Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

After hearing what you said, Lu Li on the other end of the phone sounded a little disappointed, but he was mostly happy because, in his opinion, you were actually giving him a chance. Since you didn't explicitly reject him, then he had a chance.

"Lu Li, although I don't hate you, I want to tell you that I plan to focus on the band now. Do you understand what I mean?"

【You didn't forget to warn Lu Li.】

"Sister Miao Meng, I understand. I won't harass you."

Lu Li is very sensible. He heard the hidden meaning in your words, so he made a promise to you.

You were very satisfied after hearing Lu Li's assurance. You also knew that Lu Li was not a bad person. He did have the potential to become the Dark Emperor, but that was just potential. Before he truly became the Dark Emperor, he was just an ordinary boy.

[As for a guy like him, you think you can control him with your tea art.]

"Well, that's it. From now on, we'll be members of the same band. Lu Li, let's work hard together!"

"Okay, Sister Miao Meng!"

You hung up the phone. After hanging up the phone with Lu Li, you felt much more relaxed.

"That's good. This way, I should be able to have a good life this time."

[And so, you began a completely different life from your previous one as the drummer of Toyokawa Shoko's band.]

Everyone in Toyokawa Shoko's band is incredibly talented. The lead singer is Hatsuka Mikado, a member of the idol group Sumim. The bassist is a legendary mercenary who has supported dozens of bands. The guitarist is the daughter of the famous comedian Wakaba. This combination is incredibly powerful.

[Faced with such a powerful combination, you just need to mix it up. ]

"Xiangzi, you know, I'm an internet beauty blogger. Even though I've joined a band, I don't really want to close my account. So, can I continue to run my account? And can I use the band's name?"

[Of course, you didn't forget to leave another way for yourself. ]

【"sure."】

[Hearing your words, Toyokawa Shoko nodded. She understood you and agreed with your idea, but she also warned you.]

"But Miss Yutenji, I hope you can focus on the band. My goal is to become a professional band. For a band to be successful, every member must give their all. This also applies to you, Miss Yutenji."

【"I see."】

Listening to Toyokawa Shoko's words, you nodded as if you understood, but you didn't care at all because you knew too well the future trend of this band.

"I understand. Then, Ms. Yutenji, let me begin the training..."

【Because of your appearance, Toyokawa Shoko's band is different from the last time.】

[In the last simulation, because you didn't exist, Lu Li replaced your position as jazz drummer, but this time you joined the band, so Lu Li was placed in a new position, which is DJ.]

[The so-called DJ is a player. There are two types of DJs: DJ set and Live set.]

DJ sets are, in most cases, regular DJ sets. These DJs typically perform at nightclubs, and their job is to string songs together so they flow naturally.

[A live set is similar to a live arrangement. This involves breaking down a song into its parts, perhaps using only one part, and composing the rest live.]

[The DJ's performance in a band is usually a live set, because the DJ is also a musician in the band, and he is responsible for playing many parts during the live performance.]

Unlike many people who think a DJ is just someone who flexes their hips, a JD is actually an important member. Two of the most popular girl bands today have DJs with them during their performances, and their DJs have given these two bands a sparkle that other bands don't have.

[Of course, after all, compared to a jazz drummer, the DJ's importance to the entire band is naturally much lower.]

[After all, a mature band can be without a DJ, but it absolutely cannot be without a drummer.]

[But this doesn't matter to you. Whether you're a drummer or a DJ, you don't really care. Being a band isn't your ultimate goal. Your goal has been clear from the beginning.]

【money.】

"Being an idol is for money, being a drummer is also for money. Apart from money, nothing else matters to you..."

"You have a good idea. If you just hang out with Toyokawa Shoko's band, you'll probably make a lot of money."

【However, you find that things are not as simple as you thought. 】

[“Chuhua, this is the wrong place.”]

[“Mu, here, you need to be faster.”]

"Ms. Yutenji, please stop snapping photos."

Unlike your imagination, where you can just get by by just mixing it up, you discover that Toyokawa Shoko has very high expectations of you. No, not just from you, but from the entire band.

“We are a professional band. Everyone needs to do their best. Do you understand?”

You find Toyokawa Shoko very strict.

Her strictness isn't pure pressure, but a genuine effort to help the band thrive. She doesn't say things for no reason, but she will seriously point out any issues.

