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

“Wait a minute…”

Su Shi wanted to break free from Deng's restraints, but she found that Xiao Deng held her wrist with unusually strong force today, as if she was handcuffed with handcuffs, and she couldn't break free no matter what.

"let me go!"

"..."

There was a bang, which sounded like the microphone in Deng's hand falling to the ground, or like the last beat of Su Shi's heart that suddenly stopped.

No, that's not the case.

Looking at Xiao Deng looking at the bass bag on his back and then looking at himself with a firm gaze, Su Shi felt... like he was misunderstood!

Oh no, the military advisor she found is a loser!

"Don't get me wrong, this bass is going to be smashed. I...I'm also here to end this band!"

Chapter 197 I'm Sorry Ayano, I'm Defecting (1/2)

Nagasaki Suyo kept resisting, but it was obvious that her resistance was of no use at this moment.

When she was pulled all the way to the bottom of the stage by the small lights, Aine above her directly reached out her hand and grabbed her like a relay and was about to bring her up.

“Aine…”

"Stop lying, Sushi-kun."

Aiyin looked at Nagasaki Suyo in front of her with a smile. She was surprised that Suyo, who had been talking about ending the band yesterday, had actually packed herself up and sent it to her today.

She even brought her own musical instrument, as if she wanted to join in.

But none of this matters anymore. Aiyin has already seen the hesitation and panic in Su Shi's eyes. The way she clearly wants to turn back but is forcing herself to do so for the sake of that ridiculous bit of face makes Aiyin feel that Su Shi is really adorable at this moment.

Su Shi, who was brought to the stage, hadn't figured out how to face Aine's soul-searching questions when she suddenly saw an agile figure rush past her, and then she found that her shoulders relaxed.

When she turned around again, she realized that it was Lenai who had taken away her bass bag. Then, before Su Shi could explain anything, she saw Lenai standing in front of her with her bass in her hand and handed it to her.

“No…this is…”

"This belongs to you, and you... belong to us."

"Eh?" Su Shi was a little confused by Aine's cheesy words that she had learned from someone, and then she found that the bass in her hand that she was supposed to give away was taken by Aine, and she was preparing to install the shoulder strap for her.

Why.......

Why did things suddenly turn out like this? Why didn't Ayano foresee this?

Su Shi on the stage was very confused at the moment. On the one hand, she felt that she shouldn't be so hesitant, but on the other hand, she was reluctant to throw away the bass in her hand.

Yes, she actually couldn't bear to lose this bass, because it clearly contained all the memories that had happened from the time she met everyone in crychic to the present.

There are indeed some beautiful and some sad ones, but no matter which one it is...she seems reluctant to abandon it.

"I never understood it."

When Su Shi was still hesitant and just needed the last spark to ignite her, Xiao Deng picked up the microphone again and walked up to her. He naturally took her hand and said in a trembling but calm tone:

"I can't find the right answer or common meaning. The world is so far away from me...it's beyond my reach.

The spring that embraces the sunshine is about to disappear because of the bright summer sun.

spring.......

The corners of Su Shi's mouth trembled slightly. She naturally knew what Xiao Deng was referring to. Indeed... that "spring day" had indeed become a thing of the past.

"If I'm going to dry up because of the asphalt road, I'd rather hide under a rock forever..."

When she sang to this point, Su Shi felt her heart inexplicably touched. She knew... Xiao Deng had expressed her inner thoughts in front of her.

In front of everyone, she held her own hand and looked into her own eyes, expressing her inner fear and confusion.

Su Shi had no way to escape from that passionate gaze. She could of course step down now, but...is that really a good idea?

This was the closest she had ever come to ending everything, but it was also the closest she had ever come to accepting her own heart.

"Su Shi."

On the noisy stage, Su Shi seemed to hear someone calling her name, but when she came to her senses, she found that it was not specific words, but the expectant eyes of four people looking at her at the same time.

