People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

"I understand." Nagasaki Suyo replied casually.

"As for the lights? The progress is obvious. Please keep it up."

"I will try my best." Gao Songdeng lowered his head.

"Finally, it's Nai-chan!"

After hearing her name, Kaname Rakuna stopped chewing her dessert and looked at Shiina Riki curiously. She had a very clear and blank expression on her face, and it was this look that made Shiina Riki feel helpless.

He's a very talented guitarist, but he lacks self-awareness and is too willful and casual. Not only is he often late, but he's also frequently absent. This guitarist has a lot of personality.

"As for you, punctuality is the most important thing. If you have time, tell everyone on your phone ahead of time."

"I understand." Kaname nodded seriously. However, Shiina Riki couldn't see any sincerity in Kaname's answer. After Shiina Riki had dealt with all the teammates, she had something important to announce.

"Everyone's been doing great lately, but it's far from enough." Shiina Riki slammed his hand on the table, startling the others. "Since you've decided to compete with Xiangzi, you should take it more seriously. We have no hope of winning if we keep going like this."

Shiina Riki's words weighed like a heavy stone on Takamatsu Deng and Nagasaki Suyo. Chihaya Aine had no idea of Toyokawa Shoko's abilities; she had only heard her play the piano.

"If it's still like this, we might as well give up early. After all, if we lose, the band won't disband, we'll just change the name."

The atmosphere, which was relaxed and cheerful just now, suddenly became extremely heavy.

"I don't want it!" Nagasaki Suyo suddenly stood up and shouted loudly. The others were shocked by Nagasaki Suyo's sudden action.

"Then take responsibility!" Shiina Riki stared at Nagasaki Suyo with a sharp gaze. Nagasaki Suyo was silent, unable to refute. She gritted her teeth and sat back in her seat. Her father and Xiangzi had both left this girl. When all this happened, she could do nothing but watch it happen. When she tried to hold on, the crueler reality cut through her body like a knife, hurting her deeply.

She didn't want this to happen. This name was the only thing she could keep.

Nagasaki Suyo's expression grew dark and heavy, her face even contorted. In front of her, a cell phone on the table kept flashing; someone had sent her a message. Looking at the phone, the anger in Nagasaki Suyo's eyes grew stronger, and she opened her phone, pouring out her rage on it.

"Ah! You're not missing?"

The moment she saw the message, the anger on Nagasaki Motoyo's face suddenly disappeared. She suddenly returned to her old self as Miss Tsukinomori, leaving Chihaya Aine beside her stunned.

Chapter 227 All

"No, no. Will you be happy if I disappear?" Asagi was confused by Nagasaki Suyo's words for a moment.

"Maybe, who knows. Until that day comes, there is no way to confirm what you are thinking in your heart." Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head and typed.

On the side, Shiina Riki looked at Nagasaki Suyo with a stern face. She was still lecturing, but Nagasaki Suyo actually left her alone to chat with someone else, which made Shiina Riki's anger nowhere to vent. She gritted her teeth and made a threatening sound, but Nagasaki Suyo didn't pay any attention to her at all.

Be patient, be patient, be gentle, be kind, use a kind tone, and be calm. Shiina Riki took a deep breath and kept admonishing himself in his heart.

She had learned a lot from her senior, Rupa. She often went home and lay in bed asking him for advice on maintaining the band's atmosphere, as she had exchanged contact information with him at a previous party. After more than a month of Rupa's guidance, Shiina Riki felt that she had softened considerably.

However, seeing Nagasaki Suyo like this, she couldn't help but get angry.

"You're still far from perfect. You need more practice!" Shiina Riki warned herself, trying to stay calm. She was the only reliable member of the band; the others were completely unreliable. Suyo was only the captain in name only, unable to help at a crucial moment. As for Aine, she needed to practice her crappy guitar first. And as for Deng, Deng was the cutest.

"Perhaps, only the day you disappear will I know whether you are happy or something else."

