What?! My anime figures have all come true!

In a world where there are no big girl bands and not even many proper idol anime, what do people think of when they think of singers?

A cheap T-shirt, ripped jeans, and a vest made of the same fabric as the jeans.

Oh, I might have to grow my hair long again.

Similar to the show "I'm Crazy for Singing" that Chen Xiao watched in his previous life.

It's fair to say that, apart from the very top-tier singers, most of the singers in this world look like a heavily filtered version of "Brother Sharp" (a popular internet celebrity known for his styling and outrageous appearance).

Girl band?

In the whole team, maybe the one with long hair is the one who looks more like a woman?

Of course, it's not to say there aren't any female singers.

Compared to the vast number of male singers, female singers are truly a rare breed.

Moreover, those who are destined for fame have already become incredibly popular, while those who are not famous will give up after a short time because they can't see a future in it.

Therefore, most people can only find male singers.

That's what Ding Jiafang thought.

In his view, no matter how extensive Chen Xiao's connections are, the singers he finds will either be a master of "roasted gluten" or a friend with some singing experience.

But he could accept either one, after all, there are people who have performed poorly on stage.

And then this guy...

This guy brought four incredibly beautiful girls!

Could one of them be his girlfriend?

A beautiful girlfriend with three beautiful girlfriends?

...Then I really have to duel you, really!

"Ah Xiao, who are these people...?"

Suppressing her jealousy, Ding Jiafang asked.

"They are..."

Chen Xiao was speechless for a moment.

He really wanted to say that they were all his wings (girlfriends), but if he said that, his "circle of friends" would explode. Before he was able to fly to Mars and become an astronaut, he couldn't say it openly.

But he was also afraid of hurting Hongxia and the others.

After all, whether it's anime or a novel, many conflicts between the male and female protagonists are caused by such ridiculous misunderstandings.

"Hello, we are Xiao's friends."

Nijika Ichichi stepped forward with a smile to greet her, behaving very politely.

"Oh! Hello everyone."

The effect is outstanding!

Ding Jiafang, who has never been in a relationship, was completely overwhelmed, and the jealousy in her heart could not be ignited for a while.

"Thank you! Archangel of Shimokitazawa!"

Chen Xiao secretly gave Ichiji Nijika a thumbs up.

Ijichi Nijika: Hehe~

If this were one of those Azur Lane ship girls whose minds are only on their commander (Chen Xiao), they would probably be showing off their rings right now, instead of being as reserved as they are.

Azur Lane: Don't generalize!

Among them, perhaps... maybe... probably... only a portion of the ship girls would do this!

"Xiao, I didn't know you knew so many beautiful girls. Seriously, bro, I'm so jealous."

Once she had recovered a little, Ding Jiafang pulled Chen Xiao aside, lightly punched him in the chest, and said through gritted teeth.

"A lot? A lot?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiao thought about the display case full of female figurines at home and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hey, where's your friend who can sing? Since the other person skipped it, I really have to drag you up with me and embarrass myself!"

Ding Jiafang looked left and right, but couldn't find anyone else besides Ijichi Nijika and the others.

Clearly, he never imagined that the beautiful girls around Chen Xiao were in a band.

"Ahem! Jiafang, let me introduce you... This is the guest singer I invited for you."

Chen Xiao brought Kita Yu over on his behalf.

"Hello~! My name is Kita Ikuyo!"

Because there is no homophonic pun in the Chinese language like "come and go," Kita Ikuyo generously introduced herself to Ding Jiafang.

That smile was so bright, so intense, like direct sunlight, that it almost made Ding Jiafang feel ashamed, just like Boqi Jiang.

Do such perfect young girls really exist in the world?

But what I want is a singer!

"Dude, you can't just fool me like that, can you?"

Ding Jiafang pulled Chen Xiao aside again.

Although Kita Ikuyo's horn-shaped power left him speechless, he couldn't just go on stage and act cute all the time, could he?

"Don't worry, Kita is the lead singer in the group!"

Chen Xiao answered with great pride.

"The band? The lead singer?"

Ding Jiafang was stunned at first, then realized what was happening and pointed at Ichiji Nijika and the others.

"Playing in a band?"

Chen Xiao didn't answer, but just nodded silently.

"This is the first time I've ever seen a girl play music... Is this even possible?"

Ding Jiafang scratched his head.

Wait a minute! What did Chen Xiao call Kita Ikuyo just now?

Kita?

Such an affectionate way of addressing someone.

Could this be his girlfriend?

It's so small, isn't it a bit illegal?

However, before Ding Jiafang could ask any more questions, the phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated.

I picked up my phone and took a look.

It turned out to be a message sent by the back-end staff.

[Teacher Catgrass, where are you now? It's almost your turn on the show!]

"Oh no! It's my turn!"

Ding Jiafang was startled by what she saw and quickly led Chen Xiao and Ichiji Nijika into the backstage area of ​​the comic convention.

"Teacher Catgrass, who are these people...?"

The staff member backstage was completely bewildered when she saw Ding Jiafang leading a group of people in.

"Oh... these are the performers I invited! Yes, yes! This is the singer I invited! The others are her friends."

Ding Jiafang quickly explained.

This little girl?

When the staff member saw Kita Ikuyo, she was first amazed, then suspicious.

"Mr. Catgrass... are you sure you want to let this young lady go on stage?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Jiafang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Chen Xiao beside her.

"Don't worry about it, big sister!"

Without Chen Xiao needing to say anything, Kita Ikuyo, who was already prepared, took the initiative to step forward and gave the female staff member a cute look.

"Wow..."

The staff member was taken aback at first.

Realizing he had lost his composure, he quickly raised his hand and pretended to cough.

"Ahem, I know, it's this one..."

"My name is Kita Ikuyo."

A four-character name?

"Alright, Ms. Kita, the host will call your name in a moment. Please go on stage to perform as we have arranged."

As she spoke, the staff member led Kita Yu to the backstage area on the other side of the stage, where they waited for the host to call her name.

"Phew... I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

At this moment, Ding Jiafang, who had been on edge the whole time, finally felt relieved, or at least temporarily relieved.

"Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"

Chen Xiao chuckled and made a sarcastic remark.

"And Catgrass Teacher... so that's your online name? I'll have to find your account carefully..."

"Hey! Stop spying on me!"

Ding Jiafang grabbed Chen Xiao's hand and begged him not to search her account.

It's simply because his account has too much of anime/manga style.

I dare not show this to anyone other than those who share the same interests. If Chen Xiao were to spread it, I would truly be spiraling into the heavens at the third cosmic velocity!

[Next, please welcome Ms. Kita Ikuyo, invited by Cat Grass Teacher from AC Station, to the stage to sing...]

"Oh! Is it Kita's turn already?"

The two who were really playfully fighting stopped abruptly.

However, the host suddenly went silent halfway through his sentence.

[What do you mean the sound system playing the background music is temporarily unavailable? Ah... Ms. Kita Ikuyo, would you like to continue singing, or have Mr. Nekokusa cancel this performance?]

Ding Jiafang: ?

What, what did you do?
