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

“It’s not this page!!!”

Goto Ichiri's expression became even darker.

Yamada Ryo turned to the page with lyrics and was silent for a while as she read the lyrics that were totally inconsistent with the girl's personality.

“Are you satisfied with the lyrics?”

"Ah, this one, I think it has the feel of a popular band, it's pretty good."

Goto Ichiri clutched the hem of her skirt awkwardly.

"Ha... Is that what you think..."

"Do you need me to avoid it?"

Wang Yueshuo asked hesitantly.

"...No, I think I can answer your question."

Yamada Ryo exhaled slowly, looked into Goto Ichiri's eyes, and said seriously:

"I never told you that I joined another band. It was a very good band. Everyone was working towards the same goal."

“It’s also because of our love for music that we got together to debut as a band and play the songs we love together.”

"Later, one of our songs became popular.

There are many more fans, and the atmosphere in the audience is getting more and more heated. Everyone is very happy and thinks that our efforts have not been in vain, and that more people have fallen in love with music and our songs. "

"But...since then, the atmosphere of the band has become increasingly strange. It seems that they are all racking their brains for fame and more fame. The lyrics they write are no longer as pure and sincere as they were at the beginning. They bow to the flow of traffic and try their best to get attention."

"Because of this incident, I had a dispute with the people in the band, and finally I quit the band."

“A band that loses its individuality is as good as dead.”

Yamada Ryo repeated what Mochizuki Saku said, and said to Pochi, whose eyes flickered and shone faintly:

"So, don't think too much and force yourself to write such boring lyrics. What can resonate with people must say what you want to say. Just write according to your own preferences."

“But...but if that happens, the lyrics will become dark and heavy.” Yili felt a little depressed.

"But that's Ichiri's personality, right?"

Mochizuki Saku smiled, looked at the confused and bewildered Pochi, and said jokingly:

"Besides, it would be interesting to have a winner like Kita sing dark and heavy lyrics, right?"

"Indeed, I have already imagined that scene, haha~"

Yamada Ryo's arms subconsciously rested on Mochizuki Saku's shoulders. He couldn't stop covering his mouth with his hands and laughing, his body trembling slightly.

"People with colorful personalities gather together and blend into unified music. This will become the characteristic of the ending band." Mochizuki Saku patted Goto Ichiri's little head and stood up with a smile.

"It's time to go. It's getting late."

Chapter 40: Bass solo, the loser will fulfill one wish of the winner

"……(silence)"

“…QAQ…”

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'll pay for yours, too."

Liang's cold face showed a pitiful expression. This crying face of a cat, Wang Yueshuo... was really hard to refuse, so he had to make his already poor wallet suffer:

"The coffee is on me, but remember to pay me back for the curry rice."

"Of course, I will pay it back."

Yamada Ryo nodded and puffed out his barren chest confidently.

"I hope you can do it."

Mochizuki Saku sighed, paid the bill at the bar, and led Liang and Ichiri, the two cats, out of the coffee shop.

"By the way, your configuration is sufficient, and from what I heard you are preparing the lyrics and music, so when is the first live show in the strict sense?"

Wang Yueshuo raised his hand to block the dazzling light and looked at the blue-haired girl walking side by side with him.

"...I will have the song ready tomorrow."

Liang hesitated for a few seconds, seeming a little hesitant.

"Me... too!" Little Pochi followed closely behind, promising with a deliberately emphasized tone.

"It feels like I can see the performance of the four of you next Friday, come on." Wang Yueshuo felt the slightly cold wind and rubbed his arms up and down under his burgundy short-sleeved shirt.

"You'll have to ask Hongxia and the store manager for specific details." Liang spread her hands slightly and squinted her eyes. The mixed yellow light was cut into pieces by the tall buildings, and a long shadow fell on her face.

"From what Sister Xingge said last time, you should pass the preliminaries this time before you can stand in the performance hall again."

Mochizuki Saku patted Goto Ichiri on the shoulder, signaling that she should work harder, otherwise the dream of going on stage that the girl had once expressed would only be -

An unattainable 'dream'.

"It should have been done a long time ago, but..." Yamada Ryo glanced at the boy who tilted his head in confusion and spoke softly:

"I need your help in arranging the music for this song."

"?"

Arrange music? Need my help?

Mochizuki Saku held her chin with one hand, looked at the bassist who would develop into an arranger in the future, blinked, and motioned for her to continue.

"To be precise, I need Mochiduki's help."

Liang looked at the boy's clear eyes seriously:

"I remember you were very good at playing the keyboard, Mochizuki. I need a keyboard player for the song I composed."

"..."

Wang Yueshuo raised his eyebrows in surprise and grinned:

"Have you not given up on trying to get me into the band?"

"How could I let a talented person with great ability and rich experience in the band slip away right before my eyes?"

The blue-haired girl rolled her eyes at him, and her clenched fists were like the Five Finger Mountain of Buddha, trying to suppress the stubborn monkey Wang Yueshuo.

