They always felt that the other party was like a Godzilla in human skin, who could tear off the mask of kindness at any moment and kidnap their Crychic Yu in an instant.

This premonition is completely unfounded.

But it was so obvious, so obvious, that it gave Su Shi a huge sense of threat, like a thorn in his back. (6*4→→)

Before, I was fine and didn't feel anything.

But ever since she saw Yu and Akane Kurokawa's perfect teamwork and playfulness, her heart has been restless.

This can't go on, it absolutely can't continue.

Something must be done.

Su Shi forced her trembling little hands to steady herself. Even if she didn't mention the sudden illusion she was having with Kurokawa Akane, even if it was just because of the other band's progress, she absolutely couldn't let things go on like this any longer.

Yu's band has now assembled all its members.

It won't be long before they start doing a live performance.

Su Shi had already experienced a live performance, which is why she was so aware of how explosive the impact of a band's first live performance could be on the growth of the bond between the members.

Ai Yin is easy to deal with; she has plenty of ways to ruin Ai Yin's mindset before the live performance, leaving Ai Yin with only a lingering trauma throughout the entire performance, so that she will never want to touch the band or instruments again.

However, she didn't have much opportunity to use such underhanded tactics against the members on Yu's side.

Therefore, it is both possible and necessary to force the other party to disband before the live performance.

At first, we didn't have any clue what to do.

Fortunately, Li Xi-chan provided this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"No matter what kind of person I become, do you want to break the contract in front of Riki-chan and Akari-chan?"

Her gaze hardened completely. Knowing how despicable she was doing, Su Shi showed no remorse. She stared at You with unwavering resolve, even threateningly saying:

"If I were to do something that would make me look down on you, I would go to Mutsu-chan and have her tell Saki-chan."

They staked out every single available asset.

If this was a gamble, then she had gone all in on a do-or-die situation.

Su Shi knew very well that regardless of whether this was successful or not, her position in You's heart would definitely be greatly affected.

Although Yu is forgiving towards her friends and wouldn't hold a grudge for life, she can forget about getting any good treatment in the short term.

But even so, she had to do it!

If we don't act now, Crychic will be in danger!

And... she really, really, has had enough, enough of the days without You by her side.

Even though they were all in the same livehouse, aside from meeting and saying goodbye every day, he actually spent all his time with three other strange women.

She, Riki-chan, and Akari-chan, aren't they Yu's true friends?

Akane Kurokawa, Masuzu Natsukawa, Yukino Yukinoshita, and the like... are completely unnecessary!!

Looking at Su Shi's resolute eyes, Kamiya Yu took a deep breath. Despite being betrayed, he still forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked in a heavy voice, full of pressure, "Do you know what you're saying, Su Shi?"

If he stopped there, he could pretend it never happened.

"I know perfectly well. But you look like you're about to back out. You're so arrogant. What, are you going to break your promise to Riki-chan's game?"

Su Shi no longer cares.

If sacrificing herself could greatly improve the situation, then she was willing to accept it—after all, no matter what she did, Yu wouldn't really break off their friendship.

She was in pain for breaking the unspoken understanding between herself and Yu, but she had to persevere no matter how painful it was.

Once she succeeds, she'd even kneel down and beg Yu for forgiveness, but Kurokawa Akane and the others must leave; that's her only goal!

"Huh? What are you talking about? Don't force You to do this kind of thing!"

"Su Shi..."

Before Kurokawa Akane and the others could take any action, and while Yu was still frowning and silent.

The first to stand up and stop Su Shi were Li Xi and Deng.

If Su Shi were standing on the opposite side of these two people, she would have given in immediately in the past.

But ultimately, there has never been any real niche domination in Crychic. Who is afraid of whom, who backs down, who makes concessions—these things are really just a matter of right and wrong and the severity of the situation.

Now, Su Shi's determination allows her to disregard all facts, and she is fearless even towards Riki-chan!

"Don't say stupid things, Riki-chan. Think about it carefully. Do you really want to see this guy become someone else's bandmate? Actually, you've always wanted him to come back, haven't you?"

Su Shi coldly said, "Although I have a lot of opinions about You and wish he would stay away from me for the rest of his life, I am even willing to forgive him for the sake of you and Deng Jiang. Do you think I can pretend nothing happened just because I backed down now?

"If I shut up now, it won't make up for my relationship with him; instead, it will only keep this thorn stuck in my throat."

"Besides... do you think that if I back down, something good will happen?"

"Take a closer look at them, Riki-chan. If you give in now, you might never see this guy again. Can you tolerate such a future?"

"Lamp-chan, you need to think this through carefully. Are you going to side with the three outsiders, or do you want to back down?"

Following Su Shi's lead, Li Xi and Deng, who were initially unwilling to force You and collude with Su Shi, immediately looked at Kurokawa and Akane.

What came into view were three cold, somewhat xenophobic faces, all of which seemed to be deep in thought.

Yes, just as Su Shi said, once she spoke, everything was already beyond repair.

If we can't get Yu back in one go now, Akane Kurokawa and the others will definitely take Yu to other LiveHouses after today, and they'll never be able to meet up with Ring again.

