How can my simulation be a real love?

Perhaps CRYCHIC has a chance to be revived.

"Eh! Sou-chan was a bassist before! Our band is just missing a bassist!"

Upon hearing Su Shi introduce herself as a bassist, Chihaya Aine immediately showed a delighted expression. Because they had chatted for a while and become familiar with each other, she had already begun to call Su Shi by her first name affectionately.

Nagasaki Motoyo got along better with her than Shiina Tatsuki, and he was also one of the few bassists in the band!

If we bring her in too, then our band will be basically complete!

It's decided. I'll go upstairs later and discuss with Ming about bringing Su Shi in!

With a joyful heart, Aine had unknowingly arrived at the door of RiNG, and her conversation with Nagasaki Motoyo made her quite happy.

Although the other person's voice sounded a little strange to her, it was generally harmless.

"Lixi~ We're here!"

"I can't stand it, there's no need to call me from so far away."

Seeing that the somewhat silly pink-haired girl in the distance was shouting in their direction before even going upstairs, Shiina Ritsuki felt extremely embarrassed.

She was about to complain when she immediately saw Nagasaki Motoyo standing beside her with a big smile, waving at her.

Su Shi?

When did it come?

Shiina Tatsuki frowned slightly, feeling inexplicably that something was off.

Since CRYCHIC, she has not been very good at dealing with Nagasaki Motoyo. Occasionally, Motoyo would come to RiNG to talk to her about the past, always subtly probing whether she wanted to form a band again.

However, the lights had already lost contact, so Shiina Tatsuki had no such idea at all.

Unexpectedly, she ran into Deng and the others first this time.

"We're too late."

"Sorry, sorry~ I chatted with Su Shi-chan for a while on the way, so I was a little delayed."

Seeing Shiina Tatsuki with his arms crossed and a sour face, Chihaya Aine knew she was in the wrong and apologized with a smile.

After learning that Nagasaki Motoyo was a bassist, Chihaya Aine couldn't contain her excitement and chatted with Motoyo about band topics all the way there, and before she knew it, they were quite late.

However, it was only at this moment that Chihaya Aine suddenly noticed something.

There was not only Li Xi here, but also another girl dressed in black punk clothing.

She has medium-length black hair, a somewhat androgynous and handsome face, and her dashing side-swept bangs and light green eyes give her a powerful look reminiscent of a rock band.

His quiet and serene demeanor from the very beginning instilled a sense of awe in others.

Chihaya Aine swallowed hard and cautiously asked, "And who is this?"

"She is Hachiman Kairin."

"As a mercenary bassist, I often hang out in various bands. She's in the same class as me and we're quite familiar with each other. Since we don't have a bassist yet, I brought her over."

Shiina Tatsuki remained with his arms crossed, responding in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Hello."

Although her expression didn't change, Hachiman Kairin still politely greeted the group.

She received a box of chocolate milk as payment from Shiina Riki, and came over as the bassist to help everyone practice and check their skill levels.

As for Nagasaki Motoyo, who was standing at the back, she was completely dumbfounded at this moment.

Huh? They already have a bassist?

what about me?

Chapter Twenty-Four: Could it be—

Just moments ago, Nagasaki Motoyo had a smug smile on her face, as if she had everything under control. But after seeing that Shiina Tatsuki had brought a bassist, she froze on the spot.

Even her composed smile froze completely.

Her original plan to join the band first and then gradually implement it was also disrupted at this moment.

"Hey! But I was just about to..."

Chihaya Aine was also a little confused, and she subconsciously glanced at Suze beside her.

She had originally planned to come over and discuss with everyone whether or not to invite Su Shi to join the band, but Shiina Ritsuki suddenly brought over a bassist she didn't recognize.

The two sides coincidentally bumped into each other.

Oh no, what do we do now?

At this moment, the stinky-faced hair's forehead was covered in fine sweat, and he began to rack his brains to think of how to deal with it.

A bassist isn't a guitarist; one is enough!

She had never been so eager for Kazami Mei to come over, but she herself had no idea what to do!

Hachiman Kairin calmly observed Aine's somewhat flustered appearance, then noticed Nagasaki Motoyo's visibly stiff expression. Being adept at reading people, she immediately understood the situation and slowly began to explain—

"I was just invited by Lixi to come here temporarily as a practice partner. I also have a job to perform with other bands later."

"So that's how it is..."

Seeing the other person's calm and unchanging face, Chihaya Aine finally felt relieved.

Sitting next to the pink-haired girl, Nagasaki Motoyo gradually regained her calm and gentle smile. She had indeed been startled, but it seemed that things were not as bad as she had thought.

Next, I can naturally join the band whenever someone invites me.

"Ok?"

Shiina Riki's gaze lingered between Aine, Akari, and Souse.

What about the keyboardist?

So far, only the three of them have been seen; the 'keyboardist' named Ming, whom Deng mentioned, has not been seen.

Everyone's here, but we still haven't seen a single person.

Could it be that he was late today or simply didn't come?

He didn't even show up for the band's first practice session, and because of the lamp, Riki's subjective impression of Kazami Mei worsened a bit, so he unconsciously started crossing his arms and putting on a sour face.

