Mygo starts from the blue sea

It’s like Crychic made an album with ten songs by Kasuga Shadow, and then Nagasaki Motoyo said, why don’t we listen to it.

It's crazy.

It’s not easy to let go of this.

But Fujiwara Ryosuke didn't care.

"You have to listen. This is a good opportunity to show off."

"Oh, Ryosuke, are you the kind of rock musician who would want to show off his songs in front of girls in a vulgar way?" Hailing teased with a smile.

"Yes and no, I just want to show off in front of girls who understand rock 'n' roll."

Ryosuke put the disc into the speaker and sat back in his original seat.

The two listened expressionlessly to the 17-year-old Fujiwara Ryosuke singing at the top of his lungs on the stage and to the violent sounds of guitar, bass and drums.

[Almost, almost put it on]

[Almost there, just a little bit more to avoid despair]

[Almost there, I can stand with them all]

[I’m almost there, so I can make fun of myself with them]

The songs written by Ryosuke in each period are different, depending on what he can hear from the other world.

If you think about it carefully, this is also a form of hallucination.

This song "Lao Zhang" was composed by him during the darkest time between the showdown on the rainy night and the disbandment of the band.

Needless to say, the feeling before and after the disbandment was probably the most painful. At that time, Ryosuke was like a terminal cancer patient who knew his condition but was powerless and could only watch everything come to an end.

Although still in Chinese, these lyrics are undoubtedly pure ice for those whose bands have disbanded.

But Hachiman Kailing didn't have the feeling of 'Oh my God, this is exactly me'. She understood the song and it was obviously about Ryosuke himself.

The story of a rebellious Tokyo noble who was tired of the regulated life and came to Chiba to pursue freedom but ultimately failed.

As Hachiman Kailing's intelligence gradually accumulated, her understanding of Fujiwara Ryosuke also gradually deepened.

He is like Sakata Gintoki in "Gintama", who appears to be cheerful on the surface, but is actually quite reliable and has painful memories that he cannot bear to recall.

Should we say that this type of man is very popular with women? Gin-san has also won the title of "the most desirable character in Japanese anime" for several consecutive years.

Now, when Fujiwara Ryosuke listens to this song, he just feels a little sad.

He just thought that once upon a time, Sanjiao Chuhua was the only one who knew her past. But now, her two good friends have caught up with her.

Xiaochu, your advantage zone is about to be gone.

But on second thought, it seemed that Shoko Toyokawa didn't even know the name of her previous band.

Xiaoxiang is so cute.

When one song ended and I was about to jump to the next one, I suddenly heard the sound of Shiina Tatsuki hammering the wall from next door.

"Keep it down! Why are you speaking so loudly?" she shouted.

Ryosuke:?

Then you go find the property management?

However, in order for Lixi to have a good rest, he had to stop pretending and take the disc out of the speaker.

Oh, Asasi.

Just as he put the disc away and put it back into the record box, Hachiman Kailing suddenly poked him in the back.

She held an earphone cord, plugged one end into her ear, and handed the other end to Fujiwara Ryosuke.

"Let's listen like this, so we won't disturb Li Xi's rest."

As she said this, she sat back on the bed, with a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Ryosuke nodded silently.

Thanks to Shiina Riki for the assist.

The headphone cord was very short, and the two of them sat on the bed with their bodies pressed together.

...

In fact, Shiina Riki was not disturbed by the song, she was just jealous.

Her roommate brought the boy she liked home, took him into her room, listened to his rock music with him, and had a very happy chat with him.

This burning pain in her heart and churning stomach, coupled with her current dazed state, made Lixi feel that she could not write Shadow Dance, but instead had to write "Unravel".

After the sound of the speaker next door stopped, Li Xi began to fantasize.

They are not listening to music. What are they doing?

You can't just sit there stupidly, can you?

Although this behavior was very dark, she still lifted the quilt covering her head, put her ear close to the wall, and prayed silently in her heart that it was not something too extreme.

"If you think about it carefully, it seems like every song your band sings is about you," said Hai Ling.

“Are you calling me narcissistic?”

"I think it's normal. The lead singer of a rock band has to be like herself. Even Takamatsu, Riki's favorite, sings about herself."

"Don't talk about the lamp behind my back!" Li Xi hammered the wall again.

Liang Hai and the other man ignored her.

"Speaking of which, although Sister Jing is my high school teacher, she is also a senior in the band." Ryosuke sighed softly while drinking beer, "You know what? I still don't know what she thinks of our band."

"You didn't ask her?" Hai Ling said.

"Should I say it was a little embarrassing because she witnessed the whole process? If I ask her, she will criticize and educate me on my actions, so I won't let that anger me."

"I talked to her for a long time." Hai Ling said softly.

"is it?"

Ryosuke wasn't surprised.

