The goal of life is to break up all couples

Matsueda Azusa pointed at himself with a confused look on his face: "Huh?"

Chapter 60: Who can help me fill the gap in resources?

evening.

Originally, they planned to bring the entire club to watch the live show, but Hikigaya and Onmizu, both of whom were obsessed with their younger sisters, said they had to hurry home to be with their younger sisters. In the end, only Miura Yumiko came along.

Alas, there is really no team spirit.

Azusa Matsueda brought Miura all the way to STARYY, said hello to the store manager and the band members in a hurry, and rushed to the rehearsal room.

At this time, everyone from Crychic was already waiting in the rehearsal room.

Hearing the door being pushed open, everyone subconsciously looked towards the door.

After taking a closer look at the band members in the rehearsal room, Miura Yumiko couldn't help but lean back tactically, elbowing Matsueda Azusa and whispering, "I hadn't noticed before...how come you're the only man in your band? The only man in an all-girl band, right? Is this a serious band? Did your band disband because of promiscuity? No wonder you were so confident when you criticized the Minister of Culture and Arts earlier. It turns out you had personal experience."

Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but reveal a sweaty expression. Unexpectedly, Miura Yumiko's first comment upon seeing him was this. She immediately gave him a middle finger: "Your brain is full of pornographic garbage, and everything you see is pornographic. You only understand love and romance, right? My advice is to cleanse your brain."

When Shiina Riki saw Matsueda Azusa push open the door of the rehearsal room, he immediately stood up and was about to greet him, but suddenly saw Miura Yumiko talking to him in a low and intimate manner. His words and expression froze in an instant.

An uncontrollable panic welled up in her: Who... was that person? Why was he so affectionate with Zi? I'd never heard him mention such a person before... Why did he suddenly bring her here today? What did this mean? Could she be Zi's new girlfriend? No... That couldn't be possible!

Shiina Riki's mind was in a mess, and he asked subconsciously: "Azusa? Who is that woman?"

"Clam?"

Before Matsueda Azusa could answer, Miura Yumiko tutted in dissatisfaction and frowned, "What do you mean by that woman... Matsueda, you band members are so rude."

Hearing Miura Yumiko's complaint, Shiina Riki also showed a cold face: "Huh? What did you say?!"

"What are you saying? We're in a band, how can we still be polite? As if I'm always polite to you. This is normal for us rock musicians, just bear with it."

Unexpectedly, the two people started arguing as soon as they met. Azusa Matsueda quickly interrupted their conversation and made a very shameless declaration to Miura that he was a bad person, and also criticized rock music.

He then waved at Shiina Riki, signaling her to calm down, and explained, "This girl is Miura Yumiko, and she's a member of my club. She saw a clip of our previous live show while watching videos a few days ago. We happen to be performing today, so I brought her here to take a look."

Shiina Riki finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Fortunately, it was just a club member. At least it wasn't the worst case scenario he had imagined.

She said, she had never heard Songzhi Zi talk about it before, so how could a girlfriend suddenly appear out of nowhere? It seemed that she was thinking too much, Songzhi Zi was not that kind of person.

But even if they were members, their actions just now were too intimate. Why are they so prone to physical contact? Don't they know the difference between men and women? They should keep their distance! This inherently evil, yellow-haired female thug, stay away from Matsueda Azusa!

Also, why was she the only one brought along? Were there only two people in their club? Or was it that there were others, but Matsueda Azusa only brought this yellow-haired girl? Either way, it was strange.

Although thinking this in his heart, Shiina Riki just said on the surface: "I see. Then Azusa, ask the staff to help arrange a seat for this student. We need to hurry up and rehearse a few more times."

However, Yumiko Miura didn't care much about Shiina Riki's attitude towards her. After all, she didn't care about the people in the band at all. She came here today just to join in the fun and watch the band's explosion.

She rubbed her chin. She saw no sign that Matsueda Azusa was leaving the band today. She'd expected a deadening, even hostile, atmosphere, but surprisingly, the band members seemed to be at least on good terms. Could it be a peaceful disbandment? That was a bit un-Matsueda Azusa.

After Matsueda Azusa settled Miura, she quickly returned to the rehearsal room.

