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

Before the stage opens: Chapter Thirty-One: Let's go to the hot springs!

"so cold……"

The moon huddled in the corner, shivering as it tried to keep warm.

The group had just gone skiing. Riki, Tamamo, and Momo were all fine and skied down smoothly. But when it was Yue's turn, she fell right down in the snow.

Unconvinced, Yue struggled to her feet on the snow and continued to fall. After trying for more than half an hour, Yue had to admit that she didn't seem to have any talent for skiing. Giving up, she took the cable car to the end and waited for Akari and the others.

“I’ve discovered another thing that Light isn’t good at.” Momoko took off her skis and sat down next to Light.

“No matter how perfect a person is, they will always have some flaws,” Yue said.

"Moon, are you alright?" Deng followed closely behind, her down jacket stained with snow.

It's clear that the lamp probably fell a few times along the way, but it's still much better than Yue, who is completely incapable.

Finally, Lixi took off her skis and handed them to the staff member next to her, successfully retrieving the deposit that the four of them had just paid.

“Yue, it’s normal to have things you’re not good at,” Li hope said as she walked over.

"Stop talking, let's go back quickly, all I want to do now is take a shower," Yue said, sneezing.

—————Qunlinwu~Sanba7 Yinsan—————

“Il-Cold? Three Two? Tomb 7? Private Call…”

Yue leaned against the bathtub, letting the warm spring water immerse her body.

Perhaps because they left too early, there are only four of them left in the women's bathhouse now.

"It feels so good..."

My body, chilled by the cold wind, recovered after sitting idly at the finish line in the afternoon, soaking in the warm hot spring water.

The rising steam from the hot spring swirled into mist in the air, blurring the surrounding scenery.

Just as Yue was getting drowsy and about to fall asleep from the warm hot spring.

Taozi pushed open the door, followed by Lixi and Deng.

"Moon, couldn't you wait for us? You actually came in here to enjoy the hot spring all by yourself." Momoko said as she took off her bath towel and soaked herself in the warm spring water. Tamamo and Riki followed suit and entered the hot spring.

"Speaking of which, both Deng and Yue are usually restrained by their clothes, but now they look exceptionally well-endowed." Momoko stretched out her hands and gestured in the air.

"Peach..." Upon hearing Peach's words, Deng blushed and shrank back into the water.

"Senior Peach, stop teasing Deng." Li hope stepped forward, shielding Deng behind her, and spoke up to stop Peach's verbal harassment.

"Lixi, you're actually quite well-endowed," Taozi commented, looking at Lixi as she stood up in the water.

"Ah!" Lixi realized what she had just done and immediately squatted down, covering her beautiful figure with the water.

Yue leaned against the hot stone in the pool, watching the interaction of the people in front of her, and slowly closed her eyes. She knew that as long as she ignored Taozi and didn't respond to her, Taozi would soon come to her with teary eyes, begging her to talk to her.

Unfortunately, Deng and Lixi are unaware of this yet, and are thus being manipulated by Taozi.

As for why Yue discovered this, it can only be said that it was all experience gained from previous lessons learned through blood and tears.

Soon, Yue's proposed special effects plan for Kurosawa Momoko was confirmed. After teasing Riki and Akari, Momoko turned to look at Yue, who had been silent all along.

"Moon Girl, Moon Girl, are you alright? Moon Girl, say something!"

With her eyes closed, Yue could tell from the sound of flowing water that Taozi had most likely already gathered around her.

Yue submerged herself further into the water, her long, black hair spreading out in the water, responding to Momo's words with her actions.

"Is Yue-chan shy?" Momoko's voice was getting closer and closer, and judging from the direction, the other person should have already arrived beside her.

"Tsuki-chan, Tsuki-chan, say something!" Momo reached out and grabbed Tsuki's arm, shaking it.

"I don't really want to talk to you right now, so please keep a safe social distance from me," Yue said in a very formulaic manner.

"Does Tsuki-chan hate me?" Momoko pretended to cry, looking at Tsuki with pitiful eyes.

Yue offered no comment on Momoko's performance and had no intention of cooperating, completely ignoring Momoko as if she were invisible.

"Light, now I know how to deal with Momo-senpai," Riki said after seeing the interaction between Light and Momo.

"Moon and Peach are very close." Light smiled as she watched the interaction between Peach and Moon.

I used to have this warm feeling of home, but I lost it. If I could, I would like to have it like this forever.

As the girl experienced this heartwarming scene, her mindset gradually began to change without her realizing it.

————Girls playing————

"Light, milk or coffee, which do you prefer?" Lixi asked Light, standing in front of the vending machine and looking at the drinks inside.

"Milk will do, thank you Lixi."

Lixi inserted two coins, bent down to take out the milk from the dispenser, and handed the milk, still covered with a layer of water droplets, to the lamp behind him.

She took a can of iced coffee, pulled the tab, and sipped it slowly.

Deng sat obediently on the chair by the door, sipping her milk, with strands of white liquid spilling from the corners of her mouth.

Peach crossed her arms over her chest, staring at the drinks in another vending machine with a serious expression, as if she were about to make a life-or-death decision.

"Moon, would you like bitter melon-flavored milk or strawberry-flavored coffee?"

