A comic book, but a librarian

"So here are some neat little tricks for you...some weird tricks that other people have figured out when it comes to birdsong."

Uesugi Cheng yawned. He didn't intend to let the members of the Bond Band step into the supernatural world. After all, it was too dangerous for the four girls, and they had never encountered similar things. However, he could reveal to them some techniques in "Birdsong" that were not related to the supernatural. After all, this technique was just a by-product of the mysterious knowledge.

Of course, speaking of this, Uesugi Cheng's original plan was to borrow the names from a certain humor master's "The Seventh Tone" as code names for the band members, but to be honest, he didn't want to be plagued by all kinds of misfortunes when he returned to the noon world, so he gave up in the end. After all, he was not Savage, and he really didn't have the courage to mock so many Si Chen.

"Did you write down everything I just said? You can contact me later. If there is anything you don't understand, you can send me a message and I will send you my account number."

Kita Ikuyo added Uesugi Sumire as a friend. She had to admit that she was starting to feel a little dizzy. After all, although she had written down everything Uesugi Sumire told her in her notebook, it still took a long time to understand it.

"Thank...thank you, senior. I..."

Kita Ikuyo's brain seemed to be overloaded. For a moment, she didn't know what to say. She just thanked him mechanically. Uesugi Sumiko touched her head and looked at her.

Kita Ikuyo woke up instantly. Although her face turned a little red, her thinking ability was basically restored.

"If everything is alright, I'll go check on the others. Come on, girls. This is the path you chose."

After Uesugi Cheng confirmed that Kita Ikuyo had indeed remembered what he said, he nodded and left the practice room first. The teaching time for the two of them alone was over, and the next thing to do was to do it with the next person...

"Ichiri, to be honest, I don't have much to say about your guitar skills, but what you need to do is to find the balance between performing at your own level and cooperating with your teammates. After all, your skills are indeed the best among the four of us."

Goto Ichiri hugged her guitar in a panic, as if she wanted to find some sense of security in this tool that cost her a lot of money. Although Uesugi Sumika had never lost her temper or said anything harsh when she talked to her, Goto Ichiri felt that no matter when she saw Uesugi Sumika, she couldn't get out of this state of fear.

To be honest, she felt that it was like a student with poor academic performance meeting his teacher, and he would always have a guilty feeling.

"But if you still feel that you are not completely at peace, let's play together. You can choose the song, and we will play together for a while now."

Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment. In fact, Uesugi Sumire had used this method before. In order to comfort her who couldn't even play with her teammates at that time, Uesugi Sumire used this method to let her put aside her distracting thoughts.

"Well, then... "That Band"."

Without choosing any other music, the two of them picked up their guitars and started strumming.

In fact, Goto Ichiri still really likes this feeling which is not alone but better than being alone. It is no longer stressful for her to have Uesugi Sumire sitting here. Many times, she has discovered that her wild thoughts are the biggest obstacle preventing her from moving forward. The malice in this world is not as serious as she imagined, or in other words, the people she meets are actually good people.

"Well, this state is very good. He will actively cooperate with his teammates but can stand out and control the rhythm when necessary. Yili, just follow this rhythm."

Uesugi Cheng stroked Goto Ichiri's little head. He had to say that he finally understood why Kishimojin liked to touch his head so much. She would touch his head from time to time. This feeling was really wonderful.

Goto Ichiri shrank his head, helplessly enduring this caress, but the corners of his mouth curved slightly, making him look as if he was enjoying it.

--boast--

"Thank you so much for coming to help... Actually, I shouldn't have bothered you."

Ijichi Kouka sat opposite Uesugi Sumire, with sparkling water in front of both of them. In fact, Uesugi Sumire should not have been called back for such a situation. After all, they had only completed a stage goal, and it was not yet time for Uesugi Sumire to come over. However, she still sent the message.

"That's good. After all, I've seen your progress..."

"Don't look like an old father who has just watched his daughter grow up at this moment!!"

Ijichi Hongxia patted her head helplessly. It seemed that Uesugi Cheng's positioning of herself was a little different from her expectations, but this was still within the scope of understanding.

"This is the share we can give you this month... Sorry, is it still a little too little?"

