The Godfather of Gaming in Daily Anime

It was expected that he would go on stage at around 7:30, but when Muto Yu arrived at Fanxing, it was already 6:50.

"Pochi, the president is here."

"Eh?"

Goto Ichiri, who had been staring at the screen of his mobile phone, afraid that Muto Yu would suddenly send him a message saying "I have something to do today, so I can't come", subconsciously raised his head after hearing Kita Ikuyo's reminder, and then saw the young man walking in from the door.

"Sorry, I was a little busy today and came a little late. I hope I didn't miss your performance?"

"Not yet. Counting the band on stage now, there are still two bands ahead of us."

Kita Ikuyo quickly replied, and Ijichi Seika, who noticed the situation here, walked over quickly.

"Good evening, Mr. Muto."

"Good evening, Manager Ijichi."

After greeting Muto Yu, Ijichi Hoshika also signaled Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo to take the other party to their band's lounge.

"By the way, please give me a ticket and a drink voucher."

"Well, it's okay if you don't have to buy a ticket, Mr. Muto."

"But it doesn't matter if you buy a ticket, does it?"

After all, it's just a small amount of money, there's no need to be greedy for these small bargains. Besides, it's okay not to buy a ticket once, but if you come again in the future and don't buy a ticket every time, Yijizhi Xingge will definitely be worried.

At Yu Muto's request, he finally bought the ticket, then used the drink redemption voucher and asked Ikuyo Kita to give him a glass of orange juice.

Chapter 168: Saying cruel words gently

Following Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo to the backstage lounge, Yamada Ryo was sitting in the lounge in a daze, while Ijichi Nikka was holding her drumstick and kept beating the non-existent drum set.

"Ah, President, you're here!"

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Ijichi Hongxia's attention was drawn to it. After seeing Muto Yu, she subconsciously showed a happy smile on her face.

However, behind the smile, there was also some unspeakable worry and panic hidden. Although Muto Yu noticed that there seemed to be something else in the other person's smile, he did not see what the true nature of that emotion was.

"Good evening, President."

The dazed Yamada Ryoya came back to his senses and nodded seriously to Muto Yu. Although his facial expression did not change much, he could feel the respect and gratitude the other person had for him.

"Good evening. It seems like everyone has made considerable progress recently. You all seem full of confidence."

"President, today's performance will definitely not disappoint you!"

Kita Ikuyo said with full energy that after systematic learning, her singing is no longer just based on her talent. A girl who uses various techniques will definitely be a good lead singer.

After all, all those years of singing karaoke were not in vain!

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Yu Muto sat down at the low table in the lounge and placed the orange juice he had bought with the drink exchange coupon on the table.

"Speaking of which, having to balance classes and band during this period, do you feel overwhelmed? If you encounter any problems or difficulties, you can talk to me."

"I feel okay. There's a bit of pressure, but I seem to have more energy these days than before. Balancing school and the band is manageable."

"What about the rest?"

After hearing Kita Ikuyo's answer, Muto You's eyes flickered slightly. If nothing unexpected happened, the other party's more energetic than before was probably the effect of the halo.

Moreover, this aura is the same as the potential enhancement aura. As long as you enjoy the benefits, you will be affected by the side effects in the same way.

Of course, this side effect is actually a good thing for Muto Yu.

"I am the same. Sometimes after staying up late, I can still be energetic when I go to learn a musical instrument the next day."

Yamada Ryo's words made Kita Ikuyo and the other two look helpless, and Ijichi Hongka persuaded them with great concern.

"It's cold, staying up late is a very bad habit. It will make you more prone to wrinkles, body shape and weight gain!"

"..."

The advice from Hongxia's mother was extremely effective. Not only Yamada Ryo, but also Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri who were standing next to them were shocked after hearing it.

For girls who love beauty, the three words "wrinkles", "body deformation" and "weight gain" are taboos.

Even Muto Yu looked at Ijichi Hongka in surprise, saying the coldest words in the gentlest tone.

However, Ijichi Hongxia's exaggeration was also out of good intentions, in order to make others deeply remember the harm of staying up late and to maintain a regular and healthy schedule as much as possible.

