Chapter 22 How is that possible?
Day 3.
Tomorrow's progress on the flower spike fragrance: tone-deaf.
Remaining funds: less than 30,000 yen.
Onodera Mizuki didn't call on herself again, so she didn't receive any commission yesterday.
Judging from Asuka's practice, she was clearly lacking in motivation.
This is normal. Repeatedly practicing a single sound is even more tedious than climbing scales. The fact that you've persisted for so long before starting to feel tired is actually quite impressive.
That's the logic, but Nakajima Hiroshi couldn't let it go unchecked.
After all, time was too tight.
Moreover, as long as Asuka wants to pursue a career as an entertainer, she will have to overcome this problem sooner or later.
Let's observe. If she can't adjust quickly on her own, we'll probably have to intervene.
Nakajima Hiro listened to Asuka's practice while resting with his eyes closed.
"Fa..."
The progress is far from optimistic.
It seems the strategy for changing that festival song needs to be adjusted.
Originally, Hiroshi Nakajima planned to modify the structure of "Cruel Angels...".
The performance begins with a melodious and solemn humming, then quickly transitions to a fast-paced, explosive beat, accompanied by expansive and dynamic dance moves, aiming to draw the audience's attention to Asuka as much as possible.
This way, the song can become a backdrop, allowing her to fully utilize her physical advantages.
However, to achieve this effect, at least three octaves would be needed, which is clearly beyond Asuka's ability to handle.
If Asuka's progress is normal, she should be able to handle both octaves by tomorrow morning. I need to come up with a new arrangement plan before then.
"Fa, So—!"
Her voice cracked again.
The child is getting impatient; he's not even mastered the Fa sound yet, and he's already trying the next note.
Asuka sighed softly as she watched the waveform distorted by the tuner.
She carefully turned around and looked at Nakajima, who was resting with his eyes closed.
This guy probably didn't hear that...
Hmm, it seems like she's asleep.
Asuka tiptoed to Nakajima Hiro's side and gently tugged at his sleeve.
"Nakajima, am I really... suited for this line of work?"
After realizing her problem, Asuka remained anxious and uneasy.
Although she didn't understand music theory, she wasn't stupid. After practicing for a little over a day, how could she not guess that this was her flaw?
Nakajima Hiroshi's statement that "many people are like this" was clearly meant to comfort him.
"Will I disappoint you, or...?"
Even though she thought Nakajima Hiro was asleep, Asuka didn't say anything more.
She thought that since she had such a big problem, he should be considering finding someone else to replace her.
Nakajima Hiroshi maintained his steady breathing and did not respond.
He could naturally hear the worry and anxiety in Asuka's voice, but offering words of comfort at this moment would only embarrass the child.
However, adjusting her mindset should definitely be included in the plan.
Asuka is like a little hedgehog; beneath her fierce exterior lies a sensitive and tender heart.
We need to find an opportunity to explore and roughly determine her reasons for wanting to become an artist.
Whether it's just for a living or for aspirations, at least get a sense of the situation. If her initial intention can support her to move forward, then strengthen that idea.
If not, you should give her a reason.
In addition, we really need to consider continuing to recruit.
After all, one's margin for error is not high, and one cannot put all one's eggs in one basket.
But this can only be done after Asuka's mindset has stabilized.
Given her current mindset, if she were to discover that she was planning to recruit people, she would likely have a breakdown and give up on her career as an artist.
"Why."
Nakajima Hiroshi couldn't help but sigh.
Asuka immediately sprang to life.
Oh no, something's wrong!
He couldn't have heard that, could he?
Damn it!
Too shameful!
We need to think of a way...
But Nakajima Hiroshi simply turned his body slightly, a small movement to pretend he was asleep, and continued snoring.
Careless.
It seems that working two jobs at the same time is indeed quite stressful, as it led to such a basic mistake.
Fortunately, Asuka is easy to fool.
She held her breath and stared at Nakajima Hiroshi for a long time before she was sure that he was really asleep and had just taken a breath.
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seriously, that's scary!
Asuka rubbed her ears, muttered a complaint to herself, and casually started practicing again.
"Fa..."
It seems the child has realized that the previous note was unstable.
Ok……
Ok?
Listening to Asuka's somewhat stiff pronunciation, Hiroshi Nakajima suddenly had an inspiration.
It's unlikely that she'll be able to sing well again in a short time. At her current pace, it would be quite remarkable if she could sing a complete song within fifteen days.
But you can simply abandon this path and shift your focus from singing skills to delivering a stunning performance that leaves a lasting impression.
Perhaps this song should be cut even further, using a minimalist melody line paired with a powerful rhythm to bombard the audience repeatedly.
However, this means that we must find a replacement elsewhere.
As we all know, the basic skills of an artist include singing, dancing...
With Asuka's figure, even her casual dance moves are full of charm, and with a little training, it could certainly be used as a core selling point.
Yes, let's think in that direction.
However, this requires Asuka to fully showcase her physical charm, making it a strong point so strong that it overshadows the singing itself.
This is also a very difficult task.
I don't know if she has that kind of talent.
Honestly, learning to dance quickly is harder than learning to sing; it's something that requires a lot of natural talent.
Moreover, Nakajima Hiroshi cannot teach.
He doesn't have that talent; he'll probably have to hire someone.
Money...
Private dance lessons are not a cheap investment.
Even the cheapest new teachers start at 5,000 yen per hour, and they usually only know some very basic dances, which is obviously not enough for Asuka's situation.
For someone like her, you'd need to hire a professional choreographer, whose hourly rate would be around ten to twenty thousand yen.
Over the course of half a month, it will probably cost over 100,000 yen.
Even the income of a host club would hardly cover this level of expenses.
Perhaps we could ask Onodera for help...
That doesn't seem like a good idea either.
This woman clearly has acting experience, and most likely has scheduling issues. Even if she owes me a favor, it's unlikely she would turn down a two-week collaboration to teach Asuka how to dance.
Moreover, even if you find some choreographers through her, you still have to pay in the end, at most you can delay payment for a few days.
The advantage of having acquaintances is not obvious.
Besides, I just told her I didn't need any compensation, and then she turned around and asked for resources. That's a huge slap in the face.
How could I, Nakajima Hiroshi, be so shameless!
Ok?
and many more.
If your system can share the talents of artists, then if you sign a choreographer, can you personally guide Asuka?
It's theoretically feasible, but the actual results... are hard to say.
Because of dance, some movements are etched into muscle memory.
Even if the system can share talents, it's really an unknown how much of the choreographer's knowledge can be utilized in this body.
Moreover, the thought of leading Asuka Hanazawa in a girl dance sent chills down Nakajima's spine.
but……
Compared to making a huge amount of money quickly, this is undoubtedly a more stable path to success.
……
Hey.
No matter what, it can't be worse than being a gigolo, right?
An hourly expense of ten to twenty thousand yen is really...
Dry!
"Ms. Onodera..."
