MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

"Chihaya-san, if you don't mind, would you like to play in a band with me?"

"We want to play Afterglow's song!"

“Looking for another guitarist!”

On the first day after transferring to another school, Chihaya Aine tried hard to integrate into the class. At noon, she found a small group to discuss based on the difficulty of the strategy. The effect was very good. She could feel that she had begun to be regarded as a member of the collective by everyone in the class.

Aine's interpersonal radar as a super-popular student council president in junior high school echoed "Smooth sailing ahead"!

When the school bell rang and the classmates picked up their instruments and prepared to leave in groups of three or four, Aine's "anti-social alarm" let out a hoarse wail.

So, Aiyin asked the Traffic Light trio who had lunch with her at noon, "Are you playing in a band?", and got the reply, "Everyone in Class A except Xiao Deng is playing in a band", and at the same time received a warm invitation from the trio to join the team.

only……

I just mentioned that my previous position was guitar and vocals, but now it seems that I can only be a rhythm guitarist who is ranked last in importance and has almost no chance to be the highlight...

Aiyin imagined the four of them standing on the stage performing a live show, the other three were playing their instruments passionately, and she was standing in an unnoticed corner as a rhythm guitarist, reduced to a mere sight on the side of the road.

How could Chihaya Aine, who once charmed an entire grade of girls and was surrounded by crowds of people every time after class, bear such a future?

"Thank you, I'll think about it first..." Aine put on a good face and forced a smile.

Before Aine could utter the final word "just a moment", the door of Class A of the first year was suddenly slammed open with a loud bang.

"Hello everyone!"

The girl with short gray hair rushed in as if she was floating in mid-air, holding a red lottery box in her hands, speaking as if she had pressed the slow motion button.

"Ah!!! It's Aoba Moka-senpai from Afterglow!"

"I remember that the senior was in Class A of Grade 3. She's so handsome!!"

The traffic light trio who were just inviting Aine to join the team immediately turned into fans when they saw the gray-haired senior floating all the way from the gate to the podium, and the pink hearts in their eyes seemed to be about to jump out.

"Afterglow?" Aine silently repeated the name in her heart.

Absolutely... never heard of it!

But judging by the excitement of the other students in the class, it seems that this band is very popular, at least in Class A of Grade 1...

That's awesome! I want to be a band idol too!

This way, no matter where I go in school, I can receive everyone's admiring gazes... hehe...

Aine, who had just transferred into the class, was very conscious of her public image. She completely controlled her increasingly outrageous fantasies within her own little mental theater, with only a curious expression on her face.

"Everyone! Come and listen to me!"

Aoba Moka, who was sitting on the podium, put the lottery box down with a "pop" and said in her slow-motion voice:

"Circle, the liveh shop where we at Afterglow hang out, has opened a second location in Ikebukuro. It's called RiNG!"

"They're having a new store discount right now. The rooms and equipment are all brand new. If you can't get a spot at Circle, you can go and give it a try."

"Ah, the next line is..."

"RiNG is holding a thank-you event! Everyone can draw a ticket and redeem the prize at RiNG! Even the thank-you prize is a Michelle doll pendant!"

The classroom immediately erupted in warm cheers, and the girls surrounded Aoba Moka on the podium, rubbing their hands in anticipation.

Takamatsu Deng, who was fiddling with the red and blue magnets on the blackboard, was almost pushed out of the classroom door before he could react.

Don’t ask whether there will be problems with insider theft of lottery tickets. This is the beautiful Bang Bang world, and even petty theft only occurs because it is necessary for the plot.

"Ain, come along!" The traffic light trio called out to Ain and then quickly joined the queue waiting for the lottery tickets.

"Eh?"

Aine blinked, and then noticed that the group favorite, Takamatsu Deng, was the only one in the classroom who hadn't started lining up yet.

"Xiao Deng! Let's go try our luck together!"

Before Takamatsu Deng could finish the words stuck in his throat, Aine, who had her own traction field, led him to the end of the team.

"Hey hey hey, I won the third prize! Senior, what is the third prize?"

Aoba Moka glanced at the instructions on her side of the raffle box and said, "Hmm...it's a ten-hour karaoke ticket."

"Woo woo, I'm so lucky today! I saw Aoba-senpai alive and even got a karaoke ticket!"

"Hey, why do I only have to say thank you for your patronage? I'll pick up Michelle's pendant when I get home."

