Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Page 143

On the contrary, a feeling I had never experienced before arose in Lixi's chest.

That is "expectation".

Before the intro could even begin, Lixi's gaze fell upon the figure standing behind the lamp—a figure that was a nightmare to her.

Toyokawa Shoko.

...Is this another piece she composed?

Compared to...my arrangement of "Walking with the Blue Sky"...

Whether the distance between him and her has widened or narrowed will be revealed in the next song.

But Lixi discovered that, compared to the competitive spirit she felt at that moment... the song itself brought her a much greater sense of excitement.

Deng said this was a song written for her by everyone in Crychic.

...crychic, she's different from that guy Su Shi. To be honest, that name didn't resonate with me that much.

But... at the moment when the image reflected on her cornea slightly overlapped with her memory, her heart began to race uncontrollably.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

crychic... no, is it [crychic！！！！]?

In other words, it lacks its own interpretation...

Ai-yin only puts so much effort into things like this... With her mediocre skills, she actually dares to go up there and make a fool of herself.

I'll teach her a good lesson later...

Light: "He's a servant,

What is something I am capable of accomplishing?

わからないけれど

Although we don't know yet.

Deng's singing voice was as clear and bright as ever, and just like before, she would infuse every lyric with an emotion that was hard to ignore... This was also what Lixi envied most about Deng.

Emotions that are difficult to express in words can be conveyed through singing...

Crowd: "OhOhOh...OhOhOh——"

It's not unusual to add other people's harmonies to the arrangement; this effectively enriches the layers of the music. Xiangzi had already demonstrated this to her once in "Spring Shadow," so Lixi remembered it very clearly.

If she were to write this song, "Nameless," she would probably do the same.

Light: "Obviously on the way to the かうじゃない,

No, I am not on my way to any place.

Today’s servant is the same as the day before yesterday.

I am different today.

The lamp's mindset has changed significantly since the last time it was here for the sake of others.

The content explored in "Shiori" is about protecting one's own contradictions and vulnerabilities amidst the confusion between "ordinary" and "taken for granted".

What "Nameless" wants to express is simpler and purer.

It's just something I wanted to say to "you".

Chapter 222 Your Choice?

If one person shouts alone, their strength is insufficient to shake the entire gloomy sky above...

Su&Light "foot りない何かをquest めてくより,

Rather than searching for something missing,

Servant of the child,

I want to live my true self.

The ideal is far away and the current one is sensitive.

I'd rather focus on the sensitive present than on distant ideals.

Su Shi's singing voice is very gentle

But it wasn't the kind of feigned gentleness they usually displayed.

In this present state, unlike before, she no longer needs to please anyone to gain a sense of presence.

Maintaining her current small happiness is all she wants.

She is no longer the bassist of Crychic, but everyone's Motoyo Nagasaki.

Now that they've reunited, they won't repeat the mistakes of Crychic.

Lamp: "ほんのCOUNT SECONDSでアーカイブされて,

It was archived in just a few seconds.

になってくその前に,

Before it becomes the past—

Frenzied drumbeats, unsettling drumbeats

The act of striking released a massive amount of emotion, both negative and positive, allowing Lixi to find a long-lost resonance within it.

With each lick of the drumstick onto the drumhead, my chest vibrated in unison, faster than the rhythm itself, leaving the whole world behind. Nothing mattered, nothing needed to be considered.

No need to chase after anyone's shadow, no need to think.

All you need to do is put in your best effort and show your full potential.

Lixi really liked this drumbeat.

She really found her place in this drum set arrangement.

...Is this Xiangzi's arrangement? Sure enough, it's still as excellent as before, almost too good to look at.

Light: "The servant sees the sky today, the sky is bright,

The sky I see today shines brilliantly.

Who is it?

I want to subtly inform someone of its existence.

Beautiful and beautiful, beautiful and tired,

Because overly vibrant colors can make people feel tired.

そのままを英していたい,

Therefore, the hope is to reflect it without embellishment.

Who is the servant?

"With my mediocre and unproductive life!"

We, who struggle to survive under this blue sky, are inherently vulnerable creatures.

Even this dazzling sky can become blinding if you look at it for too long.

But when the noise subsides and all is quiet, the sky is still that same blue sky, as vast and boundless as ever, even without the adornment of sunlight.

The sky sung about in "Walking with the Blue Sky" and "Silent Name" is so bright and gentle.

It wasn't because of the sun, but because of the starlight.

There are so many things I want to say to "that person," but I could never finish them all in just one song.

So, will you continue this journey with me?

I want to sing it to you little by little.

Mu&Light:

"ちょうどよく笑って,

Showing just the right amount of smile,

「それ分かる」とか,

Saying things like "I understand,"

なぜうまく言えないんだろう，

Why can't we express ourselves frankly?

The original processing method is the processing method,

If this genuine emotion is not embellished...

「みんな」にはなれないみたい,

I seem unable to become "everyone."

Ruoye Mu seems to know everything; she can see the root of everyone's problems.

But no one ever asks her, and even if they did, her poor communication skills would lead people to misunderstand her meaning.

Li Xi is the same in this respect.

The difference is that one of them chose to isolate herself, while the other persisted in this awkwardness and tried to prove it through her actions.

They are strong in spirit, yet weak in expression.

They were truly in the same boat.

But the situation now seems to have changed.

On stage, Little Cucumber, who was singing loudly with her mouth wide open without any regard for her image, seemed to have long since lost her indifferent and dull demeanor from the karaoke bar, and had truly become a human being capable of expressing emotions.

Mu seemed to be very happy today, and her faint yet pure smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

—See? I can laugh as I please now.

What about you?

Xiang & Lamp:

"たったひとつのアカウントじゃ片せないように,

A single account cannot identify a person.

いくつもの布をもっているけど,

Even though I have many different sides,

どこにもいないそんな気取ち,

I can't find this kind of feeling anywhere else.

We are life forms existing in a three-dimensional world.

Therefore, our world is wonderful, and the wonder of each life is different.

But among such a diverse array of creatures, only the human emotional system is the most developed.

Under these conditions, we are among the few beings who can rely on our acquired abilities to overcome our innate nature.

Is it really the right choice to casually discard the weak and timid side of one's nature and build oneself into a seemingly indestructible fortress?

I couldn't understand it before, and perhaps for a long time to come, I still won't be able to find the right answer to this complex question—I probably won't become a philosopher.

Therefore, there has never been a truly flawless genius, nor is there a mediocre person in the world who is utterly useless.

Everyone will find their place, and everyone will live a different life.

When we meet again at the finish line, may we still be able to share a drink and have a good time, my friend.

Then--

combine:

"The songs I hum,"

No one understands it, but it truly exists here.
