Chapter Nineteen: Farewell and Confession

At this moment, Aine, whose mind was blank, realized a fact.

Ah, so it turns out I'm the kind of person who messes things up at crucial moments.

The less she leaves herself a way out, the more nervous she becomes at crucial moments, leading to a blank mind and ultimately... failure.

Yearning for the British lifestyle, I stubbornly went to England, even boasting to my former classmates.

Tonight, she's going to give a perfect, breathtaking performance to show her classmate Hanami, marking the end of her first love for him and the beginning of a new chapter in her life.

But... it failed from the very beginning.

After tonight, will she really become a stranger to Banami?

Once I think about this, a kind of repressed emotion gradually spreads in my heart.

At this moment, she didn't even dare to look at the audience, didn't dare to look at Banami Yu, and even less dare to look at Toyokawa Shoko beside him. Subconsciously, she actually wanted to show off to Banami's girlfriend, but now... she felt even more embarrassed.

"Anon-chan... I'm sorry, please do it again."

Compared to Aine, Takamatsu Akari was the first to react.

The audience below the stage made a lively noise.

“Anon-chan, let’s start over,” Takamatsu Akari said.

Ai Yin's face was a little pale. In her mind, she recalled the feeling of helplessness she had when she was chasing after those two people on her bicycle.

Why did she chase after him at that time? Was it because she wanted to confess to Hanami at the end?

“Yes, let’s start over,” Li hope said without hesitation.

It's normal for them to make mistakes during a performance, after all, they're just an amateur band.

After readjusting her mindset, Ai-yin took a deep breath and nodded gently.

This time, Ai Yin's guitar playing was very good; there were no problems at the beginning.

Takasatsu Tō started singing.

When I saw Hanami again, he had become more mature, and even had changed his identity and gained a higher status, creating an invisible barrier between us.

She greatly envied Xiaodeng, who could easily ignore that barrier, but she couldn't do it.

※You, alone and dejected in the shadows... sigh.

However, when Xiaodeng finished singing the first line, he couldn't help but stop.

The crowd's movements became chaotic, and Aine's face grew even paler.

This time it was a C chord, but I pressed it wrong and played a closed A chord instead, and then everything I played after that went off track.

"I'm sorry... please, try again," Xiaodeng quickly called out.

Sorry... Little Light...

"I'm sorry, please do it again."

I'm already... unable to go on. I told myself I had to pull myself together, and I still had this goal to achieve, but every time, she's like this, as if she's sinking into a bottomless black hole.

An awkward silence fell over the room after the repeated attempts.

Upon seeing this, Li hope quickly spoke into the microphone: "I'm sorry, our guitarist has been going through some things lately. To put it simply, he broke up with his girlfriend, so he's not in a good state and needs some time to adjust."

"Hey, Lixi, do we really have to be so direct?" Su Shi couldn't help but whisper to her.

However, because of the microphone, her voice was also exposed.

The audience below couldn't help but burst into laughter, and Su Shi immediately blushed.

"Go for it, Anon-chan!" Then, among the audience, the three sisters in red, green and yellow couldn't help but cheer for their classmate.

RiNG is popular because it fosters a very tolerant attitude towards amateur bands, and mistakes during live performances are commonplace.

Because someone took the lead, the audience below also started cheering for Ai Yin in twos and threes.

"Go for it, pink-haired big sister!"

"Give me a good beating, so that the heartless man can see that you can live a good life on your own."

"The more submissive and timid you are, the happier your rival will be, just enjoying watching you make a fool of yourself!"

While it's true that encouraging and cheering is good, isn't there something wrong with these words?

But for Ai Yin right now, she couldn't hear any of these words. All she felt was fear, the kind of fear she had when she was studying in England and couldn't keep up with her studies and life.

This pressure even caused her to develop somatization symptoms, with both her body and fingers becoming stiff.

Su Shi and Li hope looked at Ai Yin not far away and wondered, "Is it too late today?"

In fact, both of them understood to some extent what Aine wanted to do tonight, so although it was regrettable, they could also understand why the other had become like this.

Getting rid of that love is not an easy thing.

Saying goodbye is inherently very painful.

"Chihaya Aine! Do you still remember that song, 'Do You Remember Love?'?"

Suddenly, Ai-yin heard a familiar boy's voice.

She couldn't help but look up, and her past "wedding" came to mind.

Even the bridesmaid was Toyokawa Shoko, who was sitting next to her.

That song was written for her by Banami; it was a song they sang together on stage.

"Think carefully about yourself back then!" Hanami shouted.

Back then, I was the brave Chihaya Aine. I thought that after it was all over, she would confess to me. That was my wholehearted belief at the time.

Tick-tock, tick-tock...

Tears fell onto the strings of the instrument, and a bittersweet feeling, but mostly a sense of longing, gradually took hold of her.

