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

Ichiri's guitar solo was like a lightning that split the chaos, waking up the sleeping girls. Hongxia, Liang, and Kita looked at each other and quickly followed the rhythm of Ichiri and Shuo.

"The songs of that band mean a lot to me"

"A sharp sound that sounded like laughter"

"The songs of that band mean a lot to me"

"As harsh as the noise at a road crossing"

"..."

The drums and cymbals are full of passion, the high-intensity sixteenth notes are continuous, and the trembling arms are beating forcefully, just like a general who has suffered a defeat but has gathered his soldiers again and led the way forward courageously. The compact rhythm of the drum set, carrying on the magnificent momentum, strikes the chimes, and the outline of the melody becomes clearer and clearer.

The crucial low sound of the bass is tightly blended into the torrent of music, occasionally filling in the gaps, accurately and ruthlessly squeezing into the rhythm, with smooth finger rolling, rhythm in the soul, and clear and clean tone, rushing at 190bpm.

"Close your eyes and illuminate the dark crown"

"Cover your ears and remember the heartbeat"

"The heartbeat deep inside shakes the body"

“I don’t want to hear anything else”

"Except for the sound I make"

As soon as the opening phrase ended, the keyboard roared again!

The hands with distinct knuckles struck the keys again, and the piano sound as powerful as a heartbeat continued to echo, as if fingers wrapped in a hurricane and heavy rain slid onto the keyboard, and extremely gorgeous and shining riffs followed like a shadow. The heat of the blazing flames was transferred to his fingers, as if he was playing in a blazing fire.

The blood, soul, brain, cells, every part of the body seemed to be ignited, and it couldn't help but let out an uplifting and undying cry. Wang Yueshuo grinned slightly, and the next moment he switched the timbre, and as the drummer waved the flag and charged forward, he resolutely entered the high pitch range, tearing and shattering, and disintegrating, intricately ravaging and colliding between the continuous notes and phrases, sparks burst out.

Just like a story always has an ending, the music gradually came to an end. As the bassist and guitarist finished playing the strings, the melody of the drums and keyboards lingered in the spacious exhibition hall.

"Not bad!"

“So handsome!”

The applause, cheers and applause were deafening. The previous gossip and cold attitudes were gone forever. Everyone in the live house expressed their enthusiasm for the girls who brought such a wonderful performance.

Ijichi Hoshige's slightly red cheeks were filled with unconcealable pride and pride. Hiroi Kikuri glanced at her out of the corner of her eye, and the already raised corners of her lips became even more graceful. With a click, Hoshige's smug smile was captured by Hiroi's mobile phone.

Yili, who had just woken up from a trance, turned around cutely and glanced at Brother Shuo who was sitting in an inconspicuous position. After seeing his proud smile, she hurriedly turned to look at Hongxia.

The drummer's strenuous performance was still fresh in her mind. She stretched out her arm to wipe the sweat from her forehead. Seeing the hero Yili looking at her, she gave him a thumbs up and smiled brightly.

"The second song, 'That Band' has finished performing. Thank you for your appreciation!!!"

Kita smiled and bowed slightly.

"You performed very well, girl!!!"

Below the stage, among the girls gathered together, a girl with short brown hair waved a fan card surrounded by LED lights high up, and her eight flawless white teeth were revealed in her grin.

"....18 years old...invincible in the universe...gentle...super handsome...come on Mochizuki Saku..."

Kita Ikuyo stuttered as she read out the words on the sign. Her flushed face turned toward Mochizuki Saku, who had a gloomy expression on his face, in the back row, and she couldn't help laughing.

"Brother Shuo, they are...your friends?" Goto Ichiri was shocked.

"Um... although... well, it is true."

Wang Yueshuo covered his face, feeling that his reputation was ruined. His gray-brown eyes seemed to flash with bright red blood. He looked at the bright-foreheaded idiot who was waving a fan card and giving him a thumbs-up after catching his sight. His desire to kill grew.

Mochizuki Saku couldn't laugh the next second, because not only Tianzhong Ritsu had fan tags in his hand, but other girls also had them. The colorful LED fluorescent lights were flashing with colorful light effects.

[On the first day of the month, I am your single pusher! 】

[Looking at the first day of the month, looking at the first day of the month, I am attracted by you]

[Looking at the new moon, looking at the new moon, your name is engraved in my heart]

Which idiot came up with this word?

Akiyama Mio was trying very hard to hold back her laughter, but her slightly trembling body still inevitably gave it away. Azimiao was holding up her fan sign seriously, with a dazzling light shining in her big eyes. Miss Kotobuki was doing the same, cheering Mochizuki Saku's name excitedly. Not to mention Hirasawa Yui and Tianaka Ritsu, these two lively guys... were already going crazy.

....You might as well kill me! I want to pretend....I don't know them.....

"Okay, that's it for the band's performance, the next band will be on stage~!"

Fortunately, Kita finally suppressed the curiosity dormant in his heart, finished his closing speech honestly, and followed the band members into the backstage.

As Mochizuki Saku packed up his synthesizer and hurried away, the K-ON Girls in the audience couldn't help but smile.

