A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

"...Sushi and Xiao Lenai, didn't they come?"

"Yes."

Li Xi said irritably, "I can understand Wildcat. Sometimes she doesn't even check the messages, so catching someone is just luck. But that Su Shi...she's rarely late or doesn't reply to messages."

Deng didn't say anything when he heard this. He just sat in the chair silently, staring blankly at the scene in the mirror.

"...Why didn't that guy come?"

Looking at the silent light, Li Xi couldn't help but clench his hands and asked.

"Aine asked for leave today, saying she wasn't feeling well."

Deng replied softly, his eyes still fixed on the mirror.

It was as if the past scenes could be seen through the mirror. Aine stood in the corner showing off her newly learned guitar skills to Su Shi, and Lenai sat lazily at the table at the door, ready to steal a few snacks prepared by everyone, and the two of them sat in the middle, watching everyone laugh and whisper.

Aoi's figure was everywhere in the recording studio, and the mirror was filled with her figure and smile. Unconsciously, even the air seemed to be filled with the girls' laughter and Aoi's laughter.

All this was like a reflection of a dream, and even for a moment gave her the illusion that she had not woken up yet.

"Lixi..."

Finally, Deng spoke, breaking the silence. Her voice was weak, but full of power, just like when she sang on the stage before, "...Aoi in the dream is back in the end, right?"

"……yes."

Li Xi frowned slightly, his face full of regret, "It was clearly the time when she could have captured everyone again, but she actually turned around and ran away."

"If, in my dream, I was willing to keep Xiao Kui from that time... maybe the ending would be different."

"Don't say that! Deng...you did nothing wrong. This wasn't your fault. It was just a dream. None of us could control it."

"But... in reality, it can be controlled, right?"

Deng placed his hands on his chest, and a mysterious light shone in his amber eyes.

"lamp……"

Li Xi's pupils shrank slightly, "You mean..."

"Ah."

Deng nodded solemnly, took out the notebook from his schoolbag, walked to Lixi and handed it to Lixi.

Li Xi opened the notebook in his hand with an expression of surprise, and clearly saw the lyrics of the song that was like a confession poem on the last page.

"115 Kilometers of Film".

“…I want to do everything I can here to try to avoid all the bad things that happened in my dream.”

The light in Deng's eyes burned like a flame, igniting Li Xi's already extinguished passion, "Li Xi...are you willing to bring Aoi back together?"

"That kind of thing...is there any need to ask?"

Lixi felt a sour taste in her nose for a moment, and the smell of tears spread in her heart like water stains, moistening her eyes. She looked into the eyes of the lamp, and through the blazing flames in those eyes, she seemed to see the bonfire by Lake Motosu.

"Even if it's a promise in a dream, it's still a promise... We promised to be together for the rest of our lives."

She couldn't help but smile, her tone filled with gentleness and softness, "For those who talk nonsense and don't keep their promises, we must catch them and teach them a lesson."

"Thank you... Li Xi."

Deng nodded gratefully, "Can you still...write down the music for this song?"

"Of course it's no problem. After all, the song is already finished... Does Deng want to play this song? The two of us?"

Li Xi asked.

"no……"

Deng shook his head slightly, "The two of us, along with Xiao Le Na, Su Shi, and Aine, let's... sing this song to Xiao Kui."

Sometimes words are not enough to understand each other and cannot touch each other's hearts, so Deng decided to use his singing to convey his feelings.

This song can definitely convey the feelings that cannot be expressed by any words, any language, or any communication. There is no need for any extra words. If Aoi hears it, she will definitely understand.

After all, this is a song they wrote together, a written agreement to stay together for life.

"Uh-huh!"

Li Xi nodded vigorously with tears in his eyes, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Now... let's first catch those guys who escaped without permission! The last one is that idiot Aoi!"

Chapter 105 Why is there someone else coming?

Until the end, Aoi didn't recognize who the two girls were. Even though she had many guesses, she didn't dare to really confirm them in her heart, so she could only attribute everything to the illusion caused by her sense of déjà vu.

