Imagawa Risa couldn't help but glance at the young lady that Narusawa Kaede had brought. Although the young lady was very enthusiastic when they first met, she had been drinking her black tea in silence ever since she sat down. The only interaction she had was praising the desserts she had made.
This suggests that the initial enthusiasm was merely a social armor, and the other person may be bored now, but long-standing social etiquette forces her to sit here, so she has to use black tea to cover it up.
This kind of pampered young lady lives a really tiring life.
If only I could make her life easier, but her family must be putting a lot of pressure on her.
Naruzawa Kaede thought that Imagawa Risa's analysis was incredibly detailed, but it missed the mark completely. On the contrary, it seemed like she was talking about... the other young ladies who lived behind masks.
Speaking of which, could Imagawa Risa also see the mask that Shoko is wearing on her face now?
Mingze Feng also looked at Xiangzi.
You can guess what Toyokawa Shoko is thinking without even looking. It's nothing like the complicated thoughts Imagawa Risa has.
This black tea is actually quite delicious...
She simply sat there, enjoying a brief moment of peace.
Naruzawa Kaede had no idea how much the tearing away of flesh and blood after removing the thorns that Toyokawa Shoko had draped over her would affect her.
But she probably hadn't had it in a long time, so she just wanted to quietly savor the rich aroma and delicious cookies for a while.
Perhaps this is the first time since she moved out of the Toyokawa family home?
Besides, it's possible that she might meet with Wakaba Mutsu... but since no one from C-group went, have they met again?
"what happened?"
Toyokawa Shoko blinked, straightened her back, and said, "Speaking of which, that keyboard-carrying-on-shoulder job..."
beep beep... beep beep...
The three of them instinctively started looking for their phones.
After answering the phone, Imagawa Risa heard what the other person said and stood there dumbfounded.
Then came a chill down my spine.
"It'll be our turn in another hour?!"
"You're saying Yuki abandoned you and ran away?"
"The store manager will tear us up!"
Chapter 57 Toyokawa Shoko's Amazing Stage Experience
Everything turned out alright...
The performance began as scheduled.
For the Roselia show, all five members were present. Lead singer Yukina Minato moved her hands and recited the song list for the performance.
Song I AM
Naruzawa Kaede withdrew his gaze and looked at the restless Platinum Rinko beside him, who was holding his hands in prayer for everything to go smoothly.
This is Roselia's keyboardist.
Rinko Shirogane had a bandage on her wrist. If you looked closely, you could see that her left hand wasn't exerting any force; it was just resting on her right hand.
She fell from the tree and sprained her wrist. The doctor said she would need a week.
As for who the keyboardist on stage is...
Who else could it be?
Mingze Feng leaned back; the seats in the venue were very comfortable. He looked at the stage, where the keyboardist was already poised to unleash his skills.
On stage, petite Aya Utagawa closed her eyes and tapped out her unique rhythm.
The guitar and bass structure suddenly expands its wide range, accompanied by cheers from the audience, swaying lights, and the end of the intro.
Yukina Minato once again showcased her top-notch singing voice.
[It's almost here... I'm in charge of the keyboard part.]
He gripped the platinum prism even tighter.
"Do not worry."
It was as if they were responding to Naruzawa Kaede's call.
The keyboard's steady and confident sound instantly blended into the harmony of the entire band.
On stage, when the stage lights separated from Yukina Minato, the entire stage lit up, and the five of them were arranged in a five-ring formation, with the keyboard and drums placed behind them.
From this position, Narusawa Kaede can see Toyokawa Shoko.
In a corner of the stage, accompanied by the music, she swayed gently.
ROSELIA wore a mask during her performance, but many people could still tell that the keyboardist was not the black-haired Rinko Shirogane.
Among a group of fierce roses, Toyokawa Shoko is like a plum blossom and a chrysanthemum, using the gentle touch of the keyboard to play a brand new melody.
Platinum Rinko held her breath and listened intently.
This feeling... isn't Roselia's "I Am Like a Song".
But it's wonderful! It infuses emotion into the keyboard, into the black and white keys.
Yukina's voice also became warmer.
The sky-blue light weaves a dreamlike net on the stage.
When Toyokawa Shoko stands on the stage, she is the most vibrant flower.
This is Toyokawa Shoko.
Mingze Feng also became slightly excited.
This is the Toyokawa Shoko he repaired.
Although there seems to be a minor problem, this is who she is now, standing on the stage.
Without a doubt, it was the beautiful, confident, and radiant Toyokawa Shoko.
She wore a black rose in her long, deep blue hair, but there was no other sign of ROSELIA.
"From now on, there shouldn't be any problems."
Mingze Feng muttered to himself, the only worry being that Xiangzi's underlying illness hadn't been cured...
