A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

On Wednesday, at school, you decided to invite Xiangzi and Mu to have lunch together during lunch break.

.....

Due to your frequent encounters, you and Xiangzi gradually became familiar with each other (Favorability: 51+4). One day, while walking together after school, she happened to mention the scene of your first meeting and was obsessed with the phrase "lifelong band". She smiled and asked you:

"Aoi-san, are you still determined to stay with crychic?"

①. Give a positive answer.

②. Tell her you changed your mind.

③. Ask her back the same question as before.

④. "Actually, just being with Xiangzi is enough." (The favorability is low, so please choose carefully.)

3: The simulator is not working anymore, right?

"...So what about you, Xiangzi? You promised me before, so you won't go back on your word, right?"

The girl with beige hair suddenly quickened her pace and walked a few steps in front of Xiangzi. She turned her head slightly, and the warm orange sunset was reflected in her emerald green eyes.

"What are you talking about, Aoi-san?"

The smile on Xiangzi's face was wrapped in the sunset, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace to catch up with Aoi. His golden eyes were full of determination. "I founded crychic. I invited everyone and Aoi here. Naturally, I have to be prepared to see it all the way to the end."

"you swear!"

"Eh!? Aoi-san, you don't trust me at all... Well, what kind of oath do you want me to swear? A poisonous oath?"

"I swear to stay with crychic forever, otherwise..."

"At once?"

Xiangzi tilted his head, waiting for Aoi's words in confusion.

"From a young lady to a commoner! The kind that can't even afford to eat!"

After saying this, Aoi showed a mischievous and playful smile on her face, stuck out her tongue, and added, "I'm just kidding~ Of course I believe Xiangzi."

"It's really a poisonous oath, of course there's no problem with that."

Xiangzi smiled and raised his right hand, facing the setting sun.

"I, Toyokawa Shoko, swear to stay with crychic until the very end. The time limit is my whole life! Otherwise, I will lose everything and my family will fall into poverty!"

[Unlock the special personal side story, "Promise under the Sunset": This seemingly joking but actually sincere conversation brings you closer together, and makes Xiangzi feel that it was the right decision to invite you to join crychic. Xiangzi's favorability increases by 5 points, and the current favorability is 60 (55+5).

Obtain important memories with Toyokawa Shoko: "Promise under the Sunset" can be used again in specific situations, and the effect depends on the situation (only in this week).

Aoi looked at the beautiful and youthful scene just now and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Although I chose this option specifically for the purpose of investigating Xiangzi, I still couldn't help but sigh that Xiangzi is indeed a very charismatic person. From her eyes, smile, words and deeds, there is absolutely no reason for her to quit the group. At least she has no intention of quitting the group at all now.

Since she had no intention of leaving the group and was incredibly fond of the current Crychic, why did the group suddenly collapse without warning? Was it due to some unforeseen external factors? Or was it because the first live performance didn't go well... I remember she seemed to criticize Deng a bit... I don't understand.

If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have developed heat phobia. I would have taken advantage of everyone's recommendation to watch MyGo. I was busy drawing and playing mobile games every day. In the end, the only plot I knew about MyGo was that Su Shi held Xiangzi's hand and knelt down.

At this point, we can only take things one step at a time and continue to improve Xiangzi's favorability. There is no fear that the truth will not be revealed!

[Soon after, with the efforts of Xiangzi and Lixi, the complete "Spring Shadow" was born. This song that belongs only to you obviously touched everyone's heart. Deng also changed his previous timid singing habit and sang out his heart's voice loudly like a shout.

With everyone's overwhelming support, you've decided to hold your first live performance at RING, singing "Spring Shadow," a song that belongs only to crychic, for everyone to hear. The band members' data is being calculated...

Instruments: Guitar, bass, keyboard, drums, violin

Vocalist: Takamatsu Touma

Music: Spring Shadow

Evaluation score: 81 points. Popularity points: 0.3.

The performance ended with thunderous applause from the audience. The beautiful and warm melody of Kasuga Shadow, combined with the elegant and unique tone of the violin, tugged at everyone's heartstrings. Some of the audience members couldn't help but shed tears as they listened to the notes, deeply moved by your music. (This week's show will be disbanded or a small amount of violin skills will be added)

As they walked off the stage, the lights were still in a trance, as if they hadn't recovered from the performance and were questioning whether they had sung the song well. Everyone hugged each other with tears in their eyes, feeling the touching feeling brought to them by Kasuga Ying and crychic.

Xiangzi took you and Xiaomu's hands and led you into the crowd. Everyone hugged each other, and only her tear-soaked voice could be heard whispering, "Next time, I will definitely hold a live..."

[The live show was a huge success and everyone was very excited. Xiangzi even suggested holding a celebration party tonight, but he had no goal, so he asked you for your advice.

