MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

"Everything is for Xiaoxiang. I miss you so much, Xiaoxiang..."

Shibuya, RAS special Live Show.

"Hello, Xianjuan-san."

Genjumaki Yui, who was already waiting at her seat, nodded to Nagasaki Suyo who had just arrived and invited her to sit next to her.

"Mr. Xianjuan, I'm sorry I don't know your preferences, so I had to bring you a bottle of Darjeeling black tea as well."

Su Shi was wearing the Yuezhisen school uniform that she had not had time to change out of after school. She was holding two bottles of Darjeeling black tea in her arms and handed one of them to Genmaki Yui.

"Thank you, Nagasaki-san."

Xian Juanwei glanced at the packaging on the surface of the beverage bottle and knew that this thing was a so-called health drink with 0 sugar and 0 calories, which was in line with his stereotype of Su Shi.

I feel...it's not as good as Assam black tea without sugar.

"I'm surprised. I didn't expect Genjutsu-san to want to discuss things in a place like this."

Su Shi showed her good social etiquette face.

"If Nagasaki-san has any ideas, we can go to a cafe or a family restaurant after the live to discuss them in detail."

At this time, most of the audience had already entered and taken their seats, and the staff on the spacious stage had already adjusted the equipment needed by the band.

Xianjuan Wei raised his hand and pointed to the RAISEASUILEN band logo displayed on the giant screen on the stage.

"The reason I asked Nagasaki-san to come here is because there are some questions that are easiest to answer when things are live like this."

Chapter 12 Aine on the left, Sushi on the right... Is this right?

"Eh? Is this a question that requires watching the live show to get the answer? Is Genmaki-san the type who likes to ask riddles?"

Su Shi teased the young man next to him. He was already very nervous at this moment, and kept trying to figure out his mental activities from his reaction.

After repeatedly asking Xiaomu for help but failing, Xianjuanwei who suddenly appeared gave her another possibility to find Xiaoxiang.

At this moment, Su Shi is like a person drifting on the vast ocean holding a lifebuoy, who suddenly finds a speedboat passing by and tries to take a ride on it to reach the other side of the world called "Toyokawa Shoko".

While the two were chatting, the entire Liveshow venue was already bustling with people and almost full of audiences. The white lights that originally illuminated the entire venue gradually turned to a low, dark yellow.

A dim but not completely dark environment always seems to give people a sense of relaxation and romance. Last time in the cafe, I was only focused on listening to the sound of the other person's string music. Now, an idea came to my mind:

Why didn’t I notice before that this girl seemed to be more beautiful than in her two-dimensional state?

Of course, Xianjuan Wei, who knew almost nothing about makeup, would naturally not notice it in the dim environment at this time - in fact, this was partly because Nagasaki Suyo spent more time on putting on light makeup than the last time they met.

In order to avoid ruining the makeup she had spent so much effort on in the morning, Su Shi even took a leave of absence from today's physical education class.

"The RAS live show is about to begin. Audience members who have not yet taken their seats are requested to go to their seats as soon as possible!"

Hearing the surround sound urging people to take their seats coming from the venue, Genmaki Yui nodded gently to Sushi, "Nagasaki-san, let's watch the live performance. I think some of my questions may be answered more deeply after witnessing the existence at the top of the girl band."

He said "Hmm" and smiled, "I'm really looking forward to what kind of questions Xianjuan-san will prepare for me."

Just now... was he looking at me seriously?

The way he looked at me seemed different from the last time in the cafe. My makeup today was not in vain, right!

Xiaoxiang, wait for me, the distance between us is getting closer!

At the same time, Ling Yi IVwu rushed to the entrance of the venue.

The MVP of the chase, Chihaya Aine, was pulling Takamatsu Deng, whose running ability was not even good enough to be at the table, in small steps, squeezing through the crowd to their seats in the front row.

"Xiao Deng, hold on to me! Luckily I made it in time and didn't miss the live show that won me the first prize, hehe~"

Aine gave an encouraging smile to the panting Deng, but at this moment the little drama in her heart was already in chaos.

"Oh no! I've never been to a large-scale live event like this before. I underestimated the waiting time and almost got late with Xiao Deng!"

"But bringing Xiao Deng along was the right decision! Everyone knows I won first prize and I get to watch the live show with Xiao Deng. The whole day's talk is about us, hehe..."

Deng, who had at most jogged over 300 meters after getting off the train, was now out of breath. If Aine hadn't been holding him, he might have collapsed to the ground.

"Here we are, third row!"

Hearing Aine’s energetic voice, which sounded as if this journey hadn’t even been a warm-up for her, Deng followed Aine and moved sideways to squeeze towards their seat in the middle of the third row.

When they finally arrived at the reserved location, the orange lights, which had been so dim that they could only barely illuminate the road, finally went out completely. The entire venue was plunged into darkness, and enthusiastic cheers rang out from all directions.

"Ha... I finally caught up!"

Aine sat down on her seat with a sense of relief, and pressed the two cold cheering sticks against her face.

