Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Ryo Yamada: "This doesn't fit our personality. Their songs are cute and adorable, while we are obviously not like them. If we were really like them, I would definitely be doomed."

Xingge glared at Yamada Ryo through gritted teeth.

"I have never seen a woman who is self-critical about her appearance."

To Hoshika, Yamada Ryo was practically pointing at her and saying she wasn't cute at all, which was absolutely unacceptable!

When Yamada Ryo saw Hoshigo looking at him unhappily, he was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly revealed a confident smile.

"Of course I'm not cute, I'm very handsome~"

"Yeah! Ryo-senpai is so cool!" Kita Ikuyo cheered excitedly.

Hongxia was both angry and amused: "What about us?"

"We're just as handsome! None of us need to be cute; being handsome is the defining style of our Bond Band!"

PA-san laughed: "We rock musicians need to be this cool."

"Agreed, agreed!" Hiroi Kikuri laughed heartily.

"They're emphasizing individuality again..." Hongxia muttered, then whispered to the silent Pochi-chan beside her, "Pochi-chan, what do you think?"

"Anything is fine."

Feeling it wasn't appropriate for Boqi to get involved, she hung her head and spoke vaguely.

She always felt that if she said something incorrectly, it would definitely make the situation worse, and it would be bad if everyone started arguing and sticking to their own opinions.

Boqi-chan hopes that the team can always be this united and harmonious, just like the team name.

"After we finish eating and rest for another 15 minutes, we'll head to the commercial district for our performance," Xingge said, raising her voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone else responded in unison, and even Boqi-chan spoke much louder than usual.

The slightly imposing sound of the Bond Band attracted the attention of some people.

The one who is of most interest is Toyokawa Shoko.

She felt that this team was her biggest competitor.

As for the other individuals, Toyokawa Shoko didn't pay much attention to them.

Like her good friend, Mitsuka, who is quite skilled at playing the guitar and also knows how to write lyrics and compose music, but because she can't find a suitable teammate, she simply performs alone.

Going it alone like this may be very liberating, but without other accompaniment, it always lacks a certain influence.

In fact, Toyokawa Shoko just wanted to do her best so that everyone could have a place to stay.

She wants to fulfill her promise to everyone—to be in a band for life.

To fulfill this promise, the best we can do is to do our best.

"Many monsters have become our fans, which is quite amazing when you think about it," Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly said with a smile, bringing up another topic.

The group was still eating. Since the Mingchu Band didn't have any performances today, they were able to eat at their leisure.

"The sachet given by the butterfly spirit is beautiful and smells wonderful." Takamatsu thought of a monster fan who left a deep impression on her.

"That is the monster that guides lost people in dreams."

Chihaya Aine quickly explained to the others.

Outsiders who come to the manor, whether human or monster, are all vetted and pose little danger, so most people are not so afraid of monsters.

Chihaya Aine, who manages the trivial tasks for the Naruto and Hinata band, has also taken the initiative to inquire about most of the yokai.

Hoping to become a band member and gain popularity, she currently plans to secure her current position while secretly honing her guitar skills.

Even though the world was changing, she did not change her goal.

“I have seen the Butterfly Fairy’s performance. She sings and dances while shaking a tambourine, which is quite physically demanding. There are quite a few spectators, but she would be more popular if she had some nicer songs.”

It was rare for Shiina Tatsuki, who is serious and rarely smiles, to speak for several minutes.

"Shalala? Salala?"

Huh? !

The members of the Naruto Band were all astonished.

Because the person who imitated the butterfly spirit's song was actually the usually taciturn and sparing of words, Wakaba Mutsumi.

At this moment, she tilted her head slightly and began to speak in a monotone manner.

"Is it broken?" Shiina Tatsuki asked in confusion.

"He was probably just imitating it for us all," Nagasaki Motoyo said uncertainly, but she still considerately tested the temperature of Wakaba Mutsumi's forehead with the back of her hand. Only after finding that it wasn't hot did she breathe a sigh of relief.

"I think... the butterfly fairy is very cute."

Takamatsu Akari, seemingly unsurprised by Wakaba Mutsumi's actions, continued the previous conversation.

