A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

Maybe the atmosphere of this band has influenced the simulation options. I feel like my personality is becoming more and more radical.

Chapter 143 Four little ideas for today!

[Recalling the time you've spent with everyone and the happy experiences of playing in the band, coupled with the memory of being forced to run away from home a few days ago, all of these things make your emotions lean towards rebellion.

So, facing your grandmother who was so calm that she was almost indifferent, you told her your inner thoughts. You believed that the band you were in was not just a so-called musical game. Everyone had their own dreams and heavy pasts, and wanted to use music to prove themselves and to resist themselves. Such a belief was by no means a joke.

Music is another way to express the soul, a cry from the heart. So as long as you put your heart into it, any kind of music is worthy of respect. Everyone's dreams and determination are definitely not a joke, and you hope to prove this to your grandmother, that it's not just about making a mainstream debut that's meaningful.

Your blunt statement caused the atmosphere to freeze. Subaru, who had been suppressing Nina, was utterly shocked, but he was powerless to stop you. However, things didn't seem to get any worse, because Grandma didn't get angry. On the contrary, the wrinkles on her face, which had always been covered with a kind smile, relaxed even further, and she laughed out loud, as if she had heard something amusing.

She tells you with a cheerful smile that your idea is very interesting, and music creation requires just such passion and courage. She has no objection to your involvement in the band's activities, but such a music career is just a waste of your talent, and sooner or later you will have to face reality, and going straight to the mainstream debut is your final destination. She just hopes that you will waste less time and not bury yourself.

If you insist on your own ideas, then she will not severely stifle your wishes as a grandmother, but choose to be tolerant. Of course, tolerance does not mean condoning your behavior. She will indulge you to continue with the band activities, but will also give you a solution to the problem - she has a student who is about the same age as you and is about to graduate from high school. She debuted as a mainstream singer not long ago and will probably have a solo concert next month.

Grandma recognizes your talent and musical level, but she bluntly stated that the band's playing style, which requires a balance of abilities to maximize strength, will drag down one's individual level and easily lead to an outstanding person being buried among mediocre people. It would be great if you could use the strength shown by your students to make you feel the gap in music.

At that time, she will ask her students to invite you to participate in the performance as the warm-up band. The gap between the two sides will naturally be self-evident. I hope you will change your mind at that time.

You readily accepted the proposal and assured your grandmother that you and your band would definitely not lose.

Tip: A new live competition has been added. It will be held in the middle of next month. Players will compete against professional singer "Hoshino Kuruna" on the same stage. The competition will compare stage performance, song quality, performance level, and other aspects. The player with the highest score will win. (If the player wins the competition, they will receive generous rewards)

There is actually a PVP mode performance?

She has played so many rounds and experienced so many things, but she has never encountered a similar event... Could it be that Mygo and Crychic are really short-lived?

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed true. Not to mention Mygo who was only simulated once, Crychic has simulated so many rounds, and the total number of performances is not that many.

For example, although there were a lot of things going on in the simulation on GBC's side, some of the conflicts were transferred to her. And even if there were a lot of things going on, no one would just say they wanted to quit the band without saying a word.

I have a feeling that the vow she made at the end of the band to "goal is to reach the Budokan" can really come true in this band...

However, when she thought about the real situation, she became a little worried again. She was obviously very tired from playing all day and now felt quite sleepy, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on continuing the simulation. There was only one reason, and that was to find a suitable method.

But no matter how you look at it, Aoi in this simulator is going in a very radical and rebellious direction, at least it is something that Aoi, who is still in the form of a well-behaved little lamb, would never dare to imagine.

Not to mention running away from home, she would even think carefully before talking back to her mother, not to mention her grandmother who was even stricter than her mother.

Do we really need to learn from the simulator model?

Let's wait and see...

After making this bet, you no longer had to run away from home, but you still felt a little uncomfortable staying at home for the time being, so you followed Nina and Subaru out of Saotome's house and decided to stay at Subaru's house for a while.

On the way back, Subaru criticized your impulsive and radical behavior, thinking that there was no need to be so blunt and clear about such things, but Nina was obviously very supportive of your choice and said that she would do her best to help you prove the strength of the band in that performance.

Seeing this, Subaru didn't say anything more, but just told you that you should discuss this matter with the remaining three people.

You knew that making decisions for others like this was a bit too much, so you agreed to the request and decided to start with Taoxiang, the most difficult one. So, after having dinner with the three of them on the street, you said goodbye to them and went directly to the rental house where Taoxiang lived.

