"Don't lower your head! Watch my movements!" The voice rose slightly, and Goto Doku was frightened and trembled. He almost subconsciously lowered his head and dared not look at Uesugi Sumika, but the next second, Uesugi Sumika's voice became a little louder.
"Little Lonely! Watch my movements!" He looked extremely serious, just like a strict teacher. Goto Doku felt her throat getting tighter and tighter, as if she was about to vomit. She had never thought that Uesugi Sumika, who usually looked so easy-going and even indifferent, would be so strict with herself at this time.
but......
"Uesugi-san is right."
These words echoed in Goto Doku's mind. She knew very well that the biggest problem in the band was not the newbie Kita Ikuyo, but herself, the out-of-place guitarist. As a guitar hero, she should have been the one who could lead the band forward, but the reality was just the opposite. Her role in the band now might not be as great as the guidance of Uesugi Sumire beside her.
Ijichi Kouka looked at Goto Doku's already tense expression and wanted to speak to ease the atmosphere, but the next second Yamada Ryo stopped her as if he understood what she meant.
Yamada Ryo said nothing, but just nodded to Hongxia.
While listening to the song playing on Yamada Ryo's mobile phone, Uesugi Sumi played the guitar in his hand almost 100% to reproduce the rhythm. Goto Doku's guitar gradually caught up with Uesugi Sumi's rhythm. At this time, he suddenly turned around and nodded to Ijichi Kouka and Yamada Ryo behind him.
The two girls almost understood what he meant, and from an appropriate window, the sounds of drums and bass were heard.
Gotodu felt her brain was blank, and she was just numbly following the music based on her muscle memory. But at this moment, she heard the sounds of other instruments, and without even thinking about it, her body instinctively followed the rhythm of the band.
"Good... so amazing..." Kita Ikuyo looked at the performance that was almost on track. She didn't expect that Goto Doku, who seemed a little out of place during the practice just now, would be motivated just like this and start to display some of the strength she should have.
Uesugi Cheng reduced the sound of his guitar at the right time and faded out from their performance.
Soon the next part was played by the three girls together. Even Goto Doku looked at her guitar in disbelief. She actually followed the team's rhythm seriously.
"I...I want to stay here. I want to continue to form a band with Ryo, Kita, and Nijika. I also want to...become a celebrity."
The small budding dream has taken the first step. Goto Doku is very happy. Maybe she can really become the person in her dreams.
"Then the stage will be handed over to you again, Kita-san. Get ready, come on." Uesugi Sumiya took two steps back, put down his guitar, and smiled gently, as if the stern Uesugi Sumiya just now had never existed.
"A little loneliness..."
"Yes!!" Just by hearing the voice, Goto Doku instantly stood up straight and looked straight ahead, just like a soldier who had received an order.
"Don't be so nervous, Xiao Lonely, relax, raise your head, don't just look at your guitar."
"Okay... okay!" Goto Doku was almost about to salute Uesugi Sumire. She had completely trusted the boy in front of her, the boy who had easily helped her overcome the difficulties that had been difficult for her to overcome so far.
Of course, the result of the rehearsal is still not so satisfactory. After all, the problems and problems of Xiao Gudu and Kita cannot be solved in a day or two. But looking at the expression of Ijichi Hongxia, you can tell that they are very satisfied with the band's progress today. Although there are still many mistakes in the performance of the whole song, those are things that need time and practice to solve.
"Um, Uesugi-san, if it's possible... I would like you to guide my practice in the next few days. Please!!"
Goto Doku bowed almost 90 degrees, and although his tone was not as nervous as before the practice began, it could be heard that he was very nervous.
"Well...and me." Kita also bowed slightly.
"A little lonely..."
"Well, well, well...if you want a reward...I, I, I..."
Uesugi Sumiko simply prolonged the tone a little, and Goto Doku's courage, which had just been mustered, instantly deflated, and it seemed that his brain was in overload mode again, and he couldn't even speak clearly, and he even held the guitar with both hands when he spoke.
"I, I, I.....mortgage my guitar..."
