Can I draw Eromanga forever?

The memories of the dead suddenly began to attack her!

The girl recalled the night when Lin You officially joined the band.

STARRY after closing.

The prosperity has faded and the atmosphere is deserted.

Is it a bit like the song "Spring Shadow" that Lin You played during the day?

At the party, Hong Xia raised her glass and said in a sweet voice:

"Yuu, let me ask you again, would you like to form a band with me?"

"So...are you willing to form a band with me for life?"

"Eh?"

Perhaps it was because she was being so serious that Lin You was getting nervous too? Hong Xia thought to herself. She took another deep breath and exhaled, then faced Lin You head-on.

"Life is so long, and no one can predict what will happen in the future, right? Haha... But! For now, my answer is OK!"

The girl, who was gentle and even great in character, smiled and nodded, agreeing.

--but.

Hongxia now always feels a little regretful for saying that at that time.

She raised her eyes and looked at the young man in front of her. He said seriously:

"We agreed to form a band for life, and it means life. One day, one minute, one second less, it's not life!"

“Ah… yes, yes…”

Hong Xia replied a little weakly.

Her bright and lovely red eyes drooped, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the blue-haired girl beside her inexplicably excited, clapping her hands vigorously twice.

Liang, much more supportive than before!

It seems like my band is full of problem members?

Hongxia thought with a little sadness... However, the junior brought by Liang seemed very reliable!

"Ryo, where's Kita-chan? You can't come to this ensemble practice?"

"It seems so." Yamada Ryo replied in a faint voice.

"like?"

"Suddenly I can't get in touch..."

Yamada Ryo looked as if he was thinking.

In this regard.

Lin You thought carefully and then made a guess -

"Kita-san, he's not dead, is he?"

"Don't talk about people's death without your permission!" Hong Xia frowned.

"It's very likely..." Liang said with an expression of deep agreement.

"Our guitarist, Namo——"

She clasped her hands together and prayed devoutly.

Such a serious look made Hong Xia not know what to say for a moment, and then she said to herself:

"If Kita dies suddenly, I shouldn't have to pay the money back, right?"

Hong Xia: “…”

Neon is so safe, only an unreliable creature like Liang could die suddenly!

Unable to find Lin You to borrow money at the end of the month, Hong Xia had to eat grass to survive. She always felt inexplicably worried. In addition, she was not as weak and cute as Zhenbai, who looked like a little animal. Just sitting there, it felt like someone would want to feed her.

——Liang will only scare people away.

Hong Xia had a bitter face, her hands clasped around her chest, and a red silk scarf tied around her slender, white wrists, making her skin look even whiter than jade.

The girl frowned slightly and coughed in a serious manner.

"Ahem! Let's get down to business!"

Liang was still immersed in the joy of not having to pay back the money, his eyebrows gleaming with joy. Lin You sat up straight, assuming an attitude as if facing her mother, her eyes filled with respect and love.

"Hongxia, please speak."

"...You don't have to say 'please', but it is indeed a very important matter! Ahem, let me tell you, don't get excited, yesterday, sister agreed to our first live performance!" Hong Xia clapped her hands and laughed.

Liang: “Oh…”

Lin You nodded, his gaze fixed on Mashiro beside him. The three people who had finished their band performance sat at the small round table, along with Mashiro, who was observing silently with her eyes wide open.

"As for the material for the comics, Ayano said we could take it from real life. Well, it went smoothly..." Mashiro said lightly.

Lin You stroked the girl's blonde hair and said, "Really? It went smoothly."

"Yeah." Mashiro nodded lightly.

"——Hey, why is the reaction so calm this time?"

Hong Xia said depressedly.

"With You, there will definitely be no problem..." Liang said as a matter of course.

Lin You nodded: "Sister Xingge is always so arrogant, I knew she would agree."

"That's right..."

Hong Xia said slowly.

She shook her head, her shiny ponytail swaying, and continued:

"Then let's discuss the arrangements for our first live performance. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"..."

"..."

"No idea?"

"Baumkuchen." Mashiro raised his hand.

"Live isn't a convenience store, Mashiro. You're just hungry, right?"

Lin You said, taking out the Baumkuchen from his backpack with skillful movements, tearing open the packaging, and then peeling the cake, feeding it to Mashiro layer by layer like an onion.

