A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

However, this simulation still talks about things that happen in the future, and it also contains content about Aoi's life plan. It is normal for her grandmother, who is a singer, to look down on girl bands. It is also normal to think that she hopes Aoi can debut as a mainstream singer.

So this is a possible future, but it is not certain whether Aoi has the courage to actually run away from home.

How can I still be overwhelmed by reality even though I’ve already reached the simulation?

Aoi felt a little depressed for a moment, and for this not very important option, she randomly chose an option that she really liked.

"Subaru-chan, can you take me in? I'll help with the chores and even the cooking! You can leave all the little things around the house to me!"

You said this to Subaru with a sincere gaze. She didn't seem to expect such an answer to her casual question. She stared at you in surprise for a moment, unable to utter a word.

An and Subaru's favorability increased by 2, and the current favorability is 72. 】

In fact, this is also one of the manifestations of Aoi's character. In her opinion, if everyone is a very good friend, then it doesn't matter if they rely on each other more, so that they can go on for a longer time.

Of course, there was also a reason why she didn't dare to choose the two options above and automatically ruled out the last option. The concept of being a good student and a good child in two lives was deeply engraved in her mind, making her dare not mention the three words "not attending school" at all.

But... why did Subaru's favorability increase so quickly? Was it because we were childhood friends? Or was it because he felt lonely living alone in such a big house?

It doesn’t matter what happens, as long as the situation like what happened to Su Shi at that time doesn’t happen again, everything will be fine.

[The awkward atmosphere didn't last long. Soon, Subaru couldn't help laughing and teasing you about selling yourself to her as a maid.

However, she still agreed to you and said that no matter what you said, you can stay with her if you have nowhere to go. At the same time, she gave you some advice from the perspective of a senior, hoping that you would talk to your family first. You can do what your family wants while doing what you like in private. This is actually not a conflict.

In this regard, she revealed to you that she has recently formed an underground band. Her bandmates are a professional band guitarist and a lead singer who dropped out of high school. The music is very personal and the people are very unique. If you are interested in the band, you can also go with her to take a look.

You gladly agreed to the suggestion and made an appointment to go with Subaru to meet her bandmates after school the next day.

So, you settled down at Subaru's house that day, and got up early the next day to make a breakfast and lunch box for Subaru that was considered to have a very balanced nutritional value. When she got up later, she was a little stunned to see you busy in the kitchen with an apron on, as if she didn't expect you to really put that "maid declaration" into practice.

When the morning was over, you each went your separate ways to go to class, and then in the evening, you met up at Shibuya station and took the train to Kawasaki, where you met Subaru’s bandmates at a yakiniku restaurant.

A cool sister named Momoka Kawahara, and a petite girl named Renai Isen who looks even younger than you, together they formed the original appearance of the band as the lead guitarist and lead singer, while Subaru was the drummer of the band.

Perhaps because they were chatting at the barbecue table, everyone's conversation was not too restrained or stiff. Except for Nina who looked a little uncomfortable, the lively Subaru and the mature and cheerful Momoka were both very relaxed when chatting.

Taoxiang is quite welcoming of your wish to join the band, but you are too young, and your choice of instruments is not quite suitable for the current band. After all, her musical style has never been well suited to classical instruments like the violin. Although it is not impossible to add a violin, it would ruin their overall musical style.

Due to the recent conflict with your grandmother, you have new thoughts about your future. If you can join this band, it may be of great help to your current situation. So you decide...

Tip: This option can affect the instrument skill bonus at settlement.

①. Propose to be dual lead singers.

②. Indicate that you can practice bass from scratch.

③. Indicates that you can play the keyboard.

④. The band is a brick, accept the adjustment! 】

It's too hardcore...

Aoi has never thought about changing instruments. Firstly, she really likes the violin, and secondly, she thinks the violin can make the band more unique. However, traditional rock bands are not suitable for violins. The tone of this instrument is overwhelmingly attractive to some rock music.

By then, not to mention the bass, even the sound of the lead guitar will be overshadowed by the timbre of the violin, and the difficulty of arranging the music will increase greatly.

So, how about trying this week...lead vocalist?

Aoi thought about it briefly and made her own choice.

You suggested that we could be dual lead singers. If that's not possible, you could also be the rhythm guitarist and sub-vocalist.

Momoka said that she would consider it after listening to your singing next time. Subaru also praised your singing skills, but Nina remained silent and did not respond.

Tip: Jing Qinrencai's favorability is -2, and the current favorability is 48.

Chapter 109 I need Ai Ne!

The time that An and Subaru spent studying at an arts school in Tokyo was full of dull and boring experiences.

She wasn't someone who couldn't stand loneliness. Moreover, the smooth social skills she learned in the arts school allowed her to make friends no matter where she was. The word "loner" didn't seem to describe her at all.

Thanks to this, she doesn't have much need for socializing. Apart from the activities she has to deal with during the holidays, she prefers to stay at home and lie lazily on the sofa, or play games happily.

