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

"You should call me Miaomeng like Yanming does, at least for now, we're companions."

Miaomeng dropped her pretense and gently encouraged Deng like a truly reliable adult, then walked to her seat without looking back.

Holding the microphone, Deng didn't speak immediately. Instead, he scanned the audience, searching for his former friends.

Then she saw the three people hiding in the shadows.

Su Shi, Li Xi, and Mu... everyone's here, and Xiao Xiang too... right behind me.

When the five pieces of Crychic that had been separated were finally reunited under one roof with Yanming's help, Dengxin still felt a sense of unreality and disorientation.

...But now is not the time for her to be distracted.

She has more important things to do, and she absolutely must do them.

More important than herself was... not letting everyone's efforts go to waste.

"……Everyone."

The words, initially trembling, were quickly suppressed as they escaped the girl's lips. Then, a powerful voice emanated from the seemingly frail girl, "Everyone!"

This sound was clearly heard not only by the three people below the stage, but also by Toyokawa Shoko standing behind the lamp.

The lamp is calling to them right now.

Shiina Tatsuki, who reacted most strongly, couldn't help but raise her hand, wanting the other person to see her.

“Taki-chan…I saw it.”

Lixi has always taken good care of herself, so in return, Deng will not disappoint her.

"Everyone."

This shout wasn't as forceful as the previous one; it was directed at all the audience members in the venue who came to watch the live performance, his companions behind him, and the three members of Crychic.

"Before we begin today's performance, I'd like to say a few things to you."

The nature of the lamp is confusion, not cowardice. Once she knows what she is going to do, her ability to act will surpass the world's most advanced engine, reaching a terrifying level of power.

This is her talent, and although this extraordinary talent has always troubled her, it has also enabled her to stand here and speak with extraordinary courage and boldness:

"My former band disbanded for some unavoidable reasons, and we were no longer able to play together."

"Back then... I did nothing, and I regret it so much... If I could go back to that day, I would at least say something to try and stop them..."

"But time cannot be reversed, just as things that are broken cannot be started anew without any cracks..."

“These days, I’ve been asking myself, what else can I say, what else can I do after the band breaks up?”

"...I don't play any musical instruments, nor do I have the determination to do anything...Without the help of my friends, I wouldn't even be able to see you all again...So, I cherish this opportunity very much."

"I want you to hear 'my' songs."

In Xiangzi's arrangement, the prelude to "Kai" is very short.

Just like that spring day when Crychic existed.

It's over in the blink of an eye.

If no one was pushing her from behind, the light would probably fall again...

The second after the MC ended, Oblivionis took a deep breath and began to tap the keys of the piano.

Compared to another world, there might exist another version of "Shiori" with a guitar-centric tone.

The keyboard sounds, even more melodious and lively than those of a guitar, convey a completely different mood...

We're here to put an end to this band.

Because of nostalgia, because of love, because of sadness, because we were all once a part of Crychic.

Standing here, we play for so many reasons... but never for the sake of giving up on you.

"What are 'normal' and 'taken for granted'?"

Let's discuss this issue once again...

It's not about finding answers, but about tracing back to the source, finding the origin of it all...

"Did you write this? Although I have friends like everyone else, I still feel alone... Are these lyrics?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Toyokawa Shoko. What's your name?"

"……lamp."

"Student Deng,"

Would you like to form a band with me?

That day, the girl in sky blue's warm smile overshadowed the sunlight outside the window, illuminating the gloom in the lamplight for the first time.

They formed a band, wrote lyrics, and practiced together.

These dreamlike memories are so vivid, as if they happened just yesterday, that they are unforgettable for their owners.

...She will probably never forget Crychic for the rest of her life, so Lamp doesn't want Crychic to make a comeback in this imperfect way.

Nothing can compare to the Crychic of the past, not even the present or the future...

Rather than fearing even worse outcomes after resurrection, it's better to let it remain a true "memory" forever, never to be resurrected... never to shatter the purest, most beautiful, and precious memories in their hearts...

