People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

If you include the return trip, the time spent waiting for others, and other nonsense, it would probably take about 6 hours.

After putting on his going-out clothes for today, Asagi slowly walked out the door, holding a piece of bread in his mouth.

"Su Shi, you haven't practiced your bass much lately. Now that you're a squad leader, how can you still be lazy like this?"

In the lobby of LiveHouse "RiNG", the members of the new crychic band gathered together for the first time in a long time. Shiina Ritsuki stood up first and criticized Nagasaki Motoyo. Originally, Shiina Ritsuki didn't like the name new crychic because it was a copy of crychic.

Moreover, Crychic's Shoko Toyokawa hurt Takamatsu Deng, and Crychic left Takamatsu with very bad memories. As a result, Nagasaki Motoyo came over and said that she wanted to rebuild Crychic, and said that the band's name should be changed to New Crychic.

Otherwise, Shiina Riki would definitely be the first to object. However, Xiao Deng actually agreed.

Even if Xiao Deng agreed, it wouldn't work. Shiina Riki didn't want to bring bad memories to Xiao Deng anymore, because the name always reminded her of the scene where Toyokawa Shoko quit the team and blamed Xiao Deng for the rainy day.

But Xiao Deng suddenly showed a pleading look. How could Shiina Riki resist such a look? She fell in almost a second. So, in the face of Shiina Riki's strong non-resistance, the band's name was changed to new crychic.

Since the matter has been settled, Shiina Tatsuki can only go with the flow.

However, what was unexpected was that the band had just changed its name and many things were still being dealt with, but the captain, Nagasaki Motoyo, actually took leave and was absent for a week. How could Shiina Riki tolerate this?

"I'm sorry, Li Xi. Because of other things, I couldn't participate in the band practice activities. I have reflected on it very seriously." Nagasaki Suyo clasped her hands together and lowered her head to apologize.

"More important than the band?" Shiina Riki calmed down a little and asked in confusion.

Nagasaki Suyo's mind flashed with the image of An and Subaru, and then she said firmly,

"They're all important."

Chapter 138 Loser

Asagi followed the route given by the musician Maeda to a restaurant away from the city center. After arriving, Asagi first took a look at the surroundings.

The restaurant was located on a busy street, bustling with people and even street-side businesspeople. It was bustling and spacious, not a dark alley or street where people were nowhere to be found. Therefore, the possibility of kidnapping could be largely ruled out.

"welcome."

After a warm welcome from the pretty lady at the counter, Asagi opened the door and walked into the restaurant. He first took a quick look at the restaurant's layout. It was a typical coffee and dessert shop, with a number of customers sitting around.

Asagi looked around and among the customers, he immediately spotted a guy wearing a loose long-sleeved T-shirt, with messy hair and a lifeless look in his eyes. He was sitting in a corner, leisurely drinking coffee.

He was holding what looked like a magazine, and Asagi couldn't see the contents. But he recognized the man immediately. He had a slovenly air about him. Was that the hallmark of a music producer? Or was it just Asagi's own stereotype?

In short, it's very conspicuous. And that unique [aura]? It's completely out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"A cup of black tea with milk, and less sugar."

Asagi walked over and sat down in front of the other person, picked up the food on the table and ordered one at random. The waitress quickly wrote it down and said,

"Just a moment please."

At this time, Uncle Maeda across from him slowly raised his head and glanced at Asagi, his eyes not showing much surprise or fluctuation. His eyes were like dead ashes, full of the dead air of an adult.

At this time, Maeda stared at Asagi.

"who are you?"

The uncle's eyes were dull and he asked blankly.

"what?"

Asagi's forehead was filled with black lines, and he even wanted to stand up and hit this guy on the head. It wasn't because he was offended, but because this uncle's attitude was too lazy, as if he didn't take it seriously at all.

Asagi even suspected that he had found the wrong person?

"You are Mr. Maeda, right? I'm Inoue Asagi. We made an appointment, don't you remember?"

"Oh? It's you. I remember I had a date today. Oh, so it was you. I was wondering why I was here. I also found it strange. So that's what's going on."

Asagi looked as if he had suddenly realized something, but the Asagi next to him was not so happy.

"Uncle, are you sick?" Asagi waved his hand in front of Maeda's eyes, then held up three fingers and asked, "Do you know him? Which one is this?"

"Probably 3." Maeda said a little unconfidently.

"That's about right. It looks okay." Asagi breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with peace of mind. At least Maeda answered correctly, which meant that he was still conscious. He was not too sure.

But seeing Maeda in this state, he couldn't help but feel like he'd been tricked, like he'd been ripped off. What could be the reason he'd asked him out, and given his state of mind, was there something serious going on? Or was he drunk and out of his mind, so he'd called him out for no apparent reason?

