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

Hmm, like later I'll treat everyone, including the least familiar Natsukawa Masuzu and Yukino Yukinoshita, to the most expensive drinks, but only buy him the cheapest, and the worst-tasting drink among the cheapest ones... or something like that?

But now that she's been comforted so gently, what else can she do?

All plans have been disrupted!

Kamiya Yu is such a despicable villain!

"Humph!"

Ignoring her own cheerful mood, Aine felt that she must be acting out of a sense of justice to punish the evil demon king. She snorted and glared fiercely at Kamiya Yu. In front of him, she deliberately rubbed the Panda doll, which looked like Kamiya Yu incarnate, with great force.

"?"

For no apparent reason, the naturally wicked pink-haired girl gave him a coquettish hum. Kamiya Yu couldn't understand why she was acting cute towards him. No matter how cute she acted, she couldn't possibly get a second gift from him. Dream on.

However, upon closer inspection, Chihaya Aine is actually quite cute, and she's twice as cute when she acts coquettish—making him involuntarily think of Shoko, who is a hundred times cuter.

However, Xiangzi is not here right now, and the most important thing at the moment is not to remember Xiangbao, but to solve the problem of the lamp.

Thinking this, Kamiya Yu turned to look at the quiet lamp.

After enjoying the fun of three consecutive rides, although she mostly just watched from the sidelines, Chihaya Aine and the others' cheerful atmosphere seemed to have finally infected Akari. Holding her penguin plushie, she was now unconsciously grinning slightly.

"Light," seeing that the time was ripe, Kamiya Yu finally extended an invitation, "Would you like to come ride the Ferris wheel with me?"

The lamp stood frozen in place for two seconds, like a wooden sculpture, then without answering, it took small, hesitant steps to his side and stood beside him without any gap.

The penguin that was originally held in both hands is now being held with only one hand. The free hand is being tightly gripped by the lamp on Kamiya Yu's clothes. Then, the lamp takes the initiative to lead the unresisting Yu away from the game area and towards the Ferris wheel.

Seeing this, Ritsuki, who had initially felt a mix of resentment, disappointment, and dejection—like Yukino Yukinoshita—when she saw Yu give the panda to an unrelated person and clearly didn't like Panda much, immediately forgot about glaring at the wicked Aine who showed no consideration for her teammates and instead felt a sense of relief. Nine

She and Su Shi exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting the same emotion.

Since Xiangzi, who used to take care of everything, was no longer around, the only one left who could manage everyone, solve problems, and provide them with a strong sense of security was You.

However… although I don’t know what Su Shi thinks, at least in Li Xi’s opinion, Yu is actually much better than that despicable Toyokawa Shoko. (8)

It wasn't that Yuu was inferior to that damned Toyokawa Shoko, but rather that he humbly always gave Shoko the chance to shine! (Part 4)

But even though Yu liked and loved him so much, he still did that kind of thing... Part Two

"When will you finally give up on that guy, Yuu..." Jiu

A lonely, murmuring sigh, filled with resentment and jealousy, escaped her lips. Lixi gently patted her cheeks and exhaled.

Although she wasn't very good at this kind of thing. (5)

But... since Yu only said she wanted to crush their band, but in reality, their actions clearly showed that they hoped the two sides could get along peacefully. Otherwise, there would be no way she would deliberately give the doll to Chihaya Aine. So, while Yu is giving Akari psychological counseling, she can step forward and help lead the remaining members of both bands.

If everyone does their own thing, even if there's no initial awkwardness, things will still seem somewhat distant and cold.

That's probably not what You wanted to see.

"I--"

However, before Lixi, who felt very uncomfortable, could even say anything, she was surprised to hear a very natural, sunny, and cheerful voice, as if the sun were shining on her, playfully laughing:

"Hey everyone, that project over there looks really interesting, let's go check it out, okay? It looks super fun!"

It doesn't seem like acting at all.

