I traveled to the other world and founded a service club to become a winner in life.

Seeing the familiar face, Sawamura Eriri was surprised and her voice was nervous. Hoshino Sora was also speechless after hearing her words. Disguise? Wear a mask and sunglasses, plus a baseball cap...

This guy must have watched too many TV dramas. Anyone who knows him can tell at a glance!

If you really want to disguise yourself, the first step is to put away your iconic golden twin tails!

Volume 1: Chapter 95: Changes in "Huo Ye", the Magic Defense Team is short of manpower!

"Nice disguise, don't pretend next time. What are you doing here? Selling books? Did you draw these yourself?"

As he spoke, Hoshino Sora had already picked up the comic book from Sawamura Eriri's stall.

Just like in the anime of the previous life, he appears to be the ace of the private Toyonosaki Academy Art Club and a seemingly serious art genius, but behind the scenes he is actually the teacher Eri Kashiwagi who is well-known in the fan world.

But maybe this girl is still in junior high school, there are not many customers in front of the stall, which means that she became famous in high school. As for now? She should still be an amateur painter.

"No! I was selling it for my friend. She had to go back home because of something urgent. It would be bad if the things were left here without anyone to take care of them, so I stayed."

"You're lying. I've seen your drawings on Kotori's phone. The style is 90% similar to this one."

"Don't ask questions with the answer in mind!"

Hoshino Sora bluntly exposed Sawamura Eriri's lie, and then flipped through the notebook in her hand in front of her, marveling at the book as she read.

"The plot is pretty good, but the human body part is not so good, especially for boys. If you have time, go to the Internet to watch more, or buy some discs or something."

After looking at Sawamura Eriri whose face was slightly blushing, Hoshino Sora put the book back on the table in front of him, and then gave his advice very sincerely. The guy in front of him definitely had never read any works of that kind!

In that case, let him lead you into it!

"Eh... disc, eh eh eh!"

Of course Sawamura Eriri was aware of her shortcomings, but this was the first time she was pointed out in public like this. Her face turned a little red, her eyes were wandering, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"There's no need to be embarrassed. You're about to enter high school, so it's normal for you to be exposed to that kind of knowledge. What's more, your level is really good. It makes up for this shortcoming. You will definitely be very popular in two years! Now I'll buy a copy first, and please sign it for me."

He smiled and handed the book he had just picked up to Sawamura Eriri, telling her not to be too shy. His every move perfectly demonstrated the demeanor of an adult.

"Okay! Thank you for your patronage!"

When she heard what Hoshino Sora said, Sawamura Eriri's eyes lit up instantly. She hurriedly took out a pen from her pocket, signed her name on the title page of the book, and then handed it to the boy in front of her with both hands.

"Here's 800 yen, please keep it."

"Thank you. You are the first one to buy my book. I have been here for the whole afternoon."

Putting the warm coin into her pocket, Sawamura Eriri said with gratitude on her face.

This is what happens to unknown painters. It is normal for a work that they spend more than a dozen nights working to receive no attention.

Even though she has been posting works on Twitter for nearly half a year, she only has a mere 120 followers.

"There is nothing wrong with the overall structure of the work. Logically, it shouldn't be so unpopular. Maybe your location is not very good. No one comes to the corner of the venue. Because no one comes, the people around you won't come over when they see this situation."

Hoshino Sora analyzed the situation rationally.

The herd effect: if there are many people gathering in front of a stall, some people will come over to take a look even if they have no interest. After seeing it many times, they may become interested, thus driving sales.

For example, now...

Looking at the person walking towards them not far away, Hoshino Sora showed an expression of 'as expected'.

There are no customers here at Eriri Sawamura's place, mainly because no one wants to be the first. Once someone comes and forms a flow of people, business will improve by leaps and bounds.

Of course, generating traffic is one thing, but whether or not you can sell things is another. The most important thing is the quality of the work. If the quality is good, sales will naturally be high.

"Then I'll go first, come on."

Raising his hand and making a gesture of encouragement to Sawamura Eriri, Hoshino Sora stopped disturbing her and continued to stroll around the comic convention, his face full of curiosity about the ACG culture of this world.

In his previous life, he was a pure otaku who had always loved the two-dimensional culture, but because he had few friends, he seldom participated in group social activities such as comic conventions.

However, not participating does not mean not being interested. Looking at the boys and girls in strange costumes coming and going in the crowd, Hoshino Sora is in a particularly happy mood.

