Girls' Wishing Tree

The five people in shrine maiden costumes holding their instruments do look a bit like comedians.

"Uh...we..." Kasumi looked at the crowd and moved her lips a few times, but she couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Gao Mu realized something was wrong - she had performed well during rehearsals, so now there must be an emergency.

She immediately used her mind to open the dialog box above Kasumi Uzumaki's head and spoke to her as "Goddess".

"Kasumi, you've already performed very well at my festival. Don't worry, bring the most Kirakira music to everyone, and good results will definitely come out!"

In such a noisy environment, such clear voice came.

Kasumi's inner panic was dispelled a lot by this calm voice.

It’s God.

A warm feeling welled up in her heart. She not only wanted to help Sakura, not only to be a temporary shrine maiden for the disbanded shrine maiden club, but also to prove at the Sakura Festival that Poppin Party was a respectable girl band.

Kasumi glanced at the band's drummer, Yamabuki Saya, and the two exchanged glances.

Saaya understood that Kasumi's condition was no longer a problem.

She picked up two drumsticks and tapped them three times.

The show begins.

Zhudu Shichuan's tense face gradually relaxed as the music sounded.

She has always maintained her own standards for the girl band's performance at Space.

This standard has a certain relationship with the level of performance, but it is more about attitude.

In other words, if you don't have a passion for the stage and don't squeeze out all your potential, you won't pass her test.

At the beginning, PoppinParty's performance was very disappointing to her, but for some reason, now their efforts and brilliance have reached the performance standards of Space.

Chapter 21: Dryad, Live and Music Girl: 21, Return to the Stage

After PoppinParty finished singing two songs, there was a prolonged applause in the shrine.

The five of them gathered together and greeted everyone happily - this time, they performed at their best and achieved their dream of shining on the stage.

"PoppinParty successfully performed Live under the host's guidance. The host received 2800 shining points, a mobile phone, and a stage manifestation card."

Gao Mu also heard the system's settlement voice.

This time, she received more Shining Points than the previous two, and was also rewarded with a Stage Manifestation Card. However, she didn't have time to carefully read the description of the item she had obtained. Instead, she continued with the announcement: "Next, please welcome two members of PoppinParty, Maruyama Aya, Wakamiya Eve, and Shirasagi Chisei to perform two songs for everyone!"

"Bai Lu Qian Sheng, is she the child star who lip-synced a while ago?"

"It must be the original crew of PasPale."

Because of the incident where PasPale lip-synced in front of tens of thousands of people, their members were under a lot of pressure. Gao Mu "repeated the old trick" and took the initiative to talk to Maruyama Cai through the dialogue box.

"Xiao Cai, even with the microphone on, I still believe in your singing ability! Come on!"

The voice rang in Maruyama Aya's ears, and she walked onto the stage firmly, first bowed to Yamabuki Saya and Hanazono Tae who remained on the stage, and then bowed to the audience.

This was her first time facing the audience after the lip-syncing incident.

She bowed deeply, not standing up for a long time. Although there were tens of thousands of spectators last time and only two hundred this time, facing the audience again was definitely an important step for PasPale.

"Please enjoy our song "☆"!" When she raised her head, Maruyama Aya had put away all her gloomy emotions and illuminated the entire shrine like a little sun.

"Please tell me about this bubble-like shattered feeling. Do you know?"

Her voice came out from the full-range speakers through the microphone, and the discussion on the scene stopped instantly.

Maruyama Aya sang and danced with the microphone, showing her excellent basic skills. There was also nothing to complain about the performances of the other two PasPale members.

Shiina Maki, who had been watching the performance, was a little confused: "This scene is quite stable, why did they have to lip-sync during their debut?"

While Maruyama Cai had attracted everyone's attention, Gao Mu went to Gong Yuan Xun's side and said, "Teacher, do you want to perform next, or should I?"

"Let me do it. I finally have the chance to play the piano." Miyazono Xun smiled at Gao Mu: "Xiaoying, you are even cuter than in my dreams."

"Don't push yourself." Gao Mu grabbed Gong Yuanxun's hand: "I know your body can't handle high-intensity performances."

"I'm fine. The doctor said I need to exercise more so I can recover faster. Could you please talk to that girl and let her keyboard go to Kousei? She wants to accompany me."

Gao Mu agreed on Yousaki's behalf: "It's just borrowing the instrument, no problem. I'll go tell them later."

As soon as he finished speaking, an option popped up next to Miyazono Kaoru.

[With your help, the girl is trying to increase her daily awake time. Please select the specific guidance direction:]

[A. Show the girl a beautiful cherry blossom festival, and her wakefulness time will increase by 20 minutes every day.]

