To put it simply, a band will have considerable expenses before it becomes famous.
Even though it was their first performance, whether it was Kasumigaoka from Toyosaki or the others, or because of Hayasaka Ai, they recommended this place to the Classical Literature Department.
This group of people basically only come once, unless they really like someone, otherwise they will only come once for the sake of their classmates.
That means if Xiao Gu Du and the others fail to reach the target next time, they will have to work to earn money...
"Store...Manager! Have you been watching?"
After selling the tickets, Ichichi Hoshige turned around and touched Little Lonely's head.
"Ah, I saw it all clearly from the terrible beginning to the acceptable middle part."
Xiao Gudu looked a little depressed, "Sorry... Manager, in fact, most of these visitors were recruited by Ling..."
Uchiha Ling looked at Xiao Gu Du and said, "At least half of these people are here because of you. Be more confident."
Little Lonely: "For someone like me?"
"Well, it's for you. So work hard this weekend and keep the Bond Band going. Don't worry about how hard the road ahead will be."
"Keep going! As long as you keep moving forward, the road will continue to extend... So don't stop... Guitar Hero."
Uchiha Ling said the last sentence very softly, but Goto Ichiri heard it clearly.
Yes! I am a guitar hero! This is my first official performance, and the Bond Band will definitely be a success regardless of the weather!
Chapter 152 Give your heart!
Yukinoshita Haruno: "Hello, Ling-san, why are you suddenly planning an outdoor performance? Are you planning to form a band?"
Uchiha Ling picked up the guitar sent by the Shinomiya family, "No, I'm just doing a favor as a classmate and friend."
Yukinoshita Haruno took a few steps forward and put her arm around Uchiha Ling's shoulders.
"Is that so... Junior Ling is really gentle. If that's the case...would you like to help your sister as well?"
Uchiha Ling said casually, "If I can do it, I will consider it."
"How about giving Yukino something for me?"
Uchiha Ling: "Giving a gift? Why don't you just go and give it to her directly? Why do you need me to come?"
Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, "You know that we sisters have a little conflict. Yukino doesn't pay much attention to me, so she probably won't want the things I give her, so I asked you to pass it to him!"
"I can give you something, but what does Yukinoshita-senpai want me to pass on to Yukino-san?"
Yukinoshita Haruno tapped Uchiha Ling's chest.
"Heart....can I?"
Uchiha Ling: "If you are here to make fun of me, forget it. Our outdoor performance is over and we are ready to go back to Fanxing."
"Hahaha, well~ Ling-san is not funny at all. But as a student of Xiuzhiyuan, haven't you heard of it at all?"
The unique cultural festival of Shuchiin Academy is also called the Heart Festival... and offering one's heart also represents eternal love.
Uchiha Ling looked at Yukinoshita Haruno speechlessly, "You want to have eternal love with your sister? Yukinoshita-senpai, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
The corner of Yukinoshita Haruno's eye twitched, so I can't be the one to deliver this thing!
"Ahem, anyway, would you like to help me deliver it, Ling-san?"
Uchiha Ling did not agree, but did not refuse directly. Shuchi Academy only has a few activities in each semester. First is the sports festival, then the student union election, summer vacation, cultural festival, school trip, and winter vacation.
This means that the Fengxin Festival mentioned by Yukinoshita Haruno will have to wait at least two months, and who can say for sure what will happen two months later?
In the Starry Bar, Xiao Gudu walked over with a guitar in his arms under the incredulous gazes of Ichichi Hongxia, Kita and the others.
"No way! Little Lonely actually attracted more than a dozen audience members? And all the tickets were sold out."
Yamada Ryo nodded, "In this case, we should be close to meeting the target for our first performance, right?"
Kita Ikuyo suddenly came to Hayasaka Ai's side and said, "It's all thanks to Hayasaka-san inviting our friends from Shuchiin. We have sold more than thirty tickets for the first time."
Xiao Gudu looked at the other members of the Bond Band expectantly. The hard work of the four of them over this period of time was finally going to bear fruit!
Hayasaka Ai: "Well... I don't really want to dampen your morale, but you'd better check the weather forecast."
The performance is the day after tomorrow, and it looks like a typhoon is going to land in the Tokyo area soon...which means that there probably won't be many people who will brave the typhoon to come here.
Ijichi Nikka, Kita Ikuyo, and Little Lonely: "Hey!!"
Yamada Ryo: "....Do you want to make a sunny doll?"