"No, it's not about payment or anything like that. How about playing this song for me? This is the first time I've been asked to teach someone something like this, so there's no need for payment. All I need is for you to sing this song, okay?"
The four members of the Bond Band nodded together at this time. Uesugi Cheng smiled with satisfaction and touched Goto Doku's head.
"Well, in that case, it's time for me to practice... Please point out any shortcomings." Uesugi Cheng picked up the guitar, opened his phone and started choosing songs.
The reason why he agreed to coach the Bond Band was not only because he really needed helpers and the friendship with the girls in the band, but more importantly, he had the confidence to help the Bond Band do better. Their problems were not entirely technical. With the great technique of [Quenching and Extinguishing], he was confident that he could help Goto Doku find a state suitable for playing in the band, so that her strength could be fully brought into play.
"Uesugi-san... is really amazing." Goto Doku and Kita Ikuyo looked at Uesugi Sumire's technique, which was so standard that it couldn't be more standard, and the same thought popped into their minds.
Chapter 81: Commission from Baiyin Yuxing
"Hello? What's the matter?"
On the way home, Uesugi Sumiya once again received a call that shouldn't have come.
"President, shouldn't you be working right now? Why are you in the mood to call me?"
However, the voice of Shirogane Miyuki on the other end of the phone sounded a little serious, and he did not respond to Sugisumi's teasing.
"Uesugi, I have a very serious question for you."
"As for love, please go directly to the accountant Ishigami Yuu you found. If all else fails, just admit defeat to Shinomiya Kaguya. I don't have any experience that I can give you in this regard."
"No, not this... Uesugi, something happened."
Half an hour later, Uesugi Sumiko, who had temporarily changed his route, walked into the subway station. The busy subway station was almost full of people. Uesugi Sumiko wiped his nose. Although various smells gradually faded away with the cold air of the air conditioner, they were still mixed in the air of the subway station.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Baiyin Yuxing's expression was calm, even dead silent.
"What happened that made you call me here at this time? I don't think I can help you with anything, right?"
"Missing... a student from Shuchiin."
"That doesn't seem to be mine either... What did you say?! Are you sure? Missing?"
The students of Shuchi Academy are either extremely talented or have strong family backgrounds. In addition, due to the policy bias, almost everyone knows that students wearing Shuchi Academy uniforms are not to be messed with, so Shirogane Miyuki's sudden disappearance really shocked people.
"He's missing, and... in this subway station." Shirogane Yuxing pinched his nose in pain. This matter should have nothing to do with him as the student union president. After all, the student disappeared during the holidays and in the subway station on his own. However, the main reason that made Shirogane Yuxing uneasy and even had to investigate the matter was that this line or even this station was the only way for him and his sister to go home. He couldn't imagine how devastated he would be if this happened in his own home.
"Tell me, how did he disappear? Let's go to a store and order a drink of water and talk slowly. I'll treat you. It's like you providing information and I'm doing my part." Uesugi Cheng twisted his neck, and Shirogane Miyuki instantly felt that the man who used to be his right-hand man in the student union had returned, and he even felt a little more at ease.
"Okay, I'll do as you say..." Shirogane Yuxing let out a long sigh. To be honest, he didn't trust the ability of the Japanese police at all. Instead of believing that they could solve the serial disappearance cases and find the missing persons safely, he might as well believe that these missing people just suddenly wanted to go to the Internet cafe to play games and played for several days.
Uesugi Cheng sat down. Where Shirogane Miyuki couldn't see, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he put on his plain glasses.
"The missing person is the youngest son of an official. He doesn't usually take the subway, but it seems that he lost a bet with a friend, so he went to explore some... urban legend."
When Uesugi Cheng heard these four words, he almost slapped his forehead.
"Japanese students nowadays are so idle. If they have nothing to do, can they talk to their families about getting in touch with what they do at home? If not, wouldn't it be great if they just pretend to be rich and have fun? Why do they want to explore that urban legend?!"
Shirogane Miyuki was a little surprised by Uesugi Cheng's reaction, but continued to speak.
