Whether it's an underground idol or an underground band, what's the use if no one knows about it?
Practicing at his house all day, Aki Tomoya didn't want to comment on Hyodo Michiru's skill because he didn't consider himself a professional musician, but at least she should talk about her plans.
Aki Tomoya didn't want to be labeled an accomplice after Hyodo Michiru's runaway and hiding here were exposed.
"An underground band, without even a place to perform, is it really just for your own amusement?"
Aki Tomoya felt worried about Hyodo Michiru's current situation.
He really wanted to take Hyodo Michiru to see the plight of those true underground idols and underground bands, most of whom had the same dream as her.
"If it's just for your own amusement, you can do that at home, right?"
Aki Tomoya still wanted to persuade Hyodo Michiru to go home.
Without a concrete plan, just having enthusiasm, you really can't accomplish anything.
Pursuing a music dream without knowing when a patron will appear, it's better to go home, think everything through, and then talk about it.
"You haven't fully planned it out, have you?"
After saying that, Aki Tomoya sighed heavily.
Hyodo Michiru has a goal, but what about a concrete plan?
Can I just practice every day and sing a couple of lines?
Hyodo Michiru listened to Aki Tomoya's words, puffing out her cheeks and unable to speak.
After disagreeing with her family and running away from home, her concrete plan seemed to be just having Aki Tomoya be her music manager.
But this was based on the assumption that Aki Tomoya wasn't studying for exams.
Now that it was confirmed that Aki Tomoya was preparing for the National University Corporation entrance exam, and as he himself said, he wasn't a professional musician and couldn't provide much help due to his limited abilities.
Hyodo Michiru was well aware of all this.
Aki Tomoya looked up and happened to see the unwillingness flickering in Hyodo Michiru's eyes. He couldn't help but laugh and say, "What do you have to be unwilling about?"
"Being attacked by A Lun..."
Hyodo Michiru muttered softly.
After escaping here, she originally thought it would be a dreamlike reunion, but all she got was a blow from reality.
Facing Aki Tomoya, who had thoroughly analyzed her current situation, Hyodo Michiru had no confidence whatsoever.
"If I go back without achieving anything, won't my dad laugh at me?!"
Just then, Hyodo Michiru said indignantly.
She put down the guitar in her hand and lay back directly on the bed.
After arguing and running away here, her family didn't seem to care, and they hadn't called to ask about her.
Going back now and admitting she was wrong was not what Hyodo Michiru had originally intended.
"I'm serious!"
Hyodo Michiru shouted at the ceiling.
Her tone was incredibly firm and serious.
But if dreams could be achieved just by shouting a couple of lines, Aki Tomoya wouldn't need to go to the Academy.
Looking at the somewhat stubborn expression on her face at that moment, Aki Tomoya couldn't help but laugh.
"Your tone sounds serious, but no plan is no plan. You don't even have a way to become an underground idol in Akihabara. Are you going to take your friends to perform on the street?"
Aki Tomoya hadn't forgotten that Hyodo Michiru had mentioned that her band members were all high school girls.
A group of high school girls, even if they auditioned for AKB or Nogizaka, they didn't know if they would be chosen.
He only heard Hyodo Michiru say she wanted to pursue her music dream.
"If I could perform, I would have gone long ago!"
Hyodo Michiru retorted in a matter-of-fact tone.
If you can perform, who wouldn't want to?
But what if you don't have connections or resources?
"So, you can't even get a decent performance. Isn't that just entertaining yourself?"
"I told you, it's not just entertaining myself!"
Hyodo Michiru rolled on the bed in anger. Her mind was already chaotic enough, and she couldn't bear Aki Tomoya's series of blows.
After burying her head in the quilt, Hyodo Michiru felt a little discouraged.
Putting all the problems in front of her and looking at them one by one, her head was about to explode.
Pursuing a music dream is not that simple.
"What should I do?"
Hyodo Michiru turned over and murmured in confusion.
And Aki Tomoya couldn't help but laugh and say, "Being an underground idol might even make money. It's very hard to work part-time and pursue your dream like others."
Hyodo Michiru, a rock underground idol in Akihabara?
It sounds pretty good.
If she really became like that one day, Aki Tomoya would definitely go and support her.
However, if she really had the talent for music and a strong will, Aki Tomoya still hoped she could sign with an agency based on her talent, preferably a legitimate one.
Otherwise, Aki Tomoya still hoped his childhood friend would suffer less.
For a girl who graduated from a prefectural high school with a somewhat low average deviation score, if she didn't want to wait to get married, doing something she wanted to do was indeed a good choice.
"I said it's an underground band, not an underground idol. A band is a band, and an idol is an idol."
When Hyodo Michiru refuted this point again, she was already somewhat weak.
Compared to being an idol herself, Hyodo Michiru still hoped that others would appreciate her music.
"A Lun, don't attack me anymore. Besides, whether it's being an underground idol or an underground band, the first step is not easy. Sigh!"
Hyodo Michiru sighed heavily after saying this.
First of all, there's the opportunity. Now she doesn't even have a chance to prove herself. Does she really have to perform on the street with her band and beg for good luck to be discovered by a talent scout?
"There's not necessarily no opportunity."
Aki Tomoya said at this moment.
The moment his words fell, Hyodo Michiru's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, "I knew you wouldn't abandon me! So, hurry up and use your National University Corporation studying brain to think for me! Please!"
She put her hands together and sat up on the bed, solemnly requesting Aki Tomoya.
Now she could only place her hope on Aki Tomoya, whose mind seemed much better now.
Unwilling to go home like this, and wanting to stick to her dream, Hyodo Michiru already felt cornered.
Looking at her placing her hope on him, Aki Tomoya rolled his eyes and replied irritably, "I really got stuck with a troublesome relative!"
"Don't say that. For the sake of our friendship, give me some advice!"
Hyodo Michiru stuck out her tongue playfully and at the same time awkwardly scratched her head.
"Besides, I won't let A Lun give me advice for free! For example, I can also give A Lun..."
"No thanks! You just need to promise me that if I help you get one performance, you will go home and report to Uncle, then I will help you!"
