He actually said to the girl's face that her chest was too tight, even though Deng's figure looked pretty good.

Sakagami Taku was speechless: "I was talking about the chest and throat of the voice, not that her clothes were too tight."

12. For money, social death is nothing!

Although he knew that Sakagami Taku didn't mean that, Takamatsu Deng still subconsciously covered his chest.

However, even with Sakagami Taku's guidance, Takamatsu Touma still couldn't speak so easily.

In the end, Shoko Toyokawa decided to end the practice for the day. When leaving, since it was almost evening, she simply invited everyone to have a meal in the restaurant they entered.

This made Taku Sakagami sigh that it was great to be rich.

Compared to the others' euphemisms, the straightforward Shiina Ritsuki asked Toyokawa Shoko directly during the meal: "The lead singer is the face of the band, right? Why do you want her to come?"

She was invited to join the band.

Originally, Shiina Riki wanted to be like a normal band, starting from the initial running-in and then gradually improving the level through practice. But now it seems that it is no longer a problem of practice. The lead singer can't even sing, so how can he practice?

After an afternoon of practice, she had already realized that it was not that Gao Songdeng couldn't sing, but that he was afraid to open his mouth. With this kind of personality, he was not suitable to be the lead singer of a band.

If I want to form a band in the future, this won't work.

At present, there is no problem with the other members. In fact, the joining of Taku Sakagami can raise the rating of this band to a higher level. In the afternoon, Taku Sakagami's rhythm guitar has perfectly proved his strength.

She was even looking forward to performing with Taku Sakagami.

Nagasaki Suyo quickly tried to smooth things over: "Well, just like Taku-san said, these things can't be done in one day. There's always a way if we take it slow. Right, Taku-san?"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Taku Sakagami, hoping that he could ease the atmosphere appropriately. However, she only saw Taku Sakagami who was eating and showing off, which even made Nagasaki Suyo feel that Taku Sakagami seemed to be on a different channel from them.

Upon hearing this, Sakagami Taku gave a thumbs-up despite his busy schedule: "That's right."

He hurriedly swallowed the dessert in his mouth. If he didn't eat more now, he would have to spend money on food when he got back. Besides, he didn't even have to wait for the supermarket discount at 8:30 pm tonight. He could work for a while longer than he had in a long time!

Everyone looked at him like this and felt that his words were a little unconvincing.

However, as a man of great professional ethics, Sakagami Taku wiped his mouth and thought about this problem seriously: "Well, this is indeed a problem, but these things cannot be forced. If you need any guidance in singing, or teaching any instrument, you can ask me for help. I don't mind."

As he spoke, he looked at Gao Songdeng: "But before that, let me ask you, Mr. Deng, you don't hate these things, do you?"

Facing Sakagami Taku's gaze, Takamatsu Deng stared at him a little longer this time than before. She lowered her head and nodded slightly: "...Hmm."

Although she had difficulty singing in the afternoon, the atmosphere in the whole team was not depressing, and she did not hate this feeling.

"That's fine. We can slowly improve things later. It's not just Deng's singing that's a problem, but also everyone's collaboration. Today is only our first day together, so we can't be as familiar with each other as an established band. Getting to know each other better is more important than collaboration."

Everyone present more or less agreed with what Sakagami Taku said, and Shiina Riki temporarily gave up asking further questions.

Indeed, they formed the band on the first day, and with Taku Sakagami there, there was no need to pursue success so eagerly.

Seeing that the matter was resolved, Sakagami Taku looked at Toyokawa Shoko and said, "Also, Mr. Shoko, can I have another bowl of barbecue rice?"

Toyokawa Shoko certainly had no objection to this, and even felt that it was great that she could recruit Sakagami Taku. She smiled and said:

"No problem at all."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt that if she gave Sakagami Taku food, he would be willing to do anything.

She silently remembered this incident. If she encountered any problems in the future, she thought she could ask classmate Tuo for help with food.

----------------------

After a bowl of rice and a bunch of desserts, Sakagami Takumi felt full for the first time in his life.

Because he needed to get the contract, he left with Shoko Toyokawa.

And Toyokawa Shoko happened to be going the same way as Takamatsu Tomo, so the three of them went together.

It was not until they reached the overpass that they parted ways.

The three of them walked in silence. When they were about to part ways, the silent Takamatsu Deng finally took advantage of the quiet night and couldn't help but ask Toyokawa Shoko, "Why me?"

