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

Wang Yueshuo closed his eyes, looked at the bright crescent moon hanging high in the night sky, and couldn't help grinning.

“When you reach a mountain, there is always a way out. When you are in a gloomy situation, there is always a way out. I will start my new band life with a splendid opening battle on these two battlefields.”

"Oh, no, the band hasn't had its first live performance yet, and the original songs haven't been written yet, shit..."

The interest that had just been aroused was drenched by a basin of cold water, and Wang Yueshuo had no choice but to turn on his mobile phone.

What caught my eye were two pieces of news of particular concern:

[Yamada Ryo: I have finished composing the song. Please listen to it and give me feedback. Thank you.]

[Goto Ichiri: Saku-nii! I've already written the lyrics!!! When are you free, can you take a look at it? It would be best if you could give me some suggestions, please.]

I was so sleepy that I handed over the pillow. Whatever I wished for came true.

Wang Yueshuo shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry as he received the files sent by the two people, but was surprised to find that they were actually two songs and two sets of lyrics.

“‘Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet’ and ‘That Band’, they are actually two…” Mochizuki Saku put on his headphones, opened the lyrics file, and listened carefully to the girls’ confident works.

Guitar, Loneliness and the Blue Planet

[The sudden evening rain made me tired of not bringing an umbrella

What does the mood of the sky have to do with me?

What clothes should we wear when the seasons change?

Where did spring and autumn disappear to?

.......

.......

So even a moment is fine... ahhh

Please listen

Listen to my voice

Alone, alone, I exist here

It's like a chaotic rhythm shouting without a sound

Just want to be whoever you want to be

I am ignorant and can only sing loudly

Tell everything to the stars]

That Band

[…

......

A long silence spread out from the body of the young man who was listening with headphones. His originally relaxed expression tensed the moment he saw the lyrics and heard the music.

Music is simple to talk about, as it only has a few notes. However, these “few notes” carry people’s joys, sorrows, anger and happiness, play the world’s joys and sorrows, and are imbued with different life wisdom and emotions.

Music is an eternal myth in the history of mankind. It is so graceful and infinite, sometimes light, sometimes passionate, sometimes deep, sometimes solemn, sometimes melodious, sometimes mysterious... All these can capture the soul, cleanse the heart and make people feel relaxed and happy.

The moment he heard the song, Wang Yueshuo's mind was already deeply attracted by it. He seemed to hear the sound of singing. In the unwilling roar of the girl, the boy's emotions were instantly ignited, his blood boiled, and he was so excited that he even squeezed the drink bottle in his hand into a flat shape.

The high and clear melody made the boy seem to really hear the two girls' deep-seated demands, which was a perfect reflection of rock and roll and their restless hearts.

Goto Ichiri expressed her past experience of having to live with loneliness, her difficulties and confusion, while Yamada Ryo expressed his deep regret and helplessness towards his former teammates' aesthetic trend towards the public, creating this passionate piece of music.

This is rock and roll!

Express the desire to break the deadlock and express yourself, express the desire for recognition and attention in loneliness and distrust of the people around you, and shout out in despair in your own way, a way that only you can do!

The song was coming to an end, but Wang Yueshuo, who was still lingering in the air, ignored the lingering sound. It was not until drops of cold sweat slid down his forehead that he suddenly woke up.

I swallowed my saliva when I saw the dark screen of my phone.

"I'm really looking forward to it...you guys, haha, I almost forgot, this is our first performance." Wang Yueshuo, like a devout convert, slowly closed his eyes under the moonlight pouring down from the night sky.

PS: I was stuck with a writer's block. I realized it was too late when I finished writing. I re-watched episode 8 before writing this paragraph, but I still feel a little unsatisfactory. I was a little upset that I couldn't perfectly describe the picture in my mind.

Even without the lyrics, the word count is already over 2k, and I didn’t inflate the word count with the lyrics.

Chapter 44: Unsuccessful Mission

The stars and the bright waiting room.

Three girls with different hair colors gathered together, their eyes sparkling with stars, and exclaimed from time to time. The girl in pink sportswear, who was supposed to be the protagonist, sat on the sofa next to the boy, with a silly smile on her face.

"It's quite well written, Ichiri." The boy looked at the lyrics in his hand and touched the girl's head with satisfaction, while Goto Ichiri rubbed his palm affectionately a few times.

