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

"Dong——" Yazi made a drumming gesture beside him, "Bang——!"

"Among the people in Roselia... I will be the first one to take the night shift... Before that... I can keep practicing..." said Rinko.

The next class after Hongxia is Rinko. It looks like they will indeed practice until Rinko starts her night duty.

Shizi looked towards the candlelight in the distance and said, "This is the charm of Roselia."

"That's what she said, but some people never participate in band practice." Shizi turned around and saw Hongxia shaking her triangular hair and looking at her with a pouty look on her face, pretending to be angry.

Shizi was a little ashamed: "...I'm sorry."

Hongxia did not continue the topic. She just patted Shizi on the shoulder and said, "Well, the preparations for the stage this time still depend on you. We still have things to do for the upcoming joint live. Come on, little Shizi, and little Shizi." She walked past Shizi and headed towards Roselia.

It's time to change shifts.

Chapter 13: "Ensemble" Swiss "clothing"

As long as it doesn't rain, the sun here is still very scorching. A sunshade was set up on the raft, and the river breeze with cool water vapor on the river successfully brought everyone back to life.

"Thank you--" Everyone expressed their gratitude to Shi Zi, the greatest contributor.

"Before I say thank you," Shizi lifted up his wet clothes, "can you tell me what happened first?"

Shizi saw that everyone's clothes had large water stains, but they didn't look like sweat. Shizi loosened his hands, and the wet fabric immediately stuck to his skin, which was cool.

"We've been spraying water to cool you down before you wake up." Youxina sat at the head of the line with a serious look in his eyes.

Her body was the wettest. One could imagine what kind of water fight they had had earlier.

"Hurry up and change your clothes, or you'll catch a cold." Shizi put down the same light green water gun as Nomiki's and opened the box where the clothes were kept.

The interior is neatly filled with black, white and grey T-shirts and denim shorts.

"Ha..." Kita looked at the inside of the box with a look of disgust, "What a dreamless wardrobe."

Nowadays, the clothes they wear everyday are all made directly by Shizi. Due to her status as a otaku, it is basically impossible for her to design clothes with any new styles.

Shizi rubbed her chin and shook her hands. Another white T-shirt appeared. She shook it again and the scenery on the riverbank was printed on the shirt. It was a perfect restoration. She showed the freshly-made design to Kita: "How is it?"

Kita looked at her with a death glare: "Are you serious?"

Is it ugly? Shizi looked at it again in confusion. It looked quite refreshing with all the colorful colors. It was indeed much better than the previous monochrome color.

When she looked up, she found that everyone was looking at her with awkward eyes.

Especially Rinko, she seemed to have a lot to say but couldn't say anything. The same thing happened to Nijika and Ichiri... Ichiri, you should just forget it.

While admiring Ichiri's fashion sense, she also awkwardly turned her eyes away from the fabric that was pressed against his skin.

Shizi threw the clothes in his hand, and the clothes turned into colorful butterfly-shaped confetti in mid-air and flew into the sky.

"This move is quite nice..." Kita's eyes sparkled as he followed the flying butterflies up into the sky.

"Oh right," Hong Xia suddenly remembered something, "Since we are going to hold a joint live, we have to design a set of performance costumes first!"

The members of the band Ending just remembered that they had never had a set of actual performance clothes in such a long time since the band was founded. They used to wear the uniforms of Shizi, which were plain and simple. Compared with the gorgeous, elegant or unique performance clothes in the CD, the performance clothes of the band Ending were simply too simple.

"Then..." Shizi raised her hand. Hongxia immediately stretched out her hand to interrupt her: "This time, Shizi is not allowed to participate in the design."

Shizi was helpless and leaned close to Hongxia's ear and said, "Actually, I mean I remember what your performance costumes looked like in another world line."

Hong Xia's eyes lit up: "Really?"

So Shizi took out a pure black T-shirt with a white band logo.

"pass."

"This is another one you designed yourself."

Hong Xia held her forehead with her hand: "But we wear this style of clothes every day now... I'm sorry, but thinking about wearing this on stage makes me feel a little..."

Shizi's eyes were somewhat pleading: "I will work hard to design daily clothes in the future. At least please use this one for the performance costumes."

"I'm sorry..." Hongxia tried her best not to show her expression.

"Please, what should I do to make you accept this one? I'm willing to do anything I can..." Shizi showed a bad expression and grabbed Hongxia's hand.

"Is it really necessary to be so serious...!" Hongxia avoided Shizi's face, laughing and crying. Until Liang helped her out - she patted Shizi's shoulder with a look of disgust.

"You are a person who only thinks about yourself." She inadvertently brought up Shi Zi's joke, "Let me, an expert in the field of second-hand clothing stores, teach you what real dressing is--" Liang picked up a piece of white paper and started drawing on it quickly.

