A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2570: Chapter 1719: Let’s Start a Band (There’s Still Much to Do)_3

The heavy tones of the keyboard laid the cornerstone of the altar, while the elegance of the violin heralded a magnificent unveiling, both being essential. freewebnovёl.ƈom

Then came the guitar and bass—though if we don’t mention the bass, in most bands, the guitar is the core of the core, but in this band, its importance ranks only after the keyboard and violin, providing floral embellishments, while the gentle tones of the bass transform into a breeze that reaches the listeners’ ears.

"No drums? I remember bands usually have drums."

Duanmu Huai listened to the demo and curiously asked, while Fukawa Shoko shook her head.

"But doing that, the number of people wouldn’t be right."

The number of people wouldn’t be right? Keyboard, violin, guitar, bass, plus himself makes five people; adding one more won’t matter. There’s no law stating that a girl band can only have five members; so would having six cause an explosion? Speaking of which, didn’t your previous band of five blow up as well?

Of course, Duanmu Huai wouldn’t say this to Fukawa Shoko, as hearing it would surely get her agitated.

"Moreover, we’re not going the rock route, so the presence of drums is not that significant."

"Hmm..."

True, Hymn is inherently on a sacred and solemn path, turning it into rock would be absurd. Who would be responsible if Mecha Spirit went overboard because of it?

"I’ll play the keyboard."

Fukawa Shoko quickly moved on to the next part of her report.

"I’ll be responsible for finding the guitar and bass players, but I’m afraid the violinist will be quite challenging..."

"Let me ask around."

Duanmu Huai took out his phone and stepped aside, returning moments later.

"Alright, found a violinist, Chi Yin said she’s very good at it."

"Chi Yin? Is it Hei Chuan Chi Yin, the genius actor?"

Upon hearing Duanmu Huai’s response, Fukawa Shoko was somewhat surprised, she didn’t expect that she would also join the band. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Of course, if it were anyone else’s band, Hei Chuan Chi Yin wouldn’t participate, but Duanmu Huai...

"Then it’s decided."

Duanmu Huai glanced at his phone; actually, in his mind, Mary would be the top choice as a violinist, but since Mary wasn’t in this world, he had to settle for second best.

"Then, three days later, let’s meet at the recording studio for the first rehearsal!"

He promptly made the decision.

Swift action is vital.

Finding new members proceeded quickly, and Fukawa Shoko soon found the guitar and bass players, as for the drummer, she once recommended a streamer called Meow Dream Kin to Duanmu Huai, but Duanmu Huai outright rejected it.

"That woman won’t work, looks like nothing but a troublesome idiot."

So in the end, plans to include a drummer in the band were scrapped; three days later, in the recording studio, Duanmu Huai met the other band members.

The guitar was a familiar face—Ruoya Mu, and seeing her appear genuinely surprised Duanmu Huai a bit. After all, in his impression, Ruoya Mu was the type of introverted girl who didn’t like to talk, and the fact she could play guitar was quite unimaginable to him.

Who knows if Ruoya Mu can play the guitar with her teeth as a Divine Skill.

As for the other member...

"I’m Yahata Miru."

The girl who appeared before Duanmu Huai and the others was calm and expressionless.

"Currently, I’m probably juggling thirty bands, please give me your guidance—but actually, only ten or so are still active."

"???"

Duanmu Huai’s face was a total blank as he glanced at Yahata Miru, then at Fukawa Shoko—really, you brought someone who can say, ’I’ve treated thirty patients, and now only ten are alive’? Is there no problem with that?

"Yahata’s skills are reliable."

Fine, if you say it’s real, I’ll listen to you as if it’s real.

"I’m Duanmu Huai, and this is Hei Chuan Chi Yin, nice to meet you."

Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin greeted the two, strictly speaking, out of the five of them, only Yahata Miru was an outsider, the others all knew each other. But as for the bass... whether it’s there or not doesn’t make much difference, and Yahata Miru didn’t seem to care about such matters, which is probably the reason she can juggle thirty bands.

"Also, I’ve set up a background."

"???"

Seeing Fukawa Shoko enthusiastically taking out a notebook, Duanmu Huai suddenly felt a rather bad premonition.

"I believe, since everyone is showing a mask, why don’t we just use different backgrounds and code names? I set it up like this..."

Listening to Fukawa Shoko’s enthusiastic explanation, Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin exchanged blank looks. In short, Fukawa Shoko had established a world view where they were all abandoned puppets who then obtained souls, with the concert as an invitation for the audience to join a banquet and such... she even suggested incorporating Duanmu Huai and Hei Chuan Chi Yin’s acting skills by slotting in a few short skits...

No, this is too over-the-top!

Though when performing the Tokyo Blade stage play, it was also quite excessive, but that’s inherently a 2.5D adaptation of an anime, over-the-top is expected.

But right now, this band is actually theirs!

And Fukawa Shoko even gave everyone code names, like Oblivionis, Timoris, and other gibberish... it’s making Duanmu Huai’s skin crawl!

Frankly, is this a LIVE performance, or a stage play?

Really didn’t see this before, this young lady has such an over-the-top side...

Facing Fukawa Shoko’s enthusiastic explanation, Duanmu Huai sighed silently.

"Let’s start practicing; as for your setting... let’s talk about it later."

If possible, he wouldn’t want to talk about it at all.