Ijichi Hongxia: "It's nothing we can do! I hope the typhoon won't come the day after tomorrow!"
Kato Hui patted Xiao Gudu's shoulder and said, "It's okay. Even if it rains, I will come to watch your performance."
On the other side, the store manager was pouring wine for Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno.
"This is the first time the band has performed and they are facing this kind of situation... I hope they can hold on."
Yukinoshita Haruno sighed, "I understand, I understand. It's like preparing for a performance for a long time, but not many people come to pay attention. If you see the dismal number of people in the audience, you probably won't feel good."
Hiratsuka Shizuka put down her wine glass. "Haven't you sold all the tickets? Even if the audience doesn't come, you've made money. Relax... You won't lose anything."
Ijichi Hoshino rolled his eyes at Hiratsuka Shizuka, "New bands like them don't want money, but popularity and recognition. No matter how well their first performance goes, if they can't even gather a few audiences, they'll inevitably feel disappointed."
Young girls were cheering and encouraging, and adult women were discussing whether the typhoon would bring down the small band. In the corner, the white cat jumped onto Uchiha Ling's shoulder.
Yanyunjiang: "Can you help?"
Uchiha Ling: "You must be kidding. That was a typhoon... Even if I activated the Eternal Mangekyō within two days, I couldn't break up a natural disaster like a typhoon without making any sound."
He didn't want to let the whole world know about him in some way, as that would cause more trouble and would also affect his ability to live the peaceful life he longed for.
Yanyunjiang: "Where's the pupil technique?"
Uchiha Ling sighed. The power to change reality did sound unsolvable, but this reality would consume corresponding eye power depending on the size of the change.
To put it bluntly, even if Uchiha Ling was blinded, he would not be able to wipe out the entire typhoon.
"Just let it be. If there are too many people, I'm sure Little Lonely will be extremely nervous."
...
The day before the performance, Uchiha Ling asked Maki and his sister out and met them in a cafe.
At present, they are just as Uchiha Ling guessed, they are very short of money! After all, they are monsters who have entered the human society. They are all orphans and have nothing except that house.
As for the house, it is said that it was also given to them by the monster senior.
Whether it is Maki Ryuko's expenses at the university, or Maki Senju who is currently studying at Shuchiin.
Although Shuchiin provides a lot of subsidies for students with excellent academic performance, like Shirogane Miyuki, if you can rank in the top three in the grade, you can even get tuition waived.
At the beginning, when Uchiha Ling said he wanted to introduce a job to him, Maki Senju didn't want to come. After all, the other party was a strong human, and they were monsters, so they were on opposite sides of the situation.
But when they heard that it was a cat demon who wanted to open a cafe, the fox siblings immediately became interested.
We monsters are all working at the bottom level, and you, a little cat monster, have opened a shop?! The monster world is so competitive now...
That afternoon, Maki and his sister signed human work contracts with Yanyun-chan. Maki Liuhu was a long-term service staff, while Maki Senju was a part-time worker.
Their mission is simple, that is to take care of cats. That's right! Become a cat herder fox!
After all, Yanyunjiang had no intention of firing the pastry chefs in the kitchen of the cafe, and although this group of ordinary employees knew that they had a new boss, their wages had not dropped anyway... they just had to work normally.
The cafe entered a week-long renovation period, and Yanyunjiang also changed the name of the cafe to Cloud Cat Cafe.
Uchiha Ling stood up and rubbed the cat's head, "Well, since you want to start your own business, I won't help you. If your business fails... you still have to pay back the favorability you loaned me.
Yanyun sauce: "I despise you..."
Chapter 153 Official Performance: Lonely Rock!
On the day of the Bond Band's performance, a typhoon unsurprisingly swept across Tokyo.
In just a few minutes, the naked eye could no longer distinguish the dim sky from the ground. Waterfalls fell from the sky, and rain rivers flowed on the ground. It was a blurry water world.
The best choice in this kind of weather is to stay at home quietly. But unfortunately, some people have to go out today.
Backstage at Fanxing, although the four members of the Bond Band had prepared themselves mentally, they still felt a little lonely when they learned that some of their friends could not come today.
Hayasaka Ai is here, but what Ling Uchiha didn't expect is that everyone from the Classics Club would also show up.
The first to come in were Mr. Hiratsuka, the Yukinoshita sisters and Chitanda Eru. Although Chitanda's family did not allow Eru to go out alone in this weather, Chitanda could come in the Yukinoshita family's car.
