Yes, Yili is not the lead singer...but, probably everyone present doesn't know what their lyrics mean like she does.
These words... are what I want to say.
...and the kind that Xin classmate loves the most...super bad jokes.
【I am alone on this earth. 】
Alone...Hitori Boochi...I don't know if Xin-san heard it?
Thinking of this, Goto Ichiri gently moved his sea-blue eyes and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki not far away.
...Ah, you're laughing.
I guess I heard it.
For a moment, I wasn't nervous at all...
As expected, we have to rely on ROCK or something to speak... Not good, another terrible joke.
Being able to meet Nobuyuki again... Thank you so much, God.
The music gradually fades away at this moment.
"Huh...huh..."
Ijichi Hongxia was breathing in the slightly cooler air among the stars in big gulps, as if the intense performance made the oxygen active.
"...Next, it's the band's second original song—"
"【Turn over the rock, and the morning light will fall on you】!"
Hong Xia grasped the drumsticks tightly with her trembling hands, looked around at her teammates, tried to calm her excitement, and once again announced the title of an unheard-of song.
If there were tens of thousands of audience friends in the audience, there would surely be thunderous cheers like an overwhelming tidal wave at this moment.
At the same time, Goto Ichiri took a deep breath of the slightly cool air under the stars, which was now inexplicably agitated. In his sea-blue eyes, the figure of Nakagawa Nobuyuki was clearly visible.
I, too, have a little courage...!
However, there is still one thing that is a little puzzling...that is, why does Ijichi Xingge's expression look a little indescribably strange?
-
PS.
[Turn over the rocks, and the morning light falls on you]
The End band did sing this song by AKG, I hope everyone will go and listen to Little Boqi’s version of this!

Chapter 244…and the morning light falls on you.
"New song..."
Theoretically speaking, as an older sister, Ijichi Hoshika should be happy that the band formed by her younger sister has come up with a new original song that is more appealing.
However, at this moment, Ijichi Xingge clearly showed a very complicated expression... It was an expression that was somewhat happy, but also a bit hesitant, and it was difficult to express such an expression in words.
Biting her thin lips lightly, Yidizhi Xingge continued reading.
The PA lady on the side naturally noticed Ichichi Hoshige like this, but she turned her gaze away lightly and didn't intend to say anything.
On the contrary, Nakagawa Nobuyuki on the side showed a very curious look at this moment.
... flip the rock?
Compared to the previous song which could be called catharsis and music, this song is peaceful and somewhat unique.
The first thing that comes into my ears is the light and floating sound of the guitar...
I thought the focus would be on the feeling of [flipping the rock], but the focus turned out to be on the light and airy feeling of [the morning light falling]...
Really, I really like this relaxed style.
After all, just hearing about [flipping rocks] all the time is too heavy.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki leaned against the table, holding up his chin and listening with great interest.
Moreover, Nakagawa Nobuyuki was still curious about the title of the song. Why was it called... [Flip Rock]?
And with such doubts, the next moment... the soft singing voice was heard by everyone.
However, it was not the high-pitched and energetic singing voice of Kita Ikuyo, but the most unexpected child.
It’s Goto Ichiri.
It was Goto Ichiri, who usually hid behind everyone, who was now facing the microphone and singing hard with his timid and small voice.
[If I could, I would like to change this world...]
【However, I don’t have such a grand idea as to eliminate war from the world. 】
[But... you have thought about it, right? ]
"Ichiri, that's awesome...keep it up!"
Kita Ikuyo lowered her voice, probably wanting to encourage Goto Ichiri, who was doing just as planned.
However, I don’t know if Goto Ichiri, who is keeping his head down, can hear it.
As for Nakagawa Nobuyuki in the audience, he was the one who felt a lot of emotion at this moment.
Sure enough, it was the right decision to introduce Yili to the Ending Band here.
Maybe the band really has some magic that they can't understand?
Both myself and Yili...we haven't been involved in band activities for very long, but even so, both of us have undergone significant changes.
I have made so many friends... and Ichiri can even be the lead singer now... Oh, it's a pity that I don't have any literary talent, otherwise I would really like to write a haiku or a book or something.
Just like that, Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was expressing his feelings, happened to meet the eyes of Goto Ichiri on the stage.
[…More than that, I can’t even smile properly in front of you…]
[You can't do anything about me like this, right? ]
A faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but Goto Ichiri did not look away as he did in the past. Instead, he stared closely at Nakagawa Nobuyuki.
