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

Then, they ruthlessly extract their remaining value.

Finally, when they reach their breaking point, they are forced to pay exorbitant breach of contract fees, and then packaged and sold to a large audio-visual product company.

This is Lin Yuanshan's money-making plan.

The first step of this plan is to find a talented young girl who can be used in a band.

"This pink-haired girl won't do. She looks timid and carries a guitar, probably because she learned it to fit in. Pass."

"This blond guy won't do. Blonde hair reminds me of Chu Hua, so he's out."

"Why does this blue-haired guy smell so strongly of auspiciousness? Pass!"

"Red Hair gives off a similar vibe to Aine, I feel too guilty lying to him, pass!"

In the end, Lin Yuanshan sat on the street for a whole day but still couldn't find a suitable target.

Indeed, genius girls are extremely rare.

You can't just run into someone like that.

As he was thinking this, his [Happiness Master Simulator] suddenly reacted.

[Happiness simulation target detected]

[Simulator, start! ]

[Current Simulation Target: Goto Ichiri]

[Current happiness level of Goto Ichiri: -40 (mild depression)]

[Goto Ichiri Character Introduction: A first-year student at Shuka High School, a prodigy in a band. She has a long-form video account on a video website—Guitar Hero—with far more followers than Nyanmu. In real life, she suffers from depression due to her inability to make friends for many years.]

Please use the skills you honed in the last simulation to bring happiness to Goto Ichiri!

Chapter 56 uses mujica as a reference, and the answer is, of course, yes!

"To gain the ability to play in front of an audience~"

"I practice for 6 hours every day!"

Before I knew it, I had graduated from junior high school!

"I couldn't perform on stage at the cultural festival."

I couldn't find it.

"Band members~"

"I haven't even made a single friend~"

Three years have passed.

"You absolutely have to wait until I get to high school, we absolutely have to form a band!"

"After making up my mind, a month of high school life has already passed in the blink of an eye~"

"My only solace is the guitar."

"I'm only one step away from becoming a shut-in~"

"Uh, before my terrible original song starts yelling at the neighbors in the middle of the night, I need to upload the cover of AveMujica's hit song first!"

That's a super popular group that can hold concerts at the Budokan!

Goto Ichiri finished playing the piece "Sky Symphony".

"Wow---Doloris (Hatsuka Misaka) is so cool! I really want to be as popular as her!"

As she spoke, she clicked to upload the edited video.

The following afternoon, at the park.

"Ding-dong---"

"The content creator you follow has updated."

Lin Yuanshan opened the video commenting website app on his phone.

Unexpectedly, the simulation subject this time is "Guitar Hero".

He had been following this content creator before.

In his mind, shouldn't a "guitar hero" be a heavy metal macho man with zombie makeup who can solo with his teeth?

It turned out to be a girl who had just started high school.

She's the same age as Hatsune Miku.

Lin Yuanshan swiped the screen, browsing through past videos and updates of "Guitar Hero".

This is a song we often sing at karaoke! The chorus is really exciting, isn't it!

This is a song my friend has been really into lately!

I performed this song with my friends at the school festival!

My friends all praised my guitar playing, I'm so shy!

Lin Yuanshan glanced at the video title and then at the character introductions on the simulator.

[Ichiri Goto: In real life, she suffered from depression because she couldn't make friends for many years.]

Ha ha.

There are only two possibilities now.

First, Goto Ichiri usually makes friends with thin air.

Form a band with the air.

Go to KTV with the air.

Performing with the air at the school festival.

The second possibility is that there's a problem with the emulator's description.

It’s so hard to choose.

Lin Yuanshan let out a cold laugh.

"Who would believe this piece of junk riddled with bugs?!"

Therefore, there is only one truth.

Goto Ichiri is not a socially awkward girl who can't make friends at all.

She is the ultimate modern woman who can fill up the dojo one day!

Therefore, her character template should be applied to Mujica and his gang of evil spirits.

Sitting on the swing, Lin Yuanshan crossed out his original assessment of Goto Ichiri as a "simple and introverted" persona.

His mind began to replay those nightmarish faces uncontrollably.

Triangle Chuhua: (Healthy laugh) Do you like my "Severing God Thunderbolt"?

Mortis: (Licks a cucumber coated with anesthetic and throws it) Go get some sleep!

Xiangzi: (Puffing on his breath) If you hand over your life, I might consider letting you go!

Yutenji Wakana: (biting a lighter) Let's do something really tough for the sisters!

Yawata Kairin: (Commander Ikari pose) Under my control, how can you escape!

"So, which category does Goto Ichiri belong to?"

Lin Yuanshan looked up and gazed at the pink-haired girl sitting on the swing not far away.

Either way, it's not a good sign.

To investigate thoroughly, he disguised himself as a school janitor and observed the school for a day, even "visiting" her home when no one was around.

Both parents are alive, and he has a younger sister and a house.

No experience with Shark King, no background in the Extreme Path, no fighting skills.

A typical girl with no money, no job, and no income.

But the more this was the case, the more Lin Yuanshan felt something was wrong.

Would a girl who plays in a band have such a normal art style?

While disguised as a school janitor, he noticed Goto Ichiri wandering around alone with his guitar.

She is now all alone.

This is very abnormal for someone who is a "normie".

First, we can rule out the possibility that she's a fantasizing friend who's just an imaginary person and is boasting about it on her video account—a person with severe social anxiety.

Then there is only one answer,

She had a falling out with her friend.

What kind of art style do non-commercial girl bands have?

Just refer to MyGo.

Even Ayane Seijin could be so angry that she became withdrawn, so it's perfectly normal for Ichiri Goto to argue with her companions.

No wonder the happiness level is -40.

How to manage interpersonal relationships within the band?

He knows this question well.

The other end of the park swing.

Goto Ichiri, alone with her guitar on her back, watched someone writing and drawing by themselves.

Lin Yuanshan, who occasionally let out a strange laugh,

They offered their own judgment.

"People who come to places like this, just like me, all carry a sense of loneliness in their hearts."

"That person must be fantasizing about having a large group of friends."

"Ah! A guitar!!!"

A spirited shout interrupted a mile's worth of daydreams.

She saw the blonde girl with a single ponytail rushing towards her!

So fast!

By the time she realized what was happening, it was too late to escape!

A wild guitarist has been discovered!

The blonde girl threw out a Pokémon Master Ball.

"Is that a guitar you're carrying?! Can you even play it?!"

"Uh"

Yili wanted to speak, but due to social anxiety, she couldn't utter a single complete word.

blonde woman clasps her hands together in prayer position:

I'm so sorry to bother you!

"I am a second-year high school student at Shimokitazawa High School, and my name is Ijichi Nigatsu!"

Yili stammered:

"My name is Goto Ichiri, and I am a first-year student at Shuka High School."

"I've run into a little trouble! Could you come and be my band's temporary guitarist for a day?"

"We're about to perform, but the guitarist suddenly ran away!"

"Ounegai!"

On the other side, their voices could not be heard.

However, by referring to the interpersonal relationships between mygo and mujica, Lin Yuanshan was able to roughly know the content of their conversation.
