People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

"I don't want to form a band anymore... It's because of me that Xiangzi left, and everyone else left..."

Gao Songdeng lowered his head and muttered incoherently.

"Xiangzi's departure has nothing to do with you."

Wakaba Mu said seriously,

"No matter what you do, Xiangzi will leave. This is a fate that none of us can stop."

"Eh?"

Gao Songdeng showed a look of surprise.

"So I'm just asking you, do you still want to form a band?"

"..."

Gao Songdeng grabbed the hem of her skirt, lowered her head and said nothing.

At this moment, her mind was in a mess, and complex emotions filled her heart, making her not know how to answer Ruoye Mu.

Want to form a band?

Of course she does.

But at the same time she was afraid.

Because she no longer wanted to go through the pain of separation again.

"If you still want to form a band, I hope you can invite Su Shi and form a new band, but Xiangzi and I will not participate."

If Ye Mu expressed her thoughts, she did not mean to force Takamatsu Deng to form a band. She just gave her a suggestion. If she really didn't want to form a band anymore, then forget it, she would find someone else.

So she also told Takamatsu Deng in advance that neither she nor Xiangzi would join their band, so as not to interfere with Takamatsu Deng's decision.

There is no need to explain why Xiangzi would not join the band, and her words simply meant that she did not want to be in a band anymore.

“New band….”

Gao Songdeng pursed her lips, raised her head, and looked directly into Ruoye Mu's eyes.

"So...will the new band also disband in the end?"

"....I have no idea."

Ruo Ye Mu shook her head. How could she possibly guess what would happen in the future?

"If it's going to disband in the end, then I don't want to be in the group anymore."

Gao Songdeng spoke word by word, and there seemed to be crystals sparkling in her eyes.

"Yeah...."

Wakaba Mu looked at Gao Songdeng. She looked at the other person's face full of pain and sadness. She seemed to be able to see the same confused and painful self in the past.

Ruo Yemu felt a little reluctant, she knew that the person Xiangzi felt most sorry for was the poor girl in front of him.

Xiangzi left the band on a rainy day, but Gao Songdeng stayed there forever.

How could she move forward and form a new band when she was so lost and in pain?

If Wakaba Mu only wanted to help Su Shi when she came here, now she also wants to help Takamatsu Deng.

But, how could she, who was so clumsy, help her?

But fortunately, Ye Mu knew that there was someone who could definitely do it.

If it's Souta, there must be no problem he can't solve.

Wakaba Mutsu has such faith in Otonashi Souta's abilities.

Alas, this is what it means to be a filial son.

So Wakaba Mutsu took out the business card from his pocket and handed it to Takamatsu Deng.

"If you still have regrets about the past and are confused about the future, go find him. He will definitely give you the answer you want. Then, you can decide whether to form a band or not."

After saying that, Ruo Yemu got up and left.

“…”

Looking at Wakaba Mu's leaving back, Gao Songdeng's gaze returned to the business card on the table, and she subconsciously picked up the business card.

"...Yorushiya...Otonashi Kanata...?"

----------

In the afternoon, Otonashi Sota went to the Starry Night Performance Hall.

The purpose of his visit this time was not just to meet Hongxia and the others, but also because Yili told him on LINE that he had found a guitarist and lead singer, and asked him to go and see if he was suitable.

To be honest, when he saw this news, Otonashi Sota thought that Goto Ichiri had been possessed by someone else.

After all, he could never have imagined that it was the socially anxious little Pochi who found the wild guitar lead singer.

So Otonashi Sota was also very curious about what kind of god could be found by Goto Ichiri.

Of course, Teacher Daxiang did not follow this time.

One reason is that he didn't go to the Fanxing Exhibition Hall for a commission. The boss can slack off at work, but Toyokawa Shoko, as an employee, cannot slack off with him.

So she still took charge of the store diligently. If a customer came, she would record the other party's information and instructions, and decide whether to accept the call after Yin Wuzoutai returned.

Secondly, it’s because I’m afraid of meeting Su Shi.

She saw the message sent to her by Hongxia and the others. Su Shi had been asking about her at the Starry Exhibition Hall yesterday. Although Hongxia and the others pretended not to know, Toyokawa Shoko felt that Su Shi would not give up so easily, so she would not go to Shimokitazawa for at least a week.

This is the oppressive feeling of Tsuki no Mori Agent.

Xiangzi: I can’t breathe.jpg.

"welcome!"

When Otonashi Sota arrived at the Starry Exhibition Hall, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a beautiful red-haired girl in a maid outfit welcoming him with a bright smile.

"Huh? Are you a waiter in this restaurant? Are you new here? Why didn't I see you last time?"

Otonashi Sou was a little surprised, because this was another super high-quality beautiful girl, and the Yangjiao power that emanated from her body at any time was a bit out of place in this underground store.

"Yes, I'm the new waiter, Kita. Handsome sir, if you want to see the band perform, you'll have to wait a while."

Kita Ikuyo greeted Oonmu Souta warmly, but soon, as she looked at Oonmu Souta carefully, she seemed to recognize him and showed a surprised expression.

