But Shiomi Miura still prefers the traditional way.

“Let me see the live time. Huh? Why is it on Saturday? Am I seeing correctly?”

Miura Shiomi took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes. Her eyesight was poor, and sometimes she couldn’t see things clearly. But just now, Miura Shiomi definitely saw everything clearly. However, she was still doubting it in her heart.

Because today is Wednesday, the live performance time and the release information are too close, and the band has no time to sell tickets. For example, those first-line bands will announce the relevant information of their performances and sell tickets in advance several months.

“It’s so amateurish, so casual, so mindless. I can’t stand it.”

Miura Shiomi stood up again, slamming the table in anger. Her colleagues turned around and looked at her. Miura Shiomi instantly lost her momentum and sat down again obediently.

She couldn’t give up on MY ALL. MY ALL’s commercial capabilities were too weak, and they had no operational skills. Therefore, Miura Shiomi once again decided to save MY ALL’s dismal commercial performance.

So, Miura Shiomi decisively looked up the performance venue. During work hours that day, she slipped out of the office and ran to the familiar live venue and bought a ticket. Then, she saw the familiar face of the store manager again.

“Are these the merchandise we’re selling this time?”

Asagi casually picked up a few small decorative items from the table and fiddled with them. MMK hadn’t prepared much merchandise, only about 20 items. Most of them were small toys, decorative items. The most expensive item was the T-shirt with the band’s name on it.

In the corner of the table, there was a small cardboard box containing a photo of the five beautiful girls in the band. Could Rupa and MMK still be considered beautiful girls? Asagi wasn’t sure. But they were a girl band, after all.

There are about 50 copies of the group photo. Since it is super easy and cheap to make, MMK and the others printed a little more.

Looking at the cards, Asagi remembered the autographed cards that MMK and the others wrote for Chihaya Aine yesterday. Those were out of print. Asagi printed them out by himself, and then asked MMK and the others for their signatures.

Asagi is very kind to Chihaya Aine.

“We don’t prepare much because we may not be able to sell it at all. It’s best for everyone to be mentally prepared for this.” MMK reminded everyone.

MMK is a veteran. When she was at Diamond Star, she must have encountered many such incidents of peripheral products being unsold.

“Such a beautiful MMK, don’t you like it?”

Nina pointed to the card in the box and said, “But the card has Lupa, Xiaozhi, Nina, 486, and MMK all together. Just one card has all five of them together. Just thinking about it makes a lot of sense.”

“I think everyone will probably go crazy and buy it. For example, I will definitely rush to buy it, and maybe they will buy it all.”

Rencai has no idea about business operations. Her remarks are just the irrational remarks of a fanatical fan and should not be used as a reference.

“I think MMK is right. After all, we have no idea how many tickets will be sold, so it’s best for everyone to anticipate the worst outcome.” Rupa, as expected of being the oldest, spoke in a steady and persuasive manner.

Perhaps this is the advantage of being older. The same words, when spoken by an older person like Rupa, are much more persuasive. If Xiaozhi said it, no one would take it to heart.

“There aren’t many prepared, maybe they will be sold.”

Ebizka Satoshi whispered beside him.

“Then I’ll buy one in advance, and consider it my vision for this live.”

Asagi took out a photo of Lupa, Xiaozhi, Renai, 486, and MMK from the paper box and handed it to them.

“Hehe, fans are asking their idols for autographs.”

Looking at the card handed by Asagi, Rupa, Satoshi, Nina, 486, and MMK were stunned.

“Didn’t you ask us for autographs yesterday? Aren’t those enough?” Ebizuka Satoshi took the card and signed his name on it very fluently, while complaining about Asagi, who was always bothering him.

I signed it for him just the day before yesterday.

“I gave them away. It was given to one of your fans, who also happens to be an acquaintance of mine, so I gave them to her.”

Asagi said with a hint of apology. He gave it to Chihaya Aine. It couldn’t be helped. If you want to build a good relationship with Chihaya Aine, you must give her something valuable and meaningful. A rare autographed card is definitely very meaningful. Maybe it will appreciate in value in the future, a lot.

“Is it easy to give away my autograph? Do I need to go and sign it for someone else and then exchange it for money?”

An Heang signed her name decisively. Unlike Ebizuka Satoshi, An Heang had practiced her signature specially, so her handwriting was very beautiful.

“It’s a good idea. If I get down on my luck in the future, this will be a way to make a living.”

Asagi complained.

“Also, Niina, I’m sorry…”

Asagi handed the card to Nina again.

Renai took the card and wrote her name carefully.

“Well, I’m coming too.” Rupa happily drew on it some words that Asagi couldn’t understand.

Finally it was MMK’s turn. MMK said nothing and silently wrote his own name, Kawahara Momoka. Then MMK handed it to Asagi,

“You should write your name too, so that the band is complete with all six of us.”

