My daily life is getting weird because I am caught between being in a band and being an idol.

Please do not kill me without my permission.

Chaoyang immediately raised his hands in surrender and responded with a smile.

"But it seems like everything went smoothly today. Xiangzi, you're really reliable."

"Ah, it's a blessing that you're not here."

Xiangzi responded indifferently, flipping through the documents without looking up.

"...Aren't you being a little too aggressive today?"

Chaoyang touched his nose and said with a self-deprecating tone.

"how come."

Xiangzi looked up at him, his tone carrying a barely perceptible hint of relief.

"However, don't waste time here. There are things I needed to take care of this morning, so I need to catch up now. First, I need to greet the staff from the external sound and lighting companies. The success of today's performance depends on them."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Just as Chaoyang turned to leave, Xiangzi suddenly called out to him.

"and many more."

She put down the folder, frowned, and walked up to him.

"Huh? What else?"

Xiangzi didn't answer, but instead reached out and straightened Chaoyang's tie.

"Straighten your back, lift your chest, and remember to tuck your chin in."

After straightening his tie, Xiangzi took a step back, looked him up and down, and nodded.

"Now you look like a serious producer. Remember to be composed, be humble when greeting people, and don't give off a frivolous impression."

"......learn."

Chaoyang sighed.

Is Xiangzi trying to impose aristocratic etiquette on me?

. .

"Phew, it's finally over."

When the last round of greetings ended, Chaoyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiangzi stood to the side, holding a folder, glanced at him, and said indifferently.

"As the person in charge, this is basic professional conduct... There's still some time before the performance, so why don't you go and give the performers a final word of encouragement? This is probably the job you'll enjoy the most."

"How come~"

Xiangzi didn't continue talking to Chaoyang, but turned and left.

"Find a place to rest for a while, don't push yourself too hard."

With some worry, Chaoyang called out to Xiangzi's retreating figure.

Xiangzi simply waved his hand to indicate that he understood.

Although I know Xiangzi definitely won't listen, there's nothing I can do for the time being.

After leaving the venue, we walked up the stairs to the entrance of the music and lounge area.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I heard a loud argument coming from inside.

"I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

Hanami Yume puffed out her cheeks and looked at her older sister, D-ki, sitting opposite her with a wronged expression. She crossed her arms and said angrily.

Why is it always you who wins, sister?!

D-Ji gracefully smoothed her hair, revealing a slightly smug smile.

"It's no use being unwilling; I'm still the winner this time, Yuya. Hehehehe~"

Chaoyang stood at the door listening. He knew the two sisters had a good relationship, so he wasn't worried about anything. He simply pushed the door open with a smile.

As soon as he entered, D noticed him, and her smile deepened.

"Oh, producer, you're here."

D waved his hand, his tone relaxed.

"Producer!"

Before Chaoyang could respond, Huahai Youya rushed over, grabbing his arm with both hands, her big, bright eyes full of expectation.

"Producer~ I want to play too! Let me play too!"

Chapter 141 So cute, so awful, so cute, so awful.

After being coaxed by Youya, Chaoyang, who always responds better to gentle persuasion than force, almost impulsively agreed, but then he remembered Xiangzi's eyes.

He immediately clutched his forehead and pretended to have a headache.

"Ha, D-season, don't deliberately provoke your sister. Yuya's schedule has already been arranged. Whose appearance time do you want me to cut for you?"

“Hmm…”

Hanami Yuya was simply caught up in the moment; being kind-hearted by nature, she immediately calmed down after hearing Asahi's words.

"I'm sorry... I blurted it out without thinking... I'm very unwilling, but there's nothing I can do... But just you wait, sister, I'll compete with you on the same stage one day and beat you!"

As D listened to her sister's declaration of fighting spirit, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up. She gently shook her head, her tone full of doting and satisfaction.

"Hehe~~ I'll be really looking forward to it. But this time, you'll just have to stay in the audience and watch my first appearance. Hmm... everyone else, please leave now, I need to talk to the producer about some serious business."

Upon hearing the words "unrelated personnel," Chaoyang raised an eyebrow and coughed lightly while leaning against the door frame.

"Well, she's not exactly an unrelated person, since Yuya is a member of the same agency as you. Besides, family members aren't unrelated people either, right?"

D immediately turned her head, her eyes filled with a hint of anger, as if she had been touched on a sore spot.

She poked Chaoyang in the stomach with her elbow, but Chaoyang dodged in time and was not hit.

Yuya watched the two interact, seemingly oblivious to the sparks flying between them. She clenched her fists and waved them vigorously at her sister.

"Sister, keep going! I'm going to find Xiao Guang to cheer her on too!"

After saying that, she skipped and hopped out of the room, her footsteps fading into the distance, leaving only Ji and Chaoyang inside.

After confirming that Yuya had left, D-Season sighed slightly and looked up at the rising sun.

