Yamada Ryo didn't expect that Matsueda Azusa would actually take the initiative to invite her to dinner, and even asked back in surprise.
"I wish I had won the lottery."
Songzhi Zi rolled his eyes: "But if I really won the lottery, I wouldn't treat you to a meal. Just tell me whether you will come or not."
"Come on! Why shouldn't I come if you're treating me? If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, then you're crazy."
Yamada Ryo agreed without hesitation, "Why did you suddenly think of treating me to a meal? Are you trying to woo me? That meal wouldn't be enough."
"No, sister...why are you so down?"
Songzhi Zi was speechless: "How blind must one be to like you? I just want to find a trash can."
"Huh? Are you playing such a fancy game? I can't accept this kind of play."
Yamada Ryo couldn't help but retreat tactically: "Even if you are my body cook, I will not agree to you doing this kind of thing. Not even if you pay me."
“…It’s an emotional trash can!”
Songzhi Zi helplessly held his forehead, "Why is your mind full of pornographic garbage? Just listening to me complain can earn you a meal, it's a good deal, okay?"
"Oh, so that's how it is! I was shocked... Why didn't you tell me earlier? Where are we going to eat? Send me the address quickly, I can't wait."
Yamada Ryo breathed a sigh of relief. "Come to think of it... there are still times when you can't help but want to complain to someone? That's really rare."
"Why do you say that as if I'm a superhuman without any emotions?"
Azusa Matsueda randomly picked a restaurant and sent the address to Ryo Yamada.
When Matsueda Azusa arrived at the restaurant, Yamada Ryo was already sitting inside waiting.
"I thought you would order first and start eating right away."
Azusa Matsueda sat down opposite Ryo Yamada with a slight surprise.
"This restaurant...pay first, then serve the food."
Yamada Ryo looked at Matsueda Azusa quietly.
"……No wonder."
Matsueda Azusa knew that she shouldn't have any hope in this guy Yamada Ryo.
Yamada Ryo unceremoniously ordered the most expensive set meal and then looked at Matsueda Azusa: "So what happened? You've actually come to me to talk... Is this related to your band? What, your band disbanded again?"
"Pah, pah, pah, you're just saying such unlucky things."
Matsueda Azusa had been quite listless, but now, irritated by Yamada Ryo, she perked up again: "Can you say something nice? But I did guess right... It's definitely something about the band."
"Why would you come to me if you want to hear nice things? But then again, if I can say nice things to you, I'll have to pay you."
Yamada Ryo said confidently, "I was wondering, you have so many people in your band, why don't you talk to them if you have something to say? It turns out that there's something wrong with the band, so you have no choice but to come to me. What could possibly drive you like this? Could it be that your ex-girlfriend suddenly came over and said she wanted to rejoin the band?"
"Damn, you're good at guessing. If that were the case, it would be easier to resolve. I could just confront her right then and there. Why would I even need to look for you?"
Songzhi Zi curled his lips and said: "After having a fight with her, I feel so refreshed, all the depression is gone, and I feel so happy."
"So, you've encountered something that's put you in a dilemma, a dilemma?"
Yamada Ryo nodded. "The only people who could give you a hard time are the ones in your band... Let me guess, it has something to do with Shiina Tatsuki?"
"more or less."
Songzhi Zi pulled her hair in distress: "Lixi brought back Gao Songdeng, the former lead singer of our band..."
After briefly telling Yamada Ryo about Takamatsu Touma and Nagasaki Suyo who came directly to her house, she nodded in understanding.
"So that's what it is. I think I can understand."
Yamada Ryo stirred his appetizer soup with a spoon and tilted his head as he analyzed, "You've poured all your effort and passion into this band, and you sincerely believe that Shiina Riki will place the band at the top of his heart, just like you do."
"But in the end, you discovered that wasn't the case. While you repeatedly rejected Nagasaki Soyo to protect your current band, Shiina Riki took it upon himself to bring Takamatsu back. Then you realized that the members who had previously left the band wanted to revive the old Crychic, and your current teammates wanted the same thing. You were the only one who cared about the current band you had poured your heart and soul into. So, it was understandable that you felt lost."
"From your own perspective, you didn't want this to happen. But now you have no way to stop it. What's even more sad is that compared to the situation you hoped for, you find that this result is what everyone is happy to see, even you, and you can accept it. But even if you accept it, you will still feel lost and sad."
I didn't expect that this scumbag Yamada Ryo could be quite serious when he was serious. His analysis was quite thorough.
Matsueda Azusa nodded, his head drooping. "That's true... It feels like no one cares about the effort I put in, and all the hard work I put in has been wasted. I think it's a bit pretentious to think this way, but sometimes I can't control my emotions."
