People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

“???,,, not this one?”

"I want MMK to hold them back and not let them debut so early."

"I understand. Asagi is concerned about them. She's afraid they'll be cheated by unscrupulous agencies. She's also worried they'll lose their studies and ultimately fail to debut." MMK's analysis was very logical.

No, I want to recruit them and not let them be snatched away by others. For Asagi now, the strength of the band is not important, loyalty is the most important.

Because, for what happens next, he needs someone he can trust.

"Anyway, let's set it for Wednesday night."

After communicating with MMK, Asagi temporarily put aside his panic. He returned to the classroom and reflected on his mistake. He hadn't anticipated how much the world had changed because of his appearance. According to the original story, Sushi and the others were supposed to be a group of enthusiasts, with no intention of debuting.

He lay on the table, looking out the window at the playground helplessly. The outside was very spacious, and looking out, one's heart would also become broader. Regarding the matter of Su Shi and her band, Asagi asked MMK to drag them along. Was this a bad thing for Su Shi and her band?

And there was Toyokawa Shoko. He hadn't expected her to have such an extreme idea. Perhaps, deep down, she still missed her old band, Crychic.

At the after-school LiveHouse "RiNG", at the usual place, Nagasaki Suyo, Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Touma, and Shiina Tatsuki asked Rakuna to sit separately around the table.

Unlike the others, Kaname Rakuna continued to eat by herself. She didn't react much to Nagasaki Suyo's statement that the new crychic was going to be at the Budokan.

Or rather, Kaname Rakuna, who is just a junior high school student, doesn't quite understand the meaning of a martial arts hall.

"Huh? What are you talking about, Suyo?" Shiina Riki stood up, her eyes and face revealing a strange emotion. Her hands tightly grasped the edge of the table to support her body. She put her eyes on Nagasaki Suyo and asked loudly,

"Going up to the martial arts hall? Are you sick? You've been doing things that catch me off guard lately."

"I know what I said sounds a little bit fantasy, but as long as everyone works hard, we will succeed." Nagasaki Suyo smiled falsely.

Seeing the hypocritical smile on Nagasaki's face, Shiina Riki was dismissive. Since the disbandment of crychic, she had been with Nagasaki the longest. During this period, she and Nagasaki had been seeing each other frequently. Shiina Riki was very familiar with Nagasaki's personality.

She has seen Su Shi with a smile, Su Shi with a gloomy face, or Su Shi who is cold and unapproachable.

"Go back and dream, Su Shi. Go back early before it gets dark so you can have more sweet dreams." Shiina Riki sat down on the chair, crossed his arms, turned his face to the side, and was unwilling to continue.

Shiina Riki's attitude was clear: she disagreed with Nagasaki Suyo's sudden inspiration. It wasn't that Shiina Riki didn't have the dream of performing at the Budokan; on the contrary, she could have performed at the Budokan, the dream destination for musicians.

However, Shiina Riki is different from the others. She is a more realistic person. She is the only one working part-time in the band. Therefore, Shiina Riki's understanding is more realistic.

At present, the newly formed crychic has not performed a single live performance, and the number of followers on their homepage has not even exceeded 50. For a band of this level, it is simply a pipe dream to perform at the Budokan.

What's more, they are still high school students and have studies to attend to.

"Isn't what Li Xi said a bit too harsh? Isn't the Budokan the dream of all musicians? Doesn't Li Xi want to hold a live performance in the Budokan?" Chihaya Aine stood up to support Nagasaki Motoyo.

“You should be more self-aware. Especially you, Aine. You have no right to say such things.”

"Huh? I'm not qualified. What are you talking about? You know that, Riki?" Chihaya Aine retorted dissatisfiedly.

"How's your guitar practice going? Can you play those difficult tunes? Have you mastered the playing skills?" Shiina Riki bombarded him with questions.

The arrogance that Chihaya Aine had just ignited was immediately extinguished. She drooped her head, unable to refute.

"I have tried my best, but it is too difficult. I am still a newcomer and it takes time." In the end, Chihaya Aine sat dejectedly in the chair and defended herself in a low voice.

