Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

While having dinner at Grandma Tsuzuki's house, Su Shi actually learned a little bit about Chihiro. Combined with what she already knew, she came to the conclusion that Chihiro still longed to play the guitar again in her heart.

Not to mention whether the contract needs to be executed now, even if Chihiro still plans to pretend to be herself and find the possibility of Crychic's resurrection, what happens after that?

"Yes." RUPA tilted his head and squinted at Su Shi, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Can I talk to this guy?"

"Ah... please."

After getting consent, Nagasaki Suyo stood up without saying a word, and then pulled Chihiro, who looked confused, to the bathroom.

"No, why do you guys always run to the bathroom whenever you have something on your mind?!"

"What do you mean, us?"

"No, it's nothing."

"Chihiro..." Nagasaki Suyo's voice was cold and clear, completely different from when she was facing the two strangers just now. "You actually want to play the guitar, right?"

"Um, why do you say that?"

"Because no bass player who loves bass would keep telling bass jokes every day, hoping to make another bass player angry."

“…Is that even a reason?”

"And that little girl knows Xiaoxiang. I think I can go through her..."

"How can you be sure that she and Xiaoxiang are very familiar with each other? If they were familiar with each other, they wouldn't call her by her full name, right? Besides, I'm very busy and don't have time..."

"Anyway! I hope you can compose music with them, bass, keyboard... plus a guitar." Su Shi looked at the somewhat moved Chihiro and continued to seduce her, "Besides, Chihiro, you have moved out now, and you are not going to school. You can't always ask your family for money, right?

You need a part-time job, and even if you don't consider them, I think you should also consider what you should do on your own."

"...You mean to say that you're afraid that I can't afford to support you as a maid?"

"If you understand it that way, it's not impossible."

With a snap, the door of the toilet cubicle next to them was pushed open. An adult woman with an embarrassed look on her face glanced at the "master and servant" with a somewhat strange look, and then left quickly.

"...It's over."

Seeing Su Shi's grief-stricken expression, Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't look like you're going to die. I promised you that I'd go talk to them, isn't that all?"

Chapter 124: I'm more like this guy's mother than a maid! (2/2)

"So your family lives here~"

RUPA looked at the high-end apartment building with a smile. It looked very exquisite and grand from the outside to the inside. When she thought about the walk-up house she and Xiaozhi rented together, it seemed... there was a big gap.

However, after all, they didn't know each other well enough, and they only had a real chat with Chihiro and Suzuya today, so Rupa and Xiaozhi didn't ask any more questions in this regard.

Just like they won’t take the initiative to talk about their past.

"RUPA, what are you doing..."

Satoshi Ebizuka was walking at the back. She grabbed Rupa's hand in front of her and questioned him in a low voice with an unhappy look on her face.

Because Chihiro and Su Shi were walking in front, they had some time to whisper to each other before getting on the elevator.

"Didn't you say you were going to form a band? Why did you suddenly agree to talk to her about Red Ginger?"

"Isn't this a good idea?" Rupa said with a smile, "I can learn more about Niina through her."

"..."

Xiaozhi always felt that this sentence sounded strange, as if their motives were not simple.

However, she was indeed a little hesitant in her heart. Being able to take this step today and talk to Qianxun and the others about these things was a small breakthrough in her heart, although the result was not perfect.

But what if the next time you meet those three people, the answer you get is even worse?

In fact, Rupa was very clear about Ebizuka Satoshi's thoughts. The reason why she agreed to Chihiro and the others and followed them upstairs a little abruptly was that she didn't want to miss any opportunity to find a suitable companion.

Opportunities are something that are easily missed if not seized. She had no way of guaranteeing to Xiaozhi that everything would go as planned. At least the band in the past...did not continue on their path to the Budokan, as they had originally hoped.

After getting on the elevator, Xiaozhi didn't say much, but Rupa and Chihiro were discussing composing.

"So you're only composing music now, and you're still short of lyrics, right?"

Having said that, Qianxun looked at Su Shi who was standing beside her. Su Shi, who had plagiarized the song created by Li Xi and Xiao Deng, looked guilty.

"It can't be considered a vacancy." Xiaozhi said beside him, "It's just that the result of writing is not satisfactory."

The existence of Red Ginger is also very important to the girl named Ebizuka Satoshi. If they really form a band in the future and she is asked to give up this group, she will actually feel a little reluctant in her heart.

However, at present, the reason why this team has been able to persist until now is actually because of their inner unwillingness to give up.

