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

"You said you taught me that? I used to be the beloved Nanako in the entertainment industry, but now I've become like this. No matter how I think about it, it's all because of you, little bastard."

“…You are so shameless.”

"Humph."

Nanako glanced at her daughter unhappily, but at the same time she was also admiring the rare panic revealed in her daughter's eyes.

If the panic for Xiaoxiang was only a brief moment, then the panic now can be said to be unconcealable no matter how hard you try.

However, Nanako is not really worried, because although her husband is a bit traditional, traditional does not mean old-fashioned.

This is fundamentally different from that guy Ruoye.

As long as my daughter performs normally, it will probably only be a matter of time to convince the other party.

........

Shoko Toyokawa felt that the way to school today was very long.

She wasn't with Aine, because right now, there was only one word in her head: Solitudinis.

This is Ayano's name in mujica, which means "lonely".

Although she initially felt that Ayano herself gave people the impression that she was very lonely, and although she had good relationships with many people, there were actually very few people who could truly understand her spiritually.

Aine counts as one, and as for Xiangzi herself...she thinks she can count as half.

The main reason is that they haven't been together as long as Aine. Although she knows Ayano's personality and values, she has not participated in many past events and does not know what is hidden deep in Ayano's heart.

What.

But now this "loneliness" hit Xiangzi herself like a boomerang. She felt an unprecedented loneliness after losing Ayano.

Although Xiaomu and Chuhua are very good friends, they never have the same feeling as Ayano, that kind of direct feeling of expressing whatever is on their mind without any barriers.

Xiangzi suddenly felt that she might have been ill at some point in time. She imagined a Mizushima Ayano and regarded her as her closest friend.

The kind of savior who can completely accept and understand her, give her help and warmth.

This imaginary friend cannot be too rigid, so Ayano would tease her and make her laugh from time to time; this imaginary friend cannot be too frivolous, so Ayano would stay by her side at critical moments and lick her wounds.

Such a perfect person is indeed unlikely to be encountered by someone like her...

But Xiangzi still felt unwilling to give up, because she had already felt the beauty of this dream. She was greedy for its sweetness and could not help but indulge in it and become a dreamer for the rest of her life.

But reality told her that dreams are just dreams after all, just like when she passed by Class C of Grade 1, she didn't see that beautiful figure. In the real campus, she still had to follow the rules and go back to her class to attend classes.

Although the classes that day were not as good as the one that afternoon when Ayano lifted her bangs and taught her by sticking close to her body.

"Damn...I'm fantasizing again."

During the lunch break at noon, Xiangzi ate his lunch box alone, then knocked his head with his hand and cursed himself inwardly.

No, what she should do now is not to continue to be sad like this.

If Ayano could still see herself in her dream, she wouldn't want to be so weak, right?

She had already agreed to show her weak side only to Ayano, so now she couldn't be lost because of Ayano's disappearance.

She still has things to do, she needs to continue living, she has to pay Nanako's rent in the future, and she has to continue to subsidize the family with the money she earns from selling tickets for performances.

She...can't cry.

However, after putting away his lunch box, Xiangzi couldn't help but stand up, then staggered and followed his subconscious to the school's piano room, then sat on the piano bench, looking at the scenery outside the window silently.

"'For Saki'? Even though this is a dream, I still like this song."

Putting her fingers on the piano keys, Xiangzi began to play the two notes "re" and "mi" repeatedly, thinking about the words that Ayano had said to her:

'Because remember me, I hope... you can remember me for the rest of your life, Xiaoxiang.'

She remembers... always remembers and will never forget.

But why, as he played the piano, Xiangzi felt that he couldn't stop crying?

But...if Ayano was her imagination, does that mean that all the songs composed by Ayano were created by her, Toyokawa Shoko?

Sure enough, when people are sad and desperate, that is when geniuses are most likely to burst out with inspiration.

"Regarding tomorrow's schedule, I plan to arrive at five o'clock early. Chuhua, you have something to do later, right?"

"Yeah, that's been a big help."

At the back of the classroom, a conversation that seemed very unexpected to Shiina Riki was taking place. She turned around and saw that one of the people was naturally her good friend Hachiman Kailing.

As for the other one…isn’t that her truant tutor Sanjiao Chuhua?

When did these two become so close? They even addressed each other as "Chuhua" instead of "Sanjiao classmate."

"What's wrong?"

Hai Ling noticed Li Xi's gaze and asked curiously.

"……nothing."

Li Xi felt a little embarrassed when the fact that she was secretly watching was exposed on the spot, but her personality made her turn her head away naturally and cover up her embarrassment by looking at her mobile phone.

It was obvious that Hai Ling did not intend to miss such an opportunity to tease her friend. She walked directly to Li Xi's side and continued to ask:

"what happened?"

"...When did you and Sankaku-san become so close?"

"Ah~ Are you jealous?"

"……Why."

Li Xi sighed deeply. She felt that her good friend hadn't changed at all. She still said something that made her laugh and cry from time to time.

But she didn't think too deeply about it. Instead, she changed the subject and asked with concern, "How did your LIVE show go yesterday?"

"It went pretty smoothly, how about you guys?"

"……good."

Li Xi looked at the content displayed on the phone. It was the group of six people they had established before. Of course, after several rounds of personnel changes, it has finally returned to a size of five people.

