The goal of life is to break up all couples

"Well... never mind, it's not a big deal."

Matsueda Azusa waved his hand, "Live is more important now!"

"Really……"

Shiina Riki still looked at Matsueda Azusa with some worry, and only felt relieved after discovering that there were no signs of injury on his body.

"It's really true. It's much more true than the vows made by young lovers."

Azusa Matsueda reached out and grabbed Tatsuki Shiina's shoulders, helped her turn, and pushed her all the way back to the backstage of the performance.

"Hey, the protagonist always makes the final appearance, right?"

As soon as he entered the preparation room, he saw Hachiman Kailing, dressed in a leather jacket and leather pants, with her arms folded across her chest. She raised an eyebrow at him and teased, "It's our turn soon, but we don't have any extra time for you to warm up—you won't let me down, will you?"

Songzhi Zi immediately gave a thumbs up and said, "I guarantee it. Trust me, I will win."

"Stop being poor."

Shiina Riki bumped fists with him: "If anything goes wrong, I won't forgive you!"

Looking at the smiling Matsueda Azusa, Shiina Riki suddenly recalled the night when Toyokawa Shoko quit the team.

That day, Shiina Riki originally wanted to vent his anger on Matsueda Azusa.

She was already filled with anger, and Gao Songdeng was also deeply hurt. She even fled the scene with a lot of self-blame...

Shiina Riki couldn't help but want to find someone to fight against.

But Xiangzi was nowhere to be found and did not respond to any messages.

As for Mu...even if I slap her, she might not say a word in return.

After eliminating all the options, the only one left is to quarrel with Matsueda Azusa.

Besides, she didn't have a good impression of the rhythm guitarist Matsueda Azusa, and it seemed that Xiangzi's withdrawal from the team had something to do with him.

Tatsuki Shiina is a man of action and always does what he thinks of.

She quickly found the recording studio where Matsueda Azusa was hiding.

He pushed the door hard and walked in, but what caught his eyes was Songzhi Zi, who had red eyes and was sobbing silently.

Shiina Riki was getting more and more depressed. "No, buddy? How can I fight you if you're like this?"

So annoying!

But Matsueda Azusa spoke to her.

A tear fell silently down his cheek.

"Hey, drummer. You say..."

Matsueda Azusa seemed to be asking her, but also seemed to be asking herself, "As expected, for a talentless mediocre person like me...a loser, it's only natural to be casually abandoned, right?"

He looked like he was about to break.

Shiina Riki couldn't even finish the words he had prepared.

Staring into Songzhi Zi's wet eyes, she spoke inexplicably: "No... Of course not."

"Cough cough!"

Shiina Riki came to her senses the next second and quickly said, "No, that's not right. What I mean is - she didn't necessarily leave you because of this. Maybe she just thought you were too annoying. That's possible."

Hello! ! !

its not right! !

That's even more wrong!

What the hell am I talking about?!

Shiina Riki was frantic. No, sister, do you know what you are saying?!

Songzhi Zi's eyes became even dimmer: "So that's how it is..."

He still believed in Shiina Riki's explanation. After all, compared to a boy, girls really understand other girls' thoughts better, right?

Furthermore, they were once close bandmates, so Shiina Riki must have had a reason for saying that. Perhaps she had already seen the signs.

Matsueda Azusa collapsed and held her head in her hands. Did she think he was too annoying?

"Hey, stop crying! What's the point of that look? What's the point of those tears?"

Shiina Riki pulled his hair irritably. "What I said may not be right. Why do you trust me so much...ah, it's not that I'm asking you not to trust me...no, what am I talking about?"

Seeing the bewildered Azusa Matsueda, Shiina Riki took a few steps forward and grabbed him by the collar, "Why are you crying like that? Hey, don't you think she despises you for being too mediocre and lacking talent? Then prove yourself to her!"

In fact, she felt that Matsueda Azusa's opinion made some sense. After all, he and Toyokawa Shoko were former lovers, and he at least knew Shoko better than she did.

Moreover, Xiangzi quit the group at the speed of light right after the live performance... It is really hard not to wonder whether she had a lot of opinions about that live performance.

Judging from Matsueda Azusa's reaction, is that really the case? The young lady despised the team members' poor abilities and simply abandoned them all.

What a bastard!

Although there is no such thing as talent... Shiina Riki has already accepted this fact - no, if you have to say acceptance, perhaps not to that extent.

But no matter what, it will still be very unpleasant!

"prove?"

Songzhi Zi murmured in confusion.

