Chapter 2 Love in the New Town?

"Is there really a non-human alien race on this planet?"

In between rehearsals for the band, when Ryan asked his teammates the question, he got a consistent look.

"Isn't that obvious?"

The band's drummer and manager, Yamada-senpai, rolled his eyes angrily.

"Not to mention the documents decrypted by TPC, can't you understand what happened during this time?"

"Giants, monsters, which of these is not a creature other than humans?"

Hearing Yamada-senpai say this, the keyboard player on the side immediately took over the topic and said.

"Senior, did you forget again?"

"Ryan is a man who doesn't have any memories of the past, and he doesn't like to play with his phone."

Although it seems that he is clearing the siege for Ryan on the surface, Ryan can feel the unwillingness and jealousy hidden in his teammate's heart, as well as the intention to see some jokes.

If it weren't for Maya's forced request for Ryan to join the team, Ryan also showed an amazing talent for musical instruments.

There is absolutely no way for these teammates to accept an amnesiac amateur into their team.

Not to mention, Ryan is also the co-guitarist of the entire band, and in the event of an accident for Maya, he can directly replace the other party as the backup person for the lead singer.

"Whether it's a monster or a giant, they all appear alone......"

"From normal logic, we can't see them as a whole race."

"As for the alien race decrypted by TPC?"

"We haven't seen a real entity yet."

Instead of taking his teammates' rejection to heart, Ryan showed his usual big-heartedness and abruptness.

Because if he were to be himself, Ryan didn't want to be a complete stranger to join the band he had worked so hard to build.

Not to mention, the peers in this band more or less regard Maya as a goddess in their hearts.

With such a strong competitor popping up all of a sudden, and Maya seems to be particularly fond of it, it's no wonder that they are so repulsive.

"We can't answer this kind of question if you ask it."

First glared at the keyboardist viciously, Yamada-senpai turned his head and smiled helplessly at Ryan.

"Actually, if you really want to know, you can ask the new city of the victory team."

"If I'm not mistaken, it seems like today is the day when Xincheng came to see our band sing, right?"

Despite the busy schedule of the Victory Team, Metro still regularly finds time to watch the band perform.

Or rather, Metro came to watch the Maya sing.

In front of a person with a lot of experience like Yamada, the little bit of caution in Shinjo can't be hidden at all.

"New Town?"

Frowning slightly, Ryan remembered what he had just forgotten.

"I'm sorry, I have something to go out for a while, so I won't be there for the next rehearsal."

Hurriedly putting down the guitar in his hand, Ryan turned around and walked outside.

"You're going in the wrong direction, Maya is at the bar now."

Smiling and shaking his head, Yamada looked at Ryan's departing back and couldn't help but remind in a loud voice.

"If you move fast enough, you should be able to stop her from meeting Xincheng."

As soon as these words came out, Ryan's speed increased.

He was still in a brisk walking state, but now he almost ran in the direction of the bar in a running attitude.

"Senior ......"

Glancing at Ryan with a little dissatisfaction, the keyboardist was about to say something when he was glared back again by Yamada.

"I know what you're trying to say, but you're not qualified."

"Maya is the child I watched grow up, and I know her character."

"Since she has a crush on Xincheng and Ryan, I naturally have to create opportunities for them."

"As for you?"

"Don't be a toad and want to eat swan meat."

It is different from the elder posture shown in front of Maya and Ryan.

Yamada's attitude towards the rest of the band is clearly more like that of an agent.

It's not surprising to think about it, after all, this is a strongman who single-handedly formed a famous band in order to realize Maya's dream.

It's not very nice to say, but if Yamada wants to make a change, the band's keyboard division will definitely not stay here until the next day.

In fact, this is the fundamental reason why so many people in the band are dissatisfied with Ryan's sudden joining, but still can't stop him from joining the band.

In this band, Maya is the undisputed core, and Yamada is the one behind the scenes that eliminates all distractions.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

At the same time, in the bar where the band often sings.

Maya, who had come to survey the site in advance, was chatting happily with Xincheng, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Everything has been taken care of on the Victory team's side?"

Some surprised, some delighted......

Maya's affection for the new city is basically obvious to anyone.

Since the "Ligadelon Incident", Xincheng was rescued by Maya, the two sides have quickly gone from strangers to acquaintances.

On the one hand, of course, thanks to Maya's care for the new city.

On the other hand, it is because of the inexplicable affection for Maya in the heart of Xincheng.

It's like your own family, and it's like a close friend......

From the first time he saw Maya, Xincheng felt as if he had seen his long-lost family, and instinctively wanted to care for and take care of this girl who was about the same age as his sister.

And Maya, who has always behaved very coldly in front of outsiders, does not hide her willfulness and shyness here in the new city.

"It's been dealt with, it's just a matter of formalities for returning to the team."

Smiling and spreading his hands, Xincheng raised his eyebrows rather conceitedly.

Forcibly withdrawing from the plan of the "qualified" is indeed a bit of a problem for the new city.

But I don't know why, as the direct person in charge of the whole plan, Keigo Masaki didn't embarrass Xincheng at this point, but released him very happily.

As for the top brass inside TPC?

Despite their reluctance, they choose to compromise with the Victory Team when they learn that Metro has lost all of their memories from the Qualified Candidate Project.

Their only requirement was that Shinshin sign a non-disclosure agreement to prevent other victorious players other than Megumi and Munakata from knowing about the existence of the "Qualified Person Project".

In this regard, Xincheng, which had been expected for a long time, naturally readily agreed.

In a sense, this so-called non-disclosure agreement is not so much for the sake of secrecy as it is more like a venting clause after some kind of compromise.

Thanks to this, Xincheng finally returned to the victory team again after more than a month of returning to the team.

And today, it was his first vacation since returning to the Victory team.
