Chapter 241, My Dearest
After wandering around aimlessly, it was finally time for the LIVE and the four of them followed Akane to the gymnasium.
At this moment, a lot of people have gathered in the gymnasium, and everyone looks full of anticipation.
As the first band came on stage, the audience immediately smiled excitedly, which shows how popular band activities are in this school.
However, despite the popularity, in the eyes of the five members of Arknights, the current level of these bands can only be described as mediocre. After all, they are just the most ordinary high school bands.
"Next up is the final band contestant of the day, let's welcome Lorelai!"
When the audience heard the band's name, their reaction immediately became a little different.
And Xue also showed a serious expression, because this band is composed of her cousin Shiho, her good friend Momoka and Hajime.
After listening for a while, Xue showed a faint smile on her face. She had to admit that their band was indeed something, at least it had reached the edge of professional level.
Soon, Lorelei's performance was coming to an end, and the five members of Arknights quietly left the stage and came to the lounge behind the stage.
Upon seeing the five people arrive, everyone present, except for Himari and Lorelai who had just returned to the lounge to rest, had a puzzled look on their faces.
Especially Akane's classmate in a certain band. She had no idea why Akane brought a classmate she didn't know to the lounge.
Qian saw the girl's confusion and simply smiled mysteriously.
"You'll know in a moment~"
"Well done, all three. I'm sure Jing must have seen your live performance."
Elsewhere, Snow looked at the three Lorelai girls in front of her and chuckled.
"Well, yes, Xiaojing must have seen it."
"Xue, you guys should also work hard."
"...Just wait and see how strong we are."
Xue closed her eyes and chuckled, and in the blink of an eye she had entered the official LIVE state.
Ten minutes later, the five people who had changed their clothes returned to the lounge. It would have been fine if they hadn't come back, but as soon as they came back, the whole lounge exploded.
As we all know, no one who plays in a band doesn’t know Arknights.
"A...Arknights?! Why is Neon's most powerful professional girl band here? Am I seeing things?"
Qian's classmates were all shocked at this moment, and even thought they were dazzled.
"Shiyin dear, you read that right."
Seeing her classmates’ reactions, Qian nodded with satisfaction. Great, I’ve done it.
"You are...Xiao Qian?!!" Seeing Qian with a Roland battle axe slung across her chest and light makeup on, her appearance had changed drastically, Qian's classmates were shocked again.
It turns out that my classmate is Reina, the keyboardist in that legendary band.
"Hey, that's right, I'm the keyboardist of Ark Nights. Surprising, isn't it?~"
"It's more than just a surprise, it's a complete shock. I originally thought you were just an ordinary otaku who likes tokusatsu and anime."
Akane's classmate suppressed his surprise a little and started jokingly.
"That's because I disguised myself well."
"Xia, let's go, it's our turn."
Hearing Xue's voice at the stage entrance, Akane immediately walked over.
……
"Let us welcome today's special guest, the girl band Arknights!!!"
When they heard the name Arknights, the audience who were discussing who the special guest would be immediately quieted down.
When the audience saw that it was indeed the strongest professional girl band coming on stage, they immediately burst into thunderous applause.
"Hi, hi." Qian spoke into the microphone as the protagonist of today.
"Good afternoon everyone, we are the girl band Arknights. I'm sure you're all wondering why we're here?"
It was nothing at first, but after hearing what Qian said, the audience was indeed a little confused. Yes, why did Arknights appear here?
"Hehe, the reason is simple. I'm also a senior in this school. I want to leave an unforgettable memory for the final cultural festival, so I invited my teammates to come here to help."
After saying that, Qian looked at Xue, and Xue understood.
"So without further ado, everyone, let's go above and beyond and perform magnificently."
The audience was very excited.
"First song of the day, 'Eternal Blaze'."
Xue's clear singing voice accompanied by the sound of musical instruments immediately made the audience go crazy, including Himari, Yi and the SSGIRLS that Yi belonged to.
"Wow, that's amazing... Is this a professional band..."
Looking at the five people shining brightly on the stage, Himari was stunned for a moment.
At this moment, she finally understood what kind of terrifying existence the professional band that Senior Shiho mentioned was.
"We may never be able to reach this level in our lifetime."
“It’s really hard to imagine…”
"I agree, Xue and the others are really amazing..."
"Snow!!!"
