Chapter 100 The end of the show
At 3.05pm on Thursday, the air inside the livehouse lounge was a bit dull. The three girls sat on the sofa and listened to the chatter of the audience outside, their hearts beating faster and faster.

The show is about to begin.

However... Akino Saiyuanji has not arrived yet.

"Senior Xiyuanji..." Shinohara Rika stared at the minute hand on the clock, and couldn't help calling his name softly.

Xiyuanji Akino told them yesterday that even if it was the midterm exam, he would definitely arrive on time.

They also trust Xiyuanji Akino's words, but now there are still 5 minutes before the official performance.

"Everyone at the end of the band, you are going to go on stage for equipment adjustment, and introduce yourself?" The female college student clerk reminded.

As soon as these words came out, the bodies of the three girls trembled, even including Yue Shandong. She just couldn't see it on the surface, but she was actually very nervous inside.

Rika Shinohara raised her head and asked softly, "Well, that, one of us is not here, can we wait?"

The female college student clerk shook her head, "Then we have to go on stage to adjust the equipment. We have a time limit, and we can't affect the next band's performance because of you."

"Okay... I see..." Shinohara Rika forced her courage, stretched out her hand, and held Asaba Ichisato and Tsukiyama Tou, "It's okay, Senior Xiyuanji will definitely arrive, he won't If you break your promise, let's go out and introduce ourselves, say some funny MCs to stir up the atmosphere, that's enough...!"

Yue Shandong: "Li Xiang, your palms are full of sweat..."

Rika Shinohara: "Nah, long-winded!"

Asaba Ichisato still lowered her head, she looked at the guitar she was hanging on her body, and recalled what Akino Saigenji said to her last night.

This song is made for me, this is my song, can I really deserve this song?

Is today's performance really all right?
With anxiety in their hearts, the three girls stepped up to the stage.

After adjusting their respective instruments, Rika Shinohara took the lead in making the opening remarks, "Hi everyone, we are the end band! I am very happy to come to the livehouse to meet you today—beep!——" accidentally bumped into the microphone, so that There was a sharp noise, which immediately made the audience frown.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I didn't mean it..." Rika Shinohara immediately forgot all the drafts she had prepared, but she still worked hard to introduce herself, and tried to interact with Tsukiyama Toyu and Asaba Ichiri, Use the mc of cold jokes to stir up the atmosphere.

However, the audience in the audience didn't buy it. After all, MC and everything else are extras. No one will spend money to listen to your performance just because your band said that cross talk is special. What you really want to hear is the band itself. musical strength.

Time passed by second by second, but the person who was supposed to come still did not come, and the haze in the hearts of the three girls deepened. Without the support of Akino of Saiyuan Temple, could their performance really pass the test?Can these audiences, who are more professional than the general public, be satisfied?Will it receive a lot of boos?

It was as if the stage was shrouded in an invisible dark cloud, and it was going to rain at any moment...

-

Seeing the band at the end of the embarrassing double cross talk on the stage, my former friends, Sakuraba Qianxue also felt anxious for them, wishing to rush up to grab the microphone and speak for them.

For some bad jokes, she is still very good at it.

Are they waiting for the lead guitarist?Speaking of which, who is the lead guitarist?

Why so irresponsible?Can't catch up with the performance of the day?

Hiding among the crowd, Sakuraba Chiyuki began to condemn the unknown lead guitarist.

"Hasn't it started yet?"

"Sure enough, junior high school girls' bands are not crisp enough, mother-in-law's..."

As time passed by, the situation gradually became uncontrollable. The audience in the audience began to feel restless, and negative voices gradually increased.

"I've already bought the tickets. If you don't hurry up and start playing, what are you waiting for?"

"Could it be that you forgot how to play it...?"

Listening to these people's comments, Sakuraba Chiyuki wanted to refute, but at the same time she also lowered her head and stared at her guitar strap.

She also brought a guitar today, if the lead guitarist is not here, let her go up to save the scene...

Although I don't play that well now, at least I can ensure the normal progress of the show.

And... Is it really okay for Yili to be the lead singer?Will you feel too much pressure?
Looking carefully, Yili's hands are shaking...

No, I must do something.

Sakuraba Qianxue tried her best to squeeze through the crowd, apologizing to others while squeezing.

...

When the time came, Akino Xiyuanji didn't come, so they had to start performing.

