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

She was naturally not surprised that Su Shi would block someone today. After all, when she sat down to drink tea with Su Shi last night, the other party's words and actions were equivalent to the words "I want to open the box" written on his face.

What surprised her was that Xiaoxiang actually took the initiative to ask her what she thought, which surprised Ayano a little.

As for the second thing, it was naturally after Xiaoxiang told her the address of Toyokawa's house, Ayano found that this place seemed to be a place that could be reached in less than 10 minutes by continuing to walk up in the direction of her home.

As soon as she arrived, she could see the grand villa building hidden in the darkness in the distance. It was no different from the residences of the young ladies described in those Japanese light novels.

What puzzled Ayano was that the lights in the villa were not off, and it was obvious that someone was still living inside.

Of course, no one knows who is inside, and Ayano is not curious. She will not find Xiangzi to find out the truth because of this matter.

Speaking of this, it is actually a sentence her mother taught her when she was a child.

Ayano doesn't know whether this sentence is the truth, but she has been silently adhering to this principle and living until now.

And her mother, who was known for her beauty and gentleness, said:

"Ayano-chan, remember, no matter who you make friends with in the future, don't ask about their family situation first. Checking their household registration is like prying into their privacy.

You make friends with her as a person, not her family background or other factors.

If you can feel that she and you are of the same kind in your daily interactions and that you can connect with each other, that is enough.'

Although this statement may not work for others, for someone like Ayano who is good at observing other people's personalities, many times she only needs to make sure that the other person is the type of person she approves of, and then everything else is insignificant.

Looking at the watch on her left wrist that Aine had given her before, Ayano silently found a thicker tree and hid under it.

The first person to appear was Xiaoxiang. From Ayano's perspective, Xiaoxiang's expression was very complicated at the moment, and there was a hint of nostalgia when he looked towards the villa.

Of course, the girl's face soon regained its composure. Carrying her schoolbag, she stood silently beside a fountain not far from Ayano. It seemed that she was planning to wait here for the resentful woman who came to open the box.

Ayano's purpose has always been very clear.

Or to put it more clearly, she wanted to take this opportunity to punish the girl named Nagasaki Suyo.

Whether it was because of Xiaoxiang or Aine, Ayano's impression of Su Shi was not very good. Of course, if you think about it carefully, Su Shi is just a paranoid self-admirer.

She should be said to be mostly pathetic rather than mostly hateful.

But no matter what, this is the best opportunity for Ayano to temporarily leave her current band and join Xiaoxiang's team.

On the one hand, doing so can help determine whether Aine really wants to continue staying in this band that seems to be in trouble.

Aiyin is not her pet. If the other party does not want the band to fall apart, she will not force her to follow her. Instead, she will try her best to repair this complicated situation.

Anyway, she is just Su Shi, who is easier to fool than Xiao Xiang. She will become obedient if you play with her a little more.

On the other hand, it is actually because Xiaoxiang’s current condition is too dangerous.

Although it seemed that Xiaoxiang opened his heart in front of him and let go of the past.

But in fact, she is still forced to move forward by a high level of self-pressure. This is like moving forward with a heavy burden, so naturally the journey is difficult.

Xiaoxiang needs to prove himself and also needs to use this to make himself live better, so Ayano can't let Xiangzi suffer a disastrous defeat right from the start.

Perhaps Xiaoxiang would still encounter setbacks later, and she couldn't keep interfering. But at least for the first time... Ayano didn't want those uncertainties to directly extinguish her hard-earned determination.

She will light the first fire, and the remaining flames will have to be ignited by Xiaoxiang himself.

"coming……"

Ayano had very good eyesight, so she saw two girls walking up the slope at a glance.

One is naturally Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo, and the other is a short, delicate and cute doll girl, who seems to be the girl named Wakaba Mutsu who was seen in the video.

Just like the impression given in the video, he had little expression from beginning to end, and stood aside as if he had lost his soul.

Is she the childhood sweetheart Xiangzi mentioned? Well... judging from her height, yes.

"Xiaoxiang...thank you for meeting me today."

As Suyo spoke, Ayano's phone also started the camera recording mode.

Her intuition told her that something shocking would be recorded today.

"Please don't blame Xiao Mu. Actually, I was the one who forced her to bring me here."

Seeing Xiangzi had his back to her and was silent, he looked a little nervous.

Su Shi still tried to maintain her usual tone of voice, trying not to get too excited.

Of course, facing Xiangzi who remained silent, even if she wanted to continue saying some polite words, they would seem very pale.

So he just got straight to the point. He took a half step closer to Xiangzi's back and said:

"I'm sorry, actually I just wanted to apologize to you in person.

We shouldn't have played "Kasuga Shadow"! That day we were just thinking of using two new songs, but who knew it would be because of Ayano..."

"What do you want to say?"

Xiangzi, who had been silent all the time, looked very unhappy when he heard Su Shi actually put the blame on Ayano.

It was just because she didn't turn her head, so Su Shi and Mu behind her didn't notice it.

"I mean, it was a complete accident, everyone just started playing, and I couldn't help it...

I'm sorry, did I make you sad?

It's normal that you don't want to forgive me. I played something very important to us without permission..."

"Don't pretend it's for me."

"Eh?"

"It's your freedom to play it. It has nothing to do with me how many times you play it."

Because Xiangzi was subjected to desensitization treatment every day by some bastard, he could be said to be very calm when he said this.

Apart from the strange idea of collecting copyright fees from Ayano that suddenly popped up in his mind, he didn't feel any special emotions.

