Reincarnation Band Magician

Liang probably understood, "Is that so? Then you can only adapt slowly. Even if it's an unknown band, you still have to get to know and interact with a lot of people. If the bandmates you join are gentle enough, they might give you plenty of time to adapt.

"Speaking of which, I'm hiring right now. Want to come? All you need is 1,000 yen a week and you can be in a band with me."

"Eh--!"

[Before joining... you're already being bullied? ]

Yili's expression began to twist and spin, and his entire body was about to be drawn into the vortex.

"It's only 1,000 yen...but they're a band! If you could let me join them..."

Trembling, she reached for the pocket of her skirt.

Until a voice rescued her.

"cold."

"I'm sorry, but this way of making money has become an instinct, etched into our DNA."

"Don't carve any messy things into it!"

Qing pulled the girl's face to make her remember it a little.

It can be seen that her success rate in borrowing money is not high, so her borrowing level is also stuck here. Because her acquaintances know her character, as long as she is not in a desperate situation, the little angel Hong Xia can harden her heart and refuse.

"Sit down and have a cup of tea to cleanse your mouth."

"I never thought I could be so extravagant," Liang picked up her cup, first admiring the pattern, then slowly took a sip, "Hmm... this strong and aromatic flavor will be more prominent when added with milk, so it's Assam, right?"

"No, it's Darjeeling. I doubt very much that you've ruined your palate by eating some strange wild vegetables."

"Um……"

Yamada Ryo felt it carefully.

"No, I can still taste it's delicious, but it seems that the worse flavors have been filtered out, which is a good thing."

"Please, don't eat anything unless you have food to eat."

"I have the 'Pictures of Wild Vegetable Appreciation', don't worry."

There is absolutely no way to feel at ease.

A short break on the journey: 271, STARRY

Chatted with Liang about the band.

The bassist asked Yili if he wanted to join their band. Qing shook her head and said, "Yili is a little different from you guys, and his personality..."

Liang thought he was saying Ichiri was too green and thought Hongxia wouldn't care, but looking at the kid's performance, he might not be able to overcome the fear of performing in front of people for a while.

So let's wait and see, and wait until the other party is mentally prepared before making any decision.

It doesn’t matter if you have poor skills, or it’s better this way, as you will feel a greater sense of accomplishment from growing together.

Kiyoshi was so caught up in the moment, not noticing the subtle difference in Yamada's tone regarding the lie Goto-san had spread online.

Generally speaking, lying is not a good thing, but after being a demon, lying became a habit, and Qing has a special aesthetic in this regard.

One of them is: tell the truth when lying.

So he decided to help Yili package his character.

Differentiate from the previous fake abstract remarks, reconstruct the image of "real life" to help Yili desensitize and try to contact humans.

Let's start with a little bit at a time.

Qing persuaded him: "Yili can take a photo as a souvenir and upload it to your social media feed later. Now Yili has friends."

"Really, really?"

I was so moved that my eyes were filled with tears and I couldn't even hold my phone steady. In the end, Yamada helped me take the video.

She seemed to have some experience in photography. The lighting and angles of the photos were good. The color of Darjeeling black tea was as attractive and beautiful as amber. Although it didn't look high-end, it at least perked up the interest of Su Shi.

“If a coffee shop had a picture like this on its sign, I would definitely go in and take a look.”

"Su Shi really likes black tea..."

Afterwards, Yili received these photos with great care, as if he had received a treasure, and started laughing strangely. Before going home to post the status, he sent it to his parents first.

This further confirmed the "rent a friend" hypothesis.

Does a friend who can cook, make tea, and be gentle and caring exist? Perhaps, but they are clearly not related to my daughter's social network.

I can't help but worry more.

……

Live House【STARRY】.

It can be called "Fanxing", a very beautiful name, as beautiful as "Xinge" and "Hongxia".

The weather is nice today, with warm sunshine. This is the first time I’ve come here since the weather cleared up.

Because it is located on the underground floor, the deep steps are still slightly damp, and there are traces of cleaning at the door with the sign hanging on it.

When Qing, her sister, classmates and those who were eating for free came over, a group of people carrying musical instruments just happened to enter in front of them.

When I got closer, I could hear noisy sounds, singing, applause, and conversation.

In fact, it was Qing's first time here, and he found that Su Shi was holding his fingertips and rubbing them gently.

"Su Shi?"

This is not your hand, you should touch your own.

"Sorry, I got distracted. This is my first time in such a... unique exhibition hall."

Ms. Nagasaki recalled the exhibition halls she had visited before. CiRCLE and RiNG were both very spacious and bright places.

