The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

"Oh—reversal."

"Hmm, hmm...! Just like the reflection of Fuji."

My first reaction was to think of a horror movie, and I reflected on it a little, and planned to send this idea out later.

“…! That’s right~”

"Scare...Hina, Hina...!"

It seemed that Idea King Hina had some new ideas, but her sudden lying back still scared Fukumaru Koito, after all, this was a live broadcast.

“Ahaha~ I fell down~~!”

Ping Xin understood immediately and turned the camera upside down. The four people who were originally sitting on the waterproof film now appeared in the sky, and the trees that were originally above were moved to the bottom because of the reflection on the water surface.

This is really a reversal...

Haha, it’s really fun to be with them~

"Adopt... this is the new composition!"

Someone in a good outfit in the distance shouted at us twice before running back. It's so tiring to have another meeting right after the one I just finished.

"Anyway, the next show will be off the air... Let's meet somewhere else~"

Idol Road, next issue will be on hiatus!

Chapter 42: Ancestor!

Ignoring the storm of question marks he had caused, Ping Xin continued to move the show forward while retaining the greatest suspense.

Fortunately, summer vacation had already started a few days ago, so everyone had more time to train. Otherwise, he wouldn't even want to take this job. After all, this kind of work is really "inefficient" nowadays.

"So, let me give you a little hint at the end... When you think of Tokyo, summer, and music, what's the first thing that comes to mind?"

"Guess a riddle like this?"

"Guess the riddle...it's so real"

"The big one is coming?"

"Oh, and one more thing—this time we'll be using the latest AI technology to protect the artists. Anyone who's exposed during the live broadcast will receive a certain Kami's blessing... Specifically, this is it!"

The scene suddenly changed, and I didn't know when Ping Xin was wearing a cute short skirt over his suit...

After all, you can't lift up your idol's skirt on live broadcast, right?

Imitating Miss Monroe's classic pose... Of course, nothing is protected, and Ping Xin's skirt scenery is displayed in front of the camera——

There's nothing to show, it's all about the scenery under the skirt ahh ...

Stop, zoom in, zoom in again, you can’t see a single hair, it’s all filled with holy light... right?

wrong!

"Actually, there are a lot of little surprises here to prevent future cracking... like this."

I randomly took a screenshot from the previous scene and enlarged the photo using my tablet live broadcast. The result was—

"All are the Lord's holy paintings, over the grass"

True Holy Light

"You holy lights, I... I'll scatter you!"

"May God bless you, Amen"

"Ancestor! Why do you force me to destroy you?"

"Anyway, I'm really done this time. See you on a bigger stage later... Ciao~"

After a flash of light, the screen went black and the broadcast ended as soon as it was announced.

He came in a dashing manner and left with momentum. At this moment, Ping Xin is the real winner.

"Alright, let's get back to work. Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Pingxin quietly put away her skirt and pretended nothing had happened.

"...Wait, I haven't heard of that."

"Hey, but if everyone else is going, you'll definitely go too, right? And this is work, right? And you didn't even ask them after training with them for so long?"

Although Higuchi Enka didn't want to admit it, he did have a point...

What a ghost!

Look at the elbow!!!

......

...

..

*The timeline is roughly between chapters 36 and 37, a few days after the exams at the end of July and about two weeks before the music festival. It is inserted here for the sake of plot continuity.

"Please, please take us in—!"

"Wait!...Kasumi, that's too weird!"

Hirayuko nodded in agreement with Ichikawa Arisaki's complaint. They had indeed arrived unexpectedly today and he had no idea about it. Could it be that girls in a band who are guitarists and lead singers have a tradition of running away from home?

"Sorry, Brother Pingxin, we came a little suddenly. Are all the sisters-in-law home?"

"Some are here, some aren't. Some are never here, some are always here... Besides, Tae-chan is here too, and this one is, unsurprisingly, Ushigome Satomi, who I hadn't greeted before—"

There are quite a lot of people gathered here. Are they going to have a team fight?

"Good morning, Mr. Hirashin... Have you ever considered getting some rabbits in your garden?"

Duohui, whose surname is Huayuan and whose full name is Huayuan Duohui, perhaps this is the reason why she took a peek at other people's gardens before entering the gate.

Because Ping Xin had seen her on a roadshow and often went to the livehouseSPACE where she worked, the two of them were familiar with each other.

In short, she is an electric wave type, a natural girl who does her own thing, which can be seen from her current words and deeds.

As for why it's a rabbit...she once said that her family consists of her father, mother and 20 rabbits, and Arisaki, as a tsundere character, once complained to her about this. It seems that common sense people really have a hard time here.

"Um, um...please give me some advice!"

Compared to Hanazono Tae, Ushigome Satomi, the introverted girl, is much more normal, and her plain black hair and brown eyes also bring a little comfort to Hirashin.