If one had to explain why she was unwilling to turn around and look at Su Shi, it would only be that at the moment she was too contemptuous of Su Shi who was in such a miserable state, as if... he saw himself.

"no!"

Su Shi's pupils shrank, and he took a step forward. "That's the most important thing for us at Crychic..."

"It's shameful to keep holding on to the past."

In one sentence, he said goodbye to his past self and left the "past" behind him completely dumbfounded.

"You should have almost forgotten it."

"Why, why do you say that?"

Su Shi felt that she was already a little unsteady, and her whole body was trembling as if she was about to fall down, "We were so harmonious and happy before.

It would be strange if we suddenly went our separate ways, right?

Didn’t you say, Xiaoxiang, that a band is a community of shared destiny?

"Fate..." When Xiangzi heard this, the displeasure in his eyes became even more intense.

She turned around and looked coldly at Su Shi behind her, "So what about your current band?"

"That's different!"

Su Shi denied loudly. At this moment, Ayano's aggressive look flashed through her mind. She clenched her fists and said without thinking, "A-Ayano never really wanted to be with us, and...she said she also hopes you can come back, Xiangzi!"

Su Shi actually did not deliberately distort the facts, although what she said now did not seem to be true in Xiangzi's opinion.

"Isn't Ayano Xiaoxiang's good friend? She herself said she would leave... So Xiaoxiang, let's rebuild cry together..."

"How despicable."

"W-what?"

"I have to say that you make me feel very despicable right now." Xiangzi looked at Ayano who was ready to abandon her who had always attached so much importance to the band without hesitation, and she felt indignant.

In order to form a band, she could take her to buy a guitar immediately when the band was not even in existence.

Because of this agreement, I listened attentively all the time when I was studying. My attitude did not seem like that of a layman who had no sense of music before. Instead, I seemed like a dehydrated person who could not survive without music.

She had also talked to Ayano about everything about the new band that day, and knew how much effort Ayano had put in to prevent everyone from falling apart under such high-pressure environment.

Even Ai Ne, whom she always found annoying, was working hard.

But what did Su Shi do?

Because she couldn't get over the past, she wanted to hurt all the normal people living in the present? She used to think Su Shi was just a coward, but now it seems...

"Give up. Crychic is impossible to rebuild."

Xiangzi is now wondering whether Ayano and Aine are no longer suitable to stay with Suye.

Oh no, forget about Aine, her skills are too poor.

In terms of technique, it seems that the rhythm guitarist whose name I don't know is more suitable? No, no, no... Xiao Mu should be the rhythm guitarist.

But wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate to think about these things in front of Xiao Mu?

Just when Xiangzi seemed to be making a "painful decision" in crychic's memories, but was actually thinking about the more distant future, Su Shi beside her could not help but continue to speak under her imagination:

"But I'm not the only one who wants you to come back, Aya..."

Seeing that Xiangzi's face was very unhappy when she mentioned Ayano, Su Shi quickly changed the subject:

"Xiao Deng and Li Xi are also looking forward to it. I also plan to ask Xiao Mu to come along, and then let Xiao Xiang go back..."

"What about Aine?"

"...Huh?" Su Shi was stunned. "Xiao Xiang, how do you know Ai Yin?"

Why did she suddenly feel that among these people, she seemed to be the only outsider who knew nothing?

It was as if an invisible hand was controlling her, separating her from everyone else.

Chapter 114 Ayano, I will never abandon you (2/2)

"How should I know? This is none of your business."

"I……"

Su Shi's pupils suddenly shrank. Many questions and possibilities flashed through her mind, and finally she settled on the only answer that pointed to Xiangzi knowing Aine's name.

——Ayano.

No, no, it's just a name and it's not a big deal. Besides, maybe Xiangzi is acting so resistant now because of the intervention of Aine, Ayano and others?

"I just want everyone to come back together. Xiao Mu, you think so too, right?"

The despicable Su Shi once again habitually used her extremely skilled trick of expressing her own thoughts through other people's mouths.

But this time she did not get what she wanted, but instead encountered an unexpected setback on the scene.

"I……"

Although she didn't finish her words, her evasive eyes and low voice let the people present know the green-haired girl's true thoughts.

"How, how could that be? Am I the only one who thinks this way? No, no..."

"But... weren't you, Xiaoxiang, the one who originally founded crychic?"

Looking at the crumbling Su Shi and the look that seemed unwilling to give up, Xiangzi decided to put an end to the matter once and for all.

"So I ended it myself."

“It’s not over yet!”

A sudden loud roar almost scared Ayano, who was watching the fun from a distance. Fortunately, there were no leaves on the ground where she was hiding, otherwise she would have fallen on the spot.

But even though it was for fun...Ayano didn't seem to be very happy.

Whether it was Xiangzi who was trying hard to appear heartless, or Su Shi who was unable to crawl out of the swamp, she couldn't help but sigh.

And there's also an indescribable feeling of suffocation...

So what kind of melodrama is this? Can it be a little more exciting?

"I've worked so hard until today just for crychic!"

While Ayano was hiding behind a tree and recording the video, Suyo, who was in a broken state, had already begun to make her final efforts.

It’s a pity that Xiaoxiang’s heartless look really makes people feel desperate, especially when they have already decided to move forward.

"No one asked you to do this. This is your final ultimatum. Please never have anything to do with me again."

After saying that, Xiaoxiang slowly moved out of the range of the camera lens. Ayano, who was far away, had not yet decided whether to choose one of the two as the center to continue recording, when she found that Su Shi, who was still in the center of the camera, had already started her actions.
