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

Page 84

"Sometimes?" Shizi didn't understand.

Rimi closed her eyes. Her demeanor suddenly changed: "Like... right now!"

She opened her eyes, stood up suddenly, and said in a completely different tone than before: "Besides, it would be more accurate to say 'habit' rather than 'like'."

"Uh... Rimi?" Shiko's hands were suspended in the air. Rimi, rice... She gradually had an idea.

Isn't this... Rimi from her early days?

Why did Rimi suddenly become like this?

She couldn't help but murmur, "Is split personality a popular personality setting these days?"

"Yeah." Ryo replied.

"But it doesn't have to happen twice in one work!" Shizi complained loudly, "Besides, Liang, why do you always speak in two words?"

"Twice?" Duohui tilted her head.

"In order to maintain my silent personality." Liang finally said more than two words.

Hong Xia's face twitched: "Why do you suddenly have to maintain it at this time..."

Shizi said to Liang expressionlessly: "Liang, search for the term 'emotional hardcore'."

Liang immediately perked up: "Emo, translated as emotional hardcore, is a subcategory of hardcore punk music. In the hardcore punk movement held in Washington, DC in the mid-1980s, it became a post-hardcore style, known at the time as emotional hardcore or emocore, pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. In the early 1990s, emo was transformed by alternative rock, indie rock and pop punk, such as Jawbreaker, Sunny Day Real Estate, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World..."

"So-so!" Arisaki exclaimed, "Like Wikipedia!"

Shizi looked at Liang with a smile: "It would have been great if I had you when I was in college..."

Liang gave a thumbs up: "My charges are twice as much as ChatGPT."

"Trickster!"

“And the supported search scope is only related to music.”

"University?" Duohui caught another strange word.

"Um..." Rimi (?) was still standing, "Can I continue the explanation?"

Shizi sat down quickly: "Please."

Rimi (?) coughed and continued in a Kansai accent, "It's not a second personality. It's just a special state. When I'm in this state, my personality will change drastically, my physical abilities will be greatly improved, and I'll also learn some ninjutsu and the like."

Shizi heaved a sigh of relief. It was good that no one else would have the same character as her.

Duohui suddenly raised her hand: "I will turn into a rabbit."

Yusaki gave her a strange look, "Why are you saying that?"

"Huh?" Duohui tilted her head. "Isn't it time for you to introduce yourself now?"

“It’s not…” Arisaki pressed down Duohui’s hand skillfully.

Hongxia and Yousaki made eye contact, and they suddenly felt a sense of mutual appreciation.

"I'm quite interested." said LAYER.

"Then..." Duohui leaned forward, "I will do it alone, secretly, and show it to you."

"Why do you say it so strangely?" Hong Xia got goose bumps all over her body.

Shiko's eyes inexplicably fell on Arisaki, which made her feel creepy: "What?"

"Isn't it Arisaki's turn to introduce herself?" she asked.

Arisaki's eyes widened: "I told you there's no such setting... Oh, forget it."

She spread out the hand that wasn't holding the bread: "Give me the soil."

Shiko blinked, and a flower pot filled with soil was placed next to Yusaki. Yusaki pointed his finger, and a green light flew out, sank into the soil, and a potted plant grew out.

"That's it. Any plant can be transformed." Arisaki turned back to eat her bread.

Shizi blinked and suddenly shouted, "ε?ρηκα!"

Chapter 16: Improvisational Concert

After dinner, Shizi took Yousaki and found an empty room.

"Mr. Wu, what are you doing?" Yousaki looked at the empty room in front of him in confusion.

"Let's do a test." Shizi snapped his fingers. "Recently, we've been troubled by the ventilation conditions on the airship. Since I'm not very good at design, it often becomes stuffy quickly when there are too many people in a certain place. But if we plant green plants everywhere on the airship, it should be much better."

Yusaki crossed his arms and said, "Huh~ But if there is no light, the intensity of photosynthesis will not be as high as respiration, so it will only have the opposite effect."

"Counteraction?" Yazi looked at Ding Zhen.

Yusaki sighed and explained, "Plants carry out photosynthesis and respiration at the same time. Photosynthesis releases oxygen, but respiration also consumes it. Green plants can only have the effect of refreshing the air when photosynthesis is strong enough."

Kasumi and Ako were both surprised: "Is that so?"

Shizi's face twitched: "What did you listen to in class before... Even if you didn't take classes, this is common sense, right?"

Arisaki looked at her sympathetically: "I didn't expect you would complain..."

Xiangcheng looked worried: "What should I do? I have to compete with plants for air..."

"Don't worry, if that really happened, the airship would have floated into outer space before that because the buoyancy was greater than the gravity..." Shizi held his forehead and said something that no one could understand, then turned around to explain, "I just want to test it. Let's stay in this room for a while, let it be filled with turbid air, and then You Saki put plants in it, and I will fill the room with artificial light at the same level as other places, then we will go out, seal the room, and come back after a while to check the situation."

"Well, that's it." Yusaki walked in, sat down, and took a corner. The other three followed in, and Shizi closed the door. Now, the room has become a closed space.

Yazi stood in the middle of the room: "Is it all right if we just wait like this?"

"Well." Shizi sat down on a soft sofa, "If you feel bored... then I declare that from now on this is a room where you cannot leave without playing the strings."

"What kind of room is that..." Although she didn't understand, Arisaki instinctively felt that something was wrong. She got up and sat on the corner of the sofa. Seeing this, Kasumi also stuck to her: "Arisaki~"

“Hey - don’t - it’s too hot -” Yousaki tried desperately to push the other away, his face flushed.

