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

"We are beings chosen by destiny!"

For some reason, Hinasaki suddenly remembered Ave Mujica's performance style.

She turned to look in Toyokawa Shoko's direction and found that the other girl was staring at the image projected by Morfonica with starry eyes.

"Okay! It's confirmed! There's definitely something wrong with Tsukimori's teaching style!" Hinasaki Tsuki covered her face and sighed silently.

"And... a girl band is definitely not normal!"

BangDream: Chapter Twenty-Eight - Transition Meow

"Thank you all for your hard work!" Hinasaki spoke first, her voice tinged with fatigue, but she still wore a polite smile.

The members of Mygo had just finished a busy PV recording. A staff member standing to the side looked up when he heard them and smiled back, saying, "You've all worked hard too."

The air still held the warmth of the stage lights, and the atmosphere in the studio gradually relaxed.

Ai Yin let out a long sigh, raising her hand to brush away the sweat-dampened strands of hair from her forehead, her face still showing signs of nervousness. She turned to look at Su Shi, her tone tinged with unease: "That shot just now...did I stand in the wrong place?"

"It's alright. Everyone's attention should be focused on Xiaodeng, so they shouldn't notice your mistake," Su Shi said.

Not far away, Riki had just put down her drumsticks and wiped the sweat from her brow. She turned to look at Hinasaki, her voice tinged with a hint of uncertainty: "Xia Yue, did I make a mistake just now?"

Hinasaki was taken aback, then shook her head, picked up a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Riki, her tone somewhat helpless: "During the performance just now, how could I have the energy to pay attention to other people's performance? But if it's Riki, there will definitely be no problem."

Lixi took the water, her face slightly flushed.

Meanwhile, Lenai had already collapsed onto the sofa in the rest area, lazily stretching out her limbs and complaining in a soft voice, "So tired."

Gao Songdeng stood to the side, holding a water bottle, his gaze sweeping over his tired teammates: "Everyone... has done a great job."

As the staff began tidying up the equipment, the studio lights gradually dimmed, and a relaxed atmosphere slowly spread as the shoot ended.

Feeling this sense of relaxation, the members of Mygo also let down their guard.

"How about we try that barbecue place from yesterday?" Ai Yin asked first, her tone filled with her usual excitement.

"Barbecue again?" Hinasaki rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly. "Have we been eating barbecue a little too often lately?"

"Besides, eating too much barbecue is also unhealthy," Su Shi replied seriously, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

"So, Su Shishi, what do you want to eat?" Ai Yin retorted without backing down, slightly raising her chin and adopting a posture as if to offer suggestions.

"Why only ask Su Shi?" Li hope glanced around at everyone, then simply pulled everyone together, "Xiao Yue, Xiao Deng, what do you want to eat?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lena raised one hand high, her yellow and blue eyes shining with excitement: "Matcha Parfait!"

Hinasaki couldn't help but say, "Rakuna, that can only be considered a dessert, right?"

Lixi, on the other hand, was clearly used to Lena's erratic thinking. He simply patted her head lightly and said in a flat tone, "I'll buy it for you after we finish our main meal."

Takamatsu's gaze was drawn to an advertisement on the wall. She gently tugged at the sleeve of the person next to her and whispered, "Um... everyone, how about trying this?"

"What is that?" Ai Yin was the first to come over, and the others also gathered around.

The advertisement is a promotional poster for a buffet restaurant, covered with colorful and tempting pictures of food, accompanied by the eye-catching text: "From all corners of the world, delicious food from around the globe, we have it all!"

Hinasaki stared at the advertisement, her lips twitching slightly. She thought to herself, "They claim to have every kind of ingredient? This advertisement is outrageous. If they could actually deliver on that promise, the cost would be astronomical."

"A buffet?" Ai Yin nodded, pondering. "It sounds pretty good!"

"In that case, everyone should be able to find what they want to eat," Li hope said, glancing at the advertisement carefully before nodding in agreement.

"I agree!" Lena excitedly raised her hand, her eyes fixed on the dessert section of the poster.

