A world only known by the God of Lost Love

Ren Suzuki asked:

"Just informing me that you want Goto-san to be responsible for most of the opening performances?"

"No, what I just said is just to let you know about my design. As for what I want to say to you, it is actually a request."

Yamada Ryo said in a serious tone:

"Although you are nominally our manager and songwriter. But...when we play, I hope you can stand at the front of the audience. If possible, it is best to stand in front of Little Boqi." .”

"..."

After hearing this, Suzuki Ren fell into silence. After a while, he asked:

"Wouldn't this...instead affect her?"

"will not."

Yamada Ryo shook his head.

"Even if the attention of the whole world can affect her state, you will be the only exception. It is better to say that only when you are present, little Boqi's state will be at its best."

"..."

Ren Suzuki sighed silently in her heart.

Sure enough, Yamada Ryo unsurprisingly sensed Goto Ichiri's thoughts and feelings.

Not only that, she even thought of how to use this feeling to further evolve and grow on stage.

To a certain extent, the two of them can even be regarded as partners with the same purpose.

"I get it, and I'll do it."

Suzuki Ren nodded and agreed:

"However, I can't guarantee whether she will bravely take on the important task of opening the solo."

"She will."

Ryo Yamada is convinced of this.

"As long as you tell her, 'I'm looking forward to your performance,' she will definitely agree without hesitation."

After hearing this, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but complained:

"It's too cunning to take advantage of a girl's heart like this."

"But it turned out to be a win-win for her and the band...so I don't think there's anything wrong with a little deception."

As Yamada Ryo spoke, he glanced at Ren Suzuki:

"And...are you really qualified to say that others are taking advantage of girls' hearts?"

"……………………"

"Anyway, that's what happened, so since there is no rehearsal today, I will go back first."

Yamada Ryo waved his hand, then picked up the bass box beside him and left leisurely towards the door.

On the other side, Suzuki Ren could only stare at that handsome back silently, unable to say a word for a long time.

Whether it is himself or Yamada Ryo, the original intention is to enable Gotou Isri to further grow.

It's just that her purpose lies in the band and music, and her own purpose... is to end the relationship between the two in the safest way possible.

In comparison, my motives are really bad enough.

Thinking of this, Suzuki Ren couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.

And at this moment-

"Hey! Suzuki-kun!"

Kita Ikuyo's voice suddenly came, and the next second, the words she said made Ren Suzuki freeze in place——

"Little Boqi is a little out of sorts, could you please take her home?"

"………………what?"

Chapter 37: Guitar Pick in My Heart

"I'm sorry...Suzuki-san..."

On the way home, Ichiri Goto couldn't help but apologize to Ren Suzuki:

"I thought it would be enough to take a short rest in the recording studio... I didn't expect that after I got up, I still had no strength all over my body..."

"After all, it's your first time to experience this kind of 'burn out' state, so it's understandable."

Ren Suzuki, who was holding two schoolbags in his hands and carrying a guitar case on his back, shook his head and said:

"However, next time if you really feel unwell, you must tell us as soon as possible...not only for the band, but also for you, do you understand?"

"……kindness."

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"I will definitely tell you right next time."

"that's fine."

Ren Suzuki didn't even have to think about sending Ichiri Goto home. It must be Ikuyo Kita who was deliberately providing an "opportunity" for the two of them.

However, Ren Suzuki didn't have any objections to this. After all, the counter was already taken over by Ikuyo Kita and Nijika Itachi, so it wouldn't have any impact even if he wasn't thinking about it.

And...he could just take this opportunity to explain Yamada Ryo's plan to Goto Kazuri——

........................

"Hey... let me be in charge of opening the band?"

Sure enough, when he first heard Yamada Ryo's thoughts, Goto Ichisato immediately showed a somewhat uneasy expression.

"Is it really okay for me to handle such an important matter?"

"..."

If now, he really says to her, "I'm looking forward to your performance" as Yamada Ryo said before, then Goto Kazuri will definitely accept this plan immediately.