Yukinoshita Yukino was a little confused as to why her sister would also come to watch the performance.
As for why she came, it was because she was invited by Hayasaka Ai, and...she heard from Hayasaka that a certain Uchiha had been paying attention to this band.
The last one to arrive was Amakusa Shino, who really walked to the stars holding an umbrella in the wind and rain. Amakusa Shino's explanation was also very simple, since it was a band recommended by the club members, she had to come and listen.
Hayasaka Ai was also a little touched when she saw Amakusa Shino walking in with an umbrella. This second-year senior who was good at making dirty jokes was actually a very gentle person.
Amakusa Shino: "Ah, it's all wet."
Hayasaka Ai stepped forward and took the umbrella, "Are you wet, Minister Amakusa? Let me help you dry it."
Amakusa Shino was a little embarrassed, "It's not so good... After all, there..."
Uchiha Ling walked up and interrupted a certain minister's terrible speech that was about to be made. Although the senior sister was very gentle, her head was full of yellow garbage.
At this point, everyone from the Shuchiin Classical Literature Department except Shirogane Miyuki had arrived, and many of Toyonosaki's friends had also come.
Eriri, Kato Megumi, Natsume holding the cat teacher, and senior student Kasumigaoka Utaha.
Uchiha Ling found a random place to sit down, but suddenly Yukinoshita Haruno came over and said quietly in a familiar manner.
"You are really capable, Ling, do you know all these girls?"
Uchiha Ling: "....One is a club member of Shuchiin, and the other is a club member of Toyonosaki. Is there any problem?"
Hiratsuka Shizuka suddenly sat on the other side. "Your club is really amazing. Do you never join any clubs with boys?"
Uchiha Ling acted innocently and said, "Are you kidding? The Classical Literature Department has Shirogane Miyuki in it, right? And the club over at Toyosaki also has that boy holding a cat over there, right?"
Yukinoshita Haruno glanced at Natsume with a fake smile, "Junior Ling... Shirogane Miyuki from Shuchiin is about to run for the student council president, so he will naturally not be involved in the club's affairs in the future. As for the boy over there, I remember he is Junior Ling's younger brother, right?"
Uchiha Ling didn't want to talk, but Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly showed a look of reassurance. As a fun-loving person, once Haruno becomes interested in someone, she will frantically test the edge.
"Let me help Ling-san!"
As she spoke, Yukinoshita Haruno suddenly stood up and looked at the group of extremely beautiful girls over there.
"Hi, hi, hello, I'm Yukino's sister."
Chitanda Eru and Hayasaka Ai, who had met Haruno before, nodded, while Eriri and Kasumigaoka on the opposite side looked at the female college student curiously.
"You must be the friends that Junior Ling met in Fengzhizaki, but unfortunately Junior Ling will be returning to Shuzhiyuan next week, so...would you like to come and participate in our Shuzhiyuan Fengxin Festival?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at this senior schoolmate who seemed to have a good relationship with Uchiha Ling, and her eyes lit up when she heard the three words "Feng Xinsai".
As a novelist with a wide range of knowledge, she was familiar with the legend of the Shuchiin Fengshin Festival.
Eriri and Kato Megumi, who had no idea, asked questions.
Kato Megumi: "Um.... What is the Hoshin Festival? Another name for the cultural festival?"
Yukinoshita Haruno smiled and then told the legend about the Fengxin Festival.
A man who loved a seriously ill young lady donated his heart as a medicine, and the young lady regained her health.
Because of this fairy-tale love story, the tradition of Bongsim Festival was born in Shuchiin. It is said that as long as you give your partner a heart-shaped gift during the Bongsim Festival, you will gain eternal love.
"Eternal love..."
Even the rational Yukinoshita Yukino has an emotional side in her heart, and all the women present suddenly became curious about Shuchiin's Fengshin Festival.
After all, Yukinoshita, Chitanda and the others had just been promoted to high school, and had never formally participated in activities like the Funeral Festival.
Yukinoshita Haruno: "So, my beautiful junior schoolmates, if a boy gives you a heart-shaped gift, remember to refuse it directly."
"Ah, Ling-san, are you listening? Have you prepared the heart-shaped gift? Who are you going to give it to?!"
Uchiha Ling: "....."
Hayasaka Ai/Kasumigaoka Utaha: So that’s how it is, I must get her!
