Become the attraction package for the girls in the band

Following Liu Hao's instructions, Ruo Yemu operated step by step. Only when it came to the final payment did the girl stop. She turned her face to the side, her long and thick eyelashes fluttering: "Let's press it together."

"it is good."

Liu Hao stretched out his hand, placed it on Ruoye Mu's thumb, and pressed the confirmation button on the phone together.

The girl lowered her head and looked at the payment success notification on her phone. Her thin pink lips curled up. She felt so happy to make decisions together with reliable people and to be respected.

(ps: I watched Ave Mujica's pilot PV today, and it felt like Daxiang was being controlled by a hypnosis app, and was about to turn into a magical girl OvO)

Volume 90: Chapter Chapter The Easy-to-Calm Wakaba Mu

"I made an appointment with Xiangzi last night. She didn't have time in the afternoon, so we'll have dinner with her after the show. Maybe we can catch the evening show." Liu Hao asked Ruoye Mu, "Are you free tonight?"

"free."

"Don't force it."

Ruoye Mu shook her head, indicating that she was not forcing herself. She used to go out alone to watch live performances on weekends. Although she was always asked to learn piano and other things, the girl also liked music in her heart, especially in a lively and crowded concert. Everyone's cheers covered up the girl's silence. She would feel more lonely that way, but she could feel the happiness of others.

But today is different, well, different.

Ruoye Mu stood obediently in a corner of the hall with two drinks given as a gift with the ticket, looking at Liu Hao who was chatting with a working girl not far away. There was no expression on her cute face, but her drooping eyelids made the girl look a little aggrieved, because the two of them had been chatting and laughing there for almost half an hour.

Instead of going to RiNG, the two came to a LiveHouse called CiRCLE, which is the recording studio and residency location of a high school professional band called Roselia.

Liu Hao also learned about this from chatting with Xiangzi these days. This popular band, known for its gothic and gorgeous stage style, is the predecessor that Xiangzi Toyokawa wants to learn from and surpass, and is also her competitor when she plans to form a band in the future. So she came here to do some "enemy reconnaissance".

As for the long chat with Ms. Yukinoshita Yukizumi who worked part-time at this LiveHouse, it was because Liu Hao pretended to be a fan of Roselia and chatted with her, and learned a lot of information he wanted to know.

"I understand. Thank you, Ms. Yukinoshita. I'm going to watch the show first. Bye."

"Well, goodbye. Please support Yukina-chan for the rest of your life!"

Liu Hao waved goodbye to the girl he had just met, and returned to Ruoye Mu excitedly, saying, "I learned a lot. I learned a lot about professional bands."

LiveHouse is not just for unknown or amateur bands to perform. In fact, unless they are really famous, professional bands also have to rely on LiveHouse to carry out their activities.

However, LiveHouse provides free training venues for professional bands, and does not charge registration fees like other bands. It even provides appearance fees. After all, a popular band is a guarantee of ticket revenue, and many fans usually come with the idea of ​​meeting their idols, allowing LiveHose to earn venue fees and drink fees.

It's a win-win situation.

Of course, professional bands are more than that. Depending on their business activities, they also need to support other LiveHouses or participate in performances at large music festivals, and carry out various commercial endorsements and TV variety shows. These are areas with high barriers and require industry insiders with connections to coordinate.

In Japan, the discrimination and barriers within the industry against people outside the industry are even more severe than those in the United States. Therefore, if a band wants to become a professional, it must sign with an agency. Otherwise, it is almost impossible to gain a foothold in the industry and obtain commercial performance resources.

Of course, the competition among the major agencies is also very fierce, so the agencies have scouts hanging around in major LiveHouses, looking for potential newcomers. Amateur bands who pay registration fees to participate in live performances also hope to be discovered by scouts and become famous, but they are relatively few in number.

"As expected, this kind of information can only be obtained by asking insiders. I'm so lucky to have met friendly people right after arriving."

When Ruoye Mu saw Liu Hao's excited expression, she felt a strange surge of aggrieved emotion in her heart. She handed the drink to Liu Hao and whispered, "I know all this too."

"Ah?" Liu Hao asked after a moment's hesitation, "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask me either."

"..."

Liu Hao blinked and looked at Ruo Yemu's cheek. She still had no expression on her face. After being stared at by Liu Hao, she lowered her head slightly, letting the shadow of her bangs cover part of her thin eyebrows.

Although the girl rarely reveals her feelings, Liu Hao can guess some of her thoughts from her micro-expressions and movements. Ruo Ye Mu now seems to be a little angry and aggrieved. It seems a bit too much to leave the girl alone for such a long time.

"It's okay. If I had known in advance, I wouldn't have chatted with Miss Yukinoshita. We had a very pleasant chat."

"..."

