"Huh, so much happened?"
Listening to Tomorin's calm narration, Chihaya Aine looked surprised, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Would Riki really say something like that to Tomorin?"
Normally, Li Xi would not only show concern for the lamp, but also take great care of it. If anyone were the first to ignore the lamp, then they would have to endure Li Xi's cold scrutiny and questioning.
"Yeah, so I was surprised too. At the time, I didn't understand why Lixi would say those things to me, even though..."
“I’ve already sung at the top of my lungs.”
Once again, a troubled expression appeared on Gao Songdeng's face. To this day, she still doesn't quite understand what happened back then.
Although Li Xi eventually opened up to her, and she understood the emotions Li Xi was afraid of...
However, she still cannot fully understand or explore the reasons behind Li Xi's sadness.
If possible, Takamatsu Akari really wants to know.
"Although I had thought about what Riki cared about, hearing Tomorin explain it live was definitely different."
The image of a determined girl drumming flashed through her mind, and Chihaya Aine finally sighed, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Whether it's her, Tomorin, or Riki, they all harbor hidden sorrows and pasts.
At the same time, it is no longer appropriate to show a playful and carefree attitude when touching on what others are carrying in their hearts.
The two continued on their way to the astronomy lab, and soon Chihaya Aine saw a familiar flower bed and bushes.
"We've come here again, Tomorin. Do you remember? This is where we first met~"
A warm, sunny smile spread across Chihaya Aine's face as she pointed to the green grass not far away, near which several clusters of flowers of different colors were blooming.
"Yes, I'll always remember that day."
When Gao Songdeng recalls that day, he still feels it was a day of fateful encounter.
If she hadn't met Aine, what would she be doing now?
Day after day, the Astronomy Department? Constantly reminiscing about the past of Crychic? And never singing again in the end?
A terrifying future kept flashing through his mind, and Takamatsu Akira quickly shook his head.
That kind of future is definitely not the future she wants.
"Okay, I know how to tell you about Lixi now, Tomorin, come here quickly!"
Waving to the gray-haired girl beside her, Chihaya Aine was the first to squat down in front of the flower she had just discovered.
Gazing at the flowers before her, she had wonderful thoughts and metaphors in her mind!
"The flowers are lovely, Aine, what happened to them?"
"No, you mustn't hurt the little flower..."
Takamatsu looked somewhat worried.
It's true that stones can be collected, but small flowers are living things, and these should not be collected!
"tomorin, I didn't mean that, really."
Chihaya Aine gave Takamatsu Akari a reproachful look, then extended her index finger and pointed to the first cluster of flowers.
It was a cluster of beautiful flowers with bright red color, the most eye-catching of the three flowers.
"Isn't this flower beautiful, Tomorin, compared to these other two groups of flowers?"
"Hmm, the other two are both dark colors, one is dark blue and the other is dark red..."
Following Aine's finger, Takamatsu Akari began to explain.
“Although I don’t know what kind of flowers these are, they look like they’re all together but they’re quite different, right, Tomorin?”
"Yes, Aine is right."
"So actually, I, Riki, Tomorin, am these flowers."
"Eh?"
"Don't look confused so quickly, Tomorin. It's just a metaphor, a metaphor."
"I've begun the first step of the explanation," Chihaya Aine said with a smile.
"So-called grand principles and such are actually not suitable for tomorin."
"Life philosophies are mostly obscure and difficult to understand for Tomorin, right?!"
Chihaya Aine didn't think she had the ability to let the cute little animals in front of her understand those things.
So using these flowers is just right!
"Even though the flowers are all in the same flower bed, they may not grow in the same cycle because of their different species and different locations, right?"
"Some flowers grow quickly, while others grow slowly, right, tomorin?"
"Yes, Aine is right."
Listening to Chihaya Aine's patient and persuasive words, Takamatsu Akari nodded noncommittally.
eye
The dark blue flowers in front were not as lush as the other two clusters, and even seemed a bit too sparse.
"Yes, so even though everyone seems to be in the same flower bed."
"But in fact, both their internal structure and their growth appearance are completely different."
"Although Tomorin, Riki, and I are all in the same band, our past experiences and upbringing are all different."
As the conversation reached a crucial point, Chihaya Aine's expression gradually became serious.
"Because we are different, each of us has different things we care about, and we often do our best for those things."
Even if the people around you don't understand.
Even if the people around you don't understand...
