There is no system for the anime, so I have to work hard on my own.

His fingers danced on the strings so gracefully, as if the creator, giving life to each note, although these lives did not seem very friendly.

They twisted and screamed, turning from beautiful melodies into harsh noises, like lightning in a storm, breaking the quiet night.

The people present only felt waves of palpitations, their ears were attacked by the sudden noise, and their hearts seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Ijichi Hongka, Yamada Ryo and others looked at each other, and they could see relief and despair in each other's eyes.

Fortunately, there were no audience members at the scene, only band members and store staff, so they didn't have to worry that customers would never come to the store again after hearing this magical sound.

The desperate thing is that they can't escape, can't stop it, and can only face the whispers from hell.

Bochi covered her ears tightly and regretted it so much at this moment. If she knew it would turn out like this, even if she was scolded, she would definitely refuse to lend the guitar to Ye Yusheng.

Even so, senior Yamada Ryo and classmate Kita Ikuyo were instigating.

But regret is useless!

They could only grit their teeth and endure.

Suddenly, they found that the melody had changed. It was no longer so unpleasant, but rather pleasant.

They all exchanged glances, thinking they were mad to find the music from hell pleasing to their ears. Yet, they had to believe that the note had indeed changed.

Ye Yusheng's feeling became more obvious. As the performance progressed, his fingers became more and more flexible, and he was able to reproduce some of the little guitar playing techniques in his mind.

This is also why everyone feels that the note has changed.

If the notes at the beginning were the whispers of the devil and the bass of Cthulhu, then the notes now are the blessings from heaven and the gift of nature.

The mood of the audience rose and fell with the melody, as if they were being pulled by an invisible force and pulled back from the edge of the abyss to the land of light.

In the sound of the piano, they seemed to hear the cheerful birdsong in the morning, feel the caress of the afternoon breeze, see the brilliant stars at night, and smell the faint fragrance of the grass.

Their souls roamed in this ocean of music, and they felt unprecedented tranquility and harmony.

Ye Yusheng's mood became more and more high-spirited, with an incomparable sense of accomplishment and an inexplicable feeling of being moved!

It’s just a guitar, what’s so difficult about it?

Thinking of this, his fingers danced lightly on the strings like a graceful dancer.

Every touch with the strings is like an angel's hand caressing the fatigue and sorrow of the world.

Ijichi Hongxia and Kato had unknowingly loosened their hands that were covering their ears, allowing the beautiful melody to flow through their hearts, washing away the dust in their hearts.

All the fears and anxieties I once had became insignificant at this moment, like smoke blown away by the wind, disappearing into the boundless sky, leaving only endless emotion.

Until Ye Yusheng's song ended, they were still immersed in it and couldn't extricate themselves!

It took them a while to come back to their senses.

However, the way they looked at Xiang Ye Yusheng was somewhat complicated, as if to say, you are so good, why didn’t you play like this from the beginning?

Only Yamada Ryo silently gave him a thumbs up with a smile on his face, as if he had found a companion.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I'll be shy." Looking at the different reactions of the crowd, Ye Yusheng could only touch his head and deliberately put on an awkward posture.

"You...you, is this really your first time playing guitar?"

Pochi bravely asked.

Ye Yusheng nodded, chuckled, and replied, "Of course it's my first time playing it!"

However, everyone had an expression that said, "I don't believe you."

"Hey, hey, I told you from the beginning that I haven't played it before, why don't you believe me?"

Ye Yusheng felt helpless.

"Is this really your first time playing it?"

Ijichi Hongka confirmed again.

"Isn't it obvious?"

Ye Yusheng shrugged, looked at Kato and said, "Besides, Xiaohui can also testify for me."

Everyone turned their attention to Kato, who nodded.

Everyone who got the answer was shocked. Based on his previous move, they all believed him when he said he was a veteran who had practiced for four or five years. However, now he told them that this was his first time playing the instrument.

How can they believe this?

Seeing the crowd still somewhat unconvinced, Ye Yusheng helplessly stretched out his hands: "If you don't believe me, look at my hands. Do they look like I've practiced guitar?"

When everyone looked over, they found no signs of long-term guitar practice on his hands.

Generally speaking, people who practice guitar for a long time will develop a layer of hard skin on the fingertips of their right hand due to long-term friction with the strings, and the fingertips of their left hand that press the strings will grow thick calluses.

However, there were no such marks on his hands. There were only red marks left when he pressed the strings after playing.

"It's... it's really my first time!"

Ijichi Hongxia and others were deeply shocked and lost in thought.

However, it’s not their fault.

After all, if anyone practices a musical instrument day after day for years, only to find in the end that despite all their efforts, they are still not as good as a novice, their mentality will probably collapse.

