Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　"As long as the songwriter agrees, there's no problem."

　"Like your band's song 'M87', the copyright belongs to the agency. If our band RAS wants to cover it at a live performance, we need to purchase the rights to use the song."

　What Chu Pingfang explained is the main work that the M78 band will face after their debut. The M78 band is not a campus band formed on a whim, but a professional idol band officially signed by the agency.

　A band's primary source of income is live performances, meaning live shows. But what about idol agencies? A reputable agency can't rely solely on live shows to make a few bucks, right?

　The answer is to sell songs, that is, like a music company, sell the right to use the songs to various parties. The more popular the song is, the greater the income of the agency.

　However, as an idol agency, their work cannot be entirely about selling songs. There are many other expanded businesses, such as shooting commercials, acting as merchandise agents, participating in movies and TV series... and so on.

　Generally speaking, as an entertainment agency, many aspects of business will be involved, but things other than songs are not something that the M78 band can consider now.

　"So, if a newly debuted band doesn't have enough original songs, they can cover songs from other bands, right?"

　"Yes, that's right."

　KSM nodded with satisfaction, and Chihaya Aine finally understood, and the rest was easy.

　"Generally speaking, privately performing a cover song, or even posting a cover video online, won't result in copyright disputes."

　"But if you want to perform a live performance, you need to obtain the copyright to use the song. So, would you guys from the M78 band like to try to cover PPP's songs?"

　"Don't do this kind of thing!"

　As a result, before Aine could even open her mouth, the iron-blooded PPP fan Rika beside her could no longer sit still. She slammed the table and stood up.

　"PPP's songs belong only to PPP. Other bands playing them... That kind of thing, that kind of thing is unacceptable!"

　"Hey, Rikka, your reaction is too exaggerated. If RAS wants to cover our song, that's fine too."

　"Humph~ We at RAS won't cover songs of yours that are so low-level."

　"CHU! Please apologize to everyone in PPP immediately, now! Immediately! Immediately!!"

　It's over, the CRYCHIC issue has not been resolved yet, and the RAS band almost exploded because of a word from Chu Pingfang. Tribute to the legendary king of bombing Chu Pingfang, the RAS Galaxy Battleship sank again, and the version was reproduced.

　You will know whether it is effective or not when Bang Gaozu takes action. Now you know the value of KSM~!

　"Yeah...sorry!"

　Chu Pingfang was almost scared to tears by Rikka who transformed into a guitar berserker. He didn't want to experience another team-breaking crisis. CHU's poor little heart couldn't stand this kind of shock.

　“So the bands of our predecessors were like this, too.”

　Chihaya Aine has broadened her horizons. She thought that other girl bands were all harmonious and had no conflicts, but everyone's feelings are the same. As long as people get along with each other, conflicts will definitely arise, but they can only be resolved through apologies and reconciliation.

　"Okay, Liuliu, don't get too excited."

　KSM really didn't expect Rikka to react so strongly. It seemed like he had come up with a not-so-good idea, but it was a good opportunity to continue the conversation.

　"Lixi, your previous band was called CRYCHIC, right? There should be a song from that band. Do you want to cover it for M78?"

　"Don't do this kind of thing!"

　Scoring twice, just like Asahi Rikka's reaction just now, Nagasaki Suyo slammed the table and stood up.

　"'Haruhi no Kage' belongs only to Crychik, and M78 will perform it... I don't want this kind of thing!"

　"No problem, I agree. Deng has no objection, right?"

　However, unexpectedly, the composer of "Kasuga Shadow" Toyokawa Shoko nodded in agreement. In this case, all that was needed was the lyricist of "Kasuga Shadow" Takamatsu Deng to nod in agreement, and the matter would be settled.

　"Xiao Xiang...why!"

　Ms. Sushi's eyes widened. She couldn't believe what came out of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth. What exactly did CRYCHIC mean to Xiaoxiang?

　"CRYCHIC...disbanded..."

　Wakaba Mutsu, who had been sitting in his seat like a puppet without saying a word, finally spoke these words.

