After dropping out of school, I chose to join a girls' band.

Xiao Deng also sat up and greeted everyone.

Only Renai-chan's way of greeting was a bit peculiar: "My stomach... is hungry."

Speaking of breakfast, everyone felt a growing hunger pang in their stomachs. Yesterday, the only staple food in their "dark hot pot" was actually Le Nai's two bundles of buckwheat noodles, but if it was to be divided among six people, everyone only ate about one and a half portions.

"Speaking of which... it seems we didn't prepare breakfast. Let's all go out to eat together later."

They hadn't planned to eat at school in the first place. If Aine hadn't suggested making a "dark hot pot" last night, they would have had a meal together outside before returning to the school dormitory.

"Hmm! Do you have parfaits?"

When Lena heard that they were going out for breakfast, she instinctively started asking if they had her favorite matcha parfait.

"Lanna-chan, you can't eat cold food first thing in the morning, or you'll get an upset stomach and won't be able to participate in the afternoon performance."

Although Su Shi said last night that he would leave the band after the performance, he is still very concerned about the health of the band members.

"Well……"

Although Su Shi didn't know about Le Nai's stomach upset last time, it was clear that her statement still triggered Le Nai's PTSD. Between enjoying a matcha parfait in the morning and missing the chance to play guitar in the afternoon and having a stomachache, and feeling wronged in the morning and enjoying playing guitar in the afternoon, Le Nai decisively chose the latter.

"Do you have buckwheat noodles?"

Yue said, "I think they should all have that, but didn't we already have soba noodles last night? Does Rakuna-chan want some more?"

"Mmm! I want to eat!"

----------

After quickly tidying up the astronomy club and returning all the dormitory supplies borrowed from the student council, the six of them left the school through the main gate, carrying their respective instruments, leaving the security guard looking on in astonishment.

Although many people in the school form bands with other schools, she didn't remember seeing anyone enter the school in the morning.

"When did they go in?"

The security guard was completely baffled and could only assume that someone had entered the school while he was still half asleep that morning.

After having a quick breakfast at a nearby ramen shop, and with only 3 or 4 hours left before their scheduled afternoon performance, the group decided to find a place to practice before the show started.

“There probably aren’t any available recording studios at Ring right now.”

Lixi, who works at Ring, remembers that the recording studio was fully booked this morning.

"Should we go somewhere else? I remember there's a live house nearby that can only hold 100 people, but it's pretty well-equipped. Maybe there are any seats available?"

After thinking for a moment, Yue remembered what Popipa had told her about the live house where they often performed.

"Oh! Xiaoyue, you mean Galaxy?"

It's clear that Aine, who has been studying with Popipa, also has some impression of the live house that Yue mentioned.

"I remember that place was probably owned by Masking, and there haven't been any shows in Ras lately, so maybe we can still see Masking when we go there."

"Ras's masking senior?"

Shiina Tatsuki is certainly familiar with RAS, one of the three bands that performed at the Tokyo Dome in the Bang Dream competition.

Masking in RAS is the same drummer as Shiina Tatsuki, and Shiina Tatsuki has even performed at the Tokyo Dome twice. Shiina Tatsuki rarely comes to Ring for rehearsals, and she rarely performs at Ring.

While meeting such a legendary drummer wasn't as exciting as meeting Afterglow, it was still enough to excite her.

When the Stage Begins: Chapter 82 Ryuna-chan's Sister?

Inside the live house Galaxy, a group of six had just finished practicing and had lunch at the Galaxy Noodle Shop next door. They were heading towards the ring.

As Aine walked, she said, "What a pity, I didn't see masking-senpai."

Yue glanced at the trending topics on her phone, where news about Ras's performance was quite popular: "I guess my seniors are probably practicing with Ras now. I remember they had a performance at Dub in a while?"

When Aine heard Tsuki mention the RAS performance, she immediately perked up.

Does Ras have any performances recently?

"Aine... are you a fan of Ras?"

Looking at Aine's unusually excited expression, Tsuki felt that something was wrong. She had never heard Aine talk about anything related to Ras before, so why was she so excited now that she heard that Ras was going to hold a performance?

"No, I prefer Pastel Palettes to Ras."

Ai Yin shook her head and said.

"Then why are you so excited about Ras's performance?"

Lixi clearly felt that Aine's strong reaction to Ras was somewhat abnormal.

"That's because I heard that the members of Ras are all very talented, and I want to go and learn some performance skills from them."

Ai Yin said with a smile, but... that was a lie. In reality, she had heard that everyone in Ras was extremely popular.

If Chuchu could take a photo with her and post it on social media, it would definitely go viral.

Thinking of this, Aine couldn't help but let out a slightly silly laugh.

"Aine...when did you become so studious?"

Looking at Aine's somewhat disdainful smile, Yue couldn't help but wonder about her true motives.