Several heads popped over, and Liang was just finishing the last stroke. She wiped her forehead generously: "It's so easy."

The costumes for the five people have been drawn on the white paper. Unlike the uniform costume designed by Shizi, the costumes designed by Liang for the five people are different, but there is a strange sense of unity. They look more like fashion clothes on the catwalk than stage costumes, and at the same time reflect the personality characteristics of the five people. Fashion and individuality coexist, and there is nothing wrong with them.

On the other hand, Roselia was also worried about her performance costumes.

"Do you want to... design a new... set of costumes... for this performance?" Rinko had long been fed up with the regular clothes made by Shiko. As the costume maker for Roselia, she was itching to make a set of clothes that conformed to Roselia's aesthetics - at least normal aesthetics.

"Okay——" Yazi raised her fist. She had long wanted to wear the cool clothes designed by Linlin! Shizi is cool in everything except his fashion sense!

"Aren't the costumes from last performance still in the box?" Yukina said.

The clothes had not been worn many times since the time travel, and although the conditions were limited, they were still well preserved and only needed a little tidying up before they could be used.

"But... compared to before... Roselia... has changed... so..." Rinko insisted, "we should have different performance costumes..."

Yukina's expression changed slightly.

"Change... huh..." Yukina fell into reminiscence, "I remember that you also made new performance costumes for us at that time." She was talking about the experience of Roselia's rebirth after her failed performance on the SWEET MUSIC SHOWER.

Recalling that experience, Rinko smiled and said, "Yes... although compared to that time... our changes are not that big... but... we can still make some new attempts..."

"Okay. Let's make new costumes then." Yukina agreed.

"Necessary materials... we need to rely on Wu..." Linzi stood up, and seeing Shizi's enthusiastic attitude, she sat back down awkwardly. When Shizi was crouching dejectedly on the side, she carefully went over and took out the list of materials.

"Hmm? What feathers? What lace? This...what kind of purple is it? Lace? What pattern?" Unfortunately, Shizi had almost no knowledge in the field of clothing.

In the end, Rinko could only make some minor changes to the original performance costumes.

"Although I don't think so..." Hongxia squatted beside Shizi and tapped her cheek, "Little Shizi wouldn't deliberately pretend that she couldn't make the raw materials, so that Senior Linzi could only use the original costume, right?"

"Although this sounds like something I would do, I won't." Shizi said, "I am obsessed with the performance clothes of the end band only because in the original work, the end band always wears the same set of clothes. In Bang Dream, the performance clothes of each band will change according to the occasion. I can't accept it."

"As for you, you readily accepted the band's new performance uniforms," said Hong Xia.

Shizi turned his head away: "She is like this anyway...Anyway, it's her who goes on stage, not me."

"How dare you say that..."

As the sun sets, Yukina is helping Rinko tidy up her clothes.

"Thank you...Yukina-san..."

"It's okay." Yukina picked up the scissors, "I just want to try my best to make a difference."

Chapter 14 Black Shit

The band was sitting in the small tent. Suddenly a beam of light came in.

"Ah, little Shizi is here." Hongxia looked up. Shizi had just opened the curtain and walked in.

She had just learned from Roselia. Due to her ability and schedule, she was given the responsibility of creating the stage in this joint live. In order to achieve a better stage effect, she asked Roselia, who had performed many live shows, for advice. Her little notebook was already full of notes - much more serious than when she was in school at Xiuhua, and she took out the attitude of studying in her previous life. Although it is impossible to build the same stage here as in reality, Shizi will definitely give her all.

"Okay - now that everyone is here, I declare that the joint live program list decision meeting will begin now -" Hong Xia raised her fist high.

"Oh——" followed by four responses in different tones.

"This time, each team has time for three songs." Hong Xia tapped casually on the notebook with a pencil.

"How many songs do we have now?" Shizi counted on his fingers, "'Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet', 'Before Getting Up' or 'That Band', 'Light of the Ether', 'Reappearance of the Past', 'First Day of Sailing'... 6 songs, no, let's count them as 5."

"Forget about 'Light of the Ether'?" Hongxia felt that they probably wouldn't play this song again until they had completed their revenge, "The same goes for 'Past Reappearance'."

"Why?" Shizi wondered, but he didn't ask any more questions. "Then there are only three songs left, so just arrange them in order."

“As for the order, it’ll be BLACK SHOUT, Rain of Conviction, and DESIRE. Is that ok?” In another tent, Roselia had also decided on the program.

"'BLACK SHOUT' is the song we didn't have time to play at the last live, and the remaining two are new songs I wrote recently. I think there's no problem with them," said Saya.

They did not board the ship that day. The entire day was spent on site confirmation, stage construction and safety assurance.

The moment night falls, the performance begins.

