A world only known by the God of Lost Love

"……kindness."

Shiina Mashiro nodded.

"This is also the only thing I can think of...the only thing that can make Lian happy."

"Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, he has been living here for a month, but I don't seem to know much about Suzuki-kun."

Misaki Kamikusa nodded her chin and said:

"But it is worth mentioning that one time I secretly 'sneaked' into Suzuki-kun's room while he was away. Although I didn't find the pornographic book, I did find a quite unique T-shirt."

After saying that, she used her fingers to measure her body:

"It was a loose, one-size-fits-all T-shirt, all black, with [End of Band] written on the front, and a large drawstring pattern on the back..."

"!"

After hearing Misaki Kamikusa's description, Shiina Mashiro's eyes widened immediately.

"This design! Lian You mentioned it to me! It's the uniform of [Ending Band]!"

"It's true...I just said that the clothes look like band merchandise!"

Misaki Uyegusa also showed a look of realization.

"Not only can he buy peripherals, but he even brought them to the dormitory... Suzuki-kun really likes this band."

"...Well. He really likes this band."

Recalling Ren Suzuki's state when she was telling herself about this band, Mashiro Shiina said:

"That's why I hope to use this method... to make Lian happy."

"Yeah! I understand, ah~~~ This young and pure feeling is really good!"

Misaki Kamikusa gave a thumbs up with a smile on her face.

"I understand, I will help you find a solution together! Let me see...is it called [End Band]? Let me search for information about this band... Eh?"

Halfway through the search, Misaki Ueizusa suddenly showed a dazed expression.

"It has only been established for less than a year... We have only released three singles so far. Not only have we not released an official album, we have not even sold any peripherals... Huh?"

If that's the case, what's going on with that band T-shirt?

Misaki Kamikusa was very puzzled by this.

"........."

After hearing Misaki Kamiigusa's question, Mashiro Shiina also fell into deep thought.

That being said, when Ren Suzuki talks about her experiences with the band, there are many things that are not likely to be understood by a fan.

Moreover, in order to take care of her who is extremely lacking in common sense and band knowledge, Ren Suzuki will also add a lot of details and descriptions during the explanation process.For example, their first trip and first photo together, as well as the inside story of the creation of their first original song...

For a moment, Shiina Mashiro suddenly realized that there might be other relationships between Suzuki Ren and this band besides fans.

"Hmm... If I can't give away peripherals, then I can only find a way to take Suzuki-kun to watch their live! Let me check the live information of this band... Huh? There is no live reservation, only one signing Livehouse!? Well, in that case, it seems that we can only take Suzuki-kun to [STARRY] when they have scheduled performances."

On the other side, Kamijusa is still working hard to investigate the performance information of [STARRY] and [Ending Band].

However, due to the small size, neither [STARRY] nor [Ending Band] left any news about their next performance on their web pages or social accounts.

"There is nothing I can do now. It seems I can only send them a private message to ask when the next performance is."

Misaki Kamikusa curled her lips and said:

"I just don't know if they will pay attention to our private messages."

"I think...probably it will."

But at this moment, Shiina Mashiro suddenly said:

"They just followed my account this afternoon..."

"Oh!? What a coincidence!"

After hearing this, Misaki Uekusa's eyes lit up.

"Since you are a fan, it's easy! In this way, we will send them a message after school today! Once their next performance time is confirmed, you can directly take Suzuki-kun to listen to their live!"

"...Yeah. I understand."

On the other side, Shiina Mashiro also strongly agrees with this plan.

However, besides finalizing the plan, there is another thing that she is very concerned about -

"Kamiizusa-senpai."

"what happened?"

"Next time you go to Lian's room...please take me with you too."

"Yeah! No problem! I'll give you the spare key to his room when the time comes!"

"Thank you very much."

"Small idea~"

Kamiigusa-senpai...is such a "reliable" senior!

Let’s learn more from her in the future!

Looking at the extremely "sunny" smile on the face of the senior sister next to her, Mashiro Shiina couldn't help but think like this.

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

After school that day, everyone who finished the band went to [STARRY]'s recording studio as usual and prepared to start their regular rehearsals.

However, when the last member, Kita Ikuyo, arrived at the recording studio, she brought a piece of news that made everyone stop holding their instruments——

"Everyone, listen to me! I used our band's official account to follow Mashiro Shiina at noon today!"

"...Well, after all, this is what we discussed yesterday."

