Hai Ling looked at this person who was calling out someone else's name with obvious disdain, but the smile on her lips just wouldn't stop.

It's like showing off.

Disgusting.

"I'm leaving now." Hailing picked up her bass and ran away.

I don't want to see this guy laugh anymore.

I'm a little, no, extremely annoyed.

Is it really that fun?

These places?

I'll go by myself!

Yawata Kairin clenched her fist.

As for money.

There are many ways for bands to operate. Some bands act as resident performers, helping to sell tickets for their own shows and then earning money by bringing popularity and revenue to the concert hall, from which they will share the profits.

Alternatively, they can spend their own money to organize concerts, rent venues, and generate income according to their own plans.

Or, like MYGO did as a stopover between two bands' concerts, I hope everyone will be mindful of themselves.

I'll also get paid for holding my own concerts later on.

Hai Ling, who joined more than 30 bands, including 10 particularly active ones, didn't earn a very high income, since they were just girl bands.

But it won't be too low either.

On days when she doesn't need to practice, enjoying life, feeling the sense of ownership after buying something, and experiencing the emotion and satisfaction of seeing her sweat in the band come to life are all things that Hailing likes to do.

Hai Ling just doesn't understand why she likes to shop, especially knowing that it's money earned by the band.

It's as if, at this moment, using the band's income to buy things makes you a part of the band, proving that you exist in the band.

But Hailing didn't want to delve into that.

The more you think, the more upset you become.

Thinking too much will dull your bass.

Go if you want, see what's so great about it, or you might as well practice at home.

. . . . . .

Although I don't know why, it always happens that Xiangzi comes around the time I finish my shift, which is roughly after the students have gone home from school and there aren't many customers.

It's like Xiangzi was also working.

Shaking his head to dismiss his own chaotic speculations, he realized that the girl was clearly some rich young lady from who-knows-where.

She didn't even recognize a beverage machine before, let alone know what a KTV was. Working? She'd never be able to work in her life.

Lixi shook his head.

Practice together with everyone.

They are poised to act, searching for answers to Chihaya Aine's questions.

After all, Chihaya Aine was the only one in the team who could find problems.

The light wasn't good, I was afraid of the pressure of finding someone else, and the other party had always performed very well.

Le Nai and Xiao Mu couldn't find any problems with themselves, as for Xiang Zi, it was good enough that he didn't find any problems with himself, and as for Su Shi, since everyone came back, he has improved so fast that he couldn't even see how much he was capable of.

Of course, Li Xi didn't believe it.

According to the other party.

This guy was definitely acting before.

The idea is to wait for problems to arise in the team, then bring Xiangzi back, form a seven-person group, and then make rapid progress to cover for everyone. The other side can definitely come up with and do this.

Haha, I can understand what this guy is thinking now.

Furthermore, they can even realize that they would have done the same thing if they were in that situation.

Did I get infected by the other person?

Now, the only people he can keep in check are himself and Chihaya Aine.

Li Xi thought to himself.

And it has become a daily routine for him to cause trouble for Aine.

Otherwise, if Deng and Xiangzi spoil and praise him like this, this guy will definitely become arrogant.

then.

A magical cycle.

To motivate Aine to work harder, Lixi puts pressure on her. When Aine puts pressure on herself, she asks Xiangzi and Deng to praise her. After they praise her, Lixi decides to increase the pressure so that they don't get too cocky, and this cycle continues.

However, the cycle was broken.

because.

"Tsk!"

"Hehehe! Ehe! Ehehehe!" Chihaya Aine jumped around in front of Riki in a cheeky manner.

It was as if she realized that she hadn't made a single mistake this time.

"Come on, let's practice one more song!"

"No! My Haruhi Kage, even with my eyes closed, even if I play randomly, won't have any problems!"

Ai Yin proudly raised her head.

"In other words, little RIKKI has completely lost sight of my Kasuga Kage problem!"

"Hey, RIKKI, is that all?"

"hateful!"

Lixi clenched her fists, looking at Aine in front of her; she was truly detestable.

"Crench."

Emperor Lixi, who had just gotten up from the drummer's golden toilet, noticed that Ai Yin from next door had run like lightning to Deng and Xiangzi's side and was looking at him.

If you're scared, then don't yell!

"I just remembered that the store manager asked me to get some things for everyone."

