Don't be afraid, I've truly come to bring you happiness.

Mimi struggled to open her eyes from the chaotic darkness.

Her memory was shattered into countless fragments, and the last image that remained was a gigantic robot with a grotesque appearance.

and then?

what happened?

Hiss...my head hurts.

The first thing I saw was an unfamiliar ceiling.

"Hello, Mimi-nee, welcome to Starry Sky Agency."

"The master who exorcised you has already left."

As Lin Yuanshan spoke, he helped Meimi set up a small table on the sofa bed.

Then they brought over a bacon and egg dish and a glass of warm milk, and placed them on the table.

"It may be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, but I heard from Momoka that you also live in Tokyo, so I decided to pack you up and bring you back with me. I hope you don't mind?"

Where are Tao Tao and the others?

"Last night's performance was repeatedly asked for an encore by the audience, and I'm still sleeping now."

Lin Yuanshan added:

"Speaking of which, last night's performance was really lively. They even decided on the band's name during the performance."

"Also, I left your guitar there."

As Lin Yuanshan spoke, he pointed towards the wall.

The folk guitar leaned there quietly, and apart from the faded "Diamond Star" sticker, all the other crazy "New Kawasaki" marks on the body had been cleaned up.

"Uh... what was wrong with me yesterday?"

Mimi finally managed to sit up, rubbing her throbbing temples vigorously.

"Master Four Leaf says you are possessed by evil spirits."

Lin Yuanshan looked serious.

"Think carefully, have you encountered anything unclean before?"

"Dirty stuff?"

Mei shook her head blankly.

Lin Yuanshan let out a long sigh.

"Well, normal people definitely can't find the evil spirit's hideout."

"How about this, you sign a temporary affiliation contract and lay low at our Starry Sky Agency for a while."

"From my observation, evil spirits are usually very busy and cannot keep their eyes on one target."

As Mimi listened, she picked up a fork, took a bite of the fried egg, and her eyes lit up slightly.

good to eat!

She relaxed her guard against Lin Yuanshan a little.

"Thank you, Tao Tao is right, Mr. Lin, you really are a kind and warm-hearted person."

"However, what exactly are the characteristics of the evil spirits you mentioned? I'll make a note of them so I can take precautions in the future."

Lin Yuanshan nodded solemnly and began to systematically introduce the classic evil spirit images in his mind.

"First of all, you need to pay attention to your usual diet."

"Some evil spirits will secretly add something to your food to make your consciousness confused, thereby achieving their goal of controlling you."

As Mimi listened, she picked up a fork, took a bite of the fried egg, and her eyes lit up slightly.

good to eat!

She relaxed her guard against Lin Yuanshan a little.

"Thank you, Tao Tao is right, Mr. Lin, you really are a kind and warm-hearted person."

"However, what exactly are the characteristics of the evil spirits you mentioned? I'll make a note of them so I can take precautions in the future."

Lin Yuanshan: ""

He expressionlessly took away the breakfast plate in front of Mimi and tactfully skipped the introduction of the first type of evil spirit.

"There is another type of evil spirit that will approach you by disguising itself as someone close to you when you are not paying attention."

Just as Lin Yuanshan finished speaking, there was a sudden knocking on the door of the firm.

A "Hatsune Miku" voice, choked with emotion, came from outside.

"Your Majesty—! Open the door quickly! It's time for morning exercise—!"

Upon hearing that voice, Mimi shivered inexplicably, and goosebumps rose all over her body.

She lowered her voice and asked nervously:

"How...how should we deal with this kind of evil spirit?"

"Don't open the door, just leave her alone, she'll leave on her own in a bit."

Lin Yuanshan calmly explained.

Sure enough, as long as he didn't open the office door, which was covered in electrified barbed wire, the evil spirits at the door were powerless.

A moment later, the unsettling noise subsided on its own.

Lin Yuanshan continued his popular science lectures.

"The following type of evil spirit is quite special; it will monitor all your communication devices, leaving your privacy with nowhere to hide."

As he spoke, he skillfully removed dozens of miniature eavesdropping devices from corners of walls, lampshades, potted plants, and even Mimi's collar, casually tossing them into a signal-blocking bag.

