Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Su Shi, you should also want to form a band with that Li Xi, right?"

"......"

"I don't understand." Seeing that "Su Shi" didn't say anything, Jing Qinrencai's tone became even more anxious, "You obviously don't want to leave them, and you don't want to study abroad, so why are you willing to continue like this..."

Maybe she left because she didn't want to give in to her family. When Chihiro first came to Tokyo, she seemed to be wandering alone in this big city for the same reason.

Therefore, Jing Qinrencai could not accept the behavior of "Su Shi" in front of her, who had to give up what she wanted to do just because of the arrangements of her family.

"how about you?"

"Eh?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki smiled. She didn't have the problems that Nina mentioned, so she naturally didn't take Nina's accusations to heart.

Rather, she seemed to have sensed something was wrong based on Nina's reaction just now.

"Chihiro told me that she could tell the first time she saw you that you ran away from home after a quarrel. So why did you run away?"

"I......."

Jing Qinrencai opened her mouth, and suddenly felt something soften.

"Come to think of it, Momoka should be the original lead singer of Diamond Star, right? How did you get to know her?"

“I’m her fan…”

"Just a fan?" Chihiro Tsuzuki narrowed her eyes and immediately noticed that Nina was hiding something.

"Is he considered half the lead singer now?"

Nina couldn't help but tell the truth directly, but she regretted it as soon as she said it, because once she said it, it seemed that her behavior of studying alone seemed a bit ridiculous.

"Ha~ So he's in a band again."

Chihiro Tsuzuki was already convinced. Did she have some kind of grudge against the band in her life? She hadn't gotten any good results when she tried to form a band, but after returning to China, all the new friends she met were actually related to the band.

This country is fucked. Everybody you pass on the street is thinking about nothing but band stuff.

Either they go to great lengths to cheat and deceive in order to revive old bands; or they want to perform on stage with their idols and don't even want to study hard.

"Oh yeah, you haven't been studying well these past few days, have you?"

"Who said that...I'm still attending cram school."

"Really?"

"......"

Very good, it seems that Chihiro did not misunderstand the good person. The girl in front of her was really harmed by Taoxiang.

If this continues, it is estimated that Ninai will be far away from her academic qualifications. Yesterday, she joked with Su Shi that Ninai was so determined to come to Tokyo to study alone, and she would definitely not be hindered by trivial matters.

Now it seems that she overestimated the other party.

"But no matter what, Sushi, you still want to stick with your friends in the band, right? You don't want to go to a strange country at all!"

"How come you were so limp just now, and now you're suddenly attacking me like a hedgehog with its quills extended?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki burst out laughing, but no matter what, everyone has the right to choose. It would be a good thing if Nina could find what she really wanted to do.

And with the personality that Renai is showing now, she might really stick to the things she really likes for a long time.

"Forget it, I surrender to you."

Seeing a smile on Renai's face, Chihiro shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "In fact, there is no such thing as studying abroad. It was just an excuse for me to back off. But now I have decided to face myself.

Oh, by the way, who did you learn that move from just now?

"Ah... that..." Renai, feeling like she had done something great, rubbed her head and said awkwardly, "Actually, it was Momoka. Let's talk about it next time we have a chance."

"Well, thank you for today, Renai."

"......Suyo." Renai lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Chihiro still refuses to see me?"

"......I'll tell her."

Tsuzuki Chihiro didn't know how to answer, so she could only put her right hand on the girl's shoulder and said, "I'll contact you when she's willing to come out to see you."

Also, Rencai helped me today, so if you need me to accompany you to do anything in the future, you are welcome to come to me."

"Um......."

...

Shiina Riki always felt that something was wrong.

It might be her illusion, but this kind of illusion was always so hard for her to ignore that she couldn't help but think about it even after "Su Shi" left.

——That is the Su Shi of today, which seems to be very different from the Su Shi of yesterday.

If we add the feeling of yesterday, then the world of yesterday is also different from the world of the day before yesterday.

"But what exactly is the difference..."

Judging from the appearance alone, there is definitely not much difference. Even though Su Shi changed into black tights that she had never worn before when she came over yesterday, it cannot be said that there is a particularly big sense of disharmony based on this point alone.

Maybe it's...personality?

“It’s really strange to say, but the feeling that Su Shi gave me yesterday was almost the same as the Su Shi who came to ask about Xiangzi from time to time before they formed the band.

On the contrary, the way she looked today and the way she discussed band matters these past few days gave me a refreshing feeling…”

After talking to himself for a while, Li Xi suddenly thought of a possibility.

Naturally, she did not associate these feelings of incongruity with things like stand-in tricks and dual personalities, which seemed ridiculous at first glance. Instead, she combined the existing information and analyzed her own answer.

That is the present Su Shi, who is actually trying to say goodbye to the past, but is unable to truly let it go.

She is not as strong as she seems, although she has been trying hard to cooperate with everyone over the past few days, trying to be a reliable soul of the band.

However, the life arrangements of her family and the invisible pressure she put on them made this girl, who had always found it difficult to get over the breakup of crychic, fight against the high walls in her heart in a way that ordinary people could not imagine.

This is probably why Su Shi suddenly created a new LINE account.

Because by doing this, it seems that I can retain my past self while facing a new life with a new attitude.

