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

"That's good. I'm leaving now and will wait for your news."

Su Shi watched Ayano's back gradually disappear. She was about to leave as well, but when she passed the cashier counter, she couldn't help but turn back and ask the cashier:

"Um... Table 13 has paid, right?"

"Number 13? Dear guest, you have paid."

"OK……"

Su Shi nodded, but just as she reached the door, she turned back to the cashier and asked again, "Um, are you sure? Can I really just leave?"

"Uh..." Although he was a little speechless at the sight of this young but very sexy JK girl, the adult clerk still smiled kindly, "Yes, you have already paid, so you don't need to pay again~"

"Okay, please."

After Nagasaki Suyo left, the woman inside the coffee shop suddenly changed her expression and said something unpleasantly:

"...Divine gold."

Chapter 195 A "Conspiracy" Against Xiaoxiang (2/2)

"Too slow, where have you been?"

Ayano had just gotten out of the taxi and taken the elevator to the rehearsal room when she was harshly reprimanded by Shoko, who was already wearing her performance costume.

But you know what, Xiaoxiang, who used to be just a softie in front of Ayano, now wears a Gothic long skirt and black stockings, plus lace gloves on her hands and a lace mask on her face. Her gorgeous and elegant demeanor makes her seem to have grown a few centimeters taller.

Of course, everyone else had already changed their clothes and were standing in front of the mirror waiting for Ayano, the only one who didn't arrive in time.

"I went to have a cup of coffee with a friend... Don't worry, I'm going to change now."

After saying that, Ayano walked into the dressing room and put on her black and white long skirt. Her slender legs were covered with milky white tights. She put on a pair of white lace gloves to match Xiangzi's, and finally put on a mask that covered the upper half of her face and walked out of the room.

"Ayano...Ayano?!"

As soon as Ayano pushed open the door of the practice room, Yutenji Wakami's exclamation was heard from inside the room.

There was no way, she felt that the girl in front of her was simply too attractive, with a good figure and perfect looks.

She was clearly just a maid in Miss Toyokawa's house, but she was so dazzling, and even...

No, why did she feel that Ayano's outfit looked like a couple's outfit of Xiangzi's?

Could it be that... Mizushima Ayano is planning to commit insubordination?!

"Ouch~" Ruomai, who was brainstorming, suddenly felt a hit on his head and cried out in pain.

"Stop being in a daze, it's time to rehearse."

"Okay, okay

~ "

Although it is a rehearsal for tomorrow's first LIVE, the part they are rehearsing today is more of a stage play. To be honest... Ruomai thinks the plot design is quite interesting.

Because there were no audiences, the six people could only perform facing the huge mirror wall in front of them. Naturally, there were no specific props. It could be said to be a completely non-property performance.

"Ms. Yutenji, your expression just now doesn't quite match my script. Do it again."

"Yes~"

"Everyone's introductions here are in a specific order. Please don't mess with it!"

"Eh? Is there anything else to be particular about?"

Hearing Hailing's question, Xiangzi also explained: "The main plot of this script is how the lost puppet experiences death in various senses and how it finds itself back.

So, everything starts with death, then learning to be fearless, eliminating unnecessary love, learning to love only yourself while enjoying solitude, no longer afraid of being forgotten by heartless people, and finally... there will no longer be any ridiculous sadness. "

The more the topic got to the key points, the more excited and involved Xiangzi became. She looked as if she had completely entered into the world of her own imagination.

She thought of herself, Ayano, Xiaomu and Chuhua, and everyone in crychic.

She didn't want to cry on the street with her face covered after that rainy night, and she didn't want to go back to that cold home. Even if she was a doll that was abandoned and died, she would stand up again in front of her grave and break free from all the shackles of fate.

"Um, Ayano...is your master okay?"

"Huh?" Ayano was stunned for a moment, then looked at the frightened Teacher Da Miao and replied with a smile, "It's okay, my Xiao Xiang is just pent up at home. It's okay as long as she is satisfied."

"..."

Are all wealthy families so cruel? Look at what they've done to their children.

"By the way, Sister Wakamugi, can you do me a favor?" Ayano said with a smile on her lips as she looked at Yutenji Wakamugi in front of her, not sure if she really didn't know the truth or was deliberately cooperating with them.

"Ok?"

"Didn't Xiaoxiang say she's fearless of forgetting?" Ayano looked at the middle-aged Xiaoxiang still chatting with Hailing and Xiaomu, and couldn't help but feel a sense of mischief in her heart. "Let's act out a scene later and see if she really is fearless of forgetting."

"Hey~ This seems interesting..."

"You two!" Xiangzi, who was standing in front, saw that Ayano was actually leading the way in misbehaving, and he put his hands on his hips and shouted angrily, "I'm talking about very important things, can you please pay attention?

Ms. Yutenji, do you think your drumming is good enough? Do you think tomorrow's LIVE will be perfect?

And Ayano! Just a maid..."

However, before Xiangzi could finish his words, he noticed the teasing in Ayano's eyes and quickly restrained his arrogance. "Anyway, be aware of your current identity, Solitudinis!"

"As you command, my dear little master~"

"Woo..."

...

On the other side, Nagasaki Suyo, who had already returned home, took a napkin and wiped the bag that she used to carry her bass.

Although it had only not been touched for a few days, to Su Shi... it was as if there was a lot of dust on it.

Are you going to give up like this?

With a snap, Su Shi stretched out his hands and gently patted both sides of his cheeks, trying to calm himself down in this way.

Now she can't turn back.

Yes... How could she have the right to go back when she was like this? And if I went back, what would happen to Ayano?

She knew that even if she was soft-hearted, it would be of no use. Besides... shouldn't she have hesitated at this point?

But why did she always feel uneasy now even though she had decided to end it all with her own hands?

