I have pure love with them

After hearing Toyokawa Shoko's answer, Chihaya Aine felt that the other party was too cold and did not take into account the feelings between Nagasaki Shoyo and her at all. But thinking that Toyokawa Shoko was also worried about Nagasaki Shoyo, she endured it for the time being, but she had no intention of answering her.

"...Shuangshi hasn't come to the band's activities recently. If you want to know about Shuangshi...go ask Quan yourself. He's the only one who knows about Shuangshi now."

After she finished speaking, Aiyin had no intention of continuing the conversation with Toyokawa Shoko, who had a cold attitude. After answering, she turned around and left.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko, who was left behind, pursed her lips, stared at Chihaya Aine's leaving back, and fell silent.

284. What the hell do you think you are doing with a band?!

When the school bell rang, Hiroto Shioyama turned his head and looked at Izumi who was sitting at the table behind him.

"Today, after school, do you want to go shopping together?"

Izumi, who was wondering whether Nagasaki Soyo would attend the band's activities today and whether he would contact her, appeared in the apartment. After hearing what Hiroto Shioyama said, he looked at the boy sitting in front of him with a puzzled expression on his face.

"You and I?"

He pointed at the other person and then at himself.

"Well, of course. If you feel that there are not enough people, don't we still have Xiantang and...ah, Tokinoya seems to have a part-time job? He doesn't seem to be able to participate, but we can get three people together to form a small team. We can go to the 'Valley of Kings' or the 'Purgatory Town' for a stroll?"

For some reason, although it was clearly just about playing a game together, in Hiroto Shioyama's mouth, it sounded like a group trip abroad, full of the flavor of liveliness.

"Well, he does look very modern."

Perhaps because of his previous participation in a sports club, Hiroto Shioyama has nothing to do with the traditional label of "otaku".

Not only does he have a sunny and handsome face, but he also exudes a cheerful atmosphere. No matter how you look at him, he looks like someone who should be classified as a modern person.

He glanced in the direction of Goto Ichiri and found that the girl was lowering her head to organize her schoolbag and her eyes were secretly looking at him. Izumi thought for a moment.

'At present, the band members of Ichiri are basically all together, and they are participating in the band's activities every day. If I show up at the band at this time, it will easily cause... conflicts between her and Kita Ikuyo. It's not a big deal, but it will have some negative effects.'

Hiroto Shioyama noticed Izumi's gaze and looked in the direction of Ichiri Goto. Then when his eyes fell on Izumi, he reached out and gently patted Izumi's shoulder, chuckling at the same time.

"Forget it. Today, I'll just go back and finish the game."

"Ok?"

"Goodbye."

He didn't explain to Quan why he suddenly changed his mind. When Quan looked at Hiroto Shioyama, the other party had already picked up his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom.

"Are you leaving now?"

Watching Hiroto Shioyama leave, Izumi looked at Goto Ichiri and shook his head. He had no intention of going to the band activities with Goto Ichiri. He just walked slowly to his side and encouraged Goto Ichiri.

"Band activities, come on."

"Eh? Um... Izumi-san, aren't you going with us today?"

Seeing Izumi walking towards her, Goto Ichiri looked at her with a slightly uneasiness in her eyes. She found that after joining the band, the time she spent with Izumi seemed to be getting shorter and shorter.

Although she made new friends and had her own band, which made Goto Ichiri feel happy and satisfied, in her heart, apart from her family, the most important person was always Izumi.

She didn't want to distance herself from Izumi because of the band's activities. Compared to the days when they were separated after school, she wanted to be with Izumi, just like before she joined the band.

"I won't go today. I have something on my mind and I want to go check out the situation. Also... I have seen how hard you work, so I want to see you blossom on the stage next time."

Accompanied by a gentle smile, Quan's words were like a spring rain, which made Ben, who was still worried that Quan had no longer paid attention to her, feel greatly encouraged in her heart. A hot emotion flourished in her heart!

The slightly lost eyes, at this moment, burst into dazzling light.

"I, I will try my best! I will never let Izumi-san down!"

"I believe in you."

Looking back outside the classroom, Kita Ikuyo was cautiously peeking at the two of them from the door. She wanted to come in and talk to Goto Ichiri and Izumi, but she felt that the atmosphere between the two of them made her... unable to fit in?

"You've arrived just in time, Kita-san."

"Eh... have we been discovered?"

Kita Ikuyo, who was thinking about her current position, heard a familiar voice calling her name. She came back to her senses and looked at Quan with surprise.

"That fiery red hair, it's hard not to notice it, right?"

With a smile on his face, Izumi looked at Kita Ikuyo who was standing at the door of the classroom with gentle eyes.

"I just finished talking to Yili, so I won't disturb you from your band activities. I look forward to the day when you will be on the live stage. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

"Ah... um."

She thought she could take this opportunity to have more communication with Izumi, but before Kita Ikuyo could figure out what to talk to Izumi about, Izumi in the classroom had already walked out of the classroom, smiled at her, and left.

"..."

Looking back at Goto Ichiri who had already walked out of the classroom, there seemed to be an invisible flame surging from his body, and he looked very excited.

"I don't quite understand, but... Izumi-san means that if I appear on the live show, he will come to watch it?"