Ruo Yemu turned his head away, remained silent, and didn't look at the smile on Liu Hao's face. The more he looked, the more unhappy he became.

"I was thinking of exchanging contact information with her. Maybe we could chat more in the future. If I ever come here again, I can ask her to introduce me to someone."

"..."

Ruoye Mu pursed his lips, pressed his fingers slightly into the depression of the drink's plastic, and silently said "idiot" in his heart.

"But I didn't ask for her contact information in the end. After all, she's a stranger, and it wouldn't be nice to bother her." Liu Hao turned his head and said to the girl with a smile, "But Xiao Mu, you're different. We're friends, so it doesn't matter how much I bother you. Next time, just bring me along."

"……Um."

Ruoye Mu and Liu Hao looked at each other, then quickly turned away and lowered their heads slightly. But this time they were not feeling aggrieved or unhappy, but rather shy.

Liu Hao smiled. The girl was so cute, well-behaved and easy to coax.

What a sin it is to neglect her parents!

【found it! 】

While Liu Hao and Ruoye Mu were talking, a blonde woman wearing a brimmed hat and sunglasses appeared behind the railing on the second floor, her eyes fixed on the two of them.

[Liu Hao, you're here after all... Who's that person next to you? Looks like the guitarist from Xiaoxiang's previous band?]

【Are you guys so close? 】

"Then let me torture you. Do you really understand Xiaoxiang's difficulties when you say that? Have you ever been sorry for Xiaoxiang?"

Liu Hao and Wakaba Mu were preparing to check their tickets and enter the venue.

Suddenly Liu Hao stopped and looked around subconsciously. There were crowds of people everywhere and there was nothing unusual.

Ruoye Mu raised his face and looked at Liu Hao, as if asking him what was wrong.

Liu Hao just frowned slightly and continued to look around. He felt a little nervous just now, as if someone was staring at him. Was it an illusion?

Volume 91: Chapter Chapter Goodbye Triangle Chuhua

In fact, apart from the person behind him who showed an impatient expression because of Liu Hao's pause, Liu Hao did not notice that anyone was staring at him.

It would be more accurate to say that a slim woman with purple hair and pink eyes standing next to the ticket gate attracted more attention. The girl who was holding a selfie stick to record a video seemed to be a well-known internet celebrity. She was deliberately making cute noises in front of the camera. She was cute and very deliberate, but it seemed that her fans really liked her style and some onlookers exclaimed.

Liu Hao noticed this woman mainly because she looked a bit like Gao Songdeng, but that was just the appearance. If Deng had her cheerfulness, there would be no "Spring Shadow" but "Qi De Long Dong Qiang".

So Liu Hao felt that he was probably too self-conscious. After all, unless he was blind, he should have focused his attention on Ruoye Mu, who was as cute and obedient as a princess beside him. He was not a gay, so he looked at what he was doing.

"It's okay, I must have seen it wrong."

Liu Hao shook his head, checked his tickets and walked into the studio with the girl.

In fact, someone did notice Wakaba Mutsu.

The internet celebrity with purple hair and pink eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of Ruoye Mu's face. At the time, she just felt that he looked familiar. It was not until the two of them walked in that she suddenly realized——

[Isn't that the daughter of the famous actress Mori Minami? She actually brought a boy to the live show. A butler or bodyguard? He's so young, he doesn't look like one... Could he be her boyfriend?]

[Lucky! I was hoping to try my luck interviewing a member of Roselia, but I stumbled upon even bigger news. If I put this in a video, maybe it'll get over a million views this time, right?]

"Let me think about what to do. There are too many people here, so it's inconvenient... Should I try to wait and see? 】

-------------------------------------

It was Liu Hao's first time to attend an indoor performance with this kind of atmosphere. Although the lighting in the room was dim and there were no seats, the atmosphere was really great as people gathered in groups of three or four, discussing the next band that would perform.

"Hold the corner of my clothes." Liu Hao bent down and said to Ruoye Mu, "There are so many people here. It will be troublesome if we are dispersed."

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu obediently grasped the corner of Liu Hao's clothes. The two did not go to the front, but stayed in a corner of the studio. It was a little far from the stage, and they could barely see the performers on the stage. So there were not so many people, which made it convenient for Liu Hao to lower his head and whisper with Ruoye Mu.

“This band feels very amateurish.”

"Ah."

There is a big difference in height between the two, but if Ye Mu stands on tiptoe, Liu Hao will naturally lower his head and put his ear close to the girl's lips. When the music starts, only when their ears are almost close together can they hear each other's voices.

"The afternoon isn't prime time, the bands in the evening are a bit better."

The previous few bands played relatively simple pop-style sweet songs. This type of song does not require high performance level or singing skills of the lead singer, and is very suitable for livening up the atmosphere.