Aiyin put the bass in her hand on Su Shi's body, and at the same time played with her hair that was caught by the shoulder straps.

At this moment, the snare drum beats stopped, and the guitar and vocals also disappeared, as if everything had become quiet. Su Shi couldn't even hear any words from the audience below the stage.

But this

The silence was deafening, like firecrackers set off during a festival. Sections of red paper slapped her face with the sound of her heart exploding, stinging her while also making her feel the unconcealable reality.

Sorry...Ayano.

It seems that I can't fulfill the agreement between us. Please forgive me, the liar... forgive me, the traitor, because of the weak part of my heart, I can't let go of the past and can't do anything she originally said she would do.

Nagasaki Suyo no longer hesitated at this moment. As if to vent and release her emotions, she walked onto the stage with the bass in her hand and stepped hard on the amplifier and synthesizer under her feet.

As she joined, the others began an impromptu performance as if they had already agreed. Everyone seemed to be expressing themselves with the instruments in their hands, but everyone's inner voice was condensed into one place because of the lyrics of "Light":

"I ruined it all over again."

Xiao Deng, holding the microphone, was still looking at Su Shi's face. She shouted loudly, as if she wanted to say all the words that she had not had time to explain.

“I don’t want to lose, I don’t want to forget.

But my weak hands let it go... I knew how important it was."

It sounds like crying, but also like longing.

Su Shi felt her emotions gradually being aroused, although she had never thought that she would use such a process to exchange for a result that she did not want.

"Even though my mind is in a mess, if it's not completely gone, I want to get it back! I want to convey it!

If allowed, I don't want to give up just like that!

Although I don't want anyone to find me, but... the time I spend with you makes me so happy.

I haven't had time to tell you properly yet.

So...I really don't want to hurt you, and I really don't want to be separated from you like this. What should I do?

There are words that I can’t express properly, but still want to convey!”

With the shout of the lights, the music took a sharp turn, like stars climbing up into the sky, or like people pulling the stars into the sky.

The tails left by the stars after their flight were the tears that several girls could not help but shed. The tears fell into the Milky Way, and the tearful eyes turned into stars, forming an unnamed constellation belonging to the lost people.

Aiyin saw tears on Riki's face, and Sushi, who lowered her head beside her, felt that the tears in her eyes could no longer be held back and fell. At this moment, she understood...

She was really going to officially defect from the band's camp.

Ayano, please... forgive me.

Chapter 198 Cat: What about Ayano? (2/2)

At the same time, on the other side, in the obviously more grand conference hall.

Almost everywhere you look, there are posters promoting tonight's performance. "Ave Mujica" is engraved in fancy fonts against a black and red background. A black lace mask, which best reflects the theme, takes up most of the frame, and the caption below indicates that this is a grand masquerade ball.

It has to be said that Nanako cares very much about her daughter and one of her daughter's candidate girlfriends, Toyokawa Shoko. Even though there are two celebrities in the band who are quite popular on the Internet, who can recognize them after they put on masks?

Even so, so many resources were invested in the first performance, which is enough to prove how much importance Nanako and the entire company attach to this project.

In the backstage of the G-WAVE venue, the girls who had arrived early were now cooperating with the makeup artists to make final preparations before the performance.

"excuse me."

Xiangzi's voice was heard outside the door, and then the door of the lounge was pushed open. Xiangzi, wearing the casual clothes that Ayano had complained about countless times, walked in.

"Ayano, where is Miss Yutenji?"

When Xiangzi walked into the house, she first looked at the people who were making preparations with satisfaction, then frowned and subconsciously asked the question to Ayano, whom she trusted the most.

"Are you talking about her?" Ayano was currently sitting in a chair. Although she was a little uncomfortable with the makeup artist's movements, she didn't show any emotion. "She's over there on the stage. It seems like she wants to check on the drums and make a final confirmation."

"...Really? I'll go check it out then and be back soon."

Xiangzi was speechless, but decided to go and confirm the situation first.