In the last few seconds before the lights went out, she casually glanced at the audience in front of her. Sitting to Aine's right was a boy in sportswear, and to her right again...

Deng's pupils suddenly contracted at this moment.

This hair color, hairstyle, and that subtle temperament that is extremely rare in this age group...

Soyo, is... is it you...

The guilt she had felt towards the band and her teammates, which had been tormenting her since the breakup of crychic, suddenly surged up in her heart. She wanted to run away but found that her calves were already sore.

When her eyes fell on Aine, who was excitedly pressing the cheering stick against her face with a satisfied smile on her face, the last bit of strength she had to escape was gone.

As the huge curtain on the stage slowly opened and the lights shone on the five girls who were in their respective positions, a tsunami of cheers swept over everyone's eardrums.

However, Xian Juanwei was no longer interested in the band's response. When a unique and sweet voice reached his ears, he subconsciously turned his head away.

I'm super, Chihaya Aine!

However, Aine didn't have time to look around before sitting down, and she didn't recognize this young man whom she had only met once on the plane back to China. After sitting down, she kept observing this LiveShow venue in Tokyo, which is quite large and often hosts celebrity concerts, in the dark with curiosity.

Unlike livehouses like RiNG where the audience has to stand and listen to the music at the live show, this LiveShow venue, which is named after an opera house, provides seats for the audience and is also rich in experience in hosting various public events.

When the staff uniformly changed the cheering sticks in their hands into the cheering colors, Aine excitedly imitated the other audience members and raised the two cheering sticks high above her head and waved them continuously.

Although she didn't search for the band called RAS until she won the ticket, the enthusiastic collective atmosphere unique to large-scale public events had undoubtedly completely infected her.

Especially when the lead singer who was in the center of the band casually plucked the strings with a pick and attracted the attention of the whole audience, something that was written as "vanity" and read as "desire for attention" began to beat in Aine's heart.

This lead singer... is playing the bass. Isn't that a rare configuration in a band?

Although her guitar skills are only good enough to attract the attention of schoolmates at the music festival, Chihaya Aion is confident that she will not mistake the bass and guitar!

And Xianjuan Wei, who was sitting on her right, had fallen into a state of self-denial and doubt about life.

Isn't this wrong?

I'm sure there was no instruction to operate behind the scenes. It was simply to give some benefits to the female students. How did Chihaya Aine get picked out?

This is not the battlefield I intended!

Wait, since Aine appeared here, the person who was panting heavily beside her just now, who seemed to be running too hard... could it be Tomo Rei?

Then should I still say the lines I originally planned to use to interrogate Soyo today as planned?

Xian Juanwei weighed the options in his mind for less than a second, and then made a decision immediately.

The battle plan remains unchanged!

The general reserve force remains motionless!

Genjumaki Yui glanced to the right at Nagasaki Suyo, who seemed not to be used to such a lively atmosphere. She just held the cheering stick in front of her chest and shook it gently from side to side.

Then he glanced to the left at Chihaya Aine, who had completely blended into the environment, raised the cheering stick above her head, and began to swing her arms back and forth.

Although I hope to achieve something like this in the future, I always feel that the current situation is a bit strange...

Genmaki Yui was not prepared enough for Aine's strong luck, and it all came down to not watching enough hen cards.

Chihaya Aine is such a lucky person that she was able to win two tickets to the live performance among countless fans of the Hen Card, and she was able to bring Soyo to witness Meow Meng taking off her mask and opening her teammates' box, and causing Wakaba Mu to be tortured by Soyo at school by asking her, "Why are you forming a band? You obviously didn't want to form a band with me before"!

Chapter 13 Su Shi...sacrifices herself to save C Group?

As one of the most powerful members of the Bang Bang Girls Band, RAS has been rushing towards the professional band path from the beginning, with the consensus of "making the best music in the world". Now that the story of Bang Gaozu and his friends has progressed to the third year, its appeal and reputation are no less than those of mainstream professional bands.

As the music producer Chu Pingfang, who served as the DJ, continued to scratch the record to create a magical rhythm, the audience in the audience also began to twist their bodies as if they had eaten mushrooms.

Even though she still maintained her reserve as a student of Yuezhisen, Su Shi felt that her body seemed to be gradually getting hot in the warm atmosphere of the constant interaction and resonance between the band and the audience.

As the two warm-up songs came to an end, the RAS band began to play their famous rock songs, and the atmosphere in the venue was pushed to the first climax. Aiyin, who was sitting on the left side of Xianjuan Wei, had completely integrated into the environment, waving the cheering sticks that were dyed red and yellow by the backstage like a drum.

On the stage, the five girls' beats were in perfect sync, as if they had become one person, showing off their skills as a true professional band. There was a huge gap between them and those amateur bands who could only compete with several bands in a small livehouse for performances and divide up the ticket revenue that could barely make a living.

The band configuration of RAS is relatively unique among bangbang bands, consisting of a keyboardist, DJ, drummer, guitarist and a bassist who also serves as lead singer.

