Tapping.
Chi-
Sanjiao Chuhua crawled into the bed and buried his head with the white quilt. He felt his heart beating faster and faster as he always felt [panic] and [uneasiness] since he saw [that person] again. It was like this before and it was still like this today.
It's time...it's time to calm down my [anxiety]...some words...are already stuck in my throat.
Dear classmates...
"Trust your classmates, trust your classmates, trust your classmates, trust your classmates, trust your classmates, trust your classmates, trust your classmates..."
He licked his dry lips, calling out the name of "that person" in his heart and out his mouth. Sanjiao Chuhua's face was flushed with a sickly red color, which was not known whether it was due to lack of oxygen or some other reason.
The pale white arms were like chains, and rather than hugging herself, it was more like she was being tightly bound. Even her fingertips had turned white from the excessive force.
I don't know how much time passed, but Sanjiao Chuhua, who was sticking out his little tongue and breathing heavily, felt his heart beating even faster due to lack of oxygen. He slowly poked his head, which was soaked with sweat, out of the quilt.
"Huh...huh..."
His hand slowly climbed up to his chest, feeling his heart beating wildly, and he began to think silently.
To be honest, it's really strange.
Obviously, the feeling of [panic] and [uneasiness] came with an accelerated heartbeat, but as long as I stayed under the quilt... after being [desensitized] like this, my heartbeat would still continue, but the [panic] and [uneasiness] would quietly disappear.
Especially when I found myself lying together with [that person]... my heart almost stopped beating... I was so nervous that I almost vomited. Even when I saw him again, I felt the same way.
However, after doing this kind of activity in the quilt... the tension, panic, and uneasiness disappeared at the same time... Isn't it weird?
After struggling to stand up from the quilt, Sanjiao Chuhua slowly supported his somewhat weak thighs, slowly raised his feet, and slowly moved towards the bathroom not far away.

"Didn't they say there were mice?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked back at Toyokawa Shoko who was holding him nervously, and asked with some confusion.
Since there are mice, should we go over and drive them out now?
"...Yes, there are rats, but...but that..."
Toyokawa Shoko was silent for a moment, her eyes turned slightly, and she spoke softly.
"...I can't catch him at night. What if I wake Chuhua up? Right...?"
Blinking tentatively, and looking at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who moved his hand away from the door handle thoughtfully, Toyokawa Shoko secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way... I can even sleep with Xin openly tonight.
That's just right. I'll cover up the scent that Chuhua left on Xin with my own scent.
...Chuhua, the band, etc., of course I will pay close attention to it...
But...if you believe it, then it would be more suitable for you to stay with me.
"...Alright, that's just right, I also have something I want to ask you, Xiangzi."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed, and suddenly his expression became much more serious.
"…Sumimi's agency said that they were going to invest in Ave Mujica, but Chuhua still hasn't told us the details, right?"
Triangle Chuhua is now the only link between the newly built Ave Mujica and Sumimi's office. Naturally, it is also likely to be the angel investor that helps AveMujica quickly embark on the road to commercialization.
Seeing that Nakagawa Nobuyuki suddenly became serious, Toyokawa Shoko naturally became more serious as well, and whispered to Nakagawa Nobuyuki the information she already knew.
"Chuhua sent me a message before, saying that Sumimi's firm was planning to bring in other financial groups to invest in AveMujica to share the risk...but even Chuhua didn't know which financial groups they were going to bring in."
"In addition, Chuhua also said that the agency said... if Ave Mujica's level is high enough, there may be a chance to communicate directly with other well-known bands or even perform together... For example, that [Roselia] or something like that, if that's the case..."
Having said this, Toyokawa Shoko's mood suddenly became heavy.
Roselia... Compared to the current Ave Mujica, it is just like Plus Pro MAXUltra. Although I am confident that Ave Mujica will not lose to them in time - but now, there is still some distance.
However, we have to admit that if this is the case, AveMujica will definitely develop rapidly by leveraging the popularity of other well-known bands.
Although it doesn't sound good, this may be a necessary evil of commercialization.
"Roselia..."
Hearing the familiar words, Nakagawa Nobuyuki pursed his lips in surprise.