"2phosphorus 3lin 7sbap looks pretty interesting." Hinasaki nodded slightly. "Then let's give it a try."

Nagasaki Motoyo was always pragmatic. Seeing that no one had any objections, she made a direct conclusion: "Since everyone agrees, let's go."

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

As Mygo's six members pushed open the door to the buffet restaurant, they were instantly enveloped by a rich aroma.

Bright lights illuminated the restaurant, and various dishes were neatly arranged on the long dining table. Steaming hot roast meat, tempting desserts, and a variety of hot soups, sushi, and fresh fruits and vegetables seemed to be silently beckoning to them.

"Wow, this place looks amazing!" Aine exclaimed first, her eyes shining as if she had discovered a treasure.

"It seems like you've indeed chosen a very nice restaurant?"

The restaurant wasn't crowded, but it was still bustling with people, and there were always a few people choosing their food.

Everyone consciously dispersed and went to the areas that interested them.

Lixi's gaze immediately fell on the meat section, where rows of freshly grilled steaks, sausages, and roast chicken whetted her appetite.

She skillfully picked up the plate and tongs, carefully selecting the most fragrant and tender parts.

"Lixi, are you planning to eat this much meat?" Su Shi asked as she passed by with a plate in her hand.

"Huh? Why are all of your dishes vegetarian, Su Shi?" Li hope turned around when she heard the voice and saw that Su Shi's plate was mostly salad and a few pieces of sushi, which looked fresh and healthy.

On the other hand, Hinasaki was quite interested in the dessert table.

She placed several pieces of chocolate cake and strawberry mousse on her plate, and then hesitated whether to add a piece of cheesecake.

"Xiaoyue, don't you need to maintain your calorie intake?" Aine asked, looking at the pile of desserts and cakes in Hinasaki's hands.

In her memory, although Xiaoyue was not very strict about her calorie intake, she would not eat so many high-calorie foods at once.

"It's okay, it's a special situation today, and everyone can eat together." Yue bit her lip and put the cake on the plate without hesitation.

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

Ai Yin spoke first, her eyes fixed on the thick, juicy steaks on Rikki's plate, a mischievous smile on her lips: "Rikki, your steak looks so delicious, can I have a piece?"

Lixi was cutting her steak with a fork when she heard this. She paused for a moment, looked up at her, and said with a helpless tone, "Why don't you get it yourself?"

"Your piece looks tastier, doesn't it?" Ai-yin smiled and shrugged, revealing a coquettish expression.

Li hope sighed helplessly and casually placed a slice of steak on Ai Yin's plate: "I'm really impressed with you."

Ai-yin laughed triumphantly, immediately forked the steak, took a bite, and exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Thank you, Rikki!"

Li hope's lips twitched. He was about to say something when his gaze was drawn to Le Nai's actions.

Just as Rana's hand was about to touch the second matcha parfait, Nagasaki Sose quickly grabbed it.

"Lenai, eat less sweets," Su Shi said gently but firmly, with a hint of authority in her eyes. "Eating too many sweets is bad for your health."

"Hmm, not satisfied..." Le Nai pouted, looking like she had been deprived of happiness, and looked at Su Shi pitifully like a kitten.

However, Su Shi was clearly immune to such a coquettish approach. She gently shook her head, her tone gentle yet firm: "Today is a celebration, and you've already eaten quite a few desserts. It's time to eat something normal."

As she spoke, Su Shi moved a bowl of salad from her plate and placed it in front of Le Nai. The brightly colored vegetables looked less appealing than the matcha parfait from before.

Xiaoyue, standing to the side, clearly saw that Lena's frustration visibly deepened.

"Luckily, Su Shi's 'mother' didn't notice me..."

Xiaoyue glanced at the food on her plate, which no matter how you looked at it, could hardly be considered healthy, and silently quickened her pace, preparing to "destroy the evidence."

"Ding dong!"

Just as everyone was battling with the food, Hinasaki's phone beeped with a message notification.

