Teacher Daxiang, let’s form a lifelong band!

Yes, even if Toyokawa Shoko is willing to accept the professionalization of crychic, the other members of the band may not agree.

"Besides, is Crychic's professionalism really for professionalism? Or is it for your own sake?" Soyo, you really have never thought about others. Lu Li is the same, and neither are the people at Crychic."

"I'll ask everyone. If everyone agrees..." you said.

"If everyone agrees, I don't mind." Toyokawa Shoko glanced at you. She had agreed to your terms, so she wouldn't refuse you.

So, you started discussing the professionalization of crychic with the other three members of the band.

However, professionalism isn't something you can just talk about. Everyone in the band politely declined your suggestion. They all have their own life plans. For them, crychic can exist, but they certainly haven't envisioned turning it into a professional band.

You failed. Just like what Toyokawa Shoko said, even if she agreed, no one else would agree.

Crychic is so important to you, so you plead with Toyokawa Shoko: "Shoko, please, help me. I don't want to be separated from everyone. Without everyone, I..."

【However, this time, Toyokawa Shoko shook her head. 】

"Soyo, I can't influence everyone's opinions. This time, I can't help you..."

"Why?! Xiangzi, you promised me. You said that if I gave Lu Li to you, you would let Crychic survive!"

"Yes, I promised you that I would do my best to keep crychic alive forever. However, there are some things I can't do alone, right?"

After saying this, Toyokawa Shoko sighed and left. After walking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and walked back to your side.

[“Oh, I forgot about that.”]

[Toyokawa Shoko said as she took out a red invitation from her backpack.]

"Next month, I'm getting married to Lu Li."

Volume 1: Chapter 65: Wedding Song

【“?!”】

【marry?!】

[The moment you heard this word, your pupils contracted violently.]

[Lu Li is going to marry Xiangzi? ]

[Why so fast? Isn't Xiangzi only a freshman in college this year? Why?]

As if anticipating your doubts, Toyokawa Shoko calmly replied, "I've already decided that I will only love Lu Li in this life. Since I've already made up my mind, what difference does it make whether we get married earlier or later? You should grab the things you love early on. Otherwise, once you lose them, you might never get them back. Isn't that right, Soyo?"

【“…”】

[Toyokawa Shoko's words are like a sharp knife piercing your heart. If you like something, you must grab it early, otherwise once you lose it, you can never get it back. Isn't this the truest portrayal of you?]

"Also, Crychic's training will be slightly changed in the next few weeks. I'll let you know the details in the next few days. That's all. Bye."

[Toyokawa Shoko left, she left proudly like a victor, leaving you standing there blankly with your eyes empty.]

You suddenly feel helpless and want to find someone to vent to, to talk to, but you suddenly realize that you can't even find someone to listen to you.

You are sick, you have asked for leave from university, you live in your room and never go out again. This time you are not crazy, you just don't want to face the future anymore.

"Hello, is this Soyo-san?"

[On the third day after you took leave, Gao Songdeng took the initiative to call you.]

"Soyo-san, it's me, Deng. I'm sorry, Soyo-san. I've thought carefully about the previous question about professionalization, and I think we can actually give it a try..."

You were ecstatic when you received the call. It turns out that Gao Songdeng's previous rejection of the professional path was simply because you suggested it too hastily. At the time, she didn't react and subconsciously thought that Crychic's professional approach wasn't suitable for her. After thinking it over carefully these past few days, she realized that professionalism seemed like a good path for her.

"Really?! Tomori-chan, are you really willing to accept the professionalization of crychic?"

"Hmm, let me give it a try!"

[Tōrō Takamatsu is actually willing to go professional. If Tōrō Takamatsu is willing to accept this, then it also means that Tatsuki Shiina, who has always been following Tōrō Takamatsu, will also accept it. Counting you and Shoko Toyokawa, four of the five members of the band have already agreed to go professional, so that only Mutsu Wakaba is left.]

"If I just ask, Mutsumi-chan will definitely accept!" you think.

[crychic is not over yet. As long as we embark on the path of professionalism, we can still be together! ]

You were very excited. You immediately contacted Toyokawa Shoko and told her what Takamatsu Tomo had meant. After hearing what you said, Toyokawa Shoko was not surprised at all.

