As a veteran of Group C, I want to destroy mygo!

"Can't!"

"It doesn't matter to you, right?"

"I apologize for knocking you down, but you can't die! You have already proved to me how important it is to be alive, so you can't commit suicide!"

It all started with a misunderstood encounter on the overpass.

Saki-chan thought she was going to commit suicide, and was brought home by her to see the lyrics of the song, and the impromptu performance that is still unforgettable, and the invitation after the whisper:

"This lyric is amazing, really great, so touching! If there is such a lyric... If it's a band, would You want to join? I really hope he's not doing it for me, well, it would be great if he can agree without forcing himself..."

"Ah, sorry, I was talking to myself a little bit. Um, Deng, I actually have an idea."

"Would you like to form a band with me?"

band.

Knowing nothing, understanding nothing, and being unclear about nothing.

　However, being haunted by Xiangzi's impromptu performance, he began to develop an extravagant curiosity about everything related to it.

Along with them came the somewhat scary Li Xi and Mu, and Su Shi, who was as powerful as Xiangzi.

Then, she was the lead singer...

But I couldn't sing anything.

Although he was clearly attracted by Xiangzi's impromptu singing, Deng himself also vaguely felt that perhaps he also wanted to sing out all the words in his notebook with his own thoughts like Xiangzi did.

I never hate singing.

But... I couldn't even open my mouth and couldn't sing anything.

Can you sing as well as Xiangzi?

Can Lixi, Sushi and others be satisfied?

Am I really suitable for a band, suitable for singing, and can I become a human being?

Such confusion and tension continued until that day when Saki-chan pulled a boy into the practice room.

It was personally certified by Saki-chan that people like her were invited to join the band without knowing anything, and were not recognized by Riki and were rejected by the rude Kamiya Yu.

But he is really amazing. Even though Riki is so scary and screams so loudly and intensely when competing with her, You is not afraid at all. He is just like Saki-chan and can do things that she can never do.

Then, Yuu came to her side.

"Takamatsu Deng... um, can I call you by your name?" You sat down next to her, smiling and whispering.

From childhood to adulthood, the people close to her were all girls except her father, and there was no light of the opposite sex. Although she was very naive, she also knew the difference between genders. The first time a boy came so close to her, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, almost curled up, curled up and hugged her legs: "Hmm, hmm..."

Gao Songdeng stared at Xiangzi frequently, like a lamb being chased by wolves asking its mother for help, and looked at him frequently, not knowing what to do.

However, although Xiangzi saw her cry for help, he still held back and just chatted with Su Shi. He deliberately did not come over here and even took Su Shi and walked a little further away.

Seeing Gao Songdeng cowering helplessly, Kamiya You was not hurt by the rejection. He thought for a moment, sighed, and lowered his voice: "Actually, I came here to hug each other... Don't you think Li Xi is fierce?"

"Uh?"

You, you don’t seem scared at all, but why do you say that?

Facing Deng's confused eyes, Kamiya Yu continued to speak in a low voice: "I heard from Xiangzi that you are a complete novice with no basic skills? Me too, so, in this band, the two of us are being bullied!"

Gao Songdeng was even more confused: "Bullying?"

"Yes," Kamiya Yu said, glancing at Li Xi, Su Shi and Xiang Zi as if they were trading some secrets or whispering, "We are natural allies, closer allies than Xiang Bao... I mean Xiang Zi, closer allies than Xiang Zi. You see, you are bullied by Li Xi, and I am bullied by Li Xi too. To put it in a rounded way, we are both on the opposite side of Li Xi."

"To be honest, I'm really relieved to see you here, Deng."

"I was originally wondering if I, who can't play any instruments, would have any trouble fitting into such a high-end band. But now I know. At least I can still be friends with you, because we are the same kind of people, Deng."

"Stand on my side. If Youdeng were my friend, I would dare to stay in this band and wouldn't be afraid of the scary Li Xi."

Kamiya Yu's eyes were bright and he seemed very sincere as he stretched out his hand towards Takamatsu Deng.

He was expectant, sincere, and willing to say in a friendly manner: "Can you lend me your courage, lamp?"

However, Kamiya Yu himself did not notice it.

This was the first time he did something that seemed a bit childish, so his acting skills were really not good enough and he looked a bit awkward.

However, it was precisely because of this youthful awkwardness that Gao Songdeng, who was a little dazed but not a fool, felt in her heart that You said these things on purpose to deceive her and to make herself feel at ease. Deng really began to think that maybe You was indeed a little like her and was afraid of Li Xi.

The incompatible band, at this moment, made Deng begin to truly feel that he was really in this band, that he was really a member of the band, and not just a friend of Saki-chan, standing here as an irrelevant who could not talk to anyone else.

…Are she and Yuu more natural allies than Saki-chan?

In this team, should she and You really be the most united friends in this band?

Even if it was her, would it be of any use?

"Can I really... lend my courage to You?" They had already shared the same hatred for the enemy, and together with You, they stood opposite Li Xi.

Seeing this, Kamiya You smiled and nodded gently: "Well, if I can get the blessing of the lamp, even if I am a person who knows nothing more than the lamp, not only can I not sing, I don't know how to play musical instruments, and I can't write lyrics, I will definitely dare to stand in front of Li Xi and resist her tyranny!"

"Then I will be able to overthrow the evil Shiina Riki in one fell swoop, and then defeat all members including Wakaba Mutsu and Nagasaki Motoyo, and turn this band into a place where we can truly live."

"With Deng and I, we don't have to be afraid of anything. We can be happy and joyful with everyone else to fill this band together!"

Inciting beautiful visions and a promising future, Deng feels hopeful.

