Great Mangaka

Chapter 73: Chapter 72: Behind the Scenes



Takumi and his four companions were led backstage by other staff members.

This is not a professional backstage, nor are there dressing rooms. It's simply a place where performers gather before going on stage.

The members of the Alliance of Older Sisters were also present. Twenty uniformed women chatted and stretched. The fans around them were attracted to these young and beautiful women.

"What are you doing here?" Akari noticed the presence of the four people and approached to ask.

The staff member responded first on behalf of Takumi and the others. He didn't know the truth, so he felt envious when he said that it was Mirai-sensei's invitation.

Hearing this, Akari opened her mouth wide.

"Did you see Mirai-sensei?" he asked with an expression of excitement: "Where is Mirai-sensei?"

Shiori hurriedly explained, "No, we didn't see it."

In fact, she was still a little confused and was arrested without knowing why, as were the other two roommates. Takumi's heart was also very strange. 'It was Mirai-sensei, and he had chosen it himself.'

"No..."

Akari's excitement calmed down, and he said with a complicated expression, "But you are really enviable. You're very lucky that Mirai-sensei noticed you."

He was very envious, but he was suspicious of Takumi: "Hey, can you act without embarrassing Mirai-sensei?"

He wasn't concerned about Shiori's voice, but Takumi's skill with the piano was questionable. If the performance failed, wouldn't it be an insult to Mirai-sensei's vision?

"I think there should be no problem." Takumi smiled slightly and looked ahead: "Hurry up, your performance is about to start."

Akari was stunned, and indeed heard her partner's call. She looked at Takumi and sighed, turned around and lined up with her fellow members to take the stage.

The staff escorted Takumi and his friends to sit in an empty seat. The two roommates sat together and looked around. Shiori, looking nervous, sat down next to Takumi.

"Do you seem a little nervous?" asked Takumi.

"No, how is that possible?" Shiori shook her head: "I'm surprised. Won't there be any problem with your song? Did you really create it?"

Shiori was very worried. I didn't know much about songs. Those three were songs he had never heard, but they made him feel good singing them. He always thought that they were songs that Takumi had found in foreign songs, and that they were works with modified lyrics. If they came to light, it would be a big problem.

Takumi smiled and said, "I did write that one."

In fact, the original song is a little different from the current one. She didn't translate it directly, but slightly modified the lyrics to fit the melody, so that the singer could show the original flavor of the song.

On stage, the Alliance of Older Sisters began to dance. The background music is a Japanese song that Takumi had never heard before. The beat is upbeat and feels very similar to the popular song "Nobody." The women of the alliance also danced wonderfully. From below, you can see a sea of white legs and short billowing skirts.

The male fans under the stage were so excited that the applause and cheers were more intense than in all previous performances.

"It's so eye-opening."

"Will they see us naked?"

The two roommates blushed at the sight of them, and Shiori frowned: "Is it necessary to use this method to attract attention?"

The three girls were traditional by nature, and the women of Osaka were obviously more open and willing to show off the charm of their bodies. However, with such intense dancing, it is difficult for the audience to see anything, and even if they do, there is no loss.

Takumi believes that it is also a skill for women to show their body, of course, in moderation. She doesn't like overly exposed women, especially those who lack moral integrity.

"Hello."

At that moment, several adult men approached. Takumi looked up and found that they were all strangers.

"What do you want?"

Shiori asked first.

"I heard that they are Mirai-sensei's special representatives. Is that true?" asked one man. He looked attractive. As he looked at Shiori, his eyes flashed with admiration. 'The girl was so beautiful that he almost mistook her for the famous star.'

"Really?" he asked.

Shiori, accustomed to the stares of others, smiled and said, "I sing and he plays the piano."

He pointed at Takumi with a happy expression.

"Play the piano?" the man asked, looking at Takumi, especially his fingers, doubtfully: "Do you know how to play the piano?"

Takumi had a few calluses on his fingers, but they weren't from playing the piano.

"A little bit."

Takumi nodded.

"A little?" the man asked. "What is the piano level?"

The classification of piano levels in Japan is clearer and stricter than in Takumi's previous life. There are eight levels for amateurs and four for professionals.

"I've only been studying for a short time and I haven't taken the exam yet," Takumi smiled.

"I don't have an exam?"

The man looked very surprised, and his gaze turned cold, with a sense of disapproval. 'He thought Takumi was at most level four or five, much worse than him.'

"I'm a level eight amateur," he said proudly. Many people who have learned piano since childhood are unable to reach the eighth level until adulthood. The admission standard for Japan's first-class music universities is amateur piano level seven, and only very prestigious schools accept eighth-level students.

Amateur level eight is already a level that ordinary people admire.

"Why don't you give me the song?" The man's eyes lit up, and he suggested, "I have a great ability to read music. Give me the sheet music and I'll get familiar with it first, and then I can play it for you. There are so many people watching, and they're sure to laugh at you if you don't play well. I'll help you."

He was fair, and several around him followed suit.

"Hui-san is right. Hui-san's interpretation has just caused a furor."

"Takumi-kun, I think you should be very nervous. Don't be stubborn on these occasions. Give it to Hui-san."

"Hui-san is very kind. You should take out the score and not bring Mirai-sensei into disrepute."

Takumi laughed to himself. 'What does it mean to discredit Mirai-sensei? He is Mirai-sensei! And why are you looking for trouble? Didn't you realize that there was a Tyrannosaurus next to you?'

"Crack!" Shiori frowned, and suddenly stepped on the ground, making a loud sound.

The sound stunned the men. 'What's wrong with this girl?'

"Don't worry."

Shiori pushed her foot away, revealing the cracked ground: "Mirai-sensei asked us to act, no one else has to do it for us."

The men looked at the ground in surprise. 'Had she been the one who had made the crack? Impossible...!'

Seeing his disbelief, Shiori stepped on him again, and with a crack, the crack reappeared.

The next instant.

"Take action!"

The men suddenly withdrew at once with a shout, and said, in a panic, "Act again!"

Shiori folded her arms and looked at Takumi.

"Am I still better!?"

"..."