Because she was working the night shift today, you found that she was not at home when you arrived at your destination, so you could only sit at the door with your bag, bored and browsing your phone. It was not until you felt a little cold that you saw someone dragging a tired body to the end of the street.

After finding you sitting at the door, Taoxiang's reaction was very interesting. She kept blaming you for a long time, but still welcomed you in with a helpless attitude. After preparing tea for you, she patiently listened to your story.

You told her that this was the best opportunity for you to prove your determination to your grandmother and your family. You wanted to keep going with everyone in the band and prove the strength of being together. To this end, you hoped to use this song "Black Sheep" to compete with your grandmother's students in next month's performance.

You hope that the band will go the professional route, and you believe that everyone will not fail, nor do you want to fail, so you hope that Taoxiang can support you.

"...If I say that your grandmother has some truth in what she said, will you be angry?"

After hearing what you said, Taoxiang sighed deeply and took a sip of the hot cocoa she had just made. The emotions on her face were very complicated, as if the original sincere feelings were soaked in the neutralizer called society, and all the emotions were mixed together and became unrecognizable.

She explained her philosophy to you. In her opinion, the world of a band is not easy to navigate. Once you embark on a professional path, there are too many things to consider, especially the trade-off between reality and dreams, which often defeats a person who was once full of confidence.

She doesn't want you to be tainted by that world, and she doesn't want your music, which is so moving now, to be polluted.

Hearing this, your heart couldn't help but become heavy, and you decided to persuade her to give up the idea of ​​making decisions for you without her permission.

①. Tell her that if your next performance fails, you plan to give up music.

②. She must have a problem with her thinking to act so presumptuously. Use the traditional idol animation slap to correct her!

③. Cry bitterly and tell her that you are disappointed and that you have made up your mind. Why did Taoxiang give up?

④. Beg her pitifully to agree.

Chapter 144 A bad woman who is good at using tears.

"You're different from that kid named Niina. You're not the type to get angry easily... But you might not like what I'm saying."

Taoxiang held her cheek with her hand, her eyes not on Kui, but looking at the vast night outside the window with a lonely and dazed look, as if she saw her own high-spirited past.

"The path of a professional band isn't easy... If you want to make a living from it, you inevitably have to think about making money. And once you start thinking about that, it becomes difficult to keep your music consistent with its original sincerity. Audiences, trends, agency requirements... these things will interfere with your music creation."

She took a sip of hot cocoa and let out a soft sigh. "And... you, who was able to write this song, do possess incredible musical talent. Following the path your grandmother laid out, you can easily go even further on this path. But us... I won't judge others casually, but as someone who failed halfway through, I can't guarantee that I won't bury your talent."

This is her concern, and it is also the reason why she has always been reluctant to easily accept the band's professionalization.

She likes Renai's singing and Aoi's music, and the feelings they bring to her make her selfishly want to keep them all and enjoy them quietly without affecting money and life.

She had failed miserably in her career, even on the verge of giving up, the one step away from giving her guitar away and never trying a music-related path again. Now tell her to try to trust again and take on the responsibility of other people's lives, she is naturally unlikely to accept it.

"Aoi, you should go to a higher stage, but we may not be able to go that far with you... In other words, I don't want the band to drag you down."

If she said this in front of Nina, she would probably be slapped in the face. Momoka had this thought in her mind for a moment, and even thought to herself that it didn't matter even if Aoi hated her.

But Aoi is still different.

The expected outburst of anger or slap did not occur. The only response to her words was silence, a silence that was even more deafening than shouting.

Aoi just stared at Taoxiang quietly without saying a word. There was a hint of Taoxiang's fear in her emerald green eyes, and as the eyes gradually became moist, water swirled between her pupils.

"sunflower?"

It would be fine if there was a dispute, Taoxiang was good at dealing with that kind of situation, but suddenly throwing a little sister who was five years younger than her in front of her and watching her cry her eyes out, it would be better to just slap Taoxiang in the face.

She prefers to deal with other people's anger and doubts, and has never been good at dealing with tears, especially the tears of a pure and lovely little girl like Aoi.

"I have made up my mind... I will do my best to save you!"

Aoi clenched her hands, her lips still trembling as she spoke these words, her emerald green eyes were like green leaves washed by rain, brand new, bright, moist and bright, and crystal tears continued to slide down from her eye sockets, silently passing across her fair cheeks.

Aoi was crying, trying to maintain a calm expression, and spoke to Momoka in a suppressed but gentle tone with a trembling voice.