At first she thought the other party just wanted her notebook, but she didn't expect that he would invite her to be the lead singer.

As a nobody in the school, Takamatsu Deng didn't understand what attracted the other person to him.

In response to Takamatsu Tomo's question, Toyokawa Shoko smoothed her long blue hair that had been blown by the wind, and then said softly, "Because you wrote the lyrics, it would definitely be better if the author himself sang it."

Takamatsu Deng made a cute puzzled sound, obviously not quite understanding what it meant.

Seeing this, Sakagami Taku realized that Takamatsu Touma was still a little short of guidance.

He didn't want the lead singer to run away before his beautiful girl band plan even started.

It seems that we need to give Takamatsu Deng some life-saving chicken soup, and at the same time help the boss save his employees.

If the Toyokawa Group issues year-end bonuses in the future, Sakagami Taku feels that he would be eligible to receive a "Best Cow Horse" medal.

He leaned on the railing of the overpass and continued, "Has Deng ever been exposed to music before?"

Gao Songdeng shook his head and said in a small voice, "I've heard the songs, but I've never been in contact with the band."

Sakagami Taku explained, "Music is the whisper of the soul, the poetry of the heart. It can penetrate the barriers of the mind and convey the inner emotions. Your lyrics are very personal, and I think they carry many emotions that you want to convey, and these emotions are generated by your life experiences and thoughts."

At this point, Sakagami Taku smiled and said, "Mr. Deng, these emotions that I want to convey can only be conveyed clearly and explicitly by you as the author. No one else can do that."

Am I the only one...?

Gao Songdeng seemed to understand something vaguely.

Toyokawa Shoko also followed up, "That's right, your lyrics are the cry of your heart."

As she spoke, Toyokawa Shoko suddenly took a deep breath and shouted towards the overpass: "I want to be a human!!!!"

However, her action immediately made Sakagami Taku's eyes widen, and he felt that he had met a real person.

As expected of the group's eldest daughter, she could do such a socially embarrassing thing as casually as eating and drinking water.

He silently took a few steps away from Toyokawa Shoko.

Even Gao Songdeng was startled by her open behavior, and his voice became a little louder: "Hey, Xiao, Xiaoxiang!?"

After she finished shouting, Toyokawa Shoko didn't think there was anything wrong. She gasped slightly, then looked at Gao Songdeng and said with a smile: "You can shout whatever you want here. Come on, let's shout together."

As she spoke, she looked at Sakagami Taku who was standing aside. The latter immediately moved away to avoid her sight, but in the end he still could not escape the clutches of fate.

Finally, Toyokawa Shoko stretched out her evil hand and grabbed Sakagami Taku: "Takuya, shout too."

Sometimes, when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

Damn it, for the sake of money, the worst that can happen is that it explodes!

13. I was Spider-Man last night. This is the reward from the police.

After howling like a ghost for a few times on the overpass, Taku Sakagami finally took the yen and contract handed to him by Shoko Toyokawa. For the first time, Taku Sakagami felt that selling his body for money could be such a satisfying thing.

As expected, if you want money, face and body, you can only choose two out of the three, or you can choose none of them.

He took out some of the money to return to Sister Xingge, and Sakagami Taku kept the remaining two thousand yen for his own use. His self-media account would have to pay salaries soon, so Sakagami Taku would keep some money for then.

If there is no problem with Toyokawa Shoko's band, he plans to wait until his position is fixed and then reluctantly buy a musical instrument.

Over the next week, whenever everyone was free, Shoko Toyokawa would gather everyone together for rehearsal. They gradually became familiar with each other and started calling each other by name instead of adding "classmates". They also created a chat group.

During this process, Takuya Sakagami tried to teach Takamatsu the pronunciation techniques.

The other team members were also curious and learned some of it as well.

Taku Sakagami discovered that the singing voices of these beautiful girls were surprisingly good.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo's voice is ridiculously pinched, her high notes are really impeccable. After all, her normal speaking voices are all high notes. She is truly gifted!

Looking at it this way, he might even consider using some band songs sung by multiple people.

He proposed this idea to everyone, but everyone was just looking forward to it, after all, the issue of the lead singer had not been resolved yet.

