The social phobia substitute will not dream of the band girl

If it was just about singing well, you would have already met the requirement, right?

If what you want to achieve is not the teacher's standard, but something else...

The last one refers to before bed!

"You clearly don't have [that need], yet you're pursuing a 'perfect' song... What a contradiction. It's clear that as long as you're human, such a thing wouldn't be possible, yet you clearly deeply accept and love your own existence."

"Who knows about that... I don't know." Enka admitted readily.

"It's already very good, but I guess your wish is more than that. You can't be satisfied with just simple beautiful music, so you keep practicing, right?"

Ping Xin stretched and it was time to end this conversation.

"...Eh?"

"Eh?"

"Hey...what are you surprised about?"

The conversation did end... but it was a very bewildered ending.

......

...

..

"I never thought that the famous Ms. Higuchi Enka would hurt her throat from overtraining... Take today's pain as a lesson, remember it well—"

"..."

"By the way, I won't help you this time, even though the show is live tomorrow. Anyway, you think someone is backing you up, so you dare to act like this, right?"

"..."

After pointing fingers at Enka for a while, Pingxin took out the classic medicine loquat paste...

Don't get me wrong, this is just a daily supply, but Enka rarely eats it.

But Pingxin can understand it. After all, this thing is really sweet... too sweet.

"If it hurts, don't talk. People these days are always on their phones, so typing is fine."

"...When you say that, I feel like speaking."

Classic reverse psychology, right?

Hard...The fist is hard!

"Have you not decided what to do with the things in the box?"

“…” She didn’t answer.

Standing on the rooftop, basking in the sun, it was clearly Friday class time but two high school students were slacking off here without any scruples.

Namo San...Even the Buddha closed his eyes. This is just one aspect of the Dharma Ending Age.

As she stood on the roof, leaning against the railing, the small gold box inlaid with gems gleamed in her hand.

Perhaps she didn't know how to solve it either, and even if she wanted to leave everything to fate, she couldn't let go.

Even if she wanted to leave it to gravity, unfortunately her grip was too tight, just like her mouth, which was very stubborn and would not let go.

Ga~!

"Ah, it's a crow."

Perhaps it was attracted by the shiny things, but after the crow discovered Ping Xin's presence, it obediently landed on the railing between the two of them.

He grabbed it with his claws and stood firmly on it, looking at Ping Xin and making a sound, as if asking him: "Countryman, can I pick this up?"

"Sorry, this isn't mine... but you can ask her."

"Ga~ga~?"

"...I'm sorry, but this box is...an important...artifact."

Actually, it’s neither important nor a cultural relic to her, right?

But if that was the case, why did she keep it?

...It can't be that it's just vain nature, like crows and legendary dragons, who like shiny things?

Laughed——

"Hey, there's a bad woman here who's laughing because she's bullying a kid (a crow). Is no one going to do anything about it?"

"..."

"Never mind... Anyway, be careful next time. Be careful that your beautiful voice doesn't become like that kid (Crow)~"

After extending his arm for the crow to stand on, Pingxin turned and left with it. Even from where she was, Enka could clearly hear his words:

"I don't want you to come all the way here for nothing. Would you like something to eat and drink? ...If you just want something shiny, I have some small things for you. Okay?"

"Gah~!"

"Okay, I know you're excited, don't rub me..."

As the door opened and the footsteps faded away, the conversation that followed became inaudible.

“…Hehe~”

Looking at the jewel box in her hand, Enka smiled.

You really can chat with anyone...

No, should I say quite the opposite?

No, that's not entirely true.

"What on earth is going on..."

It is easy to break the locks of the world, but difficult to break the locks of the heart.

It is easy to meet people's faces, but difficult to know their hearts.

Whether it's vanity or she simply likes shiny crows, Higuchi Enka doesn't care...

Because at least in their pursuit of brilliance and beauty, they always have some similarities.

Chapter 24 Yes, who is it...

Yesterday's special live show "Road to Idol: Joint Live" just ended, and now Pingxin has already started thinking about next week's activities -

"Since Maruyama Aya is working so hard, I'll save the car repair memes, self-search memes, and unpopular memes for later..."

Haha, then I have to thank you~

Leaning back on the sofa with headphones on, Enka was too lazy to even complain about Heishin and just continued flipping through the book in her hand.

But the title and cover of the book always give people a familiar feeling. It may be a book written by an unknown little author while slacking off for a long time. Ping Xin silently turned his eyes away.

"Come to think of it, this book is quite interesting... I'll recommend it to Koito and the others next time."

