A world only known by the God of Lost Love

The long bangs were cut off, and the timidity on his face no longer existed.

In just a few moments, she grew from an immature high school girl to an outstandingly beautiful beauty right in front of her eyes.

Just when Suzuki Ren was still shocked by the many changes in Goto Isato, she who was originally motionless suddenly met his eyes and showed a quiet smile.

The next second, accompanied by the sound of metal friction as gears rotated, his consciousness instantly fell into a blank...

Chapter 86: Settlement screen

Click-click-click.

Accompanied by the fading metallic sound and the noisy noise of pedestrians and vehicles that replaced it, Ren Suzuki's consciousness gradually returned to her body.

The still world resumed its movement, and the vision that had lost its color returned to normal again.

And when he subconsciously looked around, Keima Katsuragi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately appeared in front of him.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Suzuki."

Keima Katsuragi's voice instantly activated Suzuki Ren's spirit as if she were waking up from a dream.

"The expelling soul has been captured. Thank you very much for your help."

"…………"

After seeing Keima Katsuragi, Ren Suzuki was stunned for a while, and then said:

"The clothes you are wearing are..."

"Clothes? Oh, you mean this."

At this time, Keima Katsuragi was not wearing the red uniform he wore when they first met, but a black-based round-neck T-shirt with "End Band" printed on the front and a drawstring pattern printed on the back.

In other words, the band uniforms were designed by those girls under the witness of Ren Suzuki.

"Because Ellie is obsessed with this band recently, she bought a lot of their peripheral products. I even bought my share of them."

"!?"

After hearing this, Ren Suzuki hurriedly took out her mobile phone from the unfamiliar coat, opened it and confirmed the current time——

"Now...is indeed the time before I traveled through time. That means..."

"The activities that ended the band didn't stop after you left. Rather, they became more active."

Keima Katsuragi pushed up her glasses gently.

"Due to their outstanding performance at the mini music festival, the band was spotted by a music director who happened to be involved in the festival and signed a contract. Less than a year later, they launched They released their first mini-album and it was a huge success. Until now, they are still maintaining a very active creative state and will participate in music festivals and performances in various places every summer."

"…………That’s it."

After listening to Keima Katsuragi's brief explanation, Ren Suzuki nodded absentmindedly, then picked up the phone again and searched for related terms about ending the band on the Internet.

And when he saw the many works and honors that appeared under the band's name, a complicated smile that coexisted with relief and loneliness suddenly appeared on his face.

"That's great, everyone."

At this point, he was basically able to confirm without a doubt the success of ending the band.

Although there is no explanation about myself in it, the song "Words" is at the top of all the tracks. 】 But there are very clear traces that prove to him that he has been here.

Out of curiosity, Ren Suzuki clicked on the personal pages of the band members again, wanting to see what kind of reviews the four girls had received since then.

However, the moment he clicked on Gotou Ichiri's entry, the expression on his face immediately became extremely stiff——

"...[Queen of Bitter Love Songs]? What, what kind of evaluation is this?"

Although the band's creative styles are very diverse, the most praised by the outside world is the bitter song composed by Goto Kazuri himself.The most obvious feature of the songs she creates is that she will, without exception, "reminisce" an existence that seems to have disappeared, and express her longing for him.

In the eyes of the outside world, Goto Kazuri must have experienced a very complicated and painful love break before he created such a sad and painful song.

However, for the person involved, Ren Suzuki, his opinion may not be as simple as these uninformed people——

"Don't get me wrong. As stated on the navigation system, the memory of you has indeed disappeared from their minds."

Seeing the changing expression on Ren Suzuki's face, Keima Katsuragi explained:

"But... even if the memory disappears, it will inevitably leave a corresponding memory gap and a sense of dissonance. This is probably why Ms. Goto has such a steady stream of creative inspiration."

"…………"

After learning that the other party had indeed forgotten his memories, Ren Suzuki was relieved, but even so, when he knew that Goto Ichiri had composed so many bitter love songs because of himself, he still couldn't help it. I avoided feeling a little guilty.

"You... must be looking at my experiences in the past three months, right?"

"Well, although there was a slight interruption, I saw the main strategy process."

"...So how do you feel about my actions?"

Ren Suzuki asked.

"Did I save Goto Kazuri as you wished? And did I save the world properly?"

"Of course, the result has even exceeded my original expectations."

Keima Katsuragi said with certainty without any hesitation:

"Mr. Suzuki, you have fulfilled my commission without any doubt."

"……That's good."

Suzuki Ren nodded, and then looked around again with emotion.

The surrounding street scene remains the same.

