Gravity Girl Shining

"Takamatsu-san, could you share the LINE accounts of your former band members with me?"

Although he felt emotional, Gao Songdeng calmed down and was not too shaken. He did not ask the reason and just completed the operation silently.

Seeing the girl climbing the stairs to go home, Uehara Hibiki showed a determined expression and began to apply to be her friend.

Exclude Toyokawa Shoko first, no need for another.

Next, Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Suyo, and Shiina Tatsuki all sent in their applications, introducing themselves in a simple sentence.

"I'm Takamatsu Deng, I have something urgent I want to talk to you about."

Ding ding ding, three people quickly sent in friend requests, followed by a series of text message bombardments.

Wakaba Mu was the simplest, saying only, "I have ballet classes tonight, so I can't meet you."

Nagasaki Sushi was ordinary. She exchanged a few formal pleasantries, quickly agreed on a time and place, and then began to ask in a roundabout way about the current situation of the lights.

As for Shiina Riki, who is even more important, he received dozens of text messages continuously. He first asked if Deng was in trouble, then questioned the relationship between Uehara Hibiki and Takamatsu Deng, and asked what was going on and insisted on a face-to-face meeting. It was obvious that he was impatient.

Only Uehara Hibiki was a little concerned. The final agreed location for Shiina Riki was the same as the one sent by Nagasaki Motoyo before, both of which were the coffee shop on the second floor of RING.

Is it a coincidence? In just a few minutes, the two of them communicated?

In that case, it is clear that after the band disbanded, they maintained a certain degree of communication and did not escape from music like Takamatsu Tomo and Toyokawa Shoko, but continued to perform in LIVEHOUSE.

This is also a good idea. Not only does it save time, but it also saves money on treating people to tea.

As Hibiki Uehara had guessed before, Takamatsu Teru cut off contact with former members after leaving the band, otherwise they would not be so eager to ask a stranger about Takamatsu Teru's current situation.

Uehara Hibiki breathed a sigh of relief and slowly boarded the train. Before reaching his destination, he decided to have a quick chat with Mutsuki Wakaba.

…………

Ten minutes later, Uehara Hibiki made the following judgment.

Ruo Ye Mu is a girl who values ​​words like gold and has no money.

Although they had never met, just from the phone messages, Uehara Hibiki could feel a strong aura of "Three Noes".

Not only is the total number of words small, but more importantly, if Ye Mu sends a variety of short sentences or even words, and there is a lack of connection between different sentences, it really makes people worry about her Chinese grade.

Fortunately, her strength is her emotional stability. Compared to the other four members of the band, Wakaba Mu is very calm. With her help, Uehara Hibiki roughly understands the story of the band CRYCHIC.

From Tsuki no Mori are keyboardist Shoko Toyokawa, guitarist Mutsushi Wakaba, and bassist Suyo Nagasaki.

From the drummer Tatsuki Shiina of Haneda.

and lead vocalist Tomo Takamatsu.

The five of them formed a band called CRYCHIC at the end of May last year, during the first semester of their third year of junior high school.

It will last for about two weeks and will be performed on stage for a LIVE in early June.

After his first LIVE, Xiangzi never participated in rehearsals again.

Not long after, on a rainy day, Xiangzi announced his withdrawal from CRYCHIC, and the band fell apart.

From its creation to its disbandment, CRYCHIC's lifespan was less than a month.

In response to this, Uehara Hibiki silently said——

Oh my god, are you guys still together? A month without the band has become such a heavy obsession. I used to think you guys were in the band for three years in junior high and only broke up after graduation.

If Ye Mu can't provide help, that's all.

No one knows the reason why Toyokawa Shoko left the group, Shoko's current situation, why Deng thought she sang badly, or whether Shoko was angry with Deng...

It sounds a bit fake, but she is confident.

As for Gao Song Deng's singing, Miss Ruo Ye Mu gave it a sharp review.

"Good."

What a powerful force of the three-nothings, to be able to describe a band's disbanding without any emotion, as if it were written in writing. Uehara Hibiki had always believed that people in bands were more emotional, after all, music conveys emotions, but now he just wanted to ask one question.

Ms. Wakaba Mutsu, do you really like the band?

Chapter 10 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick

After finishing his chat with Wakaba Mutsu, Uehara Hibiki searched for CRYCHIC and found the account's homepage. It had a measly 35 followers—presumably someone they'd forgotten to unfollow—and only 12 posts, all of which were rehearsal pictures.

The latest update is a photo of the five of them, with the caption: "Tomorrow is the premiere, we will all cheer together!"

As expected, just like Ye Mu, the band ceased activities after their first live performance and eventually disbanded. In a sense, this perfectly fits Uehara Hibiki's stereotype of student bands: they follow the trend for a while, then get hit hard by reality during the live performance, lose their bearings, recognize the gap, and go their separate ways.

