Chihaya Aine, who was sitting on a chair, was drinking her drink non-stop, and from time to time she raised her head and looked around. If she wasn't wearing Yugaoka's uniform, she would have looked like some suspicious female agent.

"I say, there's no need to be so nervous." Sakuragawa Akira, who was standing by, rested his chin on one hand and said casually, "It's not like we're going to fight anyone. We're just waiting for Li Xi and the others to arrive."

Whenever this pink-haired cat gets nervous, it will unconsciously want to drink water. In psychology, this is a typical reaction to tension.

What if I need to go to the toilet later after drinking so much water?

"Oh, but..."

The light grey eyes turned towards her, and Chihaya Aine clenched her hands slightly, revealing a somewhat uneasy expression.

This is not surprising. After all, the last communication between the band members could almost be described as "parting on bad terms". Although no one said anything in the end, a subtle crack had already appeared.

This conversation can be said to be a follow-up to the last one, which was about the band’s decision on whether or not to hold a live performance.

The little penguin sitting next to Sakuragawa Aki also lowered its head slightly, with a hesitant look on its pretty face.

From the perspective of the little penguin, he felt a little guilty because he was the one who raised objections at the beginning, which led to everyone leaving in a bad mood.

Ugh.

Sakuragawa Aki sighed quietly.

No matter what happens, she always takes the blame on herself first. I really hope that a certain lady with the initials after OB can learn from her.

Well, I have to learn how to use that keycap carefully.

At this moment, the three of them heard the very gentle and sweet voice of a girl not far away.

"Sorry for the wait~"

Sakuragawa Aki looked up and found that Nagasaki Suyomasa and Shiina Riki were walking towards them one after another.

He frowned slightly.

Did Brother Li Xi really contact Miss Su Shi in private? And from the looks of it, they probably have already thought of the excuses they will use later.

As expected, as Shiina Ritsuki pulled the chair opposite the little penguin and sat down, Nagasaki Suyo also slightly adjusted the hem of her dark green sailor uniform, and then sat next to the little penguin and Ritsuki.

Sitting in the 'main seat' right from the start undoubtedly had the meaning of declaring dominance.

Shiina Riki immediately placed his schoolbag on the chair opposite Sakuragawa Aki, and the situation became completely clear.

Only Chihaya Aine was sitting alone next to Sakuragawa Aki, at the very edge of the band, with nothing opposite her.

The death of my uncle

At times like this, it would be nice if Maomao could come and join in the numbers. Unfortunately, after @Maomao was added to the group chat, the message fell into oblivion. It was obvious that Maomao didn't see it, or maybe he saw it and wasn't interested at all.

It can be seen that unlike the happy atmosphere before, at this moment, the girls in the band began to feel a sense of rift in their hearts.

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly and looked at Miss Nagasaki Motoyo who was sitting in the main seat.

Really, this isn't a good time at all...

"Everyone, thank you for coming. I suddenly wanted to have a good chat with you today. I must have caused you a lot of trouble. I am very sorry."

Nagasaki Suyo showed a gentle smile on her face, her light blue eyes blinked slightly, and her tone was very gentle and sweet.

"No, Sushi-san..."

Chihaya Aine unconsciously touched her pink bangs and took the initiative to liven up the atmosphere.

Aine-chan keenly noticed that the atmosphere of this conversation was different from the previous ones, and there was even a bit of a 'tense' atmosphere.

"Well, thank you." Nagasaki Suyo smiled at her gently, then said seriously, "What I want to talk to you all about today is mainly about the future."

"From now on... are you referring to the previous Live?"

Chihaya Aine pursed her lips and said unconfidently.

Although Sakuragawa Aki's "future vision" can clearly tell that this pink-haired boy can indeed successfully transform under tremendous pressure, from a complete music novice to an excellent guitarist.

However, Chihaya Aine, who was in the situation at this moment, was completely unsure.

