Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

Yao Le Nai took Bai Ye around, her steps were light and agile, and it was obvious that she was very familiar with this area.

Bai Ye was a little out of breath, but still tried his best to keep up with Kaname Lenai.

After getting rid of the weak Deng, they finally reached their destination.

Bai Ye looked at the parking lot in front of him and suddenly blurted out, "Space..."

"Hmm, Space, my home..."

Kaname pointed at the house wrapped in green vines, a look of forlornness on her face. Her fingers trembled slightly, and a hint of nostalgia slipped through her eyes.

Space, once the holy place of girl bands, this is what Bai Ye heard from Hachiman Kailing.

Disruption, a band that Hachiman Kailing performs part-time for, often performed here before Space closed.

"Grandma's shop. I clearly agreed that I would play guitar here for the rest of my life."

“I thought it would last a lifetime, but now it doesn’t.”

"But she said that there will always be someone to create a new home."

"I can't understand what grandma said... just like what you said just now..."

Yamamoto Lenai was unusually lifeless, and the guitar he was carrying also began to fade into silence.

"Ah..." Bai Ye sighed, then invited Yao Lenai: "Want to come?"

"Hmm, what?"

"I can let you experience the destination you want."

"Um..."

"Then wait for me here..."

Bai Ye waved to Yao Lenai, turned around and ran away.

I remember Pochi's house was nearby. I took Xiangzi's advice last time and got Pochi's address. I didn't expect it would come in handy here.

"Bai Ye..." Gao Songdeng panted and came to Bai Ye.

Bai Ye was not paying attention and almost bumped into Gao Songdeng. He quickly dodged and cleverly went around him.

"Deng, wait for me here first, I'll be back soon."

...

Goto family.

At this time, Goto Ichiri had already retreated into the locker on the second floor with his guitar.

She rested her chin on the neck of the guitar, and could smell the rusty, old locker smell on her breath. The hem of her school uniform was wrinkled by her knees, and her left ankle was tucked awkwardly on the edge of the locker.

This posture was so cramped that it made one's legs numb, but the back gradually relaxed as it pressed against the cold wall.

As her fingertips stroked the strings, the unique vibration of the metal climbed up her spine and onto the back of her neck, as if someone was gently pulling the ends of her curly pink hair.

"Buzz——"

Ichiri Goto was trying hard to tune his guitar, preparing to play the recently popular song "I, Byakuya Will Never Make Peace with Nagasaki Soyo" and then post it on the Guitar Hero account.

[I can play...Master Bai Ye's music...I'm so happy]

She tried to strum the guitar lightly, and her body swayed back and forth in the small space, while she smiled foolishly and hummed softly.

“Paddle—”

The locker door was opened instantly, and Goto Ichiri turned his head in a daze. The person who came into his sight was the Lord Bai Ye whom he had just imagined.

"Master Bai Ye...why...why...are you here?"

"No time to explain, I have to go, Pochi."

Bai Ye reached out and grabbed Goto Ichiri, whose body was still stiff, dragged her out, and then clamped her around his waist.

"What...what...is this...going to do?"

"Go help a lost cat find its home."

Bai Ye gave Goto Ichiri a bright smile, causing her face to start to turn red.

Just like that, Bai Ye and Goto Ichiri went to Space...

Chapter 53 Cat: I want to play with you~

Space, a former sanctuary for girl bands, is now a parking lot.

"Are you ready, everyone?" Bai Ye took out the keyboard and placed it in the parking lot, looking at Goto Ichiri, Takamatsu Touma and Kaname Rakuna on the side.

There was excitement in his voice and his fingers tapped lightly on the keyboard, obviously preparing for the upcoming performance.

Goto Ichiri's spirit was still in his home, and he didn't come over for a while, "No...no...what's going on?"

"Aren't you coming?" Seeing this, Yao Le Nai walked towards Goto Ichiri, put her nose against Goto Ichiri's cheek and sniffed.

This made Goto Ichiri, who was already very nervous, even more nervous.

She instantly turned into a hammer snake and crawled on the ground.

"Hey~ Interesting woman."

Yao Lenai also became interested, so he squatted down, stretched out his cat paws, and gently touched the hammer snake on the ground.

Her movements were gentle and slow, and her eyes revealed a hint of curiosity and amusement.

Goto Ichiri, who was poked, could only twist his body to avoid Kaname's teasing, "Please...please let me go..."

Bai Ye looked at the cat Kaname Rakuna who was playing with the hammer snake Goto Ichiri, and then looked at the little penguin Takamatsu Deng who was still in a state of confusion.

The corners of his mouth curled up into a wry smile.

The title of zoo director was quietly established for the future Shiina Riki.

"Karenai, come back."

Ask Lenai to listen to Bai Ye's call, stop teasing Goto Ichiri, and pick up the guitar and stand still obediently.

"Haruhi Kage, is this okay?" Byakuya asked, looking at Kaname Rakuna and Goto Ichiri. There was anticipation in his voice, and a hint of encouragement in his eyes.

