Love? Please allow me to simulate it first!

"Well, Afeng has a very good relationship with my father." Goto Ichiri wanted to say something to help Nakamura Feng, but what he said made Nakamura Feng feel even more heartbroken.

(So ​​my only gay friends are two older men...)

Nakamura Mine's face gradually darkened.

"Pochi, well done." Seeing that Nakamura Mine was completely defeated, Yamada Ryo patted Goto Ichiri on the head as a reward.

"Haha, okay, let's stop chatting here, and we should also get ready..." As she said that, Ijichi Hongxia was about to close the door, but a voice stopped her action.

"By the way, the first band to appear is called The End? Have you heard of this band?"

"I don't know, I haven't heard of it, and I'm not interested."

“I’m really too lazy to watch it.”

"..."

Hongxia slowly closed the door.

Chapter 176: End of the Band's Debut

"Ahaha~ After all, we were just established and we don't have much fame. Don't be discouraged." Ijichi Hongxia encouraged everyone not to be affected by the conversation between the two people just now, but her own tone actually seemed quite unconfident.

"Yes...that's it." Kita Ikuyo agreed.

"Don't worry about it, don't worry about it." Yamada Ryo's tone was rarely tense.

"Hmm..." Goto Ichiri responded. His originally very good mood because the two sisters who were moved by his open-air performance actually came over was now diluted a lot.

(That's true. We are not famous at the moment. The audiences who come here are either invited by everyone or come for other bands that will come later...)

"I say, are you really affected by this? If you don't want to be told that, then just use your performance to make them become your fans." Nakamura Mine really felt no pressure at all about this. After all, at this point, there was no reason to be nervous. He would not be affected by a few impatient words.

"Afeng is right, very good! It's time to go on stage, everyone, come on! Oh!" Perhaps Nakamura Feng's words really played some role. In any case, Ijichi Hongxia's tone was indeed not so unconfident. She raised her right hand high and said solemnly, with a band peripheral she made herself on her wrist, and others followed suit.

"Oh!"

On the stage, the originally dark spotlight suddenly lit up, and under the light were all the band members who were ready to end their performance.

"Hello everyone, we are the Ending Band." The lead singer, Ikuyo Kita, introduced the name of the band. Although her tone was a little nervous, she felt a lot more relaxed after seeing several of her friends in the audience.

"Kita~" Kita Ikuyo's friends also waved to Kita Ikuyo, and because of this at least the atmosphere did not become awkward.

"Ah! Xiaofeng! We are here, here! Woo woo~"

A voice with a cute tone but quite loud volume suddenly sounded in the space with first-class echo effect. When Nakamura Mine heard this voice, his heart skipped a beat.

"Wei! Idiot!" Akiyama Mio immediately covered the mouth of Hirasawa Wei who was about to say something. Hirasawa Wei was fine, as she was already steaming from shame. Tianzhong Ritsu also quickly apologized to the people next to her and gave Hirasawa Wei a slap on the face. Kotobuki Tsumugi also lowered her head with a blush.

No one around blamed them. After all, it was not uncommon for the audience to be louder during a band's live performance. It was just that everyone was relatively quiet just now, which made Hirasawa Yui's voice seem particularly discordant. Now looking at their performance, others just found it funny.

(Xiaofeng?)

(What a cute name.)

(Is this the genius girl with perfect pitch?)

(Haha, interesting.)

In any case, because of Hirasawa Yui's incredible move, all the tension of the people on the stage disappeared. However, Nakamura Mine, who should have been the calmest, now just wants to escape from this social death scene as soon as possible.

"Okay, well, let's perform a song. This is our original song. I hope you like it."

"Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet"

This piece of music can be said to be the song that the band has practiced the most and is the one they are most familiar with at this stage, so naturally no one had any major problems.

"So amazing." Hirasawa Yui looked at the closing band members on the stage with sparkling eyes.

"Indeed..." Kotobuki Tsumugi was also watching very seriously, but her eyes were mainly focused on Nakamura Mine. As the saying goes, an expert knows the ins and outs of a piece of music. Based on the performance of this piece of music, Kotobuki Tsumugi could tell that Nakamura Mine's level was definitely above her own.

"Well, especially seniors Feng and Liang, their performance doesn't even look like that of a new band." There was admiration in Akiyama Mio's eyes.

"Hehe~Okay! When Wei learns to play the guitar, we will also have a performance like this! Of course, that guy Feng has to come, too!" When Tianzhong Ritsu saw the ending band under the spotlight, he couldn't stop looking forward to the band's performance.

