Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

[Then the question is, your sister isn't that big either, doesn't that suit your aesthetic taste?]

"Do you understand what a future wife is?"

[Then I think Toyokawa Shoko is actually a potential future wife. Wouldn't you consider it?]

"Think about it for a minute, what can I do to help her now?"

I, Lu, have been walking on thin ice all my life. God knows when I will be able to reach the other side!

"How dare I, a clean-handed man, mislead a beautiful woman? Sometimes it's not a question of whether you want to or not, but a question of whether you can or not. So, Tongzi, you understand what I mean, right? Quickly show me some master-level musical skills. When I become a top star in Tokyo, believe it or not, I won't even let Rinrinko go!"

[It can be seen that you are really hungry, host. ]

"What's wrong? I, the shining and beautiful girl, don't deserve a name, do you? Do you believe that next year, Miss Naritaji will drop her little pearl for you during the live broadcast of the next Chrysanthemum Festival?"

【Host, your composition is really too complicated. 】

"An analyst who wants to be a deserter general isn't a good commander. Complexity isn't the problem; it's not complex enough. As long as I stack enough armor, I can switch sides freely. I can be a Jimei on Weibo, a troll on the Sun Bar, and occasionally even play the role of a rationalist. Isn't that wonderful?"

【It is the modern Internet that has harmed you! 】

"No, it was the modern internet that saved me. Okay, enough nonsense, let's do it."

[Simulation begins. 】

[Number of simulations - 1, the current number of remaining simulations is 0. ]

【Combined with all the previous simulation experiences, you are very well prepared this time.】

[Start over again, stand in front of the mirror, and swear to your handsome self in the mirror, Lu Li, you will definitely win Xiao Xiang! ]

"Why don't you ask me why birds fly?"

You have mastered all the clues to conquer Toyokawa Shoko. You understand that if you want to truly win Toyokawa Shoko's heart, you must solve all the problems she faces.

【Communication, finances, and situation, these are all things you need to consider.】

After some thought, you decide to get money first. While money isn't her primary concern right now, it's clearly what she needs most, so you must approach people with your wealth.

"Making money?"

"No, buddy, are you going to do something dangerous and criminal again?"

"Please, I don't want to step on the sewing machine anymore."

As a master thief, making money is easy for you, but this time you've realized that money gained through unfair means is ill-gotten gains. If you use this money to help Xiangzi, Xiangzi will probably be angry if he finds out.

【You decide to make money through legitimate means! 】

"congratulations!"

You thought about it over and over again, and finally, after thinking about it all night, you came up with a solution.

"what way?!"

Write a novel!

"Ah, this won't work! The online writer is doomed!"

[You remembered that as the thief of Now You See Me, you have incredible experiences that ordinary people have never experienced. As the saying goes, an expert can tell the quality of a work from its first impression. As long as you write realistically, it will definitely be a big hit!]

So you quickly registered an account called "Sugar and Four Spoons" and submitted your first novel, "Reborn as a Thief King in Tokyo," to a light novel website.

“Why four scoops?”

When Lu Li saw the name he chose, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted.

"Oh, I see, because three spoonfuls won't do."

As you'd expected, you became a big hit. Within a month, an editor contacted you, but along with the editor, the Tokyo police also came to visit.

"????"

"I didn't do anything wrong this time, don't mess with me!"

“Brother, your writing is so realistic that we can’t help but wonder if you’ve ever worked in this field. If you don’t mind, come with us!”

[You were taken to the police station, but luckily, you didn't do anything wrong this time, so you were released from the police station quickly.]

[After you were released from the police, the editor immediately signed you. He judged with his professional eyes that you would be a big hit.]

[Just like that, you became a light novel writer. In just six months, your light novels became a huge hit, and you made a fortune!]

With the money, you found Toyokawa Shoko and expressed your desire to support her. You hit it off immediately, and you joined Toyokawa Shoko's band as an investor.

After joining the band, you didn't stop. You realized that being just an investor wasn't enough. To truly understand Toyokawa Shoko's heart and soul, you had to truly integrate into the band. So, you once again found the band's drummer, "Miao Meng."