Lixi felt a chill run down her spine in an instant... Mingming You had already been taken away, and she only had this tiny bit of happiness left. But now, even this last bit of happiness, were Akane and the others going to take it away from her?

No, she absolutely cannot accept that kind of future!

However, Yu looked really troubled.

Caught in a dilemma, Li Xi opened her mouth, unsure whether to support Su Shi. She subconsciously looked at Deng: "Deng, what do you think?"

"...I don't know." The lamp's eyes, like her gray hair, dimmed, and she knew nothing.

However, although he said he didn't know, the lamp did not stop Su Shi any further.

I don't know what to do, but unintentionally, I've already revealed a slight, subconscious bias from the deepest part of my heart.

Seeing this, Li Xi lowered his head and fell silent.

She dared not look at Yu, nor at Yukino and the others. At this moment... the two sides were undoubtedly enemies.

Lixi began to realize that, at times, she was also a coward.

She had always thought that she and Yu would be the guardians of the band, protecting everyone.

However, at this moment, the one who dares to fight and bravely face everything, to withstand all the pressure from outsiders, including Yu, is the one who always seems very gentle, Su Shi.

"Huh?" Aine was stunned.

Kind-hearted Aine certainly didn't want to see anyone being made difficult, but there was nothing she could do. With Lixi, Deng, and Su Shi already on each other's sides, if she spoke up against Su Shi, it would create a very awkward situation.

For a moment, Aine was a little anxious and didn't know what to do. She still wanted to continue being friends with Akane.

If Yu were to be snatched away by them, no matter how you look at it, she would only become their enemy for life, right?

"You'd better stop now, Su Shi. I don't remember you being this kind of person."

Faced with the sudden and steep development, Kamiya Yu couldn't help but feel a little overwhelmed.

Disbanding the band is impossible.

If this band breaks up, where will he find three more new members like Akane and the others, who are so well-off and can make money for Xiangzi the fastest?

It took a lot of effort to finally get to the point where we could work out together successfully.

In many matters, if Su Shi insists on forcing him, he is willing to make concessions for Su Shi's sake.

But that won't do—at least for now, preserving the band's priority is even more important than his bottom line of having to marry Xiangzi for life, and it's more important than anything else.

Although he could play word games, exploit loopholes in common parlance, and pull off tricks like "disbanding one second and regrouping the next," it was all in vain.

Normally, playing this kind of trick would amuse Akane and the others, making them unable to help but laugh.

However, if he did that now, it would be tantamount to him bowing down to Su Shi, meaning that Su Shi alone was more important than the three of them—although that was indeed the case, he absolutely could not show it.

Even if things develop in a positive direction and Akane and the others are willing to cooperate, they will inevitably harbor great resentment in their hearts. That resentment is like a time bomb, which could be detonated at any time in the future, causing even bigger problems.

Even if he wanted to give in, he couldn't give in no matter what!

Volume 1: Chapter 88, Section 87. Yukino Masuzu and Akane besiege Sose, breaking through the defenses.

"There's a limit to self-centeredness and talking to yourself. Haven't you had enough, Nagasaki-kun?"

Just as Kamiya Yu was still struggling with how to break the deadlock, Yukino Yukinoshita, like Riki, the straightforward member of the End Band, finally couldn't hold back and charged forward on the spot.

She had initially held back because she felt a connection with Shiina Ritsuki, hoping that Ritsuki would step forward and execute Nagasaki Motoyo. That way, the matter wouldn't be too serious, and she and Shiina Ritsuki could still get along well.

However, Shiina Tatsuki's behavior completely disappointed her!

really.

Mygo is not a friend, but an enemy!

Here, even someone as straightforward as Shiina Riki can't be trusted, let alone the vain and boastful brat Chihaya Aine, and the greatest evil in the world, Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I can understand that rats who are afraid to go out and face people and can only hide in the gutter are always dirty and filthy. But stealing a little cheese is enough. Who taught you to covet the sun in the sky? Aren't you afraid of having too big an appetite and dying from it?"

Yukino sneered, showing no mercy in her words. She didn't utter a single swear word, but the sarcastic effect she created was simply outrageous.

This is the cultural heritage of the old aristocracy.

However, despite being a nouveau riche, Su Shi was not afraid at all. She even went so far as to morally blackmail You. No matter how harsh the insults were, while she wouldn't be indifferent, she wouldn't be so angry as to shift her target.

Compared to being scolded to her face, as a semi-psychological master who manipulates Mutsu-chan all day long, and even someone who just successfully manipulated Ritsu-hime and Akari a second ago, Suze is now very clear-headed. Yukinoshita's condemnation is completely irrelevant. The most important thing is Yu's attitude.

Rather, the harsher Yukino Yukinoshita's insults are, the better.

In that case, You would eventually soften involuntarily and side with her, increasing her chances of winning.

Therefore, at this moment, Su Shi did not intend to retaliate. She simply looked at You and said calmly:

"This is the new guitarist you chose? He's not even half a finger as good as Mutsu-chan."

She completely ignored Yukino Yukinoshita.

Although everyone knows she's faking it.
