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

However, she heard Hong Xia's voice again, softer than before: "...Let me take care of you for the rest of my life..."

Liang's brain buzzed for a while.

Then, she gently hugged Hongxia's body in the most gentle way she had ever done in her life.

Hongxia's body is very petite, very hot and very fragile.

The next day, no practice.

On the third day, there was no practice.

Day 4, no practice.

No more practice needed.

Because Hongxia can no longer pick up the drumsticks.

Moreover, she can no longer use her abilities.

Shiko knocked on the door a few times, but not often. After Hongxia lost her ability, Shiko's jade slips from Hongxia also became ineffective, and the lighting on the airship was cut off. Although the jade slips copied from Kita can be used as a substitute, and Yusaki also helped to produce some luminous plants, the effect is always not as good as before. Not to mention, despite Ryo's repeated assurances, Shiko is still worried that one day Ryo will lose his ability, and now he is trying his best to find a way to replace the original engine, and there is no space.

In Yili, there are knocks on the door every day.

But Hongxia never responded. Every time she heard a knock on the door, she would just hide under the covers, and then Liang would quietly open the door and shake his head towards Yili.

Since he couldn't knock on Hongxia's door, Yili went to knock on Kita's door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

No one responded.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

"Little Kita..."

No one opened the door.

Yili leaned against the door, trying to listen to the movement inside.

Can't hear anything.

She closed her eyes, took a few steps back, and when she opened her eyes again, a guitar appeared in her hands.

The running water slowly seeped through the crack in the door and froze.

Since Kita doesn't want to open the door, just destroy it.

However, the water has just penetrated a little and cannot move forward.

The door panels have been completely sealed inside.

To achieve this, it is impossible without the help of Shizi.

The guitar disappeared from Yili's hands, and she turned around to look for Shizi.

Finally, they found it in the command room. Shiko was lying among a pile of blueprints, and Chu?, Arisaki, Rinko, Hina and others were around her, discussing opinions from time to time. Seeing Ichiri coming, Rinko carefully reminded Shiko and asked her to leave.

Shizi and Yili went out and turned back to close the door, whereupon the light suddenly dimmed and became dark.

The firelight around him illuminated Shizi's face: tired and depressed. He seemed to see dark circles under her eyes, and her hair hadn't been taken care of for a long time. Seeing Shizi like this, Yili was not sure what to say, but Shizi spoke first: "We are designing a mechanical engine. To be honest, it is almost impossible. After all, we are still students and have no reference materials. But we have to try anyway. Hinai has also been pulled over."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"Sorry..." Yili whispered. She was a little resentful of Shizi's indifference to the band's current situation, but after seeing the situation here, she was only worried.

"Are you here to ask about Kita?" Shizi asked bluntly, "She seems to be preparing something and needs absolute silence, so she asked me to seal her room. She seemed to have expected you to come looking for her."

"What is she doing?" Yili asked.

"I don't know," Shizi pretended to go back, "but there must be something."

Shizi's cold attitude finally angered Yili. She grabbed Shizi's wrist impulsively and said, "Shizi, about the band..."

Shizi turned his head, and a trace of sadness finally flashed in his emotionless eyes.

She pointed to her head. "I used the hair accessories to open my defenses, and asked Hinata to help me," she said. "If I can't hold on, we'll fall from the sky."

Yili's hand stiffened for a moment, then gently loosened.

A few days ago, when the others had just left the recording studio.

Kita was alone in the recording studio, playing a new song. She played and sang over and over again.

Once she stopped, where would she go? She was confused, so she could only keep singing.

"What a sad song." Suddenly, she heard someone's voice coming from the door.

She turned around and found Kasumi standing there, with an expression on her face that she had never seen before, and it was exactly the same as her own.

However, Kasumi held out her hand and said, "Come, listen to our live performance!"

There seemed to be stars twinkling in Kasumi's eyes.

Poppin' Party was already prepared at the bar. A drum set was pushed over on a flatbed cart, and regardless of whether Xiduo was willing or not, their live performance began immediately.

After a few songs, there were nothing but cheerful, shining and thrilling songs. However, they were not superficial at all, but full of the girls' sincere emotions. Their music seemed to have magic power, and Kita's inner anxiety was slowly soothed, and her natural optimism was activated again, and she jumped up and down on the stage.

The five people stopped only after seeing Kita finally recover.

"Ha...ha...thank you very much! This is Poppin'Party!" Finally, Kasumi bowed out with full energy. Kita, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, quickly applauded.

Kasumi jumped off the stage. "How was it? How was it?"

"Yeah! Very good!" Kita nodded repeatedly and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Yusaki stretched and said, "It's really tiring..."

"After all, we were asked to go on stage suddenly." Rimi said, wiping the sweat off her face. But even so, she didn't look like she was complaining.

Saaya rubbed her sore arm and said, "If it weren't like this, I wouldn't be Kasumi."

Kita looked at them and suddenly felt a little lonely: "If I could be like you... would it not turn out like this?"

Kasumi shook her head and looked at her seriously: "If it's Kita-chan, then it will definitely work!"

"Huh? I also...but?" Kita was still a little hesitant.

"Of course you can! Because Kita-chan is the lead singer of the band End!" Kasumi said loudly, as if she was saying something self-evident.

"Kasumi, if you don't explain clearly how will I..." Arisaki covered his forehead and was about to start complaining again.

However, Kita's eyes slowly lit up, as if some power was transmitted from Kasumi, igniting a flame.

