People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

"Okay, translation is over." Asagi glanced at the girl throwing herself on MMK and took a few steps back. "I won't disturb you all from catching up. I'm leaving now. Sometimes, all you need to do is shout. Nina and the others will keep an eye on things for you all."

Asagi walked out with a smile.

Outside, Nina and the others looked at Asagi in surprise. Asagi acted as if nothing had happened. He walked to the side and found a place to sit. For now, Nina's problem was solved, and so was MMK's.

There's still the matter of 486, Rupa, and Ebizuka Satoshi. 486's story is a little different from MMK's; their musical journeys are generally sound, with only minor setbacks.

Even if Asagi didn't care, they could handle it themselves. This meant that the obstacles had been basically cleared, and he could relax for a while.

I'm not sure how Nagasaki Suyo is doing. If you have time, you can go to the LiveHouse "RiNG" to see Nagasaki Suyo and her group perform live. And check out their band's progress.

The last time they talked about going professional, Asagi had thought it would take a lot of energy to persuade them to go professional, but unexpectedly, they decided to go professional on their own, which saved Asagi a lot of energy.

"However, their level is still far from being a professional." Asagi said to himself.

"Someone still has to lead them!"

"What level? Who are you going to bring?" 486 asked. Asagi then noticed that 486 had sneaked over.

"Su Shi and the others. Didn't she tell you that she wanted to pursue a professional career?" Asagi asked back.

Logically speaking, Nagasaki Suyo and 486 have a good relationship. Didn't Nagasaki Suyo tell An and Subaru about this matter?

"Even with friends, we don't tell everything. Different things are best shared with different people." 486 shook his head. "But I already knew that," 486 added.

It didn't matter. Asagi didn't want to discuss this topic any further. He held his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly an idea struck him. He looked at 486,486, who noticed Asagi's gaze and was looking back at him.

"By the way, there's something I want to ask your opinion on."

"Please say."

"I want to bring Sushi's band into our agency. What do you think?" Asagi looked at 486 expectantly. 486 was a little confused. She shook her head and thought for a while, then spread her hands.

"How come I didn't know we had an office?"

“That’s because it hasn’t been established yet.”

"At least let's establish it first before discussing this kind of thing." 486 sighed.

"By the way, does 486 have any cartoons that he likes to watch?" Asagi asked again.

"Cartoons? I watched them on TV when I was a kid, like Magical Girl and Girl Sweetheart. I stopped liking them after I entered junior high."

"Is it because the protagonist is too young?"

"Probably so."

Chapter 199 No Head

Asagi sat outside, waiting for the Diamond Stars to emerge. He didn't know what Rin and the others would come out for, but he had a feeling it wouldn't be long. Diamond Stars was, after all, a relatively unknown band, and bands like them were more constrained by their managers than by their own free will.

If they stay too long, their agent will definitely get anxious.

He glanced at the tent, wondering what was happening inside. It was quiet, no sound could be heard. He wasn't in a hurry, just waiting leisurely.

Nina, who was standing by, tiptoed in and tried to eavesdrop on the conversation, but Ebizuka Satoshi suddenly appeared and stood in front of her.

"Sneaking around isn't a good habit!" Ebizka Satoshi put her hands on her hips and looked down at Nina, a hint of disdain in her eyes. Ebizka Satoshi seemed to dislike Nina's eavesdropping.

"What's this got to do with you?" Nina looked at Ebizka Satoshi with a complaining look, and couldn't help pouting. Although she was very tough, under Ebizka Satoshi's interrogative gaze, Nina timidly took a few steps back and pretended nothing had happened.

Nina was angry, but Ebizka Satoshi was even angrier, so Nina had to admit defeat. After all, the method she chose was indeed not very upright.

"Has Asagi also watched Magical Girl?" An and Subaru beside him looked at him curiously.

"I've seen it, and I really like it." Asagi thought for a moment and nodded. He hadn't seen many traditional magical girl stories, not even the classic "Cardcaptor Sakura".

However, he has watched the anti-traditional magical girl "Magical Girl Little Round Face" many times. But unfortunately, 486 has not been able to appreciate such an excellent work.

"What kind of magical girl does Asagi like?" An He Subaru suddenly became interested and kept asking Asagi questions. It was as if she had grasped something and didn't want to let go.

"Hmm... yellow, headless."

"No head? What the hell is that?" 486 was stunned, unable to digest Asagi's answer for a moment.

