Volume Six: What She Lost, What I Gained - Everyone, I Like-

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah"""

Haoyue rolled around on the ground, clutching her head and howling incessantly. Her cheongsam had flown up, revealing her black lace-trimmed panties—wait, the strings on your panties are loose now! We can see sparse, soft, mysterious body hair!

I felt so sorry for them... but I couldn't quite bring myself to sympathize with them.

This is the perfect time to use me, the main character! Watch my Flying Fairy Sister Liu Tian Jiang Meng Lie's head pat kill!

Touch~~~~

"Why are you pinching their heads?"

"A gentle head pat!"

"You didn't touch here, did you...?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Haoyue, don't cry, come on, it's nice to lean against my chest like Ye Jiang melon~"

"Um..."

She obediently buried her head in the valley of my chest, slowly rubbing against me, but didn't take the opportunity to rub, lick, or suck to take advantage of me. It seems she was really hurt.

"I'm sorry... Xiao Ye... but... I really, really bad at singing..."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not your fault, it's not anyone's fault..."

With me, the gentle and approachable protagonist, setting a good example, everyone else recovered from their brief moment of distraction and looked apologetic.

"Stop crying, Qipao Woman, you look awful. Uh, anyway... we were also at fault, we shouldn't have forced you to sing."

Xiao Wu sighed and came to our side, gently stroking Haoyue's smooth, long hair. Could this be the real head pat? What strong boyfriend power!

"Although he sang very badly."

"Don't add insult to injury! Maybe Haoyue just isn't good at singing those kinds of songs—"

--Huh? I was stunned.

Not good at... That's right, Haoyue is clearly not good at singing these existing songs.

But... does being unable to conform to the mainstream equate to a lack of talent?

Think carefully about her singing.

That inexplicable power, that tension, that feeling that seemed to come with an innate roar...

A bolt of lightning flashed through my mind.

Could it be, could it be! The true value of the bright moon lies in--

"Think about it, everyone! The entertainment industry on this planet is very developed, with countless new people joining it every day, and there are countless geniuses and prodigies. But it cannot be denied that this industry has indeed stagnated, and even shows a tendency to regress!"

I wrote the word "regression" on the wall in blood and wild cursive script. I feel full of energy now. I guess Columbus, that old rogue, felt the same way when he discovered America.

"Why is this? It's all because of a lack of creativity! Unoriginal arrangements, monotonous lyrics—no matter the type of music, creation has fallen into a template! Celebrities and idols are all mass-produced like on an assembly line. At first, it might feel fresh, but in the long run, all that's left is exhaustion!"

I became increasingly impassioned, while they all looked at me with utter bewilderment. Were they all really Aqua? Didn't they understand what I was saying? Huh?

"Everyone, pay attention! Ask a question! That little girl over there!"

"Huh? Me?"

"It's you! Use your brain, which is smaller than a walnut, to think carefully! What does this planet need for music?"

"Ah, uh, eh, I don't--"

"--Useless! What do you think of that cheongsam over there?"

"Xiao Ye, your image is ruined... Let me think... Anyway, it's something like 'innovation'?"

"That's right! But it's not just about 'innovation'! Ordinary innovation is no longer enough for us! We need groundbreaking innovation! We need something unprecedented! We are just a team, a remnant force of less than ten people! But I firmly believe that you are all battle-hardened elite soldiers, capable of taking on a thousand men single-handedly! Therefore, our total strength will be ten thousand people, plus a one-person supergroup of singers!"

(What's wrong with her? But her explanation is quite catchy...)

(Anyway, it's probably just another one of Xiao Ye's inside jokes that we don't understand...)

"You two over there, stop whispering! If we really want to stand out, we can't follow the same old path! We must forge a new one, injecting fresh blood into this stagnant industry! And the source of this fresh blood is—"

I pointed my big finger!

"--It's you! Haoyue!"

The entire room fell silent.

Then,

"... What?! He's finally gone completely insane."

"Xiao Ye, I'm glad you have this thought, but... you can't lie."

"Xiao Ye should go see a psychiatrist."

"You've been under too much pressure all this time."

"Seriously, all of you! I'm serious!"

I slammed my hand on the table and roared, "You bunch of short-sighted country bumpkins! You simply can't understand my advanced ideas!"

"It's not that Haoyue can't sing well, it's just that there aren't any songs in the world suitable for her to sing! But that's okay, I've completely figured it out, Haoyue, what kind of music suits you best!"

I then used my blood to write those five sacred letters on the wall again--

"Metal!"

"What's that?"

"It's faith!"

"Give me specifics!"

"Anyway... you can see it as a type of rock, like an enhanced or more extreme version of rock, uh... right, rock, you know what rock is?"

Could you please explain...?

"There are significant differences between different types of rock, but in short, the music rhythms are intense and passionate, and the creative styles are bold and unrestrained."

"So, a more powerful version of the 'Extreme Music'?"

"Yes! Excitement... what's that?"

"A new musical style championed by pop music the Godfather Visel about twenty years ago..."

