People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

Asagi watched Wakaba Mutsu's lonely back slowly disappear from his sight. He once again turned his back to the school gate, just like before, and waited.

Most of the students had already left school, and the flow of people in front of the campus gate had become noticeably thinner. Asagi heard a hurried voice behind him approaching him rapidly.

Chapter 126 Don’t tell

When Wakaba Mutsu disappeared from Asagi's sight, he turned his head and saw another familiar figure. Nagasaki Suyo was jogging towards him on the campus.

After a while, Nagasaki Suyo stopped in front of Asagi, breathing heavily. Her upper body was heaving violently, and her shoulders were shaking.

"You've been waiting for quite some time. I'm so sorry I'm late. I was kept after school for a meeting with Asakura-sensei, and I didn't expect it to take this long."

Nagasaki Suyo breathed in the air greedily while apologizing intermittently.

"It's okay, let's go."

Asagi gently waved the cucumber in his hand and answered calmly.

Unexpectedly, Nagasaki Suyo raised her little hand weakly and said in a weak voice,

"Let me rest for a while, it will be fine in a moment. As soon as the meeting was over, I rushed out. I ran too fast and I almost couldn't breathe."

This tone of voice sounded like he would suddenly close his eyes and fall asleep in the next second.

"Su Shi, your speed can't even be called fast."

Asagi directly exposed Nagasaki Suyo's misunderstanding. When he heard the sound behind him, he turned around and saw Nagasaki Suyo, whose speed could not be described as fast.

Nagasaki Suyo immediately rolled her eyes at Asagi, who cautiously took a step back. He knew the backside of Nagasaki Suyo, and he didn't want to piss her off. Nagasaki Suyo continued to press her chest, breathing in and out rhythmically to calm her breathing.

Asagi waited patiently for a while, and Nagasaki Suyo gradually recovered from the lack of oxygen. She slowly stood up and began to look at Asagi. Her eyes turned around and quickly looked at Asagi's body. There was nothing particularly abnormal. But,

“Why cucumber?”

Nagasaki Suyo stared at the cucumber in Asagi's hand and asked curiously.

"It was given to me by a very cute and beautiful girl, hehe." Asagi shook the cucumber in his hand and smiled happily.

"You're lying!" Nagasaki Suyo didn't believe it.

"No, everything I said is true." Asagi said with certainty.

"Why did that girl give it to you?" Nagasaki Suyo was suspicious.

"Maybe she felt sorry for me, standing alone at the school gate like an abandoned kitten. Then, she was so kind that she gave me a cucumber!"

Asagi half-jokingly introduced the origin of this cucumber.

"It's becoming more and more fake." Nagasaki Suyo sneered.

"Okay, let's stop talking about this and go find 486 first. You didn't have much time to rehearse, and you wasted so much time."

Asagi turned and took the first step. He hadn't been delayed here for too long. He walked quickly along the narrow slope in front of the school gate.

Behind him, Nagasaki Suyo followed closely, chattering questions,

"Is that a girl from my school? Bringing cucumbers to school? No, it should be cucumbers from the school. Is she from the gardening club?"

"I do not know either."

Asagi answered slowly and casually.

“It’s really perfunctory.”

"Because I really don't know, haha."

Asagi smiled happily. He had gotten Wakaba Mutsu's contact information, which meant that Asagi's future prospects would become much wider. Currently, he could contact at least three bands: MMK, Suyo's band, and Wakaba Mutsu. Although Toyokawa Shoko was the leader of Wakaba Mutsu's band, Ave Mujica.

At least, with Wakaba Mutsu's eyes, Asagi would not be blind to the information about Toyokawa Shoko.

Nagasaki Suyo pouted.

Sitting on the train to 486 House, Nagasaki Suyo tilted her head and stared at the script in her hand. Her mouth was tightly pursed, and she seemed a little angry.

The script in Su Shi's hand was covered with numerous alterations and annotations, which hadn't been there yesterday. It seemed she hadn't taken it seriously.

Nagasaki Suyo and 486 worked very hard, but what about him? Was he just a bystander in front of 486 and Nagasaki Suyo? Such a simple thing, with no technical content. Asagi looked down at the cucumber in his hand, thinking deeply!

If Asagi had never come into this world, or if he really didn't have that golden finger in his hand and was just an ordinary person, and 486 was his good friend, would he really think that 486 was doing the right thing if he gave up the path that An and Tendou had paved for her and devoted himself to the lifestyle of MMK?