Considering that Toyokawa Shoko's keyboard skill level is as high as LV4 super professional grade, it is understandable that she dislikes her teammates' low skill level, but it is not an option emotionally.

That wish, "I wish you happiness," became Hibiki Uehara's stereotype of Toyokawa Shoko. Although Toyokawa Shoko is now like a pufferfish, angry and prickly, she should retain her gentleness and kindness in her heart.

Uehara Hibiki is willing to believe in her true character, a good person.

Out of privacy concerns, Uehara Hibiki did not mention Toyokawa Shoko's current situation to Wakaba Mu during the conversation. Although it was a bit unfair for Wakaba Mu to disclose her information, he had promised Toyokawa Shoko not to reveal her situation to anyone else.

However, after learning the core secret of the family's fortune, the mystery of Toyokawa Shoko's withdrawal from the group was half revealed to Uehara Hibiki.

No, it should be 80%, mostly because of poverty.

After all, when you can barely get enough to eat, how can you have the time to play in a band? Junior high school students who form hobby bands usually have varying levels of skill. Toyokawa Shoko, who leads four bands on his own, doesn't even have the ability to monetize.

Originally, Uehara Hibiki and Toyokawa Shoko hadn't thought they would give up the Tsuki no Mori Scholarship, but now it's clear that she was originally a student of Tsuki no Mori. As a school for young ladies, scholarships are a means of attracting students from outside the school, and they are not available to students on campus. After all, young ladies don't need money at all.

Unfortunately, Toyokawa Shoko was not a young lady. She was like the Weaver Girl in the sky, who fell into the house next to a poor boy with a plop.

But if you think about it, that doesn't make sense. Why didn't Toyokawa Shoko go pro after leaving the band? Even those with lower skills than her planned to become mercenaries. She possesses Level 4 super-professional talent, and her personality, knowledge, and appearance are all top-notch. She's built on the gimmick of being a beautiful keyboard player. If she doesn't sign with a professional band, she could probably earn more by doing a YouTube livestream than working a part-time job.

It's so confusing. I thought the mystery was solved, but there was another mystery after the other.

The core issue is not the problem. We just need to find the source of her misunderstanding and then find a way to eliminate it. As for the problem of Toyokawa Shoko, it can be solved slowly.

Back to CRYCHIC's last post, Uehara Hibiki was staring at the five people above. Deng and Xiangzi knew them both. It was quite refreshing to see them wearing different school uniforms.

Wakaba Mutsu is easy to recognize, and his aura can be felt just from the photo. He has no expression at all. Shiina Ritsuki is the only one wearing the Yugaoka uniform, holding drumsticks. She has a beautiful face and a good figure. It's too unfair.

As for Nagasaki Soyo, with long brown hair, blue eyes, a gentle smile, and wearing a Tsuki no Mori uniform, she looks exactly like the person sitting opposite her.

amount……

Uehara Hibiki raised his cell phone and repeatedly compared the person in the photo with the girl opposite him.

What a coincidence.

Looking at the girl's expression opposite him, Uehara Hibiki could only sigh inwardly, realizing that his plan had failed.

Takamatsu Touma's house is not far from Tsuki no Mori. If Nagasaki Soyo receives the news during the club activity and then leaves directly from school, he can indeed catch the same train faster.

Because Takamatsu Deng himself cut off contact with the two, Uehara Kyubun went home first to change into casual clothes to avoid being discovered by the two of them about Takamatsu Deng's school and not leaking any information.

But now, they met. In the empty carriage, with only the beautiful girl, was it lucky or unlucky?

"Hello, Nagasaki Soushi-kun?"

"May I ask where we shall meet?"

As expected of Miss Tsuki no Mori, her words are elegant, gentle, and coherent, much more normal than Xiangzi and Mu. Uehara Hibiki unilaterally announced that Tsuki no Mori would keep its golden signboard and have normal students.

Uehara Hibiki turned her phone around, revealing the CRYCHIC photo. "Although it was a bit unexpected, sometimes there are coincidences. I contacted you before, Uehara Hibiki."

[Congratulations to the host on your encounter...]

"Okay, I know, shut up." Uehara Hibiki hurriedly turned off the system notification sound, not noticing that for a brief moment, a shadow flashed across the face of the girl in front of him.

Haneda school uniform...I see, Deng goes to Haneda.

Taking the tram in this direction, could he be coming from Deng's house?

It seems that his relationship with Deng is closer than I thought.

So, we must calm down before Li Xi messes up in a moment of impulse.

Then, Nagasaki Soyo's gentle voice brought Uehara Hibiki's attention back to reality.

"It's indeed a coincidence, Uehara-kun. Although I'm a little anxious, can you tell me if Xiao Deng is in trouble? I've been worried about her. Please."

Nagasaki Shoyo lowered his head deeply and made the request in a very humble manner.

