I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

She didn't dare look at the door, but just memorized the lyrics in the green-covered notebook.

Is this the teenage version of Tomokazu Takamatsu? So sweet, so cute.

【It’s just…ah, Xiao Deng.】

You are not as lively as you were when you were little.

"Yes, Ms. Toyokawa, right?"

"Correct."

Chitose Noshiro tried her best to appear calm and collected. She still remembered her second mission here.

"I want to join your band. Could you please introduce me to your band's personnel?"

"Of course, this is what I should do."

Qiansui listened to Xiangzi introducing everyone.

There was a brown-haired bassist named Nagasaki Soyo and a green-haired autistic Wakaba Mutsu. Chitose took great pains to remember these people.

But, but the attention is still on Takamatsu Deng.

"This is our lead singer, Takamatsu Touma! Touma is really amazing!"

"Really? Then you will let her go through a very friendly adolescence."

"Huh? What?"

"It's okay... I'm just feeling a little unwell. I'm sorry Ms. Toyokawa. I'll contact you next time."

There was no reason to stay any longer, so after collecting information and visiting his sister, Chitose ran away without hesitation.

She heard Xiangzi calling from behind.

But so what?

A simulation is just a simulation, and the supporting characters in the simulation do not need to invest any emotions... Alas, Chitose, have you actually come up with such an idea?

Chitose Noshiro ran all the way to her home, but when she got there she found that she had come to a small apartment with an alcohol lamp several years later.

She walked around and around to her home in the first simulation, hesitated and wandered, dragging her tired body step by step back to the apartment in this simulation.

Her own little home is luxuriously decorated, but she is the only one who enjoys it.

On the floor was the shirt that Li Xi hadn't taken away, and the waistbands of both of them were hanging on the sofa. Chitose Noshiro was standing in front of the mirror in the bathroom.

The cold water splashed on her cheeks again and again, and Qiansui stared at the mirror for a long time.

It was like he was arguing with the person in the mirror with his eyes.

"Alas... I'll only allow myself to be depressed for one night! Noshiro Chitose! Keep pulling yourself together and take Shiina Ritsuki seriously!"

No, no! You can’t use the word “deal with”!

"Please! Noshiro Chitose, go treat Shiina Ritsuki well during this only happy time! Ritsuki still doesn't understand Shiina Ritsuki 100% during this first simulation, so it'll take some time... Chitose, you must be extra careful and attentive!"

"If you still feel guilty, then your awareness is not enough! Chitose! Stand up!"

Chitose Noshiro looked at herself in the mirror. Are her eyes still as clear as when she was a child?

"No, alas."

If only I could get to know Takamatsu Deng in reality outside of the simulation.

If she could still be my good friend for life.

She could swear on Qiansui's behalf that she would make sure that both of their lives would no longer be short, but that they would actually live to be a hundred years old!

“So, keep simulating and keep working hard!”

"System! Come out!"

"what's up."

Like a gust of wind, Qiansui looked at the girl with white hair and golden eyes who suddenly appeared in the mirror, and said in a steady and powerful tone:

"I've decided. Starting tomorrow, we'll proceed according to our original plan. This is the only way to motivate Lixi."

"Alright, host, please rest early. Otherwise, if you die suddenly, the simulation will end and the regret value you gain will be greatly reduced."

"Thank you for your concern, alas."

Chitose walked to the sofa and adjusted the TV.

She missed Kyomoto again and couldn't sleep.

Well, well, I won't owe much anyway, so I'll just keep it open until the end of the week~

Ch54. I have already repaid my debt to Chitose.

"Lixi."

"Ok?"

"what are you doing."

"Hmm...memorize the lyrics."

"Lixi, it's been a long time since you went shopping with us!"

The girl with black hair and black eyes who is talking to Shiina Riki now is her classmate.

The girl walked to Lixi's table and spoke to Lixi who was listening to music.

To be honest, Li Xi was not very familiar with her, but they were admitted from the same elementary school and were in the same wind band.

They did go out for team building together, but——

"Sorry, I'm busy."

Li Xi didn't look up. She mumbled the lyrics in her mind again and again, memorizing them silently and then thinking and digesting them over and over again.