"Hmph, considering the current state, it's better to disband the band as soon as possible!" Looking at the shocked crowd, Yidizhi Xingge said coldly and sternly.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I will never disband the band!!" Ijichi Hongxia seemed to be irritated by her sister's words, and retorted loudly with some anger.

"Then show me your enthusiasm!!!"

After Yidizhi Xingge finished speaking, he snorted coldly and left without paying any attention to the crowd.

"What a joke, store manager! If you want to cheer me up, just say it!" Kita Ikuyo secretly complained.

A female clerk said with a smile: "Well, don't worry about it too much. After all, Xingge is such a proud and arrogant person."

Yamada Ryoumen nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Meanwhile, Pochi on the side had put on a cardboard box, and was hiding in a corner with his hands on his knees, curled up into a ball. His eyes were a little dazed, and his mouth was opening and closing, as if he was saying something.

"What happened to Pochi?"

Ye Yusheng asked with some surprise.

"Pochi must have been frightened by the store manager."

Yamada Ryo stroked his chin and analyzed.

"So, are you okay?"

Kato asked worriedly.

"Ah, it's okay. We've seen this happen many times."

As he spoke, Yamada Ryo grabbed the cardboard box, lifted it up with a little effort and threw it aside, revealing Pochi-chan inside.

And Pochi seemed to have lost his last safe zone, slowly falling to the ground, with a tendency to turn into an indescribable thing, and even vomiting out his soul.

"Hehe...haha...guitar...what...what, it's totally...not suitable for me...hehe..."

"Look at the good things you did!"

Kato learned how to pinch the soft flesh on Ye Yusheng's waist and twist it casually without any instruction.

What did I do again? The sudden pain made Ye Yu, who was grinning, feel a little confused.

Looking at Pochi-chan who was in self-doubt, Yamada Ryo silently picked up the cardboard box and put it on Pochi on the ground.

Then she looked at Kita Ikuyo with an embarrassed expression, but found that the other party was also like her, not knowing what to do.

You know, Pochi-chan herself is a super socially anxious person, and the guitar is the last channel she has that can connect her with the world.

And now, because of Ye Yusheng's existence, she has begun to doubt her guitar practice.

Ijichi Hongxia's face was even more serious. Obviously, the current situation was beyond their control.

......

"Mr. Yijizhi, so why am I sitting here?" Ye Yusheng sat in his seat, looked at the words "defendant" on the table in front of him, and raised his hand to ask a question.

Ijichi Hongxia folded her hands and supported her chin, and said seriously: "Defendant, Ye-san, please address me as Judge Ijichi."

As she spoke, she glanced at everyone and said solemnly, "Ryo, Yudai, and Kato-san, you too, should address me as the presiding judge."

Ye Yusheng was somewhat speechless, but still followed the other party's request and said, "I understand, Judge Yi Dizhi. So, why am I here?"

Ijichi Hongxia knocked lightly on the table and then said, "Because of you, our Bond Band lost a member. Do you admit this crime?"

Looking at Pochi-chan who collapsed on the ground and melted into a pool of unknown liquid, Ye Yusheng lowered his head in sorrow: "I plead guilty!"

Ijichi Hongxia continued, "Guilty, then, as the presiding judge, I now announce the following verdict."

At this moment, even the lively and active Kita Ikuyo, the expressionless Yamada Ryo and the somewhat confused Kato Megumi could not help but sit up straight.

As the defendant, Ye Yusheng swallowed hard and waited quietly for the verdict.

"Then, Ye-san, you will definitely help us appease Goto-san!" Changing her serious expression, Ijichi Hongxia smiled gently and said, "Do you have any objections?"

Ye Yusheng's expression relaxed for a moment, then he stood up and put on a very serious expression again: "Your Excellency the Judge, I have no objection, but I have important information!"

"Okay!" Yidi Chi Hongxia said.

Ye Yusheng silently moved the defendant sign in front of him to the front of Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo: "I report that these two are also guilty!"

Hearing his words, Kita Ikuyo and Yamada Ryo looked at him with an incredible look, as if to say, how can you slander us like this.

Ye Yusheng seemed not to notice their expressions. He coughed lightly and continued, "If it weren't for those two people's instigation, how could I have ever wanted to try playing the guitar, which caused such a huge blow to Pochi-chan? In this incident, both of them are guilty of instigation!"

As he spoke, his expression shifted to one of deep sorrow and indignation. "Their actions are undoubtedly a betrayal of their teammates. They are unforgivable and must be severely punished!"

"Are you finished?"

"That's it!"

