For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

It suits you very well.

I’ve always wanted to see…”

A transparent voice that makes people feel happy comes out from Mochizuki Shuo's lips. A refreshing boyish feeling comes to the face. The music style is cheerful and lively, with clear and stable high and low notes, clean and beautiful high notes, and clear and clean ending notes. It seems that a picture of a young boy on the coast holding flowers and laughing cheerfully appears in front of the eyes.

Nakano Azusa was deeply attracted by the sound of the piano, staring blankly at the beautiful picture in front of her. She seemed to have returned to the first time she saw Senior Mochizuki play, and once again experienced the feeling she had never experienced before. The notes were like sweet raindrops, nourishing her soul and making her feel unprecedented relaxation and tranquility.

An inexplicable emotion surged in the girl's heart, as if the sound of the piano touched something deep in her heart.

"Recalling the time when you were here

You holding the guitar and singing

I can't forget

So I sang…”

The sound from the speakers is full and rich in texture, flowing in the air like silk. At first, the piano sounds soft and soothing, as if the waves gently hit the beach, gentle and peaceful; then, following the gradually heavier drum beats, the guitar sound gradually becomes passionate, with strong emotions and power, like the waves in a storm, surging.

The music and singing gradually died down and returned to the initial tranquility, but the lingering sound seemed to still echo in the girl's ears, making her intoxicated. It was not until the fierce applause from the senior students rang out that Nakano Azusa came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream.

"————!!!" Hirasawa Yui shouted, rushing forward like a bazooka, snapping her hands tightly around Mochizuki Saku's shoulders, then shaking him back and forth, her deep black eyes flashing with dazzling light, "Mochizuki, is this your new song?"

"Yes, yes, wait, please stop shaking, I feel a little dizzy..."

"Oh, okay, okay!"

The next second, Hirasawa Yui obediently let go of his hand and looked at him with curiosity in her eyes.

Wang Yueshuo rubbed his temple. He was really a little dizzy from Wei's dizziness. He even forgot what he wanted to say just now.

Chapter 38: Azimiao's Birthday

After returning the guitar 'Mu Tan' to Nakano Azusa, and ruffling her hair under the girl's somewhat silly gaze, Mochizuki Saku looked at Hirasawa Yui who was looking expectant, and admitted it frankly.

Yui also nodded, 'as expected'.

Tianzhong Ritsu took off his school uniform jacket and hung it on the hanger, then asked curiously.

"What's the name of this new song?"

""Strange Beast Flowers"."

Mochizuki Saku sat on the sofa, politely took the tea handed over by Miss Kotobuki and said thank you. He blew a breath of the rising hot air and continued, "I originally planned to write it for the ending band as an original song for the next performance."

"Originally...?" Nakano Azusa blinked, a little confused.

Isn’t this song great? It feels very suitable for a band performance!

"Ah, it's just a coincidence." Mochizuki Saku shook his head and chuckled, "Yesterday when I sent the demo to the band group, Liang-san, our band's bassist, told me that she had already composed the music for the next original song."

It was really a coincidence. Who would have thought that Yamada Ryo, who always found various excuses to slack off, would suddenly become diligent and finish the song in less than a month.

Hirasawa Yui continued to ask: "So... when will it be available on Spotify?"

"My current plan is to wait until that song is released before considering this one, so it won't be put on the shelves for the time being." Wang Yueshuo sighed with regret.

“But the account that puts the songs on the shelves is still the same as Mochiduki’s.” Except for a few songs after the band ended, most of Mochizuki Saku’s songs were put on the music platform Spotify to make a little money.

"Well, when it's available, I'm going to set it as my wake-up ringtone!" As a fan of Mochizuki, Hirasawa Yui naturally strongly supports it, but Shuo refuses repeatedly and reminds with a smile: "Doesn't Hirasawa know that the best way to ruin a favorite song is to set it as your wake-up ringtone?"

"Huh? There is such a saying?" Ping Ze Weiyi was stunned and blinked curiously.

"Of course, think about it..."

Before Mochizuki Saku finished speaking, Tianzhong Ritsu came up behind Hirasawa Yui and put his arms around the girl's slender body from under Yui's arms.

"Of course it's because you are woken up by the same song every day. After a while, you will wonder how this song can exist in the world. This kind of thing should be removed from the platform and disappeared from my phone, so that I won't be woken up by it again~"

"Especially for a lazy bum like Wei who likes to stay in bed."

After explaining to Hirasawa Yui with a smile, Tianzhong Ritsu gave Mochizuki Saku a look that said "right?"

Shuo smiled helplessly and nodded.

"Ritsu-chan!"

The complaining voice of Hirasawa Yui turned into laughter before it was stuck in her throat, like a string of crisp wind chimes. She glanced at Tianzhong Ritsu who was scratching her waist and armpits, with a gloomy look in her eyes.