"No, I can do that."

Su Shi tried hard to get rid of the wrong thoughts in her mind, then looked at the photo that once belonged to crychic on her phone and made up her mind for the last time.

Tomorrow afternoon at 5:.

She was about to hand her bass over to these people personally, severing the connection between herself and the band, and also severing the connection between her present self and her past self.

She already has a new life. She no longer needs to seek recognition elsewhere. She has her dear mother always waiting for her at home.

However, when Su Shi finished taking a shower and was lying on the bed preparing to go to sleep, she received another message from Mizushima Ayano:

【Go to bed early, Sushi. 】

Seeing such a short but warm text message, Su Shi's lips curled up into a smile.

Without even thinking, Su Shi sent a message back:

【You should go to bed early too, Ayano. 】

At this time, Su Shi didn't know that this ordinary good night message would be the last words she sent to Ayano for a long time.

Chapter 196: Don't misunderstand me anymore, I will never betray Ayano! (1 more)

The next afternoon, at RiNG's second venue.

The lights gradually dimmed, leaving only a few beams of light on the stage.

Lights outline the contours of the instrument.

There were quite a lot of audiences today. Some came to see other small bands, while others were students from Yugaoka who came to support Xiao Deng and Aine.

Of course, there were also a few scattered Ayano fans who came here with the names and ideas of "royalists" and "revival cause" and were ready to watch everything on the stage silently.

These people entered the venue before the performance began, eagerly waiting for the show to begin, and the walls on the side were covered with posters of various bands, telling of the countless legends that had been staged here.

Of course, there may be another legend about the girl band today.

"Next, it's Xiao Deng's turn. There are more audiences~"

With Rinrinko's part-time "announcer", Takamatsu Touma and his group walked onto the stage holding their respective instruments.

Lenai was the first to jump up, swaying in place while holding her guitar. She seemed to be enjoying the feeling. When she saw other people who did not come with her but gathered for the same stage, a happy smile appeared on her cute little face.

When Li Xi, who was already sitting behind the drum set, saw Ai Yin walking onto the stage behind Yu Xiaodeng, he couldn't help but smile with relief.

Although everyone has not arrived yet, Li Xi is already very satisfied to see such a result.

This at least shows that her and Deng's efforts are effective, and at least it shows that some things are not completely over and there is still room for recovery.

At this moment, Lixi thought of the music score she had finished last night after staying up all night. Although she had not told other members of the band about it, she was convinced that what she had done was valuable after completing it.

Ayano... She must find her back and apologize to her in person.

Of course, Li Xi understood that this was not enough. The light holding the microphone on the side must be still looking forward to the arrival of another person.

But, will she come today? Su Shi, who is busy with her part-time job... probably won't pay attention to when their live show starts, right?

“There are so many spectators here.”

Listening to Aine's familiar voice, Le Na couldn't help but say happily, "Finally."

"What do you mean it's finally here?" Aine was a little dissatisfied, but naturally the joy in her heart outweighed all other emotions.

She had talked a lot with Ayano last night, and explained her firm belief in bringing Suyo back.

But when it came to how to pull her back, the originally aggressive Aine suddenly softened, and in the end it was the omnipotent Ayano-chan who touched her head, and then told her in a way that Aine could not understand at all that there would be a chance for them to reunite at today's LIVE.

"Ano-chan..." Deng looked at Aine with a complicated look, "Will Su Shi really come back?"

"Little lamp..."

Aine thought about it, and although she wasn't entirely sure, she finally nodded seriously.

At this time, taking a step back would put a huge psychological burden on Xiao Deng, right?

But why didn't these people really believe her truth? It was obviously Su Shi who lied, right?

Could it be that after spending too long with the biggest liar Ayano, he was infected with some passive attributes from her?

That kind of evil buff where the truth is doubted and lies are believed?

"Are you ready?"

Lixi's voice was very calm. For her, everything she had now was enough for her to cherish.

But before Aiyin could reply, everyone started to play. Takamatsu Deng looked at the audience with a sharp gaze as if he had seen something incredible.

how come......

The girl in the audience, still wearing Tsuki no Mori's summer school uniform, whose eyes met hers, wasn't she their missing bassist, Nagasaki Suyo?!

At this moment, Deng was very hesitant because she felt that something major must have happened to Su Shi, and Aine might have said those words simply to comfort herself.

It’s not that Deng doesn’t believe Aine, but because... she is afraid that she has made a mistake. She is afraid that because of her own fault, not only will she fail to find the lost person, but she will also make the lost person’s feet full of thorns.

She was actually very afraid to face Su Shi, because she was not sure what she should say to save her life given Su Shi's current situation, and... could it be saved?

About playing in a band with them and singing out all of their hearts’ voices together?

Is this a bit too idealistic for Suyo? Although Deng sees this as a force to resist reality, to be honest, when she knew that Ayano and Suyo had already embarked on their own new life paths, she did retreat.

But why does Su Shi still want to watch their LIVE?

and many more......

Gao Songdeng suddenly discovered a fact that made her regain her confidence and dared to muster up her final courage:

That was Su Shi today, actually bringing Bess with her?!

She suddenly understood. She understood that Su Shi also longed to shine on the stage with everyone. When she understood Su Shi's heart, she also understood her own heart.

At this moment, Deng no longer hesitated, looking at the doubtful eyes of the team members behind him

, facing the equally puzzled looks of the audience, she jumped off the stage with the microphone in her hand, and then, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw on the shore, she paddled through the crowd and ran towards Nagasaki Suyo, whose eyes were becoming increasingly panicked.

Her right hand directly grasped Su Shi's left wrist, and she turned around and tried to pull the girl towards the stage. This sudden change also stunned Su Shi opposite her.
