Gravity Girl Shining

Toyokawa Shoko immediately interrupted Nagasaki Suyo's fantasy, although she didn't know much about the specific situation of MyGo.

but……

"Sushi, you're already a member of MyGo! And Deng and Lixi, didn't you form a new band? Why are you still obsessed with Crychic? What is MyGo to you? What you say and what you do are contradictory!"

Shoko Toyokawa couldn't help but raise her voice. The series of questions made her hand holding the teacup slightly tighten, making a short, harsh, crackling sound.

Nagasaki Suyo, you are so obsessed with Crychic, so are you using and deceiving Xiang?

The friendship of the past was gradually eroding, and for the first time, the irritability in his heart outweighed his guilt towards Nagasaki Suyo.

If it was Nagasaki Suyo in the morning, she would have been defeated by this question.

However, she received forgiveness from that person.

"Because Crychic is our shared destiny, I want it back. As for MyGo, it is also a new place of warmth that I have found."

His left hand was placed on his chest, as if Uehara Hibiki's encouragement was still lingering on it.

"I have confessed everything to Xiang. I will manage my time and take care of the activities of both bands at the same time. I will definitely not cause trouble to either party."

Uehara Hibiki, do you know all this?

Toyokawa Shoko's irritability quickly subsided.

Only after calming down did she become more aware of Nagasaki Suyo's sorrow.

Uehara Hibiki was indulging her, he was really too gentle, and that kind of thing would also make Nagasaki Suyo unable to see the future clearly.

Toyokawa Shoko wouldn't do that.

Although it seems cruel now, for the sake of Nagasaki Suye's future, she needs to shatter Suye's unrealistic fantasies with her own hands.

"Su Shi, being in charge of two bands at the same time is just wishful thinking on your part."

"I can do that. I won't let you conflict with Hibiki."

"What about Deng? Can Deng write different lyrics for different bands? And Lixi, will she allow herself to not devote all her energy to one band, but to try to be both? Sushi, can you represent the group you're talking about?"

Shoko Toyokawa's question hit the nail on the head.

The so-called part-time job in two bands is just Nagasaki Suyo's self-righteousness.

There are indeed people who serve in different bands, but not everyone has the luxury.

Nagasaki Suyo was just talking to herself, imagining such a future, without considering any feasibility at all.

Nagasaki Suyo, who thought her plan was perfect, was thwarted and tried to organize her words.

The next plan was launched, the next lifeline.

"In that case, Xiangzi, you and Mu should join MyGo as well. Deng and Lixi will definitely welcome you back. Then I'll convince Xiang to change the band's name to Crychic. A band doesn't have to consist of five people; eight can also form a band. Plus, with more people, it'll be more like a big family. Then the warmth of Crychic will surely make everyone happy."

As if she was under some kind of evil spell, Nagasaki Suyo became more and more excited as she spoke, as if she saw her own nonsense really become reality, and all she needed was a nod from Toyokawa Shoko to realize it immediately.

"How are you going to convince Hibiki?"

"I have my own means."

Nagasaki Suyo looked at her new skirt. Since Uehara Hibiki was a boy, Nagasaki Suyo had no shortage of capital to "convince" him.

For Crychic and to compensate Uehara Hibiki, she can pay this price.

But for Shoko Toyokawa, this was just another ridiculous struggle.

Sushi, some mistakes are irreversible. I am no longer the Toyokawa Shoko who could bring you happiness. You can no longer rely on me. To find happiness, you should choose someone else.

"I'm sorry, Sushi. It's my fault for trapping you in the illusion of a shared destiny."

Xiangzi, what are you going to do?

"Stop living in the past. Crychic is over, and there's no going back."

No, that's not right.

"We all have to move on, even if that means giving up something."

Absolutely not! Nagasaki Suyo's breathing began to quicken.

"At that time, I presumptuously thought Crychic would last forever and become our future. But that was just wishful thinking on our part. Crychic wasn't special."

Unforgivable.

Crychic is an incomparable memory that makes Nagasaki Suyo indulge in it, like a madman. Even Xiangzi, who denies the uniqueness of Crychic and wants to give up Crychic, can never be forgiven!

"It was Xiangzi who invited me back then, and you took it upon yourself to bring me happiness, only to suddenly disappear. How irresponsible!"

Toyokawa Shoko's expression froze instantly, a flicker of pain and guilt in her eyes. Her voice trembled slightly, but she still tried to maintain her composure.

Looking at the silent Toyokawa Shoko, Nagasaki Suyo's eyes completely lost their luster.

"It's all Xiangzi's fault."

Tears welled up in Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, but she quickly turned her head away, not wanting the other person to see her vulnerability.

"Irresponsible... maybe. But I don't regret it. My decision to leave Crychic that day was one I made after careful consideration. What I regret is not being able to say goodbye to you properly, and instead hurting you."

She lowered her head, and her voice became softer and softer, as if she was talking to herself.

"So I want to apologize, I want to make it up to you. As long as you can forgive me, I'm willing to do a lot for you, but not Crychic."

