Tokyo: Idol Girls have absolutely no bad intentions!

Asada Sakura was somewhat at a loss.

I want to answer that we're not in that kind of relationship, but I also want tickets to Billboard Live Tokyo.

That place is a venue that combines a live house and a restaurant, and artists from all over the world are proud to appear on its billboards.

"Okay, then we'll use this instead."

While Asada Sakura hesitated, Ito Yujin snatched the ticket from Hayakawa Miki's hand and pulled Asada Sakura away.

"Hey, Xiaoyou~ you're still too young."

Hayakawa Miki shook her head helplessly, then took out a cigarette from somewhere, watched their departing figures, and slowly took a drag.

Suddenly, she frowned. "Wait, you haven't finished making my dinner yet. You should have packed it up for me, since the S seat tickets are quite expensive."

Meanwhile, the phone, which was placed with the dirty clothes, kept ringing.

Chapter 8: One of the Secret Lessons to Becoming an Idol

As he was pulling Asada Sakura towards the subway, Ito Yuujin stopped in his tracks, causing Asada Sakura to bump into him.

"what happened?"

Asada Sakura rubbed her head, which was sore from the bump, and looked at Ito Yuujin with a puzzled expression.

He had just examined the ticket closely, and it clearly stated that it was for movie viewing only.

That means the ticket only gets you in, but it's a place that combines a livehouse and a show. Usually, buying an S seat ticket on eplus already includes a meal.

Seat S at the very front of the stage not only represents the best viewing experience, but also means that ordering food on-site will incur a 10% higher service charge compared to other seats.

That ticket discount thing is a complete trap, that guy.

Clutching the ticket tightly in his hand, Yuujin Ito just wanted to go back right now and empty Miki Hayakawa's wallet.

He should have realized it sooner; given that guy's character, he must have somehow gotten hold of two unusual tickets.

I never actually planned to go, which is why I handed it over so easily.

Damn it, that cunning guy. He uses all his tricks on those clueless male high school kids.

Thinking about the balance in my account, I couldn't help but shudder.

He could sit there and watch the performance quietly without ordering anything, but it's unclear whether Asada Sakura would be willing to do so.

After a hard night's work without a drop of water, they were forced to watch a performance that lasted for more than an hour.

That's good.

Yuujin Ito turned to look at Sakura Asada. His expression was serious, which made Sakura Asada tense up as well.

"I'm going to teach you the key lesson to becoming an idol later."

"what?"

......

I was led by a waiter to my seat in seat S. It was a great spot, right in front of the stage, only 5 meters away.

The floor is covered with sound-absorbing carpet and is separated from the regular seating area by gold partitions.

Regular seats require a 20-minute wait, while S seats allow entry 30 minutes earlier via a private entrance.

This is so that you can order in advance and keep track of when your food is served. For others, it's incredibly thoughtful, since there's a dedicated server to guide and explain everything.

But if it were a penniless duo of discounted bento box vendors, with pockets emptier than their faces, it would be a different story.

Yujin Ito, who calmly declined all food and came to enjoy the music, felt that arriving early was the best service.

If you want to make a purchase, the already high prices plus the service fee are really unaffordable.

Fortunately, the waiter was very polite and did not do anything disrespectful. He handed over the noise-canceling headphones and program and then left.

All the people in the S seats had already been served their food, and the aroma of charred steak and the bitterness of freshly ground coffee wafted towards Ito Yujin and Asada Sakura from time to time, tantalizing their taste buds.

"So what is the key lesson for becoming an idol?"

"You've already learned it."

Seeing that Asada Sakura didn't care about spending any money, Ito Yuujin was very satisfied.

He was worried that if the girl felt embarrassed or ashamed, he would teach her the first lesson: being thick-skinned is a basic quality of an idol.

But now I realize it was unnecessary. I didn't need to worry at all. This guy was calm and collected, just like he was at home, without any discomfort whatsoever.

And she wouldn't ask me to pay for the expensive meal; it seems like people who eat discounted lunches are all good people.

But this child is a bit too frugal. Although transportation costs in Japan are indeed high, she actually had the idea of ​​fare evasion, which is even more extreme than my own.

"Oh, right, I uploaded the video to YouTube." Yuujin Ito said, handing his phone to Sakura Asada, whose profile page was displayed on the phone.

Asada Sakura took the phone from Ito Yuujin and looked at the user name "Sakura Bento," her eyes becoming somewhat strange.

