Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

Nagasaki Suyo knew that not only had she suffered a devastating defeat last week, but she had also nearly lost her only remaining city again a few days ago.

But she won't do that this time.

After all, she now has a plan and is organized.

Besides, you said that asking her to do something else might not work, but if she just follows the original "past" and re-constructs according to the blueprint, how could she make mistakes?

The butterfly effect may happen again, but do you expect to solve all the problems of these problem children in the band in such a short time?

What an international joke!

First of all, there is no change on Deng and Aine's side at the moment. Deng is still nervous and afraid; even if Aine's defense has been breached once in advance, even if the matter of the British deserter has been exposed in advance, doesn't she still have another trump card?

Yes, being bad at playing the guitar is an extraordinary talent that belongs only to Chihaya Aine.

There is no need to mention Lenai, his performance is very stable.

As for the person in front of her, Riki Shiina... Haha, if Riki could change her easily excited and pressured personality, then she, Nagasaki Suyo, would not have had a conflict with the other party two days ago.

So this time, she's sure to mess up the band.

There was no me constantly mediating conflicts like in the previous life, no Xiaoxiang running to the LIVE to encourage Xiaodeng, and even Haruki Ying was put on ice...

How did she lose? How did she lose!

Even if she stayed idle the entire time and didn't develop, she could still win the MVP of this game.

"Let's go, Sushi."

"Ah good."

In fact, it was only after getting off the car that Su Shi realized that she did not bring her own Bess with her today. After all, according to the original plan, Bess must be with Chihiro.

However, this does not have much impact. As a branch of Circle, RiNG is naturally a comprehensive live house, so renting musical instruments is still very convenient.

However, while Su Shi was asking senior Rinrinko at the front desk about renting musical instruments, she was also thinking about another question.

Or rather... it should be a new strategy.

"Lixi, we only have one song at the moment, right?"

"Well, one song should be enough."

Li Xi nodded, then suddenly realized something and asked further, "Su Shi, do you mean to prepare another song? I feel... it shouldn't be necessary."

After all, even if they could get a chance to perform LIVE, they wouldn't be able to get enough time to sing two songs. After all, they can only be a substitute band at best and don't even have a proper name.

The scale of their debut LIVE was not even as good as crychic, and crychic only had one song at the time.

"Um, Rinrinko-senpai." Li Xi didn't think much about it for the time being, but decided to cooperate with Su Shi to confirm the date of the LIVE. "Can I still make a LIVE reservation now?"

"Are you guys going on stage?" Rinrinzi was obviously very happy. After all, she really liked her junior, Riki. "Let me see... Oh, yes, when do you want to perform?"

"next week?"

"Next week is too late, is this weekend okay?"

Su Shi on the side suddenly interrupted, and Li Xi was about to retort that it was impossible to be fully prepared in such a short time, but she held back the next moment.

Fortunately, fortunately, my old problem almost came back.

You can't lose your temper or make a face easily, at least... you can't do that to Su Shi.

"Su Shi, why are you so anxious..."

"I don't want to drag it out too long, and it's not like the longer you prepare, the better. Without a sense of urgency, where's the motivation?"

Yes, without a sense of urgency, how can you, a stress-monster like Shiina Riki, exert your subjective initiative?

Tsk tsk, she is worthy of being the one who has the intelligence. Su Shi feels that she has already set up the stage, just waiting for this group of people to jump into the pit, and then complete a wonderful performance under her big control.

As expected by Su Shi, Li Xi, who she thought really wanted Xiao Deng to go on stage, nodded after hesitating for a few seconds.

The plan goes through!

"If it's this week, let me see..." Rinrinko looked at the two people in front of her with some concern. She naturally didn't agree with holding a live show in such a hurry. "There is a live show this weekend, a small live show at the home of Afterglow and Poppin'Party, a total of five and a half hours.

There was actually a band that changed their minds at the last minute, if you guys want to…"

"That's it!"

Although Lixi felt a lot of pressure to perform in front of the idol group, she thought that since such an opportunity happened to come, it might be an arrangement by God.

Even fate has designed it this way, so it would be unlike her style for her to be timid.