Everyone on the stage can be the core of a certain rhythm and gain their own highlight.

Even a bassist!

Su Shi looked at the five girls shining brightly on the stage, and the calm expression with a slight smile on her face could no longer be maintained. She put the cheering stick on the seat, covered her eyes with her hands and sobbed.

She recalled crychic's most shining day, when her teammates, who were awkward and nervous before the live performance, showed their best abilities on the stage. Everyone was immersed in it, as if they were waiting for the prelude one moment and welcoming the cheers of the audience the next moment.

Although there was only one song, "Spring Shadow", the whole band seemed to be reborn after the performance.

She wiped her tears and cried, "It's great, crychic is great!"

Xiao Deng said shyly: "I was so engrossed in singing that I don't remember it anymore."

Li Xi, who had pressured Xiao Deng before, excitedly hugged Xiao Deng's shoulders and said, "What's going on? You sang so well!"

Xiaoxiang also made a wish with great anticipation: "We must perform on stage again!"

If, if crychic hadn't suffered such an accident, would they have become a happy and harmonious family like the five people on the stage...

"Shigasaki-san."

The song paused, and while the DJ on the stage was communicating with the audience to stir up emotions, a male voice came to her ears and brought Su Shi back to her senses. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her cheeks and said in a low voice:

"What's wrong, Genmaki-san?"

Xianjuan Wei turned his head to look at Nagasaki Suyo. As his eyes had gradually adapted to the darkness, he could faintly see traces of tears in the corners of Suyo's eyes as she forced a smile. He also faintly heard the girl sobbing just now, but did not point it out.

"What are your hopes for the future of your band?"

"The future..."

Nagasaki Suyo was a little distracted at this moment. She had not yet completely come out of her memories and remembered the scene when Xiangzi made a wish, "From now on, we are a band, a group that plays music together and shares the same destiny." She repeated the words "fate..." with longing.

The future and destiny don't seem to be things that will easily move in the direction you expect.

Xianjuan Wei ignored Su Shi's distraction and raised a cheering stick to point at the band girls who were interacting with the audience on the stage and recovering their strength.

"Nagasaki-san, this is RAS, one of the few girl bands that can pursue a professional career. It's the shared aspiration of countless small bands formed on campus out of temporary enthusiasm and interest, and it's also one of the best outcomes for campus bands."

"They have their own appeal and a huge fan base, so they can support a live show with only one band in such an occasion. They can fill the entire live with their own lyrics and music, instead of relying on covers of other people's songs like unknown small bands in livehouses."

"Compared to those campus play bands that likely don't even last the moment they graduate, often disbanding within a few months due to internal interpersonal conflicts, established bands like these with substantial commercial revenue and a stable fan base can generally maintain themselves for at least five to ten years, unless faced with force majeure."

Su Shi whispered, "crychic isn't just a playful band. Everyone is really serious about the music..."

"I believe everyone misses crychic,"

Xianjuan Wei stared at Su Shi intently for at least ten seconds, causing the latter to ask uncomfortably, "Xianjuan-san...what are you looking at?"

"Look at how determined Nagasaki-san's eyes are."

Serious about music?

From a professional's perspective, it's hard to believe that a band can be described as "serious" before it embarks on a professional or commercial path and makes a mainstream debut.

Professionalism and commercialization are not completely the same. For example, if a certain guitar hero in the Lonely Rock Studio follows a world line in which the band disbands after several years and Pochi-chan becomes a social animal while continuing to operate the Guitar Hero account, then Pochi-chan who takes over Guangzi to supplement the family income can only be considered "commercialization."

But in the final analysis, at least one of the two must be met, professionalism and commercialism, so that people think "you are going to make a living from this", and it will be easier to believe in a band's determination to make music seriously.

"Nagasaki-kun, most campus bands only last until college or even high school graduation. After that, everyone goes their separate ways to make a living. They might still be good friends, but they rarely have the free time to rehearse together every day."

"Let's put aside the heavy talk of forming a lifelong band for now. There are two common formations for bands that can last from campus to several years after graduation. If you still want me to help you regroup, it's best to first consider which format is best for your future band."

Su Shi smoothed the hair by her ear and said seriously, "Xianjuan, please give me some advice."

Although Chihaya Aine, who was sitting on the left of Genmaki Yui, heard the conversation between the two people on her right, she was unaware of the ins and outs of the matter and simply listened to Genmaki Yui's comments on RAS and the campus band as gossip.

In comparison, Deng, who was sitting on Aine's left, was much more serious.

Although the sound reception in the noisy venue was much worse than the sound of the two people next to him, Deng was still trying hard to listen in the corner.

When Deng first realized that there were only two people between him and Su Shi, he had the urge to run away immediately.

Then he discovered that Su Shi was actually talking to the boy next to him, and the two of them did not seem to be strangers who met by chance because they happened to sit next to each other. Deng's mind immediately went blank.

Su Shi, do you have a boyfriend?
