A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

While everyone was marveling at the delicious food in front of them, Liang had already picked up the spoon and slurped down several mouthfuls of curry. His eyes sparkled with enjoyment as he gave Aoi a thumbs-up and said, "If I can marry Aoi, I probably won't have to work hard anymore in my life."

"Please don't say such strange things suddenly..."

Aoi smiled helplessly and put the tableware aside for everyone, acting like a dutiful housewife. "This is my home after all, so of course I have to entertain you all well."

"But we're here for a training camp... This is really embarrassing, Ryo, you better control yourself!"

Hong Xia couldn't stand it any longer and pulled Liang's face hard, "Next time, let's all prepare the food together. We can't just leave it to Xiao Kui!"

"Yes, it's OK~"

Aoi nodded.

"Liang-senpai, don't eat yet!! I haven't taken any pictures yet, everyone, let's take a group photo~ Tonight's dinner is definitely going to be a memorable one!"

Kita shouted from the side, took out a selfie stick from somewhere, pointed the camera at everyone, and tried hard to find the angle.

Chapter 125: Unwilling to Play Film.

The nights in Shizuoka are exceptionally quiet. Late at night, you can hardly see any lights outside the window illuminating the darkness of the night. The earth is extremely silent, with only the moon and stars hanging above the celestial sphere emitting light.

The night wind is mixed with the chirping of insects, long and faint, echoing with the subtle sound of waves washing the beach, together making up everything of this night.

The girls spread their bedding on the floor of the room, making simple mats for the dormitory. Wearing loose pajamas, they sat together, holding playing cards in their hands, and had been happily playing the ghost card game until just now.

"In the end, I used them all to play with today..."

Hong Xia wore a subtle smile on her face. She glanced at the people who were about to pack up their poker cards and reminded them, "Tomorrow, you must follow the plan carefully, okay? After all, this is the real reason we're here!"

"Everyone's been too excited~ But it's nice to relax together like this every now and then."

Aoi sighed with a smile.

This trip to Shizuoka was a good choice. She loved traveling and had been longing for training in the simulator for a long time. She believed that this kind of activity that could enhance relationships, strengthen training, and relax the mind was simply a good way to create beautiful memories, just like her previous decision in the simulator.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case. Although the people chosen for the training camp are completely different, the joy she can feel is still real. Although she also likes the Mygo and Crychic bands, she still prefers this band that really has the hope of accompanying her for the rest of her life.

Just treat the memories in the simulator as your own fleeting dream, and the memories in the girls' dreams, and don't take them too seriously.

"We can decide on the songs for the next performance."

Liang looked at Aoi expressionlessly, "Aoi, do you want to write a new song? Or maybe we can write it together."

The next thing they are going to hold is an independent live. This kind of large-scale band event is different from music festivals or ordinary performances. They must be responsible for the audience who come to support them. Cover songs of other bands should no longer be selected. Original songs must be prepared in sufficient quantities and be complete enough.

However, the band currently has no original songs, so they must write new songs before the live performance begins. This is also one of the goals of this training session.

“How many new songs do you need?”

Kita asked curiously.

"Including 'Radiance', there should be at least four tracks."

Liang replied, "We can invite other bands to warm up and extend the duration of the independent live as much as possible, but the level of the warm-up band and the length of the repertoire should not be too high."

".Suddenly I feel a sense of pressure emerging."

Kita murmured in a low voice, most likely thinking of the situation on the day of the Live when the level of the warm-up band surpassed theirs. In that case, the independent Live would mark a complete failure, the main band was overshadowed by the warm-up band, and became the laughing stock of the band from then on.

"Want to pick some new bands?"

"The strength can't be too bad. I plan to ask my sister to help me choose. She has much more experience in this area than us."

Hong Xia shrugged, patted Xiduo's head gently and comforted him, "It's okay, Xiduo~ We are very strong!"

"With everyone here, I believe nothing will go wrong."

Aoi winked at the silent little Pochi, causing the latter to lower his head in embarrassment.

"Wouldn't it be too tiring to write so many new songs at once?"

Kita looked at Aoi and Ryo with some worry. She knew nothing about song production and always thought that this activity was quite high-end and difficult. It was considered incredible to be able to write a catchy song, let alone a band song to be performed on stage.

However, Aoi just gave her a thumbs up with confidence and spoke with a smile.

"That should be no problem. I can write a new song! It's OK if one of you writes it, or we can all write a song together!"

As she said that, she turned her head to look at Little Pochi beside her and asked, "Yili, can you write lyrics?"

"Ah, eh? Me, me? I, I, I, I can't do it!"

Little Pochi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head like a rattle, desperately refusing.

"Just give it a try. There's nothing to lose. I believe in you."

Aoi smiled at her encouragingly, "Everyone can think about it first, there's no need to rush for now!"

The topic of the band soon came to an end. Everyone put away their playing cards, crawled into bed, turned off the lights, and let the night seep into the room and swallow up everything around them.

Several people were still lying in bed chattering, while Aoi lay quietly, looking at the swaying tree shadows outside the window and the stars hanging in the sky, thinking about the future in her mind.

