Zongman: Kulaixiku, resurrection!

In the end, I was left behind to rehearse with the band.

He could reject Aine's request without any burden, but Kashiwa Miki couldn't reject Deng's pitiful eyes that looked like a little animal.

Well, I just sat there and watched, and helped move the drum set and stuff.

Holding a cup of hot coffee with milk, Kashiwa Sanhui leaned against the wall and watched the girls chatting and laughing while reading the music scores.

At Aine's strong request, Li Xi gave Kashiwa Sanhui a piece of music. It was the song they were going to practice today. It was well written, and the melody was very passionate and punk. It was a song that could not accommodate a violin no matter what.

In the past, I always got to participate in team fights for no apparent reason, but now I can finally watch the battle.

But Deng was injured after all, and his condition was really bad. There were several times when the performance was interrupted because he forgot the lyrics or was out of tune.

But no one would blame Deng. It was a sign of professionalism that he went into battle despite being injured, so it didn't matter that he had a serious attitude.

"Deng, if you really feel uncomfortable, you can rest for a while."

Another practice was interrupted. Before Su Shi and Li Xi could turn the worry on their faces into words, Kashiwa Sanhui spoke first.

"Your breathing is really messed up. You shouldn't do something that requires concentration when you're in pain."

"It's okay, Dr. Ke, I can still hold on." Deng became inexplicably stubborn at this moment, his eyes firm.

"Tomorin, take a break first. You can let Ke-chan take over for a while."

"Eh? It's okay for me to take care of the lights for a while, but I really can't do anything like singing songs that I'm not familiar with." Kashiwa Sanhui decisively refused after hearing Aine's suggestion.

Deng's expression looked a little strange, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

"Well, even though Ke-chan's singing isn't as good as Tomorin's, we still need a lead singer who can practice smoothly with everyone."

"That's right, Deng, you should rest well now and get better before the live performance." Su Shi gently comforted Deng. "Mr. Baihe is just your substitute. How could everyone not need Deng's singing?"

Eh? No one considers my feelings?

Kashiwa Sanki looked around and it seemed that everyone had accepted that Kashiwa Sanki's participation in practice as a substitute for Deng was an established fact.

If anyone showed even a hint of resistance, he would refuse out loud.

"...Oh, alright. Everyone, take a break while I look at the lyrics."

Baihe Sanhui didn't want to refuse and just watch the girls leave in a bad mood. It was much more troublesome to coax these girls one by one than to sing a few songs with them.

Oh, Riku doesn't need any coaxing if he's unfamiliar, Lena looks like she'll be fine if she's given something to eat, and Aine is a good girl who can take care of herself.

During the break, Su Shi bought desserts for everyone downstairs and brought them upstairs: macarons for Aine, sweet glutinous rice dumplings for Li Xi, matcha parfait for Lenai, chocolate for Deng, and coconut bread for Kashiwa Sanhui.

It is indeed a skill to remember everyone's hobbies clearly, but I have only known you for less than a month, Miss Su Shi, how do you know that I like coconut flakes?

Chihaya Aine, you're a traitor!

"Well, thank you for your hospitality. It tastes delicious."

"As long as it suits your taste, I'll be happy to hear from you later."

Now I feel bad about pretending I can’t do it anymore.

"I think I've seen enough. Why don't we give it a try first?"

When Li Xi's drums and Su Shi's bass were fully started, Kashiwa Sanhui sang the first line of the lyrics:

"If the rain is about to stop and the sky clears up..."

Deng, who was sitting in the lounge area, raised his hand to signal to stop.

"Doctor Ke, you're so emotional."

Faced with Deng's criticism, Baihe Sanhui could only apologize embarrassedly.

"Um, sorry. Let's try again..."

This is what the next hour will look like.

The substitute Kashiwa Miki sang a line of lyrics, and the starter Takamatsu Deng commented on the shortcomings. After repeating this more than ten times, Deng was finally satisfied, and then it was time for the solo interval.

It took less than three minutes to go through the entire process, but I ended up practicing for almost an hour.

"... Gently inhaling the moist breeze, I will carry these bits of memories into the future."

When the song was over, everyone clapped with great satisfaction. Deng clapped the loudest with a hint of pride on his face.

"What? You can sing, no wonder Xiangzi likes you." Li Xi walked up to Baihe Sanhui and praised him with satisfaction.

"Everyone has worked hard, let's stop here for today."

"Oh--"

Normally the show would end pretty quickly, but now that Deng was injured, how to get him home became a little problem.

"Rikki, you take Lenai home first. Ko-chan and I will take Deng back," Aine suggested.

"Huh? Can't it be the other way around?"

"Because we have to explain to Deng's parents why Deng was injured. We are the only ones who can do this, right, Ke-chan?"

I want to go home and eat.

“…Ah, that’s right. Aine and I should take the lantern home.”

It’s not that Lixi didn’t want to send Lenai home, but based on her understanding of Lenai, this stray cat would definitely run away halfway, so she even had to treat this stray cat to matcha parfait.

She is not a Su Shi, so she doesn't buy a cup of this expensive dessert for everyone.

But since that was already said, Li Xi could only hold Lenai's hand and warn: "Wildcat, don't run around and don't pester the waitress for Buffy to eat."

"I know~"

Just now, Su Shi bought another cup of Buffy for Lenai, and Lenai is still savoring the taste of Buffy.

"Then it's Mr. Robert River and Aine. I have something else to attend to, so I have to excuse myself."

Seeing the expression on Su Shi's face that looked like she was holding something back, Kashiwa Sanhui guessed that Su Shi was going to Rising to find Xiangzi again.

I went to see Xiangzi every few days, but I just chatted with him. Then, within an hour, Xiangzi would send me away with a sour face. After that, Xiangzi would send me a message to complain, and replying to Xiangzi's message would waste my time.

One person's willfulness brings pain to three people.

"Come on, Deng, I'll need you to show me the way later." Baihe Sanhui half-squatted with his back to Deng who was sitting on the sofa. Deng climbed onto Baihe Sanhui's back with some ease, and even helped him up a distance.

"Doctor Ke, please walk slower..."

"Okay, I'll be careful not to hurt your feet."

That's not the case.
