"How's Kita-san's band doing now?"

"This."

Kita rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and said with a smile, "Compared to Sakura-san, I'm far behind. In such a long time, I've only had two 'Lives' and the audiences combined weren't even 40 people."

It sounds like a failure, but this is the norm for high school bands. Sakura's situation can only be considered an unexpected surprise.

So, no one meant to look down on her.

"Popularity is accumulated slowly, Kita-san, don't get discouraged."

After receiving Sakura's comfort, Kita, who had just been a little discouraged, immediately cheered up.

"Yeah! I'll try my best!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kita suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, Sakura-san, could you expand your merchandise sales to include the exhibition hall where I work? The store manager said he'd like to collaborate with you."

Yingliang thought about it, isn't the exhibition hall where Kita is the [Stars]?

The store run by Shimokitazawa Archangel Ichichi Nihongka's sister - Ichichi Hoshika.

Although it is a bit small, the flow of people is not small.

Besides, making money is secondary. The main thing is to use this opportunity to get closer to "ending the band."

Thinking of this, Yingliang readily agreed.

"no problem."

……

The next day was Saturday.

In the afternoon, the sky is sunny...

It's more like the scorching sun.

After all, it's already early July.

Yingliang came to [Starry Sky] alone

This area belongs to the Shimokitazawa area.

The location of [Stars] is also unique. It is located on the underground floor and connected to the ground through a staircase.

Yingliang stood at the door and looked at the business hours above.

17:00-22:30.

There are still two hours left until normal business hours.

Fortunately, Yingliang had made an appointment in advance to discuss business, so there was no need to worry about this.

He pushed the door open and walked in. There was a staircase right at the entrance, and the counter was right across from the stairs.

He took a quick look and found that the space inside was very small, seemingly not even as big as the cafe on the second floor of "RiNG".

The environment is very dark and lifeless.

At this moment, Sakura only saw one person in the store.

Her gorgeous blonde hair cascaded down to her waist, and her jewel-like red eyes were set in her delicate face. But the most representative feature of her was the ahoge hair on top of her head that resembled a moo-choo horn.

When she saw Sakura coming in, Ijichi Seika, who was sitting at the counter sipping juice, was stunned.

She received news that the "Ark Savior" band sent someone over today to discuss business, but she really didn't expect that the other party's captain would come in person.

……

Chapter 74 The Forgotten Mile.

"Ahem, let me introduce myself. My name is Ichichi Hoshige, the store manager here."

Xingge put down the juice, stood up and extended his right hand towards Yingliang.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yingliang, and I'm the lead singer of 'Ark Savior'."

The moment their hands touched, Xingge shuddered all over as if he had been electrocuted.

This made Sakura a little confused.

At Xingge's invitation, Yingliang sat down next to her.

"Let's get straight to the point, shall we? Regarding the consignment sales, how much profit will you charge as compensation?"

Sakura got straight to the point.

Xingge was too embarrassed to give a direct quote at the moment, so he gave a brief introduction first.

"I'm not sure what you charge other stores, but mine is generally around 25 to 30 percent."

Simply put, if the reward is 30%, for every 1000 yen peripheral item sold, [Fanxing] will take 300 yen.

In Xingge's opinion, even if it was the lowest level of 25%, he could make a lot of money.

After all, with the popularity of "Ark Savior", the sales of peripheral products must be very good.

Here I am, even though the profit margin of many band peripherals is 30%, few customers are actually willing to buy them.

Who said they have so few fans?

"Is that so? Then 30 percent?"

"Eh?"

Xingge was stunned for a moment.

She seriously doubted that the other party had no self-awareness that he was very popular.

Generally speaking, bands that offer high profits are basically those that are not confident about their sales.

"Is it really possible?"

Sakura nodded.

The store here is not big. Even if we take away all the income, we may not be able to sell much in a month.

So that 5% is insignificant, it’s better to give the other party more favorability points.

