A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

Thinking of this, Aoi sighed somewhat sadly, glanced at the mission partners who were reporting their mission progress in the group chat, and only sent a meaningless cute emoticon package in response.

I squeezed into the overcrowded tram during the evening rush hour, and finally arrived at my destination after being swayed by the crowded traffic. It was as if I was being carried forward by the crowd and was rushed to the exit in an instant.

Aoi only had time to scan the code to exit the station. Just as she stuffed her phone back into her bag, she was bumped hard by an office worker who seemed to be in a hurry walking behind her. The bag in her hand flew out in an instant and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah! My bag..."

Aoi didn't react in time and only had time to scream before she saw her handbag accidentally kicked by a passerby again, and the distance between them and her continued to widen.

Aoi felt so anxious that she was furious. She quickly pushed aside the passers-by around her and rushed over to pick up her bag that was almost trampled on the ground.

There was still a crowd of people around her, and she could even hear some passers-by making unhappy clicking sounds as they avoided her. In this situation, Aoi really didn't know how to find the culprit, nor could she carefully check whether her bag was damaged. She had to hurriedly leave the scene with her handbag.

Ikebukuro at night was just as she had remembered it, with crowds of people surging, countless strangers mixing with the neon lights, and interweaving with each other in the streets.

Looking at the familiar scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. She slowly walked towards the Livehouse that she hadn't visited for a long time, and walked into the hall that she had been to countless times in the simulator.

Although she hadn't cared about it before, she still felt a little unwilling to return to RING. She had spent so much time on C Group and Mygo, but there was no successful ending...

If the Gbc simulation ends successfully, she will go back and continue simulating Mygo or C Group. Even if it is in the game, she wants to have a happy ending in this band.

"Welcome light—why is it you...?"

Aoi stopped in the middle of the hall, looking around the livehouse that she had only frequently visited in the simulator, and she didn't notice at all that a girl with long black hair at the front desk not far away was looking at her in surprise.

Aoi looked back in confusion, and met Shiina Ritsu's slightly narrowed purple eyes. She responded to Ritsu's shocked expression with a pure smile on her face.

It seems that I left a deep impression on them last time...

"Hello, long time no see. I remember your name is Ms. Shiina Riki, right? Are all your bandmates here?"

Aoi walked up to the counter and asked with a smile.

"Huh? At this point, you..."

Li Xi muttered to himself, but before he could finish his words, he gave up and turned away, sighing deeply, "In... We just arrived at the recording studio, and I still have a part-time job to finish. What are you doing here?"

"Hmm? I have something to discuss with you guys. Is that convenient for you?"

Aoi always seemed to have that harmless smile on her face, and she clapped her hands gently.

"...Forget it, come with me."

Li Xi's brows trembled slightly, but he still answered helplessly, waved to his colleague who was counting the equipment behind him, and whispered, "Ms. Rinrinko, I'll be away for a while."

"Okay~ Riki-chan, you still have practice today, right? Leave this to me, and go ahead and practice!"

Miss Rinrinko gave her a thumbs up and winked gently.

Chapter 156 She in the dream.

The world today is no different.

The sun hung in a corner of the city, and after sinking into the tall buildings, it seemed like a ball of fire that ignited the end of the sky. The clouds were burning fiercely, glowing with a charming pink and orange.

Even the city was drawn into the fire of dusk, with the glass of those towering office buildings absorbing the colors of the sunset, like countless pieces of a constantly changing puzzle.

Pedestrians mingled and merged on the evening streets when the streetlights were already on, just like vehicles moving along prescribed routes in a complex traffic system. They seemed to meet and coexist, but in fact they were separated from each other by invisible carriages, hiding in their own isolated islands.

Gao Songdeng looked at the world silently, and soon lowered her head out of habit, locking herself in her own isolated island, just looking down at her feet and the road ahead.

It is now early May, and late spring is on the verge of disappearing. I can faintly feel the hair of early summer brushing against my ears. The cherry blossoms have withered, and the sunflowers are like the mid-spring in my memory, never to appear again.

She did not appear in the dream, nor did she appear in reality, as if she had disappeared without a trace from the world of lights.

Deng is always very scared before falling asleep and after waking up. Of course, she is not afraid of never seeing Aoi again, nor is she afraid that Aoi will hate her afterwards. Instead, she is worried that everything is just a dream.

Unlike Crychic, Aoi still had her old account, her live streams, and the photo Sushi had taken. All she left behind were countless, profound memories. It was like walking through a blanket of snow, leaving a trail of footprints. But with another snowfall or a strong wind, her footprints would vanish completely, leaving no trace.

