Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

The content of their discussion was clearly heard by their deskmate behind them, Toyokawa Shoko, including the news that Rautism was going to hold a live performance at the Budokan.

"Rautism? Budokan? In a week?"

Shoko Toyokawa muttered these words in confusion. She felt completely bewildered and had no impression of this matter at all.

but!

As the operations girl of Rautism, how could she not know about Rautism's performances?

Could it be that......

Rin deliberately concealed it and didn't tell me?

The more I think about it, the more confused I become.

Shoko Toyokawa simply turned on the internet on her phone—she planned to log into her account herself and check Rautism's official website.

Let's find out the truth and find out whether Rautism really has news about a performance at the Budokan.

"Drip drip..."

Unsurprisingly.

An official announcement appeared in Xiangzi's golden eyes, with an official seal attached to the upper left corner.

Rautism will be holding its first live performance at Budokan in a week! We'll be sharing the stage with a band, so please support us, Mina-san!

There is no doubt that everything the girls discussed is true, but it is obvious that this operations girl is not aware of it.

"..."

Although she felt a little strange inside, Toyokawa Shoko did not think that the two people from Rautism were excluding her. Knowing Shimizu Rin's character well, she felt that there must be other reasons.

but!

Toyokawa Shoko looked out the window with a hint of regret.

If it were in the past, she and Shimizu Rin were both studying at Tsuki no Mori, and she wouldn't have to wait long. She could just go to the rooftop during lunch break and find Shimizu Rin's fixed refresh point.

But the fact is that she has transferred to Hanaoka Girls' Junior High School and is in the same grade as the former lead singer of the band, Tomo Takamatsu. Fortunately, the two are not in the same class, otherwise Toyokawa Shoko really doesn't know how to face this lead singer girl.

Ever since.

Shoko Toyokawa waited silently until school was over, then headed for Rautism's studio, but after waiting for a while, there was still no sign of the two girls.

"Let's contact them through Line."

Originally, Xiangzi planned to have a detailed offline discussion with Lin and Xiao Gudu to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings that would indirectly damage the scope of Rautism.

But after everyone went to high school, Toyokawa Shoko found that she suddenly couldn't understand Rin's whereabouts, and except for recording videos, the two girls rarely met.

And the two guitarists of Rautism always seem to be running to the same place...

[Rin, are you free now? ]

[Yes, what's wrong? ]

Perhaps it was because Shimizu Rin on the opposite side was just checking messages on her phone, and Xiangzi was delighted by the instant reply. After thinking for a while, she typed and asked.

[Will Rautism hold a live performance at Budokan next week? ]

[Oh, by the way, Xiangzi, didn't you take leave yesterday to deal with personal matters? That's why Xiao Gudu and I deliberately didn't inform you... Xiangzi, did you see Rautism's updates today?]

[Well, I'm in Rautism's studio right now, preparing to finish today's work.]

When Toyokawa Shoko saw Shimizu Rin's explanation, she felt relieved, took a long breath, and her tense expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

[Okay, Xiangzi, you go ahead and get busy. I'll tell you about this performance in detail after Xiao Gudu and I return to the studio.]

【understood. 】

at this point.

Shoko Toyokawa put away her phone contentedly. As long as she knew that she was not being deliberately excluded by the two girls, they could discuss other matters later.

but......

This time, Lin still didn't explain on the phone.

A week later, no information was even revealed about which band would be performing on the Budokan stage with Rautism.

and......

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but click on Ave Mujica's team building plan on her tablet and muttered quietly:

"I should have been here first..."

Being able to perform on the Budokan stage with Rautism, this mysterious band must be at least of a professional standard, right?

If it was Ave Mujica as expected by Toyokawa Shoko herself, this galactic battleship would definitely be able to hold a live performance at the Budokan and stand next to Rautism.

pity......

This mysterious band came out of nowhere and took over the position that might have belonged to Ave Mujica, and their professional level is expected to only increase.

Although Toyokawa Shoko had previously planned to start preparing for the formation of Ave Mujica immediately after transferring to high school, she has been busy with transferring and practicing the piano recently, which has forced the matter to be delayed.

Xiangzi didn't even communicate with his childhood friend Mutsu Wakaba, who was the easiest to get along with, and formally invited him to join Ave Mujica, which had not yet been fully formed.

However, the blue-haired girl looked at the status posted by Rautism yesterday on the computer screen, and there was a photo of the martial arts hall attached below the status.

Looking at this photo, the girl felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in her heart. It seemed that she had to form Ave Mujica as soon as possible, otherwise something would definitely happen that she would regret.

"Let's go talk to Xiao Mu in a few days. If time allows and Ave Mujica is organized properly, it won't be long before we can perform at the Budokan."

Toyokawa Shoko expected this. Although the girl was still dreaming about the future, it was still time to work, and she had to take care of her work first.

But Xiangzi did not gain nothing.

At least during the holiday, Xiangzi made good progress with the bassist she had her eyes on, Yawata Kailing. If she could come up with a suitable lineup, she would probably easily join the future Ave Mujica.

The drummer that was originally being sought, Toyokawa Shoko, already has a good target at this stage, waiting for Shoko to observe the other party next time.

As for the two guitarists and lead singer of Ave Mujica, Xiangzi has already decided to invite Lin and Mu to form a band.

Looking for a suitable opportunity, she will actively invite Rin Shimizu to join Ave Mujica to become a satisfactory Galaxy Battleship band.

