I am the emotional sustenance of your deceased

"It's nothing, the examination didn't show anything wrong."

The smile on Qiansui's face made Su Shi feel familiar and at ease, and she no longer worried or thought too much.

But why does this smile look a little haggard?

"Are you guys trying to figure out how to find band members?"

"Yes, Chitose-sister, but it seems there aren't many candidates at the moment."

"Ah, well, Xiao Xiangzi was willing to form a band with Su Shi, partly because Su Shi Shi was your friend, right? Faced with your friend's invitation, you agreed, is that right?"

Qiansui tasted the tea that Su Shi had drunk with skillful sips. Her expression did not change, but Su Shi's ears turned red with a little shyness.

"Yes, there is," Xiangzi nodded.

"Then you can invite some of your friends. Xiao Xiangzi must know someone who can play a musical instrument."

"Are there any friends who can play musical instruments? Let me think..."

Toyokawa Shoko blinked and searched her mind for talented people she knew.

"Well... I've got a choice! Leave this to me!"

It seems that she really knows talented people in these fields!

"Then you guys do your best. I'm a little tired today so I won't accompany you. I'll be leaving first."

Qiansui arrived in a hurry. She finally whispered in Xiangzi's ear:

"I'll leave little Sushi to you. Please help me take good care of her. She doesn't have many friends... I'll take you out to play later."

Xiangzi nodded quietly.

[Huh? Are you leaving now?]

Su Shi felt a little uncomfortable when she saw the two people behaving intimately.

But she quickly suppressed this strange feeling.

[It's okay... I should just think about the band... Damn it, why is Mom so concerned about Xiaoxiang? I'm obviously your child... It's okay! As long as the band is formed, I can perform on stage just like Mom did when she was young! Mom will definitely be proud of me!]

……

"This is the talented person I know... ahem, a friend who can play a musical instrument."

"Yeah."

Nagasaki Suyo looked around at the group of girls wearing school uniforms from different schools and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

There's a guy with long black hair who's unhappy, a guy with short grey hair who's autistic, and a guy with green hair and yellow eyes who's unhappy and autistic...

Toyokawa Shoko, where did you get these talented people from?

Shouldn’t the so-called girl band be something very happy, youthful and sunny?

Su Shi tried to maintain a smile on her face, and warned herself in her heart:

"As long as it works, it works... As long as I can make Chitose's mother happy and make her proud of me, it doesn't matter what kind of personalities these people have."

At worst, you can just kick them out in the end.

After all, the most important thing is your mother.

This is what Nagasaki Suyo thought, but at that time she did not realize how difficult it would be to form a band.

And although these band members were recruited by Xiangzi, she, Nagasaki Suyo, is now the core of the band.

"You shouldn't be very tired, right?"

Will win!

……

will die.

"Why is the band like this? It's completely different from what I imagined."

Composition, lyrics, and training.

Each step seems simple, but it is extremely difficult when you actually do it.

"Xiangzi, I think this paragraph can be revised."

"This... Lixi, forget it. Xiaoxiang has already worked very hard."

“No, it does need to be changed.”

"Huh? Xiao Mu, do you think so too? Let me take a look...ah, this part, I'll adjust it a little bit."

Today is the weekend, a rare time of rest, and the band members gathered together to discuss matters.

These past few weeks have been very busy for Su Shi. They discussed for the entire morning and only now have they finalized the band's music.

The name is Kasuga Kage, which was given by the lead singer of the band.

Nagasaki Suyo went downstairs to help her teammates get takeout. Every time her shoes touched the next step, she would feel distressed in her heart.

It’s so hard to get some time to rest with Chitose...eh.

I really want to go home and be with my mother, but I also really want to shine in front of her.

Why can't we have both?

...... ...... ......

...... ...... ......

Ch100. Noshiro Chitose is really getting old

"I didn't expect that this is how lonely old people feel."

How could I possibly have such a sentiment one day?

The Nagasaki house was empty except for Chitose, who was sitting on the carpet in front of the sofa, drinking tea by the stove.

The keys were given to her by the two Nagasakis. Ms. Nagasaki generously gave one to herself first, and little Nagasaki shyly gave herself the other key.

