Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Chapter 43 The Inescapable Spring Shadow

That's the reason.

Yanming suddenly realized, but still asked, "Would 'that person' care a lot about this?"

This song is of great significance to Crychic, so this kind of risk cannot be ignored.

Unlike before, the current temporary team has four people, greatly increasing the chances of the message getting out.

What if people find out they played "Spring Shadow" which isn't part of the crychic genre, feel unilaterally abandoned, and then run out of the live house while shedding pearls, get knocked down by a passerby under a big billboard, and finally call their childhood friend, who has become a big star, crying and saying they want to forget everything?

There's still that possibility, right?

What if?

Of course, the above is just Yanming's random guess and should not be taken seriously.

Lamp glanced furtively at Oblivionis, who was amusing Nai, before shaking her head and saying, "She might care, but... I don't think she'll mind."

Because Xiaoxiang herself is here, and with the sound of her keyboard, Chunriying will be the Chunriying that she and Deng both know.

After all, it was a piece she composed herself.

Under Yanming's gaze, Deng walked over and cautiously poked oblivionis's waist: "Miss... oblivionis."

When Oblivionis heard Lantern calling her, she turned around and said gently, "What's wrong, Lantern?"

"May we play 'Spring Shadow'?"

Thump thump thump.

For a moment, Toyokawa Shoko felt as if her heart had stopped.

No way! ?

Did the light spot her?

Otherwise, why ask her this question? Wouldn't it be more appropriate to ask "Toyokawa Shoko" this question?

But she... she's Oblivionis!

If Xiaodeng and Yanming really find out that I'm running around wearing a strange mask and saying so many strange things... I'll really die!

It's practically exhibitionism and shameful play, oh my god, those stockings!

Xiangzi forced a smile and pretended not to know what was going on, saying, "Excuse me, Deng, I didn't hear what you were saying."

"Oh..." The lamp lowered its head.

“Oblivionis, this is what Xiaodeng is talking about.” Seeing that Deng seemed a little embarrassed, Yanming first took Deng’s notebook out of the bag on the table, then turned to the page with the lyrics written on it, and handed it to Oblivionis along with the copied sheet music. “Spring Shadow is the name of this song. Deng probably wanted to ask if you could play this tune, but there was a mistake in her expression.”

Taking advantage of the situation, Xiangzi politely accepted the complete Spring Day Shadow with both hands: "So that's what you meant, Deng. Let me take a look first..."

As he spoke, he pretended to look at the lyrics and sheet music that she could recite from memory, and then quickly spoke again:

"You can play it... Isn't this a great song?"

Of course it's great!

The lyrics to "The Lamp," combined with Xiangzi's proud talent for composing, resulted in a song that Xiangzi believed he could spend his entire life praising its beauty.

Just like the lyrics say:

心満たしては overflowing

My inner thoughts overflow

いつしか栬をきらりきらり

When I came to my senses, my cheeks were still shining

热く热く濡らしてゆく

Hot tears wet my face

君の手はどうしてこんなにも热かいの?

Why are your hands so warm?

This lyric

It wasn't just the lamp's sentiment, but also her thoughts.

When she took the lamp's hand, wasn't her heart also filled with longing and warmth?

These are their shared memories...

If it were Toyokawa Shoko, who announced Crychic's disbandment that day, and she learned that Touka was going to perform this song with a band other than Crychic...

Perhaps at that time I would first sincerely wish the lamp happiness, and then feel so wronged that I would cry like a headless fly, seeking comfort everywhere.

But...

The situation is different now, isn't it?

On that rainy day, a stubborn but kind-hearted man grabbed her hand and told her:

Don't be afraid of forgetting or being forgotten.

The memories she cherishes will also be cherished and remembered by her companions who went through them together.

Even though Xiangzi was forced to lose the time he spent with Crychic

Deng, Lixi, Mu, and Sushi will all preserve the warmth of that spring day for themselves.