Uesugi Cheng accepted the money very calmly and spoke.

"It's okay. After all, I didn't do anything this month. It wouldn't be justified to take too much money. We didn't specify how much money we would pay per month, so it doesn't really matter."

Uesugi Cheng coughed, and then his face suddenly became serious.

"After discussion, we have decided to pay our agents a certain amount of salary. The specific salary structure is as follows..."

Then he changed the subject and relaxed again.

"Do you think this is okay?"

Ijichi Kouka was stunned by Uesugi Sumire's performance, and after a while she couldn't help but laugh.

"Sorry, sorry... It's indeed my problem, but these things still need to be clarified. After all, Uesugi-senpai is working for free now."

Uesugi Cheng nodded.

"Just consider this as my investment in the Bond Band. After all, I am still very optimistic about you guys. And if you really want to go into the professional arena... you might even want to participate in the competition."

Ijichi Kouka immediately realized the competition that Uesugi Cheng was talking about. There are many campus band competitions, but the one Uesugi Cheng was referring to... was probably only that one.

Chapter 388: Visiting the Yotsuya family.

"It's that... Girls Band Competition, but that's a points system, right? If we want to participate now, we have to wait until the next season."

Ijichi Hongxia was not unaware of this matter. Having made up her mind to embark on a professional path, she also began to learn about these things. But to be honest, they were not in a very good situation at the moment. After all, there were many bands that became famous before, and some were even high school bands. After reading those materials, she began to doubt whether she was living in the same world as these people, and why they seemed to never run out of inspiration.

"Yes, it's always good to pay attention to it in advance. After all, this is a necessary step... Speaking of which, I haven't learned much about these things yet. It seems that I have failed in my duty."

Uesugi Cheng stretched lazily. The Bond Band was just getting on the right track and he could provide more and more help. In fact, from a rational point of view, it was time for him to retire. If he removed his so-called "agent" responsibilities at this time, not only would no one object, but the four girls of the Bond Band would not become strangers to him and he would have more time to prepare for what he wanted to do.

"As for the result, I am actually worried. After all, these four people haven't even stepped out of the school gate."

They had never encountered many of the problems before, and even a few words from that self-media person forced Uesugi Cheng to come out and help them stabilize the morale.

However, looking at the situation, they are able to adjust very quickly. At least, they don't need Uesugi Cheng to watch over them all the time. It's enough if he can show up and comfort them at the critical moment.

"In that case, I'll leave the rest to you to figure out. Anyway, the samples for the music festival are ready for submission. I'd like to wish you success. I'll go take a rest first. If you need anything, just call me."

Uesugi Sumiko twisted his neck and found that he did seem to be a little itchy, but he still had to go and meet Yotsuya Miko first to see how she was doing.

To be honest, Uesugi Sumiko had never seen eyes as strange as Yotsuya Miko's. Not only had she awakened the "vision" to see evil spirits, but this special vision had even been self-enhancing. Yotsuya Miko went from not being able to see those powerful and terrifying evil spirits in the beginning to probably using her own eyes to analyze their weaknesses now. All this happened in just half a year. For many people, this rate of growth was actually no different from a legendary story.

"It's not just her talent... What's more important is whether someone is pushing her forward, using methods we don't know about yet. Regardless of these things, I have to first see what the relationship between her and the mountain god has become."

Uesugi Sumiko carried his bag. The afternoon was almost over and it was another day of demonic time. In the slightly ambiguous time period of dusk, which was like a dividing line, Uesugi Sumiko could indeed feel the gradual activation of spiritual power and the activities of those spirits.

The tall scarecrow stood next to the traffic light, blood dripping down. Judging from its shape, Uesugi Cheng felt that it was probably a real 'scarecrow' made of humans, but he had no intention of taking any action. After all, the scarecrow was just standing there, doing nothing, and people passing by ignored it without surprise.

"Well, the species that appear during the Demonic Hour are different. They look a little weirder..."

The scarecrow Wufeng moved automatically, not to intimidate or try to capture its prey. This strange evil spirit, which only had instinct left, trembled unconsciously. Its intuition made it feel the essence of Uesugi Cheng, which was completely different from it. The monster used the "human skin" of a living person. What was underneath...

