Chapter 47 47. Butterfly Dance

Seeing Futaba Tsukushi and Saki coming back hand in hand, Yashio Rui's eyes revealed an emotion of "as expected". She knew that Futaba Tsukushi was a child who needed care, and she also knew that Saki was the kind of person who liked to take care of others. It was only natural that things turned out like this.

The other girls didn't feel anything. Some teased Futaba Tsukushi's ability to get lost, some chose to comfort her because they were worried about her, and some praised the girl for facing her vulnerable side and becoming more and more reliable.

Listening to her friends' voices, Futaba Chikushi puffed out her chest slightly and accepted all of them, because what everyone said was her true side, which, although one-sided, was absolutely pertinent.

Besides, she was willing to tell everyone that she was lost, so she naturally wouldn't refuse these kind words. Even if it was Toruko Kiritani who teased her, she would turn around and comfort her, although her thinking might be a bit strange...

But at the same time, Futaba Tsukushi also held Saki's hand tightly. For her, Saki, who appeared at the critical moment and thought of ways to care for her and encourage her, was an extremely rare good friend, and she wanted to cherish him.

After a few minor setbacks, the girls arrived at the guesthouse that Saki had booked.

Taking into account the AA system here, Saki has taken both price and comfort into consideration. This B&B has enough rooms to provide a private and quiet living environment; there are also large houses suitable for group building for girls, so group training can be easily arranged.

Most importantly, this place is very close to the venue of the music festival auditions, so you can fully experience the lively atmosphere.

In order to attract as many tourists as possible and boost consumption, the Kyoto Music Festival focuses on pan-entertainment and youth. The audition venue is located in a park on the outskirts of the city and has been expanded to a certain extent, which can easily accommodate more than a thousand people. If you ignore the unpleasant experience brought by the crowds, the number of spectators can exceed three thousand.

The temporary shops that appeared around the music festival were able to form a relatively complete shopping street, which further allowed the girls to feel the hot trend of the era of big girl bands, with excitement and tension coexisting.

Although Saki released two songs, Morfonica is of course Tsuki no Mori's, everyone's Morfonica. The specific songs to be released were definitely decided through internal discussion, and she simply abstained. Anyway, Kurata Mashiro hasn't encountered any bottlenecks recently, and the lyric writing process has been relatively smooth.

What's more, her suggestion of "everyone working together, integrating thoughts and feelings, and jointly creating lyrics" also worked, and the songs she released can be put aside for discussion.

However, after a tour of Kyoto, the girls decided to use "Don't Say Lazy." However, they wanted to do so midway through the competition, as they hadn't yet created a song with a similar style. Forcing two songs of different styles into the mix would easily result in an awkward situation where the sum of the two would be less than the sum of the two.

The girls felt that this song was very suitable for the slow-paced life of young people in Kyoto, especially after visiting the school building of Toyosato Town Toyosato Elementary School. They felt that Toruko Kiritani would definitely be the most suitable student council president for this school!

For a moment, even Touko herself couldn't tell whether everyone was praising her, had high expectations for her, or simply wanted to tease her. She felt the most likely possibility was the latter, pure teasing!

Although she has a glamour style, enjoys manicures, and sometimes does skim past the passing line, her carefree side also gives her a bit of a déjà vu. When she talks about laziness, she does think of not tidying her room. Speaking of rest, she does like it...

[Oh no, why do I feel like he's talking about me when I think about it?!] But her thoughts were simple: [But the master said this song was based on Monica's daily thoughts, so it's not just my fault, everyone has a share!]

Toruko Kiritani felt that everyone had done it, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed, and even wanted to "fight back".

Playing around has always been Monica's daily routine, and it's also Toruko Kiritani's favorite part of the day. Even with one more person and everyone arriving in Kyoto, the routine remains unchanged: having lunch together, practicing ensembles together... until the music festival begins.

"There are so many people in the audience..." The silver-haired girl who was peeking from behind the scenes saw the crowd talking in low voices with expectant smiles on their faces. She was so nervous that even her calves began to tremble.

At this time, Futaba Tsukushi was a little overwhelmed. On the one hand, he wanted to adjust to his best condition, and on the other hand, he was worried that his teammates would make mistakes and cause him to make mistakes as well. Although he was not as nervous as Kurata Mashiro, he was not far off, and he had to try hard to adjust his breathing.

Kiritani Touko, who was most prone to making mistakes but also made significant progress, noticed the girl's nervousness and habitually teased her before speaking to her in comfort: "Don't worry, Tsukushi, I'm very strong now, I can definitely win!"

She thought Tsukushi cared about winning or losing.

