In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

After the guitar solo ended, Kita Ikuyo's singing began again.

But at this moment, Chihaya Aine was no longer in the mood to pay attention...

Volume 1: Chapter 128 Ai Yin: Stop! I'm scared!

After the song ended, the four members of the band thanked the audience, then began packing up their equipment and preparing to leave the stage.

"Kita-chan!"

"Ichiri-chan!"

Chihaya Aine only came to her senses when she heard the shouts of her classmates around her.

Seeing the four people already walking off the stage, she turned to look at Shirakawa Sawa beside her, her eyes filled with shock and a hint of lingering satisfaction.

"Ze-kun, is this the only song that Ichiri-chan and the others have?"

Shirakawa nodded, turned and walked towards the bar.

Yes, there's only one song this time.

How is Ai-yin feeling?

He wasn't interested in the upcoming performance, so he went to the bar, ordered a drink, and sat down.

Chihaya Aine went along too, and excitedly expressed that...

“It’s really great!”

"Everyone is so competitive!"

"Especially Ichiri-chan's solo, I instantly got goosebumps!"

Shirakawa Sawa smiled and nodded, then couldn't resist teasing her, so he pretended to be earnestly inquisitive, looking at the girl in front of him.

"I also think Goto is amazing."

"But I can't quite put my finger on what makes it so powerful."

"Could you please explain this to me, Aine?"

"I remember you said before that you were the lead singer and guitarist in the band, so you must be quite knowledgeable about the guitar, right?"

Ai Yin was so overwhelmed by this smooth little combo that she didn't dare to utter a sound. She could only wear an awkward smile, her eyes began to dart around, and she made "eh-do eh-do" sounds while touching the stray hairs at her temples and thinking about how to deal with the problem.

Fortunately, Kita Ikuyo came over and greeted Shirakawa Sawa, which stopped him from staring at her and eased the awkward situation.

Chihaya Aine quickly looked away and saw that Goto Ichiri had also arrived. She immediately went up to him and began to praise his performance.

After chatting for a while, as more and more people entered the store, the band members who had finished their performance started working.

Seeing this, Chihaya Aine decided to go back and watch the live performance.

At this moment, Shirakawa Sawa asked,

"Aine, Lantern Girl and her band are going to have a live performance at another livehouse. Do you want to go?"

Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.

"Is Deng Jiang's band also performing today? What a coincidence!"

Her tone carried a hint of curiosity.

"However, I rarely hear Deng-chan mention anything about the band in class, so I don't even know where she plays in the band."

She needed to find out the details first, so she could be mentally prepared and avoid being caught off guard like Ichiri Goto.

Shirakawa Ze spoke with a smile.

"Deng Jiang is the lead vocalist and lyricist."

"Because her teammates are all from other schools, no one usually comes over to talk to her about this."

"But you've met all her teammates."

"The drummer and composer are external supporters for the school festival, Shiina-kun."

"On the first day of the event, two girls came to hang out with us. The one with long hair was the bassist, and the one with short hair was the guitarist."

Chihaya Aine immediately understood and recalled the two girls.

She was most impressed by the long-haired girl, because she sensed that the girl harbored desire for Shirakawa Sawa.

Although she wanted to go, she didn't immediately agree. Instead, she glanced at the three classmates still in the audience area.

After all, she had invited these three classmates, so she couldn't just leave them here and go to another place to watch a live show with them.

Shirakawa Ze noticed her concerns, so he spoke up.

"I'll go ask those three students if they'd like to go over there."

"If you'd like, let's go together."

Chihaya Aine nodded slightly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Ze-jun."

The process went quite smoothly. Shirakawa Sawa only mentioned that Takamatsu Akari would also be performing later, and the three of them agreed to go see it together.

Because the two places were some distance apart, after confirming the details, they said goodbye to Goto Ichiri and the others, then left STARRY and boarded the train.

When the group arrived at RiNG, it was already past seven o'clock, and the band's performance on stage was coming to an end.

As the music ended and the stage lights came back on, it meant the band's performance for the day was over.

After the thank-you speech, the band members walked off the stage, and then the host came on stage to begin the introductions.

"Next up, a newly formed band will perform for you."

"The piece they're going to play is—'The Starry Night'!"

"Please look forward to their performance!"

Upon hearing the announcement, Shirakawa Sawa straightened up slightly, focusing his attention on the stage, while quietly reminding Chihaya Aine beside him...

"The next song is about Deng Jiang and the others."

Chihaya Aine nodded, focusing her attention and beginning to look forward to it.

Two minutes later, the four members of the band took the stage.

The moment Takamatsu took the stage, his gaze swept across the audience.

Upon seeing Shirakawa Ze, a look of joy appeared in her eyes, and she nodded slightly to him.

The former immediately smiled and responded with an encouraging look in his eyes.

The other three members of the band naturally noticed Shirakawa Sawa as well.

After seeing the interaction between the other person and Takamatsu Akari, Shiina Riki smiled slightly, then sat down behind the drum kit and began to check the equipment.

Yoro Nai hummed happily, plugged in the effects pedal, quickly checked it, and then closed her eyes to get into the zone.

Nagasaki Motoyo initially wanted to give a response, but when she saw the other person making eye contact with Takamatsu Akari, she looked away and lowered her head to check the equipment.

After all, we're still on stage. If we keep staring at each other, we'll definitely get noticed.

Seeing that everyone was ready, Takamatsu Akari held the microphone and spoke, looking directly at Shirakawa Sawa.

"I'm very happy to be able to perform here today."

"I'm also very happy that you could come to my performance."

"I will do my best to convey my feelings!"

After she finished speaking, she bowed slightly to the audience.

At that moment, a staff member made a gesture, and the stage lights went out instantly, leaving only one beam of light falling on Gao Songdeng.

The performance has officially begun!

Seeing that Takamatsu Akari had finished speaking, Kaoru immediately began to pluck the strings.

She remembered what Shiina Tatsuki had told her before the performance: she could only start playing after Takamatsu Akari had finished her opening remarks.

After the opening chords, Shiina Tatsuki's drum kit and Nagasaki Motoyo's bass followed closely.

"It's true that the point of intersection is really urgent and the person is in a hurry..."

Takamatsu Takayuki opened his mouth, keeping the beat steady, his voice clear and powerful...

Seeing that the other party spoke smoothly, Shirakawa Ze was completely relieved.

Driven by an unwavering determination to succeed, Takamatsu Teng spared no effort.

At this moment, she didn't care whether anyone would say she was working too hard.

She just wanted to properly convey her feelings and fully express her thoughts.

As for everyone else.

Takamatsu Akari erupted, and Shiina Tatsuki naturally followed suit, beaming with joy and completely getting hyped.

Lena needs no introduction; her sheer talent alone will carry the team.

Motoyo Nagasaki has extensive performance experience and is capable of handling performances of this intensity with ease.

Overall, the performance was quite wonderful, everyone performed very well, and it was truly captivating.

After the song ended, the audience applauded.

Most people had no hope for this band that didn't even have a name, but the performance was unexpectedly good, which surprised them greatly, and they clapped even harder.

At this moment, Chihaya Aine looked at Takamatsu Akari and the others who were thanking the audience below the stage, and felt a little dazed.

Seriously, ladies, how come you're all so hot?

Aren't we just amateur band members?

Chihaya Aine glanced at the three classmates who had come with her; they were all discussing the performance with shining eyes.
