People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

Su Shi was a little surprised to see Asagi coming with them. She walked over and stood in front of Asagi, looking at him with some resentment, "Why is Asagi here with Xiao Deng and Aine?"

Asagi noticed Su Shi's abnormality and thought for a while.

"Because we are in the same school, and I came here to talk to Su Shi about something, so I followed them."

"Hmm? You have something to tell me?" Although Su Shi was still a little skeptical, she smiled happily when she heard that Asagi wanted her help. "What is it? Is it too much?"

"Ahem," Asagi coughed twice. Instead of answering Su Shi's question immediately, he looked at the five CRYCHIC members present.

"Can I invite you to join the firm?" Asagi looked at them seriously.

At first, no one understood what Asagi meant. They stood there, looking at each other, bewildered. After a while, everyone finally realized that an agency was inviting them.

Several people looked at each other in astonishment, not knowing how to start.

An agency invitation would officially mark their arrival as a professional band. They'd clearly already decided on their professional career path, but no agency had offered them a deal. They were aware of their own abilities, and they were still just trying to make a living, without the time to stage numerous live performances or attract fans.

No agency would hire a band with only a few hundred fans. Everyone knew it, but no one said it out loud.

"Our firm's salaries may not be that high, and we're still in its infancy, having only recently been established. In short, there are many problems, and we don't have many resources to offer you. However, despite this, I still shamelessly hope that everyone will join our firm. I want to work hard with you, persevere, and walk into the Budokan together."

Asagi looked at everyone at CRYCHIC.

"Besides that, I would also like to say that everyone has the right to refuse, and I won't be angry. But, I still want everyone to consider it seriously." Asagi lowered his head and made a requesting gesture.

The women were bewildered by Asagi's sudden request. They looked at each other, unsure how to respond. It was clearly the invitation they'd longed for, but now that it was in front of them, they hesitated.

"Your agency? Do you mean the same agency as Ms. MMK?" Chihaya Aine asked cautiously.

"Yeah," Asagi nodded.

Seeing Asagi's answer, Chihaya Aine relaxed a little.

"I agree!" Gao Songdeng raised his hand and agreed without hesitation. Everyone else immediately turned to look at Gao Songdeng.

"I want to work hard with Asagi, and I also want to form a band with everyone for life," said Takamatsu Deng.

Su Shi's expression was a little complicated. The moment Gao Songdeng raised his hand, she also raised her hand.

"I agree," Sushi said succinctly. "Everyone needs the firm's help, and besides Asagi, I don't think any other firm would want to hire us right now. Besides these, everyone's favorite 486 is also there. If we were all in the same firm, we could see each other more often, chatting, dining, and having afternoon tea together."

Su Shi's reasons seemed sufficient.

After Takamatsu Deng expressed her stance, Shiina Riki naturally couldn't resist. She didn't have a good agency in mind, and she also understood the band's current strength and level. Having an agency willing to hire them was already a huge opportunity.

"Well, in that case, I agree."

Seeing Shiina Riki give in, Chihaya Aine beside her also made a decision and raised her hand.

The only person left was Kaname, who was sitting there, completely oblivious to the situation. She had just come back to her senses from her delicious food when she realized everyone was staring at her.

"Hmm, huh? Hmm?" Kaname tilted her head, looking dazed.

"Why, everyone is looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

Everyone looked helpless and had to repeat the story to Yao Le Nai. Yao Le Nai kept nodding and tilting her head, as if she understood, but also as if she didn't understand at all. She just smiled at everyone and said,

"It seems interesting. Lenai wants to join in."

With that, the agency had finally signed its second band. Asagi took a deep breath, a sense of relief washing over him. The problem he'd been worrying about was solved, and it only made him feel a little relieved.

"Well, that's it. Miss Miura Shiomi will discuss the specific details and the contract with you. Tomorrow is Sunday, so let's make an appointment tomorrow morning. I'll take you to see the current situation of the office, but don't have too high expectations."

Asagi first poured a basin of cold water on them to cool them down, so as to prevent them from having too high expectations.

"There's one more thing to do." Asagi looked across at Shiina Riki, staring straight at her. Shiina Riki noticed Asagi looking at her, and her body couldn't help but lean back slightly, feeling a little timid.

"Lixi, have you booked a practice room?"

"Yes." Shiina Riki nodded.

"That's good." Asagi pulled out his phone, which contained the PV video for "Gurenge" he had prepared. Takamatsu Deng had already seen the video, but now they had the audio for "Gurenge."