However, even if there had been such a leadership opportunity before, Chihaya Aine would never have stepped forward. Her previous visits to the gaming section were merely to satisfy her vanity and deliberately put others down.

But this time, she smiled sweetly and gently not only at Su Shi and Riki, but also at Yukino Yukinoshita, a cold-faced woman she didn't know well.

The slightly awkward atmosphere that had arisen because of Kamiya Yu's departure was instantly relieved and cleared up.

Riki stared in astonishment at the dazzling Chihaya Aine.

So much so that she couldn't look away and see Kurokawa Akane, who, just like her, had been quietly clenching her little fists to encourage herself after Kamiya Yu left, and was about to stand up and say something to make the two bands get along as Yu wished.

……

There should be no problem?

Holding onto the lamp by the collar, the two of them walked step by step to the Ferris wheel and began to ponder.

Now, Riki and Yukino Yukinoshita are clearly at odds because of their shared interests, Suze dislikes Masuzu Natsukawa, and although Akane and Chihaya Aine are both exceptionally cheerful, gentle, and outgoing, they probably have some grudges now because Akane offended the evil pink-haired girl on the dance machine.

In this situation, he left without saying a word, taking the lamp with him, leaving these hostile girls there. They must have felt very awkward looking at each other.

In that case, the resentment will only grow and become more pronounced, making it even more impossible for them to get along.

In this way, when he wants to defeat the evil pink-haired girl in the future, Akane won't be unable to do it.

When he achieved his goal of giving Xiangzi popcorn, revived Crychic, and left the Tool Man band, Li Xi and Su Shi, having no connection with Akane and the others, would not become an obstacle to his departure and would not help Akane and the others stop him.

Simply perfect.

After reviewing the current situation, Kamiya Yu couldn't help but feel happy and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Although I feel bad for Riki and Akane, I can only make other compensations after everything has settled down.

Seeing Yu's smile, Deng remained silent for a moment before cautiously raising her head and staring intently at him with her amber eyes, which seemed to be filled with unspoken thoughts. With a slightly bittersweet expression, she asked, "Yu, are you having a lot of fun with your new band?"

"Well," Kamiya Yu thought for a moment, then became ambiguous, "it's alright."

If he were to tell the truth, the real reason he formed the Tool Man band, and then ask Lamp to keep it a secret, he believed Lamp would keep it a secret, but he didn't trust Lamp's naturalness.

If Deng knew his true plan, he might be seen through and guessed by his daily words and actions, and then everything would be over.

Seeing that Yu was unwilling to open up to him and was clearly hiding his feelings, Tohru suddenly became even more taciturn, just like Mutsu.

Once both of them were inside the Ferris wheel, the enormous Ferris wheel began to slowly turn.

In the enclosed space where there were only two of them, Kamiya Yu, who was sitting face to face with Akari, did not go straight to the point. Instead, he played the emotional card: "It's been a long time since we've gone out together like this. Are you having fun today, Akari?"

“I’m very happy to come out and play with You.” Deng nodded slightly.

“Really? Then I’m very happy too.” Kamiya Yu smiled, then fell silent.

He was considering it, he was hesitant, and he didn't know whether he should ask or not.

But... after hesitating for a moment, Kamiya Yu finally cleared his throat and asked a question that he couldn't possibly ignore, a question that, if left unasked, would only make him harbor resentment towards Akari:

"Light...can you tell me why you formed a band with Chihaya Aine?"

Volume 1: Chapter 69, Section 68. Memories of the Lamp - Serious Emotional Intelligence, Defeat the Evil Li Xi

"Can't!"

"It doesn't matter to you, right?"

"I apologize for knocking you down, but you can't die! Yu has already shown me how important it is to be alive, so you can't try to kill yourself!"

It all started with that misunderstanding and chance encounter on the overpass.

