I just want a single ending

Page 144

"Okay, enough of the nonsense, it's almost time for us to rehearse."

After putting away his phone, Shiina Riki did not forget the important business of today and reminded others.

"Ah."

After agreeing one after another, they walked into the practice room that had been booked in advance.

Several members of the ending band who were serving as judges also followed in.

After plugging her guitar into the speakers, Chihaya Aine said nervously, "I'm a little scared to be stared at like that. I hope you don't mind if I don't perform well later."

This is a lie.

She was just surrounded by her friends watching her performance, but she didn't feel nervous or anxious at all. Instead, she was full of motivation.

The reason for saying that is to lower their expectations of themselves.

In this way, even if the performance is not good, there will be no criticism with this advance explanation.

Once they perform normally, they will definitely feel super awesome since their expectations have been lowered. They were just being modest.

How can I not lose anything?

"..."

Gao Songdeng, holding the microphone in his hand, looked at himself in the mirror with a blank look, as if he had just come to his senses.

I still don't have any inspiration, I still can't think of the right lyrics, I still only have "Spring Shadow"...

His eyes swept over Shiina Tatsuki who was adjusting the drum set, Nagasaki Soyo who was doing a sound check, Chihaya Aine who was adjusting her look in front of the mirror, Kaname Rakuna who was ready, and the ending band and Kamikawa Susumu who were standing near the door as judges.

Gao Songdeng couldn't help but clench his hand holding the microphone.

Since I can't write the lyrics myself, at least I can't hold the band back in the next performance.

This is the only thing she can do now.

“It feels like being a judge.”

Ijichi Hongxia is very interested in this kind of thing and is looking forward to the next performance.

"Yes, this is the first time I see other bands rehearsing!" Kita Ikuyo was also very excited.

If she could take pictures, she would have taken out her cell phone and started taking pictures non-stop.

Yamada Ryo didn't say anything because she was still eating the snacks she hadn't finished.

"Will we rehearse like this in the future when we finish our band?"

Looking at them who were preparing in an orderly manner, Goto Ichiri, who hid himself in a corner, couldn't help but feel excited.

"Okay."

Shiina Riki was familiar with the drum set here and said to the other members of the band and Kamikawa Susumu.

"Then it's up to you to decide when to start."

As the operator, Shangchuan Su has inexplicably very little power.

They don't even have the ability to decide when they start playing.

As he said this, the room fell into silence for a short time, and then the prelude of "Spring Shadow" sounded in perfect tacit understanding, just like they had rehearsed before.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gao Songdeng sang the lyrics without hesitation:

"悴んだ心ふるえる灗世界で"

(Withered heart, wavering eyes, this world)

"Servant はひとりぼっちだったsanることしか知らない春は"

(I am alone in this ever-fading spring)

"...?!"

After hearing just the first few sentences, Shiina Riki's expression changed instantly, and he looked at Takamatsu Deng who was standing in the front with great worry.

No, not at all.

Takamatsu Deng's condition was extremely off, and was not at the level she had in previous rehearsals.

Not only Shiina Tatsuki, but the other members of the band also heard that there was something wrong with Takamatsu Touma's singing.

But the playing had already begun and there was no way to stop.

"this……?"

Ijichi Hongxia, who was originally smiling, became serious.

"The lead singer's emotions weren't right. He was trying too hard, singing non-stop, as if he was trying to prove something," Yamada Ryo commented seriously. "But the effect wasn't actually good. It even had the opposite effect, lowering the overall level."

Kita Ikuyo looked at Takamatsu Touma with eyes full of worry.

Even she could hear the problem, which was enough to show how big the problem was.

"..."

Goto Ichiri shifted his gaze from Chihaya Aine and Kaname Rakuna to Takamatsu Touma.

There is no problem with the guitar skills of both of them on this song.

As for Takamatsu Tou?

It's a bit too weird.

[Interrupt the performance]

Let the music continue

Kamikawa Su naturally heard that there was something wrong with Takamatsu Touma's singing, and was now hesitating which option of the system to choose.

There were many mistakes in the performance in the past, such as when Lenai suddenly changed the composition and played a random passage, or when Chihaya Aine couldn't keep up with the rhythm.

But there were no system options at those times, but they appeared at this time. Doesn’t this mean that there is a big problem?

If that's the case, then I should stop it.

But now they are just rehearsing, and letting the finishing band come to watch is to find out the shortcomings.

Now that the shortcomings have appeared, is it really okay to just stop it?

In theory, all we need to do is remind Takamatsu Deng after the performance.

"..."

Time is running out and a decision must be made.

As the interlude was about to end and Takamatsu Touma was preparing to sing the next section, Kamikawa Supo's cell phone rang suddenly, instantly interrupting the performance.

As if he had found a reasonable excuse, Shiina Riki immediately stopped what he was doing and said to him in a disgruntled tone, "What's wrong with you? Don't you know your phone should be on silent?"

Chapter 185: Life is quite long

"I'm sorry, I accidentally forgot."

Kamikawa Su quickly apologized to them, then took out his cell phone, pretended to answer a call, and walked out of the practice room.

As soon as he walked out the door, he turned off the alarm clock.

He finally chose to interrupt the performance because it was not at Takamatsu Deng's normal level.

[Strength plus 50]

'What's the matter with her?'

As Kamikawa Su walked towards the bar, he was thinking about how she could have been in that situation.

Is it because the lyrics haven’t been written?

Thinking about how she has been obsessed with lyrics recently, Kamikawa Su made this guess.

If that's the case, it's not going to be easy.

No matter how capable he is, he can't inspire others to write satisfactory lyrics.

Fortunately, apart from today, there is no other time this week to rehearse.

I hope Takamatsu Deng can take this opportunity to adjust himself, get back into shape, and try to write the lyrics or stop worrying about the lyrics.

Otherwise, if we continue like this, the problem will get bigger and bigger.

···

"Really? He actually forgot to mute his phone at such a critical moment. He's still an operations manager."

Shiina Riki's words were full of dissatisfaction with him, but in her heart she was extremely grateful to him.

She was not stupid, so she could see that he did it on purpose, with the intention of interrupting the performance.

After all, this kind of situation had never happened to him during previous practice, nor had it happened when others made mistakes. But today, when the band was about to finish and Takamatsu Deng made a serious mistake, his cell phone suddenly rang.

If that's the case, isn't it a bit too coincidental?

She didn't believe this could be a coincidence.

"It's not a big deal, there's no need to be angry. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and this is the first time Su has forgotten."

Chihaya Aine was the first to stand up to defend Kamikawa Supo, and at the same time prevent anyone from raising the issue of Takamatsu Touma's singing.

Of course, she could also see that he did it on purpose.

"Maybe Su is not used to it. After all, we used to practice in Ring's practice room. This is his first time here, so he didn't react." Nagasaki Suyo immediately echoed and helped him find an excuse.

"Return?"

Chihaya Aine noticed the change in the name.

"what happened?"

Nagasaki Suyo turned her head and looked over, her expression slightly puzzled.

"No, nothing."

Chihaya Aine shook her head.

She remembered that Nagasaki Suyo used to call Kamikawa Susumu "Kamikawa-kun", so how come he suddenly became Susumu like herself?

When did the relationship between the two of them become so good?

However, there should be nothing to worry about.

It's just a name, and too many people use it.

For example, Takamatsu Touma, Ijichi Nijika, Yamada Ryo and others.

This is not a special name.