She gets up early every day to go to class and study. After school, she lies on her big bed to play with her mobile phone, or stays up late to play games. The only change in her life is that she recently joined a band.

There is no external stimulation, and the life curve can almost be described as flat.

That's why Saotome Aoi's appearance gave her such a wonderful and novel experience.

This experience is not limited to "a childhood sweetheart who I haven't seen for a long time calls and the first words he says are: I'm homeless." Although the emotional feedback caused by such feelings is relatively large, it will soon subside. What often leaves people with deeper memories and feelings are actually those small things that are subconsciously ignored in daily life.

Because of Aoi's arrival, the stuffed toys that were sometimes randomly placed around the house were now neatly put together, some clothes that hadn't been put away yet appeared in the closet, and the floor, which wasn't too messy to begin with, was diligently mopped once or twice...

You don’t even have to run to the convenience store to buy a sandwich in the morning. Instead, you can eat hot buttered eggs, toast and hot milk at the dining table.

Although Aoi's arrival was only a few days, the changes it brought to Subaru's life were quite obvious. In her words, it was like those modern adult fairy tales: a corporate slave who works from nine to seven and acts like a puppet one day comes home to see a gentle and lovely girl standing at the door. The girl claims that she is his childhood sweetheart and that she has nowhere else to go in her hometown and has come to him for help. In return, the girl will cook for him and do housework every day.

It would be an exaggeration to say that life suddenly has bright colors. For Subaru, it is probably like waking up and opening the curtains to feel bright.

At least her life no longer feels so boring.

So, when she woke up in the morning, she found that the girl's pajamas were not beside her, the dolls that had been placed were scattered in their original places, the clothes that she had forgotten to put away last night were still lying quietly on the chair, and the table where breakfast should have been placed was also empty...

An and Subaru felt a little disappointed, but only a little. It was probably like when you have a beautiful dream, but wake up to find that everything was an illusion. You will always feel a sense of disappointment.

She opened the curtains of her room, stretched out in the bright sunshine, picked up the dolls one by one, and placed them in the correct positions according to her memory in the dream. Only then did her mood gradually recover from the dream.

What a novel dream.

In her dream, she had a childhood sweetheart who was two years younger than her. They had a close relationship and could almost be described as a sister without blood ties. And that 'stepsister' actually wanted to join her current band because of family conflicts.

The most important thing is that her childhood sweetheart is actually the violinist who quit the band... What's this? Was she so moved after watching the live performance that she dreamed of Saotome Aoi?

However, it was just a dream and did not attract Subaru's attention. She just thought about whether she should share this interesting dream with everyone after the band training today, and then began to wash up in the morning.

……

The dream about Aoi did not continue.

I had been looking forward to starting this wonderful dream again, perhaps making up for the mistakes I had made in the dream, but in the end I only had a messy nightmare all night.

Chihaya Aine went to school with heavy dark circles under her eyes. After all, she had no reason to pretend to be sick and ask for leave, nor did she have any reason to continue to escape.

Although she had always insisted that she was not running away and had found countless reasons for herself, after seeing the ending of her dream band, she could no longer convince herself and could no longer find any excuses.

She came back from England to escape because she couldn't adapt to life abroad and felt heavy and helpless in everything in her new environment. She didn't go to school or band practice after her dream band fell apart. She was escaping because she felt she had ruined everything and was too ashamed to face them again.

But, is this really good?

Aine didn't know this, because when she entered the classroom and saw Takamatsu Deng's bright amber eyes, she felt the urge to escape again.

But she had no reason to do so this time, so she just ignored Deng's greeting, sat in her seat with a smile that she felt was forced, and flipped through her textbook stiffly.

“Aine…”

The same lovely and gentle voice as always came from the front. Deng turned her head slightly, and her eyes, brighter than ever, were staring at her, without any confusion, but firm and dazzling.

"……follow me."

Before Aine could react, Deng had already grabbed her wrist. The little animal girl who usually kept her head down when speaking burst out with irresistible strength, forcibly taking Aine out of her seat and dragging her out of the classroom.

"I say, what are you going to do? It hurts a little!"

Aine was a little angry, or maybe nervous, she wasn't actually ready to face the lights, nor was she ready to face everything she had done in her dream.

After all, it was she who caused Aoi to stop coming to the band, and it was she who ruined the band.

"The band needs Ai Neon...!"

Deng let go of her hand, but her eyes were still fixed on Aine's, as if they had a magical power, making her unable to look away for a long time. "I, Li Xi, and everyone are waiting for Aine to come back. The band needs you..."

"Light...what are you talking about?"

Facing such a light, Aine didn't know how to respond for a moment, and could only play dumb and give an ugly fake smile.

"In my dream, Aine stopped coming to training... and then everyone stopped coming."

Deng's expression looked extremely sad, but even then, he didn't waver. He said firmly, "But, it won't happen... because we've all sworn an oath. If everyone is willing to believe in this promise, the ending in my dream will never happen."