"Look, he is really shy, isn't he? Hehe, Mio-chan has a good plan. Isn't it easy to deal with Mochizuki?"

The culprit and leader of the organization, Ritsu Tainaka, laughed with his hands on his hips.

"See if he dares to bully us~"

Partner in crime, Hirasawa Yui, snorted radiantly.

"But...Senior Mochizuki is really good at playing! He uses the three playing methods of staccato, staccato and legato skillfully throughout the music, playing it smoothly and effortlessly...The control of the timbre and the continuity of the rhythm are like beautiful verses, showing the beauty of the piano sound to the fullest!"

Nakano Azusa hugged the fan card and said with emotion that he benefited a lot.

"The girls in the band also performed very well. Although this song emphasized the bass because it was arranged for bass, their performance did not neglect the others. Everyone was very good."

Akiyama Mio looked at Mochizuki Saku's embarrassed back and narrowed her eyes thoughtfully.

Chapter 65: One day, this place will be full (Part 1)

Yuta Hashitani, 24 years old, is a student in the Department of Instrumental Music, Tokyo University of the Arts. His best instrument is the piano, which is known as the "king of musical instruments". What makes him deeply intoxicated is its elegant and noble timbre and the soul-stirring performance dominated by emotions.

At the same time, he is also a disciple of the long-renowned "Piano Emperor" Ibuki Yosuke at Tokyo University of the Arts, and is widely known on Line and Youtube with the ID [摸鱼盖小被].

The sudden rainstorm, typhoon and gloomy sky forced him to find a comfortable place to shelter from the rain when he went out to attend a party with friends.

The loose casual black long-sleeved shirt fluttered in the wind and rain. As he wandered through the streets of Shimokitazawa, the rustling sound of the rain and the heavy, damp feeling that kept clinging to his body made Yuta Hashimaya exhausted both physically and mentally, and he regretted his decision to go out.

While sighing, he came across a live house that was still glowing with lights and emitting passionate music. With the mentality that he might as well listen to some music since he had nothing to do, he pushed open the door of the starry house, and because of the typhoon, he bought a ticket at a very cheap price.

The opening band's performance reminded him of his first time performing in a concert hall: he felt unfamiliar, green, immature and confused.

The inexplicably mismatched beats, the drum beats that are eager to correct, the vocals that are full of anxiety, unstable sound, and wrong rhythm, and the empty and blank eyes of the rhythm guitarist.

Then, he heard the sound of spring tide and rain coming in the evening, a tone unique to the piano.

The young man sitting in the corner gently stroked the piano keys, as if caressing them. The soft and gentle chords brought about the empty echo of waves hitting the rocks. The dangerously distorted tone was twisted to the extreme, as if to crush people's consciousness into a ball.

What a wonderful sound this is...

The warm sunlight breaks through the clouds and fog, and through the gaps, casting its gaze upon the world.

The sound of rain outside the house has completely disappeared. Yuta Hashitani is deeply intoxicated in the world created by the boy. He bathes in the warm sunshine, strolls on the beach that seems to have no end, and listens to the seagulls flapping their wings and crying, the breathing of the waves rising and falling, the surging waves, and the rolling waves.

Yuta Hashitani had closed his eyes without him knowing. The graceful melody filled the performance hall. He felt the sharp wind blowing through his body. The dense and imperceptible piano sounds penetrated his soul in an instant like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.

He opened his eyes, and the joyful shouts from the bottom of his heart and the buzzing eardrums told Yuta that if the boy in front of him continued to improve his piano skills, his future status would definitely not be underestimated, and he might even become a piano master.

When he looked up again, there was already a blazing flame in his eyes, and there was only one thought in his mind - such an outstanding talent must join our Tokyo University of the Arts piano department's big family!

Come on!

I must send this video, which symbolizes the future, to my teacher. I believe that after watching it, even if my teacher has made up his mind to devote his entire life to pursuing the pure mystery of piano, he will shed tears, roll up his sleeves again, and feel the desire to accept a disciple!

.......

The band's performance ended successfully, and passers-by and other bands left one after another.

Before long, the performance hall was empty except for the two fan girls in Ichiri, the five girls from K-ON!, the ending band, and Xingge, PA, and Kikuri who had been watching at the bar. There were 15 people in total, 14 of whom were women.

After the fan girls waved goodbye to Goto Ichiri, the only person left in the live house was the girl/woman that Mochizuki Saku knew.

Looking around, beauties with different styles and each with its own merits are competing for beauty. An elegant young man with a clear mind like the moon and a handsome appearance like a jade tree is standing next to them. It does not seem abrupt at all, but rather harmoniously constitutes this eye-catching picture of a hundred beauties.

But only Mochizuki Saku, the person involved, knows that being surrounded by beautiful women is not a pleasant feeling. You can regard him as being Versailles, or you can spit on him as a shameless person who takes advantage of others, but Mochizuki Saku's brain is already overloaded and working crazily.

Fortunately, there is a stupid woman who always breaks down in the stable daily life.

