Even if the bands manage to reunite successfully, what about the future of Tomorin?
With Su Shi's abilities and skills, obtaining information about the future of Tomorin would be a piece of cake, as long as he makes contact with the relevant people.
As expected, she still needed to discuss it with Li Xi.
"I'm going to the bathroom now, tomorin!"
Making up a random excuse to leave through the door, Chihaya Aine picked up her phone, ready to send a message.
Volume 2 continues! Chapter 81: Toyokawa Shoko, We're Coming to Find You!
Do you want to send a message? But perhaps it can't be explained clearly in just a few words.
Arguing with Lixi via text message is definitely not as effective as voice communication.
After thinking for a while, Chihaya Aine finally decided to make the phone call.
"Please don't hang up, Riki."
The mundane routine of daily life and band rehearsals might be disrupted by this band's invitation.
Chihaya Aine's expression was uncertain as she stared intently at the flickering screen in her hand. What followed might be an unpredictable stage of fate for anyone!
Fortunately, this time Shiina Tatsuki's call was successfully connected, or rather, it only took three seconds for Tatsuki to answer.
"Hello? What's wrong?"
An impatient yet familiar tone came from the other end of the phone—it was Riki's usual voice!
With her anxiety instantly relieved, Chihaya Aine's expression calmed down.
"Of course we're talking on voice chat because it's something important, Riki. Do you remember Nina and MMK from before?"
"Of course I remember. I still watch all the live performance videos of MMK and the others."
"Hey, Riki is actually paying this much attention?"
"Isn't that natural?"
"Alright, alright, rikki is right, I'll just say it directly."
“mmk’s band invited us to do a band performance with them this weekend.”
Huh? A band performance?!
In the Shiina family's bedroom, after hearing Chihaya Aine's simple words, Shiina Ritsuki almost coughed up the water he had just drunk.
"I don't know anything about joint performances, Riki, that's why I came to ask you. What are you planning to do about Soyorin now?"
Without any beating around the bush, Chihaya Aine directly pointed out the core issue of the call.
"Su Shi..."
Upon hearing Chihaya Aine's voice, Shiina Tatsuki immediately fell into a deep thought.
"Well, there's actually one more point I haven't mentioned yet, but I think it's the best time to tell Riki now."
Seeing that there was no further message from the other end of the phone for a long time, Chihaya Aine made up her mind. It was time to tell Ritsuki about the future that Kita had told her.
"That day when I went to Shimokitazawa with Tomorin, Kita told me..."
Chihaya Aine slowly began to describe the rather explosive events that had transpired in the practice room, especially repeating several of Riki's final, crucial words.
"What? I actually said something like that?"
"Yes, but it was really Riki who said it, that nobody needs me."
"No, how could that be? Of course the band needs you!"
Sensing the pink-haired girl's slight gloom, Shiina Ritsuki panicked and hurriedly revealed her true thoughts.
"Oh, really? What kind of need does Riki have? Riki especially needs..."
"me?"
Chihaya Aine laughed and spoke in a lighthearted tone, and Ritsuki was hooked.
"That's true, we need you. Without you, our band can't hold a live show."
Even though I know Chihaya Aine is being cheeky again...
But Shiina Tatsuki had to admit that this guy was still necessary in the band.
"Riki, could you please give me a nicer compliment? This makes me sound like I'm just there to make up the numbers~"
"Don't you think you're just there to make up the numbers?"
"Rikka is so mean~"
The slightly tense atmosphere dissipated, and after a while, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly noticed something after he finished speaking.
Chihaya Aine's deliberate flaunting reveals her true purpose.
"Ahem, although we still don't know the direct reason why Su Shi bombed the group, we at least have a clear understanding of her purpose."
Despite having speculated and explored what Suze was thinking, Shiina Tatsuki still felt somewhat uncomfortable after hearing everything from Aine's mouth.
Motoyo Nagasaki remains trapped in the illusion of her past crychic days.
After the night of disbandment... everything can never go back to the way it was before.
"In that case, let's not take Su Shi with us. If she comes into contact with Nina and the others, who knows what that cunning fox might do?"
The concept of a cunning fox naturally refers to the two-faced Motoyo Nagasaki.
"What about the bass?"
"Yeah, I have a bassist friend..."
"Hachiman Kairin?"
"how do you know?"
"How should I know? Of course, that's what you did in the dream world, Riki..."
With a sigh of exasperation, Chihaya Aine looked sullen.
In order to maintain the band's form, Li Xizhen's move was the right mistake.
The band was short-handed, so asking for a bassist was essentially the right thing to do, but Li Xi overlooked the most crucial factor.
That is the sense of belonging of each member of the band, that is, the degree to which each member views and needs each other.
"If Soyorin's desire to reunite C-band is the root cause, then Riki, your bringing your friends to support us is the indirect cause, directly bringing the band's problems forward."