Because the lamp seemed to be staring at him with some concern, Li Xi temporarily put aside his complaints about the keyboardist and focused his attention on Nagasaki Motoyo, who had a kind smile on her face.

"Su Shi, why did you follow the lamp here?"

"I just happened to run into Akari-chan on the street, and I also heard from Aine-chan that Akari-chan was planning to form a new band, so I couldn't help but follow her~ I thought Tachibana-chan would definitely tell me!"

Nagasaki Motoyo skillfully ordered a Darjeeling tea from the shop assistant while casually speaking with a natural smile.

She wasn't lying, because she really did run into Takamatsu Akari by chance on the street.

“I’m really happy to see that Deng Jiang is willing to rebuild the band. It’s amazing that you can move on from the past.”

Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes held envy, and her gentle smile concealed a hint of barely perceptible loneliness.

Why has even the deeply wounded Lantern Girl managed to move on from the past? CRYCHIC is a bond that everyone can't forget...

However, this is an opportunity we cannot give up.

"Hey, can I join the band too? I want to start over with everyone!"

"Okay?"

She looked at Lixi and Deng with a pleading gaze.

Shiina Tatsuki crossed her arms over her chest, unsure how to respond to Nagasaki Motoyo, because in her eyes, the band's core member should be Touka right now.

Gao Songdeng pursed her lips and gently pressed her left hand against her chest, her eyes seemingly filled with confusion.

Reforming the band was something that had been decided long ago.

This time, Ming will stand behind him to support him, just like the keyboardist supporting the lead singer on stage. Even though he cannot become a human, he can respond in such a 'natural' way!

The mist that had obscured her eyes dissipated, leaving only a resolute determination in her eyes that burned like fire.

"I want to... form a band with Suze-chan again, and with everyone again."

"This time, we'll never be apart."

2018-03-27

Her words weren't forceful or convincing, but even in her soft voice, they carried a deep sense of determination and resolve.

Influenced by Akari Takamatsu, Shiina Tatsuki couldn't maintain her indifferent expression anymore. She quickly moved closer to Akari, staring intently at her face with a very determined look, and said, "I will never be separated from Akari!"

A genuine joy also appeared on Nagasaki Motoyo's face; she had been looking forward to this day for a very, very long time.

forever!?

Chihaya Aine looked around and noticed that Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been talking to her, was now focused on Akari and Riki, and even Riki's attention was completely drawn to Akari.

Only Hachiman Kairin, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, stared at him with a look of great interest.

Why does she have this feeling that she doesn't fit in? (JPG)

Damn it, where is Kazami Naruto at a time like this?!

"Cough cough!"

Feeling neglected, the pink-haired guy coughed a few times, trying to attract everyone's attention.

"Anyway! Now that we've finally got all the members in the band, it's about time we decided on a band name, right?"

"That kind of thing can happen anytime, but the fact is that not everyone is even here yet!"

And one of the keyboardists is still missing!

Seeing that Chihaya Aine didn't seem to take the band seriously at all, Ritsuki couldn't help but retort.

Hearing Riki's words, Nagasaki Motoyo nodded in agreement, smiling as she stretched out her index finger to twirl and play with her soft, light brown, slightly wavy hair.

"Lixi-chan is right~ There are only three... four people here now."

"Having a lead singer, guitar, bass, and drums isn't quite enough for a decent band. I think we should at least add a keyboardist to make it more complete, right?"

Shiina Riki gave the smiling woman a strange look, then looked at the lamp with a questioning gaze.

Sitting to the side, Takamatsu just blinked blankly, completely failing to understand the meaning in Riki's eyes.

"Huh? But our band has a keyboardist!"

Chihaya Aine spoke in a matter-of-fact tone, and this casual remark completely stunned Nagasaki Motoyo.

She quickly looked in Shiina Riki's direction with a surprised expression, only to find that she simply nodded slightly with a cold face.

Shiina Tatsuki is a very reliable person in the band. If she nods, it means there is something to it, so this is not just some random nonsense from the pink-haired girl.

Nagasaki Motoyo had never felt her heart beating so fast, and even the smiling mask she usually wore to protect her appearance completely vanished at this moment.

She couldn't help but reach out and grab her collar tightly, her breathing becoming erratic.

She had previously wondered why Deng would suddenly be willing to form a band again, someone who could make the wounded Deng open his heart again...

There should only be one!

"It's difficult. Could it be that..."

Chapter Twenty-Five: I will protect the lamp!

"Ah, they've arrived as soon as I mentioned it!"

Chihaya Aine, with her sharp eyes, seemed to have spotted something and quickly waved in a certain direction downstairs.

Realizing what was happening, Nagasaki immediately jumped up from his seat, and under Shiina Tatsuki's astonished gaze, he took two steps to the white railing on the second floor. Before he could even see anything, the words he had been holding back for so long had already slipped out.

"sa...eh?"

The person who came up the stairs was just a black-haired boy with his hair tied in a short ponytail.

Wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and carrying a long white instrument bag, his slender and well-proportioned figure perfectly complemented his naturally handsome face, and his deep black eyes seemed to possess a kind of magic that could draw people in.
