Girl band, because of the shining heart

The reason why Kasumi Toyama lives a happy life every day is that she has never been under any pressure, so she just needs to happily do what she wants to do. Of course, it is also because of her innocent, positive and optimistic personality, but at least so far, there is really nothing that can make her feel stressed.

As for people like her, there are only two people in Chisho Kunou's memory, one is Toyama Kasumi herself, and the other is Genmaki Kokoro.

The two people's innocent, positive and optimistic personalities, as well as their pure hearts, destined them to be happy every day.

On the other hand, look at Yamabuki Saya.

Not only did she have to complete her studies every day, but she also had to rush home after school to help out in the family bakery. Her mother also needed her attention, not to mention that she had two younger brothers and sisters who also needed her, the eldest daughter, to take care of her.

Although Jiuzhong Qianxiao would come to help from time to time, she was actually under a lot of pressure.

"You used to be as innocent and cute as Kasumi, Saaya."

"How could that be? At least I'm not like Kasumi..."

Hearing this, Yamabuki Saya's pretty face turned red. She couldn't help but tap Kunou Chisho's forehead with her fingers. She used to be different from Toyama Kasumi, but she couldn't say what it was, but she just didn't want to accept this statement.

She is her, and Toyama Kasumi is Toyama Kasumi, there is a big difference.

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you smile so happily in a long time."

Although her face was red, the smile on her face that came from the heart could not be faked, Jiuchong Qianxiao sighed.

Then Yamabuki Saya hit him on the forehead again.

"Really? You just keep saying things like that."

I don’t know who the person is whose face turned red and even her ears were rosy after hearing these words. Although the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but rise, Yamabuki Saya still tried hard to stay calm.

"Saiya."

"What's wrong?"

"If, I mean if, when your mother gets better, would you consider forming a band?"

"I have no idea."

Joining the band meant that it was difficult for her to get home quickly to take care of the family after school.

But she didn't want to give up her dream.

"Saiya."

"Ah."

"If I have the opportunity to make a choice, I hope to make a choice that I will never regret."

Kunou Chisato's words made Yamabuki Saya lower her head. She didn't know how to answer. She had actually thought about what would have happened if she had not quit the previous band, but once she quit, she quit. She couldn't go back, and there was no way to go back.

Reaching out his hand and hugging Yamabuki Saya tightly, Kunou Chisho whispered in her ear: "It's okay, Saya. Maybe you can try to trust your brother and sister. They are not ignorant. They will also grow up. You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. No matter what, your family will support you."

"Ah."

Feeling the comfortable warmth and the sense of security that was wrapped around her, Yamabuki Saya opened her arms and hugged Kunou Chisho back, leaning in his arms, feeling the long-lost sense of security since leaving the band.

She has been putting pressure on herself, taking care of her mother, her younger brother and sister, and neglecting her own dreams. Her mother's illness is like a gun against her forehead. When her mother falls down, it is time to pull the trigger of the gun.

So her nerves were always tense, but Jiuchong Qianxiao gave her a sense of security, which made her nerves gradually relax, and the original feeling of panic gradually disappeared.

Close your eyes and feel the dawn that gradually emerges after the darkness falls, dispelling the coldness of the night and bringing dazzling light and warmth.

After a while.

Looking at the girl's peaceful sleeping face, Jiu Zhong Qian Xiao held her on the bed, covered her with a quilt, then stood up and walked to the door of the room.

"Good night, Saaya."

After closing the door, he looked at the two little guys standing behind the door. He was stunned for a moment, and then saw that the two little guys seemed to want to say something. Jiuzhong Qianxiao put his index finger in front of his lips. The two little guys realized something, and quickly covered their mouths with their hands and nodded.

After bringing the two little guys to the stairs, Jiuchong Qianxiao squatted down while looking at them.

"Brother Qianxiao, Shanan and I will grow up well and help our sister take care of our mother."

"Eh?"

"Well, my sister has actually been practicing drums, but she has to take care of mom, me and Chun, so she has never thought about joining the band."

"So, we want to work hard and grow up well, so that we can help my sister take care of mom and let my sister do what she wants to do."

As a younger brother, Jun Yamabuki, and as a younger sister, Sana Yamabuki, naturally knew about their sister's situation, so they secretly told Chisato Kunou about it.

I want to grow up, I want to take care of my mom with my sister, I want my sister to pursue her dreams.

"Really? Then from today on, you must study hard, be obedient, don't cause trouble to your sister and mom and dad, get enough rest, eat well, and try to grow up quickly."