"A sneak peek at the official Bang Dream promotional PV?"

BangDream: The weirder the performance in Chapter Twenty-Nine, the higher the popularity?

The phone screen lit up, its blinding white light illuminating Hinasaki's face, with several large characters prominently displayed in the center:

"Sneak peek at the official BanG Dream promotional PV!"

This should have been exciting news, but Xiaoyue's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and a complex emotion welled up inside her—not only was she not excited, but she even felt a chill, as if a cold wind had brushed past her back.

She really knows what kind of performance footage everyone wanted to film back then.

"Hurry up and watch it!" Ai Yin couldn't contain her excitement any longer, urging him on as she decisively pressed the play button.

The phone screen flickered, and the video slowly loaded. A soft female voice began to play, and clear, familiar opening lines came from the speaker—

"ガールズバンドパーティ!"

As the sound faded, the BangDream competition logo gracefully appeared in the center of the screen, its light subtly shifting, as if drawing back the curtain for the upcoming performance.

Immediately afterwards, the scenes shifted rapidly, flashing back to the highlights of each band like a movie. Lively notes, dazzling lights, exhilarating performances… every frame was meticulously edited, creating a powerful visual impact.

The sight of the girls waving their instruments, the singer's passionate expression, and the enthusiastic applause and cheers from the audience all intertwined to create an exhilarating atmosphere.

"Wait! Look!" Li hope suddenly pointed to the rapidly flashing image on the screen, her voice brimming with barely concealed excitement, "That looked like us just now!"

"Where?" Xiaoyue was instantly drawn in, her gaze fixed on the screen, but she didn't have time to see the fleeting clip clearly.

She decisively dragged the progress bar back a little and then started playing it at a low speed. The scene slowly rewound, and when it played again, the speed was much slower.

Sure enough, in the instant the camera switched, she saw the scene Lixi was pointing to—it was their performance in the revival competition. Lixi's action of hitting the drumhead, Yue's figure pressing the piano keys, and everyone's appearance on the stage all briefly appeared in the frame.

"I'm sure I'll gain tons of fans now!" Ai Yin stared at the steadily rising number of views at the bottom of the video, her eyes shining.

Her lips curled into an exaggerated smile, almost overflowing her cheeks, radiating an undisguised excitement and pride.

"That's awesome! Should I start preparing autographs?" She waved her hands, as excited as if she had won some big prize.

However, Su Shi, standing beside her, frowned slightly at her overly bright smile and couldn't help but say with a look of disgust, "Hey, don't laugh so exaggeratedly, it's disgusting..."

She deliberately drew out her words, her tone filled with undisguised disdain. As she spoke, she moved a little distance away, as if trying to avoid the "radiation range" of Aine's beaming smile.

"Oh dear, Su Shishi, you have such poor taste!" Ai Yin didn't care at all and continued to grin. "This is the key moment for me to radiate my charm. My fans will definitely love it!"

"Fans might like it, but we probably won't." Su Shi coldly uttered these words and turned away, ignoring them.

Aiyin and Lixi continued their playful banter, but the others chose to ignore their antics, focusing their attention on their phone screens and the video content.

The "previous recap" part of the video ended quickly, and the scene gradually transitioned to the PV segment where everyone was filming. The expressions of the group all tensed up, especially Hinasaki. Although she had prepared herself mentally beforehand, she couldn't help but hold her breath when the video actually started playing.

On the screen, footage of Poppin'Party's aerial performance flashed by. They played freely in mid-air, surrounded by dazzling light effects, creating a dreamlike scene. And most astonishingly, they actually scattered chocolate shells in the air!

Hinasaki stared at this illogical scene, her lips twitching slightly. She couldn't help but think to herself: This art style demands far too much from human comprehension...

What's even more outrageous is that the organizers actually managed to complete filming and editing in just one morning? Are they all superhumans?

However, even the Superman organizers seemed to have some concerns, as the style immediately became more subtle when the scene switched to Roselia.

For Roselia's more avant-garde clothing designs, only a blurry silhouette flashed across the screen.
