Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Luo Zhen, who was recording the video nearby, nodded with great emotion:

"It's really amazing, worthy of being a professional with 2 followers online. The ensemble is also professional-level, absolutely perfect."

"How about it, Taoxiang? You should be satisfied too, right?"

Momoka: "Hmm. Although the finer details of the playing habits and so on still need to be polished, the level is indeed unquestionable. As long as the two of you are willing to team up, I am very willing to accept it."

Taoxiang carried her guitar on her back with confidence and smiled happily at the two of them.

Taoxiang, who has many years of band experience, knows very well that forming a band is really not an easy thing.

Before the issues of personality incompatibility and musical incompatibility, there are many practical problems facing the members.

There were difficult-to-solve problems like lack of free time, members living too far away from each other... and also simply a lack of ability, which resulted in a lot of time being spent coordinating with low-level teammates.

Although it's not anyone's fault, the gap is still a gap, and it's very frustrating for those who want to be in a band seriously.

On these issues, Lupa and Xiaozhi are already very superior teammates, making Momoka reluctant to give them up.

"..."

Xiaozhi and Lupa looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

Lupa just smiled as usual, plucked the bass strings twice, and signaled Xiaozhi to do as he wished.

Xiaozhi took a deep breath and replied to Momoka:

"Well, I also think your level is very good."

"Momoka is, of course, a professional in every way. Subaru, while still a little green, has a solid foundation and can keep up with the tempo of the piece. That's more than enough."

Oh... Amu tilted his head in surprise. He didn't expect that the compliment was so kind.

The last remaining Rencai faced Xiaozhi with great anticipation:

"What about me, what about me, what about me~? Xiaozhi, praise me too~!"

"...Huh~? Most people would think I was criticizing you at this point, right? ...And don't get your face close to me! What are you doing, you self-indulgent brat! ...And your mouth stinks! It smells like squid. Lead singers, don't eat snacks before singing!"

Poof~(?ω?)

Miss Lupa's shoulders shook as she tried to suppress her laughter.

Logically speaking, a shy girl like Rencai wouldn't be so friendly towards someone she just met.

But maybe because Satoshi is smaller than her, Ninai's crowd-pleasing side was accidentally activated, and it felt like she treated Satoshi like a younger sister and was doted on by everyone.

The arrogant Xiaozhi blushed and pushed Renai away with all his might.

But she remains very objective in her evaluation of music:

"Nina, your vocal skills are terrible! You're breathing in the wrong places! And you're trying too hard. It's going to hurt your throat. You need to learn the correct way to sing!"

"...But, other than that...it's all very good. The emotional integration is especially great. Although immature, it's very touching...You have a gifted voice, please cherish it."

Nina: "Satoshi-chan...Satoshi-chan love~(??＞?＜?) Satoshi, you can call me sister from now on! Call me Nina, Nai-chan, listen~?"

“Hah~?!?”

Xiaozhi's outburst was understandable, and the old house was suddenly filled with a happy atmosphere.

And to be honest, Luo Zhen also agreed with Xiaozhi's evaluation.

Although this girl looks slow and speaks harshly, she is not good at socializing in a different way from Rencai.

But her evaluation of her teammates is quite accurate and her musical sensibility is also very good.

In addition, she was originally responsible for writing lyrics and composing music in the [Red Ginger] team, so her knowledge of music theory must be very high. Like Taoxiang, she is an all-round talent.

This made Luo Zhen very much hope that she could join the team, so as to reduce Taoxiang's burden in all aspects.

......But.

So much for the band members’ comments.

Although these are all good reviews, it doesn't mean that Xiaozhi will join the team immediately.

The final problem, as expected, was still about things outside the team.

The girl still looked at Luo Zhen warily, showing no sign of agreeing with him.

Xiaozhi pointed at Luo Zhen and asked Momoka and the others:

"Honestly, even though this is a personal matter and none of my business... I still want to clarify. Are you all really in a relationship with this man? All three of you??"

......Ah~.

Taoxiang and the others also guessed that there would probably be such a disaster.

The three of them looked at each other and finally nodded in unison.

Taoxiang spoke as a representative:

"Yeah, it's true. I was the first one, then Nina, and finally Subaru. We all have relationships with Luo Zhen... Even before coming to training just now, we just made out and all three of us came once."

Xiaozhi: "Yeah, that's what I thought. I knew... Wait, what did you say?!"

“Before training… just now… that is, when you were talking to me… Woooa! Woo ...

Poor Xiaozhi, his whole body exploded like a cooked octopus!

Lupa was enjoying the show and touched Xiaozhi's head, as if he was coaxing a baby.

Even Nina took the opportunity to follow and imitated Lupa to touch Xiaozhi... In the end, she really touched her to death!

"You people, ahhh! Have some shame! Have some shame~!"

Xiaozhi's eyes were filled with tears, and he was so excited and ashamed:

"Did you know that Japan is a monogamous country?! There's no point in you being with this man! Not everyone can marry him!"

