As a former member of C-group, I want to destroy mygo!

……

P.S.: The male lead's behavior in the previous chapter was an act, just like Soyo tricked Aine. He didn't break down. The important point I wanted to make when I wrote about Lixi's memories was to tell everyone that the male lead is a master of resilience. Even if all his plans fail, he won't explode. He's not a clown.

It's a shame that everyone felt the male protagonist was a broken clown. I didn't give enough hints in this regard, and I apologize. So, I'm adding an extra chapter today. Thank you all for continuing to read.

Regarding Riki's anger towards Natsukawa Masuzu because of the male protagonist, you can refer to the anime where Riki gets angry at Aine because of the light. Riki isn't a powder keg; she just has a bias towards the person she likes. In the end, apart from Shoko, the two people with the highest mutual affection in C-group are Yu and Riki.

As for Natsukawa Masaki, all I can say is that Toyokawa Shoko is both the version's son and its living father. Natsukawa Masaki will eventually have his turn to suffer; he'll laugh first and then cry.

In addition, Xiangbao's first appearance is fast approaching.

Volume 48: Chapter 48. The Evolution of the Soft Girl Akane, Counting Unit: Shobo

"That's no longer necessary."

However, even with Akane Kurokawa acting as the mediator to facilitate reconciliation, Yu Kamiya still hesitated slightly before withdrawing his hand.

It has to be said that he was really lucky.

If he really just wants to form a band, then these two girls are definitely the best candidates, second only to the members of C group.

If he had no ulterior motives, Natsukawa Masuzu wouldn't have confronted him like this, and the current awkward situation wouldn't have occurred. Furthermore, Kurokawa Akane is an even more useful and gentle character than Sose, acting as a lubricant to ensure the band's long-term survival.

However, the problem is that he had to form the band with the premise that he would eventually disband it—or at least leave it.

Motivated by this, he must restrain himself from becoming true friends with the other members of the band. Otherwise, when he needs to leave decisively, he will be caught in a dilemma. Such a predicament must be avoided from the very beginning.

However, his avoidance was so obvious that both of the intelligent girls saw through his aloofness in just a few days by observing subtle clues.

To be honest, Kamiya Yu is a little worried now... Although he has hidden his true motives and goals by putting on a fake performance, can he hide them for a day or a year?

If he were an ordinary high school student, he would be confident that he could keep up the deception indefinitely.

However, Akane Kurokawa and Masuzu Natsukawa are just too clever. They are so clever that since they have already exploded, he is willing to get rid of these two people and find another two more ordinary members.

Even if the other members are too mediocre, no matter how good he is, he can't carry a band by himself. Moreover, the system bonus he gets from the band members being too ordinary is less than that from Xia Chuanzhen and the others, which makes it impossible for him to give Xiangzi a lot of gold coins in the shortest time. However, that is probably better than maintaining this band that is already in crisis.

Although he was a manipulative dog and had no right to condemn others, Natsukawa Masamichi's personality made him feel completely insecure.

Can we really expect this awful girl to keep her promise?

He doesn't really want to gamble.

Unfortunately... if it weren't for the system's requirement of the [band], it would be that the other members of the band actually believed, or truly felt, that they were part of the band.

Even if he had a conscience back then and couldn't make a decision for a long time, he could have long ago spent money to hire a few ordinary people to nominally join the band in order to show off his musical skills.

At this moment, Kamiya Yu sighed and looked at Kurokawa Akane with regret: "I'm sorry for looking for you but not treating you as a friend, but this band no longer has any reason to exist."

"Leave the keyboard here, I'll take you to buy a new one, then we'll be even."

"……I do not want."

However, faced with his declaration of a break, Akane Kurokawa refused to back down and directly refuted it. She usually went along with the crowd as a follower, but now, in order to save the band she didn't dislike, Akane Kurokawa suddenly discovered that she seemed to have a tough side.

"Zhenliang just leaves whenever he wants, and disbands whenever he wants. Don't you think that's too frivolous?"

"I can accept the probationary period—it's like an audition. When you're acting, it's impossible to be cast immediately after you go through the audition. But once it's decided, I'll do my best to act. Unless there's an unexpected accident, the crew won't replace me."

"This is the first time someone has invited me to play in a band, and I don't want it to end so abruptly. Besides, Yu, you didn't actually do anything bad, did you?"

"This time it was Masuzu's fault. So, since Masuzu said that, if she dares to break her promise and quit on her own because she's unhappy, I will publicly tweet on the actor's account to condemn Masuzu's behavior!"

