Hey guys, I like Two-dimensional

"——The next step is the performance by the orchestra brought by the Metropolitan Raizen High School who voluntarily participated."

"Clap clap clap!"

The venue burst into applause echoing these words.

"Okay, let's go on stage!"

After finishing speaking, Shizhi stepped forward.Tohka, Yakoya, and Yuzuru followed closely behind.

Next, they walked from the side of the dim stage to the stage illuminated by spotlights——

"...!"

Shizhi couldn't help holding his breath.

I had watched Miku's stage performance before, and just now I was standing on the side of the stage peeking into the audience - a completely different feeling from the two, covering Shiori's whole body.

The only stage filled with light in the dark venue.A packed house.Watch your gaze intently.

After these factors merged into one, they formed a force of gravity that clamped down on Shizhi's hands and feet.

"I see. This is really...an incredible sight."

Shizhi licked his lips and tasted a hint of salty taste.

There have been countless rehearsals.In order to avoid stage fright, all the members of 'Ratatosk' were gathered together and Shizhi sang in front of them.

However, this time is different.There are clear differences between the two.

The atmosphere of a formal performance, the tension of a formal performance, this sense of oppression mercilessly dampened Shiori's spirit.

but--

"......Ha ha."

Shizhi laughed softly.

Indeed, this is the first time in his life that he has stood on a big stage.

However, I have confronted the elves countless times.He was even captured by elves.

The current scene was indeed a bit nerve-wracking, but what was it compared to what she had experienced before?

After experiencing many things, Shizhi's heart was unknowingly strengthened.Although he doesn't have as much experience as the original, he is still much better than the average person.

Shiori took his guitar and stood in front of the microphone stand in the center of the stage, then looked to the left, right and back.

On the right is Tohka, on the left is Yuzuru, and behind is Yakuya.After everyone positioned themselves, they nodded in response to Shiori's gaze.

By the way, there are microphone stands in front of Tohka and Yuzuru.Because there are harmony and chorus parts in the song, although the lead singer asked Shixiang to sing according to Chen Ling's instructions, there is also a chorus part, so they still have to sing together.

After completing the tuning action, Shiori and his team exchanged glances again and nodded to each other.

"Haha... Very good, then let's start playing the death melody leading to Hades!"

While making this dangerous statement, Yagiya banged the drum sticks.

Shiori started playing the guitar as the drumsticks sounded.At the same time, the sound of the bass played by Yuzuru with superb skills came from the left, and the sound of Tohka's tambourine came from the right.

A lively accompaniment.Although the song was sung by a professional singer, the performance was performed by Shizhi and his colleagues.

Once you start playing, the next step is to develop the results of your practice.The guitar pick dances wildly on the strings, playing the tune as you please.The tension that originally filled my body gradually turned into excitement.

Then--

"Ah~~~ oh~~~"

Tohka, who stood on Shiori's right hand, waved the tambourine in her hand to the beat and started singing.

The lead singer is Tohka, but Tohka still plays with the same instruments as before.

Of course, if that's the case, it's normal.

However, Tohka’s singing voice at this time——

"Amazing!"

It has reached a point where it is almost mesmerizing to listen to it, and it is sung very well.

No, to be precise, using "sings well" to describe her singing is actually not appropriate.Because...she didn't sing exactly according to the melody, and improvised on her own in many places.Not only that, but sometimes the wrong lyrics are sung.

It seemed that even if Chen Ling asked Shixiang to train well in advance, something would still go wrong.

However, even so, the timbre of Tohka's voice and singing voice can magically arouse the excitement of the audience.

Besides, what if I sing it wrong?This song is their original work. If the audience doesn't read the lyrics, how will they know that Tohka sang it wrong?

At this time, Shizhi subconsciously looked at Tohka.

The momentum of being on the big stage, the hostility towards Miku, and the sense of obligation to shoulder a heavy responsibility, none of these things can be felt from Tohka's expression.

Just, pure happiness.

Tohka showed that she was very happy to be able to play with Shiori and the others, enjoying the "fun" in the "note" symbols.

--wrong.Shizhi shook his head slightly.

You have to be very good at playing, you have to be better than Miku.While forcing himself to practice continuously, Shiori never realized this...that is, Tohka always had this expression while practicing.

Tohka probably didn't memorize those lyrics deliberately.I probably wrote it down unconsciously while listening to Shiori and Origami singing.

"Hahaha."

Shizhi laughed naturally.

The heavy pressure that had been weighing on his hands and feet until just now disappeared like a lie.His fingers moved briskly at a speed that even he couldn't believe.

The moment he realized this, Shizhi played the most powerful piano sound so far.

It’s not that I want to perform the “gorgeous skills” I worked so hard on during junior high school, nor is it that my rock soul suddenly awakens.

——This kind of scripted performance is not worthy of Tohka’s singing voice!

Shizhi just thinks this way.

