Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

"I'll go ask around."

Su Chang ran over excitedly.

The movements were quite ordinary; he didn't use his usual agility as casually as he usually does. Otherwise, his lightning-like movements would have certainly frightened several girls.

He jogged up to Kinnara.

Su Chang asked, "How is it?"

"Alright, I'm encouraging everyone to give Kyosuke a great performance."

"Hmm... It doesn't matter whether it's lively or not, as long as everyone doesn't seem too tense. Kyosuke-sama is very easygoing, so I'm more worried about whether he might scare everyone."

"Don't worry, I'll give everyone courage right now."

Kinnara looked relaxed, and summoned the Mystic Symbol in his hand.

Su Chang scratched her head: "Shouldn't we show everyone's true level?"

"That's true. So, Xiangzi, Zhonglu, Mio, Wei, Zi, and Deng, are you confident?"

"Yes!!" the six girls exclaimed in unison.

The crisp sound was very loud.

The six girls who responded to Kinnara had different thoughts.

Shoko Toyokawa: "I must prove my worth! This is such a rare opportunity... I'm completely broken; I can only rely on myself!"

Takamatsu Akari: "Can I...? No, I can't let Shoko down again, I can't let everyone down!"

Ritsu Tainaka: "Lord Kinnara said that if I perform better, I'll get prettier clothes and more delicious food. There should be dessert, right?"

Mio Akiyama: "I can't be nervous, I can't be nervous, I absolutely can't be nervous! I can't let everyone down."

Yui Hirasawa: "If I work hard, I'll definitely get some treats! I'm going to earn a big piece of candy for Yui!"

Nakano Azusa: "Is everyone okay? You've only been learning for a short time, do you really have the ability to perform? No, I need to try to believe in everyone, and I also need to do my best!"

Each girl used her own way to control her panic, and then acted according to Kinnara's instructions.

Meanwhile, Kyosuke Kousaka and his group sat on one side, ready to listen.

Suddenly, Kousaka Kyosuke noticed something and raised a hand to attract Kinnara's attention.

"What's wrong, Kyosuke?"

"It seems like another group of guests has arrived."

"Huh... Oh! It's Xingge and the others! Great! They've arrived just in time!"

Kinnara looked towards a certain spot by the door, his joy barely concealed.

Before long, Kotobuki and all the band members, including Seika, Hiroi Kikuri, PA-san, Nijika, Yamada Ryo, Pochi-chan, and Kita Ikuyo, arrived!

The increased number of people made the atmosphere even more lively.

Xingge glanced at the group preparing to perform and murmured, "It seems we've come at the wrong time..."

"Hehe, you've come at just the right time." Hiroi Kikuri laughed happily.

She was just looking forward to testing her "competitors'" abilities when the opportunity suddenly presented itself.

“Look at the occasion!” Hoshika glared at Hiroi Kikuri. “We’re disturbing other people!”

She was aware of some of Hiroi Kikuri's thoughts.

However, it would be quite awkward if their actions affected the six people preparing to perform.

"It's okay, we can take the blame if you don't perform well."

PA-san said with a smile.

Hongxia whispered, "It's probably his first time performing, so it's understandable that he's nervous."

Hiroi Kikuri subconsciously turned her head to steal a glance at Kousaka Kyosuke.

"Perhaps we need to give courage to some people who go on stage. When I performed, I drank alcohol to relieve my nervousness..."

I never expected that I wouldn't be able to stop after that!

She no longer needed alcohol until a definite man appeared whom she could entrust the rest of her life to.

Even if the conditions are right, there's no need for alcohol anymore.

Nijika glared at Hiroi Kikuri with a dark expression: "Don't teach bad people!"

Kita Ikuyo chuckled dryly, "Kikuri-nee, none of the people preparing to perform seem like they can drink."

Yamada Ryo said slowly, "Anyone would be afraid when doing something for the first time."

Her gaze was mostly fixed on Akiyama Mio, who was holding the bass on stage.

From her expression and demeanor, Akiyama Mio exuded a rather obvious shyness, giving the impression that she didn't understand anything, but this did not make Yamada Ryo underestimate her in the slightest.

She knew that Kinnara was a deity.

They would naturally trust Kinara's judgment and therefore wouldn't underestimate Akiyama Mio because of her appearance.

"A girl with gray hair..."

Kotobuki's gaze was mostly focused on Takamatsu Akari, who was trembling slightly.

Actually, she was more interested in Ritsu Tainaka, Yui Hirasawa, Mio Akiyama, and Azusa Nakano. For some reason, Kotobuki felt that she would get along well with these girls.

"It's a bit like Pochi Sauce."

Upon hearing Kotobuki's words, Yamada Ryo's mouth moved without thinking.

Eh? !

When Boqi was called, she was completely bewildered. She wondered if she looked a lot like Takamatsu Akari.

"..." Kousaka Kyosuke, who was constantly listening to the people around him talking, almost laughed.

Does social anxiety immediately bring up Boqi Jiang?

"Alright! Let's begin—"

Kinnara didn't pay much attention to that. Seeing that everyone was seated comfortably, he signaled for them to begin playing.

"Is it really possible to develop excellent playing skills in a short period of time?"

Kyosuke Kosaka pondered the possibilities.

In reality, Kyosuke Kosaka's support for Kinara was not only about finding exceptionally talented young talents, but also stemmed from some other motive.

It is what I thought before, namely the power that Kinnara bestows upon believers.

As long as there are enough believers in Kinnara, her divine power will be stronger, and she will have ample power to bestow special powers upon believers with outstanding performance abilities.

Specifically, Kyosuke Kosaka did not go and inquire.

I just felt that I might have to do my part during this time.

—Yes, Kyosuke Kosaka also has a rather unique training method, a method that combines music and spiritual power, which includes abilities similar to those of Kinara.

Unfortunately, the laws of the world are different, and Kyosuke Kousaka also needs to be modified before he can be used by people.

Kyosuke Kousaka was at least the first test subject.

At present, it seems feasible.

By combining Kinnara's power with some of the powers he bestows, a highly effective band for treating psychological trauma can be created with an extremely high success rate.

In short, let's first see what Kinnara's judgment is like.

Humph~

bang bang bang~

The sounds of guitar, drums, and singing... express pure emotions.

Unfortunately, it seems like everyone's rhythm wasn't quite right, especially the singing.

The song is over.

The world became quiet.

Kinnara was bewildered and at a loss, just like a student who thought he would get a good score but found out that he actually failed.

Kyosuke Kosaka didn't let the awkward atmosphere continue, and spoke his mind without hesitation.

"I acknowledge your individual abilities, but your teamwork is lacking. You should all find suitable teammates."

"I! Kyosuke-sama! I want to team up with everyone!" Kotobuki suddenly interrupted Kousaka Kyosuke, her eyes filled with pleading and expectation.

“Tell Kinnara, I’ll just be a listener.”

"Tell me? Then I'll have to test your talent."

Immediately forgetting his students' less-than-ideal performance, he looked at Qinchui with a serious expression.

Qin Chui also said earnestly, "Please feel free to test me, Lord Kinnara!"

The atmosphere on the field heated up rapidly as Kousaka Kyosuke, Kotobuki, Kinnara, and the others spoke.