Currently, Nagasaki Suyo and Chihaya Aine have both been defeated. Shiina Riki sits there with his arms crossed, like the final boss, waiting for them to challenge him.

At the moment, the only person Nagasaki Motoyo and Chihaya Aion can rely on is Takamatsu Teru, as Rakuna and they are completely on different wavelengths. Therefore, Nagasaki Motoyo and Chihaya Aion beg Takamatsu Teru to come out and persuade Shiina Tatsuki.

However, Gao Songdeng was not good at speaking. Many of her thoughts became difficult to express once she spoke.

"Lixi, I also want to go to the martial arts hall with Su Shi, including Lixi." Gao Songdeng hesitated for a long time, and thousands of words were only condensed into this sentence.

Shiina Riki looked at Takamatsu Deng in surprise. She didn't expect that Takamatsu Deng would betray her again. Just like last time, Suyo suddenly wanted the band to change its name to crychic. She stood up to object, but found that all four of them were on the opposite side.

This time, too, Sushi pulled the lamp over again. Shiina Riki was helpless against the lamp.

But, even so, the impossible will never come true unless there is a miracle. So, this time, Shiina Riki intends to persist.

"Deng, I also want to go to the martial arts hall with you. But, Deng, do you know how difficult it is to get to the martial arts hall?"

"I don't know," Takamatsu blurted out. Shiina Riki was speechless for a moment, but there was nothing he could do, so he patiently explained, "The Budokan is the ultimate place, a place that so many talented musicians dream of. Amateurs like us can't compete with them at all."

Shiina Riki was about to talk about the West District, but suddenly, Takamatsu Deng grabbed her hand and looked at her with tears in her eyes. Shiina Riki knew that she was going to lose again.

"There's really nothing we can do with you."

Chapter 158: Only My Railgun

On Wednesday night, Asagi was working at Yoshinoya as usual, constantly shuttling between customers and the kitchen in his work clothes. Nearby, Rupa stood at the front desk, soliciting customers.

Asagi handed the menu with the customer's order to Rupa. Rupa took it, looked at it, and then said to Asagi,

"MMK has something to do tonight and can't come."

"I know."

Rupa's head was filled with question marks and her eyelids twitched, but soon she figured it out.

"I've seen the new song you gave us. I think it's very good. Of course, everything written by Asagi is great." Rupa stared at the menu in his hand, his fingers constantly drawing something on the menu.

When Asagi heard Rupa mention the new song "Only My Railgun" that Asagi gave them, she felt a little proud.

"That's because everyone is awesome, so I can only come up with awesome songs. Otherwise, everyone would have to use MMK-san's songs. Of course, I'm not saying that MMK's songs are bad. On the contrary, MMK is very talented, and her songs have flavor. It's just..."

Asagi looked out the window and thought of MMK performing on the street, that solitary figure holding the microphone and carrying the guitar, playing alone. Asagi even thought of MMK playing when it suddenly started to rain heavily. MMK had no time to hide and was drenched by the rain, his long hair sticking to his skin and his whole body soaked.

She hugged her arms and shivered slightly in the rain because of the cold. Passersby hid under umbrellas and talked and laughed with their friends about recent events.

Only MMK, gritting his teeth, screamed in song in the heavy rain.

“It’s just that MMK’s music is not popular among the public,” Rupa sighed slightly.

Hehehe, Asagi and Rupa laughed. Of course, they were not laughing at MMK's song, but rather a kind of knowing smile of mutual understanding.

"By the way, has Nina caused any trouble for Rupa?" Asagi asked about Nina. Nina also worked part-time at Yoshinoya, but her schedule conflicted with Asagi's. When Asagi thought of Nina, he thought of her straightforward personality.

"It's okay,"

Rupa narrowed her eyes and smiled. Asagi could see from Rupa's face that she was helping Nina cover up something. Sure enough, Nina was not having a smooth time here.

