But fortunately, after the debut of "Fireworks", "Fireworks" received very good reviews.

Whether it was praise for Mr. Aoki's composition and piano skills, praise for the band members' playing skills, or praise for his own singing...

It’s great that the hard work finally paid off.

With this thought in mind, I watched the entire show "Fireworks".

Until the very end, the music of "Light the Fireworks" sounded in the cinema.

To be honest, when I heard the music I played appear on the big screen for the first time, I felt a lot of inexplicable emotions in my heart.

It’s great to get to know everyone in the band, and it’s great to play music with everyone in the band.

as well as--

The song "Light Up Fireworks" is indeed worthy of being loved by the public and is indeed enough to prove the level of the band.

Now, the dust has settled.

Whether it was being taken care of by Senior Aoki, or the other party taking time out to tutor me, teaching me guitar and singing.

Or how she took me to the hospital after I had a fever and stayed by my bedside until 11 o'clock, and how she confronted my mother without telling me about my grievances...

Now that the dust has settled, Kita Ikuyo knows that she wants to say something to Aoki Suke.

such as--

Let me repeat seriously that "thank you" I said in the library on September 8th without giving a reason.

......

......

After Hong Xia beside him spoke, Xiduo hesitated for a moment, then spoke decisively.

"Um...Nijiya-senpai, Liang-senpai, Pochi-chan, you guys go ahead. I'll stay here and wait for Aoki-senpai. It'll be more convenient if anything happens."

Hongxia hesitated for a moment, but soon nodded and said "hmm".

Pochi-chan and Ryo had no objections and nodded as well.

......

Aoki couldn't find his cell phone in his original seat.

Feeling a little distressed, after some consideration, he decided to go to the front desk of the cinema to ask the receptionist.

Just as expected, the phone was indeed found by the cleaning staff and handed over to the front desk.

After proving his identity with the front desk and confirming that the phone was his, Aoki Suke was able to retrieve the phone safely.

It took a little longer, but not too long.

I got my phone and left the cinema again.

Then, Aokisuke noticed Kita waiting at the door at first sight.

They were not too far away, but the girl at the door was probably in a daze and did not notice Aoki Jie walking out of the cinema.

As agreed, Hongxia, Liang, and Pochi probably went to the barbecue restaurant first, but for some reason, Kita was still waiting here for him.

Walk towards the other person.

A bit puzzled, so when he walked to Kita, Aokisuke was a little puzzled,

"Didn't you just go ahead? Why did you stay here and wait?"

The sound brought Kita's dazed attention back to where the sound came from and his eyes met Aoki's.

"Ah... Aoki-senpai."

She opened her mouth, paused for a moment, and then the girl quickly responded.

"It's always better to travel with two people than alone. It doesn't matter if we wait a while."

The barbecue restaurant they had agreed to meet at wasn't too far away, and it would only take about ten minutes to walk there. There was really no problem with Kita staying and waiting for him for a while.

So the issue was not mentioned again.

It was past eight o'clock and the sky had completely darkened, but the colorful neon lights on the street still illuminated the entire road.

Having already memorized the exact location, the two of them walked towards the barbecue restaurant they had agreed to meet.

With plenty of time, Aokisuke could slow down his pace and walk at a leisurely pace, while Kita followed him at a fast pace.

After the conversation after the meeting, the two did not say anything else immediately.

Kita wanted to say something, but didn't know how to start, so he hesitated slightly.

And Aokisuke——

Perhaps he felt that it was a bit boring to just rush on the road like this, so after walking a few steps, he spoke to Kita beside him.

"After watching it, what do you think of 'Fireworks'?"

Kita seemed to be thinking about something. After hearing Aokisuke speak, he was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he responded, "I don't think I understand... The story is a bit strange, not what I imagined."

"Perhaps it's due to a tight production schedule, or perhaps insufficient funding? The quality of the film really doesn't live up to the hype."

After answering the question and then smiling, Aokisuke continued speaking.

"But the ending theme song is very nice."

"After all, it was composed by Aoki-senpai."

Aokijie shook his head and refuted,

"I should say - it was a good ending for the band. Everyone had their moments to shine."

But after he finished speaking, he quickly changed his speech and went straight to another topic.

Shifting his gaze to an ice cream shop on the street, Aoki said,

"Let's not talk about that...Would you like a smoothie or ice cream? With the arrival of autumn, the weather for ice cream is becoming less and less."

Kita hesitated for a moment, followed Aokisuke's gaze, took a look, and then nodded.

The weather is indeed starting to get colder. Ten days ago, Aokisuke could still wear short sleeves at this time in the evening, but now he can already feel a slight chill.