Yue was already feeling a bit dizzy from soaking in the hot spring, but after hearing Momoko's question, she instantly shivered.

“I don’t want to drink it. You can buy it for yourself. I don’t want to drink this weird-tasting beverage.”

"Lixi, could you buy me a bottle of milk? Thank you."

"Here you go." Li hope placed the milk in Yue's hand, thoughtfully unzipping the bottle for her, and asked with concern, "Yue, are you alright?"

"It's just that I soaked it for a little too long, and my head is a bit dizzy." Yue picked up the milk and gulped down a big mouthful. The cold milk slid down her lips, refreshing and pleasant.

"Pfft, what is this taste like?!" Peach stuck out her tongue, looking at the bitter melon-flavored milk in her hand with disbelief. "How can it taste so awful?"

“I think… strawberry coffee might be better,” Lantern suggested to Peach.

"Then I'll give it a try." Peach threw the unfinished bitter melon-flavored milk into the trash can without hesitation, then put in coins to buy a strawberry-flavored coffee. After taking a sip, the same expression appeared on her face as before.

"This tastes awful too."

"I thought you knew, but I didn't expect you to actually think these two drinks would taste good in the first place?" Yue looked at Taozi and saw that she had actually tasted the two drinks that were comparable to the taste of the ancient gods, and her face showed an incredulous expression.

Before the stage opens: Chapter Thirty-Two: Ping Pong and Ghost Stories are an indispensable part of a hot spring trip (4k)

Following the traditions of Japanese hot spring trips and Japanese anime, the typical time to finish soaking in the hot spring is usually followed by ghost stories and a game of ping-pong.

Moreover, hotels with hot springs, no matter how small, always set aside an area to set up several ping-pong tables.

Yue had actually thought about why she should do strenuous exercise after soaking in the hot spring, but since she had already left Momo standing there for half a day, she couldn't refuse Momo's invitation now.

After being grouped by drawing lots, Lixi and Deng were in one group, while Yue and Taozi were in another.

“Since we couldn’t decide a winner last time, let’s continue with ping-pong. Let’s have a ping-pong Revue.” Peach twirled the ping-pong ball in her hand, her eyes gleaming with a hint of challenge.

"If Momoko wants, I have no objection." After a period of rest, Tsuki had recovered from the aftereffects of the hot spring and was waiting for Momoko's serve with her racket in hand.

"Moon, get ready, watch this, Stage Girl Serve!" Momo recited a strange move title as she served a very simple ball.

Yue easily swung her racket, sending it flying in a red arc through the air, returning Taozi's serve.

"Heave-ho!" Peach quickly swung her racket and returned the ping-pong ball.

Yue was caught off guard by Taozi's sudden change of direction. The ping-pong ball flew past Yue's hand and landed on the ground. Her brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of surprise and astonishment.

"Yay! I've already won a point!" Peach said happily, her smile bright and satisfied, as if winning this point meant winning the whole game.

"Peach, if that's how it is, then I'll have to get serious too." Yue bent down to pick up the ball from it, raised her racket, and served a quick serve towards Peach.

The moment the ball and racket meet, Peach swings the racket forcefully, sending the ball towards the opponent.

The ball flew across the half-court and landed on Yue's side. Yue met the ball accurately and hit it back with a backhand.

The ball shuttled back and forth between the two girls, who, as stage performers, moved quickly and nimbly, showcasing their physical prowess.

Compared to the intense match between Yue and Taozi, the match between Lixi and Deng on the other side looked much more relaxed.

"Su Shi said last time that Xiangzi was getting close to a girl from Yuqiu. Is Xiangzi really in Yuqiu?" Li hope easily fed the ball to Deng's hand, her expression slightly curious.

"Hmm... I've already seen Xiangzi before." Deng returned the ball.

"Really? She really went to Yuu-oka." Li hope caught the ball and passed it to Deng Shun again.

"Lixi, are we going to find Xiangzi?" Deng asked.

“I’m not Su Shi,” Li hope’s reply made the answer clear.

Before Deng could say anything more, he heard a loud bang from the battlefield where Peach and Moon were fighting.

Deng and Lixi turned their heads and saw that Taozi was holding a broken racket.

The match between Yue and Momoko ended in a draw due to the old rackets.

The four of them had no choice but to prepare to return to their room and go to Qiling (8) to hold a horror story conference.

—————The girl is walking—————

The dark brown soda was poured into a glass, and white foam rose from the top.

Four people sat around a table in Yue's room, with a glass of cola in front of each person.

The candle borrowed from the boss was placed in the center of the table, its flame flickering and radiating a warm light.

"Is everyone ready? I'm going to turn off the lights." Peach turned off the lights and quickly ran back, sitting down at the table.

After the lights were turned off, the only light source in the room was the candle on the table. The candlelight cast deep shadows on the walls, making it seem as if a corner of the room held countless secrets.

Looking at the surroundings, Deng felt a sense of tension and fear, and shrank back under the table.

"Who wants to go first? Who wants to go first?" Peach asked excitedly.

"I...I don't know any ghost stories," Deng said timidly.

“I’m not usually interested in ghost stories, so I don’t know anything about them,” Li hope said.

Peach had no choice but to turn her gaze to the moon.