"Spring Shadows" will no longer shake her heart.

The people in front of her were more worthy of her cherishing than this commemorative song.

Crychic as a band has ended, but the bond between the girls is not so easily broken.

She handed the notebook back to Deng and said, "A song as good as 'Spring Shadow' is sure to move the other members of your band, Deng. Let's play it together!"

“oblivionis…”

"lamp……"

"Miss Oblivionis..."

"Teng-san..."

The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed to suddenly shift from the girls' band to the movie theater next door.

"Boom."

A small white head poked its way between the two.

Who else could it be besides Lena?

"Hey, can I play the guitar now?"

A child's innocent and naive voice interrupted their seemingly endless conversation.

The cat said it couldn't stand these two nagging women anymore.

Ah, thank goodness it wasn't her mother, otherwise this would have been a disaster.

Cat doesn't understand the heavy burden of your relationship; Cat just wants to play the guitar.

“…Ah.” Oblivionis was the first to come to her senses, the part covered by the mask instantly turning the color of the sunset, but she still tried to change the subject away from herself, “Instead of that, Rakuna-chan, why don’t you go and look at Kasuga Kage’s guitar tabs first?”

"Looked."

"That……"

"Yes."

“…” Oblivionis suddenly realized that the white-haired girl in front of him did not seem to be an ordinary cat.

This cat seems to have the makings of an emperor.

While Oblivionis was still marveling at the countless heroes in the world, Lena had already shifted her focus:

"Interesting girl, I'm going to play the guitar, so come over here and stand properly."

As she spoke, she pulled the still-dazed Deng to the lead singer's position, shoved the microphone into Deng's hand again, and then gave Yanming behind her an "OK" sign.

"Hmph!"

"Well done, Le Nai," Yan Ming praised her with a smile.

Neither he nor Xiao Le Nai liked the heavy atmosphere that had just been between Xiangzi and Deng.

So next

“Miss Oblivionis? You’re all alone now, so don’t keep Little Lantern waiting.”

It's time to play some music.

Chapter Forty-Four: The Rain of Wheels and the Shadow of Spring

oblivionis looked up and saw three pairs of eyes staring straight at her.

The lamp represents both confusion and expectation.

Cats don't hide their excitement.

Yanming acted no differently than he always did when he invited her to dinner.

"Phew—" Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath, walked to the keyboard, and quickly finished adjusting the equipment.

Isn't it just "Spring Shadow"?

So what!

Spring Shadows, Start!

The elegant and soothing sound of the keyboard flowed slowly from Xiangzi's fingertips. Even though she hadn't played for a long time, the emotions and instincts that flowed into her body ensured that the girl's movements were flawless...

Mistake?

This was originally a piece she composed.

Even if there are parts that are not played in accordance with the score, the only correct one would be her, the original composer.

No one spoke again, quietly waiting for Xiangzi's keyboard intro to end.

Subsequently

Yanming, holding the bass he brought from the rehearsal room, looked at Deng, who was standing at the front.

Will I be able to sing it this time?

"悴んだ心ふるえる眼 differs,

His heart was filled with weariness, and his eyes darted around restlessly.

The world is the world's best,

I am all alone in this world.

三ることしか知らない春は,

In this ever-decaying spring,

It's cold every year,

Every year I only feel the cold…

It was sung out.

Just like the singing voice in the video, only a little hoarser, perhaps because the child has been under too much pressure these days.

The band broke up, and he was powerless to stop it.

Finally, all this helplessness was poured into "Spring Shadow," which was only one-fifth of the original song, to convey to the audience the pain of longing and separation.

...It was incredibly infectious.

The lamp's singing was even better than Yanming had expected.

Her daily self-restraint is not a flaw, but rather a part of her talent, which is brought into her singing.

Singing skills can be honed through talent and hard work, but emotional outbursts cannot be accumulated through normal channels; they can only be expressed through something like a light source with electromagnetic waves… no.
