Two Worlds, Starting with Kaguya of Penglai Mountain

Kazuya Kurokawa: "If you were in this other world like me, you probably could, but it's obvious that you don't have supernatural abilities in your current reality, Pochi."

Goto Ichiri: (⊙﹏⊙)

Seemingly because of the fleeting rise and fall of hope, Pochi-chan curled herself into a pink ball and collapsed to the side.

And after Boqi-chan finished saying all that.

Kita Ikuyo: "So, can we create music that is more helpful to them based on their living environment?"

A red-haired girl with a somewhat childlike demeanor on the other side of the screen raised her hand and once again voiced her opinion.

It was obvious that the scene she had just witnessed had a significant impact on her, and she still couldn't forget it.

A childlike girl always has the urge to reach out to the cruel world.

Unfortunately, however—

Kazuya Kurokawa: "No."

Kurokawa Kazuya rejected the idea without hesitation:

“Kita Ikuyo, you must have read about the lineage of the Singer. To play an influential piece of music, it must come from the heart and resonate with your own experiences and emotions. If you don’t have that experience, don’t force yourself to play this kind of song. Heaven and earth are not so easily moved.”

The four members of the band, even if they couldn't fully grasp the emotions in the lyrics of "Guitar, Loneliness, and Blue Planet" composed by Ichiri Goto, were able to resonate with each other because of their long-term interaction with Goto.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "If you want to move others, you have to move yourself first. Right now, the protagonist of this song is Pochi. In the future, the protagonist of your songs can be someone else, but it must be someone in the band. There always needs to be someone in the band who can completely project their own feelings into the lyrics."

He set the tone for the band's future style, and this...

This is exactly the style of the band that's ending.

Ryo Yamada: "People with different personalities come together to create the same music, which is the underlying theme of the End Band."

The usually nonchalant bassist, at this moment, curled the corners of his mouth, displaying an inexplicable confidence, and looked quite reliable.

Ryo Yamada: "Let's quickly perform and gather fans, then head to another world. By then, we'll be superstars."

With his head down, the blue-haired bassist began playing the bass guitar slung over his shoulder.

It's clear that he's genuinely excited.

However, after making her scathing remarks, she was quickly pulled away by Ichiji Nijika.

The girls' joint expedition gradually came to an end.

After everyone had mostly dispersed...

The blond drummer first ended the group chat, and then went back to chat with Kurokawa Kazuya in a private chat.

She was mainly there to discuss matters related to performance fees with the other party.

Nijika is nothing like Kita Ikuyo, who has an overly naive childishness. Even when she sympathizes with the fans on the other side of the screen, Nijika still sticks to the facts.

If Ryo Yamada is the core of the band's music, Pochi-chan is the core of the band's spirit, and Ikuyo Kita is the number of fans the band has the most.

So Hongxia is undoubtedly the band's housekeeper.

She needs to consider the band's finances.

Actually, Nijika was quite worried when she approached Kurokawa Kazuya again.

Because the three people in front of her were completely led by the nose, Hongxia was a little afraid that Kurokawa and Mi would try to lower her price.

At that time, she really didn't know how to talk to her teammates.

Fortunately, Kurokawa and Mi were quite generous with the money.

Seeing Ichika's nervous state, and because of their growing familiarity, he even smiled and directly stated his purpose:

"I know that your naivety is good for me, so I won't let you lose that naivety. I won't shortchange you on your salary. In fact, you can come to me if you have any financial difficulties."

Because in the real world, game production only requires payment for programming expenses, Kurokawa Kazuya hasn't even spent all the money he earned from "Tsukihime" yet.

Not to mention that the new game "Tales of Kaguya" is about to enter the promotion and release phase.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "If you gradually become profit-driven adults because of a lack of money, then I'll be the one in a difficult position."

He smiled as he summarized his words to Ichiji Nijika.

The latter listened to Kurokawa Kazuya's words, nodded blankly, and then turned her head away with a slightly embarrassed expression.

If Ichi Nijika were to say what type of guy she likes, it would probably be someone who is stable and reliable.

After all, the environment she's in is actually quite lacking in this type of person.

A girl who is forced to learn to take care of others does not mean she doesn't want to be taken care of.

Ichi Nijika: "Kurokawa-senpai, the way you look at yourself is like one of those rich guys who come to the showroom to pick up girls, you know? People like that usually get kicked out by older sisters."

The blonde girl muttered a small complaint.

Ijichi Nijika: "We don't need your funding. All we need is for Kurokawa to settle our payments according to the standard rates. Also..."

Turning back to Ichiji Nijika, she looked earnestly at Kurokawa Kazuya: "I heard from Pochi that your new game is about to be released. Do you need the End Band to help promote it?"

The blonde girl looked at Kurokawa Kazuya and spoke earnestly.

The girl was quite grateful, and she naturally had other ways to repay Kurokawa and Mi besides her job.

