"Su Shi, that's enough, please calm down."
Shimizu Rin suddenly stood up, skillfully carried her Santa on her back, glanced at the three people in the depressing atmosphere, and finally lingered on Riki for a moment.
"I must go now, thank you for your hospitality."
After saying that, Qing Shui Lin drank his black tea in one gulp and immediately prepared to pay the bill and leave.
As for Su Shi's suggestion of treating everyone to a meal, she was too lazy to pay attention to it.
I originally wanted to take advantage of the free afternoon tea to relax, but I didn't expect to find myself in a gravity field again...
The traditional way of opening the box is a heinous crime!
"Wait! Rin-chan!"
Su Shi tried to keep Lin, but was persuaded back by the other party's cold eyes.
"I should have told you, Sushi, if you guys just chat about nonsense, I will leave immediately."
"Today's party is over. Talking further will only lead to further arguments."
"Instead of arguing, why don't you all just go back and calm down? Throwing yourself into chaos won't solve the problem."
"Lifelong bands are like this. Whoever takes it seriously will be unlucky."
Lin calmly gave his final advice, then left the cafe alone, leaving behind Su Shi and the other two.
A minute later, Lixi also stood up silently.
There's not much to stay for, is there?
Not only did he fail to protect the lamp, but he was also scolded by Lin, and he couldn't even refute a word.
Oh, I'm really useless...
"I'm going back to work. See you later."
After leaving a few words, Shiina Riki stood up from his seat and walked out with his bag.
"Lixi..."
Lixi also left.
At this time, only Su Shi and Mu were left standing silently in the six-person seat, and no one was willing to speak first.
Finally, Su Shi sighed softly, and after a while, the familiar gentle smile appeared on her face again.
His expression changed so quickly that Ruoye Mu didn't have time to react.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Mu, what I said just now was problematic and I didn't consider your feelings."
I can’t let Xiaomu get angry and leave again. I still need Xiaomu to contact Xiangzi.
Xiaomu is my last hope now...
A trace of fatigue appeared on Su Shi's pretty face, but she quickly concealed it. Except for that brief moment, her expression remained normal the rest of the time.
"Sushi..."
Ruo Ye Mu was still hesitating whether to speak. Her long bright green hair set off her delicate doll-like face, but she was quietly wailing in her heart.
She knew that every time she spoke, something bad would happen, so she became more and more afraid to speak.
In front of this Nagasaki Suyo who was on the verge of breaking down, Wakaba Mutsu couldn't even react in a basic way and could only huddle in the corner and rot in silence.
Like a wilted cucumber, no longer needed by the band.
"Xiao Mu, can you tell me about Xiangzi's situation? Or tell me where Xiangzi lives now? I will bring Xiangzi back to CRYCHIC."
Nagasaki Suyo finally revealed her ultimate goal.
Please, Xiaomu, please stand on my side for once!
I will definitely not let you down!
After a long time, Ruo Yemu's lips moved slightly, and under Su Shi's expectant gaze, she slowly uttered a sentence:
"Xiangzi will never come back... Crychic can't go back either..."
......
......
Shimokitazawa.
Rin Shimizu was walking alone on the street, carrying a black guitar case. There was a crowd of people on the roadside, and many girls in bands like Rin were carrying their own instruments.
The girls in the band walked together, chatting and laughing, discussing their band's next performance, their tone full of longing for the future.
Among them, a new band caught Rin's attention.
The reason is simple: the sound is loud.
"Hehe, our band's first performance was a huge success, all thanks to Xiaoqing's guitar!"
"Yeah, yeah, Xiaoqing's guitar solo at the end was so cool! It was so cool!"
"Hehe, actually it's okay, everyone's performance is great."
"Don't be so modest, Xiaoqing. You're the best in our band. We're all lucky to have such a great guitarist like Xiaoqing perform with us!"
"It doesn't matter if we fail, let's all work hard together!"
"Really, Izuna, please don't say such depressing things. Our band will definitely succeed! But we do need to work hard to be worthy of Xiaoqing's guitar~"
The excited discussion made Lin inexplicably irritated. Lin had no choice but to put on the IER stereo in his pocket and prepare to listen to some songs to block out these inexplicably irritating sounds.
"Tsk..."
Out of boredom, I listened to the songs of the current popular band with the volume turned up extra loud. At the same time, the excited discussions of the girls gradually faded away.
The world finally quieted down, but Lin's mind had long been wandering somewhere unknown.
Ten minutes later.
Rin appeared at the door of Starry's performance hall.
It was Starry's business hours and the store was already open, so Lin walked straight into the underground building.
The gloomy decoration style is very consistent with the punk night city style that was popular in the past few years, and it is very rock and roll.
Lonely rock... Rock and roll is what's most important...
"Where's Sister Xingge? Why isn't she here today?"
Lin leaned on the railing and looked down at the interior of the exhibition hall. She could no longer see the familiar arrogant and proud yellow-haired man, and for a moment she felt a little uncomfortable.