I can’t stand it any longer!

Hirasawa Wei gritted his teeth and glared at Lu in embarrassment.

Then he turned around and pounced on her, launching a counterattack against the girl who was tickling his tickle hole. Don't think that I, Hirasawa Yui, am a cat that you can bully!

And Lu, who boasted of being a veteran and agile, cleverly dodged Hirasawa Yui's attack. He giggled and came around from behind Mochizuki Saku, trying to launch a sneak attack, with a mischievous light flashing in his golden eyes.

Wang Yueshuo sighed, he didn't expect this guy to be so bold, teasing Wei and trying to get involved with him. Lu's sneaky hand was easily dropped by Wang Yueshuo, who then grabbed her wrist, which was as delicate as a willow branch.

Mochizuki Saku looked up at Akiyama Mio, who was calmly drinking black tea and tasting mango cake, and raised his eyebrows: "Mio, why don't you take care of her?"

Akiyama Mio glanced at Tianzhong Ritsu who was making a face, shook her head and said confidently: "She was caught by you, so naturally you should punish her."

"Punishment?" Many interesting ways of playing and pictures suddenly emerged in Wang Yueshuo's mind. He grinned and lowered his head to look at Tian Zhongli with great interest. His eyes were full of bad ideas.

"You...what do you want to do?" Being looked at with such ill intent by him and feeling something strange around her waist, Tian Zhongli shivered inexplicably. A chill slid up along her spine, and patches of red appeared on her fair cheeks.

"Ahem, this is a bit too much in public."

Akiyama Mio glared at Mochizuki Saku who was getting too aggressive and spoke out to stop him.

"Okay okay."

Wang Yueshuo raised his hands obediently, blinked his innocent eyes and smiled at her.

"You're so frivolous..." Akiyama Mio turned her head and spat softly.

.........

Nakano Azusa ate chestnut cake in small bites while looking at the seniors who were concentrating on reviewing their lessons at their desks. However, a different scene appeared in her mind. That was the time before the seniors came to the activity room.

Nakano Azusa opened the window, leaned against it, rested her round chin on her arms, and looked up at the tranquil and deep blue sky, which seemed to have been washed by clear lake water. The sunlight shone through the sparse clouds, spreading softly like silk, and shone on the pool water in front of the school, sparkling with tiny golden lights.

Just when Nakano Azusa was feeling sad about the separation from her senior schoolmates soon, Mochizuki Saku opened the door of the light music club and greeted her.

"Hey, A-Zi-san, why are you alone?" Wang Yueshuo walked in carrying a gorgeously wrapped cake box. After looking around, he simply ignored it and placed the box safely on the long table.

"Good afternoon, Mochizuki-senpai." Nakano Azusa responded a little stiffly. She secretly glanced at the clock and continued, "The seniors may not have finished class yet, but they should be here in a while."

"It's okay. They are not the protagonists this time anyway." Wang Yueshuo said casually.

"Eh?" Nakano Azusa didn't quite understand what the senior meant.

"My lovely junior~" Mochizuki Saku smiled softly and said in a very gorgeous voice:

"Did you forget that today is your birthday?"

"Senior actually remembered my birthday?!" Nakano Azusa was a little surprised. Her bright eyes, which were originally as calm as a lake, were now rippling. Her clear pupils flickered in the sunlight, and her lips were slightly open, as if she was looking for the right words to express her inner shock.

"Of course, November 11th is a very auspicious day~"

Mochizuki Shuo smiled and opened the gorgeously wrapped box like unveiling a curtain.

What caught her eye was a 10-inch double-layer chocolate fruit cake with her Q-version image and name.

"Are you surprised or surprised?"

Chapter 39 Asking me if I will still miss you

Nakano Azusa still doesn't understand the complex emotions that suddenly emerged in her heart at that time. The surprise carefully prepared by Mochizuki Saku really made her feel a little overwhelmed. She secretly glanced at Mochizuki who was seriously lighting the candles on the birthday cake. Her heart was in a mess, like a tangled thread that she didn't know how to untie.

Senior Mochizuki, you are so mean...

She was clearly feeling melancholy and sad about the upcoming separation from her senior schoolmates, but now she was completely confused by the surprise from senior Mochizuki, and her emotions were all mixed up. Thinking of this, A Zi raised her face with a grumble, and crossed her legs under her school uniform skirt.

"I really want to eat it. It looks so sweet and delicious." Hirasawa Wei put down her pen unconsciously and stopped doing the questions. Her big watery eyes stared at the big birthday cake not far away, drooling.

"Wei!" Akiyama Mio sighed and looked at the boy who was ready with some resentment.