Nagasaki Suyo's "sorrow" also overwhelmed Toyokawa Shoko, and she could only repeat the words of apology and compensation in vain. If she could, she would rather Nagasaki Suyo scolded her, but reality was not so gentle.

Nagasaki Suyo, who was once a noble and kind person in Toyokawa Shoko's heart, has now become such a pitiful person.

This was more painful than simple accusations, and Toyokawa Shoko realized it deeply.

it's all my fault.

Feelings of self-blame whipped Shoko Toyokawa.

"Nagasaki Suyo, I admit that I owe you an explanation, but some things... are beyond my control. If you hate me, then hate me. At least this way, you can let go of the past and take a new step."

After leaving her final words, Shoko Toyokawa took the bill on her own initiative, leaving Nagasaki Suyo alone.

"Xiangzi! If everyone is here, and if I can convince everyone, would you be willing to come back?"

Nagasaki Suyo made a final struggle.

Shoko Toyokawa didn't dare look back to observe her expression. She just held back her tears and walked out of the cafe.

Looking up at the sky, Tokyo in mid-May was unusually covered with a layer of dark clouds, as if heavy rain was about to come.

……

Dark clouds gathered until nightfall, blocking out even the moonlight.

In the family restaurant, Uehara Hibiki noticed that Toyokawa Shoko was acting a little strangely.

"Xiangzi, why are you unhappy today? I've made such a huge fortune, I should celebrate."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the delicious food but had no appetite at all. This was clearly a rare opportunity to improve the food, and it was clearly to celebrate for Xiang.

"sorry, I……"

After her first meeting with Nagasaki Soyo, this matter has been weighing on her mind. She felt that she could handle it, so she never told Uehara Hibiki.

But judging from the situation when they met for the second time, she felt overwhelmed, and the changes in the world were so great that she felt unfamiliar with it.

Do you want to ask Xiang for help?

Although that would be like admitting defeat, Toyokawa Shoko said that she was willing to do a lot to compensate Su Shi.

After telling what happened this afternoon, Shoko Toyokawa looked at Hibiki Uehara, eager to get an answer.

I hope that Uehara Hibiki can create miracles like before.

But Uehara Hibiki just shook his head.

"It takes the person who tied the bell to untie it. Ultimately, the internal affairs of Crychic must be resolved by you, Xiangzi. As an outsider, I can only lend a hand when appropriate. You can't rely on me for everything."

Toyokawa Shoko naturally knew this as well.

However, the continuous blows made her lose some of her confidence, and she subconsciously wanted to rely on Uehara Hibiki's presence.

He is like a poison that makes people addicted to it unconsciously.

Shoko Toyokawa bit her lip and fell into deep thought.

"So, do you two understand?"

Uehara Hibiki turned around and looked at Takamatsu Touma and Chihaya Aine on the other side of the table.

Deng still looked dazed, paying no attention to the discussion just now. He was concentrating on wiping the newly collected stones.

As for Aine, she definitely understood, but just like Uehara Hibiki had said, it was difficult for outsiders to intervene in this troublesome matter, and it would ultimately require a settlement between the parties involved. It was difficult for Uehara Hibiki to resolve it directly, not to mention that she knew very little about Crychic.

It's just that, based on the few words I just heard, combined with the previous fragmentary information.

Chihaya Aine could vaguely sense what kind of troublesome band Crychic was back then.

When it comes to musicality, there is Xiangzi; when it comes to interpersonal relationships, there is Xiangzi; when it comes to team spirit, there is Xiangzi; when it comes to future goals, there is Xiangzi.

Everything revolves around Shoko Toyokawa. When Shoko doesn't come to practice, the other four wait in the practice room without saying a word to each other.

This kind of team relationship is definitely unhealthy.

Although the band naturally collapsed after Shoko Toyokawa left, even if Shoko stayed, Crychic would definitely have various problems in the future.

It's just that Crychic died at the best moment before those problems were exposed.

That's why Su Shi misses Crychic so much.

But before this, Aine had never imagined that the seemingly gentle and reliable Nagasaki Motoyo had such a side.

Is she very lonely, having no close friends?

Normally in the band, Nagasaki Suyo was the one who took care of her, so after Hibiki and Shoko resolved the Crychic issue, she would have a good talk with Suyo.

As for now.

"Okay, Hibiki, I got it. I'll keep an eye on Tomorin and report back to you if anything happens."

Glancing at Toyokawa Shoko who was still lost in thought, Aine's eyes rolled. She was very understanding today and gave up the seat opposite Xiang to Shoko who had something important to discuss, so... she had to charge some interest.

Turning to Uehara Hibiki, the two of them began to communicate with each other through eye contact.

Are we done with the business?

That’s it, so you want to?

That’s right, I want a kiss, and now is the time.

Okay, as you say.

Plan No. 2.

When Shoko Toyokawa came to her senses from her thoughts, Takamatsu Deng was the only one left at the table.

"Light, where did Xiang and the others go?"

The honest Takamatsu Touma answered.

"Toilet."

"Oh."

Toyokawa Shoko didn't notice.