She also has a ready-made song "Deep Sea Girl" to perform, and together with the "Light" that she has performed before, she already has two original songs. The remaining song is "Film", but she is still hesitating whether to perform it.

After all, that song is quite different from the previous two. Although "Light" and "Deep Sea Girl" are both important songs during the C Group period, they are not like "Film" which were written by all members and carry a very heavy commitment from everyone.

Even if the simulator has no connection with reality and the girls have no idea of ​​the existence of this song, she still attaches importance to the symbolic meaning of certain things. The end of the band does not mean that everyone has no other songs to sing, so there is no need to bring out that film for the time being.

After all, in Aoi's mind, that song has been temporarily labeled as Mygo, and it will always seem a bit awkward to sing it with the Ending Band.

Even though she can compose music in real life, it's still not as good as the songs from the simulator. She'll probably continue with the GBC simulation tonight and come up with a few new songs...

"Xiao Kui, Xiao Kui..."

The voice calling from the side interrupted her thoughts. Aoi turned her head in confusion and found that everyone around her was looking at her. She suddenly felt a little guilty.

"What, what's wrong?"

"We were just chatting about our pasts, and since you seemed dazed, I called out to you."

Kita smiled and said, "Do you want to come and chat too? Just now, Senior Liang was talking about her old band. She said that when she quit the band, she almost hit someone with her bass..."

"That's too dangerous!"

Aoi smiled and said, "But... me? I don't seem to have anything interesting to talk about in the past. After all, I don't have other band experiences like Liang-senpai. The ending of the band with everyone is my first and most interesting band memory."

Several people chose to remain silent at the same time, looking at each other. No one questioned Aoi's words, but only added a few more guesses in their hearts.

Although this matter was only mentioned casually during the conversation, it was obvious that Aoi did not want them to know about the Ikebukuro band, nor did she want to admit her memories and experiences with the band.

What exactly did Aoi experience with them?

This question took root in their hearts, but they all knew that now was not the time to ask.

Chapter 126 Other people’s mothers.

It was late at night, and the whispers that had just been heard accompanied by the chirping of insects were no longer there. Only the faint breathing of the girls remained, which grew deeper and deeper with the night.

There was silence, so quiet that I could almost hear my own heartbeat mixing with everyone else's breathing, floating towards the brilliant night sky.

Aoi slowly opened her eyes, her emerald green eyes sparkling and translucent in the dark room, as if masked by starlight pouring in from the window, full of the faintness and cleanliness unique to night light.

After confirming that everyone was asleep, she rubbed her eyes, made sure she was awake, and opened her daily routine for tonight.

[After that night, your relationship with Nina improved almost instantly. From being awkward to talking to each other and having an unpleasant atmosphere everywhere, you two have become good friends. Not only is she no longer reserved around you, but she can often make light-hearted jokes with you, just like she does with Subaru.

By the time the band got together the next day, the problems you had faced previously had been basically resolved. Nina accepted the idea of ​​a dual-vocalist band, and your grandmother, who had originally tried to meet you at Subaru's house, finally went back. You returned to Subaru's house and successfully joined the band.

At the harmonious celebration banquet that day, Momoka and Nina officially recognized you as the fourth member of "New Kawasaki" to join the band, and you will be the sub-vocalist and harmony vocalist in future band practices.

However, like Nina, you, as a "problem runaway," have your own personal matters to attend to first, otherwise they might affect your band activities. And according to Subaru, on the day you were forced to stay at Nina's house, your grandmother, Tsurukawa Orihime, didn't stay long. She simply spoke earnestly and calmly, saying that knowing you were safe was enough, because you were a good child who knew the right path and would return home soon.

Hearing this, Renai is clearly unhappy and gives you the very extreme advice she's currently practicing: go home and confront your grandmother, then clearly tell her that you'll prove yourself right by being in the band.

They are truly a true rock band, and every step they take embodies the spirit of rebellion and non-cooperation. Compared with the current Shin Kawasaki, the band's ending was as easy and happy as a high school light music club. As for the C group and Mygo next door, although it was not as easy as before, they are completely not in the same league in terms of band career and rock spirit.

Both Nina and Momoka dropped out of high school to pursue music. Nina, who is clearly a protagonist like Deng, is even more radical and aggressive. Aoi even suspects that she is the type who would give the middle finger to anti-fans on stage and smash them on the head with a guitar.

She is sincere in emotion, innocent and righteous, kind and sensitive, unwilling to compromise and insists on her own self and personality. Such a character is indeed the image of a positive rock girl, and a typical example of using her music to resist an unfair society.

As for Taoxiang, she seems like the type whose edges have been smoothed out by society. Originally a fanatic about punk music, dedicated to using music to rebel against the world, she finally saw the reality clearly. No longer longing to destroy the world and humanity, she decided to destroy herself first, devoting herself to the cold and dark world of post-punk...

This is so rockin'!

At this point in the simulation, Aoi felt that the background preset by the system was not rock enough, causing her, a young lady, to appear here even less harmoniously than Subaru, and it was so awkward that it seemed like it was photoshopped in.