Listening to Aine's words, for some reason, Takamatsu Akari's memories instantly returned to RiNG's practice room, which was after the first Crychic live performance.
Why does the lead singer sing so hard?
Of all the positive reviews, she noticed this one the only one and felt saddened.
"Aine, do you think I'm pushing myself too hard when I sing?"
He spoke cautiously and with concern, his expression slightly disappointed.
She wasn't unfamiliar with other live performances; while waiting for her own show, she had caught glimpses of performances by established bands, such as Afterglow and PPP.
But she is different from those predecessors.
As soon as she opens her mouth on stage, everything around her seems to disappear, and she can't hear any sound.
It was at Lixi's house, and also during Crychic's first performance.
Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 79 Before Becoming Human
Do you think Tomorin is pushing himself too hard when he sings?
Upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's question, Chihaya Aine did not immediately give an answer, but instead looked thoughtful.
While practicing chamber ensemble pieces, she kept observing her band members, including rikki, soyorin, tomorin, and Lena.
Lixi was fully focused and in control of the entire scene, paying close attention to the movements of each member around her and adjusting her own pace accordingly.
Su Shi played with a relaxed and leisurely attitude, occasionally looking up at the other members.
As for Lena and Xiaodeng...
That's the epitome of self, isn't it?
Compared to Ryuna-chan's carefree and superb playing, who is immersed in her own world, Kodama is a bit different, or rather, she is as she describes herself.
They worked incredibly hard.
During their performance, Tomorin was like a warrior in dire straits, clutching the microphone, their last weapon.
Through singing, it's as if he's trying to convey his inner passion to every corner through the microphone with a fierce intensity, making it very expressive and expansive.
To be honest, Chihaya Aine had never seen this somber demeanor on anyone else.
After her thoughts had been racing, she hesitated before speaking.
"If Tomorin wants to know what his performance on stage is like..."
"So for me, and for the audience, it should be about giving it my all."
Regardless of how you compare him to others, Tomorin's singing style is indeed unique, and that's a fact.
"Does Aine think so too? I knew it... Wouldn't it be strange if I went to such lengths?"
"But I don't know why, as soon as I open my mouth, I just... I enter that mode..."
Hearing Ai-on's reply, Takamatsu Akari frowned slightly, and at the same time, the corners of her mouth drooped down unconsciously, revealing an indescribable loneliness.
She really is too strange.
"Strange? Why would Tomorin think that?"
Seeing the adorable gray penguin in front of her looking gloomy, Chihaya Aine immediately turned displeased and pretended to be angry.
"Does Tomorin think that singing with all your might is a bad thing?"
"Isn't that right, Aine?"
"No, no, of course not, tomorin! It would be strange if you even thought that way!"
Chihaya Aine suddenly stood up from her crouching position, put her hands on her hips, and then looked at Takamatsu Akari with an exaggerated expression.
"Singing with such intensity is ultimately just a way of describing the lead singer's state of mind while singing, right?"
"Since Tomorin sings with such dedication, then surely there must be others who sing so lightly and casually, right?"
Does Tomorin acknowledge this?
"Hmm, it seems to be just as Aine said."
Following Chihaya Aine's movements, Takamatsu Akari slowly stood up, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
She had never thought of this angle before; it was as if she had discovered a completely new continent!
"If working hard is equated with singing badly, then why do Riki and Soyorin still want to team up with Tomorin?"
Even after Crychic disbanded?
At this moment, every word the girl uttered reached Gao Songdeng's ears, prompting her to begin a new round of contemplation.
She felt like she had grasped something.
"I...I think I understand."
"It was because I worked so hard that Lixi and Sushi noticed me."
"It was because I gave it my all that the audience cheered for me."
Memories travel through the river of time, and Takamatsu's consciousness seems to return to that spring afternoon when the shadow play ended.
"Xiao Deng, are you okay?"
"Tomori, really, waaaaah—"
Before them stood Xiangzi and Lixi, their eyes glistening with tears. Behind them walked slowly a moved Su Shi and a calm Xiao Mu.
Before she knew it, she was surrounded by her Crychic teammates, who were embracing her tightly.
That was their beautiful live performance and
Spring shadow.
"Is it because we are not understood by others that the time we are understood is so precious?"
After pondering for a long time, Takamatsu arrived at his answer.
"That's roughly the gist of it. Tomorin's summary is spot on!"
