Kazami Mei didn't pay much attention to these words, since he didn't have anything important to do at the moment.

Even if he was only responsible for 'composing', he was still considered a member of Ave Mujica.

The presence of a male member in such a professional all-girl rock band is hardly a good thing. To avoid Mr. Miao smilingly rejecting the band whenever he hears a man, it's better for him to come and meet them in person.

"Xiangzi, who is the remaining member?"

Kazami Mei asked casually.

"It's 'Miaomeng,' a very popular beauty video blogger online. She's quite good at interviewing celebrities to gain more traffic for herself... Recently, she seems to have started recording videos of learning the drums, but actually, her level doesn't seem like that of a beginner."

Ms. Xiangzi, carrying a shoulder bag and walking beside Fengjianming, calmly explained, and in just a few words, she guessed most of the background and operation methods of Teacher Da Miao.

There weren't many customers in this upscale café at this time. As soon as Kazami Naru walked in, she immediately noticed the mature figure sitting by the window. Her short, light purple hair, the color of lavender, was particularly unique. Especially at this time, the combination of sunglasses and a sun hat made her stand out from the crowd.

"I'm very sorry to have kept you waiting. This is Toyokawa Shoko, whom I contacted before."

Toyokawa Shoko immediately switched to formal work mode, calmly walking to the table to greet the other person.

Miss Miaomeng, who had been staring at her phone, looked up in surprise, reached out and pulled down her sunglasses slightly, revealing her bright, pink diamond-like eyes.

"Oh dear? I don't recall hearing about a boy being there?"

Yutenji Wakana looked at Kazami Mei with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Although it was the first time they had met, she was still quite surprised by the black-haired, black-eyed boy. His appearance was even more outstanding than many idols or models she had ever seen!

Most importantly, he looks kind of familiar—

“He is Kazami Mei, the 'composer' in the band, and he just came with me today.”

"Composing music?"

Yutenji Wakana's gaze towards Kazami Naru showed a subtle change, and she couldn't help but glance at him a few more times.

Before, she might have just thought the other person looked familiar, but when she heard the name, she seemed to gradually remember that she had seen a music video of a certain band while surfing the Internet, and also saw the boy's figure in the band's group photo.

With her unique black hair and eyes, and such good looks, it's truly hard to forget her after just one glance.

"Why did you have to be the band's composer? I feel like Kazami-kun would be more suited to debuting as an idol or something."

Just based on this guy's looks and charisma, he's enough to blow most popular celebrities out of the water, right?

"Because it's very troublesome."

Kazami Mei casually replied and then continued looking at the menu.

As expected, the prices at this store were outrageously expensive. Who knew that Xiao Xiang would order a glass of Earl Grey wine for a whopping 850 yuan without saying a word? That price could even last for two days if you converted it into a supermarket bento box!

"Ugh, so cold—"

Yutenji Wakana deliberately showed a slightly dissatisfied expression and began to complain, but while the purple-haired beauty had that expression on her face, she was actually giving him a meaningful look.

This was the first time she had met a boy with this kind of personality. After all, she was a popular online influencer!

Why do you have to stare at that stupid menu?

However, Kazami Mei didn't care what she thought; he was still looking down, seriously considering which drink to order.

Just as Yutenji Wakana was about to say something, Toyokawa Shoko, sitting in front of Miss Meowme, spoke calmly—

"Miss Meow Dream, I have watched all of your videos carefully."

"As a blogger, you also have a great face and enough traffic. As a double-handed musician, you shouldn't bury your drumming talent. Please join my band and give full play to it."

"In this way, you don't have to rely entirely on online videos to get traffic."

Miss Xiangzi's sudden outburst puzzled Miaomeng.

From the very beginning, she had vaguely noticed that the girl in front of her didn't seem to want her gaze to stay on Kazami Mei. With this in mind, Yutenji Wakana had some guesses.

With a slight, beautiful curve to her lips painted with lip gloss, Yutenji Wakana smiled and opened her mouth—

“My name is Yutenji, Yutenji Wakame.”

