Chapter 427 Prelude to Reorganization
A few days later, RiNG
Today, everyone in Arknights had nothing to do, so they met at a cafe and discussed the band issue of my cousin's group.
At the bar nearby, Li Xi, who was on duty today, was just listening quietly. To put it in perspective, his expression... definitely didn't look very good.
"Ok?"
Suddenly, our Lenai walked into the cafe with a guitar in her arms.
After smiling at Xue, he walked straight to the bar and grabbed Li Xi.
"Come play the drums."
"what?"
Li Xi felt somewhat ashamed of Lenai's sudden request.
“I’m still working!”
"It's okay~"
Seeing this, Rinrinko, who was sitting at the bar, spoke with a smile, looking like she was enjoying the fun.
"Eh?"
With Rinrinko's permission, Lenai pulled, or rather, pulled, Riki out from behind the bar without saying a word.
"This child..."
Xue smiled helplessly. Her cousin was indeed too cute. Even her eccentricity and self-willedness were consistent.
"Let's go and have a look too."
The six of them put on their camouflage glasses in tacit understanding, stood up and went to the inner hall of the performance hall together.
……
When they arrived at the inner hall, Lixi had already been pulled to the side of the stage by Lenai, and many guests had gathered in the audience, including a familiar face.
"Xiao Mu?"
Our Nana saw her taciturn cousin at a glance, with a look of surprise on her face.
"...Sister Selina."
Mu responded to Nana in her usual mosquito-like voice, and Nana was already used to it.
"Hmm~ Are you here to watch the live show?"
"…Yes."
The two didn't say anything else, but looked at the stage together, looking at Deng, Lenai and Lixi who were about to continue the LIVE.
Under the gaze of the six people and the audience, Lixi sat down and picked up the drumsticks.
Deng smiled lightly and continued her singing...or rather, poetry recitation.
“Eh? This is…”
Seeing the novel LIVE format of the three people on the stage, the other four people except Xue and Xiao Mo couldn't help but be stunned.
Xue and Xiaomo, who were watching this special LIVE not for the first time, did not answer their questions.
As the recitation progressed, the four of them, especially Qian, gradually understood what it meant.
"Is this how Xiao Deng expresses her inner feelings... She really has that child's style~"
Akane chuckled, her tone a bit lamentable.
"that…"
"What's wrong? Sister Rinrinko?"
When the three of them were about to end their live performance on stage, Rinrinko suddenly approached the six people named Xue for some unknown reason.
"Although this is very sudden, could you please do a live performance in ten minutes?"
Seeing Rinrinko clasping her hands together, the six realized that there might be a small problem with the next band.
"…It's not impossible, is there something wrong with the next group?"
"Well, you'll find out if you follow me backstage."
The six people followed Rinrinko to the backstage lounge, and saw a girl with golden twin ponytails and clothes that looked inexplicably like a Vtuber. She was holding her belly and her face didn't look very good.
Beside her, her teammates also looked worried.
"..."
Seeing this, Xue and the other six said nothing and reached a consensus silently.
"Ms. Rinrinko..."
The girl with golden twintails and her teammates all looked at Rinrinko.
"Although it's a bit regrettable... I still suggest that you, Xiao Luling, cancel your performance. After all, your health is more important."
"But soon..."
The blonde girl with twin tails, who already looked unhappy, now showed a hint of anxiety on her face.
“…Leave it to us.”
Xue looked at the girls whose costumes were very impressive and took off her glasses.
“You are…!?”
When the girls saw Xue’s true appearance, they were immediately shocked.
"Just like you think, rest well, health is the most important thing, not to mention..."
Xue paused.
“…the audience wants to see you giving your all to show who you are and what your band is doing, not you being in a bad state.”
Hearing Xue's words, Rinrinko couldn't help but be stunned for a moment - she saw the shadow of her former boss, Xue's grandmother, Tsuzuki Shifune, in Xue.