"I've made up my mind. I believe I can complete this challenge. I also believe in everyone in the band and in Sister Taoxiang... Since I've chosen to believe, I will never regret it. I've thought about the setbacks I might encounter in the future and the conflicts between us... But no matter what, I don't want to give up. I want to overcome it together with everyone."

Aoi gently reached out her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her expression still didn't show much sadness, only a hint of disappointment could be seen in her eyes.

"But... why did Taoxiang give up first? If you lack confidence, I will do everything in my power to help you regain it. If you lack confidence in everyone else, I will try my best to grow and develop with everyone else... But I can't accept Taoxiang giving up using me as an excuse."

Hidden in her crying was the most sincere emotion, the emotion of a fifteen-year-old girl who had not yet been polluted by society and was as pure and flawless as a princess.

She cried silently and accused gently and calmly.

"I've made up my mind not to give up no matter what... I'm determined to overcome any setbacks, so please don't use me as an excuse to not move forward... okay?"

"sunflower……"

Taoxiang finally came back to her senses from her bewilderment. Looking at Aoi's tears and listening to her words made Taoxiang feel that this moment was far more uncomfortable than being cursed or beaten.

Many kind people have this common characteristic: it makes them feel better to hurt themselves than to hurt others.

She would rather accept crying secretly when no one is around than accept a perfect little girl crying in front of her.

"Why are you so persistent... We've only just met for a short time, right? We're not exactly on good terms yet, and we often argue..."

"If it's so bad, why is Sister Taoxiang still here?"

Aoi wiped her tears and asked, "If it's so unbearable, why did Momoka-san invite Nina to form this band in the first place..."

"This is because……"

"Momoka-san also said that she really liked Nina's explosive voice, right? And after writing that song, she also expressed her love for the music I create... I think that's why."

"...Is it simply love?"

"That's enough."

Aoi whispered, "I won't talk about big things like my whole life... But I love music and I want to make a difference in this field. I'm really ready and want to give it a try with everyone. No matter what the outcome, I want to give it a try because I know I won't regret it... If I give up now, I'll really regret it."

[Hint: Kawahara Kimoka's favorability increased by +6, and the current favorability is 70.

After hearing what you said, Taoxiang was silent for a long time before she responded. She silently reached out her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of your eyes and admitted to you that her awareness was not as good as yours, a high school student who was only fifteen years old.

As to whether the band will become a professional band, she is not brave enough to give you a clear answer for the time being, but regarding the upcoming confrontation with your grandmother's students, she will fight with all her strength and show her all her strength to your grandmother to show her the charm of the band.

The reason for such a big change in attitude is that she didn't act like a mature adult and evade the question as usual, but instead stroked your tear-stained cheek and told you.

"I'm still selfish... Deep down, I don't want you to leave the band like this."

Chapter 145: He is about to be killed.

Although the band is still not sure whether to go professional, you have finally agreed on your first short-term goal - to win the bet with Tsurukawa Orihime's grandmother, defeat her students, and prove that you and your own dreams are not wrong.

In the following days, you began an intensive band training program, constantly honing your coordination and improving your skills. You also chose the band name 'TOGENASHITOGEARI' by chance.

Rooted in the Kawasaki area, this band was born, consisting of several girls who were confused but wanted to shout out their resistance.

Tip: You are about to enter an important stage of the simulation. Before the confrontational Live begins, you need to make a final settlement of all members' attributes, skills, and favorability, and conduct the last round of personal plot deduction.

The current order of favorability is Subaru Yasuwa (74), Momoka Kawahara (70), Jina Isen (66), Satoshi Ebizuka (54), and RUPA (53).

The favorability will be deduced from low to high. 】

[Due to the increased intensity of training, you almost all took over the use of the recording studio for a whole month. The daily schedule became more and more compact, basically becoming a straight line between going home, working (schooling), and practicing. Practice was often late, and it was not uncommon for everyone to have to stay overnight at Taoxiang's house.

So, at your unanimous suggestion, we all contributed money to rent a less troublesome independent recording studio, and used the storage room of the recording studio to transform it into a bedroom for the training camp. In this way, we all started a one-month band training camp. Although there was no villa, no sea and hot springs, it still made the children headed by Rencai very excited.

In order to prepare some necessities needed for the training camp, you decided to go shopping separately, and daily necessities were assigned to you and RUPA.