The lights are serious.

When Aine was deeply shocked by the dream, at a loss, and even wanted to escape again, the lamp that was always as hesitant as a small animal on weekdays, now shined brightly like the Gouchen hanging in the north.

"I... don't know what happened in the dream, but I don't want to stop before anything happens. I don't want to give up moving forward just because I'm lost."

The corners of Deng's eyes trembled slightly, and his words danced like particles flying in the sunlight.

"I want Aoi to come back... Let's sing that song to her, so she can see our determination. What about you, Aine?"

110

Chapter 110 I won't let it end.

"This is it. I don't know if there's any other way, but this is the only way to find Su Shi-san now..."

Aine's expression was faintly filled with a hint of uneasiness and nervousness. Looking at the exquisite campus and school district buildings in front of her, she couldn't help swallowing.

This is a prestigious school that is said to be attended only by the children of politicians and entertainers. It has always been known as the "school for young ladies". Tsukinomori has a strict school spirit and a long history. Just like in novels and animations, students basically communicate with each other using "Gui'an" and various "young lady" tones.

For Aine, this was an unknown place that existed only in her curiosity, and she never thought that she would come to the Moon Forest one day.

After hearing what Deng said at school, Aine cheered up. She has always been like this. Although she thinks she is always lost and always running away, she will never give up hope of starting over. Even if she falls down countless times, she will definitely get up soon.

In her dream, she hurt Aoi and destroyed the band, so she could no longer escape. She had to work harder in reality to avoid repeating the same mistakes. Only in this way could she make up for her mistakes and maintain the originally beautiful promise.

So, after quickly getting back on track, she volunteered to help the band solve Su Shi's problem and promised to bring Su Shi back.

Since Riki promised to bring Lenae back, Deng followed Aine to the Moon Forest and decided to block Su Shi at the school gate as Aine said.

It doesn’t matter if I didn’t catch her today. Su Shi can’t skip school forever. I’ll be able to catch her one day.

"After all, Sushi-san doesn't reply to my messages at all...it's really too much! I've sent her fifteen emojis in a second and she still hasn't ignored me."

Aine stared at the students coming and going at the school gate, watching them say goodbye to each other gracefully. She felt a sense of discomfort for no reason and could only desperately try to find a topic to talk about with the lamp beside her. "What's even worse is that the messages have been read! Not replying after reading is the worst behavior in social activities!"

“…Aine, you didn’t reply to my message either.”

Deng blinked slightly and muttered softly.

"Ah, eh? That, that is...ah."

Aiyin's expression suddenly became embarrassed. Just as she was about to explain something, a familiar figure accidentally appeared in her sight. Her eyes suddenly lit up, she pulled the wrist of the light and walked quickly in that direction, "I think I found someone I know!"

Deng followed her line of sight with some confusion, and what appeared in his sight was a delicate and lovely girl like a doll. She walked towards him with the demeanor of a lady, carrying a handbag in both hands. Her long light green hair fluttered in the wind, and her golden eyes showed no fluctuations.

Wakaba Mutsu, Aiyin had seen that person in the group photos and live videos of the original Crychic. She was the lead guitarist in the original band and one of the people that Yumenaka Suyo wanted to invite to watch the performance.

Until now, there is still a trace of resentment in her heart. Although she was the direct fuse for the breakup of the band, Su Shi's determination to reunite the original C group no matter what has always played a role in fueling the flames in this matter.

But, it doesn't matter anymore. Just like Aine made a mistake that she couldn't forgive herself for, who wouldn't temporarily go down the wrong path?

"Hello, can I bother you for a moment?"

Aiyin had a friendly smile on her face and trotted to Mu with the light on. "You are Wakaba Mu, right?"

“…Xiao Mu.”

Deng looked at Mu in front of her with a complicated expression. She was a little at a loss for a moment. She opened her mouth but couldn't say what was in her heart. However, she actually didn't know what to say.

And Xiao Mu was just like we knew before, he just raised his eyes slightly, his golden eyes were like a pool of calm spring water, although crystal clear, there was no trace of ripples.

She always keeps silent, but often speaks out the cruelest truth when no one else is willing to speak.

"Um, do you know where Sushi-san is? We're looking for her for something important!"

Aine looked at the hesitant Deng and could only ask Mu with a smile.

"Ah."

Mu nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards the gate of Yuezhisen, leaving only a slender and elegant back to them.

"Ah, she, is she asking us to follow her in?"

Aine was a little surprised and nervously looked around as the crowds of people were becoming increasingly sparse. "Enter... Moon Forest? Is that okay?"

“…Should, should…no problem.”

Deng also muttered a little unsurely.

They finally gritted their teeth and walked through the gate of Yuezhisen, broke into the gorgeous and beautiful campus around them as if they were doing something bad, and hurriedly caught up with Mu's back.