"It's human nature to be sentimental. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment."
Yamada Ryo hit the nail on the head, also pointing out: "But it's useless to bottle up your dissatisfaction and negative emotions. This will only drain you. Others won't think you're paying for them, or that you're hiding your emotions for them. They'll just think you're being inexplicable. If you have dissatisfaction, you should tell the other person directly. You should know this."
Songzhi Zi sighed: "That's why I came to talk to you."
Yamada Ryo threw up his hands and said, "What's the point of telling me? You should tell them."
"The problem is, I can't tell them."
Matsueda Azusa held her forehead helplessly. "Takamatsu Deng's logic is somewhat different from that of an average person, and her emotions are quite... sensitive. If I were to tell them this directly, she probably wouldn't be able to accept it. The situation would probably be even worse than it is now."
"Then go talk to someone who can accept it."
Yamada Ryo rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "Hmm... How should I put it. Faced with this situation, if it were me, I would probably just quit the group. Anyway, no matter what, Hongxia will want me."
"But you can't change the situation right now, nor can you just quit the group. Honestly, I think it's possible, but you just can't accept the consequences of doing so for them... Actually, I think they should learn to accept it one day, so there's no need for you to worry so much."
"In short, since you have no intention or action to change the situation, but you still feel uncomfortable... then the only thing you can do is seek psychological comfort. You can only go to Shiina Ritsuki and tell her your thoughts and feelings directly - she may apologize, or she may comfort you, anyway, she will always give you an attitude, and this is the only attitude you can get now."
Yamada Ryo shrugged and said, "Matsueda, you're such a fussy man. Honestly, I think this is pointless. If you hesitate when you should make a decision, you'll end up in chaos. If I really want to give you a suggestion, I suggest you just quit the band. We can save a spot for you when we end the band."

Chapter 57: Group C is unable to continue.
"Hey, man! I just came to talk to you, and you started poaching me!"
Songzhi Zi couldn't help but complain.
"Why do you care if I'm trying to poach your people? Then just tell me where I went wrong."
Yamada Ryo was quite confident: "Your so-called dilemma is nothing more than tying yourself up in meaningless self-admiration. You usually act so carefree, but when it comes to the crucial moment, you become a coward. What? You're the one who's in your band? You can't even speak up when you're dissatisfied, but you have to force yourself to play house with them? Just tell me, are you crazy?"
Oh no, the words I used to scold Soyo have now turned into a boomerang and hit me.
Songzhi Zi was sweating profusely.
I never thought that there would be a day when I would be hit by my own boomerang. As expected, when people advise others, they always have a bit of blind confidence. Only when they encounter this situation themselves do they know the pain.
To be honest, Yamada Ryo's aggression was a bit sharp, and Matsueda Azusa acknowledged this.
There was indeed nothing wrong with what she said, and Matsueda Azusa also felt that she might really be sick.
"I tell you, you don't have to think so much. How many bands break up in a year? Weren't they close before they broke up? Nothing in the world is permanent. You have to learn to let go."
Yamada Ryo took a sip of tea and continued his instructions. "Even if you continue to cowardly stay there, you'll only delay the problem from being exposed. It's a complete waste of time."
"There are only a few options open to you: Either you leave the group and start your own, choosing a new place to live. Or you go to Shiina Tatsuki, the key figure in this situation, and ask her directly whether she wants you—er, I mean—the current Crychic, or the original Crychic with the other members."
"If she wants the former, then kick out those other weird guys and continue with your current band. But this incident will always be a thorn between you, and even if it is removed, it will leave a mark. If she wants the latter... then you have no choice."
To be honest, what Yamada Ryo said does make sense. But didn't Matsueda Azusa think about this?
Of course he knew these principles, but he hesitated just before taking action.
"That's easy to say. What if you were facing this situation yourself? What if Nijigasaki was the one taking Shiina Riki's place in this matter? Would you be able to make the decisions you mentioned so easily?"
Matsueda Azusa couldn't help but ask back.
"Hong Xia would never do such a thing. I trust her more than I trust myself."
Yamada Ryo gave Matsueda Azusa a thumbs-up and said, "If someone must have done something wrong in this matter, it must have been me."
BYD, this guy is quite self-aware.
Matsueda Azusa held her forehead helplessly: "What you said... Before Shiina Riki did this, I never doubted that she would do such a thing. And... I also asked her before if she had ever thought about calling Deng back, and she said herself that she would not do that."
"That means you can't judge people accurately. I'm different. I can judge people very accurately."
Yamada Ryo boasted, then thought for a moment before answering, "Well... if I were faced with something like this... although it would be very tangled and painful, I would definitely choose to quit. There's no point staying in a band that doesn't suit my taste."