The three girls who had lost their backbone were all in a daze. They obviously didn't expect that Akino Xiyuanji would really not come. Without the cover of Akino Xiyuanji's superb guitar skills, would their performance really be okay?
Asahi gripped her guitar tightly, pointed at the microphone, her eyes under her bangs remained firm...

"Then please listen, the first song is "Adolescent Syndrome", this is our original song."

Just as Shinohara Rika's voice fell, the lights on the stage became dim.

"and many more!"

"Excuse me!"

Sakuraba Chiyuki and the rushing Xiyuanji Akino spoke at the same time.

Of course, Xiyuanji Akino's voice was louder.

The road that Xiyuanji Akino came from was quickly vacated, nothing else, just because his current situation is a bit horrible.

The school trousers of the uniform were frayed, and the arm was severely scratched when it hit the ground. Although it was wrapped in a tissue to prevent it from dripping down, it still looked very leaky.

No one would be willing to take the initiative to approach the blood.

Xienji Akino smiled at the audience who gave way to the surrounding audience, and then walked forward quickly with a guitar bag on his back, just in time to meet Sakuraba Chiyuki at the front of the stage, but Xienji Akino didn't notice her at all.

But Sakuraba Qianxue was stunned.

"I'm sorry, everyone. I ran into a problem on the road and was delayed. Now it's just in time. Let's start the performance?" Xiyuanji Akino quickly opened the guitar bag, took out the guitar and hung it on his body, regardless of his appearance If not, start tuning.

"Senior, why don't you go and bandage it up...?"

Ichiri Asaba and Tsukiyama Dong also looked at him at the same time, their eyes were full of concern rather than blame.

Xiyuanji Akino shook his head, "Compared to this, the performance is more important, right? This is your first livehouse performance. Everyone has put in so much effort for this, right?"

"Let's start." The young man's peaceful voice has great power, just like himself, when he sees it, he will immediately find that stable sense of peace of mind. Even though he is a little embarrassed now, it does not affect this in the slightest.

In the eyes of others, he may be embarrassed, funny, and miserable, but in the eyes of Asaba.

The him who suddenly appeared just now, the one who walked out of the crowd, was like the "hero" he was pursuing in his dream.

Incomparably powerful, yet incomparably gentle...

This time, I didn’t introduce the piece to be played again. I just waited for Akino Nishizono to give Rika Shinohara a look, and the music officially started!
It starts with the drums, then the guitars, and the notes shine like stars piercing the night.

When he was about to enter the verse, Akino Saizono looked at Ichisato Asaba.

After Asaba Ichiri exchanged glances with him, he immediately sang into the microphone.

【Like dark and narrow places, like in a deeply covered hood】

This song is tailor-made for me, that's what Senior Xiyuanji said...

【Hate the heartless world in my eyes but hopelessly want love】

I used to have some negative thoughts like this, but after meeting my seniors, everything changed...

[I like to be wet in the rain because it fits my gloomy face]

Although I don't like getting wet, but... since the senior wrote so, maybe I can try it?Maybe I actually like it?
【Pretending to be afraid of the storm and waiting for the sky to break】

It always feels so heavy, but this seems to be me... the dark me inside...

but…

Even the dark me, the dull me, with the help of my seniors, I have come to the present step by step. I have done many, many things that I never dared to think about before, and I have seen many scenery that I have never seen before. .

On stage, practice room, part-time oden restaurant, commercial street...

Before I knew it, my range of movement was no longer school, home, two points and one line...

I'm no longer who I used to be...

me now...

The bass has laid the groundwork, and when the lead guitarist Akino Nishizono evokes the first note, it is the moment when the chorus explodes!
[Play it!Let the thunder roar with the fuzz of light! 】

Now I am different from before!

As if roaring in her heart, powerful energy erupted from Asaba Ichiri's delicate body, her voice and lyrics were completely integrated together, and all voices became an outlet for her emotions.

[Ring it!What about the pain ahead! Respond with this violent and ferocious heartbeat! 】

In just one and a half minutes, the combined performance of singing, playing and playing made the audience stunned.

This is different from what they imagined. They originally thought that the band formed by the junior high school students was just for fun, and only the relatives of the store manager were eligible to participate in this livehouse performance.

After all, this is the last performance of the closed livehouse, and its commemorative value is very great, so so many bands come to audition and review, even if they have to pay out of their own pockets to participate.

Immediately afterwards, Asaha Ichiri fully grasped the feeling of immersion. While coordinating with the rest of the band, she sang herself and looked for herself in the lyrics.

