I said you are all war criminals

The game illustrations really don't lie to me, these legs, this figure, this appearance, are simply amazing... Bai Ye secretly admired in his heart, but remained calm on the surface, just smiled and greeted him.

"Welcome, welcome. You must be the people from Morfonica, right? I'm a clerk here. Just call me Hakuno."

"Ah, hello, I'm Toru Kiritani, the guitarist Morfonica." A girl with short golden hair stepped forward and bowed to Hakuno.

"I'm the bassist, Hiromachi Nanami." The pink-haired girl also said.

"Drummer, Futaba Tsukushi." The girl with long purple hair said concisely.

The last one was the black-haired girl who had been frowning since she entered the door and seemed to be dissatisfied with everything.

"Yashio Ruyu, play the violin."

"Nice to meet you, everyone. I'm the PA here." The PA lady, who had been adjusting the equipment, came over and greeted the band members. "If you have any questions, feel free to come and see me."

Then, she turned to Bai Ye and whispered, "Leave this place to me. You go out and have a rest... Don't smoke here."

Hakuno gave the PA an OK sign and left the live house on his own initiative.

He was actually quite easy to talk to, receptive to requests and quite understanding. The PA's message was clear: Hakuno wasn't comfortable interacting with a band composed of high school girls—if Xingge weren't female, there's no way they could have invited a popular girl rock band to a small live house like this. This wasn't to suggest the bands were being pretentious; after all, underground bands in Japan had experienced shocking incidents like "falling off the stage and getting pregnant." And those underground bands operated stages similar to Starry's, cramming 50-60 people into underground live houses.

It must have been difficult for Xingge to convince a popular band like Morfonica to come to such a small live house.

He wasn't going to let this effort go to waste.

Bai Ye went out and sat bored on the steps in front of Starry's door. He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, but did not light it.

"How boring..." He muttered softly, watching all kinds of passers-by walking past.

The cigarette was already wrinkled from being bitten, but Bai Ye still had no intention of lighting it. He just mechanically puffed on the filter, feeling the faint smell of tobacco, as if this could ease the boredom in his heart.

After playing the simulator for too long, reality does start to become a bit boring... This is not good. Games are games, reality is reality, and we should live happily in the real world.

At this moment, a familiar figure came into view - it was Hongxia, she came back with Toyokawa Shoko.

Bai Ye quickly stood up, threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it.

"Hey, I'm back!" Hong Xia saw Bai Ye from a distance and waved at him with a smile.

"Welcome back." Bai Ye also responded with a smile.

"Why are you outside?" Hong Xia said, and then introduced the people around her, "This is Toyokawa Shoko, the keyboard player and teacher I found for you. This is Hakuno, the leader of the band."

"Hello."

Xiangzi was a little flustered. She had originally thought she would be dealing with a boy her own age, but she hadn't expected the band leader to be an adult. But now there was no turning back. Xiangzi asked in her calmest voice, "Excuse me, when can we start working?"

PS: Let me tell you, Hong Xia’s dark turn will happen later.

As you can see, Hong Xia will be the weightlifting champion of this book. Let me reveal here that Hong Xia will remember not only the simulation that ended the band, but also everyone else's simulation.

If nothing unexpected happens, Hongxia's simulation will be the last one.

As for the first simulation, it may need to be done after one or two other simulations, because some characters need to be introduced to broaden the scope of the subsequent plot. I think you all don't want to see me finish the band simulation and then finish it at the speed of light.

By the way, judging by the progress, it should be on the shelves next week. After it is on the shelves, I beg everyone to vote for the blade.

The author is a young model or a sea-based worker, it depends on you 10

Chapter 48: Band Name

"Let's get in the car and talk. I have nothing to do, so I'll take you around." Bai Ye pointed to the car parked on the side of the road and motioned for the two to get in.

Now that PA is taking care of the store alone, Hakuno can be distracted for a while.

Hong Xia was not polite at all. She opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. She turned around and called out to Xiangzi behind her: "Come in quickly."

Xiangzi sat in the back seat somewhat awkwardly, secretly surveying the interior. It was clean and tidy, with a faint citrus aroma from the in-car fragrance. It didn't resemble the unkempt rock musician she'd imagined. However, it also didn't look like the Toyokawa family's car, which was full of upper-class rules. Instead, it felt somewhat casual.

