Onmyoji who mingles in the world of anime

Although we can no longer perform as school idols, we can still be amateur idols.

After listening, Tsuchimikado Fuyu pondered and said, "I think I understand what you mean, but won't you regret it? You can no longer participate in school idol activities under the name of Muse."

"I have no regrets, because our muse is truly our muse, and we have already achieved our goal of establishing Muse. Let's leave the rest of the campus activities to the younger generation," Honoka Kousaka said happily.

"OK, I can build the stage you want, but in return, I can't let you use it for free."

"How much do you want?" Maki Nishikino asked.

“It’s not about money,” Tsuchimikado Fuyu shook his head and said, “I have a suggestion.”

"What suggestion?" Seeing Tsuchimikado Fuyu's smiling face, Sonoda Umi instinctively felt something was wrong and asked nervously.

"I will design this virtual stage as an independent world and establish a company to operate this idol world."

On the idol world stage, you can use any lighting effects you can imagine, and even various special effects. You can also design your own costumes and upload them to the game.

However, in return, you will either need to join my agency, or you can set up your own agency and then sign a contract with the company that operates this idol world in the name of your agency.

Of course, signing the contract is only the first step. Next, the company will manage your team in all aspects, from selling in-game tickets and live streaming rewards to selling merchandise in real life.

Aside from not forcing you to participate in various idol activities, which are mainly arranged by you yourselves.

The rest will be operated according to the professional idol model, and the revenue will be divided among different levels of contracts based on your popularity, with you receiving 50% to 90% of the earnings.

Tsuchimikado Fuyutsu gave a detailed account of his entire plan, and everyone reacted in different ways.

After he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.

After all, they never thought about all that at the beginning. Their original intention was just to continue their idol activities, and they never thought about debuting as idols!

Especially people like Maki Nishikino and Umi Sonoda, they definitely don't plan to debut as idols in the future, and they have their own plans for their future.

"Can we discuss this?" Minami Kotori asked softly, looking at the group of people who were deep in thought.

"Of course!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiled and rubbed her little head, saying, "This plan isn't just for you guys; I'll ask Coco and the others about it later too."

The little bird's suggestion really inspired me; a fully immersive game paired with virtual idols is a perfect combination.

Furthermore, whether you're holding concerts or fan meetings, you can do it all within the game, greatly shortening the distance between yourself and your fans.

The others nodded in agreement; Tsuchimikado Fuyu was right about that.

After all, how many people can a concert actually hold in reality?

Especially for campus idols like them, apart from participating in competitions, the stage for their concerts is just the school's auditorium.

It's different in the game. As long as someone likes them, no matter how many people come, they can watch the performance "live".

Minami Kotori and the others huddled together and discussed quietly for a long time. Then, Sonoda Umi was the first to speak up: "If we join Fuyu-kun's company, will it really not interfere with our daily activities?"

"No way! Aren't I the tenth member of Muse? How could I possibly cheat you?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile. "These terms can all be written into the contract."

If there are any large events, the company will invite you; you can choose to attend or not.

"Fuyu-kun, do people actually watch concerts in the game? What's the difference between that and watching a video?" Eri Ayase asked doubtfully.

"The difference... well, how should I put it!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu scratched his head and said, "It depends on your own understanding, but the characters in the game are still designed based on your own appearance, so there's basically no big difference."

However, unlike real-life performances, the stages in the game are incredibly beautiful. For example, when you sing a song about snow, you can transform the stage into a winter wonderland, covered in silver and with snow falling heavily.

I'm absolutely certain that as long as your performance is excellent and the songs are catchy, there will be plenty of audience members coming to see the show.

"Do we need to follow all sorts of rules like professional idols? Like not being allowed to date or something..." Minami Kotori blushed and looked cautiously at Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

"No need," Tsuchimikado Tou said with a shrug. "As long as you're not worried about having too many fans and it affecting your daily lives, that's fine. But even if that happens, don't worry, the company will help you resolve it."

Others asked many more questions, which Tsuchimikado Fuyu answered one by one.

Through their question-and-answer session, what was initially just a rough plan was gradually filled in and perfected.

Next, Tsuchimikado Fuyu organized the virtual idol plan and sent it to Kurahashi Kyoko, asking her to check if there were any problems. If there were no problems, the plan could be implemented.

Minami Kotori and the others haven't signed a contract yet, since the game hasn't been made and the company hasn't been established. Signing a contract can wait.

Anyway, with Maki Nishikino around, they'll hire a lawyer to help review the contract.

However, it wasn't that they didn't trust Tsuchimikado Fuyu; to be precise, it was Tsuchimikado Fuyu who asked them to do so, just to put their minds at ease.

After all, he was just helping Honoka and the others out of friendship, and also to further develop his virtual idol project.

As for their future, that's not important. They just need to be happy. The same goes for Tang Keke and the others later on.

As for making money, aren't there other independent idol groups?

Those teams certainly don't get the same treatment as them. While they're not exactly rip-offs, they're still trained and signed like real-life professional idol teams.

Chapter 1441 A Date with Rikka

Over the next week, Honoka Kousaka and her friends tried every possible way to invite the school idols who participated in this year's National Idol Project.

Post notices online, invite people by phone, and visit as many people as possible in the surrounding area in person.

