People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

As the rhythm gradually entered a good rhythm, a familiar figure appeared in Nagasaki Suye's eyes. The scene she was most worried about and most afraid of finally happened.

Shoko Toyokawa ran away, just like last time.

The difference is that last time Toyokawa Shoko escaped calmly, but this time she was shocked. Nagasaki Suyo immediately realized that she had accidentally hurt Toyokawa Shoko.

Seeing Shoko Toyokawa escape from the live performance, Nagasaki Motoyo immediately became panicked. Her eyes swung back and forth between her teammates, Shoko Toyokawa and the audience, and she gradually lost control of the bass in her hand.

Tears welled up in Nagasaki Suyo's eyes. What should she do? Chase, chase, she really wanted to catch up. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Nagasaki Suyo's heart was in turmoil. She forced herself to cooperate with her teammates to complete the Kasuga Shadow, but she felt almost dead inside.

The members of the Mygo band seem to be unaware of the coming storm. I wish them good luck.

Something terrible was about to happen. Asagi looked at Toyokawa Shoko's fleeing back and hesitated whether to chase after her. At this time, Toyokawa Shoko was in a very bad mood. If he talked about business at this time, he would be bitten.

She might take out her bad mood on Asagi.

However, when he thought about how he and Toyokawa Shoko had almost no chance of contact, he thought, why not take this opportunity to give it a try? Perhaps, there would be unexpected results.

Asagi ran out with Toyokawa Shoko, while Wakaba Mutsuki beside her did not notice anything unusual about Toyokawa Shoko. She was immersed in the past created by Kasuga Kage.

Although Toyokawa Shoko looked small, she was very fast when running. In just a moment of hesitation, Toyokawa Shoko had already run down the stairs and rushed towards the door.

Chapter 28 Best Composer

Asagi followed out and followed Shoko Toyokawa, jogging behind her.

Then he saw Shoko Toyokawa running to a deserted corner, wiping her tears.

At the live event, mygo's performance ended. Ruoye Mu found that her good friend Toyokawa Shoko was missing. She looked around in the crowd, looking for Toyokawa Shoko.

Toyokawa Shoko was crying, her lower lip was bitten hard by her teeth, and the blood turned pale due to the pressure. Asagi heard a very faint choking whimper, and Toyokawa Shoko's body began to twitch, and her shoulders rose and fell slightly.

She raised her hands and kept wiping them, and the tears on the back of her hands reflected the light of the setting sun.

Asagi walked over, took out a tissue from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Are you a stalker?"

Toyokawa Shoko took the tissue and glanced at Asagi out of the corner of her eye. She recognized Asagi. She had seen him so many times in just a few days, and that incident had happened at the beginning of the school year. It was hard for Toyokawa Shoko to forget him.

"Huh? I just happened to see you here. And you were crying here, how could I just leave you alone? After all, we've met a few times, so we're not strangers, right?"

Asagi tried to argue, refusing to mention that he had run out after her.

Toyokawa Shoko opened the package, pulled out a tissue, and began to wipe. Instead of throwing the used tissue away, she put it in her pocket. This kind of behavior of not littering is a good thing.

However, her eyes were still red, looking like a rabbit's, and even a little swollen.

"Do you think I didn't see you? At the live."

Toyokawa Shoko snorted, exposing Asagi's lie. She did not continue to question him, but turned around and said,

"I'm fine now."

After saying that, Toyokawa Shoko stood there for a while, staring at the sunset in the distance, and began to adjust her mood. She took a deep breath and exhaled, and as she moved, her petite body also rose and fell with the movement, showing a very nice curve.

"Pa, pa, pa"

Toyokawa Shoko slapped her cheeks to wake herself up.

"Can we exchange contact information?"

Seeing that Toyokawa Shoko was about to leave, Asagi felt that if he didn't take the initiative at this time, it would be difficult to have such a good opportunity in the future.

"No."

Shoko Toyokawa refused decisively without showing any mercy.

"Actually, I'd like to work with you. I have some songs that I think are great. However, I haven't found a band that's suitable for them. Do you know if you'd be interested in listening to them? I can send them to you when I get back."

"Sorry, I already have the best composer in mind."