"Have you decided where to go?" Bai Ye started the car and turned to ask Hong Xia.

"Hmm..." Hongxia held her chin and pretended to think seriously for a few seconds, "How about going to Shibuya?"

"Going to Shibuya? Xiangzi, what do you think?" Hakuno glanced at the girl in the back seat through the rearview mirror. Xiangzi had been nervous since getting on the bus. Her hands were clenched tightly together, and her knuckles turned white.

Logically speaking, wasn't this girl also a young lady? Why is she so flustered... Bai Ye said again, "Hey, Xiangzi?"

Xiangzi nodded hurriedly, like a primary school student being called out: "Oh, okay, I have no objection..."

"That's settled!" Hongxia put her arm around Xiangzi's shoulders and said enthusiastically, "Shibuya is Tokyo's fashion hub! It has all kinds of fun and delicious food!"

"As for music, Shimokitazawa is probably better." Hakuno raised his neck slightly.

"Even though you're going to be bandmates, your relationship isn't just about music, right—"

Hongxia clasped her hands together and tilted her head slightly towards Xiangzi, "Please be friends with Bai Ye."

Xiangzi forced a smile on his face: "Okay."

"Well, you'll be bandmates from now on, so you should take care of each other!" Hong Xia said, and as if suddenly remembering something, she clapped her hands. "By the way, Bai Ye, have you thought of a name for the band?"

"Name..." Bai Ye touched his chin in a thoughtful manner. In fact, he had already thought of it. "Your band name is 'The End', so how about ours be 'The Beginning'?"

"We mean 'to tie in a knot,' not to end it all."

Hong Xia complained, "That's a Chinese joke, right?"

"Do you understand Chinese?" Bai Ye asked casually.

“I have learned it.”

In her first life, Hongxia also took on assignments for the Chinese. Naturally, she learned Chinese to facilitate communication with her employers. However, back then, learning other languages only required a chip... Never mind, let's not talk about that for now.

"'Begin' is too straightforward," Hong Xia curled her lips, "Not cool at all."

"Then what's your name?" Bai Ye asked in return.

"Hmm..." Hong Xia began to think again, her chin in her hand, her eyes rolling around, "It's something that makes my blood boil just by hearing it!"

"Just call him 'The Number One in the Universe'." Bai Ye couldn't help but complain.

"Number one in the universe... that doesn't sound bad!" Hong Xia's eyes lit up, but then dimmed again. "No, no, that's too childish."

Hearing this, Hakuno couldn't help but laugh. He turned around and looked at Hongxia in the rearview mirror, jokingly saying, "So Hongxia, you have a chuunibyou."

"Hey! What are you talking about!" Hong Xia puffed up her cheeks in dissatisfaction. "I'm very mature, okay? It's just that of course the band name has to be louder!"

"Yes, yes, you are right." Bai Ye turned the steering wheel and the car drove steadily into the main road.

"Hey! Seriously!" Hong Xia got even angrier when she saw Bai Ye's nonchalant attitude. "This concerns the future of your band!"

"I don't know if there's a future for me yet," Bai Ye complained, "It's not like I can debut as a band like you guys..."

"Why? Aren't you free?"

Hong Xia asked in a harmless voice, "It seems like you haven't had a job in a year..."

"My job is to be studied... Compared to these, Xiangzi, do you have any ideas?" Bai Ye changed the subject.

"I don't have any ideas." Xiangzi lowered his head. "I was just hired. You guys should decide the name of the band."

"Don't say that, Xiangzi." Hongxia patted Xiangzi's hand and smiled brightly, "Now that we've joined the band, we're partners! As partners, of course we have to come up with a name together!"

"Xiangzi, just tell me what you think." Bai Ye also added an attack.

Xiangzi bit his lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Well... it seems that the recent girl bands all use English words as their names..."

In fact, Xiangzi’s original band was called crychic.

The chic in cry, Xiangzi just made up the word.

"Use English words for names..." Hongxia repeated Xiangzi's words, her eyes lighting up. "That's a good idea!"

Bai Ye looked at Xiangzi in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Of course, I didn't expect you to pay attention to these things."

Xiangzi shook his head slightly and whispered, "I just listen to Morfonica's songs occasionally..."

She didn't intend to tell anyone about crychic, as that would only cause more trouble.

Hongxia patted Xiangzi on the shoulder and said, "Your suggestion is very useful! It's decided then. The band name will be English!"

