Tokyo Heart Thief's Daily Life

Being able to form a professional band and make money while maintaining one's own musicality is the dream of every musician.

Of course, it is easy to imagine that only one or two out of ten people succeed.

The vast majority of people waste their lives as amateurs, which is why there are so many stories of infatuated female fans supporting good-for-nothing musicians.

So.

There is only one thing that Yamada Ryo wants to express:

"Let's not talk about the future. I just want to play with you right now. I've thought about inviting Momoka-san, but I don't want to be too close to my idol. It's just right to keep a distance of admiration."

"But you are just right. Moreover, you are my disciple who I trained myself. You are trustworthy."

Luo Zhen: "Thank you so much for your trust, Master Yamada. I'm honored that you invited me, really."

Luo Zhen was indeed a little flattered and really wanted to play with them.

Unlike Momoka who is worried about her grades, Hongxia and Yamada Ryo are still just playing around.

And she also said that she wanted to perform on the stage of "Various Stars".

That means playing at home, with even less pressure.

But how can I put it...

In addition to feeling honored, Luo Zhen also felt a bit guilty about Yamada Ryo's kind invitation.

Taoxiang is currently in a bottleneck period, but she is addicted to smoking and drinking... Oh no, I mean playing in a band.

He also formed a band with several high school girls of the same age and had a lot of fun, as if he had left her alone.

I have already cheated on my partner physically and mentally, so it would be so embarrassing if I cheated on him musically as well.

"...Well, anyway, think about it."

Yamada Ryo seemed to see Luo Zhen's dilemma and considerately gave him a way out.

She took the bass and continued to demonstrate the next fingering to Luo Zhen.

She said in passing:

"But it's true that Hongxia and I are recruiting band members. We're still short of guitarists and lead singers. If you have any good talents to recommend, you can introduce them to us."

"By the way, you're studying at Showjin, right? A fan of mine applied for a guitarist position a while ago. If all goes well, she'll be performing this Friday. Remember to come and see her then. You might even recognize her."

Luo Zhen: "Okay, I will come when the time comes."

Luo Zhen and the cool teacher Yamada exchanged fistfights, and the atmosphere was just right.

102. Pink Angel is Coming (4k)

The next day after school, when he went to participate in club activities, Luo Zhen was still thinking about what Yamada Ryo said yesterday.

He muttered to himself:

"Momoka has the guitar vocals and drums, while Ryo and Hongxia have the bass and drums..."

"What are you talking about, Senior?"

Ms. Yoshizawa Sumire, whose skin has become increasingly translucent and tender these days, held hands intimately with Luo Zhen, showing off her close relationship with her senior in the corridor.

Because of the Fangze sisters' unrestrained intimacy, Luo Zhen is now very famous throughout the school, and everyone knows that he has a special relationship with the sisters.

Although their relationship is indeed very special, and they had in-depth exchanges and rock music several times in the luxury suite of the Hilton Hotel yesterday, with all sorts of things like "thorns or no thorns, thorns or no thorns, thorns or no thorns...", this is not the point.

The point is, because of the Fangze sisters' very obvious request, most students thought they were dating.

But those who are familiar with them (such as An Takamaki, Pochi-chan, and Shoko Toyokawa) have all heard their explanations.

They said they asked Luo Zhen to pretend to be their boyfriend to prevent other boys from being too attentive.

Although Luo Zhen still hasn't figured out why they went through so much trouble, making ordinary people think they were dating, but making Xing and the others think they were not.

But maybe this is the sensitivity of adolescent girls, as long as they are happy.

He replied, "I'm working out a list of band members that Momoka and my friends at the place where I work want to form."

Luo Zhen grabbed the sisters' hands and used them to bend their fingers:

"Momoka has a guitarist and drummer, and the part-time worker has a bassist and drummer. So they're short of two bassists, guitarists, and keyboardists (optional) respectively."

"So I was thinking, can I help them find suitable members so that both sides can start activities."

Both sisters had their fingers touched by Luo Zhen, which made them feel a little itchy.

They resisted the urge to throw themselves into Luo Zhen's arms and ask for a kiss, and tried their best to act serious:

"Luo Zhen-hyung is still so enthusiastic. And the ones working there are [them] too? ...They're all cute girls, right~?"

"Why is Senior so popular with women? Is this considered a natural beauty? Is it really because Senior has a natural talent for attracting desirable women?"

Luo Zhen: "That's not a talent. I don't want such good luck with women. Can it be used to exchange for the level of the personality mask?"

Putting aside this joke, the two sisters still tried very hard to help Luo Zhen solve the problem.

They gathered together and decided:

"We have Pochi-chan and Shoko in the light music club now, right? Pochi plays guitar, and Shoko plays keyboard. If we assign them both to the part-time team, we'll have a perfect four of us, right?"

Hmm... Luo Zhen imagined the scene.

Pochi, Nijiga, Yamada Ryo, and Shoko.

These four formed a band and performed under the spotlight of LiveHouse...

"...These four are all beautiful girls, sure, and they're quite pleasing to the eye. But I can't imagine Pochi being able to sing at all. I guess they'll just be a purely instrumental band."

"Ah..." The two sisters immediately understood.

Indeed, they are somewhat familiar with Pochi.

I know that the girl who is so introverted that she is almost like a cell wall is not brave enough to sing while performing on the stage.

And after all, they haven't seen Pochi actually play the guitar yet, so they don't know how good she is.