At the same time, the things sold at the peripheral stalls were also very interesting. They were all peripherals of various works, from figures to standees, to some collection books, most of which were works he was not familiar with.

"Hoshino-kun, what are you doing standing there? Come here quickly, Kita and the others' concert is about to start!"

Looking at Hoshino Sora who was wandering around bored, Kitagawa Umi made a trumpet shape with her hands and shouted.

"Okay, here I come."

Although the sound was not loud, it was still clearly heard with the help of extrasensory perception. Hoshino Sora greeted loudly, then trotted to the side of Kitagawa Umi, under the stage.

At the same time, 'The End Band' also took to the stage.

When Kita Ikuyo saw Hoshino Sora in the audience, she winked playfully, then skipped to the microphone in the center of the stage, holding a guitar in her hand, with her hair tied up and dressed neatly.

"Then let's get started!"

"Yo!"

The scarlet moonlight shone on the dam.

A team of four girls were frantically killing the filth that attacked them from all around, but the filth was like a tide, coming from all directions, and no matter how hard they tried, they could not kill them all. In the end, they had used up most of their strength and had to retreat early.

"Captain, the amount of filth is increasing."

As the off-road vehicle traveled through the "Disaster Field", Okawamura Ning, who was using his ability "Clairvoyance" to observe the distance, spoke with a trace of sadness on his cute little face.

"Keep going, and rest when we get back to the base. The base's defenses cannot be invaded by these low-level filth. Even if we encounter an attack by Basara, it will take several hours to break through the base's defenses..."

She let out a long breath, squatting on the "snake" level filth that had been strengthened by her ability, and Kyoka Yuzen tightly grasped the knife and looked at the filth tide that was receding behind her with a complicated expression. What happened in the past two months? The frequency of encountering attacks when going out has increased significantly.

However, in contrast, fewer and fewer people are encountering the disaster of "Huo Ye". It is estimated that the Twelve Heavenly Generals have reinforced the seal between the two worlds. No wonder we haven't seen them recently.

"Roar!"

A roar sounded from a distance. Kyoka Yuzen's expression changed. Then she pulled the chain on her hand and said to the people in the SUV: "You go back first. I'll cover you."

"Then we'll go first, Captain, be careful!"

Dong Ri Wanlin spoke worriedly, and then increased the speed of the car.

Image: "Dongri Manrin", Location: "Images/1716493175-100400559-111702031.jpg"

Although he really wanted to stay and help, he also knew that the speed of the off-road vehicle could not match that of the "real snake". If he was forced to stay and fight the enemy together, the final outcome would most likely be that no one would escape.

The captain possesses exceptional combat power, can enslave filth, and is highly mobile, making him the best candidate to stay behind to cover the retreat.

"Come on, a few 'real snakes' dare to catch up with us!"

Looking at the "real snake" filth roaring towards her, Kyoka Yuzen rushed forward with a katana in hand. The "snake"-level filth under her body also reached the level of a "real snake" under the enhancement of her ability "Infinite Chain".

[Skill]: Infinite Lock

[Effect]: Trigger the slave's life force and manipulate it, thus turning the object into a powerful monster and using it for one's own benefit, but the "master" must give the "slave" a certain "labor reward" in the end.

After a fierce battle, Kyoka Yuzen quickly killed the "True Snake" Filth, escaped from the group of Filth, and then rode the newly contracted "Snake"-class Filth towards the base.

In this operation, she killed a total of four "True Snake"-level filths, and there were some other filths. Although her physical strength was not completely consumed, there would definitely be problems if she continued fighting in this state.

"In this situation, we must ask the captain to send more people over. Otherwise, sooner or later, we will die in this broken place. But why are there so many filths suddenly?!"

Looking at the filthy group gradually disappearing behind her, Kyoka Yuzen couldn't help but curse.

In the magic defense team, every captain is a special-grade combat force, the deputy captain is a quasi-special-grade combat force, and the team members are first-grade combat forces. They follow the absolute elite route, so each team has very few people.

This is because there are not many people with awakened abilities, and they will be left in the training ground when they are weak. Only when they can truly stand on their own will they be selected by various teams during the annual spring selection.

Because they have to guard the seal nodes of "Huoye" and resist the invasion of filth, about 30% of the magic defense team members die every year. If they are not replenished with new forces in time, the defense will easily be broken through by the filth tide.

