Zongman, a perfect life simulation

She felt a little suffocated, and opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

After a long time, she lowered her head and spoke.

"A little personal matter..."

She didn't want to mention anything about Xiangzi, no matter how much pressure was put on her.

"Private matters... talking about private matters on our first meeting..."

Nagasaki Suyo muttered to herself, not knowing what she was thinking.

Ruoye Mu glanced at her and suddenly realized that Su Shi might have gone in the wrong direction.

She chose to contact Hanazaki Ame in order to conceal Xiangzi's current situation, but Su Shi knew nothing about Xiangzi. She would only think... that she had some romantic feelings for Hanazaki Ame.

This is... good.

It was a very suitable reason, and she didn't need to lie specifically, Su Shi could fill in many details in her own mind.

Thinking of this, Ruo Yemu clenched his fists slightly, lowered his head and spoke intermittently.

"He's... cute... feels... special..."

She was not good at lying and was more accustomed to responding with silence. Such a sentence, which she was not sure whether it was a lie or not, seemed to have drained all her courage.

But at the same time, there was an inexplicable throbbing in her heart, which made her snow-white cheeks gradually turn a little red.

……

Chapter 27: Need a bassist?

Nagasaki Suyo pinched her fingers lightly and fiddled with them unconsciously without saying anything else.

Ruo Ye Mu knew that this was a small habit of hers when thinking.

She... hesitated.

Even though they are siblings, does he still have some feelings for Hanada Qiyu?

If Ye Mu is unable to comment, after all, the two are not related by blood, so objectively speaking it is indeed possible.

However, she felt a little conflicted...

After a moment's silence, Nagasaki Suyo suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"Lixi didn't come to work today..."

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu responded softly.

Shiina Riki is the drummer of their band. She is serious, straightforward, and a little strict. She usually works part-time at Ring in her free time. They occasionally meet her when they come to Ring, but they rarely have a good communication with her.

Even communication is meaningless. The crux of the band's disbandment lies with Xiangzi. She is the absolute core. Once lost, there is no possibility of reorganization.

Besides... Li Xi only cares about their band's lead singer, Takamatsu Deng, and doesn't care about Xiangzi's life or death at all.

Lixi can at least be found, but Deng disappeared after the day Xiangzi said he wanted to quit the band. She didn't answer the phone or reply to Line messages, and no one knows how she is doing now.

If Ye Mu had already accepted the fact that crychic could not reunite, and came to Ring simply to watch some bands' performances, but Su Shi was still obsessed with it, it was really embarrassing.

If it weren't for the band, what reason would she find to stay with Su Shi...

After chatting casually for a while, Hanada Qi Yu finally came back.

He took a while, and it seemed like he went to more than just the restroom, but neither Nagasaki Suyo nor Wakaba Mutsu asked any further questions, and Hanata Qiyu didn't mention it either.

They chatted while waiting for the live performance to begin.

Of course, you have to buy tickets during the trip, which are 1,000 yen each, which is not very expensive.

The price is determined based on the popularity and strength of the performing band, ranging from 500 to 600 yen to 1,000 to 2,000 yen.

The band Afterglow that performed today has been around for a long time and has accumulated considerable popularity, so their performance was very well received.

As the performance time approached, guests began to head to the performance hall, ready to secure a good seat to watch the show.

By the time Hanadazaki Ame and the other two entered, the performance hall was already packed.

Hanada Qiyu stood in the crowd, standing on tiptoe and looking at the stage.

The spotlights had not yet come on and the performance hall was dim, but there were quite a few people playing with their cell phones, making the light dotted around.

He saw five girls in performance costumes huddled together on the stage, whispering to each other, as if they were cheering each other up and making the final preparations before the performance. Their voices were drowned out by the noisy conversation of the crowd and were difficult to distinguish.

Hanadazaki Ae doesn't like crowded places. He has sharp senses and receives a lot of information, which affects his thinking.

In addition, if someone's voice is heard in such an environment, it is difficult for him to find the owner of the voice.

However, currently, the people who hold the Key to the Heart are basically beautiful girls. Even if he can't tell who they are, he can narrow the scope and lock on some targets.

"I heard that Afterglow's style is more of an orthodox band rock. Does Miss Ruoye like that kind of style?"

Hanada Qi Yu asked casually.

"……Um."

Wakaba Mu nodded in response, his voice almost completely drowned out by the noise of the crowd.

Hanada Qiyu knew at a glance that this was a perfunctory response. She has always been in a relatively depressing environment, so what she likes should be a bit more stimulating. As for music... heavy metal rock?

Something more extreme, death heavy metal?

Hanada Qiyu couldn't appreciate these things. He liked clean and pure music, without too much impurities. A solo of one instrument or one person was enough.

Just as he was chatting with Wakaba Mutsu and Nagasaki Suyo, a new person came in and the unevenly distributed crowd began to move. Someone was squeezed and bumped into him lightly.

Hanada Qiyu looked back and saw a young girl with heroic clothes, side bangs, black hair falling over her shoulders, and a dignified face that showed maturity and stability that her peers did not have.

