Gravity Girl Shining

Unable to deny it, Toyokawa Shoko could only subconsciously play the escape deck and forcibly shift the topic to other directions.

Watching Toyokawa Shoko eagerly change the subject, Nagasaki Suyo took a deep breath, looked around, and took in everyone's reactions. Then, she prepared to launch her final attack.

"Xiangzi, Deng, Lixi, Mu, I hope to revive Crychic. We used to be so happy, but it suddenly fell apart, what a pity. It was because we couldn't communicate well that Crychic disbanded, and there were too many misunderstandings and grudges. But now is the opportunity. The five of us can get back together. No matter what conflicts we have, we can talk about them and resolve them. As long as Crychic is revived, those happy days will come again. Of course, it won't affect MyGo. You can rest assured about this Deng. Xiang also supports me. After all, it's common to be in multiple bands. It's okay."

"Well, in that case, I..."

Honestly, Takamatsu was tempted. Because of Uehara Hibiki, MyGo far outweighed Crychic in her heart. But Takamatsu was always greedy. When faced with a choice, she actually wanted to say "I want it all" rather than just one.

Now, Nagasaki Suyo has given her a better third choice, and Xiang also supports her.

So, if it doesn't affect MyGo...

Looking at the moved expression on Takamatsu Deng's face, Toyokawa Shoko took a step back timidly.

No, light!

If you were the one who asked, I wouldn't be able to...

Noticing Toyokawa Shoko's subconscious retreat, Nagasaki Suyo continued to smile. Indeed, MyGo and Crychic were not in conflict; Hibiki had indeed helped her open up a smooth path.

Things went just as planned. The lamp could not refuse Xiangzi, and similarly, Xiangzi could not refuse the lamp.

As long as they can be brought together, the deadlock at both ends will have a chance to be transformed into a fuse that is lit at both ends.

In this way, Crychic's resurrection is a foregone conclusion.

I won.

Nagasaki Suyo declared this in her heart.

“I object!”×2.

Suddenly, two voices sounded at the same time. Nagasaki Suyo's smile stopped instantly and she looked at the other two in disbelief.

There was no place for them in the original plan.

Shiina Riki should follow Takamatsu Touma's lead, and Wakaba Mutsu will only obey every decision made by Toyokawa Shoko.

Moreover, Shiina Riki's opposition is still somewhat within the possibility of logical deduction, but Mu?

Why would she object?

Shouldn't Mu be my companion?

In every conversation we had in Moon Forest, weren't you always supporting me?

As if betrayed by the person closest to her, Nagasaki Suyo opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Wakaba Mu looked at Shiina Riki who was also in shock, nodded slightly, and signaled her to speak first.

"Then let me be clear, Nagasaki Suyo, your idea is terrible. What do you think a professional band is? What was the promise that Xiang made to us?"

Different from Nagasaki Suyo who neglected practice, different from Nagasaki Suyo who was obsessed with the "band atmosphere" rather than music.

Shiina Riki is a person with dreams, and even Crychic and the light cannot stop her.

She understood the absolute disparity in talent between Uehara Hibiki and the rest of the MyGo team. To catch up with Uehara Hibiki and become a worthy teammate, Shiina Riki had already made a secret vow in her heart.

Divide your energy to play multiple bands?

Uehara Hibiki has this margin, but Shiina Riki does not. She has burned up everything just to catch up with Uehara Hibiki.

So, what about you, Nagasaki Suyo? Are you worthy?

"Did you try your best?"

Chapter 84: Nagasaki Sushi invites Toyokawa Shoko three times (Part 2)

"I……"

Faced with Shiina Riki's questioning, Nagasaki Suyo was speechless. Her mood was as dark as the night sky of Asukayama Park.

She wanted to lie and tell everyone that she would try her best, but she couldn't do it.

Nagasaki Suyo had no way of lying about Uehara Hibiki. After all, he had indulged himself in his own willfulness and paranoia for so long.

Her fingers twisted unconsciously together, their tips turning slightly white, as if she could grasp something, grasp those long-gone days, grasp those warmth and laughter that once belonged to Crychic. However, reality was like a sharp knife, mercilessly severing Nagasaki Suyo's fantasy.

"Silence? Fortunately, you didn't try to lie. You are not hopeless."

