I just want a single ending

Shiina Riki no longer cared about that.

Even though I know there's a chance of rejection, it's better than just staying here and doing nothing.

"I'll go too."

Nagasaki Suyo followed suit and stood up.

"Wait, wait..."

Seeing that they were all about to leave, Chihaya Aine suddenly became a little panicked.

It's really hard to let go of the fact that the band that was within our reach ended just like that.

Kamikawa Su immediately said, "Actually, I have another idea. Would you like to listen to it before going?"

"Didn't you just say there was no other way?"

Shiina Riki stopped, and Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo also looked at him at the same time.

"When I say there's no way, I mean fulfilling Aine's demanding request. However, there are still ways to compromise, but they may not be successful."

Kamikawa Suku began to explain.

"Just invite the lights over directly. Take this opportunity to have a good discussion about crychic."

"She always thought that crychic's disbandment was her fault, but judging by what Shiina said, the disbandment had little to do with her."

"Plus, she once had the idea of ​​forming a band. I believe that as long as you have a good chat, you should be able to explain it clearly."

"But I can't guarantee whether she's still willing to continue forming a band with you guys."

"If she's willing to form a band without such a heavy lifetime requirement, then Aine can also join smoothly."

"I think it's okay."

Chihaya Aine was the first to agree.

If she could give up such a heavy request, everything would be fine.

But if you can't give up, then there's nothing you can do.

Shiina Riki nodded: "Okay."

Compared to going to her directly, this method sounds much more reliable.

"Then do it."

After Nagasaki Suyo sat down, she glanced at Chihaya Aine and Kamikawa Su, and started playing with her fingers out of habit.

If Takamatsu Deng could really resolve that knot in his heart and was willing to continue forming a band, then there would be no need for the two of them at all.

There is no place for them in crychic.

It would be better to let Wakaba Mutsu play the guitar, and of course I will continue to be in charge of the operations.

As for whether the band can become popular, that’s not important.

As long as everyone is happy together, that's enough.

"Who of you will send her a message?"

As Kamikawa Supo said this, he accidentally met the eyes of Nagasaki Suyo.

how to say?

He always felt that her seemingly friendly smiles were fake.

There is a subtle sense of dissonance.

"Let me do it."

Shiina Riki took out his cell phone without hesitation.

After a while, she put away her phone.

"Deng said she'll be here in a while."

"In that case, I'll order first." Nagasaki Suyo didn't mind waiting a little longer. "It's still the same as usual."

"Well, I'll go take care of the guests first. We'll talk when the lights come on."

Shiina Riki left here temporarily.

···

Taking her eyes off Shiina Riki, Nagasaki Suyo looked at Kamikawa Susumu and Chihaya Aine who were sitting on both sides.

"Speaking of which, why does Kamikawa-san want to invite Deng-chan to join your band so badly? Is it because of Chihaya-san?"

"Eh? Is that so?"

Hearing this, Chihaya Aine looked at Kamikawa Supo.

Although he had previously explained that it was because Takamatsu Deng was his friend, he wanted to help her resolve her emotional issues, so he decided to invite her to join the band.

This explanation is very strange no matter how you think about it, and it doesn't make sense at all.

The relationship between the two of them was definitely not that good.

But if he was doing it for himself, then everything would make sense.

The band I formed is still lacking a drummer and bassist, as well as a lyricist and composer.

Then, the reason why he wanted to invite Takamatsu Teru to join the band was because he knew that as long as she joined, all these problems would be solved.

As for his statement that Nagasaki Suyo was not invited by him, the problem is that the two of them obviously knew each other.

"That's part of the reason."

After all, as long as Takamatsu Touma joins the band, drummer Tatsuki Shiina will also join.

That way, the only thing missing is a bass.

Chihaya Aine was not surprised by his answer.

Because I had already guessed it just now.

All I can say is that everything was as expected.

"By the way, I have another question for you. Are you really not going to learn to play the bass you bought the other day?" Chihaya Aine suddenly thought of something. "Are you planning to learn to play the bass secretly without telling me, and then surprise me when you can't find a bassist?"

【admit】

【hide】

"……Um."

Kamikawa Su was stunned for a moment, then chose to admit it.

He never expected that his thoughts would be guessed.

And since she asked so directly, there was no point in continuing to hide it.

He dares to do it and takes responsibility for it, and admits it when he is discovered.

Just like the day he met Takamatsu Touma at the planetarium.

[Strength plus five]

Chapter 20 He is really doing it for me

"I knew it."

Chihaya Aine smiled smugly.

She has been following his Instagram account. The content he posted recently was still the same review as usual, and he didn't reveal any intention of selling the bass.

At first she thought he was planning to sell it after some time.

But with Nagasaki Suyo's words, "Is it for Chihaya-san?", she instantly understood everything.

Since he could deceive Kita Ikuyo when he bought the bass, why couldn't he deceive himself when he wanted to learn to play the bass?

Just now she thought carefully about the conversation she had with him that day, and then she found something wrong.

His answer at that time was still evasive. He did not give a direct answer and avoided the issue by diverting the focus.

Especially when Yamada Ryo said he would teach him bass for 10,000 yen an hour, he was obviously tempted.

If he really didn't plan to learn like he said, then why was he interested in learning bass?

It's easy to conclude that he bought the bass for himself and planned to learn it.

No, if that's really the case, then he didn't deceive Kita Ikuyo, he only deceived himself.

But it doesn't matter, she doesn't mind such things.

After all, Kamikawa Suku was doing it for himself.

As for his plan to invite Takamatsu Deng to join the band, I agreed reluctantly.

Who told him to do it for himself?

Really, can't you just say it directly?

It made me hesitate for so long.

"..."

Kamikawa Supo, who was facing Chihaya Aine, was not in such a good mood.

I wanted to brush up on my knowledge of stars, so I went to the planetarium and met Takamatsu Deng. Then I had to admit that I don’t like stars.

I was planning to learn bass secretly, but I didn't do anything today. Suddenly, Chihaya Aine saw through it, so I had no choice but to admit it.

What exactly is going on?

They can all read minds, right? They know what I want to do?

"It seems like you two have a good relationship."

Nagasaki Suyo narrowed her eyes. Based on their reactions just now, she could probably guess something.

"It's okay, we are in the same band."

Chihaya Aine secretly glanced at Kamikawa Supe before speaking casually.

Since he doesn't want to say it, there's no need to expose it.

"That's it."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't ask any further questions.

······

After a while, Gao Songdeng came here.

"This way."

Chihaya Aine extended her hand and greeted warmly.

Looking at Takamatsu Deng who was sitting over there, Shiina Riki asked impatiently.

"What can I do for you?"

“Matcha parfait.”

"Ok."

After handing the order to others, Shiina Riki hurried over.

"Okay, let's have a good chat."

Kamikawa Suzu and Chihaya Aine consciously gave up their seats and handed the scene over to them who were once members of crychic.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Gao Songdeng was a little confused.

She was just called here and had no idea what was going on.

"Crychic things." Nagasaki Suyo's voice was extremely sweet.