　"Yeah~ Mu, CRYCHIC has disbanded."

　"Is that so? Then...does Xiaoxiang still need me?"

　The topic suddenly became more important. Now you know the value of CRYCHIC.

　Volume 1: 81. Teacher Miao Meng's Ambition

　I don't know why, every time I mention

　During CRYCHIC, the atmosphere always becomes distorted and heavy. Is this the quality of Toyokawa Shoko's carefully selected teammates?

　Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become heavy and awkward, the Metron alien immediately performed a talent to save the mood.

　Although she likes to watch the fun of the earthlings, Su Shishi will cry if this continues. Metron has a good impression of Su Shi.

　You don’t have to say it, as long as CRYCHIC is not mentioned, Su Shi is completely a mother who likes to take care of people, and all the people of Metron are taken care of.

　"Watch my magic show."

　She pulled out two folding fans from somewhere and started doing a geisha fan dance, with two jets of water coming out of the fans, just like some mentally retarded goddess Aqua.

　"Ohhhh! That's amazing."

　KSM clapped his hands. I don’t know how he did it, but at a time like this, just clapping is enough.

　"By the way, let's take a group photo together later."

　Aine took this opportunity to change the subject and said, "Metron, you did a good job. This alien is surprisingly reliable."

　"Okay, but don't stay too late today. We have a live performance tomorrow, so everyone needs to go home early and rest."

　"Then it's decided."

　Aine and Xiangcheng made the decision in just a few seconds, and no one else objected. Basically, if KSM nods, everyone will agree.

　Today's dinner, which was both relaxing and enjoyable yet a little heavy, is almost coming to an end.

　After the dinner, everyone went home. We had to go to dub's live house early tomorrow morning for the final soundcheck rehearsal.

　As expected, Toyokawa Shoko called out to Mu.

　"Wait a minute, Mu."

　"Xiao Xiang...is there something wrong?"

　"Please tell me about Uncle Wakaba and Aunt Minami, and who Metis is."

　"Metis is..."

　Tell Xiaoxiang that it is definitely okay. When Mu was about to explain, a woman in OL clothes appeared behind Ruoye Mu.

　"Miss Mu, it's time to go home. The master and the mistress will be worried about you."

　"Yeah...I understand, Ms. Keiko."

　"who are you?"

　Toyokawa Shoko looked at the woman who suddenly appeared with some suspicion. She didn't remember there was such a servant in Ruoye Mu's house. Shoko knew the driver who usually drove Mu to and from school.

　"I'm here to take Miss Mu home, please don't mind me."

　After saying this, the woman called "Qingzi" by Mu took Wakaba Mu away, and Xiangzi felt very strange.

　"Could it be related to that 'Strange Friends Club'? Uncle Wakaba and Minami joined that strange organization. It's not like a cult, is it?"

　There are countless families in Japan that have been harmed by cults. Even Miss Toyokawa Shoko, who is known for her white lotus lifestyle, knows a thing or two about it. Not to mention that Shoko has been struggling to survive for a year and has witnessed how cruel this society is.

　"no!"

　When she thought of this, Toyokawa Shoko made up her mind that she must get to the bottom of this matter. If she watched Mu being involved in dangerous things, Shoko would regret it for the rest of her life.

　"Didn't Chihaya Aine investigate the "Kiyūkai"? "

　Immediately, Xiangzi thought of what Sankaku Hatsuka had told her. What happened when Hatsuka followed Aine, who was disguised as the landmine girl, to the gathering place of the "Monster Friends Club"? There was no reason for Sankaku Hatsuka not to tell Toyokawa Xiangzi.

　But don't underestimate Ms. Chuhua's loyalty to Xiangzi. Hesitation for even one more second would be disrespectful to her own desires.

　As if by some strange coincidence, Toyokawa Shoko contacted Chihaya Aine. Aine, who was about to go home, was very surprised when she received Shoko's call.

　"Xiao Xiang? What's wrong?"