It's true that many young people dream, but the road ahead is truly arduous. The stories of MMK, Lupa, and Xiaozhi are all too real. They are more talented and work harder than the average person, yet they find themselves in this predicament.

What would happen to those without talent if they embarked on this path? Would they sell their souls and then their bodies for their dreams? The thought frightened Asagi.

He admitted that his thoughts were a bit dark, but that was also one of the possible endings.

Asagi glanced at Nagasaki Suyo, who was staring at the script intently, and asked,

"Su Shi, do you like music?"

Hearing Asagi's question, Nagasaki Suyo put down the script in her hand and fell silent.

"Don't you like it?"

"I don't know." Nagasaki Suyo answered softly, but her words were filled with confusion and blankness. She raised her eyes, looked out the window in front of her, watched the scenery flash by outside the window, and said quietly,

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I don't like it as much as I imagined. For me, music is not everything. There are many things that I can give up music for."

As she spoke, Nagasaki Motoyo's hands could not help but tightly grasp the pages of the script, causing wrinkles and even deformation of the paper. Asagi looked at Nagasaki Motoyo's hands and could not help but widen his eyes.

Now, there must be a few little people fighting in Nagasaki Suyo's head, she is so into the role.

"Well, I spoke my true thoughts."

Suddenly, Nagasaki Motoyo came to her senses and found herself speechless. She hurriedly sorted out the script. She kept rubbing the paper back and forth, trying to make it flat again.

After a while, the paper finally smoothed out, though the wrinkles were still noticeable. Nagasaki Suyo's mouth dropped open, a look of grievance in her eyes. Then she turned abruptly and glared at Asagi, as if to say, "It's all your fault, you asked such nonsense questions."

"You are not allowed to tell Deng and the others."

Nagasaki Suyo clenched her fists and threatened slightly.

I don’t need to tell you about this kind of thing, Asagi complained in his heart. But he still nodded in agreement.

"I know. I won't tell you. I won't tell you."

Chapter 127 Need

At 486's house, Nagasaki Suyo and 486 stood in the middle of the living room, facing each other. 486 looked calm, with a natural look in his eyes, while Nagasaki Suyo was a little nervous.

Asagi held a camera in his hand and filmed them.

Because there are no judges now and Asagi is not a professional, he cannot make professional evaluations on some details, so his task changes from being a spectator to being the person who preserves the scene.

In other words, he wanted to record the contact process between 486 and Su Shi, and then give it to 486 for her to review.

Asagi focused the camera on the faces of 486 and Nagasaki Suyo. Two soft, delicate cheeks emerged in Asagi's eyes. He thought they looked even prettier in the camera than they normally did. Perhaps it was because of the focus; normally, his gaze would be distracted by other things.

"Please begin."

Asagi waved his hand downward, making a starting motion.

486 and Nagasaki Suyo were immersed in the atmosphere of the performance. 486, a veteran of the battlefield, had performed numerous times on stage, and she was calm and composed as she recited the script.

On the other side, Nagasaki Suyo was not weak either. She was just a little nervous at the beginning, but as 486 started, Nagasaki Suyo slowly got into the rhythm and performed vividly. At least in the eyes of Asagi, an outsider, it was considered acceptable.

Looking at Nagasaki Suyo's integrated performance, 486 seemed a little surprised. As a pure amateur newcomer, Nagasaki Suyo's performance can be called excellent.

In fact, to some extent, Nagasaki Suyo is not a newcomer. Ever since her parents divorced in elementary school, Nagasaki Suyo has put on a mask for herself, and since then, Nagasaki Suyo's life has been a performance.

It wasn't until Nagasaki Suyo met Toyokawa Shoko that her acting career came to a temporary end. Because Toyokawa Shoko was too dazzling and too gentle at that time, Nagasaki Suyo felt a longing for her and felt the happiness she hadn't felt in a long time, and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

That's why Nagasaki Soyo was so obsessed with Toyokawa Shoko. Asagi thought so.

486 and Nagasaki Suyo practiced while Asagi filmed them. After their practice was over, 486 and Nagasaki Suyo would sit together and review the scenes Asagi filmed from beginning to end.

486 was talking about some professional terms while discussing her movement improvements with Nagasaki Suyo, while Asagi was sitting on the side eating boredly.

