Social phobia and lonely rock

Pochi took a deep breath and raised her head, grabbing the microphone in front of her that she thought she would never use, and spoke softly in place of Kita in the extremely quiet venue.

"We're a band that often gets into trouble..."

Her voice became smaller and smaller, but the sound engineer backstage amplified Pochi's voice to a level that everyone in the venue could hear.

The entire venue listened to her words in silence.

"I...each of us has also experienced a lot of things that we don't want to face..."

"But it is precisely because of this that we gather together, keep working hard for the next performance, and are happy for everyone to get closer... This is what it means to end the band..."

"So... so please listen... let's end the band's solidarity."

Hearing her voice trembling more and more violently, Ishikawa Hayabusa hurriedly called out to Hongxia, and Hongxia did not hesitate to sound the prelude to their stay here.

...

seconds ago.

Hear that frighteningly cool guitar solo.

At this moment, No. 3 felt as if her brain exploded. In front of her was a marginalized person who had completed the transformation and was even more cowardly than her, and in her ears was music that could inspire her soul.

The double impact from vision and hearing made her feel a miracle.

This was the sound of the guitar of the marginalized person she had just paid attention to, and this was the sound of the band that Number One and Number Two longed for.

She looked at the girl on the stage who had not dared to raise her eyes, but now raised her eyes tremblingly and looked over here.

The girl's eyes were half covered by her overlong pink bangs, but her blue pupils beneath the bangs seemed to ignore the bangs and looked straight ahead. There was a determination in her eyes that kept breaking but trying to reassemble itself.

At this moment, the lights on the stage seemed to be shining on her alone!

The pink-haired girl's voice ended, and the prelude of the music followed without any pause.

In the prelude of guitar, drums and bass.

Number three was confirmed.

From this moment on she is a fan of this band!

137. End of the Band

In the audience, Sato Aiko was holding her cell phone, staring blankly at the band on the stage.

A guitar sound that she could hardly imagine, but actually appeared at this moment, sounded in the venue like a complete liberation.

That sound is...

"Guitar...Hero..."

Sato Aiko murmured.

As a die-hard fan, she would definitely not make a mistake; this was the solo of Guitar Hero, and the music heard live was much better than what she heard online.

The degree of enhancement can no longer be described as on-site blessing, it can be said to be an extraordinary explosion.

The sound made her brain numb.

Even someone like her who had been listening to music for several days and was numb to it had such feelings, not to mention the excited music fans in the venue.

Only when the five people on the stage started the formal performance did they come to their senses and join in the fun.

And when the prelude ended, Sato Aiko was confirmed.

This music is worth enjoying!

...

On the stage.

Kita smiled, trying not to suppress his joy at the success of the performance and at Pochi's courage to express himself.

After the prelude, she started singing into the microphone in an extremely gentle voice.

"Go to sleep with a big question in mind."

"It is truly a dream to be loved by another person."

"Because you are so dazzling, I will become a shadow."

"Come on, it's time to take a step forward, even though nothing in this world is certain."

"But I still look forward to tomorrow with a childish heart."

Although the lyrics of this song "Caracalla" are as gloomy as in the past, there is also a sense of sunshine that is about to break through the clouds.

They played their own original songs which perfectly suited their mood at the time with ease and with great seriousness.

Completely blend the softness and warmth.

Most people in the venue were moved by the performance of the five people, but number three was different.

The gloomy yet tender lyrics touched her heart deeply.

The uncertainty about herself, the expectation of moving forward, and Xiao Xu's cowardice immediately resonated with her.

Hearing the song that was in sync with her heart, she felt she was being healed every moment.

It was like, on a high platform, someone telling her she was not alone in her romance.

Of course, she was also somewhat confused as to why such a song was sung by a top-notch sunny girl.

But the contrast is quite interesting.

"The End Band... is really a very cool and free band."

Number 3's little murmur was not heard by Number 1 and Number 2 standing next to them, as they were looking at the stage with joy in their hearts.

They tiptoed to the music, their eyes seemed to be looking directly into the light, leaving behind bright blocks of light.

The entire venue was immersed in the musical world performed by the five people.

The intense music and soft singing blend together to form this song that is full of contradictions yet at a loss.

And in the end, it leaves a wonderful expectation.

This expectation is full of motivation in the music.

“The time spent lazing around is also cherished.”

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"It has to be said quickly."

"In a corner of the classroom where skirts are swaying freely."

"With the dream that has always been overflowing in my heart."