Uh... I don't think it's necessary. You should keep the good stuff for yourself.

"But who is the author? Publishing in three languages ​​at once, yet previously unknown, is this some kind of spy code book?"

"Haha, who is it..."

Ping Xin chose to play the work card, and soon this week's program began -

.......

...

..

"Haha, then break time is over, it's finally time for our new segment this week... Bang Bang Ka Bang~"

The camera is focused on the switching PPT... Well, it's like someone spent 50 yuan to outsource it to college students.

After all, money, time and energy should be spent on the right things, so this kind of thing doesn't matter.

"[Excellent Works Sharing] session... woooo ...

The members of noctchill and Pastel*Palettes, who had been tortured to death by the punishment just now, collectively pretended not to hear. Some drank water, some ate snacks, and some even closed their eyes and leaned back, ready to sleep.

After all, you said it yourself, "Be more casual and relaxed on the show" or something like that.

"Speaking of which, we actually had a special guest today! We're so lucky~!"

At Ping Xin's command, the two groups of nine people immediately sat up straight. Some of them even regretted why they didn't take the time to touch up their makeup and fix their hair.

After all, embarrassing yourself at home is not embarrassing at all, but rather "I'll do the whole job for everyone", sacrificing the small self to help the big self.

But now that there are guests (outsiders) here, it’s different, you know?

"Because I learned from my prior research that many people really like the animated film 'To Mars' that was released last year, so this time we specially invited the supervising teacher from the main creative team..."

This time, he didn't need to urge them, nor did he have to share the applause for 10 people alone; everyone applauded in anticipation.

"Well then, let's welcome Takemoto-sensei!"

Amidst the applause of the 10 people present and a large number of comments in the live broadcast room, a kind-looking man with black hair and white hair, who was in his late 30s or early 40s, walked up and sat down at a seat just a small table away from Pingxin.

That position is often jokingly called the "execution chair" by netizens.

Because in the talk show's talk segment, usually two groups of idols each sit on a large sofa, and the person who is called out will become the focus in every sense, sitting there and enduring Hirayuko's one-on-one ass beating.

"Haha, the fact that Mr. Takemoto is coming today is a secret among secrets. I haven't told anyone—"

Instead of being ashamed, I feel proud of it. I'm wearing a mask anyway, so what does it matter compared to the show effect?

"Last year, the film was released simultaneously around the world and was a huge hit, creating a phenomenal buzz... Mr. Takemoto, I'm sure you're tired of hearing such flattery. So, could you please share some special secrets in today's live broadcast?"

Without saying a word, the middle-aged man, known as Mr. Takemoto, just looked at Ping Xin with a smile...

She looked at him silently, as if she could see a flower blooming on his face, which made Pingxin feel uneasy...

Speaking of which, Mr. Takemoto is the one who knows his true identity——

bad!

"Um...Teacher Takemoto?" Ping Xin asked cautiously.

"Haha, it's okay. I'm just a little curious... After all, you rarely see mysterious masked people like you in real life."

"Hahahaha, after all, if it's common, I'll have to consider changing to a more attractive style~"

As they talked, they both started laughing and even called each other "old brother", looking like brothers and sisters, which was very touching.

After talking about a few interesting things during the production process, the atmosphere became more and more lively.

As for the idols who were supposed to be the protagonists of the show, won’t they feel dissatisfied?

...Of course everyone has no objection~

"Although I've said a lot just now, brother, I think this is the most interesting part of the entire production process!"

"Haha, bro, just tell me what you think. I promise to laugh the loudest and clap the hardest!"

"Okay! Remember what you said—"

Heinobu felt uncomfortable being suddenly pointed at by Mr. Takemoto, but he nodded anyway.

"Come to think of it, this is something everyone has probably been speculating about, but it's never been officially confirmed... Our film actually started out as 'To the Moon'."

Ah, it’s over. Pingxin felt that he would be beaten up after the show.

"As a result, not long before the release, our talented but extremely willful general... who was also in charge of the script - suddenly said that the title should be changed to 'To Mars'."

"!"

Asakura Tooru's surprise

"Even though everyone is happy to get more than triple their salary, especially the most tired original artists and voice actors... this matter is still very worrying."

"Haha, who is this person who is so willful..." Faced with Mr. Takemoto who was complaining like a half-drunk office worker in a pub, Hirayuko could only laugh and agree with him.

Despite the mask covering his face, Ping Xin still looked away, not daring to look into her eyes.

After all, there is no proper reason for this, it is just completely willful.

So, does this count as spending hundreds of millions to pick up girls?