"Just interpret it however you like! You won't understand unless you actually try it! Haoyue, come here!"

"Well..."

I pulled Haoyue, who was still wavering, over and handed her a piece of paper that I had just written.

"Let's start with a hardcore song. Here are the general lyrics; just memorize them."

"But the accompaniment..."

"Let me sing it first, listen carefully!"

I cleared my throat--

"Its your

Turn right

Now, let

reproach

Yourself!!

Open your throat completely, use both your chest and abdomen to stimulate your vocal cords, and maximize the production of your true voice, experiencing that husky, grainy quality.

--Of course I can't do that, because I haven't specifically trained in hardcore vocals, nor have I trained in black metal or death metal vocals, and I certainly don't have that talent.

But right now I'm just demonstrating the melody and intense feeling to Haoyue, so just shout it out as much as you want!

Finish!

My throat hurts so much... I really shouldn't sing without proper practice. If I sing a few more times, my voice will probably be ruined...

"Cough cough... That's the feeling, you get it...?"

I smiled broadly, but their reactions were inconsistent.

"Well... it's definitely very different from existing songs, but it has its own unique charm... but it's still difficult for the general public to accept it immediately, right?" ← Producer

"Wow, even though your singing is a bit weird, the song itself is still pretty good." ← Xiao Wu

"Xiao Wu agrees, I agree too." ← Sin Annihilation

"It sounds awful! It's so weird, it's just pure noise! It's not cute at all!" ← Little Ying

"I can't get used to it at all... Does anyone actually like it?" ← Sick Spider

It's a completely polarized reaction, but well, that's to be expected.

"Come on, Haoyue, you've got it, right? I have a lot of confidence in your memory!"

"I'll remember that for now, but how do I pronounce it?"

"If I tell you, you'll become more restrained. Besides, what I just shouted was just a nuclear voice. I think Haoyue, you don't need to be bound by nuclear voices, black voices, death voices, or anything like that. Just follow your heart!"

"Won't it hurt your throat?"

"I believe you are an incredibly talented metal prodigy!"

"... Then I'll give it a try."

Haoyue took a deep breath and began to sing the lyrics I had given her.

A few minutes later--

"That's SO awesome!!!!!!!!!"

I was so excited I was practically jumping for joy! It was absolutely awesome! So cool! Absolutely amazing!!! I can't believe I had such great taste!!!!

The others were also speechless with astonishment, still immersed in Haoyue's near-perfect voice, as if savoring the memory.

"Although I don't understand it at all... but..."

"Such a powerful charisma, and the pairing with that stinky moon girl is truly... perfect!"

"I don't quite understand it, but it seems really impressive."

"So amazing! And the more I listen, the more captivating it becomes!"

"Hmph~ Hmph~ Hmph~ I told you, Haoyue is absolutely a genius in this area. Her hardcore vocals are not just high-pitched or powerful; they also possess a delicate and graceful femininity. Heaven knows how she managed to blend that feminine grace into this hardcore metal song—it's a miracle! Even those girl groups that sing black metal and death metal can't achieve this!!!"

"But wait a minute, Miss Ye!"

The producer interrupted me breathlessly, "You're so annoying!"

"If we insist on launching a new style of music, it will probably be difficult for the public to accept it in a short period of time!"

"Someone will eventually accept it!"

"And what about composing and writing the lyrics?"

"I'm here! I've been holding back from using my transmigrator privileges all this time for this crucial moment! Although I said in the previous two chapters that what I despise most is transmigrators using things from the old world in the new world and claiming them as their own, I have no choice now! Metal bands of all ages, forgive this helpless soul! But don't worry, when the album is released, I will definitely put your names in the original author's section!!!"

"I don't understand what you're saying at all!"

"It's best not to understand it, and that doesn't matter—in short, the once-in-a-century project is in full swing! We can't be as aloof as singers, nor as conventional as celebrities, nor as cutesy as idols; we should form a proper band!"

That's right, a band!

Think of those legendary bands that have gone down in history! Guns N' Roses, Nirvana, Metallica, U2, Bon...

Jovi, Nine Inch Nails, if you're going to work hard, you should look up to them! Holding concerts, releasing albums, accumulating hundreds of millions of fans, and becoming a legend!

... Although at first it seemed like we just wanted to make some money?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The new anime series starting in April are gradually being released! Here are some I'm looking forward to watching: JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Mayoiga, Gakusen, Re: Zero, Otome no Omotta, Online waifu, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress, Ace Attorney, Shinobi Slayer, UC, Super Space Triangle, Unhappy, Sansha Mitsuba, Haru Ripple... That's about it for now.

I'm a big fan of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, and I still have to enjoy this high-quality remake, Yuri trilogy for healing, and light novel trilogy to watch while eating. I'll also be watching the spoilers on Re: Zero (I'm a little stressed since I haven't read the original), the mindless bashing of Shinobi Killing (it's so exciting!), and the arguments between the "Student Wars" and "Failure Wars" fans (okay, I'm a "Student Wars" fan because I like the character designs) lol.
