A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

Su Shi didn't want to speculate about others with dark thoughts, but even without speculating, she could feel that the young lady with long black hair had the same strong feelings for Aoi as herself. Letting such a person get a position in the warm-up band would not only cause a sense of frustration and shame, but also bring a considerable threat.

Moreover, they could choose to dedicate the song to Aoi next time, but... would it really go smoothly next time? Aoi still patiently encouraged them and trusted them this time, but they failed to seize this opportunity.

Next time, and the next time, will Aoi continue to treat them so gently?

This dark emotional spiral continued to engulf them, and just when they were on the verge of falling into the abyss from which they could not recover, they heard the news of victory announced by Xingge.

They were finally chosen because they were more suitable to end the band's independent live.

"Am I still dreaming? She seemed to say we were the winners?"

Aine had a bewildered expression on her face. She gently patted her red cheeks and looked anxiously at Rikki beside her, "Rikki! Hurry and slap yourself to confirm?!"

"what?!"

Riki was immersed in a state of shock and bewilderment. After hearing Aine's words, he immediately showed a puzzled expression and slapped Aine's head without hesitation, "What are you thinking about...just now it was clearly-"

"Say we won."

Lenai blinked slightly and said nonchalantly, "They don't need a band that's too awesome, just one that's like Aoi."

"I...I heard it too."

The voice of the lamp was trembling slightly, and the tears on her face had not yet dried. Her expression seemed to be wavering between facing joy and bad news, which seemed particularly strange. "We... were chosen?"

"But, but...it seems like we were chosen because our abilities are completely incomparable to that band's."

There was still some confusion on Su Shi's face. She actually didn't have as high expectations for the band as Li Xi, and she didn't take winning or losing so seriously. But she just wanted to beat An and Subaru, and beat Youci Wuci.

"That kind of thing..."

This sentence seemed to have touched Li Xi's sore spot. She was originally moved by the joy of victory, but she suddenly felt lost, her eyes full of unwillingness.

"It doesn't matter as long as we win, right~?!"

Aine came over and hugged Soyorin's shoulders, a smile of great joy on her face, tears of excitement in the corners of her eyes, "Soyorin! We won, huh?! The independent live... the chance to perform with Xiaokui is ours!"

"……Um!"

Deng nodded vigorously, tears still in her eyes.

"...We didn't let her down this time..."

She has gradually become dependent on Aoi. Although she always fails in her dreams, in reality it seems that as long as she has Aoi's encouragement, she will eventually win no matter how big the difficulties they face.

Aoi's blessing is like magic, just like the sword given by the fairy to the knight in the fairy tale, which always plays the greatest role in the most difficult moments.

"...We can dedicate that song to her now."

Su Shi murmured softly, a smile gradually appearing on his face.

"Congratulations."

Just as they were immersed in the joy of victory, they were interrupted by a sudden congratulation from the front. They looked up in confusion, only to see the band they had considered their enemies standing before them. The guitarist, who seemed quite assertive, stood at the front, a friendly smile on his face, his tone devoid of any hint of mockery.

"Today's performance was fantastic. I thought most of the bands that came were just kids' level... Luckily, you guys are here so we're not too embarrassed."

Although there are high school age members in the band, guitarist Momoka Kawaharaki and bassist Rupa are both over 20 years old and are already dignified adults in the eyes of these children.

Even if they perform at a level that surpasses that of professional bands, there will still be a sense of disgust that professionals in society are bullying students.

"They're really amazing! In a year or two, they'll probably surpass us, right? They'll be as amazing as Xiaokui's band!"

RUPA praised with a smile.

"But...actually, we didn't win..."

Gao Songdeng lowered his head slightly and murmured in a low voice.

"I advise you not to say that..."

The one who spoke this time was Jing Qinrencai, who had been unhappy from the beginning. She approached Deng aggressively and said bluntly, "Winning is winning. If you still have this expression, are you looking down on us or do you want us to look down on you?!"

"... You, you don't have to say that, right?"

Li Xi gently pulled the lamp behind him and stood between the two of them without hesitation, glaring at Rencai in front of him.

"That's the truth, we agreed in advance! I'm different from Miss Taoxiang... I'm very! Unwilling to accept the outcome this time! Very unwilling! But losing is losing, and I won't try to make excuses."

