Chapter 152 Give Your Heart!
Yukino Yukinoshita: "Hello, Ryo-senpai, what's with this sudden outdoor performance? Are you thinking of forming a band?"
Uchiha Ryo packed up the guitar that the Shinomiya family had given him. "No, I was just helping someone out as a classmate and friend."
Yukino stepped forward and put her arm around Uchiha Ryo's shoulder.
"I see... Junior Ling is really kind. In that case... why don't you help your older sister out?"
Uchiha Ryo replied casually, "If I can do it, I'll consider it."
"How about you deliver something to Yukino for me?"
Uchiha Ryo: "Give her a gift? Why don't you just go to her in person? Why do you make me do it?"
Yukino sighed, "You know we sisters have a little bit of a disagreement, and Yukino doesn't really talk to me, so she probably won't accept anything I give her. That's why I asked you to give it to him!"
"Giving gifts is fine, but what would you like me to give to Yukino-san, Yukino-senpai?"
Yukino Yukino tapped Uchiha Ryo's chest.
"Is my heart... okay?"
Uchiha Ryo: "If you're just joking, then forget it. Our outdoor performance is over, let's head back to Starry Night."
"Haha, well~ Ling-kun isn't funny at all, but as a student of Shuchiin Academy, haven't you heard of him at all?"
The unique cultural festival of Shuchiwon Academy is called the Bonshin Festival... and offering one's heart represents eternal love.
Uchiha Ryo looked at Yukinoshita Haruno speechlessly, "You want to have eternal love with your sister? Yukinoshita-senpai, I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."
Yukino's eye twitched, so I can't be the one to deliver this!
"Ahem, anyway, Junior Ling, would you like to deliver this for me?"
Uchiha Ryo did not agree, but he did not refuse outright either. Shuchiin Academy only had a few activities each semester: first the sports festival, then the student council election, summer vacation, cultural festival, school trip, and winter vacation.
In other words, the "Hoshin Festival" that Yukino Yukino mentioned will have to wait at least two more months, and who can say for sure what will happen two months from now?
Inside the Starlight Bar, Little Lonely walked over with her guitar in front of Ijichi Nijika and Kita, who were looking at her with disbelief.
"No way! Little Lonely actually attracted more than a dozen audience members? And they even sold all the tickets."
Yamada Ryo nodded. "In that case, we should be close to meeting our performance targets for the first show, right?"
Kita Ikuyo suddenly came to Hayasaka Ai's side, "Thanks to Hayasaka-san for inviting the friends from Shuchiin, we've already sold more than thirty tickets for the first time."
Little Lonely looked expectantly at the other members of the Bond Band. The four of them had finally seen the results of their hard work over this period of time!
Hayasaka Ai: "Well... I don't really want to dampen your morale, but you'd better check the weather forecast."
The performance is the day after tomorrow, and it seems a typhoon is going to make landfall in the Tokyo area... which means there probably won't be many people braving the typhoon to come.
Nijika Ichichi, Ikuyo Kita, and Kotori: "Eh!!"
Yamada Ryo: "...Want to make a teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu)?"
Ichiji Nijika: "Well, we'll have to do it! I hope the typhoon won't come the day after tomorrow!"
Kato Megumi patted the lonely boy on the shoulder, "It's okay, even if it rains, I'll still come to see your performance."
On the other side, the shop manager was pouring drinks for Hiratsuka Shizuka and Yukinoshita Haruno.
"This happened on their first band performance... I hope they can pull through."
Yukino sighed, "I understand, I understand. It's like preparing for a performance for a long time, but not many people pay attention. If you see the sparse number of people in the audience, you probably won't feel good."
Hiratsuka Shizuka put down her glass. "Didn't you sell all the tickets? Even if the audience doesn't come, you've still made money. Relax... you're not losing anything."
Hoshino Ichichi rolled her eyes at Shizuka Hiratsuka. "What new bands like them need isn't money, but popularity and recognition. No matter how their first performance goes, it's inevitable that they'll be disappointed if they can't even get a few audience members."
Young girls cheered them on, while adult women discussed whether the typhoon would destroy the small band. In a corner, a white cat jumped onto Uchiha Ryo's shoulder.
Yanyunjiang: "Can you help me?"
Uchiha Ryo: "What are you talking about? That's a typhoon... Even if I activated the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan within two days, it's impossible to disperse a natural disaster like a typhoon silently."
He didn't want to be known by the whole world in some way; that would be more troublesome and would also affect his desire for a peaceful life.
Yanyunjiang: "What about the eye technique?"
Uchiha Ryo sighed. The power to alter reality did indeed sound unsolvable, but the amount of ocular power consumed would vary depending on the magnitude of the alteration.
To put it bluntly, even if Uchiha Rin were to stare blindly, he still wouldn't be able to wipe out the entire typhoon.
"Just let things take their course. Besides, if there are too many people, Little Lonely will probably be incredibly nervous."
...
The day before the performance, Uchiha Ryo invited Masaki and his sister out for a meeting at a coffee shop.
Just as Uchiha Ryo had guessed, the siblings are currently in dire need of money! After all, they are demons who have entered human society, and their background is that they are orphans, with nothing but that house.
As for that house, it is said that it was also a gift from a senior demon.
Whether it's Maki Ryukyu's expenses at university or Maki Senju, who is currently studying at Shuchiin University.
Although Shuchiin offers many subsidies to students with excellent grades, like Shirogane Miyuki, those who can rank in the top three of their grade can even have their tuition waived.
When Uchiha Ryo initially offered to introduce him to a job, Masaki Senju didn't want to come. After all, the other party was a strong human, while they were demons, so they were on opposite sides.
But when they heard that it was a cat demon who wanted to open a coffee shop, the fox siblings immediately became interested.
We monsters are all stuck working odd jobs, and you, a little cat demon, have opened a shop?! The monster world is getting this chaotic now...
That afternoon, the Masaki siblings signed human work contracts with Yanyun-chan. Masaki Ryuko was a long-term employee, while Masaki Senju was a part-time employee.
Their task is simple: take care of the cats. That's right! Become a cat-herding fox!
After all, Yanyunjiang didn't plan to fire the pastry chefs and other staff in the coffee shop's kitchen, and while the ordinary employees knew they had a new boss, their wages hadn't dropped... so they were fine with just working normally.
The café underwent a week-long renovation, and Yanyunjiang renamed it Cloud Cat Cafe.
Uchiha Ryo stood up and rubbed the cat's head. "Alright, since you're starting your own business, I'm not going to help you. If the business fails... you'll have to pay back the favor points you borrowed from me."
Yanyunjiang: "I despise you..."
