoye Mu slowly put down the cup of water in his hand, and exhaled gently, imitating Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

...It feels so good. If I make this kind of noise after drinking water at home, I will definitely be severely lectured...

It must be said that humans seem to have this instinct. After drinking a big sip of water, they must exhale deeply and deeply. If they don't exhale in this way, it feels like they didn't drink the water.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki wiped the water from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand in an unsightly and unhygienic manner, then looked at the mango juice again as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Mr. Mu, are you still drinking...?"

Although he felt that it was impossible to drink this thing, out of professional ethics, Nakagawa Nobuyuki still asked Xiaomu in front of him.

"..."

Xiao Mu seemed unable to accept such sweet mango juice and just shook his head slightly.

Feeling that his pancreas might have to work overtime today, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed slightly, and quickly put the cup of [Alchemical Secret Medicine] on the table on the tray and took it away.

...I don't know whether this will be considered as work injury in RiNG.

But as for Starry, the coat that was vomited on can really be considered an industrial injury. Can't you see that he is still living a good life with Hiroi Kikuri?

What a coincidence, I had just finished all these and was about to go chat with Xiaomu, but suddenly a lot of boys and girls with musical instruments came to RiNG, and they all wanted to open the practice room in a surprising way.

After asking, I found out that because it was extremely hot this summer, everyone's air conditioners were turned on all the time. There was a guitar interest class nearby, but due to aging power lines, there was a power outage today. We had no choice but to come to RiNG.

"It feels like there have been a lot of power outages lately?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki spoke casually while issuing tickets.

"That's right. We raised the price once last May. If you charge me more, then do the job properly, you bastard."

The thin middle-aged man with long hair and a group of junior high school students in front of him had an unhappy look on his face and also complained.

"…Okay sir, here's your ticket, just go this way."

After watching the noisy junior high school students go in together, Nakagawa Nobuyuki did not sit idle either. He was busy receiving new guests. He didn't know why the number of customers suddenly increased.

After a while, looking at the RiNG gate that had calmed down again, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was able to sit down again and took the opportunity to rest.

At this point, the sun is already setting, and I don’t know if Starry will have a power outage tonight... If there is a power outage, that would be a bit too much.

Shifting my gaze to the window, I saw that Xiao Mu still hadn't left. He was sitting by the window playing with his mobile phone. He seemed to be swiping some pages, scrolling down.

Ok?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was suddenly drawn back to his attention by the ringing of his cell phone.

There are new followers?

No, why didn’t so many people follow me every day when I wanted to run my own media? I even posted so many [High Cost-Effective Store Exploration] at that time.

…Although they are all small shops where I worked part-time, they are definitely cost-effective, right?

Nakagawa Xin sighed somewhat indignantly before clicking on the interface to add a new follower.

…The name column was actually blank, with only a smiling cucumber as the avatar.

However, this is not a small account. After clicking in, I found that it was registered for a long time. However, like other accounts I have followed recently, it has not posted any tweets. Apart from liking some gardening content, there is nothing else.

Because there was nothing to worry about, Nakagawa Nobuyuki quickly put the matter behind him, and Nakagawa Nobuyuki also encountered something that deserved his attention first.

...That [Neko＆Ume] actually sent me a message?

99

Chapter 99: As insignificant as Sisyphus is, he still has the courage and will to do so.

【Hello, Mr. Sisyphus? 】

[Um, I heard you're forming a band recently, right? ]

【I wonder if you have found a drummer? 】

After clicking the send button, Yutenji Wakamugi's lips curled up into a relaxed smile.

Oh my, Mr. Sisyphus probably couldn't have imagined that the guy who used to rely on watching his videos and eating at various small restaurants to make a living now has so many more fans than him, right?

It's a pity that Mr. Sisyphus no longer posts videos, and just uses Twitter as a diary every day...

It’s still a bit regrettable, because I really liked watching his videos back then.

That's right, Miss N&U, Miss Yutenji Wakamugi, or Miss [Meow Dream], who is happily planning something right now, is now thinking about joining the band that Nobuo Nakagawa is planning to form after seeing his tweet.

In other words, [The Myth of Sisyphus] is a band that is currently being planned.

However, his motive is not as pure as Xiaomu's.

As a new-age internet celebrity, the ability to sniff out market trends is the real basic skill and a compulsory course!

...In short, it's just to get attention.

In today's era of big girl bands, there are quite a few bands that have made the leap from hobby bands to professional bands, and topics related to bands are always very popular wherever they are.

Therefore, although Yutenji Wakamugi claimed that he had "just bought a drum set"... in fact, he had been practicing privately for a long time.

[The talented double-profit hand drummer], it sounds very hot, right?

Not only that, in fact, everyone likes to see other people's unexpected reactions - if you pretend to be a complete novice to join the band, and then play in a show-off manner and film other people's reactions, it will definitely get a lot of views, right?

...However, it’s better not to think about those large-scale commercial bands.

But there is a problem... As a person who graduated from high school a long time ago, Miss Yutenji Wakamugi obviously does not have the unique conditions to form a band like in high school. Even if she is a duo-hand drummer, it is impossible for her to lead a band alone.

