:As a young woman who made her debut as a singer, Eiko, and hopes to become a singer-songwriter, her singing was praised by Kongming as "having the power to convey your heart to others." Born in [[Kyoto]], her father left her mother and daughter in order to seize the opportunity to pursue his musical dream in the United States, which led her mother to strongly oppose Eiko's exposure to music. She also believed that her mother drove her father away from their home, which indirectly caused the mother-daughter relationship to become estranged and rifted. As Eiko was trying to jump off the railroad tracks in her attempt to commit suicide, she got rescued by Kobayashi and was invited to listen to the singing of American songstress Maria Diesel at the BB Lounge run by Kobayashi. She regained her hope in life, so she was determined to move people's hearts as a singer, and she regained her hope in life, so then she started working at the BB Lounge as a resident singer and store clerk. At the beginning of the story, when she met Kongming, she almost gave up her dream, but with the support of Kongming, she gradually began to struggle and grow. With the official establishment of the record company "Fourth Kingdom", she became the main singer of "Fourth Kingdom." Her characters are named after Huang Yueying (Kongming's wife), a character in the Three Kingdoms period, but her character settings are more like Liu Bei (Kongming's Lord), and there is no ambiguous plot between her and Kongming.

:The brilliant and smart strategist and the [[Grand chancellor (China)|Chancellor]] of [[Shu Han]] during the [[Three Kingdoms Period]], known as Mr. Wolong (Sleeping Dragon), who died at the [[Battle of Wuzhang Plains]] in 234, somehow got reincarnated in modern-day [[Shibuya]] in his youthful appearance. By chance, he encounters Eiko during her singing performance during the Halloween party and later gets picked up by her. Eiko's songs move his heart three times, so he decides to become her strategist in order to help her realize her dream of becoming a great songstress. With a high IQ and a strong thirst for knowledge, he quickly adapts to modern life after being reincarnated into the modern age. Kongming later successfully planned and promoted the three major record companies "SSS Music", "V-Ex", and "Key Time" to jointly participate in the large-scale music event "The Orion of 4 Years Ago" as an opportunity, and Eiko and others established the record company "Fourth Kingdom."

: Azalea's vocalist and bassist; along with guitarist Ichika and drummer Futaba, they are university friends. In university, the three formed a band out of their passion for music, but due to commercial marketing considerations, they had to follow Toshihito Karasawa's policy, and they gradually lost their original intentions and will. Nanami sang Maria Diesel's song "I'm still alive today" on the street without makeup and met Eiko, who was also trying to perform on the street. As she listens to the singing of Kabetaijin and Eiko, she recalls their original intentions in the music industry and is moved to tears. They chose to interpret their songs in their own way and received a warm response from fans. They also obtained 100,000 likes through Kongming's assistance and became friends with Eiko and others. Afterwards, she re-accepts Karasawa as their producer and assists Eiko with advice to develop her music career.

:The owner of the BB Lounge. Although he has a strong personality, he is a [[Three Kingdoms]] {{Transliteration|ja|[[otaku]]}}, and he also likes to play [[Go (game)|Go]]. In the past, he rescued Eiko, who tried committing suicide, and let her assist in the store and serve as a resident singer. Because he admired Kongming, who could answer his tough questions during the interview, he hired him as a receptionist and a bartender in the BB Lounge. Originally, after Eiko's gradual rise, he thought that the small size of the BB  Lounge would limit Eiko's development, but due to Kongming's strategy, which led the group to set up a record company called "Fourth Kingdom", he chose to continue to assist Eiko and others. He is the key person who inspired Eiko to create a new song, "Hot Chill Hot."

| ShortSummary        = In the year 234, near the end of the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Kongming is struck down by illness and lies on his deathbed. In his final moments, he has a dying wish to be reborn in a peaceful world without war. The next moment, he awakes as a younger version of himself in modern-day Shibuya. Confused by his surroundings, Kongming wanders into a nearby bar, where he witnesses a young singer, Eiko Tsukimi, perform, and is moved by her singing. The next day, Eiko finds Kongming passed out on the street and takes him to her home, where she teaches him the basics about modern Japan, and Kongming is convinced he was revived in modern-day Japan for a reason. With Eiko's help, Kongming is able to secure a job as a bartender at Eiko's nightclub, the BB Lounge, thanks to her boss being a Three Kingdoms enthusiast. After their shift ends, Eiko reveals that she had once considered committing suicide, but hearing someone sing gave her the motivation to keep living to become a singer who could inspire others as well. However, she has so far failed every audition she has applied for and is thinking of quitting. Kongming then offers his services as a master tactician to help Eiko achieve her dream.