Everyone in the band, including you, can accept Toyokawa Shoko's management style. After all, being a professional band is no joke, and being strict isn't a bad thing. Strictness is something that should be pointed out and corrected, and that's perfectly normal.

[While understanding is one thing, Toyokawa Shoko's strictness is indeed a nuisance to you.]

Because, unlike others who can spend a lot of time on the band and practice, you are actually very busy. You have your own blog account, and you have to spend some of your time on it.

[You know, you should actually spend more time on the band, and your personal account should be put on the back burner.]

[However, the band belongs to everyone, and the account is yours. You can never make enough money. You have to make money for the band, but you are reluctant to spend money on your personal account.]

You had already decided from the beginning that you would use the band's traffic to feed your own account, so you chose to spend more time and experience on personal satisfaction. Although you listened to Toyokawa Shoko's warning, you didn't take it too seriously.

You pretend to tell everyone in the band that you're practicing hard, but in reality, you haven't put much thought into it. After all, you're quite talented on the drums, and even if you don't practice much, it's enough to handle the intensity of the band. As for the free time, you continue to invest in your personal account.

【After a while, the band's first performance began.】

"Just as you thought, your skills were more than enough for this performance. Your debut was a resounding success. No one, including Toyokawa Shoko, noticed you were slacking off. Everyone just knew this band was strong and your performance was outstanding."

"Everyone, great job! As long as we keep up this momentum, we'll definitely become the hottest and most famous band in the country!"

At the celebration party, you looked at Toyokawa Shoko's bright smile. You looked at the new followers your account had gained because of this performance, and you smiled too.

[Exactly as you expected, the band and your personal account are both flourishing.]

[Looking at all this, you can't help but think: "This is right. As long as I keep going like this, I will definitely make a lot of money this time..."]

"As Illya, I was summoned by Kotomine Kirei?!"

Volume 4: Chapter : Whoever wants to beat the drum can do so! (K)

(I'm really sorry for the late update. It's mainly because I haven't been feeling well. I suddenly caught a cold today, with a headache and dry heaving. I originally wanted to take a day off, but when I got up in the middle of the night to take medicine, I realized that I had already written the key plot and that some readers might be waiting for an update, so I got up again and wrote. As a result, the update has become 4 o'clock now. I'm really sorry.)

[Just as you expected, the band is doing very well, and your personal account has also gradually experienced a second spring thanks to the band's support.]

[Compared to your previous life as a failed idol, your current life is going quite smoothly. Money, fame, and all these things have come to you over time.]

【However, not everything is smooth sailing. 】

As the band grows, the challenges and stage difficulties it faces become increasingly difficult. These higher demands mean more training time, and it's under these high-pressure conditions that your level gradually widens the gap between you and the other band members.

As one of the band's main instruments, the drums have always been a core part of the music. Unlike Lu Li, who seems to be able to just wiggle his hips a few times on stage, if the performance of a core part like the drums is not up to standard, it will be easily noticed.

[So, after a performance, the band leader Toyokawa Shoko, who noticed that your level was a problem, came to you with a frown on her face.]

"Ms. Yutenji, have you been a little slack lately?"

You certainly haven't slacked off. In fact, you've actually worked harder than the rest of the band.

However, your focus wasn't on the band, but on your personal account. After the band became popular, your fan base skyrocketed, and you increased your livestreaming time and devoted even more effort to managing your personal account. More videos, more interactions, all of which brought you more income, but also significantly squeezed your limited time.

"Ms. Yutenji, I know you've been focusing on your personal Huli.com account, but you should also be aware that this band is no longer the same as it was when we first formed. The challenges we face are much more severe than they were back then. The more famous we become, the harder we have to work. If we don't improve, we might be left behind by other bands. I think you understand this, Ms. Yutenji."

Toyokawa Shoko's tone wasn't harsh. You could tell she wasn't blaming you. She completely understood your actions, but she also needed you to make some compromises. After all, the band needed to continue developing, and a drummer who couldn't fully commit to the band wasn't what the band needed.

"Ms. Yutenji, please think about this carefully."

[After saying this, Toyokawa Shoko left...]

......

"This should be Yutenji Wakami's second to last simulation."

