Cultivating a girl band, but the goal is to lose money!

“I play guitar, too, so I can feel it.”

"The new lead singer and the new drummer will be coming to the office tonight, right? We can't go on like this."

Even though Ichiri wasn't the one who ended the band, they were all from the same agency, so Momoka naturally hoped that she could get better.

Lin Yi first breathed a sigh of relief, then nodded with a strange feeling in his heart and said seriously.

"Don't worry, Taoxiang. I will find a way to help her over there."

Taoxiang’s statement is a bit too fantastical. What does “having chains wrapped around the body affecting performance” mean?

If it works, it works. If it doesn’t, it doesn’t work. Why are there so many things to say?

Tao Xiang, a guitarist who has been unsuccessful for three years, is definitely not as discerning as Lin Yi. She made a wrong judgment this time.

……

Time passed, and soon it was time for school to end.

Lixi and Xiangzi came together because they were in the same school, followed by Deng, and Yili was the last one to arrive because his school was a little far away.

After signing the contract, the band, which did not yet have a name, began practicing.

Because it was the first time, Lin Yi and Xiangzi were also watching from the side.

Li Xi operated the equipment skillfully and added the bass and keyboard parts of "Haruhi Shadow" into the background.

"Since we don't have any new songs yet, and Deng can't sing any other songs yet, let's practice with 'Haruhi Kage' first."

Lixi handed the music score to Yili, and in the latter's confused eyes, she added another sentence.

“It doesn’t matter if you haven’t played it before, you can just slowly get familiar with it.”

"Yes, I will try my best!"

Yili responded loudly, looking at the sheet music seriously.

In fact, after returning home last night, Yili checked Crychic's information overnight. She had played her only work "Spring Shadow" more than ten times.

So as not to let down the chain now!

Soon, the prelude of "Spring Shadow" sounded.

As Deng sang along with his familiar voice, Xiangzi bit his lower lip lightly, a complicated expression on his face.

This song was written by her and Deng together, but now Deng is singing while she can only watch from the side.

Xiangzi recalled the day when Taoxiang took the lead in declaring war on Diamond.

It turned out that she couldn't be as relieved as Taoxiang.

Although Xiangzi did not actively express her emotions, both Lin Yi and Li Xi, who was performing, noticed her changes.

The song is over.

Lixi put down the drumsticks and first glanced at Yili. Although she made several mistakes in her performance, it was already amazing that she could perform at such a level for the first time.

Li Xi looked at Xiangzi who was still feeling melancholy, and couldn't help but said: "Xiangzi, if you want to play, just come up and play. Anyway, the person hasn't been found yet. Making such a gesture aside really affects your state!"

Deng asked with some surprise: "Saki-chan, do you want to join us!?"

It would be great if Xiangzi changed his mind and wanted to continue forming a band with them.

A blush appeared on Xiangzi's cute fair face and he turned his head away embarrassedly.

"You guys practice your own thing. I just felt a little emotional for a moment, but I'll be able to adjust my state right away."

Deng felt a little regretful when he heard this, but Li Xi felt that he had won.

From the establishment to the disbandment of Crychic, and then to the establishment of the new band now, she is the one who has always been by Deng's side!

‘Crack! ’

The sound of a camera shutter was heard.

Lin Yi looked at the melancholy Xiaoxiang in the photo, as well as Lixi, Deng and Yili in the background, and nodded with satisfaction.

The timing of the capture was perfect!

Xiangzi suddenly woke up and stared at Lin Yi with shame and anger.

"What did you do?"

"Take a picture to commemorate it."

"Delete."

"Don't delete it."

"Delete it!"

"Don't delete it."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Lin Yi, Xiangzi suddenly attacked and tried to snatch Lin Yi's cell phone.

But how could Xiangzi, who was only 1.55 meters tall, be a match for Lin Yi, who was 1.8 meters tall?

Lin Yi raised his arm, and no matter how hard Xiangzi jumped, he couldn't reach it.

"Don't worry, I won't send the photos out casually."

"casual?"

"You can rest assured."

Lin Yi did not give any specific explanation, but just assured with a smile.

Xiangzi glared at Lin Yi, snorted coldly, and stopped talking.

After this little episode, Xiangzi's heart, which was slightly stimulated by "Spring Shadow", calmed down again and felt a little warm.

After listening to their first contact, Lin Yi said hello and retreated.

Before coming to the office this morning, Lin Yi went to the Yoshinoya restaurant in Kawasaki in advance.

I learned from the store clerk that Ebizka Satoshi and RUPA usually work the night shift, and they are not scheduled every day.

Their latest shift is tonight, so it’s better to go early than late. Lin Yi plans to go over tonight to see if the two of them are suitable so that the subsequent work can be carried out better.