Since the items on your list consisted mostly of daily necessities like toiletries, toilet paper, and teacups, you decided to head to the nearby mall to stock up. Although you two had rarely spent any time together in private, Rupa was clearly the most approachable and friendly member of the band. She spoke softly, smiled gently, and engaged you in casual conversation. She possessed far more experience in everyday life than you did.

In this way, the purchasing operation gradually came to an end as you chose various low-cost-effective products without any common sense, and then RUPA patiently explained them to you. Before the end, your eyes were attracted by a furry item in the special offer area.

It was a dark green life-size stuffed bear, almost the same size as Xiaozhi, with a black bow hanging on its chest. It looked like a Senior Brother Shen, cute yet full of a unique sense of elegance.

You usually prefer stuffed animals and have a habit of wanting to cuddle with something before bed, as you'd feel insecure otherwise. During your time away from home, you'd also been accustomed to sleeping with a stuffed animal from Subaru's house, but now that you've moved to the dorm, you've lost that privilege. Furthermore, you haven't felt comfortable asking for much pocket money since you were away, so your budget today is really only enough for these daily necessities.

So you decided to just take a look, but Rupa quickly walked over, gently picked up the life-sized stuffed bear, leaned close to him, gave you a cute smile, and asked you: "Ms. Aoi, do you need this child?"

You quickly declined. Although you really wanted it, you were the reason everyone was now living together and being forced to undergo intensified training, and you felt bad about causing them any more trouble. Rupa smiled at you, hoping you'd accept the teddy bear. After all, she was the only adult on the team, and Momoka often treated everyone to meals. As the oldest sister, she could certainly do something for you, the youngest.

You explained to her that you didn't particularly need the teddy bear, but you sometimes felt insecure at night. By the way, you thought the bear looked like Rupa, so you told her that you wanted to buy it for Rupa after the Live Confrontation had a result.

Hearing this, Rupa just smiled, touched your head and said nothing.

When we got home in the afternoon, after counting the purchased supplies and setting up the training grounds, Rupa took the initiative to put her bed next to yours, or to be more precise, between you and Xiaozhi, and before going to bed, she quietly told you that if you were scared at night, it would be okay to treat her as a teddy bear.

Tip: Rupa's favorability increased by 3, and the current favorability is 56. Obtain Rupa's special personal memory: Knight after dark.

Aoi felt a little drowsy. Looking at the stable and happy daily life in the simulator, her mood became more and more drowsy. She was so relaxed that she almost fell asleep.

To be honest, she felt fortunate that the simulator's favorability setting was not bidirectional, otherwise, according to the plot just now, it should have been her who had the favorability increased.

After playing so many rounds of simulation, this is the first time I have encountered a character like RUPA. Who wouldn’t be confused after hearing this sentence?

Dangerous person! Be more careful in your strategy next time, otherwise, before you can raise Rupa's favorability, Aoi might be the first to fall for him.

[In the upcoming training camp days, you will not only be doing your daily practice, but also because you will need to use more than one song for the performance, and everyone agrees that they do not want to use the 'Empty Box' to participate in the competition, so you have to create a new song in a short period of time.

You don't have to participate in writing this song. Momoka wrote the lyrics and composed the music herself, but the task of arranging the music fell on you and Xiaozhi. During the breaks in practice, you often get together to discuss the arrangement of this new song. Although Rupa specifically told you privately at the beginning that Xiaozhi has a rather awkward personality and may have a conflict with you because of something, nothing like this seems to have happened.

Until one day, you had a small dispute over the arrangement of the chorus. The main instrument for that part was the guitar. Since both of you had studied music since childhood and had your own research on music theory, you had a difference of opinion.

However, the strange thing is that when you tried to use reason to persuade Xiaozhi to adopt your opinion, she gave in on her own initiative, frowned as if she remembered something bad, and agreed with your opinion with a frustrated look. You noticed that her mood seemed to be a little wrong, so you specifically questioned her, but she ended up rejecting you impatiently.

After seeing her attitude, you realized that Xiaozhi might have something on her mind, and spent some free time to make two versions that the two of you disagreed on. At the end of the practice, you privately pulled her aside, played the different versions you made for her, and told her that you still hoped she could analyze the best version with you from a musician's perspective.

Naturally, Xiaozhi still preferred her own choice, but for some reason, you could sense that this argument seemed to have gradually relaxed her...

Tip: Ebizuka Satoshi's favorability +2, currently 56. 】

Aoi also gradually felt herself relaxing.

Perhaps the plot in the simulator was too dull, her eyelids seemed to be constantly fighting, becoming heavier and heavier, and then gradually closed subconsciously.
