Chapter 229 Visiting the Stage
Listening to Goto Ichiri's words, Muto Yu's mouth twitched slightly. How could jogging a hundred meters be considered impressive? Why did the other party's tone sound like something he was very proud of?
After taking the bus and changing buses once, everyone followed Ichichi Hongxia to the hotel they had booked.
There are quite a few tourists coming and going. After all, it is the spring break and the cherry blossom festival is also coming, which has attracted many tourists to travel.
The band's performance is tomorrow, but today they just went out for a quick stroll. The main reason for arriving a day early is to get a better rest and recharge their energy for the performance on stage the next day.
This was the band's first official commercial performance, so the girls took it very seriously.
However, Yu Muto didn't need to go on stage, and since he had a strong physique, he didn't rest early like the others.
I chatted on the phone with Kato Megumi, Sawamura Eriri, and Suzukaze Aoba for a while, and then spent the rest of my time and energy on writing a Type-L game engine.
The next morning, the band, accompanied by Ijichi Hoshika and Muto Yu, went to the venue where they would perform in the evening to visit and rehearse.
After looking at the specific arrangements of the Sakura Festival, Muto Yu discovered that this was actually a celebration combining the Sakura Festival and the fireworks display.
After arriving at the stadium where the performance was to take place, the girls who had finished their band performance looked at the newly-set-up and decorated stage, as well as the auditorium that could accommodate tens of thousands of people, with expressions of great excitement on their faces.
This stage is much bigger than the basement of Fanxing and the auditorium of the campus festival.
"Are we going to perform here next?"
Kita Ikuyo looked at the stage in front of her where some performers were rehearsing with shining eyes.
When she thought about the tens of thousands of people watching her, even the girl who was always passionate couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but of course she felt more anticipation and excitement.
"I feel like... my blood is boiling!"
Ijichi Hongxia also subconsciously covered her chest. She could feel her heartbeat accelerating. At this moment, she was on the road to realizing her dream and realizing her sister's dream.
"Mom, Dad, your daughter has really made it this time."
Goto Ichiri was muttering something, but if you stood directly in front of the girl, you would find that the cherry-haired girl's eyes were dull.
She seemed to be staring at the stage, but in fact her mind was wandering. She was probably imagining some random things, such as tens of thousands of audiences shouting her name together in the subsequent performance?
However, although Goto Ichiri has been receiving psychological counseling for almost half a year, Muto Yu is still very worried that he will mess up the performance because of excessive nervousness before going on stage.
It seemed that it was because Yuu Muto had been on her for too long, or maybe Ichiri Goto happened to temporarily leave the fantasy world at this moment. After feeling the other party's gaze, the cherry-haired girl subconsciously turned her head.
After discovering that the person who had been looking at him was Yu Muto, a hint of joy flashed across Goto Ichiri's face, and then he forced himself to muster up the courage and gave the other person a gentle smile.
"Let's give Pochi-chan some more confidence!"
The worries in his heart slowly dissipated. Muto Yu believed that Goto Ichiri had grown and transformed at this moment, and would not let him down in the future.
Among the four members who ended the band, only Yamada Ryo has not expressed his feelings.
She just stared blankly at the stage, her face sometimes showing melancholy as she recalled the past, sometimes showing relief as she was overwhelmed with emotion, and finally excitement and a little nervousness.
After all, Ryo Yamada, who has the most experience in stage performances in the band, has never been on such a huge stage.
"Hello, I'm the person in charge of the night show for this Sakura Festival. You're the closing band, right?"
A young man with a passerby-like face saw the few people and hurried over, asking uncertainly.
"Yes, I'm the manager of the band that ended up here. My name is Ichichi Hoshika."
After the other party came over, Ijichi Xingge took the initiative to greet him and started communicating with the staff.
"I'm glad you didn't make a mistake. I've already emailed you the detailed procedures for some of the performances. I think you've read them carefully. If you have any questions, you can ask me directly now."
As the staff member spoke, he looked at the members of the band who had just finished their performance, basically glancing at them until he saw Yu Muto who was following them.
"There's nothing we don't understand. The email you sent was very detailed about the relevant matters."
"Is that so? That's good. It saves me the trouble of explaining it in detail."
After hearing Ijichi Hoshige's answer, the staff breathed a sigh of relief, and then their eyes involuntarily drifted towards Muto Yu.
"You keep looking at me, is there something wrong?"
