A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

If you fail...

……

"Anyway, let's try a little harder."

After quickly finishing dinner in five minutes, Chihaya Tetsuya walked into the room again under the worried gaze of everyone.

Chapter 100: Weird reactions and busy people.

"Tetsuya said... that he needs to concentrate on preparing designs for the August exhibition these days, so if we don't have something important to do, it's best not to go to his room and disturb him."

Nagasaki Suyo said this to Chihaya Aine and Wakaba Mutsu with a worried look on her face.

Although Chihaya Tetsuya has always been very serious about his work, this time he seemed to have gone beyond seriousness and reached a somewhat pathological level...

"Is this really okay?"

"Hmm... that should be... okay... right?"

Chihaya Aine gave this completely unconvincing answer in a tone full of hesitation and uncertainty.

"After all, this is just a joint exhibition. And according to Su Shi, the results of this exhibition can only be small wins, medium wins, and big wins. If that's the case, there should be nothing to worry about."

"That's what I said..."

Nagasaki Suyo found this a little hard to accept.

If it were before, she would definitely increase the time she spent observing Chihaya's house to better judge Chihaya Tetsuya's condition.

But now she has other things to do——

"MyGO!!!!! is preparing new songs and street performances, and Ave Mujica has asked me to play strings for their first original song... I don't have any free time at all."

"Me too. Besides practicing, I'm also planning on recording a few promotional videos for our band's official account before the joint showcase... I've even bought a camera!"

Chihaya Aine put her hands on her hips and said:

"As the leader of the band, I also want to spend some time focusing on running our band's account!"

"..."

Wakaba Mutsu also shook his head.

The difficulty of the new song [Ave Mujica] still requires a lot of practice even for her level, not to mention that the new band members are still in the process of getting used to each other, so she must concentrate on the band from now on.

And the only one who is not a member of the band, Hoshino Ai, seems to have been completely devoted to her idol work recently...

"That means everyone will start to get busy from now on."

Nagasaki Suyo sighed.

"Although there's nothing wrong with this, I still feel like something's a little weird..."

However, as he had said before, this upcoming exhibition wasn't like the first time he designed costumes for Hoshino Ai, where a failure would be a lifelong regret. It's no exaggeration to say that simply being invited to this exhibition was a victory worth celebrating for Chihaya Tetsuya.

So... it shouldn't matter, right?

jingle--

At this moment, Ruoye Mu's phone suddenly rang, and when she saw the message on the phone, she immediately looked up and said to Nagasaki Suye:

"It's almost time for the agreed union on [Ave Mujica], so I have to leave first."

"Oh, I see."

jingle--

On the other side, Chihaya Aine's cell phone rang.

"Ah, I've also agreed with Deng to go take some landscape photos together..."

jingle--

"...I also made an appointment with my friends from the Tsuki no Mori Orchestra to pick out a violin together."

After saying that, the three of them looked at each other first, and then they all showed helpless expressions.

It seems that no matter what, I will have to let Chihaya Tetsuya work hard on his own for a while.

……

"Hmm... in a few days, I'll be meeting the real boss behind the scenes..."

Looking at the day that was marked repeatedly on the calendar on his phone, Yutenji Wakamugi muttered with a troubled look on his face.

"I really should say hello to him before we officially meet, Chuhua. Isn't Mr. Chihaya really someone who's easy to get along with?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Tetsuya is also maintaining [Summer Zodiac], [StarrySky], and [MyGO!!!!"

“He’s the real core character with [Ave Mujica], but he’s also really a gentle and understanding gentleman.”

Sanjiao Chuhua deliberately introduced it in this malicious way:

"Nothing will happen to Miss Ruomai."

"That's a completely unsettling response..."

Yutenji Wakamu sighed deeply.

However, having said that, as a qualified member of society and a video blogger with rich experience, I still have this most basic awareness and common sense.

Therefore, before the formal meeting, it is indeed necessary to contact the other party first!

Thinking of this, Yutenji Wakamugi finally made up her mind, opened the phone book, and dialed the number that Toyokawa Shoko had told her in advance.

Then, after a long, somewhat unnaturally long busy tone, Yutenji Wakamugi finally waited apprehensively for the moment the call was successfully connected.

【Hello, this is Chihaya Tetsuya. 】

"what……"

The extremely low and cold tone made the already nervous Yutenji Wakami stiffen subconsciously for a moment, but she quickly regained her spirits and spoke to the other end of the phone in a very standard and energetic tone:

"Hello, Chihaya-san. I'm Yutenji Wakamugi, the drummer who was invited by Ms. Toyokawa and Ms. Wakaba to join Ave Mujica. I'll also be the publicist for your brand."

[…Hello, Ms. Yutenji.]

