Then, the two of them unconsciously looked at Miaomeng, as if they were trying to express something.
As a result, Miaomeng seemed to react defensively and shouted, "I told you, I won't be your teammate!"
Xiangzi was slightly disappointed, but quickly said, "Oh, that's okay. The three of us can play together first. I just saw that there's a small stage and some instruments at the hotel."
Without hesitation, Xiangzi ran into the hotel with great enthusiasm.
Banami couldn't help but laugh and followed her inside.
Miao Meng suddenly said, "Sui, are you going to join in their nonsense too?"
Ruo Sui thought of the boy's melancholy earlier, and the surprise Miss Xiangzi mentioned during the performance; she already had the answer in her heart.
"Sister, I think sometimes it's better to be honest with your own heart."
Then, she followed them into the hotel.
After hearing this, Ruomai clenched her fists slightly and stood there for an unknown amount of time before whispering, "I will never be your teammate, Toyokawa Shoko."
However, she eventually turned around and went inside.
She didn't want to be Toyokawa Shoko's teammate; she just wanted to see Wakaho's performance.
Then, she went to the hotel's small stage, where Banami's guitar music had already started playing.
As the familiar melody began to play, the longing and memories seemed to appear before Banami and Shoko's eyes. Thinking of those familiar girls, both of them were filled with unusually strong emotions.
*His heart was filled with weariness, his eyes darting around.
I am all alone in this world.
*In this ever-fading spring
*Every year I only feel the cold
Even without the drum set, Banami remained immersed in the music, wanting to convey something to people far away through "Haruhi Kage".
Do you still pick up pebbles now?
Does anyone have lunch with you at noon?
Have you... become the human being you wanted to be?
Knowing that expectations will ultimately be in vain.
*yet still relentlessly seeks redemption
(Heartbreaking yet endearing)
*At this moment, I feel like I can understand.
(Happiness, however, can be both unsettling and intoxicating.)
*Shining upon me, who cannot cry.
The gentle light accompanies me on my journey.
As Xiangzi typed on the keyboard, he was actually looking at Miaomeng, as if extending some kind of invitation.
Are you really going to stand by and watch as Hanami's feelings for him are diminished?
For some reason, Xiangzi's meaning was accurately conveyed to Miaomeng's heart.
She gently bit her lip, and finally, as if she couldn't resist, she ran up, sat in front of the drum set, and finished the drumbeats that should have been played by the girl with the beauty mark.
Anyway, it's not using Old Deng's drum kit...
Upon hearing the drumbeats, Banami couldn't help but turn to look at Nyanmu sitting in the drummer's seat and smiled knowingly.
*Shining brightly through layers of clouds
My inner thoughts overflowed.
*Her cheeks were also sparkling as she came to her senses.
Hot tears wet my face.
Why are your hands so warm?
Please
Please never let go again.
I miss you and all of you so much right now.
How are you all?
Outside, the autumn maple leaves, like flames, fluttered in the air.
Chapter 51 Under the Same Sky
Why are your hands so warm?
Please
Please never let go again.
The singing echoed through the practice room of the live house until the girl could hardly breathe. She gasped for breath, and the others slowly put down their instruments.
“Zero, you sang very well just now,” Nagasaki Motoyo said sincerely.
"That's right, Little Light, I was really moved by your singing just now." Shiina Riki's voice trembled slightly.
Although everyone seemed somewhat excited, there was an inexplicable sense that they were trying too hard to create a lively atmosphere.
So, Chihaya Aine, who was a guitarist, made the suggestion.
"Hey, how about we do a live show? I think we've been practicing pretty well lately."
Upon hearing her words, everyone in the practice room seemed to freeze in surprise.
Even Aine was surprised that it was Koto who spoke first. She said softly, "Sorry, Anon-chan, I don't want to do a live show recently."
The singing was so passionate just now, but after it ended, Xiaodeng became unusually quiet and taciturn.
Although everyone is well aware of the reasons.
"Oh, what a pity, it was so much fun just now."
After packing up her guitar, Kaoru muttered something and then left first.
"Hey, Nora Neko, no one's said they're disbanding yet," Shiina Riki called out, but Neko just patted her butt and left.
"I see. Since Koharu isn't feeling well lately, let's postpone the LIVE event," Nagasaki Motoyo said in a gentle voice.
"I'm sorry." Xiaodeng looked somewhat remorseful, as if she had done something wrong.
Su Shi immediately went up to Xiao Deng, gently hugged her, and said, "It wasn't Zero's fault for stealing, so don't apologize. Everyone can understand you."
“That’s right, it’s all the fault of that man who eloped with Toyokawa Shoko!” Riki couldn’t help but tap the drumhead lightly with his drumstick.