Besides, if I still find excuses to refuse at this time, Su Shi... will probably be very disappointed, right?

But to be honest, Li Xi also felt something was wrong. After all, she had not informed the other members of the band. But when she expressed her concern, Su Shi beside her shook her head and said there was no need to worry.

Indeed...If I were to talk to Deng and Aine now, I would probably hesitate for a long time before I could make a decision.

Maybe sometimes you have to act first and ask for help later, and make the goal clear first so that everyone can get into the state.

After finalizing the LIVE time and renting a recording studio as a practice room, Li Xi asked the question with some concern.

"Su Shi, are you sure you want to prepare another song in such a short time? To be honest... today is already Wednesday, and we have to go on stage on Sunday, so we only have four afternoons plus Sunday morning.

And I might have to go for a sound check on Sunday, even though this small LIVE doesn’t require rehearsal…”

“But, I feel like if I only sing the songs I wrote, instead of letting the lamp’s inner voice sing, wouldn’t that be meaningless?

Of course, if time doesn’t allow, it’s also OK to just sing the songs written by Xiao Deng and you.”

"This……"

Li Xi felt that she didn't know what to do now. She couldn't understand what Su Shi was thinking. The two songs didn't really have anything to do with each other...

Wait, is it because of the contrast with crychic?!

The Su Shi in front of him must be the positive and optimistic version. Li Xi felt that he was right about this.

The reason why the positive form Su Shi insists so much may be that he wants to truly get out of the haze of the past. This is not only a salvation for everyone in crychic except Xiangzi, but also a kind of self-salvation!

Not only did they have to compose a song about Deng's inner thoughts without Xiangzi, but they also had to surpass the original crychic debut and achieve unprecedented new life with two different songs.

Although this is risky and bold, it is indeed the best solution that will allow everyone to move forward!

"I understand."

Li Xi nodded solemnly, "Although it is very difficult, I will definitely do my best."

Chapter 69 Sister, Let’s Go To the Tomb Sweeping (1/2)

"Lena, can I come in?"

"..."

At the door of his granddaughter's room, Tsuzuki Shifune looked worriedly at the door that was not closed tightly. He knocked on the door and then put his hand down.

She could see the girl in the house sitting on the floor, holding the old guitar in her arms.

But he just held it and didn't play it.

But this alone was enough to make Tsuzuki Shifune feel distressed. After all, she knew very well that her granddaughter really wanted to play the guitar, but the little girl had a lot of ideas in her mind, and she was the type of person who was unwilling to tell others about them.

Maybe...she should do it another way?

"Lena, let's go out and visit Chihiro's family's graves."

The so-called tomb sweeping naturally only refers to the tomb of Chihiro's parents. Chihiro's body has never been found, so the tombstone for Chihiro has never been installed. Because the family is still deceiving themselves, they think that Chihiro must have not appeared for some reason.

But what is certain is that a child like that who has no other ability to take care of himself would definitely not have a good life even if he were still alive.

Tsuzuki Shifune brought up this matter at this moment, actually because he wanted his granddaughter Lenai to take the initiative to face the difficulties in her heart.

At the same time, this opportunity can also be used to comfort and encourage Lenai to understand that she needs to continue living a good life with her sister's wishes.

However, after Tsuzuki Shichuan said this, he was met with silence.

Just when she was about to give up, Le Na suddenly put down the guitar in her hand. Although it could be seen that the girl was in a very low mood, Tsuzuki Shifune understood... Le Na agreed.

Speaking of cemeteries, the one they were going to today was actually the largest cemetery in Neon Tokyo called "Tama Cemetery".

Of course, more and more people are burying their dead in cemeteries now. On the one hand, land is in short supply and the government does not encourage it; on the other hand, the price of cemeteries is very high, and in some places you have to draw lots.

However, for the Tsuzuki family, they naturally have no shortage of money, but even if they do, it is impossible for them to get a very good position.

So in the end, we compromised and chose to use the method of joint burial and tree burial.

Tsuzuki Shisen sometimes laments that it is difficult to find a place to rest even after death. As a relatively traditional person, she cannot accept new ways of worship such as burial at sea and online cemetery worship.

