People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

MMK nodded, understanding what Asagi meant. As a public figure, albeit a minor one, MMK was a minor public figure. Especially when facing controversial topics, one must avoid the important issues, practice tai chi, speak less, and not express opinions or stances, otherwise they'll be attacked by other fans.

Miao Meng glared at Qian Mu with some dissatisfaction, but Qian Mu pretended not to notice and covered it up. He would definitely remind MMK about this kind of thing. Miao Meng was a guy who would do anything for traffic.

If she deliberately takes the band's words out of context, cutting out the beginning and the end, and creates a highly controversial topic, MMK will be in big trouble. Furthermore, this can also be a training opportunity for MMK. The band will definitely attract media attention in the future, and then MMK can lead the group in interviews.

Don't worry about 486; she's incredibly clever and won't make any mistakes. The only ones who might make mistakes are MMK and Niina. Chi-chan will keep her words to herself, and Rupa is a seasoned idiot; it's impossible to tell what's going on.

In the evening, Miao Meng returned to his rental house and looked proudly at the footage he had shot that day.

"MMK, who was able to interview MY ALL, can at least get some traffic." He said, sighing, "Video traffic has been low recently. It feels like it's almost out of fashion. If it continues like this, it will starve to death."

"Ah, Miao Meng doesn't want to starve to death. It would be so embarrassing if the news got out that I starved to death in such a small room." Miao Meng held her cheeks and looked at the quiet night sky outside the window, with envy glittering in her eyes.

"It's hard to make a living in a big city. One day, I might suddenly be unable to support myself. If that happens, how am I going to survive?"

Since coming here, she has hardly asked her family for money. She has to fight for all her tuition fees by herself. When she first came here to study, she also fought with her family for a long time. In the end, she made a big promise that she didn't need her family to pay for her studies and that she could earn money to study on her own.

That's why life is so difficult.

"Is Miss Meow Meng here?"

I was just daydreaming, reminiscing about past troubles, when my phone suddenly rang. I picked it up, and it was a message from the boy I'd met today. I'd already received payment from him, so it was time to pay him back. I just didn't know which girl in the band he had his eye on.

I just hope it’s not too difficult to deal with. However, no matter which one it is, Miao Meng has a way to deal with it.

"Meow Meng is here. By the way, today's interview went very smoothly. Thanks to your help, Meow Meng was able to interview Miss MMK. Thank you very much, Asagi. Uh, sorry, I was rude and a little carried away. Can I just call you by your name?" Meow Meng had a very cold face, but the words in his hand were particularly warm and polite.

"Sure, I don't mind." Asagi replied, "Now that Miss Meowen has gotten what she wanted, can you spare some time to help me?"

"Of course, Meow Meng knows how to repay a favor. Please tell me, who is it? No matter who it is, Meow Meng can help you get together."

"Triangle Chuhua, is that okay?"

"Uh," Miao Meng was stunned for a second, then she recovered. "Asaki is really good at choosing. Chuhua is a very popular idol. It would be difficult to pursue her."

"Can't you do it?" Asagi asked directly.

"Huh? This kind of thing is very simple. I will call her out this weekend. Wait for my notification."

"Oh, I see."

Chapter 307: Guidance of Moonlight

After the conversation, Asagi began searching for the next suitable new song. MMK and the others were hosting their first large-scale live performance, and the agency had invested heavily. The venue rental alone was estimated to be over a million yuan, along with various promotional and partnership expenses.

Asagi scrolled through his phone, familiar melodies emanating from his earphones. Some he could name, others he'd heard many times before, but never paid much attention to. Now, however, he had to memorize the title and lyrics of each song.

It must be you, "Guidance of the Moonlight". Although the song is not very popular, Asagi likes it very much. He often lies in bed alone listening to this song, enjoying the loneliness and tranquility that belongs only to him.

In this world, he is alone, the only one of his kind.

If possible, I hope that Renai will like this song and dedicate it to those confused children. He sent the song and lyrics to the MY ALL group.

