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

No, what if this student band is also just made up of beginners and won't last long? Or maybe she values ​​her own personality and character more, and is more focused on being a virtual streamer. If she gets in, maybe she can even become one of the band's leaders in practice after all this time...

Kita Ikuyo tried to deceive herself.

"That's great! Coming to LiveHose definitely brings good luck." Nagasaki Motoyo smiled. "The moment I saw you, I felt you were a very cheerful and easy-going person. I wonder what I should call you? The other members will be here later..."

She was interrupted halfway through her speech by Kita Ikuyo.

"wrong!"

Kita Ikuyo, as expected, could no longer deceive herself.

Nagasaki Motoyo responded with a soft "Eh":

"What's wrong?"

Kita Ikuyo clenched her fists, overcoming her psychological pressure, and tactfully revealed the truth: "...My guitar skills are terrible! Thank you for the invitation, but my skills are really too poor. I'd better practice for a while longer. If you still want to invite me then, I'll accept..."

"Technical expertise? Of course, no problem."

Nagasaki Motoyo pinched her index finger and rubbed it. "We're just a student band. Virtual YouTubers are just loose part-time jobs. Let's work hard together from scratch."

"really?"

Kita Ikuyo's eyes lit up.

“Yes.” Nagasaki Motoyo nodded with a smile.

"Well, in that case, I'd like to join you! I'm actually quite fascinated by virtual YouTubers; my classmates are all talking about it."

Kita Ikuyo's face instantly brightened. "Just call me Kita, or Little Kita is fine too. Nice to meet you, Senpai!"

Even when her senior called her "senpai," Nagasaki Motoyo thoughtfully added:

"Furthermore, Kita-kun, the marks on your fingers are quite obvious; they're the result of practicing guitar for a long time. No one will reject beginners who are just starting out; they'll only reject lazy people."

Because of her own habit of pinching her fingers, she also likes to observe other people's fingers. Kita Ikuyo's fingertips show obvious signs of practicing guitar.

If you're playing bass, it's the side of your fingers.

Furthermore, members of the band, such as Hachiman Kairin and Shiina Tatsuki, are not the type to nitpick newcomers. If a beginner like Kita Ikuyo were to join the band, Shiina Tatsuki would most likely encourage the others to work harder as seniors, rather than criticizing her skills.

"A guitarist with terrible technique..."

Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly remembered watching the MyGO radio drama.

Just like the plot of the MyGO radio drama, I actually found a guitarist in real life who has some guitar background but is currently very bad at playing...

Is this the fate that Xiaoxiang was talking about?

As for why she invited Kita Ikuyo to join the band? It was probably just a gut feeling.

Motoyo Nagasaki felt that Ikuyo Kita was a very easy person to get along with, and she wanted a good atmosphere more than pursuing the technical skills of a professional musician.

Yu∞Han:b∠￣Five§。 【—6泀－＜牭二 An atmosphere that allows me to frequently collaborate with E社.

......

Shiina Tatsuki finished her part-time job and went to RiNG's practice room.

Because she worked at the store, renting a practice room was very convenient for her, and she discovered that the real owner of RiNG was the store manager she had met briefly during her Crychic days. She commented that she and Arale were the only two people she felt comfortable standing on stage with...

Having not seen Nagasaki Motoyo for over half a month, Shiina Tatsuki complained, "Why did it take you so long to find a guitarist and vocalist? You haven't forgotten about the virtual YouTuber agency, have you?"

"Haha." Nagasaki Motoyo could only laugh politely.

Yawata Kairin glanced at her, shrugged, and drank a beverage without saying a word.

"You bastard!" Shiina Ritsuki complained. "You said you were going to accompany a newbie who wasn't good at guitar... but you clearly didn't hire anyone at all, and just picked someone randomly, didn't you?"

“Lixi’s words are really too much,” Nagasaki Motoyo said.

Motoyo Nagasaki is a person who thinks more than she acts.

She doesn't actually have any particular ideas; her mind is very simple, but she does have more ideas than actions.

Even though no one came to Crychic, which she cared about a lot, she basically didn't do anything. She just sent a few messages to Toyokawa Shoko, and when she didn't get a reply, she put them aside. Maybe she had considerations about politeness and attitude, but in any case, the result was that she did nothing.

She was put in charge of the band's affairs, but the result is that there has been no progress for half a month. With the band members' gathering approaching, they temporarily found someone at LiveHose.

Upon meeting Kita Ikuyo, Shiina Tatsuki's confusion deepened.

"This is the new member of Shosaki you found?"

What catches the eye is bright apple-red hair and the other person's cheerful, smiling face. Their smile is warm and inviting; just looking at it brings joy.

However, the problem is...

Shiina Tatsuki looked at the six-string bass that Kita Ikuyo had taken out and felt completely confused: "But isn't this a bass? There are already two bassists in the band. You switched to violin, fine, but why did you bring in another bassist?"

"Huh?" Kita Ikuyo blinked.

"I see, so it's time to change the person?"

Yahata Kairin pinched her chin.