Ichichi Hoshige, the store manager of Starry, is a blond lady who is almost 30 years old.
Rin has a certain affection and gratitude towards the yellow-haired store manager. After all, Ichichi Seika helped her a lot when she first came here.
Ijichi Xingge not only provided her with a part-time job, but after listening to her guitar playing, she was even willing to let this unknown female junior high school student go on stage to perform a solo guitar performance.
The other party even paid part of her early tuition. Even though Lin later earned money to pay it back, she still left a friendship in Starry.
She can only remember this kindness in her heart for the rest of her life, right?
She basically would not refuse Yidizhi Xingge's requests, except for wearing strange clothes to work in the exhibition hall, because that was too embarrassing.
"Is Sister Xingge in the backstage lounge? Why don't we go check it out?"
Under normal circumstances, the store manager would not leave the performance hall at will, not to mention that the performance was about to begin, and he could not leave easily at this critical moment.
So, Rin walked towards the backstage lounge, but bumped into Ijichi Hoshika who was coming out.
"Xiao Lin? You finally decided to come today?"
(Image is damaged)
12. Double the yellow hair, double the sunshine
With the change of painting style.
The atmosphere around me is no longer oppressive and heavy, and the long-lost sense of daily relaxation has once again taken over.
At the counter, Ijichi Seika personally poured a glass of orange soda for Shimizu Rin and asked:
"How come you have time to come today? Busy man?"
"Um... I'm sorry about yesterday."
Qing Shui Lin took the soda with a depressed look, drank the cold soda in one gulp, and her delicate little face suddenly wrinkled into a ball.
The gravity monster left a big shadow on her.
Based on Lin's understanding of CRYCHIC, this band's sins are far more than what they have committed so far, and they will have a hard time in the future.
Of course, Shimizu Rin herself is included.
Perhaps the displeasure on Lin's face was too obvious, and Ichi Xingge immediately noticed that the young guitarist seemed to be in a bad mood today.
"Can you still perform later? If not, I'll change it for you."
Ichi Xingge was about to say a few words to comfort Lin. She was worried that this stubborn girl was bearing a burden that she was unaware of, but she stubbornly gritted her teeth and said nothing.
But as the store manager of Starry, she chose to first ask Rin Shimizu whether she was in good condition to play.
The performance is about to begin, and this matter cannot be taken lightly.
"Of course! My guitar will never be defeated!"
Shimizu Rin confidently opened her guitar case and took out her most loyal Santa who would never betray her in front of Ichi Hoshige.
After strumming a few times, the heavy sound of the guitar declared that there was nothing wrong with her condition.
As long as Santa is by her side, Shimizu Rin can withstand anything that happens!
"That's more like it... You already messaged me last night, no need to apologize."
Later, she pulled an envelope from her pocket and quickly stuffed it into Rin's hand.
"This is......"
A look of confusion appeared on Qing Shui Lin's face, and he looked at Ichichi Xingge at a loss.
"Since you didn't make it to the performance last night, I'll refund the quota you submitted yesterday."
Yi Di Xingge turned his head away awkwardly, crossed his arms over his chest, and looked around the store absent-mindedly.
Her blond hair naturally falls on her shoulders on both sides, which makes one's heart beat faster.
"Huh? How can this be possible!"
In order to ensure the flow of visitors, the performance hall will set targets for the band. The part exceeding the target will be shared equally by the band and the venue, while the part less than the target will be made up by the band out of pocket.
In order to prevent bands from running away midway or maliciously occupying performance time, each band needs to pay the quota set by the venue before the performance, which is equivalent to paying a deposit.
If the band's performance is profitable, the venue will return the money after calculating the accounts to ensure that it does not lose too much.
It stands to reason.
Rin Shimizu was unable to perform at Starry last night because of CRYCHIC's incident, so she had to send a message to Ijichi Hoshika to apologize and cancel her scheduled performance.
However, due to the late notification, Ijichi Starry had no time to find a new band, resulting in the performance time originally belonging to Shimizu Rin being wasted and occupying Starry's venue.
Lin had no choice but to accept the lack of indicators yesterday, because it was indeed her problem.
"I can't have it."
Rin did his best to move his gaze away and moved closer to Ijichi Hoshige, ready to hand the envelope back to her.
To be honest, even she didn't want to accept this kind of charity from an acquaintance...
"Just take it if I give it to you, you little brat! Do you still want to continue performing? If you want to perform at Starry, then take this money. I'm the manager!"
Ijichi Xingge glared at Lin unhappily, then reached out and roughly ruffled Lin's soft white hair, making Rin's hair stand on end a little.
After a long while, seeing that the girl had no reaction, she sighed helplessly:
"Really, Rin-chan, you should be a little cute sometimes... Take it. Isn't Rin-chan going to go to college soon? You should make plans early. Don't cry alone like last time."
"......All right."
Since the old tsundere Ichichi Xingge threatened her like this, Qingshui Rin naturally didn't dare to refuse and silently accepted the money.
After all, face cannot be eaten.
