I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

Chitose was sent home by Lixi, and the noise from the outside world ended.

Lixi left, his hearing aid was taken off, and the lights in the room were gone.

In just a moment, all the enthusiasm from Shiina Riki became a memory, and Noshiro Chitose was alone again.

"call…"

Sitting on the piano chair, the leather texture was comfortable, and Chitose kept recalling every little thing that Lixi brought her.

"Although... simulation is a pretty cruel thing, but Li Xi is very cute, she makes the simulation not so cruel at all."

During the years of waiting for the fruit to mature, that is, waiting to see Riki again, Chitose has tried her best to keep her daily life stable.

She only played the piano and went to school every day, and all other daily activities were completely cut off.

She had no interactions with any other classmates and was like a lone ghost in school.

She would not look at the relics left to her by her parents in this life. Those things would only make Qiansui's Tao heart unstable and make her fall into those sentimental memories.

She won't take up other hobbies because they might cause her piano skills to become rusty.

And now, after seven or eight years of silence... the net is finally closing in.

Lixi has already integrated into her life, and she can also integrate into Lixi's life. She can be closer to Lixi in the future... This is not only required by the script, but also required by Qiansui's personal feelings.

"Lixi..."

This time, it’s you again in the simulation.

It seems that everyone has at least two simulations. It is fate that I can see you again this time.

The nimble fingers slid across the black and white keys, and the piano made a series of whimpering sounds.

"These past few years have been truly lonely, but now I'll have you and the piano in my life from now on... This makes the last period of my life quite interesting."

Lixi, you say.

Should the last part of my life be two or three months, or two or three years?

At the very end, Qiansui's index finger stayed in the high pitch and the sound of the piano gradually stopped.

"It should be...longer."

The longer it is, the more it can be deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the more benefits it can bring, huh.

"You performed very well today, Zayu Lixi."

Because it had been a long time since Chitose had used the word "zayu", the pronunciation of "zayu" sounded strange at this time.

She said that the appearance of a small fry was really that of a small fry.

……

On Monday, the supporting actor, Li Xi, had a meal at Chitose's house. Chitose prepared Japanese-style fried pork cutlet and barbecued rice.

On Tuesday, to help with rehearsal, Li Xi had a meal at Chitose's house. That day, he had ginseng chicken soup with vegetable macaroni.

It was Wednesday, a day off, and Li Xi took Chitose out to eat. They had Japanese fried pork cutlet with curry, but Li Xi thought Chitose's fried pork cutlet was still the best.

Although she didn't know why.

Could it be because Chitose's cooking is more full of emotion?

Friday, Saturday, Sunday...

A week has passed in a flash, and it's Monday again.

Li Xi sticks with Chitose every day.

On school days, Chitose was in the class next door, and whenever he had time, Li Xi would visit her class. This was something Li Xi had never done before.

On her days off, Li Xi would go and play with Chitose. They would either explore the city and collect materials, or take a nap at Chitose's house and listen to music.

Even going to Ring to listen to performances. Although Chitose can't hear, Li Xi doesn't want Chitose to feel that she is not treated as a normal person.

[Huh, are we going to eat ice cream today? ]

This is what Li Xi asked after school.

She only asked this because she had just learned how to say ice cream.

After training in sign language day and night, Lixi has barely mastered this great language.

"Mmm, I'm fine... Can I pay this time?"

In fact, Qiansui was still a little embarrassed. For such a long time, it was basically Li Xi who was rushing to pay the bill.

【This is the only thing that is not allowed.】

Li Xi refused without even thinking about it.

She is willing to play the role of wallet, which is what she should do.

If you want to take on the responsibility of a thousand years of life, then you must take action.

"Excuse me, is this Shiina-san?"

"what?"

When Li Xi heard this name, she turned around impatiently.

The thing that Shiina Riki hates most in her life is when someone calls her by her last name, "Shiina".

This would make her feel that the other person was not talking about her, Li Xi, but her sister Shiina Maki.

Even if you praise her by saying "Shiina-san is so strong," she won't be happy at all.

Well…except for Chitose praising her so much.

Chitose is an exception.

Li Xi raised her head slightly and didn't recognize the girl with blue hair and twin ponytails in front of her. If the other person's tone of voice was not gentle and she didn't look like she was looking for trouble, she would have dragged Chitose away long ago.

"If you have something to say, tell me quickly. I'm busy."

"Sorry to bother you! Hello Shiina-san, my name is Toyokawa Shoko, and I'm a student at Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy..."

"To make a long story short," Li Xi squeezed Qiansui's little hand. She was glad that Qiansui would not know her impatient tone.

"Okay! I want to find Shiina-san to form a band, and I've already found the rest of the members! I wonder if Shiina..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't make a decision on this matter on my own. After all, I have a partner."

