I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

"What's with that expression on your face? You seem to be in a good mood."

Ijichi Hoshige, who came out of the shower after her, was drying her hair and looking at her suspiciously.

"hey-hey."

Ichichi Hongxia chuckled and didn't answer her question.

According to the salary her elder sister paid her, it would take her ten days of hard work to earn 20,000 yen.

Now you can get it just by being a camera and quietly watching the text game, which is really a good deal.

As for the content, well, I've already said it's a virtual scene, so it's not important at all.

……

"So, your broken system is forcing me to be a scumbag?"

While Archangel Hongxia was enjoying the joy of the harvest, Ito Rin was completely confused.

Why do you have to force him to be a scumbag?

"I really just want to be a normal high school student."

"Go to school and work as usual every day, grind for rewards on the simulator at night, and drink milk and go to bed at 10 o'clock. Isn't this too much to ask?"

[This system does not force you to be a scumbag]

[It is the host's amazing wisdom that prompted you to make such a crazy move]

"Just hand over the reward to me honestly, and I won't have to play multiple games."

[Proceed step by step. This is a principle that all girls know when pursuing them in simulations. Why are you pretending not to understand it now? Isn't it better to just grind your way through it properly?]

"Hmph, I can't relax against a malicious system like yours. Besides, time is money. If I can get two rewards in one simulation, it's like picking up money."

【you are vicious! 】

Ito Rin's expression was satisfied.

"It's mainly because your credit standing with me is low. The loading time is sixteen years, and the options are more crappy than the last. Who knows if it will suddenly disappear."

"While we are still here, we should seize the opportunity to make the most of it."

"After the digitization, my physical strength is frighteningly weak. No wonder even Yamada Ryo can teach me a lesson. Moreover, my intelligence and charm are not even at full value. There are still so many points I can improve. How can I make progress step by step?"

"Capturing one beautiful girl is one reward, two is two. If I could capture ten at once, wouldn't my progress skyrocket?"

"Time is money, my friend."

【…】

[Host, for your safety, this system sincerely suggests that two boats is the limit for humans. If there are more people, the consequences will be disastrous.]

"It's ok."

【? ? ? 】

"Actually, I'm an octopus. I can handle eight boats with ease."

[Host, I strongly recommend you to increase your physical strength]

"Do I need to tell you that? But you don't give me a reward."

Ito Rin was out of breath even after running a thousand meters. She felt that she had been studying for too long.

Even without the system prompts, he has plans to exercise recently.

Set a small goal first: get up half an hour earlier every day and go to school for a run.

【…】

[There is still half an hour left before the host sleeps. Do you want to continue the simulation? ]

"Go on, go on. I've learned my lesson this time and will definitely attack Hong Xia first."

As he said this, he stood up and took out a box of milk from the bag in the corner.

The rent where he lives is quite cheap, but the price is that the supporting facilities are very simple. Not only is there no air conditioning, there is not even a refrigerator.

It's such a shabby place, but because it's in Shimokitazawa, not far from the station, the monthly rent is nearly 100,000 yen!

Is Setagaya really a place where humans can live?

A: Yes.

But it’s not a place suitable for a poor person like him!

His strong resentment even infected the system, and the simulation speed became much faster.

【Simulation under construction】

【Simulation starts】

[After your last failure, you finally figured out who your primary target was. So, with your current status, it makes the most sense to try to maintain a good relationship with Ichichi Hongxia.]

"Relationship? If you insist, the current relationship is just a classmate and a part-time colleague. If I want to pursue her, she seems quite suitable."

[Thanks to our acquaintance, you stepped up in time when the band ran into trouble during its formation. Although you lacked instrumental skills, your approachability and musical theory were excellent, allowing you to quickly fit in.]

For a high school band, the behind-the-scenes work is even more troublesome than the performances. Previously, most of this was handled by Ijichi Nikka, with the store manager also providing a lot of help.

Now that you're involved, she feels a lot more relaxed.

[Attention: The store manager has developed a strange hostility towards you! ]

"No, you guys are in a band, can't you have normal relationships among yourselves? Forget about that self-destructive lead singer. I'm here to help your sister, why are you jealous?"

During your time in the band, you experienced both pain and joy. Spending time with beautiful girls was certainly enjoyable, but their quirks also caused you a lot of trouble.