Uehara Hibiki's eyes were filled with tears. Finally, finally someone comforted me. Miss Tsukinomori, a super beautiful girl.

"No need to make such a formal request, I'd feel embarrassed." Uehara Hibiki was in a good mood, and the smile on his face was even brighter.

"Deng is also my friend, and I want to help her solve her problem. Deng has always had a knot in her heart about the disbandment of your former band, CRYCHIC. Although it may cause you to have difficult memories, I want to know the specific details of the day it disbanded."

"sure."

Nagasaki Soushi immediately agreed to Uehara Hibiki's request without hesitation, as if she had guessed what he wanted. Then, with an expression of incomparable tenderness and nostalgia, she recounted to Uehara Hibiki the story of that rainy day.

"It sounds like Deng is completely right, but that girl named Toyokawa Shoko..."

"Shoko's not wrong!" Nagasaki Shoyo interrupted Uehara Hibiki, then she switched to a look of regret. "Shoko must have had his reasons, and the band's disbandment wasn't anyone's fault. It was just that at the time, we were all too impulsive and didn't communicate properly."

There are indeed difficulties, difficulties that you can't even imagine. Now that Uehara Hibiki has the answer to the question, he can naturally see that the person involved is unable to understand the key point.

"I've always thought that as long as we communicate well, we can definitely resolve the misunderstanding and get back together. Uehara-kun, can you tell me if Deng is okay now?"

Although she was asking questions, Nagasaki Soyo had already prepared Uehara Hibiki's answer. After all, if the lights were working fine, why would Uehara Hibiki rush to find them to decipher the information? Uehara Hibiki's answer was naturally within Nagasaki Soyo's plan.

"Takamatsu is not doing well. She still thinks the band's disbanding was a mistake. If she doesn't address the guilt she feels inside, she won't be able to move on."

Sure enough, Deng was injured because of that incident.

Even though he defends Toyokawa Shoko to others, Nagasaki Shoyo knows that Shoko did hurt everyone that day. To rebuild CRYCHIC, he must mend the rift Shoko created. If he can convince a man to meet Deng, he'll surely be able to persuade her to come back. And then, Shoko, who has the most special feelings for Deng, will...

The tram arrived at the platform, interrupting Nagasaki Sose's inner plans.

The two came to RING, but Uehara Hibiki never came to the cafe. After all, he didn't have the spare money and didn't have a habit of drinking coffee.

After entering the door, Uehara Hibiki looked around for his target, and Nagasaki Soyo walked to the counter to greet him.

"Lixi, I'm here. I contacted our classmate Uehara before the convenience, and we happened to meet on the train. Come on."

"By chance?"

Familiar face, familiar teardrop mole, familiar curves. Although they have never met, Uehara Hibiki is quite familiar with her body, referring to the photos.

Shiina Riki was wearing a RING work uniform, staring at me with a displeased look. What a beautiful face. She actually works there part-time, what a coincidence.

Uehara Hibiki smiled and waved, then found an empty seat and sat down. Nagasaki Soyo seemed to be trying to persuade them at the counter, and Shiina Riki finally put away his guarded attitude.

After ordering some drinks, the three of them sat down and Uehara Hibiki repeated his words to Nagasaki Souyo. However, Shiina Riki's answer was much more direct than Nagasaki Souyo's.

"The lamp is not wrong, Quan Xiangzi is wrong..."

"How dare you blame Deng like that? She's clearly..."

"Shuangshi, are you going to excuse her? At that time..."

A relatively objective statement, but mixed with a huge amount of emotional connotations.

Shiina Tatsuki, a fanatical supporter of Takamatsu Deng, while complaining about Xiangzi, also launched a ruthless attack on Nagasaki Soyo who defended Xiangzi.

Uehara Hibiki was thinking quietly. Among the five members of CRYCHIC, Shoko Fugu, Denpa Teng, Tachibana, and Sanmu, only the mother Gentle Souyo was working hard to raise the children.

The good old days of big girl bands?

CRYCHIC, you have the magic to gather such a group of talented people. No other girl band has you.

Chapter 11 The lead singer works too hard

In any case, from three people, three different perspectives, Uehara Hibiki barely pieced together the whole picture of what happened on the day CRYCHIC disbanded.

Have you listened to the story of Ku Lai Xi Ku?

The second year of Reiwa…the rest is omitted.

"In short, that day Toyokawa Shoko reprimanded Takamatsu-san and told her to practice well."

"Yes, that guy..."

"Li Xibie."

Although Shiina Tachibana was very angry, because Uehara Hibiki had preconceived Toyokawa Shoko's position, he was able to discern more hidden meanings.

"But Toyokawa Shoko said before and after, let Takamatsu-san continue to practice, and let CRYCHIC continue to exist even after she leaves."

Just as Uehara Hibiki had seen in RING before, the girl band can function without keyboards, and guitar, bass and drums are the core components.