[B. Show the girl an unforgettable cherry blossom festival, and the girl's wakefulness time will increase by 40 minutes every day.]

[C. Show the girl an unforgettable cherry blossom festival, and the girl's awake time will increase by 60 minutes every day.]

Gao Muhao chose "C" without hesitation.

The reason why she dared to make this choice was because she had just received a stage vision card from the PoppinParty performance.

This card is a one-time consumable item. After using it, you can temporarily become an international master in a certain field on the stage.

She was willing to use this card in exchange for Miyazono Kaoru being able to stay awake for an extra hour every day.

Maruyama Aya finished her two songs quickly. Gao Mu went to ask Ichigaya Yusaki for the keyboard, and then began to announce: "I told everyone on the flyer that there would be a mystery guest. Now, it's time to reveal the mystery guest! Violinist Miyazono Kaoru and pianist Arima Kousei are the special guests for this performance! They are both award-winning musicians, please enjoy!"

Shiina Maki's mouth opened slightly wider - as the head of the wind band, she often participated in larger music competitions, and Arima Kousei was also a frequent winner of competitions.

Although she didn't know this Miyazono Kaoru, as long as Ma Kousei participated in the performance, it couldn't be too bad.

Miyazono Kaoru pulled her violin from its case and gently stroked the instrument, her gaze never leaving the strings. Maruyama Aya, returning to the stage after her lip-syncing scandal, had, in a sense, fallen and risen again. She, on the other hand, practically climbed out of a grave to once again pick up her beloved violin.

The blonde girl in the wheelchair stood up and assumed a playing posture. Under the blossoming cherry trees, she turned around and whispered to Arima Kousei, who was standing in front of the keyboard: "Kousei, start."

As the black and white keys collide to produce interwoven musical sounds, the bow dances nimbly on the strings, producing lively yet unconventional notes.

Compared with the combination of Miyazono Kaoru and Arima Kousei, the previous four songs were completely outdone in terms of technique. Even Chikuto Shifune's drowsy granddaughter was attracted by the sound of the violin and tilted her head slightly to enjoy the music carefully.

Kaoru Miyazono cherished this opportunity to perform, and played two pieces in a row before reluctantly bowing to everyone. The audience's enthusiasm was already aroused, and many people were shouting "Encore".

Gao Mu explained a few things for Gong Yuanxun: "Ms. Gong Yuanxun had surgery not long ago and her body is still recovering. She can't perform high-intensity music for everyone. After I finish dancing the Kagura dance, I will bring you a musical performance!"

Miyazono Xun tugged at Gao Mu's sleeve, her eyes full of worry.

She thought Gao Mu was going to play the violin. Since she had already played the violin before, Gao Mu's violin playing skills would seem even more crude with her excellent performance as an example.

So, she wanted to persuade Gao Mu to give up the idea of ​​playing.

"It's okay, just watch me perform the Kagura dance first. This is the last part of the festival."

Gao Mu picked up the Kagura bell and began to dance a blessing dance.

Her dance moves are not particularly standard, but she herself is like a treasure bestowed by God to the world.

The old priest nodded repeatedly, "Ayame, now you can rest assured. Sakura is not only able to make the shrine more popular, but she has also not lost her traditional miko skills."

Chang Pu was still a little stubborn. "Then I have to ask the authors I contacted what they think. If most of them can approve of her, then I will agree to let Grandpa give the divine society to her. After all, we still have to be a little wary of a child like her with an unknown origin—"

The old priest's tone was somewhat displeased. "I can see that she is a child with a pure heart and no bad intentions. If she is not allowed to manage the shrine, do you think you are willing to come back?"

Chang Pu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and patted his grandfather on the back. "Don't be angry, I was just saying it casually. Gao Muyingwu's performance has exceeded my expectations."

Chapter 22: Dryad, Live and Music Girl: 22, Stage Manifestation

Gao Mu's activity area under the cherry tree was not very large. She waved the Kagura bell rhythmically and walked around in circles with an elegant gait. In this small area, she managed to express the feeling of praying to the "God".

It was difficult for Gao Mu, who had only a short training period, to achieve perfection in the shrine maiden performance, but her posture and sincerity were there, and her sense of rhythm was also acceptable, so others could not find any fault with her.

Miyazono Xun also seemed very interested when watching Gao Mu dancing the Kagura dance.

But Gao Mu knew that this was not enough to make Gong Yuanxun unforgettable this festival.

After the dance ended, she did not sing the prepared song, but directly used the "Stage Vision Card".

The card in her pocket disappeared, her consciousness became hazy for a moment, and then she returned to the cherry tree, and her body began to move on its own.

She had gotten used to the psychic dream of viewing the shrine from atop the cherry blossom trees over the past ten years, but looking at herself from atop them still seemed a little strange.

