Losing money, mygo, what does it mean that I really lost money?

These are photos of a few first-generation trainees practicing.

"Oh, no, it's this."

Kawara Momoka glanced at it, then flipped through it again, and switched to a video on Bilibili.

The video title is, "[6 Supplements] Famous Virtual Streamer Mengmengxiang recounts her tragic experience of becoming pregnant and giving birth alone when she was young, and listeners are moved to tears (fictional editing and splicing)."

Momoka Kawahara simply doesn't understand the mindset of Bilibili fans; she just doesn't get it at all.

"What the hell is this?"

"This is a bit excessive. The agency has already contacted Bilibili to take action. However, since it's no different from your other edits, they can only manually review and block the video."

"Sigh, this is what happens when you're an idol. Even when I'm talking about classmates I know and some of my own life philosophies, it gets edited into something like I'm pregnant..."

Kawara no Momoka was already afraid.

When she searched for her own edits on YouTube, she mostly saw compliments like "Sister Mengmengxiang is so cute," while Bilibili was full of bizarre and unbelievable translated posts, calling her mother.

Even though I know it's all a joke, and Bilibili's revenue is quite high...

No matter what, she must have been in private contact with producer Imaizumi.

Although Momoka Kawahara isn't love-obsessed, Teruyuki Imai is definitely different.

Pretending to be drunk, Momoka Kawahara propped her chin on her hand, staring at his profile, silently thinking:

"After observing for so long, the president seems to be a single person focused on business, and the other young female entertainers are not worth worrying about... Hmm, I'll start by becoming his assistant in handling the affairs of the first generation. After all, I'm much more trustworthy than that unreliable second generation leader, right?"

Hehe, president, my president today...

Momoka Kawaragi is ready to start by becoming an important figure in his life and work!

Main text: Chapter 91, Chapter 87: Uncle, I need to speed up my money-making! (4 words)

Afternoon in Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

The weather is overcast and rainy.

It's raining today, a rare treat. Tokyo is getting very close to the rainy summer, gradually turning into something resembling an anime. The hazy rain and mist shimmered with neon lights, and the cool-toned city flowed on and on.

Vehicles sped by, splashing water that rippled across the ground. Small, fair feet in white socks and red shoes, and a long, golden side ponytail swaying under an umbrella, flashed by in the dense raindrops.

The figures of two blonde sisters, one tall and one short, arrived at the courtyard of the rehearsal room and swiped their access cards.

Ijichi Niyatsu wore her usual side ponytail; Ijichi Seika dressed herself up a bit, with two slightly curled blonde strands falling from her bangs to her chest, and her back adorned with long, straight, radiant blonde hair.

Her clothes made her look young; she appeared to be only five or six years older than Hongxia.

As she entered the courtyard, Ijichi Nijika's eyes sparkled:

"This is the first time I've known that the agency Yiqi has a separate training area. It's just like our LiveHose, it feels like a secret base!"

"Don't portray the stars as something unpopular."

"It's just that they're not popular, right? I looked up ExElio agency; they're known as a supernova, you know?"

As she spoke, Ichiji Nijika secretly glanced at her older sister.

Sure enough, her excitement was evident in her small gestures.

I wonder who could appreciate an older sister with such a personality. She's clearly a tsundere character, a rare sight even in anime these days, and a truly arrogant one at that. Is she perhaps an unwanted byproduct of my own existence?

A somewhat impolite thought flashed through Hongxia's mind as she pushed open the door.

In what appears to be a rest area near the rehearsal room entrance, a blue-haired girl with pigtails sat, propping her chin up with her hand and scribbling a pencil across a piece of paper.

"Um, hello! I'm Nijika Ichichi, the drummer from the third generation!"

“Ichi Hoshika is also a third-generation member.”

"Hello. I'm a second-generation member...Oblivionis." Toyokawa Shoko hesitated for a moment, but still didn't add the word "captain" that she would normally naturally follow up with, and continued to proudly introduce herself.

"Hello? Oh, hello senior!"

Ichi Nijika quickly changed her tune.

The moment I saw her, if this were an anime, the ahoge (cowlick) on Ijichi Nijika's head would definitely start spinning like a radar. This person who says "Gui An" (good morning/afternoon) is absolutely difficult to get along with!

A seemingly peaceful but inwardly cold young lady or something.

Ijichi Seika glanced around:

"I thought there would be a lot of people in the rehearsal room."

Toyokawa Shoko said, "One of the first-generation members went to London to adjust to the time difference, and all six members of the first generation got a short break. These days, during the day, it will probably just be the president, me, and Ps*Ple."

Kawara Momoka will be live-streaming tonight.