Chapter 88 Destined

After returning from Yoshinoya’s restaurant, Asagi reviewed recent events. It had been nearly a month and a half since he’d traveled through time. So far, progress toward his goals had been smooth. My All’s reputation was slowly growing, and their two new songs were receiving positive feedback online. The rest depended on time.

The band’s fan base has unknowingly reached 1, and the number has skyrocketed recently. At this rate, Asagi will likely see the number of fans surpass 2, at least during the summer vacation.

As for selling songs, Asagi still had no plans to do so. Before becoming well-known, any of your works are very cheap. Moreover, going to some large agencies to promote yourself will not only cost a lot of time, but also result in many rejections.

Because Asagi wasn’t in a rush. He didn’t have any immediate life pressures, and he didn’t need a lot of cash. His current situation was pretty good, and he wasn’t the type to spend lavishly. Besides, there was nothing wrong with a decent job; it would allow him to meet a lot of people.

Lying on the bed, Asagi looked at the ceiling of the room. He didn’t know how many times he had looked at the ceiling. When he calmed down, Asagi would occasionally think about the meaning of his existence in this world.

Live as an ordinary person? With the golden finger, he can basically live freely. Money can solve a huge number of problems.

Or, become a business tycoon? But what would he do after becoming a business tycoon? He only had three meals a day, and he couldn’t eat more.

“We can only take it one step at a time and finish the task at hand first?”

“Never mind, let’s go to sleep first. There’s no rush anyway.”

Asagi closed his eyes.

“486 is so cute,”

The beeping sound started again, and Asagi had no choice but to pick up the phone. Every time he was sleeping, his phone would always ring. He was almost hallucinating.

When I opened my phone, Nagasaki Suyo’s profile picture was flashing.

“Have you met her in person? How do you know she’s cute?”

“Why should I tell you?”

Nagasaki Suyo saved the video file that An Heang had just sent her. Last time, after Asagi recommended Nagasaki Suyo to An Heang, An Heang took the initiative to add Nagasaki Suyo.

When the two first met, they exchanged a few awkward greetings, their first conversation quickly ending with a few quick words. Nagasaki Suyo checked her phone, which read 2 a.m. She was exhausted from a late night, but she still managed to make it to school.

It was just one sleepless night. Nagasaki Suyo washed her face and took a quick nap on the train. In class, she forced herself to stay awake until the afternoon was over.

“Sushi, come to rehearsal after school.”

“Sorry, I have something to do today and don’t have time. Maybe next time.”

Nagasaki Motoyo sent a message to her friend Shiina Tatsuki. Now, she just wanted to go home and have a good sleep.

When Nagasaki Suyo woke up again, it was already 9 o’clock in the evening.

“Would you like to meet up? I saw the photos you shared. Are you in a band too? Me too.”

Nagasaki Suyo opened her phone and saw a message from An Heang, timed at 11 a.m. She hadn’t opened her phone all day because she was exhausted, constantly trying to catch up on sleep.

Nagasaki Suyo blinked doubtfully and repeated casually,

“We need to meet,”

“Ah, meeting?” She suddenly perked up, her body instantly jumping up and sitting on the sofa. Nagasaki Suye looked at the message on her phone with some trembling. An Heang, that girl she didn’t know, just added her contact information that morning, and she invited her to meet offline?

Shouldn’t meeting in person be something that only happens after you’re familiar with each other? They’re not familiar with each other at all right now.

Nagasaki Suyo was very conflicted. She pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and stared at her phone, unsure how to respond to the girl in front of her, An Heang. At the same time, Nagasaki Suyo was also a little curious about what kind of person An Heang, a friend or acquaintance of Inoue Asagi, could be?

Nagasaki Sushi carefully stared at the profile picture of An Heang on her phone. After a while, she found that the profile picture in front of her seemed familiar. It was as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head, searching her mind for the name An and Ang, but to no avail. She tried to identify it with her eyes, but it seemed familiar, and she couldn’t place it.

Are you in a band, too? Me too. Suddenly, Nagasaki Suyo stared at the words again. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she grabbed her phone, exclaimed, and tremblingly typed “MY ALL.” On the MY ALL band’s homepage, she found a girl whose face bore a striking resemblance to An and Ang’s profile pictures.

Nagasaki Suyo tried hard to identify her, and through various details of her face, she found that An Heang was most likely the girl from the MY ALL band.

“what!.”

Nagasaki Suyo was so surprised that her phone almost dropped to the ground, but fortunately she reacted in time and caught it.

“What should I do? What should I do? Is it really her? Is she a member of MY ALL?”