A golden light flashed in the female classmate's eyes, but after a moment, the eyes returned to black.

It's like a pseudo-person trying hard to imitate human vocal habits and behaviors.

"I said, we are already in the second grade of junior high school..."

"Ah."

"You'll be in high school next year, Lixi-san, will you continue writing songs after you go to high school?"

"Huh? Hmm."

Li Xi straightened his back a little, but his eyes still did not leave the notebook.

"Listen to me carefully... Li Xi, Xiaoji and Miho can't open their mouths, but I still want to persuade you..."

The girl settled her thoughts and feelings:

"Isn't it time to give up on creating?"

The other person's tone didn't sound like he was joking. Li Xi stared at him, but the other person didn't care about the change in Li Xi's expression at all.

"Lixi, you don't come to the band anymore, and you don't say hello to us when you see us. Even when we have group activities together, you are just busy memorizing and writing without saying a word, and..."

This person...what on earth does she want to say?

Li Xi glanced around and found that there were quite a few classmates in the classroom, so he didn't plan to refute the other party loudly.

But, is this guy really familiar with her? He keeps nagging here.

"And what?"

"Besides, girl bands are just for fun after all. If you don't study hard and live your life as a normal student, you'll just end up being a weirdo who's not accepted."

"You might even end up not being able to find a good job and end up becoming one of those middle-aged people on TV who spends all day getting drunk."

"Don't say any more. I know what's going on."

"Okay, but ordinary people like us who don't have any talent will never be able to reach the level of your sister. You should give up the idea of ​​competing with her. After all, you are just a junior high school student."

Li Xi was silent:

"roll."

The girl with black hair and black eyes shrugged her shoulders and walked out of the house, no longer paying attention to Li Xi.

She passed Chitose at the door, and Chitose Noshiro nodded slightly to the system that was disguised as Mr. Ki.

"What's wrong, Xiao Lixi? You don't seem very happy."

Phew, the system is really reliable. It actually made Li Xi feel bad with just a few words.

"fine."

Those who say they are fine are often the ones with the most problems! Shiina Riki is indeed the kind of idiot who can't hide his worries.

Chitose ignored everything and sat directly on Riki's desk.

She faced Li Xi, spread her legs nonchalantly, and clamped her legs around Li Xi's waist.

"Are you really okay? Don't lie to me. What did she say to you?"

"Well... Anyway, you just don't think highly of me."

Li Xi knew that it was his poor lyrics and poor performance last time that had upset everyone, especially after his sister's wonderful performance.

I was so immature in front of my sister that I looked like a joke just said casually.

"Well, you'll always encounter them along the way."

"Yeah, seriously, it would be pathetic if I was defeated by just one sentence like that! I will continue to work hard."

As if holding her breath, Shiina Riki has been feeling breathless since her last performance.

It's no surprise that most people paid no attention to her performance.

A small number of people have some impression of her, which is thanks to her surname Shiina.

Only a very few people believe in her and still have high hopes for her.

Shiina Riki knows that her abilities are gradually getting stronger, but most people haven't noticed... So when Shiina Riki is working hard in secret, she has to endure more than just strange looks.

What she needs to endure is an inner torment, the contrast that only she knows that she is getting stronger while others still think she is the same, and Li Xi really cannot prove that she has become stronger.

They will laugh at you, will point fingers at you, but you can't say anything to refute their condescending ridicule and guidance... If you refute them, all you get is a lighthearted response: "Really?" "As long as you are happy."

The only way to prove it is...

[Lixi, let your hard work shine brightly in the next music festival! ]

Yeah, just like Chitose said.

As long as you can endure the hard work that will not produce results for less than a year, you will be able to shine next year.

"I've decided. I'm going to take vocal lessons after school today! Xiaosui will support me, right?"

Of course! It couldn't be better!

Noshiro Chitose pretended not to react, and after hesitating for a moment, she smiled an unprecedented smile of relief.

"Really? That's great! I'll help you contact the teacher! I'll pay for it!"

"This, this won't do! Xiao Sui, you..."

"It's okay, I have plenty of money. If you feel bad about it, you can pay me back when you make a lot of money from music... You also know that this kind of course is not cheap, if you ask uncles and aunts for money again..."
