Zongman: Nagasaki Sushi's adopted brother

thump↘thump→thump↗thump→thump↘thump→thump↘thump→....

The spring shadow of reconciliation begins to play from this moment on. The sound is warm and moving, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through everyone's heart...

...

...

..

After finishing a day's work, Toyokawa Shoko emerged from her blue octopus costume.

Shoko Toyokawa breathed slightly, gently unzipped the blue octopus doll costume, and crawled out.

She stretched her body that had been restrained for the entire day, gently rubbing her sore shoulders with her fingers, a hint of fatigue in her eyes.

Despite this, there was a satisfied smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was obviously satisfied with today's reward.

There are a lot of customers at Ring today, and for a while even the capable Xiangzi was in a state of panic.

Although she tried her best to maintain a high level of work, she was still overwhelmed by the demands of the guests.

Why so many people came to Ring today?

Shoko Toyokawa sighed and stopped thinking about it. She rummaged through the patched inner pocket of her skirt and prepared to go to the convenience store to treat herself.

Instead, she took out the Ring performance ticket that Chihaya Aine had reserved for her.

Xiangzi looked at the ticket in her hand, slightly startled, with a flash of surprise in her eyes. She had just wanted to buy a bottle of drink to relax, but she didn't expect to find this ticket.

A smile appeared on Xiangzi's lips, and he was obviously happy about this unexpected discovery.

She decided not to go to the convenience store for the time being and instead went to Ring to watch a show.

It’s OK to enjoy music occasionally.

[That pink-haired girl is Chihaya Aine from Class A, right? She's the guitarist in the band with Byakuya.]

[I heard their band seems to be very popular]

[Since it's free, I'll go and see if Bai Ye's bragging about his keyboard skills is true.]

Xiangzi walked into the Ring performance hall excitedly. At this moment, the audience inside was packed to the brim.

She squeezed through with great difficulty and stayed in the last position.

There were so many people that for a moment, the vision of the slightly short Xiangzi was blocked by the girl in front of him wearing a cool T-shirt with short hair.

She frowned slightly and tried to find the figure on the stage through the gap, but her view was still completely blocked.

...

"but..."

“We are here now…”

"No matter what happens, I will never let go..."

"I will never let go..."

The familiar cry reached Toyokawa Shoko's ears, and she widened her eyes and shrank her pupils slightly.

[That's Xiao Deng's voice. Why is she here? ]

Shoko Toyokawa squeezed to the front like a madman and finally saw the faces of everyone on the stage clearly.

Nagasaki Suyo, Byakuya, Takamatsu Touma, Shiina Tatsuki, Goto Ichiri, and a wild cat that often passes by.

They were all people she was familiar with, friends past and present.

[Why? Why are you on stage? Has Kulaixiku been resurrected?]

The corners of Toyokawa Shoko's mouth sunken deeply, and her teeth bit her lips tightly.

And then, a familiar melody sounded.

I'm so familiar with Toyokawa Shoko that I know it's that song after just two preludes...

【Why are you doing this?】

【Why do you want to play Kasuga Shadow!? 】

Chapter 64 Toyokawa Shoko: I want to kill Aurora!

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

"I'm alone in this world"

...

Shiina Riki showed a happy expression and played the drum set. The leg that was not stepping on the bass drum was still shaking to the rhythm.

Although she was forced to join the performance, her face was filled with a happy smile, as if she was enjoying the freedom and happiness of this moment.

Goto Ichiri on the right was trying to sing harmony into the microphone, but her voice was too soft and she was mostly singing along in her head.

Despite this, she tried hard to integrate into the entire performance.

[At least... the guitar didn't suck this time... and... the harmony... I'll definitely do it next time...]

And Yao Lena on the right had an expression of enjoyment on her face. She found the feeling of breathing in this performance, and this feeling made her unconsciously spin around twice while holding the guitar.

Every movement of hers was filled with enjoyment of the music, as if she had found her home at this moment.

On the other side, Su Shi was even more outrageous. She didn't face the audience at all, but just faced Bai Ye alone and played the melody.

It was as if she was declaring that she only wanted to play this song for Bai Ye at this moment.

Su Shi faced Bai Ye, her fingers gently plucking the bass, each note filled with emotion. Her eyes revealed a hint of concentration, as if she was communicating with Bai Ye through music.

Bai Ye, who was playing for Su Shi, also restrained himself this time. He did not lead the whole audience as the controller, but turned into an attendant to escort the performers present.

Accompanied by the dim light of spring shadows, Bai Ye raised a silver parasol to shield everyone in the Takamatsu Light Band from the outside noise.

His movements were gentle yet firm, as if he was using the umbrella to protect every member of the band. The space under the umbrella seemed to become a warm haven, allowing everyone to immerse themselves in the music with peace of mind.

At this moment, Kasuga Ying was no longer depressed by the sad lyrics, but felt particularly warm because of everyone's performance.

Gao Songdeng's voice is like a spring breeze, gently blowing through everyone's heart, bringing a touch of warmth and comfort. Every word in the lyrics seems to be given new life, and under the interpretation of everyone, it becomes more vivid and touching.

