Society fears that young people don’t want to be literary godfathers

(..........What do you mean, you can't play music while lying in a wheelchair?)

(Haha, you will know what's going on when you sit in this wheelchair - that feeling that no matter how hard you try, you can't regain a trace of respect, and no matter how serious you are, you can't get people to look at you seriously. Can you understand it? )

(............Of course I understand.)

that day.

Mochizuki put down the bowls and chopsticks and turned to look out the window:

"Because I'm just like you, always alone."

"........."

Kurihara Saki will always remember the touching moment.

At that time, she held the cup of warm water that Mochizuki handed to her with both hands, feeling the warmth from her fingertips. Looking at the sheet music Mochizuki handed her and the demo he sent to her, she suddenly felt that her heart was finally burning. The firelight.

The music is very abstract and underworld, something called "unravel"... Although Kurihara really can't appreciate this style, but from Mochizuki's hoarse and psychedelic singing, the girl sees infinite possibilities Sex, seeing a new life waving towards me——

Although they did not agree to cooperate together on the spot, the seeds were actually planted in the girl's heart.

Ever since, that sunny summer two years ago, the chirping cicadas, the quiet stream, the long shrine, the stone statues with palms clasped together, the emerald green and transparent forest, the ancient vermilion torii gate covered with moss and rain marks, and the moon-watching reason The girl who went out to see the scenery together, who was once lost in the past, began to say tremblingly:

"I will help you compose the music, and I will also create the Slothfish account with you... Let's work hard together from now on?"

"Okay!"

The young man was obviously very happy. Although he always gave people a weird feeling from the underworld, his voice was obviously quite eager:

"Then... let's make friends?"

"Eh.......?"

Hearing what Mochizuki said, Kurihara Saki was obviously stunned.

Her bright red eyes blinked, as if she didn't believe her ears, and the girl asked tremblingly:

"Friend...is that okay?"

"sure."

"No, wait, please make it clear - we are just friends!"

Seeing that Mochizuki was unmoved, Kurihara Saki from two years ago quickly explained: "Do you know what friends are? Friends can talk about hobbies together, complain about the difficulty of life, laugh and joke together, play games together, and occasionally People who will sit and have dinner together!”

"I know, that's why I said I want to be your friend."

"Are you sure?" Still in disbelief, Kurihara Saki pointed at herself, "Being my friend will be boring. Do you want to think about it?"

"...What's there to think about? We all created Slothfish together. We should have been important to each other for a long time, right?"

"........Yeah?"

With his heart beating very fast, Kurihara Saki asked half-consciously:

"Then...we are friends from now on?"

"If you agree, we'll start now."

Mochizuki, who had never made friends other than her childhood friends and was actually quite withdrawn, was a little nervous for a while. She always felt that the girl in the wheelchair might be thinking of rejecting him.

However... He also didn't expect that the other person was actually just like him, a lonely person who longed to be accompanied.

"Okay...Okay!"

Almost without thinking, she agreed directly. Visible joy and rosiness quickly climbed onto the girl's childish cheeks. She clenched her fists and raised the corners of her mouth, as if she had harvested a treasure—

Before the boy could react, Kurihara Saki also gently pulled Mozuki's clothes corner:

"Will you come to my house for dinner later? Good friend?"

Memories come to an abrupt end.

Suddenly recalling her most youthful moments... the silver-haired girl smiled like a flower. Even when she sang this song that could easily make her fall into silence, she looked so passionate and emotional:

(I don’t know when, but I just kept failing.)

(Losing self-confidence and feeling downcast,)

(Becoming afraid of being conspicuous,)

(Teasing the misfits,)

(But I don’t know why I envy this kind of person.)

(Standing in front of the mirror and falling into delusion...)

Almost at the moment when the song fell, the strings of the guitar and bass echoed.

The next moment, the roaring music with the clear singing voices of young girls seemed to be enough to sing the entire two-year journey:

(Insisting on "I am very happy",)

(But I was so sad that I cried alone,)

(Don’t run from such darkness!)

("Wandering in search of love,")

(Innocent Romantic Natural Disaster",)

(If you like yourself like this,)

(Just hold out your chest,)

(Please sing loudly!)

(You can definitely do it,)

(Sing to your heart’s content!)

The lyrics fell.

"Heretical Star" seems to have come to an end at this moment.

But...listening to the thundering applause and cheers, the girl holding Bess was stunned.

She didn't know why, but she always felt like she was just watching a scene in front of her eyes, with many pictures appearing in front of her eyes.

Whether it was the ridicule you deliberately avoided or the tenderness you tried to recall, everything in 17 years passed by in a flash, and the world seemed to fall into a blank. Looking up, only the sweaty young man who performed with him was left, rushing towards the scene. Giving himself a thumbs up.

.........Isn't this guy an idiot?

Seeing the elementary school boy who was gradually letting go during the performance and becoming more and more active and playful, Kurihara Saki couldn't help but snorted and made a face at him.

However...even though he is an idiot and has a very awkward personality, he is indeed a gentle enough person~

Thinking of Mochizuki Ri, Kurihara Saki's thoughts were filled with thoughts.

In fact, the girl initially didn’t think that she, who was in a wheelchair, and accompanied by a boy who was withdrawn and in a worrying mental state could become a powerful person, nor did she think that they, who were marginalized and alien, could become musicians who would be remembered by everyone... .However, looking at the cheering audience and his parents who had been silently applauding him in the audience, Kurihara Saki half-consciously felt that he had already been accompanying the boy with a lonely heart. We have come a long way.

........It’s really incredible.

Looking at the boy on the stage like this, looking at the elementary school boy who has always been by his side, Kurihara Saki always thinks of the time when he and Mochizuki ate together, laughing and scolding like two ordinary high school kids. .

