My Romance Simulation with Them

Not to mention expressing one's thoughts in front of everyone, like now.

They couldn't help but think of Nanxiang.

This young man seems to possess a special ability to change others...

So, the problem is brought back to square one.

accept?

Still, you won't accept it?

Just as others were about to express their thoughts, a voice rang out.

"There's nothing to worry about. I didn't actually compose this piece."

Everyone turned around and saw that Nanxiang Shi had already come down from upstairs with a tray of food.

Distribute everyone's plates to their designated places.

Nanxiang then continued, "As I mentioned before, this piece was written by several of my childhood friends, but they are no longer in this world."

"Before they left this world, they also asked me to find a band that would be suitable for this song."

Nanxiang seemed lost in memories:

"I only became slightly interested in music because of them. For me, this piece is not only a memory of my friends, but also has the meaning of entrusting it to someone I can entrust it to."

At this point, he smiled and said, "I think the band's style is very suitable for this song. Don't you all think so?"

"That's true."

Yamada Ryo didn't feign modesty; he simply nodded.

The song "I Don't Want to Die Alone" is indeed very suitable for ending the band.

To be honest, when she saw this song, she even wondered if there was another version of herself in the world.

Because she felt that only another version of herself could write a song with such a familiar style, suitable for ending the band.

"But..."

Ichi Nijika still felt something was off.

"Take it and use it."

Nanxiang waved his hand.

"I Don't Want to Die Alone" is itself a song that marks the end of the band—even in a simulation, even in the future, the end of the band will still be the same.

Nanxiang was unwilling to use their songs to make herself famous—that would be too despicable.

"Alright... since Nango-san has said so..."

After hearing Nango's explanation, Ichiji Nijika nodded, even though she felt it sounded like something the other person had just made up on the spot.

but--

"Now that I have accepted Nango-san's music, out of respect for Nango-san, I also hope that Nango-san can grant me a request."

"ask?"

"Ah."

Looking at Nango's face, Iji Chinika pondered for a moment before speaking: "I hope Nango-san can become a support member for the end of the band."

"Uh..."

Support members...?

This unexpected turn of events surprised Nango Toki somewhat.

Chapter 90. A Few Things About Chizuku's Heart Treatment (4200 words!)

The so-called support members are actually off-site staff who are not official members of the band but come to lend a hand when the band needs them.

Ichi Nijika probably realized that Nango Toki didn't want to join the End Band, so she came up with this solution.

In this way, the public could say that "I Don't Want to Die Alone" was written and composed by him, a support member—which would preserve the rights of Nango Toki, the 'original creator,' to the greatest extent possible.

Upon hearing this, Nango Toki couldn't help but glance at Ichiji Nijika again.

He clearly hadn't expected things to develop this way.

Moreover, it seems that if I don't accept this proposal, Ichiji Nijika probably won't accept the song "I Don't Want to Die Alone" either.

Nanxiang shook his head.

As expected of the character who was called an 'archangel' in various crazy posts on Tieba and Bilibili in his previous life, Ijichi Nijika truly felt the things she cared about for him.

With that in mind, Nanxiang Shi didn't hesitate any longer and simply nodded: "Okay."

"Great."

Ichi Nijika, who had been a little nervous, immediately relaxed.

Having finally received Nango Toki's consent, she and Kita Ikuyo cheered together.

When Yamada Ryo, who was standing next to him, heard that Nango had agreed, he was also somewhat tempted.

This woman was even considering whether to use her 'senior status' to squeeze some money out of Nango, the junior who had just joined the band.

Meanwhile, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but steal a few more glances at Nango Toki.

Although he was just a support member.

But does this mean that she and Nango Toki... will have more time to spend together in the future?

Should...it should be okay, right?

I'm a senior, you know! It's only natural that I let Ah Shi keep me company while he comes in, using my senior privileges, right?!

Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri, whose delicate and pretty face was only partially visible beneath her bangs, couldn't help but giggle foolishly.

Nango Toki was actually unaware that two women had begun to fantasize about using non-existent 'senior privileges' to make a quick buck here.

But even if he knew, he would probably just laugh it off.

After all, in his view, he was at most just a support member, and there was no need to follow any senior-junior relationship.

It's like having your name listed after the band ends, without having to pay the venue fee like Ichiri Goto did.

Since it wouldn't affect him much anyway, he simply agreed.

Moreover, having a name attached to the band at the end... actually had some benefits for Nango.

He looked at the four girls who had finished their band performance.

Although they are still quite green on the path of rock music.

However, this is not the case in simulations.

Goto Ichiri will become Japan's premier guitar queen in the future, and guitars that have been handled and used by this melancholic girl will sell even better in the same season.

Ryo Yamada is a true, aloof bass genius. People of all ages are captivated by her elegant, languid androgynous appearance and her superb bass skills.

As for Kita Ikuyo and Iji Chikatsu.

Needless to say, these two are even more obvious.

The drummer and lead singer's presence is indelible in the band.

As the social butterflies at the core of the team, one of them is a future drum queen, and the other is a lead singer known for her exceptional talent and guitar skills—both have graced the cover of long-established music magazines like "ROCK IN JAPAN."

It has to be said that even in simulations, the Japanese still love to give others meaningless and childish nicknames.

But these nicknames also reveal that the End of the Future band held a dominant position at the top of the Japanese pop music scene—not just anyone is qualified to be called the 'Queen of Rock'.

Given the band's popularity at that time, there were countless people who wanted to be their support members.

Taking advantage of their youth, Nanxiang Shi managed to get the band officially registered after the band ended, which can actually be considered a great bargain.

Even if you're not a full member, there are many benefits to being a support member.

Before that—

"Now that I'm a support member of the End Band, shouldn't I also have the right to post videos on the End Band's video account?"

Nanxiang looked up and asked without hesitation.

Yes.

Monetizing online videos is something he has always wanted to do.

They bought a small refrigerator, and he also had a habit of buying books, so the little savings he had accumulated before had long been used up.

Now, after checking his entire body, he only has a paltry 30,000 yen to live on.

With 30,000 yen, given Japanese prices, one could survive until the end of the month by eating frugally if it were mid-month.

But it's only the beginning of June.

If he can't monetize his online videos soon, Nango Toki reckons that by the end of the month he'll really have to follow Yamada Ryo's example and start digging for wild vegetables to eat. (The original manga depicts Yamada Ryo digging for wild vegetables.)

Before that, he had to put his first submission online.

The band that just finished their performance should now have their own video account.

So, it's only natural for me, as a support member, to just use their accounts, right?

Moreover, if their popularity gradually increases later on, they might be able to boost their own video revenue.

If his online submissions really don't work out, he can accept the part-time job offer from Ichiji Hoshika.

Nanxiang was very shrewd and knew exactly how to manage his finances, so he didn't have to worry about starving.

As for Nango Toki's 'reasonable request,' Ichichi Nijika, as the one who ended the band, naturally didn't notice anything wrong with it.

After all, the current End Band is completely different from the one that was universally popular in the simulation.

They currently have only a handful of followers online—all of whom are members of the 'Starry Night' performance hall.

Furthermore, because Kita Yuyo is fond of makeup and skincare and likes to share with others, she often uploads makeup tutorials and videos to their accounts.

This makes the entire band channel seem less like a band and more like a beauty blogger's account.

It's a good thing that people from Nanxiang can submit their videos to it.