"Is the contract ready? What kind of peripherals do you want to purchase?"

Thanks to the planning of Satoshi, Ahn and Subaru, there are now many kinds of "Ark Savior" peripherals.

There are not only common items such as posters, clothes, standees, and slides, but even items that are out of the scope such as mouse pads.

Xingge himself really wants to sell in large quantities, but unfortunately the size of the store is really worrying, so he can only try to select some of the more popular peripherals.

After some negotiation between the two, a simple contract was printed out in about half an hour.

After confirming that there were no problems, both parties signed and put their fingerprints on it.

Even after all the steps were completed and he looked at the successfully signed contract, Xingge still found it a little unbelievable.

"Ryo, are you close to Kita?"

"It's not bad, right? Why are you asking this?"

Sakura was puzzled.

Little did he know that in Xingge's view, the fact that he was so easy to talk to and offered high profits was all thanks to Xiduo.

Otherwise, who would complain about having too much money?

"Ah, nothing, just asking."

Just then, the door to the exhibition hall opened.

A tall, black, straight-haired beauty with a graceful figure and full of feminine charm walked in.

Miss PA was about to say hello to Xingge, but Yingliang's presence made her stunned.

She and Sakura are good friends in a sense.

But it's in the game.

Moreover, Sakura didn't know that Ms. PA was "Audio Drama Art".

In order to protect the image she has painstakingly created offline, as a gentle and intellectual older sister with a mysterious aura, it is absolutely impossible for her to recognize the other party!

"Manager, isn't this the lead singer of the band 'Ark Savior'? So you two know each other?"

Miss PA walked down the stairs and sat next to Xingge.

Xingge, who was sandwiched in the middle, nodded.

"Actually, we just met today. Didn't I ask Kita to help us get some cooperation some time ago? Liang came here today just for this matter."

"You came at the right time. We just signed the contract."

After saying that, Xingge turned towards Yingliang.

"Let me introduce you. This is the store's sound engineer. You can call her PA-san."

Sakura looked at the PA lady and nodded.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yingliang. If you don't mind, you can just call me Liang."

Miss PA smiled very naturally.

"Nice to meet you. Liang is quite famous now, even though the band was just established not long ago."

These seemingly compliments are actually Miss PA's true feelings.

After all, when Yingliang first formed the band, he asked her to help with promotions.

As early as that time, after watching "Ark Savior", or rather watching the first work of "Ark", she believed that this band would definitely go far.

Now that I see him become successful, I feel...

The satisfaction of seeing a child you have high hopes for grow up well?

"..."

Sakura was surprised.

Xingge and Ms. PA are both "bindable objects".

The former chatted with me for so long and even got benefits from me, but his favorability value was only 80.

What about the latter?

We had just met and had exchanged less than five sentences, but our favorability score was as high as 87.

Later, the three of them became more and more excited in the conversation, and before they knew it, it was already 16 p.m.

During this period, some guests will arrive early and wait.

When the rock fans found out that Yingliang was there, they naturally didn't miss the opportunity. They all came over and called her "teacher".

Luckily, the farce didn't last long, as Kita and the others soon arrived and quickly pulled Sakura into the training room.

……

In the training room.

With Kita's introduction, the two teammates had a brief acquaintance with Sakura.

Looking at Yingliang, who is in the same class as her but has already become famous, Hongxia is a little excited.

"Are you really still in your first year of high school?"

"Of course it's true, Ijichi-senpai."

Among the four people present, Sakura and Kita are first-year high school students, while Nijigasaki and Yamada Ryo are second-year high school students.

When Yamada Ryo heard Sakura, who holds the title of "leader of the new generation of rock music," call Nijika a senior, the expressionless Yamada Ryo suddenly became interested.

"And me?"

Yingliang was stunned for a moment.

"Yamada-senpai?"

Yamada Ryo seemed to be enjoying it very much. He crossed his arms and nodded, with a slightly smug expression on his face.
