My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

"Hey?"

“Aiyin, I know your hard work better than anyone else. No one can become an idol easily. I have seen all the sweat, time and perseverance you have put in along the way.”

...I don't think I tried that hard...

"Pastel* is not a team built by one person alone. Everyone has their own unique qualities. Your smile, your voice, and your warmth are all indispensable to the team."

Qian Sheng watched from the side, a smile playing on his lips, his eyes narrowed.

"Producer... just speak, please don't touch your idol inappropriately, that constitutes sexual harassment~~"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself... Aine, if you really need time to sort yourself out, I can give you enough rest. But I hope that before you make a decision, you can think carefully about what you really want."

Ai-yin bit her lip and said softly.

"...Thank you, producer. Actually, I've been struggling too. Being an idol is really tiring. I'm not good at dealing with those enthusiastic fans, and I don't like being compared to others. Rather than forcing myself to keep going, it might be better to let go sooner rather than later."

Qian Sheng watched quietly from the side, letting out a soft sigh. Although she felt a little regretful, she was already used to seeing people come and go.

"Ano-chan"

Qian Sheng spoke softly.

"You are warm and energetic. Whatever you do in the future, I believe you will do it well."

At this moment, Chaoyang spoke up again without thinking.

"Everyone has their own dreams, and each person's life is wonderful~"

"...Producer...is that all you really meant to say?"

. .

the next day.

"Hmm... Haha... I need to find someone to fill in quickly... I asked my friend, Yu Shutao, and he's really busy!"

Sitting behind his desk, burying his face in his hands and wailing at the rising sun, he had already hit a wall several times with his initial idol project. He was still wondering where to find a girl to fill the void.

Or maybe ask Xiangzi... She should be able to sing, dance, and play instruments without any problems, right?

Just then, the employee who came to deliver the documents heard Chaoyang talking to himself and immediately offered his helpful advice.

"President, I do have someone in mind. She's of mixed race, has a great figure and is very cute. She was sent out as a model before you took over, so her contract wasn't terminated. That job just ended recently. She's a first-year high school student at Hanakawa Girls' Academy. Should I bring her file over?"

Chaoyang, who was lying on the table, also became interested after hearing this and immediately spoke up.

"Hmm? Then let me see it."

Chapter 145 After fighting a lifetime of war, can't I enjoy myself?

"Eh?! Ano-chan is transferring schools?! So suddenly? Aren't you leaving the idol world?! Didn't I hear your performance recently was a huge success? You've been getting so much work lately..."

Kuramoto Chinatsu looked at Aine with a shocked expression.

Ai Yin stammered and said shyly.

"Ah... um... I guess I've discovered that the idol lifestyle isn't really my thing..."

I always feel like I've become a supporting character in the group, and I'm even threatened and insulted by other people's fanatical fans.

During lunch break, Kuramoto Chinatsu, Sawa Hiroshi, Hanami Yume, and Aine gathered in the courtyard for lunch as usual. Unexpectedly, Aine announced that she was transferring schools right away.

"...Hmm...I support it."

S Ze Guang's words are concise and to the point.

"Hey~~ No way~~ Didn't you say you were going to become the number one idol?"

Yuya held onto Aine's arm, her face filled with sadness and reluctance.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!!!! Yuya-chan hit too hard!"

Unfortunately, Aine was more moved by Yuya's wrist strength than by the emotion she felt; the pain brought tears to her eyes.

After finally breaking free...

"Haha... It's just a transfer school. I'm going to Haneoka Girls' Academy, and we'll still be friends. If you guys ever have a concert, you absolutely have to invite me! I can brag about it to my friends then, hehe~~"

I could consider going to Tsuki no Mori, but... there are old classmates there, and they're all rich girls... Even if I said I was an idol, they probably wouldn't care. Hina's at that school too, and she'll be even more famous then, so I can go find her in the upperclassmen's classroom. Hehehe, everyone around will be so surprised.

The thought of being able to play dumb to fool others and having the advantages of good grades, being a former idol, and being multi-talented made Ai Yin secretly happy.

"No wonder... the producer asked me first thing this morning if I wanted to join an idol group..."

Yuya only realized it at this moment.

"Huh? Did you agree?"

Ai Yin was a little nervous at this moment, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or unhappy. Her friend had taken her place, and she felt a mix of emotions.

"No~ I want to debut solo like my older sister, and then beat her!!!"

"Ah... Miss Hanaha... um... hehe, good luck..."

Having witnessed the D season stage performance up close, Aine was still quite shocked and felt lingering fear.

In her eyes, Yuya and D-season were not even in the same league.

"Xiao Guang, were you invited?"

"Hmm? No... Besides, if I hold the guitar, my hands will probably dislocate... Hehehe, but that wouldn't be bad either..."

"Hmm... I still don't quite understand you, Xiao Guang..."

At the same time, Asahi also arrived at Hatsuhoshi Academy, but of course, he wasn't there to find Aine.

Actually, I came to find Qin Yin.

In a secluded spot in the academy, we spread a cloth on the grass and ate together.

"The performance fee! It's arrived! And it's an amount I've never seen before~~ Oh!"

Qin Yin excitedly told Chaoyang this as soon as they met.