As a result, Takamatsu Akari clenched her hands tightly, and then she ran straight out.
"Little Light!" Aine chased after the girl and ran out.
"Tachiki-kun!" Nagasaki Motoyo said in a reprimanding tone.
“…I’ll go apologize to Stealing Zero.” Li hope suddenly felt a little annoyed.
However, Su Shi gently shook her head and said, "It's not your fault, Li hope. It's more appropriate to leave this situation to Chihaya..."
Before Su Shi could finish speaking, she seemed to notice something happening outside the practice room, so she called out, "Excuse me, Li hope, I have to go now."
After saying that, she put the bass back in its case and hurriedly left.
Li hope opened her mouth and whispered, "Everyone seems to get along well now, but why... does it not feel like a band anymore?"
In fact, she already had the answer in her heart.
"Xiao Deng, the song you just sang, 'Spring Shadow,' was just too... suggestive."
That kind of performance, where all the love and longing in one's heart are poured out without reservation, is, in a way, a confession.
It even made Li hope blush.
"Little Lamp, I miss you so much right now... Xi." She whispered in a low voice.
It was as if Gao Songdeng's singing had just been heard.
***
Gao Songdeng ran desperately, but she didn't know where she was going.
Perhaps it was because the place she wanted to reach had already been seen off by her own eyes that very night, as it departed on the Shinkansen.
Everyone is treating her very well now, with Anon-chan and everyone from MYGO, she should be very happy.
But now, at lunchtime, it's just her and Anon-chan in the Astronomy Club. The days when the three of them ate lunch together, and... Saki-chan would occasionally barge in, are gone forever.
So, just having Hanami and Saki around makes her so happy.
Even when practicing with others, he becomes incredibly cool.
Anon-chan is a very nice person. She has been keeping me company lately, and even went with me to dig for pill bugs, even though she looked terrified.
But I don't know when it started, the pill bugs, those beautiful stones, the penguins in the aquarium, and the lights no longer evoked the same excitement I used to feel when I saw them.
Is this the price we have to pay to become human?
She didn't want to do a live performance just now, everyone must have been very disappointed, right?
Little Lamp no longer knew what to do.
As she was running with her head down, she tripped because she wasn't looking at the steps. Just as she was about to lose her balance, someone gently helped her up.
This similar sense of peace touched her heart, reminding her of a boy who was no longer in Tokyo.
"Please be careful... Ah, you are... Takamatsu-kun?"
Hearing a slightly familiar voice, Xiaodeng gently raised her head, only to see a familiar head of blond hair.
“Triangle classmate.” Little Lantern looked slightly surprised.
"Did something sad happen? You were running so fast just now," Chu Hua asked softly.
Xiaodeng paused slightly, remembering the relationship between Misaki Hatsuka and those two people. Her emotions seemed to pour out all at once, and she said, "I...I miss Saki-chan and Hanami-kun."
Mingming, she had just made up with Saki-chan.
Mingming, I'm so happy to have lunch with them tomorrow.
Clearly, it was so much fun having Banami watching us practice.
But……"
"I see. Well, we feel the same way." Chu Hua said softly, looking at Xiao Deng, who was rambling a bit.
Xiao Deng clenched her fists slightly. Only then did she notice her surroundings. She realized that she had unknowingly wandered into the vicinity of the Starry Sky Pavilion.
"Missile, are you here to see the stars?" She had met her before at the stargazing museum.
But this time, she received a negative answer, and then she nodded.
Xiao Deng tilted his head slightly, looking somewhat puzzled.
Chu Hua said softly, "I came to see the stars, but not inside the star pavilion."
Chu Hua leaned against the railing by the sea, then gently tilted her head back, looking up at the sky above.
Xiao Deng subconsciously looked up, but said, "But... we can't see any stars in the sky here."
"Yes, you can't see the stars in the sky here, but it's the place where I first met Hanami-kun."
"Huh?" Little Lamp asked in confusion.
Then, the blonde girl said sincerely, "Little Lamp, although we can't contact those two people right now, those two people we both like very much, as long as I see this sky, I will feel at ease even if there are no stars."
Because you and I, and those two people, are still under the same sky.
As long as we are under the same sky, we will surely meet again someday. Chu Hua subconsciously raised her head, as if trying to grasp the night sky above her.
When Little Lamp heard the blonde girl say that, she couldn't help but look up again and, like her, reach out to grab the distant sky.
Chapter 52 Mass Production of Bland Girls
Nagasaki Motoyo didn't have time to pay attention to Kodama for the time being, and hurriedly left after handing her over to her teammates, because she had inadvertently glanced outside and seen a girl.
She rushed out to search, and finally found a petite, doll-like figure on the street not far from "RiNG".