Overall, Xiangzi, Ala Lei, and Jin Zhaozhi have been stationed here for the past few days.

Although she can compose music at home, Toyokawa Shoko prefers to stay in the bright and clean rehearsal room rather than Akabane's home, where lights need to be turned on even during the day.

"You two have arrived, please come in."

Jin Zhaozhi put down the live streaming data report in his hand, took out the prepared contract, and handed it to the two of them.

After drinking soda at Momoka Kawaraki's house and handing her over to Izare Jinna, who was preparing for Yotsuba Women's University entrance exams alone, he returned to the rehearsal room.

Considering that more people will tend to stay in the rehearsal room in the future, he is already considering buying the adjacent residential building and transforming it into a place where artists can relax and unwind nearby.

Looking at Jin Zhaozhi, Toyokawa Shoko hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

The words of weakness reached his lips, but he swallowed them back and turned them into questions.

"Is the firm already preparing for the third generation of trainees?"

"It's just in the preparation stage. The agency doesn't have a particularly clear vision for the third generation members yet. They might have to wait until the second generation members debut and observe the market before they can have a clearer plan."

The first generation lays the foundation, the second generation conquers the world, and the third generation governs the world.

Jin Zhaozhi's plan is as follows: What kind of music style can govern the world and consolidate the entertainment empire built by the agency with two virtual anchor bands? He doesn't have a particularly good idea.

He's just a producer, not a professional musician.

"I see. I also heard that the agency signed Roseli?"

"Similar in positioning to Ps*Ple, but with greater independence. Perhaps unlike Ps*Ple, they won't accept Chinese songs. It's more like handing over the performance rights to their agency; it's just a collaboration..."

......

Maruyama Aya feels like she's been having a lot of bad luck lately.

For some reason, her conversations with Imaizumi were always interrupted by that pink-haired junior from the first generation.

Maruyama Aya was timid and afraid of being discovered, so she only dared to chat with the girl each time. Even so, she would be interrupted by the pink-haired junior named Chihaya Aine. Then, Chihaya Aine would join the conversation as a fan and shower her with compliments.

Maruyama Aya didn't want to neglect her fans, so she continued talking to the pink-haired junior. In the end, she could only watch helplessly as Ima Teruyuki left, having finally managed to slip away from the opportunity.

Chihaya Aine went to England today; perhaps her nemesis has disappeared.

In addition, perhaps it's because the president is offering such good treatment, but Aya Maruyama always feels that the blonde artists in the agency look at the president in a strange way.

It's not the way a subordinate looks at their superior.

For example, Arale Nakamachi, and Momoka Kawahara, who isn't exactly blonde, both evoke this feeling. There's also Goto Ichiri, a second-generation member with similar hair color and personality. Although she seems nice to the president, it's like they're hitting the same level...it's like their personalities are clashing.

Maruyama Aya muttered to herself. She didn't know why she was thinking this way, or why she'd been so troubled by it lately; perhaps it was because she cared so much about the company president. (8)

And then, today. Dirty.

Two more blondes have arrived!

"why is it like this......"

Maruyama Ayase finished her practice and immediately saw the two new blonde entertainers. The shimmering blonde side ponytails swayed slightly, instantly captivating Maruyama Ayase, who was peeking from behind the door. (Yanagi)

Cai Cai almost bit the handkerchief to pieces:

"Another blonde child, blonde hair is so dazzling."

Could it be that the president actually prefers blonde idols to pink-haired ones?

She glanced at Shiraki Chisato with eyes that looked like they were about to cry, and Shiraki Chisato tilted her head.

"These two seem to be third-generation members. The agency is developing really fast... Aya? What's wrong?"

"I...I bit my tongue, it's okay."

Maruyama Aya quickly disguised her true feelings.

Hikawa Hina jumped out.

"CaiCai! I heard the president signed Roseli. Does that mean I'll be able to see her here soon? Hey, I'm going to use my seniority to bully her!"

Roseli's guitarist, Hikawa Saya, is Hikawa Hina's older sister. This amazing younger sister's victims are clearly not limited to Haneoka's people; her older sister is a prime example, and also a seasoned gossip.

After rambling on for a while, Hina Hikawa tilted her head to look at Aya Maruyama:

"Caicai, why aren't you saying anything? What are you looking at?"

"It seems to be a third-generation member," Maruyama Aya answered honestly in a low voice.

"Oh! So they're third-generation members, and they even look like sisters? How interesting, I want to go play with President Jin!" Before Maruyama Aya could stop her, Hikawa Hina immediately darted out.