“Ah…mm…”

Mashiro ate the cake like a kitten, her body and face remaining motionless, only her moist and tender red lips moving slightly. Occasionally, she would use her fingertips to pick up the crumbs at the corner of her lips and lick them.

The pet girl has such a pet-like temperament.

Her hair shone with a faint golden glow in the underground light. Compared to Hong Xia's hair color, it had a light and transparent feeling. When intertwined with her fair skin, it had a kind of snowy charm. Beautiful and illusory.

just.

As she took small bites of the annual ring cake that Lin You fed to her, a strand of hair floated into her lips and was held by her lips. It was pulled in Zhenbai's mouth until Hongxia couldn't help but reach out and hooked out a strand of slightly wet golden hair.

This is so natural... Hong Xia thought, it seems that I can't help but want to take care of her? No, no, now we have to do something important, end the band!

"Well, if you don't have any ideas, let me think about it. Sister gave us a short period of time in between... should it be enough to play two songs, or three?"

"What song should I choose?"

"You~~ You obviously have experience with live broadcasts of songs, could you give me some advice~?"

Hong Xia looked at Lin You with expectant red eyes.

"me……"

Lin You pondered for a moment.

Although I talk freely during live broadcasts online, even draw in books and sing songs, my only offline experience is that impromptu ensemble in Kawasaki.

At that time, I was completely overwhelmed by Rencai's momentum.

Sister Xiaohai is a natural rock singer. She starts singing as soon as she opens her mouth and controls the atmosphere and rhythm of the whole venue, rocking non-stop!

Lin You thought to himself.

As for me, it was just a matter of interest. The reason for ending the band was the same, not only because Nina's band had a keyboardist, but also because of the sense of security that came with ending the band.

There is no gravity and no sense of reality.

Lonely Rock is neither lonely nor rock.

"Let me think, what should we play, 'Spring Shadow'?"

"what……?"

"Just kidding, how about we play the song that ended our band, 'Theory of Heart'?"

"That's Yuu's song!"

Hong Xia corrected with a frown.

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"Since Yuu is the one who ended the band for us, his song is the one that ended the band for us!"

"This..." Hong Xia hesitated slightly.

"We should also get a share of the revenue from You's song copyrights..." Liang's eyes lit up.

"Hey!"

Hong Xia puffed up her cheeks angrily, punched Liang with her pink fist, and acted angry, looking like a stern loli mother.

Lin You smiled slightly.

"It doesn't matter to me. Anyway, I'll write more songs in the future, including songs about us ending the band... Besides, Ryo will write songs too."

"Ryou isn't as good at writing songs as You!"

Hong Xia scolded him without any hesitation.

Liang covered his heart, pretending to be deeply shocked, and his upper body fluttered down on the table. He died on the spot, and then was poked in the head by Mashiro's fingertips, but he didn't respond.

"……Well?"

Mashiro tilted her head slightly, puzzled.

Hong Xia warned carefully, "Mashiro, don't pay any attention to this girl. She's definitely got bad intentions! She might even be thinking of borrowing money from you! Or even trying to get Yuu's songs for free! It's... so shameless!"

"Is that right?"

Mashiro nodded slowly, indicating that he understood.

Hong Xia continued, "You too! Stop lending her money all the time! You're almost turning her into a useless person!"

Liang's "corpse" lay there, twitching slightly as if it had been shot.

“…No, no! Without Yuu’s money, Watashi…”

The corpse is talking.

Lin You smiled, "I'll try not to borrow... Let's get back to the point. What should we play to end the band's first live? We have a lot of songs we can use. I forgot to mention that in addition to the songs signed by "Kasugano Yuu", there are also songs signed by "Hatsune Miku", all of which were written by me."

"Huh? That Hatsune Miku... looks like this! So amazing...!"

"A lot of money..."

The reactions of the two girls in the band were very different.

Hong Xia's petite and cute cheeks were flushed, and the girl's lips were slightly open, unable to hide her shock. After she came to her senses, she glared at Liang fiercely.

Liang raised his hands in surrender, his shoulders hunched weakly.

Lin You said, "However, we should try not to choose songs that Kasugano Yuu has sung live at first. Kasugano Yuu basically sings sad songs, so what should we choose? Something exciting?"

Lin You doesn't want to reveal his identity for the time being.

It's not because they're afraid of social demise or opening a box, but because they don't want the popularity and attention from "Kasugano Yuu" to suddenly flood into the band and end it, forcing things to grow too fast.

They need time and space to grow.