"Please use this song. As the band takes an important step into the Budokan, it's perfect to have a new song at this time. I haven't been able to help you guys much lately, and this is the only thing I can offer. I hope you like it, Niina."

"Uh, that's fast." MMK exclaimed in amazement.

"What's so fast?" asked Renai.

"Uh, nothing." MMK chose to keep it secret.

"I love it. I love Asagi's music so much. I love everything." After a while, Nina went over the melody in her mind, her head bobbing slightly, enjoying the piece. Besides the melody, Nina loved the lyrics even more. Seeing them brought back memories of herself yesterday. The self she'd been hiding at home.

If he had known at that time that someone would write such a song for him, he would have been so moved that he would burst into tears, walk out of the room, stand outside in the sunshine, and shout, "I don't want to die!"

"Hehe, that's good." Asagi couldn't help laughing. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to see Nina's expression. She must be very silly. Because, when that guy laughs, he will suddenly become silly and stupid.

"By the way, when will Asagi come to help the band?" asked 486.

"I'm helping Team 2. Besides, everyone's in great shape right now, so there's less need for me. To be honest, I don't know what to do with everyone."

"There are a lot of miscellaneous tasks in the office. Asagi can come and handle those chores. This way, he can be considered as helping and can also save some cleaning costs." Ebizuka Satoshi interjected.

Asagi was stunned for a moment. During the day, they wanted Asagi to work as a cleaner!

"Sorry, I have other things to do right now." I wanted to go check it out, but then I realized I had other things to do. "For example, Team Two. They're not in good shape right now. I need some help."

Besides that, there's the anime thing. Asagi considered many solutions, but ultimately found the dumbest approach to be the most practical. Simply copying wouldn't work, as anime production is incredibly labor-intensive. If he didn't want to compose, he could claim to be incredibly talented and could whip up a single song in just 10 minutes.

Anime requires a massive amount of work, far more than one person can handle. Otherwise, it would be obvious that Asagi was lying. He could occasionally repost a few minutes of footage, but reposting large quantities wouldn't cover up his lies. So, what he needed to do now was to create a manga version, then set up a dedicated anime production company and hire people to produce it to his specifications.

“Okay then.” The group replied.

For the next few days, Asagi went to school as usual, quietly observing Takamatsu's condition. Fortunately, Takamatsu seemed fine, not as depressed as he had imagined. Perhaps his visit to Takamatsu's home a few days ago to take care of her had helped. His words at that time had perhaps helped to ease her feelings a little.

The end of the semester is almost here, and MMK has already started selling tickets. Next weekend, in late June, the live concert they're planning will officially begin. Before then, Asagi hopes to wrap up things with CRYCHIC and bring everyone along to see MMK live.

During this time, Ave Mujica was planning the Budokan. The empty conference room was occupied by only the five members of Ave Mujica; even their manager was absent. Ave Mujica's affairs were largely decided by the band itself, while external matters were handled by the agency.

This allowed Ave Mujica to largely avoid interference from his manager. In a typical agency, the manager holds a dominant position, essentially single-handedly controlling the band's development and planning. However, Ave Mujica enjoyed considerable autonomy.

"The agency is planning for Ave Mujica to perform at the Budokan. After the last SAG performance, Ave Mujica received a lot of attention on the Internet. However, it is not enough, so I suggest that we perform at the Budokan after the summer music festival. During this period, we can continue to expand our fan base and seize the traffic of the summer music season to make the band more well-known." Hachiman Kailing stood in front of the table, holding a black meeting record-like notebook in her hand, and talked seriously about the band's plan.

She stood straight, her eyes fixed on the notebook in her hands, observing the expressions of others with her peripheral vision. She waited quietly, waiting for their opinions.

"Hey? We can obviously go to the martial arts hall, why do we have to postpone it?" Miao Meng lazily lay on the table, looking at Hachiman Kailing with some complaints.

In response, Hachiman Hailing simply ignored Miao Meng's opinion and looked at other people.

"Hey, don't ignore me, Hailing."

