In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Even the loyal fans of his band, even Kita who was invited by him to watch his performance, and even the other members of his band, were all immersed in the performance at that moment.

Even the young girls themselves knew how big the gap was between their band and the musicians wearing skull masks on the stage.

After all, in all eight of their performances, the audience in the audience had never been as immersed in the music as they are now.

They have a full band with a lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, vocalist, keyboardist, and drummer, but the performance is not as good as that of a single guitarist.

"I don't find playing in a band fun at all."

It’s better not to drop out of school to join a band. The young girl was torn between gains and losses and gave up her previous idea.

After the performance, the man wearing the skull mask said nothing, but just walked backstage with his guitar, ignoring the crazy shouts of the audience behind him for another performance.

Chen Xinghua pressed the skull mask on his face.

This mask can't come off now...at least not until the band is completely successful or completely unsuccessful.

There are still a few live shows scheduled to catch up.

However, speaking of it, there are more and more girl bands performing recently. Among the nine newly formed bands, ten are girl bands.

There are also many specialized commercial bands among them.

Is this the so-called era of big girl bands?

Chen Xinghua carefully put the guitar into the guitar bag because the guitar was quite expensive.

"Please come and hold a live show next time. I can pay for you..." The store manager stood guard at the door and whispered to Chen Xinghua to comfort him.

"Look at the time." Chen Xinghua pretended to speak in a hoarse voice, walked around the store manager who was begging him, and went to the exhibition hall outside.

At this time, it was the turn of the girl band that had previously talked a lot about the topic of dropping out of school to perform.

"Hello everyone, we have performed here eight times before..." the young girl said tremblingly.

Because although the audience in the audience was very polite and did not shout or want the person wearing a skull mask who had played heavy metal music to come back on stage.

But their interest inevitably declined, which added a lot of pressure to the young girls.

They didn't want to hear our band, they just wanted to hear that guy.

"The...North Star Band."

The young girl wondered if she had done something wrong and whether she should not be in a band.

I want to cry.

The young girl lowered her head, allowing her tiny tears to flow from her eyes without anyone seeing.

"Let's start playing and bring you the best performance experience."

Chen Xinghua, who was in the audience, listened to the rhythmic mistakes of the girls in the band on the stage, and he knew in his heart that it was all because of him.

If his performance had not put such great pressure on these girls in the band, their performance would never have been so full of mistakes as it is now, and would have been worse than that of a novice band that had just practiced for a month.

"But I have no regrets." Chen Xinghua said in a voice that only he could hear.

I felt like the big boss in some villainous game, cruelly crushing the dreams of some young girls.

"Haha." Chen Xinghua laughed softly, but this is the reality.

With no talent, no background, no strength, no luck, and no money, can a girl build a band with just her passion and a head full of dreams?

Chen Xinghua turned around and walked out of the live house with his back to the camera. It was time to go to the next live house.

"Wait a minute." A strange girl's voice sounded behind Chen Xinghua.

"Who are you?" Chen Xinghua tilted his head and looked at the energetic red-haired girl in front of him, his voice becoming a little hoarse.

"The performance order you wrote on the program just now should be after Sarabi," Kita said.

"Who is Zuo Li?" Chen Xinghua said in an unusually hoarse voice.

"That's the girl who was playing on the stage just now." Kita responded, "She was so upset by you that she almost cried."

"So? Are you here to cause trouble?" Chen Xinghua reached into his guitar bag and took out a baseball bat and a pepper spray.

"Wait a minute, I'm not here to cause trouble." Xiduo was a little surprised when he saw the magical tool in Chen Xinghua's hand.

"What kind of guitarist would stuff baseball bats and pepper spray into their guitar bag?"

23. I am a feminist

"Now you will see it." Chen Xinghua held the baseball bat and swung it vigorously in the air, making loud sounds of breaking through the air.

"Wait a minute, I'm not here to cause trouble. Put down the baseball bat." Kita quickly waved her hand downwards. "...Besides, you see, I'm just an ordinary, skinny high school girl."

"No matter how you think about it, it's impossible for me to come and pick a fight with you."

"I'm a feminist." Chen Xinghua placed the baseball bat against the back of his neck. "Girls can still be suspicious and dangerous."

It's too rock 'n' roll, Xiduo complained in his mind.

"If nothing else, I have to rush to my next live show." Chen Xinghua lowered his body to prevent the red-haired guy from suddenly coming up and knocking him to the ground.

As he said, he is a feminist and will not let down his guard around girls.

From a certain perspective, weak girls are more dangerous than boys because they can make people let down their guard and expose their weaknesses to them.

....and then he was killed with one blow from this weak girl.

Because humans are very fragile creatures.

Whether it's a full-strength blow from a sturdy boy or a full-strength blow from a weak girl, as long as it hits the vital part, it can kill the person.

"I just want to ask, why did you move your performance order forward?" Kita felt more and more speechless.

This man wearing a skull mask is more than half a head taller than me. Why would he be worried that I would attack him?

"It was a spur-of-the-moment decision." Chen Xinghua looked at Xiduo and silently retreated.

"Don't go...Why do you want to trample on other people's dreams." Xiduo strode forward and grabbed Chen Xinghua's sleeve.

