The Godfather of Gaming in Daily Anime

So Yamada Ryo felt discouraged, and after a big quarrel, he left with the famous saying "If you lose your individuality, it's like being dead."

Chapter 170: How to spend the performance fee?

Before going on stage, what Yamada Ryo was worried about was whether the band's current style would be recognized by Muto Yu.

If Yuu Muto insists that the band's performance style must be closer to mainstream music after it ends, it will be quite painful for Ryo Yamada.

Fortunately, the worst did not happen. Muto Yu not only recognized the unique style of the End Band, but also praised it highly.

While eliminating the worries in Yamada Ryo's heart, it also made the other party's favorability towards him soar.

The pressure that Kita Ikuyo felt when she went on stage was much less than that of the previous two. As the latest member to join the band, she urgently needed a good performance to prove her worth.

Goto Ichiri was worried that he might make a mistake at a critical moment and implicate others. However, his performance this time was quite good and there were no mistakes.

"I've thought about it, and I've learned that your abilities have improved significantly, so your salaries will be increased. In addition, you can now accept business orders."

"Eh? Taking business orders? Going to participate in a commercial performance?!"

"Yes."

Muto Yu nodded with a smile, confirming Kita Ikuyo's question, and the other members of the band all showed expressions of anticipation and excitement on their faces.

"Regarding issues like the band's commercial performances, the relevant details have already been noted in the previous contract. You just need to follow the contract."

Although according to the contract, most of the appearance fees from each commercial performance of the band would be divided up by Yu Muto, but his early investment in the training of the girls was there, and coupled with his kindness, the girls had no objection to this.

“Everyone’s performance today was great!”

PA-san followed Ijichi Xingge into the lounge. Such straightforward praise could not have been uttered by a certain arrogant and proud blonde queen.

"Don't get complacent too soon, but... you did a pretty good job today."

This is what Ijichi Hoshige would say. It is obvious that only the second half of the sentence would be enough, but the dishonest queen insisted on saying the first half.

However, the girls who had just finished their band were already used to such a store manager, so the smiles on their faces became even more intense.

"By the way, this is your appearance fee today."

In the Starry Performance, there is no need to share the performance fee with Muto Yu, and of course even if you do, you won’t get much.

Even if a small live house is very popular, the size of the performance hall limits the number of spectators.

That is to say, there is a cap on Fanxing’s daily income. The store will take most of it, and the rest will be divided among many bands.

In the end, the amount left in the hands of each member of the band was only about 10,000 or 20,000 yen, which was secretly given by the store manager, Ijichi Hoshika.

“Performance fee!”

Yamada Ryo immediately took the performance fee, counted it and gave it 50,000 yen, and then...

"One for Nijiga, one for Kita, and one for Pochi. Okay, we're done."

"Wait...wait, how did you get 20,000?"

"Where is the 20,000? I didn't see it."

Ijichi Hongka immediately ran over, grabbed the shoulders of Yamada Ryo, who wanted to give out 10,000 yen openly, and shook him hard.

This kind of playful atmosphere is so good that Yu Muto and PA-san beside them subconsciously smiled.

"Appearance fee..."

Goto Ichiri looked at the 10,000 yen bill in his hand, blinked, walked to Muto Yu's side, bowed suddenly 90 degrees, and presented the bill in his hand with both hands.

"Mr. President, this is my performance fee for today."

"what?"

This action made Muto Yu slightly stunned. Ijichi Hongka and Yamada Ryo, who were playing around, stopped what they were doing. Everyone present subconsciously looked over.

"What are you doing for me?"

"Don't we have to hand over most of the performance fees?"

After Muto Yu helped Goto Ichiri up, the latter asked back in confusion, which made him feel a little amused.

"The performance fee you earned on Fanxing is the only exception, so you don't have to give it to me. Besides, this is your first income on stage, so it's very memorable, so keep it for yourself."

“It’s the first one.”

Although the four of them performed on stage during the summer vacation, Ijichi Xingge did not pay them performance fees. Instead, he paid for them to have a celebratory banquet.

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

After chatting for a while, Ijichi Xingge and PA-san left the lounge again. After all, they had to be watched outside, especially since the former was the store manager and ticket seller, and the latter was the sound engineer.

After the girls had played around, they sat at the low table. Yamada Ryoya took out 7,500 yen in change from his pocket and divided it equally among Ijichi Hongka and the other two.

"Speaking of which, how do you all plan to spend your first income?"

Ijichi Hongka looked at the 12,500 yen performance fee in her hand and said with some curiosity.

“Buy a beautiful dress.”

This is the answer from Kita Ikuyo. Should we say that she is worthy of being a real person?

"Buy a new guitar."

This was the answer from Ichiri Goto. Her high school's school festival was still some time away, and Muto Yu had previously hired a guitar teacher to teach her, which included knowledge on instrument maintenance.

So her guitar is not scrapped yet, but its condition is indeed not very optimistic. After all, it is the guitar that Goto's father used in the band when he was young, and she has used it intensively for three years.

"My favorite band has released a new album, and I can use this money to buy it."

This is the answer from Yamada Ryo.

“Does everyone plan to spend it directly?”

Ijichi Hongxia listened to the answers of the other three people and scratched her head, and then Yamada Ryo beside her noticed her hesitation.

"Don't you know how to spend it?"

"Well, I'm a little unsure what to buy. After all, it's the first performance fee I've earned on stage."

