A world only known by the God of Lost Love

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"Because I was eager to be popular at that time, so I naturally regarded the popular guitarist on TV as my goal."

After saying that, she lowered her head with a look of embarrassment and said:

"This reason sounds a bit too naive, right?"

"...No. Dreams are inherently indistinguishable, and the reason for the dream is even more so."

Suzuki Ren shook his head.

"And no matter what the motivation is, you finally achieve it through your own efforts. I think... this is really respectable."

Although Suzuki Ren's tone was very calm, it was not difficult to tell from the calm expression and the slightly lower voice than usual that he said these words with a very serious attitude.

"! Respect, respect or something! I'm not that great!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head in embarrassment:

"I am only able to reach this point because I was lucky enough to meet Suzuki-san... Compared to me... Suzuki-san who helps others selflessly and is perfect in all aspects is truly respectable! "

In Goto Kazuri's view, Ren Suzuki, who has super social skills, smart mind, excellent physical fitness, and noble character, is definitely more worthy of respect than himself.Not to mention that it was with his help that she realized her dream. No matter what others thought, at least in Goto Ichiri's world, Ren Suzuki was the one she respected the most... and admired the most.

"…………"

On the other side, in response to Goto Issato's statement, Suzuki Ren was silent for a moment, and then said:

"People are always longing for what they don't have."

When he first entered junior high school, he simply wanted to grow up quickly and become a "great" adult.

After Hiiragi's incident happened, his mind quickly matured, and his dream gradually became more concrete, becoming "a person who can make others happy."

However, after entering high school, several failed love experiences made him give up this idea. After constant modification and adaptation, he finally settled on "someone who will not hurt others" as the answer.

"Strictly speaking, I don't have any dreams at all."

Looking around at the campus that he was extremely familiar with, Ren Suzuki said:

"The reason why I am what I am today is entirely due to various adaptations to the environment and other people. As for what I really want to do...even I don't know. And this is exactly That’s why I respect you, Goto. You have a clear dream that I don’t have, and you also have the motivation to put in the hard work and effort for it.”

Recalling everything he had experienced so far, Suzuki Ren smiled and then continued:

"Thinking about it now, if I didn't have those experiences...I would probably just follow the trend and become an ordinary person. I would go to school, join a job, become an ordinary member, and find a job in some place with no prospects but extremely stable, and then Just wait to grow old.”

"This kind of life... in a sense is actually quite happy..."

Goto Isato whispered:

"If I hadn't been in a band, if I hadn't been a guitarist... I probably wouldn't have been able to do this in my future."

"But even so, you kept practicing guitar and never gave up."

Ren Suzuki smiled.

"The so-called opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. This is what I mean. Although I may be too absolute in saying this, but in my opinion, even without me, Gotou will definitely be able to welcome other opportunities. Opportunities and take them well.”

"...This statement is totally out of the blue."

"Maybe, but I sincerely think so."

As Ren Suzuki said this, he reached out his hand and pushed Ichiri Goto's bangs to the side.

"Goto, you are a far more amazing girl than you realize. So, I hope you can become more confident."

Before completing the final strategy, he hoped to confirm Goto Ichiri's mental condition again.

Although he was basically certain that Ichiri Goto would not follow Hiiragi's path again, but even so, he still wanted to consolidate her strength and confidence again.

At the same time, he also hopes to be able to express his true thoughts about Goto Ichiri before he leaves.

"!!!"

On the other side, Goto immediately blushed when her bangs were suddenly teased. At the same time, Suzuki Ren's words full of sincerity also caused her heart rate to rise sharply.

Although I don’t know why Suzuki Ren said these words to her specifically, but...such behavior is really heart-warming!

……

Yes, yes...

Why...Suzuki Ren would suddenly say such things to her?And I chose here specifically...

Probably because he experienced too many heartbeats in one day, Goto Kazuri actually became resistant to it at this time.

Despite being shy, she very keenly sensed a slight sense of inconsistency in Suzuki Ren's words.

However, just when she was about to say something, Ren Suzuki spoke again:

"After dinner later, I will take you to a livehouse near the university."

Ren Suzuki suggested:

"It can be regarded as a little stepping stone for the ending band's future performance venue. What do you think?"

"…………"

"Goto?"

"...Well, I have no objection."

At this time, Ren Suzuki... is definitely hiding something that she doesn't know yet!

Goto Kazuri is almost [-]% sure of this.

It's just... Should I ask directly about this?

Looking at Suzuki Ren's profile that showed no trace of joy or sorrow, Goto Ichiri fell into hesitation.

Chapter 73: Audience interaction sessions that often occur on Live

Ren Suzuki chose a livehouse that he had been to several times.

