Starting with the Herrscher, mowing down enemies without equal.

"Are you spending money for your little family?"

My colleague gritted his teeth and said, "Why don't I watch the live stream anymore? The backstabbing by the Pink Fairy is still fresh in my mind... Well, it really was just two days ago."

He went from being a fan to a hater!

An Yu, you damn social butterfly!

An Yu: ...

He wisely ended the topic, regained his composure, and decided to continue to express his inner love, adding more details to the character of the girl with crystal eyes that would turn slightly red with sadness when she was heartbroken.

The names will be kept for now, but given the boss's habit of including the names of his real-life friends in the game, he will probably do so.

Before long, a familiar melody faintly reached my ears.

"Why are there always stars at night?"

Why are your eyes always so bright?

Why does this song have a DJ track?! And who listens to music on speakerphone while working?!

An Yu subconsciously looked around and found that others were also looking up to find the source of the sound, until they finally pinpointed it to the ground floor.

To be precise, it was at the company entrance that Kiana, the lead singer, was holding a guitar.

"Looks familiar?"

I don't know who was muttering that.

"A friend of the boss, currently the most reliable modeler in the company."

Zhong An gave a brief introduction, but his gaze was drawn to the pink-haired girl beside him. His older sister, who was supposed to be the lead singer and lead guitarist, was now holding a four-string guitar... which was also a bass, and silently accompanying him.

If it weren't for her good looks, probably no one would have noticed her older sister's existence; Kiana's presence is too strong... However, rhythm guitar is usually the lead vocalist.

The group chat asked, "Why is she here so early today?"

Someone muttered something, since Kiana comes to the company every day at noon, and everyone is used to it. After all, she's willing to help Reson Studio with modeling, and if there are any problems, she'll find someone else to solve them herself.

Qi Anyu's gaze finally settled on the young girls watching downstairs, and he glanced at the time.

Si'an said: "Friendly reminder, it's 7:58 now, you have 2 minutes to check in."

Yiling: "!"

The Lu'an dialect has returned to its proper place. Internal love is one thing, but if it's not handled properly, internal love can become a target of public criticism, and then internal love can easily turn into external hatred.

At this moment, downstairs in the office building, Alicia had never felt so annoyed by anyone before. She couldn't even understand why someone would want someone else's younger brother's reward.

"My bias towards you is no longer a secret; the sweetness overflows from my eyes!"

Kiana's slender fingers continued to pluck the guitar strings, while Kiana looked at Alicia, who was gradually falling silent, with a slight sense of confusion.

Eighth, did I act too hastily?

For the reward, she brought so much stuff by herself, including Bronya's entire drum set.

An Yu's older sister is so aloof.

“Wuhu!!”

When the song ended, Kiana looked at the passersby who had gathered around her, but she wasn't shy at all.

"So, what are we doing bringing these musical instruments here?"

She scratched her head.

"Let's work together to build rapport beforehand, after all, we're a team."

"And friendship, bonds, dreams, and the future—these factors may bind our destinies together."

Alicia was making notes for the girl in her mind, but her smile remained clear.

After all, while the events of the morning couldn't be ignored, the band thing was something that would make her very happy.

"Isn't this your band?"

Kiana was even more confused.

Alicia: ...

That's how it should be, but things are unpredictable. She's no longer the older sister at home, and it even feels like she's not even in the same ecological niche as the younger sister.

Waaah~ She never imagined that Xiaoyu was such a twisted child.

"I understand!"

Kiana slammed her fist into her palm, looking at the beautiful girl who seemed neither happy nor sad, but rather somewhat indifferent to her fate.

"You're actually An Yu's wingman, aren't you!"

After all, there are four members in the band: Alicia, An Yu, Kiana, and Bronya... Anyone with eyes can see who the outsiders are.

Yes, it's you!

Creator: Alicia!

Volume 1: Chapter 63, Section 62: Petty-minded

It was almost lunchtime, close to the end of the workday.

"Hey hey hey~ Senior~"

Ling clasped her hands together, a strand of her cherry-colored hair falling loosely, her expression full of pleading. °7∨8·□

Looking at the extra milk tea on the side, An Yu hesitated for two seconds, not understanding what Ling was up to.

"Is there another problem with the code?"

Don't you have a mentor? Why are you always coming to me? Aren't you afraid that Sister Xiaoli is keeping a mental record of this?

Oh, you got in through connections, so you're not afraid.

"Uh, there is indeed a problem."

Ling scratched her head, but this must be due to the company's feng shui.

She shook her head: "But I'm not bothering you this time because of something like that."