"Shimokitazawa, or rather, most performance halls, aren't particularly large. Small venues can sometimes create a lively atmosphere, but there aren't many literal 'underground' venues like this."

After entering, you will see the stage lighting effects and lingering music.

It can accommodate about a hundred people. It is relatively narrow, dim, and the light and shadow are blurred, but the stage lighting effect is excellent.

The indoor performance vibrated the air, the sound waves of guitar and drums seemed to be able to lift up the bangs, and the bassist's street dance performance was also eye-catching enough - because it was the closing segment, not a bass joke.

Su Shi once again grabbed her brother's hand and rubbed his nails.

After trying it just once, she found it very interesting. It was a different feeling, but it also made her feel at ease.

Qing had no choice but to let her do as she pleased, treating it as if she were taking care of a child.

The other was unexpectedly relaxed.

"Hehehehe... This brightness and this narrow atmosphere make me feel safe. This is my home..."

"It's the Ijichi family."

Qing looked around and said, "It seems that they are all bands... Sister Xingge did say that the performances on the opening day also need to be scheduled and reviewed, but I didn't expect so many people to show up."

"Here—can you finally hear me?"

The music died down, and Qing noticed the store manager standing on the other side.

"Many of them come here to enjoy the free performances and drinks. I don't know if these guys have become like this because of playing in a band, or if they are all like this and are now playing in a band."

Ijichi Hoshige was standing at a place that looked like a reception desk or a ticket counter, with a notebook at hand. He started taking notes a while after the band went up, probably to plan and arrange the positions.

“Where are the free drinks?”

Yamada Ryo's ears pricked up.

"You've already drunk quite a bit, be careful not to spit it out." Qing walked up and greeted, "Sister Xingge, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Yes, does the beverage machine operate?"

“I’ve seen it before, but I’m not familiar with it.”

"Then I'll teach you. For those invited today, if anyone wants a drink, give them cola, ice water, barley tea, etc. No alcoholic drinks. If you pay, keep them."

As the staff was tight, Xingge did not refuse. She just gently touched Qing's hair, then quickly retracted her fingers and rubbed it.

The operation of the beverage machine was demonstrated. It was not difficult. The only thing you need to be careful about is not to get burned by hot drinks.

Su Shi looked at the similar beverage machine and thought of their previous communication, feeling a little emotional.

There are beverage machines everywhere, but there are no longer any friends who will be surprised when a drink comes out.

"Okay, the next one is about to start. I have to go watch it. Please leave this side alone! If you want to drink, just take it yourself. It's considered an employee benefit."

Xingge waved and left.

They divided the work, with Su Shi and Liang standing in the front to be responsible for the reception, while he had steady hands and served drinks in the back.

Some people may ask, who is the other person?

At one mile, she had already melted.

Now huddled under the counter.

"One mile, at least get up and take a look. Although it's a little dark here, most of the boxes are like this. Take a look. Maybe this is where you will perform in the future."

"I...ha..."

The pink ahoge poked its head out from the table, spying on the crowd in the distance.

Pochi Crocodile Form.

Miss Su Shi covered her mouth and smiled softly.

At this time, a guest came.

"Private Marseille, are the drinks free? Can I have ten to start with?"

Yamada Ryo stepped forward, exuding a cheeky aura. "It's free here, but please bring your cup for refills."

The other party felt the difficulty and softened his tone, "Okay, give me the Coke first."

He took the drink swiftly, closed the lid, and handed it over.

He drank three cups there, asked where the toilet was, and then came back and drank three more cups.

“Are there many strange people like this in the band?”

"probably."

……

The live performance lasted about an hour and a half, and each band performed at an excellent level.

Perhaps some of them may seem immature in technique or creation, but such immaturity is also a kind of flavor.

At the end of the performance, even Pochi leaned over the counter and looked over there, completely immersed in the music.

It was dark inside, but the bands seemed to glow.

Perhaps this is what "stars" means.

A short break on the journey: 272, before the live

Kira...

Shining like stars.

Sitting on the train going home, looking at the changing scenery outside the window, Goto Ichiri was still recalling the scenes in the Live House.

This was her first time watching a performance at such a close distance. Apart from public places like stations, if there were so many people around Goto Ichiri, it could only be a car accident and people were watching.

"clear……"

When I say the name of my only friend, I feel extremely peaceful and happy.

Today, I met my only friend and visited his house. We had lunch, drank tea, had snacks... and even got a nickname!

I went to see the live performance. After the show, they borrowed the equipment from the recording studio and played it with great enthusiasm.

Although I performed terribly, I was very happy.

Band... Happy...

I really want this time to continue...