"Would that... make you feel a little more secure, Yu-kun?"

Both Kamiya Yu and Natsukawa Masuzu were surprised to hear Kurokawa Akane's words.

Using an actor's account to post such private matters will definitely result in Akane being punished by her agency, regardless of the fans' reaction. In the worst case, it could even be a violation of a clause in her contract, leading to a substantial financial penalty.

She actually went to such lengths?!

At this moment, Akane Kurokawa, who was being looked at with surprise by Yu Kamiya and Masuzu Natsukawa, was indeed prepared for this price as a professional actress. However, even so, she stubbornly faced the two people's slightly suspicious scrutiny.

She wouldn't normally be this generous to go to such lengths for a band that's only been around for a few days.

However… Kamiya Yu’s last words made Kurokawa Akane ultimately unwilling to give up this rare fate and encounter.

When he presented the electronic keyboard as a gift upon their first meeting, Kamiya Yu was indeed reluctant to part with it. However, even though he was reluctant, he still did it.

And for all the expenses incurred during the two days of borrowing the practice room at the LiveHouse, Kamiya Yuya never asked her or Masuzu for any money back.

However, Yu, who was so generous and willing to invest in them even though they were still under evaluation, is now forcibly taking back the keyboard he gave her, disregarding the awkwardness. He is even willing to spend money to buy a brand new keyboard for her, this fake bandmate who has no value and is about to part ways.

This keyboard must have had some unforgettable history with him.

He gave her this keyboard... Although he said it was a trial period, deep down, Yu was probably hoping that she could truly become his reliable teammate.

She doesn't dislike having friends who have such high expectations of her, and she doesn't want to let down their trust and dedication.

She hopes the band can continue!

"Trust Zhenliang this once, and I'll vouch for him, okay?"

Akane persisted, grabbing Yu and Masuzu's hands again and stubbornly overlapping theirs. Although a hint of tension and fear about being rejected again emanated from her eyes, making her seem much stronger and tougher than she appeared, she was still determined to mend the band.

Before this, the girl who was casually grabbed by him seemed insignificant and ordinary compared to the members of C-group, Chihaya Aine, and Natsukawa Masuzu. But at this moment, Kamiya Yu suddenly discovered that this girl actually possessed a dazzling charm, about one percent of Shoko's.

Perhaps he really underestimated Akane Kurokawa in the past.

Volume 1: Chapter 49 49. We ended the band, but things are really thriving!

Practice room.

Looking at his hand being pulled away by Akane again, Kamiya Yu remained silent for a moment, but this time he did not pull it back as decisively as before. Instead, he looked at Natsukawa Masuzu with a deep gaze.

"What are you looking at me for? Don't expect me to kneel down and beg you not to leave."

Natsukawa Masuzu simply snorted. Although she knew she had gone too far this time, she still wouldn't apologize. Instead, she said in a roundabout way, "If I were so bad that I would disregard someone's future, I should have sold my bass that night and used the money to buy a JOJO collector's edition."

Kamiya chuckled, but his attitude towards Natsukawa Masashi was not as kind as his attitude towards Akane: "Then I should thank you for going easy on me?"

"If you insist on thanking me, that's fine too. I don't mind at all."

At first, she subconsciously started to tease him, but soon, Natsukawa Masuzu suppressed her mischievous side. She felt the warmth from Kamiya Yu and Kurokawa Akane's hands overlapping hers, and a slight smile appeared on her lips. However, she immediately stopped herself and withdrew her hands as if she didn't care.

"So childish, like an elementary school student..." she muttered, but driven by this pleasant mood, she said something irreversible to Kamiya Yu: "Let's schedule tomorrow's practice at Ring."

"What do you mean?" Kamiya Yu frowned slightly. Was she still incorrigible and going to embarrass Ritsuki?

Seeing Kamiya Yu's dislike, Natsukawa Masuzu felt somewhat helpless. She hadn't intended to say anything, but now it seemed that if she didn't make things clear, given her reputation with Kamiya Yu, she would only be seen as looking for trouble.

I want to give her a gift.

However, no matter what, Natsukawa Masuzu couldn't bring herself to say the words "apology." In the end, she could only look around and say, slightly embarrassed and angry, "Anyway, it won't be detrimental to her. If you're worried, you can just keep an eye on her from the side!"

"Is that so? Then let's leave it at that." Kamiya Yuya made no attempt to hide his attitude, treating the beautiful silver-haired girl in front of him as if she were half an enemy.

