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

Hongxia's answer put Aiyin at ease. It was fine as long as she wasn't her future teammate.

"Yes, I am the guitarist in the band. The reason why I want to go to STARRY today is because Lin Yi told me that he has found a suitable guitar lead singer."

"Eh——!" Hong Xia let out a long surprised sound. "Since she was able to sign a contract with the agency, Aiyin must be a very good guitar player, right?"

"It's okay? Not as bad as Hongxia said~"

Aiyin said modestly, but her expression and small movements showed that she was very proud.

She rubbed her hair at the temples and said, "I just started learning guitar recently, but my teachers say I have great talent. By the time the band members are together, I should be able to perform on my own."

"Swoosh..."

Hongxia agreed softly, but her mind was already focused on the information revealed in Aiyin's words.

If the band under the Xingyun Agency currently only has a guitarist and a guitar lead singer...

Isn't that just what they need a bassist and a drummer? It fits her and Ryo's positioning perfectly, and this Aine-san should be easy to get along with.

Do you really need to sign a contract with an agency? Is it too fast to debut right after forming a band?

And...can she and Liang really be recognized and competent?

Aine noticed Hongxia's change in mood and asked with concern, "What are you thinking about? Hongxia mentioned guitar when we just met. Is Hongxia also playing in a band?"

Hongxia put her hands behind her back and looked at the street scenery and passers-by.

"I'm a drummer, and I have a friend who's a bassist. We want to form a band... but not a commercial band! We just want to play around on our own first."

"The reason I talked to Aine just now was to see if I could get you, a guitarist, to be the lead guitarist."

Guitar vocals?

"Ahaha, that's such a coincidence, Hongxia..."

This word touched Aine’s sensitive nerves, and she smiled awkwardly.

If I had insisted on being the guitar lead singer at that time, I would have definitely been a drag and embarrassed myself in front of the audience.

While feeling thankful, Aine also came to her senses.

Hongxia and her friend are the drummer and bassist, and the band planning department in the agency is lacking drummers and bassists.

Lin Yi wants to form an idol girl band, and Hong Xia is a sunny and beautiful girl who is comparable to her, and she completely meets Lin Yi's requirements.

As for the technical level...if she, a newbie with no basic skills, has no problem at all, is there anyone else who would have problems?

So Aine touched Hongxia's arm and asked mysteriously, "Hongxia, is your friend a man or a woman? Do you have a photo?"

Hongxia was confused by Aine's question, but she still took out her phone and showed her the photo of herself and Ryokazu.

"Her name is Yamada Ryo. Although she looks cold, she is actually a very nice person!" Hong Xia's tone was slightly proud when she introduced her, just like a parent.

Yamada Ryo…Aine put her face close to the phone screen, and when she saw the photo of a cool girl with short blue hair covering her eyes, her eyes lit up.

Although her style is different from mine, Yamada Ryo is also a very handsome and beautiful girl.

Chihaya Aine suddenly had an idea. If she could introduce these two beautiful girls to Lin Yi and fill the gap in the idol girl band project, it would definitely be a great achievement, right?

Thinking of this, Aine couldn’t help but let a silly smile appear on her face.

"Hongxia, let me tell you..."

----

STARRY, in the practice room.

Lin Yi, who was chatting with Taoxiang, suddenly covered his mouth and sneezed loudly.

"Ah sneeze!"

Lin Yi wiped it with a piece of paper and muttered quietly, "Who is talking about me behind my back?"

"Momoka, where were we talking about just now?"

After a period of communication (deception), Lin Yi successfully promoted his own theory to Momoka Kawaharaki, and the distance between the two sides was also shortened a lot. The address has changed from "Miss Kawaharaki" to the more intimate "Momoka".

"Um... we talked about defeating Diamond Dust head-on and proving ourselves."

Tao Xiang had a strange expression on her face. She said tactfully, "Lin Yi, I think we should not aim too high for now. Let's form the band first and then talk about other things."

At this moment, the phone in Lin Yi's pocket vibrated. He took it out and saw that it was a message from Aiyin.

[Aine: I'm at STARRY, come out and pick me up! ]

After putting away his phone, Lin Yi nodded in agreement and stood up from the sofa.

"You're right Momoka, getting the band members together first is the most important thing."

"Aine is already here, go meet your future new teammates first."

Lin Yi and Tao Xiang walked out of the practice room one after another. As soon as they came out, Lin Yi heard Aiyin's very recognizable voice.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Chihaya Aine, the guitarist from Nebula Studio. You can just call me Aine!"

Arriving at the lobby of STARRY, the first person Lin Yi noticed was not Aiyin who was introducing herself, but the highly professional blue-haired cool girl Yamada Ryo who he met at RiNG last night.

"Why are you here?"

Yamada Ryo turned around when he heard the voice.

The moment he saw Lin Yi, there was finally a trace of emotion on his expressionless face. His lips slightly opened and he said something shocking.

"Boss! So you are the one who got hurt?"

Chapter 13 Everyone has his own boomerang

"cold!"

Hongxia raised her voice and glared at Yamada Ryo, like a mother disciplining her naughty child.

However, instead of admitting his mistake, Liang puffed out his chest with some pride.

"Hongxia, the boss and I have a financial relationship!"

Hongxia and Xingge knew Ryo's personality very well, so they naturally knew that Ryo was kidding and didn't mean that, but Aine didn't know that.

The pink-haired girl looked at Lin Yi as if he were a criminal.

stare--

Lin Yi had no choice but to explain: "I went to RiNG to watch a live show yesterday to see if there were any suitable candidates to recruit into the agency. I met this... Miss Liang there."