Although I already knew that Roselia was quite famous...but I didn't expect that even Sumimi's agency was actually treating this as a pie in the sky for them?
"…By the way, Xiangzi, please pay attention to the problems of other financial groups. Since Sumimi is not very clear about this issue, it means there must be something fishy going on."
Nakagawa Nobuyuki frowned and gave a low warning.
"I think so too...but maybe we don't have a choice."
Toyokawa Shoko bit her lip, and her tone couldn't help but sound a little depressed.
The cards in my hand... are too few, so few that I can't even compete with Sumimi's agency to negotiate terms.
Xiao Mu... Xiao Mu's family didn't really support Xiao Mu playing in a band with no achievements. Unless he could produce enough results, how could they support him?
As for Chuhua, I can't force Chuhua to self-destruct in Sumimi just for my plan to form Ave Mujica - if it were my old self, maybe I would have done it... But now I have already let everyone in Crychic down. If it weren't for Xin... I would probably still be in opposition to Deng and Su Shi.
Therefore, how could I let Chuhua down again?
Other than that... Classmate Hailing and Miss Miaomeng can't even be considered cards.
The only thing that counts as a card is the existence of Ave Mujica itself.
The only card I have in my hand is Ave Mujica.
As for the Toyokawa family...
I really, really don't want to see that kind of place anymore.
He clenched his teeth and clenched his fists, but these actions were useless except for slightly hindering the functioning of the blood vessels in the body.
"Xiangzi, you're right. We really don't have much choice."
Shaking his head, Nakagawa Nobuyuki held up the railing in front of him with a slight emotion.
I... am not strong enough, not enough to help, not qualified enough to carry several bands.
No wonder everyone looked so surprised when they heard that I was playing in several bands.
If I were just an [agent], I would have no choice but to watch helplessly... Fortunately, I still have a [progress bar] to drive.
Therefore, Nakagawa Nobuyuki sighed, turned his head silently, and looked at Toyokawa Shoko who was clenching his fists with a little bit of unconvinced.
"... Xiangzi, I remember... one of the major performance forms of Ave Mujica is a stage play with the goal of [Resurrected Dolls], right?"
Nobuyuki Nakagawa's idea is quite simple. In a short period of time, perhaps Ave Mujica's singing and dancing skills and compatibility will find it difficult to catch up with those truly famous girl bands in the industry. Therefore, they must grasp the most differentiated point of AveMujica.
Stage play.
The more grand, gorgeous and exciting the stage play is, the biggest weapon that sets Ave Mujica apart from other girl bands.
Not only a stage play, but also an equally gorgeous performance... In this way, it will definitely be able to become a unique and brilliant flower among girl bands. By then... AveMujica will definitely be a cutting-edge band that can compete with other first-class bands.
"Letter...you want..."
Toyokawa Shoko seemed to have suddenly thought of something, blinked in disbelief, and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
"...I plan to learn some knowledge about stage plays when the time comes. Xiangzi, you have also seen my learning ability, right?"
Looking at the progress bar in front of him that had almost been filled, Nakagawa Nobuo pretended to be relaxed and said, "As for me, maybe I'm actually a genius by accident?"
My own composing skills are still to be improved, but everyone in MyGO already has Shiina as the core of composition. Although I have helped to change a lot of things before, it is ultimately just icing on the cake.
However, regarding Ave Mujica, which is related to stage plays, at present, no one understands this aspect of work... and this is also the biggest feature of AveMujica. Isn't this handing over the most core things to the agency?
Investment and the like are, of course, important, and commercialization itself has to make certain compromises, but both Nakagawa Nobuyuki and Toyokawa Shoko clearly understand one thing, which is that they must keep the most core independence in their own hands.
Otherwise, Ave Mujica might become one of those names that is abandoned and lost among thousands of girl bands.
"...Xin, I really...really don't know what to say."
The corners of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth suddenly curled up. She looked very happy, but her voice as loud as a silver bell became choked.
"…I, we, really are a community of shared destiny, right? I haven't told you that I'm also learning these things…"
I don't know whether it was tears of emotion or joy that were swirling in Toyokawa Shoko's big golden eyes, but they didn't fall down for a long time, just hanging in the corners of her eyes.