Renai frowned slightly, but her tone gradually calmed down. "I don't want to lose to a bunch of ignorant guys in the end. So, if it were me, I would openly say that we are the winners this time!"

Hearing this, Li Xi gradually lost his temper and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to say for a while.

In this way, it seems as if they have lost in terms of skills, stage effects and awareness, and only won because of the rules that their level is neither high nor low.

Why was the difference so significant? Was it simply because they were a genuinely professional band? They had seen performances by genuinely professional bands, and by many bands of a lower standard, but why did this particular band seem so overwhelming?

"Let me make it clear first! I won't admit defeat."

An and Subaru poked their heads out from beside Nina, and gave a rather unhappy look to the others - especially Suyo, and raised their little fingers.

"Don't act like a child at this time..."

Xiaozhi complained helplessly.

"Okay, let's go."

Momoka patted Subaru and Nina's head gently and winked at the Mygo guys, "Anyway, keep up the good work."

Chapter 193 A strong adult throughout his life.

The winning band in the end was Mygo, which actually didn't surprise Aoi. Ever since the store manager decided to hold a review meeting for the warm-up bands and agreed to Aoi inviting Mygo to participate, Aoi had already vaguely sensed that Xingge was probably also optimistic about Mygo.

Independent Live requires bands with similar strength and style to perform, which has already eliminated the possibility of bands with insufficient skills and experience to participate. Taking all factors into consideration, the most suitable band in the whole venue is Mygo.

But why does GBC's thorn group appear here?

To be honest, Aoi no longer cared much about the other situations in this review meeting. She was simply confused about the band that shouldn't be there.

After all, she had no connection with Ci Tuan in real life, and she gave up the idea of ​​Ci Tuan joining as the warm-up band because they didn't know each other in real life and couldn't find a reason to invite each other, and in the end only one band could join the warm-up.

She had originally considered finding a way to get to know the members of the Thorn Group later, but she didn't expect that they would come uninvited.

Is it a coincidence?

It seemed to make sense. After all, Aoi had met Nina and Subaru in real life. Long before she started the GBC simulation, the two had visited Starry and claimed to be fans of the band...

Many of the bands that came to the review meeting today were fan bands who had just finished visiting the band, so it was not impossible for them to show up.

Since Aoi didn't make it to the GBC performance round and didn't know the specific situation, all the conclusions seemed to be attributed to her overthinking. However, when she heard that Ci Tuan also participated in today's review meeting, she couldn't help but think of a guess that she was unwilling to accept.

Is there a possibility that they actually have a simulator, and shared the plot with Aoi in the simulator, so they know everything that happened in the simulator clearly. They came here today to declare war on Xiao Kui, the unfaithful man who secretly joined another band, and to ruin the show.

But... that shouldn't be possible, right? After all, the simulator sets everyone up like NPCs, with no sense of online sharing at all. Of course, more importantly, if they share in the simulation, then everyone on Mygo's side must also have it. But Aoi has interacted with them in real life, and those kids haven't mentioned such a thing...

After all, if it really was a shared simulation, she might have said something irresponsible in the storyline, like "we'll be in a band for life," only to then turn around and tell everyone who ended their band to also be in a band for life, and then she'd even use the songs everyone wrote together in the simulator for her new band...

If it were Aoi, even if she was just looking at a simulator with the same interface as Galgame, she would have been furious. She would have wanted to rush over and pull off the skirt of the person involved, and curse the unfaithful woman in the street!

But no one at Mygo did this, and there was not even any overreaction.

It must be an illusion, right?

With this thought in mind, after watching the review meeting, Aoi's uneasy mood became uncontrollable. She simply said to Hongxia and others, "I'll go over and take a look," and quickly walked towards the crowd.

Let's confirm...

Thinking this, Aoi didn't even have time to find a familiar figure in the band crowd before she realized that people around her were gradually coming over, with excited expressions on their faces, chattering and making a lot of noise.

"Ah! It's Miss Saotome!"

"It's Xiao Kui...! So she's here! I thought the band wouldn't show up after today. I've been feeling so disappointed..."

"It's really cute when you see it up close..."

"Ms. Saotome! Please, could you please sign my guitar?"

"Eh?! You want an autograph? What about us drummers then... please sign mine!"