[Yes, after this is over, normally you, the host, will be able to get the final clue belonging to Yutenji Wakamu.]

"Ah, system, you said that I simulated again and again, but the final result of the simulation was never that I could be with the heroine. What's the point of this simulation?"

"What is the purpose of all this wandering?"

[It was to get some chips from the dock.]

"???"

"I'm serious!"

Seriously, we're going to the dock to get more fries.

"Okay, you better start a simulation for me. It's been a few days since the last simulation. I haven't tried this stuff for a few days. I actually miss it a little. Okay, stop talking nonsense and start a simulation. I need to go get some fries."

【go? 】

"go!"

[Simulation begins. 】

[You are back to the beginning of the story again.]

“Meal replacements are good, but they really can’t be eaten as meals.”

You recall your romance with Takamatsu Deng in the last simulation. She was your fan, and she fell in love with you because she admired you. At the time, you were still resentful of Yutenji Wakumai's departure, and because Takamatsu Deng's face resembled Yutenji Wakumai, you ended up with her.

【Later, as you get along with Takamatsu Touma, you gradually discover that Takamatsu Touma and Yutenji Wakami are completely different people.】

Although Gao Songdeng is introverted, she loves you very much. She will cook for you, care about your daily routine, and even put cute penguin band-aids on your palms that are rubbed raw from playing drums for so long.

[Tōrō Takamatsu has proven through her actions that she is different from Wakami Yutenji, and she has also shown through her love that she is not Wakami Yutenji's meal replacement.]

[So, after you figured it out, you immediately confessed to Takamatsu Deng. After you confessed, Takamatsu Deng didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and told you that if you fell in love with her because of Yutenji Wakami, then she would be very happy. As long as you are happy, she can replace that person.]

[Faced with such a gentle and sensible girl like Takamatsu Deng, you certainly know that you can no longer treat her as a meal replacement for Yutenji Wakami. You solemnly apologize to Takamatsu Deng and then completely eliminate Yutenji Wakami from your heart.]

【Later, you married Takamatsu Deng and lived a very happy life.】

[To be honest, you have no dissatisfaction with your past life. Your life was very happy, your wife was lovely, and your later life was also very prosperous. As a life, it can be said to be perfect.]

[But, that was only the last life, and the previous life has ended. Every simulation is brand new, and a new simulation means a brand new life.]

"It is our duty to capture Yutenji Wakamu!"

You secretly swear that this time, you must capture Yutenji Wakamu.

"So, stop swearing. I've tried it so many times, but I've never managed to win the heroine."

"Seriously, can you let me get the female lead for once?"

"Can't I just experience a truly sweet and pure love with the heroine?"

[Just when you were thinking about taking down Yutenji Wakami, your phone rang.]

You picked up the phone and saw that it was Yutenji Wakami calling you, just like last time.

"Are you rejecting me again?"

"No, I get rejected every time I start. How can I win?"

"It's not because I hate you, but I feel like we're not that familiar yet, Lu Li. I've only just joined Xiangzi's band, so I don't really know what kind of person you are. So, how about this? Let's just be friends first, and let time tell what happens next, okay?"

The content of this call is slightly different from the previous simulation. Although Yutenji Wakamugi still rejected your confession, she didn't completely reject you. Moreover, she didn't say she wanted to leave the band this time, so you think you still have a chance.

"oh?!"

"There's still something unexpected happening?!"

"Yes, that's good."

[So, you hid your admiration for Yutenji Wakamaki. You decided to perform well in the band first and then use time to prove your love to Yutenji Wakamaki.]

[Because Yutenji Wakamaki didn't leave this time, your drummer position from your previous life is naturally gone. In this life, Yutenji Wakamaki is the band's drummer, and you have been assigned a completely new position - DJ.]

"Why is there a DJ again? So all I can do is dance and play music, right?"

You have no complaints about this position; instead, you're somewhat happy about it, because being a DJ is a very interesting job. When performing on stage, you can freely adjust the music using the DJ mixer, and this function also allows you to pay more attention to Yutenji Wakamu.

[Yes, take care of Yutenji Wakamugi.]

[As for why you're taking care of Yutenji Wakami, it's because you've discovered a secret that no one else has: Yutenji Wakami's level of progress is very slow.]
