You are Toyokawa Shoko, then who am I?

The corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Then, when she realized that she was actually complacent because of the praise from someone who seemed to be Toyokawa Shoko's brother, her figure suddenly turned into burnt white ash and slowly dissipated -

Haha.

Why am I so happy?

This life has been lived in vain.

After commenting on the two people, Tsuzuki Poetry Ship made a summary.

"Overall, I'm still not satisfied with your performance. Besides starting off strong but ending weakly, more importantly, you didn't give it your all. Since you're going to work in my shop, you must always give your all. Only people like this deserve the audience's love and the customers' money."

After saying this, Tsuzuki Poetry Ship paused.

The old woman looked much more terrifying when she was silent than when she was speaking, and she was even more frightening.

Shiina Riki bit his lower lip lightly, and clenched his hands tightly, which were weak from playing the drums, with an expression of indescribable frustration.

She raised her head and looked apologetically at Toyokawa Sho beside her.

It was all her fault. If she hadn't made the mistake in the end, Toyokawa Sho wouldn't have suffered the failure of the performance along with her.

Toyokawa Sho looked confused. Why are you looking at me like that?

Could it be that this silly kid really has no social experience at all? The boss was trying to first suppress him and then praise him, and he couldn't even see that?

isn't it...

Are you really this stupid, Lixi...

Toyokawa Sho patted Shiina Riki's shoulder with pity.

Lao Xi, I don’t blame you for having no impression of me. It is indeed a bit difficult for you to have high expectations of you.

Shiina Riki didn't understand Toyokawa Sho's true thoughts and thought he was comforting her, and her mood suddenly became even more depressed.

I actually dragged such a considerate person into this...

It's really bad...

Tsuzuki Shifune silently observed the changes in the expressions of the two people and found that they actually cooperated and showed sad expressions.

Young people nowadays are so gullible.

She couldn't help but think so, and then she declared the interview a success just as Toyokawa Sho said.

“But, despite many flaws, your performance just now really made me see your talent.

"Unlike those students who are just lazing around and pursuing youthful fantasies, you are undoubtedly professionals. I can hear from your voices the time you have invested in your instruments. So, welcome to RiNG."

Tsuzuki Shisen rarely smiled.

"From today on, you two can call me boss."

Eh?

Eh? ?

Eh--! ! !

The unexpected ending turned into ecstasy and poured into Shiina Riki's body.

She actually passed the interview and got a job working under that Tsuzuki Shifune!?

"Hey, hey! Did you hear it just now? That Tsuzuki Shifune said we passed!" Shiina Riki excitedly grabbed Toyokawa Sho's wrist.

"... Mr. Shiina, could you please stop calling me 'hey, hey, hey' all the time? After all, I'm your guitarist and you've played with me once. Please at least call me by my last name." Toyokawa Sho turned his head away.

"Ah... uh... sorry," Shiina Riki realized that he was indeed a bit rude, so he changed the subject uncomfortably, "Um, uh... Toyokawa-san?"

"Yes." Toyokawa Sho quickly turned around, a cheerful smile on his face again, "You're not dreaming. The boss did just say he wants to hire us."

"...!!"

Shiina Riki's chest rose and fell slightly. If she hadn't considered that there were two living people here, she really wanted to shake her arms vigorously to celebrate her success.

Get reviews of Tsuzuki Poetry Ship.

He even worked under Tsuzuki Shifune.

That's something that older sister couldn't do!

Ah, my older sister is the head of the wind section, which belongs to the orchestra, so she has nothing to do with rock music...

Ok……

Eh!

Just tell me, is this something that even your sister couldn’t do?

Shiina Riki was in a rare state of excitement.

"You two, it's too early to be happy."

Tsuzuki Shisen drank a sip of warm tea and then poured a basin of cold water on it.

"A successful interview is just the beginning. The most important thing is whether you can do the job well and whether you have a good position. As I said before, you two are students. You can't work full-time like adults—"

"Boss, I can do it." Toyokawa Sho raised his hand. He didn't even have an ID card now, so he really didn't need to go to school.

"...You dropped out of school?"

These words were like a bolt from the blue to Tsuzuki Shichuan's ears.

Such a talented child is not in school?

What about his parents?

Has your brain been caught in the door?

No matter how much you squander natural resources, there must be a limit!

No, such a promising young talent cannot be wasted like this. I am counting on him to help me take care of Lenai. No matter what, I must let him get on the right track and go to school well!

"Go back to school. If you don't, I'll break your legs. If your parents won't let you, I'll send them to the hospital. Leave your contact number. I'll talk to you about this in a few days."

Behind Tsuzuki Shichuan, the Dharma world seemed to appear again, and his serious tone was even more terrifying than the knife against his neck.