The scarecrow stuck in the ground tried to leave, but could only shake in despair. It no longer dared to make any move because Uesugi Cheng was already looking at it.

"It seems that your IQ is not low, but you should just become a Buddha honestly. If you stay here, you will never be able to be liberated in your lifetime."

At the moment when the red light turned green, the scarecrow fell to the ground and gradually melted into part of the air. The resentment slowly dissipated, and along with it the resentment of the dead.

"Fortunately, most people can't see it, otherwise the commotion would probably make the traffic police collapse."

Uesugi Cheng snapped his fingers and "invited" all the surrounding spirits out of the designated area in a more gentle manner. After all, some of these spirits did appear here just to see their relatives for the last time. After cultivating himself, Uesugi Cheng did not intend to get rid of them all at once.

"Good afternoon, may I ask..."

"Yotani-san's classmate, came here to check on her. After all, I heard that she seemed to be ill."

Uesugi Sumire's smile was impeccable, and Yotsuya Miko's mother immediately put this classmate, whom she had never met before, on the list of people she could trust.

"Ohhhh, please come in, Jianzi!! Your classmates are here to see you!!"

Miko's mother looked very surprised, and welcomed Uesugi Sumire in with delight. She also called out "Yotani Miko" to prevent her from scaring her classmates with her messy appearance. In her opinion, the fact that Uesugi Sumire came to visit Yotani Miko at this time showed their relationship, and she couldn't let her daughter embarrass herself in this place.

"Hey, Hua is here at this time... Cheng!!!? Why are you here at this time?! Wait wait wait, I need to go..."

Yotsuya Miko was obviously a little sleepy, but the moment she saw Uesugi Sumire, her sleepiness instantly disappeared. She hurried back to her room and started fiddling with herself.

Uesugi Sumire looked around Yotsuya Miko's house. She had done very good job in protecting the house. All the necessary places were protected, and there were also additional sensing methods.

"Brother, are you my sister's classmate? You look completely different from me."

The young man appeared in front of Uesugi Cheng with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.

"Yes, your sister occasionally asks me to help her with her studies...By the way, how is she doing lately? I heard that she suddenly fell ill recently."

389

Chapter 389: Have a sweet dream.

"It's not that bad. She's just like this anyway. Maybe it's because the weather is getting colder. Do you think she's..."

"As Yotsuya Miko's younger brother, he doesn't seem to care that much about his sister."

"Stop talking nonsense, Uesugi...Acheng, come up and talk."

Yotsuya Miko ruthlessly interrupted her brother's nonsense and gave him a slap on the head, which earned him a dissatisfied snort. Then she pulled Uesugi Sumiko upstairs. The naturalness of the process made Yotsuya Miko's brother roll his eyes, as if he understood something.

The evil dog hid in its own little nest. Since being raised by Yotsuya Miko, it has learned a lot of things, such as how to possess an object and treat it as its home. It also seems to have retained some of its previous habits, such as its particular liking to sleep in winter.

Yotsuya Miko showed her wrist. There seemed to be nothing on her slender wrist. Even Yotsuya Miko herself could only vaguely feel it, so she took a deep breath, adjusted her state, and then closed her eyes.

"There is indeed a red line, exactly the same as the one on my wrist... It seems that the transfer cannot be completely avoided. Is this the so-called 'authority' or the power of God? It is indeed very interesting."

Uesugi Sumiko looked at the same red line on his wrist, both of which extended far away outside the house. Although it looked like some kind of wonderful fate, it was actually the sign of the mountain god choosing his victims, just like the bracelet on Uesugi Sumiko's hand. He could feel that the power of the bracelet seemed to have begun to become unnaturally active.

"It is a god of fate, so it can do such a thing, Jianzi."

Uesugi Sumire's sudden mention of Yotsuya Miko's name startled her, as if she had been suddenly awakened. For some reason, she always felt tired lately, even when she was almost unable to fall asleep.

"I'm here!! What's wrong?"

"You need to rest well first. After spring comes... the mountain god will wake up, and then we can solve all the problems. It's too dangerous to run into the mountains now, and the mountain god has got the half bottle of blood."

