Gravity Girl Shining

"The time for the LIVE has been confirmed. It will be on the evening of May 31st, and will last for half an hour."

At the end, Shiina Riki added another sentence.

“We were the fifth band to come on stage.”

"Isn't this a warm-up?"

Uehara Hibiki was a little surprised. According to convention, bands performing their first LIVE would be arranged to perform at the front as warm-up. After all, no one knew what their true level was. Even if they made mistakes at the beginning, there would be strong bands behind them to take over, and fans would endure and stay until the end.

But if the performance falters in the middle of the show, the experience will plummet. Fans of the first few bands might just leave and stop looking forward to the rest of the show.

They were directly arranged to be the fifth place. Miss Rinrinko and the others are really confident in themselves.

But it's true, myself, Lixi and Lenai are all minor celebrities in RING, and the fact that we are trusted this time is the result of our previous performance.

As if thinking the same thing, Nagasaki Motoyo also frowned. If they were the opening band, a failed performance wouldn't be a serious consequence; she could even hope for something unexpected. But being assigned to the backstage, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but think of Uehara Hibiki's efforts. If the performance failed, it would be a huge blow to him.

Nagasaki Motoyo would never do something that would blatantly harm others. After all, she just wanted to reorganize Crychic, and she had no ill will towards Uehara Hibiki himself.

Even though she subjectively wanted to disband the band, Nagasaki Suyo's words and actions always protected it.

After all, I am also a member of MyGo.

"Since we are trusted, we must work harder."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't dare to look at Uehara Hibiki. She just stiffly expressed her feelings.

"Of course."

Shiina Riki still has the mindset of a hard-working person, but when it comes to performing.

“The show is half an hour long, and if we have to play four songs, including the MC’s time, it might be too crowded.”

"That's true, and Deng's physical strength is also a big problem."

Uehara Hibiki fell into deep thought. Takamatsu Teru was undoubtedly a genius, but she had never undergone professional training, and physical strength had always been her weakness. In the Haneda Running Women's Competition, Teru was defeated repeatedly, and when he arrested her on the spot, he was always panting.

Moreover, Deng’s singing style is really hard-working, which can be seen during practice.

The ultimate emotion arouses resonance from the whole body and leaves no room for any other emotion.

Hearing his own question, Takamatsu Deng tugged at Uehara Hibiki's sleeve with some uneasiness. Then, amidst the envious and jealous gazes from someone, Uehara Hibiki quickly patted his head and started to coax him.

"It's not Deng's fault. Physical strength can be developed slowly. This time it's really a matter of time. It's better to play three songs."

In other words, choose three out of four.

Nagasaki Suyo's eyes lit up and she spoke first.

"In that case, remove Kasuga Shadow and only play the remaining three..."

"Huh? Why did you remove the Kasuga Shadow?"

Chihaya Aine was getting anxious. Although she knew that there were still four weeks of practice, the one she was most proficient in and confident in was the Kasuga Shadow, and she felt uneasy about giving it up.

"Because Kasuga Kage isn't us after all..."

No longer caring about Chihaya Aine's feelings, Nagasaki Suyo acted contrary to her usual behavior and insisted on her own opinion.

I have already taken a step back. At least, I will not play the Kasuga Shadow that does not belong to Crychic in public.

This was her last stand.

"You can't be still obsessed with that fellow Xiangzi, can you?"

Shiina Riki interrupted Nagasaki Suyo's explanation. This reason didn't work for her.

"Forget it, forget it. This issue doesn't need to be decided now."

Uehara Hibiki quickly interrupted Riki's attack and started to talk.

"Bitian Banzou hasn't been finished yet. Once it's all finished, we'll arrange all four songs and see which three work best."

"That's pretty much it."

Looking at Shiina Tateki who clasped his arms and called off the battle, Uehara Hibiki winked at Nagasaki Suyo.

"Sorry, don't take it personally. That's just Riki's personality. And you don't have to worry. I know what's wrong with Kasuga Kage."

Indeed, Kasuga Shadow is the work of Toyokawa Shoko.

As part of her desensitization treatment, Uehara Hibiki would sing Kasuga Kage to her next door whenever she had nothing to do. But given her face-conscious personality, singing it casually at home was fine, but performing it at a live performance was another matter entirely.

Hibiki Uehara did plan to invite Shoko Toyokawa to watch his LIVE performance. The knot in Crychic's heart will be untied sooner or later.

We have always been like enemies, not interacting with each other, and it is not a big deal after all.

After all, you will all become my harem in the future, so we should live in peace with each other.

After receiving Uehara Hibiki's promise, Nagasaki Suyo calmed down temporarily. But in her heart, she still couldn't bear the fact that Shiina Ritsuki was so dismissive of Kasuga Kage and her significance to everyone in Crychic.

It's such an important song, Lixi, have you really betrayed me completely?

"By the way, I have a question!"

At the critical moment, it was the invincible Chihaya Aine who broke the slightly heavy atmosphere.

“If we want to hold a live show, how many tickets do we need to sell?”

Seeing everyone's strange looks, Chihaya Aine, who thought she had a handle on the topic, suddenly felt uneasy.

"Huh? I heard that bands are responsible for selling tickets? Isn't that right?"

"Ain, we're not a professional band yet, so RING won't charge any fees."

In the end, it was the lamp that solved her doubts.

