Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Actually, I was planning to take Lenai to visit the graves today. It's getting late, Lenai...don't pester me. Your sister Sushi must have other things to do."

“…Let’s go together.”

"Eh?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki was a little surprised at what was going on with tomb sweeping, but the next moment she didn't expect that Lenai would ask her if she wanted to go.

But the problem is...her current identity doesn't seem to be suitable, right?

Chapter 70 Lixi, you are saying my words! (2/2)

The final result was that Chihiro Tsuzuki actually followed her grandmother and sister to the so-called cemetery to pay respects to the deceased.

In fact, Chihiro herself was a little confused, because she didn't expect that her grandmother would actually agree.

After all, her current relationship with Lenai wasn't particularly close anyway.

At most, he paid the bill for the girl who ran away without paying, and then in the short two days, he would hold Lenai-chan in his arms and stroke the fur on her head when she was tired of playing the guitar, just like petting a cat.

——Just like in the past.

Although she was indeed very happy to be able to take care of her sister like this again, it was a pity that some things always felt a little weird when she thought about it carefully.

She always felt that Lenai might have noticed something, but the girl just didn't say it.

As the three of them were on their way to the cemetery, Tsuzuki Chihiro was being held in the arm by Rakuna, and was being asked some questions by Tsuzuki Shifune.

But it wasn't a very difficult question to answer. For "Su Shi" who was not very familiar with her, the questions her grandmother asked were nothing more than questions about school, hobbies and some things about the band.

Chihiro naturally replaced what she had learned about Su Shi over the past few days with her own personal information and answered them one by one.

For example, she studies at Tsuki no Mori and usually joins the wind band at school, playing the bass.

As well as their band’s current goals, and everyone’s attitude after Lenai left in the past few days.

It seemed like she was asking her, but in fact, everything was about Lenai. She was no different from the grandmother in her memory who loved her granddaughter.

"arrive."

After the three entered the cemetery, they went up and down several slopes and finally arrived in front of a big tree.

This is a small hillside with beautiful scenery. Unlike a mass grave, the rows of tombstones are arranged a bit tightly, but they do look orderly.

Chihiro Tsuzuki, who had many secrets in her heart that she couldn't tell, also followed the two of them to her parents' grave.

"This is……"

As an "outsider", Chihiro Tsuzuki knew that she should say something. She couldn't act as if she knew everything, nor could she be completely indifferent to everything about Lenna.

She needed to ask some questions as a stranger, which she herself did not understand.

"Ah, this is my son and daughter-in-law. They are not the same person as Lenai's parents, but Lenai has always had a good relationship with their child. The child has always been very outstanding since he was young and is a role model in Lenai's heart."

"..."

"But a few years ago, something unfortunate happened. The three of them had an accident in the UK and left us forever."

When she said this, Tsuzuki Chihiro was stunned and didn't even notice that Lenai beside her had red eyes.

no……

Did she hear it right? How did she die?

"However, her sister's body has not been found, so her name is not listed here. However, the police have declared her dead. We couldn't accept it at first, but now we have no choice but to accept this reality.

Come to think of it, when I first saw Su Shi, I almost thought it was Chihiro who came back. No wonder Lenai is so attached to you.

The purpose of Tsuzuki Shisen saying these words was naturally to tell "Su Shi" some past events that she did not know.

She also hoped that her last hint would make the child realize that the reason why Lenai liked her was actually because she was burdened by Chihiro Tsuzuki who had passed away.

However, when he saw the girl's dilated pupils and her expression of disbelief yet suppression of emotions, Tsuzuki Shifune understood that this child must have discovered the truth.

But Chihiro Tsuzuki's next words almost made her lose her balance.

"Grandma, actually the Tsuzuki Chihiro you mentioned...is not dead. She is working as a nanny in my house now."

"……What?"

......

On the other side, in RiNG's recording studio.

The atmosphere was deadlocked, and the reason for this was naturally because Li Xi had already decided on the upcoming LIVE with Su Shi without any prior discussion.

“There’s not enough time!” Aine was the first to object, and she was the only one who objected so passionately, “There are only four days left, and even if you include Sunday, it’s only five days.

No one is ready yet. Although we already have the song "Bi Tian Ban Zou", the tempo of this song is too fast..."

"Isn't that the result of you not practicing well enough?"

well.

Su Shi couldn't help but laugh secretly.

While she felt that she was truly a sinful woman, she couldn't help but feel excited about the crossover between Riki and Aine.

"I've tried my best..." What Su Shi didn't expect was that Aine didn't get angry at all. "But we have to practice a song in such a short time and perform on stage..."

"You're wrong. It's not one song, it's two."

"..."

I'm coming.

Nagasaki Suyo, who stepped aside, tried hard to control the corners of her mouth. After all, she had to hold back from laughing now.

"Are you crazy?!" After a brief silence, Aiyin suddenly realized what Li Xi had just said. "I don't even have time for one song, so there's no way I can finish two!"

"..."

After being scolded like this, Su Shi was a little surprised that Li Xi did not lose her temper. Instead, she paused and turned to look at the lamp.

"Lights...I want to hold a LIVE."

"Eh?"

Not only was Deng stunned, but even Su Shi on the side looked at Li Xi in disbelief, as he seemed a little different.