"Hongxia will understand me if I do this. When she does something like this, she must have anticipated that I would quit the band. Since she did this, it must mean that there are things more important than me in her heart, so there is no need for me to cling to her anymore. Even if I leave the band, we can still be friends."
"...Ryousenbei, you're right."
Songzhi Zi closed his eyes, took a deep breath, slammed the table and shouted: "Damn it, I'm going to fight them!"
Indeed, if Shiina Riki really understood him and really regarded the current Crychic as the most important thing like he did, she would definitely not have thought about what he was thinking when she did this.
And if she already knew what he would think, but still made this choice resolutely, it would already show what was more important in her heart.
No matter whether the real situation is that Shiina Riki cares more about other things than Matsueda Azusa, or that she actually doesn’t care about the current Crychic, or even that she doesn’t understand Matsueda Azusa at all... no matter which situation it is, it doesn’t matter anymore.
Because every situation is difficult for Songeda Zi to accept.
"now it's right."
Yamada Ryo nodded with satisfaction, "When did I miss what I said? So when do you plan to hand over and officially join the closing band?"
"?"
Matsueda Azusa was still immersed in the melancholy atmosphere when she suddenly heard these words. She was so frightened that she immediately fell back: "No, sister, you fast-forwarded too much, didn't you? When did I ever say I wanted to join the Ending Band? I thought you were trying to persuade me out of kindness, but I didn't expect you were just trying to get my body! You are shameless."
"whispering sound."
Yamada Ryo curled his lips, "Isn't this good for you?"
"Is it for you? I can see that you just want to eat my food every day and get it for free!"
Matsueda Azusa gave Yamada Ryo the middle finger.
Yamada Ryo said confidently: "This is called a win-win situation."
She looked him up and down. "So you're not going to react? Even if you figure out the problem, are you still going to continue being such a coward?"
Matsueda Azusa pondered for a moment and made up his mind: "Let's see how the live show goes tomorrow."
"If the performance is good, it means that the band is at least continuing on the track set by me, Li Xi, and Hai Ling. It still conveys our philosophy and implements our hard work. If this is the case, then it is not impossible to put aside Takamatsu Deng and Nagasaki Suyo's past identities and simply regard them as new members. In this way, Crychic will still be the same Crychic."
"But if the performance is very bad, or even a serious split occurs..."
Matsueda Azusa clenched his fists. "Then we have to make a choice. Not only will we no longer be the Crychic I envision, but we won't even qualify as a normal band. By then, I'll be laying it all out with Li Xi... Whether or not I'm asked to leave, I'm ready."
Yamada Ryo tilted his head and thought for a moment: "Hmm... that makes sense. This is indeed a very compromised and appropriate solution for you. But I can only say that you are still a coward. You should have just exploded with them when you all gathered in the rehearsal room today, tsk tsk."
"You are just trying to create chaos in the world, aren't you?"
Songzhi Zi couldn't help but complain: "You really want to see a river of blood!"
"Hey."
Yamada Ryo stuck out his tongue and said confidently: "Why, don't you like watching it?"
"I like to watch it, too."
Songzhi Zi turned his face away guiltily: "But I like to see other people's blood flow like a river."
Before he knew it, Yamada Ryo had already finished all the set meals on the table, and even secretly ate a few side dishes from Matsueda Azusa's set meal. He clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you for the treat."
"Well, anyway...if you really can't stay here any longer and you have nowhere else to go..."
Yamada Ryo put down his cutlery and wiped his mouth with a napkin. "I can make the decision. I'll keep a spot for you in the band after the show. Hongxia and Xiaobochi will definitely not refuse."
"...Let's talk about it then."
Songzhi Zi waved his hand.
If even the current Crychic can't accommodate him, he doesn't think it would be suitable for him to end the band... Instead of joining another band, it would be better to start a new band from scratch.
When Yamada Ryo heard what Matsueda Azusa said, he knew there was probably no hope. He smacked his lips with a hint of regret: "Okay then."

Chapter 58 It must have been Xxx who did it!
Early morning at Sobu High School.
Matsueda Azusa was feeling a little down. The thought that he might have to repeat what Teacher Daxiang did this evening gave him a headache.
But then again, if that were the case, then Matsueda Azusa would really have no weaknesses now. He would have a 360-degree defense without any blind spots. From now on, he could attack whoever he wanted, badmouth whoever he wanted, and fight whoever he wanted. He would be truly invincible.
Thinking of this, Songzhi Zi became happy again. As expected, friends were really a hindrance and only hindered his performance.
Seeing Matsueda Azusa's expression change from serious to cheerful, Miura Yumiko, who was passing by, gently kicked Hikigaya Hachiman's chair and whispered, "What's wrong with this guy now?"