"Why? The angle of your shot is a little weird. Is the focus not adjusted correctly?"

486 frowned slightly as he stared at the video Asagi had filmed. As far as the content was concerned, there wasn't anything wrong. It was just that the camera's focus seemed odd; some of the body movements were out of focus. And most of the time, the camera was focused on the two people's faces.

"Does 486 think so too? I think it's a bit strange too."

Nagasaki Suyo nodded in agreement.

Asagi frowned upon hearing this and came closer. He immediately noticed the [strange content]. Asagi smiled a little awkwardly, trying to cover it up.

"Maybe my hands are shaking a little." Asagi explained.

"Most of the shots are on the face, and there are quite a few close-ups." Nagasaki Suyo's eyes were very sharp, and she quickly discovered the core of the problem.

Then, 486 and Nagasaki Motoyo turned their heads at the same time, staring at Asagi with unfriendly eyes. A huge pressure came over Asagi invisibly.

"Haha? Haha? I didn't notice that." Asagi touched the back of his head and decided to play dumb.

"Do you think we will believe it?" The two girls showed no intention of giving in or withdrawing.

Asagi thought about it and decided to tell the truth. Besides, he was an amateur to begin with, and since the camera was given to him, it meant he could decide what to film. Furthermore, 486 had no special arrangements or precautions.

Well, as long as Asagi completed his task and successfully removed their practice videos, even if he gave them a few close-ups in the video, it wouldn't be a violation.

He didn't take the video content away, and finally handed it over to 486. Besides, since it was handed over to him to shoot, making it look good is also a manifestation of "doing his best".

In the end, he, An Hesuba, and Nagasaki Suyo were all familiar with each other. Not only could they take pictures, but they could even get up close and look at them. So, this kind of thing was not a big mistake.

"Maybe it's because the two beautiful girls are too cute, so I accidentally made a mistake." Asagi clasped his hands together sincerely, pretending to admit his mistake.

Seeing Asagi's expression, since he has admitted his mistake, and it is not a big mistake, there are just some flaws in the shooting content, so just a few complaints will be enough.

Nagasaki Suyo and An He Subaru both think so.

They looked at each other, with a hint of dissatisfaction on their faces and a bit of shyness, and said,

"Huh? Are you saying this to please us?"

"I'm serious, and my evaluation is very objective and fair. I can guarantee that I'm not lying." Asagi raised his right hand and assured the gods. There was no reason to lie about this kind of thing; what he said was the truth.

Anhe Subaru and Nagasaki Motoyo's cheeks flushed slightly for a moment, and then the pressure began to loosen. Following Asagi's apology, Nagasaki Motoyo and Anhe Subaru stopped the subjugation operation.

"Hehe, Asagi is quite honest in this regard. You have good taste in the fact that she's a beautiful girl."

486 held his cheeks, rocking them back and forth, lost in narcissism.

"Huh? 486 How did you fall for it so easily?" Nagasaki Suyo shook An Hesuba's shoulders violently to make her sober up.

When I left An and Subaru's house, it was about the same time as yesterday. 486 waved goodbye to them at the downstairs door.

Nagasaki Suyo tiptoed along the dimly lit street. She seemed in good spirits, her steps light and graceful, her body swaying gently. Ivy climbing along the sidewalk gave the impression of being on a grassland, making her look particularly lively.

"Do you need me to take you home?" Asagi asked.

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly stopped where she was, her body seemed to be frozen. She turned her head and looked at Asagi with doubt, and said with some dissatisfaction,

"Isn't that what you should do? You take someone out, use them, and then you want to leave them on a strange road and walk away?"

"That's a bit harsh. I was just asking."

"Then I answer, yes!"

"Got it, let's go."

Chapter 128 Guards

Next, Asagi went to pick up Nagasaki Suyo as usual, while An, Subaru, and Nagasaki Suyo's training was also proceeding normally.

On Friday night, 486 invited Asagi and Nagasaki Suyo to dinner together. Of course, this time they were eating out, and 486 was treating them. The restaurant was not far away, but a self-service hot pot restaurant nearby.

"I hope I can handle grandma's surprise inspection." 486 sighed.

"You will definitely be able to do it. I have seen how hard 486 has been working these days." Nagasaki Motoyo raised her hand to cheer 486 on.

The two girls looked at each other with affection, becoming close friends. Meanwhile, Asagi ate silently, not joining in the conversation.