Nagasaki Suyo also rejoined today through Aine's invitation.

"It seems the band's affairs have been resolved satisfactorily?"

"..." Li Xi was silent for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head helplessly, "It has been partially solved, but it has also been a considerable improvement."

"so

? ”

Hai Ling looked at Li Xi in front of her, who didn't seem very disappointed, but instead had an inexplicable sense of motivation. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and it was obvious that she was very satisfied with the current situation.

It was worth the deal she made with Ayano. She cooperated with her to tease Xiangzi, and Ayano helped her continue to enlighten Riki.

Although judging from the current progress, it seems that the best outcome is for Ayano to return to Riki's band, but Hailing feels that with Ayano's personality, she will probably come up with some method that ordinary people would never think of to solve all this.

"If you need any help, you can contact me anytime."

"...I guess it's not necessary for now."

"Hey~" Hai Ling said with a sly smile, "By the way, Polaris asked me to tell you that we can go to a live show together if we have the chance in the future. She also wants to meet your friends."

"Forehead……"

Hearing this, Li Xi was immediately conflicted.

But after thinking for a long time, she replied in an apologetic tone, "I'll tell her. If you run into her, please apologize for her as well. The main thing is... I want to wait until I've fulfilled my promise to her before meeting her."

If there is anyone besides the people around him who also hopes that Ayano can come back, it should be Sister Polaris, whom he has never met.

In fact, she was able to achieve this and have such determination because Polaris encouraged her and told her some specific methods.

So Lixi had made a decision long ago. She had to wait until Ayano returned to everyone before going to watch Polaris' performance in person, and then pull Ayano in front of Polaris to introduce them to each other.

"Okay then, if you've made up your mind, tell me and I'll prepare the internal tickets for you in advance."

"Well, thanks."

.........

Nagasaki Motoyo was walking on the way to RiNG, holding her mobile phone in her hand. If she unlocked it at this moment, she would find that its interface was still in Xiangzi's chat dialog box.

In fact, she really wanted to ask Xiaoxiang a lot of things.

But in the end, she suppressed her inner impulse, because she felt that if Xiaoxiang was willing to talk about the past with her, he would not just send this one message about Ayano and then stop.

Maybe... Xiaoxiang is not ready yet?

But to be honest, Su Shi felt that he was quite sorry for the person in charge of that company.

She just came out of the moving company, and it’s okay to even say that she was scolded... The reason was naturally that she suddenly ran over today and said she wanted to quit her job.

Su Shi still vividly remembered the other person's expression at that time. First, his mouth widened, and his pupils shrank sharply. Then his face suddenly turned red, and he slammed his right hand on the table, immediately launching a barrage of attacks that would break down a social animal's defenses.

Finally, he started laughing at himself, saying something like... "As expected, I knew it."

After Su Shi kept bowing and apologizing, she was able to walk out of the company safely.

Oh...it's too much.

Nagasaki Suyo is indeed a bad girl. She can really hurt others wherever she goes. She is still not mature enough. It is no wonder that Xiaoxiang said that she only has herself in her mind and is unable to take responsibility for other people's lives.

I am indeed too naive to be like this.

According to the recording studio room number that Li Xi sent in the group, Su Shi pushed the door and walked in with a not-very-happy and unhappy expression.

And when she saw the happy Aiyin feeding Lenai candy, she felt even more uncomfortable.

No... you and Ayano are still arguing! How can you be playing with a cat outside like this?

But this is also good... At least Aine has probably reconciled with herself and has probably decided to just play music well in the band and not bring any negative emotions here.

On Kelixi's side...

"Su Shi, you're here."

"You're so slow, and you didn't even tell us you were coming."

"…Then I'll leave?"

"Eh? That's not what I meant!" Aiyin said with some dissatisfaction, putting her hands on her hips.

"I want to do a LIVE."

"Uh..." Lenai's words made everyone present feel a little embarrassed.

But at this moment, Su Shi suddenly spoke.

"So, which song shall we practice next? Let's talk about it in advance..." Su Shi looked at everyone calmly and said firmly, "I won't play Kasuga Kage anymore, and neither will Shiori."

Both Kasuga Kage and Shiori hold great significance to Suyo, and she feels that performing Kosho and Ayano's song now would be too much.

Fortunately, the answer Riki gave was neither Kasuga Kage nor Shiori.

But it was a song that broke her defenses even more.

"We're going to play 'Escape from the Ground' this time." Riki was even worried that everyone was confused about which song it was, so he added, "It's the one Ayano left behind."

"no!"

"Why?" Li Xi frowned. She felt that Su Shi was being unreasonable.

"I can't play these three songs. Don't even think about it."

How could she accept Su Shi's arms crossed and asking her to continue doing things that would let Ayano down?

Chapter 209 Toyokawa Shoko Discovers the Truth (6 more)

Shoko Toyokawa felt that she was indeed a genius.

As expected,

How could there be a musical genius in the world who can know how to compose and play the piano just by dreaming, and at the same time has extraordinary comprehension and musical sense?

Such a person is indeed too outrageous, but if all of this is her imagination, then it is much more reasonable.

On the contrary, it indirectly shows that she is actually more powerful than she imagined, but... maybe there is something wrong with her mental state.

Xiangzi felt that he seemed to be beginning to have difficulty distinguishing between reality and dreams.
