Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"I'm not Su Shi."

"You two are alone!"

"Ahem...if you say so, then so." Tsuzuki Chihiro couldn't help but dry cough twice, then she could only smile and continued, "Also, Li Xi, don't keep talking about your speculations, as if the band is some terrible place that can drive people crazy.

Also, I didn’t come here to talk to you about this today. I just heard you and Rinrinko-senpai talking about the priority of the stage, right?

So, what are your plans?"

"...This kind of question, is it okay to just take it easy?"

Li Xi thought about it and felt that she seemed to be pushing herself too hard. Although she couldn't imagine what the day Shuang Shi mentioned would be like, as far as she was concerned...

She could only choose to remain silent.

"Forget it, let's go on stage later."

Having said that, Li Xi glanced at Su Shi. The reason why she wanted everyone to go on stage to perform later was actually because she hoped that Su Shi would be there when they started playing tomorrow.

Any time you can delay is a good thing.

"In that case, let's go record now."

Chihiro Tsuzuki nodded. She didn't care about it. It didn't matter who went first or last. But when she stood up, she thought of something and stopped.

"Lixi, do me a favor."

"what happened again?"

"Let's go to a separate studio."

"...What about the lights?"

"If they knew I was here, but I wasn't practicing with them, but was recording alone, they probably wouldn't be able to concentrate on practicing today, right?"

"But……"

"Later, just tell them I'm sick. I took some time to record this at home so they won't find out the truth anytime soon. As for next week... I'll find a way."

"Ok."

Although he said so, and successfully found a separate recording studio, when Li Xi was operating the equipment to record, he found something wrong.

In fact, in her memory, Su Shi’s bass playing ability has always been very good, otherwise Xiangzi would not have brought Su Shi into the team.

Although Li Xi was very reluctant to admit it at the time, among all the crychic people, he was the only one who was invited by Xiangzi because of his sister.

But today's "happy world" is quite different from any other world in my memory.

Even though Su Shi did make a lot of low-level mistakes when he came here last time, there were some "off-field factors" involved. Shuang Shi's psychological quality was obviously different, so there was only one reason for such recording mistakes.

Nagasaki Soyo...actually I haven't been exposed to bass for very long.

In other words, Shuangshi's existence itself is to give Sushi some comfort, so he probably just started learning bass.

But it was obvious that Li Xi could feel the talent in Shuangshi. Even though there were many wrong notes during the recording process, he was able to correct them quickly.

Unlike a certain pink-haired guy, whose defense was broken after a few mistakes.

If only... the Shuangshi world was the real Sushi world...

No, no, this idea is too scary!

Li Xi took a half step back. Realizing how horrible her thoughts were, she almost wanted to slap herself in the face.

Using a derived personality to replace the main personality is an extremely dangerous idea and a topic that should not be touched at all.

If the real Su Shi knew that she had been optimized like this, what would she think?

But the problem is, if Shuangshi disappears...

Li Xi didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only close her eyes and pretend that this would never happen.

"It should be fine..."

"Ah...it seems so."

Although the recording process of Bitianbanzou's bass part was indeed bumpy at the beginning, the smoothness of the later process exceeded Lixi's expectations.

However, the girl did not express any further thoughts on this. She just looked at Shuangshi who put down the bass and received the bag. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, she spoke:

"Tomorrow... I will make sure the LIVE goes smoothly. I promise you."

"Don't sound so scary."

After packing up her things, Qianxun paused, smiled, patted Lixi's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine.

See you next week then."

"Ah."

Li Xi felt that she was really clumsy with her mouth. She actually had a lot of things she wanted to say, but she couldn't say them when they came to her lips.

However, she now has a goal, although she cannot do everything in the band by herself like Xiangzi, and although she... has neither extraordinary musical talent nor the leadership of Xiangzi.

But this is a rare opportunity to start over, and she can understand what Su Shi said to her that night, and understand Su Shi's obsession with crychic.

Because... she herself had not yet completely recovered from the gloom of that rainy night.

Of course, only Li Xi herself knew these thoughts. Qianxun, who had quickly "escaped" from RiNG, now only wanted to do is to go home and have a good sleep.

But she felt a headache when she thought about having to practice the hot song written by Taoxiang in the evening.

“Why am I so busy… huh? Eh?!

Why am I back in Roppongi again? Damn it...damn muscle memory."

Chihiro Tsuzuki was thinking about tomorrow's LIVE until she got out of the car and walked downstairs of the Sushi family's building, only then she realized that she had made a mistake in the location of her home.

But just when Chihiro was about to turn around and walk towards the subway exit she had just come from, she was suddenly hugged by a woman.

“You…what are you doing?!”

"Eh?" The woman hugging Chihiro had a puzzled look on her face, then a hint of guilt flashed across her face. "Are you still blaming Mom for leaving early for work that day?"

"Huh? My mom? My mom has already..."

Qianxun, who was about to say "My mother has turned to ashes", suddenly reacted, then looked at the woman in front of her and asked in a tentative tone:

"mom?"

"Su Shi, come on, mommy will take you out for a nice dinner today~"

......

ps: I went home to have a meal tonight, which delayed me for some time, so the second update is a little late. I felt a little tired when I got home, so I will take a break today and continue tomorrow!

Chapter 106 Chihiro: Sushi, I'm sorry! (1/2)

"Eating a big meal? Ah, this..."

Chihiro Tsuzuki really didn't know how to deal with the situation. Who knew that after she went home to put on makeup at noon and met Riki in the afternoon, she would happen to meet Su Shi's mother?

Of course, this also has to do with the fact that she took the wrong path.

