Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Having realized she had made a mistake again, Takamatsu Akari looked around helplessly, her flickering gaze lingering on Toyokawa Shoko several times.

Toyokawa Shoko silently closed her eyes, her heart churning with countless complex emotions that intertwined and entangled within her.

Shoko Toyokawa acknowledges Akari Takamatsu's vocal abilities.

But as the lead singer, how is such an unstable performance any different from a bomb that could explode at any moment?

What should she do? Will it be the same as before...?

393. Encouragement for Takamatsu Lantern / Specially Made Musical Instrument / Invitation to Kyoto Port

The six performers' poor performance ultimately made it difficult to heat up the atmosphere.

Kousaka Kyosuke, sensing the situation, quickly offered to play a duet with Kinnara.

Kinnara is the guitar, and Kyosuke Kosaka is the bass.

This is a very common combination in modern times.

The reason for choosing bass is simple: Yamada Ryo and Hiroi Kikusato, who both play bass, are bigger than kimonos and seem a bit lazy in their daily lives.

Kyosuke Kosaka then used a "show-off" method to motivate them to work hard on their own initiative.

Let's get the instruments tuned first.

"Does Kyosuke-sama also play bass?" Ritsu Tainaka murmured softly.

Su Chang, with her keen ears, leaned closer and said:

"Kyosuke-sama has a great sense of music. He knows how to use a musical instrument as soon as he touches it. Even the guitar and bass were made by Kyosuke-sama based on this talent."

"...Lady Sushang."

Ritsu Tainaka and the other girls with her greeted her hastily.

Su Chang waved her hand: "We are all listeners now, so let's not be too particular about etiquette."

Upon hearing Su Chang's words, Tainaka Ritsu continued to recount the story of Kosaka Kyosuke.

"Then that's almost the same as Yui. Yui also has a strong sense of music, and Lord Kinnara has confirmed this fact."

Hirasawa Yui, who was mentioned, quickly shook her head.

"I can't do it. Even if I understand what the sound is, using and operating it is another matter entirely."

"Then let's aim to be like Kyosuke-sama. If you can pick up any instrument right away, you'll be even more useful~"

"It looks really difficult, but I'll try my best."

"Keep it up! As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible!" Ritsu Tainaka encouraged him with a fist pump.

Ritsu's best friend and childhood friend, Mio Akiyama, seemed to have guessed some of her thoughts: "Ritsu must be thinking about having Yui help her out when she's feeling lazy."

Sigh, I give up.

Everyone performed so poorly just now. If I don't work harder, I'll have to go back to my old job.

No, Akiyama Mio suddenly realized that her friend Tainaka Ritsu might not care.

Absolutely not! She needs to supervise him closely!

The band's pay would be much better, and they shouldn't miss this great opportunity no matter how you look at it!

"Speaking of which, why did Kyosuke-sama choose bass?" Hirasawa Yui was more curious about another question.

She just saw that Kinnara was going to choose the bass, but it turned out that Kyosuke Kosaka wanted to play it himself.

Mio Akiyama, who also plays bass, was also very curious.

A soft voice sounded from behind Yui Hirasawa, explaining everyone's confusion:

"They probably wanted to urge me and Kiku-senpai on."

Eh? !

The group of people who were still chatting suddenly turned their heads and saw that Yamada Ryo and Hiroi Kikuri, who were sitting not far away, had already come over.

Both of them seemed to be joining in the fun.

It wasn't just the two of them; Kotobuki also came over. She planned to chat with Tainaka Ritsu, Akiyama Mio, and others she got along with, hoping to join their team.

"I don't usually slack off, haha."

Hiroi Kikuri scratched her head, but didn't dare to look at Kousaka Kyosuke, who was still adjusting his bass a little further away.

Su Chang glanced at Kousaka Kyosuke, then said to Hiroi Kikuri, "It's okay to slack off, too much pressure isn't good either."

"..."

Now, it was Toyokawa Shoko's turn to be speechless.

In her view, everyone in the band should strive for excellence and do their best, otherwise they will be eliminated by others sooner or later.

Therefore, how can you be lazy? You can't afford to be even the slightest bit negligent!

"The same goes for lights. If all else fails, we can set up a screen for you. That way, you won't see anyone else, which will make you less nervous and add a touch of mystery~"

Su Chang suddenly comforted Gao Songdeng, and as she spoke, she showed a satisfied smile, feeling that she had actually come up with such a good idea, she was truly a genius!

Hiroi Kikuri chuckled: "Poch-chan trained with everyone in a wooden box at the beginning."

She vaguely heard someone calling her name. Pochi looked cautiously at the area with many "strangers" and tried her best to pretend that she knew nothing.

Su Chang: "Using Boqi-chan as an example isn't a good idea."

Yamada Ryo rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.

"If Pochi knew that her experience could inspire others, she would definitely agree."

Hiroi Kikuri: "Yeah, haha."

Gao Songdeng hurriedly shook his head: "There's no need for that, no need for that. I will try my best to change, and I will never make the same mistake again..."

She's just an ordinary girl and doesn't deserve such gentle treatment.

The mistake she just made was enough to disqualify her from being human—sorry, she never really had any right to be human.

She will never be a burden to everyone again!

"Take your time, if it really doesn't work, just sing by yourself. To be honest, you sound pretty good when you sing by yourself."

"……one person?!"

"Let's keep it up! First, let's work on our teamwork together!"

Noticing something amiss with Gao Songdeng, Su Chang patted her shoulders lightly with both hands and encouraged her with a smile.

Suddenly snapping back to reality, Gao Songdeng looked on with gratitude: "...Lady Sushang, thank you for your encouragement."

Su Chang let go of her hand, and a brighter smile appeared on her beautiful face.

"Yes, listen carefully to the music that Kyosuke-sama is playing."

"……OK."

Takamatsu Akari nodded slightly, carefully shifting her gaze to Kousaka Kyosuke.

Kyosuke Kousaka, who seemed to be still adjusting his bass, had a serious expression on his face.

In reality, Kyosuke Kosaka was observing his surroundings.

First, let's talk about Kotobuki. She seems to have quickly become close with Ritsu Tainaka, Mio Akiyama, Yui Hirasawa, and Azusa Nakano, who were originally supposed to be in the same group. There is no doubt that she will soon form a team with them.

Next is Toyokawa Shoko, who should have been a down-on-her-luck young lady who had already gone from extravagance to frugality in the modern world.

"Compared to the girls in K-On!, Shoko Toyokawa has a much heavier 'low pressure' around her, and the music keyboard she plays clearly has a similar style, which is quite different from the main characters in K-On!."

By the way.

Kyosuke Kousaka also created a musical keyboard, an instrument that can be used for both main melodies and accompaniment.

Previously, we learned from Yamada Ryo that PA-san knew about this, so we created it through everyone's efforts.

"And then there's Takamatsu Akari... This eccentric girl will eventually become withdrawn if she doesn't have teammates like Yui and Kikyo to support her, but there are probably no other MyGo members here."

Suddenly, Kyosuke Kosaka paused again.

Perhaps it's possible, but it's hard to say for sure. Ultimately, Kinnara selects members based on their talents.

Let's try to find them first. If we can get all the original members together, that would be a pretty good small goal.

—Kousaka Kyosuke didn't intend to add all these girls to his harem; he just wanted to satisfy a small personal wish.

Since this is the last music anime I'll ever watch, it's quite an accomplishment to have all the members together.

"Kyosuke, are you done yet?"

"All right."

Kousaka Kyosuke smiled in response to Kinnara's urging, his fingers resting on the strings in preparation for playing...