"Anyway, your idea is a bit strange. My disappearance or not has nothing to do with Su Shi. However, I have something I want to know." Asagi thought about it and decided to ask, "How does Su Shi feel about Toyokawa-san now? Perhaps it is presumptuous for me to ask such a question. Su Shi can choose to answer or not, and I will take some actions based on Su Shi's answer."

Asagi thought about it and felt that there didn't seem to be that much of a rift between Nagasaki Suyo and Toyokawa Shoko. It was probably more about misunderstandings than words. If Toyokawa Shoko were to return to her white form, would her relationship with Suyo return to what it was before?

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned. She looked at the text on her phone, her fingertips trembling. Why did she mention that name? Nagasaki Suyo slammed her phone shut and threw it aside as if to escape. She looked up and saw a group of people surrounding her.

Deng, Aiyin, and Li Xi leaned against her tightly, staring at her curiously. Nagasaki Suyo's face instantly became hot and red.

"Why are you all looking at me?" Nagasaki Suyo looked at everyone with a guilty conscience, feeling uneasy. Did they see what just happened? Or didn't they? What on earth happened, and why am I here?

"Su Shi's expression has become so strange." Chihaya Aine peeked in.

"Well, Su Shi is acting weird." Gao Songdeng followed closely.

"Would you like to buy something to eat?" he asked Lenai to come over.

Nagasaki Suyo was extremely flustered and at a loss. Shiina Riki stood there staring at Nagasaki Suyo, his expression serious, as if he was thinking about something. During this time, Shiina Riki kept nodding, as if he was very sure of his thoughts. "Hmm, hmm, I see~!"

"Why isn't Riki speaking?" The three of them turned to look at Shiina Riki.

"There's nothing much to say about this kind of thing. It's already late today, let's all go back." Shiina Riki made the final decision to end the discussion.

Asagi waited for a long time, but Nagasaki Suyo didn't respond. He leaned back in his chair and sorted out the current relationship between Suyo and Toyokawa Shoko. The last time Aine told him that Toyokawa Shoko was planning to destroy Suyo's band, it seemed that behind his back, the relationship between the two had further deteriorated.

"Hey? You need my help? Something important? Do you want me to come over now?"

While Asagi was still thinking about Nagasaki Suyo and Toyokawa Shoko, a message from Miura Shiome came back. He looked at the message and basically judged Miura Shiome's attitude. She was very concerned, which proved that Miura Shiome was already a captive of the chains.

"It's late today, too late for a date. Besides, my bed is too small to sleep two people," Asagi said half-jokingly. Perhaps, Miura Shiomi was too serious for him to joke with her like this, because Miura Shiomi would never take it seriously.

If it were Nina and the others, Asagi would never dare to make such a joke, because he felt that a serious accident would happen.

"I'll sue you for harassment."

"No, I was just joking, please forgive me." Asagi quickly apologized.

"I have preserved the evidence."

"Ah! I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, please."

"I'm just kidding. Please tell me what it is."

Asagi reported in detail to Miura Shiomi the plan issues he discussed with MMK and others in the evening, and also expressed his own ideas.

"So, Asagi-kun wants this and that, in short, everything?"

"I always feel like you're hinting at me. It's weird coming out of Ms. Miura's mouth."

"I understand. I'll find time to talk to everyone individually. Many ideas aren't suitable to be expressed in front of everyone. In private, one's true thoughts are easily revealed. When the time comes, I'll compile a report on everyone's thoughts and give it to you."

"Ms. Miura is so reliable."

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding! The train arrived. Asagi listened to the announcement of the station and stood up to get off. To his surprise, Toyokawa Shoko also stood up to get off. Thinking back, he had indeed seen Toyokawa Shoko once nearby. It was late at night, just after he returned from Suwa Province. Toyokawa Shoko was sitting alone on a swing, swinging.