"You've really grown a lot." The boy felt a little distressed when he saw the dark circles under the girl's eyes that even concealer couldn't cover, and other small movements that showed that the girl had not slept all night.

But more importantly, I am happy for her. The girl named Goto Ichiri has finally taken her first step. In the future, she will climb to the top step by step, reach the top of the Budokan step by step, and become a rock star that everyone is paying attention to.

"Ichiri is really amazing! He is worthy of being the band member I picked at first sight!"

"Really, the lyrics are perfect for Goto-san! And Ryo-senpai's music is also amazing! Both the music and the lyrics are so good, I'm a little excited!"

"Yeah, I composed the song after reading Pochi's lyrics, and it was recognized by professionals last night." When Yamada Ryo said this, he secretly winked at Mochizuki Saku.

"Then, let's rehearse these two songs! I'll go ask my sister for next week's performance! Great!" Ijichi Hongxia clapped her hands, jumped off the high stool excitedly, and rushed to her sister at the bar without looking back.

"Right, right, sister?" The levitating yellow aho-man shook excitedly.

"Ah? I'm not going to line up for you."

With her fingers dancing on the keyboard, Ijichi Hoshige, who was typing the band's rehearsal list into Word, rejected her cute sister's performance application without even looking back.

"Eh...?" Daimao stopped talking suddenly.

"Why? The original songs have already been written." Hongxia asked puzzled.

"It's none of my business."

"Ah, don't worry about the customer acquisition target. We will make up for the shortfall."

Hong Xia quickly added.

"...Does your band have to rely on yourselves to subsidize its performances?" Sister Xingge raised her eyes, glanced at her embarrassed and bewildered sister, and continued:

"Besides, this is not a question of money, it's a question of strength."

"Didn't you let us perform before?"

"That was an exception to leave you with good memories."

“Leaving good memories?”

"Before a band performs, they have to review and audition audio sources and the like. You know that for the pre-selection, right?" Ijichi Xingge supported her chin with her hand and tapped her fingers lightly on the bar.

"This...I heard it from Mochizuki." Hongxia looked away awkwardly.

"Sorry, if the quality of the show is the same as last month, then don't even think about performing."

"Forget about the show...what are we going to do then?"

Hongxia took two steps forward, looking a little flustered. She had never thought that she would be rejected by her favorite sister, so her mind was a little confused.

"Just play house in a band for the rest of your life. When you reach the third year of high school and need to urgently prepare for your studies, you can disband the band and happily end your band career." The woman's serious and cold words seemed to be stating the final direction of the band.

Upon hearing such an answer, the girl with brilliant golden hair felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. Her face became gloomy and her fingers unconsciously clenched, rubbing on both sides of her skirt.

As expected, Wang Yueshuo rested his face on the side of his head. The serious atmosphere made him dream back to the past. When the band first encountered setbacks in his previous life, the boss with a look of disdain on his face also said something similar.

However, Sister Xingge was not being sarcastic, but rather came to the conclusion after evaluating the band's strength. For a performance as chaotic and terrible as the last one, being able to perform once was already a great favor from the boss.

But... Hongxia would be very upset if her sister, who is her family member, said such words. Mochizuki Saku thought about it and realized that if the person who was closest to her and the one she depended on the most told her such a cold and harsh reality, she would also feel heartbroken.

"Aren't you also old enough to still sleep with a doll?!"

Hong Xia bit her lower lip lightly and yelled at her sister in a rage. She glanced sideways with tearful eyes in grievance, and without looking back, she turned around and ran out of the livehouse, her clothes flying in the wind, followed by tears of resentment and confusion.

"Ijichi-senpai!" Kita called out anxiously to the girl who was walking away.

As the loud bang of a door closing echoed among the stars, the girl could no longer hear Hong Xia's reply.

In front of the dim bar, Yidizhi Xingge's eyes flickered, and she seemed to be filled with regret. The woman unconsciously rubbed her exposed arms a few times:

"Ha...what kind of angry words are you saying? It's really incomprehensible."

The woman's words were somewhat trembling, and her eyes were wandering as she stared at the screen that was emitting a faint light.

"Is the puppet she's talking about this tattered panda and rabbit?" Yamada Ryo moved silently to Sister Xingge and showed her the photos in his cell phone album.