I'm afraid the tunes nowadays have become a mess.No wonder.If he could create a perfect improvisation with his half-baked playing skills, Shiori would be able to apply to drop out of school tomorrow and join the entertainment industry.

However, the current situation...

Things are different now.

Because Shizhi is not alone now!

Realizing that Shiori's performance was unscripted, Yakiya and Yuzuru immediately perfectly coordinated with Shiori's messy performance.Then, as if she noticed the change in music style, Tohka glanced in Shiori's direction, with a dazzling smile on her face.

"...!"

In an instant - "Plop!" The heart skipped a beat.

It wasn't caused by the annoying tension just now.But other factors——

However, Shizhi doesn't have the extra brain capacity to think about this matter now.

The first section of the song ends and the accompaniment enters.

At this time, a desire quietly emerged in Shizhi's heart.

A very simple wish.

——I want to sing with Tohka.

On this stage, sing with Tohka!

Shizhi is not a hopeless music idiot, but he is not a good singer either.At least, it was her singing ability that was abandoned by Kotori because she said "I can't beat Miku like this".

However, even so, Shizhi still obeyed the desire that suddenly sprouted in his heart.

When the second verse started, Shiori began to sing along with Tohka.

"...!"

While Tohka continued to sing, she looked at Shiori in surprise. She seemed to be inexplicably aware of Tohka's thoughts and wanted to sing happily with her.

In response, Tohka showed an even happier expression than before and started singing.

Shiori also sang as hard as he could as if he didn't want to fall behind Tohka.The lyrics that I couldn't remember just now can now be woven with my lips subconsciously.

While singing, Shiori completely forgot about the competition with Miku.

Let a simple emotion dominate your entire brain.

so happy!

--so happy!

......so happy!

Is this what it feels like to enjoy music and enjoy happiness?

Shizhi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and was completely immersed in it.

At the same time, the Yawu sisters seemed to be infected by Tohka and Shiori, and they couldn't help but sing along, even though they didn't need to sing along in the original plan.

But so what?

Isn’t that all there is to happiness?

I don't know how long it took, but by the time Shizhi came to his senses, the performance of the song had ended.

The shoulders shook.Shizhi found that he was sweating profusely, and his whole body was as wet as if he had jumped into a swimming pool.

"Shiori!"

Tohka ran over with a dazzling smile.

"hand!"

"Oh... oh oh!"

Just when Shizhi followed the instruction and raised his hand, Tohka's hand hit her palm with a "pop!"

At this moment-

Shizhi's ears heard the sound of clapping and deafening cheers that couldn't even be isolated from the headphones.

Chapter 311 The Flower Magician Reappears

"The number of robots is only fifteen. The number of magicians is still six...five..."

Counting the responses of the sensors projected on the retina, Origami murmured softly.

At this moment, the target has five people left plus fifteen 'Beasts'.From seventy to twenty, Origami shot down about two-thirds of the original number.

"..."

After catching the image of the wreckage of the robot that had just been shot down falling to the ground in the corner of his vision, Origami exhaled.

It has a slender body, thick wrists, feet with joints in the opposite direction to human ones, a smooth head like a full-face helmet, CR-Units equipped on important parts of the body, etc.

Origami was sure that she had seen machines that looked like robots.

More than two months ago, I went on an educational trip to Orme Island.Origami planned to go out to find the taxi that had not returned in the storm, but what blocked Origami's path at that time was a robot of the same type as them.

However, she had previously suspected some dark side of these robots, but now that she has shot down these guys herself, Origami has become aware of something about these robots.

There is no doubt that the 'Beast' is a robot. At least except for a certain brain origami that cannot be confirmed at the moment, it is indeed a robot in other aspects.

"However, the strength of these robots is not too bad. At least the AST troops may not be able to easily defeat them one-on-one. And looking at the number of these guys, even if they are not mass-produced, they are not far away from mass production."

"But, even so, don't even think about hurting the people below!"

Thinking of this, Origami's eyes narrowed and she gave instructions in her head.

Aim and lock the magician and robot in sight, and expand the fixed-point random area.Although deploying more than ten random areas at the same time will reduce accuracy, it is still possible to immobilize the enemy in an instant.Quickly deploy containers No. [-] to No. [-] and launch missiles at the target.

All the magicians broke free from their restraints and avoided the attack at the critical moment.However, two 'Beasts' were hit on the head and body respectively and then fell downwards.

"Damn it, damn it, why is a guy like you so strong!"

Naturally, a furious Jessica and all the remaining DEM magicians began to target Origami, firing laser cannons and missiles.

However, Origami was not kind enough to take all the attacks again.The high-output flight thrusters mounted under the weapons container were activated, and it flew rapidly through the sky at a speed that did not look like a giant machine like the 'white Lycoris'.

For attacks that are too late to evade, Origami deploys a fixed-point random field on the predetermined flight path, or instantly strengthens the random field of the shot site to defend against the attack.

Origami was no match for the 'beast' with her bare hands.But when she was equipped with 'whiteLycoris', the situation was completely different.