Asagi couldn't help but start to think wildly.

Maeda in front of me rubbed his temples, trying to make himself more awake. As he rubbed, he sighed.

"Sorry, I stayed up late again last night and only got some sleep at 5 o'clock this morning."

After saying that, Maeda picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip with a slightly apologetic look.

"Uncle Maeda, what's the matter with you calling me here?"

Asagi was not vague and was about to ask directly. At this moment, Maeda's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he remembered something.

"You know the members of the band MY ALL, right?" Maeda said straight to the point. It seemed like the other party had something to ask MMK and the others.

"Uncle, do you need me to help you contact MY ALL?" Asagi asked tentatively.

"Well, there's a music performance coming up soon, and I hope they can attend."

"Is it hosted by the uncle?"

"Very perceptive, kid."

Asagi just thought, "Hey, this uncle probably came to him for this kind of thing. If it was Miura Shiomi who came to him, Asagi would definitely want to poach her." However, this also proved that Asagi's original move was completely correct. If you want to get into a certain circle, you must have someone to guide you.

Although this uncle is a third-rate composer and occasionally hosts some small music performances, he is a person in the circle after all, and he knows a lot of things.

"Sir, your black tea." A waiter brought a cup of black tea and placed it steadily in front of Asagi. Asagi nodded slightly to express his gratitude. The waiter smiled and left lightly.

Asagi also took a sip of his tea, imitating 486 and Nagasaki Motoyo. He apologized, feeling unaccustomed to it. He felt tired and formal, like someone with a well-educated background. He preferred the relaxed and free spirit of Nina and MMK.

So he drank as usual, but there wasn't enough to drink.

"Uncle found me? That means he couldn't contact MY ALL. Since I helped him, does that mean he owes me a favor?"

Asagi also wanted to attend the concert hosted by the uncle. The summer music season is coming soon, and MMK and the others haven't had any live performances recently. This performance can give them some practice.

Moreover, the stage is much larger than the usual live performances, which may attract many new fans.

However, even if the other party took the initiative to propose it, it would give Asagi room to ask for a higher price. The person who spoke first would be the loser.

"Boy, you're quite calculating! But, I can put it this way. I'll consider it as a small favor to you, provided you help me convince MY ALL and the others."

"Leave it to me. But, can I ask you something? Uncle, can't you leave a message on MY ALL's homepage? Only by leaving a message will they see it." Asagi promised solemnly, but at the same time he was a little confused. The other party could contact MMK and the others by leaving a message on the band's homepage.

Generally, small bands care a lot about their fans. Their time is not valuable, and they don’t need to worry about their public image, so they will reply to normal messages.

For example, they will respond to invitations to music performances.

"I left a message, but they didn't reply, and it's been several days." The uncle's tone was a little bitter.

Uh, looking at the uncle's reply, Asagi scratched his head, wondering what MMK and the others are busy with recently.

"Then why did you find me?"

"I just happened to meet a junior who also knows MY ALL. I told her about my idea, and she recommended you to me. But, it also happened that you happened to be on my contact list. What a coincidence, kid."

Chapter 139: Yueyue

After finishing a morning of practice, it was already around 3 p.m. when Nagasaki Motoyo, Takamatsu Teru, Kaname Rakuna, Chihaya Aine and the others walked out of the LiveHouse "RiNG".

The young lady at the front desk kept looking at them with a smile and watched them leave.

"I'm sorry to have wasted your time."

Shiina Riki stood at the front desk and apologized.

"It's okay, it's just a short while." The receptionist said nonchalantly, "You're having fun with your friends, right? It's great to have a group of friends who can play together and share interests. Seeing Lixi happy also makes me feel a little satisfied."

The young lady put her hands on her face, showing a satisfied expression, but that looked a bit like a "pervert". Shiina Riki beside her couldn't help but click his tongue.

However, Shiina Riki was already familiar with the guy in front of her, and she knew his personality very well, which was very much like that of an older sister.

Outside the door, Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Deng, Kaname Rakuna, Chihaya Aine and others waved to Shiina Riki.

"Lixi, we're leaving first. Good luck on your work!"

Yes, Shiina Riki still has work to do, she is also considered an employee of LiveHouse "RiNG".

Shiina Riki felt an inexplicable warmth in her heart, but she still put on a serious face, turned away lightly, and pretended not to see it. After Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Deng, Kaname Rakuna, Chihaya Aine and the others left, Shiina Riki looked in the direction they left and chuckled with satisfaction.

At a street corner, Nagasaki Suyo said goodbye to everyone.