Shiina Riki's voice softened a little, but still held unquestionable determination.

"I will not join Crychic. This is my decision."

This sentence was like a heavy hammer. Nagasaki Suyo felt dizzy and the scene before her eyes began to blur, as if the whole world was spinning. She almost couldn't stand and wanted to grab something, but she could only grab a piece of nothingness, which made her more awake in the pain.

Nagasaki Suyo has no one to rely on.

But this is not the end. Shiina Riki's speech continues.

"Tomo, remember what Hibiki once told you? He wanted to see you sing with all your might. I... I feel the same way. If Tomo had to sing with all your might, which band would you sing for? Crychic, or MyGo?"

Gao Songdeng had almost no hesitation, as she already had the answer to this question in her heart.

"MyGo."

Takamatsu Deng's eyes remained unwavering. Though usually timid and inarticulate, at this moment, her resolve was clearer than anyone else's, and her response was quicker than anyone could have anticipated. After all, in Deng's eyes, there were only two options: "Choose MyGo" or "Take It All." "Choosing Crychic" was a completely unthinkable possibility from the start.

"lamp."

After hearing Deng's words, Xiangzi and Lixi both showed relieved expressions.

Ruo Yemu's expression remained calm, as if all this was within her expectations, or rather, within Xiang's expectations. Then, according to his prior instructions, Su Shi should be completely defeated here.

Do not break or stand.

Wakaba Mu was afraid that if she spoke, things would get worse. But Uehara Hibiki also made a promise to her that as long as she said what he taught her, no matter what happened, Uehara Hibiki would take care of everything.

Therefore, if Ye Mu spoke, her voice was very soft, as if it came from far away, but with an unquestionable calmness.

"Sushi, I won't be joining Crychic either. Xiang has already formed a new band, AveMujica, and I've agreed to join it."

"Ugh?"

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned, her mind was blank, as if all the sounds disappeared in an instant. Nagasaki Suyo looked at Toyokawa Shoko blankly, trying to find a hint of explanation from her expression.

Toyokawa Shoko hadn't expected Mujica to say this at this moment, but it wasn't a secret after all. The AveMujica vs. MyGo match was a promise she'd made with Uehara Hibiki, and sooner or later, everyone would have to know about it. So she nodded, a complex look in her eyes, a mix of apology and determination.

"That's right, Sushi. I'm preparing to form a new band. Crychic is completely over for me. Sushi, it's time for you to let it go."

Toyokawa Shoko's words were like a final verdict, completely shattering Nagasaki Suyo's last hope. As her hope was shattered, she despairingly realized another thing: neither Shiina Tatsuki nor Takamatsu Tomo had shown any difficulty accepting Toyokawa Shoko's formation of a new band.

They didn't care at all that the hope of Crychic's resurrection was completely extinguished.

It turned out that I was the only one who was kept in the dark.

It turns out that I am the only one still clinging to the past.

Everyone misses Crychic and that time full of laughter and music.

But no one wants Crychic to be resurrected, and no one wants to go back to that broken past.

Only Nagasaki Suyo was struggling in vain. She had once believed that if she worked hard enough, persisted enough, she could make everything go back to the way it was before. Nagasaki Suyo tried to convince everyone, trying to impress them with gentle words and a sincere attitude. But now, she finally realized that all this was just wishful thinking.

The nails broke due to the force, and the pain surged from the fingertips to the heart. Tears flowed uncontrollably, sliding down Nagasaki Suye's cheeks and dripping onto the ground with a slight sound.

"No, I'm working hard for everyone. I just want everyone to be happy. I..."

Nagasaki Suyo's voice had become weak, and she just kept repeating the lies that had been exposed before until she could no longer continue.

No one spoke, and a suffocating silence filled the air.

Everyone's speeches just now have completely revealed their respective attitudes, and also represent another fact: Nagasaki Suyo has never been qualified to represent everyone. She is just using this excuse to give her actions a layer of legitimacy.

And now, this false veneer has been torn off.

"No, please, if it weren't for Crychic, I..."

Nagasaki Suyo could no longer maintain her usual elegance and composure. She screamed at the top of her lungs, no longer trying to maintain the lie of "for everyone". Her selfishness was completely exposed to everyone.

"What do you want me to do to get you to come back and reorganize Crychic? I'm willing to do anything I can!"

