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

At that moment, Kamiya Yuya could only remain silent for a moment before forcing himself to suppress his complicated emotions and smiling as he said, "...Is that so? Well, from now on, our band is finally all together, and we can finally make something of ourselves."

Akane exclaimed in surprise: "A great undertaking?"

"Yes, after all, if you want a band to last, it's hard to maintain if it's just playing around and being amateur. It will eventually break up due to various real-world factors."

At this point, Kamiya Yu put on a "for your own good, for the band's good" expression and coaxed:

"If we really want to make it a lifelong commitment, even if we don't become a professional band, we at least need to be able to earn some money so that we have a guarantee. Of course, I know your families are relatively wealthy, but I'm not doing this from a profit-driven perspective, so I won't be putting you through high-intensity professional training so quickly. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, for some reason, the three girls' fair faces all seemed to have thought of something, and they all looked away from him with a little embarrassment.

The next second, without any resistance, everyone nodded and nodded slightly, agreeing with his suggestion to make money for the band.

This truly surprised him subtly; he had originally thought that perhaps only Akane would agree.

However, his earlier mistake made him shut up immediately this time, without asking why they all agreed so readily.

That's good. If he were to ask something awkward like "a band for life," it would put him in a difficult position.

However, as the nominal leader who cared about the band, he couldn't just stay silent... Just then, Kamiya Yu noticed that his phone was vibrating slightly, which was something that would occasionally happen when a message came from a friend he had set as a LINE follower.

And the people he set as his top focus were only a few.

Immediately, Kamiya Yu put aside the matters of the "Tool Man" band and took out his phone to check. He found that Riki had accumulated quite a few messages to him since last night:

[It seems like the lamp can't write lyrics anymore, what should we do, Yu?]

[Helpful lamp, Yu...]

[Was it because of Xiangzi's past actions that the lamp was haunted? — No, it's nothing.]

Should I bring a light to the aquarium? Will it help if she sees her favorite penguins with a light?

No, Deng doesn't seem to want to go; she looks a bit down.

I know Yu has her own new band to manage right now, but... if you don't come to help, I don't know what to do. Akari doesn't want to rely on me, and I can't help it...

【Yu...】

Kamiya Yu gripped his phone tightly.

If it weren't for Natsukawa Masami giving him alcohol, he wouldn't have been able to go to bed so early last night and miss so many messages from Riki. He wondered how anxious she would be now, and whether she would misunderstand that he wasn't as close to them as before.

The next second, Kamiya Yu frowned and gave Natsukawa Masaki a cold look, then quickened his pace and rushed to the school, heading towards Riki's classroom.

Volume 1: Chapter 62, Section 61. Ai Yin: How did Su Shi and I become clowns?

Shortly after 3:30 p.m., Takamatsu Akari, looking very uneasy, and Chihaya Aine, who was keeping her company, were already sitting in the Ring.

"It's all my fault. I could have written it before, but I disappointed Lixi. And, You..."

With her head drooping like a listless little penguin, Deng's hands were obediently placed on her thighs. She looked a little guilty with her head down, but every now and then she would secretly raise her head and quietly look at the Ring's door.

"Don't worry so much, Tomorin. It's okay if you can't write it right away, right? We don't necessarily have to go on stage and perform right away. Hey, how about you relax a bit? Look, this is a new penguin band-aid I bought!"

At this moment, Aine was in a state of mixed joy and heartache.

Although Li Xi has already exposed her as a novice, she is still vain after all. If she can go live a little later, she can have more time to practice, and maybe when she finally goes on stage, she can make a name for herself.

However, although she was happy to see the band's live performance time postponed, she didn't want it to come at the cost of Deng's injured appearance.

"However, Riki has exhausted all his options."

Both Su Shi and Li Xi tried to comfort Deng, but to no avail. In the band's group chat, Li Xi directly told Deng that she had notified Kamiya Yu and that he would be coming soon.

"I have a feeling that Riki has a lot of confidence in that guy... Could it be that he's actually the real mother, and Momo is just a fake? No way? I can't tell at all!"