“Will it be possible to achieve this?”

“It is possible...”

...

At the end of the guitar, bass and keyboard ensemble, Kita let out a long breath.

But amid the obvious yet soft music, the audience below was extremely quiet, and just when she began to worry.

The last trace of music dissipated in the air, and the next moment.

The overwhelming cheers and sounds of joy came towards them like a wave, and for a moment the sound stunned Kita.

She was stunned for a few seconds before she smiled and shouted in surprise into the microphone.

"Thank you very much!~"

Her sincere thanks elicited another wave of responses from the audience.

The other four people couldn't help but relax when they heard that it was as if the whole world was responding to their voices.

At this time, although Pochi had returned to the state of half-lowering her head, she could clearly feel the love of the many audiences for them.

She noticed Kita who was shouting passionately. Kita's eyes were wide open and shining with excitement, and he couldn't wait to introduce them to the audience in the quite noisy venue.

When she introduced herself and Liang, Pochi shifted his gaze to the side. Liang was holding Beth, breathing softly and looking at the audience with a very calm expression, but she seemed to reveal some satisfaction and happiness.

At this moment, Pochi was suddenly stunned.

She quickly turned around and looked back, and her eyes met with Ishikawa Hayabusa, who had noticed her movements.

Seeing her surprised look as if she had suddenly thought of something, Ishikawa Hayabusa smiled gently with encouragement and nodded to her.

But at this moment, Pochi's mind was not as simple as Ishikawa Hayabusa thought. She lowered her head slightly in response, pursed her lips, and her cherry-red lips moved up and down as if they were fighting.

Unusually, she did not respond much to Ishikawa Hayabusa, but turned around quickly and faced the audience with her head half lowered.

Ishikawa Hayabusa was stunned, and when he realized what Pochi meant, his heartbeat quickened slightly.

But he hid it well, just smiling to cover up the thoughts.

Only Hongxia, who was also in the backstage, noticed the implicit interaction between the two. She glared at Ishikawa Hayabusa with disdainful cat eyes.

Lovers who don't know the situation and act rashly at any time are really annoying!

These two guys give me some understanding of the atmosphere!

Soon, Kita finished introducing himself and Ryo, and it was Pochi's turn to be introduced.

"And then there's the lead guitar, Pochi-chan."

The reason why she called Pochi "Pochi-chan" was because before going on stage, they discussed what to say and how to introduce themselves during the scene.

But Pochi didn't want to use her real name, so Kita called her by her nickname like everyone else.

With uncontrollable joy, Kita walked up to Pochi with a microphone and explained to the audience.

"Unlike me, Pochi-chan plays the guitar very well. I learned my guitar skills from her. She is also the lyricist for all the band's current songs. Pochi-chan, show us your skills."

This is also a scheduled conversation.

Because during the discussion, Pochi decided on his own to introduce himself, and the color disappeared from Hongxia and Kita's eyes.

After several people unanimously decided, Pochi should just show off his guitar skills.

Below the stage, hundreds of people perked up their eyes and looked at the guitar player with extraordinary skills, but he began to tremble after speaking a few words, and the lead guitar also felt a little gloomy.

I wonder what kind of melody she will play.

But at this moment, Pochi lowered her head, her heart beating fast, and now she thought she had grown a lot.

She thought of Otsuki Yuyuko's words again.

momentum!

Now that she dares to express herself, there is nothing to be afraid of.

And she decided to hone herself more and make herself more courageous.

Show some momentum! Pochi!

She said to herself in her mind.

Then, in front of Kita's dazed and even terrified gaze, she resolutely put the guitar to her face and started biting the strings at an astonishing speed.

The next moment, in the eyes of the audience, the guitar was shaking up and down as if it was being gnawed by a zombie, and the low, roaring sound of the guitar echoed in the venue.

The horrifying sound once again suppressed the entire venue.

In an instant, the bustling venue was frozen as if it had been blown by a Siberian cold wave.

When Boqi was halfway through playing, she felt as if something was wrong. After she finished playing, she felt that the surroundings seemed to be as quiet as a funeral hall. For a moment, she did not dare to take down the guitar and face the audience.

Her face, hiding behind the guitar, turned into the confused state of 6д9 again after a long time.

Kita, who was holding the microphone, was also stunned and didn't know what to do next.

The whole scene was frozen, as if the show was about to end.

Ishikawa Hayabusa chuckled and leaned towards the microphone next to him. He completely ignored what was happening in the conference room and continued with the topic.