Finally, the last two people in the long line were photographed.

Aoba Mocha looked at the shy Takamatsu Deng, a mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he handed the lottery box to Takamatsu Deng.

"I...uh..."

Gao Songdeng closed his eyes and took out a lottery ticket from the lottery box.

Aoba Mocha saw the first stroke below the coating of Gao Song Deng and pointed it out directly: "Another thank you for your patronage."

"It's my turn, it's my turn! Senior!"

Aine raised her hand, showing her little canine teeth and grinning at Aoba Moka.

Aoba Moka narrowed her eyes slightly: "Hmm... Interesting, let me see how you end up."

So, Aine put her hands together, blew on them, and then reached her right hand into the lottery box. After stirring it around, she pulled out the ticket that she intuitively thought was the most special.

The girls who hadn’t left the classroom gathered around Aine, their eyes showing different expressions.

Having never enjoyed such attention and expectation from everyone since high school, Aine let out a sound of comfort from the bottom of her heart.

“God bless you!”

Aine clasped her hands together, solemnly making a prayer gesture, while at the same time stalling for a few more seconds to enjoy the eager gazes of others.

"Hey!"

Aine slowly scratched the lottery ticket layer with her fingernails, and when the first stroke appeared, Aoba Moka's eyes, which had already been slack, immediately widened.

"Oh...that's amazing, this is a result I haven't seen today."

Aine scratched the small lottery ticket for more than ten seconds, and the final result made the entire classroom burst into disbelief and cheers as if the roof had been lifted off.

"First prize, first prize! Everyone, I won first prize!"

Aine held the lottery ticket high up and took small steps to show it to her classmates three times.

“Aine-san’s luck is incredible…”

"Maybe it would be helpful to have Aine participate in the group draw for this year's sports meet?"

"Aine, come with me to the lottery station!"

Aiyin held the lottery ticket in one hand and gently touched her hair with the other, grinning foolishly, "Hehehe." Her facial expression control throughout her high school career failed before it lasted even a day.

"Senior." Takamatsu Deng was secretly happy for Aine, while clenching his fists and asked nervously:

"What's the first prize?"

"Oh, let me see." Qingye Mocha kept it a secret, lifted the lottery box high, and then said with a "humph":

"Two tickets to the RAS Shibuya Live Show! Oh, what a shame! I didn't win the grand prize, the Gibson guitar."

Compared to Ai Yin, who was clueless and only knew that the ticket was definitely more expensive than the pendant, the group of half-baked band-playing girls in the classroom were much crazier.

"Ahhh! Those are the tickets for the RAS special! I waited until the wee hours for the tickets to go on sale, and they were gone in a second!"

"Ano-chan, I'll pay double the price for the extra one!"

It seems like another popular band?

Sure enough, if you want to be popular in class and school, you still have to play in a band!

Aine once again realized how popular the activity of "forming a band" is in Haneda.

Then, Aine came to her senses and grabbed Takamatsu Touma’s hands.

“Aine…-san?”

"Xiao Deng! Let's go together! Let's go watch the live show together!"

Chapter 11 If I Become Rich One Day

"Search, Xianjuan Consortium..."

In the bedroom with the lights off, Nagasaki Suyo was typing on the keyboard in front of the computer, searching for information about the fan who had come to meet her earlier and seemed not to love the band as purely as she had initially thought.

The moonlight shone on her face, making her look sad and a little haggard.

"Xianjuan Department Store, Xianjuan Digital, Xianjuan Technology, Xianjuan Medical..."

Rows of search results with Xianjuan's name on them flashed before Su Shi's eyes, followed by the estimated assets of various large groups.

"Even if we only count the controlling market value of some of the listed companies under Xianjuan Digital and Xianjuan Medical, it's still more than Xiaoxiang's total assets... right?"

Before today, Su Shi just instinctively felt that he seemed to hear the name of the Xianjuan Group from time to time, but he never had a sufficiently intuitive understanding of the energy behind this name.

Now she sees it.

The two giant multinational groups, Xianjuan Digital and Xianjuan Medical, are just two of the means by which the Xianjuan family uses its name to attract attention - there are too many industries related to the Xianjuan family, and if there were no obvious industries at all, it would be like treating netizens as fools.