But what could she do? Born a daughter, her upbringing had bound her soul, and she already had the burden of being a lady that she couldn't shake off. Not to mention she didn't dare follow Rencai's example and skip school. The only way she could pretend to rock was to secretly give him the middle finger.

But it doesn't matter, isn't this a girl rock band? Everyone else takes care of the rock part, and she takes care of the girl part!

[Although you were hesitant, you didn't make a decision for a while. These past few days, you continued to go to school, do housework at Subaru's house, and go to the band for training. Until one day after school, you saw that familiar figure at the door.

Your mother stood at the school gate, her face as cold and indifferent as an iceberg, yet elegant and noble, as she gazed at you with extraordinary dignity. She neither called out to you nor scolded you, but simply stood there silently observing you, like a grandmother. Even though she said nothing and showed no anger, she exuded a heavy sense of pressure.

I was sweating profusely.

Although I encountered many stressful scenes when playing simulators in the past, no scene was as oppressive as my own mother blocking the school gate. I felt like I was there, and I always felt that when I returned home I would have to face my mother's expressionless and silent gaze.

If she wanted to keep up with the rock atmosphere of the band, she should immediately make the most rock and rebellious decision, have a big fight with her mother on the spot, or just become a Tokyo deserter and run away from her mother as quickly as possible.

After all, daring to run away directly is also the spirit of rock and roll.

So, faced with a plot so realistic that even she felt pressured, she naturally chose...

[You are very nervous, but with your mother in front of you, you don't have the courage to run away or argue. You can only walk up to her dejectedly, greet her, and wait for her scolding with your head down.

However, unexpectedly, your mother did not scold you. Instead, she patted your head, took you to a teahouse near the school, ordered tea and snacks for you, and calmly asked about your current situation. After learning that you were living in Subaru's house and had joined an amateur band, she did not get angry, but nodded gently and asked if you were satisfied with your current situation.

She tells you that she does not absolutely agree with your grandmother's arrangement, but hopes that you can walk your own path in the future, provided that you really like it and will not regret it. If you really want to go down the path of a band, then work hard and use actions to make your grandmother recognize you.

You were encouraged by what she said, and expressed your determination to your mother before sending her away. She had no intention of urging you to go home, but just hoped that you would take care of yourself. She stuffed a bank card into your pocket and left.

After that, you decided on your goals and direction and told them your ideas at the band meeting that day.

①. Let’s keep forming a band together until we are old ladies.

②. Form a professional band, aiming for a martial arts hall.

③. Work towards the goal of creating music that can rebel against this world.

④. I want to fulfill everyone’s wishes. 】

I always feel that these options do not conflict... basically they can be implemented together.

Aoi is finding these options increasingly difficult to understand. Perhaps it means choosing which one to use as the core idea?

① She jumped to the Mygo studio next door. She now seriously suspected that the band’s constant explosions were ruined by the words “lifetime”, so she decided not to mention the lifelong promise in this round.

As for ③ and ④, it always feels a little lacking when they are brought up in this band. Besides, Aoi is indeed very interested in the band's career path after participating in the music festival.

So there is basically no need to hesitate here, just rush to the martial arts hall without thinking!

“It’s too early for us as a band to discuss this now.”

After hearing you declare that you want to become a professional band and head towards the martial arts hall, Momoka's expression became obviously unnatural, but she still said these words with forced calmness.

"You are still young and have plenty of time to think about it. Don't make decisions about your future life too easily."

Chapter 127: The drunken bastard was beheaded under the skirt!

"This is the best way, right? If I want to prove to Aoi's grandmother that she's not wrong, what else can I do except try my best to prove it?"

You didn't open your mouth to refute, because before you could say anything, Rencai had already frowned and stood up for you.

"Xiao Kui has already made up her mind. We should support her at this time, right? If we don't support her and think she is right, it would be too cruel."

"We're not talking about the same thing right now. I never said I didn't support her. It's just that it's too early to make a decision now. Same with you, Niina. You still have cram school classes. If you really want to go down the path of a professional band, how are you going to study?"

Momoka just drank her wine calmly, ignoring Renai's questions and dissatisfied looks.

You and Subaru were sitting on one side, and you were holding a drink that you were going to clink glasses with everyone, but now you put it down somewhat at a loss, and watched blankly as the atmosphere of the dinner party gradually became weird, while Subaru beside you was just eating calmly, and then whispered to you to get used to it.

Just like that, as the person involved, you didn't say a word, watching Nina and Momoka argue about you. They argued from 'whether they should approve of your decision' to whether the band should go into the professional field at once. Both sides seemed to have very clear opinions.

Momoka thinks that you are all still young. Nina is already in her third year of high school and is facing the critical moment of the entrance examination, while you, as the youngest member of the band, are just in your first year of high school. You still have many choices in your life and a long way to go. You should not make choices for yourself right now.

Renai believes that this matter has nothing to do with age, because you are facing a crucial decision now. If you try your best to prove yourself at this moment, you may end up taking a path you didn't choose. Continuously retreating when it's time to make a choice is no different from running away.