　"I have something I want to talk to you about. Let's meet in front of the restaurant where we just had dinner."

　"Okay, I'll be right away."

　The dinner had just ended, and Aine hadn't walked too far. When she turned around, she saw Toyokawa Shoko standing at the door of the store waiting for her.

　"Xiaoxiang, what do you want to talk to me about? Aren't you going home?"

　"Regarding Mu's matter, how much information do you know about the "Monster Friends Club"? "

　"I just know a little bit, that's all!"

　Thinking that the other person was not far away, Aiyin immediately called the other person. Fortunately, they had just exchanged contact information at the party.

　After a while, another person came back. It was Teacher Miao Meng.

　"Miao Meng, can you tell us some information about the "Monster Friends Club"? "

　"No problem~!"

　Teacher Miao Meng readily agreed. Of course, as a sophisticated egoist, Teacher Miao Meng had a lot of plans in mind.

　Tsuburaya Agency seems to be an entertainment agency that was established recently, but according to senior Rui Yi, this agency is very powerful.

　This girl named Chihaya Aine seems to be very trusted by President Tsuburaya.

　If I get along well with her, maybe I can get signed as an idol.

　For Miao Meng, who is determined to make her debut, this is a rare opportunity. She is worried that she has no good way to go. Chihaya Aine is simply her lucky star.

　"As I've said before, because of my close encounters with the Nakkers, I was accepted into the core circle of the "Monster Friends Club."

　"I met Wakaba Takafumi and his wife, Mori Minami, at a gathering of core members of the Monster Friends Club."

　"Then do you know why they joined the "Weird Friends Club"? "

　Toyokawa Shoko asked impatiently. She really wanted to know why Mu's parents joined such a suspicious organization.

　"I don't know about that, but there shouldn't be any need for reasons. After all, isn't this a very normal thing?"

　"What do you mean by normal things?"

　"Like I said, there are a lot of important people in the "Monster Friends Club," not just Wakaba Mu's parents, but even several council members. This is probably a gathering for the upper class to socialize."

　Compared to the Lolita Island incident in the United States, the high-level cult gathering in Japan is not that outrageous. After all, neighboring South Korea also did it, and they are all birds of the same feather.

　"It's against the will of heaven... Sometimes I think it's not impossible to let aliens rule the earth."

　Compared to these earthlings who are just sitting there doing nothing, Chihaya Aine sometimes feels that aliens are much better. Although Mephilas's personality is really bad, he really pays attention to work efficiency.

　Volume 1: 82. Shadow of the Devil

　Unfortunately, despite entering the core circle of the "Weird Friends Club", Miao Meng still doesn't know why Ruo Yemu's parents joined this strange organization.

　It can only be explained from an adult's perspective. It is probably to make acquaintances with dignitaries. Aren't the upper class circles made up of people like this?

　Not getting the answer she wanted, Toyokawa Shoko showed an extremely unwilling expression, but she had no other choice.

　"Actually, there's someone who might be able to help."

　"Who?"

　Toyokawa Shoko was surprised, but when Aine said the man's name, Shoko exhaled.

　"Nagasaki Suyo."

　"what?"

　"Although Su Shi never told anyone, she was one of the humans abducted by aliens during the Metron abduction incident."

　"The accomplice who assisted the Metrons in kidnapping humans was named Taro Kobayashi, and it was he who founded the "Monster Friends Club."

　"Wait...wait a minute!"

　Shoko Toyokawa's mind was a little confused, and she suddenly felt bewildered and at a loss.

　"Su Shi was kidnapped by aliens?"

　"Yes, she didn't tell anyone."

　"Then how did you know?"

　"While investigating the "Monster Friends Club," I discovered that its founder was a man named Kobayashi Taro. I also looked into his background and discovered this."

　There are clues to this matter, and Mikado Hatsuka can testify, but Hatsuka is not interested in the "Monster Friends Club". Aine knows the Metron alien and knows that she is currently living in Su Shi's house. It is natural for her to tell Toyokawa Shoko about this matter with a lie that will not be exposed.