On the other side, after listening to Yutenji Wakami's self-introduction, the tone on the other end of the phone softened somewhat, but the intonation remained unchanged.

[Excuse me, what can I do for you?]

"Eh? Ah... Because I'm going to meet you formally this weekend to discuss business-related matters, so I thought I'd say hello in advance..."

Under this cold tone full of oppression, Yutenji Wakamu's tone became more and more uncertain.

"I'm so sorry if I disturbed you..."

Next weekend?

For some reason, Chihaya Tetsuya's questioning tone made Yutenji Wakami subconsciously feel that he might have said something wrong.

Fortunately, Chihaya Tetsuya's immediate answer immediately dispelled her doubts.

[Sorry, I haven't been checking my phone much lately, so I didn't see the message Xiangzi sent me... Well, I'll discuss the specific cooperation details with you over the weekend... Is there anything else you want to talk about?]

"No, no more!"

Yutenji Wakamai quickly shook his head and said:

"I'm very sorry to disturb you at work, I wish you good luck in your work!"

beep, beep, beep...

As the last busy tone came, Yutenji Wakami suddenly slumped down on the table with a look of exhaustion.

"Wow... Such an oppressive voice... Hey, Chuhua, is this what you call easy to get along with?"

Youtianji Ruomai couldn't help complaining:

"Both the tone and attitude are too cold, aren't they? I almost thought I had offended Mr. Chihaya somewhere before..."

“…How could that be?”

On the other side, Sanjiao Chuhua, who had been listening to the conversation between the two throughout, also showed a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Tetsuya isn't usually like this..."

Could it be that something happened that he was unaware of? Or was it really just Yutenji Wakami making an inopportune call?

Sanjiao Chuhua was completely confused by this.

Before she could continue thinking, two people walked into the cafe and immediately interrupted her thoughts——

"Good afternoon, Hachiman-san, Shiina-san."

Sanjiao Chuhua smiled and said to the two classmates in front of him:

"Xiangzi and Mu are still on their way, so please wait here for a moment."

The last piece of the puzzle of [Ave Mujica] has finally arrived.

101

Chapter 101 At this critical moment.

Not long after, when Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsuya arrived at the cafe together, the pre-arranged meeting officially began. As the proposer and the intermediary with close ties to both parties, Sankaku Hatsuka naturally served as a bridge for communication between the two parties.

"This is the Hachiman Kailing-san I mentioned earlier, who serves as a support musician in more than ten bands."

Sanjiao Chuhua introduced to everyone the girl next to him who had long black hair that reached her shoulders, a heroic temperament, and a pretty face.

Hachiman Kailing also nodded to the people in front of her. This concise and clear response was highly consistent with her appearance and temperament.

"Actually, after that, I specifically checked in with Shiina-san and discovered that her abilities are far greater than I previously realized. So, Shiina-san, I'll let you explain."

"Rather than me explaining it, it would be better for everyone to see it for themselves..."

After saying that, Shiina Riki took out his cell phone and handed it to Toyokawa Shoko.

"This video is from when Hailing was a support musician. I don't need to tell you anything. With Xiangzi and Mu's perspective, they should be able to understand her strength just by watching it."

"..."

After hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko took Shiina Riki's phone out of curiosity, and Wakaba Mutsu also followed over.

Immediately after that, as Shoko Toyokawa pressed the play button, the live video on the screen also started.

"This style... is Funky."

Just by hearing the prelude, Shoko Toyokawa's expression immediately became extremely serious.

This is a fairly mature funky band, and a major characteristic of funky music is the emphasis on bass melodies. As a supporting musician, Hachiman Kaisuzu not only doesn't feel out of place during her performance, but even blends in perfectly...

This video can be said to directly demonstrate Hachiman Kailing's adaptability as a support musician and her extremely solid basic skills.

"The typhoon is also very mature..."

Wakaba Mu also nodded.

"Very calm and handsome."

Just like that, with unanimous praise from both of them, the first demonstration video came to an end.

Just when Toyokawa Shoko thought her strength display was over, Shiina Riki immediately switched to the second video.

"This time it's pop punk..."

Still a professional band, still supporting the bass, but this time, Hachiman Kairin showcases a completely different playing style than in the previous video. In pop-punk, the bass's role is largely familiar to music fans: a low-end instrument, discreetly integrated into the accompaniment. While the playing style alone is radically different from the funky music just mentioned, Hachiman Kairin seamlessly blends in and performs her role flawlessly.

"Whether playing the main melody or simply the bass part, it's excellent."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression gradually changed from initial curiosity and seriousness to admiration.

"Although this question is probably redundant, I still want to ask just in case. Hachiman-san should be able to handle the metal style, right?"

"no problem."

Hachiman Kailing answered decisively:

"I've been a support musician in four different metal bands."

"What types are they?"