"Feel sorry."

She said simply, then stepped back and continued looking at the stage.

Hanada Qi Yu didn't say anything. He had taken a walk around the Ring before and saw her walking out of a recording studio with a bass box in her hand. She must be a member of a band.

Nagasaki Motoyo is also a bassist, but she doesn't seem as professional as this one.

After all, the former is playing music, while the latter treats it as a job. There is definitely a big difference in terms of the degree of care and effort.

"Come to think of it, I've never heard of a band with a violinist!"

Hanadazaki Yu said thoughtfully.

"Well, that's right. After all, the violin is quite difficult to get started with, so it's not really suitable for a band where everyone plays music together out of interest."

Nagasaki Suyo said with a smile.

She had wanted to ask Hanada Qiyu if he was slightly interested in the band, but when she thought of his outrageous playing level, she decided it would be better not to be interested.

His playing can make people feel desperate.

Bassist Hachiman Kailing, who had originally stepped away, couldn't help but look at them after hearing their conversation.

It has the feel of a band!

She works as a support musician for several bands and earns a certain amount of money from it. However, many bands only perform for a period of time, and then stop or even disband when they get tired of playing or have conflicts. Her income is not very stable.

Therefore, she often looks for new bands to see if they are short of bassists and need support.

It has to be said that bassists are rarely noticed by the audience and are relatively invisible in the band. Not many people are willing to learn from them. In fact, more than half of the bassists switched from guitarists to bassists due to the needs of the band. There is indeed a market for her job.

She was not in a hurry to interrupt and promote herself, but just listened quietly, trying to understand the situation first.

After thinking for a moment, Hanada Qi Yu said to Nagasaki Suyo.

"I remember that there was a student from Yuezhisen who studied violin with me before. You Yuezhisen seems to have a strong culture of playing in bands. Didn't she try to join?"

"She's now... the student council president."

Nagasaki Suyo hesitated to speak, and after thinking about it, she decided not to tell the story that Yashiro Rui was so discouraged by him that she gave up the violin.

Yashiro Rui probably doesn't need his pity.

"Oh, that's good. It should suit her well."

Hanatasaki U nodded. He didn't have much special impression of Yashio Rui. Her playing level could be considered excellent among amateurs, and she was top-notch among the same group of students, but she was a little bit inferior when compared with others.

After all, I lack talent, so it would be better to focus my energy on other aspects as soon as possible.

While we were chatting, the band performance finally began, and the spotlight shone on the five band members in the center of the stage.

The audience soon quieted down and watched the performance attentively.

The drummer tapped the rhythm twice with his drumsticks, and the other instruments soon joined in. The soft melody echoed over the performance hall. The guitarist and lead singer girl with a streak of red hair on her forehead began to sing with a slightly magnetic voice, full of deep emotion.

"Bloom with your bond, that camellia..."

The performance may not be perfect, but the atmosphere is warm and easy to immerse yourself in. This is the immersive charm of live performance.

……

Chapter 28: Perfect Realm

afterglow will play four songs tonight, with MC time in between to liven up the atmosphere, for a total of twenty minutes.

This will be followed by performances by new bands and then other popular bands.

Hanada Qi Yu listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

It's an original song with decent arrangement quality, no wonder it's so popular.

However, for a girl band, the most important thing is that they are girls!

Hanada Qiyu has listened to the singing of many top artists. Their superb techniques and skillful and perfect emotional expression are impeccable. However, these all require long and arduous practice and gradual improvement over time.

By the time they reach the pinnacle of their skills, their youth has slipped away.

Hanada Qiyu was unable to appreciate the vigorous atmosphere of the morning sun and the hazy spring sunshine, which was something that technique could not make up for.

The girl's singing, even if slightly out of tune, sounded sweet, as if maple syrup was poured into the heart.

Perhaps this is the main reason why various girl bands can flourish today.

People may not have a high level of musical literacy to interpret music, but anyone can easily feel the breath of youth.

This kind of beauty is real and particularly attractive.

The four songs passed quickly, and the lead singer's MC time was extended to exactly twenty minutes.

As soon as the song ended, they waved goodbye to the audience with a smile and quickly left with their instruments.

Before the new band started performing, Hachiman Kailing moved a little closer and asked Hanadazaki Ame.

"Excuse me, are you guys forming a band?"

Her voice is clear and her speaking speed is a little faster than that of ordinary people, which sounds neat and clear.

"No, I'm a violinist. My sister and her classmate formed a band. Are you looking for a band to join?"

Hanada Qiyu gave a brief explanation and then asked her purpose.

Hachiman Kailing shook her head.

"Hello everyone! My name is Hachiman Kailing, a bassist. I'm currently serving as a support musician in several bands. If you need anything, you can contact me a week in advance."

"Oh, I see."

It's time to expand business.

Hanada Qiyu then took out his cell phone and said to her.

"We have a bassist here, but you never know when we might need support. Let's exchange contact information first!"

"it is good!"

Hachiman Kailing also took out her mobile phone and added him as a Line friend, chatting with him a little more and getting to know some basic information about each other.