"So, what are the benefits for me of joining a band?"

As if she had already guessed that this internet celebrity who loves traffic would say such a thing, Toyokawa Shoko smiled slightly and then showed all the other members of AveMujica on her phone.

In just a few seconds, Kazami Mei felt that Nyanmu-sensei's breathing rate had increased several degrees.

If anyone else saw the band's lineup, they would probably react similarly; after all, in the industry, it's like Goku crashing into them in Vegeta.

Yutenji Wakame certainly has a very high level of musical skill, but in less than ten seconds, she could see what kind of potential this band was hiding!

Shoko Toyokawa brought this group of people together; she was a data-driven genius. Even without thinking, she could guess how successful this band would be in the future.

Although Toyokawa Shoko's proud and smug expression made her a little angry...

But unless she's stupid, she's unlikely to give up this opportunity.

"I agreed."

Miss Yutenji, who instantly sensed a business opportunity, spoke up without hesitation.

At the same time, she took off her sunglasses and looked at the two people in front of her with a smile. After hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko still maintained her dignified and elegant sitting posture, as if everything happening in front of her was within her expectations.

I easily won over the popular Japanese internet celebrity because I'm a customer service representative working part-time in Tokyo.

"Then welcome..."

"Hey~ Kazami-kun, will you be coming up on stage with us later?"

Toyokawa Shoko put on a professional smile, but before she could even utter a word, she was successfully interrupted by the pink-eyed woman.

Click.

It was as if the crisp sound of porcelain shattering echoed in my ears.

As Toyokawa Shoko held the pure white porcelain cup in her hand, her face gradually stiffened. Her fingers, gripping the teacup tightly, turned slightly white from the excessive force, and her amber eyes, like those of a work of art, immediately became sharp.

Yutenji Wakana also accurately noticed the obvious change on the proud girl's face; her delicate face, adorned with light makeup, now wore an even more playful smile.

The annoyance of being 'manipulated' by the other party had eased a bit, and there was even a sense of indescribable comfort in my heart.

Hmph~ As expected, she guessed right, didn't she?

Isn't Toyokawa a little too easy to understand?

“Ave Mujica is just a girl band, and Ming is just responsible for composing music for us.”

Before Kazami Mei could even speak, Toyokawa Shoko had already given her cold reply.

"Oh! Isn't that such a waste?"

Yutenji Wakame gently covered her mouth with her small hand, deliberately putting on an expression of utter surprise.

"Ah~ In that case, Kazami-kun, how about we add each other on Line? I'm actually quite curious about composing~ In the future, we can have some tea together like today, since we'll be 'partners' in the same band from now on, right?"

You're curious about that bubble teapot!

Upon hearing this, Kazami Mei couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Although he knew he was indeed very handsome, he didn't believe that he could make a girl like Teacher Miao, who was full of ulterior motives, so proactive after only meeting her for the first time. He ruled out the possibility of love at first sight or the cliché of the two being childhood sweethearts. He guessed that Teacher Miao was using him to annoy Xiangzi next to her.

Tsk, what a woman with a perverse sense of humor.

At this moment, Kazami Naruto could roughly guess what would happen next.

Miss Meow Dream was kicked out of Ave Mujica by Xiangzi because she stepped into the practice room with her left foot first during the day.

That's all for today.

"We have other work to take care of right now! So we'll have to say goodbye for today. I'll contact you via Line later regarding the band's details."

Toyokawa Shoko coldly uttered those words and stood up abruptly. At the same time, she gently reached out and tugged at Kazami Naru's sleeve, signaling him to leave quickly. Judging from the girl's furrowed brows, even he could sense just how terrible Shoko's mood was.

Kazami Mei slowly raised her dark eyes, staring at the smiling Yutenji-san with a subtle look.

If nothing unexpected happens——

The sheet music after Mujica will probably need a lot of revisions, right?

"Miss Yutenji, we'll take our leave now."