But before that, Lin Yi still had to cook a meal for her small dining table client Nagasaki Suyo.

……

Half past five in the evening.

Lin Yi's family's meal today: steamed pork ribs with corn, shrimps with garlic sauce, cabbage with vinegar, and scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Su Shi sat at the dining table, looking at the delicious dishes in front of him, holding the chopsticks, clasped his hands together and closed his eyes.

"I'm gonna start now."

Following the calm voice, Su Shi opened his eyes, picked up the chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork ribs.

Lin Yi ate the garlic-flavored prawns while looking at the girl.

It was clearly him who stood up Su Shi yesterday. When she came today, she not only did not offer any opinions, but she didn't even ask any questions. This surprised Lin Yi very much.

Combined with the tacit American bullying that Su Shi suffered from Xiangzi and the others yesterday, Lin Yi actually felt a little more sympathetic towards her.

Lin Yi took the initiative to talk: "Su Shi, you are the only Japanese, why do you still say 'I'm starting'?"

Su Shi swallowed the pork ribs in her mouth, then stretched out her pink little tongue to lick the juice on her lips and corners of her mouth, then raised her head.

The girl knew that Lin Yi was from Dongda University and might not be familiar with the customs here, so she explained it seriously.

"'I'm eating' is a notification and a courtesy, but also a way of expressing gratitude for the food and thanking the chef or person who prepared it."

"I see."

Lin Yi nodded thoughtfully, and then said enthusiastically: "Su Shi, when you eat at my house, just treat it as your own home, don't be polite."

Lin Yi's words were clearly just simple remarks, but when they reached Su Shi's ears, their meaning changed.

Treat it as your own home...home...

Su Shi opened his mouth slightly, and a warm feeling surged from his heart.

This was the first time in such a long time that someone other than her mother had spoken to her like this, and her mother was rarely around.

It was precisely because of this that she felt so lost last night when she received the news that Lin Yi would not come back.

Su Shi longs for companionship and emotional exchange.

“How does the food I cooked today taste?”

"..."

After that, Lin Yi took the initiative to talk to Su Shi. Although they were all insignificant and trivial matters, the atmosphere was unusually relaxed and cheerful. Su Shi smiled more and more, and even ate a little slower than usual.

But the longer battle line would allow her to eat more.

After dinner, after cleaning up the table and the kitchen, Su Shi, who was about to say goodbye to Lin Yi, discovered that he had come out with her.

"What are you doing?"

Su Shi asked curiously.

"I have something to do. See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Looking at Lin Yi disappearing in the elevator, Su Shi withdrew her gaze and put down her hand that was waving goodbye.

The smile on her face gradually faded, and then she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Su Shi, ah Su Shi, don't forget your purpose!

Xiaoxiang, she is still waiting for you!

……

Kawasaki, Yoshinoya.

Due to its geographical location, the overall performance of this store is not very good.

But because it is a directly operated chain store, the pressure is actually not that great.

And there will be no salary cut due to this, so it can be called a paradise for working.

The girl, wearing a green employee uniform, a mask and a brown pompadour, poured the food scraps into the swill bucket and put the bowl aside to be cleaned up.

It's already past nine o'clock, there's not a single customer in the store, and it won't be long before the end of the day.

But at this moment, the door was pushed open again and a new customer walked in.

The girl frowned briefly; this was the last thing she wanted to see.

"welcome!"

Another tall, brown-skinned woman greeted.

The tall, handsome, and somewhat familiar-looking man sat down, but instead of ordering anything, he pulled out a business card from his pocket and handed it over.

Lin Yi got straight to the point and said, "Hello, I'm Lin Yi, the president of Xingyun Agency. I'm currently planning a new band project. Are you interested in chatting?"

Ebizuka Satoshi glanced at Lin Yi warily, and instead of taking the business card, he pulled RUPA to the back and whispered.

"Who is this guy? Why did he come to us suddenly?"

"I'm not so sure either."

RUPA shook his head and said, "But the band that played the closing song "Yugure" seems to be from this agency."

After RUPA's reminder, Ebizuka Satoshi finally had the corresponding impression.

She reached out to take the business card and asked, "Why did President Lin come to us? Are you interested in our work?"

After her previous band broke up, she and RUPA started working together as a group called "Red Ginger" on the Internet, which attracted quite a bit of attention.

Before Lin Yi, other agencies had contacted them, but they were all rejected because of differences in creative concepts.

work?

Lin Yi looked confused and asked, "Do you two have any works?"

But I guess the work is not that good, it’s not very popular, and there is no income and no money.

Otherwise, why would you work at Yoshinoya to earn money?