This kind of seriousness and determination towards music... She is indeed the boss's granddaughter...
"We know..."
Since their idol said so, the girls stopped arguing.
……
Arriving at RiNG's Arknights exclusive practice room, the six of them immediately discussed the repertoire for this impromptu LIVE.
After nearly fifteen minutes of discussion within the barrier, the six decided to play three new old songs.
As for why they are said to be brand new old songs... after all, these three songs are the band's earliest works, and when they were performed for the only time, Qian had not yet joined the band.
"A little practice?"
Xue looked at her teammates, and the five of them nodded.
Three hours later, the practice was over and preparations were complete, and Xue lifted the barrier with a thought.
Except for Qian, Xingge and Xue who planned to go into the practice session empty-handed, the other three took the spare instruments that they had placed in the RiNG practice room in case of emergency, and returned to the lounge together.
"Sister Rin Rin, we are back."
"Xiao Deng, is your LIVE over yet?"
At this moment, Deng and the other two had finished their LIVE and returned to the lounge.
"Well, Sister Qian, what are you doing..."
Deng nodded, feeling a little strange when he saw Arknights appearing in the lounge fully armed.
"I was asked by Sister Linlinzi to temporarily go on stage to fill in the next performance position."
Hearing this, Deng and Li Xi beside her nodded in understanding. As for Lenai... the cat always smiles.JPG.
……
As the six members of Snow came onto the stage, the audience immediately showed puzzled expressions.
This is different from what's written on today's schedule. Why would Arknights...
"Everyone~ I haven't seen you for a while, are you feeling alright~!"
As one of Snow's mouthpieces in iceberg mode, Qian started interacting with the audience right from the start.
"it is good!!!"
Although they were confused, this did not affect the audience's excitement at all.
"I think you must be wondering why we are here today?"
"It happened unexpectedly. The original band was unable to come here to perform due to some force majeure, so we were commissioned by RiNG to fill the next position."
Xiao Mo took over Qian's words, and the audience suddenly understood.
"Anyway..."
“…Please enjoy the new sounds of the past.”
Xue spoke slowly, and amidst the audience's renewed confusion, the lights suddenly went out.
"もしも明がdrawけたら."
As soon as the song title came out, several Arknig hts fans who had been in the audience for ten years were instantly excited. It had been so long since they had heard this song...
"This song is!!!"
"Aimee, what's wrong with you? Why are you so excited all of a sudden?"
A blonde girl looked at her friend beside her with an expression that was even more exaggerated than usual, and was somewhat frightened.
"Caisha, this song, this song!"
"What's wrong with this song?"
The blonde girl was a little confused.
"There's no mistake, absolutely no mistake, this song, this song was made when Arknights was still a four-member group!"
"!"
Hearing this, the blonde girl was stunned for a moment, then showed the same shocked expression as her friend.
I'm so excited, it's an early work by Arknights that has never been officially released anywhere!
"Girl Ryu..."
When they heard the title of the second song of the day, most of the fans in the audience were excited, but a small number of old fans realized something and felt a little chill inexplicably.
Girl Lei, a song written by Yuki during the time when she died in Kyo.
Xue was somewhat mentally unstable at that time, so although the arrangement of this song sounds cheerful, the lyrics give people a completely opposite feeling of depression - there is a sense that the protagonist of the song is lying on the railroad tracks with a happy smile on his face, waiting for the train to come, and reunite with the one he loves in the underworld, never to be separated from the beauty.
After a song, Xue's eyes were already slightly red. She still underestimated her longing for Jing...
"..."
Taking a deep breath, Xue quickly adjusted her mood and read out the name of the last song of today's impromptu LIVE.
"...正しくなれない."
Upon hearing this, the whole audience cheered, even Lixi, who was sitting in the audience with Deng, was no exception - this was her favorite song.
"..."
Beside, Deng was already stunned. The lyrics of this song... described exactly what was happening to him and Aine right now...