As expected of mother and daughter, their behavior patterns are very similar.

"If it weren't for me, Su Shi would have to live alone in this empty place until..."

Is she in high school? Judging by Ms. Nagasaki's work schedule, it seems likely that Suyo will continue living alone until she starts working.

No, if a child lives alone in such an inhumane place from childhood to adulthood, he or she may not be willing to find someone to live with when he or she grows up.

Therefore, it is very likely that Su Shi will live a life of hardship alone, and one day he might die in the apartment and no one will find him.

"Big Nagasaki is really bad, and Little Nagasaki isn't much better."

As I said, they are worthy of being mother and daughter.

Once I get busy, I have no time to go home.

Qiansui glanced at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and she had arrived at nine in the morning.

From morning till now, she hasn't seen any news about Su Shi... Well, the girl band is just so busy.

Big Nagasaki is doing business, Little Nagasaki is playing in a band, and everyone has a bright future.

"Busy, everyone is busy, it's better to be busy."

Qiansui glanced at the time indifferently.

It's a quarter past one now, and I still have a few quarters past one.

She felt that the day when she would return home was not far away.

"Why do I feel so lonely? I was the one who deliberately sent Su Shi away so that she could focus on the band."

It was not until now that she realized that the tea in her cup was not tasty at all. After all, she usually drank coffee or tea brewed by Su Shi.

It seems that Chitose Noshiro has become accustomed to spending weekends with Suyo.

Su Shi can't live without her, and she also vaguely can't live without Su Shi.

In the past one or two years, Qiansui has really treated Su Shi as his own daughter and has spent all his free time accompanying her.

Although training is inseparable from repeated secret calculations.

Now that Su Shi has grown up and can find a partner to plan a career with, I... kind of want him to come back and be with me.

Is this what parents miss when they grow old? But I'm only sixteen... twenty-six or twenty-seven, and Su Shi is only fourteen or fifteen.

The golden circles in the red eyes sway with Chitose's breathing. They are the symbol of Noshiro Chitose's crimes.

【Three Chen】

Let me forget my worries.

"Alas, just like the two previous victims... we were born strangers."

Nagasaki Suyo, why are you so lacking in love? You get jealous and envious just by interacting with other little girls.

Be careful not to be blinded by jealousy.

After all, when emotions get the better of them, few people can move on soberly.

Chitose Noshiro was bored and decided to do something.

She found paper and pen and started writing, and that was what happened.

……

Click, click.

When Su Shi opened the door, she found that there was light in the room.

Who's home?

Is it a 24-year-old mother? Or mother.

"Mom? I'm back."

In this country, the first thing you do when you enter the house is basically to shout "I'm back".

But neither Ichinose Suyo nor Nagasaki Suyo had the conditions to develop this habit.

After all, no matter when you go home, there will basically be no other people at home.

"Are you back? I've adjusted the water temperature for you. Go take a shower."

"Mom! It's really you."

"It's really me. How's the band?"

Chitose popped her head out from around the corner, her gaze as gentle as ever.

"It's going very smoothly. I feel like it won't be long before I can perform like my seniors... Mom, am I better than Xiaoxiang?"

Su Shi said the last sentence subconsciously, but when she realized what she said, it was too late.

Is this childish? Although I do mind how my mom always praises Xiaoxiang...saying things like, "He's a friend worth making friends with."

"Yeah, our Su Shi is the best."

Chitose Noshiro was standing five meters away from Su Shi, but Su Shi suddenly had the illusion that there was a world between them.

The room was brightly lit, and for the first time, Su Shi discovered that the youthful and beautiful mother in her memory was actually somewhat...

Aging? Even wrinkles seem to appear faintly.

"Then~ do you want a kiss?"

The mother may be getting old, but in Chitose Noshiro's eyes, Suyo is still the little kid who is struggling to do homework under the light in the small house.

"Huh?! What?!"

"It's a loving kiss from a mother!"

"I don't need it. I...I'd better go take a shower."

Su Shi trotted to the door of the bathroom. She looked inside and saw that Chitose's mother had prepared a change of clothes and a bath towel for her.

As long as my mother is around, I can always be a child with peace of mind.

[But my mother's time is also passing by. As I grow up, she is also getting older.]