Yi Jizhi Hongxia nodded, her expression calm.

But soon, Kita Ikuyo's next words made her expression instantly become extremely surprised——

"And guess what? In less than 5 minutes, Mashiro Shiina closed our official account!"

Kita Ikuyo happily raised his phone and pointed at the fan interface on the phone screen.

"[Shiina Mashiro], with 20 fans, it's definitely me!"

"...Eh? Real or fake!?"

After hearing this, Yiji Hongxia hurried to her and looked at the screen of her mobile phone.

"Are they really paying attention to each other...Eh!? That's a lie..."

As a new band that has only appeared at one mini music festival, their number of fans has just exceeded five digits at this time.Compared with the size of Shiina Mashiro, it is nothing to mention.

"Why would such an amazing painter come back to us immediately?"

"I don't know...ah, could it be that Miss Shiina is a fan of our band!?"

"It's possible!"

Kita Ikuyo and Ichichi Hongka began to guess the reason why Shiina Mashiro returned to seclusion.

On the other side, after hearing the news, Goto Ichiri also showed a rather concerned expression.

Ever since she saw the painting Shiina Mashiro posted yesterday, her heart has been filled with an indescribable anxiety.

She had wanted to use her personal account more than once to ask Mashiro Shiina about the boy's source of inspiration, but due to various concerns, she was ultimately unable to take action.

And now, since the two parties have become a relationship of mutual concern, it shouldn't be surprising to ask her a few questions——

"Eh!? Wait, everyone! Shiina Mashiro just sent us a private message!"

Suddenly, Kita Ikuyo exclaimed again.

"She asked when our next performance is...Eh!? She actually plans to come to our live!"

"!"

This time, Goto Kazuri once again sensed the coming of an important opportunity.

[You just need to always remember what you want and work hard for it as always. 】

if it is like this……

"Hey Ta!"

Goto Kazuri put down the guitar in his hand and looked at Kita Ikuyo seriously.

"Next, can I have a little chat with this Miss Shiina?"

Chapter 26: Booking with slight time difference

Ren Suzuki always felt that Shiina Mashiro today was a little strange.

Not only did she look at her phone from time to time on the way to school, she even occasionally typed something on it...

This kid usually doesn't pay much attention to his cell phone. What's going on today?

It's obviously still some time before the results of the Newcomer Award are announced, so what is she looking at now?

"...Shiina-san?"

"What's wrong? Lian?"

After hearing Suzuki Ren talking to her, Shiina Mashiro put the phone back into her pocket without hesitation.

"is there anything?"

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about what you're reading on your phone."

Ren Suzuki asked.

After hearing Suzuki Ren's question, Shiina Mashiro, who always answered Suzuki Ren's questions, hesitated.

The reason why she looked at her phone so frequently was naturally because she was waiting for a reply from [Ending the Band].If she told Ren Suzuki about this, then the "repayment" she prepared for Ren Suzuki would lose the sense of surprise...

No, she finally got such an opportunity to repay Suzuki Ren, and she must not ruin this hard-won surprise and opportunity easily!

But...how should I answer Ren Suzuki?

……

"...I'm reading something related to comics."

Shiina Mashiro said this without changing her expression.

"Ah...that's true."

After hearing this, Ren Suzuki immediately showed an expression of "I see."

Although her answer came a little late, Suzuki Ren wasn't too surprised considering that the child usually spoke slowly and slowly when talking to him.

In addition, the [manga-related] excuse she used was very consistent with Suzuki Ren's impression of Shiina Mashiro as an "artist", so Suzuki Ren easily agreed with this answer.

"However, it's best to wait until we get to Sakurasou before we see it. It's really too dangerous to play with mobile phones on the road."

"I see."

Shiina Mashiro, who had always fully accepted Suzuki Ren's instructions, nodded immediately.

"I'll look at it when I get back."

After that, Shiina Mashiro didn't take out her phone again until the two returned to Sakurasou.

At the same time, the recipient of the letter on the other side was not as calm as Shiina Mashiro at this moment——

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

"Um...why there was no reply all of a sudden!"

Goto Ichiri, who was holding the mobile phone, suddenly showed a somewhat anxious expression.

"Didn't I tell you the performance time? What next? How should I ask you about that boy if you don't answer!?"

For this poor person who still had some elements of social fear left, she did not dare to say another word to this stranger before getting a reply from him.

This is especially true when you consider that the other party has more than ten times more fans than your own——
