A guide to survival in a heavy girl's world

Toyokawa Shoko blushed slightly and cleared her throat:

"Also, this is Tetsuya-kun and my sponsor, and she's Sakurakouji Luna, who will be attending school with me next year."

"...Actually, there's no need for you to introduce me, Fengchuan."

Sakurakouji Luna, who was watching from the side, shook her head.

However, since she has been mentioned, she naturally has to complete the minimum social process.

"Hello, I'm Sakurakouji Luna."

"Ah, hello... My name is Takamatsu Tomo... I'm a friend of Shoko's..."

"kindness."

After saying that, Sakurakoji Luna turned around and looked at the stage again. On the other side, Takamatsu Deng, who was worried that he might be unpopular, couldn't help but reveal a worried expression.

"It's okay, Deng, she just doesn't like interacting with others."

Fortunately, Shoko Toyokawa came forward in time to help her solve this confusion.

"Rather than that, don't just stand there. Come and sit down."

After saying that, she gestured for Gao Songdeng to sit next to her.

When Takamatsu Deng saw this, she looked at Sakurakoji Luna hesitantly at first, and only after confirming that she did not look at her with disdain did she finally sit down.

Then, after a brief hesitation, Takamatsu Tomo spoke to Toyokawa Shoko again:

"That... Xiangzi."

"what happened?"

"Have you officially dropped out of Hanegaoka now?"

"Well, yes."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded.

"I'm currently taking fashion lessons at Sakurakouji's house, preparing for my enrollment at Filia next year."

"That's it..."

Gao Songdeng nodded with a sense of loss.

"Although it's something worth celebrating, I still feel... a little regretful."

"why?"

"Because, even though I finally reconciled with Xiangzi, I didn't have the chance to say a few more words to you at school..."

Gao Songdeng lowered his head and said:

"If only I could be more proactive at school."

"There's no need to feel sorry for such a small thing, right?"

Toyokawa Shoko said with some confusion:

"It's not like we'll never see each other again."

"That's true, but... the time we spent together as high school classmates will only last for three years at most in our entire lives, right?"

Gao Songdeng whispered:

"Actually, back in junior high, I'd always dreamed of going to the same school as Xiangzi, Suze, and Mu. And now... even though we finally resolved the misunderstanding and became friends again, it feels so bad to have lost sight of what I once dreamed of."

"lamp……"

For Toyokawa Shoko, Takamatsu Touma's extraordinary sensibility is extremely precious and special.

Back then, she was captivated by Takamatsu Touma's diary and decided to turn her recorded feelings into lyrics. And now, the idols in the audience were singing a love song that was personally penned by Takamatsu Touma, a song that even the singer herself approved of.

Although in the eyes of many people, Deng's excessive sentimentality makes her appear particularly timid and sensitive compared to others, for a creator and singer, this sentimentality can be said to be her most unique talent.

It is precisely because of this that Toyokawa Shoko became more determined to "let go" of Takamatsu Deng.

"It's a shame to say this, but Deng, please forgive me for not being able to empathize with you."

Toyokawa Shoko said:

"The gap between our experiences and personalities is simply too great. Although we can sympathize and understand each other, we can't ultimately walk the same path. The pressure I carry prevents me from pouring as much emotion into the trivialities of daily life as you do. The world you see shouldn't be shared with someone like me who is trapped by reality. And this is precisely why I invited you here today."

"Next... please, as the soul of [MyGO!!!], continue to sing with your unique sensibility. Your voice, your feelings, everything in your mind, will surely be able to reach as many people as I did when I first read your diary. When that happens, even you, who have always been unable to directly perceive others' emotions, will surely understand the preciousness and significance of your talent when facing a stage like this one."

"..."

Gao Songdeng was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then he said:

"I heard that Xiangzi is also going to form a new band..."

"kindness."

"So, Xiangzi no longer needs my lyrics?"

Gao Songdeng has always admired the mentor who personally led her to the band. That's why, when she heard that Xiangzi wanted her to write lyrics for a new song not long ago, she was particularly serious and hardworking.

This is not only to repay Mr. Chihaya who gave him the courage, but also to collaborate with Xiangzi after a long time since the [CRYCHIC] era.

Although she already knew that she and Xiangzi were destined to no longer be able to perform as partners in the same band, she always held on to the idea that there might be a chance for him to write lyrics for her in the future.

Now, as Xiangzi officially left Yuqiu and started preparing a new band, Gao Songdeng understood that perhaps the two of them had really gone down two different paths.

"This, maybe it is still necessary."

Just when Gao Songdeng was ready to face the heartbreaking answer, Xiangzi gave a rather ambiguous answer.

"My new band is planning to go the ballad and metal route, but there's a chance that some ballads will appear. If that happens, I might even ask you to write lyrics for me."

"……Eh?"

Gao Songdeng was stunned after hearing this.

"That means you didn't mean to sever ties with me by saying that..."

"? Why break up? I just wanted to say that you're more suitable for [MyGO!!!!] than my [Ave Mujica], and I wanted to cheer you on."

