Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

"Rikki is also very nervous!"

Aine called the drummer Shiina Tatsuki by his nickname.

"what?"

Unexpectedly, I got a response.

Denghelixi, who had gone to the bathroom, came back and just walked in the door.

"I'm talking to you--" Li Xi's eyebrows jumped.

"Wow!" Riki and Sushi's lecture was really terrible. Aine immediately felt something was wrong and jumped up from her seat.

Su Shi held Aine’s cell phone and stood aside with her hands hanging down.

Just then, she felt something moving at her wrist.

Su Shi glanced down.

It's the lead singer, Tomori Takamatsu.

She moved closer to Su Shi's hand.

“…It’s [Ghost Music].” Deng looked at the live broadcast on his phone and said, “Recently, a lot of people are broadcasting this.”

"Ah? Um..." Before Su Shi could respond -

“Right~ As expected, Xiao Deng is also interested!” Aine jumped out from the side, “It’s happening right next to us, don’t you think it’s exciting and thrilling? As expected——”

However, Aine didn’t finish her words.

Just then, a white figure flashed past the door.

"Live, hasn't started yet?"

It's MyGO!!!!!!'s lead guitarist, Kaname Ryunasaki.

She was called "Wild Cat" because her daily routine was as unpredictable as a cat's. At this moment, she poked her head out from the door, looked into the room with her yellow and blue artificial eyes, and asked.

"Ah, Wildcat." Li Xi called out, "Is the lead guitar audition over?"

"Ah."

"Then let's get ready." Li Xi pointed in the direction of the passage with his chin, "Let's go."

Deng nodded.

“Hey, here it is, wow…” Aine was a little flustered, “Ah, Deng, wait for me!”

"Xiao Ai." The light did stop.

“I’m leaving first,” Su Shi said calmly, walking past Aine with her bass on her back.

“Ah, eh—”

"Get ready to attract attention," Su Shi said. "Isn't that what you like the most?"

"Eh?"

Aine looked forward.

Su Shi had already walked past the lamp and entered the passage.

While saying these words, Sushi didn't even look at Aine.

but……

Aiyin was sure that those words were definitely spoken to her.

Does that mean "come on"?

Please put it in a more direct way!

"Soyorin, you are evil!"

Aine yelled from behind.

"Don't call me that weird nickname."

Su Shi's cold voice came from the front of the passage.

……

Eye-catching?

Aine didn't deny that she liked to attract attention.

Behind the curtain, Aiyin thought as she slung her beloved ESP guitar over her shoulders.

In class, you should study, exercise, and dress well to become the center of conversation.

When you go out with friends, say something interesting to get everyone's attention.

When I was in a band, I wanted to be the lead guitarist - although by some strange coincidence, I ended up playing the rhythm guitar.

But the result is pretty good, right?

After all, they have such a strong band!

“(We are definitely one of the best student bands in the City of Music!)”

Aine really likes "achievements" that can be quantified.

Some people would say this is showing off, some people would say this is vanity...

But so what?

Aine didn’t care.

In this era, countless big screens flash brightly day and night, various advertisements are played outside airships and buildings, and the songs on the external speakers change every few minutes.

Here, only those who attract attention can be remembered!

Don't try to leave an impression in other people's minds. After a few seconds, the brain-computer massage given by the flood of data will make the person you just met completely forget about you!

This is not the past!

You live and work as a matter of course, but there is no way to make anyone remember you!

No one can remember you?

What’s the difference between that and not having lived?

“(It’s good to be eye-catching!)”

Aiyin tapped the brain-computer interface, activating the auditory extension and digital recording link for performance.

She doesn't think her behavior is bad at all.

Although, she did fail once because of this.

……

Aine is from Tokyo.

However, he is not from the City of Joy.

To be more precise, she is from the Pan-Tokyo circle.

After entering the cyber age, the size of cities continued to expand with the construction of hovercrafts and suspended railways.

Tokyo has also kept up with this pace and become one of the cities that is constantly transforming and expanding.

Tokyo swallowed up the former Yokohama, Kamakura and Utsunomiya, and turned into a steel rainforest that stretches as far as the eye can see.

But this development is ultimately too redundant.

The transportation of the rich can keep up with the expansion of the city, but the transportation of the poor is already overwhelmed.

Therefore, at the instruction of the Japanese Prime Minister, Tokyo learned from California, USA, and carried out a streamlined transformation.

Concentrate resources and vigorously develop the original Tokyo, renaming it "City of Joy".

The expanded parts outside became satellite cities of the City of Joy.

Aiyin has lived in such a satellite town since she was a child.

The pace of life in Satellite City is slower than that in City of Music.

The security issue is not as serious as in Le City.

Sounds good.

But no one likes life here.

Because satellite cities are almost dead cities.

Twenty years after the construction of [City of Joy] was completed, these hundreds of cities were removed from the former Tokyo, and satellite cities of all sizes were left behind in the midst of prosperity.

The competition is not as fierce as that of Lezhicheng, and the development is slightly inferior to that of Lezhicheng.

These are the official statements.

In fact, there is no competition at all.

There is no development at all.

The development of the satellite city has come to a complete standstill. The people here work in the heavy industrial plants that are not allowed to be built in the City of Joy, leading a dull and predictable life, and then go to the pub for a drink after get off work.

They would comfort themselves: Lezhi City is so chaotic! If I go there, I will lose my head. It’s better to have my own home!

But everyone knows it.

Who can sincerely refuse a dream city?

Chapter 144 I Want to Become a Stage Girl

Aiyin does not deny that the values ​​of Satellite Town have influenced her.

But she also believes that she cannot ignore her own excellence.

When she was in elementary school, Aiyin gradually began to show her talent.

I learn things faster than others and do things better than others.

As a "talented" child, she entered the best junior high school in the satellite town.

Even in a junior high school like this, Aine is still the best.

She is top of her grade and also the student council president.

All attention was focused on her.

“(Those who say they ‘like to keep a low profile’ probably just haven’t experienced the feeling of being the center of attention, right?)”

Aiyin believes that once you experience it, no one will fail to become addicted to the feeling of being the center of the crowd.

She worked at the radio station, hosted a ball games convention, played guitar a bit, and performed at a cultural festival.

Everything was well done.

As expected of Aine!

Everyone said so.

Around her, Aine received numerous compliments and praises.

And from afar, there was recognition of her.

The things that Aine did because she was obsessed with the feeling of being the center of attention made her resume look very good.

When she was in the third year of junior high school, the high school department of Yugaoka Girls' Academy in the City of Music sent her an invitation letter to enroll as a gifted student.

That is the best school that ordinary people in Le City can attend!

How many young people in satellite towns dream of entering there, but suffer from the lack of a stepping stone...

Aiyin didn't ask for it, but it came!

"Aine, you should be promoted directly to the City of Joy!"

Everyone is envious.

But, at that time...