And the team members who survive every year will be promoted to captain when they are strong enough.

In the past few years, everything could be maintained in balance, and the team members were basically enough, but now, with the filthy activities becoming more and more frequent, the pressure on the magic defense team has increased sharply, and three people have died in the last month.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before their base is breached!

"Okay! One more song!"

"Thank you, everyone. This is 'The End of the Band'."

At the comic convention, the performance of 'The End Band' was a stunning success, with a lot of people cheering enthusiastically in the audience, and Hoshino Sora was the most enthusiastic one among them.

At the end of the song, the band bowed to the audience and then left the stage. Looking at Kita Ikuyo who was walking towards him, Hoshino Sora handed her the towel.

"Thank you."

Taking the towel handed to her by Hoshino Sora, Kita Ikuyo said thank you sweetly and then started to wipe the sweat off her body. There were so many people in the audience looking at her just now, which really made her blood boil!

"It feels like every time we have a formal performance, you, Hoshino-kun, are always the one who shouts the most enthusiastically off the stage. Thank you so much!"

Following behind Kita Ikuyo and looking at Hoshino Sora who also handed over a towel, Ijichi Kouka took it and spoke to Hoshino Sora with a smile on her face, with a different emotion revealed in her eyes.

Image: "Ichichi Hongxia", Location: "Images/1716493218-100400559-111702031.jpg"

“I am a fan of ‘World Class’!”

Yamada Ryoya nodded in agreement. With a passionate guy like Hoshino Sora to liven up the atmosphere, how could the band not be popular?

"Thank you."

Even Goto Ichiri, the most socially anxious of the four, thanked Hoshino Sora in a low voice, and then shrank to the back of the team.

Because it was the first time she met so many people, she was very nervous on the stage just now and her mind was blank. It was the voice of the singer in front of her that gave her the confidence to complete the performance.

"You're welcome. By the way, have you all had dinner?"

Looking at the girls in front of him, Hoshino Sora asked casually. He actually had another purpose for coming here today, which was to recruit the people in front of him and make them members of the Service Club.

This was not a sudden idea on his part, but something he had decided long ago.

After all, there are only so many talents available around him, and it is impossible to wait until she encounters something strange before recruiting every one of them. If that happens, the pace will be too slow and it will be difficult to deal with the crisis that will occur next.

Since Kita Ikuyo is too embarrassed to speak up, then he will do it. Whether it will succeed depends on tonight. He doesn't like forcing girls to do things they don't want to do, and he doesn't dare to turn his back to such a teammate.

"No, do you want to treat me? If possible, I think we can have dinner in the evening... um..."

Before others could react, Yamada Ryo spoke first, her big eyes full of desire. She had used all her money to buy a new bass, and she was so poor that she almost had to eat leaves!

"Don't take her words seriously, Liang is just like that, hahahaha..."

Ijichi Kouka grabbed Yamada Ryo from behind and stopped her from saying the next words. There was a hint of apology in her voice. It was really rude to ask someone to treat you when you meet them.

"It's okay, I haven't eaten yet.

There is a delicious ramen restaurant nearby, do you want to go? Of course it’s my treat.”

"Go!"

After adding the last point, Yamada Ryo, who was held by Ijichi Kouka, immediately raised his hand. He even jumped up for fear that Hoshino Sora didn't see it, and it was obvious that he was determined to get this free bowl of ramen.

"How embarrassing! You don't have to obey her so much..."

Ijichi Hongxia smiled at him awkwardly and nudged Yamada Ryo with her elbow a few times while speaking. She thought that Hoshino Sora was forced to treat the meal because he felt embarrassed after what she said.

"It's not that I'm submissive, but I was prepared for this. It was just a coincidence that Yamada-san brought it up. No one can force me to do something I don't want to do."

Waving his hand, Hoshino Sora said sincerely, which also made Ijichi Hongxia fall into silence. She didn't know whether she should accept the invitation.

As the saying goes, no reward without merit, the other party has been cheering for them so hard, if they really want to treat them, they should pay...

"Go! Don't let Hoshino-kun down."

Looking at Hoshino Sora's eyes, Kita Ikuyo instantly understood what he meant.

He then spoke to the other people and took the boy's arm as he spoke. The intimate gesture surprised the other members of the band.

"Kita, are you two really dating now?"

Looking at the people behaving intimately, Ijichi Hongxia blinked her big eyes, with a look of excitement on her face.