"In fact, I have searched the Internet for the urban legend they are exploring. It should be called 'Station with No Name'. The specific content is roughly that the subway should have stopped at the terminal, but it still drove forward to a desolate station with no people and no electricity or signal. If you get off there, you will never be able to come back."
"Will this kind of content become an urban legend? I can tell you right now that those so-called stations other than the terminal stations are generally built for military purposes for war defense or refuge considerations, so they don't have names that are visible to the public. But later on, as you know, there is no need to demolish these stations after they are no longer in use, so they are simply abandoned."
"But subways generally don't go there, right?" Although Shirogane Miyuki agreed with Uesugi Sumire's statement, he still raised his own question.
"Yes, so the biggest problem with this legend is which line and which subway train went to the so-called unnamed station, and who escaped death and spread this information."
"Don't you consider the possibility that this urban legend is just an unfounded blind guess?"
"You've seen a series of disappearances where even the bodies haven't been found, so it's reasonable to consider the possibility of something supernatural, right? So, how did you know that the student was missing?"
Having said that, the bloodshot in Baiyin Yuxing's eyes seemed to become a little ferocious. He paused and simply drank the ice water in the cup.
"He stood me up. I had some student union work to do during the summer vacation, and he was supposed to submit his information to me yesterday, but I didn't receive any information at all. So I simply went to ask him, and I heard that he disappeared while coming here to complete some urban legend adventure. My family is already preparing to put pressure on the police station."
"As for the police... I hope his family is prepared. Baiyin, I guess we can only do some basic investigation. If possible, try to find another way."
Baiyin Yuxing felt helpless after hearing this, but he could only nod.
"I see. I still have work to do. I will make time to investigate with you tomorrow."
Uesugi Cheng certainly knew that Shirogane Miyuki was probably almost at his limit now, but he also knew that it was impossible to stop this guy from working hard by persuasion.
"Don't worry about the investigation for now. One more person may not be helpful. If it really is a supernatural phenomenon, I think you're probably being targeted if you try so hard. Just do your thing. I'll do the preliminary investigation."
Uesugi Cheng watched Shirogane Miyuki leave, but had no intention of moving, as he knew very well that he had more than one guest.
"Hey, Hayasaka-san, even though we are no longer classmates, it's not a good idea for you to come over and spy on me like this, right?"
"Excuse me, Uesugi-san..."
Hayasaka Ai, dressed as a fashionable hot girl, pulled out a chair and sat down, her pretty face cold as ice.
"You are still the same as always..."
Chapter 82 Hayasaka Ai is jealous
"Haysaka, do you remember? I told you that I have an advantage." Uesugi Cheng interrupted Hayasaka Ai's words that were about to come out.
"What do you want to say?"
"What I mean is that one of the few good things about me is that I will interrupt other people's comments on me to keep myself in a good mood, so you can ask me what you want to talk to me about. If you don't have anything, you can pay me the bill as compensation for wasting my time."
Hayasaka Ai suddenly felt her fist harden. It seemed that this man was acting as a military strategist for Shirogane Miyuki when he was in Shuchiin. His only role was to destroy the plan she provided for Shinomiya Kaguya, making her work in vain.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry, this guy is still useful..." The terrifying low pressure around Hayasaka Ai has scared many people so much that they consciously sit a little further away. Some people who are curious have even taken out their mobile phones to see what will develop next.
"Um... Uesugi-san, someone here invites you to come over. If it's convenient, can we set off now?"
Uesugi Cheng looked at Hayasaka Ai, who adjusted her expression and tone in almost one second, and felt deeply that the abilities of these attendants were different. However, he did not continue to provoke Hayasaka Ai. After all, he also knew the principle of knowing when to stop.
"So, is it Miss Shinomiya?"
"......please."
Hayasaka Ai's reaction surprised Uesugi Sumiko. If it was Kaguya Shinomiya who invited him, Hayasaka Ai would not have reacted like this, nor would she have said nothing.
"Come to think of it, what is Hayasaka doing? A double agent? Or..."
"please!"
This time her tone even sounded a little out of control, although Uesugi Cheng saw that her face was still wearing a perfect, mask-like smile, and even Uesugi Cheng could almost feel that the mask was about to break.