There is no doubt that she was filled with anxiety and a desire to escape because of the unfamiliarity with live performances and her own terrible guitar skills.

Therefore, Ms. Chihaya Aine was firmly opposed to the proposal of Live. How could she do such a difficult thing right from the start?

If that doesn't work, street performances are also possible. There's no need to go to a formal livehouse and perform with professional bands, right?

However, facing the girl's rising vigilance, the clever Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo simply changed the subject.

"That's not entirely true. The future actually refers to things that happen further down the road."

Her slender fingers were folded together and placed on the table. Her beautiful light blue eyes swept over everyone present. Nagasaki Suyo's sweet voice paused slightly and continued.

"...We don't even look like a team right now."

The girl with brown curly hair gradually lost her gentle smile and became serious and solemn.

"If this continues, is there really any point in forming a band?"

"……Eh?"

Takamatsu Deng raised his head and looked at Nagasaki Suyo with a blank expression. Chihaya Aine beside him also slightly widened her beautiful light gray eyes.

In this case, it is indeed a bit "heavy".

It can be said that what Nagasaki Motoyo just said fundamentally denies the legitimacy and necessity of the band's existence.

This is questioning the meaning of the band's existence and creating a serious sense of crisis.

This preemptive strike instantly hit the most vulnerable part of the little penguin's heart.

At this moment, the fact that the band is disbanding is the thing that Takamatsu Deng fears the most!

In particular, the reason why Little Penguin opposed holding a live performance before was that she was afraid that the band would suddenly disband!

Since there's no point in 'going on like this', does that mean that as long as the current situation doesn't change, the band will really disband and everyone will go their separate ways?

Sakuragawa Aki frowned slightly.

There is no doubt that Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma were defeated by Nagasaki Motoyo's superb rhetoric and were unable to resist.

Miss Su Shi took absolute control from the very beginning.

However, if the situation is allowed to continue to develop, there will be great disadvantages.

There is no doubt that this will leave a big shadow in the hearts of the girls, especially in the heart of the little penguin, and plant the idea that "the band may disband at any time."

This will increase the little penguin's inner anxiety.

If the little penguin loses his courage, then everything Sakuragawa Aki has done before will be in vain, because the band that was barely maintained by the existence of the girl Takamatsu Teru will fall apart in an instant!

"Mr. Su Shi, this statement is a bit too much."

With his dark eyes slightly lowered, Sakuragawa Aki retorted calmly.

Chapter 101: Does the self-destruction at the beginning feel a bit like déjà vu?

"I think that even if our ideas conflict or are completely opposite, everyone's original intention is to make the band better."

Slender fingers tapped the table lightly, Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes and spoke softly.

"So, no matter what difficulties we face, I believe that everyone in the band will move forward together."

His clear and calm gaze swept across Shiina Riki, across Nagasaki Suyo, and finally landed on the short-haired girl beside him who was silently looking at him.

Gao Songdeng pursed her lips slightly, her big amber eyes looked at him quietly, and her small hands gently pulled the corner of his clothes, as if she regarded him as a solid support, and his side as a safe haven that could give her peace of mind.

Sakuragawa Aki raised his head and looked at Nagasaki Suyo leisurely. Looking at those beautiful light blue eyes like crystal, he smiled slightly.

"In fact, I've heard some people who play in bands say that forming a band is like being in a relationship with multiple people at the same time."

"One another's emotions, worries, frustrations, beautiful things, and wishes...will gradually become connected, their souls will blend with each other, and the time we spend together will become increasingly sweet and unforgettable..."

This sentence was a little explicit, but before the girls around him could feel shy, Sakuragawa Aki continued speaking.

"...But after forming a band with everyone, I feel that what he said is not entirely correct."

Sakuragawa Aki's tone was very calm, but a hint of seriousness quietly emerged on his handsome face with a certain affinity.

