A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"...During this period, both me and the band are under your care...Suzuki."

Yamada Ryo smiled helplessly, and finally stopped speaking to him in that cold tone:

"Although we all want to keep you,...you should have a reason to leave, right? I won't say anything boring. In short...if you want, you can come back here at any time."

"...Well, that's what I thought too."

Yijizhi Hongxia also nodded with a look of reluctance.

"No matter where you go in the future, Suzuki-kun, you will always be a member of our final band!"

"...Well, thank you very much."

As Ren Suzuki spoke, she gently tugged on her collar.

At this time, like the four of them, he was wearing the band uniform that he had customized with them that day.

“It’s great that I get to be in this band.”

This was not a momentary remark, nor was it a polite remark before leaving.

Ren Suzuki felt lucky from the bottom of her heart for this magical and accidental fate——

"Goto."

"Yes."

"Really, thank you very much for writing that song. And thank you very much for accompanying me to Kyoto."

Ren Suzuki said to Ichiri Goto very seriously:

"Thanks to you, I realized something very important to me."

"...what is it?"

"Even if I have made mistakes, I am still qualified to bring happiness to others."

Ren Suzuki looked into Goto Isato's eyes, smiled and said to her:

"Also... no one should be a substitute for others. No matter how consistent their performance is in some aspects."

"…………"

After listening to Suzuki Ren's words, Goto Kazuri bit his lower lip slightly, and then said:

"I... actually have a lot of things I want to say to Suzuki-san. But I don't know why, but I always feel like I can't finish them all now."

Once they have said all they think, once they have poured out all their thoughts, then the story of the two people will surely come to a gratifying and sudden end here.

She doesn't want this.

"I want to be like Miss Hiiragi, someone who can always be remembered by you and always have the regret of unfinished business."

Goto Kazuri said:

"So... I probably won't spend everything on this selection."

"...That's okay."

Suzuki Ren shook his head.

"Goto, you just need to follow your heart and make your own decision."

If it were Ren Suzuki from before, he would definitely be worried whether Goto Ichiri's "strategy progress" would be stalled because of his too frank answer.

However, at this time, Ren Suzuki no longer worries about this——

[Strategy progress: 99%]

[Tip: You are already in a state where you can expel the soul.To operate, pull out the watch spring and rotate it forward three times. 】

Everything is ready.

This false love affair that is destined to "fail" is about to get the ending it deserves.

Chapter 85: End of Strategy

This time, Ren Suzuki, like before, came as close to the stage as possible...or as close as Ichiri Goto.

Because he was wearing the same band uniform, the judges did not have any doubts about the boy standing further in front of him.

At this time, they were just amazed that the main members of this band were composed entirely of high school girls.

"Based on the information you submitted before, it seems that you are planning to perform two of your original songs this time, right?"

"Yes."

As the lead singer, Ikuyo Kita took the microphone and answered:

"To be precise, it should be regarded as a semi-original song. Because the second song has only completed the composition and has not written lyrics."

"That is to say, the second song is purely accompaniment, right? As for the song name, let me see, it's called——"

"【ただ君にharuれ】"

Goto Kazuri picked up the microphone and answered:

"I only give you sunny days."

"Well, the name sounds really quite personal."

The judges turned over the information about ending the band with great interest.

"Then, let me ask you to play from the first piece——"

…………a week ago…………

"There are no lyrics for this song...or in other words, I don't plan to write lyrics now."

Ichisato Goto said:

"I want to wait until the day Suzuki-san comes back...or when I really can't stand it anymore, then I can finish it."

"...Is there any special reason?"

Ryo Yamada asked.

"Although this is just my personal opinion, I am personally opposed to presenting semi-finished products directly on the stage."

"Because the content of this song... I actually haven't completely decided yet."

Goto Ichiri shook his head:

"As you all know, this song was written by me for Suzuki-san. From the mood of the song alone, it represents the joy and fulfillment of my trip to Kyoto. But... it is also just like our first Like a song, what I want to perform is not just the feeling at that moment."

Especially when she learned about Suzuki Ren's past and his feelings for her, Goto Kazuri didn't want to define it with a simple emotion.