After all, they looked like ordinary fans of the band. They came specially just to ask about the next performance and said they would definitely come to watch it. Then they stayed in the store to watch the performances for a month or two and then left.

Aoi quickly put the matter behind her and started today's training with the band members.

After the training of this music festival, everyone's progress is very obvious, especially Kita and Bochi, who are completely different people from when they first joined the band.

Kitano's guitar skills improved to the level of normal performance at an almost genius rate, and her singing level is even more amazing. Her wide vocal range, strong explosive power, and steady breath make her the most qualified lead singer. Coupled with her extraordinary stage talent, she learned to interact with the audience after only one performance. Her various winks and smiles maximized the experience of every audience member.

Xiao Boqi's guitar skills were already very good, and a short period of ensemble and training could not bring any improvement. However, after the music festival, she became much bolder. Although she would still burst into an abstract state from time to time during communication, her ensemble level had obviously improved a lot, and she dared to occasionally meet the eyes of other members during the performance.

Just as Aoi thought at the beginning, if the band wants to make progress, in addition to practicing day after day, the most important thing is performance. As long as they keep breaking through themselves, it is not a dream to move towards becoming a highly popular professional band.

Therefore, after the ensemble ended, she decided to describe her thoughts to everyone.

"Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui!"

However, before she could speak, the team's little sun, Miss Kita, had already arrived. She sat down beside her with full energy and asked with a smile, "Golden Week is coming soon! Golden Week! What are your plans?"

"Eh? Plans?"

Aoi blinked in confusion, "What is Kita planning to do?"

"My friends asked me if I wanted to go to Enoshima! We could even go to the beach during this holiday. It's still cold so I might not be able to wear a swimsuit, but it sounds great!"

Kita's eyes sparkled brightly, and the words "I want to go with you" were practically written on his face. "How's Xiaokui? Do you have any plans for this holiday?"

"Sounds great! But...it's a rare vacation, do you all want to spend it together? Do you have any plans for the holiday?"

Aoi blinked lightly, and the trip to Yamanashi Prefecture in her previous dream suddenly emerged in her mind, and she suddenly became eager to try it.

"Golden Week~ If I don't have anything else to do, I might go shopping with some friends, or help out at my sister's store."

Hong Xia thought carefully, the hair on her head swaying gently. She slowly turned her head to look at Liang beside her, "Liang, you don't have anything else to do during the holiday, right?"

Liang hesitated for a moment, found a handkerchief from somewhere, wiped away the non-existent tears, and spoke very sadly.

"...Actually, a rock musician I really like has recently fallen seriously ill. As her only fan, she wants me to go to Birmingham to see her for the last time..."

"Don't lie to your teammates!!"

Hong Xia glared at her and said helplessly, "Don't worry, from what Liang said, she probably wants to go to a used clothing store or a bookstore by herself. She should be free."

"What about that mile?"

Aoi gave Pochi a bright smile, "Ichiri, what's up with your vacation?"

"Eh?"

Pochi stared back at Aoi blankly, remaining frozen for five full seconds. Then, as if a strange button had been pressed, she exuded a bright and dazzling aura of happiness. Even as she spoke, one could almost see love beating inside her.

"I'm free 24 hours a day during Golden Week!!"

"No, I slept well..."

Hong Xia complained.

"Huh? So this is going to be a band trip? That sounds even more fun!!"

Kita clapped his hands joyfully, as if he was already imagining the happy scenes of everyone going out to play together. He couldn't help but let out a sweet laugh, "Then~ let's go to Enoshima together!"

"Why don't we all propose together and go somewhere everyone wants to go."

Aoi smiled and looked at the others.

“I want to go somewhere where there are fewer people.”

"It would be nice to have a hot spring. Of course, the ocean would be nice too!"

"...I, I just need to be with everyone. No, no, no, but if possible, I'd like to go somewhere less crowded."

Everyone's opinions were almost all over the place. Kita and Nijiga, Ryo and Pochi were almost divided into the lively, sunny and present-oriented group and the gloomy, dark and indoor-looking group.

