In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Liang's originally calm voice was now tinged with a hint of worry.

"Okay, Senior Liang."

Kita Ikuyo lowered her head and held the guitar tightly, completely unaware of the change in the way Liang addressed her.

Stepping onto the stage, Liang took a few steps forward and uttered a seemingly casual sigh: "This should be considered a bad start in the Rexue Ni comics."

"makes sense."

Chen Xinghua was silent for a moment, then spoke.

"It was really unlucky that a typhoon hit during the performance. There were only a few people watching the live performance."

That's not what I meant. Liang met Chen Xinghua's black eyes and conveyed his thoughts to him.

Now the crisis of ending the band is not just the small crisis of typhoon, there are more terrible crises.

"The live show hasn't started yet, but there will be more customers soon."

Ryo said softly.

"I didn't expect you to say that."

Hong Xia blinked and complained in surprise.

"I thought you were always a pessimist... but it turns out you sometimes look at things from an optimistic perspective."

Liang was silent for a moment, then glanced at the expression on Hongxia's face.

She felt that although Hongxia still had the same sunny smile as before, there was something sad hidden beneath this sunny smile.

Because she and Hongxia have been friends for a long time.

So why is it like this, Hongxia?

“Actually, I think it would be better to treat this performance as one without an audience.”

Liang Jiang folded his arms across his chest and scanned the entire stage.

"No, no."

Hong Xia casually inserted the drumsticks into the drum set, then waved her hands lively.

“The guests who will come to watch other bands’ performances will also listen to our performance.”

"and……"

Hongxia paused and looked at Chihaya Aine and Toyokawa Shoko below the stage.

“We also have guests who come to see us finish our band.”

Is there? Liang stood on the stage, looking and listening to the actions and words of the audience below.

"Have you heard of the closing band that's coming up first?"

"I think I've heard the pink-haired guitarist in their band perform before, and she sounds pretty good. I came here just for her."

"I just wonder what the other members of the band are like."

'Is he worthy of her guitar skills?'

"hey-hey."

Listening to the praise from the audience below the stage, Goto Ichiri was obviously injected with a shot of adrenaline. In an instant, he dispelled the fear in his heart and burst out with extremely powerful momentum.

Are you her fan?

Did you become a fan during her street performances? Or did you become a fan during her school festival?

(Don't get too carried away.)

"Goto Ichiri" suddenly shouted angrily, as if he felt that things had developed to an irreversible point.

(Goto Ichiri!!)

'Why are you so angry?'

Goto Ichiri didn't know why "Goto Ichiri" was so angry and actually called her by her full name instead of "Pochi-chan" which she had been calling her before.

'Have I done anything wrong?'

"Goto Ichiri" did not answer Goto Ichiri's question, she just asked herself.

(What should I do, what should you do?)

'What and how?'

Goto Ichiri was extremely confused.

(Do you want to mess up this live show with the spirit of rock and roll?)

"Why mess it up? It'll make everyone sad... We've been preparing for this live for so long."

Goto Ichiri began to feel that his other self was a little unreasonable.

(No, no, this won’t work.)

(Should we save this live show? No, no. Is a barrel with only one plank still a barrel? No.)

"The time is almost up."

Chen Xinghua glanced at the time displayed on his mobile phone, lowered his head and adjusted the position of the microphone while speaking in a low voice.

Something seemed to be wrong. Yili suddenly giggled and then froze... This seemed reasonable, after all, she was a socially anxious person.

I was happy to hear that some fans came just for me, but then I remembered that I was about to perform in front of so many people, so I was stunned for a moment.

That makes sense.

"Everyone, get ready. The performance is about to begin."

But what doesn't make sense is why Ichiri's emotional state is so much better than Hongxia and Kita.

Chen Xinghua glanced at Kita Ikuyo's fingers and found that her fingers on the black guitar were still trembling slightly, showing the owner's nervousness.

He glanced at the audience again and saw a woman with similar red hair to Kita Ikuyo, and immediately understood why Kita Ikuyo was so nervous.

"That's right."

Hong Xia came back to her senses and was thinking about her opening remarks.

257

Chapter 257 Calm down.

The lights above the stage lit up, illuminating the figures of the five people below.

"Hello everyone, we are the Ending Band."

Kita Ikuyo forced herself to smile and tried to raise her head to look at the audience below.

But as expected, most of the audience below just lowered their heads to look at their phones, and those who occasionally raised their heads to look at the stage only focused their attention on Goto Ichiri.

What should I do... Is it possible? Kita Ikuyo pursed her increasingly dry lips, and the slender arm holding the guitar was shaking a little.

“Thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to come and see our band’s performance.”

Kita Ikuyo turned her head slightly to avoid her eyes meeting her mother.