Takamatsu Deng's 'desensitization training' did not go very smoothly. Although she could make sounds now, she could not sing at all. On the contrary, after practicing every day, when they walked back to the overpass together, she could sing and even roared a few times like Toyokawa Shoko.

Takuya Sakagami is only willing to do this kind of social death challenge when Shoko Toyokawa slaps yen in his face. It can be imagined that Deng Takamatsu is also a social monster.

That day, after a week of no progress, Shiina Riki finally couldn't help herself. Listening to Takamatsu Touma's voice, which was almost like reading from a script and was so quiet that it was almost inaudible, she bluntly asked, "I say, do you really want to sing?"

Nagasaki Suyo softened her tone, "Ritsuki, the fact that she can make a sound is already a big improvement."

Everyone here has their own ideas about joining the band. For Nagasaki Suyo, she enjoys the atmosphere here more.

Even Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised that Takamatsu Touma couldn't sing freely: "I had already sung it before on the overpass."

Shiina Riki was a little confused: "Overpass?"

"Well, when we leave tonight, I'll continue teaching Deng there for a while." Sakagami Taku asked Takamatsu Deng, "Are you too nervous here?"

Every time they parted at night, Sakagami Taku felt that Toyokawa Shoko's social death behavior was more difficult than singing in the recording studio, so he guessed that the atmosphere in the recording studio was too formal, which made Takamatsu Deng dare not make a sound to destroy such an environment.

In response to Sakagami Taku's question, Takamatsu Deng nodded slightly: "Yeah."

Sakagami Taku touched his chin and said, "In that case, how about trying karaoke?"

Hearing Sakagami Taku's proposal, Nagasaki Suyo raised her hand and said, "I agree."

There was no other way at the moment, so Shiina Riki and others simply agreed.

It's not that she hates Takamatsu Deng, but it's just a complete waste of everyone's time if she can't sing like this.

Having made up their minds, the group immediately set off for the karaoke bar.

Along the way, Shoko Toyokawa, the first person to visit here, had curiosity written all over his face.

As the real eldest daughter of the group, she has never been exposed to these things. If she wants to sing, her family can make a private karaoke for her.

Since it was Taku Sakagami who suggested it, he went directly to the front desk to book a private room.

However, as people who had been here before, Tatsuki Shiina and Motoyo Nagasaki also walked to Taku Sakagami's side and planned to discuss what private room package to order together.

Shiina Riki looked at Sakagami Taku's hand as he took out his wallet and said bluntly, "Do you have money to rent a private room?"

Shiina Riki, who knows this working god well, knows that his wallet is either empty or has only a few coins that are not enough to buy even a loaf of bread.

Sakagami Taku: “…”

Do you think my boss Xiangzi paid me 1,000 yen for my work?

Sakagami Taku immediately took out the 3,000 yen he had just earned from his wallet and said, "A private room for six people, three hours."

"Huh?" This time it was Shiina Riki who was surprised.

As a famous working soldier and a poor man, it is common knowledge that Taku Sakagami never carries money in his pockets.

But now, he actually took out 3,000 yen at one time!

She looked at Sakagami Taku, her tone showing some worry for the first time, her eyes concerned: "You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

Is there still some trust between people, Miss Lixi?

Sakagami Taku: "To be honest, I went to be Spider-Man last night. This is the reward given to me by the police."

Nagasaki Suyo asked innocently, "What Spider-Man?"

"He's talking nonsense." Shiina Riki saw that Sakagami Taku didn't intend to explain, so he didn't ask any more questions. "Let's pay for the expenses together. Xiangzi paid for the recording studio during this period. It's definitely not okay to keep doing this."

"Yes, how can we let Taku-san bear it all alone? Besides, Taku-san has always been very frugal. I think this money can be used in more needed places."

The two of them took out their wallets together to discuss the stall, and Sakagami Taku did not refuse.

Oh, what a group of kind-hearted beautiful girls.

Although Li Xi's words are sometimes a bit sarcastic, he is generally a tsundere.

However, while the three of them were chatting, Sakagami Taku heard Toyokawa Shoko calling him: "Taku, are there any drinks here?"

He turned his head and saw Toyokawa Shoko standing in front of the automatic beverage machine, looking around like a humanoid.

She was a little distressed: "But how do I use this?"

Shoko Toyokawa looked at the machine stupidly, not knowing how to make it flow out the liquid.

"Don't you have a coffee maker or something at home?"