She finally understood that what was holding her back today wasn't her nervousness, but... herself.

It was that version of myself who didn't want to say goodbye to the boy.

Human eyes are located in the front, so people can easily see others clearly, but it is difficult for them to see themselves clearly.

She took a deep breath, her fingers trembling slightly, and said in her heart: Thank you, Banami-kun, thank you for giving me courage again.

The courage to say goodbye.

Ai looked at her teammates, her voice slightly hoarse, and pleaded, "Please, everyone, please do it one more time. I will definitely do it this time."

Li hope scratched his head and said, "Hmph, do you all only become enlightened on stage? You always try to create a big scandal."

Su Shi looked at Aine. She could roughly understand the other's realization. She should have been happy, after all, there was one less competitor. But when she actually faced Aine now, she wasn't as happy as she had imagined.

Therefore, she simply nodded slightly.

"Hmm, there are more and more interesting girls these days," the cat said with a slight upturn of her lips.

"Go for it, Anon-chan!" said the innocent little lamp earnestly.

Aine took a deep breath. It's okay, she still has these understanding teammates.

She gently pulled the strings, and the performance resumed.

She had a feeling that she would definitely succeed this time.

Because what follows is not just a farewell, but... a confession.

Chapter Twenty: Pufferfish Electronic Music

After Hanami finished shouting, Aine on stage seemed to regain her composure.

He seemed relieved, but Xiangzi beside him said, "Xi, won't you regret doing this?"

"Regret what?" Banai couldn't help but ask back.

"Playing dumb isn't a good habit," Xiangzi said softly.

After a moment of silence, Banami looked up at the girl on the stage and said, "I told you before, my dream is to create a world where everyone can live happily."

If saying goodbye makes Anon-chan happy...

"Idiot," Xiao Xiang muttered under his breath.

Banai was filled with questions, thinking, "Isn't this what you wanted?"

"It's starting." Next to her, Wakaba Mutsu looked at everyone on the stage, her eyes seeming somewhat yearning.

***

"Walking with the Blue Sky" has a strong rock feel, so the intro is an impressive electronic sound and fast drumbeats, which really tests the guitarist's skills.

Aine's pick flew across the strings, as if in complete contrast to before. She had never felt so focused before, and had even entered a state of flow.

She even had a premonition that she could accurately play every key without looking at the guitar strings. She looked up at a boy in the audience, who was also looking at her.

※You, alone and dejected in the shadows

※But this sky is too dazzlingly blue.

What should I say to you?

What should I do for you?

Chihaya Aine once felt that her darkest moment was the period after returning from England. She was extremely afraid of running into classmates she knew from junior high school and being asked why she was still in Japan.

However, on the first day of school, she met the boy. At their first meeting, she almost fell and was caught by him.

It's practically like the opening chapter of a shoujo manga.

The subsequent developments are actually quite like a shoujo manga, since they are mistaken for a couple. So, in order to avoid being bullied, the two pretend to be a couple and start showing affection.

※It happened so recently, yet...it's so nostalgic.

We who live on a gentle and fragile heart

※A creature born to be injured

Even so, today

You've really tried your best.

Despite making so many mistakes at the beginning, no one expected the turning point to come so quickly. The rock elements of "Walking with the Blue Sky" were challenging to perform, but their effect was very obvious and effectively stirred the excitement of the audience.

Many audience members were already waving their light sticks vigorously.

Xiangzi saw her boyfriend beside her making eye contact with the pink-haired girl on the stage. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Perhaps his mind was in sync with that pink-haired girl at that moment, both of them recalling their shared past.

This made Xiangzi feel a little annoyed, but in the end, Xiangzi did not disturb the other party. He just followed and watched the performance of his former teammates who had suffered so much.

Her eyes held a hint of envy; she wondered when she would be able to...

Even if you stumble and fall along the way

You still stood up again.

You always work so hard.

Just standing here right now

※They've already worked incredibly hard.

This is a poem that Gao Songdeng wrote for her, an encouragement to her. Every lyric seems to be written on Ai Yin's heart.

Thank you, little lamp.

With a slightly hazy look in her eyes, she recalled the boy's proposal to her. Then, the images in her mind quickly intertwined with the scene of Banami getting engaged to Toyokawa Shoko.

When exactly did she and he start to miss each other?

Is it because she always felt there was still time, and then found all sorts of reasons not to confess?

Or perhaps it was because she already knew that the outcome of her confession was predetermined, and that he, who already had someone else in his heart, would ultimately only gently reject her.

The process was rushed and not easy at all.

Even if we lose our way, I still want to move forward with you.

※May I

Aine looked at Hanami and said softly in her heart: But no matter what, thank you, Hanami-kun, for giving me so many wonderful memories.