Hiromachi Nanami smiled wryly and explained, "I don't think Chikushi-chan is thinking about that. Besides..." She was more worried about Mashiro's condition than Chikushi herself. After all, Mashiro was the one who was most easily nervous and afraid.

At this time, Saki's slender hands had already exerted force.

The girl's slender hand landed on the silver-haired girl's head and gently stroked it: "Little Mashiro, didn't Grandma Tsuzuki already recognize your growth when you were in space? Now all you have to do is be confident, look forward, and bring out your talents.

Everyone believes in you and stands by you."

As the saying goes: The first time is a great effort, the second is weaker, and the third is exhausted. In fact, the same is true for comfort and encouragement. Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, you will inevitably develop "immunity", which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the encouragement.

However, although it was not the first time that Saki comforted and encouraged her, Kurata Mashiro still felt greatly encouraged by it. She successfully suppressed the tension in her heart, and a determined light gradually emerged in her blue eyes.

"Good girl, good girl~" Saki touched Kurata Mashiro's head, then took the girl's hand, "Then, let's form a circle. Everyone's thoughts will be combined into one at this moment~"

The girls gathered in a circle, smiling at each other, looking at each other, feeling each other's presence, as if all the tension and insecurity had flown away.

Holding the microphone and gazing at the crowd, Kurata Mashiro let out a long sigh. "Hello everyone, we're Morfonica, a girl band from Tokyo Tsukinomori Girls' Academy. We're thrilled to be here with you all. We find forming a band a truly joyful experience, and we hope to share the joy of music with you all. So, please listen to our original track: 'Daylight'!"

Under the dreamlike lights and before the illusory waves of glow sticks, the young butterfly spreads its wings and flies towards tomorrow.

Chapter 48 48. Good practice will be rewarded, bad practice will be punished (

"Master, look, the reviews online are all praising our Monica, see~" The premiere was a huge success, and the votes soared. No matter how you look at it, she is on track to break through the auditions. Not only did Toruko Kiritani hold on to her phone and refused to let go, she also kept moving towards Saki, wanting to share her joy with her.

In fact, this is not the first time.

When sharing the joy, the blonde girl first looked for Saki, then went to find other people, and then came back to Saki.

"Yes, yes, I completely understand." Looking at Toruko Kiritani who was too excited to sleep, Saki just found it funny and thought: [Where did this big golden retriever come from?]

This is more than just normal activity. Are they planning to stay up all night? They're already like this in the preliminary rounds, what are they going to do in the group stage?

Before Saki could speak, the impatient Toruko raised her arms and said excitedly, "Okay! It's decided. We'll have a celebration party tomorrow!"

"Eh? But didn't we just celebrate the successful completion of the performance?" Tsukushi was talking to Mashiro and Nanami. When he heard Tohru's words, he could hardly suppress his smile: Celebrating the same thing twice? Isn't that too much?

"That's right, Touko-chan, it's really weird, isn't it?" Mashiro agreed.

For her now, it is fun to form a band, to perform together, and most importantly, to be with everyone. Moreover, from being nervous at the beginning to successfully controlling the stage, she has felt her own progress and has become deeply fascinated by this feeling of steady improvement.

Mashiro was so happy that she didn't know what words to use to describe her feelings at the moment; because of this, she felt that the practice of "celebrating one thing twice" was not rational and mature enough.

Mashiro wanted to grow up and mature, to be as indifferent to fame and fortune as Saki. So she agreed with Tsukushi's opinion.

I’m a grown-up now, no longer the immature me from junior high, so…

Well, in her heart she actually wanted to celebrate once more, once to celebrate the successful completion of the performance and once to celebrate her own growth; but she felt that this approach was not mature at all, so she chose to oppose it.

But in fact, she still wanted to celebrate.

"Eh? How come even Baibai is... Nanami?" Touko immediately turned to Hiromachi Nanami for help, hoping to find a reliable ally.

"I... ahaha, I think this is not a bad thing." Nanami noticed that Mashiro was insincere, and knew that Tsukushi was not really against celebrating again, but just felt it was unnecessary. So after some thought, he said something ambiguous: it could be considered as either agreement or disagreement.

"Just celebrate, as long as you focus on practice and don't think about going out to play." Saki felt that Ruwei would most likely not agree with Tohko's idea, so she made a compromise suggestion.

Saki felt it was a good deal to finalize the subsequent daily arrangements by using repeated celebrations as compensation.

After hearing Saki's idea, Ruwei's eyes lit up, so she agreed: "I have no objection, but I don't know what Kiritani-san thinks."

Touzi was shocked: "Master?!"

