What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

Ijichi Seika knocked on the door of the recording studio, stopping the band members from fooling around after they finished their game.

Chapter 148 Aren't there too many genius girls?

"The legendary End Band...it really is a group of girls."

The sound engineer, invited by Garden Feather, looked at the four young and beautiful girls in the recording studio with a somewhat surprised tone.

Having worked in the music industry for so long, she knew all too well the ins and outs of it, but this also made her thinking so deeply ingrained that before actually meeting Ichiji Nijika and the others, she still thought that the all-girls [End Band] was just a gimmick created by some company for publicity.

Unexpectedly, the "persons involved" in the band were actually these four beautiful girls.

Moreover, according to the beautiful boss who hired her to record the album, in addition to the End Band, another girl band will also be performing, and their performance will be no less impressive than the End Band's. Their music will be absolutely amazing!

"But who is that man? His manager? He seems a little...too close to them, doesn't he?"

Seeing Chen Xiao's close interaction with the four members of the End Band, the sound engineer had a familiar feeling, as if she were seeing those rock bands she had encountered before, with their chaotic male-female relationships.

The former looks like multiple women pointing arrows at a single man, while the latter is a chaotic network of arrows between multiple men and women, like an electrical circuit, or a time bomb.

'It should be fine, right...'

As Chen Xiao walked out of the recording studio, the sound engineer curiously observed him for a moment and found that the man looked ordinary; she would have subconsciously ignored him under normal circumstances.

'Looks like I was overthinking it. Would a girl who plays rock music even be interested in an ordinary guy like that? He's probably just one of that garden lady's employees.'

With that thought in mind, the sound engineer stopped worrying.

This was clearly influenced by Neko's (cat's) abilities, but Chen Xiao only activated the minimum level of cognitive influence, leaving others with a level where they could barely remember him, but would have difficulty recalling who he was afterward.

So the sound engineer quickly got into the zone and signaled to the end band in the recording studio that they could begin tuning.

Om-!

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Goto Ichiri's guitar playing, the sound engineer's formulaic expression instantly changed. Then, the others also began to try playing a piece, which completely dispelled the last bit of doubt in her mind.

Not far behind the sound engineer, Chen Xiao walked up to Ichiji Hoshika and asked, "Hoshika, are we going to wait here for Hongxia and the others to finish recording?"

"Well, after all, it's my sister's first album recording."

Ichika nodded, then said with a half-smile.

"But you, shouldn't you go outside and comfort Jing Qinrencai? Because of that last time... um, their debut date for the Thorn Group has been postponed again."

"That's true, so rather than going to get in trouble with Rencai, I'd rather stay here with you!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao leaned against Ichiji Hoshika and reached out to embrace her.

"Hey! There are outsiders here!"

Ijichi Hoshika's previously calm expression suddenly turned panicked.

"It's okay, she won't notice us... Besides, Xingge, your idea seems even more outrageous than mine. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would start something anytime, anywhere?"

Chen Xiao gently stroked Xing Ge's cheek as if teasing a cat.

"Well……!"

A blush instantly spread across Ijichi Hoshika's face when she was mentioned.

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have mental abilities... Damn it! What if Hongxia and the others see this?!"

Ichiko struggled slightly, but in the end she collapsed weakly into Chen Xiao's arms. It was unclear whether she was no match for Chen Xiao's strength or because she never intended to escape and was just pretending to play a game.

"Don't worry, they can't see it from this angle."

After saying that, Chen Xiao reached out and lifted Ichiji Hoshika's chin, silencing her.

Half an hour later.

After finishing their performance, Ichiji Nikka and the others came out covered in sweat.

"To do it all in one go...that's amazing!"

The sound engineer felt that even without her tuning, their original sound was enough to blow most bands in the industry away!

"Hehe...it's not that amazing~!"

Upon receiving the praise, Goto Ichiri flashed a smile reminiscent of Shin-chan from Crayon Shin-chan.

However, when they saw Ichiji Seika and Chen Xiao not far away, the four of them instantly sharpened their eyes, because this pair of 'adulterous people' were also covered in sweat, their hair was disheveled because of the sweat, and some of it was even stuck to their faces. Ichiji Seika's shirt had many more inexplicable wrinkles.

"Sister, stealing food is wrong."

"Ichi Nijika pouted and complained."

If Xingge weren't her sister, even she would have exploded in the face of such a blatant act by her wife!

"Feel sorry……"

With an apologetic look, Ichiji Hoshika poked Chen Xiao in the stomach and whispered, "It's all your fault!"

"Hehe~"

Chen Xiao showed no sign of learning from this experience.

Then the members of the Thorn Gang were allowed to come in and record. When the group entered the recording studio, the first people they saw were Chen Xiao and Ijichi Hoshika.

"Tsk...!"

Jing Qinren noticed the abnormality between the two at first glance. Her face turned slightly red, and she muttered "shameless" under her breath. She reached out and poked Chen Xiao in the waist, then stormed into the recording studio.

"Xiao, although I know you're a real adult now, you should still consider the circumstances when it comes to these things."