"I agree with you, Hailing. The Summer Music Festival is indeed a hugely popular event. If we capitalize on this wave of traffic before heading to the Budokan, the revenue we'll generate will be just as good as the Budokan itself. Besides, we'll need some time to polish the new story." Toyokawa Shoko, the band's leader and team leader, stood up. She looked at Hachiman Hailing and expressed her agreement.

After Toyokawa Shoko expressed her opinion, the remaining Wakaba Mutsu and Sankaku Hatsuka stopped opposing her. Wakaba Mutsu had been silent, and Toyokawa Shoko's attitude represented her attitude, while Sankaku Hatsuka had always been playing the role of a fence-sitter, not expressing any opinions and just following the crowd.

Seeing that no one objected and ignoring Miao Meng, Hachiman Kailing finalized Ave Mujica's next action plan.

After the meeting, Miao Meng secretly glanced at Sanjiao Chuhua beside her.

Chapter 308 Just this once

Sanjiao Chuhua sat quietly in her seat, staring calmly at the backpack in her hand. Her eyes were purple, the same color as Miao Meng's hair, but the difference was that Sanjiao Chuhua had beautiful blonde hair that was very eye-catching.

Many people are attracted by Sankaku Hatsuka's neat and simple blonde hair when they first see her, and then they notice the beautiful idol in front of them. When she was invited to form the idol group "Sumimi", her agency was probably attracted by her blonde hair.

Sanjiao Chuhua packed up the items on the table and carefully put them into her backpack. After everything was packed, she put the backpack on her back, stood up calmly and left.

"Hehe, wait a minute, Chuzi." Miao Meng dragged out the words and raised his hands high.

Sanjiao Chuhua turned around with a strange expression.

"Hmm? Do you have something to ask me? Wakamai-chan."

"Hey, hey, yes, yes," Miao Meng raised her hands high with a typical flattering smile on her face. "Are you free this weekend? I want to invite Chuzi to join us."

"Sorry Ruomai-chan, I'm planning on... this weekend..."

"Don't refuse, Chuzi, please." Before Sanjiao Chuhua could finish his words, Miao Meng rushed over, hugged Chuzi's thighs, and looked up at Sanjiao Chuhua pleadingly.

Mitsukazu Hatsuka was startled by Meow Meng's behavior. After calming down, she looked at Meow Meng with a troubled expression. However, Meow Meng continued to plead, and the others looked over at her. Mitsukazu Hatsuka noticed that Toyokawa Shoko had already left the meeting room.

"Hey, is there something important?" Sanjiao Chuhua's attitude relaxed slightly. This attitude seemed really rude, and Miao Meng's attitude also made her feel trapped. Because Miao Meng's attitude was too humble, if she refused, it might leave others with the impression of being heartless, but if she didn't refuse, Miao Meng would become even more aggressive.

"Ruomai-san, Sankaku-san will be very troubled by your behavior." Hachiman Kailing, who was standing aside and watching the show, finally decided to step forward and end this farce. In some ways, Sankaku Hatsuka was still her classmate, and Meow Meng's behavior was a bit like kidnapping, which she did not advocate.

"Just this time, just this time, please." Miao Meng clasped her hands tightly together, closed her eyes, and begged Sanjiao Chuhua.

"But, the agency has requirements. I can't appear in any commercial activities without permission, including helping Ruomai-chan shoot a commercial video." Sanjiao Chuhua hesitated, trying to find an excuse to refuse Miao Meng. She looked at Miao Meng, who had already humbled herself so much, and had said it was only this time. Even Hachiman Kailing, standing by, couldn't intervene to speak up for her.

Sanjiao Chuhua also had some understanding of Miao Meng, so she decided to retreat and let Miao Meng back down. She guessed that Miao Meng must have wanted her to help her shoot videos privately, which violated the "sumimi" regulations.

After hearing Sanjiao Chuhua's agreement, Miao Meng opened her eyes in gratitude and nodded madly.

"Yeah, well, not shooting a video, definitely not."

This time, the problem came to Sankaku Hatsuka. She had already made a promise, and it was difficult to take it back, so she had no choice but to agree. After receiving Sankaku Hatsuka's promise, Miao Meng made a "yeah" gesture to Hachiman Kailing who was standing beside her. Hachiman Kailing helplessly held her forehead and pretended not to see it.

