Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

The drum set, keyboards, bass, and two guitars were all placed in front of the wooden board, just as they were then.

The two men ran between the musical instruments. Arisaki didn't dare to fight back at all and just kept dodging.

Behind her, the iron mace was swung, and each blow shattered the ground and created a dent.

Sand: "When I realized it, you were already beside me."

Sand: "To you who keep running"

Sha: "Connect heart beat"

Arisaki went around the board and hid behind it, but Saaya smashed a hole in the board next to her and stepped in.

There is a picture of Saaya's bedroom painted on the wooden board.

The moment when the sunset froze outside the window was when Kasumi held Saaya's hand and said, "Let's think about it together."

Saaya was standing at the gap, and Arisaki quickly looked behind him, only to find that he had reached the edge of the stage.

The light shone on Sha Ling's face, but cast a half shadow.

"Arisaki," Saaya's iron mace was still hanging on the ground, "after this revue, I will confess my love to Kasumi."

Arisaki's heart sank.

"Given Kasumi's personality, she won't reject me even if she's not sincere," said Saaya.

Sand: "Just hold your hand once more"

Somehow, Arisaki rushed towards Saaya, wielding a naginata.

Saaya smiled with satisfaction and started a new round of battle with Arisaki.

Sand: "I heard music from far away"

Sand: "Keep moving forward with you"

Sand: Why is it so dazzling?

In the center of the stage, the collision of the naginata and the iron mace made a harsh friction sound.

"That's it, Arisaki!" Saaya shouted, "Use your full strength to fight me! I've already used my full strength! If you just take her so easily, I won't agree!"

"You don't have to say it!" Yusaki blushed, "How can I lose with my mood?"

The naginata slashed forward.

With a slight sound, a button flew high into the air.

Sha: "My heart beat"

Sand: “Your heart beat”

The music that had been lingering over the stage finally stopped.

Arisaki saw that Saaya's face was already covered with tears without her noticing.

But she smiled.

"As expected... I still can't beat Yusaki." She cried, her figure hidden by layers of curtains.

"…Position 0."

"The fourth day of the Audition is over."

On another stage, Mahiru helped Kasumi, who had been knocked to the ground, up.

“…Lost again.” It was hard to tell whether Kasumi was laughing or crying on her face.

Mahiru held the hammer and said, "But there is a more important Revue waiting for you later, right?"

Kasumi nodded.

"Go quickly." Mahiru waved and said goodbye to Kasumi who was running away.

When Kasumi was no longer visible, she knocked the hammer onto the T-shaped ground:

“Position 0. Let me shine on the stage where my dreams bloom.”

P.S.: The lyrics for this song are all copied from Saaya's character song. I looked at the lyrics after thinking about the plot this time, and found that they fit perfectly and can be used directly. It seems that I have no problem understanding the role. And it's really easy not to write the lyrics myself... The quality is more than one level higher than what I wrote myself...

Chapter 34 It will be like this in the future

Sa Ling walked calmly in the park.

As soon as she came back from the stage, she went to look for Kasumi, but she couldn't find her.

Everyone I met said they had never seen it.

It was a bit strange, since Kasumi was usually one of the most frequently seen people here.

She walked past a fork in the road and saw a pavilion.

Shizi was sitting inside reading a book.

Come to think of it, Shizi seemed to have been in the audience before?

You must have heard what I said and what Arisaki said.

It’s a bit shameful thinking back on it.

But now that the words have been said, there is no use regretting.

"Shizi, have you seen Kasumi?"

Shizi came back to his senses from the book and turned his head: "Ah? Ah. It seems to have gone that way."

She pointed in the direction of the airship's rear.

"Thank you." Sha Ling thanked him and went over there.

It shows that the son should concentrate on his books again.

Sha Ling heaved a sigh of relief. She was grateful that Shizi pretended to know nothing.

The tail of the airship.

There is a small open-air platform here. It was originally just a place for convenient maintenance, but people usually come here.

The noise of the engine is quite loud here, but the wind is very comfortable.

Today, there is no sound of engines and no constant strong wind, but the air is fresh.

Kasumi was standing here, leaning on the railing, looking at the barrier in the distance, wondering what she was thinking.