"I only go to bed at three o'clock occasionally, so I don't think it can be considered staying up late."

After hesitating for a while, Yamada Ryo said this, which caused Ijichi Hongka to complain.

"If it's any later, it'll be an all-nighter. How can this not count as staying up late?!"

"Indeed, staying up late is harmful to the body and increases the risk of sudden death. I remember Yamada's family owns a hospital, right? Shouldn't this be common sense?"

Muto Yuya joined in the admonition. Yamada Ryo really couldn't refute anything anymore, so he could only nod obediently and promise to go to bed early and get up early in the future.

"I'm fine too. This little bit of pressure is just a small problem for me!"

Ijichi Hongxia had a gentle smile on her face, but in the shadow beneath the smile, it seemed that some emotion was constantly surging and growing stronger.

After the three of them answered, only Goto Ichiri was left. The four of them focused their attention on the cherry-haired girl, and then saw her hesitate for a moment, and then spoke in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"I-I think my stress level should be okay. I listen carefully and take notes every day in class. With the help of the female psychologist the president hired, my social anxiety should have improved significantly."

"As long as there's progress, it's good. Since no one feels too much pressure, let's maintain the current pace for now and continue to work hard to improve ourselves."

After listening to the answers of the four people, Muto Yuya nodded with satisfaction, and then the topic gradually turned to work.

"The soundtrack for the game (Clannad) that was assigned to us before?"

When Ijichi Hongxia heard Muto Yu start asking about the progress of the work, she summarized the words briefly and there was no expression of panic or guilt on her face.

“The music has actually been completed. If the teachers evaluate it, it will get around 80 out of 100.

But the deadline the president gave us is next April, so we thought we could continue to rehearse the ensemble a few more times and maybe come up with a better version.”

The teacher the girl was referring to was naturally not a teacher at school, but the instructor hired by Muto Yu for the band. Through one-on-one coaching, he could improve their skills in related fields as quickly as possible.

"I see. Can you please let me hear the best version now?"

"of course."

Ijichi Hongxia took out her mobile phone and quickly operated on the screen for a while, and then Muto Yu received a private message file from the other party.

The sound insulation in the lounge is not bad, but it cannot withstand the fact that the bands on the stage are basically rock bands, and the sound is quite loud and has stronger penetrating power.

Therefore, the music played by the band on the stage can also be heard in the lounge, which has a certain impact on Yu Muto's audition of the game soundtrack.

Then, Kita Ikuyo on the side took out her wired headphones and handed them to Muto Yu.

"President, please use my headphones. This will reduce some of the outside noise."

"it is good."

He reached out to take the headphones provided by the other party, and then played the audio files sent by Ijichi Hongxia. He listened to several of them in a row. As an outsider, he did not hear anything discordant.

"Isn't this good? There's nothing awkward about it."

"But the teachers gave us a lot of suggestions for improvement. Some problems we can't solve right now, but there are some we think we can challenge. After all, the president gave us a long deadline."

Chapter 169: The Girls' Inner Worries

"Yeah, we're all in favor of polishing these songs to the best we can."

It has always been Ijichi Kouka who has been facing Muto Yu alone and answering the various questions he raised. Naturally, she has been under the greatest pressure. At this time, Kita Ikuyo also stepped forward and decided to share some of the pressure for the other party.

"It's a good thing to strive for excellence in your work, but you were only responsible for a few unimportant background music tracks for Clannad. Even so, did you still invest so much energy and time into it?"

"That's right. Even if it's just an insignificant part of the soundtrack, we won't let up even a little bit. We will prove that signing us and giving me a chance was not a wrong decision."

Yamada Ryoya stood up and spoke to Muto Yu. Goto Ichiri on the side looked at the three companions standing in front of him, and then chose to follow.

"That's it, we will never let the president down!"

"Excellent! Keep up this high standard and strict attitude. I believe that in the future, you will not be limited to this small live house, nor will you be limited to playing game soundtracks. So keep going, everyone."

Seeing the determined expressions of the four members of the band, Muto Yu was quite satisfied, and he would not hesitate to give them some verbal praise.

..............................

After chatting for a while, the band came on stage. Muto Yu came into the hall and watched the girls coming on stage.