After rubbing the two little guys' heads, Jiuzhong Qianxiao handed them the last two candies in his pocket.

Seeing the two little guys clearly attracted by the candies but waving their hands to refuse the candies the next moment, he was still a little surprised when he heard Yamabuki Jun say, "Mom said that eating candies at night will cause cavities. Jun can't have cavities and cause trouble for mom."

"So does Sanan."

"Then save the candy for tomorrow."

At this moment, Jiuchong Qianxiao realized that these two little guys had really grown a lot.

Chapter 23: Things on Both Sides

After waking up as usual, Jiuzhong Qianxiao turned on his mobile phone and looked through the messages someone sent him last night.

Xian Juanxin: Qianxiao Qianxiao, I want to find a way to fill the whole world with smiles.

This was sent to him by Xian Juanxin. As usual, she was a bit off-line. After thinking about it for a while, Jiu Zhong Qian Xiao replied to her.

Jiuzhong Qianxiao: Well, if it is the heart, we will definitely find it.

Even though she knew that there was no way to make the whole world full of smiles, and even though the head of the Genjuan family doted on Genjuan Xin, he would not agree with Genjuan Xin doing certain things, Jiuzhong Qianxiao still encouraged her.

Dreams and determination both need encouragement, but setbacks are also needed to let people who are full of dreams and determination know that this road is not so easy.

After replying to Xian Juanxin, Jiuchong Qianxiao looked at the next one.

Bai Lu Qian Sheng: Qian Xiao, the agency has confirmed that our band has been formed, and in two weeks, we will be preparing to perform on stage. But now I am thinking whether the path I have chosen is right.

The formation of the band was completely expected, but if they were to perform on stage in two weeks, that would be a bit too fantastical. But when he thought about the fact that the band was preparing to lip-sync, Jiuchong Qianxiao didn't care.

Jiuchong Qianxiao: Relax, since you have chosen this path, just go ahead and walk on it. As for the result, neither you nor I know, right?

But there will probably be accidents, right? If it's lip-syncing, whether it's the debut or someone looking back later, they will find something wrong. This kind of thing can't stand up to scrutiny. Even if the first lip-syncing on stage is not discovered, when someone looks back on this performance later, they will naturally find something wrong.

At that time, they will not only face pressure from the band, but also pressure from social media. What a hell.

After replying, there is still the next one.

Toyama Kasumi: Chixiao, I still haven't found a club that I want to join. I originally wanted to choose Mingming's swimming club, but Mingming told me that she wanted to quit the club to prepare for the exam to enter another high school.

Jiuzhong Qianxiao: Really? If you haven't found it yet, you don't have to worry about it. As for your sister, she should have her own ideas. As a sister, you should not care too much about your sister. That will make your sister feel stressed.

After replying one by one, he looked at the time and confirmed that he was still in class. Jiuchong Qianxiao relaxed. If someone replied to him at this time, it probably meant that they were not studying hard.

After all, he still hopes that this group of people can study hard and try their best to get into university.

Then his eyes fell to the end. This was not a message sent to him by Mitakeran and the others, nor was it sent to him by Lisa Imai or Saya Yamabuki, but a message sent to him by Marina Tsukishima, the staff of CiRCLE.

Tsukishima Marina: Chixiao, I'm very sorry to bother you, but can you do me a favor?

? Could it be...

Inside CiRCLE.

"I am so sorry."

Tsukishima Marina bowed deeply to him, and just as he expected, it was because something happened to one of the lead singers of the bands that were scheduled to perform today and they couldn't come. At the moment, there were no bands that could arrive early enough to join the performance, so in the end she wondered if she could ask him for help.

But it was very strange, it was clearly a livehouse, but when the arrangements were made, one band was absent, and they couldn’t find another band to take its place, so they finally found him.

It's hard to imagine if there are any other reasons.

"So... you really can't find it?"

Chisato Kunou looked at Marina Tsukishima with some helplessness. He felt that after suspending the band's activities, he should have some free time. But after returning to Tokyo, all kinds of things came to him again, and most of them were related to the band.

"Um, I'm so sorry."

She knew how much trouble her actions were causing to others, but there was nothing Tsukishima Marina could do. The band had a dinner party yesterday and drank a lot of wine. The lead singer accidentally fell and sat on the wine bottle. The bottle was only taken out this morning.

Not only her as a staff member, but even the members of the band felt that it was a bit too outrageous, but the key point was that this thing happened just like that, so since the lead singer could not participate, the band naturally could not perform.

"Can you show me the schedule?"

"OK, all right."

