Shinichi Iwahashi walked over and picked up the earpiece, "Hello." ”

As a result, from the other end of the phone, a somewhat unexpected and long-lost voice came, "Yo, Iwahashi." Good evening. ”

The caller was Akihito Takeuchi.

"Takeuchi-san. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi didn't expect it to be him. Since introducing himself to dance with Mimi Club, Shinichi Iwahashi hasn't seen him again. Later, he resigned from the Odyssey, let alone saw his former guests again.

"I've been busy with school for a while, and I haven't been able to go anywhere. Akihito Takeuchi said.

"I went to the Odyssey tonight, I thought I would see you. As a result, I heard from the ladies there that you went to live with the girls who sang jazz in the store. ”

Speaking of this, Akihito Takeuchi smiled evilly, "People can't look good." ”

When Iwahashi heard this, the corners of his forehead twitched, "How can there be such a thing." ”

Gossip is such a thing, as long as it spreads, any version can be spread.

"So, is it fake?"

"Fake, of course. Iwahashi explained the ins and outs of the matter in succinct terms. Akihito Takeuchi heard this, and shouted a few times: "Trouble", and then smiled: "You are really unlucky." ”

"I think it's okay. It may be said that now, he is full of energy on the road of music, and on the other hand, he feels that it may be a good thing to leave the Odyssey in the first place.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't stay at the Odyssey, he might still be working there as a waiter. Although changing the trajectory does not mean that he will rise to prominence, there is no doubt that this incident has given him the opportunity to change.

"And what are you doing now?"

"I was working as an agent and formed a band. Shinichi Iwahashi went on to explain.

"That's not even a two-house amphibious—" Akihito Takeuchi blurted out.

Iwahashi Shinichi was speechless, "That's the same thing. ”

"Okay. Akihito Takeuchi didn't end his jokes on this. However, I still think it's incredible, "Just for that girl to sing well, so you made her an agent and formed a band with her?"

"It sounds outrageous, but that's exactly what it is. ”

Diving headlong for such a reason can be puzzling. Instead of explaining too much, let him see. As soon as Iwahashi thought of this, he simply invited him:

"Our band now has regular performances every week, so if Takeuchi-san is interested, he might as well check it out. ”

"It's going to be a regular show so soon? Akihito Takeuchi said, "Please let me take a look." ”

So, Shinichi Iwahashi told him the location of the LIVEHOUSE and their performance times.

The next Friday night, Akihito Takeuchi didn't say hello beforehand, and he really brought his friends to the party. However, this matter will not be known until after the end of the performance, and Iwahashi Shinichi.

Nowadays, although they are a new and unknown band, although they come to perform regularly on the premise of obtaining the approval of the person in charge, they also need to be recognized by the band that performs here, so that they can successfully establish themselves here.

As a colleague, no one in the band performing on the same stage will ask anyone for trouble, but the atmosphere in the air can be perceived. For bands that haven't managed to gain recognition, the atmosphere backstage isn't so good.

But not hostility, but disregard.

For this, Shinichi Iwahashi and Miwa Yoshida really feel and know it, and at the same time, they clearly know that if they want to solve all this, the only way is to perform hard.

When this state can be lifted depends on their own abilities.

Therefore, whenever the performance is on stage, the two of them have a competitive mentality, do not reserve their strength to perform, and rely on their own efforts to gain recognition.

After the performance, he went home, and the next morning, he received a call from Akihito Takeuchi and learned that he had gone to the show last night.

"I was taken aback by you. Akihito Takeuchi said on the other end of the phone, "Compared to when I was in the Odyssey, I feel like a different person, but how to say, my aura has changed." ”

"It's such an exaggeration. Iwahashi smiled.

"You also found the place to perform as an agent?" After seeing the performance, Akihito Takeuchi stopped treating it as a child's play as he did at the beginning, and became much more serious.

Shinichi Iwahashi replied "yes".

Akihito Takeuchi said: "I didn't know that you still had such skills, but in the future, I will be impressed by you." ”

"I didn't expect this beforehand. Iwahashi said.

At first, he casually talked about the piano sound, then helped Miwa Yoshida out of kindness, and then gambled to be her agent, and now he has started a band with her.

The rapid changes in this period of time made Iwahashi Shinichi feel that he had not only changed the track, but also changed the way of survival, from a tram on land to a boat with an uncertain trajectory in the water.

What will happen in the future, and where the ship will go, is unknown.

"It's called opportunity. Akihito Takeuchi said that.

Shinichi Iwahashi also thinks the word "opportunity" is a wonderful use here.

