The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

Fortunately, the last two people are more reliable...but only in comparison——

"Um...hello everyone, I'm Yamato Maya (やまとまや) whether you read it forward or backward, and I'm the drummer for Pastel*Palettes. Please be kind to me."

She had short brown hair, light green eyes, and red half-frame glasses. When she spoke, her tone was steady and her posture was upright. She was also trembling slightly due to nervousness. Compared with the previous two, she seemed too plain and even too ordinary. In short, it was—

You are such a normal person. Can you really play with us?

Thinking of this, Higuchi Enka suddenly had an urge to slap Hirayobu. After all, she is not a person who likes to hurt herself. Although this may give the suspected masochist an advantage, it is all the man's fault!

"And finally, it's me... nice to meet you. I'm Pastel*Palettes' keyboardist, Eve Wakamiya. Please be patient with me from now on~"

The only girl in a maid outfit among the group, a part-time worker at Yuze Cafe, a ruthless Bushido repeater—

Eve Wakamiya, come on!

Wow, I didn't expect that the returned children who grew up abroad are the best at speaking honorifics among you except Qiansheng. It's really hard not to worry about Bailu Qiansheng's stomach.

But fortunately, apart from the fact that Hina is too jumpy due to its high level, Sensai should be able to easily control these Pokémon with her taming ability. After all, she is the black-bellied queen who has been a child star since she was young and a little-known oil stick in the entertainment industry.

I originally wanted to say "veteran", but when I thought about it carefully, I realized that he was even younger than me, so I immediately changed my words. I believe Bailu Qiansheng will be very touched when he knows this (laughs)

Then it was the time for the four members of noctchill to take turns greeting each other.

Koito's introversion and cuteness, Hina's extroversion and liveliness, Enka's social mask second only to Chisei, and Asakura Toru, who is very unique from appearance to personality to self-introduction, the four of them left a deep impression on the other side.

"Okay, then next-"

Next?

...Are we finally getting down to business?!

Bai Lu Qiansheng sat even straighter than before, concentrating fully and ready to listen.

"Avengers, assemble!"

"Assemble!"

"Eh...assembly?"

Some people followed suit immediately, like Toru Asakura, Hina Ichikawa, Hina Hikawa, who are more entertaining, and Enka Higuchi, who is better at hiding.

There are also good kids who have a good relationship with him and are more obedient, such as Fukumaru Koito, Wakamiya Eve, Maruyama Aya who he had helped before, and Yamato Maya who he had met several times in the musical instrument store and had a good impression of.

There was still someone who remained silent, but only one person—

...So, stop dwelling on that idiotic Avengers of yours, okay?!

Bai Lu Qiansheng had a smile on her face but was thinking in her heart, maybe she was thinking about "I'll leave tonight", after all, she did think about running away when something happened before.

Although she was moved by Maruyama Aya's words and actions these days and was willing to play around with everyone, work is work. In short -

It’s okay to do the work, but there must be a solid basis for it.

But ordinary mail won’t work because it feels like something will go wrong before the results are out!

"Everyone has shouted slogans, and now we are all one family. Now there is only one outsider here, Miss Qiansheng, guess who it is~?"

Bailu Qiansheng: #!

So angry, but keep smiling...

"Haha, has anyone ever told you, Mr. Hirashin, that you have a great sense of humor?"

"Thank you, I thought so too."

I'm not praising you!!!

"Ahem... So let me briefly explain the purpose of today's meeting. Anyway, I've almost finished planning the new project I'm thinking of, so as the producer of noctchill and the general planner of the program, I wanted to say hello to you guys."

“Eh…ehhhhhhhhh——?”

Bai Lu Qiansheng couldn't help but lean forward on the table.

"Their producer, the mysterious hood producer who indirectly messed up the industry, is you!?"

Chapter 89 So when does this show start?

Bailu Qiansheng, Break! (Break the defense successfully)——

"yeah--!"

Ping Xin high-fived everyone in turn.

Asakura Toru, who has a tacit understanding with everyone, Hina and Hinata, two little cauliflowers from the genius fun group, Wakamiya Eve who has been led astray without realizing it, the good kids group including Fukumaru Koito, Maruyama Aya, Yamato Maya, etc. who don't understand but still high-five according to the atmosphere, and Higuchi Enka, who ignores the high-fives but is obviously secretly happy.

After just two activities, the atmosphere here became much more harmonious, and everyone became a little more familiar with each other. It was probably to the point where they knew who they could talk to.

"This is all thanks to you, Qiansheng."

Ping Xin took the lead in applauding, and in an instant Bailu Qiansheng was surrounded by applause and one "Oumeidiotuo" (congratulations) after another, some sincere, some with laughter, and some confused.

If you don’t know, you might think they’re carrying out some kind of human orange juice project.

The scene was filled with a joyful atmosphere. Even though the project hadn't even started yet, it seemed as if something great had already been accomplished.

But Bai Lu Qiansheng felt no joy in her heart, and even thought they were just noisy...

"Anyway...tell me about your plan, Mr. Hirashin."

Even the child star who had been famous since childhood couldn't hold back his expression. He had only sat down for a few minutes, but he felt more tired than after a whole day of acting as a child.

