Nagasaki Motoyo showed no intention of resisting and mechanically followed Bai Qiu.
He had promised Ruoye Mu, so he should at least make sure to get her home safely.
Another day of doing good deeds.
Bai Qiu thought to himself.
After finding an empty spot, ignore Nagasaki Motoyo for now.
Bai Qiu was the first to open the bass bag and check if the bass had gotten wet in the heavy rain.
This is my partner who's been fighting alongside me all day!
Kita's bass bag is clearly waterproof; although the outside of the bag was a little damp, no water seeped into the inside.
The bass still felt dry and cold to the touch.
Bai Qiu casually flicked the strings twice with her fingers.
The deep bass sound echoed, proving that the bass was in good condition.
Put the bass aside.
Bai Qiu found a tissue, first handed it to Nagasaki Motoyo, and then advised:
"Giving it to me doesn't have to make me this upset."
Nagasaki Motoyo did not react at all, still looking lost in thought.
Bai Qiu rolled her eyes, took back the tissue, and first dried herself off from the rain.
You must be feeling bad.
After a while, Bai Qiu continued to ask:
Do you need some tissues?
Bai Qiu shook her head inwardly, realizing she was too soft-hearted.
Nagasaki Motoyo still didn't react.
Bai Qiu said, "Please pay attention to me, otherwise people will think I'm bullying you."
Seeing her like this, Bai Qiu doubted whether she could safely return home without her help.
Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been crying and soaked in the rain, had a pale face and her hair was stuck haphazardly to her face.
Bai Qiu stuffed the paper into her hand and reminded her:
You look terrible right now.
Nagasaki Motoyo's lips moved slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, she said:
"I told you not to worry about me."
"Ah, you spoke." Bai Qiu was slightly pleased. "How could I ignore you?"
It's good that you can speak.
I'm afraid she'll keep it all bottled up and never say anything, because that could easily lead her to do something foolish.
Nagasaki Motoyo said in a low voice, "They're all gone."
"Well..."
Bai Qiu pondered for a moment.
"Wakaba-san has something to do, so I'm asking for your help."
"I won't just wander off anywhere."
"Yeah……"
A semblance of clarity seemed to return to Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes.
Bai Qiu would definitely nod, since it's on our way home.
"So hurry up and wipe it off."
Nagasaki Motoyo twitched her fingers, and finally raised her hand to slowly wipe the water off her body and tidy her hair.
Seeing this, Bai Qiu seized the opportunity and said:
"Actually, I think Toyokawa-kun is right. We should look forward."
"Hmm... but what she said was a bit harsh."
"Next time I'll put in a good word for her with you."
To Bai Qiu, it sounded like Toyokawa Shoko meant she wanted to completely sever ties with Nagasaki Motoyo.
It terrified everyone.
Upon hearing Bai Qiu's words, Nagasaki Motoyo stopped what she was doing and suddenly said:
"You're not allowed to say anything bad about Saki-chan!"
"You're not allowed to bully Xiangzi either!"
"Huh?" Bai Qiu was surprised, then said irritably, "I'm speaking up for you!"
"I could never really bully her."
“Then…” Nagasaki Motoyo paused, her tone softening, “then you can’t slander Shoko…”
Bai Qiu said speechlessly, "Xiangzi, Xiangzi, you like her so much, why don't you go and be with her?"
Nagasaki Motoyo grunted.
"Since you like bands so much, how about forming another one?" Bai Qiu asked.
"Let's form another one?"
"Yes, to form a new band."
"Crychic is irreplaceable!"
Nagasaki Motoyo responded to the situation.
Nothing is irreplaceable.
"Crychic is irreplaceable!"
"Crychic is it!"
"Okay, then."
Aiyin, it seems you have a long way to go as bassist and drummer.
Bai Qiu shook his head and complained.
"You really have nothing but crychic on your mind."
Nagasaki Motoyo turned her head away, looking somewhat unhappy.
My mind is just full of crychic, so what?
Reassemble it—it's easy to say.
Those who haven't experienced the beauty of crychic won't understand crychic.
All she wants is crychic, and she only wants to form a band with crychic people.
That will not change!
Chapter 70 Playing Kasuga Shadows in Front of Nagasaki Motoyo
The rain poured down relentlessly, pattering and splashing against the rails.
Fortunately, the two of them were not affected by the rain.
The wait for the tram was so boring.
Everyone around me is passing the time by playing on their phones.
Nagasaki Motoyo, whose mental state had improved slightly, also noticed that she was feeling unwell.
She exuded a damp feeling from head to toe—her hair, skirt, shoes, socks…
This made Nagasaki Motoyo frown.
There was nothing she could do; she had just gotten soaked in the rain.
I don't know when the rain will stop, I don't know when the tram will come, and I don't know when I'll be able to get home.
Bai Qiu, standing to the side, picked up her bass guitar, intending to play it casually to pass the time.
Seeing Bai Qiu holding the bass, Nagasaki Suze's expression shifted slightly, but she quickly controlled herself and ignored it.
I just said some bad things about Crychic, so I don't want to strike up a conversation with them anytime soon.
But isn't he a keyboardist?
Why did they switch to bass again?
Could it be that he found keyboards were actually too difficult to learn and gave up halfway through to switch to bass?
That's true, after all, not everyone is as capable as Xiao Xiang.
But don't assume that playing bass is simple.
If I sincerely ask myself for advice later, I'll say a few nice things about Crychic.
She could certainly offer some guidance.
Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was letting her mind wander and imagine the possibilities.
Bai Qiu began to play.
Since I couldn't think of anything else to play, I decided to replay the piece I played during today's roadshow.
Having practiced it once during the day, Bai Qiu is now quite proficient.
The sound of raindrops was mixed with a low bass note.
It has a unique charm, though.
After a while, Bai Qiu stopped.
Seeing that Nagasaki Motoyo was looking at him, he realized that the other person was also a bassist.
Bai Qiu tilted her head and asked:
"How about it?"
"The rain is too heavy, I can't hear you."
Nagasaki Motoyo said casually, but in her heart she felt it was alright.
The other person's bass is brand new; they must not have been learning for very long, which would be amazing.
"Is that right?"
She lied to herself.
Bai Qiu looked slightly disappointed. Couldn't he hear clearly even when he was so close?
However, the sound of rain was indeed very loud.
It's not the bass's fault.
Suddenly, something occurred to me.
Bai Qiu's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
He came up with a good piece of music.
Bai Qiu tried hard to recall.
Fingers and picks began sliding across the bass again.
In order to make sure Nagasaki Motoyo could hear it, Bai Qiu deliberately increased the volume.
The bass melody began softly again.
The familiar melody reached Nagasaki Motoyo's ears.
