I am your deceased love sustenance 1

"Ugh…"

"Why are you sighing? Let's go! I've booked a rehearsal room! Xiao Deng must have never been there!"

"I...actually..."

Deng wanted to say that he had been there before, but seeing Qiansui's excited look, he didn't say anything more.

"Okay, thank you Xiaosui for bringing me here."

"Humph."

Hurrying up the stairs, Ring was far more interesting than Chitose had imagined.

She bought two dozen bottles of Ghost Slayer liquor from the vending machine.

"How could a vending machine, where teenagers are the majority, actually sell something like this?"

"Yeah, Xiao Deng is a bit clumsy, maybe the staff needs him."

Chitose brought the Demon Slayer wine with a straw to Deng's mouth, and Deng took it with his skillful hands and took a sip.

It's really scary. Has my subconscious mind already formed the idea that a few sips of drink doesn't count as drinking?

You are so depraved, Gao Songdeng.

"Wow, this guitar is much better than mine. Let Xiao Deng see the results of my two weeks of hard practice!"

"Isn't it a week..."

"Eh? Really? I feel a little dizzy right now. Xiao Deng, please don't take this opportunity to play tricks on me."

The guitar sounded leisurely, and after simply playing MCR's "Welcome to the Black Parade", Chitose put down the guitar and waited for praise.

"That sounds great! Xiaosui is so powerful. I wish I could be as powerful as Xiaosui..."

"Where did you get the name 'lowly girl' from? Xiao Deng is clearly no worse than me. She just lacks one essential thing."

"What is it?" Takamatsu Deng was eager to know the secret of Chitose's rapid growth. She didn't want to disappoint anyone who had expectations of her.

"Yes..." Noshiro Chitose deliberately dragged out the words to satisfy Chandelier's appetite, and finally slowly said an answer that Chandelier didn't expect, "It's Demon Slayer Wine."

Ghost...Ghost Slayer?

Is this true? I'm 26 years old after all, I'm not a child who can be easily deceived!

"This is real."

"Actually! Is this true?!"

Qiansui looked at Deng who was actually convinced and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Of course, Xiao Deng, think about it, if you're drunk, won't you feel less nervous?"

"Yes."

"Do you feel more comfortable now that you're drunk?"

"It seems so?"

"When you're drunk, do you feel more courageous to express yourself?"

"Yes!"

"Hoo-hoo, so—drink it!"

"Eh?"

Is this where we're at? Drinks in the rehearsal room?

Takamatsu Deng held the Demon Slayer sake carefully, and after hesitating for a few seconds, she chose to believe Noshiro Chitose.

You are so bold, Chitose, to do such a thing in such a place!

"Hoohoo, I'll go lock the door. This way, even if the boss lady finds out we're drinking, she won't come in and blame us."

Chitose Noshiro opened the window in the house, held the guitar and played while drinking.

The guitar melody was beautiful, and the notes floated into Takamatsu Deng's mind through his left ear and were reluctant to leave through his right ear.

"Sing! Little Light! Try to sing it!"

"W-What am I singing!"

"Whatever! I'll play whatever you sing! How's that?"

"Okay! Let me try!"

What a pair of idiots, what are they yelling about?

Takamatsu Deng drank the cheap Demon Slayer wine sip by sip, and the wine made her feel unprecedentedly excited.

"Me! I might actually be able to sing something!"

Say something, come on, you dumb mouth!

"When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city, To see a marching band..."

When I was a little boy, my father took me into town to see the band parade.

At first it was more like reciting the words than singing.

But Chitose quickly adjusted the music and sang the lead for Takamatsu Touma.

"He said, Son when you grow up, Would you be the savior of the broken, The beaten and the damned?"

(He said, "Son, when you grow up, will you be the savior of the hopeless, the losers, and the unfortunate?")

"!!!"

With Chitose's help and the catalysis of alcohol, Takamatsu Deng gradually got into the state.

"He said: Will you defeat them, Your demons, and all the non-believers, The plans that they have made?"

(He said, "Can you overcome them? Your inner demons, and all those who doubt you, with all their schemes.)

"Because one day I'll leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer, To join The Black Parade."

(For one day I will be gone, a ghost guiding you in summer... to join the Black Parade.)

boom--

"That's wonderful! Little Light!"

Chitose threw the zither aside, picked up Takamatsu Touma and started spinning around.