"I remember Ras' guitarist Lock is in Haneoka, right? If Aine wants to learn from her, why don't you just look for her at the school?"

"Ugh..."

Aine then remembered that she had heard from someone at the beginning of the school year that Rikka, a second-year student, was indeed the guitarist in Ras.

Seeing that one plan was not working, Ai Yin decided to use a roundabout tactic: "Besides, going to see a top band perform would be a great boost for our band, so let's all go together."

Aine had only mentioned that she was interested in RAS's performance, and no one reacted much at first, but when she said that everyone should go see it together...

The expressions on Yue, Lixi, and Sushi's faces were somewhat unnatural.

After a brief silence, Yue finally spoke up and gave an excuse to move on from Aine's suggestion: "Let's talk about this after our performance. Right now, the important thing is that we're about to start our performance."

"That's right, Aine-chan. Let's talk about that after the performance. For now, let's focus on preparing for the performance later."

Su Shi understood Yue's actions perfectly and offered to cover for her.

Ai Yin said somewhat discontentedly, "Hey? But it's only noon! There's still more than an hour before the first band goes on stage for the show. We can't just sit there and do nothing, can we?"

Seeing that Aine still wanted to talk about this, Lixi helped cover it up.

"Then put on the monitoring headphones and play it yourself to listen to it, so that you don't make any mistakes when you go on stage."

"rikki! What kind of monster are you? We've been practicing for an hour already, and if we keep going, my fingers will break."

In the end, Li hope's suggestion was more effective. It turned out that Ai Yin was also a compromise. After Li hope suggested that Ai Yin continue practicing, she stopped worrying about going to see other bands perform.

----------

Inside the live house ring.

Although there is still more than half an hour before the show starts, quite a few audience members and bands have already gathered here.

Some of them were going to perform on stage, while others came to watch Popipa and Afterglow's performance because they were friends. As for how many people came to see this band, which still doesn't have a name... Yue could only say she didn't know.

However, there should still be some... at least double digits.

"Whoa... I found Xiaoyue!"

Just as Yue was pondering how many of these spectators truly belonged to them, Hai Bianmingjiu quickly ran over and hugged Yue.

"This... isn't this the same Meiku-senpai from Siegfried's beach?"

It was clear that Ai Yin still had a strong impression of the Siegfried stage play she had seen at the theater some time ago, at least she could still recognize Ming Jiu after she changed her clothes.

However, Yue quickly realized she was wrong, because Aine soon took out paper and pen and handed them to Akiko, saying, "Akiko-chan, I used to be a fan of Sweet Pleas. I've seen your performance before. Could you sign my autograph?"

"So that's why... it's because of the sweat pleats..."

"Xiaoyue, good luck with the performance!"

Following closely behind Meiku by the sea were Takachiho, Stella, Oga Mishiro (who was always by her side), and the remaining two noble ladies, Kobato Ryoko and Moriyasu Kuina.

"Thank you!"

Yue expressed her gratitude to Stella and the others for coming to support them.

Upon hearing Stella's voice, Lena leaned forward and said to Stella, "An interesting woman!"

Stella didn't find anything wrong with how Lena was addressed, and even cheered her on:

"Let's dig into the neighbor's and private life of Lena's wife @Qiqun-chan! You should keep it up too!"

The others, who had only heard Stella's falsetto in the theater before, looked at each other in bewilderment after witnessing the conversation between Lena and Stella.

"Hey... Lixi, did I hear that right? I'm not dreaming, am I?"

Aiyin nudged Lixi and asked.

"I don't think so... I'm not really sure, the other person's voice sounds just too much like a stray cat..."

At this moment, Li hope rubbed his face, somewhat unsure of himself. After all, while Lena and Stella's voices weren't exactly the same, he couldn't tell them apart at all with his eyes closed.

"Could it be that one of them is Lena's older sister?"

In contrast, although Su Shi also felt something was strange, she was obviously much calmer. Her first thought was that the other person and Le Nai were sisters.

As for why she doesn't look like Meng (II) Lin Ba Wu 〇 Jiu San 6 Jiu at all, Su Shi said she didn't know why either.

------------

Actually, RAS doesn't seem to have appeared except for Lock (laughs).

As the performance begins: Chapter 83 Peach: Something's not right with this script.

Fortunately, Yue quickly introduced Stella and the others to everyone, which dispelled Aine and the others' thoughts about whether the shopkeeper had an illegitimate granddaughter. After all, it seemed reasonable that Rana inherited the white hair and Stella inherited the shopkeeper's pink hair.

Having just said goodbye to Siegfried's group of five, everyone had just walked backstage when they saw familiar faces coming out of Popipa's dressing room.

Nana Oba saw them and waved to greet them, saying, "Good morning! Aine, Tsukimi."

Good morning, Nana-senpai!

Aine was very excited to see Nana Ohba again after some time.

"Good morning, senior, da, chu wu? qi ba baO qi liu 〣? yi chang senpai."