Uesugi Sumiko paused and used [Quenching and Extinguishing] to comfort Yotsuya Miko. The red line of the mountain god was an invisible and deadly pressure to those who could see it, as if the scythe of the god of death was chasing them from behind.

If this kind of psychological pressure is not dealt with in time, it will crush Yotsuya Miko's spirit before anything happens. After all, the red line is not just beautiful, it actually conveys the mountain god's desires and oppression to Yotsuya Miko's heart. For this high school girl, the unbearable pressure will only make her weaker and weaker.

Of course, this method is meaningless to Uesugi Cheng. If the red line as a "power" is not too illusory, Uesugi Cheng would want to try to reverse the influence of the mountain god and let it die in this winter.

"Hmm, I'm starting to feel sleepy again..."

Even though she had dressed up a little and obviously had a lot to say to Uesugi Sumire, there was no doubt that Yotsuya Miko's eyelids were drooping again. She felt like a hibernating animal since the beginning of winter and always wanted to have a good sleep.

"It's okay, then have a good sleep and have a sweet dream."

A candle was lit and placed on Yotsuya Miko's window. The dim sky at dusk and the soft light of the candle were reflected on Yotsuya Miko's increasingly calm face. She lay on her bed, but still couldn't help falling asleep.

"Winter makes people sleepy like this... Okay, just disturb your perception a little bit."

Uesugi Sumire easily found the paper that Yotsuya Miko usually used to make talismans in her room. He drew on it with the ordinary ink he carried with him, and after sticking the talisman on the head of Yotsuya Miko's bed, he patted her forehead gently and then placed the new information on her desk.

"You can read it slowly after you wake up. It's all encrypted in a special language."

Without any psychological burden, Uesugi Sumiko left Yotsuya Miko with a pile of knowledge about the art of silence that was even more terrifying than her winter vacation homework, and left in a carefree manner.

I just chatted with her family before leaving. I have to say that Yotsuya Miko hid herself pretty well in front of her family. At most, they thought Miko looked grown up and might have someone she liked, so they were hiding it.

"Now, I really should practice. I'm itching to do it."

Uesugi Cheng went around and around and returned to the door of RiNG, but since it was already dark, he simply went to the practice room to exercise his fingers a little, and then bought a ticket to watch today's live show.

"This is today's playlist... Forget it, I'll just listen to it. It's like I really know the people and bands on this list."

Uesugi Cheng put aside the program handed to him by the waiter and found a seat at the back. He did not plan to go back to his family tonight, but to spend the night in his small apartment, so he was very relaxed and had no intention of rushing home.

"That blue-haired girl over there... Never mind. A young lady came out by herself in the middle of the night. I guess she's probably enjoying her private time. It would be bad for me to go over there."

Uesugi Sumiko had met Toyokawa Shoko once, but only once. The eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family seemed to have her own troubles, but everyone has troubles, so Uesugi Sumiko didn't care too much.

"Uesugi...senpai?"

Although Uesugi Sumire pretended not to see Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu, the two did not seem to think the same as Uesugi Sumire, but came over and said hello obediently.

The girl named Wakaba Mutsu still stood behind Toyokawa Shoko without saying a word, and seemed to be staring at the floor.

"Good evening. Are you watching Live here too?"

Uesugi Sumire had no choice but to say hello to them. Unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko seemed very surprised to see Uesugi Sumire here and actually started chatting with him here.

I have to say that Toyokawa Shoko does go beyond Uesugi Sumiko's views on these young ladies. After all, it's rare to see a young lady whose joy is so overwhelming when talking about her favorite band.

"Speaking of which, Senior Uesugi, what do you think about forming a band?"

Uesugi Sumiko was stunned for a moment and looked at Toyokawa Shoko carefully. For a moment, he thought that this young lady was some hidden intelligence expert, but it seemed that she just wanted to give it a try.

“Just have fun.”

So Uesugi Cheng said this.

Chapter 390 [Intercalary Knowledge: The Law of the Three]

Of course, this is indeed the case for the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family. As a hobby, band is just a hobby and she just needs to have fun with it. She doesn't need to rely on it to make a living, and she doesn't have any special ideals, so naturally she doesn't need to put much effort into it. In a word, being happy is the best state for her.