That's what Deng thought, and Xiangzi was on the same side as her.

However, Lamp did not anticipate that his wishful thinking would not take into account everyone in Crychic.

……

【Ichinose (crossed out)】

【Nagasaki Sushi】

The flaxen-haired girl wearing a headband wiped away the tears that welled up in her eyes and put her notebook back into her bag.

"Su Shi, this is your new home!"

"Moon Forest, what's Moon Forest like? It's a school for young ladies."

"but……"

"It's okay! The school uniforms there are so cute, I want to see Su Shi wear them."

"……Um."

"Excuse me, my mother has to go to work... Hello, I'm Nagasaki. Um, about this deal..."

"boom."

"..."

"I'm a little interested in the brass band... Suze-kun, please, could you come with me to check it out?"

"Yes, I was just thinking of going to take a look too."

"That's great!"

"..."

As long as you keep smiling, wear the face they all want to see, and say the words they all want to hear, you can just get by like this...

Everything will be fine then, right?

"Gui'an."

As the days went by, while Nagasaki Motoyo responded to those people with a smile, her fingernails gradually became pitted and unsightly.

Chapter Seventy-Six: Xiangzi Voluntarily Performs "Spring Shadows".

"Mom, I'm so glad I still have Xiaosushi here..."

"Su Shi is like an older sister, she takes good care of people..."

Despite her hypocrisy and disgusting nature, she received unanimous approval from her family and classmates.

Is this happiness?

Is this happiness?

That's really enough...

cheap.

So-called happiness can be easily obtained with just a crafted smile and endless flattery.

so easy.

It's so easy it's nauseating...

Inside the vast, empty mansion, Nagasaki Motoyo desperately choked herself to prevent her contents from surging up.

Such days will continue until that day arrives and marks their end.

"Shigasaki-san?"

"You are……?"

"Are you Nagasaki Motoyo? I'm Toyokawa Shoko from Class C. I'd like to ask you something."

Are you interested in bands?

"……Eh?"

What does this feel like?

Su Shi began to follow the group.

Coffee shops, karaoke rooms, rehearsal rooms, and...

"Crychic is amazing, it's really amazing..."

When everyone else left the stage after their first live performance, only Motoyo Nagasaki was in tears.

If this is happiness, then what about all that I gained through flattery and sycophancy in the past?

After her empty heart was filled with "a happiness unlike any other," Su Shi could never go back.

If her happiness could only be obtained through pleasing and conforming... she would rather choose to please Crychic, the one who made her feel truly "indispensable".

The lamp often gets lost, so I have to take care of her and guide her like an older sister.

Lixi has an inferiority complex, but she hides it with a sharp exterior. So, we subtly affirm and praise her, and help her integrate into the group.

Xiao Mu couldn't quite figure her out, so she treated her with the best of her ability, caring for her and trying her best to maintain a good relationship with her.

Xiao Xiang is gentle and kind, and she's also the founder of Crychic... I'm very grateful to her, so I need to treat her well and be gentle with her in every way.

Everyone's flaws, everyone's likes and dislikes, every little detail about everyone...

Nagasaki Motoyo frantically collected all the information about the Crychic members, stuffed it into her brain, and then desperately tried to show it to each of them in order to gain their favor.

Only in this way will everyone need such a humble and insignificant person as "Nagasaki Motoyo" even more... and won't abandon her like her father did...

But that day, it rained heavily.

So much so that she forgot she could actually cry.

She was unwilling to accept the fact that the band had broken up, so...

Even if Crychic no longer exists in the world.

She is Nagasaki Motoyo, and also the bassist for the band Crychic.

The ghost that lingers over Crychic's corpse will never forget it.

"たったOnce a servant's life.

This is my one and only life.

爱するかどうかは servant sequence.

Whether I love someone or not is up to me.

It's a cup of semen.

But if you do everything you can to survive.