The high school girls' talent for chasing stars was fully displayed at this moment. After seeing Aoi appear, these girls instantly took the fight to the fullest. The expressions on their faces were like tigers seeing their prey, with undisguised joy in their eyes.

It only took Aoi a split second to realize that she wouldn't be able to have a good chat with the two bands today, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and put on a smile to deal with the fans in front of her.

I was so caught up in my thoughts that I forgot that everyone who came to participate was considered a fan of the band...

"Well, um... Thank you very much~"

Aoi forced a formal smile while looking around and glancing at her teammates behind her, only to find that the four of them were standing far away and watching the joke. Not to mention the socially anxious Pochi, the other three just turned a blind eye and gave her a thumbs up.

No wonder they didn’t come with me!

"Yes, that's right~ I have a good idea! Sister Xingge! Can you lend me the microphone~"

With cold sweat on his face, Aoi looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of him crying for food. Suddenly, he thought of a way to escape. He hurriedly borrowed a microphone, adjusted the volume, and announced to the audience.

"I'm so happy that everyone can come to our warm-up review meeting! Thank you so much... So, in order to save everyone from coming today, how about we have a dinner together - or something?"

Her gaze wandered from face to face in the crowd. When she noticed Mygo and Ci Tuan not far away, her eyes suddenly lit up. She added happily, "Let's go have dinner together! I'll cover all the expenses! Consider it a thank you and a pre-celebration for my upcoming independent live!"

There were nine bands coming today, with about forty people. If she chose a restaurant big enough to accommodate so many people, her pocket money should be more than enough.

Not only can I thank the bands that came to the review meeting today, but I can also find an opportunity to chat with those two bands at the dinner party.

The plan goes through!

"Really!?"

"Xiao Kui... is so gentle!"

"I want to go, I want to go!"

"Everyone...are we being a little too rude?"

"I want to eat sushi..."

After hearing about the dinner party, many people cheered happily. For a moment, the whole Livehouse became noisy. The attention of these high school girls finally faded, and they felt embarrassed to keep pestering Aoi to chat.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Aoi finally got a chance to catch his breath. While greeting everyone, he squeezed into the crowd and looked for his target. However, he found that he only saw the Mygo group not far away, and did not see the figure of the Ci Tuan at all.

"Still the same old soft-hearted and exhibitionist."

Just as she was puzzled, a helpless voice came from behind her. Xingge slowly walked over and gently patted Kui on the head. "Well...but you did remind me that the dinner party is indeed necessary, but it should be borne by us adults."

"The store manager will probably blame you for letting her suddenly shoulder such a large expense~"

Miss PA covered her mouth and laughed secretly.

"Shut up...I'm not such a stingy person."

Xingge glared at her. "Of course, some people who made decisions on their own should be held accountable... When you're free later, come and help Starry."

"Eh? No problem, no problem! But... is the cost okay? After all, it was me who asked, so I'll pay for it, right?"

Aoi asked doubtfully.

"Children, don't act so sensible at this time, really..."

Xingge frowned and rubbed Kui's head with his hands, messing up her soft hair.

He is such a strong adult throughout his life...

Chapter 1 is probably Aine’s personal reply: Aoi is the one who can be my mother!

A ray of warm beige sunlight tore through the dark clouds and shone into Aine's world.

Ever since that ray of light appeared, there was no more darkness or rain in her world. There was only warmth, light, dryness, and comfortable fresh air.

She remembered that day, before she could recover from the joy of Aoi's arrival, she was still dully feeling the surprise and joy churning in her mind, and was feeling that something good had finally happened in her study abroad experience in the UK... when she was called to the teacher's office.

In the office, she saw the figure she had been thinking about, as well as her roommate who she had been living with day and night for some time.

The girl with beige hair, who was as elegant as a real aristocratic princess, yet as warm and kind as a fairy in a fairy tale, smiled at her. Just staring at her emerald green eyes would make people feel unprecedented satisfaction and attachment.

Aine couldn't help but stare at them for several seconds before finally looking away, becoming more and more curious about the reason why the teacher called them all here at the same time.

"Chihaya-san, I'm sorry to interrupt your rest time, but have you ever considered changing dorms?"

A possibility that was almost happy popped up in her mind, causing Aine to involuntarily reveal a silly smile that could almost be described as cute and naive.

"Teacher, what the teacher means is..."