In the first month of joining the band, you wanted to carry out band activities to deepen your relationship with each other, but then you fell into deep confusion...

【Please listen to the question below! 】

Yamada Ryo resists crowded and remote places and prefers to be alone.

[Kita Ikuyo recommends everyone to go hiking. Her seat on the ticket is together with Yamada Ryo.]

Goto Ichiri is extremely wary of any activity that requires communication, and is physically on par with you.

[Ijichi Hongxia has no special requirements, I hope everyone has fun]

The store manager offered financial assistance and asked for participation.

[As the organizer of this event, you have the right to choose the venue and control the travel funds]

【As far as possible, we will try our best to meet the requirements of more people under the conditions that funds allow】

[Venue options: mountains, seaside, amusement parks, cinemas...]

【Travel Fund: 20,000 yen】

"Huh, math problems, that's what I'm best at."

Ito Rin smiled confidently.

Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo went to the movies. As long as she stayed with the senior, Kita Ikuyo had no objections.

You invited Ijichi Kouka to practice at KTV, leaving a spot for Goto Ichiri nearby.

[She's an introvert and won't have any objections, so this threesome is essentially a date for you and Ijichi Hongka.]

[Reject the store manager and make her feel the pain]

[Gives the remaining money to Yamada Ryo, and becomes resistant to Kita Ikuyo's enthusiasm]

What an intense math problem, but it seems like no math knowledge is used at all.

"It's clearly about interpersonal relationships in a band. In fact, ending the band is just the beginning. The people in Group C are the most difficult to take the college entrance examination."

The band's "reunion" was a huge success, but unfortunately, the relationship between the members progressed slowly.

After all, splitting the social gathering into two parts is too bold.

【Thinking of this, you realize your mistake】

"Damn, if only I had more money," you think.

"Damn it, if only there was more money."

Ito Rin fully agreed with this statement.

Volume 1: Chapter 7

Teacher Xiang wants to play

【But you have no money, you are a real pauper. 】

"shut up!"

Ito Rin was angry.

This broken system, how can it only tell the truth?

After realizing your weaknesses, you've ignited your fighting spirit, but before that, you should pursue Ijichi Nikka first.

"Shouldn't we be making money? Why are we going on a raid again?"

In the band, Ijichi Hongxia has a good relationship with everyone. Your concerns about the current relationship are probably due to the Archangel's dazzling light, which has led you to misunderstand the situation.

You are hesitant.

"That's why I hate gentle girls."

"They are so gentle to everyone that it's hard to tell whether they like them or just naturally warm to those around them."

【After doubts arise, your actions slow down.】

[But in the band, as a manager, you are becoming more and more important. Although you may seem like an insignificant figure, with your good social skills, you can always bring good competitions to the end of the band.]

"That's right, everyone has a place to show their abilities, even the store manager!"

Your fighting spirit is high, facing everyone in the band, shouting loudly.

"We're going to the Budokan for a concert!"

"Don't tell me it's impossible. As long as you work hard enough, you can do it."

Your words were like a thunderclap, causing a drastic change in the band.

[Hongxia, who has a dream, and Goto Ichiri, who tries to rely on the band to maintain her future life, are full of enthusiasm. ]

【In the process of moving forward, there will always be people who fall behind.】

When the band falls apart, that's when you realize it.

"..."

Ito Rin lowered her head and sighed.

"It's not a bad thing to set high goals, but when it comes to actual implementation, you still have to develop a plan that meets current standards. You don't want to overdo it right away."

"In the end, even Pochi-chan offered to go to work. How terrifying is this?"

"But I still haven't succeeded in conquering Hongxia. It looks like the rewards will be pretty bad."

Seeing that she was about to embark on the road to failure in life, Ito Rin lost interest.

After the band finished, you walked through the streets of Tokyo, looking at the river flowing before you, and a sense of despair came over you.

"???"

You have developed a feeling of world-weariness.

"What the hell, do I look like such a fragile person? Just put a new band together and keep going!"

【Suddenly, an angelic voice sounded behind you. 】

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Ito, the one who ended the band?"

【You turned around blankly and saw a beautiful girl with blue hair.】

【“Yes.” You replied lifelessly.】

"I found the right person. I rushed over as soon as I heard the band was disbanding."

Listening to her excited words, you felt like she was mocking you, and you became angry.