"what?"

Toyokawa Shoko didn't expect such an answer. She looked curiously at the girl who had been protected by Riki behind her. "I wonder who Shiina-san's partner is?"

"Her name is Chitose Noshiro, and I need to ask her opinion... Miss Toyokawa, could you please wait a moment?"

"Okay! Sorry to bother you."

In fact, Lixi didn't intend to agree to Xiangzi, but... she felt that this might be an opportunity, an opportunity for Chitose to get in touch with a real band.

[Xiao Sui, there's a weirdo over there who's inviting us to form a band. Are you interested?]

No matter what decision Chitose makes, Li Xi will respect it.

"Hmm, is that okay? But I want to treat you to ice cream today."

Qiansui swore that he had never spoken as much in the past few years as he had this month, and his throat was still quite uncomfortable.

[Don't worry about the ice cream, so you're interested, right?]

"Yeah! Yes! Let's go with that girl and see what a real band looks like."

[Band...I will be with you to witness it, years old.]

Li Xi held Qiansui's hand and continued to guard her.

Chitose Noshiro saw Shiina Tateki communicating with Toyokawa Shoko, but she could not hear their conversation.

During this time, she even waved to Xiangzi. Xiangzi Toyokawa in junior high school was really cute.

……

When Lixi faced the decision of [whether to let Chitose form a band], she chose yes almost without hesitation.

But one day, Shiina Riki will recall the choice Xiangzi made that afternoon again -

And her own choices.

Ch207. Are you still feeling sad?

"This is Tatsuki Shiina, the band's new drummer!"

That afternoon, Riki and Chitose were taken to Yuze Cafe by Toyokawa Shoko.

In a warm environment, girls with different hair and eye colors gathered together at the invitation of Toyokawa Shoko.

Qiansui pretended to be shy and curled up beside Li Xi. Their hands were always held together, as if they were stuck together.

"And this is Chitose Noshiro. Noshiro-san has a special body condition, so she and I are in charge of composing music for the band. She's also the band's backup keyboardist!"

She saw that these people, familiar or unfamiliar, were greeting her.

But unfortunately, Chitose can no longer hear the voices of Deng and Su Shi... and the green-haired girl who she had seen in Riki's simulation last time, Noshiro Chitose can no longer remember her voice.

Qiansui opened her mouth and said some polite words. She didn't know if these words responded to everyone correctly, but judging from everyone's reactions...it went smoothly.

Shiina Riki has been busy from the beginning. She wanted to act as a translator for Chitose but was stopped by Chitose.

"No...it's okay to wear hearing aids for a while. I haven't worn them much these past few days, so don't be afraid. Wearing them for a while won't really cause any immediate damage. We have to trust modern medicine."

After a long period of comfort, Li Xi finally regained her uneasy look.

Chitose continued to tilt his head and looked at the focus of the audience, Toyokawa Shoko.

The young lady with blue twintails seemed to glow at this moment. She treated everyone to tea today. Chitose and Riki both chose mocha coffee.

Chitose Noshiro knew that this was the ultimate way to penetrate deep into the enemy camp.

[In this simulation, I want to see the power of the memory that brought painful scars to your youth.]

[Is it possible that it could be more torturous than the script I designed?]

Chitose Noshiro is looking forward to it.

……

“Thank you again for being here.”

"I've been looking forward to meeting you all."

"From now on we are a band."

"That is, playing music together, and building a community with a shared future..."

After the speaker finished speaking, the audience expressed their opinions and the overall atmosphere was very harmonious.

But could this group of people imagine that one day in the near future... the band will be completely overturned by its founder?

And this wonderful memory of youth will become a small shadow that lingers in their hearts.

Chitose blended in naturally, although she turned on silent mode because Xiangzi had been too loud just now.

But it's not a big problem.

"Xiao Sui, do you know a lot about music?" Su Shi smiled and turned her face away.

On Chitose's left is Riki, and on her right is her good daughter and good mother Nagasaki Suyo.

"Me? It's okay... I only know a few instruments."

"Huh? It would be great if Xiao Sui could play guitar. We could have another guitarist in the band."

Guitar? Haha.

Qiansui suddenly had a very strong sense of déjà vu... It was as if she was the hermit Dragon King who pretended to be a pig and ate the tiger.

As a music expert who has been practicing guitar, bass and piano continuously for decades, Chitose Noshiro is only short of learning drums and singing so that he can form a band by himself.

"If necessary... I can try it too."

"There's no rush for this kind of thing, Xiao Sui, is there anything you want to eat? I'll order for you."

Shiina Tatsuki felt uncomfortable seeing that Noshiro Chitose was chatting with Nagasaki Suyo. She turned her head away and forcefully took over the topic with Chitose.