How should I put it, Chihaya Aine, you were really buried in your studies in junior high school and have lost touch with the era of big girl bands.

Even Uehara Hibiki, a time traveler, had a rough idea of ​​the lucrative benefits of this era of big girl bands after spending a month in RING.

As long as you don't pursue professionalism and don't sign a formal commercial contract, major live houses will have various preferential policies waiting for you to encourage you to perform on stage.

Although there is no income, the expenses will be cut accordingly.

Let alone a proper band performance, even if it's just one person reciting poetry on stage for half an hour, talking about ticket prices would be too hurtful.

"If RING has a live show every day, won't they lose money every day?"

After hearing the explanations from Tou and Hibiki, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but be shocked.

In response to this, Nagasaki Suyo, who had recovered from her shock, patiently explained and continued to fulfill her duties as the band's mother.

"Ain, although the LIVE performances are free, the practice room rental and instrument upgrades are the main expenses of the band's activities. Also, the surrounding food and beverage expenses are part of the income."

After saying that, Nagasaki Suyo elegantly raised the black tea. Although it is easy to be overlooked, drinking tea and eating desserts every day also costs money.

Uehara Hibiki agreed with this. He was now working as a mercenary every day just to save money to support his family. After all, he wanted everyone to take charge of their lives. He also glanced at Li Xi. As someone who worked at the RING Cafe, she must be aware of the terrifying customer flow here and the consumption level of the menu.

Damn it, it's decided. Every time you drink a cup of tea, the next time you'll be teased twice as much. Let Shiina Riki pay for the loss of your wallet with her body.

"I don't understand. Never mind. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us."

Chihaya Aine quickly gave up thinking and turned the topic to something that interested her more.

"It's the last day of Golden Week, and we're having a group activity at MyGo. Where should we go? Everyone, feel free to share your thoughts!"

"Sure enough, this is a topic that interests you. If it were you, I'd better practice."

Shiina Riki still prioritizes intensity and wants to take everyone to the practice room every day.

"Forget it, forget it. It's a rare Golden Week, and we're all band mates, so it's necessary to have some fun and bond."

Uehara Hibiki stopped Shiina Riki's horrible thoughts and turned the topic back to Aine.

"Then let's go to KTV?"

Thinking of her glorious victory against Uehara Hibiki yesterday, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but want to have another go.

"KTV is a bit of a waste, isn't it? After all, I can go there anytime. During the holidays, I still hope to go to places I don't go to on weekdays."

Although Nagasaki Suyo said this, in fact, she was thinking about her time in Crychic.

Life is full of memories, so KTV is also prohibited.

Her proposal was rejected, and Chihaya Aine looked at Uehara Hibiki.

"I won't speak first, lest everyone agree with me."

"The lamp?"

"I don't care. I'll go wherever Hibiki goes."

No, for group activities, of course we go together and we won’t separate.

Chihaya Aine complained while looking at Kaname Rakuna without any hope.

"Matcha parfait?"

Very good, please shut up, cat.

"Is there anywhere Sushi-san would like to go?"

"See a movie?"

Nagasaki Suyo chose the activity that would save the most energy without hesitation. The last time she went shopping with Aine, she had deeply understood the difference in their physical strength. It was really troublesome.

As an invisible homebody, she hates traveling far away.

"Huh? We can't talk while watching a movie. It won't feel like a group activity."

Chihaya Aine still prefers more active projects, but looking at the silent crowd, she feels an atmosphere that is completely different from her previous circle of friends.

Everyone is so lazy and not interested in socializing at all.

"Going to Disneyland?"

"That's not enough time. After all, considering my work schedule, I only have one morning free."

"seaside?"

"It's only the beginning of May, it's not a good time to go in the water."

"Go hiking?"

"No, it makes me tired just hearing that."

As her series of proposals were rejected, Chihaya Aine slumped down on the table in frustration.

"Xiang, say something too!"

As the initiator of the project, Uehara Hibiki naturally had many proposals. However, he did notice someone's mood.

"Lixi, do you have any other plans?"

"Huh? Her mind is full of practice, what ideas can she have?"

Chihaya Aine complained. Indeed, Shiina Riki had been looking impatient just now and seemed to be not very interested in the event.

But Uehara Hibiki was very clear that as the first person to know about the event, Shiina Riki did plan something.

It's just that she was a little embarrassed to say it out loud.

So, encouraged by Uehara Hibiki's eyes, Shiina Riki opened his mobile phone and pretended to have accidentally searched for the promotional page that he had prepared long ago.

"How's the zoo? There are lions, elephants, zebras, and pandas. They're very cute."

Although his previous words were calm, when he talked about pandas, the trembling in Lixi's voice could no longer be hidden.

What's more, when Uehara Hibiki opened the group chat, Shiina Riki's avatar was a panda.

Well, it would be fine if you just made the suggestion directly, why go around in circles and pretend that you don't care?

"Hahaha, it feels good, what do you think?"

Chihaya Aine was amused by Shiina Riki's attempt to cover up her mistake, and besides, the zoo was indeed a good choice.

"Zoo? That's fine. After all, the route is fixed and won't be too tiring."

Nagasaki Suyo glanced at Shiina Tatsuki, who was looking expectant.

Even though she was the one who betrayed Crychic, but...it's a rare holiday, so let her be happy.

Today is also a day when Nagasaki Suyo is tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