She hadn't expected her beloved master to plot against her in such a place, and she felt a sense of disillusionment. Trading a mere celebration for subsequent playtime? What kind of unequal treaty was this?!

"Oh, I think it's feasible!" Tsukushi immediately understood the benefits of this suggestion and changed his words decisively.

Saki then looked at Touko with a smile and asked, "How is it? Everyone's almost agreed. It's just you, Touko. As long as you agree, we can set off early tomorrow morning and even have fun all day long."

Saki could tell at a glance that Mashiro was actually looking forward to celebrating again, so she didn't ask her what she thought.

At this moment, Tohko felt that Saki's image had become "taller", and seemed to be saying: Make a choice, give up the celebration for the sake of the subsequent slacking time, or swear allegiance to me!

In order to help Tohru make up her mind, Saki specifically said "play for a whole day" in order to make Tohru waver: Tohru is a hard worker and will definitely abide by what she says. Saki wants to use this method to make Tohru commit herself to hard practice.

Saki also added, "If you make significant progress in ensemble practice, we can even have a consolation dinner~ Didn't Touko-chan say she wanted to eat kaiseki cuisine before?"

Under the light, the cherry-red luster on Saki's lips seemed to reflect a special magic that could make people fall in love with her.

After seizing the girl's ambition and tempting her with benefits, Saki could not imagine the possibility that Touko would refuse.

After hesitating for a long time, Touzi gritted her teeth and said in a pained voice, "I know, but Master said we can play for the whole day, right?"

Touzi knew her guitar skills weren't up to par. She'd always wanted to improve, and now, at such a crucial time as a music festival, she wondered: would she agree to an "unequal treaty" and tie herself up in knots? No, it was a case of willing individuals taking the bait!

"That's right~ And, there's a reward for good work~" Saki said in a very seductive tone. She even reached out and helped Touko tuck a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing her delicate ears.

That is to say, there are too many people here, so it is difficult for Saki to perform well.

Otherwise, she would lean close to Touzi's ear and whisper something to her in a soft voice.

To make up for this missing part, Saki's slender fingertips slid down along the lines of Tohru's face, and his expression became playful: "But if Tohru doesn't perform well..."

Saki paused for a moment, the smile on his face growing even brighter. "There will be a punishment~"

That tone, that look, Touzi felt that her whole body was in a state of trembling, as if she was being stared at by some dangerous person.

of.

[It's...it's an illusion. Master has always been a gentle and kind person. How could this happen? It's an illusion, haha...] She thought so, but the more Touzi thought about it, the more guilty she felt. There was a sense of forcedness in her smile.

Of course, Saki is a good person. She fulfilled her promise to take the girls out for a day, and she spared no effort to teach Tohko how to practice guitar. After Tohko made progress, she even took the girls out for a big meal.

In the harmonious atmosphere, Mashiro's inspiration was almost endless and the girl's condition was also excellent. Morfonica made great progress and successfully entered the semi-finals.

This time, they were facing a girl band that was also quite famous in Kyoto, but the girls were full of fighting spirit and did not show any signs of nervousness.

Just as the Morfonica group took the stage, a petite girl wearing cat-ear headphones folded her arms across her chest in dissatisfaction, complaining, "Amazing! Is this all Sakura's girl band has to offer?"

Chapter 49 49.Whose child is this?

After the song ended, feeling the warm atmosphere of the whole audience, Toruko Kiritani became more and more confident. When she was leaving the stage, she kept pestering Saki, praising him for his greatness and admiring the value of the guitar solo he had just performed.

When she got excited, the girl even blurted out a bold statement: "I remember learning a famous saying in class, which goes... uh, 'If I hear the truth in the morning, I can die in the evening.' If I can reach the level of ease and freedom that my master can express, then dying would be worth it!"

Touko clenched her fists, her amber eyes gleaming with anticipation and longing. It was this subtle remark that made one wonder whether she was "actually studying" or "unlearned."

Saki raised an eyebrow slightly, rarely smiling, and simply replied, "From a hobby perspective, if you practice hard, with Tohru's focus and effort, you'll definitely be able to reach my level. It's strange whether she's dead or alive."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her brows and smiled awkwardly.

"Saki is just too gentle towards Kiritani-san. I don't think Kiritani-san can reach Saki's level. Besides, what just happened is enough to prove Kiritani-san's weakness in studies. I think it's necessary to hold a study session to improve Kiritani-san's knowledge level to prevent such misuse of famous quotes from happening again."

Yashiro Rui's only serious comment was that he was ruthless, which frightened Touko so much that she wanted to ask Saki for help.