"Bye-bye~ How about we go out for tea sometime?"

That's not necessary, since it involves a life-threatening situation.

Unfortunately, Miss Meow Dream didn't seem to notice Kazami Naru's gaze at all. She just hummed a little tune, opened Twitter on her phone, found the photo of the black-haired boy under the official promotional account of [End Band], and then skillfully long-pressed and clicked to save it.

I didn't expect Toyokawa Shoko to be so weak in combat. Who knows what she might say next time? It'll be even more interesting!

……

It wasn't until she completely left that upscale coffee shop that Toyokawa Shoko's anxiety subsided slightly. Although Yutenji Wakana was indeed the most suitable drummer at the moment, Shoko was still somewhat regretful about inviting her.

We need to think of a way to prevent that frivolous woman, whose mind is only focused on traffic, from causing trouble.

"Xiangzi, are you alright?"

As a familiar voice gradually approached her, the coldness on Toyokawa Shoko's face began to melt away the moment she turned her head.

Honestly, what kind of childish tantrum is she throwing?

"I am fine."

"Ming, thank you so much for coming to keep me company today."

Miss Xiangzi blinked her beautiful eyes gently, and a warm smile that made people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze appeared on her face again. Her light blue ponytail was also gently lifted by the breeze.

She seemed a little concerned about her wind-blown hair and couldn't help but reach out and gently straighten her bangs.

"Speaking of which, I was saying before that I'd like to invite Ming to dinner again sometime."

"But after causing such a scene at that ramen shop last time, I feel a little embarrassed to go back there again."

That's right, he felt the staff's gaze was very piercing every time he went there.

It's not a good idea to take Miss Xiangzi to "General Chai's Ramen" now, because she might have found out about the time she secretly paid for it last time. But with Xiao Xiangzi who has limited funds, it's hard to find a suitable place to eat.

If all else fails—

"How about we come to my house for dinner?"

"Eh?"

Toyokawa Shoko's delicate body trembled; she was clearly completely taken aback by his words.

"My cooking is much better than what you get in restaurants, but since you're treating, you'll have to buy the ingredients."

He had recently acquired a batch of high-quality cucumbers from Xiao Mutou and was planning to invite him over to try them. Inviting Teacher Da Xiang over would likely not cause Xiao Mutou to object, and Da Xiang would naturally not feel restrained in front of Xiao Mutou.

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath.

The girl's fair and flawless face was gradually flushed with a rosy hue. She felt her heartbeat quicken slightly. The sudden surge of joy and anticipation made it impossible for her clever little mind to continue thinking. She could only nod gently.

In any case, Ming has now successfully joined her band.

Even if I'm already far behind Gao Songdeng, so what?

Toyokawa Shoko will never give up; she will only strive to win her own victory little by little!

Chapter Five: How You Use My Magic.

It's a new day again.

Kazami Naru had already submitted her application to participate in the Summer Fireworks Festival, and to her surprise, she received a reply from the staff in less than a day and successfully obtained the qualification to perform on stage.

In particular, the time for the band to go on stage after their performance was scheduled for 9 p.m.

Although it can't compare to the prime time slot around 7 PM, it's still an incredibly good spot for a band to finish their performance.

Kazami Mei could have expected that the 'End Band' would get the chance to perform on stage, but she never expected that they would be assigned to this time slot. Is this really the kind of spot a new band should be given?

Could it be that the staff reviewing the photos accidentally stumbled upon a group photo of the band and discovered that the keyboardist was just too handsome, so they couldn't resist doing something behind the scenes?

"Ahem... First of all, we need to celebrate that our live performance registration has been successfully approved!"

"We were also assigned to the 9 PM performance venue, let's give them a round of applause!"

As the team leader, Ichiji Nijika raised her right hand in a speech-like gesture to formally announce the event. In her hand, she held a flyer with the words "Fireworks Festival" printed on it, and the side information board introduced the band's live performance.

Although the band's name hasn't been written down yet, it will be added within a few days at most.

"Oh, that's great!"