Not everyone can look as distinctive as some people!

"Kansai dialect..."

Could it be possible that I would be disliked? Rimi felt a little uneasy.

"Actually, I've always thought speaking with a Kansai accent or a Kyoto accent is a cute touch...it would be so boring if everyone spoke the same way—"

After quietly observing the reactions of several people, Ping Xin had a rough idea in his mind. After confirming that he would not become a negotiation expert (in reverse), Ping Xin asked again:

"So why are five of you suddenly here? And they're all carrying musical instruments..."

By the way, Arisaki, don't you get tired of holding the keyboard synthesizer all the time?

This thing weighs several kilograms, but I don't feel tired or out of breath at all, just like the Kotobuki-senpai next door...

It turns out that girls in bands are all monsters!

"I heard it from Yuki-senpai and the others - it is said that a mysterious spirit lives here, and he will help the girls in the band who need special training to conduct special training together!" Kasumi replied.

...Ako Udagawa!

This kind of middle school way of speaking, no matter how you think about it, it must be her!!!

*Note: Actually, it was just Sister Lisa coaxing the child.

"I see. I think I understand—"

In short, Ping Xin first invited the five people in and arranged them to sit on the sofa. Then the shadow ladies who came out from various places brought snacks, fruits and various drinks.

"Although there aren't any goblins here...but if I just want to borrow a place and a teacher, it can still be helpful."

What a suspicious pause, the five people thought.

By the way, getting into the Tokyo Summer Music Festival isn't as difficult as you might think. The fame, quality, and potential are all there...

As long as you have two of the three, you can basically participate in performances at peripheral venues.

If you want to get into the real top level, attending the performances at the main venue is also a good start from the outside.

And now there is no shortage of Mane in Pingxin, so there is no need to make profit the first criterion——

It would be better to say that from the perspective of playing the long game and catching the big fish, this mechanism for discovering and training new people is better than any previous model.

"But before that, I have to congratulate you on your ability to get the opportunity to perform at the Tokyo Summer Music Festival... Cheers!"

"Cheers——!" x5

However, getting shortlisted is still a difficult task. After all, increasing the number of places doesn't necessarily mean it's easier to qualify, so it's really amazing...

"Come to think of it, you guys didn't seem to bring any change of clothes. Is that okay?"

Ichigaya Arisaki and Yamabuki Saya both lived in the shopping district, so it was natural for them to be acquainted with each other and close to their homes. But what about the other three people?

"My home is not far from here!"

Kasumi raised her hand and answered loudly, what a lovable child.

"My house is nearby too."

Rimi-san, that's a standard answer, but it's great that you can say it well.

"Eh... No, it's Mr. Fairy?"

Hanazono Taehui, in short, is a child whose thinking circuits are different from those of ordinary people——

"I only have extra pajamas at home, and as for underwear... I'm afraid they won't match your size. How about I give you some money and we go to the store in front of the station and buy some other things while we're there?"

"I want the rabbit one!"

You are such a stubborn kid...

Chapter 43 Human prosperity comes from competition

"Both parties have arrived for this summer's intensive training camp. The band and Poppin'Party are over. I hope both sides can get along well during this time—"

"Hey, where do you guys who have left the band usually hang out? And how did you meet Mr. Hiroshin? You all seem so fun and cute!"

"Wait, Kasumi, that's so rude!"

It is well known that Kasumi Toyama will have sex when she sees a cute girl, and at this time, Arisaki Ichigaya will rush out and use her aura, whether as a common person or as the legal wife, to suppress her.

"Haha, you're such an energetic kid. Please take care of me~"

"We are here, please take care of us!"

Ijichi Nikka and Yamabuki Saya, the drummer and the team's mother, are evenly matched opponents...

Maybe my body shape is not that balanced.

"Isn't this Miss Duohui? Long time no see!"

"As well, Kita-chan. I didn't expect to see you here."

The acquaintance of Hanazono Tae and Kita Ikuyo dates back a long time... or perhaps not that long ago——

Ping Xin took her to various places to visit and learn. Her acquaintance, Yuan Yuan Duohui, who worked at SPACE, was a highly skilled guitarist with rich experience in street performances, so the two sides became familiar with each other at that time.

On one side is a super yangjiao who likes to make friends, and on the other side is a radio girl with unusual thinking. Surprisingly, they quickly established a good relationship without his intervention.

"Um, well, please advise me..."

"Ah, that... is..."

Ushigome Satomi is just a little introverted.

Goto Ichiri, social anxiety is still a serious problem.

Because Yamada Ryo (on the surface) has a cool personality, although Kasumi Toyama is curious about her, she was held back by Arisaki and was unable to come over to talk to her. DD failed miserably.

Otherwise, if these two inherently interesting people get together, maybe some good chemical reaction will occur, and then there might be something fun to watch -