In many senses, Hachiman Kailin is the younger version of Hiratsuka Shizuka. When Shizuka was in college, she was very likely like Kailin now.

They should have a lot in common.

But...will Shizuka Hiratsuka tell her about her love life in high school?

"What did she say?"

Hai Ling paused.

"She thinks you're being held back from a musical standpoint by other people, and I think that's true."

"If Ryosuke-san's bassist, drummer, and keyboardist were as skilled as you, then your accomplishments would surely be astounding."

Fujiwara Ryosuke closed his eyes and said nothing.

"but."

Hachiman Kailing changed the subject.

"She also said that from the perspective of youth and even life, you are the best band and she wouldn't trade it for anything."

Ryosuke smiled with relief and threw the empty beer can into the trash can.

"Did she say that? Then... Hailing, what do you think?"

Hailing thought about it and stuffed the half can of beer in her hand into Ryosuke's hand.

"I don't know Ryosuke's youth and life, so I can't give a particularly objective evaluation."

“But… imagine if the people around you didn’t all want to become professional musicians like me and spared no effort to do so, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be able to create those works.”

"For example, the song you just wrote was too difficult, and there were too many interludes of pure instrumental music without vocals. I could tell that, apart from the guitar, the bass and drums didn't follow along, and the rest of the song was messed up."

"But because of this... there is also a special, incomplete, irreplaceable charm."

When saying these words, Hachiman Kailing's tone was flat, as if she was a storyteller telling a story that had nothing to do with her.

Fujiwara Ryosuke nodded slightly.

"That's a very good point, but Sister Haizi, I don't think that's necessarily the case."

"Really?" Hai Ling frowned slightly. She thought she completely understood Ryosuke's thoughts.

"If in a parallel world, my bandmate in high school was Hai Ling..."

Speaking of general things, Ryosuke raised his head slightly and smiled.

"If the bass was you, the guitar was Chuhua, and the drums were Lixi, do you think we couldn't make these songs?"

Hai Ling imagined it and couldn't help but smile.

"I see..."

"The story may be different, but that doesn't mean there is no story." Ryosuke said slowly, "And if that's the case, maybe I can write some more positive songs."

"In that world line, maybe Ryosuke-kun is a girl from Hanasakigawa Girls' High School." Hailing continued, "You sit between me and Riki-san, and then after school, you call Chuhua-san, and the four of us go practice together, hold live together, and travel together."

Let’s open it together because we are afraid.

"That sounds like an ideal high school life." Ryosuke agreed, "We'll force Rikki to wear stockings every day."

"Absolutely. Li Xi wears stockings and Chu Hua wears black stockings. They switch sides every month."

"Fuck, I'm big."

Ryosuke raised the flag as soon as he thought about it.

If he were a woman, he would definitely tie up the entire Hanasakigawa, and then tie up Yugaoka and Hanasakigawa, all the way to Shuchiin.

"It's really worth fantasizing about. But there's another question." Hai Ling said, "In the parallel world, the you who doesn't write emo lyrics, is that still you?"

"This is entering a new area of ​​discussion. I think we should not touch on these divergent ideas. It's easy to talk about them all night long."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

"It really doesn't make much sense. There are too many people in the world, so there are too many possible combinations." Hailing added, "If it was me instead of Nagasaki who was invited to join Crychic, then Kasuga Shadow might be very different."

Between Ryosuke and Kairin, "Haruhi no Kage" has become a distorted meme just like Xiaoxiang's worldview.

Fujiwara Ryosuke thought that Hachiman Kailing and Nagasaki Suyo really didn't get along. But she was too cruel, directly not allowing Suyo to join Crychic... Are you a demon?

"Hahahaha, Sister Haizi, please don't say that in front of Soyo." He said, forcing down a laugh.

"Are you afraid that I'll hurt her feelings?"

"I'm afraid she'll cut you into a Shimane Kairin."

The two laughed in unison.

It’s really fun to chat like this.

Compared to when she was swimming, Hachiman Kailing's face had a little more blush from the beer, which added a layer of charm to her usual handsomeness.

She leaned close to Ryosuke's ear and whispered softly.

"Other world lines don't matter, because the person who makes me have all kinds of fantasies is sitting here."

Ryosuke's hands had naturally wrapped around her waist by now.

"But, there must be a world line where you and I meet normally, play music together normally, are together normally, and do all kinds of things normally." He whispered.

"Just you and me?" Hai Ling asked.

"Ah."

Going to school, performing, dating, getting married, the two of them lived a carefree life...

If you think about it this way, it really is a perfect world.

In fact, Hachiman Kailing has thought about this many times.

However, reality is completely contrary to this fantasy.

"So, is that world line better, or is this one better?" she asked calmly, but this was a very crucial question.

Ryosuke remained silent.