After leaving the station, Asagi and Toyokawa Shoko each took two different paths. Meeting Toyokawa Shoko today was purely accidental, and what was even more surprising was that Toyokawa Shoko was no longer so resistant to him, and instead the two of them were able to chat for a while.

Arriving home, Asagi lay in bed and pulled out the old-world phone from the bottom bunk. He couldn't carry it with him, so he kept it hidden in his bunk, locked with a combination lock. He expertly unlocked the phone and opened it, watching the familiar anime series. A smile curved Asagi's lips. Soon, they would be able to say "hello" to everyone in this world.

Looking back on what happened in the past two months, it feels like an adventure, with a different story every day.

"Good night, everyone." Asagi murmured softly to the ceiling and closed his eyes to sleep.

Chapter 228: Just Vote

"Senior, how do I make this tone transition smoothly?"

Nanaha was still absent from the club activities on Tuesday afternoon, and the original 3-member club was about to become a 2-member club. Asagi was practicing guitar in the activity room, and his level was almost catching up with Aine before he transferred.

In a word, dish.

"Asaki doesn't seem to have any talent for musical instruments, even though he's a quick learner of music theory." Takeda-senpai walked over to Asaki and taught him how to transpose. Because of this, the two of them were so close that Asaki could clearly feel her bust.

"Senior, this is the only way you can live like this from now on. It's so pitiful." Asagi felt sorry for the senior.

"What are you talking about?" The senior complained when she saw that Asagi was not paying attention.

"Ah, nothing."

"Look, when the guitar changes pitch, your fingers need to move accordingly. If you practice this more often, you'll soon become familiar with it."

"By the way, do you still remember what I told you last time?"

"What's the matter?" Asagi lowered his head and practiced changing the tone seriously.

"Live, I want to see a live show. But I'd feel a little uneasy if I went alone. You know, people get nervous in unfamiliar surroundings. And because of that, they might do something terrible."

"I don't think she'd do anything terrible even if she continued to act so recklessly." Asagi disagreed with Takeda-san's words. With her height, she would be easily subdued, so there was no chance of her getting angry.

"Are you teasing me on purpose? I didn't know you were so mean." Takeda-senpai pouted, looking a little angry. When she was angry, she would cross her arms, turn her face away, and pout, just like a child.

"I'm telling the truth." Qian Mutou didn't even raise his head. With his diligent practice, he had basically mastered all the guitar tones. All that was left was diligent practice. Soon, he, too, would be able to play the guitar.

Come to think of it, Renai seems to be learning guitar as well. Sometimes I can go and check out Renai's current guitar level and compare it secretly, which will give me a sense of accomplishment.

"Which band's live performance do you want to see, Senior?" Asagi asked. Since Senior was angry, and he had caused her to be angry, he had no choice but to clean up the mess.

"Asaki mentioned there was a band you knew."

"Oh, I remember now. I was planning to recommend a band, but that band is still very young, and the members have some personality. Oh, and two of the members of this band are from our school. The ticket price is also very cheap. If you don't have a band you want to see, I would recommend this one."

"From our school? Well, our school has quite a few bands."

"Senior, you are so talented, why haven't you thought about forming your own band?" Asagi asked curiously.

"I'm not suitable," Takeda-senpai quickly waved her hand and refused. "Besides, I have to stay and look after the club. If I leave, it will die. That would be too pitiful. There are also some reasons. This is a request from the seniors. The seniors handed the club over to me, and I can't just abandon it."

"How about this, this weekend, you take me to see that band's live performance."

"Why should I go? Doesn't Senior know anyone there? Besides, I'm not sure if I'll have time on the weekend."

"This is an order from senior, you are not allowed to refuse." Senior Takeda said in a very firm tone.

After the club activities, Asagi planned to go home. Since he didn't have to work today and didn't have anything else to do, he could use some rest. Asagi walked to the shoe cabinets on the first floor, he saw a blue figure hiding behind them, secretly staring at the school gate.

Asagi opened the shoe cabinet and took out a change of shoes. He wanted to leave but felt he should say goodbye.