The staff's eyes were always on him. Muto You felt something was wrong and could only take the initiative to ask.
"Um...are you Mr. Kayaba Akihiko?"
After realizing that his subconscious gaze had been discovered by the other party, the staff member hesitated for a moment and then asked Muto Yu in a tentative tone.
"Kayaba Akihiko is just my screen name. My real name is Muto Yuu."
These are not things that need to be kept secret. His photos, real name, age and other information were all exposed half a year ago.
"It's really you, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko. I'm your idol, no, you're my fan, no, I'm your fan. Sorry, I got a little too excited."
After getting confirmation from Yu Muto, the staff immediately became extremely excited and fanatical expressions appeared on their faces.
"It's okay, this also shows that you really like the game I made."
"Yes, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, I have purchased and completed all the games you have made. I have also made relevant mods for the games that support the Creative Workshop."
"And in the IWanna creative workshop, my work ranked third in the most-liked rankings."
"My favorite is Minecraft. It's really interesting..."
This fan is really too enthusiastic, and if nothing unexpected happens, Yu Muto has played the map made by the other party before.
When she went to Sawamura Eriri's house for the celebration party, she made a bet with Muto Yu, but she didn't expect that he never closed it.
Chapter 230: The Unhuman Muto Yu
"Um, Mr. Kayaba Akihiko, could you please sign an autograph for me?"
"Of course, where do I sign?"
When the staff heard that Muto Yu agreed, they were immediately overjoyed and began to search all over their bodies, and finally took out a small notebook that could fit in their pockets.
"Is this ok?"
"of course can."
Yu Muto nodded, took the notebook, turned to a blank page, and signed the four big words "Kayaba Akihiko". After all, this was not his real name, so there was no need to worry about any other problems.
In his previous life, Muto Yu had heard of some unsuspecting celebrities signing their names directly on white paper, and then the fans who received the signatures would simply add some words on them, and the signatures would immediately become IOUs.
Most of these situations will not succeed, but they are still really disgusting.
Since Yu Muto signed his online name, he didn't have to worry about these problems. He simply filled up the entire page with the four words "Kayaba Akihiko".
"Thank you, thank you, thank you very much!"
The staff member took Muto Yu's signature with excitement and put his pocket notebook back into his pocket with great satisfaction.
After further conversation, we learned that the other party's invitation to the band to perform was actually related to Yu Muto.
When Yu Muto recognized the strength of the band and agreed to let them take on commercial performances, he naturally announced the existence of μ Studio using Kayaba Akihiko's account.
This staff member was a fan of Yu Muto. After receiving the relevant task, he thought about ending the band's existence.
In addition, they have just debuted, and as a new band their appearance fee is lower than that of old bands, and the band has quite good strength among new bands.
After a series of factors came together, the band finally arrived here successfully, ready to perform on the commercial stage for the first time.
Among them, the existence of Yu Muto is the biggest factor leading to this result.
After the staff left, the girls who had finished the band all set their eyes on Muto Yuu.
"I didn't expect this commercial performance invitation to have such a hidden story."
Kita Ikuyo said with emotion that the staff member who recognized Muto Yu just now was so excited that he could even be described as fanatical, which made all the girls envious.
As a musician playing in a band, who wouldn't want to be famous, highly renowned, and supported by countless fans?
“If it weren’t for the president, we probably wouldn’t have the chance to be on such a big stage right now.”
Ijichi Hongxia also sighed slightly, and looked at Muto Yu with gratitude and respect in her eyes. After all, among the four members of the final band, she had the worst potential, which also led to her making the least progress.
However, Muto Yu never treated her differently because of this. Instead, he treated her the same as Goto Ichiri and the others, and occasionally said some encouraging words.
For such a Yuu Muto, Ijichi Hongxia feels gratitude, admiration, and some things that she herself cannot explain.
"Okay, it's your turn to go on stage for rehearsal soon. Remember not to be too nervous, just relax, just like usual."
Ijichi Hoshige noticed that her sister's gaze towards Muto Yu was a little subtle, so she quickly stood up and drew everyone's attention to herself.
"Good!" ×4
Although there were many performers from other shows and a lot of staff at the scene, the total number of people was not that large after all, not even as many as the number of people in the Stars, so Goto Ichiri was not too nervous, and everyone performed very well.