……

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "So, Mr. Kurokawa, did you ask Nijika to help with the publicity?"

In the shade of the trees in the small town, the pink-haired young lady, listening to the story, said this while putting pig's belly into her mouth with chopsticks.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "I've already publicized it, and I'm planning to tie them down. Even if Ichiji hadn't said anything, I was already planning to do it. I'm not doing charity."

He made a sarcastic remark.

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Saigyouji Yuyuko with a helpless expression.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "When I described the end of the band's affairs, I meant that I wanted you, Yuyuko, to take over their affairs. You weren't so busy eating that you didn't listen to me, were you?"

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Of course I heard that. Don't worry, I've already had Youmu instruct people to do what needs to be done."

The pink-haired young lady nodded.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

It can only be said that the young lady is indeed the young lady, and her actions are completely different from what Kurokawa and Miya had in mind.

Basically, he just ordered his subordinates to do things.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "There's only one piece of pork belly left. Kurokawa, you're going to eat it, right? It's delicious."

She used her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat from the box and placed it in front of Kurokawa Kazuya.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Ahhhhhh!"

The young lady spoke in a lighthearted tone.

Kazuya Kurokawa: "..."

He paused for a moment, then reached out and took the pig's stomach from the other person's chopsticks, putting it into his mouth.

Saigyouji Yuyuko: "Eh~ Why won't Mr. Kurokawa let me feed him?"

Kazuya Kurokawa: "Regarding this, Yuyuko, you should really deal with your best friend properly before you take any action."

He pointed to the area behind Saigyouji Yuyuko.

Not far from the two, a blonde girl named Mary, holding a book, was staring intently at them.

When she saw Saigyouji Yuyuko feeding Kurokawa Kazuya, the blonde girl's entire demeanor instantly sharpened.

However, as the two of them looked at her, she took a slight breath and had already composed herself.

Yukari Yakumo: "I'm here to discuss something with you, Kurokawa. It has nothing to do with Yuyuko's matter."

The blonde girl walked slowly to where Kurokawa Kazuya and Yuyuko were, and spoke her thoughts in a calm tone.

What exactly is Saigyouji Yuyuko to Yakumo Yukari?

It's probably something like a relaxing place to live, or a faction anchor point.

At least that's what Yukari Yakumo herself thinks.

She would visit Saigyouji's house every now and then to talk with Yuyuko.

Her gradually friendly attitude towards humans is largely due to the existence of Saigyouji Yuyuko, but that's all.

What would happen if a certain boy held a higher place in Yuyuko's heart than she did?

In other words, she finds it difficult to completely trust the other person again, that's all, that's all, so...

She can simply be more careful when talking to Yuyuko in the future.

The hands holding the book unconsciously tightened slightly.

He recalled some of the rambling thoughts of a certain blue-haired girl.

Yukari Yakumo forcibly shifted her attention away from Yuyuko, refusing to judge the current state of Yuyuko's relationship with Kazuya Kurokawa.

Yukari Yakumo: "I want to talk to you alone, Kurokawa, about the game I want to make."

The girl then brought up the important matter.

Chapter Seventy-Two: Dinner at the Kurokawa Family's House

Beep beep~ Beep beep beep beep~

In the dimly lit room, the alarm clock began to ring.

Yoshiki, who was sleeping on his older brother's bed, tiptoed out of bed.

I went to the window and drew back the thick curtains. The morning sunlight poured down on Jia Shu's lovely face like water.

A new day is not a new beginning; Yoshiki is about to begin his usual hard work.

But it's not boring, because Yoshiki finds doing these tasks very enjoyable because it starts with his older brother.

"Is Yoshiki awake? Come and have breakfast."

There was a gentle knock on the door; the parents, who were on holiday, had returned home.

"Here it comes~"

Yoshiki went to the bathroom, stood in front of the mirror, tidied his clothes, opened the door, and went to the living room to have breakfast with his father and mother.

The Kurokawa family's parents: father Hayato Kurokawa and mother Mie Kurokawa.

A fairly traditional Japanese name.

Both parents work in the electronics industry.

Because of the high level of my position and the busy schedule, I often can't go home.

They had originally considered whether they should change jobs to spend more time with their child for the sake of the child's physical and mental health.

However, the son and daughter in the family are quite independent, and they understand their parents' work. They always make time to have family meals with their parents when the couple has time off.

Over time, the couple became more at ease.

There's no way around it; any parent facing a child who has their own dreams from a young age and arranges various learning activities for themselves will gradually exhibit this behavior.

Even when their second daughter was born, they subconsciously left many things to their older brother, Kurokawa Kazuya.

Of course, the couple now regrets their lazy decision.

When the siblings were in junior high school, they strictly forbade Yoshiki from sleeping in the same bed with her brother.

Fortunately, apart from this aspect, Yoshiki Kurokawa and Kazuya Kurokawa are quite normal.
