About the fact that I unintentionally raised my sister to be a cripple

At first, Sakakibara thought that most of the people who played rock music had colorful punk hairstyles, black leather clothes with iron chains and metal ornaments all over their bodies. However, as Sakakibara gradually understood this circle, she began to realize I found that it was just the stereotype of ordinary people about rock music. Put on a T-shirt, a coat, and at most a beret. It's just an ordinary person's outfit with no distinctive features on the street.

There are three bands participating in this livehouse, and most of the others are duos or solo singers. The time starts at 7 pm and ends at around 2:30 am. During the rehearsal, Sakakihara Rakudo paid attention. Just as Miss Mi Dahui said, the only band that attended as high school students was RUNTO, which was just formed. The other bands were all from society, and there was one band with an average age. The 50-year-old uncle band.

Before the official performance, all the band members sat around in the preparation room to rest and chat.

Sakakihara Raku and several others sat in the leftmost corner of the preparation room.

"Brother, brother." Sakakibara Suzu lowered her voice and leaned close to Sakakibara Raku's ear, her eyes constantly peeking to the other side.

"What to do?" Sakakihara answered while holding the bass, while continuing to put his fingers on the strings, recalling the part of the rhythm he was responsible for.

Sakakibara kept looking at the other bands who were talking and laughing, and lowered her voice in Sakakibara's ear and said, "I feel like they all know each other."

Sakakihara looked down at his fingers and replied nonchalantly: "Isn't it normal for people who play music in the same place to get to know each other?"

"Normal. Normal is normal, but brother, do you feel that we are being left out and excluded? They just communicate with a bunch of people, and they don't even bring us!"

"No, a captain came to say hello to me just now."

"Really? Why didn't I see you chatting with them?"

"It's just a matter of saying hello and getting to know each other."

"Hey, isn't this being left out in the cold?"

"You are too sensitive."

Sakakihara Raku also knew what his sister was thinking. She just felt awkward being in a place with a bunch of people she didn't know at all.

How should I describe this feeling? It's probably like going on a group tour and finding out that everyone knows everyone except you. They are chatting enthusiastically and having a great time. It doesn't matter if you can't get into the conversation at all, even the tour guide is there. I also forgot your existence when collecting statistics.

As Sakakihara said, if you don't pay attention to him, you will feel at ease alone.

But Ah Ling didn't seem to like this feeling.

Senior loner Tianhai Qi Mingyue spoke at this time: "It's normal not to take the initiative to talk. Regardless of whether you have heard of our band or not, in terms of age and the school uniforms we are wearing, they are a group of adults. It’s also difficult to find topics to talk about with us high school students.”

Sakakibara couldn't help but said: "Miss Qiyue, you are the most powerful among us. You also have an investment foundation. When you join the company, the boss will take the initiative to welcome you. .”

His subtext is that Qi Mingyue is definitely not an ordinary high school student. When she communicates with adults, there are many topics to talk about.

"Brother, what you said is very good, but please note that I am talking about 'us' now. And work is work. If you ask me to talk about the depression of life with that group of people, I will not be able to empathize with you at all."

"There may be a reason why our band has not been recognized yet." Tianhai Jiuliuli, who touched his lips to the mug next door, raised his head and said.

"After all, there are no results, and that's as it should be." Sakakibara nodded.

"You've never heard of our band's name at all!" Sakakihara Suzu raised a hand.

"."

Everyone was silent, and there was indeed no one who was expecting them to perform on stage.

Sure enough, as soon as we talked about this, the atmosphere became inexplicably heavy. I will keep thinking about how the band will perform and how the audience will evaluate them.

If the performance fails on this stage with thousands of people, wouldn’t the audience give thumbs up, boo, tell them to step off the stage, and clamor for refunds?

This can simply make their band quit the rock music circle directly, and then seal the instruments like sealing monsters!

"Hmph~~"

At this time, Suzu Sakakihara suddenly spoke. Her confident look broke the slightly solemn atmosphere. She put her hands on her hips and raised her mouth:

"But, actually, we have fans who come to the venue, maybe more than other bands."

Sakakibara rolled his eyes and said, "We are a small band and have never uploaded any songs online. Where do we get the fans?"

Sakakibara Suzu waved her hands, full of confidence: "Brother is superficial! You have forgotten who I am! After all, I am a big voice Yuyu with hundreds of thousands of fans!"

Regardless of the fact that her "hundreds of thousands" is actually only "more than a hundred thousand", it is true that with the last work, A Ling does have a high reputation on the Internet.