"How are you preparing?"

Matsueda Azusa plugged in his guitar and casually asked, "Shouldn't anything go wrong?"

Although he asked this question, Matsueda Azusa didn't actually hold much hope.

When Shiina Riki saw Matsueda Azusa asking about the band, he put aside his thoughts about Miura Yumiko and showed a slightly hesitant expression: "Uh... should... be okay, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo, with two very noticeable dark circles under her eyes, said in a choked voice, "No matter what, everyone will definitely do their best."

In order to regain her touch, she only slept for three hours last night, and even spent her rest time after school today practicing the bass.

It’s not that she values ​​this live performance that much, but she knows very well that Matsueda Azusa didn’t want her to return to Crychic, and he is actually not very happy about her rejoining Takamatsu Teru and her band.

If her performance showed any serious problems in this situation... She wasn't Takamatsu Deng, and there wasn't a Shiina Riki who could guarantee her no matter what. If anything went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

Although Matsueda Azusa probably wouldn't kick her out of the band as soon as she had a problem... she didn't dare to take the risk.

Nagasaki Suyo was trembling with fear, as if she was on the edge of an abyss or walking on thin ice.

Fortunately, her position in the band was not that conspicuous and important, and she had a solid foundation. After a whole day of pre-training, although her performance was far from excellent, she could at least assist Hachiman Kailing and ensure that nothing went wrong.

But Matsueda Azusa wasn't worried about her. He knew very well that although Nagasaki Suyo didn't care about music or performances at all, once it came to whether she could still stay in the band, she would definitely use all her skills and give 100% effort.

What he was most worried about was Gao Songdeng.

It’s not that Matsueda Azusa is targeting Takamatsu Touma, or has any opinion about her... It’s mainly because Takamatsu Touma is indeed a role in the band that requires multiple people to protect her and consumes a lot of resources.

If the band takes her as the core and uses songs based on her voice, it can really achieve very good results. The original Crychic's only representative work "Spring Shadow" is indeed very good on stage.

In Crychic back then, Matsueda Azusa was just a rhythm guitarist, so anything was fine. But the problem is... that's not the case with Crychic now. Can Takamatsu really adapt to the current style and playstyle?

Gao Songdeng noticed Songzhi Zi's gaze, held the microphone tightly, lowered his head and whispered: "I will...try my best!"

Hachiman Kailing glanced at Matsueda Azusa, then at Takamatsu Deng, and couldn't help but let out a barely audible sigh.

If she wasn't a bassist, perhaps with her technical skills, she might be able to save the situation when things went wrong... But unfortunately, she was just a bassist and didn't have the same powerful strength as the others.

Songzhi Zi perked up a bit and nodded. "That's good... Anyway, let's hurry up and rehearse a few more times. We don't need to be brilliant, as long as there are no problems."

These words were spoken not only to everyone in the rehearsal room, but also to himself.

His requirements are very low. As long as there are no problems and the song is played smoothly... he can convince himself to accept the current Crychic.

Because at least this shows that everyone can still move forward at the current pace of Crychic. Even if the results are not that good, as long as there are no major problems, they can all be improved and progress can be made.

Chapter 61 Why...why should I play Kasuga Shadow!

The lights on the stage came on.

Everyone in Crychic stood still.

Matsueda Azusa could see that everyone was nervous, including himself.

Takamatsu Deng was still holding her small notebook in her arms until Nagasaki Suyo whispered a reminder to her, then she came to her senses and quickly put the notebook on the ground.

"Hello everyone, we are the high school band Crychic. This is our first time performing at STARYY, and we are all very excited, but also a little nervous."

Azusa Matsueda said to the audience, "Today I'm going to sing 'In'. I hope you will support me. Thank you very much."

Many audience members recognized Matsueda Azusa:

"Isn't this the guy who suddenly jumped out and played guitar during the warm-up last time?"

"Really? I thought he was also a member of the band that ended, isn't he?"

"Crychic? I think I've heard of it..."

"So you were here to guest star last time? You're pretty good at guitar, I'm looking forward to it."

The three members of the closing band were also in the audience.

