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

"Good morning, does Ai-yin play the guitar too?"

Chihaya Aine deliberately feigned humility.

Well, let's just say I performed on stage.

This statement isn't exactly a lie, since she really did perform at school talent shows and similar events in her third year of junior high.

However, for Goto Ichiri, the "performance" here refers to the kind that takes place in a livehouse.

This immediately filled her with longing and admiration.

"Aine is amazing! She's even done a live performance!"

"I've always thought the people at live shows are so cool! They're like they're glowing!"

Chihaya Aine felt slightly embarrassed when she realized the other person had misunderstood.

"Haha... It's alright..."

Goto Ichiri was surprised to find that her new friend was also a guitarist, and her desire to share immediately arose; her bright blue eyes filled with a longing to communicate.

"What piece has Aine been practicing lately?"

"Perhaps we can have a talk!"

Ai Yin felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't possibly say that she hadn't touched a guitar for months and was having trouble playing even a simple tune like Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, could she?

However, being a social expert, she knew the other person was in a state of wanting to share, so she smiled and spoke up.

"Recently, I've been busy with transferring schools, so I haven't been practicing as much."

"Hey Ichiri-chan, I've noticed you carry your guitar with you every day. What song have you been practicing lately?"

Goto Ichiri's eyes lit up, and she immediately named several pieces of music, then began to explain why she liked them.

Chihaya Aine became increasingly confused as she listened, realizing that she couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all.

Why are there so many technical terms that are beyond the scope of the curriculum in such a short sentence?

And they're all in English!

I hate English!

After enduring Goto Ichiri's speech with great effort, Chihaya Aine returned to her seat, covered in sweat, and sighed softly.

For some reason, she felt that her start at this new school wasn't as smooth as she had imagined...

Shirakawa Ze, who was standing to the side, didn't expect to have something funny to watch so early in the morning. He tried to hold back for a long time, but finally couldn't help but laugh.

Chihaya Aine immediately looked over, gritting her fangs and clenching her fists.

She didn't know exactly what the other person was laughing at, but she knew they were laughing at her.

Based on her conversations with the other person over the past two days, she noticed that the other person seemed to enjoy discussing topics related to guitar.

I inexplicably started laughing right after we finished discussing that topic.

She suddenly realized that the other person must know or have seen that her guitar skills were not very good.

How did he figure that out?

This made Chihaya Aine very curious.

But she couldn't ask now. After all, she had just bragged to Goto Ichiri, and if she were to reveal her secret immediately, she would be completely exposed.

The four classes in the morning flew by.

Having recovered considerably after catching up on her sleep, Takamatsu Akari immediately took a notebook out of her bag, hugged it to her chest, and turned to look at Shirakawa Sawa after hearing the school bell.

"Ze-jun, let's go eat!"

Seeing the notebook, Shirakawa Ze roughly guessed why he had stayed up all night yesterday.

However, there's no need to say it now.

He responded and then went to eat with the girl.

After the meal, the two went to the Astronomy Department.

Takamatsu Akari closed the classroom door, then walked to a nearby telescope and looked at Shirakawa Sawa.

"Ze-jun, do you still remember this telescope?"

Shirakawa Ze nodded.

"I used this very machine when we first looked at the stars here."

"The one next to you is the one you use."

Takamatsu Akari nodded, then turned to look out the window, a look of reminiscence appearing in her eyes.

"When I was little, I don't know why, but I easily attracted strange or even disgusted looks from others."

"Gradually, I didn't know what to do to fit in with everyone..."

"I've always been like a woodlice living in the shadows, used to curling myself up and thinking that this way I won't hurt others."

"Many times, I feel lost..."

"I feel like I don't know where the road ahead leads."

"This feeling is especially strong when you see everyone around you having a great time."

"Because I don't know how to be like them..."

"Later, I had a very happy time because of CRYCHIC."

"During that time, I thought I had become like those people I used to admire."

"I also have my own friends and happiness."

"To be honest, I really miss the times when we were all together..."

She turned around and looked at Shirakawa Ze.

"After Xiangzi left, I didn't know what to do."

"I feel it's because of me again. I didn't work hard enough, and I caused Xiangzi's injury, which is why she left everyone..."

"For a long time, I didn't dare to face everyone, nor did I dare to talk about CRYCHIC."

"What I've been thinking about is escaping..."

"But after meeting you, I slowly realized that not everything needs to be answered."

"Not all problems can be solved by repentance and escapism alone."

"If I feel I'm not good enough, then I'll try my best to be better."

"I believe that I, who tried my best to express my inner feelings on stage, am more worthy of forgiveness than I, who hid in the classroom and dared not face myself."

Gao Songdeng opened the notebook in his hand, turned it around, and handed it to the boy with a determined look in his eyes.

"Ze-jun, with these feelings in mind, I wrote these lyrics..."

"I hope that even if we are still confused, we will continue to move forward."

"Let's...move forward together!"

Shirakawa nodded solemnly, took the notebook with both hands, and looked down at it.

The first line of this page reads the title of the song lyrics—"The Lost Star Calls..."

Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Wishing all my readers good fortune, health, and happiness!

Volume 1: Chapter 78 Only when you are close to someone do you realize how little you have.

Although I had read the lyrics of "Mi Xing Jiao" many times in my previous life, reading it again after listening to Gao Song Deng's monologue in the current environment gives me a completely different feeling.

Shirakawa Ze was deeply moved, and felt a lump in his throat.

Having experienced so much joy and sorrow, he finds it difficult to express his emotions despite the turmoil within him.

He looked at the girl in front of him, called out softly, and then embraced her.

Takamatsu was able to sense the emotions in the boy's heart.

At this moment, we are of one mind.

She slowly raised her hand and hugged the other person.

The saying goes, "When love is at its strongest, one realizes how little it has."

I hate that I gave too little, and I hate that I had too little time.

Shirakawa Ze feels this sentence particularly strongly now.

I only kissed her a few times, how did the school bell ring?

Reluctantly, the two had to separate and then head to the classroom.

After the first class in the afternoon, Shirakawa Sawa nudged Takamatsu Akari.