Recently, she found that Yashio Rui basically obeyed Konoe Saki's words and deeds. She found this unbelievable, but she also thought of a way to "deal with" this unkind president Yashio: as long as she could get Konoe Saki to support her, Yashio Rui would be severely defeated!

Touko calls this behavior "using the master to control Ruwei"!

Before Touko could ask for help, the girls heard a strange voice: "Yes, of course, that's not something amateurs can aspire to. Try working hard for a few years before you think about it. But, if you don't have talent, you might just live in a fantasy for the rest of your life."

A pink-haired girl wearing cat-ear headphones stood outside the exit aisle, her arms folded and her mouth rude. She looked at the girls from Morfonica from a distance, and it was obvious that the words she had just said were directed at them.

"...Uh, whose kid is this?" Noticing that the other person was shorter than Tsukushi and Mashiro, Tohru subconsciously asked, "Master, is this someone you know?"

Touzi's idea was simple: since everyone was praising her master, it was very likely that they were acquaintances of her master.

Could it be that they saw her master was so amazing that they wanted to poach her? Just a kid like her?

As for being told she's not as good as Saki, Tohru doesn't mind. She's definitely not as good as Saki, and the gap between them won't be closing for a long time. She'd only get angry if someone told her she'd catch up to Saki soon, or even surpass her.

"No, it should be the first time we meet." Sakiya was confused. She didn't remember knowing such a person before.

"Ahem, excuse me. I'm chuchu (chu?), a music producer, and I'm currently looking for band members to form the strongest band." Seeing the girls stopped, Chuchu took the initiative to step forward and handed over his business card with both hands.

Because of something that happened, Chuchu became a rather self-centered child, but under normal circumstances, she was still able to be polite and well-mannered in social etiquette. The reason she suddenly interrupted was because she didn't like this kind of "consolation prize": when her performance was far behind, the excellent person would always encourage her.

ptsd is about to strike!

Chuchu comes from a musical family, with both her parents being well-known musicians. She had previously lived abroad. She returned to Sakura specifically to find the best band in her mind and have this band play her best music to prove her musical talent.

She had visited almost all of Sakura, and felt that none of the existing bands could satisfy her needs. After finally finding a band that suited her taste, Roselia, she was directly rejected, and more than once.

In frustration, Chuchu came up with the idea of ​​personally scouting for each band member and forming a band from scratch; if the band is successfully formed, she will use her absolute strength to end this era and create an era of big girl bands that belongs only to them!

At this point, she has already chosen a keyboardist and a bassist; she is still in contact with the former and plans to go back to meet him after visiting the Kyoto Music Festival to confirm their identities as band members; the latter has not met due to various coincidences, and she is still a little distressed.

Chuchu originally thought that this trip to Kansai was a waste of time. Even though the music festival had progressed to the semi-finals, no works had appeared that could make her feel shocked. She didn't even want to remember the band name or the song title.

It wasn't until she heard the guitar solo adapted by Saki that her first feeling was: amazing! It's true music!

Although she didn't like the style of "Don't Say "Lazy"" very much, she had to admit that the two guitar solos in the middle and at the end of the song hit her heart accurately, making her think "I must get this woman."

It just so happened that Konoe Saki was just Morfonica's backup guitarist, so Chuchu poached her without any psychological burden: "Konoe Saki, join my band and become my guitarist! As long as you listen to my music, you will definitely understand."

She didn't want to sound rude: "With all this talent, why don't you join me in changing the times and making a name for yourself, instead of just playing around in this little band? Are you kidding?"

Hearing Chuchu say he wanted to "end this era and then create a new world," Touzi felt her blood boiling. Regardless of whether the other party could actually do it, at least the slogan was enough to shock and seduce her, making her feel a little unable to suppress the urge in her heart. She even wanted to say: As long as you praise the master, we are half-sisters!

But after realizing that Chuchu was actually here to poach her, she couldn't hold it back anymore. Although Konoe Saki is only Morfonica's support guitarist for now, everyone actually thinks of her as a member of Morfonica. Who can stand this?

This kind of blatant poaching behavior?

Chuchu also knew that his approach was not very authentic, but it was not a question of poaching, but a question of timing: Morfonica was about to enter the finals, and poaching her at this time would only be seen as someone secretly plotting something.

So she quickly changed her tone: "I know this is sudden, but I'm serious. Uhhh, how about this, since you're also from Tokyo, after the music festival is over, I'll invite you to my music studio and I'll answer all your questions, okay?"

ps: Thanks to 404* for the monthly ticket, thanks to dfsd3 for the monthly ticket, thank you for your support

Chapter 50 50. Right...right?

Chuchu thought this was a sure thing. How could any talented guitarist refuse her invitation? It was impossible.