The elevator stopped at the 45th floor. Because Chihiro's home was not fully equipped to entertain guests, the four of them also walked into Su Shi's home.

After putting all the things bought from the supermarket into the house, Su Shi, who had already immersed herself in her current identity, went to the kitchen as a matter of course and made a cup of black tea for the four of them.

"Thank you."

"So, RUPA and Xiaozhi... what do you think?" Nagasaki Suyo looked at Chihiro who didn't seem to be paying much attention to the matter, and asked for her helplessly, "Actually, Chihiro's best instrument is not bass, her main instrument is guitar.

And composing... She actually wrote quite a few songs."

"Is that so?" RUPA was a little surprised. She really didn't expect that this bassist, who didn't perform very well on stage yesterday, actually had other talents.

To be honest, she didn't think Chihiro Tsuzuki's abilities were particularly outstanding. Although she was very beautiful, she did lack a lot in terms of bass.

Of course, it is actually very arbitrary to judge whether a person is suitable to be a teammate based on his or her ability.

Thinking back to the disbanding of the band, RUPA knew very well that the two kids couldn't bear it and left. On the one hand, it was because Xiaozhi put too much pressure on them, and on the other hand, it was because the two kids didn't have the right attitude from the beginning.

Playing in a band still depends on personality. Even if everyone has a different personality, if they can find resonance on some common things after some friction, then they will be a good band.

It’s a pity that many people only talk about the dream of entering a martial arts hall.

It’s understandable that people have different dreams, but if you don’t have a dream in music, then what’s the point of playing music!

"She's actually just started learning the bass. Strictly speaking, the total time she's spent studying and practicing is less than three or four days, right?"

After all, Chihiro spent most of her time helping herself do bad things, and she didn't really practice bass seriously during that period. It seemed that they only started to focus on training after they confirmed that they would be performing on stage.

But even so, Su Shi felt that a lot of time had been wasted because of various things. Even before this person of his was kicked out of the house by him, he could not be found for three days or two.

"Three or four days?!" Rupa felt a little unwell when he heard that Chihiro had only studied for three or four days before performing on stage.

She had been called a genius before, but this was the first time she had seen such unreasonable learning ability.

"It's impressive, isn't it... ahem, I mean, it's just that."

When Su Shi heard RUPA's praise, her first reaction was pride. However, when she saw that the person was still pretending to be indifferent, she became proud first, and the girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

This bastard, can't she just say a few words for herself? Why is she pretending to be awesome for her?

Is she this guy's mother?

"Can you show me the song you composed?"

"Of course you can." Tsuzuki Chihiro hesitated a little, but finally obeyed Su Shi's expectant eyes, took the young widow's computer, and logged into her own network disk.

She has composed quite a few songs, but most of them are just for showing off her skills, and naturally there are no lyrics or anything like that.

In the following period of time, the four people in the living room seemed to be testing each other's level. Chihiro and Su Shi were listening to Red Ginger's songs with a pair of headphones; while Rupa, who had absolute pitch, looked at the series of guitar music on the computer with a look of shock, which was not something a human could play, and reproduced in his mind.

Although this kind of mutual inspection is somewhat utilitarian, for a few people who don’t have much friendship, it is also the most direct communication between musicians.

Even Chihiro Tsuzuki, who had not taken this matter seriously at first and just wanted to please the little maid, finally began to feel moved.

"Here, your guitar."

"Eh?"

It was unknown when Su Shi left, and then it seemed that she had taken back the old guitar from the next room. She looked at Chihiro with a smile on her face, and looked at her expectantly and said:

"Chihiro, play your songs for us."

Nagasaki Suyo feels that for her now, cyrchic is more like a symbol representing the past. Although she still can't completely forget it, she has a more important present at the moment.

In other words... Chihiro Tsuzuki shouldn't continue to stop because of those things. As the only friend who can support and understand her, Su Shi now hopes to see the friendship between her and Chihiro re-established no longer because of a commission or an agreement.

In this way, no matter where crychic's final outcome leads, there will no longer be a possibility for her and Chihiro to be separated from each other.

This was the new realization in her heart after Nagasaki Suyo once again said, "I'm willing to do anything."

Chapter 125: Martial Arts Hall? Doesn’t that just require hands? (7 more)

Looking at the same person from different perspectives will give you different feelings.

For example, if one were to look at Chihiro Tsuzuki from a position that knows her character very well, Su Shi would simply regard Chihiro, who is playing the guitar at this moment, as a "music maniac".