"Well, since Tomori agreed, let's just follow his method. If we want to be professional, we have to be serious. It just so happens that I wrote a new song recently. Lu Li and I's wedding is coming up soon. How about having everyone play this new song as crychic's first professional work?"

"Of course, I won't be participating in this song for now, as it's going to be performed at my wedding with Lu Li, so I'll have to trouble the four of you to perform it."

"Okay!" You agreed readily. It was just a new song, but you vowed to practice it well and perform it brilliantly at Xiangzi's wedding.

Toyokawa Shoko sent you the bass part. Since we're all college students now, it's hard to practice together in the ring like before, so now you often practice by each practicing your own part and then finding an opportunity to perform together later.

"I've sent you your part, and everyone else's part as well. This piece isn't difficult. Just perform it together 2-3 hours before my wedding day."

You received the bass sheet music sent to you by Toyokawa Shoko. Although it didn't have lyrics, you could tell it was a very gentle piece of music. You tried it on the bass and it was great.

"I understand. I'll try my best!"

You hung up the phone with Toyokawa Shoko. You just happened to have asked for leave from school, so now you have plenty of time to practice...

......

As you all entered university, your relationship with Toyokawa Shoko gradually grew stronger. Finally, one ordinary night, you and Toyokawa Shoko took a shower as usual and walked back to your bedroom from the bathroom. In the bedroom, you used a hairdryer to dry each other's hair. Then, you lay together, with your body pressed against yours. Toyokawa Shoko said to you seriously, "Lu Li, let's get married."

【Toyokawa Shoko proposed to you. 】

You had no reason to refuse, so you agreed.

[After agreeing, you asked, "What about crychic?"]

"Are you still concerned about Soyo?" Toyokawa Shoko knew you were asking about Nagasaki Soyo, but she wasn't angry.

"A little bit. After all, she was someone I liked before." You didn't hide it, and said it directly.

"Let's leave crychic alone. This band is just a club, like a club. If it can continue, we'll continue. If it can't, we'll slowly disband. But I promised Soyo that I'll at least keep this band going for as long as I can."

"This is all because of me. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's not hard. It's all worth it just to be with you."

A few days later, you heard Toyokawa Shoko say that Crychic seemed to be going professional. It was said that this was all the result of Nagasaki Soyo's hard work. Upon hearing this news, you were happy for Soyo. Although the road to professionalism was difficult, at least Soyo's life would be better. However, all you could do was feel happy for Soyo. After all, she had nothing to do with you now. You were more concerned about your wedding with Shoko next month.

"By the way, Lu Li, I rewrote the lyrics for a song you used to hum in front of me and gave it to Soyo and the others. You can look forward to our wedding~"

Volume 1: Chapter 66 Guests

[Toyokawa Shoko told you mysteriously that she had prepared a song especially for you and asked you to look forward to it. You doted on Toyokawa Shoko, now your fiancée, and patted her head. You asked her what the song was.]

“It’s a great song, and it’s a song that brings everything to an end.”

[The song that brings everything to an end?]

[After hearing what Toyokawa Shoko said, you wondered, what is the song that can bring everything to an end?]

"Xiangzi, you're not thinking about anything weird, are you?"

In the bathtub, Shoko Toyokawa sits between your legs, feeling the bliss of your bodies overlapping. She rests her head on your chest and blushes as she replies, "No, it's a really great song."

[Of course, this song wasn't a strange one. She just wanted to get something back for her fiancé...]

[Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it’s the day you and Toyokawa Shoko get married.]

Your wedding will be held in a hall. You and Toyokawa Shoko aren't very well off right now. Shoko's light novel writing skills are only mediocre, and while you're also writing, Shoko still has debts to pay from his father. Your wedding won't be extravagant, but at least it won't be shabby either.

"Lu Li, when we have enough money in the future, I'll give you a bigger wedding." Knowing that it was her fault that delayed your wedding, Toyokawa Shoko felt a little guilty.

"Silly boy, we're husband and wife after today. There's no need to make amends..."

[Hearing your words, Toyokawa Shoko happily leaned on your shoulder. She was very glad, glad for her choice, glad that she had snatched you away from Nagasaki Suyo.]