Although he is still not very famous, he is not without fame. At least Goto Ichiri has attracted some passers-by fans with his strong personal strength.

Soon the girls began to perform, and their strength could be described as a completely transformed band, truly showing their brilliance.

Some audience members who did not know the band were gradually captivated by the girls' music and swayed slowly to the beat of the music.

After repeated running-in, the girls also showed quite good tacit understanding and stable strength, and Kita Ikuyo also showed off her singing voice.

The lyrics written by Ichiri Goto and the music produced by Ryo Yamada give off a lonely and desolate feeling, but this is exactly the characteristic of the band End.

After one song ends, there are second and third songs following it. According to Kita Ikuyo's own introduction, they are still original songs.

As an outsider, I don’t know whether the song and lyrics are good or not, but they do sound pretty good.

Isn't it enough for music to sound good?

Yu Muto is still unable to appreciate truly elegant music. The game itself is aimed at most ordinary people, and the audience in the hall is focused on the stage, listening attentively to the music they play, which has already proved something.

"Huh...you performed pretty well this time!"

"Indeed, Pochi didn't make any mistakes!"

After leaving the stage, Ijichi Nikka and Kita Ikuyo spoke one after another, causing Goto Ichiri to have a complicated expression on his face.

On the one hand, I feel happy about my own growth, but on the other hand, I also feel guilty for holding everyone back in the past.

In short, overall, Goto Ichiri's mood is mostly positive.

"Good! Keep up the good work, Pochi-chan!"

Yamada Ryoya had a smile on his face and gave Goto Ichiri a thumbs up.

"it is good."

After returning to the lounge, Muto Yu looked at the girls who were slightly out of breath, and an expression of appreciation appeared on his face.

"I think everyone's performance today was quite good, and I really like this style. Although it's somewhat different from mainstream inspirational and passionate styles, it's more important to have your own unique style."

After hearing Yu Muto's comments, the girls couldn't help but smile.

They were very happy to give their all on stage and were excited to receive the recognition and cheers from the audience.

But compared with the recognition from Muto Yu, the first two are nothing. The hard training and efforts during this period have finally not been in vain!

In addition to being happy, the four members who ended the band also felt a sense of relief in their hearts. They actually went on stage to perform with a lot of pressure.

In addition to proving themselves and not disappointing Muto Yu, everyone has their own worries.

Ijichi Hongka is the captain and drummer, but her talent is the lowest among the four members of the band.

As mentioned before, the higher the potential of the potential enhancement aura, the greater the speed of additional enhancement. In other words, the strong will become stronger at a faster rate, while the weak can only catch up at a faster rate.

The gap between the two will become larger and larger, and the feeling of watching others gradually move away from you, and even if you try your best, you can only watch the other person's back disappear from your sight, is a kind of despair that is difficult to describe in words.

Before going on stage, Ijichi Hongka was worried that Muto Yu would notice that her skills were improving the slowest and kick her out of the band.

But now seeing the other party's satisfied look, such worries can finally be put aside temporarily.

Yamada Ryo also had her own concerns before going on stage. Unlike the other three members of the Ending Band, she had formed a band with others before and had become a little famous for a while.

It was during that period that Kita Ikuyo idolized him.

Since the original band was also very popular for a while, why did Yamada Ryo join the End Band now?

The reason was that there were huge disagreements within the band. In the beginning, everyone wrote their own lyrics and music. Those were the band's own style of music. Everyone created together, shared interesting stories in life, and performed on stage together.

Even though they could only act as a warm-up band and be cannon fodder in a sense, Yamada Ryo still felt that it was a very happy and wonderful time.

But misfortune soon came. Although Yamada Ryo felt very happy with this kind of life, the other members of the band were not rich second-generation like her after all.

Faced with the current situation where the band has been unable to become famous and earn appearance fees for a long time, others can only seek change. This is what is called "when you are in trouble, you must think of change."

Then the first song imitating the mainstream music style appeared, abandoning the original band's youthful and honest style and turning towards a more commercial mainstream style.

This is nothing wrong, and with this change, the band gained popularity, but then they never looked back in the mainstream music genre.