"Wait, so you're Otonashi-senpai! Red Bean Paste Arigato!!!"

Without any warning, the red-haired girl bent down towards Onmusota, bowed ninety degrees, and thanked him loudly and emotionally.

(PS: Expert Nagasaki Suyo developed a method of reorganizing an orchestra based on kneeling. This innovation shocked Ms. Wakaba Mutsu, who never found playing in an orchestra fun.)


Chapter 28: The Escaped Guitarist of Shimokitazawa

"Huh? You know me? No, why are you thanking me? I don't think I've seen you before?"

Otonashi Sota looked up and down at the girl in front of him. He would never forget a beautiful girl of this quality once he had seen her.

“Well…actually…”

When Kita Ikuyo heard what Otonashi Sota said, her expression suddenly became a little embarrassed, and a blush appeared on her cute face.

She scratched her head, as if she was embarrassed to speak. At this time, Ijichi Hongka and Yamada Ryo, who were attracted by Kita Ikuyo's thanks, saw this situation and immediately smiled and helped her explain.

"Brother Souda, Kita is actually the missing guitarist we were talking about."

"To be precise, it's not that he lost contact, but that he escaped."

Yamada Ryo added some details.

“I’m so sorry!!!”

Although she had already apologized profusely, now that Yamada Ryo mentioned it, the ashamed Kita Ikuyo couldn't help but apologize again.

"Run away? Silly!"

Otonashi Sota became interested.

"To put it simply, this girl joined the band on a whim because she had a crush on me. But she doesn't actually play guitar, so she made excuses not to come to our first few rehearsals. When it came time to perform, she knew she couldn't hide it anymore, so she just ran away."

Yamada Ryo crossed his arms and explained the whole story to Otonashi Sota with a smile.

"Huh? He's attracted to you? Is this true? This kid likes the same sex?"

When Otonashi Sota looked at Kita Ikuyo, his eyes were filled with respect.

This is so rock and roll!

"No, that's not it! I just admire the handsome and cool Liang-senpai. I still like boys!"

Kita Ikuyo explained shyly and anxiously.

"I see. So she came here just to apologize?"

Yin Wuzou suddenly said,

"So she just thanked me because I helped you complete the performance, right?"

"Um... the front is a little wrong, but the back is indeed like this."

Kita Ikuyo pursed her lips and cast an admiring gaze towards Otonashi Sota.

"Hongxia-senpai showed me the video of your performance together. I admired Otonashi-senpai's playing and singing from the bottom of my heart. If it were me, I would definitely mess it up. So Otonashi-senpai was able to help me clean up this mess I left behind. I really can't thank you enough even ten thousand times!"

"So, if there's anything you want me to do, Otonashi-senpai, just ask. I'll listen to anything!"

"Oh? So you're making up for it by wearing this maid outfit and working a part-time job?"

Yin Wu played too clearly.

"Yeah, even though we told Kita-chan we didn't care, she still wanted to do something to make it up to us, so my sister let her work a day at Fanxing as a reward."

Ijichi Hongxia said helplessly.

"Then what did she mean by what she said before was wrong? Didn't she come here specifically to apologize?"

"Well, she's the lead singer that Pochi-chan brought over to join the band."

When Yamada Ryo said this, he couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth to laugh.

"...What? She's the lead singer we found in Yili?"

Otonashi Sota was stunned.

I'm so tired. Is Tokyo so small?

The escaped guitarist was finally brought back by the new member of the band. What kind of boomerang is this?

This kid named Kita has such a strong connection with the band End, right?

Otonashi Kanata felt that the plot was as if he was watching a comedy anime.

"Xiduo and I go to the same school. I heard she was a good singer, so I brought her here. I didn't expect that she was the guitarist who ran away earlier."

At this time, Goto Ichiri also came over and spoke to Otonashi Sota.

"...I can only say that this world is really small."

Otonashi Sota was a little confused, then looked at Kita Ikuyo,

"So what do you say now? Are you going to rejoin the closing band?"

"Let's not do that... After all, I've already escaped, and I don't even know how to play guitar. Besides, doesn't the band already have Otonashi-san as the lead vocalist and guitarist? Someone like me... staying would only cause trouble for everyone."

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head, her fingers subconsciously playing with the hem of her skirt, and spoke in an obviously depressed tone.

Because her tone of voice has always been positive and sunny, it is very obvious when it becomes low.

Seeing her like this, Ijichi Hongxia looked reluctant and was about to say something when she was stopped by Yamada Ryo.

"Otonashi, I leave it to you."

After stopping Ichichi Nikka, Yamada Ryo gave a look to Otonashi Sota, signaling him to go ahead and pull Kita to end the band.

As for why she stopped Ijichi Hongxia from speaking, the reason was very simple, because Hongxia was too gentle. She did not blame Kita Ikuyo, but it was precisely this gentleness that made it easier for Kita Ikuyo to feel more pressure and guilt.

Otonashi Souta: "..."

No, you're treating me like a psychologist? I specialize in talking to girls with psychological problems?
