After returning home, Fang Zheng told Mikana and Eve about the amusing events of the day. Both of them were clearly quite interested.
"An elementary school band? Big brother, are they any good?"
"Pretty average. They're not bad, but considering their age, they're already very impressive."
"True. I can't imagine girls my age playing guitar and drums..."
Mikana frowned, pondered it for a moment, then shook her head. At that moment, Eve, who had been reading beside them, closed her book and looked at Fang Zheng.
"...Is being in a band fun?"

Frankly, whether it's stamina, singing ability, or stage presence, they can't compare to trained professionals."
"Ah..."
"But that's what makes it challenging. Wouldn't it be fun if I could train them up to a professional level? It's boring when someone who can already do something does it. It's interesting when someone who couldn't do it manages to do it."
"That does sound pretty fun."

"Then, big brother, can Eve and I come watch too?"
"Let me ask them first. If they're willing, then of course."
Early the next morning, Fang Zheng
