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

"No need, I can go by myself! ... I can always ask Subaru for help."

"...I just made up an excuse to go with you, do I have to be so blunt?"

Chaoyang raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

Rina blushed slightly at Asahi's words, and even looked a little flustered.

She gripped the hem of her dress tightly with both hands, lowered her head like a shy child, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Mr. Hiraishi wants to... come with me?"

A complex emotion welled up in Rencai's heart, and her cheeks became even redder, making her look exceptionally cute.

"Yes, I really want to go with you."

Chaoyang spoke, his voice still calm.

He finally understood that Renna preferred this kind of direct approach.

"I can manage on my own... You don't need to come with me."

Despite saying that, Renna couldn't hide the flutter in her heart.

Mr. Hiraishi wanted to accompany me on a special trip... Why would he do that?

Of course, I'm afraid you'll cause trouble.

"Oh, right... give me the tickets you have."

"What ticket?"

"Of course, it's your performance tickets... Aren't there a limited number? I'll list them on our company's sales page. With Tao Xiang's name attached, a few tickets should sell easily."

"No, Momoka-san said she doesn't want to use the Diamond Dust name..."

"Okay... Well, as long as you give the tickets to the people in the store, you should be able to sell at least a few."

Speaking of which, I remember watching an anime where the pink-haired heroine had no friends, and she even included her own dog to reach the minimum number of viewers. What anime was it again? My memory is a bit hazy... Pink-haired... Could it be Aine? Come to think of it, I haven't run into a single familiar face yet.

The conversation ended, and neither of them were good at making small talk, so they shut their mouths and strolled home. The shops along the road were already closing, and the streets had become quiet, with only the occasional passing pedestrians and vehicle lights breaking through the night.

They walked to their respective apartment doors, and after a few seconds of silence, Nina finally mustered her courage and spoke softly.

"Um... thank you again today, Mr. Hiraishi."

Then he opened the door and ran inside.

. .

the next day.

Recently, Chaoyang's work schedule has completely returned to normal. He used to get up around 12 o'clock, but now he wakes up before 8 o'clock like a corporate slave. After a quick wash, he goes to the company.

On the table was a note left by Xiangzi. The handwriting was neat, and the content was concise and to the point, reflecting her usual calm and meticulous style.

An idol magazine called yesterday, suggesting Pastel* participate in an interview for a special issue featuring a new idol group. The magazine's sales are mediocre, so it's an insignificant choice. Whether or not to participate is up to you.

Chaoyang naturally chose to let them participate, since all interviews and radio recordings had been canceled due to the lip-syncing incident.

Having jobs now is very important for them. It can boost their confidence.

Chaoyang immediately had someone contact the magazine, saying they were available. He also shared the good news directly in the Pastel* group.

Then I started editing the video as usual.

. .

By the time Chaoyang came to his senses, it was already getting dark. He immediately stretched and yawned. Besides editing videos, he also had to deal with some things that his employees couldn't decide from time to time.

It makes time pass very quickly.

"Ah... speaking of which, I have a date with Nina."

After remembering this incident, Chaoyang quickly uploaded the video of Qinyin and others introducing themselves to the agency's YouTube account. After confirming that everything was correct, he stood up, said "thank you for your hard work" to the other employees, and then hurriedly left the company.

I took a taxi to the T0 venue in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, which can accommodate about 3 people.

It has to be said that there is a difference in starting point. Both are new bands, but Diamond Dust started with a 3-seat venue, while Chaoyang had to worry about not being able to sell out tickets even with a 1-seat venue.

At the theater entrance, Chaoyang looked around but didn't see Nina.

Am I too early? I'll take a nap then.

Feeling a bit tired after a day's work, Chaoyang leaned against a pillar and closed his eyes to rest.

Chapter 83 You're not worthy to sing in an empty box!

"...Subaru-chan, why did you follow me here...?"

Nina walked quickly ahead, muttering complaints as she went, while An and Subaru followed behind her.

After the band practice today, I overheard Nina mentioning that she had a date with Asahi that evening.

Although Momoka just said with a mischievous grin not to stay out too late and then ignored Nina, Subaru couldn't help but worry. After all, as a native of Tokyo, he knew how treacherous people could be in big cities, and he was afraid that Nina would be tricked into bed by Asahi, so he followed behind her.

Subaru, worried about Nina's safety, followed after her.

"Don't say that~ I'd also like to see Diamond Dust..."

I'm still worried about Nina going alone. I don't want to be a third wheel, but she's so easy to fool. I'm not familiar with this guy named Hiraishi; I've only met him a few times and don't know his character. It would be terrible if something happened.

Subaru pondered to herself that, although she didn't want to say it outright, country girls like Nina were the easiest to be deceived by men who frequented Tokyo.

"But there are only two tickets..."

"It's okay, I just bought one online."

Subaru hurriedly bought an expensive e-ticket online, spending quite a bit of money... However, Subaru wasn't short of money and didn't mind.

. .