Goto Ichiri looked towards the stage with some longing: "Is this the band that Matsueda-kun is in? They really look like they have the right band. So impressive... I hope they will put on a great performance next time!"

Yamada Ryo held a piece of grass in his mouth and said vaguely: "I think... it's hard to say."

Hongxia tapped Yamada Ryo on the head gently: "How can you say something like that before another band's performance! How rude!"

Yamada Ryo covered his head but didn't argue: "You'll know once you see it."

Miura Yumiko, who was not far away, overheard the three's conversation and subconsciously glanced over at them. Did the blue-haired girl seem to know about Matsueda Azusa's plans to leave the group? Otherwise, she wouldn't have said it so confidently. Hmm... could that be the next club Matsueda Azusa had already found?

Forget it, it has nothing to do with her anyway, and she is too lazy to care.

Soon, music started playing on the stage.

Songzhi Zi was a little nervous.

Very good, there is no problem with the prelude, it was played very smoothly.

It seems that Nagasaki Suyo really worked hard and did not let down at the critical moment.

Although this guy is indeed a little clueless, when it comes to things she cares about, he will still try his best to do it.

Gao Songdeng took a deep breath and opened his mouth——

But there is no sound.

She forced herself to sing, but her voice was still as thin as a mosquito.

The audience soon began to whisper:

"What's going on? Is there something wrong with the equipment?"

"The lead singer's mic has no sound?"

"Strange, STARRY shouldn't make such a stupid mistake, right?"

"Or was this intentional? A repeat of the script from last warm-up?"

"Eh? This routine was indeed novel the first time, but it's boring to do it again..."

Cold sweat broke out on Songzhi Zi's forehead.

As expected, the worst-case scenario occurred.

"that……"

At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo leaned over to the microphone and began to explain: "Everyone, I'm really, really sorry. This is actually our first performance on stage after the band's roster changes, and we might still have some problems getting used to each other... I'm really sorry, and I hope everyone can give us another chance."

Then she looked at the others and said, "Let's try again, Deng. Don't be nervous. We can do it."

It can be seen that Nagasaki Suyo really doesn't want the team to fall apart, and is already trying her best to become C.

Even though she was still explaining gently to the audience, cold sweat had already soaked her back. This was her first time on stage, and even though she didn't care about her performance at all, she knew Matsueda Azusa would be extremely disappointed.

What if he becomes like Xiaoxiang and turns around and tells everyone, “I want to quit Crychic”?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

Under the gentle comfort of Nagasaki Suyo and the worried gaze of Shiina Riki, Takamatsu Deng nodded vigorously: "Yes... I'm sorry, I will try my best!"

Songzhi Zi breathed a sigh of relief.

Let’s do it again…Okay, let’s do it again.

Yamada Ryo in the audience had already shaken his head: "The ending is already decided."

The music started again.

The audience gradually quieted down.

The prelude went smoothly, and under immense pressure, everyone performed better than last time. Nagasaki Suyo even performed beyond her normal level.

Look how hard this kid is being pushed.

Gao Songdeng spoke again—

But still no sound.

Matsueda Azusa couldn't help showing a look of disappointment.

The ending was indeed set. Although he still clung to a glimmer of hope,... it was clear that there was no point in him staying in Crychic any longer.

Matsueda Azusa stopped playing.

The music on the stage gradually died down.

The audience in the audience has already started talking.

Yumiko Miura showed a look of realization - no wonder Azusa Matsueda wanted to quit the group, what a mess the performance was, if she was replacing Azusa Matsueda on the stage, she would have wanted to find a hole to crawl into... It was too embarrassing.

Nagasaki Suyo was already trembling and panting. She had practiced so hard, but still got the same result. The thought of the possible consequences made her feel dizzy.

"lamp……"

Shiina Riki whispered worriedly.

Gao Songdeng gripped the microphone tightly, her knuckles turning white from pressing, and she lowered her head.

Just then, she suddenly spoke.

"At that time, I couldn't sing well... and then everyone fell apart... in pain, I don't want to have such memories again... I don't want to feel that the band is something that makes people feel painful and disgusting..."

Under the confused gazes of the crowd, Gao Songdeng's voice gradually rose from low to high and began to sing:

【My heart is filled with haggardness】
