Anime, but you can win a prize by confessing your love

"Of course!"

Liang turned the sign around and saw a dazzling list of products and a price table neatly marked on it.

Just looking at the variety, they have quite a lot of band merchandise, maybe Sideros can do the same...

Otsuki Yuyuko also gathered around with curiosity.

Leading the trio to an empty table, Ryo began pulling out all sorts of weird gadgets from his bag, including but not limited to cable ties, springs, CDs he had recorded himself, and so-called "copies of the first draft of lyrics"!

Chapter 220: Selling Peripheral Products

Wait, I won’t talk about the other things, but is this cable tie really just an ordinary cable tie used to organize wires? Will anyone spend 500 yen to buy it just because it has a musician’s name signed on it?

And the "copy of the first draft of the lyrics" is really just a few sheets of ordinary A4 paper, but it costs 1000 yen per copy!

Yuyuko Otsuki's eyes widened, while fans number one and two were already cheering as they picked up the CD whose packaging could only be described as shabby.

"How lucky! I finally got it this time!"

It actually sold!

While she was sighing, fans number one and two had already paid the money. One began to ask for signatures on the CD from the band members, while the other one winked at her.

"Don't you want to buy a cable tie? This time there is a style signed by Ye Mu."

Oh?

Liang, who was putting money into his wallet, suddenly became interested and looked at the unfamiliar girl in front of him.

Upon seeing this, fan number two whispered something to Liang with a gossipy look on her face, and the latter looked at her with increasingly meaningful eyes.

As a fan of looks, it’s normal to feel a little embarrassed. After all, most people probably come for the music... right?

"Ye Mu, come here quickly, your fans are here!"

Eh eh eh eh?

Liang's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for the girls and Ye Mu who was signing CDs to hear.

And Otsuki Yuyuko's face also turned red.

"No, no...Um, I actually..."

Seeing the band members surrounding her and Ye Mu with gossipy looks on their faces, Otsuki Yuyuko couldn't even speak clearly.

At this time, the only way to avoid being discovered is to run away quickly.

Just as her eyes were fixed on the gate of stars, the gate was suddenly pushed open from the outside by a huge force.

"Hello everyone! Guangjing is here on time to watch the show. Did you miss me?"

The rose-haired alcoholic sister squinted her eyes and staggered down the stairs drunkenly, making people worry that she might miss a step and fall down the stairs.

It's Hiroi Kikuri!

Everyone's attention was drawn to Fanxing. Some of the band's old fans, such as a working lady, had pinched their noses skillfully and nimbly moved to a corner to avoid being stained by the smell of alcohol.

"Um, sorry, although this drunk looks strange, she is actually a fan of the band End~"

Fan number one and two were afraid that Hiroi Kikuri would ruin the new fans' impression of the ending band, so they whispered something in a low voice, not noticing that Otsuki Yuyuko already had a somewhat broken expression.

"What? The show is over!"

Hongxia complained.

“Ah? Is the show over already? I’m so sorry, I woke up at this time, hehehe.”

Hiroi Kikuri touched her head awkwardly and smiled.

and many more……

Her smile suddenly paused, and her narrowed eyes seemed to have discovered something.

"Youyouzi, are you here to watch the performance of the Ending Band as well?"

She squeezed through the crowd to stand next to Otsuki Yuyuko, rubbed her head, and didn't even realize that she had dropped her decorative beret to the ground.

Yuyuko?

As soon as her disguise hat fell off, Hongxia and Kita suddenly felt that the girl in front of them looked familiar.

"Yuyuko Otsuki, the leader, lead vocalist and guitarist of Sideros."

Ryo has been involved in the music scene in Tokyo for a long time and instantly recognized the girl in front of him.

"Is she the one who changes teammates every year?"

Little Pochi pulled Ye Mu and asked quietly.

However, because the stars were too quiet at that moment, her voice was heard by several people nearby, including the person involved.

Yuyuko Otsuki was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and her fur instantly stood up.

"That's right, now that I know everything, I won't pretend anymore!"

She picked up her beret, dusted it off, and was about to say something harsh, but suddenly stopped.

"Wait a minute, don't leave. I'm going to change my clothes."

When the band finished, the members saw that she was coming with such force that they held their breath and prepared themselves, but they didn't expect her to suddenly say this.

Like a little kid, this isn't some special effects drama where they have to transform and put on a suit before appearing.

Hongxia even grabbed Otsuki Yuyuko, who wanted to take off her clothes and change in front of everyone, and kindly pointed out the location of the toilet to her, and the latter actually ran in happily!

During this time, everyone in the band started to discuss.

“It was so aggressive that it felt like a rival band.”

Hongxia is quite direct and straightforward.

"Oh, is it that fateful duel? That sounds cool! But I'll support you no matter what!"

Fan number one waved his fist to cheer everyone on.

Compared to Kita and Pochi who looked serious, Ryo looked like he was not afraid of trouble and was still fanning the flames:

"But isn't she Ye Mu's fan? Could it be the legendary love-hate relationship?"

"Wait, Youyouko is a fan of the guy, I didn't expect it to be like this!" Hiroi Kikuri suddenly realized, "No wonder she seems to care every time I mention you guys."

This seemed to completely confirm the fact that Otsuki Yuyuko was a fan of Ye Muyan. Everyone was silent at first, and then they went wild.