During this period, they also encountered many problems, such as having to compete with them and beat them before agreeing, or having to write songs that satisfied them before agreeing, and all sorts of other situations.

Overall, the invitation went relatively smoothly.

After all, most school idol groups are facing the problem of disbanding or reorganizing. After hearing about Honoka Kousaka and the others' plan, everyone expressed great interest and wanted to do something big together.

As for Tsuchimikado Fuyu's virtual idol project, Honoka and the others would casually mention it when they invited them, but they had no idea how the others reacted.

Anyway, once Tsuchimikado Fuyu comes out with the game, he'll promote it online. Right now, we're just giving them time to think and discuss it.

Among so many college idols, there must be some who want to pursue a career as a professional idol.

……

Time flies and it's already next Saturday.

Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Rikka set off from home early in the morning for Tokyo, ready to begin their date this week.

Although Rikka has accepted the relationship between Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Touka, Touka has not moved in.

It wasn't that she felt embarrassed, but rather that it was inconvenient for work.

If it were any other profession, it wouldn't matter, but as the head chef of the Starry Sky Group, she has to start work much earlier than others every day.

When Junming Ziyue and the others set off in the morning, Shihua was already in the company cafeteria with the other chefs preparing breakfast for everyone.

Fortunately, although the work is very hard, they have a lot of time off.

The Starry Sky Group's canteen operates on a shift system, with two teams taking turns to be in charge for one day.

That means working one day and resting one day, which is something to be envied.

However, although there is a lot of rest time, working is really hard.

After all, they are responsible for the meals of all the employees at the group's headquarters. The headquarters canteen has three floors, serving thousands of people three meals a day, and the meals must include more than fifteen different dishes, which is quite difficult.

So, for the convenience of commuting to work, Shihua still lives in the villa and drives her little van to and from get off work every day.

However, she would occasionally go to the manor on her days off on weekends. As for weekdays, at most, Tsuchimikado Tou would occasionally go to the villa to keep her company for one evening after school.

……

"Winter! I sense demonic energy from hell!" In Akihabara, Rikka suddenly shielded Tsuchimikado Fuyu behind her, striking a chuunibyou pose and speaking with a wary expression.

"Demonic energy?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked around in confusion, but didn't find anything unusual.

"You're not talking about that place, are you?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu asked suspiciously, pointing to a small takoyaki shop not far away.

“No! They’re the enemy,” Rikka said, shaking her head.

“The enemy…” Tsuchimikado Fuyu scratched his head. Could it be referring to chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

But if it's about chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), then there's a lot of it here!

After all, this is Akihabara. There aren't many other types, but there are countless otaku and chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) sufferers. Who knows which one Rikka is targeting?

So Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't bother asking her anymore and simply played along, saying, "So what are you planning to do? Go to war with them?"

But to everyone's surprise, Rikka shook her head and said, "No, the Evil King's True Eye never bullies the weak."

"Shall we continue our search for the key to destiny?"

“Okay, I’ve found a clue.” Rikka nodded and said seriously.

That's right, Tsuchimikado Fuyu's original date plan was to go shopping and watch a movie, which were normal date activities.

But unexpectedly, after arriving in Tokyo, Rikka suddenly suggested that she wanted to find some "key to destiny", so she took him to Akihabara.

However, Akihabara is still a great place for a date.

For example, the two of them went to various claw machine stores, experienced all kinds of bizarre claw machines, tried gashapon toys, and visited various toy stores that sell strange and unusual toys.

They even encountered many acquaintances, such as Minos and Pekora who made money by carrying bricks, and the little evil god who lost all his pocket money and wanted to "borrow" money from Tsuchimikado Fuyu.

Of course, Tsuchimikado Fuyu refused outright. This scumbag was definitely planning to borrow and not repay. Even if he didn't care about the money, he didn't want to be swindled by this scumbag.

Because that would make me look stupid and dull!

Tsuchimikado Fuyu didn't mean to mock Medusa, after all, Medusa's situation was different; she was an "angel."

Later, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and his friends met the Yusa and Koji sisters who sold ice cream, and then they met Hanazono Yuri Rin, who introduced them to a zombie that had escaped from the Non-Human City.

I have to say, Tokyo is really small. In just one hour, I encountered everyone except Medusa, who was working in the Demon World.

Overall, however, they seemed to have a lot of fun.

Unfortunately, they couldn't find what Rikka wanted.

However, Rikka doesn't explain it clearly, only saying that it's a choice of fate, and that as long as you go looking, you will definitely find it!

So Tsuchimikado Fuyu simply went along with her wishes and accompanied her out to play.

Anyway, it's just a date! In Tsuchimikado Fuyu's opinion, the process isn't important; what matters most is that both parties are happy!

As for romance, everyone has their own kind of romance, and it can't be generalized. You are not a fish, so how can you know the joy of a fish?

For Rikka, the most romantic thing is that Tsuchimikado Tou is willing to gossip with her.

"Found it!" Suddenly, as they passed a jewelry store, Rikka's eyes lit up and she exclaimed excitedly.

"Oh? What is it?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu looked over curiously, but before he could see clearly, Rikka pulled him into the jewelry store.

Entering the jewelry store, Rikka went straight to the counter by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, pointed to a silver necklace with a black tree design, and said:

"I want this!" *2