Her identity is a voice actress and short video blogger.

When Sakakihara Raku occasionally watches videos, he will see the simple short videos posted by Suzu with millions of likes.

Everyone who commented was like "Ahhhh, Suzu-chan is so cute!" ], [Ling-chan, feed me the cake! ], [Rin-chan Suzu-chan, can you reveal the character you will be dubbing in the next movie? ], [Why don’t Suzu-chan Suzu-chan post more videos, she’s so cute! ] Fans speaking like this and so on.

Wait a minute, plus her own short video account, it seems that she really has hundreds of thousands of fans.

Sakakibara touched his chin and his eyes lit up: "You mean, you called your own fans over to cheer us up?"

"Humph~ I still gave notice a few days in advance. I posted updates on Twitter and TikTok. Fans have also known for a long time that I was in a rock band recently. Just now I learned that there is a live broadcast on this stage. I took advantage of my free time to post two more updates. There are probably fans waiting in the live broadcast room now. Brother, you can check them out on your phone."

"Let me see."

Raku Sakakihara took out his mobile phone, found the stage live broadcast website he knew from Miss Mido before, and came to the live broadcast room. There were not many people in the live broadcast room, but when I glanced at the comment area, I did find that there were many enthusiastic viewers who supported [RUNTO]. They all said that they were already there and asked when it would start.

Of course, more people are still asking when they can see the bell. It made them seem like the main band at the scene.

[When will it start? ], [What is the rank of RUNTO? ], [I heard that they are going to cover Suzu-chan’s recent anime OP, is that true? ]

A barrage of barrages related to his small band flashed across the phone screen.

Not only was the previous inexplicable pressure gone, but also a passion to do my best to perform well emerged in my heart.

[Go for it! ]

I will encourage myself in my heart like this.

"Hey, how are you, bro? Doesn't it feel good to have someone's support?"

Sakakibara put away his phone, "I finally understand why you are so tired of being a voice actor, but you still have to persevere. The feeling of having someone supporting you really gives you a lot of confidence."

"Is this a great achievement?"

"We'll have a big dinner when we get home!"

"I want grilled steak!"

"eat!"

As time went on, more and more people came to the underground stage. Raku Sakakibara, who was in the preparation room on the second floor, could already see the thousands of spectators below who were about to fill the entire huge underground space. People were passing through, Most of them gathered in front of the bar on the right under the lights. Some ordered to buy fruit wine, some lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones, and some wore headscarves with the singer's name written on them. They held light sticks in both hands and waited for the official performance. start.

An inexplicable feeling is brewing in the atmosphere of the music festival.

Sakakihara Raku held the iron railing on the second floor and looked into the distance. He could only see a dark crowd under the lights of the steel frame above his head.

A thousand people was far more than he had imagined.

He even saw someone holding a Led support sign with the word [Suzuki] written on it.

This made Sakakibara smile knowingly.

Ah Ling has really become a little idol.

"Everyone from RUNTO."

The visitor was Miss Mi Duohui, who was in charge of the on-site co-ordination work. She came to the preparation room and called everyone in school uniforms together.

"Before performing, I first need to confirm your position. The staff will move your instruments up later."

Sakakihara Raku discussed with everyone for a while, and there was no doubt that the lead singer A Suzu and the lead guitarist Yuki must be in the front C position. Although the drummer Nanami Mingzuki is in the back, there is a high platform and the position is also very conspicuous. Kururi and Sakakihara Raku are the two guardians of the band, and they are responsible for polishing the music on both sides.

After informing Miss Midohui of the location, she put away her workbook and said to everyone with a smile:

"Don't you feel any pressure?"

Raku Sakakibara: "There will definitely be pressure, but it's not a big problem."

"In that case, well, come on, everyone! You are the fourth guest to appear, which is also a very important time."

The show time is approaching, and the singers in front have already created a warm atmosphere above the stage, with loud music and a lively atmosphere. On the stage, the singer wore gorgeous costumes and sang songs enthusiastically. The exciting beat was accompanied by cheerful melody. The dazzling lights hit the microphone he held high, and a blast of rock rhythm made the audience cheer.

Even Raku Sakakihara, who was in the preparation room on the second floor, could feel the vibrations on the floor.

He put his hands on the guardrail and watched the enthusiastic response from the audience.

Tianhai Qimingyue came to his side and looked at the crowd below with him.