For a moment, Kita Ikuyo also became a little excited and silently cheered herself up in her heart.

"Goto-kun! Come on!"

"Ok!"

Goto Ichiri, who was already at the conclusion screen after the fantasy live successfully ended, nodded heavily.

……

"Ah, Shuangshi, you're finally back. I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't reply to my messages... Did something happen?"

Nagasaki Soyo, who had seen the news in the Line group in advance, pushed the door and entered the recording studio where the band was practicing, and saw everyone who were rehearsing.

In addition to the familiar band members, there was also a girl in a leather jacket whose dressing style was different from the others. She was also in the recording studio. Looking at the bass in the other person's arms, Nagasaki Soyo knew her identity.

Looking at Chihaya Aine who had a worried look on her face, Nagasaki Shoyo lowered his eyes slightly.

"My replacement? This place is already..."

Shiina Riki was sitting in front of the drum set, looking at Nagasaki Soyo who entered the recording studio. A look of dissatisfaction suddenly appeared in her eyes. She stared at Nagasaki Soyo who walked quietly into the recording studio, and opened her mouth to say something, but after a moment of silence, she held back.

"I'm sorry, something happened during this period, so I didn't come to participate in the band's activities... I came here today to say something..."

Takamatsu Deng, who was originally happy about Nagasaki Soyo's return, suddenly became nervous when he heard a familiar sentence structure, and looked at Nagasaki Soyo nervously.

Under the gaze of Gao Songdeng, Nagasaki Shoyo looked calm, slowed down his breathing, and spoke what he wanted to say in the calmest tone possible -

"I'm ready to quit the band."

"..."

The room suddenly became quiet, without a single sound.

Chihaya Aine, who was originally somewhat happy in her heart, gradually became confused and began to doubt whether she had heard it wrong. She looked at Nagasaki Shoyo with eyes filled with disbelief.

Having experienced the same scene once before, Shiina Riki clenched the drumstick in his hand, stared straight at Nagasaki Souyo, bit his lip, and his anger was accumulating.

"Ok?"

Kaname Lena looked at Nagasaki Soushi in confusion, then observed the reactions of the others and had some guesses in his mind.

'Is the band going to disband?'

Hachiman Kailin, who is the substitute bassist, originally came here to play the bassist only at the invitation of a friend. Now, after hearing the original bassist's resignation statement, she looked at Shiina Tatsuki in silence.

"Quit the band...why?"

Takamatsu Deng spoke with a trembling voice and asked Nagasaki Souyo the reason.

"The reason is nothing, actually. I just lost the goal of continuing the band activities. At the beginning, I just wanted to revive 'CRYCHIC', but now it seems that it is not working... I have given up, so I chose to quit the band."

"Are you kidding me?!"

Shiina Riki, who had been sitting quietly, stood up angrily. His already fierce slanted eyes looked even more angry at this moment, and he questioned Nagasaki Souyo in a harsh voice.

"What the hell do you think of a band?!"

285. Quan: It is worth the price of admission to be able to see such a scene.

Not long after arriving at 'RING', before Izumi had time to greet Shinji Rinrinko, he saw Nagasaki Soushi walking towards the gate.

"Ok?"

Although he knew that Nagasaki Soushi had returned today to participate in the band's activities, Quan was still a little surprised to see her walking towards the door so quickly, as if she was about to leave.

Before Izumi could come forward, a voice that was particularly familiar to Izumi came from behind Nagasaki Shoyo.

"Wait, Shuangshi...wait a minute!"

Chihaya Aine, with a look of anxiety and uneasiness, chased out from the recording studio, forcing Izumi to stop and keep a distance, quietly watching Nagasaki Shoyo, who also stopped at Aine's call, and Aine who caught up with Nagasaki Shoyo.

In the recording studio, Shiina Riki erupted in intense dissatisfaction with Nagasaki Soyo, criticizing him alone, but Nagasaki Soyo just nodded indifferently, and after listening to all of Shiina Riki's "crimes" against her, she asked softly -

"Any more?"

"If not, then I'll take my leave first. I wish you happiness."

After hearing what Nagasaki Soyo said, Takamatsu Deng's body couldn't help but tremble. She recalled that when she met Toyokawa Shoko when she entered school, the other party said the same thing to her.

Takamatsu Deng, who suffered a physical and mental shock, collapsed to the ground after Nagasaki Soushi left the recording studio.

Shiina Riki was angry inside, but cared more about Takamatsu Touma, so he stayed in the recording studio to take care of her. Kaname Rina was watching the situation and felt that things were getting a little weird. She wondered whether she should go home first. Hachiman Kairin saw that she could no longer practice, so she quietly packed up her bass and prepared to leave to participate in the next band's activity.

Only Chihaya Aine watched Nagasaki Soyo leave. After looking around, she decided to catch up with Nagasaki Soyo and ask her why she left the band.

"Wait, why?"

Aine hurriedly caught up with the leaving Nagasaki Soyo and stopped. She looked at Nagasaki Soyo with confusion and worry, unable to understand why she wanted to leave the band.

Looking back at Izumi's sister, Nagasaki Shoyo's eyes seemed a little complicated.

"I've already made it very clear why I left the band. Do I need to repeat it a second time?"

"…Is it because of Toyokawa-san's matter?"

"..."