——

December, the last month of the year, is the month of the summary. Businesses need to prepare receptions, stores need promotions, and singers and artists are needed everywhere.

In this way, taking advantage of the year-end month, the two of them have done a lot of work in this area.

Tomineshima's blessing – or rather, in return for his free maid on call, introduces Shinichi Iwahashi to this method of making money.

THIS JOB IS BORING ENOUGH, IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM PERFORMING IN A LIVEHOUSE, THE MUSIC IS NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER, SINGING IS JUST A PART OF THE SET HERE, DOING THIS WILL NOT ACCUMULATE ANY POPULARITY, BUT THE ADVANTAGE IS THAT YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEY THAN SINGING IN A LIVEHOUSE. In Tokyo, you really die without money.

Quan Dang went to the countryside three times.

The pot friend in the tree, the pot friend in the field, the pot friend on the tractor, I say HI, you say LOW~

On Christmas Day, LIVEHOUSE arranged an event. The person in charge asked Shinichi Iwahashi if their band would like to prepare some records to sell as well.

Shinichi Iwahashi went to Miwa Yoshida, and the two discussed selecting six of her original songs from the ones they had compiled before to make a mini album. It was the first time to participate in such a serious work as the selection of a record, and Miwa Yoshida was highly concentrated and excited, as if she was preparing for her debut album now.

Although the reality is that only 100 copies of this mini-album were made for fear of not selling.

However, unexpectedly, after entering the sales of goods that night, the 100 copies of the record were sold out immediately.

The situation was so good, Miwa Yoshida secretly said to him: "If I knew this, I would have printed two hundred copies." ”

"Three hundred copies will be printed next time. ”

"Can you get three hundred people into the venue?" said Miwa Yoshida, skeptical.

"Leave the audience with the margin to buy one for yourself and bring one for a friend. Iwahashi replied earnestly.

Listening to his high talk, Miwa Yoshida laughed hard.

After the show ended, the female fans who came out of the backstage and waited outside on a special trip, and when they saw the two of them, they shouted, "Shen Yisan!

Iwahashi Shinichi looked at Miwa Yoshida, who pouted at him with a look of "please".

The band has only been performing in LIVEHOUSE for a month, and just a few iron fans who are willing not to find a boyfriend on a cold day but wait here to be frozen, Iwahashi Shinichi also showed a spirit of service and greeted them: "Merry Christmas, thank you for today." ”

Miwa Yoshida also smiled, "Merry Christmas, hard work." ”

"I bought the record!"

"Please print more next time. ”

After chatting for a few days, the two said goodbye to them and left together.

After walking a little farther, Miwa Yoshida made fun of him again, "Teaming up with me, will it get in the way of your business? ”

"Spare me on Christmas Eve. ”

Miwa Yoshida smiled, "Don't be so pitiful. ”

"Rest assured, you'll never get in the way. Iwahashi Shinichi made a serious look, "If we're just partners, what I do definitely has nothing to do with you." Even if I have something to do with you—"

He added unhurriedly: "Wouldn't it be more enjoyable to take her boyfriend away in front of the main one." ”

"It's terrifying!" shouted Miwa Yoshida, "Shin Ich-san has such terrifying thoughts. From this terrible thought, I saw Shen Yisang's terrible view of love. ”

"Deliberately, right?" Iwahashi glanced at her. I thought that it was because of teaming up with a girl like her that people would not be able to associate them with a relationship like two people anyway.

At this time, Miwa Yoshida seemed to remember, took out a record from her bag, and handed it to him, "Christmas present, Shin Yi-san." ”

Iwahashi Shinichi took it.,It's Yamashitoro's "クリスマス·イブ", and a ribbon is solemnly tied on it.,Although the bow is a little crooked.。

"You must have tied it yourself. Iwahashi smiled at her, "Wouldn't it be nice to ask the clerk to help you." ”

The smile on Miwa Yoshida's face gradually disappeared, and she reached over, "If you don't want to, I'll take it back." ”

"Yes, how not. Shinichi Iwahashi dodged her hand and smiled, "Thank you, although I didn't have anything for you." ”

"Then please prepare two gifts for me next Christmas Eve. ”

"How can you be so careful......" Iwahashi joked.

"I'm serious. Miwa Yoshida's expression suddenly became serious.

Shinichi Iwahashi was stunned.

"Next year's Christmas Eve, let's finish the show together and exchange gifts. She said, "You have to prepare your share with this year." ”

“...... Good. "This time, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't have a poor mouth.

He understood what she meant, what she was actually trying to say was-

"In the new year, please continue to advise. Shinichi Iwahashi said to her.