"Speaking of which, Qi Mingyue, why do you rarely play the violin? Jiu Liuli will take time to practice piano even on Saturdays and Sundays. And you basically just read books at school and never brought the violin to school. "

"What do you think, brother?"

"You and Jiuliuli were both called talented girls at the beginning, right? But according to the reviews I found on the Internet, Jiuliuli was always slightly better. Compared to you, everyone praised Jiuliuli's peerless talent more. "

It was quiet for a while.

"No matter how shining a star is, it can only serve as a foil next to another star that shines brighter." Tianhai Qimingyue said lightly, "I told you a long time ago that my sister can actually play the violin. , As for why I am not in charge of the piano, I believe that you, brother, probably have the answer in your own mind."

"Oh." Sakakibara understood and sighed.

To put it bluntly, Qi Mingyue has always been setting off Jiu Liuli, and Qi Mingyue is just uncomfortable.

July definitely has its own arrogance.

Even though I respect my sister in my heart, I still have some reluctance to admit defeat.

Instead of always supporting your sister, it's better to quit as soon as possible.

Looking back at Sakakibara Raku when he was a child, he can better understand the origin of Nanami Mingzuki's unwillingness to admit defeat.

Because my aunt has devoted most of her resources to Jiuliuli since she was a child, whether it is education or care, her focus has always been on Jiuliuli.

But what are seven and nine?

They are twins who are only five minutes apart and have been closely connected since childhood!

Such differential treatment will definitely neglect Qiyue, and it will definitely make her feel sad and uncomfortable, and give rise to a sense of loss that she is not as good as her sister. This indirectly leads to Qiyue's desire to win over Liuli in the future.

Qi Mingyue didn't have the light to support her when she was a child.

It just so happened that Raku Sakakibara was the light that led Nanamigetsu forward when she was a child.

Nowadays, the elder sister has to compete with her for the remaining light, which is why Qi Mingyue seems so unconvinced and uncompromising.

Even though Qi Mingyue had all kinds of foresights, she was always extremely uneasy in her heart.

This is why she always wants to consolidate her position and why she likes Sakakibara Raku and takes the initiative to kiss her.

Everything stems from her inner uneasiness.

"Nana Mingzuki." Sakakibara shouted to the girl next to him.

"What?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue said calmly without any expression.

"I want you to feel safe in me."

Tianhai Qimingyue answered him with some contempt: "I don't know if it's because your emotional intelligence has become higher recently, but you have brought back your inexplicable self-confidence before. But you feel that it's okay to lie to my sister, but you can't lie to me. used."

"A sharp mouth, a tofu heart." Sakakihara looked at her side face with flaxen hair hanging down.

"Why do you say that?" Tianhai Qimingyue tucked the hair behind her ear.

"Since you don't want to feel safe from me, why do you keep asking me to kiss you?"

"I'm just enjoying the pleasure of stealing items from my sister."

"That's not the case."

Tianhai Qimingyue turned away.

"July."

"If you say no, it's not."

"July."

"No matter how much you say. Wait, why are you pulling me?"

"Come with me."

Sakakihara pulled her to the second underground floor, into a dressing room next to the preparation room. There was no one here and the space was quite small.

He took the initiative to push the Tianhai Qiming Moon Wall against the wall and put his hand next to her face.

The sky-blue eyes as deep as the ice ocean of Tianhai Qimingyue reflected his appearance. The girl had an expressionless face, leaning against the wall, her face slightly turned to the right, and she glanced at his arm that was supporting her shoulders.

"I have become a lot tougher recently." Tianhai Qimingyue's voice was still very calm.

"Seven bright moons."

Sakakibara's serious voice brought her eyes back to the front. She noticed that he was very close and his eyes were staring at her.

"what you up to?"

"Are you not scared anymore?" Sakakihara asked, staring at her.

"No, I know you won't do anything to me." Tianhai Qimingyue faced his gaze openly.

Their eyes met and stared at each other.

Sakakibara took the initiative to kiss her on the mouth. Amami Nanami subconsciously pushed his chest with her hands, but before exerting any force, he suddenly left again.

"What did you do suddenly?"

"I like you, July."

"Then?" Tianhai Qimingyue pursed her lips that had just been kissed, "You suddenly kissed me?"

"You like this, don't you?"

Tianhai Qimingyue did not speak, which was regarded as acquiescence.

"But Qi Mingyue, I don't like you wholeheartedly. I understand. I also like Jiu Liuli."