The autumn wind swept across the asphalt road, and the yellowing leaves on the street were rustling.

We went to the ice cream shop and bought two ice creams. Aokisuke ordered a blue Hawaiian flavored smoothie, and Kita ordered a strawberry flavored ice cream.

After leaving the store, continue walking towards the barbecue restaurant.

The two were silent for a while, and Aokisuke spoke again: "But speaking of which, I've always wanted to say this during ensemble practice but never found the chance... Kita, you're really talented in singing, much better than me."

"It's because Senior Aoki has been teaching me so patiently that I've made such rapid progress." Kita shook his head.

Aoki replied, "No, I only teach vocal techniques and things like that."

The girl looked at Aokisuke, paused for a moment, and then retorted,

"But if it weren't for Aoki-senpai telling me this, I wouldn't be able to reach the level I am now."

"As for singing skills—the techniques and singing methods I told you can actually be found online..."

Put the plastic spoon of smoothie into your mouth. Because of the whiskey base, the smoothie has a slightly undetectable spicy taste in addition to the citric acid and sweetness of various fruits.

However, the mixture of these flavors has a unique flavor.

After thinking about random things, Aokijie spoke with a spoon in his mouth and responded to Kita.

But before he could say anything else, the girl next to him suddenly interrupted him.

Kita Ikuyo paused for a moment.

Looking at Aoki Jie, the girl opened her mouth as if to continue to refute, however, the content of her words was not a response to the previous sentence.

"Thank you, Aoki-senpai."

His tone was serious, just as serious as when he had just made the rebuttal.

Aoki Jie was a little confused.

He also stopped and looked back at the girl who had stopped behind him earlier.

The girl is very cute, with hair slightly blown by the wind, eyes reflecting neon light, and an extremely delicate face.

Their eyes met.

"Thank you?" Aokisuke said.

"Well, thank you." Xiduo took a deep breath and then responded.

"You always take the time to teach me guitar and singing. Thank you."

Blinking, Aoki was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"You don't need to thank me for something like this. In the end, it was all for the band to finish off with a perfect performance of 'Fireworks'."

Kita shook his head and continued, "You've been taking time out in the mornings to tutor me throughout the summer. Thank you."

"It's not a big deal. Hey Kita, you're taking it too seriously."

"And when I had a fever before, Senior Aoki carried me on his back and took me to the hospital, and stayed with me until eleven o'clock at night... Thank you." The girl didn't care and continued speaking.

Aoki Jie didn't know how to respond.

With a slightly distressed look on his face, he took a spoonful of smoothie and replied,

"These are things I can help with easily. Even if I'm saying thank you, there's no need to be so serious. And why are you suddenly like this..."

But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Kita again.

"You believed in me, chose me as the lead singer, told me it was okay when I wasn't confident, and Aoki-senpai... because you were worried about my condition, because I complained when I shouldn't have, you kept it from me, and convinced my mother..."

"Thank you."

The action of scooping the smoothie in his hand paused, and Aokisuke was slightly stunned.

With a surprised expression on his face, he looked at the girl opposite him and spoke with a slightly hesitant tone,

"Auntie...did she tell you about this?"

"I heard it on the stairs that day," Kita responded.

"Did you hear everything?"

"Tell my mother your own thoughts, refute her ideas, tell her about the calluses on my fingertips and my hoarse voice, and offer to tutor me."

"..."

Aoki Jie was silent for a moment.

I thought that as long as Kita's mother kept it a secret, this matter would just pass, but who would have thought that it would develop into this situation...

Now...how to respond?

The autumn wind swept across the asphalt road and blew on Aoki Jie before completely dissipating.

Aokisuke looked at Kita. In the girl's eyes, besides the neon lights reflected in them, there was also his own slightly blurred figure.

The light red hair was blown by the wind.

Aoki Jie, who had not been serious from the beginning, hesitated for a moment, considered it for a moment, took a deep breath, and responded out loud.

There was also a hint of seriousness in the voice.

"Because only you, Kita, can perfectly perform the music of 'Fireworks'."

"Encouragement and comfort are what we should do."

"As for hiding it from you... to convince Auntie..."

"I have a personality problem. When I'm impulsive, I make decisions that could lead to bad consequences."

“Before I make a choice, before I take action, my decision may not be correct.”

"Even if we put all that aside and just say the final result was actually pretty good—"

"I can pretend I didn't see it and not do these things, but I can't ignore your words 'I know I shouldn't feel wronged, but I still feel a little wronged', and I can't ignore your slightly red eyes at that time. And, Kita——"

"Exchanging thanks between friends all the time can actually alienate friends."

"..."

Kita opened his mouth and wanted to respond, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