"Are you deliberately teasing me? I'm easygoing, but I can get angry too." After thinking for a long time, 486 still couldn't understand what Asagi was saying. What did "yellow" and "headless" mean? Such bizarre words, were they really not just a deliberate perfunctory prank?

An and Subaru turned their heads away angrily and ignored Asagi.

"Uh... no, I'm not kidding, this is real." Asagi tried to explain to 486. However, 486 had never seen Madoka before, so she couldn't understand what Asagi was saying. After explaining for a long time, Asagi couldn't find the right words.

Besides, he couldn't say too much, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.

Amidst Asagi and 486's sporadic conversation, Diamond Star finally emerged. MMK followed behind them, hands clasped in front of her stomach, looking incredibly well-behaved.

MMK is not like this usually. In front of Renna and 486, she always acts like an adult, saying, "I am the captain, I am a professional, I know everything, you little brats, I am going to teach you."

But in front of Rin and the others, MMK completely transformed into a little girl, well-behaved and sensible. The relationship between Rin and the others and MMK was just like the relationship between MMK and Nina. One was responsible for taking care of her, while the other was always throwing tantrums and throwing tantrums.

"We are looking forward to Taoxiang's live performance and want to see her singing."

"I'm not the lead singer anymore, so you can't see it even if you want to."

"?"

"Well, leave it to that kid."

"That kid? He looks about the same age as Hina."

"Hina? That cocky-looking little girl? They're the same size."

"Arrogant? Momoka has met Hina before? She must have seen her on screen. But, Hina is very polite."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this. You guys should leave now. You've been here a long time. Your agent will be angry."

"Only stayed for a while."

"Hurry up and go, hurry up and go." MMK kept urging Diamond Star to leave.

Rin and the others said goodbye to MMK and greeted Nina and the others one by one. Nina is also a fan of Diamond Star, but she likes MMK more, so she was a little reserved in front of the old members of Diamond Star.

Rin and the others walked up to Asagi and greeted 486. 486 had a smile on his face, showing the self-cultivation of an actor.

"Hello, I really like your music." 486 had a bright smile on his face.

"Which one?" Asagi asked curiously, looking at 486.

486 immediately put on a sullen face and glared at Asagi with a resentful look, as if to say, "Stop talking, I'm very angry. Are you deliberately trying to sabotage me?"

It’s all because of 486’s poor acting, Asagi complained in his heart.

Rin and the others didn't care at all. They also responded with bright smiles to 486 to help him ease the embarrassment.

"Thank you for your support. We will continue to work hard."

486 nodded woodenly and looked at them.

"Thank you, too, Inoue." Rin and the others bowed formally to Asagi. "Thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to reconcile with Momoka again."

Asagi was a little flattered for a moment. He had never expected such a situation to occur.

"On the contrary, I should thank you. Thank you for helping MMK." The other party thanked him so formally that Asagi quickly returned the greeting.

"Do you want to add a contact number?" the other party asked proactively.

Asagi's eyes sparkled, his brows gleaming with joy. He nodded vigorously, fearing that if he agreed any later, the other party would regret it. It would be a huge surprise if he could establish direct contact with Rin and the others.

"This is ours," the other party pulled out his phone. After a few attempts, Asagi successfully obtained the contact information of Rin, Nana, and Ai. Suddenly, he had all four members of the Diamond Star team.

"The seniors' profile pictures are so cute." Asagi stared at her phone and swiped to the pictures of Rin, Nana, and Ai. They used more cartoony pictures, but they were still real people, just with a little cartoonization.

"Asaki-kun is really good at talking. Oh, sorry, should we just call you by your name?" Rin and the others quickly apologized.

"Don't worry about it," Asagi waved his hand. He didn't care about this at all. On the contrary, he was used to calling people by their names.

"See you next time." After exchanging pleasantries, Diamond Star left their band's residence. After watching Rin and the others walk away, MMK quietly walked over and gazed in the direction they had left.

Chapter 200 Pressure

At the Ave Mujica location, as the tryouts approached, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but feel nervous. This was a very important competition, at least for Toyokawa Shoko.

Because winning this competition would bring her band immense exposure and popularity. And this was different from her Ave Mujica debut. Ave Mujica's debut was something Shoko Toyokawa had to beg the Toyokawa family for. It was something she had earned by sacrificing her pride and dignity.

That live performance had cost a fortune, representing another heavy burden on Shoko Toyokawa's shoulders. This time, however, was different; it was free, requiring no significant investment. It could even be considered a chance to leap from strength to strength.