"Something good will happen during the ceremony later," Toyokawa Shoko said.

【"What good news?" You asked curiously. 】

"You'll know soon..."

Toyokawa Shoko spoke to you mysteriously. Her expression caught your attention, and you were curious about what kind of music she had arranged for crychic to play.

[But you didn't care. No matter what kind of music it was, it wouldn't affect your wedding with Xiangzi.]

[And so, not long after, the wedding officially began.]

On the platform, a nun in white robes looked calmly at Toyokawa Shoko: "Ms. Toyokawa Shoko, are you willing to marry this man? Are you willing to love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, no matter what happens, whether in sickness or in health, no matter what difficulties arise, and remain faithful to him until the end of your life?"

"I am willing!"

Without any hesitation, Shoko Toyokawa nodded.

"Then Mr. Lu Li, can you please use your gentle patience to care for your wife, respect her, love her, always respect her family, and swear to stay with her forever no matter what happens?"

"I would like that too."

Without hesitation, Lu Li also nodded with a smile.

After seeing the two people's answers, a smile appeared on the nun's calm face: "Well, now I declare in the name of God that from this moment on, you will officially become husband and wife!"

At this moment, there was loud applause from the audience, and just after the applause ended, Shoko Toyokawa turned around and looked at all the guests with a smile.

"Everyone, before the banquet begins, please enjoy a piece of music. This music will be played by my best friends."

song?

When the guests heard the bride say this, their eyes lit up. Many of the people who came here today were alumni and friends of Toyokawa Shoko. Everyone knew that Toyokawa Shoko was in a band. Most of them had heard the songs of Crychic. Everyone recognized the level of Crychic, so everyone was looking forward to what kind of wonderful performances the other four members of Crychic would bring at Toyokawa Shoko's wedding today.

While everyone was waiting, the staff had already brought the necessary musical instruments to the stage. Then, to everyone's surprise, four beautiful girls in bridesmaid costumes walked onto the stage from the side.

"It's so beautiful."

When the four members came on stage, the guests exclaimed in amazement. Crychic is already a beautiful girl band, and now the four members wearing exquisite white bridesmaid dresses are even more beautiful and charming.

"What beautiful band members! I feel like I'm captivated by them even without even hearing the songs! I declare that from now on I'm their chef!"

"Look at the lead singer. He looks so cute standing there."

"The guitarist had a dull expression, giving people the impression of an ice beauty."

"The guitarist is the eldest daughter of the Wakaba family. If you say anything wrong, you might get sunk into Tokyo Bay~"

"Stop talking nonsense, everyone. The music is about to start. Just listen quietly!"

Everyone's eyes were focused on the four people on the stage, and then the lead singer Deng Takamatsu gently raised the microphone.

[How many winters have passed since we broke up? What day is it today? I still think of you sometimes.]

"Hey, is there something wrong with this song?!"

As soon as the first line of lyrics came out, someone noticed something was wrong.

[He gently kneels on one knee and slowly places the diamond ring on your ring finger.]

[When everyone was happy for you, I suddenly realized that there was no relationship between us anymore~]

[Thank you for your special invitation to come and witness your love. I always remind myself not to escape.]

[The best forever has become the past, I try to wish you the best from the bottom of my heart.]

[Please forgive my rudeness and lack of ambition for choosing to excuse myself. I will leave first...]

"Hey, this song, isn't it a bad choice?"

The guests were all stunned. This song didn't look like a song to bless a newlywed couple, right?

This is clearly a song about literature about exes?!

"Hey, wait, is that bassist lady on the stage crying?!"

"It seems to be true, huh?"

"Let me see, eh, it seems to be true?"

"Who chose this song? This is a wedding, right? Is there a mistake?"

"What's going on? Why is this kind of song being sung at a wedding?"

The other three members of crychic who were playing also noticed something was wrong. They had only received the part of their own music score given by Xiangzi in advance, and were just called by Xiangzi to help, so they had not had time to play together to see the effect. But they never expected that the result of the performance would be like this.

Lu Li looked at Toyokawa Xiangzi: "Xiangzi, is this your arrangement? Is this necessary?"