As expected, Su Shi is Su Shi, she has never been a substitute for Xiangzi.

"Li Xi? Li Xi!"

"Ah...Su Shi." Li Xi was awakened by the person in front of her. Only then did she realize that while she was thinking with her head down, the real person had already walked in front of her.

"Lixi, I've decided. I'll continue with everyone else. I'll try my best to sort out the arrangements at home."

"Um......."

Li Xi looked at Su Shi with a bright smile, and felt a little sad in his heart.

Nagasaki Suyo...How much determination did you have to get to this point?

Chapter 64 How dare you question Kasuga Kage of Group C?! (12 left)

"Well, I've arrived at my stop, so I'll leave first."

"Yeah, see you tomorrow Sushi~"

After saying goodbye to a few friends in the club, Nagasaki Suyo walked down the station happily. After walking for less than five minutes, she arrived at the door of the high-end apartment building.

Speaking of which, Su Shi feels that she is looking forward to returning home every day in recent days, which is completely different from her previous self.

Not to mention that before she returned to this timeline, during those days of despair, the spacious house where she was alone always made the girl feel lonely.

Especially when I take a leave and stay at home, sometimes I prepare to lie down in bed for a nap after lunch, but I sleep until night.

The whole room was pitch black, and the feeling that the whole world was dark made her feel extremely uncomfortable. Even though she quickly turned on the desk lamp, the loneliness in her heart could not be eliminated.

However, this feeling seems to have become much less in recent days.

There was no way. The new resident in the house was causing her too much trouble. Of course, it wasn't necessarily trouble, but it was because she had no time to think about whether she was lonely or not.

After all, he was busy competing with Chihiro in wits and courage.

"I'm back~"

Nagasaki Suyo took off her shoes, but just as she was about to change into her home slippers, she discovered that Chihiro's shoes were already placed at the entrance.

You're back so early?

"Chihiro?"

"Ah, it's baby Su Shi who's back. Mommy's cooking for you now."

"......Are you sick?"

She was just like that foul-mouthed girl she was so familiar with. As soon as she opened her mouth, she started to talk about how she accidentally called her the wrong name the night before, and took advantage of her unscrupulously.

But just one rebuttal is enough. If you say too much and annoy this fraud expert, it will be difficult to end well.

"Um, Chihiro..." Looking at the beautiful girl who had regained her original appearance and was busy in the kitchen wearing an apron, Su Shi walked behind her with a flattering expression, "How was it today? Did you solve it?"

"You're really anxious."

Tsuzuki Chihiro looked at Su Shi, whose eyes were as bright as crescent moons when she smiled, and felt a little angry and amused, "Your Chihiro has already appeared, is there anything that cannot be solved?

Lixi has already apologized to me and said that she was wrong that day."

"Ah? Are you really apologizing?"

Nagasaki Suyo was surprised. She felt that it was a bit too sci-fi for such a thing to happen to someone with a bad temper like Shiina Riki.

"Are you questioning me?"

“No…no.”

Su Shi, whose voice was subconsciously suppressed by Chihiro's aura, realized that it was a bit embarrassing for her to be a wealthy mother. However, since such a big thing was settled, she didn't care about such trivial matters.

Fortunately, fortunately, at least she, Nagasaki Suyo, will no longer be a sinner in Li Xi's eyes.

However, thinking of the follow-up plan she and Chihiro had discussed before, Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little sorry for Li Xi, who was being played around by Chihiro.

Of course, a good final result is enough, and she can't turn back now.

All Su Shi could do was to completely trust the girl in front of him and wait silently for news of victory.

She would do anything to bring everyone back together.

"I've been working so hard for crychic."

'No one asked you to do this.'

"You are just an ordinary student. Can you afford to support other people's lives?"

Su Shi looked at the vegetable soup boiling on the stove, blankly recalling the things that happened in the "past" or "future".

Yes, in fact, she was not asked to do this. Until now, she is still working hard on her own wishful thinking. She doesn't even care about the consequences of such a ridiculous method as finding a substitute to help.

She was indeed just an ordinary student who could not afford to support someone else's life, but Su Shi would never accept that everything would end in such a mess.

This is the last and most likely attempt to get closer to the truth.

She has placed all her hopes on Chihiro. No matter what the reason is for the collapse of Group C this time, she will do her best to bear all the consequences.

Because... this is the "long-cherished wish" that she can't let go of after having a chance to do it again.

"The meal is almost ready, Su Shi, don't stand here like an idiot."

"Ah...Okay."

Nagasaki Suyo was quite well-behaved and obedient today. Although she didn't think she would really submit to Chihiro, she was indeed grateful to the girl in front of her today.

Perhaps, Chihiro is the key factor in all changes.

"Sushi, what is Kasuga Shadow?"

“…Huh?”

When Nagasaki Suyo heard Chihiro, who had been eating with her tacitly, suddenly asked this question, she was stunned.

Chihiro Tsuzuki in front of her smiled faintly, "You seem to care about this song very much, or rather... you can't forget it."

"That was...crychic's first song and also the last song."

There was no need to hide anything in the first place. Besides, even if she didn't say it, Chihiro would have plenty of opportunities to get the information out of Lixi.

"Do you want to hear it?"