Hiroi Kikuri carried a strong smell of alcohol and took crooked and staggering steps. The red blush on her fair cheeks told her that the owner of this body was not sober. She rushed down from the mountain like a tiger and hugged Mochizuki Shuo...

Goto Ichiri beside me.

"Hey, Saku-chan, Pochi-chan, your performance was really amazing~! I was shocked by your band's skills. Although I was very nervous during the first song because it was my first time on stage, my performance after that was absolutely amazing!!!"

Hiroi Kikuri burped, then smiled and lay on the back of Ijichi Hoshige-senpai again. Her magnetic and deep voice bewitched the store manager's ear:

"Today is a day worth remembering! Let's have a celebration party! Let's cheer till dawn, Senior. You don't want Saku-chan and the others to regret not having a celebration party during their first LIVE when they look back on it, do you?"

"Okay, okay, there will definitely be a celebratory dinner." Yidizhi Xingge frowned and impatiently pushed away the drunken schoolgirl who was rubbing against her, with a dark face.

"Great~ I won't go home until I'm drunk~Great~!"

Unfortunately, before Hiroi Kikuri could shout "Long live the cat", the "powerful" Shimokitazawa demon Ijichi Seika grabbed the fragile scruff of a kitten and threw the disobedient purple-haired cat onto the sofa nearby.

"If you sober up and the party isn't over yet, come back."

Manager Xingge brushed off the dust on his hands, gave her a disdainful look, then looked at Wang Yueshuo who was surrounded by people and ordered, "There is a hangover medicine under the counter. Add a glass of boiled water and put it on the coffee table. She will drink it when she wakes up."

"Okay, is there anything else?" Mochizuki Saku agreed immediately and turned to look at Hiroi Kikuri who was sleeping soundly on the sofa.

The woman's limbs were spread out freely like a "big" character, her naughty little hands were hugging the rabbit doll on the sofa, her mouth was slightly open and closed, as if she was talking drunkenly.

When he turned around, the boy found that Yidizhi Xingge was still looking at him, and tilted his head in confusion: "Sister Xingge, what's wrong?"

"No." Yidizhi Xingge silently looked away and added lightly: "Everyone, pack up and go out for dinner later. It's my treat."

"Great!!!"

The performance went smoothly, and the girls who received applause and cheers looked at each other, then suddenly laughed out loud, waved their hands, and shouted loudly:

"Long live my sister/store manager!"

Chapter 66 One day, I will fill this place with people (Part 2)

"Hehe, Wangyue, you didn't expect that we are here after all!"

Like a 'good buddy', Tian Zhongli casually took Mochizuki Shuo's head, patted his shoulder in a mature manner, and said earnestly:

"The performance was great. As the keyboard player in the band, I think you are qualified and ready to start your career."

"No, don't say that. I still have many questions to ask Kotobuki-san."

When Wang Yueshuo heard this, he immediately shook his head and made an "X" with his hands.

Departure? That's impossible!

The opportunity of having a rich lady with MAX piano power as a mentor is rare in itself, not to mention that this long white thigh is right in front of you, how can you stick to your heart and not go beyond the rules? Sorry, although I am a gentleman, but the lady is really easy to use.

Besides, Qinchui didn’t say anything, so why should you, a monster, have a say?

Wang Yueshuo argued with reason and would never allow the girl with a wide forehead to ruin his good fortune.

"Alright, alright, seniors, stop arguing. It's embarrassing with so many people watching." Nakano Azusa frowned and quickly separated the two guys who were fighting over a disagreement. He smiled apologetically at the girls who had just finished the band.

This action startled PA Sang, who was watching the tiger fight on the mountain, and a look of shock flashed across his eyes.

Good guy...

Has this little girl with black twin ponytails maxed out her palace fighting value?

With just a few words, they assigned Shuojun to their team and treated the band politely, intending to point out that the five of us are more familiar with Shuojun than you. It was really... a good plan!

Alarm bells began to ring in Hayase Hazuki's heart, and she began to regard Nakano Azusa as a scheming person.

Unfortunately, all this was just Miss PA's illusion.

Nakano Azusa would do such a thing simply because it was Azusa's first reaction after seeing Mochizuki Saku and Tiananaka Ritsu playing outside and attracting the attention of passers-by.

The innocent girl's unintentional act made the real "bad woman" more alert. It was a fateful misunderstanding.

"Nice to meet you, everyone in the band. I'm Akiyama Mio, a good friend of Mochizuki Saku since childhood." Akiyama Mio extended her hand to Kita Nijika and the others gracefully.

"Hello, I'm Ichichi Hongxia, the leader and drummer of the Ending Band."

"Ah, you can call me Kita. I'm the lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the band Ending. Mochizuki-san is the mentor who led me on the path of guitar."

"So the junior high school girl that Shuo was talking about is you, hello~"

Yamada Ryo looked at this scene which seemed calm on the surface but was actually full of swords and sabers. An interesting expression appeared on his cold face. He secretly glanced at Mochizuki Saku who was sitting on the sofa drinking Coke, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

That’s really interesting, Mochizuki-san, I was right about you.