And it's 99% pure mental fatigue.

"Now let me explain why it's called the Avengers~"

Did it actually start from there?!

No, never mind, whatever you want...

I don’t know if it was Ping Xin’s plan, but from that moment on he gained the actual leadership of all the staff.

"Hehe, it's actually very simple... Noctchill just saw the famous C-word on his first day on TV, and he was persecuted by the unscrupulous program director who only cared about ratings and topics. He was almost banned~"

I believe you!

If I hadn't known what happened to that former program director, I might have really believed you, the man who added drama!

"And so you all... became Unit-01 of the company's "Idol x Band" series, or what you might call a test product. The goal was probably to be a bit different and capitalize on the popularity of girl bands in recent years, but in the end, you didn't get any popularity and nearly got yourself killed—"

Even though he's dead...

During the most difficult period, the company was acquired and its resources were taken over. Failed products like Pastel*Palettes, which were almost swept into the garbage dump, were sold for as much money as possible. Pingxin could only accept useful talents and various resources with tears.

Oh, I have to work overtime again. It’s so tiring~

Sitting in her office chair, Tiaoyue Linyin sneezed, sniffed, and continued to process endless documents. I would like to call this the endless May—

Although it's almost June~

"You are being persecuted, criticized, and attacked online. Even if you are cleared of all charges, your death sentence will only be reduced to a suspended death sentence. Essentially, your existence is still not recognized."

The atmosphere suddenly became much more depressing, but it only changed from the inexplicable excitement just now to calm thinking.

So say it with me—

Thank you, Qiansheng!

“But we didn’t stop. Even if we were scarred, even if we weren’t understood, even if the road ahead was like a long night with no light, we would still move forward, and embark on the path of becoming an idol without hesitation—”

Ichikawa Hina raised her hand and asked a question: "Hi~ Question~!"

She was really a little too well-behaved today. Was it because there were strangers around?

"Hina-san, please speak."

"Then why are we called the Avengers? Idols usually have cuter names, right?"

Maruyama Aya nodded first. If you were to ask who among them was the most persistent in becoming an idol, it would definitely be her.

“Ah, this is easy…”

Ping Xin took out his phone and showed a message board in his hand.

"Anyone who treats them badly will suffer the consequences. Is this due to some vengeful spirit?"

"A ghost called 'idol' is haunting Tokyo..."

"I'll kill anyone who stabs me. Are idols some kind of yakuza group?"

"Rather than being a yokaido, it's more like the effect of a monster sending a grave."

"There's a card player here too, damn."

"Are idol geeks and card gamers the same group? Shit."

"The effect of sending graves is too great, and the grassland is inevitable."

"Pile four cards into the graveyard, noctchill idol, activate its effect to send the opponent's director to the graveyard."

"Grass"

"Grass"

"Grass"

"Grass"

"Grass"

* Grass has evolved into a funny meaning in Dongguo language after the Internet culture. Funny is "raw grass", and very funny is "prairie".

"Oh, don't look, there's only grass underneath."

???

Even Maruyama Aya, who usually loves to search for information about herself on the Internet, didn't know what they were talking about. In short, it felt quite outrageous.

"No, so Mr. Hirashin, what does this have to do with the Avengers?"

"Well, it doesn't matter."

Bailu Qiansheng:?

The fist is hard!

Today I will show you what a strong woman is... Never mind, I can’t beat her.

“But it’s still somewhat related.”

Hey, you kid...

"But it doesn't really matter. I'm showing it to you mainly for fun."

Is there anyone else having fun here besides you?!

"Ah, Pingxin, do you play cards sometimes? We can have a Duel next time! It's going to be a really good duel!"

After Hikawa Hina spoke, Bailu Qiansheng silently put down his sleeves that were rolled up under the table and said, "Don't hit me."

"It's actually not hard to understand... The director who wanted to ban you is now hiding under some bridge. He also wanted to disband your frozen company. He went back to Gao Laozhuang, and she fled to Liusha River.

Everyone who offended you has disappeared, and now even the media, which is usually the most vocal, dares not speak out. Isn't this the perfect revenge? It's enough for a TV series to be filmed for at least 24 episodes."

But that's an inspirational drama, what is yours, a domineering CEO?

"Moreover... I know it's impossible, but I still do it, doing things that ordinary people can't do. Even if the world opposes, slanders, and tries to stop me, I will still go forward with joy—"

To put it simply, no one wants to see you become famous, because there were many people who took advantage of the situation, kicked you when you were down, and added fuel to the fire.

It would be fine if you were completely dead and couldn't make any sound, but as long as you existed, they would be on pins and needles, fearing that they would be liquidated one day.

Even the good-natured netizens were often slapped in the face, and it can be said that they have enemies all over the world——

Such a wonderful beginning, contrary to everyone's hopes, how can this not be called a gorgeous and domineering revenge?"

"..."

Bai Lu Qian Sheng: Although I know he is probably talking nonsense again, I feel a little moved and excited now. What should I do?

"call--"

Qiansheng let out a breath silently, and after calming down, he asked:

"...Anyway, let's put these irrelevant issues aside for now. So, Mr. Hirashin, when will filming of our revenge drama begin?"

"Oh, tomorrow."