Li Xi said.

. . . . . . .

"What is this money for?" Xiangzi asked, looking at the two red envelopes that Lixi handed him.

“The payment we received from previous concerts,” Li Xi explained. As a staff member at RING, she had some understanding of the band's current operations, and because of MYGO, she had also specifically learned a lot about related matters.

"At our previous concert, there were two bands. Although more people came for Afterglow, they insisted on splitting the earnings 50/50. So, this is how everyone's income is divided: the arrangement, lyrics, and each musician gets an equal share. If it's not right, we'll discuss the split again."

"Huh?" Xiangzi accepted the envelope upon hearing this, and Aiyin, who was standing next to him, excitedly hugged it.

"Wow, this is the first time I've ever made money! Hmph! I can make money just by playing in a band! Am I some kind of genius?!"

"Although this is just a small salary, I think that a hundred years from now, people will say that the gears of the TOKYO ANON empire began to turn from the moment Chihaya Aine first received her payment."

"By the way, how are you all planning to spend the money?" Aine suddenly realized something and turned to look at everyone.

"Let's go out and have some fun! We have a day off tomorrow and the day after!"

Want to go out and play?

Speaking of this.

Lixi looked at the note from Hailing in his pocket.

Want to go out and play?

It's better to train properly at home.

I won't go out to play by myself; I'll practice hard with the band.

"Hmm? Lixi, what are you looking at?"

"When?" Lixi looked up.

Aine had already taken the note from her hand and said.

"Wow, it seems like Lixi has planned a lot of places to go!"

"No!" Li Xi looked at everyone gathering around and wanted to explain that she hadn't.

"Really!" Xiangzi exclaimed, looking at the note.

"Aquarium!" I saw the penguin's eyes sparkling.

"Oh~ a newly opened upscale restaurant? A trendy Shibuya tour?" Aine imagined how fashionable she would look when taking photos.

"A cat cafe?" Le Nai looked at the shop that Xiangzi had found through his search.

Everyone was looking at the store's description, but this cat only saw the cat cafe next to the restaurant.

"So, Lixi has always wanted to go out and have fun with everyone?"

Aine asked.

"No! This! This is! A friend of mine gave it to me!!"

"I understand! I have a friend who knows this!"

"No! They're real friends!"

"Seriously! That friend is so stubborn! And he likes to deny things subconsciously! I know, I know!"

“Chihaya Aine!!!” Riki looked at Chihaya Aine in front of him, who seemed to understand.

"It belongs to Hailing!" Lixi could only tell the truth.

"Oh, um, yes, yes, it's Hailing's!"

"...Really! I'll call her! You yourself, uh." Suddenly, in that instant, Li Xi realized that Hai Ling, knowing about this, would definitely say that she made it up, and might even cooperate in the performance, first, "Ah, I did write it," then, "Oh, oh, Li Xi said I wrote it? Well, then let's say I wrote it!"

Then I'll use this thing to make fun of myself next week.

. . . . . .

hateful!

"Aren't you going to fight?" Everyone clearly understood, so they all remained silent.

Chihaya Aine, however, never holds grudges and usually finds a way to get revenge on the spot.

"Chihaya Aine!!" Riki gritted his teeth.

"I don't want to go! I don't want to! Tomorrow, everyone should continue training and practice more!" Li Xi said, arms crossed.

"Eh? No! Lixi, I was wrong, um." Aiyin looked at Lixi and quickly apologized in a low voice, admitting that she had gone too far.

"Humph!"

"But, Riki, what should I do if I want to go?"

"Ha, I already said no, Xiao Xiang?" Li Xi subconsciously retorted, turning her head, only to find that it was Xiangzi who said those words.

"Didn't we agree to practice extra together?"

"Well, but isn't this also part of the extra training?"

"Eh?"

"A band is not just about music; more importantly, it's about the people, the wonderful memories we share, and the scenery we've seen together. These are what keep us going with the band! So, it's all for the band, isn't it?"

"..."

"Could it be that you don't want to go out and play with everyone? I checked, the aquarium has free mascot costumes that you can wear and play with, including penguin costumes."

Ai Yin glanced over instantly, and together with Li Xi, looked at the light.

"There are lots of cats in the cat cafe, the kind that you can bury yourself in."