When it comes to this kind of melodramatic plot, the girls get excited and start chattering about it. Even the manager of Hiroi, who came to punish those who entered without paying a ticket, stands beside them with his hands on his hips and eavesdrops.

Being surrounded in the middle, Ye Mu felt overwhelmed and finally couldn't help but interrupt:

"Wait, is there a possibility that she's not actually a fan, but is just looking for an excuse to observe a rival band?"

"No way, absolutely impossible."

Hiroi Kikuri smiled and hooked her arms around Ye Mu's shoulders. The strong smell of alcohol drifted into Ye Mu's nostrils along with her breath.

"Brother is a little older than Youyouko, so you must take good care of her for me... After all, if she is in a relationship, there will probably be two people who can lend me money."

What a despicable idea! No wonder the alcoholic sister is still alive today. It turns out there has always been someone cleaning up her mess behind her back.

wow~

The toilet door opened again, and after completing her disguise, Otsuki Yuyuko walked quickly in front of everyone. Although she was not as tall as Hong Xia, she looked quite imposing with her hands on her hips.

"I really don't understand why Sister Hiroi likes you guys."

Her first sentence instantly made the atmosphere awkward.

"Although your music and lyrics are good, I tell you, you are still far from being a real professional band!"

Yuyuko Otsuki's gaze turned to Pochi-chan, who was startled and lowered his head.

"Especially you, Pochi. Hiroi-san said you play guitar very well, but I couldn't tell this time. After the MC, your strumming was just like your speech, too timid."

Ye Mu looked solemn and reached out to hold little Bochi's hand.

And Hiroi Kikuri's half-smile expression also changed quietly. She opened her eyes and stared at Otsuki Yuyuko expressionlessly.

Chapter 221: Don’t let people look down on you!

Finally, Yuyuko Otsuki turned her gaze to Kikuri Hiroi:

"So sister, I don't understand why you think this band has the strength to participate in away performances!"

"Oh?" Hiroi Kikuri's eyes were calm, "Are you saying that I am blind?"

"is not what it means……"

Her conflict with the End Band suddenly turned into a conflict with Hiroi Kikuri, and Otsuki Yuyuko was at a loss as to what to do.

Hesitating and unable to speak, the girl with twin ponytails stomped her feet one last time, left a harsh word, and quickly ran out of the Starry Performance Hall:

"Just you wait, let's take a look at Shinjuku Flot!"

As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the exhibition hall fell silent. No one spoke. Later, someone exclaimed and started applauding, and many people followed suit.

"Come on, everyone who is finishing the band, we will also support you at Shinjuku Flot when the time comes!"

Fan number one shouted to several people, expressing the feelings of several other fans.

What we did may not be as bad as Yuyuko Otsuki said.

The heavy expressions of the girls eased a lot.

"Youyouzi is just like that. Even though she says that, her real thoughts might be exactly the opposite, so don't take it too seriously."

Hiroi Kikuri patted a few people's shoulders to comfort them, but when she reached Xiao Boqi, she found that Ye Mu was whispering something to her, so she didn't go forward.

"But we really need to train hard!"

Hongxia pulled a few people over and formed a circle to cheer everyone up.

"We can't let people look down on us after we finish the band!"

Kita nodded and pumped his fist.

Liang didn't say anything, but his expression was quite firm.

only……

They all turned their eyes to little Pochi, who still had her head down, trembling all over, and said nothing.

As the main target of Otsuki Yuyuko's attack, Pochi once again fell into self-doubt.

At this time, I'm afraid only Ye Mu can comfort her.

After the live ended, the farce created by Yuyuko Otsuki who "ruined the place" also came to an end. The fans comforted the emotionally upset Pochi Kochi and then slowly left the venue, leaving only a few people in the end.

"Manager," Ye Mu called out to Xingge who was about to go back to the bar to rest, "Little Boqi and I want to leave early today, so I'd like to ask for your leave."

"Approved, but I will still deduct your salary."

Xingge still behaves like a greedy capitalist, but even though he has said it so many times, the salary he pays each time has not actually been reduced.

Ye Mu exchanged glances with Hong Xia, nodded to Hiroi Kikuri, and left with Xiao Bochi.

Seeing this, Guangjing, who had been blaming himself, sighed, took out a box of cheap wine from behind, inserted a straw and took a few gulps:

"Really, that Yuyuko...Pochi-chan is very fragile."

…………

On the tram, because they avoided the rush hour, the flow of people in the carriage was not too outrageous. The two of them leaned on the left and right corners of the carriage, not saying a word.

"Senior, am I really useless?"

"How could that be? You are a guitar hero, a very capable guitar blogger."

"But..." Little Pochi raised his left hand, pretended to press a power chord, and looked at his palm in confusion, "No matter how good you are in private, it's nothing if you can't perform on stage."

This is the crux of the problem.

As early as last year, the band had used the "Dream Linker" to achieve eight hours of ensemble training every day, and it lasted for nearly half a month.

Theoretically speaking, as she is used to playing in ensemble, she should be able to perform at the level of a guitar hero. However, when she was on stage, due to various factors, she couldn't even perform to the level of a five-star score.

As the lead guitar, when playing, Xiao Boqi does not just "press the corresponding frets". More picky audiences like Yuyuko Otsuki will also care about whether the string guard is clean and whether there is too much noise.
