Teacher Daxiang, please teach me how to play Kasuga Shadow!

A smile appeared on Ayano's face, but for Suyo, this smile meant their union, and for Ayano... well, who knows?

Chapter 193 Mizushima Ayano's One-Stop Strategy (27)

Sanrio Cafe is a place full of fantasy and cute elements.

Although this is not the first time that Nagasaki Sushi has come here,

This time, Ayano was no longer wearing the red and black outfit like last time, but unfortunately, drinking coffee today still made her feel unable to really relax.

As soon as you walk into the store, the first thing that catches your eye is the bright and soft pink and white decorations. The walls are covered with paintings and decorations of various Sanrio characters. There is not much difference compared to the last time you came.

The waiters, all wearing Sanrio-themed uniforms, greet every customer with a friendly smile. Sanrio characters can be found on their headdresses, aprons, and even shoes. Whenever a customer enters the store, the waiters greet them with a cute, "Welcome!"

For some reason, Su Shi couldn't help but simulate the scene of Xiaoxiang working here in her mind, imagining the cute Xiaoxiang smiling and shouting "Welcome" to her.

However, as these thoughts of Su Shi gradually disappeared and were replaced by the memory of the last time she came here and was stopped by the waiter and asked to pay the bill, her expression gradually became a little stiff.

He also said that there would be no more lies when we met next time, but the last time... Oh yes, strictly speaking, that didn't count as "meeting again".

But this time...

"I still remember what you said to me last time." Su Shi took a sip of coffee and said lightly.

"Which sentence?"

Ayano was really confused. She said so much, how could she remember these details?

However, Su Shi who was sitting opposite her didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Instead, she felt that Ayano was simply guiding her to continue talking.

"Didn't you say that you hoped there would be no more lies between us the next time we meet?" Su Shi suddenly smiled when she said this, "Although I didn't expect the real you to be so embarrassed."

"..."

"Actually, I always thought you were too perfect, Ayano. So perfect that I couldn't see any real feelings in you. You had a good personality and strong abilities. The only lies you told me were to deliberately irritate me and then sacrifice yourself for others.

To be honest... you make me feel empty, and coupled with your good looks, you seem too perfect.

Now that I see you have moments of loneliness and sadness, and times when you have disagreements that cannot be resolved, I subconsciously feel...is this the real you?"

"Really..." Ayano became a little uneasy after hearing what Suye said.

Did she... deceive the child too much?

Honestly, Su Shi in front of him hadn't actually done anything too bad, had he? Although he had deceived Aine before, the number of times he had deceived Aine on his side could have been enough to go all the way around Su Shi.

"Actually, I'm a good liar. I'm not a perfect person. I'm just an ordinary person with a bad personality."

"Really?" Su Shi looked at Ayano, who was already deprecating herself, and shook her head. "I don't think so."

"...No, why don't you believe it?"

"I have my own eyes and can make my own judgment." Su Shi stopped talking about irrelevant things and asked in a serious and determined manner, "So... what are you going to do?"

"I found out when Aine and the others will be having their next live show."

"When?"

He is indeed a general under her command. He got the enemy's top secrets so quickly!

Su Shi had already thought of many strategies in her mind, but she felt that what she needed now was to remain calm and to find out what other information she had not obtained.

"Tomorrow afternoon, starting at 5:2, at RiNG's second venue."

"Okay." Su Shi nodded. At this time, she didn't need to ask for leave.

"But I won't go tomorrow, Su Shi, you have to go by yourself."

"Eh?"

Su Shi was stunned for a moment, and his first reaction was to ask, "Why?"

"Because of a quarrel with Aine, I've already arranged to have a LIVE with other people tomorrow to prevent Aine from dragging me along. Even though I haven't really gotten to know those people yet, and I'm not very familiar with most of the members...

But I can’t accept going to the stage and watching Aine playing and dancing on it.”

"Then I..."

"I hope you can come over, Sushi. Logically speaking, it was you and Aine who first proposed to create this band, so no one is more suitable than you to end it all."

"...Indeed." Su Shi suddenly had the urge to retreat, but she quickly re-firmed her heart.

We can't be soft-hearted... We can't let more people, including Ayano in front of us, continue to be sad because of this.

"Okay, I'll go straight there after work tomorrow, I should be able to make it in time."

"Can you bring your bass?" Ayano saw that Su Shi had fallen into the trap and continued to coax her.

"My bass? Why..." Suye was a little confused, and then began to look at Ayano with suspicion, "I just went to tell everyone that this is a joke, what do I need a bass for?"

"Is there anything more impactful than walking over with your bass and smashing it right there and then?"

"Eh? No...eh?!"

Su Shi looked at the bloodthirsty Ayano in front of her with horror. She felt that... compared to herself, the Ayano opposite her was the biggest boss.

Is this kid finally going crazy?

But... thinking about that kind of scene, it is indeed very shocking. Judging from this behavior alone, it can indeed achieve a complete break.

"But that's the bass I've always used, I..."

"You can't bear to leave?" Ayano could no longer suppress the curve of her lips. "Or... you can't bear to leave everyone?"

"Are you kidding me?"

When Su Shi mentioned this, he couldn't help but slam the teacup in his hand on the table and said, "I said I was going to end this band, and this will never change."

"Then it doesn't matter, right? You won't be playing in a band with everyone anymore anyway, and Su Shi's family is well off. It's just a bass, there's nothing to be nostalgic about.

After all, it's hard for me to believe that you wouldn't switch sides right away, considering you're so attached to a bass."

Ayano could already see the hesitation in Sushi's heart, but the more Sushi tried to hold back, the more amusing she found it.

As for why Su Shi had to bring his own bass over?