"Then, what should we do? Reject the band's invitation to join?"
Shiina Riki's handsome brows furrowed slightly, and she pursed her lips. This situation was indeed somewhat tricky.
"I don't think you need to be so discouraged, Riki. Soyorin isn't actually a bad girl; she's just a bit stubborn."
Recalling the moments she had spent with Nagasaki Motoyo over the past few weeks, Chihaya Aine finally revealed a gentle look in her eyes.
"There's no need to change members at all. We just need to make Soyorin think that the current band is more important, isn't that enough?"
"Wouldn't it be enough to just use the bond and love within the band to influence her?"
"That sounds like a good idea, but it won't be long, will it? What are your plans?"
Now that things have come to this, Shiina Tatsuki knows there really isn't a good solution. Should he just let Momo leave the band? Absolutely not. Tomori said he wanted to be in a band for life, and no one could be missing.
Sending Hailing would be the same; essentially, there's no difference between the two.
"Yes, of course, at this time we have to mention Toyokawa Shoko."
Chihaya Aine's lips curled up slightly, and she unconsciously raised her finger as she spoke.
"Xiangzi? What does that have to do with her?"
"Of course it's about me, Xiangzi is very important in my plans."
"Oh, by the way, who's the other guitarist on Crychic?"
"It's Wakaba Mutsu, why are you asking this?"
The doubts in his heart gradually coalesced into a ball of thread, and Shiina Tatsuki couldn't quite understand what Chihaya Aine was up to.
What amazing brilliant idea has this guy come up with this time?
"Why? Of course, I'm here to find out what's going on. I don't know about Ruoye Mu, but Soyorin's attitude towards Toyokawa is quite ambiguous."
Chihaya Aine shook her head helplessly as she recounted her visit to Nagasaki Motoyo's house to Shiina Tatsuki.
"Sigh, I wish I could have the same standing in everyone's hearts as Toyokawa-san. I don't think I'm any less than Toyokawa-san~"
Since forming a band with Tomorin, Chihaya Aine has noticed a very subtle change in Toyokawa Shoko's attitude towards her.
From calm and friendliness to hostility, and even a hint of jealousy?
Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 82 Asukayama Park, but Shoko Aine...
Haneoka Campus, afternoon after school, in the brass band activity room.
At this moment, a girl is sitting at the piano in the corner of the classroom.
Her long, light blue hair cascaded smoothly over her shoulders, shimmering with a subtle sheen that made it appear like shimmering blue silk in the setting sun. Similarly, her exquisite face seemed sculpted by a master artist; her fair skin, almost translucent in the sunlight, had a delicate pinkish hue, making her both tender and captivating. Her bright, golden eyes, like deep lake waters, were now intently focused on the piano keys.
After quickly finishing the etude, Toyokawa Shoko packed her things and glanced out the window.
Today, she did not see the two pink-haired and gray-haired girls who were laughing and playing.
"..."
As she walked out of the brass band activity room, Toyokawa Shoko reverted to her aloof and distant expression.
Despite the hardship she faces every day, Toyokawa Shoko doesn't find it unacceptable.
Everything was still within her tolerance range.
Losing Crychic isn't a big deal, nor is losing the bonds with former teammates.
Everything she did before her bastard father regained his composure...
It's all for a better future for everyone, and for her own sake.
168 billion yen.
It has to be said that this is truly a despairing number.
With her mother gone and her father becoming despondent, she instantly transformed into a different person.
She went from being a young lady of the Toyokawa family to an ordinary person.
But even so...
Everything is still possible!
So what if I'm ordinary? So what if I'm no longer a young lady? These things aren't so essential that I have to give them up.
Keep living with your own attitude and effort, oh, the weak girl from the past...
It's gone now!
Having reaffirmed her beliefs and faith, Toyokawa Shoko was eager to leave the school. She also had a part-time job delivering evening newspapers, and it wouldn't be good to be any slower.
Looking towards the school gate, the familiar figure with flaxen hair was no longer there, and Toyokawa Shoko's slight doubts immediately subsided. She then slowly walked outside.
It's so good that Nagasaki Motoyo didn't come to ambush her today.
"Why would they come to me again when they've already formed a band? It's so strange."
After learning about Motoyo's band from Mutsu, she became even more convinced that Motoyo Nagasaki was there to cause trouble.
It's good that everyone has a new life, but it's not good to be confrontational or anything like that, is it?
Hopefully, Su Shi will be sensible and stop looking for her...
"Oh, Toyokawa-kun, you're finally out! I've been waiting for you for so long!"
As Toyokawa Shoko took her first step out of the school gate, a clear and distinctive voice rang out beside her.
She is Chihaya Aine, the pink-haired girl from the next class who plays in a band with Kodama.
