In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

But the most crucial point is that the other party also knows Toyokawa Shoko. Although the two had an unpleasant encounter last time, what about before that?

She couldn't help but recall the two people she had seen chatting happily at the entrance of Xiuhua High School.

At that moment, Toyokawa Shoko's smile was so bright.

So she couldn't help but wonder if the other person had obtained information from Toyokawa Shoko that she didn't know about.

Although there are variables, the other party is also someone who must be present.

Because if he weren't there, Takamatsu would definitely run away.

At this time, Nagasaki Motoyo also had the same idea as Shirakawa Sawa.

Let's take it one step at a time...

Volume 1: Author's Note on Release!!!

As a message for launching a product, I naturally want to share some heartfelt thoughts.

As a new author with a new book, I am so grateful for the support and encouragement of all my readers that I have been able to get to this point.

I read every single post and comment, whether it's encouragement, advice, or criticism. I read them all carefully and kept them all; I haven't deleted a single one.

First of all, I would like to thank all the experts who have supported me, encouraged me, and provided me with data. You have given me the motivation to persevere. My gratitude is beyond words.

Secondly, I would like to apologize to those readers who felt that some of the settings and plots in my book were poorly written or caused you any offense.

After all, my personal skills are limited, and it is difficult to achieve perfection. I hope the experts will understand.

I will take into account the suggestions in the comments section and avoid plot points and settings that may cause offense or discomfort.

Especially after it's published, I will put even more effort into polishing this book.

After all, once it's released, the big shots will have to pay to subscribe. I don't want you to spend money to read a bunch of nonsense or a pile of history. This is the most basic return I can give to you for your paid support.

There's so much I want to say, but a thousand words can't compare to an extra chapter, so I'll let the update speak for itself.

After the book is published, the daily update schedule will return to four chapters, and an extra week of free updates will be provided as a way of thanking all the readers.

If I have the capacity in the future, I will offer a bonus chapter. I hope you all can continue to support me.

Finally, thank you to the 46 generous donors who supported me with paid subscriptions before the product was released!

Volume One: Chapter Sixty-Three: The Great Cause of Rejuvenation Takes Another Step Forward

After placing the order, Nagasaki Motoyo's gaze returned to Takamatsu Akari's face, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"Long time no see, Deng-chan."

"I never expected to run into you here."

"Perhaps this is fate..."

Takamatsu nodded, but didn't say anything.

Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes were gentle, and her voice was soft.

"We haven't seen each other since that day."

"Sometimes I wonder if Deng Jiang is eating properly, or if she forgets to bring an umbrella on rainy days?"

"I remember you liked to write and draw in notebooks. Could it be that you've collected another set of notebooks?"

At this point, she sighed softly.

"Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that it would be great if we could sit down and have a proper conversation face to face someday."

"If everyone could sit down and communicate properly, misunderstandings wouldn't arise from a lack of communication."

"It seems like everyone these days has something they're not comfortable saying aloud..."

Takamatsu looked up at her, her eyes sparkling.

These words truly touched her.

It was very sincere, like a long-lost friend slowly sharing their feelings.

His tone was gentle, without any strong emotional expression or overt sentiment.

At first, she was a little worried about how she would respond if the other party got emotional or asked her questions about CRYCHIC's disbandment.

Hearing what the other person said, her anxiety gradually subsided, and her emotions relaxed somewhat.

"Su Shi, I..."

Nagasaki Motoyo tilted her head slightly, her eyes filled with encouragement.

"It's okay, Tou-chan, you can say whatever you want."

Gao Songdeng lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice softened.

"The band's... disbandment..."

"It's all because of me..."

"It's because I sang badly...that's why..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shiina Tatsuki, standing behind the counter, immediately retorted.

"That's not true!"

"It's not the light's fault!"

Takamatsu looked up in surprise, waiting for the other person to continue.

She was actually a little surprised that the other person would say that.

Although their relationship was somewhat unsealed thanks to Shirakawa's mediation, that was in the absence of CRYCHIC and without discussing topics related to the band or live performances.

But right now, they're talking about CRYCHIC, about her own responsibilities.

Before CRYCHIC's first live performance, Takamatsu Akari's impression of Shiina Tatsuki was that she had high standards for herself and others.

When I couldn't make a sound during my first rehearsal, or when I encountered problems during the adaptation process, the other person would point out my problems without any mercy.

So after the band disbanded, Gao Songdeng subconsciously assumed that the other party would also blame him for the disbandment.

So when I saw the other party say it wasn't their responsibility, I was quite surprised.

Her words, spoken with intense emotion, naturally attracted the attention of the other three people besides Takamatsu Akari.

Feeling a little embarrassed to be stared at by four people at the same time, Shiina Tatsuki decided to offer a brief explanation after seeing the surprised and curious looks in Takamatsu Akari's eyes.

"Deng, you sang very well..."

"The band's breakup is not Deng's responsibility."

"If we're talking about responsibility, isn't it that guy's responsibility?"

"Disappearing without a word, quitting without explanation, showing absolutely no sense of responsibility or awareness..."

Nagasaki Motoyo was startled and immediately interrupted her.

"Lixi!"

This time, the tone was slightly hurried and contained a hint of severity.

It's like dealing with a disobedient child.

She couldn't let the other person finish speaking, nor could she let them attribute the disbandment of CRYCHIC to Toyokawa Shoko.

In other words, the reason for the disbandment cannot be attributed to any one of the five members.

That would be detrimental to reviving the band.

Since it's a resurrection, the goal is to return to the original warm, family-like atmosphere, so naturally it has to be the original five people, not one less.

If the responsibility for the band's disbandment is attributed to a certain person before the band is revived, even if it is eventually revived, this will continue to create conflicts and rifts.

So even if she felt in her heart that the band's breakup was related to someone, she couldn't guide or conclude whose fault it was; instead, she had to make everyone look like no one was responsible.

Then they fabricate a vague and general reason and shift all the responsibility onto it.

She had already come up with the reason: a lack of communication.

Seeing that Shiina Tatsuki had shut her mouth, Nagasaki Motoyo continued speaking, but her gaze was fixed on Takamatsu Akari and Shirakawa Sawa, and her tone softened.

"Xiao Xiang... she must have some unspeakable troubles..."

"After all, we've never sat down for a proper talk, and we don't know what each other is thinking..."

"I think the best way is for everyone to sit down first, then talk it over and clear up the misunderstandings."

Her gaze was fixed entirely on Gao Songdeng's face, her tone extremely gentle.

"What do you think, Deng-chan?"

Shirakawa Sawa also stared at Takamatsu Akari.

He could sense that the other person's thinking had changed, but he wasn't quite sure how much of a change there was.

If not much changes occur, the other party will definitely question Nagasaki Motoyo next: why is it that she did nothing wrong, Shoko did nothing wrong, you did nothing wrong, no one did anything wrong, but the band still disbanded?

At this moment, this question did indeed arise in Gao Songdeng's mind.

However, she then thought of her conversation with Shirakawa Ze yesterday, and the words she had just told herself not to let the past bind her.

If we continue to dwell on the reasons for the disbandment at this point instead of seeking a breakthrough, then we are still using the past to bind ourselves.

This does not align with her current expectations of herself.

This doesn't meet Shirakawa Sawa's expectations of her at all.

"Keep moving forward, there will always be a way."

She mentally repeated what Shirakawa Sawa had said yesterday, then looked up at Nagasaki Motoyo and nodded.