As an 'adult,' Momoka Kawahara reprimanded him in a serious tone.

Chen Xiao also has reason to refute this.

"You, who dragged me into the fitting room in the clothing store, have the right to say that?"

"Forehead……"

Tao Xiang guiltily looked away and remained silent.

"Well, as long as outsiders don't find out, it'll be fine. We're all family, aren't we?"

Lupa had no objection to this.

"Even so...you should still pay attention to your image! If this continues, Xiao will become more and more perverted."

Ebizuka Tomo blushed slightly and tugged at Lupa's sleeve, signaling her not to go along with Chen Xiao so much.

"It already went through a perverted phase not long ago."

An and Subaru muttered something under their breath, which immediately froze Ebizuka Satoshi, causing his legs to tremble involuntarily.

Although the physical effects have worn off, the mental effects are still there.

The female sound engineer on the other side, watching the interaction of the group, although influenced by Chen Xiao's abilities and unaware that what they were saying was inappropriate, still felt that a group of beautiful girls surrounding a man was a bit strange.

However, she was just doing her job for money; let the employer worry about the emotional issues between the employees.

She then signaled to Inoue Rina and others who had entered the recording studio to audition.

Om-!

As Momoka Kawahara's guitar playing began, the sound engineer was stunned again.

"Wait, when did so many talented young girls suddenly appear in the rock music scene?"

The sound engineer felt as if she had traveled through time to a world where girls could also become rock and roll geniuses.

Chapter 149 Holy crap! Ice!

The sound engineer clearly underestimated the abilities of Jingqin Rencai and her team. After the performance of "Bustling, Our City" was over, she was completely dumbfounded.

Who am I? Where am I? What did they just play?

"Are you OK?"

Seeing the sound engineer standing there in a daze, Chen Xiao stepped forward and snapped his fingers near her ear to bring her back to her senses.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I was just too shocked..."

The sound engineer, regaining her senses, apologized to Chen Xiao with an embarrassed expression. She thought the band's performance during the audition was already outrageous, but the moment the young girl in the middle of the band started singing, she was given a 'mental shock'.

The singing was so urgent and full of emotion.

This is not a song that just anyone can sing!

Compared to the lead singer of the band End...

Well, the two bands have different styles, so it's hard to say which one is better or worse overall.

'But that's even more outrageous!!!'

The sound engineer screamed inwardly.

The emergence of the band "End" was already enough to shake the industry, but now a supermodel girl band has suddenly appeared. I wonder how many bands and music companies will be wiped out!

But what does this have to do with me?

I'm just an ordinary sound engineer, and I won't lose my job because of this. In fact, I've even found a powerful backer.

The sound engineer said: "It's such a great honor to be able to do the sound mixing and recording for the End Band and the Thornless Band's album!"

After the recording ended, Chen Xiao left with the bands from End of the Band and Thornless Band, since the album needed some time to adjust before the final product could be released.

Upon arriving downstairs, Mei Mei, the personal maid of Hana Hana, had been waiting by the car for quite some time.

Speaking of which, this maid, who comes from the same work as Hanazono Hauri, is quite amazing. She has a pair of rainbow-colored eyes, and in "Ninja vs. Alien: The Legend of the Eyes," she would definitely have an incredibly overpowered ability.

As for that car, it certainly wasn't one that Chen Xiao borrowed from a friend; it was a luxury car that he bought in Garden Feather Lane, enough to make passersby involuntarily glance at it.

As for the funding for purchasing luxury cars...

In the eyes of the funeral home, money is not money, but a string of numbers.

Of course, this wasn't Chen Xiao's private car. Garden Yuyu was all set to go to a car dealership with him sometime, letting him experience what it's like to be 'kept by a rich woman'.

It's just a bit of fun between lovers.

"Master Xiao, are you going straight home, or would you like to stroll around downtown Shanghai some more?"

Mei Mei bowed and opened the passenger door for Chen Xiao, and asked him a question respectfully.

"No need, let's just go home."

Chen Xiao waved his hand and got into the driver's seat.

Following closely behind were Ijichi Nijika and the others, who sat in the back seat, filling the space perfectly with the four little ones.

Of course, there was another automatic car behind, otherwise one car wouldn't be enough to carry so many people.

"Was this prepared especially for me?"

Because Mei Mei specifically reminded her that it was an automatic transmission, Momoka Kawahara instinctively sensed a hint of 'persecution'.

It's just that in the original work, the manual transmission stalled when starting!

Is it really necessary to target me like this?

and……

"You want me to drive this kind of luxury car?"

Facing the car keys in Mei's hand, Momoka Kawahara was sweating profusely, afraid of making a fool of herself.

"Lupa?"

mmk turned to look at another person in the group who could drive, only to see that the other person was holding a bottle of beer. Apparently, after the recording ended, she found that there was beer for sale in the vending machine and bought a bottle because she had a craving for alcohol.

"Sorry, you can't drive after drinking."

Lupa took another sip as he spoke.

Kawaraki Momoka:......