"Next, we're going to bring you our band's original song... 'Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet'."

"Really, Kita, if you want to play rock, you have to be more rebellious."

Hongxia looked at Kita Ikuyo with a smile, and noticed the uneasiness hidden in her heart.

"...It is not enough to be as formal and dignified as in the classical times.

Hongxia shook her head, as if to comfort the panicked Kita Ikuyo.

Below the stage, Chihaya Aine focused most of her attention on Chen Xinghua, while a small portion of her attention was allocated to Toyokawa Shoko.

Coincidentally, Shoko Toyokawa also adopted a similar strategy.

A thieving cat. Toyokawa Shoko glanced at Chihaya Aine's long pink hair and made a simple judgment in her heart.

Chihaya Aine never cared whether Deng's unknown band disbanded or not, or whether CRYCHIC revived or not.

She had long since accepted the situation.

But... Chihaya Aine's eyes were focused on one point, looking at Chen Xinghua on the stage.

Toyokawa Shoko must never take him away, this is the only thing that is absolutely not allowed.

...But isn't the rhythm of this music a little off? Chihaya Aine pricked up her ears and listened to the music on the stage.

The lead singer and rhythm guitarist's beat was messed up, and then the drummer's rhythm was also messed up, although the bass and keyboard player were using melody to adjust the imbalance, and the lead guitarist was also on the main C.

But no matter how I listen to this song, it just sounds so messy.

More importantly, why is there a keyboard in "Guitar, Loneliness, and Blue Planet"? As if she had rolled a huge number, Chihaya Aine suddenly realized the song's biggest imbalance.

Just like after CRYCHIC disbanded, "Kasuga Shadow" had a keyboard version and a non-keyboard version. If a band's exclusive song first had a keyboardist and then went without the keyboardist... then the song should have a keyboardist version and a non-keyboardist version.

But in Chihaya Aine's memories, there was no place for keyboards in any of the band's songs... Even their first original song, "Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet", did not have two versions with and without keyboards.

It was as if Xinghua had never existed in the band and had not left any trace of its own on it.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine frowned.

On the stage, Chen Xinghua looked down at his music keyboard, realizing that the final result of today's live performance would probably be a bad end.

You don't even need to listen to whether the music is good or bad, you can understand this by just observing the low rate of the audience looking up.

After all, if the live performance is excellent, the audience won’t look down at their phones.

However, Kita's mother watched her daughter's performance seriously... although Kita would probably rather she didn't watch her performance seriously.

Chen Xinghua sighed slightly, then raised his head and glanced at Kita Ikuyo who had a serious face. It seemed that this guy was very dissatisfied with Kita Ikuyo's performance.

…I can only say that I hope this setback won’t be too much of a blow to those who have ended their bands.

"After all, there's still a long time to go."

As he thought this, he tapped out a melody on the keyboard.

Amidst this melody, the brown-haired Ms. Nagasaki, through her maxed-out skill of observing people's expressions, saw the worried look that flashed across Chen Xinghua's face.

Perhaps ending the band was more important to him than the band of lights. Thinking she had realized this, Ms. Nagasaki fiddled with her fingers even harder, oblivious to the fact that she had broken the skin and drawn out bright red blood.

"Would you please come down here with us...and not be like 'CRYCHIC'?"

Nagasaki Suyo leaned weakly on the table and spoke in a voice that only she could hear.

"May I?"

Nagasaki Suyo used her last bit of strength to raise her head and looked at Chen Xinghua on the stage.

"…You promised."

"You promised... Xiaoxiang also promised."

It wasn't until Kita Ikuyo said into the microphone, "This is 'Guitar, Loneliness, and the Blue Planet'" that Nagasaki Motoyo finally came to her senses.

Will her new home be like 'CRYCHIC' and disband like her previous family?

No, no, no…absolutely not.

The sad voice echoed in Nagasaki Suyo's heart over and over again.

She staggered to her feet, stood up from her seat, stumbled towards the door, hurriedly took an umbrella from the umbrella stand, and ran out of the door quickly.

What can she do to save her fate?

But until Nagasaki Suyo rushed out the door, no one noticed that a brown-haired guest had quietly left.

"Um...eh?"

Kita Ikuyo looked at the microphone and then at the audience below who were clearly showing impatience, not knowing what to do.

"Kita, it's time to introduce the next original song."

Hongxia reminded Kita Ikuyo what she should do next.

Listening to Hongxia's voice, Kita Ikuyo originally thought that she should introduce the next song, but she couldn't help but shift her gaze to Kitaruyo's dissatisfied expression in the audience.

It's over... After the live, my mom will definitely force me to quit the band and focus all my energy on further studies.