You decide to propose: ①. Lie about your age and go to an izakaya to get drunk.

②. To reward everyone, we are going to have an open-air performance tonight!

③. Invite everyone to your villa for a pajama party.

④. Let’s go to the shrine together and pray for crychic to last forever.

The options are always weirder than the last. Can this game just delete the options and let her choose for herself?

Aoi sighed, thought about it, and finally chose option ③. Regardless, according to the development of shojo anime, this kind of happy plot is always followed by a nice bonus episode, which is not only a good tradition of light orange anime, but also can effectively bring people closer together.

It's a pajama party! No matter how much pressure or grudge you have, as long as you put on pajamas, roll around on the tatami mat with a futon, and whisper to each other under the futon afterwards, you'll definitely make up in the end!

For girls, pajama parties are as versatile as inviting guys over for drinks.

At your suggestion, Xiangzi and Sushi all agreed to the proposal, and they also voted in favor of Deng and Mu, who remained silent, unconditionally overruling Lixi's opposition. Finally, everyone gathered at your home in the afternoon sunshine, celebrating the success of the live performance.

After the sumptuous dinner, as agreed, everyone changed into pajamas, either actively or passively, and gathered in the room with many beddings, playing and chatting, and you took the lead in starting a pillow fight. Even Mu, who was usually as emotionless as a puppet, curled up the corners of his mouth and chuckled softly at your chaotic fight. The laughter floated out of the window and into the late spring breeze.

The laughter gradually died down, and everyone gradually quieted down due to fatigue. During this brief period of time, do you want to try to be alone with someone?

It’s a no-brainer to choose the Xiangzi line!

You find Xiangzi walking alone to the spacious balcony. Night has fallen in Tokyo, and the evening breeze ruffles her straight, light blue hair, bringing a light, sweet scent. You slip on your slippers and leave the room. You pull open the sliding door to the balcony and gently lean against the railing beside her, letting the evening breeze play with your hair, disorienting the girl before you.

"It's incredible. I've never tried to form a band before, and I used to wonder if I could be like Morfonica's predecessors... Once I actually took the first step, it felt really great."

Xiangzi turned his head slightly, his amber eyes covered with the neon lights of the night, and his smile was charming.

“My wish is to find like-minded friends, form a band, and play our own music together…”

"Aoi-san, what is your wish?"

Entering the important selection stage, please choose carefully.

①.Keep going with crychic.

②.Walk on with you. 】

4: Su Shi seems very reliable

"My wish is very simple."

A smile spread across Aoi's face. She slowly turned around, leaning against the railing, her eyes circling around her bandmates who were still having fun in the room, her smile bright, "Xiangzi has promised me that crychic will last a lifetime, right?"

"Aoi-san is really obsessed with 'a lifetime'...it's only natural, after all, you've already sworn an oath."

Xiangzi covered his mouth and chuckled, turning his head to look at Kui's profile illuminated by the light.

"Then this isn't just a wish, but a future that will surely come true. So my wish is..."

Aoi turned her head slightly, and their eyes met and intertwined tightly.

"I want to keep walking with Xiangzi."

The words blended into the evening breeze, ruffling his long, sunflower-beige hair and gently sprinkling across Xiangzi's cheeks, as if wrapping all the sounds in the wind and carrying them to the distant other side of the city.

Silence was like an invisible curtain, gently covering the two of them, with only a few subtle ambient sounds unique to the city coming through the air.

It was not until a moment later that Xiangzi came back to his senses from his silence and spoke with his usual cheerful and warm smile,

"Aoi-san... you're really obsessed with 'a lifetime', right? Does being friends have to last forever?"

"That's right, what's the answer?"

Aoi tilted her head slightly, her expression unchanged.

"Since the band lasts a lifetime, then being good friends should last a lifetime, right?"

Xiangzi smiled and said, "It seems that the premise of this wish is closely connected with the band's wish for long-term survival."

"That's a foul..."

"Hmm? Aoi-san isn't satisfied enough?"

"not enough!"

Aoi tilted her face slightly, her fair face puffed up slightly, as if showing her master's dissatisfaction at the moment, "Although this answer is enough... but Xiangzi is still too cunning."

"Haa... May I ask why Aoi-san has this wish?"

There was a hint of unnatural hesitation in Xiangzi's smile.

"It's the same reason as the band... that's all."

Aoi replied softly, her emerald eyes staring at Xiangzi without a trace of impurities, with a glimmer of expectation in her eyes, "Xiangzi, do you want to walk with me forever and be good friends for life?"

"It seems that when Aoi-san was chosen to join the band that day, it wasn't actually me who captured Aoi-san, but I was the one who was captured..."