But... for Gotou Kazuri at this time, does he really need to use this method to take advantage of Gotou Kazuri's favor and trust in him for "ulterior motives"?

I always feel...a little bit unable to let go.

Now Goto Ichiri is no longer the coward who couldn't even take the initiative to speak.

What she lacked at this time was just a little courage and trust in herself.

In this case, we should still give some positive encouragement——

"Suzuki-kun..."

"kindness?"

"Do you think...I can do it?"

As a result, before Suzuki Ren could speak, Goto Kazuri took the initiative and asked Suzuki Ren:

"This is it...the opening solo...in your opinion, am I qualified for this position?"

"…………"

I was beaten first.

Unexpectedly, before he gave her encouragement, she took the initiative to ask for her opinion.

Do you want to get a reason to take courage from him?Or do you simply trust his judgment?

Ren Suzuki has no way of knowing.

But since she took the initiative to ask, he naturally had no reason to evade.

then--

"Of course I don't know about this kind of thing."

Ren Suzuki spread her hands:

"I don't understand music and I don't understand guitar. As a complete layman, I can't give you any reference value answer."

"This, that's it..."

"However—"

Ren Suzuki changed the subject.

"The founder of the band, Hijika Ichi, is your fan. Ryo Yamada, the most talented person in the band, chose to hand over this important task to you. The lead singer and rhythm guitar of the band is your student... As for whether to trust their judgment and Your own ability is your business."

".........!"

After hearing Suzuki Ren's answer, Goto Ichiri's eyes widened at first, then she slowly lowered her head and whispered:

"Indeed... everyone obviously trusts me so much. If I continue to deny myself like this, it would be a bit rude to everyone."

"...It's not rude. After all, this is just one-sided expectation that Yamada-san has for you. Whether you want to respond to her or not is completely your freedom. Just like today's broadcast, what we did is just Giving you the power to choose, rather than forcing you to do something.”

Suzuki Ren shook his head and answered calmly.

"We all really hope that Goto-san can take charge of his own business as soon as possible, but... the person who makes the decision is ultimately you. Therefore, compared to our opinions, Goto-san's top priority should be your own demands and ideas. .”

"...Even if this would go against your expectations?"

"This world is not so strict that you have to respond to everyone's expectations to survive. Responding to others' expectations can indeed prove your gentleness and strength, but even if you don't respond, the other party has no right to accuse you... Well, although There are indeed people who will put their own ideas above the wishes of others, but for this kind of person... you don't need to have any contact with him at all."

As Ren Suzuki spoke, he weighed the guitar on his shoulders:

"Follow your own ideas and don't cater to anyone... This should be considered the most basic rock spirit, right? What do you think? The lead guitarist who ended the band - Kazuri Goto?"

"……………………"

Goto Ichiri fell into thought.

She has always placed herself at the bottom of the pile and never thought that she still had the power to "reject".

Probably because of this, she has a considerable degree of fear of everything around her.

If you cannot satisfy the other party, you may be rejected by the other party.

If you offend the other party by inappropriate words and deeds, it will even lead to being disliked by the other party.

Goto Ichiri has always had this idea in mind when facing everyone around him.

But... think about it carefully, if they really dislike her so easily, then... does she really need to win the approval of such people?

There are obviously more people around her who will tolerate and trust her. Does she really need to worry about these "mean people" who only exist in her imagination?

She recalled the classmates who surrounded her during lunch break.

Among them, some praised her guitar skills, while others regretted that they never came to talk to her. Many people even took the initiative to exchange contact information with her...

The chaotic but not annoying noise easily negated everything she had worried about in the past.

After all, the person who has always had the greatest negative attitude towards her is herself.

So next... what should she do?

……

…………

"I...accept Yamada-senpai's proposal."

Goto Kazari answered clearly and slowly:

"But besides that, I have another question."

"what?"

"Suzuki-kun, do you... expect my performance?"

"Isn't that of course?"

Ren Suzuki answered without hesitation:
