Chapter 3: A Good Candidate

Right, I get it now. When it comes to forming a band, it's important to make sure the other people understand what we're doing.

I should recruit someone who's actually interested. They need to be friendly and they should be able to sympathize.

Yeah. But you should also consider asking someone you're familiar with to an extent.

So the relationship between the members is important. Got it.

Okay, let's try again. I need to find someone who fits those conditions.

Hey, isn't that...?

*Sigh*

Oh, it's Izuru! I'm friends with him, so that clears the relationship part.

Hey, Izuru!

So I wanted to ask you, are you interested in forming a band with us?

A band?

That sounds fun, but I'm swamped with work. Sorry, I'm gonna have to pass this time.

What?!

Wait, he just said it sounds fun. In other words, he's interested!

I can't let him get away! He fits my conditions perfectly!

Wait up! Izuru!

No, really. It's just as I explained. I'm busy with work and I have no time to do anything else.

I know how hard it is to take care of everything for the squad all on your own. I totally understand!

But you sounded interested. And let me tell you, playing guitar is fun!

I'll even help you with your work. Please, I beg you. Come join us!

We need you in our band!

Uh, you sound really desperate. It's borderline creepy.

Well, if you're gonna help me with work, I guess that would give me some time.

Alright, I'll join your band.

Really?

Good job.

Yeah! That went well. Now, let's go find some more band members!