"We will definitely succeed!"

“Yes, yes!”

We must succeed throughout our lives!

Ch26. Let’s baptize music with wine!

"Xiao Sui...is this really appropriate?"

November 22nd, the weekend arrived faster than Deng expected.

In the Ring lounge, Takamatsu Deng looked at the high school girl uniform and vodka in front of him with a look of surprise.

Deng suddenly felt that performing on stage was not a good choice.

"Why are you dressed like this? It's so... shameful!"

"Isn't this to make up for Xiaodeng's regret of never having performed on stage in high school? This is your high school uniform, take a closer look! I had it custom-made!"

"What about vodka? This..."

"Oh, I told you, a performance! Who doesn't drink? It won't work without drinking!"

Chitose Noshiro drank another glass of wine with an expressionless face. This was the sixteenth glass of wine she had drunk that day.

It would definitely be a good idea to drink a little more. She would probably not be able to do what she was about to do if she was too sober.

The plan is being implemented steadily and if nothing unexpected happens, the net will be closed soon.

"Hey, Xiao Deng, drink quickly, and remember to leave a sip for me, otherwise I'll finish it all by myself."

Chitose helped Deng change her clothes. She was quite pleased with the student uniform of Haneigaoka. She was determined to enjoy her youth when she went to Haneigaoka in real life.

Are the lights in reality also in Yuqiu?

Or is Takamatsu Deng just a fictional character created by the system?

"Excuse me! It's almost time for the seniors, please——"

A brown-haired girl of about sixteen or seventeen pushed the door open and announced the arrival time. She was startled by the smell of alcohol and the two dizzy people in the room.

"Senior? What are you doing?"

"Haha, unknown Ring staff member, you don't understand this, right? As seniors, we have inherited the essence of countless bands, so before every performance we need to baptize our music with alcohol, so that everyone can be intoxicated by our performance!"

"Actually! Is that true? If I play in a band in the future, I will also learn from my seniors!" The junior was as silly as Takamatsu Deng, and she believed this nonsense.

"Haha...you, come on."

Oops.

Chitose Noshiro kept playing with her hair, and she found that she seemed to be quite good at fooling people.

I hope this poor child will not be corrupted by her.

"Seniors, take your time drinking. I won't disturb you anymore. I'll go see if the other bands are ready."

She stood up and said goodbye. The staff closed the door gently. The only people left in the lounge were Takamatsu Teru and Noshiro Chitose, who was leaning against her and was drunk.

And their empty wine bottles.

"You're such a cute junior, Xiao Deng, look, I'm also a senior now."

"Xiao Sui is amazing!"

"If you're awesome, keep drinking! If you drink too much, you won't have a chance to drink when you get on stage!"

"it is good!"

As he sipped the screwdriver, Gao Songdeng's understanding of rock and punk deepened.

He practices his outlook on life and values ​​through music, treating every day as if it were the most important, taking it so seriously that he uses alcohol to enhance his performances, and spreading the idea of ​​constantly moving forward towards a brighter future...

So great! Am I going to become the [Savior]?

Qiansui redeemed himself, and now it is his turn to redeem others. This feeling is so hot.

Gao Songdeng no longer hesitated and looked at the rows of drinks on the wooden table with a determined gaze.

【I'm going to drink you all...! 】

【Then sing a song that will not disappoint you and Xiao Sui! 】

[As long as I'm drunk, I won't hear anyone say I'm "trying too hard"!]

This was Gao Songdeng's last fantasy before he passed out from drinking.

……

"Wake up, Xiao Deng, it's almost our turn."

Chitose Noshiro could hear the restless sounds of the crowd in the exhibition hall from a distance.

It was as noisy as a farm, with a group of distressed large mammals huddling together for warmth.

"Ah?! I, I feel a little bit..."

"It's okay, keep drinking and rest, someone will come to call us later."

Chitose Noshiro also squinted her eyes and looked a little confused.

"good!."

Gao Songdeng drinks more and more frequently, and now she can no longer taste the difference between alcohol and ordinary drinks.

It’s just because Chitose Noshiro said... drinking is part of the performance, and drinking can only benefit the performance and not harm it, that Takamatsu Touma keeps drinking.

Besides the faint snoring from the white-haired beauty, the air was also filled with cheers and screams from the outside world.

They did not make Gao Song Deng feel uneasy or frightened at all, but instead made Deng more excited and active.