In fact, this is a very reasonable choice when the band's level is not high.

Then came a counter-example. A band challenged themselves to sing a cover song with a brisk rhythm and high difficulty. Perhaps due to insufficient rehearsal or some other reason, the guitarist got the tune wrong several times at the beginning, and the lead singer was so nervous that he forgot the lyrics. Fortunately, the bassist came to the rescue and started to dance street dance on the spot to liven up the atmosphere, so it didn't seem too awkward.

This made Liu Haoqing think divergently. What would the scene be like if Su Shi danced street dance?

"Xiao Mu, you like metal, right?"

"Ah."

"So what does this kind of song sound like?"

"Of course." Ruoye Mu said, "It's great that they can play it."

"Xiao Mu is so gentle."

Liu Hao sighed sincerely. If it weren't for the good deal he had just gotten from reselling tickets today, and the only songs he'd hear when buying tickets were songs like this, he might have joined the others in making a scene.

Ri your mother, give us back our money. The bassist is not playing the bass but is dancing hip-hop here. Is that unfair to us?

Wait, this bassist's hip-hop dance is pretty good, doesn't he dance on stage often?

The bassist on the stage, wearing a leather jacket and shorts, looked very mature and handsome at first glance. He had a cool expression on his face, and his black hair drew beautiful arcs as his body rotated. The lining of his bright red inner garment was very low-cut, and his cleavage was faintly visible under the metal necklace. His raised breasts trembled, looking quite elastic.

"Liu Hao."

"Well, what happened?"

"Do you prefer that?"

"what?"

Liu Hao looked in the direction of Ruoye Mu's finger, and the girl was pointing at the soft and plump flesh on the bassist's chest.

"I noticed you were staring at her."

"..." Liu Hao said seriously, "This is the first time I've seen someone doing street dance so closely. I think it's really cool."

Yes, I was just enjoying street dance, that’s for sure.

Ruoye Mu blinked his eyes. The girl didn't know whether he believed it or not, but she didn't ask any further questions.

Liu Hao touched his nose awkwardly, thinking that he had encouraged Ruo Yemu to speak his mind bravely before, but he didn't expect that he would be the one being dishonest now. It was really retribution.

But later Liu Hao discovered that the bassist was not only good at street dancing, but also seemed to have a very high level of bass playing. What was even more surprising was that when the band's time was over, the bassist did not leave the stage, but continued to play the bass in an orderly manner in the next performing band. She was even the bassist of four bands in a row.

"That bassist seems pretty good. Xiao Mu, give us your opinion."

"Yeah." Ruoye Mu nodded and said, "Very impressive."

"These four bands are almost four different styles. If I heard correctly, she didn't make any mistakes at all. She seems to be even better than Su Shi."

"Well, she's much better than Su Shi."

Wakaba Mu never lies. If he's good, he's good. Su Shi's bass playing is actually pretty good, but the bassist on the stage is almost at a professional level.

"Of course she is. She is a well-known Bess mercenary and is definitely a professional."

The voice of a third party sounded behind the two of them. Even though the voice was mixed in with the music, Liu Hao felt inexplicably familiar. He turned around and saw a familiar figure wearing sunglasses and a brimmed hat.

"It's you! What a coincidence?"

"Yeah, Tokyo is really small. I didn't expect to run into you here again. Maybe this is fate."

The person who came smiled slightly. It was the blonde lady who had discussed sumimi with Liu Hao before. She was also Toyokawa Shoko's childhood friend and the guitarist, lyricist and composer of sumimi - Sanjiao Hatsuka.

Volume 92: Chapter Chapter Intrigue

"Do you know the bass player?"

"I know her. She's the bass mercenary Yawata Kailing. She's quite famous in the circle and has professional bass skills. However, she doesn't have a fixed band. Instead, she plays in over 30 different bands. As you can see, she's always playing on stage. Her level is very high."

Sanjiao Chuhua stood next to Liu Hao and Ruoye Mu very naturally. She looked up at her classmate Pan Hailing on the stage. Although the two did not communicate much, they had a good relationship because of their love and talent for music.

He doesn't have a fixed band, but his level is professional, and he is very good in both appearance and business ability. He is also a bassist who is quite hard to find. He perfectly meets the requirements of the imagined Galaxy Battleship.

Liu Hao thought so, but his attention was more on Sanjiao Chuhua beside him. His intuition told him that something seemed wrong.

"So you're from the band scene."

"Well, it is."

“No wonder you’re so insightful about music.”

"Not really. You can explain the tricks, which is much better than me."

"You are being modest. I am just a layman."

"For a layman to have such musical sense shows that you have great potential. It would be a shame if you don't develop your musical career."

The two of them listened to the live performance while chatting with each other.