"The performance of 'Guitar, Dugu and Blue Planet' is over." Kita Ikuyo, who had done a great job as the lead singer, said into the microphone and felt relieved because there were no major mistakes.

"The level is just average, nothing special to see."

"Well, I really shouldn't have come so early."

Two indifferent voices sounded from the audience. The speakers were the two women who had made Yidi Zhihong Xia and others feel pressured before the performance.

"Well, that." Kita Ikuyo, who had never expected this situation to happen, was suddenly panicked.

"What? He's obviously very powerful." Hirasawa Wei puffed up his cheeks in dissatisfaction.

"Kitaro, okay, let's start the next song." Sensing that the atmosphere was not good, Ijichi Hongxia quickly reminded.

"Ah, okay, okay."

Nakamura Mine narrowed his eyes, he was a little angry. He did think there was nothing wrong with what the two people said before the performance, but now they were still in the middle of the performance, and saying such things would obviously make the atmosphere awkward.

"The next song is also our original song, which was written not long ago..."

After stretching his fingers, Nakamura Mine put them back on the keyboard. He didn't want the two guys in the audience to leave with disdain for ending the band.

The first time his fingers touched the keys, Nakamura Mine heard the sound of a guitar, and it was a very high-speed and high-level strumming guitar sound.

At this moment, Nakamura Mine and Goto Ichiri looked at each other at the same time, as if they understood that the other had the same thoughts as themselves, and turned back to their own performances.

(This performance must not end like this!)

The sounds of guitar and keyboard rubbed and collided in the air, as if they were competing with each other and encouraging each other. Within a few seconds at this moment, whether in the audience or on the stage, except for the two of them, everyone seemed to have forgotten to breathe and just looked at them quietly.

The keyboard is pulsating and the guitar is roaring.

"So handsome." Hirasawa Yui stared blankly at Goto Ichiri on the stage. At this moment, in her mind she seemed to see herself holding a guitar and standing in the place where the lights were flashing, shining brightly.

(Is this a real guitar player?)

Soon, the other people in the band on stage also reacted and followed suit and started playing.

Chapter 177 The Band

【The band's songs are important to me】

[Like a high-pitched, shrill laugh]

【The band's songs are important to me】

[Noise like the sound of a railway crossing bell]

"Hey, Haruha, the lyrics of this song..." Hoshikuma Utabuki said to Yasaka Haruha who was wrapped up like a detective beside her.

"You don't need to tell me, I know."

(This guy is still so annoying... But, he is really amazing...)

[After closing your eyes, light enters darkness]

[Plug your ears and the drumbeat does exist]

[My heart beats deep in my chest]

[I don’t want to hear anything else]

[Except the sound I made]

Yamada Ryo was playing with her head half lowered, but her golden eyes could see two familiar figures off the stage through her bangs. Although one of them had almost no skin exposed, it was precisely because of this that she was more certain of that person's identity.

She told Nakamura Mine that Yasaka Haruha and Hoshikuma Utabuki were her former friends, but did she really mean that?

If you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be the case. Before meeting Nakamura Mine, Goto Ichiri and Kita Ikuyo, Ijichi Kouka was her only friend. Apart from her family, the others could only be divided into strangers and acquaintances.

As for Yasaka Haruha and Hoshikuma Utabuki, Yamada Ryo once created a new category for them, that is, companions who can pursue their dreams together.

She liked her previous band very much, at least at the beginning. At that time, their band's immature but energetic songs could also make her obsessed, but in the end it did not have a good ending.

Do you feel regretful? Thinking back carefully, when the band just disbanded, it seems that she felt more confused and tired of the band than regret. For a while, she was too lazy to pick up her favorite bass guitar.

The one who made her take the first step was her only friend, Ijichi Hongxia, who asked her to play the bass if she had nothing to do, saying that she loved her bass very much and invited her to form a band again.

She agreed because it was the invitation from her only friend.

But in fact, she did not have any special expectations for this. In her opinion at the time, no matter what kind of band it was at the beginning, in order to pursue fame, they would always take the same path. The only difference was sooner or later. Hong Xia would definitely understand this fact sooner or later.

However, not long after they decided to form a band, two people who were willing to join them appeared as if they were offered the chance, two very interesting people.

One is a keyboard player who has a special liking for watching practical jokes, and the other is a guitarist who always makes a lot of incomprehensible reactions as if there is a bug in his central nervous system.