"Takagi Sakura" walked up to Toyama Kasumi and said in a tone without any emotion: "Lend me your guitar."

"Oh? Okay...ok." Kasumi really cared about her guitar, but Sakura wasn't that stingy since she just asked to borrow it.

She was more surprised why Sakura seemed like a different person.

In Kasumi's sight, Sakura, carrying her guitar, walked to the center of the performance venue with a completely different pace from usual. She lengthened the strap a little bit, letting the guitar rest at her hips, and plucked the strings with her hands without using any tuning device. After each string sounded, she would gently turn the knob on the headstock.

"Absolute pitch..." someone in the audience exclaimed.

When Shiina Maki saw the appearance of "Takagi Sakura", her eyes lit up.

Having absolute pitch and being able to tune strings using absolute pitch are completely different things.

The average person's absolute pitch means they can hear the name of a note without any reference. Even piano tuners need to use a tuning fork to determine a reference pitch before tuning. However, "Takagi Sakura" can accurately hear whether the note is too high or too low, and by how much. This is a bit scary.

"Takagi Sakura"'s eyes instantly became sharp. She turned up the gain on the speaker and slid the pick across the six strings, making a buzzing sound.

Under high gain conditions, the guitar playing and hand comfort will be worse, and the requirements for string guards will be higher. Generally, only metal musicians play this way.

Before anyone could question it, a burst of powerful electric guitar sound rang out.

This song is very famous and most people have heard it, but there is really no similar adaptation of the electric guitar version in the world.

"Rock Canon".

These are very difficult pieces in terms of speed and technique, but Gao Muying plays them with ease, even taking her stage image into consideration.

A girl dressed in traditional shrine maiden costume placed the RandomStar guitar on her thighs and danced her hands quickly on the strings, playing music that ignited the whole audience. Many girls took out their mobile phones and started filming.

And Zhudu Shichuan could no longer close his mouth.

This performance is close to the human limit. Even when she was young, she could only play such a performance in the recording studio. When performing such a difficult piece on stage, she must simplify it a little and focus more on interacting with the audience.

But this young witch played it so smoothly, without any drag or mistakes, and took into account the processing of every note with high gain.

Her granddaughter Lenai was even more exaggerated, with both toes raised, and her eyes of different colors emitted the same shining light.

Kasumi Toyama was even more stunned. She had never seen Gao Muying play the guitar before and didn't expect that she could play so well.

Is this still the RandomStar in her hand?

Is it already at the level where you can even give two thumbs up to the umbrella man and ask for his autograph after the performance?

Even Miyazono Kaoru and Arima Kousei stopped chatting and watched Gao Muying's performance carefully.

"Hey, Lixi, this shouldn't be considered... tricking people into coming to watch the live show, right?" Deng touched Lixi's arm.

"Indeed... it's amazing." Li Xi2jiu0baqiyi saw this scene and stopped being stubborn.

When the song ended, there was thunderous applause from the audience, followed by waves of shouts of "Encore".

"Takagi Sakura" raised one corner of her mouth, and placed her fingers on the strings again: "The next song is "Rosary Sonata" for everyone."

This is a song by Hizaki. As a guitarist famous for his speed playing, most of his works require a lot of playing ability, and this one is no exception.

"Takagi Sakura"'s fingers fly in the high positions, like an elf dancing on cardboard. Her movements are elegant and light, but the music she plays is full of power.

Ichigaya Yusaki clenched his fists. "That's too much! He even asked me to prepare the accompaniment for two songs. This guy... is so good at guitar..."

When the song ended, the crowd cheered again and there were calls for an encore.

The smile on the old priest's face temporarily dispelled his pain: "Well, Ayame, I told you Sakura is amazing, right?"

"Indeed...it's amazing. I don't know much about music, but I think we can hold a concert like this."

"The last song." At this time, "Takagi Sakura" in the middle of the crowd raised a finger: "But before the performance begins, I need to borrow something first."

She returned the guitar to Toyama Kasumi and walked over to Miyazono Kaoru, "Kaoru, can I borrow Arima Kousei?"

Miyazono Kaoru looked at the unfamiliar "Sakura" and blushed slightly: "Ask Kousei himself."

"Then, can this keyboard player help me accompany the song "The Last Rose of Summer"?"

Kousei and Kaoru looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This is a very difficult violin piece.

Before Kousei could reply, "Takagi Sakura" returned to the performance area: "I'm going to perform a magic trick for everyone!"

She reached into her skirt and pulled out a violin in a flash.

It is the one provided by the system.

The cherry blossom patterns on the piano complement the cherry blossoms blooming on the tree, and Takagi Sakura's appearance, like a cherry blossom elf, adds a lot of color to the venue.