“I want to learn a musical instrument. Can you teach me?”

"Teacher, do you want to learn a musical instrument? Of course! 】

After hearing your request, Miao Meng, knowing that you are a popular writer, agreed to your request. She is very happy to serve you, but she also made a request. She hopes you can cooperate with her to shoot some videos.

"This is the difference that comes with a change of identity."

[You're not completely clueless about music. You already have a basic understanding of it, and with Miao Meng's help, you quickly picked up the jazz drums.]

After mastering the drums, with Miao Meng as your guide, you gradually learned vocals, bass, and guitar from the other band members.

After mastering these skills, you relied on your extraordinary talent to apply what you learned to other situations, and you learned to play the electronic organ on your own.

[Due to mastering multiple music-related abilities, your instrument proficiency skill has been promoted.]

【Musical Instrument Proficiency (Elementary) has been upgraded to Musical Instrument Proficiency (Intermediate)】

【Instrument Mastery (Intermediate): Through your unremitting efforts, you have finally become a qualified musician. With this skill, you are now qualified to be a member of a regular band.】

"congratulations!"

You have become stronger through your own efforts, and this has earned you a place in the band.

You became the DJ for Ave Mujica.

Volume 1: Chapter 21 Oblivionis, you lied to us

"DJ, doing the same job as Chu Pingfang and MSK next door, that's ok, hip twirling is also a form of performance."

Lu Li could accept the idea of ​​becoming a DJ; Ave Mujica was a powerhouse, after all. He couldn't really fill in any role, and Ave Mujica wasn't short of lead musicians. With two guitars, a keyboardist, a drummer, and a bassist, there really wasn't room for him.

If he has to be forced in, unless he can come up with something new like Butterfly Group's violin, he can only become a DJ.

"Just DJ, it's better than nothing."

Ave Mujica is incredibly strong, and with your goal of becoming a professional band, you're charging headfirst into the professional world.

[At the same time, thanks to your support, Toyokawa Shoko's living conditions have improved, and her previous embarrassing living conditions have not been discovered by other members of the band.]

The mysterious six members, the mysterious masks, the heavy metal elements, and the hint of reverie brought about by the hidden identities make your band particularly attractive.

You guys are performing at various livehouses in Tokyo, and your fans are going crazy for your music.

You are moving forward step by step towards the direction you desire, and it seems that everything is moving in a good direction.

[However, one day, for some unknown reason, the identities of some members of your band were exposed.]

【The identities of the people whose identities were exposed were Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu. 】

If Ye Mu's situation were normal, as she was a second-generation celebrity and had been in a band before, even if her identity was exposed, it wouldn't matter. However, the situation was different for the other member whose identity was exposed.

[Toyokawa Shoko, as her identity was exposed on the internet, curious netizens followed the clues and found some strange news about the changes in the Toyokawa family.]

[As a son-in-law, Toyokawa Shoko's father got involved in gambling and was expelled from the family. His daughter Toyokawa Shoko was also affected by this and expelled from the Toyokawa family.]

"Gambling, gambling on nm?"

"Gamblers don't get lucky!"

After being expelled from the company, Shoko Toyokawa's father completely gave up and became an alcoholic, spending his days either drinking or on the way to drinking. Because of his poor performance, the nearly 100 million yen in debt he owed fell on the shoulders of his daughter, Shoko Toyokawa.

[Once this incident broke out, it immediately caused a huge response, and all kinds of speculation about the Toyokawa family and Toyokawa Shoko were flying around on the Internet.]

Compared to the suspicions of outsiders, the more fatal problem is the problem within the band.

[On the day this incident was exposed, the band's drummer came to Toyokawa Shoko and asked her if it was true.]

"Oblivionis, are all those things circulating on the Internet true?"

In the dim room, Yutenji Wakamugi looked at the blue-haired girl in front of him.

"Yes."

Faced with questioning, Shoko Toyokawa calmly admitted it. Whether the matter was true or not would be known as long as an investigation was conducted. There was no point in lying at this time.

"Hundreds of millions of yen in debt... No wonder you told us that our band had to debut as quickly as possible."