Toyokawa Sho opened his mouth slightly, his expression frozen. He didn't expect Tsuzuki Shifune to have such a big reaction to his affairs.

Because of his parents, he has always been accustomed to living alone.

To have an elder stand up and show concern for him like this...even though the tone was stern, it still made him feel a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Facing Shiina Riki's concerned look when she turned her head back, he quickly looked away, hiding his weak look.

He forced a solid smile on his face, making sure there wasn't a single mistake, and then he returned to his original appearance as if he was wearing a titanium exoskeleton.

Shiina Riki silently looked at the boy beside him who once again put on a social mask.

The other person's fleeting expression of vulnerability.

It was like it was seared into her memory.

It made her dazed.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. I currently have two positions in charge of the cafe area. This is the easiest job in the entire RiNG. Most of the time, I just need to greet customers. The salary is calculated on a monthly basis, not an hourly wage. I will make 30 yuan a month. Since I'm a staff member, I can also use Ring's practice room and musical instruments for free."

(□: 30 yen is about yen)

Tsuzuki Shisen looked at the two of them with interest.

"How about it, do you want to be one?"

"...I really want to." Shiina Riki was quite tempted, mainly because he was moved by the condition that he could try the recording studio for free.

"I want to, I want to, nine out of ten! Your fame is known to everyone from Tokyo to Osaka. In this lead-colored city where people are used to exploiting cattle and horses, only your monthly salary can bring me a little warmth!

"Oh, Captain, my Captain, I would sacrifice everything for this job. I will be your whip, your sword. I desire nothing but the one thing in your hand."

But Toyokawa Sho is very simple.

He was simply blinded by money.

Even his eyes had turned into two glittering golden coins, his voice was as exaggerated and passionate as an actor's, and his clean and handsome face was filled with endless greed.

30w……!

30 yuan a month...!

He used to work in customer service and only earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a month working hard. If that dark history knew about this, wouldn't she be envious to death?

When he thought about being able to show off in front of someone, and saw her biting her back teeth with reluctance but envy, Toyokawa Sho's mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Just want it."

Tsuzuki Shisen nodded with satisfaction.

Toyokawa Sho and Shiina Tatsuki are the most suitable group she has met so far.

To what extent?

She felt that she could start the [grandchild care plan] that she had been planning for a long time.

The reason why she offered a salary that was completely beyond the reach of a temporary worker was that she would later prepare to deal with the issue of Toyokawa Sho not attending school.

All in all.

All for the blueprint in her mind.

Tsuzuki Shichuan suppressed his smile, and a gleam of light seemed to flash in his turbid and old eyes.

The ensemble performance of these two children is already outstanding among their peers.

Even though the drummer is still a little immature, he can perform at 200% as long as the guitarist follows his lead.

And if Lenai could hear the performance of these two children once, perhaps it would help her get out of the shadow of SPACE and cheer up again.

It was my fault as a grandmother at the beginning.

I was only concerned about her future and didn't take her feelings into consideration.

I didn't want her to play guitar at SPACE for the rest of her life, which would limit her talent and future. So I decided to shut down SPACE to help her grow, and tell her that "SPACE is just a passing place, and her true destiny must be found by herself."

Come to think of it, she was only twelve years old at the time.

All I have in my head is guitar and matcha, so how can I think about so many things in the future?

Even if I was doing it for her own good, it was hard for her to understand that she used to be such a guitar-loving kid, but now she had wasted two whole years because of SPACE's closure...

Lenai, I'm sorry.

There are some things I can't say to you.

I can't admit in front of you that my grandmother's education was too cruel, and I can't tell you that my grandmother didn't take your feelings into consideration.

The only thing I can do for you.

I just use other roundabout ways to express my apology.

Then pull you, this troublesome stupid granddaughter, off the cliff of self-exile.

"Tomorrow at this time, I want you to play together again. This time there will be no time limit, and no improvisation. I only ask that you give it your all. You can come to the store ahead of time to practice until I come into the room."

"If you can give a wonderful performance, I will assign you to the cafe and let you do the easiest work. Otherwise, you will be like other ordinary shop assistants, filling in wherever there is a shortage of people.

"Do you understand? Let me repeat, I only have one request, and that is that I want to see you give your all. As long as you try your best, regardless of whether the performance is good or bad, I will consider you a success."

Done.

Tsuzuki Shifune left the room, told the store manager Rinrinko about the relevant arrangements, and then looked out the window.

Everything is ready.

All we lack is tomorrow’s east wind.

Tsuzuki style!

Start the formation!

ps: Hahahaha, haha ...

Well, because the data was rising at a high intensity for some reason yesterday, it was very difficult to close the first chapter at this juncture. Now that it’s released, everything is fine, and my heart has returned to peace...1