Nakagawa Nobuyuki was also fulfilling his promise at this moment. He looked closely at Goto Ichiri and encouraged Goto Ichiri with his smiling eyes.
Similarly, perhaps because he saw his classmate Nobuyuki, Goto Ichiri's rosy face became even brighter and his voice became even more solid.
Actually, I’m not that good at singing… Compared to Kita-san, my singing voice must be low, deep and super ugly…
But, as long as I am with Xin... Xin will not look down on me... Maybe, in this way, I can really do anything.
Whether it's writing lyrics, roadshows... or even singing in front of everyone, I can do it myself... Even joining the band is all thanks to Xin.
Perhaps, as I am now, I really...really cannot leave classmate Xin.
Classmate Xin, have you ever wondered why you came up with such words?
...This isn't really any reasoning at all.
The thoughts that rolled in like the waves did not block Goto Ichiri's singing and memories.
[Rocks turn over and over...]
Where will it take us?
[And the light radiating from the hillside——]
[It is the morning light that exposes your loneliness. ]
Ah, so this is the question?
It really is [Turn over the rock and the morning light will fall on you].
Looking at Goto Ichiri who was becoming more and more determined in front of him, Nakagawa Nobuyuki let out a long sigh, and the feeling of regret in his heart grew stronger.
Mr. Sisyphus, thank you for your hard work. Not only do you have to be my avatar, but you also have to be made into a song...
[After turning the corner in the distance...]
[I will never see you again here. ]
Every day without Xin classmate... seems unbearable.
If I hadn’t happened to see Xin’s recommendation, I might not have been able to follow Xin here.
God, thank you so much.
Mr. Sisyphus, thank you very much too.
I don’t know how many times... I held my phone tightly like that, fantasizing about my reunion with classmate Xin.
After I met Nobuyuki again, I finally felt happy again...
hum-
Just like that, the sound of the instruments faded away.
"…End, the band's live show has come to an end here. If possible, please support us in the future!"
From the speakers came the panting voice of Hong Xia, sounding extremely happy and excited.
This time, it’s definitely passed!
Not only were there new songs, but everyone was also very cooperative! Even Pochi, who I was most afraid of having problems with, had no problems, and the emotions were so rich and perfect!
In addition, there are Ryo, Kita... they all work very hard!
Really, really! It's just a performance by a few people, why am I crying... This shouldn't be the case, really shouldn't be the case! If I want to make myself cry, I should at least go to a martial arts hall or something like that!
After sniffing her sore nose and wiping her gradually blurred vision, Ijichi Hongxia finally pulled herself together.
However, even though she was so happy, when Ichichi Hongxia was about to excitedly ask Ichichi Xingge about the result, she suddenly seemed to see something, and her smile suddenly became a little forced.
My sister’s expression…after the initial surprise, became very serious.
It's not that kind of... cold face that a tsundere deliberately puts on, but that kind of... cold face that is deliberately put on because one has nothing to say, or is unwilling to speak.
why?
Didn’t it pass?
No, that's not right. I have clearly played at my best level, right?
"..."
At this moment, in Yidizhi Xingge's heart, there were also extremely intense and complex fluctuations.
Originally... Ijichi Hoshika didn't actually plan to announce that it had passed, but to say that if it didn't meet the standards this time, she would try again next time...
She thought that as a fledgling band, Hongxia and her friends’ live performance level would not be very high...but the result was completely beyond her expectations.
Do you want to deny it forcefully?
Biting her lip lightly, the balance in Yidizhi Xingge's heart began to shake.
...That kind of thing can't be done.
The live performance was great, the level was very high, the music was also great... in fact, it was almost the same as myself back then.
But, that's what I'm worried about.
After a long time, in the atmosphere that was gradually becoming stagnant, Yidizhi Xingge finally made up his mind, gritted his teeth and spoke.
“…If you guys are going to schedule a show, you have to follow the rules of other bands!”
This is undoubtedly consent.
Looking at the people celebrating in front of her, Hong Xia was of course relieved...but, no matter what, she couldn't be as happy as she was just now.
Hongxia, probably caught a glimpse of her sister's mood.

Chapter 245: Miss Xingge's instructions to Zhonghe Xin are...
The lively celebration at the end of the band was indeed very touching, but just when Goto Ichiri was about to muster up the courage to pull up Nakagawa Nobuyuki, Ijichi Hoshika, who had been silent, interrupted everyone in a deep voice.
"… Nakagawa, let's wait for the celebration."