Faces and numbers.

This was the reason given by Shoko Toyokawa when she invited her to join the band.

"Oblivionis, you lied to us."

Yutenji Wakamugi recalled the prospects that Toyokawa Shoko had painted for her when she invited her to join the band. As a member of the Toyokawa clan and the second-generation star Mutsu Wakaba, Toyokawa Shoko must have used promises and tricks to get her into the band. However, she had already been expelled from the Toyokawa clan a long time ago.

"I just concealed my own situation. It can't be considered cheating. Besides, this actually has no impact on our band, right? I did have some changes, but it has nothing to do with you. I won't do anything to harm the band because of this."

Toyokawa Shoko was very calm. She had indeed concealed her situation, but she had not done anything to let the band down. If she had to say, the only person she owed was Lu Li.

"Let's be clear, I don't know if you harmed the band, but you did deceive us."

Yutenji Wakami was a little dissatisfied. Although what Toyokawa Shoko said was right, it was not a reason for her to deceive herself.

"It's not important, is it? Miss Meow Mai, didn't you join the band for a better future? If that's the case, then all you need to do is make the band thrive. Why bother with all this?"

"Tsk..."

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko who was completely calm, Yutenji Wakami felt powerless. How could this person lie to others and act like nothing happened? This condescending tone really made her unhappy...

"Xiangzi, you shouldn't have insisted."

After Yutenji Wakamai left, Lu Li, who was hiding in the corner, walked to Toyokawa Shoko.

"Profess your apology and tell everyone about your difficulties. I think everyone will understand."

Looking at Toyokawa Shoko's calm face, Lu Li sighed. He knew that the girl in front of him was not really as calm as she had just appeared to be. She was just pretending.

However, in response to Lu Li's words, Toyokawa Shoko just shook her head.

"Weakness will not lead to success, Lu Li. When my father and I were kicked out of the Fengchuan family, I killed my weak self. Whether it's deception or exploitation, I must maintain my current appearance... Lu Li, do you mind me like this?"

"Of course not, Xiangzi, no matter what you become, I will support you..."

Although the secret has been exposed, it is indeed as Toyokawa Shoko said. The band has now taken shape. The current Ave Mujica is like a speeding chariot that ties everyone in the band together. No one can leave.

However, some things can't be ignored simply by pretending they don't exist. Unnoticed, the trust built up over time between the Ave Mujica members is beginning to fray with this incident...

Volume 1: Chapter 22: Just for Our Future

The revelation of the members' identities hasn't had much of an impact on the band. Ave Mujica, though shaken, continues to charge forward.

[Performance after performance, shout after shout, this band carries Toyokawa Shoko's dreams and her hope to break free from the past.]

Unfortunately, accidents happen. During a performance, due to a minor mistake by a staff member, a chandelier in the venue unfortunately fell and hit the audience, injuring several people. The performance was forced to be stopped.

[Performance accident, this term is not unfamiliar to any band.]

[Whether it's a long-established band or a newly formed new band, various performance accidents are very likely to occur.]

After the incident, the band members immediately called an ambulance and rushed the injured to the hospital. Fortunately, the incident did not cause any serious consequences, and the three injured people only suffered minor injuries. After an apology and compensation, the three injured fans did not pursue the band's responsibility.

[Originally, the matter should have ended at this point, but unexpectedly, for some unknown reason, this accident was rumored online to be not an accident, but a deliberate act.]

[There are rumors online that this incident was actually a warning from Toyokawa Shoko's father's creditors, warning Toyokawa Shoko to pay back the money quickly.]

From a common sense perspective, this kind of ridiculous rumor can be easily debunked. After all, the creditor's goal is to get their money back, not to deliberately defraud someone. Therefore, it's highly unlikely that the creditor would do such a thing. If anything were to happen to Toyokawa Shoko's band, their debt would be impossible to recover.

【This is just an ordinary accident, there is no hidden secret. 】

However, for those who spread rumors online, the truth is actually unimportant. They just need to spread the rumor. As for the consequences of spreading the rumor, that is not something they need to consider.