The Xianjuan family does not directly use the name "Xianjuan", but instead uses multiple layers of transnational cross-holdings and shell companies to pull out some of its industries. This is also the level of fabrication that can only be made up by marketing accounts with no bottom line to attract attention. However, enthusiastic netizens do not need to know so much. It is enough to focus on the industries that are openly named "Xianjuan" to attract attention.

Even if we only look at the equity portion of listed companies that can be directly counted by Xianjuan Digital and Xianjuan Medical, it has already exceeded the outside world's estimated asset level of Fengchuan Group.

As for the industries that did not choose to go public due to reasons such as not lacking money or having no need, it is impossible to accurately count them. We can only guess vaguely through the financial reports of companies in the relevant industrial chain. However, these are the main types of industries under the name of the Xianjuan Group.

Su Shi closed the webpage that was making her dizzy after reading the rows of industrial data, and entered the keyword "heir to the Xianjuan Group" into the search engine.

Sure enough, just like what that fake fan who didn't seem to be interested in reuniting the idol group said, there was no useful information at all...

The search results are full of spam messages like "What's the matter with the heir of the Genjumaki Group? Everyone knows the Genjumaki Group, so what's going on? Today I will show you. In fact, no one knows who the heir of the Genjumaki Group is. You may ask why, but this is the fact, and I am also surprised."

There was even a conspiracy theory that was popular more than a decade ago, that "the Genjumaki Group was manipulating Japan behind the scenes and controlled more than half of the world's wealth." However, a few years later, it was turned against and ridiculed as an "IQ tester."

"Judging from Xiaomu's reaction... Xiaoxiang must not have left Tokyo yet. With Genjumaki-san's power, it should be easy to find someone in Tokyo who hasn't lost touch with society, right?"

"But why did he reject my invitation and tell that nonsense story..."

"wrong!"

Astonishing wisdom raced through Nagasaki Suyo's mind.

"What he hinted at couldn't be more obvious. He's afraid that his excessive concern will cause trouble for Xiaoxiang... Is this love?"

"Because I love Xiaoxiang so much, I don't want to ruin her life. I just want to silently bless her..."

"Indeed, he also said that he was attracted to crychic because of Xiaoxiang."

But something called "human nature" in Su Shi's mind told her that this direction was very problematic.

Based on her experience of watching works including but not limited to "The Moon is Beautiful Tonight", "I Lost to My Childhood Genius with a Bad Personality and Had Everything Taken Away for the First Time", and "Things About Buying Classmates Once a Week ~ Our Time, an Excuse of 5,000 Yuan~", if the villainous daughter of a super consortium wanted to pursue a girl, she probably wouldn't be so cautious and fearful.

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but put herself in the role of "Genmaki Suyo" and began to think about how to pursue Xiangzi, who was as pure and kind as the white moonlight, if she had a wealth that was obviously several times richer than the Toyokawa family.

Then her thoughts quickly shifted from "Romantic Confessions in the Sky Treetops" to "50 Million Yen Once a Week to Buy Shoko's Time" and even to the set of "In the Tsuki no Mori, You Can't Leave the Basement Without Doing It"...

No! This isn't me!

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly woke up and patted her head to dispel the nonsense thoughts.

However, she seemed to understand a little bit of Xianjuan Wei's state of mind and concerns of "carrying a sharp weapon and having the desire to kill".

If I also had the ability to help everyone solve all their problems easily, everyone in crychic would definitely be able to happily form a band for the rest of their lives...

"Heh... a young master from a super consortium becoming a fan of a band that only had one live performance, this is something that only happens in comics."

"He probably still likes Xiaoxiang, but he doesn't want to ruin the image he has in Xiaoxiang's heart... That's right, Xiaoxiang is an angel sent to me by a malicious god. Who in this world wouldn't like Xiaoxiang..."

"In other words, our goals are probably the same, right?"

"As long as we can reunite everyone in crychic, even if everyone has their own lives, that's perfectly fine. If Xianjuan wants to pursue Xiaoxiang, what should I do..."

"For someone like him who's so cautious and afraid of hurting Xiaoxiang's gentleness, I... probably can accept him joining Xiaoxiang's life."

"As long as Crychic can reunite, I will bless them. But the idea of ​​a sixth member for Crychic was really impulsive and ill-considered. Crychic is our family of five, and we can't allow one more or one less!"

Su Shi's eyes turned to the live invitation placed in front of the keyboard. The text and logo treated with luminous light emitted a slight fluorescence.

"Ah... going to a live show with a boy I've only met once, what the hell did I do, idiot!"
