The next day at noon, having just finished contacting the person in charge of the exhibition hall, Nagasaki Soyo ca to Chihaya Tetsuya's house at the earliest opportunity and relayed many of the arrangents for the upcoming joint exhibition.
There was a lot of information Soyo shared, but for Tetsuya, two things were the most important.
First, at this exhibition, his booth would be placed right next to Mr. Jean's, in the center of the entire hall.
Second, the organizers of the [TGC] had also been invited to participate in this joint exhibition.
"By the way, because the organizers just released the announcent this morning, news about this joint exhibition is now all over social dia."
As she spoke, Soyo showed Tetsuya the news on her phone.
"[TGC Warm-up], [TGC Selection], [Top French Designer Joins TGC], [NozAK! Invited to Exhibition]... ah, and this one, [Mysterious Indie Brand "Starry Sky" Makes Its Debut]."
Seeing this headline, Soyo clicked her tongue in amazent.
"The organizers actually put our information in such a prominent spot."
"That was probably at Mr. Jean's request... After all, according to Ms. Yamabuki, the whole reason he's holding this joint exhibition is basically because of ."
A helpless, wry smile appeared on Tetsuya's face.
"For an indie brand's debut exhibition, this lineup is a little too extravagant."
"Thanks to this Mr. Jean, my mother is over the moon right now."
Soyo sighed as well.
"Distributors are already starting to approach my mother to talk about collaborations. Seriously, they were all just waiting and watching before, but the mont the news of this joint exhibition ca out, they all sward us. I guess this is the power of the [TGC]..."
"..."
If the influence of the [TGC] alone was enough for his personal brand to receive this much attention before it had even officially launched, then... just what level of influence did Jean-Pierre Stanley, a man who could sway the decisions of the [TGC] with a single thought, possess?
Will I ever have the chance... to beco a designer as amazing as him?
"Whatever, thinking about this won't help. I'd be better off using this ti to draw a few more designs!"
Tetsuya shook his head, preparing to focus on his work once more.
But just then, Soyo spoke again.
"Wait a mont, Tetsuya. Before you get to work, I have one more thing to tell you."
"What is it?"
"Anon's band account received an email from a record company last night. According to them, it seems they want to sign us..."
In other words...
"It looks like we might actually be making our major debut."
...
"Isn't this amazing?! We actually have a chance to make our major debut!"
At the RiNG café, Chihaya Anon, having just made the sa announcent, spoke excitedly to the other mbers.
"And according to them, if we just write eight more original songs, we can start working on our first album!"
"...Are you for real?"
Shiina Taki still couldn't believe Anon's sudden announcent.
"Are you sure you weren't scamd? Which record company contacted you?"
"Relax, of course I checked it out. The one who contacted us is the sa company that's producing the live disc for [Sumr Zodiac]'s recent concert! Let think, the na is..."
"Parader."
Suddenly, Takamatsu Tomori spoke the na, and Anon imdiately nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's it, Parader... eh?"
Anon paused in surprise.
"Why, how did you know, Tomori?"
"Ai told before."
Tomori lowered her head, a little embarrassed.
"When they were producing the disc for this live... she specifically recomnded our band to the record company. Not only that, she also said... [Sumr Zodiac] will continue to invite us to perform with them at their lives in the future..."
"Ai?!"
Hearing that na, Taki's expression imdiately beca incredibly wary.
"Tomori? Since when did you get so friendly with that dangerous person?!"
"It was a little while ago... Also, Ai isn't a dangerous person anymore."
Tomori quickly defended Hoshino Ai.
"She was only acting so extre before because of so special circumstances. Now she's so nervous she can't even speak properly to Chihaya-san!"
"..."
Chihaya Anon, who knew the whole story, silently averted her gaze upon hearing this.
Taki, however, frowned with a bit of hesitation.
Since she hadn't had much contact with Hoshino Ai herself, her impression of her was still stuck on that day at [RiNG] when Ai locked Tetsuya in the recording studio.
But... considering that Ai did promote [MyGO!!!!!] to the record company, and that she hadn't heard Anon complain about her recently, Taki reluctantly gave a small nod, accepting Tomori's explanation.
"But I really never expected we'd make our major debut before Sakiko..."
Taki, who had always seen Sakiko as the goal she was chasing, couldn't help but marvel.
"I thought we'd be at least a year or two behind them."
"Well, Sakiko-san's band hasn't even gathered all its mbers yet."
Anon shook her head.
"Just the other day, Mutsumi and I finally ca to an agreent with Nyamu-chan... ah, I an their drumr. They don't even have a candidate for the remaining bassist."
"...A bassist?"
Hearing this, Taki was lost in thought.
"For a band on Sakiko's level, that person's skill... mhm, should be fine, but..."
"What's wrong, Taki?"
Anon looked curiously at Taki's suddenly conflicted expression.
"Is sothing bothering you?"
"...It's nothing, just a small idea."
Taki shook her head.
"I'll talk to her and Uika at school later. Besides asking us to keep making new songs, does the record company have any other requirents?"
"Nope. They know we're just high school students, so they haven't put too many restrictions on us... Well, actually, I, or rather my brother, has a new job he'd like to commission from everyone."
"?" x3.
Everyone present turned their curious gazes to Anon, who didn't beat around the bush and stated her idea directly:
"I want everyone to wear outfits designed by my brother... and hold a small live concert in August!"