Then, she watched as Hina Hikawa came to face with Ima Teruyuki, whom Maruyama Aya might not even speak to once every two days, and began to have a friendly conversation with him, exchanging ideas about live streaming.

Afterwards, Hikawa Hina received praise and recognition from Imaizumi, and like a husky puppy being stroked on the head by its owner, she smiled happily, her virtual tail wagging wildly. Clearly, this wasn't the first time Hikawa Hina had been praised by Imaizumi, nor was it the first time she had discussed novel livestreaming ideas with him.

two"......"

Maruyama Aya could only clench her fists, her eyes welling up with tears again.

She would suffer in silence, even though she didn't know why she felt wronged.

Lin led her out of her predicament and away from the chaotic management of her former agency. Now, she's leading the agency to prosperity, and her virtual artists have already reached their third cohort. She should be happy, right? But seeing Hina now, a certain emotion is becoming increasingly difficult to suppress.

"Cai Cai, are you really okay?"

"I know! Cai Cai's thought is, 'Oh, heavens, how could you be so cruel to me!' right?"

Martial arts...

The Ijichi sisters signed the contract and officially became contracted artists with the agency.

Fourthly, because the third generation of trainees hasn't been fully assembled yet, including the somewhat aloof yet enthusiastic Yamada Ryo, there are actually only three people, and the two sisters have nothing to do right now.

Ima Teruyuki originally intended to form a team with Ijichi Seika as the leader, just like she had done with Toyokawa Shoko, but Ijichi Seika stated that she would only sing songs written by her younger sister, and pushed the team to Ijichi Nijika. In addition, Ima Teruyuki was afraid that the third generation members would repeat the mistakes of the second generation members, so she put the matter on hold for the time being, and would wait until she had recruited someone.

Better than the second generation members, both sisters have great personalities. Ijichi Nijika quickly became friends with Toyokawa Shoko and others, and even Kamito Hikawa Hina, making her a super positive person. Ijichi Hoshika seems a bit lazy, but she seems to listen to her younger sister and is also helping her sister socialize.

Sure enough, you have to find someone from the sunny corner to form a band.

Imaizumi felt that inviting the Ijichi sisters was absolutely the right thing to do.

The artists chatted for a while, then Jin Zhaozhi called them to a meeting, which the Yiji sisters could listen in on. The first and second generation members who couldn't come were also on the phone.

"With two virtual YouTubers and Ps*Ple, plus Roseli who we signed and RS who we have a partnership with, the agency has already started to develop. Let's talk about the direction of our operations going forward."

Looking at the group of people, young and old, Jin Zhaozhi felt a great sense of accomplishment. They were all figures he had helped build his empire in the music and idol industries.

8. "First of all, there's the streamer-game collaboration. Yang Gongfei has been elected as the second-generation village chief of the shared homestead, and I plan to have her invite you all to join the MC server so that everyone can participate in the shared homestead."

"Oh! I want to play! Aya, let's be the third generation together! If we mobilize the fans, the first generation can't beat us, right?" Hikawa Hina immediately became excited.

"Let's discuss the script with the first generation members; we won't discuss that now."

6 Jin Zhaozhi brought the topic back, "Then, it's time for the joint performance. Since the name is ElioFes, all the signed artists will naturally be there. The rehearsal time is set for the day after tomorrow, a paid live stream on both YouTube and Bilibili, with a total estimated viewership of 10."

He operated it on the big screen.

The three presented a group photo of 25 people in different poses, including the 3D virtual avatars of the first and second generation members, Ps*Ple, Roseli, and RS, with the title "Elio1stFes" written on it.

This ElioFes event is expected to last for two hours and includes 18 songs, including MC segments between each band.

The first generation members and Ps*Ple each have six tracks, including the highly popular "Spring Shadow," "BIBIDIB," "Bustling," and "Sbtitle." The second generation members and other bands each have two tracks, including the very high-quality tracks "Black Sheep" and "Silent Majority" by the second generation members.

If it weren't for this unexpected accident involving Wakaba Mutsu, the performance would have been perfect.

"10 viewers, we..." Toyokawa Shoko clasped his hands together, looking at Ima Teruyuki with a somewhat silly smile, "announcing to the industry the arrival of our Black Sheep..."

"10 viewers?" Ichiji Hoshika scratched his head.

Now, she understood what it meant to be a narrow student band versus the powerful hand of capital. Beside her, Ijichi Nijika was also lost in her own fantasy: 10 people watching—that was an exaggeration.

Xingge asked, "What about the tickets?"

"Online it's 4000 yen, plus a free gift worth 1500 yen. The LiveHose offline price is much higher, slightly lower than the industry average of 7000 yen. The price on Bilibili is about the same."