Whenever Deng wakes up and sees everyone, she is very scared. In fact, these memories are only possessed by her. In fact, Aoi does not exist at all. Her previous experiences and memories in reality are all just Deng's fantasy.

Aoi is just a phantom she created to save herself.

Because of this, she somewhat pathologically devoted all her energy to the band. Only here could she find a sense of reality that Aoi still existed, and only by singing that song hard here could she feel that Aoi was not an illusion.

This song is proof of Aoi's existence, and all their efforts are to sing their hearts out to Aoi.

So they have been training very hard since Golden Week. Li Xi also adapted the song on the film into a version suitable for them to sing. Some time ago, with everyone's joint efforts, they chose the name of their band 'It'S MyGo!!!!!!!!!"'.

It corresponds to what she believed, that everyone is a "lost child", always confused and always lost, and then Aiyin changed it to "My Turn" with an English homonym. Just as each of them expected, it doesn't matter if you get lost, you have to move forward even if you get lost.

The six exclamation marks at the end were also Aine's own decision. She said it was to add momentum, but in fact everyone could see that they represented the members of the band.

Takamatsu Touma, Chihaya Aine, Kaname Rakuna, Shiina Tatsuki, Nagasaki Suyo, and Saotome Aoi.

Regardless of whether Aoi will return to their band in the future, and regardless of how the future develops, this band was created by Aoi herself, and this will never change, and they will never forget...

There were too many words in his heart and too much to confide in his mind. Deng only felt depressed and urgent. He walked quickly across the street, walked into RING, and came to the familiar recording studio.

Right now, she didn't want to think about anything else but the next performance to be presented to Aoi.

Everyone must have thought so too, because everyone was very active in gathering in the recording studio during this period. They would gather in the studio to practice as soon as school was over every day. Even Lenai would only be late but would not skip practice.

So, this time, I must...

"Well, is Lixi the last one again today?"

Deng habitually sat in a corner writing and drawing after arriving at the studio, so he hadn't noticed that everyone had gradually arrived. Su Shi was combing Lenai's hair, who seemed to have neglected it today, while Aine sat off to the side, scrolling through her phone boredly. "How about next time, let the last person to arrive treat us to a parfait?"

"I want matcha."

Lenai raised her head sharply, almost bumping into Sushi's chest, causing her to complain helplessly, "Don't move, little Lenai... Also, you know that Lixi has a part-time job, right?"

"I was just saying it casually, to liven up the atmosphere! Or something like that..."

Aine muttered, "By the way...shouldn't we go to Shimokitazawa to look for Aoi? Didn't we say we'd attend her independent live? What if she's already decided on someone?"

No one answered this question, and everyone remained silent.

In fact, of course, Aine was not the only one who noticed this. Everyone was worried about this. However, everyone except Lenai probably had their own concerns. When it came to seeing Xiao Kui again, they were nervous and hesitant.

". As expected, I still have to go there."

Su Shi raised his head with a somewhat dejected smile and whispered, "Just leave it to me..."

"Eh? Soyorin is so cunning~ Do you want to go see Aoi yourself?"

"I'm talking about you..."

Bickering as always.

Deng raised his head slightly, looked at his messy notebook, stared at the flower pattern drawn on it, and spoke as if he had made up his mind.

"I also……"

'Click'

Before she could finish her words, two crisp footsteps stepped on the floor, and the door of the recording studio was gently opened, completely interrupting her words.

There was nothing strange about this, as it should be just Lixi and the Livehouse staff coming over. But somehow, a strange intuition surged into Deng's heart, and she couldn't ignore this feeling. She just stared blankly at the door of the recording studio with her eyes wide open.

The most unlikely answer seemed to flood her mind, becoming more and more intense as the scene of Lixi walking into the recording studio became more and more intense, and the sound of his footsteps also beat against her heart again and again.

It was as if the whole world had pressed the slow-motion button, everything seemed so long, making the lights almost crazy.

"...Looks like everyone is here."

Li Xi walked into the recording studio and immediately looked around at his stunned companions. He sighed helplessly and turned to glance at the person behind him.

"That's perfect! I'm sorry to bother you guys."

The man's figure stopped at the door of the recording studio, and his clear and soft voice blended into the silent air around them, shaking their hearts.

Her beige hair was draped over her shoulders, glowing with a warm hue under the warm lights of the recording studio. Under her long and thick eyelashes, a pair of emerald-like, crystal-clear eyes smiled brightly at them.