One of Asagi's purposes for coming to the LiveHouse "RiNG" was to help Takamatsu Tou record the song "Gurenhua".

"What's this?" Chihaya Aine came closer curiously. Suze was also drawn to Asagi's phone and stared at it. However, the phone in front of her was still locked, so she couldn't see anything inside.

It's so urgent, Su Shi frowned slightly, and finally saw Asagi's mobile phone, but couldn't see what was inside.

"Let's go to the practice room first. I'll show you there," Asagi said.

Chapter 289 Come and help

After arriving at the practice room, Asagi played the "Demon Slayer" PV on his mobile phone for others to watch.

On the phone, Tanjiro, Shinobu Kocho, and Nezuko showed action scenes that were far more exciting than science fiction blockbusters and various pictures full of imagery. These were things that Su Shi and Riki had never seen before.

They stared at their phones and looked at each other.

"Is this an animation? But it's a little different." Li Xi looked at the PV on his mobile phone and had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Separately, Sushi looked at Li Xi and agreed with her. Lenai, on the other hand, had actually taken advantage of everyone's discussion and grabbed the phone in front of her, holding it in front of her eyes, happily looking at the PV inside.

"Great, Lenai likes it." Lenai held the phone and smiled as if a kitten saw something it liked.

Asagi was naturally happy about Rakuna's behavior. It was great to get everyone's approval. But,

"Hey, Lenai." Su Shi shouted at Lenai loudly, and the expression on his face suddenly became gloomy.

Not only Kaname Rakuna, but also Aine and Riki beside her felt the terrifying pressure. Aine was so frightened that she became numb and dared not move. Riki, on the other hand, quickly stepped forward to block Kaname Rakuna, using his body to dissipate the pressure from Sushi.

Kaname realized she'd done something wrong, and she felt a little downcast but obedient. She reluctantly put Asagi's phone back where it belonged. After all, she was still in junior high, having just gotten out of children's anime, so she might still watch it occasionally.

"It's okay, Su Shi, there's no need to be so... fierce..."

Asagi was about to persuade Su Shi to be a little more tolerant. However, when he saw Su Shi's cold eyes turned to stare at him, a chill blew on the back of his neck. Faced with Su Shi in this state, he could only take a few steps back.

Throughout the entire game, the only person who was not afraid of this form was Tatsuki Shiina.

"Not fierce, not fierce at all... Lenai-chan, next time tell me in advance and I'll give you permission."

Asagi laughed awkwardly.

"Well, for example, now, take it and look at it."

Asagi then handed the phone to Kaname Rakuna. Rakuna took the phone from Asagi and sat there excitedly, holding it and watching the PV over and over again. Although Sushi was a little unhappy, she had no reason or excuse to get angry and had to accept the situation.

"You all dote on her so much." Su Shi said in a reproachful tone.

"She's still a child," Asagi replied. Sushi had no choice but to give up.

After this little hiccup, everyone in the practice room perked up. Asagi's creation was met with widespread acclaim: a brand-new and astonishing video. Everyone agreed it was a good fit for promoting "Gurenge."

"Maybe I can catch up with Xiangzi this time." Shiina Riki thought seriously.

"We'll take this seriously."

Asagi wasn't optimistic about Riki's optimism. Ave Mujica's strength stems not only from their own strengths, but also from their casting and the deep pockets behind them. This is a truly powerful combination, allowing them to achieve heights in a short period of time that others would struggle to achieve in years.

For example, Ave Mujica's debut was on a large stage that could accommodate thousands of people, a stage that many bands have fought for many years to reach.

"Well, next. Deng, we will keep practicing with you until we can record the best audio." Shiina Riki looked at Takamatsu Deng beside him.

Gao Songdeng nodded.

"Hehe, I'll try my best to help too," Chihaya Aine giggled. However, Shiina Ritsuki gave her a suspicious look, and Aine instantly became unhappy. She pouted, "Don't always doubt me. I've studied with Takeda-senpai. Even she praised my rapid progress and said that I can now keep up with everyone else."

"Is that so?" Shiina Riki looked at Aine with some distrust.

Aine looked at everyone in frustration and asked for help, "Ritsuki is bullying me again."

"Okay, okay," Asagi said. "Everyone, don't waste time. Let's record the audio as soon as possible. Then I'll make a new video and upload it online as soon as possible. MY ALL's homepage has a lot of views right now, so I'll use it to promote it."

Asagi stepped aside, clearing the space. Bassist Suyo, guitarists Aine and Lenai, and drummer Riki were all in the lead vocals. They all took their positions, ready to begin.

