People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

If Otonashi Sota was here right now, he would probably burst out laughing.

I guess this girl’s guitar skills weren’t taught by Xiduo?

The two bands he is in have two talented people, Chihaya Aine and Kita Ikuyo, which makes him unrivaled.

One can buy a bass as a guitar, and the other can only play a few chords, both are geniuses.

"Why....."

Shiina Riki sighed deeply.

She had originally thought that the next time she saw a stray cat, she would definitely make her suffer and let her know the consequences of ignoring the light.

But now it seems that not only can she not ask Lenai to do it, she also has to go along with her.

After all, there are two guitarists in their band, and this one is much worse than Pink Hair, so now they can only rely on Lenai.

"Forget it, let's continue rehearsing."

Shiina Riki looked at Chihaya Aine,

"And you, go back and practice guitar seriously. You've seen Otonashi play, right? Do you think your guitar and his are the same thing?"

"I don't expect your guitar skills to be on the same level as his, but at least you should be able to understand the sheet music and play a complete song, right?"

"Hmm...I know."

In fact, Chihaya Aine also knew that her playing might not be very good. After all, she hadn't touched the guitar for a while.

Now that Shiina Riki said this, she felt a little embarrassed.

Seeing the concerned eyes of her companions, Chihaya Aion made up her mind to practice guitar madly when she got home, and she must make Shiina Riki look at her with admiration!

Don't look down on a poor girl!

The next afternoon, at the gate of Yugaoka Girls' College.

Nagasaki Suyo, carrying her schoolbag, stood patiently near the door, looking expectantly at every figure walking out of the school.

The thought that she would soon see Xiangzi made her feel excited. Even though she attracted other people's attention because she was wearing the Yuezhisen school uniform, she didn't care at all.

Now she had only one thought in her mind, which was to see Xiangzi.

After waiting for dozens of minutes, she finally saw the blue color she had dreamed of walking out of the school.

"Xiangzi...long time no see..."

Nagasaki Suyo suppressed her excitement, walked quickly to Toyokawa Shoko, and greeted her with a smile.

"Su Shi...."

Seeing the familiar face of her former companion, Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath. If it were her old self, she would have probably turned around and left at this moment.

But after talking to Heyin Wuzoutai, her pressure was relieved, and she was no longer as tense as before. She no longer needed to hide from her former companions or cut ties with her former self.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Toyokawa Shoko knew that the other party had a lot to say to her, and she was ready to take this opportunity to make things clear to Nagasaki Suyo.

The seniors were right, running away will not solve the problem.

He has helped me so much, I can't just do nothing.

The one about to enter the battlefield is——Double Sky Knight Xiaoxiang! (Both have blue hair)

"O-Okay! I know a great coffee shop, I'll take you there right now!"

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's gentle attitude, Nagasaki Suyo's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly took Toyokawa Shoko to the coffee shop, fearing that she would change her mind.

Although she didn't know why Xiangzi's attitude had changed so much compared to before, she didn't care. As long as it was a good thing for her, it was fine.

The two soon arrived at the coffee shop that Nagasaki Suyo mentioned. After sitting down, Nagasaki Suyo enthusiastically recommended the snacks and black tea here to Toyokawa Shoko.

But after looking at the high prices on the menu, Shoko Toyokawa only ordered a cup of black tea.

After ordering the food, just as Nagasaki Suyo was organizing her words and thinking about how to start the conversation, she saw Toyokawa Shoko speak first.

"Su Shi, I'm really sorry about my withdrawal from CRYCHIC. This is all my fault."

"I was the one who invited you all here, but in the end you just left without saying anything, causing the band to fall apart. I'm really sorry."

"Eh? Xiangzi?"

Nagasaki Suyo was completely surprised by Toyokawa Shoko's sudden apology. For a moment, she didn't know what to say and could only shake her head.

"No, no, Xiangzi is not wrong! It's all our fault. If we paid more attention to Xiangzi's affairs, we would know that he was forced to do so."

"what?"

This time it was Toyokawa Shoko's turn to be surprised. She wanted to apologize to Su Shi sincerely, but why did Su Shi say that she was not wrong?

"I know. Actually, Xiangzi quit CRYCHIC because of Otonami, right? He admitted it to me."

Nagasaki Suyo grabbed Toyokawa Shoko's hand and said seriously,

"Don't worry, Xiangzi, I will definitely rescue you from Otonashi. Just wait a little longer, I will find a way!"

"Senior? Ah....it's just your misunderstanding, Sushi."

After hearing what Nagasaki Soyo said, Toyokawa Shoko remembered that Otonashi Sota had told her last time that Soyo thought she was the mastermind behind forcing her to quit the group.

Looking at Nagasaki Suyo's determined eyes, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but feel a little amused.

"Misunderstand?"

"Well, Souta-senpai didn't coerce me. Or rather, I didn't even know him when I left the group. I left the group entirely for my own personal reasons."

"No, no way? That guy is obviously very hateful..."

"Sushi, I don't want to hear you say bad things about Souta-senpai in front of me. You have no idea how good he is. And if he is really as bad as you say, do you think you can still be safe now?"

Toyokawa Shoko said in a stern tone.

"...Then why did he admit it when I said he coerced you?"

"Maybe he wanted to play a joke on you. Senior Zou Tai has a good sense of humor and likes to joke with people."

“Σ(°△°|||)︴.....”

Nagasaki Suyo was really stunned.