Every pedestrian in a hurry is rushing for his own life, and the passing vehicles also have their own destinations.

The whole world is still running as usual, without any sign of stagnation.

Only he, a person who travels back and forth between different times, still cannot integrate into this world well at this moment.

His cognition was still stuck on the time when he was with the band that ended four years ago, and even his mood had not been able to adjust from the breakup just now.

At the same time, probably seeing the abnormality in Suzuki Ren's current state, Keima Katsuragi said to him:

"It will probably take at least a week before the navigation system confirms the next target. During this time, Mr. Suzuki can take a good rest."

"There is actually another target."

Suzuki Ren smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Obviously this time alone is enough to make me feel tired."

"...I admit that my commission is indeed a headache in various aspects."

I don't know if he remembered something, but Keima Keima also sighed with emotion on his face.

"But you also gained something in the process, didn't you?"

"I can't deny that."

Thanks to this encounter with Ichiri Goto, Ren Suzuki was able to untie a knot that had troubled him for a long time.

And although he was feeling a little sentimental because of this separation at this time, his experiences in the past three months had indeed left him with many good memories and growth.

"I understand. If you have another request next time, just contact me. Since you have investigated me so thoroughly, you don't need me to provide your contact information, right?"

Ren Suzuki shook her phone.

"After all, we are here to save the world, so it doesn't matter if we work a little harder."

"Have you finally stopped doubting the authenticity of my words?"

"I've already seen such outrageous things, how could I doubt you again?"

Ren Suzuki said:

"However, if possible, I really hope that the goal next time can be a little simpler."

"I can't predict who the target of the attack will be."

Keima Katsuragi shook her head.

"So, I can only wish you good luck."

"That alone is enough."

Ren Suzuki waved her hand.

"Then, I'll go back first... To be honest, my head is still a little dizzy."

"Well, please be sure to have a good rest."

Keima Katsuragi stood still and said to Ren Suzuki very seriously:

"See you next time, Mr. Suzuki."

This guide officially ends here.

Chapter 87: The first fans

After that, Ren Suzuki listened to all the songs of the ending band in one go.

Listened to it in chronological order, from beginning to end, without missing a beat.

It was as if he wanted to use this method to make up for the four years that he had not been able to accompany them——

"...The result is other than really awesome, I can't think of any other evaluation."

After listening to the last new single, Ren Suzuki leaned back in his chair and showed a wry smile.

"It would be nice if I could learn a little more musical instruments at that time."

Without any musical attainments, he could not judge how these girls had grown through these songs.

All he knew was that after listening to these songs, he had undoubtedly become the band's most loyal fan.

Especially when he hears the sound of guitar in the song, his eyes can't help but picture the handsome appearance of Ichiri Goto standing on the stage, focusing on playing the guitar.

……

Keima Katsuragi was right.

They must have really forgotten themselves.

At this time, Ren Suzuki was reading an interview about ending the band.

According to them, from the beginning of the band's establishment, everything has been completed by them and Hoshige Itichi as a supporter.And in all the questions and answers after that, there was no content related to me at all.

Although Suzuki Ren felt a little lonely at first, but after thinking about it, if they had not forgotten her, then the four years of separation without saying goodbye might have become a big problem.

Rather than being misunderstood by them as an irresponsible man, perhaps forgetting due to force majeure like this is a better outcome.

Thinking of this, Ren Suzuki finally adjusted her mentality.

As for the first thing to do after this, naturally there is no need to say more...

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

"...There is almost no change."

Ren Suzuki, who returned to Shimokitazawa, looked around and sighed.

Although four years have passed, the layout and decoration of the shopping street have not changed much.

Except for the obvious changes in the words on the signboard and the potted plants placed in the storefronts, the atmosphere of this street is still very consistent with his impression.

If we really want to say the biggest change, it should be the music played in these stores. Many of them have been replaced by songs that end the band.

“After all, it’s a band that came out of here, so it’s only natural that it would become like this.”

Because the physical distance was less than a week, Ren Suzuki didn't have too many emotions when he returned here again, but felt a sense of peace of mind as if he were home.

"Ah...here we are."

It didn't take long for Ren Suzuki to arrive at the door of [STARRY] very skillfully.

Not surprisingly, this is almost the place that has changed the most in the entire Shimokitazawa——

[STARRY]’s lantern signboard is placed in the most conspicuous place, and on top of the more luxurious signboard, there is a richer selection of drinks and snacks.

Posters of the resident band were plastered all over the wall, while posters of the ending band were placed in the most conspicuous center position——

"...Hey, he's quite handsome."