"Wow, so cute." Miss Hayase Hazuki, who loved to watch the fun, covered her mouth and blurted out in amazement. She glanced at Ijichi Hoshika who had a frown on her face, and winked at Mochizuki Saku who was standing beside her with a smile.

Wang Yueshuo: ...

The boy ignored the black-haired woman's advances and frowned in some distress.

How many ugly photos of the band members has this evil-minded guy Liang hidden? I hope mine is not among them.

"Delete the photos, immediately, right now!"

"What are you doing, Ryo-senpai! Stop fiddling with your phone and go catch up with Ijichi-senpai! Don't be bothered by this!!!"

Kita-san, who seemed to be the only normal person among the stars, pushed Yamada Ryo out anxiously, and at the same time urged Goto Ichiri, who was in a panic and had a distorted face:

"Goto-san, come along too, let's go!"

"Go, Yili, go find Hongxia. I'll talk to the manager and come find you guys later." Wang Yueshuo patted the frightened girl's shoulder to calm her down.

"Okay...ok!"

"Wait...wait a minute, you guys."

Yijizhi Xingge pretended to be indifferent and held up his face with a wandering look in his eyes. He hesitated when the words came to his lips. After thinking for a moment, he finally sighed, his energy and spirit relaxed, and he spoke helplessly:

"After you find Hongxia, tell her that if you can pass the preview review next week, your band's name can be added to the performance list the week after next. Tell her to be ready."

The woman took apart and put back the pen next to the notebook, and she was obviously a little anxious.

"After the rehearsal is passed, you can go on stage to perform, right?" Goto Ichiri turned around, looked seriously into the woman's blood-red eyes, and repeated it solemnly.

"Well, as long as it passes the review, it's fine." Yidizhi Xingge was frightened by the girl's gaze and said hesitantly.

"Okay! I understand!"

Goto Ichiri already understood everything, and the glimmer of hope began to flicker in his lake-blue eyes again.

Exhaling slowly, she bowed slightly to Ichichi Hoshige, followed in the footsteps of Ryo and Kita, and left the stars without stopping.

Chapter 45: The Sister Who Loves Her Sister the Most

"You two sisters are really awkward."

Looking at Ichichi Hoshige, who had a cold expression on her face but was actually anxious like an ant on hot pot, Mochizuki Saku leaned against the cold bar counter and muttered something with amusement.

"Huh? What do you mean, why don't you go with them?" Sister Xingge was already incoherent. She hurriedly tried to make amends, but when she looked up she saw the boy's eyes, like a clear spring, faintly reflecting her own figure.

"Of course I'm here to comfort the arrogant, arrogant, arrogant sister who is obviously extremely sad but insists on holding on~" Mochizuki Shuo smiled and patted the shoulder of the unhappy Ichichi Xingge jokingly.

After her mother passed away, her shoulders, which were not broad and strong, resolutely took up the responsibility of taking care of her younger sister. Perhaps we all saw the serious and earnest side of Xingge, but we often forget that she is also a woman, who is also weak and will subconsciously seek support.

"What do you mean by tsundere? Don't say meaningless words!" Seeing that her thoughts were exposed, Yidizhi Xingge glanced at the boy with some embarrassment and broke free from his hand.

"You obviously care about your sister the most, so why do you have to act so tough? You say one thing and mean another, and you are unwilling to express your inner thoughts. You clearly mean that as long as Hong Xia passes the rehearsal, we can perform, but you refuse to admit it."

"She says arrogant things, but does things completely different from what she says. This is the arrogant, arrogant, arrogant, and spoiled sister that Hong Xia talked about. But she is really... awkward and stubborn."

"It's none of your business...

Ichichi Hoshige turned her head away and argued unhappily:

"It is precisely because she is the most important family member that I am so strict with her. Otherwise, I would not cause trouble to myself and let her do whatever she wants."

The woman laid her hands on the table and buried her head in them, and said in frustration:

"I...didn't mean to hurt her, I just..."

"Are you afraid your sister will make the same mistake as you?"

"I don't know. I hope Hongxia won't hate me for this." Xingge muttered softly.

"Oh, you think too much. Hong Xia doesn't hate her favorite sister. At most, she was just saying it in anger. You two have been dependent on each other for so many years, don't you know each other well?" Wang Yueshuo spread his hands, "But this time... you really did go a little too far."