Wednesday's customer flow was far less than on weekends, so Asagi had most of the time free. He and Rupa stood in Maeda, chatting intermittently.

Ding-ling-ling,,,

The wind chimes at the door rang, signaling the arrival of a new guest. Asagi picked up the menu and whispered to the door, "Welcome."

Before he knew it, he had been working at Yoshinoya for almost two months, and Asagi had already mastered how to entertain customers.

"Hey," An and Subaru appeared at the doorway, waving. Today, 486 wasn't wearing her usual high school girl uniform, but a more relaxed outfit. A white short-sleeved top with lace cuffs, a black, knee-length skirt that barely reached her knees, and black ankle boots.

"Asaki, good evening." 486 walked in with a swagger and sat down on the chair next to the front desk. 486 lay on the table with his head resting on his arms. He complained as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I am starving."

"What would you like to eat? 486." Asagi walked over and sat in front of 486. When observing 486 closely, you could see that 486's eyes were particularly lively. Even though her mouth didn't speak, you could feel her speaking from her eyes.

"MMK is not here? I didn't see her at the place where she was performing. Could it be that MMK is working?" 486 shook his head and looked around, and found that MMK was not there.

"She went to the LiveHouse 'RiNG'. Because Sushi's band is planning to debut."

"Debut?" 486 instantly perked up. She straightened up and stared at Asagi in surprise.

"Well, MMK went over there to give them some industry education and future prospects," Asagi nodded. Then he thought about MMK's education, like how one person would hide and cry, or how the band would sulk together if tickets couldn't be sold.

"Really been waiting."

"What are you looking forward to, competing on the same stage with Su Shi, or making a guest appearance together?"

"I guess both." 486 fantasized with a smile.

Asagi watched from the side. Sushi's band and MMK's band will definitely perform together in the future, and they will perform together frequently. Moreover, Asagi also wants to perform with not only these two bands, but also Diamond Star.

However, despite the desire, it is still a bit difficult to get Diamond Star. Because Diamond Star is currently developing well and has not encountered any bottlenecks, if you want to get Diamond Star, you can only wait until it becomes bigger and then poach employees.

At the live house "RiNG," Su-Se and her friends asked MMK about their debut. The girls had various aspirations and expectations for their debut, but MMK might have given them a different perspective on their debut.

MMK, Ebizuka Satoshi, Rupa, and Nina, their previous experiences were not that inspiring.

However, there is no hardship in this world that cannot be handled by a live performance. If there is, then two performances will do. The band was hesitant because of MMK's words, and Shiina Riki suggested that the new crychic hold a live performance.

"Want to hold a live show?" Nagasaki Suyo

"Well, it's time to start the live show. We haven't had a live show for a long time, Suye. MMK-san, please." Shiina Riki carefully placed a cup of black tea in front of MMK.

"Thank you, Lixi-chan." MMK smiled sweetly. Today, MMK also changed into a special outfit. Since the last time he came to the LiveHouse "RiNG", MMK bought a set of second-hand youthful clothes online.

Shiina Riki blushed slightly and turned away.

"So, what time is it?"

"It's scheduled for this weekend, so what? Can MMK-san come to see us live?" Chihaya Aine looked at MMK with anticipation.

MMK's expression froze, and he said apologetically, "Sorry, we're going out of town this weekend, so we might not have time."

"It's okay, MMK-san just do your own thing. We were able to hold a good live, MMK-san helped us so much, we are very grateful."

"Oh, by the way, MMK-san. Has your band released any new songs recently?" Chihaya Aine clapped her hands, as if she remembered something.

"Aine, these are trade secrets. How can you ask about them so casually? This will make MMK-san embarrassed." Shiina Riki immediately stopped Chihaya Aine's nonsense. She turned around and apologized to MMK, who waved his hand to show that he didn't care.

"Just tell me." Chihaya Aine begged cutely.

"Well, but I can only tell you the song title. It's 'Only My Railgun'."

"Only My Railgun? I have no idea what it's about."