On the side, several SSGIRLS felt exactly the same as Himari, especially Mari, who was completely excited.
Soon the first song ended, and Arknights seamlessly continued with the second song "Konecto".
As the second song ended, Xue took a deep breath and her voice suddenly changed.
"Then the third song... 'Monster'."
For a moment, the audience cheered even louder. This song is one of Miss Alicia's greatest masterpieces to date.
After the third song, the fourth and final song of the regular segment came, and it was called "KING".
Accompanied by the passionate music, the wildness in Xue's song quickly infected the entire audience until it stopped.
The five people returned to the lounge backstage, but it was obvious that the audience below the stage did not want the performance to end like this and kept shouting for an encore.
Regarding this, the experienced Xue and her friends had naturally considered it a long time ago and even prepared a new song as the encore song.
"Nana, are you ready?"
"of course."
As he spoke, Xiao Mo put away his guitar, took over the instrument case that Xingge had been holding, and took out the violin inside.
The moment Shiho saw the violin, she felt a little complicated.
She thought of Jing...
Of course, she wasn't the only one thinking of Kyo, Hajime, Bai Baihua, and even our Yuki did the same.
A violin brings back too many memories of the past.
“…Everyone, come on.”
Xue naturally noticed the change in mood of Lorelai and the other two, but now, of course, the first thing to do was to return to the stage.
Seeing Arknights respond to their own encore, the audience immediately cheered.
After the cheers, they began to wonder about the instrument in Xiao Mo's hand. They couldn't remember which song of Arknights required a violin?
"Thank you all for the enthusiastic encore. In response, we will be performing in advance the new songs from the album "β?o?" that will be released offline next week."
One second, two seconds, and the third second, the audience who were originally stunned became completely excited.
It’s a new song! It’s not even released yet!!!
"New song?!" Yi was shocked. It was impossible for a normal professional band to perform live before the song was released.
"Don't be surprised. Xue's agency is owned by the Xingqiong Group. There's absolutely no problem."
After hearing the words of truth, everyone suddenly understood.
Oh, it’s your own office, that’s fine.
"My Dearest"
So everything that makes me whole
Imajun Yupeng "I dedicate everything to you at this moment"
The sound of the piano simulated by the keyboard rang out along with Xue's singing, and the audience in the audience instantly got goosebumps.
I'm yours
The sounds of the other four instruments followed closely, and the melodious tone of the violin added a touch of tenderness to the music.
In the lounge, watching Xiao Mo's performance, Lorelai and the other two couldn't help but be moved by the scene.
The other person's appearance of being immersed in the violin was very similar to Jing back then - they saw Jing's shadow in Xiao Mo.
On the stage, Xue sang loudly while looking at Xiao Mo affectionately. The look in their eyes when they looked at each other was like drawn threads at this moment.
In the audience, they were completely immersed in the story told by the music and forgot to cheer.
"If one day you finally understand my feelings"
"I will definitely wait for you at that place"
そこにHope no owed piece すらなかったとしても「Even there there is not even the slightest hope」
自が在ってはならないものであっても "Even if I become an existence that is not tolerated in the world"
君はforgetれないでいてくれることを「I believe you will never forget me」
"I know this better than anyone else"
だから自は君のために全てを "So I am willing to give everything I have to you."
今抱ごう「I dedicate everything to you at this moment…」
As the ending music gradually died down, the audience finally came back to their senses, and then cheers and applause resounded throughout the stadium.
Arknights' new song is definitely a well-deserved masterpiece, comparable to or even surpassing their previous masterpieces.
"Thank you for your appreciation."
The five people bowed and returned to the backstage.
"How do you feel about the new song?" Xue took off the disguise of her icy personality and looked at the three people from Lorelai with a smile.
“It’s really great, a really excellent piece of music.”
"Well, when I was listening to Xiaoxue and the others playing just now, I was completely immersed in the singing."
Hajime and Momoka gave very positive comments, while Shiho on the side had a complicated expression, she hadn't recovered yet.
"Shiho?"
"Ah! Xiaoxue, what a great song." After Xue's reminder, Shiho was somewhat frightened.
Seeing her cousin like this, Xue felt helpless.
“…It’s okay. I understand.”
“…Yeah.” Shiho was stunned for a moment and nodded.
Yes, as one of the people closest to Jing, how could Xiaoxue not understand what he was thinking just now...