"I asked her what she thought about the performing band. I thought she was quite professional, so I gave her a little consulting fee, not much, just 10,000 yen."

"Ten thousand yen?!" Hong Xia made a surprised sound, then pinched her waist and said angrily: "Liang, why are you like this again!"

Aine and Momoka blinked.

again?

Yamada Ryo looked at Hongxia perfunctorily: "Hongxia, can you bear to see me hungry?"

"Wouldn't it be better if you bought fewer instruments or CDs?"

"No."

Hong Xia had no choice but to say to Lin Yi: "Mr. Lin Yi, Liang has a lot of pocket money! If you keep satisfying her demands, she will get even more demanding!"

Lin Yi withdrew his gaze from the [Ichichi Hongxia] above the blonde girl's head and said nonchalantly.

"It's no big deal. We both agree to it and we each get what we want."

After having the system, Lin Yi had a special liking for spending money. Unfortunately, Aiyin didn't understand and only asked him for reimbursement when it was absolutely necessary.

Liang gave Lin Yi a thumbs up.

Seeing that Lin Yi had no objection, Hong Xia didn't say anything more, so she stood up straight and introduced herself to Lin Yi in a clear voice.

"Mr. Lin Yi, nice to meet you. I'm Ichichi Hongxia, a freshman at Shimokitazawa High School. I'm the drummer. Liang is the same year as me and is the bassist."

Judging from the conversation just now, Hongxia's personality is more reliable than Aiyin and Liang. Coupled with her energetic voice, Lin Yi naturally has a slight liking for her.

But introductions are introductions alone, but what does it mean to report your position right away?

The drummer and bassist happened to be the vacant positions in the band, so it seemed they came well prepared.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Lin Yi. You can just call me by my name from now on..."

Lin Yi responded with a smile, and at the same time looked sharply at the pink-haired girl beside him.

What's going on, Aine?

Is it you who did this!

Lin Yi still needs to find a drummer and a bassist, but obviously not now, and not just any person can do.

Although Hongxia and Liang both meet the requirements, let’s not talk about Hongxia for now. Liang is a professional. Even if her bass playing level is not as good as the one she played last night, her strength should not be underestimated.

Aiyin obviously didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking and was still immersed in the joy of having made a contribution.

She said happily: "Lin Yi, isn't our band short of a drummer and a bassist? And Hong Xia and Liang are both beautiful girls, which perfectly fits the theme of our idol girl band!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of both Xingge behind the counter and Taoxiang behind Lin Yi changed slightly.

Xingge was surprised, while Taoxiang was examining and observing.

Lin Yi took a step back calmly.

"Aine, let's talk about this later. This is Momoka, she just officially joined our agency and is temporarily taking the position of guitar lead vocalist."

Momoka's eyes were gentle and her voice was friendly as she said, "I'm Momoka Kawaharaki, 20 years old. We'll be teammates from now on. Please give me your guidance."

"...Kawaraki Momoka..."

Aiyin repeated the name quietly, as if she had thought of something. She picked up her phone and fiddled with it for a long time, a surprised expression on her face.

"Momoka-san, it's really you! I've heard your song, 'Empty Box', it's amazing!" Aine was like a fan who had met her idol, her whole body filled with joy.

Apparently, Aine was pleased with her new teammate.

Taoxiang felt much more relaxed at this moment. She shook her head and didn't put on any airs as if she was meeting her fans.

"That's all in the past... Now we're just partners in a band, Aine, let's create together in the future."

“Yeah!” Aiyin nodded heavily, obviously not realizing the seriousness of the matter.

She is the talented guitarist Chihaya Aine!

The only two artists under Xingyun Agency already know each other, so let’s get back to the topic just now.

Several pairs of eyes present were focused on Lin Yi.

Lin Yi felt the invisible pressure.

“Ahem…” Lin Yi coughed twice and looked at Xingge with a questioning look: “Manager, what do you think?”

Because Xingge was unmoved by money when renting a practice room, Lin Yi had great confidence in Xingge's character, and the advice she gave was at least of reference value.

Xingge, who was watching the show behind the counter with her chin in her hand, rolled her eyes helplessly when she saw Lin Yi call on her. Under Hongxia's nervous gaze and Liang's winking eyes, Xingge slowly spoke.

"If you ask me, among commercial bands, Liang is good enough, but Hongxia is far behind..."

When Hongxia heard her sister say this, she felt depressed and the standing hair on her head drooped down.

Lin Yi touched his chin and thought seriously.

Some of Xingge’s comments about Hongxia may not be true, after all, he has to avoid suspicion.

Hongxia's level might be slightly lower, but not too far behind.

Her level is average...but Hongxia is a sunny and beautiful girl. You know, no matter where you are, people are very tolerant of cute and pretty girls.

Aiyin didn't have to worry because she had never played the guitar before and was a beginner with absolutely no basic skills.

As for Yamada Ryo, her only advantage with Lin Yi is that she is willing to spend money and can find all kinds of reasons to ask for reimbursement, which can be called a double-edged sword...

At this moment, Chihaya Aine's high-pitched voice interrupted Lin Yi's thoughts.

"It's okay!"

Aine had a bright smile on her face and shook her slender index finger gently.

She closed her eyes, tilted her head 30 degrees, and said in a professional tone: "The so-called idols are to resonate with the audience, and the greatest resonance is precisely the growth of our strength as an idol band!"

Listening to Aiyin's words, Lin Yi inexplicably felt familiar. Did he say these words to Aiyin in the past?