So after finishing the band's rehearsal, I was told by the staff that I could temporarily go to the commercial street near the stadium for a walk, but I had to keep my cell phone turned on all day to ensure that I could contact people at any time.
Because of the cherry blossom festival and the fireworks display in the evening, the commercial street is quite lively. Even though the celebration officially starts around noon, there are countless snack stalls set up in advance.
However, because I have to perform on stage in the evening, and these street food stalls are not very clean and hygienic, it is better to be safe than sorry. It would be a pity if these snacks delayed my performance.
So even though the girls who had just finished the band had longing expressions on their faces when looking at the food stalls around them, they were still trying hard to control their appetites.
But Muto Yuu and Ijichi Hoshika don't need to perform on stage, so...
"This takoyaki tastes pretty good...this taiyaki is also okay...the crepe is also delicious..."
They ate as they walked, and Yuu Muto even pretended to be enjoying the food. The four girls who had finished their band could only watch it all, almost crying with envy.
"President..."
"what happened?"
Hearing Ijichi Kouka's voice, Muto Yu took a big bite of the crepe and asked in a puzzled tone.
"Boss, can we go shopping separately?"
"sure."
It can be seen that the girls who ended the band have been tortured by Yu Muto's inhuman behavior.
In fact, in addition to various snack stalls, there are other stalls, including classic celebration stalls such as ring tossing and goldfish scooping, as well as jewelry stalls selling some small souvenirs.
But since Muto Yu has the highest status here, the girls naturally have to follow him to whichever stall he goes to.
So with malicious intentions, Yu Muto went to various food stalls and pretended to enjoy the food. Later, Hoshika Ijichi couldn't help but join in, and the girls who had ended the band felt even more tortured.
Unable to bear it any longer, Ijichi Hongka asked Muto Yu for freedom of movement.
Knowing that the purpose of the prank had been achieved and that going any further would be a bit too much, the boy agreed to the other party's request without hesitation.
Muto Yu looked at the girls who couldn't wait to leave him, shook his head slightly helplessly, and walked towards a jewelry stall nearby with the crepe he had not finished eating.
It just so happened that Ijichi Hongxia and the others were free to move around, and now that he was single again, it was time for him to prepare some small gifts for the girls at home.
The relationship did not go to the end, so the gifts were some simple accessories such as hairpins, pendants, and ornaments. But for the one that went to the final step, Muto Yu prepared accessories such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, and earrings.
In short, I will not forget any girl and I have to take care of everyone.
After a large purchase, items like accessories would have a high premium during such a celebration period, but for Muto Yu, it was just a drop in the bucket.
Chapter 231 Murphy's Law and Red Hair Sent?
The money that Yu Muto now has will only be spent more and more. The various action figures and related peripheral products produced in the toy factory have been sold well all over the world with the help of various popular IPs.
In the future, when producing real 3A masterpieces, Yuya Muto will no longer need to worry about the cost of game development. Moreover, after making one or two 3A masterpieces, the profits generated by the games themselves will allow the game company to achieve self-circulation.
Getting back to the topic, after buying various accessories for the girls, Muto Yu continued to walk along the commercial street and eat as he went.
The taste is actually just average, but for ordinary people, it is good enough.
Moreover, at times like this, the main thing about eating is the atmosphere, not the taste. In addition, although Muto Yu is an excellent cook, he does not have the problem of not being able to eat ordinary food.
While strolling, Muto Yu suddenly frowned because he saw two ruffians dressed in Shamatte style surrounding Goto Ichiri a little further away.
The people around were basically just watching, and no one went up to help. However, it was indeed quite rare in Sakura Empire to speak out when seeing injustice. After all, most people in Sakura Empire were polite but lacked great virtue.
But now is not the time to think about these things. Muto Yu immediately ran towards Goto Ichiri, feeling somewhat excited.
Although his body has been strengthened to its current strength, it is of no use at all. This makes Muto Yu, who has a murderous intent and a weapon in his heart, feel quite disappointed.
Now I can finally try my fists and feet. Even if I haven't learned any systematic fighting skills, can I deal with two thugs just by relying on my absolute advantages in hardware such as strong resistance to blows, explosive power, dynamic vision, endurance, and speed?
Humph, I will make sure they never come back!
"What do you do?!"
Muto Yu quickly ran to Goto Ichiri, first reached out and hugged the cherry-haired girl in his arms to protect her, and then looked at the two "thugs" in front of him vigilantly.