"Don't worry, we have military-grade electromagnetic shielding here. The evil spirits' little tricks won't work."

Although he spoke casually, Mimi was already drenched in sweat.

So the world of the band girls... is actually a strange tale of rules!

"By the way, there is another kind of evil spirit that only appears when certain words are triggered, so you must never say that word in your daily life."

"I've heard about that too..."

"Actually, there should be other types of evil spirits, but I haven't figured out their clear characteristics yet. I'll tell you when I figure it out."

"So... there's more?"

Mimi felt that she was fortunate to have survived until now, thanks to the blessings of a bodhisattva.

"Just how many evil spirits are there...?"

"It's normal for band members to have a lot of amazing people."

After Lin Yuanshan finished clearing the dishes, he took a small cake from the refrigerator.

He broke off a small piece and tossed it to Jason, who was dozing at his feet.

Only after confirming that Jason was still lively and energetic after finishing the cake did he hand it to Mimi.

"Eat this, it's fine."

"Huh? Was there something wrong with something before?"

Mimi's memory is completely blank; she has no recollection of ever having eaten breakfast.

Just pretend it didn't happen.

Lin Yuanshan didn't want to leave her with psychological trauma, so he immediately changed the subject.

"To be honest, folk singers are actually more suited to online platforms. They are at a disadvantage when it comes to live performances and bands."

Mimi sighed, her expression somber.

"But if we can't organize a live show, how can we convince the record company?"

"That's easy. Starry Sky has its own distribution channels and knows some people in record companies, but..."

"I see."

Mimi understood what he meant.

"You want to hear my work first, right?"

As she spoke, she stood up from the sofa bed and picked up the folk guitar next to her.

Goodbye to the melody of that day

Until we meet again

We met again after we grew up.

Even though I've long forgotten that memory.

To be honest, Lin Yuanshan was shocked.

Folk songs, in particular, are not characterized by distinctive arrangements; they often move people with their straightforward melodies and simple lyrics.

Mimi's song is one of the best examples.

"Hey, Mr. Agent, what are you doing?"

"Oh, it's nothing, I just changed my phone ringtone from 'Spring Shadow' to yours."

Lin Yuanshan hadn't changed his ringtone yet.

Tao Xiang and her group, who had officially changed their name to the "Thornless and Thornless" band, had already walked out of the opened dormitory corridor.

We got back to Tokyo late last night, and everyone spent the night in a sparsely furnished dorm room.

Because they hadn't rested well, they were all still sleepy-eyed.

Chapter 121 Happy New Year!

"Are you alright, Mimi-nee?"

Rencai cautiously peeked over, her eyes filled with lingering fear.

I still vividly remember the scene last night when Mimi went crazy and demanded that Nina sign her face with a marker.

Fortunately, Master Yotsuba, who was invited from Miyamizu Shrine, arrived just in time. With a skillful combination of exorcism punches, he knocked out the possessed Mimi.

Mimi's memory was still hazy, but the remaining fragments made her shiver.

"I'm sorry, I think I did something rude last night."

Tao Xiang said angrily:

"Someone must be behind this, using some kind of black magic! Damn it, I don't want to find out who did it!"

Lin Yuanshan:

"Speaking of which, Sister Mimi will be half a colleague of everyone from now on. She will also temporarily be affiliated with Fanxing to avoid the continued harassment of evil spirits."

"Eh? Really?"

Peach Blossom's anger turned into surprise.

"It's true."

Lin Yuanshan opened the refrigerator.

"So, let's have breakfast together now."

As he spoke, he glanced at Jason, who had just finished digesting a small cake at his feet.

For some reason, the cat suddenly felt a chill down its spine.

"Meow~ (Have some decency!)"

After the performance in Suwa, Starry Night Studio officially began its New Year holiday.

Of course, the video account of the band "Thornless Yet Thorn" did not stop operating.

They distribute various promotional materials at fixed times every day.

There are things like "Teaching the Art of Spiked Fighting", "Eighteen Ways to Use the Spiked Hand Axe", and various song demos.
