Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

"A grateful heart, thank you for being there~~~"

"The so-called answer"

"The wanderer misses you, dearest mother~~~"

Lin Yuanshan played a medley of songs on Tao Xiang's guitar.

Whether Momoka herself can withstand it is another matter.

Passersby couldn't take it anymore.

The little broken bowl was almost completely filled with coins and banknotes.

There was even a group of men and women who looked like a band, who cried as they threw down a ten-thousand-yuan bill and ran away.

The song ends,

"I'll remember you, kid."

Momoka, looking annoyed, picked up her guitar, grabbed Nina's hand, and left.

"Ha, trying to take my territory..."

Lin Yuanshan was feeling smug when he suddenly realized what was happening.

and many more!

Why did she take the rice vegetable with her?!

Why did you bring her along? You two just met!

"stop!"

Lin Yuanshan abandoned his bowl and chased after the bird.

When the two saw him chasing after them, they instinctively started running.

"Huh? Why do I have to run too?"

Ren Cai was panting heavily.

"Yes, upon closer inspection..."

As soon as Tao Xiang turned around, she saw Lin Yuanshan's vicious face.

"You two, stop right there!!!"

Tao Xiang was startled.

"This guy definitely won't let you off the hook either, come this way!"

At the end of a dimly lit alley.

Lin Yuanshan crossed his arms, cornering Kawara Momoka, the former lead singer of the band "Diamond Star," and Iori Jinna, the simulated target.

"Run, why don't you run?"

He approached step by step, his shadow enveloping the two of them.

"Carrying such a heavy guitar, do you think you can outrun me when I'm unarmed?"

Peach Blossom shielded the radish behind her.

"You bastard, what are you trying to do, chasing us all the way here? Didn't we already give you this territory?!"

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Lin Yuanshan let out a standard villainous laugh.

"That's not enough. When you do something wrong, you have to pay the price!"

Rencai screamed in fright:

“We have no money!”

Peach fragrance:

"Ignore him, call the police!"

Rencai's voice trembled with tears:

"But... my phone is dead!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuanshan took out a power bank from his pocket.

"Don't panic, little sister, I have a power bank here!"

Ren dishes:

"Aa ...

Fifteen minutes later.

Rencai huddled in the corner, using Lin Yuanshan's power bank to charge her phone, and also called home to let them know she was safe.

Lin Yuanshan and Tao Xiang chatted casually.

"Uncle, you're really a strange person. Is it really necessary to chase me this far just to get me to apologize?"

Because of his sunglasses and sophisticated demeanor, Lin Yuanshan's age was mistakenly assumed.

He did not deny it.

"You don't understand, this is called the spirit of rock and roll. Don't let my appearance fool you, I used to play in a band."

Peach fragrance:

"I didn't see that coming."

"Hey, it's because I didn't study hard back then and dropped out of school to play in a band that I ended up like this."

As Lin Yuanshan spoke, he glanced at Rencai, who was still charging, out of the corner of his eye.

Let's start subtly influencing each other now!

Rencai ignored him.

Instead, Tao Xiang let out a long sigh.

"Yeah, it's really tough being a band these days. I'm planning to leave this place too."

Rencai finally raised her head:

"Does 'retreat' mean?"

“Go back over there, I’m not playing music anymore.”

"why?"

Rencai got anxious.

"Miss Momoka sings so well!"

Tao Xiang glanced at Lin Yuanshan beside her and said with a wry smile:

"When it comes to singing, this uncle is much better than me, but he's reduced to begging on the streets, let alone me? If I don't become famous, I can't make a living from music at all."

Lin Yuanshan slapped his thigh, heartbroken.

"That's right! Little girl, remember this: dropping out of school to join a band is a dead end!"

"But Miss Momoka is different!"

Ren Cai is still persisting.

"What's different? If we're talking about differences, the End of the Band in the industry is truly different. They were spotted by a genius producer before they even graduated high school, and became famous overnight without the band changing its style. It's something that people can only envy."

Renna took out her phone and played Momoka's song.

"But this song has such a high number of plays!"

Lin Yuanshan leaned over and took a look.

"Is this a high number of views? It's about the same as some obscure streamer I know."

As he spoke, he pulled up a bizarre video of Teacher Da Miao biting a lighter.

The video's view count is surprisingly on par with Momoka's painstakingly crafted song, "The Empty Box."

Chapter 102 Tokyo Partners

KTV.

Lin Yuanshan, who had somehow been dragged into this place, watched as Kawara Momoka chugs beer while holding up a microphone:

"Tonight is the last time I will sing!"

He nodded silently.

Yes, yes, after tonight, you should completely say goodbye to this high-risk profession of being a girl in a band and find a job.

He not only said it, but also provided support through his actions.

"Miss Momoka, I actually have a pretty good part-time job here."

"Sorry, I have no interest in begging or performing on the street."

Peach Blossom glanced at him.

"Although it is indeed very profitable."

Lin Yuanshan's wailing singing, accompanied by her guitar, earned her more in just ten minutes than her band's average weekly earnings.

"I'm not begging."

“I have some connections in Tokyo, and I can introduce you to a music-related job at a karaoke bar.”

"If you don't want to play in a band, going behind the scenes is also a great option."

Upon hearing this, Momoka, who was about to start singing, stopped and turned around.

Even Jing Qinrencai, who was holding a sand hammer next to her, cast a curious glance at her.

"Hey, hey, hey, don't let my appearance fool you, I used to be quite successful in a band, you know!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a photoshopped picture of himself with AveMujica that he had previously used to trick the band that had ended.

"Look, this is the band I used to be in!"

Rencai leaned over for a look and whispered:

"So, what's your position in the band, sir?"

"Manager, who says band members have to be able to play instruments?"

Momoka seemed to recall some rumors circulating in the industry.

"Rumor has it that AveMujica did have a remarkable manager in the past, but he was later kicked out for some reason..."

This rumor originated from the version spoken by the girls in the band "The End," and it has now become an urban legend known to everyone in Shimokitazawa.

AveMujica's reputation has been damaged once again.

"Hey, heroes don't dwell on their past glories."

Lin Yuanshan waved his hand casually, forcefully bringing the topic back on track.

"In short, if you two want to work in Tokyo, I can definitely help you."

The next day.

Hot pot and stew restaurant.

"Excuse me, who are you?"

"Anhe Mao, the band's drummer, nice to meet you~"

A strange woman with long, straight black hair and a white ribbon tied in her hair introduced herself with a smile.

Tao Xiang explained that this was a kind-hearted drummer she had temporarily recruited.

Add to that Jing Qinrencai, who was sitting next to her, fidgeting and pretending to be sulking.

Lin Yuanshan looked at this "one short" configuration, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.

"So you guys really are going to form a band after all!"