Uesugi Sumire remained silent, raised his hands as if in surrender, and followed Hayasaka Ai.
"Please get in the car. We have already consulted Mr. Uesugi Nobuyuki for his opinion on this invitation, and he did not object." Hayasaka Ai spoke very little, and the expression on her face was almost colder than that of Shinomiya Kaguya, who had just enrolled in Shuchiin.
"Then he said he didn't agree, and gave me the right to choose. I'm curious, who would let you invite me? If it was the head of the Shinomiya family, he wouldn't have let you come at all. I don't think he has a hobby of torturing his subordinates."
The creaking sound of teeth grinding was particularly clear in the small space inside the car. The driver looked as expressionless as a dead person. If Uesugi Cheng had not been able to clearly feel that the two people in the car had normal heartbeats, he would have wondered if this car was a hearse.
"Uesugi-san, I don't think I need to remind you what your last name represents."
"For example... ridicule, bullying, harsh treatment, and pressure? Hayasaka-san, I think we really don't need to talk about such meaningless things here. I think you just need to explain what the person is looking for and what the matter is."
"I'm just reminding you that even if you think you can live like an ordinary person without your family and responsibilities, it's just an illusion."
"And you want me to be like you?"
The car fell into silence, and Hayasaka Ai finally stopped talking. She suddenly felt that everything she said was wrong, and she should just do as she was asked. At least this way she could take a longer bath tonight and watch two more hydraulic press decompression videos.
"Finally, the Uesugi family is not the Hayasaka family nor the Shinomiya family. The Hayasaka family..."
Uesugi Sumiya didn't continue talking, his eyes spoke it all for him, and he got off the car at the destination, leaving Hayasaka Ai almost wanting to punch the wall with her fist, but in the end she could only sigh.
"That's why I hate you and I'm jealous of you..." Hayasaka Ai had a bitter expression, but in the end she combed her hair again and prepared to return to Shinomiya Kaguya.
"I never thought that you would want to find me... Normally, shouldn't you go find my brother or my...father?"
The blonde beauty in front of him was sitting at the table. On the table were two cups of steaming tea that looked as if they had just been brewed.
"Ms. Hayasaka Nao, I haven't seen you for a long time. I wonder what you can do for me today?" Uesugi Sumire adjusted his collar. It was just a small action, and Hayasaka Nao suddenly felt that the Uesugi Sumire who was indifferent to everything seemed to have returned in front of her, just like the little boy hiding behind Master Uesugi when she first saw him many years ago.
"In fact, I wanted to talk to you about something, such as how you get along with Ai, but since you have already left Shuchiin, I don't think it's necessary to ask this question."
"You think too highly of me. I am not the kind of person who can get along well with others. If I were, I probably wouldn't have left Shuchiin. Your daughter is a very outstanding and tenacious girl. To be honest, I think it's very rare that she doesn't hate me. So I'd like to ask you one more question. Why did you come to me today instead of the Uesugi family?"
"I heard something... about Unified Middle School, and you, so I have something I want to confirm with you, Uesugi Cheng, the terrifying genius."
Uesugi Cheng smiled but did not speak.
"Just think of it as my investment in you. The Shinomiya family will use everyone they can. This is the family motto. As the Shinomiya family's close servants, the Hayasaka family naturally has their own family motto. We will also do something similar."
"Are you so sure that I am the one who needs your investment? I am a picky and unsociable person, so I am very resistant to the so-called investment."
"What if... my investment is based on some unconfirmed rumors?"
Hayasaka Nao still looked extremely calm, as if she had already secured victory.
"You mean?"
"Although I don't know exactly why, you seem to be very interested in those weird rumors about ghosts and gods in the city. We can't confirm or disprove those things, but I think that information will be very helpful to you, right?"
"What do you need?"
"A favor? Why can't you think of it as an investment from me or the Hayasaka family in you?"
"It's really hard to talk to someone like you, but I agree with what you said. After all, I guess you won't fool me with those boring things."
"of course."
Hayasaka Nao seemed to have expected this and took out a bag of documents.
