Tokyo Psychic

Everyone immediately became excited, "Miss An He, please tell us in detail!"

An He Subaru proudly put his hands on his shoulders and said, "Watch my performance."

Then she took her cell phone and rushed towards Kurusu Akatsuki. With a few words, she asked the other party to take out his cell phone as well, and then they exchanged numbers with each other.

After a while, An and Subaru came running back, "It's that simple."

At this moment, she received the admiring gazes of the girls.

"How did you do it?" Kita Ikuyo asked somewhat unwillingly.

After all, she is a recognized beauty in the school, excellent in all aspects, and often receives love letters from boys of different grades... Everyone goes straight to ask for their contact information, so why is it that An and Subaru succeed?

An and Subaru smiled with a look of triumph, "Of course it's because Amamiya-san is more likely to communicate with girls in bands."

"Come to think of it, I happen to have a band here, but we're currently in need of a lead singer..."

"I'll join!" Almost without hesitation, Kita Ikuyo held An and Subaru's hands and made a once-in-a-lifetime plea.

"Ms. Anhe, please let me join your band!"

She couldn't wait to get Lai Qi Xiao's contact information, and then go back to the class to show off to her friends.

(I can't hold on any longer. My typing speed is getting slower and slower... My mind is full of ideas, but I'm so sleepy I can't even open my eyes. I wanted to take this opportunity to sprint through five chapters, but I'm really reaching my physical limit. So I'll just stop at four. I've written an extra 0 words though, so I should be able to update before 00: AM tonight.)

(80 more monthly tickets and 100 more blade tickets are needed to unlock new chapters, so if you have monthly tickets or blade tickets, please vote.)

(Finally, I'd like to recommend two new books by my friends, one about FGO and the other about original works:)

076. If it's just interest (two in one)

"Hopeless."

After finishing today's rehearsal, Kurusu Akatsuki was busy behind the counter in his work uniform, and finally let out a sad sigh.

Shoko Toyokawa, who was filling her wine glass with ice, also shook her head. "Everyone is not used to performing in front of others."

The first roadshow is coming soon.

As a result, the band seemed to have tried their best just to perform on stage in the Livehouse they were most familiar with. The drum beats were often a mess, the lead singer was out of tune, and then the rhythm guitar disappeared. It was impossible to save the situation with only a keyboard and lead guitar.

As for the bass...

The bass wasn't played at all.

At this time, bassist Ms. Yamada Ryo was severely criticized by Kawahara Momoka for her improper attitude and was reflecting on her mistakes.

Ijichi Hongxia squatted in the corner of the recording studio, with a frustrated look on her face, muttering words like "Please forgive me, I will practice hard", "I will definitely not make the same mistake again next time, please give me another chance" and so on.

Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed, Jing Qinren tried to speak up to save the band that seemed to be falling apart at any time.

"Um...why don't you guys want to decide on a band name first? After all, we're going to be performing on stage the day after tomorrow."

Hearing this, Ichichi Hongxia forced herself to stand up, "That's right, the band should have its own name!"

"Should we use the name we chose on Line before?" Kawahara Momoka's expression was a little conflicted.

"I think 'end' sounds pretty good," Ijichi Hongxia explained. "Everyone has their own original intentions and goals, and their experiences are very different, but because we love rock, we formed a band together... It's like tying together silk threads to become a whole..."

"Are you saying that you can't play a complete song in half an hour?" The bassist said this sarcastically, and then the drummer stood on tiptoe and chopped him on the head with a sharp knife.

Jing Serina looked at Kawahara Ki Momoka with pleading eyes, "It seems like we are about to end before we even 'end'."

Kawahara Momoka slumped on the sofa with a dull expression, as if she had become indifferent to the vicissitudes of life. "It's okay, we're all just band members doing this for fun. Since the results of one rehearsal were poor, let's rehearse a few more times. We can postpone the roadshow for a while."

The former professional singer has given up treatment.

It doesn’t matter if your psychological endurance is a little bit low, the most important thing when playing in a band is to have fun.

Anyway...I can only stay with them for a year at most. By then, these girls will be preparing for further studies, and I can pack my bags and return to Kawasaki.

Momoka Kawahara suppressed the faint regret and resentment in her heart, stood up, and displayed the reliability and composure of an adult. "Let's practice hard tomorrow. The most important thing for everyone right now is to get a good rest. Then, while STARRY is open, observe how other bands perform on stage."