Because it is located in a relatively prosperous area and is very close to the university, the scale is much larger than [STARRY]. In addition, the number of seats, passenger flow, and menu here are also larger than [STARRY]. 】More abundant.

But more importantly, this Livehouse has thoughtfully prepared something called "couple seats."

Although it is just a simple combination of a sofa big enough for two people and a small round table, for couples who come to the Livehouse to spend time together, such a seat can indeed provide more intimacy for the two of them. and comfortable space.

So, with Isato Goto watching in astonishment, Ren Suzuki directly booked this couple's seat, which was half the price of an ordinary seat, and took her to sit on it with everyone around her looking at them with smiles... …

Sure enough... Ever since I talked to her about Miss Hiiragi, Suzuki-san has started to act a little strange.

Not only did he take the initiative to talk to her about the future, he even specially booked this "couple's seat" for himself.

Although, although I don’t feel disgusted by this, I still feel that this sudden change definitely indicates something!

"In addition to sparkling water, do you want anything else?"

Just when Goto Kazuri was still struggling with the subtle changes in Ren Suzuki's body, his voice suddenly sounded in her ears——

“I also highly recommend the other snacks here.”

"?!"

At this time, Suzuki Ren was much closer to her than on the Shinkansen.

Although the Livehouse is indeed very noisy, you need to be very close to hear what the other party is saying...

But talking completely close to the ear like this is too much like the behavior of "lovers"! ! !

"That...I don't need anything."

Gotou subconsciously moved a little distance away from Suzuki Ren.

"Because we just had dinner, so... we don't need anything else."

"That's it."

Seeing Goto Ichiri blushing and ducking away, Ren Suzuki didn't stick to him again, but returned to his previous position and looked at the stage in front of him again.

What was playing on the stage at this time was a band formed by Kyoto University students.

Judging from their pleasant and relaxed interactions between sets and their chatting with people in the audience from time to time, it seems like they perform here regularly.

Seeing their comfortable and enjoyable posture on the stage, Ren Suzuki couldn't help but start to imagine the future of ending the band...

After the band ends and starts official activities, sooner or later they will head to a bigger stage.

In high school, because of the academic constraints, they probably still couldn't leave too far.

But when they enter college, they will definitely be able to stand on a bigger stage like these people on the stage.

Music festivals, TV shows, special live...

Thinking of the performance he heard at [STARRY] that day, Ren Suzuki had no doubt that they could do this.

It's just that apart from playing things, these four girls don't seem to be very good at it.

Let’s not talk about Ryo Yamada, who is offline, and the two newcomers. Even Hijika Itachi, who has relatively common sense, is not yet able to shoulder the responsibility of running the band.

Fortunately, Yi Di Zhi Xingge is more concerned about this band. After he leaves, Yi Di Zhi Xinge should naturally take on the responsibility of manager.

In this way, there is no room for him to worry about the band's affairs.

well.

Goto Kazuri's "safety" has been ensured and the band's future is bright.

Then he only needs to complete the final stage of the strategy, and he can return to his original timeline with peace of mind.

That means...

Next, he can finally start to push forward the remaining [15%].

"Goto."

"Yes!?"

"What a great response... I just want to ask, what do you think of the performance of the guitarist on stage now?"

"Well……"

After hearing the question about the band, Goto Ichiri's panic suddenly cooled down a bit.

After readjusting his breathing and throat, Goto Kazuri did not close the distance, but chose to shout to Suzuki Ren with a slightly louder voice:

"I think...he is very powerful!"

"What's so great about it?"

"His Typhoon is very good and natural!"

Kazuri Goto commented:

"He interacts a lot with the audience and can easily heat up the atmosphere, and from time to time he will mobilize other members of the band to play with him. I think... this feeling of freedom is really cool!"

In fact, she has always been concerned about typhoons.

After the interview ended that day, Yamada Ryoyu sent her a private message to correct everyone's questions from Ichichi Hoshige that day.

Among them, the most important issue regarding Goto Ichiri is the typhoon issue.

Although her technique was indeed very proficient and she made few mistakes during her performance that day, she was just looking at the guitar in her hand almost the whole time, without looking at the audience at all, and she had no communication with other band members.

Not only that, she almost didn't even change her posture, she just stood there blankly, playing like a robot.

"If you want to host a successful Live... you don't just need basic skills!"

Goto Kazuri said:

"If you want to arouse the audience's emotions and make everyone get high together, you need to perform a certain amount of performance during the performance! Just like the guitarist!"

After hearing this, Suzuki Ren immediately smiled and nodded:

"So, you also want to be the kind of guitarist who can actively interact with the audience?"

"Yes!"

Goto Ichiri nodded.

"I also...want to play happily on stage like him!"

hum-

Because he was so engrossed in the conversation, Goto Kazuri didn't notice at all.