Compared to that, she was actually more interested in Kita Ikuyo's six-string bass, "Ibnez BTB846SC, which has a market price of 16 yen. I've had my eye on it for a long time but haven't decided to buy it yet."

Nagasaki Motoyo also fell into deep thought.

All three eyes focused on Kita Ikuyo, and then, Kita Ikuyo melted. She seemed to lose all her strength, pressing herself against the wall, her voice trembling with sobs, "My money! I bought this after borrowing two years' worth of allowance and New Year's money! How could this happen!..."

"...Is this what you meant by 'no matter how much you practice, you can't get it right'? Don't you find that strange? Even if your technique is terrible, you can't make the guitar sound like a bass, right?"

"I..." Kita Ikuyo was already unable to utter a sound.

"At least that proves it's not that Kita-kun's talent is the problem." Nagasaki Motoyo forced a smile. "I've had my eye on this bass for a long time. How about we sell it to Hailin or to me later? Kita-kun can just be the lead vocalist. Anyway, let's discuss when we'll debut as a broadcaster?"

She no longer cared what happened to Kita Ikuyo.

As long as Shiina Tatsuki is there, and we can collaborate with her on projects like Arale Nakamachi and Shoko Toyokawa from ExElio, that's fine. Kita Ikuyo's situation is completely irrelevant.

"However, I won't treat her like Aine did with MyGO."

Nagasaki Motoyo reminded herself of this.

......

Toyoshima Ward, next to the rehearsal room.

This two-story detached house was bought directly by Jin Zhaozhi, who uses it as an office and for writing lyrics for himself and his artists. He even did some minor renovations. Although it's called an office building, it's more like a large rest area, complete with a refrigerator, cold drinks and snacks, game consoles and game cartridges, and even croquettes sponsored by forgerglow.

Music director Mio Akiyama went to the refrigerator, pulled out a bottle of water, and gurgled it.

She had just finished giving vocal lessons to a few high school students from her agency.

Lying on the sofa, Akiyama Mio took out her phone and glanced at it, only to find that her old classmate Hirasawa Yui, whom she usually only contacted once a week, had sent her a message.

[Please, I beg you, even if you don't pay me, please let my sister work for you! My sister hasn't worked for a whole year, she's practically a useless person I'm supporting at home, this can't go on!]

"...Ahahaha."

Akiyama Mio laughed silently.

This was obviously posted by Yui Hirasawa's sister. Unfortunately, she didn't want to appoint someone she knew, nor did she dare to let someone like Yui Hirasawa, who seemed like a weakling, teach the artists.

If she really wants to find a job, why not let Qin Chui play it? Just arrange for her to be the manager of a music store.

Goodbye, Akiyama-nee~

Several adorable young performers waved goodbye to her, and Akiyama Mio responded with a polite and mature smile.

Then, she leaned back on the sofa, her thoughts drifting aimlessly.

Kotobuki? She's also a member of the after-school tea party band, and she's a keyboardist from a wealthy family.

Speaking of which, keyboardist and young lady... is there some compatibility between these two identities? However, Kotobuki? Her personality is much better than Toyokawa Shoko's, perhaps.

Checking my phone again, I saw a message from the big boss, Jin Zhaozhi.

[Maya Tendo has arrived. Ryo Yamada has some reservations about the jazz style. Let's take a look.]

“Hey, hey, swelling turn≥：nine÷∥跁儿ˉ〕four∪～sn{≯伶伍工作工作。

......

The light of the moon, the love of the stars, gather countless rays of light and send them to your heart—

"Maya Tendo of the New National First Opera Company, my proudest role is the opera 'Strlight' - Goddess of Pride, which I rehearsed with my high school classmates. Nice to meet you."

Maya Tendo, proud yet not arrogant, introduced herself with a faint smile.

Nijika Ichichi cheered enthusiastically, "Oh my, so this is a star of the opera world! Such a strong presence, such dazzling charisma, completely different from ordinary people!"

"An interesting woman," commented Lena.

"It feels great." Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs up.

At first glance, upon hearing the emphasis in Maya Tendo's self-introduction, the other third-generation members knew that Teruyuki Ima's judgment was correct. Moreover, his connections were also impressive.

Now, the third generation of ExElio's team has assembled:

Lead vocalist, Maya Tendo.

Guitarist, Kaname.

Bassist: Ryo Yamada.

Drummer, Ichiji Nijika.

As for Ijichi Seika, she was previously the guitarist in the band, but she can also play the saxophone and bass, so she will play the saxophone, which basically sets the tone for the third generation of members as jazz.

Jin Zhaozhi carefully observed the group for a long time and found no one who was quiet, which put him at ease. What he feared most was someone suddenly becoming silent and then bursting into a huge outburst.

Just like the first generation, the third generation members are all very nice people.

They debuted in one generation, prepared in another, and trained in yet another. The lead vocalists all possess exceptionally strong abilities. They are just like Arale Nakamachi, Nina Izare, and Maya Tendo—E-Company's three best vocalists!
