Chapter 250 Before the band performance, a heart-to-heart talk with Tianhai Qimingyue
At first, Kambara thought that most of the people who played rock music were those with colorful punk hairstyles, black leather clothes, iron chains and metal ornaments all over their bodies. However, as Kambara gradually understood this circle,
Only then did I realize that it was just the stereotype of ordinary people about rock and roll. A T-shirt, a coat, and at most a beret were just ordinary people wearing nothing special on the street. p>
There were three bands participating in this livehouse, and most of the others were duos or solo singers. The time started at 7 pm and ended at about 2:30 am. During the rehearsal, Kanbara paid more attention, as
As Miss Mi Dahui said, the only band that attended as high school students was Runto, which was just formed. The other bands were all from society, and there was also a band with an average age of 50 years old.
As the official performance approached, all the band members sat around in the preparation room to rest and chat.
Kagura Raku and several others were sitting in the far left corner of the preparation room.
"Brother, brother." Kanbaru Suzu lowered her voice and leaned close to Kanbaru's ear, her eyes constantly peeking to the other side.
"What to do?" Kanbaru answered while holding the bass, while continuing to put his fingers on the strings, recalling the part of the rhythm he was responsible for.
Kambara Suzu kept looking at the other bands who were talking and laughing, and lowered her voice in Kambara's ear and said: "I feel like they all know each other."
Kambara looked down at his fingers and replied nonchalantly: "Isn't it normal for people who play music in the same place to get to know each other?"
"Normal...normal is normal, but bro, do you ever feel that we are being left out and excluded? They just communicate with a bunch of people, and they don't even take us with them!"
"No, a captain came to say hello to me just now."
"Really? Why didn't I see you chatting with them?"
"It's just a matter of saying hello and getting to know each other."
"Hey, isn't this being left out in the cold?"
"You are too sensitive..."
Kanbaru Raku also knew what his sister was thinking. She just felt awkward being in a place with a bunch of people she didn’t know at all.
How should I describe this feeling? It's probably like going on a group tour and you find that everyone knows everyone except you. They are chatting enthusiastically and having fun. It's just that you can't get into the conversation at all. Even the tour guide is there.
I forgot about you when collecting statistics.
As Kagamihara said, if you don't pay attention to it, you will be at ease alone.
But Ah Ling doesn’t seem to like this feeling.
Senior loner Tianhai Qi Mingyue spoke at this time: "It's normal not to take the initiative to talk. Regardless of whether you have heard of our band or not, in terms of age and the school uniforms we are wearing, they are a group of adults.
It’s also hard to find a topic to talk about with us high school students.”
Kanbaru couldn't help but said: "Miss Qiyue, you are the most powerful among us. You also have an investment foundation. When you join the company, the boss will take the initiative to welcome you.
."
His subtext is that Qi Mingyue is definitely not an ordinary high school student. When she communicates with adults, there are many topics.
"What my brother said is very good, but please note that what I am talking about now is 'we'. And work is work. If you ask me to talk about the depression of life with that group of people, I will not be able to empathize with you at all."
"There may be a reason why our band has not been recognized yet." Tianhai Jiuliuli, who touched his lips to the mug next door, raised his head and said.
"After all, there are no results, so that's natural." Kambara nodded.
"You've never heard of our band's name at all!" Kambara Suzu raised a hand.
"..."
Everyone was silent, and there was indeed no one looking forward to their performance on stage.
Sure enough, as soon as we talked about this, the atmosphere became inexplicably heavy. I kept thinking about how the band performed and how the audience would evaluate them.
If the performance on this thousand-person stage fails, the audience will probably give thumbs up, boo, tell them to leave the stage, and demand refunds for their tickets?
This can simply make their band quit the rock music circle directly, and then seal the instruments like sealing monsters!
"Hmph~~"
At this time, Kanbaru Suzu suddenly spoke, her confident look breaking the slightly solemn atmosphere. She put her hands on her hips and raised her mouth:
"But, actually, we have fans who come to the scene, maybe more than other bands."
Kanbaru rolled his eyes and said, "We are a small band that has not uploaded any songs online yet. Where do we get the fans?"
Kanbaru Suzu waved her hand, full of confidence: "Brother is superficial! You have forgotten who I am! After all, I am a big voice with hundreds of thousands of fans!"
Regardless of the fact that her "hundreds of thousands" is actually only "more than 100,000", it is true that with the last work, A Ling does have a high reputation on the Internet.
