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

Let's rewind to last night.

In the dead of night at the Starry Night Agency, all was quiet.

Lin Yuanshan had already gone into his closet and was sound asleep, leaving only Ichiji Hoshika in the living room.

She had just finalized her performance schedule for next week and was about to go back to her room when she caught a glimpse of a document on Lin Yuanshan's desk that he hadn't had time to put away.

"New band affiliation contract".

Where did this new band come from?

Xingge walked over and picked up the papers.

She only glanced at it, but her eyebrows furrowed.

"During the affiliation period, Starry Sky Agency only takes half of the performance revenue as management fees..."

Half a percent?

Xingge could almost picture Lin Yuanshan's expression when he prepared the contract, a look of self-assurance masking a heart that was actually incredibly soft-hearted.

As expected, you are still as gentle and kind as ever, Anada.

Trusting others so blindly can lead to trouble.

She knew him too well.

Once this contract is signed, he will be exploited to death by that "New Kawasaki (tentative name)"!

So she decided to make a small modification to the contract.

In the office late at night, Xingge sat in front of the computer, typing furtively:

"Determination of liability for equipment damage..."

"Profit Distribution Annex..."

She calculated expressionlessly, making sure that under any circumstances, the band's share would be a neat negative number.

not enough.

Xingge was still worried.

Lin Sang is just too kind. Even though he's gone to such lengths, I still feel like he'll get bullied!

Only complete domination is possible.

"Digital rights and privacy licensing..."

After writing the last line, she examined her masterpiece with satisfaction.

This contract is much more reasonable than the original one!

After Xingge printed out the document, she replaced Lin Yuanshan's original version.

Then he shut down the computer, as if nothing had happened.

Chapter 109 An and Subaru's Astounding Wisdom

Time returns to the present.

In the karaoke room.

The eldest, Tao Xiang, began by saying:

"Gentlemen, what are your thoughts on this contract?"

"It's very reasonable, the terms are clear, and the rights and responsibilities are well-defined."

Rencai understood that, given the educational level of her two teammates, they certainly wouldn't be able to grasp the specific meaning of the contract.

After all, these are all traps in the additional terms and conditions.

Thinking of this, she continued,

"But after all, the band hasn't even had a proper live performance yet. In my opinion, we should postpone signing a contract."

“Nina is right, but we can’t let our agent down.”

Subaru echoed, a smile like that of a girl who had dropped out of school appearing on her face, and reached for the pen on the table.

"How about I, as the band's representative, sign the papers first? If you need anything later, just come to me."

However, her fingertips had not yet touched the pen.

"How bitter it is..."

A cold, chilling whisper, as if calling upon Cthulhu, echoed in the room.

Dr. Subaru froze instantly, and the hairs on his entire body stood on end!

She suddenly dropped her pen, lunged forward as if she had seen a ghost, and covered Rencai's mouth tightly!

"Don't read it! Where did you even hear about this 'meme contaminant'?"

"Wa ...

Ren Cai gave a vague answer.

Subaru thought to himself: As expected of a girl who has dropped out of school, she has no idea how terrifying this spell is.

Last week, a secret research institute in the Federation analyzed the audio sample of this incantation. As a result, the entire research institute, along with an area within several kilometers, was instantly reduced to a desolate ruin!

I don't know what this vegetable is.

She thought it was a story about urban ghosts told by a girl band, and that it was read aloud just to scare Subaru.

As expected, she was quite frightened; no wonder she was a girl who had dropped out of school.

I just can't help but believe these kinds of ridiculous things!

If you're scared, just stop.

You actually tried to sign the contract before I could?

How could I let you ruin your life so easily!

While the two were entangled, Tao Xiang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and she took a few steps forward and grabbed the pen.

"Then I will..."

"no!"

Subaru turned around abruptly, no longer caring about covering his mouth.

She seemed to lose her balance and swayed, slamming her shoulder hard into the arm that Momoka was using to support her body!

"Clang."

The pen fell to the ground with a thud and rolled into the corner.

Momoka's eyes instantly turned dangerous.

Subaru, however, seemed to have really lost his balance, leaning on the table and looking at her with an innocent expression.

"Taoxiang, you're being too impulsive! How can you make such an important decision all by yourself!"

In that instant, her brain calculated the coefficient of friction of the table, the momentum of her own impact, and the angle of the olecranon joint, the most unstable part of Taoxiang's arm, within a fraction of a second.

A perfect collision.

We absolutely cannot let Momoka, that rock 'n' roll idiot who only knows how to use brute force, sign this contract of servitude!

"you……"

Peach Fragrance was just about to take effect.

A black lightning bolt ripped through the air!

Dr. Rencai executed a swift sliding tackle, his legs precisely locking onto the innocent pen in the corner!

"Don't even think about it!"

Subaru reacted even faster, almost in sync with Nina's movements, lunging forward in a reverse joint lock!

"How bitter it is..."

Rencai's chanting began again, like a death knell.

The karaoke room instantly descended into chaos.

Momoka used a standard Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu armbar to lock Rencai's leg tightly, while her hand desperately reached for the pen.

Subaru unleashed his astonishing core strength, twisting his upper body at an physics-defying angle to bite Momoka's wrist.

Meanwhile, Nina was firmly holding onto those three sinister contracts, and incidentally, she also kept Subaru under control.

"boom!"

During the fight, someone kicked over a nearby speaker.

The loud noise shook the entire room violently.

In the chaos, the three men simultaneously grabbed the three stacked contracts.

"Thorn-"

The document, writhing in the struggle between the three, was torn into countless flying fragments.

The air solidified.

The three PhDs were stunned as they stared at the pile of scraps of paper scattered on the floor.

How could someone be so irrational!

How am I supposed to explain this to Lin Yuanshan outside the door?

Tao Xiang sighed and said:

"Everyone, things have come to this point, let's think of a solution together."

Ren Cai nodded.

"Indeed, if the manager finds out, he'll definitely think we don't respect him."

昴：

"Do you have any good ideas?"

After the three finished speaking, they began to stare at each other.

What reason could there be for the scene to turn out like this?

"Hey! I have an idea."

Subaru had a sudden inspiration.

Half an hour later, Lin Yuanshan, carrying three cups of coffee and humming a tune, was about to push open the door to the karaoke room.

Subaru, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately spoke.

"I heard online that the music store in Shimokita was having a promotion, and apparently something happened."

Momoka was skeptical of Subaru's previous explanation, but at this moment she could only continue with the prepared lines:

"It sounds like someone said a word. What word was it?"

Rencai, taking a "nothing to lose" approach, completed the word she hadn't said before:

"I know this phrase, it's called 'bitterness upon bitterness'!!!"

Tao Xiang is still increasing the dosage:

"So this is what suffering is all about."

Rencai is still oblivious to his fate:

"It's definitely bitter!"

Subaru is no longer human:

"Bitterness comes, bitterness comes, bitterness comes, bitterness comes—this phrase actually sounds quite nice!"

That's right, that's her plan!

If everything is destroyed, Lin Yuanshan will naturally not be able to find out.

They tore the contract to shreds!