When the door of the lounge was closed again, Ayano turned her attention to Xiaomu beside her.

Although she couldn't tell whether the girl was nervous or distracted by other things at the moment, she still took the initiative to speak:

"Xiao Mu, the friend named Aine I mentioned earlier has replied to my message."

"……Um?"

There was a ripple under Xiao Mu's calm eyes. Although it was not easy to turn around directly, Wakaba Mutsu in the mirror was obviously observing Ayano's face.

"She said tonight's live performance went smoothly. Su Shi... cried heartbreakingly, but the outcome was good. It seems she won't be lost anymore."

"Um……"

Seeing Ruoye Mu hum, it seems that he wants to say something but doesn't know how.

Speaking, Ayano smiled and continued, "Next time, let's go to see Su Shi's performance together and ask Xiao Xiang to come along."

This time, Wakaba Mu was silent for even longer, and when she spoke, Ayano didn't even realize she was talking at first.

However, there were only a few people in this quiet lounge, so Ayano still heard Mutsu's somewhat embarrassed reply:

"...Thank you, Ayano."

Thanks?

It's bad. Ayano feels that sometimes after she does what a human being should do, the pleasure she feels inside is actually not much less than when she does something bad.

But this may also be related to the person you are facing. After all, it is rare for a girl like Xiaomu to get the other person to say a few more words. Alas... sometimes Ayano feels that Xiaoxiang actually has a difficult life.

With such a big thing happening at home, Xiaomu should be the best friend I could talk to. But with Xiaomu's personality, let alone giving any useful comfort, it would be difficult for him to find a few words that would not hurt Xiaoxiang among the few words he could say.

I haven't been in touch with Chuhua for a long time. They were former band members... To be honest, our relationship wasn't good enough to be able to trust everything to each other. The past called crychic hadn't been able to carve the superficial beauty into our bones before it evaporated in the sun.

"Xiao Mu, if you want to thank me, why not do me a favor."

"Eh?"

"Don't you want to?"

"No... Ayano, you helped Suyo, I'm grateful."

Well, Ayano felt that she had found the joy of being a bad woman again. She had clearly tricked Su Shi into packing the boxes herself and then delivering the goods to her door herself.

Instead, he has become Xiao Mu's benefactor, and he even uses this as an excuse to "blackmail" the lovely Xiao Mu to help him do more bad things, ah...

How could there be such a hateful person like me in this world?

"lamp……"

Seeing Gao Songdeng squatting on the ground just after he walked off the stage, Li Xi subconsciously squatted down as well and looked at the other person's situation with concern.

Fortunately, this was just the aftereffects of being too involved and feeling exhausted, coupled with the huge emotional fluctuations. Li Xi was relieved to see that Deng was not seriously injured.

"What? I don't understand at all!"

"I don't understand it either!" Li Xi listened to Aiyin's self-complaint in a tearful voice and echoed it.

Of course, the person with the biggest emotional fluctuations among them was naturally Su Shi. She now felt that her steps were empty, as if she couldn't step on solid ground.

"What's that..." Su Shi was still trying to save himself, "I'm here to end this band.

But...why...

I don’t understand you all anymore. I’ve been deceiving you all the time! And today I…”

In her excitement, Su Shi almost let the cat out of the bag and confessed her former accomplice, but fortunately she stopped herself at the last second and put all the blame on herself alone.

"And today I originally wanted to bring the bass here to give to you, to show you that I will never play the bass again, but why did you..."

"Even so." Hearing this, Deng quickly interrupted Su Shi's nonsense, "We still want to form a band for life. If Su Shi didn't think so, why did you give us your bass?

Isn't it just... to accompany everyone for the rest of their lives?"

"..."

No, does that even make sense?!

Su Shi felt that she had no way to defend herself. No matter how she refuted, she would feel like a tsundere girl who was actually behaving well but was unwilling to admit defeat.

But if I don't refute it...it seems to further deepen the former's setting.