It seemed that the culprit who caused Hirasawa Yui to stop studying was Mochizuki Saku.

"Okay, okay~ We've been studying for so long, it's time to take a break." Kotobuki Tsumugi put down her pen, clapped her hands, and looked at Nakano Azusa with a smile: "Next, let's celebrate Azusa's birthday!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Akiyama Mio, Mochizuki Saku and Kotobuki Tsumugi took out the fireworks they had prepared for a long time from somewhere. With a "pop" sound, the fireworks burst and then fell down.

Colorful fireworks bloomed in the sky, illuminating Nakano Azusa's dazed white cheeks like starlight.

"Happy birthday, Azi-nyan~!"

"Happy birthday, Azusa!"

"Eh...?" Nakano Azusa was startled and blinked.

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, her pink lips parted slightly, her hands subconsciously crossed behind her back, she looked a little uneasy. Two seconds later, she said in a very low voice: "Thank you, seniors..."

"Well...it's time to eat the cake next!" Hirasawa Yui's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait.

Wang Yueshuo tapped her lightly with his hand and said jokingly, "You are not the birthday girl today."

"Of course I know~" Hirasawa Yui's mouth corners slightly raised, outlining a sweet smile, a pair of autumn eyes full of innocence, pitifully acting coquettishly, "Azi, meow, let's eat cake, okay~"

Nakano Azusa rolled her eyes at her and nodded in agreement, saying, "There's really nothing I can do about you."

"Great!" Hirasawa Yui was so excited that she almost jumped up.

"Wait a minute." Tianzhong Ritsu stretched out his hand to stop him, and then, under the gaze of his friends, he took out a birthday crown with cat ears on both sides with a smirk on his face, and said to Nakano Azusa with a smile: "Azi, meow, I made this especially for you~ I hope you like it."

Nakano Azusa's originally moved mood froze.

Standing there pitifully and helplessly.

"So cute!" Kotobuki Tsumugi's eyes lit up immediately.

"Azimiao, try it on!"

Hirasawa Yui urged hurriedly and forgot about the delicious cake for a moment.

“Uh… um…”

Nakano Azusa glanced at the cat ears in Senior Sister Lu's hand with embarrassment, and seeing the expectant eyes of the seniors, he nodded, took them shyly, and put them on his head.

"Azi, meow, look at the camera."

The girl looked in the direction of the voice, with some doubt in her clear and bright eyes. In Mochizuki Shuo's camera, Nakano Azusa looked like a princess, beautiful and noble, with a delicate face and soft and fluffy black hair. A golden paper crown made her even more cute and beautiful.

With a crisp "click", Nakano Azusa at this moment was frozen in the camera.

...........

"Ah, Mochizuki, give me another piece of cake! I want the part with diced dragon fruit and diced mango on it, hehe~" Hirasawa Yui licked the corner of her mouth, ate the cream on it cleanly, then clasped her hands together, her eyes shining with anticipation.

"You can cut it yourself. The cake is very big anyway." Mochizuki Saku wrapped Yamanaka Sawako's portion with plastic wrap, threw the used candle into the trash can, and answered casually.

"That's good."

Hirasawa Yui trotted off to cut the cake by herself.

"What wish did Azi make?" Kotobuki Tsumugi asked curiously.

"Ah, my wish is that I can..." Nakano Azusa was interrupted by Akiyama Mio halfway through her words. Mio looked at her and reminded her: "Shh, the wish won't work if you say it out loud."

Kotobuki Tsumugi realized that she had said something wrong, so she quickly covered her mouth and nodded vigorously.

Nakano Azusa burst out laughing.

Just when they were having a great time, Wang Yueshuo suddenly sneezed and rubbed his nose in confusion. As the saying goes, the first thing you think of is the second you scold, and the third you talk about. Could it be that someone is thinking of me?

"Shuo, the temperature has dropped significantly recently. You should wear more clothes when going out. Hmm, black tea." Akiyama Mio poured him a cup of hot black tea and said angrily, "You only wear a shirt under your cotton coat when going out recently. It won't be surprising if you catch a cold or a fever one day."

"Okay, Mio Mom, I promise to be obedient~" Mochizuki Saku drawled out the words and looked at her with a smile.

Akiyama Mio rolled her eyes and snorted.

"What's your college aspiration?"

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be Tokyo University of the Arts."

Wang Yueshuo squinted his eyes and said lazily.

"Private N Women's University is in Bunkyo Ward, right next to Taito Ward where Tokyo University of the Arts is located. It's close enough that I can easily visit you guys after I go to college."

"Hehe... I heard that Tokyo University of the Arts is also Reina's target school?" Akiyama Mio asked casually, "And senior Nakagawa Natsuki is also there."

Wang Yueshuo pretended to be calm, took a sip of red tea and nodded.
