I just want a single ending

So that's where you were waiting.

"But, is it really okay for me to just go there like this? It would be bad if your family misunderstood." Shangchuan Su was a little hesitant.

"It's okay, I'm usually home alone."

Nagasaki Suyo also took this into consideration.

Ever since her parents divorced when she was a child, her mother has been busy with work and only comes home occasionally.

Don't worry about that.

"Same as me." Kamikawa Suku agreed with a smile.

"Really? It seems your parents are also very busy at work."

Nagasaki Suyo found some resonance with him.

They live in the same apartment and are in the same band, but they both live alone.

What a coincidence.

Kamikawa Suzu calmly denied it, "No, my parents are both dead."

"…I'm sorry for touching upon your sorrow."

Nagasaki Suyo was silent for two seconds, then quickly apologized to him.

This has absolutely no resonance.

Although my mother often doesn't come home, at least she is still alive and I can feel some family company.

Compared to him, I am already very happy.

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Shangchuan Su said nonchalantly, "Otherwise I wouldn't say such a thing so easily."

"Long ago..."

Nagasaki Suyo captured the key words.

It's easy to understand, because his parents died very early.

I feel more and more that he is more pitiful than myself.

"Let me be clear first. I'm not saying this to gain your sympathy. I just said it casually. Don't take it too seriously."

Seeing her reaction, Kamikawa Su emphasized it a little more.

"Ah."

Nagasaki Suyo suddenly hesitated.

She was a little unsure whether she should make use of Kamikawa Suku.

Even though he said he didn't need sympathy, I still felt pity for him in my heart.

But before she could make a decision, the elevator reached the top floor.

···

"Excuse me, is black tea okay?"

After bringing him into her home, Nagasaki Suyo asked Kamikawa Su who was sitting on the sofa.

"can."

Kamikawa Su nodded.

When she turned and walked into the kitchen, he took a quick look around her house out of boredom.

how to say?

It was similar to his own home, both were quite deserted, so much so that it gave him a strange sense of familiarity.

Without making him wait too long, Nagasaki Suyo quickly walked out of the kitchen and placed a cup of steaming hot black tea in front of him.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

As she spoke, Nagasaki Suyo sat down opposite him.

"Speaking of which, should we continue the previous topic?" Kamikawa Suku had not forgotten what she had just said.

"No, I want to talk to you about the band."

Nagasaki Suyo decided to continue with her plan.

But, there needs to be a slight change.

That is, after getting Shoko Toyokawa into the band, they will not kick out those people who are not part of crychic from the band.

The reason is simple, she saw herself in Kamikawa Suku.

The reason why Nagasaki Suyo cares so much about crychic is that she puts all the love and care she lacks on crychic and regards it as her home.

So, will Kamikawa Saku, whose parents died early, also place his love on this newly formed band?

Considering this, she changed her mind.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Kamikawa Su sat up straight, realizing that they were about to get down to business.

Nagasaki Suyo habitually played with her fingers: "What do you think of our band's performance of "Spring Shadow"?"

"Not bad."

Kamikawa Su, who has little ability to appreciate music, gave the most conservative answer.

Nagasaki Suyo then asked, "Which one is better than crychic's performance of 'Kasuga Shadow'?"

"Everyone has his own merits."

Kamikawa Suku maintained a neutral attitude.

"I remember you were a fan of crychic, right?"

His answer was a little unexpected to Nagasaki Suyo.

Logically speaking, shouldn't fans favor the side they like without reason?

"Yes."

As mentioned before, he has always been a fan of crychic.

"I thought you would think crychic's is better?" Nagasaki Suyo was a little disappointed.

"But I'm in charge of the operation of our band now." Kamikawa Su still has a certain professionalism. "I can't say anything bad about our band."

"However, it's true that each has its own merits."

Nagasaki Suyo understood what he meant and naturally changed the subject again.

"I replaced the keyboard with another guitar, and the performance was indeed not bad, but it was a pity that it was still a little off."

"Why do you say that?"

Kamikawa Su, who had just learned bass for a few days, didn't quite understand this.

"Because the composer of 'Kasuga Shadow' is a keyboardist, and Crychic doesn't have two guitarists, this song was originally composed with keyboards in mind," Nagasaki explained seriously. "Even after the rework, with two guitarists, I still don't think it's good enough."

In her opinion, the best version of "Spring Shadow" will always be the one in her memory.

"It seems so."

Kamikawa Su was successfully persuaded by her.

"So, I think it would be better for our band to hire another keyboard player?"

At this point, Nagasaki Suyo finally revealed her true purpose.

Chapter 37: A Plan to Kill Two Birds at Once

"Keyboard player?"

Shangchuan Su was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, what do you think?" Nagasaki Suyo nodded.

【agree】

【reject】

"I don't think it's necessary. Just for the song 'Spring Shadow', there's no need to hire another keyboard player, right?"

He admitted that the "Spring Shadow" played by their current band might not be as good as crychic's version, but it was not that bad either.

But at this point, Nagasaki Motoyo wants me to find a keyboard player, which is really suspicious.

As expected, she was not considering the band at all, but had her own selfish motives.

Well, refuse to try it first.

[Strength plus five]

"I know it's a bit much to do this just for one song, but I think it's necessary to get another keyboard player into the band."

Nagasaki Suyo naturally knew that it would be impossible to convince the other party so easily, so she had already prepared another excuse.

"Can you tell me about it?"

"of course."

Nagasaki Suyo paused, then continued, "First of all, with a keyboard player, the song 'Kasuga Shadow' will be even more perfect."

"Secondly, it will allow our band to have more styles. Although a keyboard player is not essential in a band, it is still an important position."

"Finally, the keyboard player can help with the composition, since we don't have anyone in the band who can write music."

"I agree with the first two points, but Shiina-san can compose music, and why do you assume the newly hired keyboard player can compose music?"

Kamikawa Suku easily found a rebuttal.

"Huh? Riki-chan can compose music?"

Nagasaki Suyo was shocked, this was information she didn't know.

"You do not know?"

Kamikawa Suku also reacted.

"I don't know. At least when she was in crychic, she didn't know how to compose music." Nagasaki Suyo remembered it clearly.

"I see."

Kamikawa Su remembers that when inviting Takamatsu Teru to join the band, Shiina Riki said, "I will compose the lyrics for Teru."

Nagasaki Motoyo had not arrived at that time and arrived a little later, so it is possible that she did not hear it.

Plus, they never talked about composing again afterwards, so it was normal that she didn't know this fact.

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo was a little flustered at this time.

The emergence of this unknown information directly disrupted her plans.

She originally wanted to recruit Toyokawa Shoko into the band by helping the band find a composer, but Shiina Riki suddenly learned how to compose, so the excuse she originally wanted to use was no longer valid.

"There's another question you haven't answered yet. Why do you assume the new keyboard player can compose?"

Kamikawa Su's eyes flickered as he looked directly at Nagasaki Suyo who was sitting opposite him.

"Have you found a suitable keyboard player?"

"It hasn't gotten to that stage yet. I just thought a keyboard player was pretty good, so I thought it would be a good idea to have her join."

Nagasaki Suyo didn't expect him to be so perceptive, or maybe she was too obvious.

Kamikawa Suzu further confirmed: "Is the person you are talking about Crychic's keyboard player Toyokawa Shoko?"