Goto Ichiri, who had recovered, raised his hand timidly, "Of course... I've been practicing this with everyone recently... Byakuya-sama."

"Hmm~I don't know~" Kaname shook her head.

"Then Lenai, just follow Pochi's rhythm. Even if you make mistakes, keep going. I know you're a genius..."

"Hmm..." Kaname nodded in agreement.

After arranging everything, Bai Ye looked at Takamatsu Deng who was in the middle of the four people.

Gao Songdeng placed her hand on her chest and bowed her head firmly. Her fingers clenched into a fist, her heart filled with nervous anticipation.

“Let’s do this together…”

As the keyboard is pressed, a soothing music plays and the scenes of past spring emerge, but they are different from the past, as new buds begin to grow.

Bai Ye's fingers danced gently on the keyboard, and every note seemed to flow out from the bottom of his heart, carrying a hint of warmth and hope.

Music is like a spring breeze, gently blowing through everyone's heart, bringing tranquility and peace.

Spring Shadow

"My heart is filled with haggardness and my eyes are wandering"

"I'm alone in this world"

...

Kaname Rakuna followed Goto Ichiri's rhythm and slowly became familiar with the entire Kasuga Kage repertoire.

Her fingers gently plucked the strings of the guitar, and her movements gradually became smoother from the initial awkwardness.

Simple music, simple rhythm, simple lyrics, simple everything...

That’s what Lena originally thought.

"In this fading spring"

[Why? I can breathe in this song]

“Every year I just feel cold”

After Space closed, I never breathed properly again.

"Walking forward in one direction in the darkness"

【But this time, I can enjoy the fresh air】

Kaname Lenai looked up at the singing lamp. It was the singing of the lamp that allowed her to live truly for a short time.

In that clear melody, she seemed to have found her former self. Those forgotten memories and those unspoken emotions were all awakened at this moment.

[Wildcat, you feel it, right? Then let me, the world's number one keyboard player, be your villain for once.]

Then Bai Ye pressed the most critical key on the keyboard, the rhythm of the music suddenly accelerated, and Kasuga Ying began to change.

Kasuga Shadow has changed, or rather, the guitar has changed.

Kaname's guitar was swallowed by the night.

Bai Ye's music was like a giant monster, opening its mouth wide and swallowing up Lenai's melody easily. It was like a kitten being swallowed by a giant beast, without any power to resist.

[Monster, why do you deprive me of the right to breathe?]

【Absolutely not allowed】

Kaname gritted her teeth and her fingers plucked the strings quickly, her movements becoming rapid and powerful.

The guitar melody has a sense of tenacity and indomitable spirit, as if fighting against the devouring force.

The cat in the fantasy also began to stretch out its claws and scratched at the monster fiercely.

[Wildcat, you are so innocent and sincere, but it’s not enough]

The keyboard changed direction again, and this time Bai Ye released all the strength of his right hand.

His fingers swept across the keyboard like a gust of wind, and every key seemed to be given life. The melody of the music was like surging waves, one after another, almost drowning the entire space.

In the music of the white night, the image of the monster becomes clearer and clearer. Its body is like a moving mountain, and every movement carries unmatched power.

In the face of this power, the sound of Kaname's guitar seemed so small, as if it would be crushed at any time.

[No, I can’t beat him...]

Difficulty breathing

Kaname Lenai looked at the huge monster and gently released the hand holding the pick.

Her fingers trembled slightly, and a hint of fear flashed in her eyes, clearly overwhelmed by the monster's aura. She retreated slightly, as if seeking a safe distance.

Just when she was about to give up, a cowering hammer snake joined the fray.

That's Goto Ichiri.

[Byakuya-sama... why did you mess up the performance... No... I have to save this show]

Goto Ichiri lowered himself completely, as if pressing his head against the guitar. His fingers plucked the strings rapidly, his movements becoming rapid and powerful, as if he were fighting against the engulfing force.

For a brief moment, the full power of the guitar hero was unleashed.

The music's melody was filled with a sense of tenacity and indomitable spirit. Her performance was like a stream of clear water, breaking through the oppression of the white night music and bringing a glimmer of hope and vitality.

In the illusion that Kaname saw, the timid hammer snake was protecting her while fighting the monster.

Although Goto Ichiri is small, she is extremely agile. She shuttles between the monsters' attacks and protects Kaname Rakuna with all her strength.

Unfortunately, their opponent is Bai Ye, a monster that cannot be defeated without true determination and faith.

[No, it’s still not enough]

However, my breathing became a little smoother.

The loosened pick was reattached, like a cat riding a hammer snake.

Kaname Rakuna's movements became swift and agile, her fingers plucking the guitar strings quickly, as if in sync with Goto Ichiri's heartbeat.

The two animals teamed up, working together to fight the monster. The music became more intense, as if expressing their courage and determination.

[Just like this, it's not enough, I want to breathe more]