“I can’t hurry. I feel like she looks familiar. However, the portrait is a bit cartoony and I can’t recognize her right away. But how should I greet her? If I reply now, is it too late? Will she be angry? I haven’t replied to her message yet.”

“Why would Inoue know anyone from the band MY ALL? Or was everything he said the other day true? It’s not my fault. That guy always speaks in a frivolous manner, making it hard to believe.”

Because Nagasaki Sushi hadn’t paid any attention to An and Ang, she didn’t recognize them immediately. Nagasaki Sushi suppressed her trembling fingers and her excitement. She thought for a long time and decided to send a message.

“We have met before.”

Nagasaki Sushi and An Heang had met before, and she remembered that night at the theater, she met MMK. It must have been An Heang who spoke to her that day, Nagasaki Sushi thought they looked alike.

“Last night, at the Theatre. You struck up a conversation with a girl while you were looking for a seat, remember?”

“So that’s you! No wonder your profile picture looked familiar to me. What a coincidence! Is this fate? Are we destined to meet in this life?”

An Heang smiled wickedly and looked at the reply from Nagasaki Suye on his phone. Although the reply was a little late, An Heang didn’t care.

“It’s like it transcends time and space.”

Looking at the other party’s teasing words, Nagasaki Suyo was so scared that her phone fell to the ground.

Chapter ** Ticket

“I’m very happy to receive your message. However, I regret to tell you some bad news. That is, I’m going to sleep.”

Asagi looked at the message from Nagasaki Suyo and typed [Read].

Of course he knew 486 was cute. The point was that he was a little sleepy and wanted to go to bed.

“I bought five tickets.”

Then, the phone rang again. It was another message from Nagasaki Motoyo. Asagi, helpless, looked at the picture Nagasaki Motoyo had sent. On a small table lay five tickets. Asagi felt they looked familiar. After identifying them, he realized they were tickets for the MY ALL band’s live show tomorrow.

Five more! A little rich girl! In just one month, she’s already spent 5 yuan in pocket money. Didn’t she blink? An Heang is also a little rich, but she’s still a bit behind Nagasaki Suyo.

After all, An Heang survives by buying JK clothes, eating and drinking for free, and cheating on coupons.

“Oh, I see, but let’s go to sleep first.”

“But I’m not sleepy.”

“But, I’m sleepy.”

“Let’s do this for now. I’m going to bring Xiao Deng and the others with me.”

Seeing the joyful message on Nagasaki Motoyo’s phone, Asagi didn’t intend to tell her. At least let her have a good dream. In the dream, Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Aine happily looked at the tickets handed to them by Nagasaki Motoyo, jumping up and down, hugging Nagasaki Motoyo and thanking her profusely.

In reality, Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Aine already have tickets. It’s just that Asagi is a little strange, and Nagasaki Motoyo doesn’t know about this. Could it be that they haven’t been together recently?

Never mind. Buying a few more tickets wasn’t a problem for Nagasaki Suyo. Someone who regularly frequented the live house “RiNG,” leisurely sipping coffee and renting out rooms to practice songs without batting an eyelid, clearly had no shortage of money.

If it were MMK, she would have to think for a long time and then find a relatively cheap time to rent a room to practice singing. Moreover, after practicing singing, MMK would have to rush to work to make up for the financial loss.

On Saturday afternoon, Asagi arrived early to meet up with Rupa and Xiaozhi at their house. MMK sat alone, while Ann and Ang stared at Xiaozhi’s pet snake. In the corner, Asagi watched Renai. She sat there quietly, her body tense and her hands clenched, as if she were nervous.

The last small concert only opened the door to a new world for Rencai. It will take some means and time to let Rencai step both feet into the new world.

The means is to provide talents with a back door to access music, while time is to allow Rencai to think for herself and her future.

“A little late.”

MMK looked at the time, 4:37.

“Sorry, I missed the bus because I walked too slowly.”

Asagi sat down, gulping down his water. His school was already far from Rupa’s house, and he had to ask the club president for leave. Furthermore, the train wouldn’t wait for anyone; if he missed his scheduled time, he couldn’t get on and would have to wait for the next one.

“But it doesn’t matter. As long as we get there, it’s fine.”

MMK stood up and walked to the corner to pick up his guitar. Everyone else in the room had packed up everything and was waiting for Asagi. There was no way, of the six people, he was the only one who was a formal student.

MMK, Rupa has long since stopped going to school and works odd jobs, giving her a lot of free time. Satoshi and Nina are both dropouts, with Satoshi giving up on school entirely. Nina, while claiming she’s preparing for college, also has her own free time.

In the end, Ann and Ang barely qualified as students, though her school was a special one, with limited classes. MMK had a guitar on his back, Lupa had a bass, and Xiaozhi had a small keyboard. Only Ann and Ang couldn’t seem to bring her drums with her, so they had to use the instruments provided by the venue.