"Yeah! Doesn't she just think we're too bad, too incompetent, and can't catch up to her talent?"

Shiina Riki tsks irritably. "Then we can't give up, can we? We have to prove to her that even without her, we can still form an excellent band and give her a good slap in the face! Isn't it just a lack of talent? That kind of thing... I don't even have it!"

"But as long as you work hard, if you work hard... you can definitely do it!"

She looked straight into Matsueda Azusa's eyes and said, "Hey, you understand what I'm saying, right? We need to continue forming a band and keep CRYCHIC going! We need to keep performing live!"

Listening to Shiina Riki's words, Matsueda Azusa's eyes gradually became firm, "I understand... This is how it should be, it must be this way... This is the only way!"

He hugged Shiina Riki tightly: "Thank you, drummer!"

A blush appeared on Shiina Riki's cheeks, and when she came to her senses, she found herself on the stage.

It's much emptier than I remembered.

There were only three people on the stage.

Bassist, Kairin Yawata.

Drummer, Tatsuki Shiina.

Guitarist and lead vocalist, Azusa Matsueda.

Matsueda Azusa and Hachiman Kailing turned around and nodded to Shiina Ritsuki.

The dazzling and colorful lights flashed, and Shiina Riki clenched his drumsticks and nodded at them.

The next moment, music started.

Songzhi Zi took a deep breath.

I look at my innocent self.

A Reason Why We've Come To This Point...

Everyone come to the book club to chat!

Group number: 646053967

Welcome to Qingshan Mental Hospital Nursing Home!

6. Why not play Kasuga Shadow!

On the stage, dazzling lights flashed.

Shiina Riki gripped the drumsticks so tightly that even his fingertips turned white.

It has been rehearsed countless times, there is no way it could go wrong.

But the heart still beat violently uncontrollably.

This was her first stage performance with CRYCHIC, and the song she sang was co-written by her and Azusa Matsueda.

Only this time, Shiina Riki is no longer an inferior tool playing for others, and no longer plays a mediocre shadow in the band.

Loneliness is not about the population density around you, but about your own spirit. No matter how close others are to you, if you can't feel that they are the same kind of creatures as you, your dry heart will never be satisfied.

She had been moved by the singing of the lights, but perhaps that was just a self-projection of the self-awareness process in search of recognition.

The lyrics written by Takamatsu Deng and the songs she sang... were ultimately about herself.

Through it, Tatsuki Shiina saw something similar in herself, and was touched and shocked by it. As a lonely person, she wanted to find "people like her" - but in the final analysis, it was not about her.

"Boom!"

The lights froze for a moment.

A brief moment of silence.

Shiina Riki slammed the drumstick down hard.

A roar from Matsueda Azusa came from the front.

He understands, he understands—I can’t afford it.

[So he turned and walked towards the mountain]

Meal replacements, no need.

Intense drum beats, boiling heartbeats.

Shiina Riki has never felt so good.

Hey, Toyokawa Shoko, did you see that? This isn't the lyrics you were looking for, and I don't need you to arrange the music.

As long as I am here...as long as I and Zi are here, that's enough!

The two mediocre people you casually abandoned can also go on stage and sing their own voices.

As long as this continues forever, I can achieve anything.

Matsueda Azusa seemed to sense something and turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki.

——People who approve of his way of doing things are right there.

In order to repay her kindness, he must achieve the happiest thing in his heart and show her the highest happiness.

Don't get me wrong, this is not a despicable and twisted feeling like liking or loving.

It is not a hysterical desire to possess, nor is there envy or jealousy.

Just pure, unadulterated gratitude, the camaraderie of companionship.

Under the dim light, Songzhi Zi could only see her wanton smile.

Is Shiina Tatsuki the kind of person who can laugh so heartily?

It wasn't before, but it may be in the future.

He understands, he understands—I can’t afford it.

[So he turned and walked towards the sea]

As far as I can remember, Shoko Toyokawa has never shown such a wanton and pure smile.

Had Matsueda Azusa's interactions with her never brought her even a moment of such happiness?

Playing with all my heart for my companions could earn me a smile from Shiina Tatsuki, but giving everything to my lover could not earn her even a shred of happiness.

Sure enough, liking someone is a mistake and love is a sin.

Matsueda Azusa reaffirmed his thoughts.

Why couldn't he understand Nagasaki Suyo's thoughts?

Matsueda Azusa thought her behavior was perfectly normal, and there was no need to criticize her. When humans encounter something truly frightening, they completely disregard others and will sacrifice those around them to save them.
