People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

Originally, Nagasaki Motoyo had two considerations. First, she wanted to apologize to her teammates for her misbehavior. Therefore, she needed a live performance. At the peak of a live performance, one's mood fluctuates with the music; music is alive and can touch one's heart.

So, as long as everyone laughs sincerely, the atmosphere will be created and the matter will be over.

2. Waste is not a good thing. 15000 yuan, now that I have the tickets, I should spend them. Adhering to the mentality of saving money, I also took the opportunity to see other bands live. This may have some beneficial effects on the future of Mygo.

But after arriving at the scene, Nagasaki Motoyo was very disappointed because MYGO's style and future direction were more idol-oriented.

Standing at the back of the crowd, Nagasaki Suyo clasped her hands together and looked at the band members, then lowered her head.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know this was going on. If I had known beforehand, I would have discussed it with everyone and made a decision after careful discussion."

Faced with Nagasaki Suyo's apology, Shiina Riki felt a bit resentful and dissatisfied with the scene. However, Nagasaki Suyo had already apologized sincerely, so Shiina Riki could not get angry.

Shiina Riki asked:

"Were you scammed? Where did you get the ticket?"

After hearing Shiina Riki's concern, Nagasaki Suyo's eyes instantly filled with tears, and she told Shiina Riki about her encounter with a scammer in a very aggrieved manner.

"I bought it from a boy."

"how much is it?"

"15000 yuan, 3000 yuan per ticket."

"Huh?" Shiina Riki's mouth dropped open in shock. 15000 yen wasn't a small sum of money. For someone like Shiina Riki who needed to work part-time to earn pocket money, 15000 yen was a small fortune.

"You're such an idiot!" Shiina Riki looked disappointed in his friend, his teeth chattering.

"Next time you meet that liar, be sure to tell me and I'll teach him a lesson. He even took money from such a soft-hearted girl. Oh, that's not right. It's because you're too soft-hearted, Su Shi, and look so easy to bully, that you got cheated. Oh, I see. Did the liar choose you as his target because of this?"

Shiina Riki was caught up in his own detective reasoning. At this moment, Shiina Riki looked very handsome. Nagasaki Suyo looked at Shiina Riki with stars in her eyes, and she thought Shiina Riki was very powerful.

"Well, since we're here anyway, let's just listen."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Chihaya Aine stepped forward to smooth things over.

Takamatsu Deng is not a girl who is good at verbal conversation, so she uses "hmm" and nodding to express her support and affirmation for Chihaya Aine.

Junior high school student Kaname Rakuna, on the other hand, acted like, "Your quarrel has nothing to do with me. I just enjoy watching the live performance." However, Kaname Rakuna is very short, and standing at the back, she was blocked by the taller people in front of her, making it difficult to see the stage in front. This forced Kaname Rakuna to jump up and down to get a glimpse of the stage.

Nagasaki Motoyo, Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Touma, Chihaya Aine, and Kaname Rakuna arrived late to begin with, and then spent a long while waiting outside the live venue. So, by the time they entered, the live was almost ready to begin.

As the seconds ticked towards 6 at 12pm, the curtain slowly opened, and an unfamiliar band walked onto the stage. The band's style was very different from the bands at the Live House "RiNG".

The band's attire resembled a blend of the Beatles and the non-mainstream, with their bizarre makeup, hardly resembling a girl band. In other words, the Mygo crowd was there to listen, not learn. The two performances were so different that there was no chance of borrowing anything from each other.

"It's already started."

An Heang stood up and leaned against the wall to eavesdrop on the music coming from the backstage. As she listened, her eyes kept rolling around, as if she had heard some secret and was very curious.

"When do we go on stage?"

An Heang asked.

MMK was quite familiar with this matter, so everyone's attention was instantly focused on him. This was MMK's time to show off. Although MMK looked quite calm, occasionally, when people needed him to explain something, he would still show his smug look.

"A band's performance lasts about 20 minutes, and our turn comes around 7:."

MMK stood up, raised his finger, closed his eyes, and told the time in a very experienced manner.

An Heang looked at MMK in surprise, making an estimate in his mind.

"20 minutes? Excluding going on stage, leaving stage, adjusting the rhythm, silence, and speaking time, the remaining time is probably enough for four songs."