Has she moved on, let go, or is she just tired? That's why she's lying here resting for a while after Mingze Feng reached out to her repeatedly.
It's the latter.
Although it feels good to be loved and cherished by Xiangzi like this.
but…
Looking at Xiangzi on the stage, Mingze Feng felt that he preferred to see her as she was now.
Naruzawa Kaede looked at the bandaged wound on Shirogane Rinko's hand and reached out to type on his phone.
"how's it going?"
"How was that...? That's amazing... even though you only practiced once..."
Actually, Narusawa Kaede was asking about her hand...
Rinko Shirogane seemed to feel that she couldn't express herself clearly, so she picked up her phone again and started typing.
"Abundant, overflowing emotion, that soaring feeling!!!"
Yes, that's really amazing.
When was the last time Xiangzi stepped onto the stage?
That was C-Group, their only Spring Shadow Performance.
When she left the C group, the weight of reality was already suffocating her, and she could no longer care about music or her inner passion.
But now... her piano keys have finally rekindled that throbbing feeling, like the white moonlight.
That's great.
Yukina Minato is still singing loudly.
ROSELIA's performance proceeded smoothly.
In the morning, they all went to find Minato Yuki, and the search went very smoothly.
Moreover, using "once" to indicate the number of times you practice is not accurate.
Including Toyokawa Shoko's solo performance using the black and white keys, their impromptu practice lasted only ten minutes.
Ten minutes is the time that slips away in the blink of an eye while looking at your phone.
Ten minutes was the time that Toyokawa Shoko used to recommend herself, play a solo, and immediately pull the four people together to start practicing in sections.
Then, go on stage.
show.
A magnificent performance, a breathtaking performance.
What Narumawa Kaede remembers most vividly is how Toyokawa Shoko behaved in front of everyone when the unexpected happened.
Roselia, who had originally planned to give up the performance, returned to the stage.
At that time, Naruzawa Kaede, with his superhuman eyes, searched for light wherever it appeared, heading deep into the Hanasaki River forest.
Naruzawa Kaede saw Minato Yuuki. Shirogane Rinko had just fallen from a tree, her wrist bruised from the fall. At the same time, Kaname Rakuna fell down. Seeing Shirogane Rinko's scraped hand, she ran towards the school building without looking back.
By the time everyone else had gathered around, Yoro Nai had already run back with a first-aid kit.
But it's too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost.
Normally it would be fine, but today's performance is of Tokyo Metropolitan level...
Rinko Shirogane, who had injured her wrist, looked ashamed. Lead singer Yukina blamed herself, Saya Hikawa was speechless, and Ako stammered, not knowing what to say to smooth things over. Lisa Imagawa hurriedly bandaged Rinko Shirogane's wrist.
Naruzawa Kaede caught the stray cat that was jumping around. Shirogane Rinko had climbed the tree because it was the cat taking a nap there. She wanted Ryuna to apologize... even though she really wanted to say that she was just taking a nap.
But there are more important things at the moment.
Lisa Imagawa: "I knew it, I'll call the boss right now."
The owner's mother-in-law has watched them grow up, so it's normal for the band to be unable to perform due to unforeseen circumstances.
Unexpectedly, it was Rinko Shirogane, who was usually quiet, who spoke up at this moment. She said that she would perform despite being ill, and that she would only be able to play with her right hand.
Yuki Minato's insults were just nonsense.
"No matter what, we must treat the stage with the utmost care... I know Yukina said that. That's why!"
Rinko Shirogane gritted her teeth and began to untie the bandages: "I can't, because of me..."
"Don't pull that, my dear!" Imagawa Lisa lunged forward and grabbed her hand that was about to pull off the bandage.
"It's clearly my fault..." "It's all because of me..."
"Stop arguing!" Rinko Shirogane bit her lip. "I can still do it!"
"Everyone is working hard every day, and I will never let them down, absolutely!"
But her hand...
"Speaking of which, if you don't have strict requirements for whoever goes on stage..."
Toyokawa Shoko came out.
“Let me do it,” she said softly. “I’m fairly good with keyboards. I’ll wear a mask and act as a stand-in.”
[...They're just a group of naive students...but I just don't want their performance to stop.]
Honestly... why do I have to witness such a united scene now?
Mingze Feng held the cat down with one hand. When he saw Xiangzi looking over, he nodded to him and made a thumbs-up gesture.
With the help of others, Toyokawa Shoko managed to squeeze into the team. Then, she won everyone over with her skills.
Naruzawa Kaede mainly accompanied Shirogane Rinko to her family's private hospital. Afterwards, they rode in the Shirogane family's car to the martial arts arena.
Naruzawa Kaede gave Yoru Nai a severe scolding, then handed her over to her grandmother, who was currently a guest at the Bushido Dojo headquarters.