Although her opinion of Kamiya Yu has changed somewhat, Aine has never forgotten how aggressive he was towards her when they first met.

However, faced with Aine's doubts and attempts to comfort her, Akari, who usually cherishes Aine, completely ignored the penguin band-aid that was handed to her. She suddenly looked up and stared blankly at the group of people who had come here.

"So, why did you bring someone else along when it came to Deng-chan's matter!"

"Huh? Show some respect to me. These are my current band members, after all. Besides, it wasn't me who suggested it. It was them—everyone was concerned about Deng and wanted to see if they could help comfort her."

"That's easy for you to say. The combined effect of these three people might not even be half that of Riki-chan. With you here, what's the point of having outsiders?"

"You haven't driven that evil pink-haired guy away yet, what right do you have to talk to me? If you keep arguing, I'll get Lixi and Deng to vote and kick you out of your new band."

"Go ahead and vote! Ai-chan is definitely on my side. It's a tie, two to two. If you're so capable, try to get the stray cats to your side too."

"When did you become so shameless... Ah, the lamp, it looks quite energetic!"

It seems they met halfway there. Yu and Su Shi arrived at Ring with grumpy faces and bickering. Beside them was Li Xi, whose face was slightly haggard from worrying for three whole days, but now it was slightly rosy from inner peace.

And watching the two argue, Natsukawa Masuzu and Kurokawa Akane hesitate to speak, as well as another completely unfamiliar girl with long, straight black hair.

So many people came, but in the pupils of the lamp's eyes, only one figure was reflected.

"Hey, where's the energy in Tomorin? Is this some kind of... fake?!"

Aine was stunned.

Her gaze was initially drawn to the new girl with long, straight black hair. When she saw the girl's chest, which was flatter than that of an elementary school student, her eyes lit up. She had been spending a lot of time with Deng and the others lately, and compared to them, her chest, which was at the level of a middle school student, was really pitiful and insignificant.

But now it seems she's actually quite capable!

However, at the same time her confidence returned, she heard Kamiya Yuna's blatant lies and was speechless, wanting to refute her, but before she could even stand on the other side, she was immediately slapped in the face and left speechless.

Despite all the effort she had put into comforting Deng, at this moment, just as Kamiya Yu had said, her eyes shone brightly, and her previously droopy face now showed a faint smile.

“...swelling′§ZHUanQuN: dove & silk 8 like two ★№9'0≯⒌”

I always feel like a clown.

Chihaya Aine's lips twitched in annoyance, and she bared a fang at the culprit, Kamiya Yu, which she considered to be lethal and intimidating.

Kamiya Yuuka didn't tolerate anyone outside of C-Group, and was about to give them the same fierce look when she saw the penguin band-aid on the table, which was clearly handed to Tama by Chihaya Aine.

He paused in his actions, ignoring Ai Yin, and pulled up a chair to sit next to the lamp.

"I haven't seen you much in Ring these past few days. Lixi said you were thinking about lyrics. So, after all these days, you can't even come up with a single lyric?"

Isn't this too direct?

Aine blinked in surprise. Lamp is such a delicate and sensitive child!

However, what she feared did not happen. In response to Kamiya Yu's direct question, Takamatsu Akari lowered her head and poured out her heart: "I... feel very confused. I don't know what to write, what kind of lyrics are right... I'm sorry, Yu."

"Don't come here."

Seeing the lamp involuntarily lower its head again, Kamiya Yu simply picked up Chihaya Aine's penguin band-aid and mischievously placed it on the lamp's head, saying nonchalantly:

"I told you before, right? Since we're friends, there will always be times when we bother each other. To be honest, the trouble you caused us at the very beginning of Crychic was definitely more troublesome than it is now... So, how about we go to the aquarium or the planetarium?"

Exhaustive search method.

Kamiya Yu had to admit that he didn't understand Akari as well as he did Xiangzi and Riki. So, how to comfort Akari now, even though he pretended to be confident, was really just to take care of Akari and Riki's feelings.

However, he couldn't guarantee what the best course of action would be.