"Even if you take a step back and say you don't want to get married...but this kind of relationship definitely won't last! A man who's been playing multiple women at the same time definitely can't always be honest with you! You'll definitely end up becoming enemies, you'll become enemies!"

Well... Luo Zhen, the most important party involved, remained silent and there was really nothing to refute.

Even if he explained to Satoshi, whom he had just met, and promised that he would love Momoka and the others forever, it would be meaningless.

Including Momoka and the others, no matter how we explain it now, Xiaozhi won't believe it.

So.

Finally, Taoxiang plucked a few strings and answered:

"I understand what you mean, Xiaozhi. If there are these kinds of interpersonal problems among the band members, it can indeed lead to a sudden collapse of the band at some point. I've seen many bands disband due to relationship problems."

"So, let's let the music do the talking. We will maintain this relationship and make the best songs for you. You'll understand once you perform on stage with us, and you'll definitely understand our music."

"..."

Xiaozhi remained silent, just breathing excitedly.

Taoxiang's righteous answer really touched her heart.

For those who want to make a living through music, music should really be the one speaking for them.

Finally, Xiaozhi took a deep breath:

"......All right."

She adjusted her breathing and faced Momoka and the others seriously:

"Then let's make a deal. We'll team up temporarily until we make a new song that satisfies both of us, and then we can perform on stage."

"If the final result is perfect, I won't meddle in other people's business anymore. ...Actually, I wouldn't want to meddle in this kind of business anyway, if you weren't my teammates..."

Xiaozhi seemed to know that he was a little too excited just now, and was now pulling his hair in shame.

But the truth had already been spoken, and she still had to add:

"Let me ask you again. If I ultimately said I wasn't happy with the new music and wanted you to be more serious about the band... would you be willing to break up with this man and start a new, more honest life?"

“‘I don’t want to~!’”

This time it wasn't just Momoka, Subaru and Nina both answered without hesitation.

Renai held the microphone.

Even Xiaozhi was a little scared, and looked at her seriously:

"Xiaozhi, you don't know Luo Zhen yet, so it's okay. But we are serious about this, and it's definitely not just a joke."

"We will be with Luo Zhen for the rest of our lives. Just like we want to be a lifelong band, this is really, really, really serious. So we will speak with facts, and we will definitely convince you."

Xiaozhi: "...That's amazing, you guys."

Even the powerful Satoshi was completely defeated by Nina and the others in the end.

She was completely speechless and nodded in agreement.

-------------------------------------

After packing up, everyone planned to catch the last bus home.

Xiaozhi worked hard to assemble the big and heavy electronic keyboard and originally wanted to take it back.

But Luo Zhen advised:

"How about keeping it in this house? You'll be teammates from now on anyway, and you'll be training together all the time, so it should be fine, right?"

"...That's true."

Xiaozhi and Luo Zhen looked at each other for a while, and finally became unexpectedly docile and obedient.

It seems that the persistence of Taoxiang and the other three just now did indeed touch the wall of her heart, making her not so resistant to Luo Zhen.

It’s so good to have these girlfriends... Luo Zhen nodded with great satisfaction.

It was at this time.

While the other girls were still cleaning up the house.

Miss Lupa arrived at the door first and patted Luo Zhen on the shoulder:

"I'm sorry, Luo Zhen brother. My Xiaozhi has caused you trouble. She has a quick temper. I'm really sorry."

“…No, no.”

Luo Zhen smiled in surprise. "I really like her personality. She's open and honest, and always speaks the truth. She's very similar to Rencai. I think they can definitely become good friends."

That’s true, Lupa nodded with a smile on his face.

This is how interpersonal relationships work; there is always a need for constant adjustment.

If one party's bottom line is touched and they feel they can no longer tolerate it, then they should just go their separate ways.

As long as it is within the acceptable range of both parties, a suitable shape can always be polished out.

Xiaozhi is the sharper type, while Lupa is the softer type... This is what it looks like on the surface at the moment.

Luo Zhen also took a few more glances at the mixed-race sister next to him.

For him, there are still many mysteries about these two new friends.

The mixed-race Lupa, and the underage Ash who looks like he is still a minor.

Why do they work in fast food restaurants for so long? Why do they insist on making music?

The family issues, interpersonal issues, etc. involved are all very complicated things, completely different from the band games played by high school girls.

Luo Zhen also knew that, in turn, to them, they were all a mystery.

How to understand and adapt appropriately is the most troublesome part of interpersonal communication.

As a response to Xiaozhi, Luo Zhen also decided to take the initiative:

"Sister Lupa, why did you and Xiaozhi form a band together? Is this something you can talk about?"

"Hmm~, it's not like there's really any secrets, huh?"

Lupa smiled sweetly, swaying her healthy, plump, light brown thighs and kicking the stones at her feet with her sneakers:

"We were originally a four-piece band and agreed to go to the Budokan."

"But in the end, only Xiaozhi was serious about this wish. The other two members couldn't stand her strict demands and quit. That's really it. It's the most boring band story."

So that's how it is. Luo Zhen can understand it very well.

Xiaozhi's thorny personality hasn't been around overnight. He must have put pressure on his teammates when he was in his previous band.