Her identity is a voice actress and short video blogger.
When Kanhara Raku occasionally watches videos, he will see the simple short videos posted by A Suzu with millions of likes.
The guys who commented were all like "Ah ah ah, Suzu-chan is cute!", "Suzu-chan, feed me some cake!", "Suzu-chan, can you reveal the character you will be dubbing in the next movie?"
,[Why don’t Suzuchan Suzuchan post more videos, she’s so cute!] Fans like this speak.
Wait a minute, plus her own short video account, it seems that she really has hundreds of thousands of fans...
Kanbaru touched his chin and his eyes lit up: "You mean, you called your own fans over to cheer us up?"
"Humph~ I still gave notice a few days in advance. I posted updates on Twitter and TikTok. Fans have long known that I was in a rock band recently. Just now I learned that there is a live broadcast on this stage.
I took advantage of the free time to post two more updates. There are probably fans waiting in the live broadcast room now. Brother, you can check it out on your phone."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Let me see."
Kambara took out her mobile phone, found the stage live broadcast website that she knew from Miss Mido before, and came to the live broadcast room. There were not many people in the live broadcast room, but after glancing at the comment area, she did find that there were many enthusiastic viewers who supported [runto].
Indicated that he was already there and asked when it would start.
Of course, more people are still asking when they can see Ling. It makes them seem like the main band at this time.
[When does it start?], [What is the rank of the runto?], [I heard that they are going to cover Suzu-chan’s recent anime op, is that true?]
A barrage of comments related to my small band flashed across the phone screen.
Not only was the previous inexplicable pressure gone, but a passion to do my best to perform well also emerged in my heart.
[Come on!]
I will encourage myself like this in my heart.
"Hey, how are you, bro? Doesn't it feel good to have someone's support?"
Kambara put away her phone, "I finally understand why you are so tired of being a voice actor, but you still have to persevere. The feeling of having someone supporting you really gives you a lot of confidence."
"Is this a great achievement?"
"We'll have a big dinner when we get home!"
"I want to eat grilled steak!"
"Eat!"
As time goes by, more and more people come to the underground stage. Kambara, who is located in the preparation room on the second floor, can already see the thousands of spectators below who are about to fill the entire huge underground space. People are passing through,
Most of them gathered in front of the bar on the right under the lights. Some ordered to buy fruit wine, some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, some wore headscarves with the singer's name on them, and held unlit light sticks in both hands, waiting for the official performance.
Start.
An inexplicable feeling is brewing in the atmosphere of the music festival.
Kanbaru Raku was holding the iron railing on the second floor and looking into the distance. He could only see a dark crowd under the lights of the steel frame above his head.
The scale of a thousand people was far greater than he imagined.
He even saw someone holding an LED support sign with the word [Suzuki] written on it.
This couldn't help but make Kanbara smile knowingly.
Ah Ling has really become a little idol...
"Everyone from runto."
The visitor was Miss Mi Duohui, who was in charge of the on-site co-ordination work. She came to the preparation room and called everyone in school uniforms together.
"Before performing, I first need to confirm your position, and the staff will move your instruments up later."
Kanbaru discussed with everyone for a while, and there was no doubt that the lead singer A Ling and the lead guitarist Zhiyuki must be in the front C position. Although the drummer Qi Mingyue is in the back, there is a high platform and the position is also very conspicuous.
Jiu Liuli and Kanhara Le are the two guardians of the band, and they are responsible for polishing the music on both sides.
After informing Miss Mi Duohui of the location, she put away her workbook and said to everyone with a smile:
"Don't you feel any pressure?"
Kanbaru Raku: "There will definitely be pressure, but it's not a big problem."
"In that case, well, come on, everyone! You are the fourth guest to appear, which is also a very important time."
......
The show time is approaching, and the singers in front have already created a warm atmosphere above the stage, with loud music and a lively atmosphere. On the stage, the singers in gorgeous costumes sing songs enthusiastically, with exciting beats accompanied by cheerful melody, dazzling
The lights shone on the microphone he held high, and a blast of rock rhythm made the audience cheer.
Even Kanbaru Raku, who was in the preparation room on the second floor, could feel the vibrations on the floor.
He put his hands on the guardrail and watched the enthusiastic response from the audience.
Tianhai Qimingyue came to his side and looked at the crowd below with him.