"Hehehe..." After returning home, Miao Meng leaned back in a chair to rest complacently. She washed an apple and took a bite. Instantly, the refreshing and sweet taste filled her mouth, and Miao Meng squinted her eyes in satisfaction.

"Oh, by the way, I have to notify him." Miao Meng thought of Asagi, so she took out her phone and found Asagi.

"Miao Meng has already prepared everything. We've also agreed with the Hatsuko band to meet on Sunday afternoon. I'll send you the location."

Miao Meng quickly sent the meeting address to Asagi, then happily collapsed into bed. She had already figured out a plan: when the time arrived for Sanjiao Chuhua, she'd pretend to run into Asagi and bring him over. This excuse made perfect sense, and Sanjiao Chuhua wouldn't give her any face; at least she thought he was well-mannered.

Moreover, what she promised Asagi was only to ask Mikado Hatsuka out. Now that she has done so, whether Asagi can fulfill his dream of chasing stars is none of her business.

"Yes, I got it. Thank you, Meow Meng." Asagi continued to practice his painting skills in the rental house. During this period, he wanted to hone his painting speed as much as possible and strive to finish a page of comics in just a few minutes.

As for the graphics technique, practice makes perfect. Asagi only glanced at the message from Meow Meng and replied casually.

On the weekend, Qian Mu followed the address given by Miao Meng to the agreed place, time, and location. The place was a shop selling desserts and coffee. Girls kept coming in and out of the shop. Qian Mu walked outside the shop and took a look through the glass. He soon found the figures of Miao Meng and Sanjiao Chuhua.

They were sitting near the window, seemingly chatting about something. Asagi walked into the store and went straight to their seats.

Miao Meng sat across from Triangle Chuhua, seemingly calmly eating dessert, but her eyes kept looking at her phone. According to her plan, Asagi would send her a message when he arrived, asking her to prepare in advance.

Chu Hua, one of the three people on the opposite side, had always been wary of her, but appeared to be very calm on the surface.

Suddenly, the mobile phone that Miao Meng placed on the table lit up. Miao Meng quickly fixed her eyes on the phone. Through that quick glance, Miao Meng got the message she wanted: Asagi was coming.

So, Miao Meng took advantage of the opportunity and kept looking around. Because she didn't tell Sanjiao Chuhua about Asagi, she wanted to disguise Asagi's arrival as an encounter between acquaintances, and then take the opportunity to invite Asagi to have dinner together.

"Wakamai-chan, you called me out just to eat something simple like this?"

Sanjiao Chuhua stared into Miao Meng's eyes. She still hadn't figured out what was going on in Miao Meng's head. She probably knew Miao Meng a little bit. In Sanjiao Chuhua's opinion, Miao Meng was an extreme profit-seeker. She would not do anything without profit.

When they were together, Miao Meng always wore a fake smile. This kind of person would not invite her out without a reason. So, Sanjiao Chuhua pretended to be calm while secretly observing Miao Meng's every move, including the details of her smile.

Chapter 309 Do you know

Miao Meng became nervous instantly. She looked around secretly, but the familiar figure had not appeared yet, and she felt a little annoyed.

"Can't I have dinner with Hatsuko? I think we should have more dinners together to keep in touch. Xiangzi seems to be very busy and doesn't come even after being invited many times."

Miao Meng sighed, a look of disappointment on her face. Sanjiao Chuhua fell silent. She looked out the window, her gaze becoming empty. For a moment, Sanjiao Chuhua even forgot about Miao Meng. She felt that Miao Meng was right.

She was delighted to see Toyokawa Shoko again. Shoko hadn't changed much, still sporting those cute twin ponytails, and she'd become even prettier. When Shoko asked her to form a band, she was so excited she almost cheered. An irresistible desire clung to her, wanting to go faster and faster.

She formed a band with Xiangzi and realized her dream. The girl's emotions were so passionate.

"Xiao Xiang must have her own things to deal with. She looks very busy."

