Chapter 162 Bet
Immediately afterwards, Tsuzuki Shisen stood up, crossed his arms, and walked first to Takamatsu Akari.
Under the old woman's imposing gaze, Takamatsu Akari involuntarily shrank her shoulders, but Akari still tried her best to look at her.
Tsuzuki Shisen, however, did not hold back his words; instead, his face tightened and his voice turned cold:
"Without him, you wouldn't be able to sing at all, would you?"
"I……"
Gao Songdeng lowered his head timidly.
She wasn't sure, but that seemed to be the case.
"Silence means admission."
Duzhu Shichuan continued in a cold voice.
Shiina Tatsuki's eyes narrowed suddenly, and she was about to step forward to say something on behalf of Akari.
But then, Shifune Tsuzuki's sharp, hawk-like gaze was fixed on her.
Shiina Riki felt his body involuntarily stiffen.
Tsuzuki Shisen's volume didn't decrease at all. She sternly said to Riki, "And you, is your attention only focused on the lead singer? Do you have the awareness that a drummer should have?"
"That……"
So what?
Shiina Tatsuki subconsciously thought of rebuttals, but the words stuck in her throat like a fishbone, and she couldn't say them.
Because she was indeed more focused on the lights.
Riki could not refute Tsuzuki Shisen's words.
Tsuzuki Shisen continued:
"As a drummer, your job is to provide stable, powerful, and rhythmic drumming support for the entire band, and you should distribute your attention evenly among everyone."
Then, Tsuzuki Shifune turned her gaze to Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo, who were standing to the side.
Immediately, Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo, whose hearts had been hanging in suspense, trembled involuntarily.
"Did you try your best?"
The poetic boat in the capital gazes upon them.
Nagasaki Motoyo recalled that day, before Shiraaki arrived, she was only focused on performing her part well.
The woman in the background, Spring Shadow, was preoccupied with Xiangzi and had no heart for playing music.
Chihaya Aine also asked herself the same question, but she was mostly driven by nervousness.
Su Shi and Aine's expressions also turned somewhat unpleasant.
Duzhu Shichuan lowered his arm and shook his head in disappointment.
She looked back at Bai Qiu and said directly:
"This band, which seems to exist solely because of you, is a substandard band!"
"A band like that won't put on a great show."
Bai Qiu held his breath, looking at everyone. His eyes trembled slightly, and his expression was somewhat uncertain.
The stern words of the poet boatman, the forlorn expressions of the girls.
He saw it all.
The words of Du Zhu Shichuan struck Gao Songdeng and the others like heavy blows.
Similarly, it struck a chord with Bai Qiu.
Are we just going to let Tsuzuki Shisen reject everyone and the band like this?
Of course Bai Qiu was not willing to give in.
Even if you are a well-known senior in the industry.
Bai Qiu wanted to refute her, but he fell silent.
Because deep down, Bai Qiu also realized it.
Although Du Zhushi's words were straightforward, they were not wrong.
Moreover, Bai Qiu also sensed that Tsuzuki Shisen did not entirely want to negate everyone, otherwise he would not have told Riki about the drummer's responsibilities.
The difference between Deng's performance at that live show and after his arrival was like night and day.
Everyone is united because of him, and he has also formed a close connection with everyone without realizing it.
But such close ties are not necessarily a good thing.
In short, people are too dependent on him these days.
But this means that when he's not around, the whole band will be affected.
Bai Qiu couldn't help but think of it.
Perhaps just like when Xiangzi left Crychic, if he leaves Mygo, Mygo might also fall apart.
This is something Bai Qiu doesn't want to see, no matter what.
Take a deep breath.
Bai Qiu made up her mind; things couldn't go on like this any longer.
We must free everyone from his control!
To help everyone truly grow.
Seeing that Bai Qiu, who was always the backbone of the group, had also fallen silent and his expression had changed, the girls showed worry and were even more at a loss.
Tsuzuki Shisen then said to Shiraaki, "So, I won't let Rakuna continue messing around with you guys. Please leave."
After saying this, Tsuzuki Shisen turned and left.
Shiina Ritsuki stepped forward, as if to say something.
"Wait, Lixi."
Bai Qiu suddenly moved and grabbed Li Xi's wrist.
Lixi was forced to stop. "She already said that."
"Believe me, Lixi, I won't be defeated so easily."
Looking at Bai Qiu's firm and serious expression, and feeling the reassuring strength coming from her wrist.
"I see."
Li Xi turned her head away and handed the floor to Bai Qiu.
"Wait a minute, Tsuzuki-senpai." Taking a breath, Bai Qiu called out, "Rakuna wants to stay in our band. It's not right for you to force her to leave, is it?"
"Want to make a bet with us?"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing Bai Qiu's words, Du Zhushi stopped in his tracks.
Despite being hurt by her words, he still wanted to make a bet with her.
Du Zhushichuan developed a slight interest.
She turned around, her sharp gaze landing on Bai Qiu's face.
"Tell me."
Bai Qiu showed no sign of backing down.
Instead, he straightened his back, his expression serious, and said in a firm voice:
“I don’t deny the issues you raised. But I believe that they will be able to overcome the problems you mentioned and do their best to put on a live performance even without me.”
As Bai Qiu finished speaking, Du Zhu Shichuan looked slightly surprised, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.
Most people would be furious after hearing what she said.
She thought Bai Qiu would make excuses or try to explain, but she didn't expect him to admit it so frankly and even want to make a bet.
"Hahaha..." Tsuzuki Shisen couldn't help but laugh and asked, "You want to gamble like this?"
Bai Qiu replied seriously, "I'll bet on whether they can put on a live performance that satisfies you, without me."
Bai Qiu's gaze swept over Li Xi, Deng, Ai Yin, Su Shi, and Yao Le Nai.
He asked, "Everyone, is this alright?"
Under Bai Qiu's encouraging gaze, the girls all nodded in agreement, even though they didn't seem very confident.
Bai Qiu, seemingly encouraged, looked back at the Duzhu Poetry Boat and continued:
“If we win, we’ll let Lena stay in our band.”
Shisen Tsuzuki picked up the conversation and immediately pointed out, "What if you don't meet my requirements and lose?"
"If we lose..."
Bai Qiu fell silent for a moment.
If they lose, will they give up on Lena? Will they stop bothering her?
But now Tsuzuki Shisen no longer agrees to let Rakuna stay at mygo.
This is not a good bet.
Duzhu Shichuan seemed to have seen through Bai Qiu's thoughts and put forward his own conditions.
"If you lose, you'll have to come here and clean for a month, and also tutor Lenai."
"Eh?"
The girls looked up in surprise.
Bai Qiu was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

I'm looking for recommendations for a song that would be perfect for a lantern to be given to Bai Qiu, preferably one that expresses affection. Please leave your recommendations in the comments section. Thank you!