Saki, who thought she was going to commit suicide, was taken home by her and saw the lyrics, her excitement, the impromptu performance that remains unforgettable, and the invitation after the whispered words:

"These lyrics are amazing, so wonderful, so touching! If there were lyrics like these... would Yu want to be in a band? I really hope he's not doing this for me, um, I wish he could agree without forcing himself..."

"Ah, sorry, I've been a bit presumptuous. Well, Mr. Deng, I actually have an idea."

"Would you like to form a band with me?"

band.

Something that knows nothing, understands nothing, and is unclear about nothing.

　948◎。243305 Search QQ group-(: However, lingering over Xiangzi's impromptu performance, I began to develop a luxurious curiosity about everything related to it.

Following them are the somewhat frightening Li Xi and He Mu, as well as Su Shi, who is as formidable as Xiang Zi.

And then, she was the lead singer…

But I couldn't sing anything.

Mingming was captivated by Xiangzi's impromptu singing, and Deng himself vaguely sensed that perhaps he also wanted to sing out all the words in his notebook with his own thoughts, just like Xiangzi.

I've never hated singing.

But... he couldn't even open his mouth, and he couldn't sing anything.

Can you sing as well as Xiangzi?

Will this satisfy Lixi and Sushi?

Am I really suited for a band, for singing, and for becoming human?

That doubt and tension lasted until that day, when Saki pulled a boy into the practice room.

Saki-chan personally confirmed that, like her, they were all incompetent and were invited to the band, but they didn't receive recognition from Riki-chan and were treated very badly by Kamiya Yu.

But he's really amazing. Even though Riki is so scary, shouting even louder and more intensely than when he was with her, Yu wasn't afraid at all. He's just like Saki, able to do things that she could never do.

Then, Yu came to her side.

"Takamatsu Akari... um, may I call you by your name?" Yu sat down next to her, smiling and speaking softly.

From childhood, all the people close to her besides her father were girls; she had never been around a boy. Although she was quite naive, she was aware of the differences between genders. This was the first time a boy had been so close to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, almost shrinking into a ball and hugging her legs, whimpering, "Mmm, mmm..."

Gao Songdeng stared wide-eyed, like a lamb being chased by wolves pleading for its mother's help, frequently glancing at Xiangzi, unsure of what to do.

However, although Xiangzi saw her plea for help, he still held back and focused on chatting with Su Shi, deliberately avoiding coming this way. He even led Su Shi a little further away.

Seeing Takamatsu's helpless cowering, Kamiya Yu wasn't hurt by the rejection. He thought for a moment, sighed, and lowered his voice: "Actually, I came here to stick together... Don't you think Riki is fierce?"

"Uh?"

Yu, you don't seem scared at all, so why are you saying that?

Facing the bewildered look in the lamp's eyes, Kamiya Yu continued in a low voice, "I heard from Shoko that you're a complete novice with no foundation whatsoever? Me too, so in this band, the two of us are being bullied!"

Gao Songdeng was even more confused: "Bullying?"

“Yeah,” Kamiya Yu said, glancing at Riki, Su Shi, and Xiangzi as if they were exchanging secrets. “We’re natural allies, even closer than Xiangbao… I mean Xiangzi. Look, you’re bullied by Riki, and I’m bullied by Riki too. In short, we’re both on the opposite side of Riki.”

"To be honest, I really felt relieved to see you here, Light."

"I was wondering if I, someone who can't play any instruments, would be able to fit into such a high-end band. But now I know that at least I can still be your friend because we are the same kind of people, Deng."

“Stand on my side. If I had a lamp as my friend, I would dare to stay in this band and I wouldn’t be afraid of that scary Li Xi.”

Kamiya Yu's eyes were bright, as if he were very sincere, and he reached out his hand to Takamatsu Akari.

He spoke with great anticipation, sincerity, and a willingness to be close to me: "Lend me your courage, please, lamp?"

However, Kamiya Yu himself did not realize it.