Standing on the stage like this, feeling the cheers and applause of the audience, the girl felt that she was still at the small dining table and had not strayed far from her past dreams.

...Obviously what I want to be is a more normal singer, and I don’t want to become such an abstract and chaotic musician.

However...although I did want to become a more normal musician at first, I hope I can hold my head high and be admired.

However, looking at these crazy fans who still love her very much, the girl suddenly feels that everything is worth it.

As the young man said:

"If we still can't be ordinary after all, then we will become the most rebellious heretic stars who follow our true hearts."

so........

(With love, use "voice" and "language" and let everyone listen,)

(Don’t be afraid, please shout loudly and sing to your heart’s content!!!)

The real ending of "Heretic Star" was sung by Kurihara Saki in a roaring voice.

Amid the warm cheers and applause, Kurihara Saki cried. This was the first time she cried so hard.

She clearly felt that every minute and every second, what was flowing gurglingly was not only the blood in her body, but also the source of life for her -

Listen, time is running out slowly but quickly, but it also leaves behind many things worth remembering.

at this moment.

Kurihara Saki once again heard the clear and sweet clinking sound of two glasses of juice from the night two years ago when the arrangement of "unravel" was completed.

"I wish us, Slothfish, success, and we will become the most powerful musicians together in the future - Hey, Kurihara, why are you crying?"

"No, it's okay..."

"It's okay, just have a good rest - you can play a game with me later. I'm a master of the game now, and I can definitely last another minute under your control."

"Haha... ok."

Two years ago, the boy and girl who had finished their first cooperation just slumped on the sofa, casually playing Super Smash Bros., and laughter filled the small room.

"...Speaking of which, does Mochizuki have any regrets?"

Kurihara Saki rubbed his misty eyes and asked seriously.

"Yes... There are so many things I regret that I can't even count them." Mochizuki, who was once again knocked out of the field by Kurihara Saki and had been trying to fly back to the battlefield, said seriously, " However, sometimes life is like this, and there is no use regretting it. You might as well go on laughing like me, don’t you think?"

"...Indeed it is."

Seeing Mochizuki clumsily controlling Kirby to fly back to the field, Kurihara Saki showed no mercy and directly controlled Link to fly the pink demon out of the field:

"I have regrets anyway."

"Really? Like?"

"...I may regret not being able to live the rest of my life as a disabled person in peace."

"Really...that's good."

Seeing himself once again being knocked out of the field by Link controlled by Kurihara Saki, Mochizuki put down the controller and wiped away Kurihara Saki's tears:

"Because we're sloth fish, aren't we?"

129. The Sloth Fish concert comes to an end, the most unforgettable night

Sloth Fish's concert went very smoothly.

Under the watchful eyes of Mochizuki Ri and Kurihara Saki's family and friends, these two seemingly marginalized children were now shining like superstars. They gently raised the microphone and sang out one after another new songs that they had carefully rehearsed in the past. Sing all over.

Whether it's "Only Mom is Good", which seems a bit off-kilter, or some music that seems rather abstract from the underworld and unique to the tune of sloth fish, the boys and girls try their best to play every song with full energy, and finish every song They all felt that their voices were getting hoarse... Finally, after an hour of high-intensity singing, the boys and girls had finished singing all the songs they had planned, and their carefully painted makeup was also there. At this moment, I was completely soaked in sweat——

But... none of that matters anymore.

Thousands of spectators at the scene were completely infected by Slothfish's full-throated performance. The atmosphere was enthusiastic throughout the concert, and the high-intensity tacit interaction in the middle of the concert was even more shocking to the Internet musicians. The concentration of fans is truly beyond imagination, and it feels vaguely like an emperor and queen who have been around for many years.

On top of the online concert that was broadcast simultaneously on the Internet, many fans who were unable to come to Toyama County on time to support Sloth Fish offline could not help but sigh at this moment:

(Family, although I have a fan filter, the performance of these two children is a bit too good... Putting aside the clear voices of God's praise of food, the singing skills of these two people The tone really doesn’t look like those ubiquitous sound card warriors, but rather looks like a well-known musician group in our Japanese music scene!)

(Yeah...I was going crazy at first, but in terms of level, there is really no dispute between the two Slothfish - oh, it is indeed a hero who comes out of a boy, when I think about jpop's future Two future stars have risen, and I suddenly became excited. I am looking forward to their future.)

(????I’m so looking forward to your babies’ future. I can’t bear it. I must go to the Budokan for a concert in the future! Mom wants to see you officially debut and become superstars!)

(? It’s strange, why does it feel like the sloth fish’s mother has so many fans tonight...)

(???Don’t allow motherly fans who are overflowing with maternal love to touch my sloth fish. If you want to touch it, touch me. It is my responsibility to protect the sloth fish???!)

"...Really, Slothfish fans have never changed."

Yu Tsugawa, who had been sitting in the audience observing the situation and helping to heat up the atmosphere, looked at the Slothfish online concert barrage watched by nearly [-] people on his mobile phone and couldn't help but complain:

"...I really don't understand how those two people attracted so many strange fans. Is this really an Internet utopia?"

Of course, complaints belong to complaints.

Looking at the dense and enthusiastic messages during the online concert, and feeling the unprecedented shocking atmosphere of the offline concert, Yu Tsugawa didn't say anything, just smiled twice, and then turned all his attention to the stage. On the brother and the girl.

It's really amazing...it's possible to bring together these small groups that are simply incompatible on the Internet, such as born warriors, fangirls, cute people, hype dogs, and mom fans. These two children, who don't seem to be very mature and stable at heart, really have an inexplicable strength in them.

......Suddenly I want to see them on a bigger stage.

Tsugawa Yu, who grew up with Mochizuki Ri, couldn't help but silently look forward to this moment.