There was only one video on the homepage. She tapped it with her finger, put on her headphones, and listened carefully.

She hasn't seen the video yet, since she fell asleep while it was being edited.

As the video played, a light and cheerful melody began, and fair hands nimbly tapped the guitar.

As she watched the dappled sunlight fall on her, singing "I Want to Be Cute," her youthful energy captivated Asada Sakura, leaving her slightly stunned.

Is this... really me? She couldn't help but wonder. How adorable!

Thinking of this, she secretly glanced at Ito Yuujin, who was looking at the program schedule. What a lucky guy to be my partner. But the songs he writes are indeed quite good.

Even after the video ended, she was still somewhat engrossed, listening to the comments while scrolling through them, occasionally letting out a silly grin.

[Original work? Wow, sweet girls are the best!]

[So cute!!!]

But the more she flipped through it, the more she felt something was wrong, and her eyebrows involuntarily furrowed and her lips pursed.

Although it's very sweet, it somehow feels a bit lacking in intelligence.

[Has a strong aura of flat-chestedness]

Slander! She was the smartest person in the world, and besides... she secretly glanced at herself; she was still quite full-figured, just a little less so than someone else.

Asada Sakura thought of Hayakawa Miki, the older sister whose every move was a crime; she was completely abnormal.

These comments were relatively normal, but what followed was completely off-putting.

[I never used to pay much attention to my appearance. I never combed my hair in the morning, or I would just randomly grab it with my hands. After hearing this, I thought about it carefully. I have someone I like, and I want to become cute for him. That's right, I'm going to put on beautiful makeup every day, wear all kinds of cute accessories, dress up in women's clothes, and wear a wig. Now I'm going to call the person I like my sister.]

After I recommended this song to my boyfriend, he started acting strangely, always sneaking around my cosmetics and clothes.

I want to be cute too, but my girlfriend won't let me shave my leg hair.

Wow, is this song really that powerful? It even has the power to create a version of Him?

However, considering how Yujin Ito sang this song, using a falsetto and desperately trying to sound cute.

"Pfft."

She couldn't help but chuckle softly again.

"what happened?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of something happy."

Yuujin Ito found it strange. He had also looked at the data, and the changes in the popularity value on the system panel proved that the song had not caused much of a stir.

Even with the support of top streamers, as a completely new account, the current number of views is just over a thousand, but the retention rate and number of likes are extremely good.

The CTR (views/impressions) is also excellent; after all, who would miss a pure and beautiful 32k girl who can play guitar and sing original songs?

[Target: Asada Sakuri]

Popularity score: 850 (determined by factors such as number of fans, popularity, and fame)

[Development Goal: To cultivate nationally recognized idols with both singing and dancing skills]

[Abilities: Dance E, Vocal C, Learning D]

[Resilience: B+]

[Current assessment: An unfortunate, unknown girl]

[Release your first original song on an online platform to receive the reward "God's Flow" and unlock the shop system.]

That's right, with the release of the song, the panel for Asada Sakura has also changed, with popularity replacing affection level.

And that shop system completely treats him like a Japanese person.

For example, it takes 5000 popularity points to check the 3-second favorability rating, and all kinds of basic abilities and skills require at least 5000 popularity points, not to mention higher abilities. Even checking Asada Sakura's other attributes requires an absurdly high number of popularity points.

The items were plentiful, but not all of them were useful; however, they were indeed very expensive.

Searching for Asada Sakura's specific dates requires 13000 popularity points, which is simply out of the ordinary.

However, it also has its merits, with super low discounts every week, making it a dream come true for those who only spend a little money.

This week's offer is a 5-minute master bass experience card.

Yuujin Ito is currently very worried because the store doesn't offer a direct exchange of popularity points for money, meaning that his income now relies solely on YouTube video revenue.

"Asada-san."

"Ah."

Asada Sakura looked up and met Ito Yuujin's eyes in the soft light.

You must grow up quickly!

"Ok?"

What does it mean to grow up? Does he also feel that he is too young?

They were just strangers who knew each other's names, and after spending one night together, they revealed their true nature?

He's definitely someone who likes to dress boldly.

Asada Sakura's eyes turned dangerous. She realized she had been too careless and hadn't been on guard.

Just then, the spotlight on the stage suddenly turned on, and the secondary spotlight directly above the S seat was also turned on. The musicians' performance time had arrived.