It’s really scary to open your phone and use an app to visit graves remotely.

Tama Cemetery is located in Fuchu City, Tokyo, so naturally one has to take the subway first. Tsuzuki Shifune took Rakuna, who was already dressed neatly and in a good mood, out of the house, and then walked to the nearby subway exit.

It was a time when there were not so many people around, and there were very few pedestrians on some streets along the way. However, Tsuzuki Shifune's attention was always on her granddaughter, but her granddaughter was silent, and she did not say anything at this time.

It’s already good enough that I can persuade my granddaughter to come out.

Even if this happened a year ago, the situation would have been even more serious. Now Lenai is at least attending school well and interacting with people of his age, so he won't have any major psychological problems.

"Lena? Ah, milk..."

Hearing someone calling her granddaughter's name, Tsuzuki Shichuan looked in the direction of the voice. However, when she saw it, she suddenly felt an impulse that she could not control.

But the next moment she regained her composure and asked curiously:

"You are……"

"Ah, hello grandma, I'm Nagasaki Suyo."

Chihiro Tsuzuki, who had just come out of the subway exit, felt her heart almost jump out of her body. She never expected that she would meet her grandmother again so soon.

But it's actually normal when you think about it. Tokyo is so small, and her range of activities basically overlaps with Lenai's. The probability of meeting by chance is not high, but it's not low either... It's definitely not so low that it's impossible to happen.

It's just that the unfinished "Grandma" that she just blurted out and the respectful title she used now to address her friend's elders naturally had a different mentality.

"Nagasaki Suyo...ah, you're Lenna's friend, right?"

The more Tsuzuki Shifune looked at the girl in front of him, the more he liked her. Not only was she very beautiful, but she also resembled his granddaughter in every way.

But if you ask me how they are similar, Tsuzuki Shisen can only give some unconvincing points.

However, when he felt his granddaughter's surprised eyes and the sudden action of grabbing her arm, Tsuzuki Shifune seemed to understand something.

Perhaps the person in front of me is the child that Xiao Lenai described as being very similar to Chihiro?

You know what, Le Na's perspective is really no different from her own. If Le Na thinks someone looks very much like Chihiro, Tsuzuki Shifune herself would have the same feeling if she were to observe them.

And this is an intuition of the first impression. If you insist on saying whether these two people are the same person, Tsuzuki Shifune will calm down and shake his head to deny it after comparing the details.

"Le Nai, why didn't you come to RiNG?"

"..."

"Lena, I'm talking to you, don't be so rude."

Tsuzuki Shifune patted Lena's head, feeling a little helpless.

But just as she was thinking about how to resolve this misunderstanding between children, her sweet granddaughter beside her suddenly spoke.

"I'll go tomorrow, Sister Sushi."

"???"

Where did such a shameful Lenai come from?

She was looking gloomy with a little cat face just a few days ago, and now she meets the person who was mistaken for her sister's substitute for no reason, and this girl chooses to become a follower on the spot?

However, this is not the situation that Tsuzuki Shifune wants to see, because she knows very well that Rakuna is just treating the girl named Nagasaki Suyo as a substitute for Chihiro.

This is unfair to Su Shi, because he has to bear responsibilities that he should not have without knowing it.

Perhaps the other party simply regarded Lenai's behavior as friendly without any other purpose, and believed that several people playing in a band together were simply getting together for the theme of music.

Such a relationship is too fake, too easily broken, and very dangerous...

Tsuzuki Shifune looked at the person in front of her who was gently asking Le Na some questions, and Le Na was answering them cooperatively. She felt a sense of urgency in her heart.

She had to make Nagasaki Suyo understand the truth in a way that was not too direct so that Le Na would not find out, but at the same time make her realize that something was wrong.

Thinking of this, Tsuzuki Shichuan made up his mind and said to Su Shi, who looked a bit like his eldest granddaughter:

"It seems that Lenai really likes you. I rarely see this child treat others like this."

"Ah... really?" Chihiro Tsuzuki smiled a little unnaturally.
