Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

Page 23

It’s time to wake up from the dream.

So, I woke up from the dream.

Shizi saw that Marina opened her eyes and slowly sat up. She smiled with relief.

Look, Miss Marina is fine after all.

Shiko lifted up Miss Marina's cold body, and Kita found the letter under the body.

There are four in total.

She tremblingly unfolded the first letter, and the four of them gathered together and began to read.

Shiko put her ear close to Ms. Marina's lips and listened carefully.

Marina spoke:

"To the Ending Band and Shizi-san: I'm sorry, I may not be able to go on the next journey with you. Roselia is the band with the strongest overall strength in the girl band party, and can be your new partner. I also have a sense that another band, Poppin'Party, is also in this world. They are the band that can represent CiRCLE, and I can look for them if I have the chance in the future. Don't be sad for me, CiRCLE is my ability, and it is also the place where I have devoted my life. I accept its strengths and weaknesses."

"After the failure of the band, I realized my own limits. I may not have the talent to perform, but I don't want to give up music. So I became the leader of CiRCLE. The band girls who come and go in the livehouse carry my failed dreams, and those who pursue their dreams are my light."

"Thank you for allowing me to protect this light."

Tears fell on the handwriting and seeped into it. In order not to defile Marina's last words, Kita carefully folded the letter and solemnly stuffed it back into the envelope.

The second and third letters were addressed to Roselia and Poppin'Party.

The last was a hastily written note.

"I finally realized something. Look underground. I left a final gift for you, Roselia, and Poppin' Party. It shouldn't be found."

Marina stood up and moved a few bricks, revealing a passage supported by collapsed pillars that could accommodate one person. Shizi walked in, and after a while, the four saw her move out fifteen golden balls the size of eggs.

The funerals of Marina and Araki will begin three days later.

A clearing was made in the middle of the ruins of the original CiRCLE, and two simple tombstones were erected. The tombstones looked rough because they were not made directly by Shiko, but were carved out by hand by the five people who found a suitable rock. Marina's urn was also handmade. Araki had no body, so they could only find the items she left behind and build a cenotaph.

Marina was buried with her guitar and the stone sculpture that the band gave her. Shiko came out of the underground passage again. Without wiping the lime off her face, she put a stack of photos next to the guitar and the stone sculpture. These were photos of Marina and the other girls in the band, including the one she took with them.

She stepped back, with two artificial flowers in her hand, and placed them in front of the two tombstones.

"There are no real flowers here, so we'll have to make do with fake ones." She approached the tomb of Xinmu, "Originally I wanted to do it the way my hometown does it, using bombs as firecrackers and burning some paper money, but now I think it's better to do what you're familiar with. But I think you wouldn't mind a little noise, so if you like firecrackers, remember to send me a dream and I'll make it up."

She walked closer to Marina's grave and said, "I will take revenge. I will. No matter what I become, crazy, missing arms and legs, or even dead, it doesn't matter."

Her eyes were dark: "I will take revenge."

She stepped back. Liang came up next. She put down two sets of clothes, which she had cut herself after asking Shizi for the fabric.

The next one was Kita, who presented several boxes of paper cosmetics.

"Ms. Marina said before that she likes these ones. I don't know what Ms. Araki likes, so I'll just give her the same one."

The fire was lit and the ashes flew into the sky.

Hongxia brought a lot of things. She put down a cardboard box filled with biscuits and other delicious snacks that were easy to preserve.

"We dug out a few generators from the warehouse, and the oven in the kitchen is still usable, so I baked some more. We probably won't have a chance to come back in the future, so I brought some more snacks with me."

Finally, Yili stepped forward.

"I have nothing to give." She picked up her guitar and was about to play a song, with lyrics and music written entirely by herself. This was not something that would appear at an ordinary funeral, and she had never composed music before. But this was the only thing she could do.

Two tombstones stood solemnly in front of him. Yili seemed to see two people standing in front of him, just like the first live performance. As if something was about to rush to his eyes again, Yili raised his hand and started!

The sad song sounded, and Yili used all her skills, and then she opened her mouth and began to sing. At the beginning, it was obvious that she was nervous, but she still sang, trying hard to sing well. Her sorrow seeped out from the strings and from her singing, mixed with tears, and sprinkled in front of the two rough tombstones.

The last strum. The string broke. Ichiri said nothing, and with a flick of her hand, she restored the string. She stepped back and stood between the five people who had already taken their positions. Shizi sat at the keyboard, Hongxia sat at the drums, Liang carried the bass, Ichiri carried the guitar, and Kita carried the guitar and adjusted the microphone.

Kita inhales and exhales, taking slightly longer than before.

"This song was restored by Mr. Wu. It is our 'original' song."

"'The Past Returns'!"

The memories of CiRCLE have always been around the five people, accompanying them as they grow up.

and so--

"This song was written and composed by Wu, and the five of us performed it together."

"Please listen to "Light of Ether"!"

Both Marina and Araki sacrificed themselves for the sake of protection. They are just like the dark space. The starry sky is bright at night, but it is the deep night as the background that makes the starlight appear so gorgeous!

So, they want to become stars! The brightest stars! The five of them shed tears, played music, and sang. Become stars, and then send this message to where they are!

When the world became quiet again, the sun was about to set, half of the sky was already red, and the first star had appeared.

Everyone took out a light ball. The four people who finished the band stuffed it into their bodies. Without any fancy special effects, they saw the changes on their panels: the [Shine] column permanently increased by 20, which was the most valuable item among all the bonuses of CiRCLE before.

Shizi looked at the ball of light in her hand. Just like other bonuses of CiRCLE, it can only be used to its maximum effect if you officially become a band girl.

