Reincarnation Band Magician

There's still an hour and a half until start time.

Wakaba Mu glanced at the performance time and the people queuing up to buy tickets.

[It's actually underground...]

This was her first time in a live house like this. Unlike the spacious and bright places like RiNG, this one looked a bit cramped and dark.

There's a sense of security, the atmosphere must be pretty good, right?

However, she might be recognized in a crowded place.

Holding the ticket tightly in his hand, Xiao Huanggua turned around and prepared to find a place like a beverage store to sit down.

——But no.

The popularity was far greater than expected, and there were relatively few shops. Before the opening, there was a queue at the vending machine not far away.

Ruoye Mu had no choice but to carry his bag and walk along the road.

Finally we arrived at a park.

There was only a strange girl in a pink tracksuit sitting on the swing.

If Ye Mu did not disturb the other party, he wiped the bench with a tissue and sat down.

……

A middle-aged man in a suit and tie came to the park.

His reason was more normal; he simply didn't want to die.

Kidding.

I just don't want to affect my wife at this time.

Also, follow that kid's advice and solve the problem once and for all.

Patted his somewhat thin body.

Is everything alright?

My wife is gentle and generous, and my daughter is elegant and sensible.

It should be an exaggeration.

When they arrived at the park, there was a slide that blocked their view, and Toyokawa Kiyoshi sat down next to it.

It's not surprising to see people dressed like office workers appearing anywhere. Tokyo is a very stressful city, and everyone is aware of this.

Looking up, the only thing in sight was a pink-haired girl.

It's completely different from the lively and noisy young people of today. It's so quiet.

In this way, half an hour passed, everyone was playing with their phones and no one spoke.

Brave: 275, Cactus

Don’t they have any friends?

[She is also alone? ]

【Isn’t the little girl with her friends? 】

Everyone in the triangle of this scenario is confused.

But no matter what others think, they have their own reasons for staying.

Two of them were preoccupied and just sat there looking at their phones or in a daze. One of them, suffering from social anxiety, took one look at the exquisitely dressed little cucumber over there and was almost killed by the impact. He could only look at his phone tremblingly.

In this way, half an hour passed.

"Ta-ta..."

Little leather shoes stepped on the cobblestone road.

The brown-haired girl looked around and approached.

My brother was surrounded by mothers and aunts again, feeling really welcome, and then went to the store to chat with the band members.

She was asked to look around the area and look for her brother's friends.

Yili came here just like last time. He sent messages to Qing every time he left the house, got on the bus, got off the bus, and arrived at Shimokitazawa.

After that, I didn’t see anyone and didn’t send any messages.

Changing his thoughts, Qing guessed what Pochi-chan might be thinking and asked his sister to look around here, with the park as the first priority.

"A nearby park...ah, I found it."

The pink color is very eye-catching, and nearby there is a middle-aged man who looks like he lost his job, died, his wife ran away, and his daughter drinks all day long and is in poor health.

[You're really here, Ms. Pochi.]

My brother really understands her.

He's just my only friend in junior high, so it's no wonder.

"Miss Ichiri...Miss Ichiri?"

I called out twice, but the other party didn't answer and was just looking at his phone and grinning foolishly.

Sushi raised her voice and called out a more recognizable name: "Pochi-chan!"

"Ah... yes!"

The guitar hero, who was reading comments about her "boyfriend" on a social networking site, was startled out of her reverie and fell off the swing.

"Ms. Sushi!"

Having just gone crazy at the other person's brother in his mind, Goto Ichiri was a little flustered at this moment.

"Sure enough, you're here. My brother said you might be afraid of bothering him by sitting around. Well, the show's still about an hour away. Come to my house and wait."

Ms. Nagasaki Motoyo used the term "my home" very skillfully.

"Good, good."

Goto Ichiri didn't dare to go over on his own initiative, but he didn't dare to refuse when someone came to him, so he patted his pink sportswear.

At this time, an unexpected situation occurred.

"Su Shi——"

The green-haired girl walked over, looking shocked, questioning, and thoughtful.

"Xiao Mu? You're here too?"

Su Shi was also surprised. She thought that there was no reason for this young lady, a classmate from school, a member of a band, or just an ordinary friend, to be here.

"you……"

[Did you really do something to Xiangzi? Finally...]