"Speaking of which, Qi Mingyue, why do you rarely play the violin? Jiu Liuli will take time to practice piano even on Saturdays and Sundays. And you basically just read books at school and never brought the violin to school.
”
"What do you think, brother?"
"You and Jiuliuli were both called talented girls at the beginning, right? But according to the reviews I found on the Internet, Jiuliuli was always slightly better. Compared to you, everyone praised Jiuliuli's peerless talent more.
”
......
It was quiet for a while.
"No matter how shining a star is, it can only serve as a foil next to another star that shines brighter." Tianhai Qimingyue said calmly, "I said it a long time ago, my sister can actually do it.
Violin, as for why I am not in charge of the piano, I believe brother you probably have the answer in your own mind."
"Alas." Kanbaru understood and sighed.
To put it bluntly, Qi Mingyue has always been setting off Jiu Liuli, and Qi Mingyue is just uncomfortable.
July definitely has its own pride.
Even though I respect my sister in my heart, I still have some reluctance to admit defeat.
Instead of always supporting my sister, it’s better to quit as soon as possible.
Looking back at Kanbaru Raku as a child, I can better understand the origin of Qimingyue’s unwillingness to admit defeat.
Because my aunt has devoted most of her resources to Jiuliuli since she was a child, whether it is education or care, her focus has always been on Jiuliuli.
But what are seven and nine?
They are twins who are only five minutes apart and have been closely connected since childhood!
Such differential treatment will definitely neglect Qiyue, and will definitely make her feel sad and uncomfortable, and give rise to a sense of loss that she is not as good as her sister... which indirectly leads to Qiyue's desire to win over Liuli in the future.
.
Qi Mingyue did not have the light to support her when she was a child.
It just so happened that Kanbaru Raku when he was a child was the beam of light that led Qimingyue forward.
Nowadays, my sister has to compete with her for the remaining light, which is why Qi Mingyue seems so unconvinced and uncompromising.
Even though Qi Mingyue has all kinds of foresight, her heart has always been extremely uneasy.
This is the reason why she always wants to consolidate her position and why she likes Kanbaru and takes the initiative to kiss her.
Everything stems from her inner uneasiness.
"Shichi Mingyue." Kamigahara shouted to the girl next to him.
"What?" Tianhai Qimingyue replied calmly without any expression.
"I want you to feel safe in me."
Tianhai Qimingyue answered him with some contempt: "I don't know if it's because your emotional intelligence has become higher recently. You have brought back your inexplicable self-confidence before. But you feel that it's okay to lie to my sister, but you can't lie to me.
Used it."
"A knife-like mouth, a tofu heart." Kanhara looked at her side face with flaxen hair hanging down.
"Why do you say that?" Tianhai Qimingyue tucked the hair behind her ear.
"Since you don't want to feel safe from me, why do you keep asking me to kiss you?"
"I'm just enjoying the pleasure of stealing things from my sister."
"That's not the case."
The seven bright moons in the sky and the sea turned away.
"July."
"If you say no, it's not."
"July."
"No matter how much you say...wait, why are you pulling me?"
"Come with me."
Kambara pulled her to the second underground floor, into a dressing room next to the preparation room. There was no one here and the space was quite small.
He took the initiative to push Tianhai Qimingyue Bidong against the wall and put his hand next to her face.
The sky-blue eyes as deep as the ice ocean of Tianhai Qimingyue reflected his appearance. The girl had an expressionless face, leaning against the wall, her face slightly turned to the right, and she glanced at his arm that was supporting her shoulders. p>
"I have become a lot tougher recently." Tianhai Qimingyue's voice was still very calm.
"Seven Bright Moons."
Kambara's serious voice brought her eyes back to the front. She found that he was very close and his eyes were staring at her.
"What...do you want to do?"
"Are you not scared anymore?" Kanbaru asked, staring at her.
"No, I know you won't do anything to me." Tianhai Qimingyue met his gaze openly at Chi Chi.
Their eyes met and stared at each other.
Kagura took the initiative to kiss her on the mouth, and Tianhai Qimingyue subconsciously pushed his chest with both hands, but before she could exert any force, he suddenly left again.
"What did you do suddenly?"
"I like you, July."
"Then?" Tianhai Qimingyue pursed her lips that had just been kissed, "You suddenly kissed me?"
"You like this, don't you?"
Tianhai Qimingyue did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.
"But...Qi Mingyue, I don't like you wholeheartedly. I understand that I also like Jiuliuli."
"So?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't like hearing this very much, and the dull expression on her face became even colder.