As she spoke, Jing Qingcai took out her phone and looked through the list of bands performing today on STARRY's official website...

"Diamond Dust?!"

Jing Qinrencai couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Huh?" Ijichi Hongka and Yamada Ryo, who were playing around, stopped what they were doing and looked at the former lead singer and founder of "Diamond Dust" sitting on the sofa in surprise.

Momoka Kawahara's expression seemed to be shrouded in a haze for a moment, but it quickly dissipated and disappeared without a trace. "They accepted the record company's plan, so they will definitely find someone suitable to fill my position. If you calculate the time carefully, it makes sense for them to make a re-debut at this time."

"How can this be..." Jing Qinrencai said angrily, "That's Miss Taoxiang's band!"

Kawahara Momoka was stunned for a moment. Although she was used to Iserina's casual childishness and willful opinions, she was still a little embarrassed. "I'm glad you like the songs I wrote... But the reality is that I took the initiative to leave the band, so it's reasonable for them to find a new lead singer. It's impossible for the band to disband just because I left."

Jing Qinrencai was very unwilling to pick up the phone to search for the latest news about "Diamond Dust", and then as expected, she found the new developments of this afternoon in the official Twitter of Diamond Dust: "Welcome the new lead singer "Hina" to join our group."

She couldn't accept that her favorite song and the person who sang it were taken away by a complete stranger.

So she clicked on the post and saw the new lead singer's photo and personal information...

Jing Qinrencai felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, with a chilling feeling spreading throughout her body.

How could it be this person?

All the experiences of school bullying in high school came back to me in an instant.

The distorted faces around her seemed to be emitting sharp and shrill laughs, and invisible fists and feet seemed to be about to fall on her at any time.

In a panic, the phone slipped out of my hand and fell to the ground, making a dull sound.

Jing Qinrencai raised her head absentmindedly, trying to find the reliable figure around her.

But inside the studio, it was just the girls from the band reading through the setlist for the new Diamond Dust band.

"This song 'Empty Box' seems to be the work of Miss Momoka!" Ijichi Hongxia said a little excitedly. At this time, she began to personally feel the difference between the "professional" Momoka Kawahara and herself.

Yamada Ryo also clapped with admiration, "Ms. Momoka is really amazing. She can write such a popular song... No, our current song was also written by Ms. Momoka. I see, we are a popular band too."

Ijichi Hongxia kicked her calf and said, "How can it be a popular band?"

Yamada Ryo said with some pride, "Just wait, I will perform a bass solo the day after tomorrow, which will surely grab the attention of the entire audience."

“There’s no way there’s a bass solo in the song ‘Because I Can’t Be Someone Else’!!”

"Hey, that's why you don't understand rock 'n' roll. To play rock 'n' roll, you have to be different... special... and unique!"

"It's obvious that Ryo just wants to be in the spotlight! Invisible bassist!" Ijichi Hongka was arguing with Yamada Ryo, when she suddenly heard the sound of a cell phone falling behind her.

"Rinna-chan? Your phone isn't broken, is it?" She quickly turned around and looked at her lead singer.

Jing Qinrencai squatted down to pick up her iPhone, tore off the cracked tempered glass screen protector, and walked towards the door of the recording studio without saying a word.

At this time, STARRY had been open for more than ten minutes.

There was a sudden knock on the door of the recording studio.

"It's time to go out. We can't take up other bands' practice time," Kawaharaki Momoka reminded the girls in the recording studio, then stood up to open the door.

As the metal door of the recording studio opened.

Standing outside the door was a pink-haired girl in a gorgeous performance costume. When she saw someone in the recording studio, she quickly bowed and apologized, her tone sincere, "Sorry! I disturbed your training!"

Then when she stood up, she saw Isen Rina standing behind Kawahara Momoka, and her eyes widened suddenly.

"Eh? You are..."

Jing Serina trembled all over, then without hesitation, she held the phone, pushed away Kawahara Ki Momoka who was blocking the door, and escaped from the recording studio past her.

As it happened, fans of "New Diamond Dust" had already poured into the venue with their support items and light boards. New and old customers crowded the bar, completely blocking Jing Qinren's view.

Not to mention finding Laiqi Xiao, she couldn't even see the other person's face.

It's like a house cat that has strayed into the jungle, standing in a jungle full of predators, feeling helpless, confused and panicked.