Toyokawa Shoko turned her back to Asagi, her long, sky-blue braids swishing gracefully in the air. At that moment, her presence was as cold and unforgiving as her words.

Although Toyokawa Shoko used honorifics, her tone and attitude were not worthy of honorifics at all.

Asagi wanted to persuade her again, thinking that if he showed her a piece of music, she might change her mind. But unfortunately, he didn't have any ready-made music.

As a result, Asagi's hands could only struggle in the air for a moment before falling down helplessly. Ah, Ziwei, don't go. Asagi suddenly thought of Erkang's posture.

"Xiangzi."

Not far away, another person ran towards this side. When the person got closer, Asagi recognized her as Wakaba Mutsu. Wakaba Mutsu stopped in front of Toyokawa Shoko, breathing heavily.

Asagi saw Wakaba Mutsu standing in front of Toyokawa Shoko, and looked at Toyokawa Shoko anxiously. He didn't know where to put his little hands, so he just grabbed at the air randomly.

Toyokawa Shoko only glanced at her friend and turned to leave, with Wakaba Mutsu following behind. Before leaving, Wakaba Mutsu glanced at Asagi with no expression.

Asagi nodded slightly to Wakaba Mutsu with a smile on his face. Wakaba Mutsu was stunned for a moment, his expression stagnant for a moment, and then he trotted to the side of Toyokawa Shoko.

It looked like another fruitless day, but at least I got to see a live show, and it was quite something. Thinking about it, I really wanted MMK and the others to have a live show, so he could go crazy in the audience.

After standing there for a while, Asagi decided to go back to the live venue. He hadn't used up all his time yet, so he decided to watch other bands perform. Just a few steps back, Asagi saw another familiar figure running out.

A girl with long orange hair, her face full of worry and tension, Nagasaki Suyo.

"Excuse me, have you seen a girl with long blue hair?" asked Nagasaki Suyo.

Asagi knew that Nagasaki Motoyo was looking for Toyokawa Shoko, but unfortunately, he was too late.

"You're looking for Toyokawa Shoko, right? She's already left."

Hearing that Toyokawa Shoko had left, Nagasaki Suyo was very depressed. She looked around and gave up looking for Toyokawa Shoko after making sure that she was not there.

Well, that's it. Asagi was about to leave too. But he was caught. Nagasaki Suyo suddenly ran to his side and grabbed him.

Asagi turned and looked at Nagasaki Suyo, who was breathing heavily from exhaustion, her waist bent.

"What's wrong?" Asagi asked.

"Do you know Xiangzi?"

Asagi thought about it, reluctantly recognized him, and nodded.

"Just classmates."

"Tell me Xiangzi's contact information." Nagasaki Suyo appears to be very decisive when dealing with Xiangzi's affairs.

But unfortunately, Asagi didn't know either.

"I do not know either."

It was obvious that Nagasaki Suyo didn't believe Asagi's statement. However, she also had no evidence to disprove it. So, Nagasaki Suyo came up with a plan, which was to exchange contact information and use Asagi to obtain information about Toyokawa Shoko.

"Nagasaki Suyo."

"Inoue Asaki."

After a brief introduction, the two learned each other's names and exchanged contact information. It's unknown how far Nagasaki Suyo's band, Mygo, will go, but perhaps there will be opportunities for collaboration in the future.

"By the way, how did Inoue-san and Shoko meet?"

Nagasaki Suyo was very concerned about this issue. She pretended not to care and asked, but Asagi knew that she cared very much, especially since she had just had a fight with her teammates because of Toyokawa Shoko.

However, at this moment, there was no aftermath of a quarrel on Nagasaki Suyo's face. It was obvious that she was a master of expression management.

Asagi tilted his head and thought about his interactions with Toyokawa Shoko before answering.

"I stepped on her foot, and then she stepped on mine."

"what?"

Even Nagasaki Suyo was confused by such an answer and couldn't understand it at all.

"Can you be more specific? I don't understand what you're saying."

Yes, Nagasaki Suyo is a very cunning person. She is very good at finding out the information she wants from just a few words.

"It's just that we occasionally meet each other as classmates, but we're not very familiar with each other."

However, Asagi did not intend to make things difficult for Nagasaki Soyo, so he said that he did not have the information she wanted.

Chapter 29 Live Plan

It was Monday, class time again. Asagi took the train, but this time he didn't run into Toyokawa Shoko.

As he walked into the classroom, Kotobuki Nana greeted him. Perhaps the people in the class were used to it and had accepted the setting, so this time, Asagi did not feel the pressure from others.

"Good morning."

"Good morning."

"Asagi-san, how are you thinking about joining the band?"

"Sorry, I still don't have time." That's right, Asagi doesn't have time to join another band, especially if she becomes a member. She'd be too busy to handle everything. Practicing ensembles and regular get-togethers are incredibly time-consuming.

"What a shame. If Asagi-san hadn't joined the orchestra, I might have had to go to the light music club."

"Light Music Club?"

"Well, it's a place for beginners to learn. Because the school has a good culture of forming bands, anyone with some interest will find someone to form a band, so the members of the light music club are very small, so it can be called a retirement place."

"Newbie learning?" Asagi moved his ears and began to think.

The light music club allows students to learn music, and participation in activities isn't mandatory. This is because club activities are different from those in the orchestra. The club is just a general club, and if a club doesn't have any major goals, management is pretty lax.

An orchestra is different. In an orchestra, everyone works hard towards the same goal. To achieve this goal, no one can fall behind, so the coercive force is very strong.

"Are there any special requirements for joining the light music club?"

Asagi became interested. He needed a place to learn music theory and find tutoring, but he didn't have the money. The light music club was an obvious choice.

He needs to investigate.

"??? Asagi-san is interested? Let's go together at noon."

Inexplicably, he and Kotobuki Nana ended up at the light music department of Campus C. The light music department was on the top floor of a dilapidated teaching building. On the way, Asagi passed by the wind orchestra department, which was a large department with about a hundred people.

The light music club, on the other hand, was in a much more dire situation. With so many bands competing for its members and no talented members to maintain its position, the light music club gradually withered away. This was the current situation of the light music club in District C, and Asagi from other campuses was unaware of it.

Asagi and Kotobuki Nana stood in front of the light music club's door and knocked gently. Following the sound of "dong dong", an excited female voice came from inside.

"Please come in."

Then the door was opened from the inside, and a girl wearing glasses appeared in front of him.

"Are you here to join the club? You really have good taste. This is the famous light music club."

The girl with glasses pulled Asagi and Kotobuki Nana to a table in the department, quickly took out an application form from the drawer of the table and placed it in front of them, not giving Asagi and Kotobuki Nana a chance to speak. Then she handed the pen to Asagi, pointed her finger at the applicant column in the application form and nodded carefully.

That look almost said, "Sign up, sign right here!" This actually makes people doubt whether anyone is really willing to join this kind of club.

"Don't hesitate. I won't lie to you. Just sign your name right here. Don't worry about anything else. The more you think, the more trouble you'll have. But music doesn't require worry."

Why is it getting more and more suspicious the more I look at it? Asagi hesitated.

"I'd like to ask, will club activities be compulsory?"

Takeda-senpai thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled brightly.

“It’s not mandatory at all.”

Because she was the only one left in the light music club. After the seniors graduated this year, the light music club in District C couldn't recruit new students. It wasn't that she didn't try her best, but the people in other campuses were too mean.

Why should the university allow clubs to recruit members across campuses? Doesn't this make the strong stronger and the weak weaker? Should the weak be eaten?

So, as long as you are willing to join the club, you can do whatever you want.

Since it wasn't mandatory at all, Asagi thought for a moment and decided he could accept it. He didn't need any specialized skills to begin with, and this nearly abandoned department perfectly met his requirements.

"Just write your name here?"

Takeda-senpai opened her tearful eyes and nodded vigorously like a puppy. She was so relieved that there was someone to take over the club. Finally, the club would not perish in her hands.

She's worthy of her seniors, and who cares about her subordinates? The society won't be destroyed by her. Let me enjoy myself while I'm alive, and don't worry about the flood after my death.

After writing his name, Asagi stepped aside and surveyed the department's activity room. While it wasn't large, it was well-equipped. Furthermore, a cabinet nearby held instruments like guitars and basses.

After Asagi signed, unexpectedly, Kotobuki Nana followed suit. Asagi thought that Kotobuki Nana would choose to visit other campuses and choose the best one.
