A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

Chapter 96 Li Xirui reviews the Mygo simulator.

When I woke up in the morning, I found myself crying for some reason.

But maybe the reason is not unknown...

Aiyin sat quietly on her little bed, stretched out her fingers to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and wanted to take a deep breath to ease her mood, but she found that the depressed spirit filled her heart with turbid air.

That dream...

The originally beautiful dream finally began to show its fangs to her.

"What am I doing... No, what am I doing in that dream?"

Aine murmured calmly, stretching out her finger and staring at the teardrop on her index finger.

She already knew that this dream would be connected to reality, and memory was the most direct proof of the connection. Each of them would remember clearly everything that happened in the dream.

Therefore, Aoi will probably remember that Chihaya Aine is an awkward and troublesome person. Not only is she nosy, but she also insists on forcing Aoi to choose between herself and Suzuya.

But they had clearly just made a declaration not long ago that they would be together for life. In fact, that incident had already well demonstrated Aoi's philosophy. She believed that everyone was equally important, so she made an agreement that everyone should be together.

It's a mess, everything is a mess!

There must be something wrong with this dream. Why would she say that to Aoi? Aoi just wanted to help Sushi and Deng resolve their previous band ties... And, according to Deng and the others, in Aoi's previous dream, she was also a member of Crychic. Although she didn't join C in this storyline, this dream also has some implicit feedback.

More importantly, what's important or unimportant between friends? We're just friends, why would we have to deal with so much trouble?

It's too much to force your friends to answer multiple-choice questions.

but……

Aine gradually retracted her fingers, clenched them into fists, and her eyes dimmed.

"Sure enough, I also want Xiao Kui to see me more..."

If she couldn't understand what she was doing in the dream, then the person who appeared in the dream was not Chihaya Aine.

Wanting a special place in Aoi's heart, wanting to hear her say "you're more important," wanting her to pay more attention to her—these selfish thoughts were something Aine could actually empathize with. After all, in that storyline, she was Aoi's first companion, her best friend, the first person to follow the hero in the adventure story.

With such an identity, it should be a normal selfish desire to hope to have a slightly higher position in Aoi's heart...

But this kind of thing is not suitable to be said out loud, nor is it suitable to directly question Aoi.

She could think so, but she could never say it. Friendship is meant to make both parties feel relaxed and happy, not a heavy yoke.

I originally thought that since she hadn't hurt Aoi in the simulator like everyone else, she could try to take the initiative to talk to Aoi.

Now, how can she have the face to see Aoi...

If I really go to see Aoi, will I hear those words in real life?

"What a hassle."

When she thought of this, Aine felt as if her heart trembled, as if an invisible hand was squeezing her heart, causing her whole body to tremble uncontrollably.

She didn't think she was a troublesome person, and even once thought that everyone in the band was the troublesome one, but now, this title fell on her.

She didn't feel angry, just very frustrated.

No one has the right to say that she is troublesome. Only Aoi has that qualification. Conversely, everyone can criticize her for being troublesome, but only...

The only thing I don’t want to hear is Aoi saying this.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry,"

The sound of breaking pieces drifted in her room, and tears as big as beans kept dripping from her eyes, wetting her pajamas and the golden sunlight in the morning.

……

Damn déjà vu...

When Shiina Riki woke up early in the morning, she couldn't help but ruffle her long black hair. Her expression was so irritable, as if her usual sour face was multiplied several times and then pasted back on her face.

It was already annoying enough to see Deng crying like that during the performance, but finally seeing Deng and everyone cheer up and stand up to sing, my mood had already turned around, and I knew the band would get back on track in the future.

As a result, the dream clearly entered a turning point in the plot.

Also, that Saotome Aoi girl...

She actually said such a speech in the camping in her dream, saying things like... 'I want to fulfill everyone's wishes', 'Create more memories in the future'. Such embarrassing words. It would be fine if she really said them, it would be great if they could really come true. But she immediately started playing the same tricks as Toyokawa Shoko.

He didn't reply to messages, or even read them, and just disappeared. He was not seen during practice for a long time, and the key point was that it was raining that day.

This damn sense of déjà vu...

She sighed in increasing irritation, resisted the urge to throw the toothbrush holder on the sink, and quickly began her morning wash.

Does that guy think he is Shoko Toyokawa?

Moreover, since you said those self-proclaimed cool words and want to carry everyone's dreams on your shoulders, then you should take responsibility and not disappear suddenly. It's worrying that you keep disappearing. How can you realize everyone's dreams like this?

And Nagasaki Suyo, too! They already have such a wonderful band, yet they're still pining over the past of Crychic. That band was wonderful, yes, but dead bands are something that can only be buried in memories. Try as you might, you can't get that soda can in the photo back to the present day. Isn't that common sense?

Xiangzi quit as soon as he said he would, and Ruoye Mu had already said such words. What was she thinking that she was still obsessed with that band?

Forget it...it was all a dream. She must be regretting it now in reality. We can't control our actions in dreams, so we can't blame her for that.

The key is Saotome Aoi. I really don't know what that guy is thinking...

Lixi didn't hate her. To be honest, after experiencing so many memories of forming a band in her dreams, she admired the violinist very much in her heart. Although she was once very jealous of Aoi's ability to easily win back Deng's feelings, she no longer cared so much about it now.

As long as he could see Deng standing in front of the stage singing, it didn't matter who saved it all. For Li Xi, this was enough.

What's more, Aoi is also very friendly and gentle to Riki.

She has always been soft-hearted and doesn't like being tough, and Aoi is not like Aine who always makes her angry. At least she can't imagine what kind of person would dislike Aoi's personality.

Ugh……

Li Xi gently patted his cheeks with cold water, trying to wake himself up, and his expression finally returned to normal.

