Lonely Rock for the Blind.

"We must outshine them in both rehearsals and the actual performance..."

"We understand, Captain. It's annoying that you keep emphasizing this."

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki's expression changed several times.

"Let's...start!"

With a command from Yuyuko Otsuki, a fierce rhythm resounded on the stage, constructing a massive structure like a skeleton.

Then came the bass and guitar sounds, and at that moment, Yuyuko Otsuki began to sing.

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru's fingers trembled slightly.

As expected of Yuyuko…

He looked slightly worried.

"...Wow...that's amazing..."

Kita Ikuyo's eyes darted around as she subconsciously spoke.

Then, Nekoyashiki Haru took her hand without saying a word.

"…Um."

Kita Yuyo nodded seriously, then met the gaze of the pink eyes on the stage.

Otsuki Yuuko, who had been staring at everyone, suddenly narrowed her eyes and focused her gaze on Nekoyashiki Haru and Kita Ikuyo's hands, which were quietly clasped together.

How...how could this be!

And it was Senior Haru who took the initiative to shake hands with him!

I'm singing right here!

The attention should be on me!

Yuyuko Otsuki gripped the microphone a little tighter, and her voice rose in pitch.

The other three people on stage were all taken aback, but quickly regained their composure.

The sudden change in tone gave the piece an indescribable and elusive emotion.

Like a Leviathan surging beneath a gray sea…

Yuyuko Otsuki closed her eyes and finished singing the entire song.

"…call…"

She took a deep breath, and her pink pupils immediately shot towards the direction where the band had finished.

how?!

***5 times

The band ended with all four members, including Nekoyashiki Haru, clapping.

The five people had different expressions: some were smiling, some were nonchalant, and one had his head buried in his hands.

"?"

Yuuko Otsuki felt a sudden tightness in her chest.

Shouldn't you...you all be afraid because of my spectacular performance...?

Yuyuko Otsuki grabbed Yuyu Uchida, who was standing to the side.

"Cough...How was I just now?"

"Her improvisation was amazing; she was as adorable as a ghost abandoned by her lover~"

Uchida smiled faintly.

"A...a female ghost?!"

Yuuko Otsuki suddenly took a few steps back.

"Ugh..."

She glared at the band once again as they finished playing.

So that's how it is... Is it composure and mockery?

I'm not a complaining woman...

Yuuko Otsuki twitched her nose.

then…

"[DEROS], the next band is coming up, don't take up your spot."

"Huh? Ah... okay, sure."

Ugh... my nose is even more sore.

Chapter 321 It's Okay

The performance ended perfectly.

Just as Nekoyashiki Haru had promised, the band members had a smooth performance of [Folt].

"Everyone was really great today. Manager Yin told me that she hopes you'll come again next time."

Nekoyashiki Haru said to the group.

"Actually, our performance is nothing compared to Ms. Otsuki's."

Ichi Nijika smiled and shook her head.

"That's right. Although we're not bad either, Ms. Otsuki's performance was much better."

Kita Ikuyo smiled and nodded.

"They're probably a little bit better than us."

Ryo Yamada held the fingertips out.

"Hehe...should I buy some designer brands too?"

Goto Ichiri began to mutter to himself.

"Someone in the audience recognized us just now. The influence of the End of the Band is also evident in [Folt]..."

"... "

Nekoyashiki Haru's lips twitched slightly.

"Okay... I know you're all very satisfied with today's performance. Shall we go out for a celebratory dinner later? It's on me."

Let's go to [JOJO Garden] for barbecue!

Nijika Ichi nodded and said.

"sure!"

Kita Yukiyo nodded.

"Isn't it too expensive..."

Goto Ichiri asked in a low voice.

"It's alright, Cat-kun is treating."

The group walked towards the door, where Otsuki Yuuko stood.

"... "

Yuuko Otsuki looked at the group.

"?"

Ichi Nijika tilted her head.

"What's wrong, Miss Otsuki?"

"that…"

Yuuko Otsuki's body stiffened.

She thought of blocking a few people at the door.

But I didn't know what to do next.

"How was my performance today, [DEROS]?!"

Yuuko Otsuki stood up for herself.

Come on! Show me how stressed you are!

"Hey? That's great!"

Nijika Ichi nodded and said.

"Gu..."

Yuyuko Otsuki pursed her lips, then glanced at Haru Nekoyashiki.

He then spoke to the others.

"I also want to join the [Unconfirmed Riot] End Band... We're rivals!"

"Yes, we know."

Ichi Nijika nodded again.

"... "

Yuyuko Otsuki's momentum weakened.

"So... are you guys going to the victory celebration now?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

Nijika Ichi continued to ask.