"What should I do next?" She looked down at the time as she went out. It was only a little after 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and it was still a long time before her mother would be home.

"Why don't we just take a stroll? It feels like I haven't been to a shopping street in ages. I'll just take a look at some recent music magazines and look for bands I like."

"Should we practice 486? Did she pass Ms. An and Ms. Tendo's assessment? I'm very concerned."

Thinking about it, I took out my cell phone when I went out, looked at An and Subaru’s profile pictures, and hesitated whether to send them a message.

"Would it be a bit abrupt to ask directly?" Nagasaki Suyo was thinking while walking aimlessly. Suddenly, a voice called her from behind.

"Su Shi, wait a moment."

Nagasaki Suyo turned around and found Chihaya Aine running towards her. Nagasaki Suyo looked at Chihaya Aine curiously, while Chihaya Aine was breathing heavily.

"Ain, didn't you go back with Xiao Deng?" Nagasaki Suyo asked curiously.

"Hehe, I saw Su Shi was alone too, so I suddenly thought of improving my relationship with Su Shi, so I ran over here."

"Where's Xiao Deng?" Nagasaki Suyo looked behind Chihaya Aine, but did not see Takamatsu Deng. Although she was a little happy when Chihaya Aine said that, it would be bad to leave Takamatsu Deng alone. In this case, Nagasaki Suyo also felt a little guilty.

"The lights have gone back on."

"Oh, I see." Nagasaki Motoyo quietly put her cell phone into her pocket. She had originally planned to contact An and Subaru, but the appearance of Chihaya Aine interrupted her plan.

"Then let's just stroll around. I know a large commercial plaza with all kinds of shops. Shall we go together?"

Chihaya Aine nodded.

Shopping malls have always been a favorite destination for girls, especially those with a fashionable streak. This is especially true for fashion blogger Yutenji Wakamai. She's sitting at a table outside a coffee shop in a scenic plaza. She's dressed up beautifully today, or rather, she looks this way every day. It's not just a job requirement, it's her life.

She lifted the coffee to her lips, took a sip, and then put it down. In Yutenji Wakamu's opinion, the important thing about drinking coffee is not the act of drinking, but the way of drinking it.

Yutenji Wakamu was drinking coffee while looking at her mobile phone. As a blogger, any time can be working time, including now.

The content of online anchors is not just about selling goods, but also about sharing their daily lives. Especially for bloggers like her who need to maintain user relationships, she is not a professional knowledge blogger, so she needs more things to connect her with users besides selling goods.

In fact, Yutenji Wakami wanted to spread the word about his role as Ave Mujica's drummer, as this would surely generate significant online traffic. Ave Mujica's debut performance was very successful, and the hype surrounding the "Mysterious Masked Girl" act had made them a popular topic online.

"They must be very beautiful girls."

"Well, maybe she's not pretty, otherwise why would she wear a mask?"

"Maybe she's a young lady from a secluded family, so she can't show her true face to anyone."

In short, the online speculation about the true identity and appearance of Ave Mujica has never stopped. And the agency seems to enjoy this topic.

However, simply having a topic without content is far from enough. As a blogger, Yutenji Wakamugi understands this deeply. Ave Mujica can't just stop at its first live performance without any further action. So, today, Yutenji Wakamugi specially arranged to meet up with Ave Mujica's team leader, Toyokawa Shoko.

Although Shoko Toyokawa is not the nominal captain, or Ave Mujica does not have a captain now, Shoko Toyokawa is the initiator after all. Except for her, Wakami Yutenji, everyone else seems to tolerate Shoko Toyokawa, but cares about her very much.

So, in essence, Toyokawa Shoko is already the captain of Ave Mujica. Although Yutenji Wakami feels excluded from the small circle of Ave Mujica, she doesn't care. What she cares about is Ave Mujica's business capabilities and its ability to make money.

The friendship and bonds between those little girls are no longer important to her as she has entered the real world and is living on her own.

While Toyokawa Shoko hasn't arrived yet, Yutenji Wakami is busy promoting products and making money, because Ave Mujica doesn't seem to have the ability to generate revenue right now.

Because they were a masked band, many of their money-making avenues were blocked, forcing them to rely solely on their strength. Yutenji Wakamugi was somewhat critical of this, but he currently held little influence within the band, and Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have connections with powerful figures. Furthermore, the band was on the rise, so Yutenji Wakamugi remained silent for the time being.

All of this can be ignored, as long as you can make a lot of money...

"Hey, Sushi, wait for me."

Off to the side, some girls seemed to be making a lot of noise. Yutenji Wakamu sighed at this. When broadcasting live, she often encountered noisy people.