They are really special people, and she likes special people the most. Every time she sees the guitarist get sick, she can't help but take pictures to keep as treasures. Every quarrel with the keyboard player makes her very excited.

Then another person came who actually couldn't play the guitar at all but wanted to join in as the lead guitarist. He was her former fan, and she had been admiring her from the very beginning. In fact, she suspected it was her illusion at first, but later she was very sure. To be honest, she even doubted whether the other person's sexual orientation was normal because he was too enthusiastic about her, but she never had the courage to ask.

Later, at Hongxia's suggestion, the band was to create their own original music, with her being responsible for composing the music and their lead guitarist being responsible for writing the lyrics.

She was pleasantly surprised by the guitarist’s lyrics. Although the lyrics were a bit dark, they fit his personality very well and she seemed to be able to communicate with the lyricist just by looking at the lyrics.

After that, the keyboard player also created an original song and asked her for help in arranging the music. She didn't know when it started, but she found it extremely funny to see the other party being humiliated.

Just as she was becoming more and more immersed in the current band atmosphere and completely forgetting her past memories, she had a very long and very real dream.

In the dream, she recalled the time when she had just quit the band. The difference was that on the day she announced her withdrawal, she met the keyboard player who should have been impossible to appear. This change messed up everything that happened afterwards. She didn't even have time to feel confused before she was taken to perform outdoors. A lot of things happened during that time, and it seemed that the keyboard player had also done a lot of things without telling her.

It was not until the end of the dream that she understood the other party's intention. She didn't know why the other party did this, but it was just like why she had this dream. She would probably never understand it.

But there was one thing she was very clear about, that dream was definitely not just a dream, and the people who appeared in the dream were definitely not just illusions.

That person didn't want to talk, so she didn't ask anymore. But since he was willing to come into her dream to let her understand her past, she didn't mind doing the same thing in the real world.

After all, that person is special.

[Finding your own destination in the discordant sound]

[Even if I was saved by that sad song]

Sweat gradually dripped down Nakamura Mine's forehead, but he did not feel tired, but unusually excited. This was the first time he played with such a feeling. Especially when the five of them sometimes merged into one in an instant, the exhilarating feeling almost made him addicted, but when that moment ended, he felt lost.

Thinking back to the beginning, he had only brought Goto Ichiri to join the Ending Band for fun. Now that he had finally gotten a new life and an external plug-in, how could he resist letting himself go?

[The title of "When I open my eyes, I see loneliness"]

【Accept this lonely impulse】

[At this moment, the sound of my heart is echoing in my heart]

[I don’t want to hear anything else]

[Except the music we play]

The echo of the instruments gradually dissipated, and those who had finished their performances all showed satisfied smiles. Goto Ichiri looked at everyone, panting. Kita Ikuyo gave her a bright smile, Yamada Ryoya nodded to her, Nakamura Mine and Ijichi Nijika gave her a thumbs up. At that moment alone, she thought she was the luckiest person in the world.

The applause from the audience first sounded like a drizzle of rain, but soon it became a downpour.

"It's so amazing! I can't tell you why, but it's really amazing!" Hirasawa Yui was so excited that she almost jumped up. Only then did she truly understand the power of the so-called band.

"The second song, 'That Band', is finished."

Chapter 178 Irreversible Replacement

"Ritsu, Tsumugi." Akiyama Mio said blankly while looking at the stage.

"Well, a very wonderful performance." Kotobuki Tsumugi responded very seriously, but her hands involuntarily clenched into fists and placed on her heart. She almost felt as if the beating frequency of her heart was still following the music just now.

"Oh~ Damn it! I really want to play drums now!" The fingers of Tianzhong Ritsu's hands moved strangely in front of her body, showing her inner unrest.

"..." Yasaka Haruha stared at Yamada Ryo on the stage, who was smiling a smile she had never seen before, and pursed her lips slightly.

"What a pretty good band, isn't it, Haruha?" Hoshiguma Utabuki turned around and stared at his friend.

"..." Yasaka Haruha turned her face to the other side where she couldn't see Hoshiguma Utabuki, but the other party insisted on walking to that side and continued to look at her. Being stared at by the other party, she felt more and more guilty.

"What are you doing? What exactly do you want to hear me say? Let me be clear in advance. If you want me to apologize to that guy, forget it. The destruction of the world is impossible." Yasaka Haruha said stubbornly.

"It's not this, it's just, is it really okay to end it like this?"

"......"Silence lasted for a long time between the two.

"So what? That guy has already joined the band, and... this is the first time I've seen her smile like that."