Otonashi Sota wasn't the bad guy who bullied Shoko? So, everything she imagined was fake?

Then she said she wanted to make a deal with Otonashi Sota, exchanging herself for Shoko... Over!

If that's the case, wouldn't my words and actions be as funny as a clown in Otonashi Sota's eyes?!

When she thought about how she had told Otonashi Sota that she wanted to be his girlfriend and even exchange her body for Shoko... Nagasaki Suyo's face turned red, and she wished she could get on a time machine and go back to that night to strangle herself to death.

"Anyway, that's it. My withdrawal from the group has nothing to do with you, seniors. It's all my own fault. I'm really sorry if it caused you any harm or trouble."

Toyokawa Shoko said sincerely.

"...Then Xiangzi, can you tell me the reason why you quit? Oh, that's right! I really want to know!"

Nagasaki Suyo didn't care about Toyokawa Shoko's apology. All she cared about was why she left and when she could come back.

"....All right."

Seeing Nagasaki Suyo's firm attitude, Toyokawa Shoko also knew that she was different from Deng. She was extremely persistent in both herself and CRYCHIC.

If I can't resolve her doubts this time, I'm afraid she will still bother me like before.

She didn't want to say it before, just because of her pitiful and ridiculous self-esteem.

She didn't want to see her former companions looking at her with sympathy or pity, or even extending a helping hand to her... these were things she couldn't accept.

But after a good chat with Otonashi Sota, she felt that her self-esteem was not that important compared to the feelings of her companions.

She also felt that she might have been thinking too much. Even if Su Shi and the others knew about her experience, it was actually no big deal. At most, everyone would just care more about her.

After all, it's impossible for them to insult me by giving me money just because they know I'm short of money, right? How could that be possible?

So Toyokawa Shoko told Nagasaki Suyo what had happened to her. Of course, she didn't tell her about her father's degeneration and the fact that he was now just drinking every day.

It is enough for the seniors to know about this matter.

Being able to tell Su Shi about her transformation from a young lady to a working young lady is already a victory for Toyokawa Shoko over her past self.

But if you still want her to talk about her father, then she will be so embarrassed that she still wants some privacy.

This isn't a singing competition; you don't have to act miserable in front of countless people to win.

But even so, after hearing the reason why Toyokawa Shoko left the group, Nagasaki Motoyo had an expression of shock and disbelief.

"How could it be... So Xiangzi, the reason you left the group was actually because of this..."

Nagasaki Motoyo thought of many reasons why Toyokawa Shoko would quit the group, but she never thought that the real reason would be so realistic.

When she thought about how Xiangzi had been working hard to earn money for the past six months, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

If she had known this earlier, she would definitely have helped Xiangzi so that she wouldn't have to work so hard and could continue to play in the band with everyone!

"I'm sorry Xiangzi, I didn't know you suffered so much..."

"It doesn't matter, I'm used to it."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, then she looked at the time.

"It's almost time. I should go to work too. Let's stop talking here, Su Shi."

"I'm truly sorry about the band incident. I didn't have enough sense and energy to make the right choice at the time, and ended up hurting you all."

"From now on, I won't hide from you anymore, but I also hope that you, Su Shi, will stop dwelling on the CRYCHIC matter and just let it remain as a memory in the past."

"Wait! Xiangzi!"

Hearing Toyokawa Shoko's words, which seemed to be a complete farewell to the past, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly felt a huge sense of panic.

It was as if if she let Xiangzi leave here, CRYCHIC would really be over.

In a panic, Nagasaki Suyo grabbed Toyokawa Shoko's hand and said almost pleadingly,

"Don't go, Xiangzi! I, I can help you!"

"If you're leaving the group and want to work part-time because you're short of money, I still have plenty of money! I can give it all to you! Everyone will help you, as long as we can still be together, we will definitely..."

"Su Shi!!"

Shoko Toyokawa's tone suddenly turned cold, and she looked at the girl in front of her with disappointment and disbelief.

She didn't expect that Nagasaki Suyo would actually dare to say such a thing!

Even if she had good intentions, even if she really wanted to help herself...she could never say such words!

Toyokawa Shoko's cold shout and disappointed look made Nagasaki Suyo shiver, and she subconsciously let go of Toyokawa Shoko's hand.

"...If you still consider me a friend, never say anything like that again."

"That's all I have to say. Goodbye."

After saying that, Toyokawa Shoko didn't look at Nagasaki Suyo again. She turned around and walked to the bar to pay for the cup of black tea she ordered, and then left the cafe.


(ps: "Toyokawa Shoko is going to unify the music industry", "Wakaba Sui is awesome", "Takamatsu Touma is actually okay", "Fuck! Who is Chihaya Aine?")

(pps: To be honest, although it's a pity that Black Monkey didn't win the annual best, but tomorrow there will be a Steam Black Monkey update, and I feel like taking a day off to play Black Monkey. I wonder if you guys mind???)

Chapter 73: Rescue of Private Nagasaki is in progress!

Nagasaki Motoyo stared blankly at Toyokawa Shoko's departing back, but could not say a word to keep her. She could only reach out her hand helplessly and bewilderedly towards the back.

Screw it screw ...

Just like last time, she ended up being unable to do anything and could only watch Xiangzi leave.

She couldn't understand why Xiangzi was so angry and even disappointed in her when she just wanted to do her best to help him.

Did she really do something wrong?

But apart from this, she really couldn't think of any other way to help Xiangzi.

Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head silently, then paid the bill and left.