Nonsense, this is of course to make Xiao Deng on the stage believe that Su Shi is here to play with everyone~

It can give Xiao Deng more courage and allow him to perform directly on stage without having to borrow a bass from anyone. Who else but Mizushima Ayano can think of such a thoughtful one-stop service?

Chapter 194 Don’t worry, Ayano, I won’t let you down (1/2)

"I understand."

Su Shi hesitated for a long time, and she finally chose to listen to Ayano's ideas first, although she was not very willing to do so in her heart.

She wasn't heartless enough to do that, nor did she want to use such extreme behavior to make others think she was emotionally unstable. But if she backed down at this moment, just because of a thought, how would she end it all later?

And just as she was hesitating, Ayano's next sentence came.

"It's okay. Actually, I don't really want you to do that. I just want to make our attitude clear. For example, you can take Beth with you and then hand her over to Lixi."

"Give it to Lixi?"

“She has a friend named Hai Ling who is a bassist. You hand the bass to her and then tell her to keep it for my meal replacement.

This is tantamount to mocking her previous behavior of looking for a replacement for Bess. This move is the legendary killing and destroying the heart!"

"..."

Su Shi hesitated.

As a military advisor... she doesn't seem like Zhuge Liang, but more like Jia Xu.

If you don't offer any advice, it's fine. But if you do, it's a vicious one!

Moreover, he was not present when the deed was done. This is exactly the same as Jia Xu's ability to save his own life.

"If you can't be so cruel, I have other options. For example, I can cut the cables connecting their instruments to the speakers after we go on stage... This is called cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron!

Want to go live? Go cosplay as Pikachu and give yourself an electric shock first!

"Stop, stop, stop!" Suye interrupted quickly, "Ayano, don't continue talking. I'll just go over with the bass and simply hand it over."

"Hand it over?" Ayano pretended to hesitate, then asked in a disapproving tone, "Isn't it a little too soft and not punchy enough?"

"So what do you mean, Ayano?"

"After handing it over... then saying, 'I don't need this anymore'?"

"It's stable, let's do it." Su Shi clapped his hands, feeling that Ayano had finally come up with a perfect plan this time.

Su Shi nodded and said nothing more. After all, there was no need to waste time discussing something that was already a done deal.

After taking a few sips of coffee, she looked into Ayano's eyes and asked, pretending to be indifferent:

"Xiaoxiang...has she contacted you yet?"

"Well, do you want me to tell her something? Or do you want to tell her in person?"

"No... I just want to know if something really happened to her family."

"You already have the answer in your mind, don't you?" When talking about this, Ayano did not continue to joke with Su Shi. After all, some things still have to be taken seriously.

"Yeah." Su Shi's face was a little painful. She lowered her head and played with her fingers, her eyebrows filled with uncontrollable impulses. "So is there really no other way? Ayano, your family is not very rich, let's..."

"Do you think she'll accept it?"

"......Won't."

Su Shi thought about it and realized that if Xiaoxiang was willing to accept this kind of help, she would have asked for it a long time ago.

And if you think about it carefully, even if she and Ayano's family are well-off, it would not be very likely for them to convince the adults to help Xiangzi.

My own mother and Ayano's mother may have never even seen Xiangzi.

It is also unrealistic to convince these two mature adults to help each other sincerely. In the adult world, they still have to focus on interests. They will not take over a "project" with an unclear rate of return.

Even Xiaoxiang himself would not accept such "charity", and the whole thing would end in a bad mood.

“Actually, Su Shi, you don’t need to care about these things, because Xiao Xiang hasn’t changed. She’s not much different from the person you know.

Although the band is over, it is not impossible to become friends again.

After this is over, I will find an opportunity

Let's go out for dinner together, the three of us. After all, even if some things have passed, we still have to give ourselves an explanation, right?"

"...Thank you, Ayano-chan."

Su Shi looked at the girl in front of her and was deeply moved. She knew that she was a liar who only deceived Junliang Ayano, but now the girl did not complain. Instead, she stood on her side and tried to understand her...

This reminded Su Shi of the aunt she had never met. For the first time, she felt that she was not alone, and that there were people other than her mother who were worthy of her sincere treatment.

Don't worry, Ayano.

Nagasaki Suyo is a man of her word and will not go back on her word once she has promised others. She will definitely break up this band!

"Ah, time is almost up. Sorry Sushi, I have to go rehearse for tomorrow's LIVE."

"Okay~" Sushi nodded with a smile, but her inner curiosity made her ask one more question, "Speaking of which... Ayano, who are you forming a new band with?"

"I can't remember them clearly. They're all English names, so they're hard to remember."

"Eh? Are you a foreigner?" Su Shi was a little surprised. "It looks like it will be very hard for you. I won't bother you then."

"Then I'll wait for your good news."

"rest assured."

Su Shi placed his right hand on his chest and made a solemn promise, "I swear I will never lie again this time."

"Come on, last time you swore you wouldn't quit the team voluntarily. Now that you've quit, not only will you be responsible for getting takeout, but you'll also have to grant everyone three wishes."

"Uh..." Su Shi was a little embarrassed, but after thinking of something, she said unconvincedly, "Ayano, isn't it the same for you? And you left the group earlier than me, right?"

"Indeed, then we are comrades?"

"Like-minded people? Well...we are indeed comrades."

"Don't let me down. The most important thing is...you must be firm in your truest thoughts. Don't hesitate. Once you're sure of what you want to do, just do it."

"Eh?"

Ayano looked at the hesitant Suyo and continued with a smile, "Don't worry about others. After all, you will be alone on the battlefield tomorrow.

Don't make a choice that you will regret. I believe you will never let me down."

"You don't need to remind me of this." Su Shi felt that Ayano's words were really an insult to her determination, and her expression became a little unhappy. "I know what I am doing, and I also know what I want."