Chapter 159 hina

After get off work, Asagi said goodbye to Rupa, Ebizuka Satoshi, and 486 as usual. He walked along the street as usual, but this time he suddenly felt the urge to walk around the neighborhood and then take the last bus home.

Usually when this happens, there will always be some chance encounters. I remember that this kind of situation often happens in stories. So, Asagi couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous.

However, after thinking about it, he didn't know anyone here, and most of the people he knew were busy with their own things. He probably wouldn't run into anyone he knew.

The neon lights of the city were flashing constantly at night, and the colorful lights shone through the windows onto the eyes in front of him. He came to a relatively large shopping mall. 9 o'clock in the evening was the busiest time for such shopping malls.

He bought a drink nearby and found an empty seat. Sometimes, people need to go to a lively place to relax and unwind. Sometimes, people are so strange. In a quiet place, their thoughts wander, but in a crowded place, watching others busy themselves, they feel calm.

As he observed the pedestrians on the street, a pink-clad girl appeared in his sight. The girl wore large black glasses that completely obscured her eyes, making it impossible to distinguish her face. However, the girl's bangs that reached her eyebrows and the short ponytail that fell above her shoulders made Asagi feel familiar.

And the small strange hat on her head, Asagi suddenly thought of someone, Hina. Nina's friend, Hina from Diamond and the Star.

How did she appear here? Asagi looked at Hina and couldn't help but think. After seeing Hina, a very realistic and urgent question was put in front of Asagi: should he go up and talk to her?

No, it was about how he could successfully strike up a conversation. Currently, there was no connection between Asagi and Diamond Star. If he wanted to win Diamond Star over in the future, the emotional card would be a good one to play.

Opportunities are fleeting, Hina just passes by occasionally and doesn't stay here for long.

Asagi quickly trotted after him.

"Please wait, wait a moment." Someone in front of him shouted at Hina who was walking quickly in front of him. The mall was crowded and noisy, so Hina didn't hear Asagi's shout at all.

Asagi quickened his pace to catch up. He couldn't let Hina, who had just appeared with great difficulty, disappear just like that, without saying a word.

"Wait a minute, Hina." Asagi shouted.

This time, Hina heard it. She stopped where she was and slowly turned around. Hina looked around, searching for the person who had just called her. Her eyes scanned the area, but she didn't see any familiar figure. Did she hear it wrongly?

Hina turned around and prepared to leave. Asagi called out again, and this time, Hina turned her head sharply. She finally saw clearly the person who called her name, Asagi.

Hina stopped and waited. Her brow furrowed slightly, and she stared at Asagi with some caution. Asagi inched closer to Hina, her guard still on guard.

"I'm sorry to bother you." Asagi apologized, trying to dispel Hina's guard. But Hina was a very rational and smart girl, and she would never let her guard down just because of Asagi's greeting.

"Who are you?" Hina asked.

"I'm a fan of Diamond Star and also a fan of Hina. I just saw Hina passing by, so I wanted to ask Miss Hina for an autograph." Asagi made up this tried-and-tested excuse.

"Fans? Thank you so much for supporting Diamond Star and Hina," Hina said, her expression completely changed. She pulled a business card from her bag, wrote her name on it, and handed it to Asagi.

Asagi reached out to take it, but Hina didn't let go, instead she held the other corner of the business card tightly. Asagi looked up, and the smile on Hina's face had long disappeared, replaced by an unusually cold and indifferent look.

"Hey, Hina-sama, can you please let go of my hand?" Asagi smirked. "Sama" is probably how fans address their idols, though there's also "chan." However, Hina is older than Asagi, so using "chan" is rude. On the contrary, using "sama" is seen as flattering and flattering.

Anyone would be flattered or even a little overwhelmed by this. However, Hina still didn't let go. She held the other end of the business card tightly, taking this opportunity to constantly look at Asagi.

"I don't think you're a fan, you're a pervert. I'm calling the police." After some thought, Hina made a simple decision. She planned to detain Asagi and ask him about his intentions. Calling the police wasn't just a threat, but also a way to protect her own safety.