If they win, they can perform at the SAG Summer Music Gala in front of hundreds of thousands of people. Even if the timing is bad, as long as they seize the opportunity, they may be able to go further.

At that time, the company will also carry out various publicity and promotion to create topics to increase their popularity.

"Are you sure, my little captain?" Miao Meng walked to the side of Toyokawa Shoko.

Shoko Toyokawa was checking the list of bands participating in this competition. There were about 20 bands participating, most of which were unknown to her.

However, the name Diamond Star surprised Toyokawa Shoko a little. "Does a band like this even need to participate?" Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but wonder.

Diamond Star's popularity has surged recently. Toyokawa Shoko has seen them promoted numerous times on projectors in shopping malls. Their talent aside, they've certainly spent a lot of money.

Projecting advertisements on street malls costs a lot of money, which at least means that their agency values this band very much.

"There's no need to discuss this kind of thing. Do you doubt our ability?" Toyokawa Shoko didn't look at Miao Meng. Miao Meng had always been like this, overly sensitive to the band's direction. Essentially, Miao Meng cared too much about money and nothing else.

Of course, she cares about money.

"Not really. I have great faith in Ave Mujica's abilities. After all, I've placed a huge bet on them. However, other bands are also quite strong. I don't know if you've noticed a band called MY ALL."

"MY ALL?" Shoko Toyokawa was confused. It was a very unfamiliar band and she had never heard of this name.

"Are you really being lazy, or do you not even have time to surf the Internet? Poor little captain, so miserable." Miao Meng said with a half-smile.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to beat around the bush." Toyokawa Shoko ignored Miao Meng's sarcasm, or perhaps she had become accustomed to Miao Meng's slightly sarcastic tone.

"Hey, don't be so hostile." Miao Meng sighed, and then her words became softer and gentler. She sat down next to Toyokawa Shoko, took out her mobile phone and found the band homepage of MY ALL.

On the homepage, the photo of Rencai.MMK5, a human, is clearly displayed in the most conspicuous place, occupying more than half of the phone screen.

"It's a cute girl band, right? Come and take a look." Miao Meng handed the phone to Toyokawa Shoko.

Toyokawa Shoko looked at her doubtfully. She took a quick look at the phone screen and saw a strange band with five girls she had never seen before.

Shoko Toyokawa is very busy. She has no time to browse gossip news or waste time on those unknown bands.

Studying, practicing piano, working part-time, composing, and focusing on the future of her band—all these things kept her busy. She also had an alcoholic father at home who needed her care, and she also needed to devote a considerable amount of energy and time to him.

The only things that the busy Toyokawa Shoko could notice were the top bands at the pinnacle of music, or bands like Diamond Star that were heavily advertised on the commercial streets, forcing their way into Toyokawa Shoko's sight.

Besides that, there was also a crychic for her to worry about.

"A band can't become popular just by looking good; real talent is what matters most."

"They have both the looks and the talent. Give their music a listen; maybe you'll gain new perspectives. Sometimes you shouldn't live in your own world, always believing your own opinions are the only right ones. You don't interact with the outside world, and you don't reveal your inner thoughts, instead hiding yourself away."

“This band has nothing to do with it.”

"It's been discovered."

"Please stop preaching. I'm not in the mood to listen to you. Instead of wasting time preaching, why not practice your drums properly? Miao Meng, your skills still have a lot of room for improvement."

Toyokawa Shoko took the phone from Miao Meng and swiped her finger across the screen. Before listening to the music, there are some key points to pay attention to.

For example, the number of fans.

Toyokawa Shoko scrolled down to the MY ALL fan count, and was slightly surprised to see over 5 followers. With that level of fandom, she couldn't be completely unknown. For a moment, she even thought she'd seen it wrong.

It was not until she calmed down that she realized she was not mistaken.

Confused, Toyokawa Shoko slowly scrolled down, flipping through the pages on her phone until she found the song "MY ALL."

My finger pressed against the play button, but it wouldn't go. Even though I hadn't heard it, the name of the song sounded familiar. It was a song that had been trending online a while ago.

It turned out to be a song by this band! Toyokawa Shoko was a little surprised.

However, this was not enough to make her retreat or lose the fight.

"Captain, are you confident that you can defeat them?" Miao Meng looked at Toyokawa Shoko. Just the moment when Toyokawa Shoko's fingers paused, Miao Meng realized that Toyokawa Shoko knew those songs.