"That……"

Since joining the band, Gao Songdeng's eyes have been hesitant and uneasy, as if he had been separated from his parents and went to a world he had never seen before.

Even though Saki always stood by her side and explained everything to her gently, there was still a vague wall between her and Saki. That was the boundary between humans and her, the shared destiny of Crychic, which made her feel uneasy.

And now, Gao Songdeng's little hands were trembling.

But even so, she still pursed her lips, determined, and for the first time in her eyes, she revealed determination and placed her hand in Kamiya Yu's palm.

"If so, I will lend all my courage to You!"

I mustered up the courage, for the first time ever.

"Well, I did receive it. Thank you, my friend, Deng." Kamiya Yu clasped his hands together, held Takamatsu Deng's trembling little hand, and comforted Kira until she stopped trembling.

Then, he whispered, "So, it's up to me, the lamp."

"...?"

You, what are you going to do?

Just as such doubts were rising in her heart, Gao Songdeng saw that Yu, who had borrowed courage from her, slowly stood up. Under the surprised gazes of Saki-chan, Su Shi, and Mu, he walked in front of Li Xi without hesitation and said those words that sounded like a provocation:

"As a bandmate, can you teach me how to play drums, Lixi?"

Yuu, war has been declared.

She did what she could never do.

To protect her... because she is a natural ally and a true friend.

Yuu is her hero.

Takamatsu Deng never knew that in this world where she was so out of place, she could feel so safe and could stand behind someone and watch him fight against the most terrifying things for her.

Obviously, she is just like her, she knows nothing and is not accepted by anyone except Saki-chan.

But You stood up so bravely.

Because I lent him my courage.

"Can I... really be like You? Do I really have such great courage?"

Whispering.

It was not until the band's practice time was over that Deng woke up from her dream. However, she didn't feel like any time had passed that day. It seemed like so many hours had passed in a flash. It was really strange.

Until I took off my clothes in a trance, took a shower in the bathroom, and combed my hair in front of the mirror.

Gao Songdeng discovered for the first time that her eyes and her look could one day become so passionate, so excited, and so serious.

The person in the mirror completely overturned her perception of herself.

This has happened too much today.

She touched the cold mirror, but the warmth transmitted from her fingertips did not make her feel bad at all.

"since……"

It was so quiet, so quiet that nothing could be heard, but it really existed and was really sung.

"I don't exist here, there is no place for me here..."

The sound is getting louder and louder.

Watching the lips in the mirror humming, talking, singing, and releasing themselves.

It was not a polite smile meant to blend into the human world.

Gao Songdeng's right hand tightly grasped the palm of her left hand that lent her courage. She felt so warm, so warm.

Volume 70: Chapter 69 6. Deng's Memories: Deng Xi Century Reconciliation (k words)

...I can’t sing anymore.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

In the practice room, Gao Songdeng stared blankly at the showmanship as he used his leapfrog skills towards Li Xi. Compared to the random hammering that sounded like noise and interference at the beginning yesterday, although You was still far behind Li Xi, it was clear that he could hear it.

Very impressive. It’s… much more impressive than yesterday.

Looking at You like this, I should feel happy, I should be happy for him, and I should be proud of him.

It was precisely because of the courage she borrowed that You was able to make Li Xi show such a shocked and surprised expression, just like a scary big dog that always chases people and barks even though it doesn't bite, but is finally no longer so scary.

But... it's very uncomfortable.

Watching You's rapid progress, watching the recognition that although Li Xi was still tough and refused to admit defeat, he had actually been defeated by You and seemed less scary, watching him clearly challenge Li Xi for himself, but in the end it was the two of them sitting together.

So, what about me?

Didn’t we agree that we are best friends and natural allies?

"Good morning, Mr. Dagu?"

"What kind of stupid, inexplicable name is that? Double the training today!"

"That's a pity. It just so happens that it's not possible today. We need to find a way to train our band's lead singer today. Have you forgotten?"

The lead singer of our band.

This slightly unfamiliar title, which was obviously different from 'drum teacher', made Gao Songdeng tremble even more. She suddenly felt as if her chest and shoulders were holding up so many meteorites, so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

The face I saw in the mirror last night can never be replicated again.

Even though I really wanted to smile excitedly like that, wanted to sing like that, didn't want to make Saki-chan worry, and didn't want to hold the band back.

But... I can't sing anything.

Even though Saki-chan took me to the karaoke bar with such care, and after the team disbanded, I was dragged to the overpass, and watched Saki-chan shout out bravely, calling out to the world bravely: "I really want to! Become a human!!"

Obviously, she should have the courage like Saki-chan.

She obviously... shouldn't even be afraid of Li Xi now.

But why is it that it is even more difficult to look at Li Xi than before, and I dare not face him even more?

Why, all of a sudden, it seems to have turned back to the way it was before I met Saki-chan?

Band, are you really happy?

Is she the only one who is unhappy?

Because she is not human, even if she is a natural ally, even if she is a partner against Li Xi, after she goes to Li Xi's side, she, the useless lead singer, will no longer be needed.

“…I’m sorry.” I couldn’t sing anything.

Even though Saki-chan patiently tried every possible way to torment him for three whole days, until Riki's eyes became more and more unfriendly, until even the expressionless Mu and the seemingly gentle Su Shi felt a little bit awkward and showed strange expressions.

Should she actually quit Crychic?

"How anxious, everyone."

...You?

With his eyes slightly wide open and listless, he was about to say something full of unconfidence that he himself didn't even know what he was thinking, but the moment he heard Kamiya Yuu, who had stopped playing the drums, speak, all of Takamatsu Deng's attention was diverted to him and he stared at him blankly.