The two quickly arrived at the agreed-upon location, where a large crowd had already gathered, creating a lively scene. Clearly, most of the audience had come to see the debut performance of New Diamond Dust. Nina looked around anxiously in the crowd, searching for a familiar figure, and finally spotted Asahiya dozing against a pillar near the entrance.

"...He looks very tired."

Subaru glanced at it and said, his voice tinged with surprise and concern.

Renna looked at Asahi, her heart filled with complicated emotions. She regretted agreeing to Asahi's request to come to the concert with her.

"...Mr. Hiraishi, besides running the shop, you also have to manage a company with a debt of 300 million yen. You can imagine the pressure and exhaustion you're under... And now you have to satisfy my capricious demands, dragging your tired body here."

"So you know you're very willful, Nina."

"Subaru-chan..."

When Nina heard Subaru joking around while she was worried about others, she immediately became annoyed.

Just then...

As Nami got closer, Asahi began to recall Nina's innermost thoughts.

Should I wake Mr. Chaoyang and have him go straight back to you? But wouldn't that be very impolite...? Or should I just say I don't want to watch it myself?

Rencai's thoughts kept echoing in Chaoyang's mind, awakening Chaoyang's dormant consciousness.

Because there was a warning and she knew that Nina was right next to her, she thought of what to say as soon as she opened her eyes.

However, I was still a little surprised when I opened my eyes, after all, there was actually An and Subaru, which was beyond my expectations.

"good evening."

Chaoyang immediately greeted him.

Subaru began to show his well-behaved side, raising his hand to eyebrow level with great enthusiasm, and winking as he greeted everyone.

"Good evening~ I hope you won't mind me being a third wheel."

"Of course not. If you had told me you were coming earlier, I wouldn't have come."

Asahi was simply afraid that Renna would cause trouble. He actually had a good impression of An and Subaru, at least they were normal people.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Subaru-chan insisted on coming along after he finished practicing."

Ren Cai, however, used to be full of life as she faced the rising sun.

Asahi, who could hear her inner thoughts, understood that Nina had misunderstood, but he couldn't openly say that he had only come because he was afraid she would cause trouble.

"I'm not angry anymore, let's not worry about that for now. The concert is about to start, let's go in."

. .

Upon entering the venue, the crowd was bustling and the atmosphere was lively, even more so than outside.

The three followed the staff's guidance, moving slowly through the ticket check area, and finally entered the core of the venue.

Despite the hectic scene being somewhat tiring, Chaoyang Thinking has become active.

Seeing the venue setup and guidance, he couldn't help but start thinking about how his own agency would handle similar situations at concerts.

Yes, we need to remember these pain points.

Just then, the familiar system notification sounded in my mind again.

Chaoyang didn't expect that this system not only allowed him to choose tasks but also to achieve achievements. It was a pity that there seemed to be no way to view the achievements, otherwise he wouldn't mind grinding for them.

Before Chaoyang could even celebrate, the stage lights slowly dimmed, and the entire concert venue fell silent for a second before erupting into cheers.

On the huge screen in front of the stage, the words "" flashed into view, like a shooting star falling from the night sky, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the entire venue.

The audience began waving their glow sticks, and colorful lights twinkled like stars in the darkness.

Everyone stared intently at the stage, anticipating the surprise behind the curtain.

With deafening loudspeakers, a huge screen fell down.

The stage lights behind the curtain suddenly turned on, and the rhythm of the band's performance instantly ignited the entire audience.

Shouldn't this intersection on the map exist?

But it appeared right in front of me?

However, Chaoyang had no time to enjoy the performance because an emergency had occurred.

You dare to sing Momoka's songs?! Hina!

You dare stand there?! You're lying! This bastard has defiled Momoka!

Chaoyang is now glad that he is in the highest stand. If he were sitting in the first row below, he would be afraid that Renai would go up on stage and drag that girl called Hina down.

"Pleiades"

"Hey?"

While listening to the songs of An and Mao, she heard Chaoyang call her name and instinctively replied, "Yes."

"Get ready to leave."

"Leave? We just came in, where are you going?"

You should know that she spent a lot of money on the tickets, and once she left, she couldn't get back in.

However, the next moment she understood why Chaoyang had told her to prepare to leave.

Suddenly, without waiting for a response, Rencai pushed open the door and ran outside, while Asahi, who had been warned, followed closely behind.

Chapter 84 Honestly, in reality, it's best to avoid landmine-prone women!

"What happened? Why did Nina-chan run out?"

As An and Subaru ran, they anxiously questioned the rising sun in front of them.

Asahi deliberately kept a distance to avoid catching up, knowing that Nina was going out to vent her frustrations, and also to make sure Subaru kept up.

"I don't know either... but it should be related to that twin-tailed lead singer from Diamond Dust, right? Nina was just muttering something to herself."

"Huh? Could it be a former love rival?"

Anhe Mao suddenly had a wild idea, which almost made Chaoyang trip and fall.

Take back what you said about her being a normal person; this guy's got a screw loose.
