A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 2573: Chapter 1721: Training Camp (Every Day Is Getting Busier)_2

"This place is really amazing."

Looking at the hall in front of her, Yahata Miru couldn’t help but express her admiration.

"I’ve heard the name SPACE before, but I never performed here. I heard everyone was quite disappointed when it closed."

"Is that so?"

Duanmu Huai spoke casually while sipping on bottled water.

"Yes, it was... well, at most a year or two ago. It’s strange, it’s not that long ago, but now it feels like it happened ages ago..."

"Why not revive it then? Since everything’s here, I heard the previous owner sold it because they were too old to manage it. So it might be worth considering reopening it." freeweɓnovel.cøm

"Is it possible?"

"Well, you said everyone likes this place, right? I don’t really get it, but isn’t it nice for it to carry on?"

For Duanmu Huai, although he had enough money to buy a LIVEHOUSE, he wasn’t wasteful enough to just discard things after use.

It’s not like a disposable umbrella.

Saying this, Duanmu Huai glanced at his phone.

"It’s about time..."

"Dong!"

Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, Ruoya Mu, who was quietly strumming her guitar beside him, didn’t change her expression. However, her slightly off-key guitar emitted a discordant sound. Hearing this, Duanmu Huai glanced at Ruoya Mu. She remained expressionless, just quietly staring ahead as if nothing had happened.

Ah, I understand this reaction.

When kids hear adults discussing topics they don’t like and don’t know how to stop them, they just sit beside with a stiff face, silently expressing "I’m not happy."

"...Though I’d like to say this, but thinking carefully, how about having a retreat?"

So, Duanmu Huai directly changed the topic. Hearing his proposal, Yahata Miru blinked.

"A retreat?"

"That’s right, consider it part of the band’s activities; staying overnight at the LIVEHOUSE could be pretty fun."

"That does sound interesting."

Yahata Miru thought for a moment, seriously nodding.

"Hey? Are you serious?"

At this time, Fukawa Shoko and Hei Chuan Chi Yin also walked over. Hearing Duanmu Huai’s words, they couldn’t help but pause.

"Of course, don’t you think it’s fun?"

"This... it indeed sounds fun, but is it okay? Just staying out all night on our own..."

"You’re alone at home anyway, aren’t you curious to try what it’s like to spend the night at a LIVEHOUSE?"

"Uh..."

Faced with Duanmu Huai’s enticing banter, Fukawa Shoko’s expression was conflicted. On one hand, as a well-bred lady, she felt staying out all night wasn’t what good kids do.

On the other hand, the thrill of doing what one shouldn’t do tempted Fukawa Shoko, like a student spending the night in an internet cafe for the first time—nervous, thrilling, yet a bit excited.

But is this really okay?

Fukawa Shoko turned her head to Hei Chuan Chi Yin beside her, who smiled slightly.

"There’s nothing wrong with it. During off-campus activities, don’t we also stay overnight? Just think of it as an off-campus trip."

"Is that so?"

Indeed, thinking of it as an off-campus activity, staying overnight elsewhere isn’t unacceptable. But that’s in a hotel; who stays at a LIVEHOUSE?

"So, Shoko? We’re waiting for you!"

Duanmu Huai’s words echoed in Fukawa Shoko’s ears, like a delinquent tempting a noble’s daughter to go astray, filled with demon-like charm. Eventually, Fukawa Shoko nodded involuntarily.

"Alright, as long as it’s not troublesome for others..."

Staying out all night at a LIVEHOUSE instead of going home?

This surely counts as misbehavior.

Even though she thought this, Fukawa Shoko felt a bit excited inside.

However...

"Wait, I didn’t bring a change of clothes?"

"It’s only one night, it won’t kill you."

"Is that the issue?!"

"Alright, enough talk. We’ve already confirmed the stage lights and sound effects, so let’s do it again!"

Duanmu Huai clapped his hands, interrupting Fukawa Shoko’s protest. The others didn’t mind and picked up their instruments to head to the stage. Seeing this, Fukawa Shoko sighed helplessly and quietly followed behind the four of them.

Looks like it’ll be a busy night.

Night deepens.

A petite figure with a suitcase quietly walked down the street. At this time, it’s when being spotted by police would lead to questioning, but the petite figure didn’t care. Like a cat, it roamed the night streets and arrived at SPACE.

"...?"

Seeing the dim lights through the windows of the LIVEHOUSE, the petite figure tilted her head slightly, then silently slipped into the bushes.

Meanwhile, inside the SPACE venue, the last song had just ended.

"Phew... I guess we can wrap up."

Duanmu Huai yawned, looking tired, but Fukawa Shoko was quite excited.

"Let’s do it again! I think we can start with a better melody at that part. Mu, don’t you agree?"

"Yes!"

Ruoya Mu also nodded. Though she didn’t say much, her actions were resolute.