As she spoke, Hong Xia excitedly took out her cell phone and began to look through the English dictionary.

"Let me think of a cooler word..." Hong Xia muttered to herself while quickly scrolling through the screen. "Phoenix? No, no, too common... Dragon? No, too childish..."

Bai Ye listened to Hong Xia's mumbling while driving and couldn't help but complain, "I say, when are you going to find it? Why not just call it 'Random'? Your choice of words is pretty random anyway."

"Random? What nonsense are you talking about!" Hong Xia glared at Bai Ye in dissatisfaction, "The band name is very important! How can you just pick it randomly!"

"Okay, okay, take your time to think about it. I won't disturb you anymore." Bai Ye raised his left hand in surrender.

Hongxia ignored Baiye and continued to ponder. She flipped through the dictionary while thinking about the band's style.

"The band's style... should be quite free-spirited, right?" Hong Xia muttered to herself, "After all, Bai Ye's personality is quite casual..."

Thinking of this, Hong Xia suddenly had an idea and a word popped into her mind.

"Got it!" Hong Xia raised her head excitedly, "How about calling it 'Wildfire'?"

"Wildfire? Wildfire?" Bai Ye repeated.

"The flames are uncontrollable and spread freely," Hong Xia explained, "just like music, full of passion and unrestrained!"

"What a nice name." Xiangzi praised subconsciously.

Looking at the two girls in his car, Hakuno shrugged and stopped the car.

"Then let's go with WF, it's not bad... Compared to all this, we've arrived."

We've arrived in Shibuya.

Chapter 49: In Shibuya

When you think of Shibuya, what comes to mind?

Before traveling through time, Bai Ye would think of that battlefield.

"It will win."

Yes, that battlefield.

It seems that no one died in the battlefield except the strongest sorcerer in history, the strongest sorcerer in modern times, and the strongest sorcerer from four hundred years ago.

However…after actually traveling to Japan, Hakuno gained new insights.

This is a street that has everything: department stores, fashion boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops, amusement facilities, entertainment facilities... It has everything, yet it encompasses everything.

"Speaking of which, what do you two want to buy at the mall?" Bai Ye looked around, dazzled by the dazzling array of goods.

"Of course, it's to buy band equipment!" Hong Xia answered as a matter of course, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "We're officially forming a band now, so of course we need to buy some professional equipment!"

"Professional equipment?" Hakuno raised an eyebrow. "I have a bass and other things. Xiangzi should also have a keyboard, right?"

"Idiot!" Hong Xia said mercilessly, "I'm talking about the effects pedal! The speakers! The microphone! And all the cables! These are all very important!"

Bai Ye covered his head and sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, you are the captain and you have the final say."

"You're the captain, and I'm the drummer of the band," Hong Xia stretched out her hand and twirled the end of her ponytail. "If you ask me... I should be considered the manager."

The term "manager" is a unique club management system in Japan. Simply put, it is the person who arranges various matters for the club.

"Specifically speaking for us, it would be better to use 'agent', right?" Bai Ye said half seriously.

"Agent? That's a new term," Hongxia tilted her head and thought for a moment, "but it does seem a bit more appropriate than manager... Then it's settled! I, Ijichi Hongxia, will be Wildfire's agent!"

Bai Ye looked at the energetic Hong Xia and couldn't help but smile helplessly. Although he said, "You are the captain, you have the final say," Bai Ye knew in his heart that the title of "captain" was probably given to him by Hong Xia on a whim.

However, since he had promised to form a band, Bai Ye naturally would not go back on his word.

The three of them moved among the bustling crowd in the mall.

"This store feels great!" Hong Xia shouted excitedly, almost rushing into the musical instrument store called "ROCK INN".

The store looks unremarkable from the outside, sandwiched between a bunch of bright and shiny clothing stores, and seems a bit out of place. But once you step inside, a rich smell of leather, wood and metal hits you in the face, making you feel like you are in another world.

The walls of the shop are covered in a vast array of guitars, from classic Fender Stratocasters to outrageous Gibson Flying Vs. Amplifiers are stacked in the corners, like massive black towers. Glass cases display a variety of effects pedals, their colorful lights flashing as if beckoning customers.

Even Xiangzi, who was always calm, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"awesome……"

Shiro looked around and was impressed by the atmosphere of the store. He had visited many music stores before, but this one had a special feeling to him.