Toyokawa Shoko had a sudden thought: "How about writing a song for her?"

"We need to consult the butterfly spirit about this."

Gao Songdeng's eyes lit up.

She really thought the butterfly fairy was so cute, even if all she could sing was "Shalala", she was still incredibly adorable!

"It seems quite interesting," Nagasaki Motoyo smiled, probably understanding why Toyokawa Shoko was doing this.

Looking up now, it feels like the end of the world is just around the corner. If we were to play some sad songs, it would be inappropriate for the occasion.

Therefore, it would be more appropriate to create a more lively song based on the lively butterfly spirit.

The songs in the Naru-Hina Band are written by Akari Takamatsu and composed by Shoko Toyokawa. Akari Takamatsu always manages to write unique lyrics, and Shoko Toyokawa is able to compose a perfectly matching melody for Akari Takamatsu's lyrics. Finally, Akari Takamatsu sings the songs, and their collaboration is truly seamless.

That's why the Naruto Band was able to be welcomed by everyone as soon as they appeared.

Replace sincerity with sincerity.

Gao Songdeng's singing expresses her true feelings, and anyone with a sensitive heart will be able to relate.

In short, the Naru-Hina Band is invincible!

"Butterfly spirits usually appear around noon," Chihaya Aine reminded her again, her heart filled with bitterness.

Seeing how confident everyone in the Naru-Hina band was, and how they were becoming more and more popular, she really wanted to join. However, as she got to know Toyokawa Shoko's personality better, she never even considered mentioning it.

"Letting someone who can't even play a slightly complex piece join the band is tantamount to dragging the entire band into an abyss. I don't think I have that kind of nerve..."

Well, you need to have some technical skills to make demands; that's just common sense in the world.

She cheered him on again.

The focus then shifts to the light music band led by [name omitted].

Having finished their meal, they went to the training ground to prepare for training.

Of course, since they had just eaten, they were all taking a walk.

"Mio, don't be so scared. If you look at snakes for a while, they won't seem so scary anymore. I heard snake meat tastes like chicken!"

"what?!"

"Ritsu-senpai, please don't make such outrageous jokes about Mio-senpai!"

"...Hey, I almost ate snake meat before. One day I was so hungry, and a friend of mine happened to catch a snake. She asked a chef who knew how to cook snake dishes to cook it and even asked me if I wanted to eat it. I almost couldn't resist the temptation."

Ritsu Tainaka said it in a nonchalant tone.

Tears streamed down Akiyama Mio's face; she was terrified!

Nakano Azusa, who had wanted to advise Tainaka Ritsu, was petrified, completely dumbfounded, and unable to utter a word for a moment.

"...Snakes are scary, Ritsu, are you...you...you're serious?" Hirasawa Yui stammered.

Ritsu Tainaka waved his hand and said, "Didn't I say I didn't eat it? After all, I still find snakes a bit scary. But don't worry, people who ate snake meat are still full of energy."

Kotobuki, who wasn't too scared, provided further explanation for Tainaka Ritsu.

"What Lu means is that snakes are nothing to be afraid of, especially since the manor has a great barrier that was not broken even when the siren invaded, so it can be said to be very safe."

Mio Akiyama tried her best to suppress her inner fear and quickly regained her usual calm.

"That's right! I can't be easily intimidated! I still want to go on stage and perform with everyone!"

"Mio-senpai, let's do our best together!"

Nakano Azusa was also encouraged, and she immediately felt her courage grow to an incredible degree!

"Alright!" Akiyama Mio's courage level increased again.

Kotobuki was overjoyed to see this.

"Well~" Seeing the atmosphere getting lively, Ritsu Tainaka couldn't help but show a hearty smile, and then changed the subject, "I suddenly thought of the increasingly cool outfits of other bands, should we follow suit?"

Mio Akiyama frowned: "Our band doesn't seem to need too strong a personality."

Ritsu Tainaka pouted and said, "Really? We've all rocked out, just not with as much heavy metal as the Bond Band."

Their band is called Light Music Band, but they don't actually fulfill the obligation of playing light music; their songs contain many rock elements.

The band's name means "to play with a relaxed mindset," which is why it's called Light Music.
