Bang Dream! belongs to Bushiroad.

Touhou belongs to ZUN.

Pastel*Palettes' commercial advertisement was displayed on the building screen in the busy junction.

A single lady in Gothic-purple dress with a light-pink mob cab with red ribbon stared curiously at the screen. There should be someone who questioned her choice of fancy attire, but there was none in reality. This was Japan nowadays, even if you dressed as cosplay for daily life routine, the most you would get is just a few seconds curious glance and they would resume to their own business.

'I haven't gone outside for a while, and girl band is a thing now? Such unpredictable development.' She smiled sadly for some distance nostalgic memory about outside world.

The last time she purposefully took a walk outside of Gensokyo; it was the era of Hard Rock and Metal music, which there were so many male hairband to choose.

She wandered around for a long time until nightfall, and before she called it a day and returned back home, her eyes stumbled upon a certain live house.

'I should give it a try for the song taste of this era.'

Luckily, it was almost time for the live to start so she didn't have to wait for long after buying the ticket. But before she went inside the live area, she made sure to see the board in order to know which band played today.

'Nice logo.' She commented on the Roselia blue-rose band logo.

The LIVE show was truly a blast. While Poppin' Party and other bands were enjoyable, Roselia performance was on a different level, their present dominated all especially the lead-singer (Minato Yukina, from her introduction), it sent chill down her spine how ridiculously good they were, their radiated energy was packed fully into every molecule of the air. That was how she was able to describe at the moment as her sense was still overwhelmed with strong sensation from the song.

The Roselia girl came out of the live house near the closing hour. Suddenly, Yukina spotted someone waiting alone for something. The fresh memory of self-proclaim producer: ChuChu, who tried to recruit her into a band the other day, was surfacing in an instant.

'Another producer? Not again!' She sighed.

Yukari noticed someone sigh so her attention was changed to Yukina, they made eye-contact with each other.

'She is more eye-catching than ChuChu' Yukina compared Yukari with ChuChu. Surely, her dress style was different from normal, too fancy just like Roselia stage dress. Unlike ChuChu's childish aura and appearance, this lady appeared to be twenties with some kind of veteran aura to back her dominant posture. The most important thing was the inhumanly beauty she possessed with those mysterious violet eyes.

"Is there something on my face, Minato-san?" Yukari asked, she noticed Yukina had been starring at her for quite some times.

"Nothing. How do you know my name?" Yukina answered.

"I watched your live show, so I knew your name from your band self-introduction. By the way, I'm Yakumo Yukari, and I'd like to express my feeling to you face-to-face. You put on a good show." Yukari smiled.

"I thank you for your compliment, but I doubt you only wait to tell us that."

"Ara~ Are you suspecting me to have an ulterior motive, dear?" Her playful nature was leaking out.

"I assume you're a producer who try to scout us into your label."

Yukari internally laughed at this. 'How cute, to think that I'm a producer.' That actually gave her funny idea on a whim.

"You aren't correct….but, you aren't totally wrong either in some perspective. I'm not a producer….more like capitalist. I recognize your group high potential, I can back you up with anything: money, connection, power. So, I want to make a deal with you, I guarantee that you lose nothing in this deal, the profit I gain will be from just by-product from your work. Sound great, right?" Yukari expressed her meaningful (?) smile.

"I must decline your offer, Yukari-san. I want my band to grow by ourselves naturally and in our desire direction, we can produce songs and arrange anything ourselves. We don't need outside help. Also, I'm in a band because I love it, I don't want to change it to be duty."

The boldness and harshness of Yukina's reply seemed to be more than what she gave ChuChu the other day; her band mate like Lisa, Rinko, and Ako winced while Sayo kept her indifference. Yukina expected similar reaction to ChuChu from Yukari once she saw the surprise look from her conversation partner.

What Yukina didn't expect was for Yukari's giggle, she then spreaded out the fan to cover her lover face.

"That's unfortunate. However, contact me if you change your mind….anytime" She gave name card to Yukina.

Yukina turned around as she didn't need it, but Yukari grabbed her wrist and forced the name card into her hand. She whispered near the girl ear.

"I strongly advise you to keep my contact, girl. I assure you that you don't have to contact me if you don't want to, I'm not expecting it anyway form your confident tone. You seemed to be a wise girl, so I think you know what to do. It maybe useful someday"

The Majestic and Diabolic voice of the Capitalist put Yukina on edge, she frozen up on the spot while Yukari was handing her name card to her bandmates.

"See you around, girls. Keep up the good work."

When Yukari was out of sight, Sayo broke the silence.

"Ridiculous! Is she still a chuunibyou at her age?"

On her name card indicated:

Yakumo Yukari