It just so happened that at this time, the band that I had been following on my trumpet, The Myth of Sisyphus, actually showed signs of starting a band! For Ms. Miao Meng, who was worried about transitioning, this was like timely help.

The more powerful bands have stable personnel and are unlikely to have major personnel changes, while purely commercial bands from large companies do not trust beauty influencers like Yutenji Wakamaki.

Not only that, it is highly unlikely that you will be able to surprise others with your level of performance.

Therefore, a small band is the best choice - but if you go to a high school kid's pretend band to do this, it might be a bit too much... Therefore, perhaps [The Myth of Sisyphus], a band run by a blogger who works part-time every day, would be more reliable?

Although he often posts things about his seniors in school... However, this blogger doesn't look like a middle school student at all... Maybe he's a college student?

Oh, you replied quickly.

[It is true that we have not found a drummer yet. ]

[You asked this because you want to join a band? ]

[If that's the case, please let me discuss this with the other members of our band.]

It seems like they are moving pretty fast. They already have “other members of the band”, so they are quite proactive.

Yutenji Wakamugi, who was sitting on the sofa, crossed his legs with a smile, hummed an unknown tune, and continued typing.

On the other side, Nakagawa Nobuyuki slid his finger and opened the homepage of N&U. He couldn't help but frown for a moment, looking at the empty homepage that didn't even have any likes or reposts. To be honest, he was still a little worried.

Although my current residence is in Tokyo, this is like a piece of plasticine in the hands of an elementary school student, which can be rolled or flattened at will. Just treat its credibility as zero.

However, as if to dispel Nakagawa Nobuyuki's doubts, N&U soon sent a new message in the chat box. The speed of their messages was so fast that Nakagawa Nobuyuki wondered if they had already prepared a draft.

[I have been watching Mr. Sisyphus's videos for a long time? 】

【Ramen, beef rice, soy sauce fried noodles, etc. 】

[But I still can’t accept the salty crepes~]

This is indeed true... The N&U account has indeed been following me for quite some time. To be honest, there is nothing wrong in saying that they are my old fan.

Could it be that this person really just wants to join the band for fun?

Nakagawa Nobuyuki's brain instinctively felt that something was not right, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't seem to find any logical problems.

But forget it, it’s better not to think about it than to figure it out. Anyway, since this N&U with an unknown identity wants to join the band, the worst that can happen is to invite RiNG to come... just treat it as a test to join the team.

If you are really lucky and find a very talented drummer out of nowhere, that would be the best. But if you are just an ordinary fan, you can use this assessment to discourage him.

Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki pursed his lips, pondered for a while, and felt that the feasibility was still quite high, so he simply told N&U on the opposite side that since they wanted to join, they could make another convenient time for the band assessment.

Alas, why didn’t I have such die-hard fans when I was still a host, but only had them after I quit... Maybe, I am actually the Van Gogh of the host world.

As he was thinking this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed slightly, looked at the sky outside the window which was getting darker, and became bored and dazed.

There is also a Newton's cradle on the counter of RiNG. I wonder if this kind of livehouse will have this thing for the staff to pass the time.

Ding, ding, ding...

The balls on Newton's cradle collided with each other.

I don’t know how the two bands are rehearsing. I have to sit here alone to take over... This makes Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who has been hanging out with everyone recently, feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

To be honest, it feels a bit like when I was working part-time, sitting behind the counter and daydreaming alone.

Staring at the Newton's crescent with a lone ball bumping back and forth in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed lightly, shook his head, reached out to stop the Newton's crescent, and gently moved a few small balls together, letting them bump back and forth together.

It looks much more comfortable now.

"He looks like he's sighing... Being a shop assistant is just that tiring, is it that tiring?"

Shiina Riki slapped the thick composition book in his hand in front of Nakagawa Nobuyuki, crossed his arms, raised his eyebrows slightly, looked down at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was lying on the counter with a look of emotion on his face, and said something mercilessly.

"Hey, Shiina, you'll understand when you get to my age."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki raised his head and sighed with an old-fashioned look.

"Don't make yourself sound like an old man."

Shiina Riki seemed a little unhappy and had no intention of responding. He just replied indifferently, picked up the ballpoint pen that Nakagawa Nobuyuki had just been turning from the pen holder in front of him, pulled out a seat to the side, and the two of them sat together.

"Finished practicing?"

After stopping Newton's cradle casually, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sat up and asked Shiina Riki, who still had sweat on his forehead and a slightly red face.

"Let's try to string it together..."

Shiina Riki folded his arms, leaned forward slightly, put his center of gravity on the table, frowned slightly, and sighed lightly for some reason, looking like he was worried about a lot.

“Is there something wrong with Aine?”

Nakagawa Nobuyuki straightened himself, raised his eyes and asked casually.

I opened the composition book that was bulging with a bunch of sticky notes in front of it, and sighed slightly.

Sure enough, letting Shiina teach this is indeed a more correct choice. Just from this thing, we can see that Shiina Riki is really too serious in this area.

“…It’s not her problem.”

Shiina Riki's heart sank. He bit his lip and shook his head gently, his expression becoming even heavier.