"What I want to be is that he will no longer have worries or worries, a completely different existence from that ex-girlfriend. Although I don't know when I will grow to that level, but... As long as I keep working hard for this, I will definitely achieve it one day.”

Goto Isato said with a serious face:

"So, I want to use my feelings and experiences to slowly complete it during the next time I wait and catch up with Suzuki-san. When the day I complete it completely...that means that I have already I’m ready to officially confess to him and become his lover.”

"I see."

After listening to Gotou Issato's explanation, Yamada Ryo nodded and then said:

"I understand, then, I will also look forward to the day when you complete it."

........................

When the day comes when this song is completed, how far will Goto Kazuri... or rather end the band, grow?

Looking at the girl on the stage who was concentrating on the guitar, Ren Suzuki showed a slightly absent expression.

Every time Ichisato Goto picks up the guitar, Ren Suzuki feels a complex feeling of anticipation and strangeness.

He is very much looking forward to Goto Kazuri's dazzling performance on the stage, and at the same time, he is very unfamiliar with the growth she shows every time she takes the stage.

The original impressions of Hiiragi were gradually being wiped out by the light shining on her, and they were replaced by a complete existence called "Isri Goto".

Sometimes she has low self-esteem, sometimes she is timid, but sometimes she gets carried away.

She is not good at studying or socializing, but she has unparalleled guitar talent.

She has a cute appearance and a dangerous figure, but she also has a terrible sense of aesthetics.

She longs to be popular and recognized by others, but she feels very tired when interacting with others.

She is a complex girl who is contradictory, unique, excellent and interesting.

She is the centerpiece of the band that is hard to look away from.

……

Ah, that's right.

The reason why I was so anxious to leave here was probably because of these reasons.

If he continues to look at Gotou Kazuri, he might really fall in love with this girl named Gotou Kazuri.

"But... this won't work."

He could not stay with her for a long time, nor could he turn the lie at this moment into reality.

In the coming time, Goto Kazuri will definitely grow further... maybe he will become a being that he cannot reach.

By then, the slight favor he received at this time may no longer be a reason to attract her attention.

But that's fine too.

As long as Goto Ichiri can realize her ideals, as long as she can get the happiness she desires.

Then...he is willing to become her first true fan.

[What do you think of this band? 】

[You are very young, very green, and there is still a lot of room for improvement in all aspects. 】

[In other words, the level is not enough? 】

【No.I just saw a lot of possibilities from this guitarist... After the selection is over, let's listen to their first original song. If the level is online, then this music festival will give It wouldn't hurt if they had a chance to play. 】

"..."

After hearing the praise from the judges around him, Suzuki Ren couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth with a hint of relief.

Just as he expected, the potential shown by the band was enough to be recognized by everyone.

After confirming the last thing, Suzuki Ren finally made up his mind and placed his hand on the spring on the side of the watch——

........................

click.

The moment he pulled out the clockwork, Ren Suzuki once again felt the feeling of triggering this [navigation system] for the first time.

Everything in front of me came to a standstill, and everything lost its color.

[Soul exorcism capture begins]

Following the prompts from the navigation system, Suzuki Ren saw very clearly that a gray-white thing suddenly sprang out from Goto Ichiri's chest and flew straight towards his wrist.

In just the blink of an eye, the gray-white thing was completely swallowed up by the watch, and the still world returned to silence again.

"The next step is to rotate forward three times."

Then, according to the instructions of the navigation system, Suzuki Ren slowly rotated the clockwork forward.

First lap——

The world around him began to spin slowly, but he remained where he was.

Second lap——

The speed of rotation further accelerated, and everything around him turned into blurry lines like the scenery on a high-speed train.

The third circle——

Everything around them disappeared instantly, and in the darkness, only Ren Suzuki... and Ichisato Goto were left.

However, the incredible things didn't end there.

Under Ren Suzuki's shocked gaze, Ichiri Goto's figure suddenly began to change at a speed visible to the naked eye.

She had grown slightly taller and her already prominent figure had grown further, and in addition, her band uniform first transformed into a high school uniform, and then quickly transformed into something else he had never seen before. Match.