As expected... As expected, Xin and I had the same idea.
This feeling of being in sync with one's thoughts...ah, I'm really at a loss for words right now. Apart from "community of shared future", I really can't think of any better words than this.
"Well, let's make an appointment to learn these together?"
Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled and extended his hand to Toyokawa Shoko.
"……Um!"
Sucking her sore nose somewhat without caring about her image, Toyokawa Shoko forced a smile, but did not touch Nakagawa Nobu's hand. Instead, she hugged Nakagawa Nobu suddenly.
[Progress bar] is now filled up again.
At the same time, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was gently patting Toyokawa Shoko's head, was silently apologizing in his heart.
I'm sorry Xiangzi, for deceiving you in a place like this... If I use the [progress bar] to learn and understand these things, it will definitely be impossible for me to be with you.
Otherwise, you would surely worry to an exaggerated degree.
But don't worry, I'm in good health. It's just a little bit of pain, it's no big deal.
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki smiled easily, as if he had already seen Ave Mujica standing on some grand and exaggerated stage.
282
Chapter 282: Xiao Mu of course wants to go out and play.
"..."
With some difficulty he opened his still swollen and sore eyes. Having suffered from insomnia the previous night, Nakagawa Nobuyuki grabbed the alarm clock on the bedside table which had already rung, and squinted his eyes to check the time.
It’s already noon... It seems that I haven’t had a good rest recently. It’s so rare that I sleep for so long.
After stretching his body and staring at the ceiling for a while, Nakagawa Nobuyuki rubbed his eyes, slowly climbed up from the bed, and looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who had stuck a light blue note on the alarm clock just like before.
[Breakfast is on the table, and some books related to stage plays that I recently finished reading are also placed on the desk.]
[Also, Xin must take some time to rest recently. ]
[I also washed clothes for Xin, so remember to collect them.]
Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the note, which was the same as usual, under normal circumstances, Nakagawa Nobuyuki would probably smile as usual, stick it back on the bedside, do a little collection, and then do what he needed to do.
However, today, Nakagawa Nobuyuki suddenly frowned slightly, and his expression became a little strange when he looked at the last line of handwriting.
I always feel that... the handwriting in the last line is a little different?
Besides, did Xiangzi ever call himself "Xin-san"...
With such doubts, Nakagawa Nobuyuki gently moved his gaze.
There was indeed breakfast on the table, but it looked like it had already gone cold.
On the desk, there were several not-so-thin books piled high, almost like a pile of small bricks. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the books related to stage plays that Xiangzi mentioned.
clothing……
Nakagawa Nobuyuki looked towards the balcony and could still see the white shirt swaying gently outside the window.
It seems that there should be no problem? Is it just that I am worrying too much?
With his brows furrowed, Nakagawa Nobuyuki began to doubt himself.
Maybe Xiangzi just wrote the wrong word, or he was a little anxious when writing it. This makes sense, right?
Thinking of this, Nakagawa Nobuyuki felt relieved and put this weird point aside. After all, it seemed that this statement was the most likely one.
...It just so happens that if Chuhua goes to Sumimi and Xiangzi goes to work... then my time this afternoon can be used to use the [Progress Bar], since Xiangzi has already brought the book to me anyway.
Taking a few steps forward and pulling out the chair next to the desk, Nakagawa Nobuyuki picked up a book that he liked and took it out from the pile of books.
The title of the book is very straightforward, it is called "Drama", and the author's name is also a string of confusing katakana. It is obvious that the book was written by a foreigner.
As for the content of the book... the content is secondary. The most important thing is that Xiangzi really made small marks and notes in the blank spaces of the book. For Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was planning to use the [Progress Bar], this was like eating hailstones.
Borrowing other people's notes and understandings may not make Nakagawa Nobuyuki a great dramatist, but Nakagawa Nobuyuki has no intention of doing so.
More importantly, he can quickly catch up with Xiangzi's progress. As long as he continues to use the [progress bar], he will be confident that he and Xiangzi can turn AveMujica into a band with more than just a nice name.