"Toyokawa-san, what are you doing here? Aren't you going home?"

"It's none of your business." Toyokawa Shoko didn't even turn her head, her tone as cold as usual.

Asagi followed Toyokawa Shoko's line of sight and looked towards the school gate. Nagasaki Suyo was standing at the school gate, looking around from time to time. Asagi looked back at Toyokawa Shoko's current situation. She was hiding behind the shoe cabinet and looked very anxious.

Should she rush out of school to work or practice with the band?

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Toyokawa Shoko stared at Nagasaki Suyo at the door, pursed her lips, and frowned. It seemed like she was trying to avoid Nagasaki Suyo.

Seeing that Shoko Toyokawa was not in the mood to chat, Asagi left Shoko Toyokawa and walked towards the school gate.

"Long time no see, Suyo-san, are you looking for Tomo and Aine?" Asagi greeted Suyo Nagasaki and helped Toyokawa Shoko cover up.

Like Wakaba Mutsu, Nagasaki Suyo was wearing the same Tsuki no Mori school uniform, standing at the doorway, equally attracting attention. Furthermore, Nagasaki Suyo was also very beautiful, and even more so than Wakaba Mutsu. She stood there, her posture very elegant, and her draped blonde hair was very suitable for this kind of ladylike persona.

"Why did you come out just now? It's been so long since school was over." Nagasaki Suyo complained.

Asagi was a little stunned. How could Nagasaki Suyo say such a thing? Was he wrong? While Asagi was thinking, Nagasaki Suyo grabbed him and pulled his arm out.

"You said you would help me." Nagasaki Suyo said.

Asagi recalled what he had said before, "I think I did."

"I saw Ave Mujica's information on my phone last night. Xiaoxiang seemed to have participated in a competition, and many people were discussing Ave Mujica online."

Nagasaki Motoyo must be talking about the competition they held on Sunday. Judging from the situation of Ave Mujica's agency, this opportunity will definitely be promoted in various ways.

"Ave Mujica is very popular right now. If this continues, we will definitely lose."

"We, it's you."

Nagasaki Suyo glared at Asagi, and Asagi quietly shut his mouth.

"I don't want to lose," said Nagasaki Suyo.

"This isn't a matter of losing or not. You're so far behind." Asagi was frustrated. Not only were Suyo and the others far behind, they were also inferior to Ave Mujica in every way. Even their financial resources couldn't match them, and they were far behind. Ave Mujica was backed by the Toyokawa family, a powerhouse that couldn't even be harmed by a 168 billion yen throw.

Rather than competing with that monster in terms of financial resources, it’s better to invest early.

"That's why I don't know what to do." Nagasaki Suyo paused, lowered her head, and her voice choked. "Lixi told me, but I don't know what to do at all. I don't want to lose, never again."

Looking at Su Shi like this, Asagi recalled the scene of Su Shi kneeling on the ground that night. Su Shi stood in front of him as if she would cry at any time. At that moment, Asagi's heart suddenly tightened.

Chapter 229: Not at all

Looking at Nagasaki Sushi's face that was about to cry, she was panicked like an abandoned puppy and could only wander around. Asagi remembered that he had promised Sushi before, that he would help her.

At that time, Su Shi wanted to defeat Toyokawa Shoko and take her back. Now Su Shi wants to protect the name of the band.

"I will help Su Shi." Asagi made the decision.

Nagasaki Suyo's face, which was about to cry, suddenly calmed down, and even curled up the corners of her mouth. She couldn't help but smile, giving Asagi a feeling that her conspiracy had succeeded.

"However, there are limits to what I can do. Ultimately, it all depends on Sushi herself." Asagi watched the change in Sushi's expression and knew that she had been tricked by Sushi. This girl deliberately pretended to be pitiful in front of him.

“???” Nagasaki Motoyo looked up at Asagi, somewhat confused.

"For example, practice, live performances, and all kinds of promotions depend on your own hard work."