"If this is just a spur-of-the-moment decision, there's no need to bribe the store manager."

"Tsk, what a guy with no professional ethics." Chen Xinghua pulled the hand that was grabbed by Xiduo away and broke free from Xiduo's restraint.

"To spread this news so quickly...it's been less than an hour."

"I agree with you that the manager has no professional ethics." Kita took a deep breath. She remembered clearly the scene when she went to ask the manager of the live house after realizing that the performance order was wrong.

That woman...that woman actually wanted me to give her money before she would tell the truth.

This is my pocket money for the whole month ahead.

"The point of the discussion now is not this, but why you trampled on the dreams of Zuo Li and the others."

"I'm very busy." Chen Xinghua sighed.

"Do you think I'm trampling on other people's dreams?"

"Isn't it?" Kita asked back.

As a qualified Japanese high school girl, Kita is well-read.

For example, for popular light novels like "I Traveled to Another World and Discovered that the Rice I Ate in My Previous Life Was a Sacred Object That Could Increase My Magical Powers", she would rush to the bookstore and buy three copies of the latest volume as soon as it came out.

One for reading, one for collection, and one for preaching.

"He used his crushing guitar skills to steal the spotlight from the entire stage and crushed Sari's band to pieces."

Just like in the book "I Traveled to Another World and Discovered that the Rice I Ate in Previous Life Was a Sacred Relic That Could Increase Magical Powers", there is a villain who, after seeing the talented protagonist, decides to use his overwhelming strength to make the protagonist lose confidence in magic and return to the countryside to be a farmer for the rest of his life.

The result was naturally that he was slapped in the face by the protagonist.

"Isn't this your purpose?"

"Saori and the others put a lot of effort into today's live. They practice together in the music studio every day after school, and work part-time at Yoshinoya on weekends to pay for their sales..."

"If their dreams are as fragile as glass, then let me trample them down." Chen Xinghua interrupted Xiduo's voice.

Admitted it. Xiduo was a little surprised. Normally speaking, shouldn't he have tried to refuse a few more times at this time?

"If you can't even withstand this level of hardship, you'd better go back to school and don't even think about dropping out to play in a band." Chen Xinghua took a few steps back.

"The real music scene is even more cruel than this."

"Ah?" Kita stood there in a daze. She had never heard from Sarai that they dropped out of school to form a band.

"Wait, Saori and the others are going to drop out of school to form a band?"

Isn't it true that with her current deviation value, Zuo Li can get into Houbun University?

Why drop out of school.

"Don't you know what your friend is planning?" Chen Xinghua gripped the baseball bat. "Why don't you ask your friend? She's right behind you."

The person behind this red-haired guy should be Saori.

The red-haired guy just now was talking about "Zori's band", so Zoro is the captain of this band.

At this moment, the girl hiding behind the red-haired man looked almost exactly like the band leader who had just spoken on the stage.

Kita looked back, and only then did Sasori's gaze appear in his yellow pupils.

"Zori, are you okay?"

Kita grabbed Sari's wrist.

At this moment, there was some madness in Zuo Li's red pupils.

"Just because we want to drop out of school and start a band, you're going to crush our dreams?"

Exactly like my parents.

In a trance, Zuo Li felt that Chen Xinghua's figure overlapped with the figures of his parents.

"Do you think academic qualifications are important, Zuo Li?" Chen Xinghua did not respond to Zuo Li's words, but changed the subject.

Then Chen Xinghua started answering on his own.

"It's not important, it's very important."

It is a lie that Japan does not value academic qualifications.

On the contrary, Japan attaches great importance to academic qualifications.

"Police officers graduating from the University of Tokyo are assigned to the National Police Agency right after graduation. The speed of promotion is even more terrifying. They start as cadets and can become inspector generals in three months."

"Ninety-nine percent of this country's senior police officers are graduates of the University of Tokyo, even though their number does not exceed 500 among the 300,000 police force."

"People without a degree who want to become police officers can only start as patrol officers. Their ceiling is already set, and they can only reach the rank of inspector."

“This is just the starting point for Todai graduates.”

I am becoming more and more like an adult.

As long as adults will tell children to consider their own future, put aside their dreams and do something better for their future.

Children will say that as long as you have a dream in your heart, you will definitely succeed.

What a joke! If this were true, the world would be full of astronauts, scientists, and musicians.

How could there be ordinary people who are just mediocre?...No one wants to be an ordinary person from the beginning.

24. Don’t overthink it

"But I have a dream." Saori cried and said the same lines as the heroine in a hot-blooded youth comic.

"Dreams are the least valuable things in this world." Chen Xinghua snorted.

"As long as you persevere, you will definitely be able to realize your dreams. This world doesn't have such a good logic."

Kita helped Sarai wipe away her tears.

"That's too much."

"But this is reality." Chen Xinghua looked down at the horror-style watch on his wrist. Even if he delayed here for a few more minutes, he should be able to catch up with the other live shows.

"Cruel sir," Kita whispered.

"Hey, Zuo Li, do you have the courage to shoulder the responsibility of other people's lives?" Chen Xinghua tilted his head and said, "Taking band members drop out of school to form a band means shouldering their lives."