......

......

Half a day ago.

High-end apartment, Nagasaki home.

"Ah... How could this happen..."

Nagasaki Suyo stared at the interface on her phone showing the failed purchase, her face becoming dejected and her eyes filled with loneliness.

Because she failed to see Rautism's updates in time, Nagasaki Suyo missed the best opportunity to buy tickets for the Budokan, resulting in Suyo being unable to get tickets at all now, and the tickets on the Internet are also sold out.

Unless Su Shi can get a ticket to the Budokan next week from someone else, she will probably miss Rautism's first offline performance.

"Absolutely not!"

After all, this is the first offline performance of "The Desperate Guitarist". How could Nagasaki Suyo miss such a close contact opportunity?

But now how to get tickets to the Budokan has become a problem, and Nagasaki Suyo doesn't know where to start.

finally.

Nagasaki Suyo really couldn't think of any other good solution, so she had to post a message below the Rautism comment section, asking for tickets at a high price, hoping that her financial resources could move people's hearts.

But Su Shi lay on the sofa anxiously. She had not received any message from the ticket seller, but received an unexpected Line message.

Seeing this, Nagasaki Suyo opened the Line page and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"Xiao Mu? Why did she send me a message?"

Nagasaki Suyo was a little confused.

Because of the disbandment of CRYCHIC, the relationship between Rin, Shoko, Nagasaki Suyo and Wakaba Mutsu is a little too stiff compared to before.

When the two girls met on the Tsuki no Mori campus, they would just exchange greetings and then go their separate ways. They didn't look like a pair of friends who had known each other for a long time, not to mention that they were still in the same class.

Wakaba Mu's message was brief.

A paragraph of words paired with a picture.

[I know Sushi really likes Rautism... I happen to have two tickets here. Would you like to go with me, Sushi?]

In the photo, a slender, white hand is tightly holding two tickets to the Budokan. These are the tickets that Nagasaki Suyo wants most at the moment.

But considering that it was Wakaba Mu's invitation.

No matter from which angle, Nagasaki Suyo felt that she needed to think carefully.

Could it be that... Xiao Mu is willing to reconcile with me, so she plans to invite me to watch the performance to ease the relationship between the two of us?

Nagasaki Suyo felt that her inference was flawless.

She wanted to refuse, but after seeing the two tickets in the photo, the girl hesitated again.

"If I could see Xiaoming playing guitar in person, why wouldn't I go over there?"

So, after some hesitation, Nagasaki Suyo finally accepted Wakaba Mu's invitation and went to see Rautism's performance with him...

but.

Nagasaki Suyo did not intend to take Wakaba Mu's performance tickets for free. She planned to transfer the full price of the original tickets to him so that they would owe each other nothing.

Now that the matter has been resolved, Nagasaki Motoyo started looking through the past videos of "The Desperate Guitarist", looking forward to the grand performance in a month.

But there was one thing that made Nagasaki Suyo feel very strange.

Who is this mysterious band that's going to be performing at the Budokan in a month? And who's the one who's closing the show before two incredibly talented professional guitarists?

She has never heard of it?

Moreover, Xiaoming and the others never showed their faces during online performances before, and you didn’t show your face in the videos either, but maybe that will change this time?

If only I could see what my life looks like...

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo was already looking forward to the lively scene in the Budokan in a week, and the shining little life standing on the mountain in the center of the stage.

That's enough to look forward to, isn't it?

But thinking about this...

The face of another white-haired girl could not help but appear in Nagasaki Sushi's mind. She felt relieved and then stared at Rautism's homepage in a daze.

This might be an opportunity to change the current situation...

"We could actually invite Rin to go to the Budokan show with us, but unfortunately there aren't any extra tickets right now."

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the gray avatar on her mobile phone's friend page and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. During the vacation, she had no contact with Shimizu Rin at all.

The relationship between the two seems to be frozen like this, without any progress, and Shimizu Rin still treats Su Shi as an ordinary friend, with no possibility of going any further.

There is still a long way to go before the former band can be resurrected...

At the same time, this also means that the two of them actually have no common topics and their personalities are not compatible.

2. The joining of Hailing

RING Exhibition Hall.

Two girls sat at the counter with two cups of tea on the table.

"Xiangzi, did you ask me to come over this time to discuss something? But please hurry up, I have a performance with a hired band later."

Kairei Hachiman looked up at Shoko Toyokawa who was staring at the table beside her, with a puzzled look on her face - not long ago, she received a Line message from Shoko Toyokawa, saying that she had made an appointment to meet in this RING performance hall to discuss issues related to the band.

At that time, Hachiman Kailing didn't think much about it, thinking it was just a simple exchange of information, so she took the time to come.

But now that Hachiman Kailing had personally observed Xiangzi's attitude, that serious expression was probably not just an ordinary chat.

"It won't take up too much of your time, Hailing, but please listen to what I'm going to say next."

Shoko Toyokawa calmly put down the teacup in her hand, then took out the draft contract she had prepared in advance from the handbag beside her and handed it to the confused Hachiman Kailing in front of her.

"Just a reminder, this isn't a formal contract. It's just a temporary draft, and it might be adjusted later. I'm bringing it here mainly to get your opinion, Hailing."

"My opinion? The contract?"

Upon hearing this, Hachiman Kailing took the draft contract handed over by the other party with confusion.
