My Romance Simulation with Them

"If you are interested in us, please come to the performance hall to listen to our performance."

bow!

At the same time, the audience gave them a lot of support with applause.

It was under this applause that...

The drumsticks struck rhythmically.

The signal was simply the striking of the drumsticks.

The performance suddenly began.

Nanxiang looked up, listened to the familiar melody in his ears, and nodded silently.

As expected, this song was performed at the Ocha Festival.

The first song is called "Never Forget".

The next song, based on my memory from the simulation, should be "If We Could Become a Zodiac Sign Together".

This also perfectly matches the songs from the anime "Lonely Rock" that I remember...

However, the third song was originally supposed to be played in the anime, but it was because the first and second strings of Goto Ichiri's guitar broke.

This means that only two songs can be played.

But this time it's different.

He had already resolved the guitar malfunction issue with Goto Ichiri ahead of time.

The third song, which wasn't shown in the original anime, should also be able to be performed at this point.

While clapping to warm up the band as they finished, Nanxiang looked up at the girls on stage.

In fact, the band was in great spirits at the end of today.

Having experienced the awkward silence during their last typhoon performance, each of them has improved their mental fortitude considerably.

The audience below also gave them a warm round of applause.

Meanwhile, some people were shouting the names of Kita Ikuyo and Goto Ichiri.

They must be their classmates.

Nanxiang was very satisfied with the result and then waited to hear the next song, "If I Could Become a Constellation with You".

but--

The moment the lead guitar solo began, Nango Toki had already keenly sensed it.

"This is not 'If I Could Become a Constellation with You'."

Nanxiang looked up, slightly taken aback.

Yes.

It's not "If I Could Be Your Zodiac Sign," it's a different song!

Nango Toki could understand this from the prelude alone.

But...why?

If things develop as simulated, this stage will be the stage for this year's Ocha Festival.

The song the band will perform at the end should have already been decided... wait!

Nanxiang suddenly discovered something.

It's an obvious thing.

That is the addition of him as a variable factor.

Although I don't really believe in the butterfly effect.

But he met the End of the Band, and now he's tutoring the End of the Band.

It is quite normal for simulations to deviate from reality.

to be honest.

Simulations are just something like 'predicting the future'.

The addition of Nango to the scene naturally led to future changes.

This different song is probably a consequence of the changes that occurred after he joined the project.

"...I don't know what song it is."

Nanxiang looked up at the four members of the band who had just finished their performance.

There is no simulation for prediction.

Simply listen to the band's final performance.

This feeling... seems pretty good.

It was at this moment that Nango Toki realized that Goto Ichiri, who had already finished his solo performance, was quietly watching him.

Her eyes seemed to sparkle with an inexplicable brilliance.

It was very faint, like the light of a firefly in summer.

Although faint, it was enough to attract the attention of some people.

The song title is "Please Tell Me".

Goto Ichiri uttered the song's name in a soft, weak voice.

Then he raised his hand again.

hum!

The sound of the guitar roared up in the next moment!

At the same time, the lyrics are sung!

"I often think about things that don't need to be thought about."

"Because even if you think about it, it's meaningless."

"I'm not strong enough to face myself like this, like a cloud of self-loathing!"

Quickly slide your fingers across the guitar strings! Then press them down firmly!

The sharp, hollow sound tore everything apart.

Goto Ichiri's blue eyes were fixed on Nango Toki.

His lips were tightly pursed.

He showed a pained yet serious expression.

She was still playing.

The guitar is roaring!

The guitar is roaring!

It's like she's shouting with her guitar!

Those lyrics, woven line by line!

Like a reflection of her inner self.

"I'm a clumsy person!"

"I don't know how to express myself!"

The rapid drumbeats pounded on!

It felt like a blow to Nanxiang's chest.

"Laugh out loud when you're happy!"

"Cry it out when you're sad!"

"What should one do when feeling empty?"

Please tell me!

Please tell me!

The sound was torn apart.

The sound waves of the guitar pulled Nango Shi into her world.

The one who is trying to overcome their weaknesses.

That world of Goto Ichiri, who is striving to overcome her social anxiety and low self-esteem as taught by Nango...

What should I expect?

What exactly is happiness?

Is being with you happiness?

Please tell me!

Please tell me!

The voice was urgent, urgent, and even more urgent!

Why am I so happy when I'm with you?!

"This feeling of wanting to be with you!"

"The feeling of passionately working together with you!"

Please tell me!

Please tell me!

Please tell me!

The lyrics are like a personal confession.

In response, Goto Ichiri simply raised his eyes and looked directly at Nango Toki.