"Almost the same. However, some new bands have fewer songs prepared, so they will only perform one or two. For the rest of the time, they will introduce themselves to everyone, then DJ and play some open-copyright songs."

MMK affirmed An and Ang's estimates.

4 songs? Asagi panicked. He didn't prepare that many. So Asagi quietly approached MMK and asked:

“Have we prepared that much?”

MMK nodded.

"Zhi-chan and I have also prepared a song each. Don't worry, we won't let this live show go to waste."

"That's good."

Asagi felt relieved.

Chapter 43 It’s Him

The time spent in the preparation room was boring, but except for Asagi, they all had ways to pass the time. They could recall the melody in their minds and practice it over and over again.

Asagi, on the other hand, was staring blankly in complete agony.

"If you're really bored and want to peek, you can sneak in. The management will let you in."

Rupa noticed Asagi's anxiety and made a suggestion.

This suggestion was exactly what Asagi wanted. He didn't need to perform on stage, so cheering from the sidelines would be the best option for him.

"Really?" Asagi was a little unconvinced.

Seeing Rupa nod, Asagi believed it.

He sneaked out of the preparation room, no one paying attention. Then he walked through the corridor to the entrance of the backstage. Someone stood in front of Asagi. Asagi felt his heart beating non-stop. If he was stopped, it would be so embarrassing.

You have to think of a reason. Did you accidentally go to the wrong place?

"You're a member of the band, right?"

The attendant looked at the sticker on Asagi's arm. Bands participating in live performances are usually given a few stickers by the venue's staff. These stickers act like logos, marking and identifying the band.

After the service staff understood the sticker on Asagi's arm, they smiled and seemed to understand Asagi's thoughts.

"First time on stage? Feeling nervous?"

"It's normal for new band members to feel nervous when they first perform on stage, so it's normal to want to sneak a peek at other bands performing on stage."

"So, don't worry. Go inside."

The waitress imagined Asagi's predicament and felt very happy for her own understanding and help. After all, she had seen this situation many times during her tenure.

Those nervous new band members always can't help but sneak a peek at the performance on stage.

As live performers, the band didn't need tickets, and at least there were no rules to prevent them from doing so. Anyway, he'd only be watching for a little while; he wouldn't stay long.

After all, preparing for the indoor band is still very stressful. He needs to adjust his mentality with everyone and be ready to go on stage at any time.

Therefore, the service staff did not care and simply let Asagi enter through the main entrance. The key point is that the ticket check is not here, but at the front desk.

She generally wouldn't stop anyone from entering the venue, but she recognized the sticker on Asagi's hand, so out of concern, she chatted with him for a while longer.

Aside, Asagi nodded repeatedly, making no attempt to defend himself. Rather, this misunderstanding was just right.

Asagi cautiously entered the inner field. The live performance on the stage had already begun. Most of the lights in the inner field were turned off, leaving only a small amount of neon lights to illuminate the scene.

The neon lights were not bright enough, so the live scene was always dim. The audience danced to the rhythm of the band on the stage, which was extremely crazy.

No one noticed the other person coming in, or perhaps they didn't care who it was. They just wanted to immerse themselves in the rock atmosphere and the melody.

And Asagi also discovered a difference. The last time he was at the Live House "RiNG", the atmosphere there was relatively quiet. Even when the band was playing, most of the audience below maintained a steady posture. They did not jump and dance like here, and kept shouting and waving their glow sticks wildly.

Asagi could hear bursts of shouting from time to time.

As expected, there are differences between this place and the live house "RiNG". This difference can be understood as a difference in the target audience, because the venue layout, the band's dress, and the style of the music all have some tendencies.

Asagi stood in a corner behind the crowd at the Live House "RiNG". He was still thinking about going crazy when he saw MMK perform. However, when he arrived at the venue, he found that this was impossible.

He couldn't compare to the group of people present. His madness was just a little more intense and exciting than that group of students.

At the back, Asagi saw a short figure dancing non-stop. At first, Asagi thought she was also dancing madly, but after watching for a while, Asagi realized that she was just short and couldn't see the stage, so she had to jump up.

Asagi watched her, watching her jump around, but couldn't see the stage in front of her. Asagi wanted to laugh, even a little happy. So, he looked back and forth at the girl's position. Because of the dim light, Asagi could only see her silhouette.

