But Yukino couldn't help but get angry, and her eyes became even sharper and colder.

If it were a direct confrontation between a normal 2nd-level Souyo and a 9th-level character, Yuki would win. si∽♀③&◇⒌ˉ.⑥〗si—…

However, at this moment, Su Shi, who had already risked almost everything, was in a delicate state of semi-self-abandonment. Before the war started, she had already anticipated the kind of pressure she would face, so she was not afraid of anything now.

At this moment, Su Shi was just like the cold and firm Xiangzi was on the day he left the team, unshakable, as if Xiangzi had been reincarnated and was fifty times stronger than she had ever been!

Yukino is out of the question.

"Sigh." Natsukawa Masaki suddenly let out a long sigh, began to unzip her bass bag, took out the bass that had been imbued with her faint fragrance, and gently stroked it with a sad expression.

Yukino's eyes flickered. Although neither side had coordinated beforehand, at this tense moment, Natsukawa Masuzu's unusual actions were undoubtedly to help her.

Therefore, Yukino was quite perceptive and asked with a puzzled look, "What's wrong, Masuzu-kun?"

"I'm wondering, should I sink this bass in a lake or use it to fill in the sea?"

Natsukawa Masuzu wore a sorrowful expression. Her beautiful, flawless face, so exquisite it was almost dreamlike, had her eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if she had already accepted that her band was destined to disband.

"Yu gave me this bass. It's the first time in my life that someone has given me a gift, and such an expensive one at that. If... it has to be taken back, I'd rather buy it back and let go in my own way. It'll be a lifelong memento, etched in my heart."

"So I'm thinking... I wonder how many times more I would have to pay to get permission to do this."

Su Shi's eyes began to twitch.

That's her bass—the same model as hers!!

This was something she had known for a long time.

Back when she was at Crychic, Yu had expressed her intention to buy all of their instruments for her precious collection.

However, it was never completed.

Before he even bought them, Saki had already used her own allowance to buy them all for him. Even though she is the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family, if she buys several musical instruments at once, Saki will have no money left for at least a month or two, and she won't be able to get anything she wants.

But Saki-chan did it without even thinking about it.

Skai-chan loves Yu so much.

But now he's behind Saki's back, forming a band with another girl, and there's even a hint of him crossing the line with Akane Kurokawa.

Never allowed.

...But, even though I only want to focus on Crychic and Saki-chan.

Su Shi, however, found herself unable to control herself and her gaze shifted to the bass that Natsukawa Masaki was stroking.

Anger was gradually boiling and churning in my chest.

That was her bass, the same bass that belonged to her, the bass that Yu used to express his feelings for her!

It should be a bass that belongs only to her and Yu, just the two of them.

That's how it should have been, but Yu gave it to Natsukawa Masuzu without any hesitation... That's why she saw this bass on the first day they met, and she dismissed all her doubts, not thinking that Yu had formed a fake band just to spite her.

That bass guitar was supposed to be reserved for Yu's signature style—of course, she didn't actually allow it, but said that if there had to be a specific aura, then this guy would be much better than Natsukawa Masaki.

However, nothing ever went as she wished.

Right now, all she wants is to revive Crychic and bring Yu back. Can't she even do that?

Su Shi's chest heaved violently. Her defenses had been breached by Xia Chuan Zhenliang. She clenched her delicate fists tightly, forcing herself with all her might not want to respond.

She knew that Natsukawa Masaki was deliberately trying to provoke her.

But... I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it.

Unlike Yukino Yukinoshita's sarcastic remarks, this time, Masuzu Natsukawa really hit a nerve.

"Who gave you permission to touch that bass, to think you could dispose of it as you please, to sink it in a lake or the sea?!"

With a hoarse, earth-shattering scream, Su Shi gasped for breath. In just a few words, her will, which had been focused on suppressing You, began to crumble and disintegrate.

Nagasaki Motoyo's sudden outburst was completely contrary to her meticulous thinking that had been proceeding step by step since then, and in an instant, it shattered the space that she had almost sealed off.

Natsukawa Masuzu smiled broadly, no longer pretending, with a smug and disdainful expression, as she looked at the defenseless Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Don't get so worked up. It's not like I'm bullying some helpless widow whose husband was stolen away. That's really sinful. You're the one stealing people from our side, aren't you?"

Every sentence he uttered was a critical hit.

Every word Xia Chuanzhen uttered was like a knife, piercing Su Shi's body completely, making her sway and her face change drastically.

"Let's stop here."

Kamiya Yu stepped forward and stood in front of Natsukawa Masuzu, blocking Suze from seeing this despicable girl and the bass guitar filled with hatred.

He didn't stand up when Su Shi deliberately ignored and angered Yukino and the other two.

He stepped forward when Natsukawa Masaki retaliated.

Even though he was somewhat hurt by Sose's excessive and willful demands, Kamiya Yu still protected her intentionally or unintentionally.

But the bottom line cannot be shaken.

“If you insist on saying it,” Kamiya Yu stared straight at Su Shi and said, enunciating each word clearly and leaving no room for argument, “then consider me someone who likes to break contracts and doesn’t follow the rules of the game.”