Therefore, he gave the power of choice to the lamp.

However, unexpectedly, after clenching her little fist and encouraging herself, the first thing Akari whispered was not the place that Kamiya Yu thought she liked to go to most:

"Can we... go to the amusement park, Yu?"

Upon hearing these words, Kamiya Yu was stunned.

Seeing him like this, she thought he wasn't good at this. Ai Yin thought it was finally her time to shine. After all, as a super popular person, she had been to quite a few amusement parks!

"Hey, I know a great amusement park that's so crowded it's almost unbearable!"

Aine, hands on her hips, was incredibly proud.

However, before she could even proudly declare her achievement, Lixi, who had calmed down, crossed her arms and objected, saying, "No need. The amusement park that Deng mentioned... there's only one fixed one."

Seeing the lantern's request, Su Shi, who had only been pretending to be very concerned, suddenly softened her aura: "I see? Lantern-chan, you still remember."

It's impossible to say she had no complaints about the lamp.

After all, wasn't it Deng-chan who was the first among all the members of C-group to defect to the enemy? Although she really couldn't say anything, there was still a little bit of resentment in her heart.

Now, seeing Deng struggling to write lyrics, the first thing that comes to mind is the amusement park where Crychic went for their first team building activity... Su Shi finally let go of the resentment in her heart.

Thinking this through, Su Shi offered a suggestion: "In that case, why don't we invite Mutsu-chan along?"

“It’s impossible.” Kamiya Yu shook his head. “She’s busy today.”

“But…” Su Shi was still unwilling to give up.

As the only member of the entire C group whose situation is unknown except for Xiangzi, she considered herself to be the person who interacted with Mutsu-chan the most after the band disbanded. Naturally, she also knew about the various studies that Mutsu-chan's parents placed on her, and today happened to be a particularly heavy period.

However, such an opportunity is rare.

If we could call Mutsumi over too, maybe seeing everyone here, and being back in that place full of memories, would actually make Mutsumi call Saki over after all this time...

Seeing that Su Shi, who was still stubbornly clinging to his old ways despite not knowing what he was thinking, Kamiya Yu's tone immediately turned slightly somber: "You know Mutsu's situation very well, Su Shi, don't force him to do things against his will!"

If it were anyone else, it wouldn't matter, but if Mu breaks the rules, her parents are far less accommodating than Li Xi and Deng's parents. In the end, they might even add extra homework, and Mu will be the one who suffers.

He would absolutely not allow Su Shi to call Mu over.

"Huh?" Aine was truly stunned by what she saw.

Su Shi and Kamiya Yu had always been bickering whenever they met, and she thought that Su Shi would never bow down to Kamiya Yu no matter what.

Now that Kamiya Yu is suddenly being so assertive, she's genuinely worried that it might escalate into a real argument with Suze. She's even prepared to stir things up and ease the tension between the two of them.

However, unexpectedly, in the 8th second after Kamiya Yu's forceful approach, Su Shi, who seemed to still be very unwilling, suddenly fell silent, as if she had been tamed. Although she turned her face away with an unhappy expression, she really didn't refute him at all, completely acknowledging Kamiya Yu's leadership.

It was only at this moment that Aine realized that perhaps her understanding of Kamiya Yu and Akari was really quite shallow.

Seeing the outcome of the battle between Su Shi and You, Li Xi showed no surprise whatsoever. The moment the disagreement ended, she couldn't wait any longer:

"Can we leave now, Akari, Yu?"

Volume 1: Chapter 63, Section 62. Su Shi, stop holding him, Xiang Bao is getting hot.

"—So why are there so many irrelevant people involved!"

unlucky!

Outside the amusement park, Nagasaki Motoyo had been grumbling all the way from Ring, full of dissatisfaction. Her gaze swept over Kurokawa Akane and the other two, finding them extremely annoying.

To be honest, this time Kamiya Yu is on Suze's side.

Why did this "tool guy" have to come and join in the fun when their old friends from Group C were having a team-building event? Can't a person even have a proper chance to reminisce?