Marina Tsukishima took out the schedule for today's performances, which listed the bands or individual singers who would be performing today.

After scanning the area, her eyes stayed on the name of Yukina Minato, the name of the absent band that was about two shows below her.

This made Jiuchong Qianxiao a little troubled.

On the one hand, he wanted to listen to Minato Yukina's singing again, and on the other hand, after Minato Yukina said those words to him that day, he always felt that it was a declaration of war against him. If he participated in this performance, would it be considered that he had accepted the other party's declaration of war?

Finally, Jiuchong Qianxiao agreed.

When it comes to music, let music decide the outcome.

As for what happens after that, we’ll talk about it later.

On the other side, in the evening after school.

After leaving the academy, Kasumi Toyama, wearing a uniform, walked in the commercial street. Looking at the closed door of the flower shop, she paused, then turned around and continued walking in the commercial street with a bit of loss.

I walked aimlessly and at my own whim until I smelled a familiar smell in my nose, tempting, sweet and delicious, freshly baked, the smell of Yamabuki Saya.

No, no, no. To be precise, it is the smell of bread on Yamabuki Saya, which is different from the sweet floral scent on Kunou Chisato.

Following the smell, she came to a bakery. Through the window, she could see Yamabuki Saya handing packaged bread to customers. Then she thought for a moment and went in.

"welcome."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yamabuki Saya turned her head and saw a girl with brown hair combed into cat ears looking at her, covering her mouth with her hands and smiling teasingly.

She was stunned for a moment, then after realizing who it was, Yamabuki Saya chuckled and said to her with a smile: "Hehe, the melon buns are just out of the oven."

After packing the freshly-baked, fragrant melon buns, she handed them to Kasumi Toyama, and then placed other freshly-baked breads on the sales shelf.

Glancing at the melancholy on her friend's face from the corner of her eye, Yamabuki Saya comforted her softly, "Don't be so anxious. It's okay if you don't join the club, right? You can actually work part-time."

"Are you still hiring here?"

Hearing this, Toyama Kasumi's eyes lit up. If she couldn't find a club she wanted to join, then working part-time after school would be no problem. So she turned to ask Yamabuki Saya, wanting to know if the bakery was hiring.

Seeing her excited look, Yamabuki Saya wanted to tease her, so she pretended to be serious and said to her: "We are very strict here. You have to get up early and work late. You can only sleep two hours a day."

But this is just a bakery, how could there be such working hours? If it were anyone else, they would be able to tell that Yamabuki Saya was joking with her and teasing her.

But Toyama Kasumi believed it. She looked at the serious expression on Yamabuki Saya's face and said in shock, "So strong."

"I lied to you."

Seeing that Kasumi Toyama reacted as she expected, Yamabuki Saya smiled and said that she was lying to her. So after Kasumi Toyama reacted, she puffed up her little face and gently patted her shoulder with her hand.

This made Yamabuki Saya smile even more happily, and after seeing that the melancholy on Toyama Kasumi's face had disappeared, she smiled softly and said softly: "I hope you can find what you like."

"Ah."

At this moment, realizing that Yamabuki Saya just wanted her not to think so much and just find out what she wanted to do, Toyama Kasumi smiled and nodded.

Finally, after saying goodbye to Yamabuki Saya, she stood outside the bakery, watching the interaction between Yamabuki Saya and her family, smiled, and left.

Chapter 24: Running Away with the Guitar

After leaving the bakery, Toyama Kasumi walked around in the sunset, still aimlessly. Because it was not long since the start of the school year, she naturally did not have any homework. She did not join any clubs, so naturally she had nothing to do after school in the afternoon.

After crossing the zebra crossing, she saw a star sticker fallen on the ground next to a telephone pole. The star, which should have been dazzling, seemed to have lost its brilliance after falling to the ground. She walked forward and picked up the star.

I was a little confused, but more curious. I was confused as to why there was a star sticker here and who put it here.

When she looked to the side, she saw another star sticker.

So she followed the stars and watched as they gradually became more and more, as if guiding her to find something. She couldn't help but chuckle, and her steps became lighter and lighter, as she looked forward to walking in the direction indicated by the stars.

"Meteor Hall?"

Looking at the sign that read Meteor Hall, she blinked, and then her gaze fell to the alley on the side. Compared to Meteor Hall, she was more concerned about the alley with star stickers on both sides. Under the setting sun, in the dim street, they were shining like real stars.

Following the alley, she came to the courtyard and looked at the warehouse-like building in front of her. She had seen it in Jiuzhong Qianxiao's home, so after thinking for a moment, she walked forward and opened the door.