Unable to resist his curiosity, Asagi quietly moved towards the girl's position. The inner arena was not very big, only a few meters wide, so it only took Asagi a few seconds to walk over. Moreover, in this kind of atmosphere, it was normal for the audience to move back and forth.

When approaching the girl, Asagi stopped 1 meter away from the girl, because this distance was safe and would not cause any criticism, and he could also enjoy the cute and interesting girl jumping high.

"I can't see." The girl danced and looked helplessly at her friends for help. But her friends had no way to help her in this situation.

In response to Lenai's request for help, Nagasaki Suyo turned around and comforted her.

"There's nothing we can do about it. As long as we can hear it, that's enough."

"Well, the knocking is quite good."

Although Shiina Riki had an unwilling expression on her face, the level of the live band in front of her was not comparable to that of her student entertainment band.

Her eyes lit up and she recognized the level of the band performers on the stage.

Most of those who can perform at these more social live venues are close to professional level. The only thing between them and professionals is an agency. Only a few are newcomers.

These band members were all top musicians in their school, or had been influenced by music since childhood. Of course, Asagi also didn't rule out the possibility that there were many talented and hardworking people in the school.

However, these people are basically the backup force for the various bands on the scene.

Mygo members discuss the live performance.

Asagi was a bit surprised. He didn't expect to meet all the members of MyGO again here. The last time they met was at the Live House "RiNG".

Could this be fate? Asagi observed carefully and noticed Nagasaki Motoyo was there. So, the live ticket Asagi had sold to Nagasaki Motoyo had led to this chance encounter?

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Asagi decided to contact mygo. If he ever opened an agency, he would need multiple bands under his belt.

Besides, it wasn't out of the ordinary for Asagi to greet them. He knew both Nagasaki Motoyo and Takamatsu Touma, and he'd met Chihaya Aine once before. He hadn't seen Shiina Riki and the other one much.

"Mr. Takamatsu Deng." Asagi shouted. He planned to break through from Takamatsu Deng first.

When Takamatsu Deng heard someone calling her, she looked back and saw Asagi.

"Liar! It's him!" Who knew that Nagasaki Suyo would actually point at Asagi and shout.

Chapter 44 Taking Kickbacks

Nagasaki Suyo's voice attracted Shiina Riki's attention. She turned around and glared at Asagi, with sparks seeming in her eyes.

"It's him, it's him! He cheated me out of 15000 yuan."

"Huh? Is that you?"

Shiina Riki slowly approached Asagi with a stern look on his face, cornering her. Meanwhile, Nagasaki Motoyo's voice also attracted Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rana. Kaname wasn't particularly interested in such matters; her world was all about rock and roll and self-will.

But Chihaya Aine is different. She still has a burning gossip spirit in her heart. At the same time, Chihaya Aine still has some sympathy for Nagasaki Suyo being fooled, so Chihaya Aine also joined Shiina Riki's team.

The group surrounded Asagi, looking like they were bullying the weak.

"What do you want to do? Are you going to bully others? Believe it or not, I'm shouting."

Asagi had no idea what was going on; he just wanted to come over and take a look. When he saw someone he knew, he just wanted to say hello. Was that a sin? Should he be punished like this?

Could it be because of Takamatsu Touma? Was that why Shiina Riki deliberately radiated such strong malice towards him?

But, amidst the clamor, Asagi seemed to hear the word "liar"? Liar? Him? Was there a misunderstanding?

"Even if you shout at the top of your lungs, no one will come."

Shiina Riki put her hands on her hips fiercely, giving off a strong sense of pressure. They surrounded Asagi, who was trapped in a corner and unable to escape.

The wall at this moment was something Asagi could not have predicted. After all, accidents always come so suddenly.

"what?"

When Takamatsu Deng saw this, she immediately came over to help Asagi. She held Shiina Riki's hand and kept dragging Shiina Riki to make room.

"You must be mistaken. He is Inoue-san, my friend."

As expected, Takamatsu Touma is a treasure for Shiina Riki, and Shiina Riki will listen to her words no matter what.

"You got the light wrong."

Although she listened to it, Shiina Riki still wondered how Takamatsu Deng could know the liar that Nagasaki Suyo was talking about and was willing to speak for him. This made Shiina Riki a little unhappy. Xiao Deng only needed her and didn't need to know any boys.

Takamatsu Deng nodded vigorously and vouched for Asagi.