Miao Meng, who was sitting opposite Sanjiao Chuhua, nodded "hmm," "hmm," and agreed with Sanjiao Chuhua's opinion.

Asagi walked towards Miao Meng at this moment, and Miao Meng saw him when she turned her head. So, Miao Meng waved her hand and called him with a smile on her face,

"Oh, oh," Meow Meng waved her hands vigorously, smiling broadly at Sanjiao Chuhua. At this moment, Meow Meng was trying her best to act like a chance encounter. In reality, Meow Meng didn't know Asagi's true purpose in seeking out Sanjiao Chuhua; she simply assumed he was using her as a stepping stone to pursue Sanjiao Chuhua.

After all, in Miao Meng's eyes, Sanjiao Chuhua was a very beautiful idol. It was only natural that such a beautiful girl, who looked like a doll, would become the object of secret love in the hearts of many boys.

However, Miao Meng could probably sense that Sanjiao Chuhua didn't like this. If she liked him, she would have had a boyfriend long ago, or the boys pursuing her would have lined up behind her. So, Miao Meng planned to make it a chance encounter, so that Sanjiao Chuhua wouldn't get angry and accuse her of taking advantage of him.

"What a coincidence! How come you are here? I thought boys wouldn't come to this kind of store." Meow Meng called Asagi over.

Asagi was confused by Meow Meng's words; they didn't seem to match his expectations. However, he didn't pay much attention and sat down next to Meow Meng. Mikado Hatsuka sat across from him, looking at him curiously. There was a hint of surprise and astonishment on her face, as if she hadn't anticipated Asagi's arrival at all.

Sanjiao Chuhua looked at Qianmu, then at Miaomeng, waiting for Miaomeng's explanation.

"Oh, sorry!" Miao Meng's face was full of apology. She clasped her hands together and lowered her head, as if praying for God's forgiveness. She looked like a nun in a cathedral, kneeling devoutly before the statue of God, confessing her mistakes and praying for God's forgiveness.

"Asaki is my friend. I didn't expect to meet him here. I was so happy that I couldn't help but call him to join me. Will Hatsuko care? If Hatsuko cares, I'll just drive him away." As he said this, Miao Meng deliberately glared at Asaki fiercely, as if he was ready to drive Asaki away at any time.

"Uh, it's okay." Sanjiao Chuhua hurriedly waved his hand to stop Miao Meng. "Since she's Ruomai-chan's friend and we just happened to meet, let's go together."

As an idol, Sanjiao Chuhua, at least on the surface, appears to be much better-mannered than Miaomeng. Because being an idol is a job that requires pleasing fans and sometimes even selling them small perks. A good attitude and a good temper are the most fundamental skills and requirements for being an idol.

Sankaku Hatsuka smiled and greeted Asagi. But after a closer look, she felt the boy looked familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before. So, Sankaku Hatsuka scratched her brow, thinking seriously.

"You seemed to be, during the SAG selection." Sanjiao Chuhua thought of Asagi, "You were, a member of MY ALL, and you were sitting with us..." She said halfway and stopped.

Sanjiao Chuhua glanced at Miao Meng furtively. Since the identities of the Ave Mujica band members hadn't been revealed yet, it wasn't appropriate for her to say something that would expose them. However, Sanjiao Chuhua thought that if he and Miao Meng were friends, she might already know her identity.

For a moment, Sanjiao Chuhua was hesitant.

Asagi nodded, confirming Sankaku Hatsuka's words. He sat across from Sankaku Hatsuka, his mind racing with how to start the conversation. After a while, he couldn't find a good opening line, and he was also a little concerned about what Miao Meng had just said.

Forget it. Asagi shook his head slightly, wiping away the chaotic thoughts in his head. He had come here for only one reason: since he had finally met Sankaku Hatsuka, it would be best to ask her about the matter. After all, Sankaku Hatsuka was a popular idol, not someone you could easily meet.

So, Asagi said directly, "Miss Sanjiao, actually, I have some questions to ask you. Can I take up some of your time?"

Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned for a moment, looking at Asagi, and after a while, she nodded.