Su Shi’s previous enthusiasm made her think so.

But when she saw the gentle and caring blue eyes of her friend, she hesitated again.

Su Shi, perhaps she was unaware of this. It must be like this. She cared so much about Xiang. If something had happened, she couldn't be so calm now.

If Ye Mu is always hesitant, hesitant, and indecisive, he even lacks the courage to confirm.

So she just answered the other person's question, "The person called Qing gave me the ticket."

As for the following words like "It's not like that here", she didn't say it, and she didn't know how to say it or how to repeat it.

Just like the social phobia of the pink girl next to her, it is a psychological defect that is equally serious enough to affect life.

However, unlike Ichiri, she has a pair of "excellent" parents who will "guide" her, so she can't do nothing like Goto Ichiri, playing guitar for six hours every day and doing some inexplicable things.

There are no retractable closets.

Now, the place where she could feel warm...is no longer there.

The brown-haired woman in front of her was the only one who could make her feel a little bit of residual warmth. Even though it was fake, she couldn't help but immerse herself in it.

only……

"Xiang, I don't know where she is."

Ruo Yemu emphasized this, as she had said many times in the past. After saying it, she would look at the ground silently, ready to face the terrifying low pressure, or the words of the other party who obviously cared but suppressed emotions.

"It's not Xiaomu's fault," "As long as everyone sits down and talks," "I see, Xiaoxiang must have her reasons."

But not this time.

Su Shi's voice was very steady and gentle, even with a hint of playful joy, just like in the past.

"Xiao Xiang is busy for now, but he'll be back soon. Then we can have a good chat and we'll come to a conclusion."

As for what the outcome will be, Su Shi doesn't want to think about it now, but she is optimistic because she has her brother around, so how bad can it be?

But in Ruoye Mu's understanding, this became extremely terrifying.

She couldn't think about those complicated things. If Ye Mu was not "smart".

When Su Shi was about to say something, she added, "I'm here for the first performance today, brother—Qing didn't say anything, right? I'll definitely give you a surprise, 'our' band."

This time, "we" does not include Ruo Yemu.

[Su Shi...is she leaving? ]

Only when this person is fanatically pursuing the past, everyone becomes clearly aware of the existence of CRYCHIC. But when she gives up, the shadows of the past will disappear without a trace like catkins in the wind.

The past no longer exists.

Xiao Mu couldn't catch it.

[It's all my fault. I said something I shouldn't have said that day.]

A huge, twisted pain rolled in his heart, tearing at it like a crocodile.

She collapsed to her knees, her expression like a puppet.

[Ehhhhhhh?!]

Goto Ichiri, who was standing by, originally thought it was some kind of live-action gathering, but now it seems like it might be a school-school-school-school or a case of school bullying?!

After her brother was bullied, the sister’s choice was… to bully others?

Her expression was distorted with fear for a moment.

Su Shi was also startled and squatted down to support her, "Xiao Mu! Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry, Su Shi, it's all my fault, everyone..."

"No one is wrong! Xiao Mu, don't think about it..."

Su Shi is in a good mood today. She would be embarrassed if the past was brought up again and again about the performance with her family.

Ruoye Mu's already weak language organization ability had collapsed, just like that rainy night.

"No, it must be me. No one else is at fault. Why is the band gone?"

"CRYCHIC isn't gone, it's just that no one's there. I said we just need to have a good talk..."

"CRYCHIC won't come back, just like Xiang."

Already dead, just like Aunt Mizuho.

I can't go back, just like Uncle Qinggao.

"Mutsumi!"

Su Shi was angry.

She was kind enough to entertain her old classmate. It’s ok that your little cucumber has thorns normally, but has it turned into a cactus now?

"Ohhhh... calm down! Calm down, all of you!"

As a socially anxious person, Goto Ichiri was more afraid of ghosts than normal people in this atmosphere. If one of them was not her sister-in-law, she would have run away long ago.

Before the atmosphere could become terrifying, a reliable voice interrupted the silence.

Originally, Toyokawa Kiyoshi hadn't planned to say anything, but it looked like a quarrel was about to break out, and as an adult, he couldn't just turn a blind eye.

"I remember it was Xiao Mu from the Ruoye family, right? Is this young lady from Qing?"