"Ah…"

Shuo snorted lightly, looking at classmate Liang who was determined to win, and couldn't help but want to laugh in his heart.

It was like this at the beginning...

The greenhorn guitarist who knew nothing about social interaction was so grateful to the cheating and all-round drummer that he thought their friendship was like that between Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and he wanted to bow down to him.

As a result, when he entered the clean activity room, apart from the two humans, there were various musical instruments, two consoles, a large screen and a record player that looked very high-end, which occupied most of the room.

Hey, are you sure you want me to be the guitarist of your band? The boy still remembered what he asked after seeing the mess. He also remembered that the bastard, like the girl in front of him, showed strong eyes and spoke arrogantly:

"You are the best guitarist in China, and my band needs the best guitarist, so it has to be you!"

The boy's eyes became a little hazy. He put his hands in his pockets with emotion, looked at the girl's bright eyes, and said with a smile:

"Okay, if you can solo on an instrument, forget it, just pick the bass, which you are best at. As long as you beat me once in a bass solo, I will join the closing band."

"Okay! You said so!"

"Yes, I said it, I absolutely admit it."

"A gentleman's word?"

"It's hard to chase a horse!"

The boy who never beat around the bush and the straightforward girl looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Well, Pochi-chan, I'll ask you to be my undercover agent and help me find Mochizuki's flaws!"

Yamada Ryo's eyes sparkled as he held Goto Ichiri's hands and asked solemnly.

“Eh—!?”

Before Yili could come to her senses, she saw Wang Yueshuo grabbing Liang's head with his strong hand and whispering sinisterly in her ear:

"We just took the oath, and you're already trying to be clever?"

"Humph, such acts of cowardice will never be tolerated!"

"I'm just fighting with my brain! I'm just trying to find your weakness within the rules. Do you think the famous Mochiduki is afraid of a nobody like me?"

Liang was not willing to be outdone.

"In that case, you might as well beg me to admit defeat."

This frivolous remark was ultimately not uttered. Mochizuki's interested eyes were instantly shattered when they met the girl's particularly serious and solemn eyes. The slightly raised corners of the eyes and the slightly furrowed brows made Yamada Ryo's already cold and noble temperament instantly rise to another multiple.

In the clear golden eyes, Mochizuki Saku saw the pride that belonged to Yamada Ryo.

For a bassist to beg for mercy from his opponent during a bass solo, this is already a blow to Yamada Ryo's dignity...

Mochizuki Shuo put away his relaxed air and responded with the same serious words:

"Then let's meet at 6pm the day after tomorrow. See you under the stars. Let me see your true talents."

"I will challenge you with all my strength."

Yamada Ryo nodded, and the cold look in his eyes disappeared in the blink of an eye. This change of expression made Goto Ichiri, who had been watching but could not get a word in, doubt whether what had just happened was real.

"Let's go, it's time to go home." Wang Yueshuo waved his hand.

"...Don't you have to go to work at Fanxing today?"

Yamada Ryo reminded: "You have been absent for three days this week."

"Is it possible that I am a temporary worker? I will work as a waiter only when I have time. The rest of the time, please treat me as a third-year senior who is studying hard for the exam? Hmm?!"

A hint of joy and excitement flashed in her gray-brown eyes, and Wang Yueshuo couldn't wait to see the usually cold and proud girl showing an expression of shame and anger in front of him.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Then senior, can I send this recording to Sister Xingge?" Yamada Ryo tilted his head, revealing the particularly conspicuous recording interface on the mobile phone screen, and grinned with a wicked smile.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong, please delete the recording!"

Chapter 41: The girl's blush is better than a long dialogue (please collect and recommend votes

"One mile."

Mochizuki Saku gently called the girl's name and looked at the silent little Pochi with some worry.

After coming out of the cafe, Goto Ichiri seemed to be in a bad state. Although he usually didn't talk much, he was silent and dazed too many times today.

"Ah, what's wrong?"

Goto Ichiri suddenly raised his head, and his gaze instantly shifted from the concrete road under his feet to Mochizuki Saku's face. The worried look on his face made the girl feel much better after her inexplicably complicated mood.

She looked at the boy's outstretched hand, and after reconnecting to the server, her brain, which had been short-circuited, went blank. She was stunned for two seconds, then gently lowered her head and her chin fell on the palm of Wang Yueshuo's hand.

Moon New Moon: ???

"Uh...bag."

"Ah... sorry, okay, um..."

Goto Ichiri's face turned red with embarrassment. He quickly took the shoulder bag off his shoulder and handed it to Mochizuki Saku, "Next...next time, when you extend your hand, it's best to make your words clear and don't let...let me misunderstand."

"Okay, definitely next time."

Wang Yueshuo looked at Yili's little face which was gradually turning red and agreed cheerfully.

"Best...best."

"So, Ichiri, do you want to go get some crepes?"

Mochizuki Saku put away his smile, pointed to the crepe stand next to the park not far away, and suggested to Goto Ichiri.