Xiangzi sighed, seemingly jokingly but also with emotion, and gently extended her hand towards Aoi. Even though night had already fallen, the pure and innocent smile on her face still shone brightly. "Aoi-san is really insecure, but it's okay. I won't go anywhere until we fulfill our promise, okay?"

The girls gently clasped their slender hands, their fingertips hooked on each other's palms, and swore an oath in the neon-lit night.

[Unlock special personal side story, "Girls' Vow": Since the formation of crychic, you and Xiangzi have been together day and night and the success of the live show has deepened your friendship. This pajama party, like a heartfelt conversation, has undoubtedly narrowed the distance between you and brought you closer together. Xiangzi's favorability is +7, and the current favorability is 67. The relationship is: Good Friends.

Obtain important memories with Toyokawa Shoko: "Girls' Vow" can be used again in specific situations, and the effect depends on the situation (only in this week).

Aoi watched this special personal story in silence and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although she is the protagonist in the play, I still inexplicably feel like I am watching a light-hearted youth girl drama. My ashes are almost purified by the innocence unique to young girls.

And the progress of this guide seems quite encouraging. Since this simulator is a "band simulator" and not a dating simulator, does that mean the current affection level should be normal? It won't show any affection beyond friendship, right? So, Xiangzi's path is progressing smoothly, and the path to the real reason for her group breakdown should be revealed?

I feel like this week is stable!

After the pajama party, you all, eager to start performing live again, quickly gathered in the recording studio. Before starting practice, you checked out the previous reviews of "Haruhi Kage" and received almost rave reviews. However, there were still a few criticisms, mainly concerning Deng's singing skills.

While everyone was discussing this matter, you noticed that Xiangzi's expression was unexpectedly shaken, as if he had received a bolt from the blue, and he stared at the phone screen tremblingly.

You were very concerned about Xiangzi's condition, so you went up to her to ask, but you didn't get any clear answer. Xiangzi lowered her head, her face gloomy, like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being found out. After telling you that she had something urgent to do, she hurriedly left the practice room.

Um? ?

Aoi just yawned and rubbed the corners of his eyes, then came to his senses and found that the direction of the simulator seemed to have returned to the route of last week. He was so scared that his heart sank and he didn't dare to continue the simulation for a while.

But... think about it carefully, what if quitting crychic was not her own wish, but the uncontrollable external force that she had guessed before?

This might be the real way to change the ending of last week's episode! Steady, keep simulating!

[After that day, you didn't receive any response to the messages you sent. Xiangzi seemed to have disappeared from the world and still didn't come to the recording studio to practice until the next day.

You are very worried about Xiangzi's situation, and you are keenly aware that this matter may not be that simple. You want to do something to help Xiangzi and save the current sudden situation.

You decide: ①. Try to go to Tsukinomori and Toyokawa's house, block her door, and find out what happened.

②. It must be related to the criticism that Deng received as the lead singer. The problem must be solved from Deng’s perspective!

③. Isn't Mu very close to Xiangzi? Try asking her to help pass on the message.

④. Su Shi also seems to be worried about Xiangzi. Try to talk to her and think of a solution together.

These options all seem normal at first glance, but intuitively they give Aoi a very uneasy feeling...as if she is not making choices, but playing a text minesweeper game.

First, let's rule out option two. It couldn't possibly be Deng's fault. Putting aside the fact that she performed well as the lead singer, as the lead singer personally chosen by Xiangzi, there's no way Xiangzi would criticize Deng for her poor singing. She's definitely not that kind of person.

The first option also seems unreliable. She doesn't know where the Toyokawa family is. If blocking the Moon Forest was useful, Su Shi would have succeeded long ago... So the only option left is to go find Xiao Mu and Su Shi, which seems a little more reliable. Now she can only choose one of these two options.

Aoi thought about it for a long time, and finally set her mind on crychic's recognized mama-san Nagasaki Suyo.

Compared to other members, Su Shi is not as timid as Deng, not as taciturn as Mu, and not as stubborn as Li Xi. She is considerate, gentle and thoughtful. The affection and dependence she shows to crychic are also very sincere. She also looks very smart.

If we cooperate with Su Shi, there should be some way...right?

5: Easy to deal with

You found Su Shi and told her your concerns, hoping to work with her to find a way to contact Xiangzi. She readily agreed to your request, and said that she was also very worried about Xiangzi.

"Honestly... I thought I was the only one who felt this way, but now it seems I wasn't worrying too much. Thank you, Xiaokui. Everyone in the band should support each other."

Your concern for Xiangzi clearly touched Sushi. She already valued crychic and her bandmates, and she sensed your affection. She finally realized she wasn't the only one who loved crychic so deeply. Sushi's favorability increased by 3, now at 59.

Why did I suddenly become fond of you?!