The participants are both audience and performers, and it is a joint live performance of only ten people.

"Woo wow, I have to take the lead..." Shizi huddled together and hugged his body, but it was not because it was cold at night.

"After all, there are only two teams, either the first or the last." Hong Xia waved to the others, "Come on, come on, form a circle!"

Five palms were stacked one on top of another.

"Become a star!" they shouted the slogan they had already decided on.

In front of the stage, Roselia has already found the best spot.

"We should be in the preparation room at this time." Lisa said, "How strange~"

"After all, we need to learn from each other." Yukina observed the stage. "If you look closely, this stage is very similar to CiRCLE's underground stage."

"Well... Mr. Wu... thank you for your trouble..." Linzi's voice was very soft.

When the lights came on, the members of the band were already standing next to their instruments. They did not bring the high-powered spotlights from CiRCLE. Now, each lamp on the stage is placed with a golden jade slip - it is a talisman that Shizi called "the perfect and infinite merit light of the five-sided pure land" after she copied the starlight released by Hongxia with all her strength. As early as the CiRCLE period, Shizi could compress the starlight and release it in an instant. Now she diluted the power in each talisman again and again to extend its luminous time. With such efforts, it is no problem to maintain its operation for at least half an hour. The adjustment of brightness and the rotation of the direction of the lamp head are completed by the built-in small mechanism. The control device of the mechanism only reveals a few buttons on the stage, and most of them are hidden in the huge automatic control system behind the stage. Just press a button to automatically control the lights during a song.

"Although...it's just the lights..." At that time, Shizi was patting the large iron boxes behind the stage, and her eyes were filled with thoughts like "I never want to touch machinery again."

The result of Shizi squeezing all his brain cells and working hard for several days and nights is——

"Suddenly falling and setting up an umbrella"

The lights came on at the right time, and there was no problem with the change of brightness and direction, swaying in time with the rhythm. Although the effect was only slightly better than the level of school art performances, it was better to have lights than not.

“The first song, ‘Guitar, Loneliness and the Blue Planet’!”

Shizi on the stage was also playing enthusiastically. "(Very good, little Shizi.)" Hongxia found that Shizi's performance surpassed any previous rehearsal. "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet" originally did not have a guitar part, and she also personally adapted the music score. Hongxia's own performance was also better than usual.

That's good! Hong Xia kept this feeling. Although there were only five people in the audience, she wanted to conquer them with her music!

"Next, it's the last song!"

This song was written after I met Roselia, "The First Day of Sailing". Although this song was composed by Ryo, the presence of the keyboard is also very strong.

The keyboard sounded first, and then other instruments joined in one after another.

Although it was their first performance, everyone performed very well. Hongxia saw that everyone in the audience, including Roselia, smiled unconsciously, and Yazi swayed gently to the rhythm.

However, the sound of the keyboard suddenly stopped. Hongxia looked at Shizi and found that she also looked confused.

"(Switching personalities at this time?)" Hong Xia immediately thought of the reason. Damn it, this Shizi has never practiced this song...

The keyboard sounded again. Shizi continued the melody without hesitation, as if she had practiced it thousands of times. There was no mistake. Facing the inquiring eyes of others, she just replied with her eyes: Continue.

The song was completed without any trouble. Shizi let out a sigh of relief and left quickly after the curtain call. Several people followed him.

“Little Shizi—” Everyone gathered around Shizi under the stage, “If you’ve practiced this song, why don’t you tell us? It’s so scary.”

Shizi stopped, hunched over and looked back, "Well... after all, I am a member of the band, and I can play the songs of my own band... isn't this normal?"

"I'm relying on you this time." Hong Xia smiled and put her hands on her hips, "But you should still come to group practice obediently in the future."

At this time, Roselia came up. Kita immediately went over to her and said, "Matsu-senpai, how is our live?"

Yukina paused. Her expression was even colder than usual. "You guys performed very well." She just said indifferently and walked towards the stage. The remaining four people followed her in silence, leaving only the band with a puzzled look on their faces.

Before they could come to their senses, Roselia was already standing on the stage.

When Roselia stepped onto the stage, her aura was even more powerful than usual. Wearing elegant and noble costumes, the five people stood in their positions, like the darkness that existed from time immemorial, or the blue roses that bloomed wildly in the church - they were usually dignified, timid, gentle, or immature, but at this moment, they were all united in an unshakable momentum.

Send out their——

BLACK SHOUT.

The five people stared at their performance in a daze. Only by seeing it firsthand could they understand how big the gap between them was.

“It’s dizzying…” Shiko had switched her mood again without her knowing, and was completely mesmerized, “There are many audiences cheering here…” I guess in her eyes, the audience must be packed with people.

"Have we received such support before?" Kita asked.

At that time, Shizi stood behind the keyboard and saw Guanghai——