She can ask Sister Xiaoli about most coding problems, or even have her sister remotely possess her through software.

And what's more! She has four years of work experience!

"Then what do you want to do?"

An Yu pushed the milk tea away. Unsolicited kindness is always suspicious.

We can't be careless just because the little girl looks harmless; there are countless examples of people making a mistake that can lead to irreversible consequences.

Ling sniffed: "Senior~ you know, I have four years of work experience, four years!"

She didn't go on a trip even once during her four years of university. She thought that her sister's job was not easy, and she had been working hard at school.

As a result, I just graduated, and my older sister has already made it big... Waaah, I'm still the younger sister who's being helped along.

"I know, and I've heard you say it way too many times, so what?"

"I never had a proper time to play during college."

Speaking of university, Ling suddenly felt a little tempted to polish her pearls.

"..."

"Then your talent is quite poor," An Yu thought. She thought the other party was doing it part-time, but she didn't expect it to be a full-time job during university... and after four years of full-time work, she was still not very skilled at her job.

"and then?"

An Yu still didn't understand.

"I want to join a band too!"

She wants to try it too!

An Yu leaned back strategically: "Where did you hear about this?"

"I asked the pink fairy down below."

Miss Pink Fairy didn't say who they were, but Ling isn't autistic, so she already knew the siblings had a good relationship.

Moreover, Kiana is the boss's friend. This band can not only play, but also extend their future careers. It's really... not bad!

An Yu remained silent for a long time: "What can you do?"

None of us are that talented, and the skill gap isn't that big. Anyway, we've only just started the adjustment period. If Ling is good, she might even be a key player.

Besides Kiana, I heard from the boss that Kiana focused on things outside of her major courses in college, so she is very skilled in musical instruments.

Ling blinked her big eyes: "I can be your bassist and help you order takeout and take out the trash."

She hopes to gradually integrate into the band, discover her hobbies, and experience a colorful life.

An Yu sighed, "Alright, that's enough. We've heard enough bass jokes. You can take it away now."

"Tell me the truth, what are you really thinking?"

"I'm a fan of Pink Fairy, and I want to take a picture with my idol to remember the moment! I also want to improve my impression of her."

Ling took a deep breath and whispered it out.

This way, you can not only have fun and experience a life you didn't have in college, but also find your hobbies and improve your relationship with your boss. She wins three times!

An Yu was taken aback: "Aren't you supposed to be studying all the time in college? Why is your idol a pink fairy?"

Ling tilted her head and asked, "Do people really not open the small window when they're working?"

Watching anime or reading novels is too difficult. Usually, I just listen to music or watch live streams. When I'm busy, I turn off the sound of the live stream, and when I'm not busy, I just watch what the streamer is up to.

Moreover, outdoor streamers like Pink Fairy used to focus on a lighthearted approach.

An Yu remained silent for a long time, then suddenly burst out laughing.

"At such a young age, he's already learning bad habits; he really has the air of his elders."

"I'll ask for you, it should be fine."

To put it simply, as long as you're not too bad, you can be a bassist without any problems.

Thank you so much! I'll treat you to lunch!

"No need, my older sister is downstairs."

Can I come along?

Ling tried to make the most of her looks, though with little success.

"You know, senior, my sister and Miss Fairy are good friends, and you and I are colleagues, so it's practically like we're family!"

Ling was certain of one thing: as long as she could sneak in at noon today and not mess things up, things with the band and her future job would be much easier.

Human relationships are cold and indifferent; the world is fickle; Ling

An Yu: ...

Your sister is a point deduction in my eyes, and... how did you round off? Who's family with you?!

"Are you very close to my sister?"

"The fairy doesn't dislike me anyway."

After learning that Ling was Sakura's younger sister, Alicia became noticeably closer to her.

"...Let's go together then."

An Yu shifted her gaze back to the screen. Her older sister's personality wasn't necessarily bad; after all, Ling was Ying's younger sister.

Although An Yu's impression of Ying was that she was a "bad friend," upon closer reflection, aside from being a little good-looking, her older sister might also be seen as a bad friend or a vixen by other parents.

Perhaps other parents are also having headaches about how to keep their children away from Alicia, this bad influence.

However, Sakura and Rei don't have this problem; they are orphans.

Ling stood behind, watching boldly.

"With so many settings, is the previous civilization still going to follow the same path?" she wondered.

An Yu paused for a moment. Oh right, too many settings were given, which would make the early stages seem too mediocre.

"Let's add another setting: childhood persecution, because they know humanity's hostility towards the Honkai, so they dare not expose themselves."