But according to Luo Zhen, Boqi's teaching of bass was very accurate, and he was indeed familiar with the fingering in the textbook.

This proves that her level must be good. Luo Zhen is quite confident in his introverted little hamster schoolmate.

Ah, but Luo Zhen suddenly remembered.

His master Liang also said that there will be a very pretty female student participating in the performance on Friday, and it seems that she is her fan.

I heard that the girl is also an excellent contestant who can play guitar and sing at the same time.

Then if Pochi joins in, he will only need to focus on the guitar.

That's good, I might consider recommending it.

Yoshizawa Sumire then suggested, "Then let's think about it a little differently. What if Momoka-san takes Pochi-chan and Shoko with her?"

Hmm... Luo Zhen also imagined it.

It is not uncommon to have two guitars in a band, as long as they are divided into lead and consonant.

Moreover, Momoka herself can be the lead singer, so the problem of no one being able to sing is also solved.

"But it's hard for a band to be without a bass guitar, right? Even though I can hardly hear the bass guitar when I listen to the songs, everyone says that the bass guitar is the soul of the band. Can a band with no soul really survive?"

That's true.

The two sisters actually don’t know what role the bass plays in the band, but they just feel that it seems quite important.

By this calculation, it is really difficult to put together a standard band.

"—Senior. And Kasumi-san and Sumire-san, thank you."

After the three of them chatted all the way to the music room, they saw Toyokawa Shoko sitting in front of the piano. She immediately stood up and greeted the three of them.

Xiangzi's perfect smile and ladylike manners were indeed pleasing to the eye, and the Fangze sisters followed suit and returned the favor.

At the same time, Luo Zhen also found that his cutest Pochi-chan was already sitting obediently in the corner, and greeted the three of them in an almost inaudible voice.

This made Luo Zhen decide not to delay any further. He immediately squatted in front of Pochi and looked up at her hidden face:

"Pochi-chan, are you interested in teaming up with someone else?"

"Eh——?! Will I be taken away by my senior to sell my body?! 6д9"

What's going on in this girl's head all day? ... Luo Zhen, who was smiling, was puzzled.

"Don't get me wrong. I'm working at a LiveHouse, and there are two girls there looking for someone to form a band, so I wanted to ask if you want to go."

Luo Zhen briefly introduced Hong Xia and Yamada Liang, and assured that they were both very serious (probably) girls.

Luo Zhen also emphasized that the live house was owned by Hong Xia's sister. They were completely family, so there was no pressure on the performance.

Under Luo Zhen's patient and persuasive explanation, Pochi gradually let go of his nervousness, put his hands on his knees and listened obediently.

Luo Zhen really likes her well-behaved appearance.

An introverted and shy girl would give people the impression of being a small animal. Luo Zhen continued:

"You don't have to rush. On Friday, they should be performing with another student from our school. If you're free then, could you please do me the honor of coming with me?"

Yoshizawa Kasumi: "Wow~ Luo Zhen brother's offensive is so fierce. He asked Pochi out right away. I'm so envious~ (good reading)"

Ahhh Abba Abba Abba... After being teased by Yoshizawa Kasumi, Pochi immediately entered the plasmolysis mode, making that bad-hearted sister stick out her tongue to get away with it.

Nabochi didn't refuse, so Luo Zhen took it as her consent.

Anyway, given this girl's level of not being able to refuse anyone, it wouldn't matter if Luo Zhen kidnapped her directly after school that day. She would definitely surrender and not dare to run away.

This made Luo Zhen really worried about the girl.

What if there really was a rock scumbag in the light music club who was prone to hitting on girls? Wouldn't it be so dangerous if he could just force her to go to the hotel with a strong attack in a matter of minutes?

I have to take responsibility and protect this introverted and shy little hamster.

"And Xiangzi, what do you think?"

Luo Zhen then changed his attack and came to the piano.

Treating Xiangzi Luo Zhen was much more relaxed, and acted very familiar with him:

"Their band is also short of a keyboard player. You'd definitely be welcome there. If you're interested, I can take you to that LiveHouse today."

"Recommend a new band for me... Luo Zhen-senpai, you're such a jerk."

Luo Zhen was suddenly insulted by the dignified and beautiful young lady schoolmate. It felt so good!

But despite saying this, Xiangzi didn't look unhappy at all. Instead, he was smiling happily.

She stopped playing the piano and turned to face Luo Zhen:

"Although I'm quite busy with family matters, I do have some thoughts about forming a new band. What do you think of the members of that band? What are their abilities? Are they at the level to become professionals?"

"Ah... I don't know about that."

Luo Zhen answered honestly.

He thinks Yamada Ryo's level is very good.

It is a level far beyond that of his peers and is already close to being a professional.

But he didn't know Hong Xia's level yet, and he had no idea about the band's overall performance.

Xiangzi nodded in understanding:

"Then I'll think about it. On Friday, if Senior Luo Zhen is willing to invite me, I can spare some time to accompany you to enjoy the performance. ...A date with multiple people is still a date, right?"

"...Xiangzi, are you deliberately saying these ambiguous lines to tease me?"

Luo Zhen now really confirmed the girl's mischievous intentions, watching her covering her mouth and laughing.

Ah, but, after laughing for a while, Xiangzi added:

"Let's not talk about the LiveHouse where my senior works part-time. If Momoka-san is also looking for people to form a band, I'd be more than willing to join."

Oh, Luo Zhen also became interested immediately.