She looked at the bustling crowd, took two steps back, and suddenly turned around to see her former best friend approaching her. The string representing her rationality was cut by an invisible pick at this moment, and a heart-pounding buzzing sound burst out.

All the blood seemed to rush to her brain in an instant. In a daze, Jing Qinrencai followed her instinct and took a step forward. She ran through the crowded crowd and escaped from the Livehouse up the stairs.

The pink-haired girl was about to chase after her when she was stopped by several of her teammates who were approaching. "Hina, the performance is about to start. We found an unused recording studio. Let's go rehearse again."

The singer named "Hina" hesitated for a while, and finally followed her predecessors to the recording studio on the other side.

Once you have chosen a professional path, you lose the right to be willful and lose many choices.

If you insist on pursuing the things you have let go of, you will only fall into an invisible deep pit, get hurt all over, and then lose more.

The store manager, who was taking out two bottles of champagne from the wine cabinet at the stairs, happened to see this scene.

But when she put down the bottle and stood up, Jing Qinrencai had already disappeared.

Hey, this kid...

She took out her work ID, walked through the crowd, and found Kurusu Akatsuki, who was expertly making ice cream at the counter. "Amemiya, put down what you're doing for a moment."

Kurusu Xiao, who was indulging in asset expansion, turned back suddenly and even revealed a ferocious look - even if you are the boss and want to stop me from making money, I will never give you a good face!

"Your lead singer ran away." Ijichi Xingge crossed her arms, "Go and bring her back. Don't worry, your hourly wage will still be credited to your salary when you leave your post... This is the job I personally arranged for you."

The murderous look in Kurusu Akatsuki's eyes became even more intense, but this time it was directed at Jing Qinrenna.

"I understand." He quickly took off his apron, work ID and mask, and ran out of the bar.

Ijichi Hoshige watched Kurusu Akatsuki climb the stairs like a parkour sprinter, disappearing at the foot of the stairs in just a few seconds. Her strong enthusiasm was truly astonishing.

She asked Toyokawa Shoko, who was working diligently at the bar, "Do you think he can really stay with his girlfriend until the end with his personality?"

Shoko Toyokawa's hand trembled, and she squeezed all the ice cream out of the cone, making it look like a heart with broken lines.

She has outstanding attainments in piano, and the coordination ability of her two hands is almost beyond that of ordinary people. It is impossible for her to make such a low-level mistake.

"I don't know," Toyokawa Shoko's voice was very soft and evasive.

Ijichi Xingge's expression suddenly became subtly weird.

Is their band about to end?

......

Running through the streets at dusk, there are some dandelions that have not yet grown fully scattered in the green belts along the road. The wilted white flowers sway in the wind, and occasionally a few white catkins fall into the sky, which reflects the setting sun and is as sparkling as a river.

The female students wore seasonal shirts and carried school bags. They wore stockings under their short skirts, and a section of their fair thighs was exposed between the hem of their skirts and the edges of their socks, their youthful and beautiful colors were enchanting in the red glow of the sunset.

At this time, the setting sun fell along the edge of the city, like pouring a large basin of cinnabar into the river... The red flames burned in the sea of ​​clouds, covering the towering buildings with a crimson veil, and the brown sparrows flew over the gray mist between the tall buildings, carrying the laziness and fatigue of the evening.

Jing Qinrencai stopped breathlessly beside a fire hydrant. She looked at the crimson sky, feeling so depressed and sad that she wanted to scream out loud.

How can such a person become a professional singer?

Why can she become the lead singer of "Diamond Dust"?

Why... can she sing "Empty Box"?

No one could answer the confusion in the girl's heart. Only the traffic jam on the road beside her and the constant honking of car horns formed a noisy sound, as if a demon was beating a drum in her heart, making a roar that destroyed her rationality.

And the Phantom Thief is never late.

While those destructive fantasies kept popping up in her mind, Kurusu Akatsuki had already arrived behind her.

"You look a bit like you ran into your middle school bully, and it triggered a psychological trauma, causing you to run away in a panic."

Jing Qin Rencai turned around almost trembling and looked at Kurusu Akatsuki with disbelief.

The Phantom Thief simply waved his hand and gently patted her forehead, "Go back. Whether it's a bully or something else, you have to face it."

He seemed to be saying nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter how scared you are, I'm still here."

Jing Serina followed Kurusu Akatsuki almost blindly.

Countless ripples seemed to suddenly appear in the eyes as blue as a great lake.