"So I have no way to give up Jiu Liuli." Shen Yuanle continued to say seriously, "I know I'm sorry for you, but I'm sorry, I really can't let go of Jiu Liuli. You hate me and hate me, and that's what you should do.
After all, I am such a scumbag. But there is only one thing I will not give up, that is, I will not give up loving you, Qi Mingyue."
"Don't you think this is ridiculous? And you are kidnapping me based on your love."
"It's ridiculous, but I have no choice. As I said yesterday, I am not kidnapping you, but asking you... July... If you really can't accept it, I
I can completely understand that I will try to get you back. Whether you agree or not is definitely your own choice, Qi Mingyue.
"Qiyue, I understand that you love me. But I'm sorry, I can only give you half of my love. Do you... accept it?"
Tianhai Qimingyue did not answer any more.
He has made it very clear that his love for him is not all, and it is his own choice to leave or stay.
If he wants to leave, he will try to stay, and he will try to pursue it. As for whether he agrees to stay, that is his own choice.
Tianhai Qimingyue was not afraid, but met his gaze and said softly:
"Scumbag."
"Yes." Kanbaru agreed.
"Maybe one day I will stab you in the back with a hatchet."
"This is the right you should have."
"It's obviously your fault, but now you want to put the choice of whether to stay or go in my hands."
"I feel ashamed of you in July, so even if you leave, I will try to find you."
"Based on your status and attitude towards me at this time?"
"I like you, July."
Kagura Raku had no choice. There was really no way to deal with this situation. All he could do was to try to express his feelings and ask for her forgiveness in Qiyue.
He continued to look at Xiang Tianhai Qimingyue's slightly emotional eyes, waiting for her answer.
If she agrees, it means that she is willing to accept Kambara's current ideas.
If she refuses, Kanbaru will still try to pursue her back.
......
"Is it necessary to talk about this now?"
"It's not necessary, but I suddenly understood a lot of things just now. It's not inappropriate to ask now, so... Qi Mingyue, what's your answer?"
......
......
After Tianhai Qimingyue was silent for a long time, she withdrew her eyes from looking at him, pushed him away and walked aside, folded her arms, turned her back to him and closed her eyes and said:
"...Okay, do you want to perform the next performance well? Haven't you been looking forward to this scene?"
"You... agreed?" Kambara looked at her back in a Western-style school uniform, not knowing whether he should be happy or not.
"I didn't say I agreed."
"July...don't be so harsh at this time."
"I'm not being harsh...but I suddenly had another idea."
"What?"
"The first time must be with me."
"..."
Amami Qimingyue's words were not fluent, and Kagawa Raku could probably see the awkwardness in her heart from the back of her arms. It seemed that... she didn't like to say such things seriously. Of course she was joking casually.
, but obviously, she was serious at this time.
"...Why do you suddenly bring this up?"
"Are you shy?" Tianhai Qimingyue turned her back to him and asked.
"Huh? I thought it was gone."
"Admit it, I won't laugh at you. After all, you are just a virgin." After Tianhai Qi Mingyue finished speaking, she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.
"...It sounds like you have a lot of experience. Besides, this is not something worthy of praise. Why did the topic suddenly get to this point!"
"Let me ask you whether you agree or not."
"...You will agree if I promise?"
"I might agree if I reluctantly do so, but it's impossible now."
Qi Mingyue gave an ambiguous answer.
Kagawa Raku also heard what she meant, but no matter how you put it, this is also the condition for her to soften her attitude... Although this condition is very shameful...
"...Then I will promise...forget it..."
"Forget it? Why do you have to add the calculation? Are you uncomfortable being with me?"
Kanbaru felt uncomfortable all over now and sighed: "It's just a modal particle. Anyway, I just... agreed..."
"Okay, that's it, I'm going back."
After Amami Qimingyue said these words, Kanbaru watched her leave the locker room with his own eyes. The girl seemed to be fleeing the scene as quickly as possible.
Kagura Raku's head was still very messy at this time. After all, Qi Mingyue suddenly brought up that matter...
At first glance, it seems quite outrageous. Why do you say this so suddenly?!
But after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Tianhai Qimingyue’s request is not unreasonable.
She understood that as long as she did something like that to her, with her own character, there was absolutely no way she could not be responsible for her.
There is also some desire to win over Jiuliuli.
After all, she still doesn't have the sense of security that she will win in front of Jiuliuli.