"Su Shi...you still won't forgive me? Even though this meal is almost a week late, there's nothing I can do."

Rina Nagasaki looked at her daughter who seemed very cold to her. She didn't think much about it. She just thought that her daughter was still angry about last Sunday.

After all, she first brought good news to people, and then suddenly left for something, turning the good thing into full of disappointment. Afterwards, she was so busy that she forgot to call her daughter to apologize.

Even Su Shi would be angry with her mother, right?

However, Rina didn't know that the two sentences she just said directly woke up Chihiro in front of her. For example, the key word "one week" immediately reminded Chihiro of Su Shi's strange behavior last Sunday night.

What if Su Shi was angry that day not just because she came home late?

After all, if it was simply because she did not fulfill her promise to go home and cook, there seemed to be no reason for Su Shi to be so angry, but if it was Su Shi's mother who returned home first that day, everything would instantly make sense.

It seems... Su Shi doesn't want to tell her some things, or rather, there is some vulnerable side of him that he doesn't want her to see.

"Mom...I haven't forgiven you."

Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't know what Su Shi would do, but she felt that the woman in front of her seemed to love her daughter very much. "How about you wait a moment... I'll go upstairs to change clothes?"

"Why change clothes? Aren't the clothes you have now good enough?"

Nagasaki Rina smiled and touched her daughter's hair. "What do you want to eat tonight? Mommy will take you there... Eh? Sushi, have you not washed your hair in a few days? Why does it feel a little dry?"

Nonsense, that's a wig, how can it feel as smooth as real hair?

No matter how good a wig is, there is a difference between it and real hair. Even if the wig is made to be real, natural and smooth, it still has the risk of breaking easily.

Besides... Chihiro doesn't change her appearance often, so there's no need to spend a lot of money on an expensive wig.

"Ah...that." Chihiro took a half step back. "Since mom said so, then okay."

I'm sorry, Su Shi, for taking away your mother and your warm family dinner... Woohoo, she really tried her best.

but……

Looking at Nagasaki's mother, who was slightly taller than herself, Chihiro seemed to have thought of some ways to make up for Su Shi.

This is the method, it is rather unethical...

Perhaps because Nagasaki Rina was afraid of being called away for company matters again, when she took Chihiro's hand and pushed her into the car, she took out her cell phone from her pocket and turned it off.

Chihiro guessed that Su Shi's mother didn't let her go upstairs to inform Zhen Su Shi just now because she was afraid that something unexpected would happen during the time when she had the chance to make it up to her daughter tonight.

The adult world is really stressful.

"Mom...where are we going?"

"Let's take you to eat some meat. You always like to eat vegetarian food, either vegetable macaroni or fruit salad. Look at you...you've become so thin from hunger."

“Am I skinny?”

Chihiro pouted, she was a little dissatisfied. She obviously had a well-proportioned figure, and her bust was the same as the real Su Shi's, which was too big to be held with one hand.

Nagasaki Rina just smiled when she heard her daughter's words. Because she was driving, she couldn't always look at the girl in the passenger seat, but she always cherished the time she spent with her daughter like this.

In fact, Rina still prefers the stage when her monthly income was just good enough. At that time, she could support her daughter and make sure she had enough food and clothing, and she didn't have so much responsibility that she had to go to the company every day.

It’s different now. As a senior employee of the company, many things fall on her shoulders.

"arrive."

The car was parked in a nearby parking lot, and Nagasaki Rina took Chihiro to a teppanyaki restaurant called "Ukai-Tei" in Ginza, Tokyo.

The interior design of this store is an aesthetic that combines tradition and modernity. This store in Ginza adopts an elegant Japanese style, with both private rooms and open dining tables, making it most suitable for private gatherings or business banquets.

Rina had been here once before when she was dining out with a client, and she quite liked the atmosphere and dining experience here.

In terms of ingredients alone, they use Japan's top-grade A5 Wagyu beef, as well as a variety of selected seafood. You can also order vegetable macaroni, which my daughter loves.

"Let's find a seat and sit down."

"Ah... this place is very expensive, right?"

"What are you talking about, Sushi~" Nagasaki Rina rubbed her "daughter's" face and said, "Today is the day for mother to compensate her daughter, and this money is nothing to mother."

"All right……"

In fact, what Chihiro was worried about was not whether Su Shi’s mother could afford to pay, but whether her wallet would be empty when she brought Su Shi here to eat in the future.

Then we had to activate the backup wallet source called "Grandma".

"Su Shi has really changed a lot..."

After the meat and vegetables were served one after another, Rina Nagasaki just watched her "daughter" eat, occasionally picking up a few skewers to eat, and spent most of the rest of the time watching her child tenderly from the side.

"Has it changed a lot?"

"Yeah, Su Shi finally likes to dress up now. Mom rubbed your face just now and touched a lot of cosmetics..."

"Ahem... Is, is that so? After all, I'm grown up now. Mom can't always look at me like a child."

Chihiro Tsuzuki had a really scary meal, but fortunately her makeup was camouflaged with two layers. Although there was indeed a layer of light pink on the surface of her skin, it would not change the contours of her entire face after washing it off.

However, those parts that change the facial contours and details are difficult to remove by simply wiping or washing the face, and can only be wiped off with special makeup remover.

After all, she had learned a lesson from her grandmother, so this time, Chihiro's disguise technique was an enhanced version 2.0.

Of course, some facial prostheses are not included. If someone deliberately tries to destroy them by pinching or digging, they will not be able to withstand the tossing.

It's just that Chihiro seems to have forgotten that Su Shi has no habit of wearing makeup at all...