As two guests who don't know Chihiro's usual personality very well, Rupa and Satoshi see Chihiro in a different light.

Of course, no matter what the subjective feeling was, Su Shi had to admit that in this living room... Chihiro Tsuzuki was the most dazzling existence.

Although the girl did hesitate for a long time when she handed the guitar to the other party just now.

But sometimes music is like this, or rather, it is like this for performers who love music. When she sees the burning gazes of the audience who are looking forward to her performance and is driven by the desire in her heart, such a small thing as playing the guitar is just a natural thing to do.

Although Chihiro's appearance is somewhat similar to Su Shi's, it is actually only the facial contours that are similar. This makes it much easier when changing one's appearance, as there is no need to adjust the width and thickness of the chin and cheeks.

But strictly speaking, Chihiro's appearance is as "weak" as the first impression she gives to everyone.

I don’t know if it’s because the food in Britain is so bad, but Su Shi has always suspected that Chihiro’s slim and frail figure is due to the fact that she hasn’t eaten much there, but this girl has a very nice breast.

But overall, it's hard for anyone to associate Chihiro Tsuzuki with the kind of guy who goes crazy in a rock band.

However, the strong contrast before their eyes, the arrogant aura after holding the guitar, and the fingers sliding lightly across the strings, the endless power and dexterity that seemed to be contained in the fingertips, made the three people present unable to take their eyes away.

The music played by Chihiro Tsuzuki is obviously an original song, and Su Shi is not quite sure of its name, because just like Chihiro would give cats strange names like "We Bei", the names of each of her songs also have no pattern at all.

There are "Tsuzuki Etude Chapter 1" and "Chapter 3", but there is no second chapter.

Or there are some weird names like "Drum Attack", "The Lead Singer Owes Me a Meal Yesterday", or "Nine Pounds and Fifteen Pence".

However, in Su Shi's opinion, this gave her a sense of déjà vu that a genius should be like this, because the song that Chihiro was playing now really made Su Shi feel enlightened.

The notes bloom in my hands, like shooting stars across the night sky, sharp and full of charm.

Chihiro's movements were crisp and clear. Her right hand plucked the strings so fast that it was hard to see clearly, while her left hand repeatedly switched between complex chords on the neck of the guitar, leaving behind shining afterimages as her fingertips passed by.

After a quick strum, she leaned forward slightly, her charming burgundy hair fluttering in the air. There was no trace of weakness in her eyes, but rather they were filled with fiery confidence.

"Isn't this...too amazing?!"

After this intense, high-pitched, and emotionally progressive unknown song was finished, Chihiro Tsuzuki was still in a state similar to a computer shutdown, closing her eyes as if feeling the aftereffects.

However, Ebizuka Satoshi and RUPA, who were sitting in front of her, were so surprised that they didn't know what to say.

Genius, this is true guitar genius.

Or in other words... this kind of person doesn't play guitar but plays bass instead. He must have been threatened by someone!

Thinking of this, the two girls looked at Su Shi with suspicion at the same time, which made Su Shi feel a little guilty.

No, why did she feel like she had suddenly become some big villain!

"Xiaozhi, don't you want her to join us now?"

"..."

On the sofa opposite, RUPA turned his head and whispered with Ebizuka Satoshi. Although Su Shi knew what they were talking about, the girl did not go over to join in the fun. Instead, she went to the kitchen to prepare a simple dinner.

There's no way. We originally planned to have dinner at Yoshinoya, but now, our boss... Chihiro actually brought the clerk home.

If she didn't prepare dinner, she would be so hungry that she would feel dizzy and dizzy.

However, when Su Shi looked at Chihiro who was still lowering her head, and Satoshi and RUPA who were discussing something over there, the girl actually felt a little worried again.

People always have such contradictions, and Nagasaki Suyo feels that she is the same.

She is always greedy, wanting this and that, and even after doing it again, this greed has become even worse.

Even though she gradually stopped being so obsessed with crychic, she now has some new wishes.

It is precisely because he has lost something before, and it was a rare experience of finding it again after losing it, that Su Shi is so afraid of losing it again.

Asking Chihiro not to be stubborn about her own affairs was actually because she was afraid that she would leave her after solving her problems; but now she has found a new place for Chihiro to go, which is undoubtedly another reason for Chihiro to stop needing her in advance.

Oh... she is such a fool.

"Chihiro."