In response to Takamatsu Deng's question, Fengchuan said with a puzzled look:

"Eh? Did what I just said sound like I was saying goodbye to you? But I clearly said, 'It's not like we'll never see each other again'..."

"No, nothing, I just overthink things."

Gao Songdeng blushed and shook his head after hearing this.

"Because of what happened last year, I always feel that whenever Xiangzi talks to me seriously, it means he wants to say goodbye to me... I'm sorry."

"Now that you've said that, I'm the one who should apologize more..."

Toyokawa Shoko shook her head helplessly.

"Forget it, forget it. Let's finish watching the live show together first... We can talk about it later if there's anything else."

"……kindness."

Gao Songdeng nodded first, and then after maintaining a very brief seriousness, he finally couldn't help but smile.

“…We’ll talk about it later.”

"..."

Wakaba Mu, who had been watching this scene silently from the beginning, nodded, and then looked at the stage with peace of mind.

[Hey, I want to talk about something I haven’t said for a long time]

[I'm not sure, but there should be more time, right?]

[After this time, there should be a long time to come, right? ]

"...Your lyrics are really good, Deng."

"Mu, Mu's guitar is amazing too!"

"Don't force yourself to praise something you don't understand at all."

"Yes, yes... I'm so sorry..."

"It's not like I need to apologize."

Well, at least compared to herself, Aine-san is indeed a more suitable guitarist for her.

After this live, [MyGO! ! ! ! !]

The popularity of the game will surely reach a new level.

Next, in the project that Xiangzi mentioned, only [Ave Mujica] had not been completed.

(…Now, it’s my turn to try harder.)

Looking at the people on the stage, Ruo Yemu thought so in his heart.

44

Chapter 44 ends with Live only.

After the super-stunning performance of [Air], [Galaxy Light] served as the encore song and completed the finale perfectly.

Because it was a love song imbued with fantasy and romance, the excitement in the audience gradually subsided, and they regained their composure under the two idols' incredibly gentle and delicate performance. Especially Hoshino Ai! Unlike her godlike, dazzling presence just moments before, the endearing smile she flashed from time to time during this encore, the hint of a smile in her eyes, captivated the entire audience.

Another surprise was that, despite appearing to be a group of high school-aged girls, the accompanying band's skills were far superior to their expectations. Coupled with their idol-worthy cuteness, many in the audience began to secretly harbor a strong curiosity about their true identities...

However, whether it was satisfaction, excitement, or anticipation, this wonderful performance finally came to an end. Just as the weather forecast predicted, when the live performance ended, the thunderstorm outside had already stopped.

This live performance, which was worthy of being recorded in the history of idol culture, finally came to an end under the clear night sky after the rain clouds dispersed.

When the audience left the K-Arena and breathed in the fresh air outside the window that smelled of the sea breeze, they suddenly felt as if they were in another world.

Just like the fleeting shadow left when looking directly at the sun, the dizzying bustle and the two figures on the stage, like stars in the night sky, were unforgettable long after leaving the venue.

For all who attended this live performance, the experience has become a cherished memory they will never forget. Those who watched the live performance online are certain that the number of views of this concert recording will continue to expand at an unimaginable rate in the coming days. Those who are familiar with the idol industry are even more deeply aware that a legend in the idol world, a group that will one day be called "national-level," has been born tonight.

At this time, in the [K-Arena] venue, all the staff of this Live were applauding and celebrating for today's miraculous Live.

"thanks everyone!"

"Ah~ It's really not easy. When the power went out just now, I was so scared that I couldn't even walk."

"Speaking of which, who was that person talking to the lights on the intercom just now? Why haven't I heard that voice before?"

After hearing everyone's questions, the lighting engineer took the initiative to say:

"Oh, it's the designer who made the clothes for those two idols. Since we worked together on the lighting plan, he was able to come up with a solution based on the on-site conditions immediately after the power outage."

"Hey, that's amazing... His reaction speed is even faster than those of us who have been on stage for several years."

The sound engineer at the time said in surprise:

"Is this designer still here? Let's ask him if he wants to attend our celebration party tonight."

"I'm afraid that won't work."

The lighting engineer shook his head.

"After all, Chihaya is only nineteen years old this year, not old enough to drink with us..."

Amidst the sighs of admiration for Chihaya Tetsuya's youth and potential, the lighting technician's tone did not express any regret at all.

"However, he told me before that he wanted to hold a fashion show here in the future. When that happens, we can bring him along to the cocktail party."

"A fashion show? That's really exciting."

"It's much easier to arrange a fashion show than a concert."

The staff of [K-Arena] all look forward to working with this hero who saved the entire Live from danger again.

……

At the same time, the agency contacted Chihaya Tetsuya immediately after the live ended.

"A week from now, we'll be holding a private celebration party in Ginza. Besides our president's friends, there will also be people from the entertainment and fashion industries attending. Remember to come."

The agent said:

“For your brand, this is a valuable opportunity to connect with more people.”

"Ah... yes!"