??? It seems we are missing a keyboard player.

Now that I know why I'm strong, please take me forward.

Intoxicated by the stubborn heart of the muddy revolving lantern

The lamp released a completely different self from before, and she tried her best

After the song ended, everyone paused, looking expectantly at Asagi. Asagi remained silent, and the atmosphere brought a sense of dejection to the others.

"Isn't that enough? Let's try again. This kind of thing can't be successful in one go." Shiina Riki comforted the lamp beside him.

Chihaya Aine and Suyo both nodded. Deng also nodded, saying it was okay and that he could keep trying.

Asagi kept trying, but still couldn't get the result he wanted. Deng's voice was already very close, so even if there were a few differences, it wouldn't be a big deal. There wasn't an original version, and no one had anything to compare it to, so Deng's voice was the original.

But the live performance was much worse, far from enough. Not only was there a lack of a keyboard player, but also the guitar sound effects were not good enough, and there were not enough drummers.

After trying for over two hours, Asagi still couldn't achieve the desired effect. He lowered his head, thinking. The enthusiasm of Suyo, Riki, and Aine had faded considerably, and Deng, too, had gone from being so confident just now to feeling discouraged.

Seeing everyone's frustrated expressions, Asagi didn't intend to blame them. They had already tried their best, but was the career path still too difficult?

"It's not everyone's fault. It could be something else." Asagi walked to the corner of the practice room, leaned against the wall, and listened to the audio he had recorded over and over again. The effect was really not good enough. It lacked the passion and unrestrainedness of the original. It also lacked the courage to ignite everything and move forward courageously.

Everyone lowered their heads, as if they had lost confidence, and Deng's expression was full of self-blame.

"Wait a minute." Asagi raised his hand. "I'll find a way."

He opened his phone and found MMK and the others, and sent a message in the chat group.

"Come and help us, we need you."

For a moment, many question marks popped up in the group.

"???" "???" "???"

Chapter 290 Don’t Go to Bed Too Early

"Location: LiveHouse "RiNG". MMK, 486, Rupa, Xiaozhi and Nina, please come and help." Asagi called people in the chat group.

They all raised question marks.

"Deng and I are recording the audio here, but the quality is so poor. So, I plan to enhance the sound effects by increasing the number of people."

"almost there."

"It just so happens that I need to go there too."

"receive."

"wait for me."

Asagi's face lit up with a wide smile. He felt that the people he had trained were the most reliable. Not only was this kind of thing not discussed in advance, it was also very troublesome and had no benefit. Unless they were close friends, most people wouldn't be willing to help.

"Have you thought of a solution?" Su Shi asked in a low voice, looking at Asagi's smile.

Asagi chuckled and walked in front of Su Shi, getting very close to her.

"Of course."

He turned around, faced everyone, and said happily, "I've found a solution. I sent a message to MMK and the others for help, and they agreed to come back soon. I want everyone to play together to enhance the sound. This way, the effect will be much better, and maybe I can achieve the result I want."

There is no doubt that this approach is feasible.

Li Xi lowered her head, pondering for a moment, then nodded, agreeing with Asagi's approach. The brains of the CRYCHIC band rested largely in Li Xi's hands, and after her approval, the others had few objections. Instead, the gloom on their faces began to dissipate, for not only had the issue been resolved, but they could now play with MMK and the others.

This is a very remarkable thing.

"Are Miss MMK and the others coming? We can see everyone again." Chihaya Aine giggled.

They hadn't even bothered to practice "Shining in the Storm" in the fourth-floor practice room after receiving Asagi's distress call. Now that everyone was living together, 4 could choose to go home or sleep here. There were double beds on the upper and lower floors, so there were plenty of space for her.

After a few people simply packed up their equipment, they headed to the LiveHouse "RiNG".

Asagi and the others waited for about an hour before MMK and the others arrived at the LiveHouse "RiNG". During this time, Riki and the others tried several more times, but none of them achieved the effect Asagi expected.

"It's really not possible." Li Xi sighed.

"It's probably a problem of the number of people. 'Gurenge' is different from ordinary songs. It needs enough sound effects to express emotions. Not only the lead singer, but the accompaniment is equally important." Asagi counseled Riki. Shiina Riki was also very clear about this matter, but he was a little stuck in a dead end for a while.

When MMK and the others came in, they brought their equipment with them. Instruments like guitars and keyboards are relatively easy to carry, but drum sets are more difficult to bring along. Unless it's a major performance that requires advance planning, they usually use the equipment at the live venue.