Everyone on the stage had a relieved smile on their face, their faces filled with satisfaction and happiness.

The audience in the audience also swayed along with Gao Songdeng's gentle singing, like ears of wheat blown by the autumn wind, and were intoxicated by it.

The audience was immersed in the music, some closed their eyes gently, and some nodded slightly, obviously moved by the warm atmosphere.

The entire venue is filled with harmony and beauty, as if time has stopped at this moment.

Thanks to the efforts of the entire band, the already crowded performance hall welcomed even more audiences. Attracted by the warm atmosphere, people joined in this musical feast.

Only Toyokawa Shoko stood there quietly, not moving at all even when being squeezed by others.

Her lips were closed like a smooth glacier, without any gap.

At this moment she thought a lot, a lot...

I thought about my mother's death, the hard-earned Kulaixikun organization I had built, how my father was kicked out of the house for causing the family a loss of 168 billion, the hardships I endured to keep Kulaixikun going, and the pain of having to withdraw from Kulaixikun...

I really want to come back, Xiao Deng.

I'm so tired, Lixi.

[I really want to throw myself into your gentle embrace, Su Shi]

I miss you guys so much. I really want to go back to Kulaixiku.

At this moment, Kasuga Shadow is still playing, taking Toyokawa Shoko back to the past, that beautiful community of shared destiny.

“It makes people happy and obsessed”

"Shining on me who can't cry"

"The light gently carries me along"

The lights on the stage were still singing, and she stretched out her hand to the audience with a warm smile.

Shoko Toyokawa also reached out her hand towards the Takamatsu lantern on the stage in fascination.

Her hands trembled slightly in the air, as if trying to grasp the passing time. Her fingers stretched lightly forward, and her eyes revealed a hint of longing and reluctance.

It’s a pity that we can’t go back to the past.

Today I am here to tell you one thing: I want to quit suffering.

【This is my last time to come to Kulaixiku, so goodbye】

The words that had been said before echoed in Toyokawa Shoko's mind again, and those decisive words were like a cold blade, cutting through her heart.

Everything she once clung to had long been abandoned by her own hands, abandoned coldly, ruthlessly, and self-righteously.

"Woo——"

With tears in her eyes, Toyokawa Shoko withdrew her hand from Takamatsu Deng. Her fingers trembled slightly, as if bidding a final farewell to her past self.

[It’s so hard, there’s no place for me anymore]

She silently repeated these words in her heart, as if to comfort herself, and as if to remind herself not to look back.

Xiangzi looked at Bai Ye who was playing the piano with a smile, clenched his fists tightly, and dug his nails deep into his palms, as if he wanted to carve the pain into his bones.

[I have nothing to do with Kulaixiku anymore.]

My heart aches, but my mouth remains hard.

Toyokawa Shoko's heart felt as if it was being pierced by countless needles at the same time, each one carrying an icy chill, but she still clenched her teeth, unwilling to show any weakness in front of anyone.

Xiangzi's vision became increasingly blurred, and tears fell from her eyes like beads with broken strings, blurring her vision.

She bit her lips tightly until blood seeped out from the corners of her mouth.

Finally, tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto the ground, making a faint sound.

Xiangzi turned around abruptly, closed her eyes, lowered her head, and desperately squeezed out of the crowd. Her steps were a little flustered, obviously trying to escape from this painful place.

The crowd around was still immersed in the music and no one noticed Xiangzi's departure.

To them, this was just a stranger who left early.

"Boom-"

Xiangzi felt like he had bumped into something hard and fell to the ground.

When she came to her senses, she saw the girl with short hair and cool T-shirt who was handsome before reaching out to her, "Are you okay? I'm in a relatively strong state. I'm really sorry."

Hachiman Kailing was also depressed. She was enjoying Li Xi's powerful drum beats when she was suddenly interrupted by an impolite guy.

Xiangzi looked at Hachiman Kailing without saying a word, but unfortunately her tears had already exposed herself.

"Oh, does it hurt so much? You're even crying. Do you want me to take you to the health room?" Hachiman Kailing tilted her head and asked jokingly.

"No need..." There was a hint of trembling in Xiangzi's voice. She turned her head slightly, trying to avoid Hachiman Kailing's sight.

"Xiao Xiang!? It's Xiao Xiang, right?"

Sankaku Hatsuka, who was standing next to Hachiman Kailing, also noticed at this time that the person lying on the ground was Toyokawa Shoko, the only person she was thinking about.

"Are you okay? Does it hurt, Xiaoxiang?"

She squatted down excitedly and took out a handkerchief to wipe Shoko Toyokawa's tears.

At this time, the usually arrogant Toyokawa Shoko could no longer hold back.

She couldn't accept that she would show such an ugly appearance in front of her former "childhood sweetheart" - Sanjiao Chuhua.

"You got the wrong person."

"But...Xiaoxiang..."

"I said you got the wrong person!" Shoko Toyokawa stood up excitedly, then ran away without looking back.

Only the lonely-looking Sankaku Chuhua and the calm Yawata Kailing were left.

"Is it someone you know? Chuhua?"

"Probably...right..."

Sanjiao Chuhua lowered his head, his voice full of loss.
