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

This was just before Zepphaneda went on stage.

A venue for 3000 people.

This marks the end of the band's first large-scale solo concert.

The venue was packed.

The third photo is from our victory celebration trip in Kyoto.

It's a scene of Pochi feeding deer with rice crackers.

Two golden retrievers, one blue and one red, appeared in one corner of the image.

But the main body is still Pochi.

She was so frightened that she dropped the rice cracker she was holding.

The rice cracker was caught by a hand off-screen.

The fourth photo.

The five members of the band didn't look too good after the band ended.

Five dark circles under the eyes.

Kita probably found the image amusing, so he took a selfie of the five of them and posted it in the group chat.

In the background of the photo, a piece of chalk is flying straight toward Kita's head.

The blackboard next to him was covered with tutoring formulas drawn by Lin Yuanshan.

The fifth photo.

A pitch-black hot pot.

The five band members looked at the ingredients in the pot with troubled expressions.

That was the dinner that Lin Yuanshan and his friends made themselves while he was away on a business trip.

The background of the scene shows Lin Yuanshan, who has just returned, carrying fresh vegetables. His silhouette is covered in black lines when he sees the pot.

The sixth photo made her hum softly.

In the scene, at the foot of Tokyo Tower, there are only her and Lin Yuanshan.

That guy had a rare moment of conscience and said he wanted to do something that would make him "happy".

So she suggested that Lin Yuanshan also go to Tokyo Tower for a roadshow.

For this reason, she even taught him guitar for a week.

As a result, the manager, who was so knowledgeable when instructing others, was actually terrible at guitar himself.

After practicing for a whole week, I could barely play "Linda Linda".

Finally, he played his guitar diligently for a long time under the Tokyo Tower, but the guitar case in front of him was still empty.

Seeing his embarrassed look, I couldn't resist and secretly dropped in a few coins.

His embarrassed expression and his sly smile in the photo were captured forever.

The seventh photo is from a television interview, in which she is seen answering the reporter's questions with a pale face.

When asked why he formed a band.

Pochi:

"When I was in school, I liked to hide in a deserted corner and had no friends."

reporter:

"Bomen Bomen Bo (who now forms a band that is very popular with young people)!"

Pochi:

"Yes, even a loner like me can shine in a band."

reporter:

"Menbomen (as expected of the Pochi Demon)!"

The eighth photo is a group photo from a performance at the Budokan.

The ninth photo shows the Saitama Super Arena, where the entire arena is chanting "Pochi the Devil".

The tenth one

Oh no, I have too many interesting memories, I'm about to miss my stop!

With a start, Pochi grabbed his guitar and dashed out of the car at the last second before the doors closed.

Even today, she always carries her guitar with her when she goes out.

Because the guitar is her alter ego, she feels safe when it's on her back.

"Huh? Isn't that guy the guitar devil who ended the band...?"

"Can we take a photo together?"

"Please give me your autograph!"

As soon as she exited the subway station, she was recognized and had to resort to the ultimate technique of social anxiety—teleportation—to awkwardly slip out of the crowd.

Even now, she is still not very good at dealing with strangers outside the stage.

After rushing for a while, we finally arrived at the agreed location.

On the agreed-upon park bench, a familiar figure was already waiting.

His all-black trench coat made him stand out starkly against the warm winter colors around him.

Perhaps on a whim, Lin Yuanshan had been sitting on the bench since earlier.

I fed the pigeons with bread I bought from a convenience store.

At that moment, he was scattering the last crumbs at his feet, attracting all the pigeons nearby.

"Heh heh, one day I'll make all the girl band members in Tokyo grovel at my feet, just like you!"

goo goo-

The pigeons at my feet responded with disdain.

Chapter 95 Please ask God!

Poch's happiness level has remained at 99 so far.

Even at the Saitama Super Arena, where tens of thousands of spectators chanted her name together,

That didn't allow the number to break through the final barrier.

It's like a visual novel game that has reached its final chapter, but is missing the crucial option to trigger the TrueEnd.

Lin Yuanshan realized that all his recent efforts had been in vain.

What exactly is missing?

Is the band not famous enough?

The next step is the Tokyo Dome, where the band will finally reach its current level of fame. They are now a household name in Tokyo, and even elementary school students can hum their songs.

Although they are not yet on par with AveMujica, who are senior artists and have been operating for a longer period, they have reached a level where they can be included in the voting list for the Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle).

At Xiuhua High School, even the teachers have become followers of Boqi, and they would occasionally utter a few words of Boqi's philosophy during class.

So, is it because the band members don't get along well?

That's even less likely.

Compared to those bands that achieve instant fame and then quickly go solo, the atmosphere within a band after ending their career is practically an industry utopia.

These idiots haven't even asked Lin Yuanshan how much money the band has actually made.

They accepted whatever Lin Yuanshan gave them, their trust bordering on blindness.

So, could it be... that he took the wrong path from the start?

Pochi, did she never find playing in a band fun?

"Hey, what... what are you daydreaming about!"

A hand patted Lin Yuanshan on the shoulder, pulling him out of his reverie, and in doing so, startled a large flock of pigeons at his feet.

Lin Yuanshan turned his head.

"I'm thinking about how to completely control Goto Ichiri's mind and brainwash her into a guitar-playing machine whose mind is filled only with happiness."

"No... as expected of Lin, he always manages to say such bizarre things with a straight face!"

Poch knew, of course, that he was joking.

If Lin Yuanshan truly possessed that ability, he would have single-handedly brainwashed the entire city of Tokyo long ago.

Why would I need to be their agent?

"However, all things considered, I get tired sometimes too."

He sat back down.

Jopch's appearance today was purely a desperate attempt to find a solution.

Because he recently discovered that when Poch is alone, his heart rate and blood pressure are several orders of magnitude higher than usual.

What? How did he know?

Don't underestimate the Dark Emperor's intelligence network!

Besides, what's so difficult about secretly installing a vital signs monitoring device on Boch's guitar case?

"Huh? Lin asked me out today, wasn't it to ask me out... oh wait, to take me to experience the life of a successful person? Why am I suddenly feeling so down?"

"No, wait a moment while I unload something."

Lin Yuanshan suddenly said.

"I've been wearing that thing for too long. If I continue like this, I'm afraid I'll never be able to take it off again."

This simulation cycle is more than twice as long as the one Ai Yin did.

He always wore Ram's pocket watch, and recently it had reached the point where he was almost possessed by it.

I even dream about robbing a bank.

The assistants were Chu Hua and Xing Ge, Teacher Da Mo was in charge of driving, and Xiang Zi was in charge of keeping watch.

In the end, they were all captured by Sheriff Ai-on.

[Emulator Tip]

You have removed Ram's pocket watch.

"Now it's better, at least I can catch my breath once in a while."

With a long sigh, Lin Yuanshan's entire demeanor underwent a subtle change.

The eerie aura that usually lingered, seemingly capable of lowering the temperature of the surrounding air, quietly dissipated.

Instead, she exudes a gentle, wifely aura, revealing no trace of temper.

He wasn't worried that Pochi would become the next Starsong, and he took him down after removing his pocket watch.

Because he believed he had a good eye for people:

Even if Pochi really wanted to do something bad to him, he wouldn't have the guts to do it.

What he didn't know was that,