His face is filled with the radiance of fairness and justice, and his determination to fight evil to the end. Even if the enemy he faces is the judge's teammate, he will never admit defeat!

"Thank you for your testimony, Kita, Yamada, do you have anything to say?" Ijichi Hongxia asked seriously.

Ikuyo Kita and Yamada Ryo turned their heads away, not daring to look at Ijichi Kouka.

Ichichi Hongxia couldn't help but reveal a look of disappointment: "If that's the case, then I hereby declare that you are guilty of the same crime as Mr. Ye!"

Kato said at the right moment: "Judge, it seems that there is no point in saying this now."

Hearing Kato's question, the serious expressions on the faces of Ijichi Hongka, Yamada Ryo, Ikushiro Kita, and Ye Yusheng disappeared immediately, and were filled with sorrow instead: "Of course we know."

Then, Ijichi Hongxia forced herself to cheer up, her face showing anticipation: "So, Kato-san, do you have any ideas?"

Kato thought for a while, but she had no good solution to Pochi-chan's problem, so she could only shake her head helplessly.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the room grew heavy. Pochi-chan's predicament weighed on everyone's heart like a huge rock.

Everyone knows how deep Pochi-chan's love and dependence on guitar is, but now, this love is eroded by self-doubt.

However, they had no good solution.

Ye Yusheng looked at everyone, his heart filled with guilt.

He didn't expect that just wanting to give it a try would actually lead to the downfall of Pochi-chan, which was completely contrary to the purpose of him and Kato coming to the live house to support everyone.

"Perhaps, we can start with Pochi-chan's favorite thing and help her regain her passion." Ye Yusheng suggested.

"For example?" The others looked at him expectantly.

"Of course, we'll organize a small concert. I believe Pochi-chan will be able to feel our support and encouragement."

Kita's eyes lit up and he immediately agreed, "Yeah, we can prepare a special performance for Pochi-chan to let her know how much her music means to us."

Yamada Ryo nodded. Although his expression remained indifferent, a hint of determination was revealed in his tone: "I will be responsible for arranging the details of the performance and ensure that everything goes smoothly."

Seeing everyone's positive attitude, Ijichi Hongxia's worries were slightly relieved.

She decided to be the planner of this event and ensure that Pochi-chan's feelings were taken into consideration every step of the way.

"Then it's settled." Ijichi Hongxia stood up, determination glittering in her eyes. "We need to let Pochi-chan know that she's not alone. We're all here to support her."

Then, she showed a bit of embarrassment on her face: "But, without Pochi-chan, who will be the guitarist?"

"Let me do it!" Ye Yusheng took on the burden without hesitation.

Well, after all, I am also responsible for making Pochi-chan become like this!

Looking at the enthusiastic group already discussing the details of the performance, Kato raised an objection at the right moment: "But we don't know if it will backfire."

"After all, Pochi-chan herself was inspired by Sayo's guitar playing!"

"That's true." Several people looked at each other and could see endless heaviness in each other's eyes.

"Then let's pass this plan!"

Ichichi Hongxia said.

Next, everyone started discussing again. Some suggested taking Pochi-chan to a concert, some suggested going to a movie, and some suggested going to a video game store.

However, these plans always had problems of one kind or another, and in the end they were all rejected.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Yusheng was already talking until his mouth was dry. He stretched out his hand with difficulty, trying to get some water to moisten his throat, but before he could touch the cup, he fell on the table.

His fall seemed to have triggered some mechanism.

Kita Ikuyo's eyes were moist, and there was an unspeakable sorrow in her voice: "Your Honor, Ye-san has already sacrificed himself. From now on, it's all up to us."

Looking at their exaggerated reactions, Kato couldn't help but twitch his eyes. Xiaoye was not dead yet.

Yamada Ryosuke saluted in the direction of Ye Yusheng with a serious expression: "Rest in peace, classmate Ye. We will never forget your sacrifice."

Ijichi Hongxia's eyes were covered with a layer of mist without her noticing, and she murmured, "We will definitely inherit your will and revive Pochi-chan."

So, he is not dead at all!

Kato complained in his heart.

When Ijichi Hongxia finished speaking, her neck tilted and her whole body lost its color.

Yamada Ryo and Kita Ikuyo looked at each other and stretched out their hands as if trying to grab something, murmuring softly, "Don't, don't give up, Judge~"

Then it lost its color.

Looking at the collapsed people, Kato always felt that he was so out of place.

"Hongxia, why don't you hurry up and get to work?"

Suddenly, a cold and emotionless voice came. After a while, there was still no sign of anyone, so Yijizhi Xingge had no choice but to come over to check on the situation.

Then he noticed a few people slumped in their chairs, their faces full of fatigue, and they fell into silence.