"Hehe, after all, you've worked hard, Kotone. But this is just the beginning~"

"Well! So... actually, I specially cooked the meal! After all, it's all thanks to the producer! Gratitude should be repaid with actions!"

After speaking, he opened several bento boxes. They weren't fancy dishes, and the ingredients were simple, but they were clearly prepared with care.

Chaoyang then humbly waved his hand.

"Hmm? Well, it's alright. It's all thanks to the entire agency. But as for your bento, I'll just enjoy it."

"...And so that I can continue to be taken care of by the producer in the future... Producer! Let's go on a date to the amusement park~~"

Chaoyang immediately clenched his fist, feeling excited.

That's exactly what I'm after!

"However, isn't the amusement park too conspicuous?"

"No way~ I don't know if it's a tradition at Chuxing Academy, but it seems like a lot of idols and producers go on dates at amusement parks. I don't know when it started..."

"Huh? Is that okay???"

"Who knows? To be honest, most people aren't that famous. They probably won't care too much... But let me just say this beforehand..."

At this moment, Qin Yin suddenly spoke with a serious expression.

"No way! Get me a gift! And don't book any fancy hotels with Tokyo night views! This time is out of the question; I don't like spending a lot of money."

“Hmm…”

Chaoyang had actually planned to book a candlelight dinner by the window, but after hearing Qinyin's words, he had no choice but to give up the idea.

The two of them enjoyed their lunch with laughter and chatter.

. .

in the afternoon.

Good morning! I heard you needed to speak with me~~

Sitting in the office facing the sun, a young woman walked up to him. Her long, silver-gray hair was styled into two braids, giving her a fresh and lovely appearance. She had delicate features, fair skin, and a gentle demeanor.

My impression of them is that they are innocent and full of energy.

She's definitely just as cute as Aine, and with her mixed-race heritage, she might even be more popular.

"Ah, Ms. Wakamiya, are you interested in transitioning into an idol? To be precise, becoming a member of an idol group."

"Idol? You mean someone who sings and dances? But I've always been a model, standing still all the time."

Chaoyang smiled and shook his head, speaking softly.

"Well, strictly speaking, you'll basically be standing still, because it's an idol band, and you'll need to use an instrument, um, is a keyboard okay?"

We really have to consider that the Japanese guy is too strong. The contrast is obvious and it would erase the personality of the other person who is also a guitarist. It's better not to have two guitars.

"Sure! I don't really understand, but I'm really looking forward to it! I'll keep the samurai spirit in mind and do my best!"

"T-Samurai?"

Chaoyang scratched his head in confusion after hearing this.

Ah, is this girl a mystery type? Oh well, she's just one of her quirks. (Unconventional/unfettered type: someone whose emotions, words, and actions deviate slightly from common sense and possess a unique aura)

"Okay, let me take you to meet the members. I'm the producer and manager of this group. Because we're short-staffed, I'm basically in charge of all the idol-related matters. If you have any difficulties in your life, you can come to me. Including if you're looking for a boyfriend, that's fine too~~"

"Hey!!!"

"Ah?"

Seeing her serious expression, with her hands clenched into fists like an Aikido disciple, she swung them down forcefully and answered the morning sun loudly with great spirit.

"Uh... it's okay if you don't raise your voice so much, or rather, please use a normal way. Never mind, let's go."

. .

Practice room.

"...That's the situation. Of course, Aine is still our partner and friend. She comes to visit us occasionally. Also, Hina and Maya will still be Aine-senpai in the future, so I hope your relationship won't become distant."

Today, since everyone at Pastel* was off work, Asahi called them over. Asahi, the introverted Maruyama Aya, immediately suggested that since they were free anyway, they should go practice in the practice room. Afterwards, Asahi brought Eve over to explain the situation to everyone.

"...I hope you'll take good care of Eve. She's also a first-year high school student, and she's your junior, Qian Sheng."

Chaoyang patted Eve on the back, signaling her to step forward.

Before Eve could even speak, Chisato had already gently clapped her hands in welcome.

"Eve-chan~ Welcome~~ Please take care of me from now on~ Feel free to ask me anything you don't understand~"

"Huh? Ano's gone just like that? Well, since she's at our school, I'll go hang out with her sometime."

The reason you can walk is partly because you are one of them.

Chaoyang silently complained to himself.

"I will follow the way of the samurai and study hard with everyone!"

"T-Samurai?"

Maruyama Aya was somewhat surprised and didn't understand why this word would suddenly appear.

"Haha, what an interesting person!"

Hina immediately burst into laughter as if she had discovered something amusing.

"Mmm! Thank you for the compliment~~"

Eve, who didn't know Hina well, thought Hina was praising her, but Hina wiped away the tears from her eyes after laughing and replied.

Haha, I wasn't complimenting you~~

"Alright, that's all for now. Little Eve, you can use the keyboard. It's already prepared for you in the corner. I see from your resume that you have some piano background, so it shouldn't be too difficult. Try practicing with the others first. You have a small performance in a few days, so we'll see how it goes then. As for the rest of the time, you can arrange it internally. If you want to book a vocal teacher, Qian Sheng, just send me a text message. I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."

When Chaoyang said he was leaving, everyone bowed in unison.

"You've worked hard~~"

"Well, you guys shouldn't stay here too late either, the world's not safe these days."

After saying that, Chaoyang opened the door and left.