Shizi and Yazi looked at each other, nodded, and looked at the two people clinging to the corner of the sofa with a gratified smile.

While Shiko was daydreaming with a silly smile on her face, Kasumi's attention had already been diverted.

"A guitarist and lead singer..." She pointed at herself, then at others, "a drummer, a keyboard, a keyboard..."

She clapped her hands: "Come and play!"

"Huh?" Arisaki raised his head.

Yazi also suddenly realized: "If I play here, I can quickly consume oxygen!"

"But there are two keyboards here." Arisaki pointed at Shizi who was still giggling, "And where can I find the drums?"

Shizi suddenly came to his senses: "I can go get a small drum, and I can also bring two keyboards and a guitar."

"So you've been listening the whole time..." Arisaki complained, "But do I really have to play it too?"

Three pairs of eyes looked at Yousaki pitifully at the same time: "Aren't you coming?"

Arisaki was at a loss as to what to do: "Okay, okay, I'll play. I'll get the keyboard too, otherwise it's too much."

She left the room with Shiko and went to the warehouse to get the instruments. On the way, contrary to her previous reluctance, Yusaki asked about the models and quantities of the instruments in stock with great interest, and looked eager to try. Shiko watched happily, but did not point it out.

Soon, Arisaki carried a keyboard on his back and in his arms, while Shiko held a snare drum in both hands and a guitar on her back, and they set off on their return journey.

"Popipa, it's probably been a while since you last played a musical instrument, right?" Shizi struggled to control the package in his arms from slipping.

Arisaki's vision was blocked by the keyboard, so she had to tilt her head: "Yeah... until I met Hinata-san, we hadn't listened to music for a long time."

"Then you can play to your heart's content from now on." Shizi sounded genuinely happy for them.

"Well... I don't really care... Eh? What is that?"

Yousaki saw that Shizi suddenly squatted down, put down the drum, and was teasing something: "Zhizhi - come here, let me touch it~ Hey - be good, eat the carrot."

Arisaki took a step forward and saw what was in front of Shiko - a little white rabbit. She reacted and was about to speak when the rabbit suddenly stretched out and turned into a black-haired girl, who remained lying on the ground and bit off the carrot in Shiko's hand.

"Come to repay the favor!" Shizi exclaimed.

“It’s Huihui…” Yusaki reminded, “There are no natural rabbits here.”

Shizi took a closer look and said, "Oh, really." She looked a little disappointed.

"It's Pu Pu--yo." Duohui suddenly raised her head.

Arisaki and Shiko blinked together, "What?"

"It's the cry of a rabbit." Duohui said seriously, "My little Bai cries like that."

"Xiaohua... So you are here." LAYER appeared at the corner. With her physical strength, she was actually a little out of breath.

Shizi looked up and saw her, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Beth!"

"...Anyway, that's it." Shiko stood at the door of the room and introduced the two people she had brought along to Kasumi and Ako, "Everyone, we have a lead guitarist and a bassist."

"Is there really room to stand in the room..." Arisaki had a bad feeling.

The music soon began to play. Although Kasumi, Arisaki, and Tae had not played an instrument for a long time, they were only slightly unfamiliar with it. In the closed room, the six of them played one song after another.

Others came, attracted by the music.

“Is this a practice?”

Kasumi suddenly noticed an eye appearing through the crack in the door. She stopped, and the others followed. Kasumi pushed the door open with a bang: "Xiao Hua Lian?"

"Air!" Yousaki felt a twitch from behind.

Karen was leaning against the door before, and when Kasumi pushed her, she almost fell backwards. Fortunately, her excellent reaction ability allowed her to stabilize her body, and she even instinctively turned a few dance steps. She took a look inside and was immediately shocked: "Wow... There are so many people in such a small room? If you want to practice, don't you go to the recording studio?"

"It's complicated to explain..." Kasumi's eyes suddenly lit up, "Hana Ren, do you want to sing too?"

"Eh?" Hua Lian blinked, "But I don't know how to play a musical instrument?"

"Just sing!" Kasumi dragged Karen in without saying anything and slammed the door, "Okay, now we're the double lead singer!"

"Closing the door at least lets in some fresh air!" Yousaki felt a twitch on his back again.

Sang a few more songs.

"I feel a little suffocated..." Hua Lian held her head.

Shizi then said, "Oh, I forgot to mention this before, this is the effect we want." She explained the experiment they were going to do.

"So that's how it is." Hualian, Duohui and LAYER all looked as if they had suddenly understood something.

Arisaki looked at Tachibana and LAYER in disbelief: "No, you guys have been playing for so long and you didn't know... No, it seems like they never said that!"

She held her head in despair: "Could it be that I have been infected?"

"Arisaki..." Kasumi hugged Arisaki sadly, "Don't die..."

"Don't...don't stick to me!"

The door opened again, and a small whirlwind blew up.

“Air——!” Arisaki screamed.

"What's that?" Chu? stood at the door and looked at her strangely, "Oh, it's very lively here. Let's come too! PAREO!"

"Yes! PAREO!" PAREO stood behind CHU? and had a keyboard on his back without him noticing.

Even Yazi noticed something was wrong: "Can this... really stand?"

"Then let's move back a little..." Karen took the initiative. She and Kasumi made way to make enough space.

Soon, a DJ booth, a drum set, a bass guitar, two guitars, three keyboards, and two lead singers, all filled the small room with gongs and drums.

"Oh, it's so stuffy, open the door!"

"Yeah!"