Now that things had come to this, Aoi didn't intend to hide her intentions any longer and made a suggestion enthusiastically.

"Actually, my family has a villa in a great location in Izu... It should meet everyone's requirements. Do you want to go there for a training camp? We can practice and have fun together at the same time?"

Once this blatant opinion was expressed, everyone remained silent as if they had pressed the pause button, and only exploded a few seconds later.

"Really?! That sounds awesome!!"

This proposal seemed to be approved by everyone, including Kita, who expressed her joy wholeheartedly.

After all, we're all just high school students. Putting aside serious topics like bands and martial arts halls, who doesn't like to go out and have fun? The beach, hot springs, and camps with friends—it all sounds like the epitome of youth.

"By the way, Xiao Kui seemed to have mentioned something about an independent live before? What was that about?"

After discussing the training camp with great interest for a while, Hongxia asked about the suggestion that Aoi had given to Xingge at the beginning.

Generally speaking, after the Livehouse opens for business, many bands will take the stage to perform. Among them, those bands that are popular and have the ability to take on more targets can organize independent Lives, that is, the business of the day is basically provided to this band for performances. It can be understood as booking the Livehouse as an independent exclusive stage.

But generally speaking, only popular bands are eligible to hold independent live performances. A band like them that is new and has only participated in one music festival does not seem to have the ability to hold an independent live performance.

"The band's popularity is already pretty high, so I think it would be great to give it a try now. We won't be in a rush to hold a solo live. We can hold one or two regular shows first to see how it goes, and then we can hold a solo live after that."

Aoi said seriously, "I just don't know if the store manager will agree..."

"Xiao Kui, you are as bold as ever..."

Hong Xia couldn't help but cover her mouth, "I was right before, Aoi, you are a complete radical!"

The first performance the band participated in after forming was a music festival, where they won the first place, an amazing result. As their second performance, they will immediately hold an independent live.

If they succeed, they might just become the fastest legends in the Tokyo band scene.

"There's no need to rush to agree. You can think about it carefully."

Aoi winked at them and said, "Don't worry, I will convince you one by one later!"

"Xiao Kui~"

There was a gentle knock on the studio door. The PA lady poked her head out from behind the door and smiled at her. "Are you busy? It seems someone is looking for you."

Huh? Why is there someone here again?

Chapter 106: Cat see, cat come, cat eat!

Yao Lenai didn't like the dream she had last night.

It was as if the stray cat's nest collapsed overnight without any warning. She just continued to play the guitar and pick up Xiaokui and the others' parfait as usual. When she came to her senses, she found that no one came to practice.

Even though they had just made a vow together in Yamanashi Prefecture, just as Lenai thought, they would be together forever.

After all, no matter what kind of creature it is, it always needs a place to live. This is especially true for Lenai. She needs an interesting haven that can support her for a lifetime.

That safe haven was the band.

So she really didn't like the ending of her dream. It was inexplicable, and she felt disappointed and bored in the dream. She just stayed away from the place where she once thought she could have fun.

She didn't want to think about why the dream reflected reality so clearly, nor did she want to investigate the reasons why everyone was talking about Aoi being hurt. She just felt that once the promise was made, there would be no room for change. If she gave up so easily, it would only mean that she had made a mistake.

A bunch of boring women.

Not liking the ending of her dream and not wanting to just sit back and watch, Le Na ran to Setagaya Ward according to the information she had heard before. After going around in circles, she finally found the Livehouse in Shimokitazawa. Although it took some effort, the clerk finally understood who she was looking for and brought the target to her very quickly.

Saotome Aoi.

She was obviously still a little dazed, looking blankly at Lenai who suddenly appeared in Starry, and staring into Lenai's beautiful eyes of different colors, without saying a word for a long time.

Why did Lenai come here?

This was her first time meeting Lenai face to face in real life. The last time Mygo was in a low period, Lenai was not there. She was only seen happily playing the guitar on the stage. Logically, they should not have had any interaction.

However, this issue does not seem to be that important. Although they have only had contact in simulation, Lenai's personality still reflects a free and easy-going person.