Kongming arranges for them both to attend a performance by the famous singer Mia Iriomote to see if there is anything they can learn from her. In order to judge her character, Kongming meets Mia backstage, where she offers to get Eiko a performance at a larger club. However, Kongming quickly realizes that Eiko is scheduled to perform at the same time as Mia on opposing stages, meaning Mia intends to exploit Eiko's low fame to boost her own audience. On the night of the performance, Kongming arranges the stage area in a way to confuse the audience so they cannot easily find the exit, recreating his famous [[Stone Sentinel Maze]] stratagem. Drawn in by the promise of alcohol, being unable to leave, and having the opportunity to hear Eiko sing, the crowd begins to build up at Eiko's stage. The performance ends up being a huge success for Eiko as she gains over 1,000 followers, while a furious Mia orders her manager to keep tabs on Eiko.

| ShortSummary        = In order to capitalize on Eiko's successful performance, Kongming manages to convince a local music festival to host her. However, since Eiko is still an amateur, she is given a small,  out-of-the way stage and scheduled to perform at the same time as the main event, Jet Jacket, performs on the main stage. At the festival, Kongming tricks Jet Jacket into thinking Eiko's sound equipment has broken down, luring them into a false sense of security. He then employs one of his [[Thirty-Six Stratagems]]: "Create something from nothing." He reveals that he had thoroughly studied Jet Jacket and knows their lead singer has a sensitive throat, and with a big concert the next day, he will not sing his signature song for the festival. Kongming simply feigned weakness so Jet Jacket would lower their guard, allowing Eiko to make an explosive opening to her performance to steal the crowd's attention. Jet Jacket confronts Kongming about his underhanded tactics, but he manages to appease them by providing them with a concoction that can treat sore throats. Kongming is happy that the successful performance at the festival has improved Eiko's self-confidence as well as drawn the attention of a major music producer.

| ShortSummary        = Nanami answers the call from her manager Karasawa, revealing that she is in fact Nanami Kuon of Azalea. Karasawa chastises Nanami for her disobedience, forbidding her from street performing or meeting with Eiko. Eiko meanwhile performs another session with Kido, and while Kido concedes Eiko has improved, he points out she still has not found her reason for singing. Frustrated, Eiko goes with Nanami to a rooftop skydeck using a ticket Kongming had provided her. There, Nanami comes clean with Eiko, revealing her identity as Nanami Kuon. She explains that she formed Azalea with two of her high school friends and while they initially were not very successful, they had fun playing the music they wanted. However, it all changed when they met the music producer Toshihiko Karasawa from Key Time. Karasawa promised them success, but only if they sang his music. They initially refused, but when Azalea's lack of success threatened to bankrupt them, they turned to Karasawa in desperation. Following Karasawa's strict instructions, Azalea did find success, but Nanami later found it to be at the cost of Azalea being more about fame and profit rather than music. Realizing Nanami was hiding troubles of her own, Eiko feels the desire to use music to save her, just like how she herself was saved by it. Inspired, Eiko signs her own rendition of "I'm Still Alive Today", which moves Nanami to tears. Nanami parts ways, warning that next they meet will likely be as rivals, but Eiko still expresses her wish to sing with her again someday. Kongming then arrives, having heard Eiko's singing, and tells her now that she has found her reason to sing, she is ready to move to the next stage of the plan.

Azalea then arrives and begins performing, but Nanami is alarmed to see Eiko is her rival and becomes anxious performing in front of her. Kongming considers using his "Stratagem of Alienation", which would be guaranteed to break Azalea apart, but he decides to change his plan in respect for Eiko's friendship with Nanami. Instead, he has Kabetaijin perform a [[Diss song|provocative rap song accusing]] Azalea of being fake, and Eiko fans working for Kongming begin spreading false rumors that the real Azalea are impostors as well, halting their likes at 98,000. With both sides at a stalemate, Eiko prepares to tip the balance in her favor with her singing.

Eiko then proceeds to sing Dreamer, which moves Nanami, her bandmates, and the entire crowd. The crowd quickly swings to Eiko's side and begins giving her likes. In a panic, Karasawa instructs Azalea to begin performing their new song, but Nanami ignores him. She and Azalea are inspired by Eiko's singing to return to their roots as Eiko reaches 100,000 likes. Despite losing the contest, Azalea decides to perform anyways, playing one of their original songs, putting all of their genuine emotion into it. Unknown to them, Kongming streams their performance online, earning them 100,000 likes as well and demonstrating to Karasawa that they are capable of attracting true fans rather than ones that need to be paid off. A victory party for Eiko is held at the BB Lounge, where Kongming meets with Karasawa properly. Kongming notes that Karasawa was an aspiring musician in his youth as well before being betrayed by one of his bandmates, and Karasawa admits that he saw Azalea's talent and wants to make them successful so that they can avoid the same fate he suffered. Azalea then arrives, having heard of Karasawa's past, and they agree to continue to work together with him as their producer. Eiko then privately meets Kongming, and she thanks Kongming for helping her as her tactician and Kongming thanks her for providing him a purpose in life that does not involve war. Kongming then notes to himself that the first volume of his plan to achieve Eiko's dream is complete. Eiko then goes to the stage to perform for her waiting fans.