I always feel that if this dream continues, she will become like Deng and Suyou, and Saotome Aoi's position in her heart will become more and more important.

They will only miss Aoi more and more.

So, as long as this dream continues, that guy's existence is indispensable to the current band... right?

Li Xi frowned, sighed deeply, turned and walked out of the bathroom, packed up his things, and prepared to go to Hanasaki River for class.

Chapter 97 The mysterious young lady arrives at RING.

"Lixi~ Can you get some milk from the refrigerator? It's out of milk."

Miss Rinrinko's voice came from the direction of the counter. Li Xi, who was wiping the table, raised his head slightly, responded softly, and walked towards the kitchen yawning.

When she finally walked to the counter with a few cartons of milk and breathed a tired sigh of relief, she heard Rinrinko's teasing voice.

"Lixi, you weren't secretly reading comic books today, were you? You have dark circles under your eyes."

Li Xi frowned slightly and turned around, just in time to see Rinrinko covering her mouth and laughing. He suddenly opened his mouth awkwardly, but didn't know what to explain, so he just turned his head back and answered sullenly.

"...I don't read comics! Besides, it won't affect my part-time job."

"I'm not really talking about that. Anyway, make sure you get some rest. You must be tired from yesterday's performance, right?"

Rinrinko smiled gently. "I can't believe you guys, a new band, are so popular! You took second place in the popularity vote at the music festival? And you were only two votes away from first place! So, what are your ideas for your next show? With your current popularity, there's bound to be a lot of people coming to see you, right?"

"Ah...we need to discuss that a little more."

Li Xi replied quickly.

"And the band's name~ What's that 'Ikebukuro Student Band'? It sounds like the name of a wind instrumental club at a certain school!"

Rinrinko laughed and grumbled, "Hey, I'm telling you guys signed up for the music festival without even deciding on a name, and you still managed to get a good score. That's incredible! But you still have to choose a good name, understand?"

“I understand…!”

Li Xi sighed, feeling a little tired of dealing with it.

She was completely unsure about the band's current situation. After all, everyone has that strange dream. If there is any big chaos in the dream at this time, it will definitely affect their mood in reality.

As expected, I still need to find a chance to talk to Saotome Aoi. It's not like what Suze said, I have to win her back. Even if she is just a part-time violinist, it may be able to alleviate a lot of the situation.

This is such a hassle...

However, even if it is troublesome, they must continue. They have made a lifetime declaration in the dream, and they will naturally fulfill this promise in reality. No matter what others think, she also wants this promise to be realized, together with Deng, Aoi and others.

If those guys could keep up during this process, it would definitely be great...

"Um~ I'm sorry!"

Just as Li Xi was still silent and lost in thought, the sound of brisk footsteps and the youthful and energetic voice of a girl in front of her drew her attention back.

Li Xi stopped what he was doing and slowly raised his head.

What caught her eye was a girl of about the same age as her, with black hair that looked well-maintained, parted in the middle, with a cute strand of adobo hanging on top of her head, and pupils a similar dark purple color to hers.

He was wearing a Western-style uniform from an unknown school, with an unfamiliar school badge on his chest, but it was clean and tidy, and the fabric was exquisite. It looked like he was from some private school with relatively expensive tuition fees.

Her every move, every glance and every smile show her good upbringing, and she knows very well how to talk to strangers in a friendly and pleasant manner. Her perfect smile and sweet voice will never make others have a bad first impression of her.

Here comes another young lady...

Li Xi couldn't help but sigh in his heart, sighed imperceptibly, and nodded to her formally.

"Welcome, what can I do for you?"

"Could I have a caramel macchiato, please? Thank you very much!"

The girl carefully looked at the menu in front of the counter and said to Lixi with a smile.

"A caramel macchiato."

Li Xi turned around and called out to Miss Rinrinko, but when she turned around, she found that she was still standing there, staring at her with a cute smile.

"...Uh, please take a seat and wait for a moment. There are still plenty of seats available."

Li Xi hesitated for a moment and pointed to the empty seating area not far away.

"I know. However, I have a question I want to ask you. Is that convenient for you? Will it disturb your work?"

The girl smiled and tucked the black hair behind her ear. She asked with a sincere smile and a sincere tone.

"Uh... okay, what do you want to ask?"

Li Xi looked at her in confusion.

"Band consultation!"

The girl's smile grew even brighter, almost a little excited. Her originally polite and gentle voice, like that of a young lady, gradually became full of energy. "I participated in the Jizo-dōng student band festival yesterday!"

"...Um, so what do you want to consult?"

"If I remember correctly, Miss, you are the drummer of the 'Ikebukuro Student Band' yesterday!"

The girl's eyes instantly sparkled brightly. She clasped her hands together and said excitedly, "When is your next performance? I really enjoy your band's performances."

It turns out to be a fan.

Li Xi was stunned for a moment, his eyes slightly widened, and it was only after a few seconds that he reacted with a flattered look and quickly spoke.

"...There's no news yet on this, but there will be one! You can come to the RING to watch it then."

"Oh~ This is where you usually hang out, right?"

The girl looked around with a smile and nodded slightly, "Okay~ But, I still have some questions..."

"What is it?"

Li Xi asked.

"Where did the closing band perform?"

The girl blinked slightly.

This question immediately made Li Xi's face darken, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.

It seems that it was mostly caused by that damn hot topic. I don't know which reporter recorded their conversation with Aoi. Now, anyone who pays attention to the music festival basically knows that they were nervous to death before the performance, and were inspired by Aoi after the performance.

They became the vulnerable party who were helped in that story, and Saotome Aoi became the hero known to everyone.

Although this is true, if it weren't for Aoi coming over to comfort them, they might have performed at their worst even if they had gone on stage that day.