Such a performance that puts everything into it can be counted as a performance!

...

Sakuraba Qianxue, who was going to help out under the stage, listened to the song, and was dazed for a moment when she saw this almost perfect performance in her opinion.

She thought about their performance during the audition before. At that time, their cooperation was not proficient, their hearts were not in harmony, and more importantly, their playing level was not at the same level at all.

But in this short period of one week, they have made such progress, and now they are not inferior to the previous band they saw in the audition stage.

Everyone is making progress, but you are standing still?

She originally thought that she has the attribute bonus of the lead singer, which is quite important in this band. If she went up to rescue the scene just now and succeeded, she might be able to join everyone again...

only now it seems...

My own existence is completely dispensable...

For Sakuraba Chiyuki, the meaning of her existence in the band may be her last life-saving straw, but now the reality tells her again, and it hits her again when she is in a relaxed mood.

After the end of the band, without her, the performance could be better. Her existence, her so-called efforts before, are actually useless at all.

Compared with Akino Xiyuanji who was playing heartily on the stage, she was nothing at all...

Sakuraba Qianxue lowered her head slowly, her expression once again clouded with haze.

...

After the end of the youth syndrome, it is the second song, if turned into a constellation.

This song was sung by Rika Shinohara. With her sweet voice and the extremely ambiguous lyrics, many audiences in the audience could smile knowingly.

And Ichisato Asaba, who returned to guitarist, was listening.

【"It's great that you are loved by everyone"】

【"No, I've been alone all this time"】

When she said these two sentences, she could think of the scene where Akino Xiyuanji told her that the two of them were actually the same.

Is this a metaphor for something?
【If I can meet with you and turn into a constellation】

【A fleeting wish on a starry night】

【Promise to the flickering signal shaking and trembling in the air】

Together they turned into constellations... Ichisato Asaba played while turning her head to take a sneak peek at Akino of Saiyuanji.

【If I can meet with you and turn into a constellation】

If only I could...

【I want to be the constellation that others point to when looking up at the starry sky】

I want to turn into a constellation that you can see...

【Please don't untie the thread that connects you and me】

【No matter how dazzling I am】

Hearing this sentence, Asaha Ichiri couldn't help turning her head, and looked directly at Akino Xiyuanji, and Akino Xiyuanji just happened to raise her head to meet her gaze.

Just the intersection of eyes makes Asaba Ichisato's heart beat faster and faster...

You are as dazzling as a hero, can I also look directly at you and get close to you?

As soon as the ten seconds were up, Asagi quickly looked away. She was already confused by the thoughts exploding in her mind. Any errors occurred.

I will never forget the last song. Relatively speaking, this song does not have so much emotion, because it is completely Yangjiao's personal perception, and it does not correspond to Ichiri Asaba, so her singing is also very ordinary, and she can only sing. It is said that it barely passed, but after the first two songs laid the groundwork, everyone is quite satisfied with the end now.

The audience who were not optimistic at first sang the last line in Asaba, and when the guitar, bass and drums stopped playing together, there was thunderous applause and applause immediately!
"Very good! Great show! End the band, I will remember your names!"

"I want to participate in more livehouse performances in the future! It's really great!"

"Pink-haired girl, you sing very well!"

"That handsome guy who bleeds! You play really well too!"

"Blue-haired sister, I'm going completely crazy for you!!"

"Lixiang!!!"

Seeing the enthusiastic response from the audience, the three girls in the band all felt as if they were in another world.

The last time they performed in the commercial street, they performed so badly that no one would spontaneously applaud or praise them except for the encouragement of some acquaintances.

But now...

Everything is different now!
It turns out that being loved and praised by others is such a feeling...

Panting, Shinohara Rika looked at Yue Shandong, showing a very happy and satisfied smile.

Yue Shandong also twitched the corners of his mouth coolly.

And Ichisato Asaba continued to peek at Akino Saienji, and whenever Akino Saienji smiled back, she turned her head at the speed of light and dared not look at it.

Asahi couldn't hear the applause and cheers from the outside world at all, she could only hear her own heartbeat increasing and the feeling of getting more and more difficult to breathe...

What's wrong…

I...why I'm still so far away from Senior Xiyuan Temple, I can't stand it anymore?

I'm so strange...

Seeing that the performance ended smoothly, Akino Xiyuanji breathed a sigh of relief, and then followed the three girls who had finished the band back to the rest room.
