Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

"From the beginning, you wanted to invite Xiangzi back and rebuild CRYCHIC, and you never took the new band seriously. For this reason, I hope you can take good care of it..."

“…You really do care about Aine.”

"Huh?" Qiu Hui was stunned.

Su Shi's face suddenly turned gloomy.

Her original weakness seemed to disappear in an instant, and she put on a new face in the blink of an eye.

She gently pushed away Qiu Hui's hand on her knee, then supported herself on the ground, stood up, and brushed off the dust on the corner of her skirt with an elegant posture.

Qiu Hui crumpled the discarded tissue into a ball and held it in her hand, then stood up and faced Su Shi.

Su Shi was actually much taller than Qiu Hui. At this moment, she was looking down at Qiu Hui from above.

"Our employment relationship has ended now." She said in an almost emotionless tone, "The matter of that band has nothing to do with you anymore, right?"

This sentence made Qiu Hui feel a little dazed. It was not because of the content, but because of the voice.

Now Su Shi was speaking in a completely liberated voice. With a cold expression on her face and a completely undecorated tone, she sounded like two completely different people compared to her previous overly sweet voice.

However, she felt that it was easier to face Su Shi now that his true face was revealed.

"Suyo..."

Mu Xiaobu ran over quickly and came to Su Shi's side.

Su Shi turned around and glanced at Mu.

Mu, who was seen, lowered his head and stopped talking, like a muted group chat account.

"What you said just now is very right. I don't owe you anything. As for what I should do next, that is my own business. It has nothing to do with Akie-senpai anymore."

Su Shi turned back and spoke in a cold and distant tone. Her attitude at this moment was almost a poor imitation of Toyokawa Shoko.

"Do you think that I am treating everyone unfairly by wanting Xiao Xiang to come back? After all, you only care about this band and my affairs because you like Aion."

"…Why do you feel that way?" Akie frowned and touched her face unconsciously.

I kind of felt like I was right, so... I felt a little embarrassed to refute it.

Su Shi had no intention of explaining in detail, he just smiled sarcastically and shook his head.

"So, let's just say goodbye here. And thank you, Akie-senpai, for helping me clean my wound."

After saying that, Su Shi turned around, left the two of them, and walked forward alone. Her posture at this moment was still somewhat like a poor imitation of Toyokawa Shoko.

Qiu Hui looked at Su Shi's back without saying a word.

But someone wanted her to say something. Mu came up and tugged at the corner of Qiu Hui's clothes.

She was even smaller than the already petite Qiu Hui, and at this moment she looked more like a lost child.

"...Can you help me?" Mu asked, "Because Sushi is about to break down."

"I can see that." Qiu Hui nodded empathetically. "At this point, we can no longer just ignore it."

Qiu Hui simply couldn't believe that after such an intense emotional outburst just now, Su Shi could recover so quickly.

If she had the qualities necessary to do this, she would not have gone to the extent of kneeling down in front of Xiangzi in the first place.

Pretending to be so distant from others is just a way of covering up the scars in my heart...

...Just like Toyokawa Shoko. In a sense, they are really similar.

"Then, what should we do?" Mu raised his head with an expectant look.

She had no idea what to do. She had no say in Xiangzi's affairs, and Su Shi didn't even want to pay attention to her.

She didn't want to hurt anyone, but seemed to be hurting both at the same time.

For this reason, Ruo Yemu felt very sad and helpless...

...Fortunately, there is someone she can seek help from at this moment.

Although Togawa Aie was just a stranger whom Xiangzi had just met for the first time, as a new friend, her behavior just now showed that she was quite reliable. Therefore, at this moment, Mu seemed to have no choice but to rely on her for advice.

“What should I do…”

Qiu Hui frowned and shook her head helplessly.

“…I can only follow.”

Chapter 100 Haha, it turns out everyone is here

Qiu Hui decided to follow.

This is actually not in line with her usual style.

Even when she wants to help others, she will respect their personal wishes.

If the other party shows resistance, she will not pester him, so as to avoid acting on her own and bringing about bad consequences.

But this time the situation is different.

According to Akie's judgment, Nagasaki Suyo is definitely not in a state of normal decision-making ability now.

Just like a drunk person crying and shouting that he wants to drive, you can't respect his personal wishes, right?

Not to mention the help from Shoko's friend Wakaba. Multiple factors combined pushed her to make the decision to "follow".

Mu Ze followed her, and the two of them kept a certain distance from Su Shi.

"Su Shi, I want to follow you," Akie announced loudly, with no intention of hiding her intentions.

"Don't follow me." Su Shi responded without turning his head.

"I'm just informing you, not asking for your opinion!" Qiu Hui retorted.

Then she saw Su Shi lower his head and quicken his pace, as if trying to get rid of her.