"Don't worry, if you don't know how to spend them, just give them to me and I will help you spend them."

"Never!"

Hearing Yamada Ryo's joke, Ijichi Hongxia rolled her eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked Muto Yu who was standing beside her.

"What did the president do when he earned his first income?"

"Me? I saved it. Now it seems like it was used to acquire a gaming company."

This answer is not without any reference value for Ijichi Hongxia. Although she cannot do the second half, she has no problem with the first half.

"Okay, I've decided. I'll save it for now."

Chapter 171: Pochi: Fare?

For the girls who ended their band, the monthly salary they received from working for Yu Muto and the performance fees they received from performing on stage obviously have more special meaning to them.

After all, the stage is the place that the girls in the band most yearn for.

After Fanxing closed, everyone went to a nearby izakaya to celebrate. Although Muto Yu had already eaten dinner, the girls invited him so as not to spoil everyone's fun.

Nothing else happened at the celebration. Everyone had a happy dinner together and then it dispersed.

However, since Goto Ichiri's home was quite far away, to be on the safe side, Muto Yu simply went to send him home.

"Where are we going? Isn't the tram station turning left?"

After turning right with Muto Yu at a certain intersection, Goto Ichiri immediately had countless questions in her mind, and countless different answers soon appeared in the girl's mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Goto Ichiri opened his mouth, wanting to ask Muto Yu why he was walking in the opposite direction of the tram station.

And Muto Yuya seemed to be aware of the girl's gaze. He turned his head to look at Goto Ichiri who was following him closely with a face full of confusion and hesitation.

"What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

"No, it's okay."

She was imagining that the other party would take her to a hotel, and then this and that, and finally she would have to drop out of high school because of pregnancy before marriage, but when she heard Muto Yu's question, she quickly shook her head vigorously.

However, Goto Ichiri's imagination was almost never accurate, and coupled with her surprising train of thought, even Muto Yu could not guess what she was thinking.

Since the other party refused to speak, Muto Yu naturally would not force him to speak. He continued to lead the way and then came to the parking lot.

Yu Muto stopped in front of his motorcycle, while Ichiri Goto, who was distracted and imagining another possibility, just subconsciously glanced at his heels with the corner of his eyes and followed closely behind.

As a result, Goto Ichiri, who was not paying attention, did not react immediately to the fact that the person he was following had stopped. By the time he reacted, it was already too late.

A soft touch came from his back. Goto Ichiri was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and quickly took two steps back.

"I'm sorry, I was distracted just now."

"fine……"

Rather, it should be Yu Muto who says "thank you for the treat". Looking back, there doesn't seem to be anything remarkable about the figure under the pink tracksuit. It can only be said that the other party is hiding it too well.

"Okay, get in the car, I'll take you home."

"Eh? A motorcycle?!"

Only then did Goto Ichiri realize that he had unknowingly followed Muto Yu to the parking lot, and a motorcycle was parked not far away.

"Is there anything strange?"

"Shouldn't a big shot like the president drive a luxury car like a sports car?"

"Do you want to listen to what you're saying? I'm only sixteen, and I can only get a motorcycle driver's license. I can't drive the sports car even if I buy it, so I can't just leave it there and let it gather dust."

Only then did Goto Ichiri remember that Muto Yu in front of her was actually just a high school student like herself. The other party's fame and status always made her subconsciously forget this.

"Okay, hurry up and get in the car, it's getting late."

Muto Yu got on the motorcycle, started it, and then reminded Goto Ichiri who seemed to be distracted and imagining something again.

"Ah? Yes, I'm so sorry. I was distracted again."

Goto Ichiri quickly got on the motorcycle, and then subconsciously imitated what he saw on TV, stretched out his hands and directly hugged Muto Yu's waist.

The touch that he had just glimpsed appeared again on Muto Yu's back. Naturally, he had no intention of reminding Goto Ichiri of this kind of thing where he was taking advantage of others.

He twisted the accelerator and left the parking lot. Of course, Muto Yu did not twist the accelerator hard or pull the brake hard, nor did he engage in any dangerous driving behavior.

Various cases in previous lives where "parents raised their children in vain once the ghost fire sounds" were warning him, the newcomer, not to seek death, especially since there was another person behind him.

On the way, no one knew what Goto Ichiri was thinking, and she didn't notice at all that she was giving benefits to Muto Yu.

Following the navigation to the address given by Goto Ichiri, the motorcycle slowly stopped in front of the other party's house, but the other party seemed to be still immersed in some unknown world of imagination and did not notice that the motorcycle had stopped at all.

"Goto, it's time to get off the bus."

"..."

"Goto?"

"..."

Goto Ichiri still didn't react, so Muto Yu could only reach out and pat the other person's arm that was around his waist.

"Eh?"

"You're home, get out of the car."

"Ah, yes!"

He quickly loosened his arms and jumped off the motorcycle.

"Well, thank you for troubling me today."

"It's okay. I received a very satisfactory fare."

"Eh? What's the fare?"

Listening to Muto Yu's suggestive words, Goto Ichiri stood there in a daze, unable to understand why the other party said that.

"If you don't understand, don't think too much about it. Anyway, go home and have a good rest. Today's performance was very good, and I also like the style of the songs. I will continue to work hard in the future."

"Yes, I won't let you down!"

Goto Ichiri suddenly bowed to Muto Yu, then watched him ride his motorcycle until his back disappeared around the corner of the street.