Steady footsteps were heard on the stairs behind me.

Kasumi's hands tightly gripped the railing.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the face, and Kasumi's hair flew up and floated backwards.

At this time, the door opened.

When Saaya opened the door, she saw Kasumi turning around with her hair flying.

Kasumi's expression was not her usual innocent look. There was a lingering melancholy between her eyebrows. When she saw Sa Ling, her eyes flickered for a moment, but she just nodded slightly without saying anything.

Sha Ling was stunned for a moment, then smiled with relief, stepped onto the platform and closed the door.

Now, there were only two of them in this small space.

The wind that had come from nowhere had stopped, and Saaya and Kasumi were lying side by side on the railing.

Sha Ling clenched and then released her hand.

Finally, hold it again.

"Kasumi," she said, "I like you."

Kasumi didn't answer immediately, but waited for her to continue.

"It's the love that I want to spend my whole life with." Sha Ling never thought that she could say it so easily.

Kasumi still didn't answer. Saaya could only continue to talk about how she fell in love with Kasumi and how her love for Kasumi changed.

Said a lot.

Kasumi just listened quietly.

In the end, Kasumi just looked into Saaya's eyes and said softly, "I'm sorry."

Sha Ling couldn't say anything.

She turned her face away.

Obviously, I had thought about it before coming here.

I've obviously cried.

But I couldn't help but shed tears.

"Saaya," Kasumi held Saaya's shoulders, "Thank you. Thank you for liking me, and thank you for saying it."

"You..." Sha Ling tried hard to hold back her sobs, "You knew it a long time ago, right? As soon as I came in... I noticed it."

"Yeah." The hand on Sha Ling's shoulder shook slightly, "But it was not long ago. I heard your confession in Star Beat. Since then, I have been thinking about how to respond."

"But, it seems like no matter how I reply, it will hurt Sa Ling." A pair of arms came from behind and hugged Sa Ling, "I'm sorry."

don't want……

Even though he rejected me, he still hugged me so closely...

How can I bear this...

As if she heard Saaya's inner voice, Kasumi said softly, "I will hold you like this in the future. I will also smell the bread fragrance on Saaya's body like this. It will be the same as before."

A miserable smile appeared on Sha Ling's face.

"Then, I will be the same as before." Saaya held the hands that were around her and looked at the closed door. "Arisaki, are you relieved now?"

The door opened.

Arisaki stood at the door with his head down, remaining silent.

Sa Ling took a step forward, walked out of Kasumi's arms, wiped the tears from her face, turned around and looked at the two of them: "I will bless you."

"Finally, let me cause a little more trouble."

Before Kasumi and Arisaki could react, Saaya had already disappeared from the door.

Kasumi raised her hand stupidly and stroked the faint marks on her cheek.

Arisaki stood in front of Kasumi silently, her palms already clenched until they turned red.

"Kasumi." She said in a low voice, suddenly raised her head and looked at Kasumi.

Her hands firmly held Kasumi's face.

At the door of her room, Saaya ran into Rimi and Tae.

They were obviously waiting for Sa Ling. Sa Ling adjusted her expression so that they wouldn't notice anything unusual and greeted them normally: "What's wrong?"

Rimi lowered her head, feeling embarrassed for a long time: "Um... Xiao Shaling, shall we make dinner?"

"You guys do it?" Sha Ling just remembered that she was supposed to cook today.

Duohui made a gesture: "Rabbit conch bun~"

Rimi nodded quickly.

"Oh——" Sa Ling finally showed a little genuine smile, "I'm looking forward to it."

Dinner was really a mountain of rabbit and conch buns, without any exception.

Sha Ling and everyone else could only eat it with a helpless smile.

But it’s delicious.

During the whole dinner, the atmosphere between Sa-ling, Arisaki, and Kasumi was not natural. As if she couldn't stand it, Arisaki finished eating quickly and went somewhere unknown. Sa-ling's heart twisted, and she quickly ate her fill.

She was about to leave the bar, but was stopped by Arisaki at the corner of the door.

Under the light of the corridor, Arisaki did not look into Saaya's eyes.

"I... like Kasumi the most," she said, "but I like Saaya, Satomi, and Megumin the most. That's it, that's all I have to say."