"So?" Tianhai Qi Mingyue didn't like hearing this very much, and the dull expression on her face became even colder.

"So I have no way to give up Jiu Liuli." Sakakibara continued to say seriously, "I know I'm sorry for you, but I'm very sorry. I really can't let go of Jiu Liuli. You hate me and hate me, and that's what you should do. After all, I am such a scumbag. But there is only one thing I will not give up, and that is I will not give up liking you, Qi Mingyue."

"Don't you think this is ridiculous? And you are kidnapping me based on your love."

"It's ridiculous, but I have no choice. As I said yesterday, I am not kidnapping you, but asking you for July. If you really can't accept it, I can understand it completely. I will try to To chase you back, whether or not to agree is definitely your own choice for Qi Mingyue.

"Qiyue, you love me, I understand. But I'm sorry, I can only give you half of my love back. Do you accept it?"

Tianhai Qimingyue did not answer any more.

He has made it very clear that his love for him is not everything, and it is his own choice to leave or stay.

If he wants to leave, he will stay, and he will try to pursue it. As for whether he agrees to stay, that is his own choice.

Tianhai Qimingyue was not afraid, but met his gaze and whispered:

"Scumbag."

"Yes." Sakakibara agreed.

"Maybe one day I will stab you in the back with a hatchet."

"This is your right."

"It's obviously your fault, but now you want to put the choice of whether to stay or go in my hands."

"I feel ashamed of you in Qiyue, so even if you leave, I will try to find you."

"Based on your status and attitude towards me at this time?"

"I like you, July."

Sakakibara had no choice. There was really no choice in the face of this situation. All he could do was to try to express his feelings and ask Qiyue for her forgiveness.

He continued to look at Xiang Tianhai Qimingyue's slightly emotional eyes, waiting for her answer.

If she agrees, it means that she is willing to accept Sakakibara's current ideas.

If she refuses, Sakakibara Rakuya will still try to pursue her back.

"Is it necessary to talk about this now?"

"It's not necessary, but I suddenly understood a lot of things just now. It's not inappropriate to ask now. So, Qi Mingyue, what's your answer?"

After Tianhai Qimingyue was silent for a long time, she withdrew her eyes from looking at him, pushed him away and walked aside, folded her hands on her chest, turned her back to him and closed her eyes and said:

"Okay, do you want to perform the next performance well? Haven't you been looking forward to this scene?"

"You agreed?" Sakakihara looked at her back in a Western-style school uniform, not knowing whether he should be happy or not.

"I didn't say I agreed."

"July. Don't be so harsh at this time."

"I'm not being harsh. But I suddenly had another idea."

"What?"

"The first time must be with me."

"."

Amami Nanamigetsu's words were not fluent, and Sakakibara Raku could probably see the awkwardness in her heart from the back of her arms. It seems that she doesn't like to say such words seriously. Of course she was joking casually, but obviously, she was serious at this time.

"Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?"

"Are you shy?" Tianhai Qimingyue turned her back to him and asked.

"Huh? I thought it was gone."

"Admit it, I won't laugh at you. After all, you are just a virgin." After Tianhai Qi Mingyue finished speaking, she coughed twice to cover up her embarrassment.

". It sounds like you have a lot of experience. Besides, this is not something worthy of praise. Why did the topic suddenly change to this!"

"Let me ask you whether you agree or not."

".You agree if I promise?"

"I might agree if I reluctantly do so, but it's impossible now."

Qi Mingyue gave an ambiguous answer.

Sakakihara Raku also heard what she meant, but no matter what, this was the condition for her to soften her attitude. Although this condition was very shameful.

"Then I'll just agree."

"Forget it? Why do you have to forget it? Are you uncomfortable being with me?"

Sakakibara now felt uncomfortable all over, and sighed: "It's just a modal particle. Anyway, I just agreed."

"Okay, that's it, I'm going back."

After Amami Nanamigetsu said these words, Sakakibara Raku watched her leave the locker room with his own eyes. The girl seemed to be escaping from the scene as quickly as possible.

Sakakihara Raku's head was still very messy at this time. After all, Qi Mingyue suddenly brought up that matter.

At first glance, it seems quite outrageous. Why do you say this so suddenly? !

However, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Tianhai Qimingyue's request was not unreasonable.

She understood that as long as she did something like that to her, with her own character, there was absolutely no way she could not be responsible for her.

There is also some desire to win over Jiuliuli.

After all, she still didn't have the sense of security that she would win in front of Jiu Liuli.