This reaction also made her nervous. Not because she wanted to give up, but because it looked like she was about to enter the physical strength competition.

This is not good. Will this end up being a jogging competition or something like that?

The three of them left the open space, walked through a path with green belts and benches on both sides, and headed towards the street under the gradually brightening moonlight.

After the brief interlude, the empty space where everyone was arguing was soon covered by silence again. Only the faint background noise told of everything that had happened here before.

"…Looks like it's done."

Yamada Ryo was the first to stand up from the bushes.

Next came Ichichi Kouka, whose face still showed the intense shock left by the wonder that had just occurred.

"Why... can a band get to that point?" She was sweating profusely. "Just now, I suddenly thought it was great that the bassist was someone like Ryo... This is the first time since we formed a band!"

The physiques of the band members are different - she had just experienced this deeply through her own eyes.

As for Goto Ichiri, she was touching her knees thoughtfully, wondering what kind of inspiration she got from the scene just now.

"Wow... I want to be with Akiie too..."

"Then you can just go find her. You don't need to kneel down and beg her, she will agree, don't worry." Liang patted Ichiri's shoulder generously, "We are so close as a family after the band ended. We will definitely not make a scene like over there...ah, look."

She pointed to the grass on the other side.

“…left.”

Near the bushes on the other side, Chihaya Aine came out and looked at the path the three people left, feeling lost.

"We were in a daze for too long." Then came out an angry-looking Shiina Tatsuki, "Now we don't know where they are..."

"band."

The last one to appear was Takamatsu Tomori.

"What will happen from now on?"

Looking at the panicked Deng, Aine smiled and consoled him even though she herself was unsure, “It’s okay, Sushi just now… well, I don’t know how to describe it, but anyway, this is definitely only temporary!”

"...After seeing that kind of scene, are you still willing to believe this guy Su Shi?" Li Xi looked annoyed, "I already..."

"... Riki, first... stop blaming Sushi."

The light said quietly.

"Then what should we do?"

Deng's persuasion was particularly effective for Li Xi. She slightly relaxed her frown and asked everyone expressionlessly.

"Anyway, let's try contacting Su Shi first!" Aine was eager to try.

"You can try." Li Xi sighed, "If you think that guy is still willing to answer the phone at this point..."

After saying that, she looked towards the light and smiled as gently as she could.

"It's okay, Deng. The band will be able to continue in the future."

"……real?"

"Really." Li Xi nodded slowly and firmly, "I'll find a way."

Bass player or something, I just happen to have... a suitable candidate.

"..."

Deng nodded without saying a word.

But she instinctively felt that Li Xi in front of her seemed to be thinking about something... a little scary.

"...Wait a minute, is there someone else over there?"

Aine suddenly cast a suspicious look towards a certain bush, and then screamed, “Wow! It’s the person who ended the band!”

"Huh?" Lixi was also startled.

"Don't be surprised. It's normal for people to end their bands, right? After all, some of the people involved have ended their bands."

Since they were seen, Yili, Liang and Hongxia simply came up to them openly.

"Good evening everyone, it's really great to meet you here...haha, how should I put it?" Hong Xia scratched her hair and gave a somewhat awkward smile.

The trio over there followed Su Shi, and the trio here followed Qiu Hui, and as a result, there were actually as many as ten people gathered in the small open space in the park.

"From what I've concluded, our band has been dragged into your band's troubles." Ryo said seriously, "Although there are also factors related to Akie herself, I think you should still..."

"Don't pay attention to what this girl says! She's never been serious!" Hong Xia interrupted Liang before he started to ask for an exorbitant price. "I think, since everyone is here, let's think of a solution together, how about it?"

"It's already gotten to that point...what else can we do?"

Li Xi shook his head, but he already had an idea in his mind.

“Um, Aine…-san…”

Seeing Aine surrounded by so many people, Ichiri, who was originally an introvert, became even more restless.

"Goto-san... er, Ichiri-chan, this..."

Even Aine, who was always very active in socializing, felt a little awkward at this moment.

At this moment, both of them maintain a "don't think too much" relationship with Akie.

In other words, they were actually dating, but they were never in the same league as lovers.

This matter is already enough of a headache, but there is an even more troublesome situation right now... that is, Qiu Hui followed Su Shi away.

As a result, Aine and Ichiri were left out here...

"Wait, there seems to be a message... It's from Senior!"

Aiyin heard the notification tone and took out her phone to confirm.

"There are some problems with Sushi and Xiangzi. I'm trying to figure out a solution now. Don't worry too much about us."

In addition to Aine, Deng and Li Xi also received text messages with similar content.

"Ah... I have some here too!" Ichiri shouted.

"That lady who plays bass is in some trouble, I want to see if there's anything I can do to help, don't worry."