"Rather than being lovers, I think the relationship between bandmates is actually more like family, like having many brothers and sisters with different personalities."

"Although everyone has different personalities, we accommodate each other, understand each other, and communicate our feelings..."

Sakuragawa Aki raised the corners of his mouth slightly, with a gentle smile, and spoke softly.

"Well, with such a wonderful relationship, I think I can keep it for a lifetime... I don't want to give it up."

“…Qiuqiu.”

Chihaya Aine, who was standing by, clenched her hands slightly, a glimmer of light appeared in her light grey eyes, and a very touched expression appeared on her cute little face.

It turns out that although Qiuqiu doesn't say it, he still cares about everyone in the band. Wow~

However, dating and socializing with several girls at the same time makes you a playboy!

Qiuqiu is not that kind of person!

Shiina Riki's cold expression also softened a lot. His lavender eyes drooped slightly as he looked at the petite and cute gray-haired girl not far away who had unknowingly made him feel at ease and moved.

...Sure enough, he was able to soothe Deng's inner anxiety and make everyone in the band more harmonious.

Nagasaki Suyo on the side pursed her lips slightly and rubbed them gently with her fingers. Her long, slightly curly brown hair hung down, making it impossible to see her expression.

However, feeling the warmth quietly emerging from deep in her heart, she sighed secretly.

There is no doubt that although it is a bit abrupt, in many cases, the act of "self-explosion" can ease the atmosphere, eliminate barriers, and bring people closer together.

By revealing herself in a somewhat shameful way, Sakuragawa Aki succeeded in making the atmosphere among the girls less tense, and at least they were able to communicate and interact in a calm manner.

However, unlike the other girls whose emotions had calmed down at this time, Sakuragawa Aki did not show any trace of joy in her heart.

On the contrary, he lowered his eyes and sighed secretly.

The tactic of "self-destruction" can usually only be used once. If it is used repeatedly in a conversation, then no matter how beautifully it is said, the feeling of being touched will be greatly reduced.

Ultimately, this is actually an attempt to bring people closer together through "freshness" and "empathy", which is a completely "evil way".

But at this point, the problems and disagreements among the band members had not been resolved at all.

...The next conversation will probably involve a difficult choice.

But there was no way. If he hadn't spoken up to ease the atmosphere, the atmosphere would undoubtedly have become even more sharp and cold.

However, it is not completely without gain.

After pondering for a moment, Sakuragawa Aki turned his head slightly and smiled softly at the little penguin beside him who had calmed down, putting a perfect end to this comforting moment.

I have a feeling that if this continues, Psychology will soon evolve to Level 2 on its own.

Well, the "Learning Ability LV3" provided by the drum team members also played an important role.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and then the sweet and gentle voice of a girl came to their ears.

"...Well, Qiu Jun, thank you. I am really...happy that you treat us as a close family."

Nagasaki Suyo spoke softly, looking at everyone present, and blinked her light blue eyes.

"Just like Qiu Jun said, I want to communicate well with everyone and understand each other's thoughts. Only in this way can we... avoid repeating the same mistakes."

"Besides, it's not just me, everyone actually wants to communicate well."

"Ritsuki-chan, you think so too, right?" Ms. Sushi looked at Shiina Ritsuki beside her and smiled gently.

Shiina Riki took a deep breath.

Sakuragawa Akira's words had indeed given her strength and encouragement. She felt a warmth rising from deep within her heart, and a desire to do something for him, to reap the rewards. She couldn't let his kindness go to waste...

The girl with long black hair raised her head slightly and spoke with a firm gaze.

“I want to open a Live.”

"If our band wants to keep moving forward, we need a goal. Without a common goal, everyone will just be scattered and we won't even be able to practice on a daily basis."

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head.

To be honest, when it comes to band practice, most bands are cut from the same cloth.

Before preparing for a live performance, I practice intensively, pushing the limits in the practice room every day. On weekdays, I just laze around and muddle through.