"I understand." Kita nodded firmly.

“No way, he actually understood…” Yusaki was shocked, “Is there no normal person…”

Kita grabbed Kasumi's shoulders and said, "Toyama-senpai, please teach me how to write lyrics!"

"No problem!" Although Kasumi didn't know what Kita was going to do, she agreed anyway!

Another voice came from behind: "I don't know, do you need me to teach you how to compose music?"

Kita turned around and saw Yukina standing there.

"She's been there since the beginning halfway," Satomi reminded.

Kita didn't care: "Thank you very much!"

CHU?'s voice came from the side: "There's no other way. I'll help too."

Several people turned to look at her. Duohui then remembered: "Oh, I called her."

Being the focus of attention, Chu? was a little embarrassed: "What are you doing? If there is a problem with the band, we will be in trouble too!"

However, everyone else looked at her with tender eyes.

Kita's face flushed: "Everyone... I will try my best!"

Chapter 40 The Revolution Begins

"Dingling bell~"

Lisa came over with the food cart. In the dim light of the plant fluorescence, she stopped in front of Kita's house.

A whole week has passed since Kita locked himself in.

She sighed, took out the lunch box, opened a drawer on the wall, put it in, and at the same time took out the lunch box that Kita had used in the previous meal.

At least she finished her meal, which meant that the situation inside was not too bad.

On the other hand, it was hard to say about Hongxia and Liang. During this period, Hongxia did not communicate with anyone and was completely obsessed with her life with Liang, and Liang did not dare to refuse.

I don’t know how long this situation will continue.

Lisa suddenly felt something, turned her head, and met a pair of deep blue eyes.

"Eh..." She was startled and almost knocked over the dining cart before she realized, "Ah... it's Yili."

Recently, Ichiri has been guarding the door of Kita's room, and even eats, drinks and sleeps here.

Lisa took out Yili's lunch box and handed it to him: "Yili, are you really not going back to your room to rest? Your room is right behind you, and Shizi and Kita will be very worried about you, right?"

Yili took the lunch box and shook his head: "No. It's okay to rest here, and...if Xiao Xiduo suddenly has something urgent, I have to wait for her here."

Lisa glanced at her and said, "Well...come on."

She left.

Lisa had advised him several times, and Ichiri's answer was always the same.

This was the second time Lisa had seen her so stubborn and determined since they met - but she was a little envious.

When Ichiri was sitting in front of Kita's door, Shiko would occasionally pass by. Shiko hadn't been back to her room much lately, and she was hiding in a secluded corner with the others every day to experiment with something.

Every time she stood in front of the door, as if she was about to say something, but with a green light flashing in her eyes, she left silently.

After several days and nights, Yili finally saw the change.

A crack appeared on Kita's door. Yili stood up suddenly, and after sitting for a long time, she saw the crack getting bigger and bigger, and a dazzling flame burst out from it.

Golden-red cracks gradually covered the facade. Ichiri knew what Kita was going to do, so he quickly built an ice wall for himself to prevent injury.

As soon as the ice wall rose, Xiduo's gate exploded outwards, and the fragments that exploded lost their enchantment and were instantly melted by the residual flames. Yili's ice wall also sublimated instantly, and she saw Xiduo standing behind the smoke and dust, his clothes were unusually messy, but his expression was more determined than ever.

"Little Kita!" Ichiri called her again after a few days, but Kita just said to her, "Follow me," and went to Hongxia's room.

She didn't even knock on the door. She just pushed it open with force. The door hit the wall with a loud noise, which made the two people in the room look over immediately.

Liang looked a little thin, and although his clothes were neatly arranged, his body was covered with red marks, and his eyes could not hide his fatigue and fear.

Hongxia was wearing casual clothes, looking like a good wife and mother, and she was staring at Liang all the time. But when she saw Xiduo, her face changed, and when she saw Ichiri behind her, Hongxia's pupils trembled, and she was about to run away, but Xiduo didn't care, ran over a few steps, grabbed Hongxia's wrist, and dragged her outside without saying a word.

"Stop - what are you doing - let me go -" Hongxia shouted in panic, but she couldn't break free. Kitano's hands were stronger than handcuffs, and he dragged her out of the door.

Liang was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and quickly picked up the drumsticks on the bookshelf and chased after him.

Yili had already run to find Shizi.

The airship was huge, but Ichiri had a rough idea of where Shizi would appear.

When she appeared in the command room, panting, the others stopped their work tacitly and pushed Shizi, who was still confused, out.

"Eh?" Shizi was still thinking about how to optimize a structure. When someone pushed her, she almost fell down. "What happened..."

"Leave it to you, Yili." CHU? put Shizi's hand into Yili's hand. Yili was still panting, nodded to them, and immediately dragged Shizi away.

The drum set and keyboard used in the previous Poppin'Party performance were still there. Kita dragged Hongxia and pushed her onto the drum stool.

Hong Xia was still a little confused: "I already..."

Liang handed Hongxia's drumsticks to her.

At this time, Yili and Shizi came panting. Shizi was still being dragged at first, but halfway through, he took the initiative to rush forward, even surpassing Yili.

When they came, Kita waved and asked them to stand in their respective seats.

Liang had already stood up. Hongxia was still holding the drumsticks in a daze, shaking a little, and almost dropping them, but Kita had already started strumming the guitar.

Start.

Liang's heart moved. Is this the new song that they hadn't been able to practice before?