"I... when I first heard the lamp's song, I felt like it was me. My feelings, which couldn't be expressed in words, were transformed into the lamp's song."

Wait, that's not right?

Su Shi listened to these familiar words, and she remembered that this seemed to be the response from last week when Li Xi called her out alone and responded to Xiao Deng's retreat.

But Li Xi seemed to have only said these words to her, and he had never said them to Xiao Deng in person?

“The song of the lamp made me realize that people like me also have the right to live.”

"Lixi..."

"So, I'm really happy to be back in band, and I think everyone else is, but we don't really feel like a band right now.

Is there any point in forming a band like this? When we re-formed the band, we already decided to communicate well. Now we will only drift apart..."

No?

Su Shi opened her mouth wide. Why did she feel that these words should be her lines?

What's going on with Li Xi? Is someone else here to boost his skills? Why did he suddenly decide to not only speak his mind to Xiao Deng, but also bring everyone together?

This, this is not right!

"So I want to hold a LIVE, preferably with two songs, but one song is also fine. Anyway, I think everyone should have a goal."

"But Xiao Deng already said that he doesn't want to hold a LIVE anymore, right?"

Eh? Wait a minute… Su Shi looked at the anxious Aine, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

How could she forget that there was also Aine here? Come on, Aine, everything depends on you...

Chapter 71: Su Shi: Did Li Xi also hire a power leveler?! (1/2)

"You just want to escape the guitar?"

Finally, Li Xi said this sentence, just like "before".

As soon as Li Xi said this, Ai Yin, who had been full of fighting spirit just now, was stunned and could not speak clearly.

Alas... the pink-haired creature’s fighting ability is just weak.

However, Nagasaki Suyo did not expect that Li Xi would actually say out loud in front of everyone those inner thoughts that she had not been able to tell Xiao Deng before this week, those thoughts that she thought were selfish.

What is missing here is the hesitation and the night conversation with myself on the stairwell.

And she remembered how she responded to Li Xi who was unable to speak his mind directly.

"Why can't I say important things?"

'Everyone in crychic missed each other because of this, but we don't want to repeat the same mistake.'

Nagasaki Suyo has told many lies, but she remembers that night, and she meant what she said.

But now everything seems to have slowly changed, and she has to admit... Li Xi is really very different now.

If everyone had spoken out their thoughts like this when Xiaoxiang said he wanted to leave, wouldn't anything have happened?

They can continue to form a band to sing and play together, and even if there are some difficulties, they can quickly solve them together.

“Aine, after all, you’re just pretending to be on the lamp’s side. You’re the one who doesn’t want to hold the LIVE, right?”

Su Shi was brought back to reality by Li Xi's words, and when she saw Li Xi getting angry at Ain just like in her previous life, she suddenly smiled.

It seems that Li Xi's change is only directed at the people in crychic. Facing the bad Ai Yin, her temper has not changed at all.

“What Deng is really worried about is that once the live band starts, it will be over.”

"I……"

"But what are you doing this for? I feel like you just want to avoid playing guitar and avoid practicing. And you can't even recognize the whole musical notation. Do you know how to play guitar?"

Aine's eyes widened. She felt that all her disguises were being stripped away by Riki in front of her. "Of course I can... I was on stage when I was in junior high school."

"I don't want to hear your excuses, you know? I actually didn't agree with you joining this band from the beginning."

"Um... Li Xi, can you calm down a bit too?"

Although Su Shi was happy to see the band in chaos, she didn't want Aine to be completely driven away by Riki.

It may sound contradictory, but in fact, Su Shi has only one purpose, which is that the band cannot disband now and must maintain this chaotic state until the end of the LIVE.

By then everyone will understand how unreliable this group is. After comparing it with the memories of the band they formed back then, they will immediately feel the irreplaceability of Cyrchic.

Although this did not immediately lead to everyone reuniting as crychic, it can be said that from then on, almost everyone no longer thought that forming a new band was a feasible option.

The original wife is irreplaceable, and the original cast is the best choice.

"Su Shi..." After hearing Su Shi's words, Li Xi's whole body trembled obviously.

The aggressive look on his face gradually disappeared, and a hint of regret flashed in his eyes.

What is she doing...

Lixi, Lixi, you really can't change your bad character at all. Isn't it only making the problem worse by doing this?

Looking at Su Shi who had clearly stopped him but whose eyes showed no anxiety but rather a look of relief and satisfaction, Li Xi understood...Su Shi was probably trying hard to suppress the loss and panic in her heart.

They want to maintain a false sense of unity in this way.

Li Xi took a deep breath, and this time her tone was much softer. "Aine... you always think about escaping. I don't know what other things you've done to escape before, but are you really willing to do that?"

"……Eh?"

Aiyin was stunned, Su Shi was also stunned, and Xiao Deng beside her remained calm, but there was a hint of surprise in her eyes when she looked at Li Xi.

"Um... Lixi, what do you mean?"

Aiyin was already planning to escape, her moves were all ready, and her eyes had just been glancing towards the studio door a few times, as if she was afraid of accidentally bumping into the wall while running.

But now Li Xi changed the subject, which caught her off guard.

"I admit, I really didn't want someone like you to join the band before. You had ulterior motives and were always wasting time on irrelevant issues, but... you chose to stay.

No matter which time, you stayed like a dog-skin plaster."