It's like a dream coming into reality.

It was like the day of the music festival all over again...

Deng couldn't help but feel dazed, and for a moment he had the illusion that "am I still dreaming?" He could only hear Aoi's smiling voice.

"I want to talk to you about performances. I wonder if you are free or if you have any performances scheduled in the future?"

Chapter 157 Bad luck!

Familiar recording studio, familiar people.

If the story of the simulator happened in reality, would it be like this?

Riki stood beside him, with his usual troubled and unhappy expression; Deng sat in the corner, holding his notebook in his hand, looking up blankly, looking at himself with a blank look; Su Shi stood behind Lenai, holding a hairbrush in her hand, looking back at him in surprise like a little wild cat; even Aine, who was usually the most lively and cheerful, just stood there, blinking blankly.

For some reason, standing among them, Aoi could inexplicably feel a strange association that was even stronger than the one at the music festival, sweeping over her with a fervent sense of unreality.

It was as if she was not in reality at the moment, but had suddenly traveled into her own simulated world line. Here, she was not a member of the Ending Band, but the organizer of these girls in front of her and the backbone of the band.

A few days ago, they just came back from the foot of Mount Fuji in Yamanashi Prefecture, and promised to be together for the rest of their lives under the blessing of Lake Motosu and the starry sky.

fine……

Fortunately, it’s just a simulation.

Aoi was not really disgusted by this promise, she just connected it with reality for a moment. If she really made a lifelong promise to these girls in front of her, and then made a lifelong agreement with the band.

Then she is truly the eternal sinner of the girl band circle, wantonly playing with the girls' dreams of everlasting love.

Just standing here at this moment, she could inexplicably feel a slight sense of uneasiness and tension. Although she knew very well that her memory was just a simulation game, she still subconsciously felt a little guilty.

Although she didn't know where the guilt she felt came from, perhaps it was similar to the feeling of talking to her friends after reading a strange little notebook based on their models.

Aoi tried to calm herself down, smiled at the silent and awkward practice room, and spoke again.

"Well, you might not know this, but we're planning to hold an independent live show at the end of May, and we're currently short of a warm-up band..."

"So... you found us?"

Su Shi raised her head slightly, and the hand holding the hairbrush dropped down. The expression on her face was very complicated, making it difficult to see her true mood for a moment.

"Yeah, I saw your performance last time, and I think your band is really great!"

The smile on Aoi's face showed no sign of hiding her praise as she gave them a thumbs up.

According to her social code, few people don't like being praised by others, so appropriately recognizing and affirming others when getting along with each other can help improve the relationship between both parties, especially when dealing with simple-minded girls in junior high and high school. This trick has been proven to be effective.

But for some reason, the atmosphere in the recording studio never relaxed, and there was hardly a smile on the faces of the few people.

What is this...? Is it because we just met, so we're still a little unfamiliar and awkward?

Aoi, who was always good at socializing, couldn't help but feel a little withdrawn, a trace of cold sweat slid down her face, but she continued to speak hurriedly.

"Um...are you guys available recently?"

"us--"

".I want to participate!"

Aiyin seemed to realize that everyone's behavior was a bit rude. She scratched her cheek embarrassedly and was about to answer something when she was interrupted by a sudden high-pitched voice beside her.

I saw Gao Songdeng standing up from the chair at some point. Her strong aura was in stark contrast to her usual timid and weak state. She walked in front of Aoi with a menacing look.

"...Do you want us to participate?"

"Of course I still hope!"

Aoi nodded slightly, looked around hesitantly, staring at everyone's expressions, and added cautiously, "It's just that... our situation is still a little complicated."

"Then just be clear. There's no need to be so cautious."

Li Xi frowned slightly and said bluntly.

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Aoi quickly explained, "To put it simply... well, the manager seems to think that choosing the warm-up band is too important to leave it entirely to us, so they're planning to hold a warm-up band review live in the middle of the month to decide on the candidates... But no matter what, I still really hope you can come!"

Sure enough, such words still sound very arrogant.

It's not like we're inviting them to perform together in a live concert, we're simply asking them to come over to warm up the stage and play a small supporting role. And yet they still have to attend a review meeting and compete with other bands.

If the End Band is now a super popular professional band, then all this can be understood, but the problem is that they are just a new girl band that has just started out, and their strength is not much higher than Mygo.

The smile on Aoi's face became more and more forced. Looking at the people who remained silent, she suddenly felt like backing out.
