I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

"You... keep talking. I can't give you the guitar, I can't give you the house, I can't give you the photo album... ah, I can't give you the certificate, I can't give you the furniture..."

This was the first time Lenai had been so panicked since she was ten years old.

She said a lot of things in one breath. She looked completely different from the quiet little house cat she usually was.

But, Haizuka, who saw all of this... Chitose Noshiro only found it extremely interesting.

This time, Chitose, who was pinned down, did not resist, but kissed Lenai's hand with interest for a moment.

"Show me the power of your fingers... Play a song for me! I came to Tokyo to pursue my musical dreams! If you can satisfy my appetite, I'll agree to form a band with you!"

"Woo?"

Le Na stood up in surprise. She didn't understand why Chitose Haizuka had always been talking to herself like this since she was a child.

"Hehe, I can see that! I don't know why... but you must really like me! That's why I'm so confident! If you show me your guitar, I'll let you hug me, how about that?"

Chitose also stood up and placed her finger on Lena's lips.

The movements were so light and quick that she didn't even notice when the fingertips left Lenai's lips.

Then, in front of Kaname Rakuna's incredulous gaze, Noshiro Chitose put her finger back to her own lips.

Looking at Chitose Noshiro's tender and juicy lips, Lena's heart suddenly stopped.

[What are you doing with such a magnificent face?!]

but…

Want a hug?

Once again getting closer to Chitose's face, Le Na looked again and again but helplessly found that the other person really looked exactly like Noshiro Chitose.

It's like they were carved out of the same mold.

It's impossible to refuse a request from a girl with a face like that.

"Okay... I'll give you a hug and play it, but I can't break my promise."

Lenai tried hard to make herself laugh, but found that she could no longer be calm.

The corners of her lips were trembling and tears were lingering in her eyes.

【I don't want to take my eyes off you at all.】

You are simply her.

Lenai shook her head and moved away from the bed.

She didn't blame Qiansui for wearing Qiansui's clothes. After all, they were so beautiful and so similar.

Being able to see Qiansui again will make me have no regrets in this life.

It’s a pity that you are not her.

Stairs, corridors, and stairs, reaching the first floor, Lenai picked up his guitar bag and sprinted upstairs.

"Don't let this be fake, don't let this be an illusion... Please, please, when I get back to the third floor..."

You must wait for me there, you must never abandon me again...

The black guitar that Chitose left behind as a symbol of inheritance disappeared when he was young. It was the biggest regret in Lenai's life.

And when the cherry blossoms fell again another year, in the loneliness, the "old friend" came again.

"Why are you so anxious? You're still panting. Are you afraid that I'll steal your belongings?"

Lenai returned to the third floor and heard the sound of the wild cat running freely.

The other person sat on the floor with his hands supporting the floor behind him, looking as free and casual as possible.

"No, you're just so cute."

Lena suppressed the urge to cry to her sister Chitose, took out the guitar and gently stroked the strings.

During these eight years, she trained day and night, just to wait until she went to high school or college to form her own band and pursue Chitose Noshiro's dream.

And today is the opportunity to report my work to "Chitose Noshiro"!

As tears rolled down onto the guitar, Lenai whispered:

"It's time to start. Please listen to my playing."

Then her fingers plucked the strings.

Ch367. Let's try to form a band together!

[The period from the beginning of the music to the end of the music is endowed with special rights by time.]

【At the same time, this period also determines the value of the musician.】

[Many people risk their entire lives for a short period of time... and that period of time is only a few minutes.]

Playing guitar is a simple thing.

At least, that's how it is for Kaname Lenai.

Just pluck the strings, just glance sideways to meet the audience's eyes... just hear the first note and blink.

The show is over.

This is how Lenai performed in the past.

She is fourteen years old now. In the field of music, apart from Chitose Noshiro, she has never met any other guitarist who is better than herself.

From elementary school to high school, Lenai played in various bands.

She has met countless guitarists who were called musical geniuses and musical monsters, but... they were all so boring.

Playing with them is just a way to kill time.

"I'm done playing."

It was a very simple performance, so simple that the movements of the hands were completed while the brain was still in a daze.

This is the capital that Kaname Rakuna is proud of and that allows her to pursue Chitose Noshiro.

This is her unique ability.

"call."

Another simple song, totally effortless.

I don’t know when it started, but Lenai has been satisfied with this.

She only needs to make a slight move to satisfy all the audience, and Lenai was also satisfied inadvertently.

She could no longer remember Sister Chitose's performance; it had been so long.

But she believed that she was about to or had already surpassed Noshiro Chitose.

That's interesting enough...right?

"how?"

When he put down his guitar, Lenai remembered that he still had a wildcat audience member.

She always received praise after she finished playing, and Lenai thought this time would be no exception.

[No struggle, no unhappiness, no passion...playing guitar is just that simple.]

【But it seems... not so interesting anymore. 】

But when she closed her eyes and enjoyed the relaxation after the music ended, Lenai did not receive any praise from Chitose Noshiro.

She opened her eyes uncertainly, only to see that Chitose Huizuka looked somewhat uninterested:

"Huh? Is that all?"

what?

"I thought you could play music as good as Chitose Noshiro, but it seems you're still far behind."

"Woo?"

While Kaname was stunned, Chitose snatched the guitar from her hands.

Le Na wanted to stop him but was stopped by the other party. Looking into Huizuka's red eyes with a hint of gold, she panicked for a moment.

[Isn't it recognized? How could that be?]

Obviously, it can't be wrong.

My guitar will never lie...

"Now, kitten, let me show you what better music is."

Jumping and spinning, the corners of Qiansui's clothes drew graceful arcs.

"Fufu, Lenai, I see who you're imitating... It's Noshiro Chitose, right?"

Kaname nodded undeniably, she was feeling anxious now.

She has always believed in her own musical path, but the appearance of Chitose Haizuka caught her off guard.

Why didn't she recognize my music?

"Let me show you what the most [Noshiro Chitose] and most interesting music is!"

Chitose Noshiro raised her eyebrows. When she came into contact with her old guitar friend whom she hadn't seen for many years, she even felt the guitar trembling.

【Do you also long to meet me again? 】

"I'm starting!"

When the wild temperament was no longer concealed, Lenai felt that Chitose Haizuka in front of him seemed like a different person.

She picked up the guitar, and the action gave Lenai a familiar feeling that made his head tremble.

"Sister Chitose!"

With her throat rolling, Kaname stared at Chitose intently.

Going to perform and listening to performance are two completely different concepts.

So, what experiences and feelings will Lenai have during this period of time that belongs to Chitose Haizuka?

The fingertips dance and the music starts.

Kaname Lenai's pupils instantly shrank to smaller than a needle tip:

"!!!"

Isn’t this the song that Chitose played during her last performance?

well…

……

"What a horrible... performance."

so interesting.

He didn't feel tired after playing, but after listening to Chitose's performance, Lenai felt cold sweats running down his face.

"So strong... Much stronger than me, the second strongest I've ever seen."

Kaname really wanted to say that she was the strongest, but she hesitated.

She recalled Noshiro Chitose.

Logically speaking, Chitose Noshiro is definitely the strongest, but she always feels that the current Haizuka is even stronger than Sister Chitose was back then.

"Is it better than anything you've ever heard?"

"..."

"No... Chitose-sister is better than you..."

Rakuna retorted stubbornly, but Noshiro Chitose didn't care.

"We're alone right now, so you won't get bullied if you tell me the truth."

"..."

The mixed feelings in my heart are beyond words, and Lenai must accept defeat with all her heart.