Nagasaki Suyo's voice was filled with a desperate plea, like a drowning person grasping at a straw. Her eyes were full of pleading, as if she was expecting someone to respond to her plea, even if it was just a false lie.

But no one responded to her.

Nagasaki Suyo looked at everyone, Shiina Riki turned her head away, as if she didn't want to look at her anymore; Takamatsu Deng lowered her head, her fingers fiddling with the corner of her clothes nervously, wanting to say something but not knowing how to organize the words; Wakaba Mutsu still had a blank expression, as if all this had nothing to do with her.

As for Toyokawa Shoko, she still stood straight, but her shoulders were trembling slightly. She was suppressing her emotions, but the guilt in her eyes further hurt Nagasaki Suyo.

Nagasaki Suyo's body trembled slightly, as if she would collapse at any moment. Her mind was in chaos, with countless images and sounds intertwined, making it almost impossible for her to think.

I'm going to fall down.

I can't hold on any longer.

What will happen if you fall?

That’s right, fall down, kneel down!

If you just kneel down and beg, you will definitely be able to...

Nagasaki Suyo completely lost her mind. Her knees bent and she tried to kneel in the cold puddle, using self-abuse to gain others' mercy.

But at this moment, a voice broke the silence.

"Su Shi, it's time to end."

It was Uehara Hibiki's voice. He grabbed Nagasaki Suyo's arm before she could kneel down, forcing her to stand so she wouldn't actually kneel on the ground in front of everyone.

Su Shi raised her head and looked at the caring face, and suddenly felt a sense of grievance. Her lips trembled as she tried to say something, but in the end she could only squeeze out a tearful word.

"I just……"

Hibiki Uehara once promised Nagasaki Suyo that he would not interfere with Suyo's efforts to reorganize Crychic.

But in his heart, he did have a clear bottom line, which was to preserve Nagasaki Suyo's last dignity when everything was finalized.

Therefore, when he appeared, it was truly over.

It was as if Cinderella's magic had failed, and Uehara Hibiki's indulgence of Nagasaki Suyo was not unlimited.

Su Shi, it’s time to wake up from the dream.

In the face of Nagasaki Suyo's begging, Uehara Hibiki just shook his head and said nothing more. He just stood quietly beside her, supporting her body with his warm and powerful big hand.

Thus, reason returned to Nagasaki Suyo's mind.

It turns out that I have no chance anymore?

Nagasaki Suyo stared blankly at Uehara Hibiki, then turned around to look at everyone in a daze, and finally her sight fell on Mount Asuka in the night. But in this darkness, there was only a beam of light from the signal tower on the top of the mountain.

And beside Nagasaki Suyo, there was also a light shining on her. The light was very weak, but it gave her a glimmer of hope.

Maybe, this is the answer.

It’s like waking up from a dream, it feels like a lifetime ago.

With the help of Uehara Hibiki, Nagasaki Suyo slowly stood up. Her legs were still a little weak, but she forced herself to stand firmly.

Her eyes swept over everyone, and finally, Nagasaki Suyo's gaze stopped at Toyokawa Shoko. This time, there was no longer any pleading in her eyes, but instead a complex emotion, like relief, but also like determination.

"I understand."

Nagasaki Suyo's voice was a little hoarse, but it carried an unprecedented firmness.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I won't dwell on the past anymore."

With that, Nagasaki Suyo, supported by Uehara Hibiki, took a difficult step and turned to leave. Her back, though still fragile, held an indescribable strength. Her steps were slow but firm. Her figure gradually vanished into the night, as if blending into the darkness.

"Then I'll take my leave, Deng, Lixi, I will always support MyGo from now on. Mu, let's go."

Toyokawa Shoko's voice broke the silence. Her tone was calm and indifferent, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Deng, I'll take you back."

Chihaya Aine stood in the distance, watching the crowd leave one after another, swallowing hard. Her heart was filled with mixed emotions: sympathy for Suze, yet also fear for Crychic. As Hibiki had said, the Crychic members were truly terrifying, and she was left trembling with fear.

However, it has finally come to an end.

Aiyin turned to look at Lenai and said softly, "Lena, it's time for us to go back."

The cat girl nodded, and looked at the backs of the Crychic people as they left, with an imperceptible emotion flashing in her eyes.