"Alright, can we now focus on the important matters?"

"Ah."

Huh? It was triggered suddenly? But that's fine, I came here to encourage everyone anyway.

"...About my sister...Is it certain that she can perform on stage with me next time? She's really looking forward to it, and if she agrees to trust you, she hopes you won't promise things she might not be able to keep."

"Huh? I was definitely planning to do it. After all, a lot of people like the love-hate relationship between sisters. But should we talk about it so early? It's not even close to happening yet... What if it doesn't go well this time and the agency goes bankrupt?"

"Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting in front of such an important stage!"

D's brows furrowed instantly, and his tone revealed a hint of anger.

"But... seeing you today, all my worries have completely disappeared."

Chaoyang looked at D-Ji standing in front of him. She was wearing the stage outfit she had worn for today's rehearsal; the vibrant red and black color scheme and the fitted cut accentuated her slender yet powerful figure.

Her tied-up hair and confident expression amplified her natural beauty many times over.

Although Chaoyang felt that she was not as cute as Qinyin, Qinyin could not match her heroic spirit and slightly shy feeling.

Chaoyang paused for a moment, somewhat lost in thought, and a sigh involuntarily arose in his heart.

...As expected of the top performer, she's different... A contestant like her from Season D, stepping onto the stage would be absolutely stunning and unforgettable.

"You are at your most charming today."

D-Ji, who was still angry because Chaoyang said something discouraging, was also stunned, and then quickly blushed, closed her eyes, and turned her head away to hide it.

"W-what does this mean? I really don't understand... Why are you suddenly praising me again..."

Chaoyang didn't care whether she was shy or not, and continued to speak earnestly.

"...The real D-season, although you're a vain and boastful person, you are indeed my most proud idol so far, and the most handsome idol in my eyes... Today, let the industry see what a D-season in a sea of ​​flowers truly is!!!"

"...Hehehe? I'm not that...but it seems I really am that amazing~~"

Although D-Ji wanted to be modest, he quickly reverted to his true nature and accepted Chaoyang's statement with a smile.

However, I always feel that the idols at Hatsune Miku Academy are all pretty easy to please... Everyone likes to be praised, whether it's Kotone or D-Season... and even Tetsuya Kotsuya!!! I'm always worried that they'll be manipulated by others.

Seeing D-Ji so easily coaxed by him, he was overjoyed.

Chaoyang got carried away, acting like a male escort in a host club, using his hands as megaphones to cheer him on.

"Yo, the future top idol, Flower Sea D Season, will sing of indomitable spirit and victory at will~"

"Hahaha~~ No wonder I chose this producer~~"

When they came out, D was still laughing in the room.

Even the smiling morning sun felt uneasy.

After leaving D-Season's room, Chaoyang came to his senses and realized that although he had spoken from the heart, he had not lied.

"Hmm... I feel like I went a bit too far... Oh well, let's go to the next one."

The rising sun has knocked on the door of the next idol.

. .

It was already evening.

At this moment, the entire venue was filled with the enthusiasm of the fans who had poured in, and the long queue outside had disappeared. Chaoyang stood outside the venue, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, running around busily, thoroughly enjoying himself.

"Please do not push or shove, it's dangerous! Please line up in the designated areas, and everyone will be able to enter smoothly!"

Chaoyang held a walkie-talkie in one hand and directed order at the scene with the other. Security personnel around him helped guide the crowd, but he still habitually intervened, fearing that the fans' enthusiasm might cause chaos. After all, it was their first time organizing such an event, and Chaoyang was terrified of a stampede; he still remembered witnessing the horrific stampede in South Korea before his reincarnation and felt a lingering fear.

A few meters away, the surrounding stalls were equally bustling with activity. At one stall, a staff member, looking apologetic, explained to the fans:

"Sorry, all of the merchandise related to Shirahime Chisato is sold out. How about we consider merchandise from other idols?"

"Why is Qian Sheng sold out again! I've been queuing for two hours!"

The fans shouted in disappointment and turned to rush towards other stalls.

Standing to the side, Chaoyang listened, rubbing his temples involuntarily. His gaze swept over the remaining stock: Qinyin towels, D-season keychains, limited-edition Japanese T-shirts... There were still some left, more or less.

As expected, at this stage, only the name "Thousand Saints" is known to everyone.

He sighed inwardly, then shook his head, temporarily putting those thoughts out of his mind.

the other side.

At this moment, the backstage area was completely dark, with only a few indicator lights flashing. Xiangzi stood in front of the control panel, holding a wireless headset, her voice transmitting throughout the backstage area.

"Five minutes left! Five minutes left!"

"This is Toyokawa. I would like to inform everyone again: the live performance will proceed on time. If there are any problems, please report them immediately."

"The lighting team has confirmed that there are no problems."

"PA team confirmed, no problem."

Xiangzi quickly organized the information from all sides, glanced at his watch, and turned on his headset again.