On the first night when Ms. Araki arrived, she said to Shizi, "I don't know why you have such difficulties, but you will not regret joining the band."

Looking at the paper in her hand, Shizi confirmed that everything was fine and walked into the Starry lounge. Everyone called her over. Yili discovered that she could play the keyboard by chance and recommended her to join the Ending Band. Of course, she had no objection. As a die-hard fan of the Ending Band, she dreamed of doing this. In order to make it more formal, she even wrote an application.

She handed over the application form in her hand, which emitted a faint light.

"Please...accept me as the new member of the Ending Band!"

(End of Volume 1)

ps: I will post the summary and comments at the end of the paper later

End of Volume 1 Remarks and Conclusion

First of all, I would like to thank all the readers who have read my novel so far, and those who voted for me, such as Zhiai, Shuke 37877538688, цветной霞, ?爱莉希雅~, Shuke 17569241181, 日常滑水, 与君共扫落叶, 天空油鱼, Shuke 790703, 单推cdd也d, and especially Bukharin, who voted for the only monthly ticket I have received so far. You are willing to click on my new work and vote. Although many people may no longer read this book, I am really grateful! (It would be even better if you could post more comments qwq)

Regarding this book, I actually wanted to write it like "A Weird Immortal" at the beginning, with two worlds developing in parallel, but considering that I don’t have that ability now, I finally revised it again and again and changed it to what it is now (in fact, the first volume is still not finished...), but the characters appearing in each volume and the final ending have been decided. When this volume was published, the number of words in the manuscript has reached nearly 33, and the third volume is already in the final stage. I can now type 4000 words a day, which is about the same speed as the update. You can rest assured to follow it, it will not be abandoned.

And it will definitely be a happy ending, he, don't worry.

And don't worry, I won't randomly stab the original characters in the future.

During the publishing process, I noticed that many readers seemed to care whether this was a pure lesbian or a modified lesbian. To be honest, my initial idea was to deliberately blur the gender of Shizi's previous life to expand the audience, but now it seems that this is not possible, so after reconsidering, I decided to set Shizi's previous life as a female, a pure lesbian. So when mentioning Shizi's previous life in Chapter 27, the personal pronoun used was also "she".

It is obvious that Shizi is Yili's CP, but how can a cdd idol otaku poison only one person? After that, Shizi will have some ambiguous relationships with other people, and the relationships between other people are also similar to the chaotic mode of Bangbang, but there are also a few CPs that are locked very tightly.

Regarding the name of Wu Shizi, "Wu" is a play on the "Mr. Wu" of Pochi-chan, and "Shizi", after reading the 27th chapter, some people may guess that it is derived from the "Nai" in "Ohba Nana", and then the "Zi" is added.

Of course, my neta in this volume is more than that. For example, Kita's nickname Pico comes from the game "Kirakira Huanghuang Stage", and Shizi's ability name comes from the song "Close my eyes and touch the boundary of fantasy". (No one complained at all, so sad qwq)

The title of the first volume comes from the lyrics of "Towards the Light", "a moment of brilliance", which refers to the good times at the beginning of the story when Shizi and the Ending Band are under the protection of adults. After that, they have to struggle to survive on their own.

As for the plot structure of the whole volume... Looking back, it was indeed full of naivety, with a hammer here and a stick there, but the main goal was determined, the plot direction of surviving in the wilderness while forming a band was also determined, and it also laid the foundation for the future twisted yuri plot. From this aspect, the first volume at least completed the basic task, right...

The daily plot in the early stage is relatively lighthearted and lively, which is in sharp contrast to the heavy tone at the end. I also deleted one chapter of daily life and one chapter of setting episodes to make the plot smoother and more readable.

In many aspects of this volume, I learned from many excellent works in the past. For example, in the three-chapter super expansion, I learned from Yi Shi Zhi Zun and Shao Ge, but it turned out to be a bit of a failure. The success of these two works is based on the high quality after the super expansion. When I wrote the first volume, although I wanted to write, I did not write a chapter with exciting enough content immediately after the super expansion. Instead, I slowly wrote a daily life and an ordinary battle. After a long period of preparation, I started to detonate the plot. Although I like this slow-paced writing style, it doesn’t seem to be very popular. What do you think?

In the following chapters, I will continue to write in this way, imitating those excellent works, which may be animation, galgame, or online literature. However, in the process of imitation, I will also hone my abilities step by step and finally find my own writing style.

I have scheduled six volumes of this book, and I don't rule out the possibility of more volumes in the future. The title of each volume will be the lyrics of the new band, and will be in line with the theme of that volume as much as possible.

The second volume, "Singing with Pain on the Back", I feel that this volume is "getting better and better", both the twisted plot and the plot arrangement are far better than the first volume. It will be released starting tomorrow, with three updates on the first day, so stay tuned.

Finally, considering that the system maintenance is estimated to take a few days to be restored, but I also want to see your evaluation of the first volume, why don’t you use recommendation votes to express it, if you are satisfied with the first volume, vote two, if you are not satisfied, vote one... Forget it, I know my calculations are a bit loud...

However, after the system maintenance is completed, can you come here to talk about your overall evaluation of the first volume?

By the way, I want to complain about my luck: I chose to publish the book on May 5.19, Sa Aya’s birthday, but that day was Sunday and the reviewers were not working, so it was not approved until May 520; I wanted to align the completion of the first volume with the release of the Lonely Rock Theatrical version, but it didn’t match up except for the deleted pictures; and then the system maintenance happened to hit the end of the volume, so I can’t comment... Oops...