There were just too many unexpected events.

If he had known this would happen, he wouldn't have come to play Truth or Dare.

Even though Su Shi had already given up on C Group and gone to play Mygo with Li Xi and the others, she still insisted on dragging him into it, which was something he never expected.

The band cannot end until they have earned enough money to pay off Xiangzi's debts.

Even if Yue!↓Feiqun: ⑻※↓Wu●“qi×〕熝liu∝Shan4~≥缌侕is to be an enemy of an old friend.

However, seeing Su Shi's downcast eyes and distressed expression after being rejected by Xia Chuanzhen after his defenses were breached, Su Shi looked at him with a pained expression.

Kamiya Yu finally couldn't help but soften, opened his mouth, and said, "...How about we change the terms?"

Although he could simply default on his debt and leave in a fit of anger, he simply couldn't do that.

He has done all he could and tried his best.

The next second, Su Shi felt three hands tugging at her skirt; they were Li Xi, Deng, and Aine.

Everyone showed some concern, but at the same time, they all shook their heads slightly, implying that she should stop while she was ahead.

Even the lights showed how much Yu was protecting the band from ending.

Just like on the day they disbanded, they tried their best to keep Xiangzi and preserve Crychic.

Even if it's just for the sense of déjà vu, Akari would definitely side with Yu. She had experienced the pain of disbanding once and didn't want to be the one to cause others to suffer that pain as well.

Looking at those three pairs of pessimistic eyes.

Su Shi remained silent for a moment.

Now that things have come to this, she has finally realized that Yuna, like her, has an attitude of not giving up.

Forcing it won't do any good.

In that case... should we change it to let Yu take back Natsukawa Masuzu's bass?

This is her most cherished wish at this moment.

But after being tempted, Su Shi obediently gave up.

The band conflict had just ended. If such a condition were to be proposed now, and Yu were to back down, it would be no different from disbanding. She would never agree to it. She might as well avoid humiliating herself and come up with something more effective.

But be careful not to let it be obvious that it's meant to destroy and end the band.

After spending several minutes calming herself and regaining her composure, Su Shi suddenly fixed her gaze on Yukino Yukinoshita, and then, to everyone's surprise, said:

"Let's sleep in the same bedroom tonight, Yu Kamiya!"

Volume 1: Chapter 89, Section 88: Bedroom Team Building, The Birth of the Weak and Simple World

Break the defense.

But we still need to persevere in bringing back Crychic and reviving it.

This is the only goal that will not change.

Su Shi's stance was clear: although she really wanted to see Xia Chuan Zhenliang betrayed by her own people and look like she had completely lost her guard, she couldn't waste such a rare opportunity on something pointless.

Based on current information, Yu and Akane Kurokawa are the closest members of the band.

Yukino Yukinoshita joined the team the slowest, and her behavior at the amusement park seemed to be the most out of place with the others. So it's quite obvious that Yu and Yukinoshita have the most unfamiliar relationship.

Yu wouldn't be so quick to touch a strange woman just because they shared a room and slept together. After all, although she specified a roommate, she didn't specify a bedmate.

This seemingly flaw was intentional on Su Shi's part, since she didn't really want You to sleep with that vixen outside.

This is nothing more than a blatant attempt to sow discord.

Regardless of whether Akane Kurokawa has feelings for Yu or not, it's impossible for her not to feel resentful after seeing Yu sleeping in the same room with another girl.

Su Shi has reason to believe this: girls, more or less, have a possessive streak.

If she complies with her request, Yu will first create a distance between herself and Yukino, and their interactions will be very awkward. This is because she can tell that Yukino is the type of person who keeps people at arm's length and would never like a boy she is not very familiar with or who has known her for a long time to sleep in the same room with her.

Then, it also cut off any possibility of Yu and Akane Kurokawa developing a further relationship.

If things go well, Akane Kurokawa might even hold a grudge against Yukino Yukinoshita for this, causing their fake sisterhood to collapse on the spot, leading to a fierce battle between the two sides, the band's sudden demise, and its immediate disbandment. How pleasing that sounds!

Not all friendships between girls are as united as their great Crychic.

Moreover, this requires an extremely high degree of concealment.

From the opposite perspective, you can see Nagasaki Motoyo hesitating between Natsukawa Masuzu and Yukino Yukinoshita, clearly because she was bullied earlier and wanted revenge, and ultimately chose Yukino Yukinoshita.

It has nothing to do with the landmines that would cause the band to break up.

It's hard for anyone to think of this level directly.

Most importantly, Yu can either refuse or agree to this request.

I agreed, and she killed three birds with one stone.

If she refuses, that would be even better. It would show that Yu's feelings for Saki are still very deep and that she is chaste and would not get involved with other vixens.

With these thoughts in mind, Su Shi, who had been on the verge of a breakdown, finally regained her composure through her careful planning.

But the others, who were so shocked by her words that they almost had tinnitus and thought they were hallucinating, were far from being so at ease.

"Eh?!"