If it weren't for Kurokawa Akane's unwavering stance, Jiu would have already gone out to find a new tool for him.

The current state of Si and his companion's communication is mixed with distrust and awkwardness, making them even more distant than when they first met.

However, despite the extremely strained relationship, Akane Kurokawa finally breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, at least there was still room for the relationship to remain strained. This band, which had met for the first time, had managed to stick together in a somewhat reluctant manner.

4. But seeing this situation, Akane hoped things would improve, so she changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, we have a bassist, a keyboardist, and a guitarist, but we're still missing a drummer and a lead singer, right?"

3. “Not only that,” Natsukawa Masaki also said, “Even if you can rely entirely on covering famous songs at the beginning, you will eventually need to create your own songs, and you will need to write lyrics and compose music.”

(v) This is obvious; anyone can see it.

After all, even laymen know that a band needs at least four members.

The reason why no one had mentioned this matter before was because both Akane and Masuzu could sense the stranger-like nature of Kamiya Yu.

The fact that they can talk about this now means they've really started to integrate into the band.

In response to their questions, Kamiya Yu remained calm and simply pointed to himself with one finger.

"What we lack is not a drummer, but a guitarist. I've already found a target, and once she joins the band, I'll play drums. As for original songs, don't worry about that, I'll handle that."

Upon hearing this, Natsukawa Masuzu immediately cast a skeptical glance at her. She wanted to ask, "Is it really that amazing?", but she stopped herself.

Just like before at the entrance of the LiveHouse, she could have said something like she wanted to seduce Kamiya Yu and make him her devoted follower to bully and mock Shiina Tatsuki, but in the end she held back.

After all, her personality wasn't entirely evil; she wasn't all black-hearted.

Finally, the beautiful girl, who seemed to have reflected on her actions compared to before, was unwilling to reveal this change in herself. She simply asked casually, "Looking for someone? Not just grabbing them? Could it be that they don't like you?"

Kamiya Yu glanced at her, seemingly unsure whether to continue the conversation or just mutter to himself, "It's a girl from our school named Yukino Yukinoshita. I told her I'd make her interested within a week."

Akane: "What do we need to do?"

“The band issue should be resolved with music,” Kamiya Yu said bluntly. “We have four more days. We’ll use our performance to rekindle her interest in the band. If we can’t… then I’m sorry, Akane, this band should probably just disband.”

He was willing to accept the step offered by Akane, not because he was moved by the girl.

It was because he realized that if the partnership broke up, his loss wouldn't be two people, but three.

After all, there was no way he could find two other people within four days who could help him win over Yukino Yukinoshita; the time was too tight.

Unless he asks Lixi and the others for help... then it would be pointless.

Upon hearing such an urgent deadline, Akane immediately became a little worried. She knew her own abilities were really just average, and this time it all depended on Yuu and Masuzu's performance: "I will try my best not to hold you back!"

"So what?" Natsukawa Masuzu spread his hands, looking completely defeated. "This is the first time this lousy band has performed publicly, even though there's only one audience member... but they can't be completely nameless, can they?"

“If you can accept that,” Kamiya paused, “then let’s call it the End Band.”

Upon hearing the name, Natsukawa Masuzu, who knew that this guy was unhappy about his old friend leaving him to form a new band, immediately understood what it meant: "The band that ended Chihaya Aine's band?"

But what she didn't grasp was the true meaning of the name Kamiya Yuuki... This band was one that was destined to end sooner or later.

Compared to Shinryu, Akane took a much bigger step, leaping into an area that even Kamiya Yu had never expected. In Japanese, the word for "ending band" is basically a homophone for "bond band," and bond symbolizes unity and permanence.

Akane's eyes lit up:

"So... Yu-kun actually still has high expectations for this band, but he's just too embarrassed to say it?"

Their future is truly bright!

Volume 50: Chapter 50. Xiangzi's whereabouts, Mu's betrayal

As the sun set, in an area of ​​the Moon Forest where cucumbers were planted, Wakaba Mutsu, as always, came here after school to water one of the few things she truly loved.

Beside her was Nagasaki Motoyo, who seemed very proud and excited as she shared her progress with her.

"Listen to me, Mutsu-chan, everything's going very smoothly!"

"If it weren't for that jerk who deliberately interfered and ruined my plans, you would have been back by now, Mutsu-chan. But don't worry, it's okay if you failed once. When it comes to intelligence, Yu is no match for me!"
