Chapter 205

"Hasegawa-kun, it's almost your turn!"

Just as they were slacking off in the music club, the Disciplinary Committee Member they had met before came over and reminded them.

"Alright, it's our turn to go on stage and perform. Let's show them the magic of music!"

With her guitar slung over her shoulder, Hasegawa Izumi exuded an artistic aura, like a rock musician.

The auditorium is where the main stage performances take place.

The Student Council posted the program list on the bulletin board before the performance began.

Therefore, when the most important performance of the day arrived, the auditorium was packed with people who had been looking forward to it, and even the area outside the auditorium was crowded with people.

This is beyond the original design.

After all, no program has ever attracted so much attention before.

The previous play ended, and the lights dimmed.

The audience below couldn't help but hold their breath.

A series of crisp footsteps echoed from the stage, and six figures gradually emerged. The lights came on again, revealing their true identities: a group led by Hasegawa Izumi.

The drum set, guitar, bass, and microphone for singing are all ready.

"We are the Far East Magic Band, and I am the lead vocalist Hasegawa..."

"I'm bassist Nagasaki."

"I am Takanashi, the guitarist."

"I am the drummer, Takanashi."

"I am guitarist Dekumori."

"I am Natsukawa, the keyboardist."

"We are about to play some Magic Power music. Please enjoy..."

They began with self-introductions, which, as expected, drew cheers.

"Oh!"

Hasegawa Izumi raised a finger to her lips and then shushed.

The room fell silent.

"Next, please listen to our performance."

A beautiful prelude then began.

92 He is God

The sounds of drums, guitar, and bass filled the air.

Without any pleasantries or announcements, the performance began abruptly the moment the drummer caught the rhythm and started playing.

With just a brief intro, a surge of inexplicable emotion welled up as the music flowed from the fingertips.

Because their music has transcended the mundane, it resonates deeply with the audience.

Even a parched heart will not give up the struggle to move forward.

"I'm sorry, there's really nothing I can do."

How I long to share your pain!

"Yet you stubbornly refuse to give me even a fraction of it."

"Just so I can live purely and never look back."

"Then you turned your back to me and left my side."

"On the loney rail~"

Hasegawa Izumi held the microphone, casually playing the guitar while singing with great emotion, her slightly deep voice gradually rising higher.

"Oh~!"

The spectators outside the stadium couldn't help but cheer and applaud.

This part alone makes the Culture Festival feel worthwhile.

Just then, Hasegawa Izumi switched places with Takanashi Rikka and took over singing.

"I'm willing to follow behind you."

"No matter how rugged the road, even if we are plunged into a world of utter darkness."

"And you, shining brightly beside me!"

Takanashi Rikka her slightly immature voice, conveying a unique sense of power that captivated listeners with her voice and lyrics.

These words were actually what she truly felt.

The Wicked Eye of the Tyrant King User, who once lived alone in the darkness, has finally encountered his own light.

She was willing to fight for the light, even at the cost of everything, existing only for him.

"Hold hands and go beyond the end of the future."

"We are already so vulnerable, let's not let our souls be hurt as well."

"My way overlaps with mine."

"At this moment, let us bathe together, God bless..."

Dekomori Sanae took over the singing, memories of the journey she had taken filled her mind, and the emotion in her heart made her eyes glisten with emotion.

It is precisely because she is Lord Sage that she is able to fulfill her dreams and live peacefully in the New world.

The Lord Sage is her god, always blessing her.

"You are before my eyes, I am beside you."

"Those outside of you and me cannot see their figures."

"In my gentle dreams, I meticulously depict my beautiful vision, stroke by stroke."

Nibuya Morika sang loudly, pouring out her emotions without reservation.

She once had the happiest time of her life.

He painted a magnificent dream for himself.

But she didn't know how to cherish it.

Now, how she wishes time could turn back, back to a story that only involved the two of them.

"Fingertips gently caress the wounds covering her body...!"

Natsukawa Masuzu sang this part, and was also moved by the emotions, her eyes revealing genuine feelings.

She was an awkward woman, with an extremely bad personality—shameless, unscrupulous, pitiful, tragic, and miserable...

But no matter what, that person was able to take it all in stride, treating himself like a mischievous child, and accepting his own actions.

During this time, the coldness in the Girlish Heart, which had been soothed and her wounds healed, had long since melted away.

I have to admit...

She had long harbored feelings for the Club President.

"That's why I'm willing to follow behind you."

"No matter how rugged the road, even if we are plunged into a world of utter darkness..."

Natsukawa Masuzu excited that she even forgot about her own beauty while singing, her face contorted in a ferocious expression.

In short, the girls don't know if God really exists, but they are certain that Hasegawa Izumi is God in their hearts.

Offstage, the audience clapped and cheered in time with the music.

The News Department trio of Asahi Shizuku, Ki Karen, and Kyose Erika, along with the Nakano Quintuplets their distinct personalities, and their former rivals from the challenge, Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Ai, all have their eyes fixed on the band on stage.

Although Hasegawa is known as the 'King of Shuchiin,' not everyone likes him. Some people still think his past actions were too violent. However, after listening to this performance today, many quiet, literary girls have come to appreciate his charm.

A blonde, twin-tailed Young Lady standing in the best spot watched this scene with a stunned expression, deeply moved.

I felt something different from my Childhood Friend.

The song ended.

"Oh~!"

"Far East Magic" is the best!

"Hasegawa! Hasegawa! Hasegawa!"

Another round of enthusiastic cheers erupted.

"Izumi-chan sang really well, and the other girls also performed well, especially in terms of emotional investment; they were all quite serious, unlike someone else."

The sound of Sawamura Sayuri's voice beside her startled her awake.

Who is this person referring to?

Eriri glanced at her mother.

Why ask a question you already know the answer to?

Sawamura Sayuri touched her cheek with one hand, her tone teasing.

"I... I understand."

The girl gritted her teeth, which was tantamount to admitting the truth.

The performance has ended.

The Far East Magic Society members, along with two other girls, evaded everyone's pursuit and arrived at the secluded rooftop.

Compared to the excitement just now, the atmosphere here seemed rather desolate.

"That was fantastic, a truly outstanding performance. I will never forget this day..."

Nagasaki-san said, wiping away tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Me too... It's so disappointing. I wish I could be in a band for life."

Wakaba's spirit floated away from her body, and then casually uttered a joke.

Both of them felt very honored and moved to be able to participate in today's band performance.

"If there is an opportunity."

Hasegawa Izumi said something that seemed nonsensical.

"Is there a chance? I hope we can meet again in the next life..."

Wakaba paused for a moment, then laughed happily.

"Wakaba, your body..."

Because of the possession, Nagasaki-san could see his friend's spirit directly, which was gradually fading away.

"No problem, this means I'm about to 'ascend to heaven,' isn't that a good thing? As Kyoko you, Kyoko, I hope you live to be a hundred! Remember to take good care of yourself, don't die young like me..."

Wakaba's obsession had subsided and she was no longer obsessed, she could face the matter with complete equanimity.

"Yes... I will."

Nagasaki-san nodded reluctantly.

"Thank you everyone, goodbye~"

In mid-air, the girl's smile and body gradually faded away and eventually disappeared.

"Wow..."

At this moment, Nagasaki-san couldn't hold back any longer and knelt down, weeping bitterly.

Witnessing this scene of life and death, none of the members of the Far East Magic Society spoke, each lost in their own thoughts.
