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

Her makeup was the same as usual, natural and fresh, without much change. Xiaoyue had been paying special attention to Miaomeng's live streams these past few days, and the recent content was mostly about anecdotes from her performances, without promoting any new cosmetics, so Aiyin shouldn't have changed her makeup.

As for clothing, everyone wore the same Yuqiu school uniform, with the same style and nothing special about it.

Hinasaki Tsuki tilted her head, her brows furrowing slightly, growing more and more confused as she looked: "What's different about it?"

“Xiaoyue…” Gao Songdeng gently raised his hand, pointed to his finger, and gave a subtle hint.

Xiaoyue paused for a moment, then followed Xiaodeng's movement to look at Aine's hand. Only then did she notice that her fingernails were adorned with delicate patterns, each nail painted with a cute little brown fox, the colors fresh, lively, and full of fun.

"Aine, you changed your nails?" Hinasaki's eyes lit up as she finally noticed the difference, her tone filled with realization.

"Yes!" Aine raised her hands, proudly waving her nails in front of Yue, her face beaming with an expectant smile. "Isn't it cute?"

"Hmm, it's really quite good." Xiaoyue couldn't help but nod, a faint smile appearing on her lips. She felt that Aiyin's little tricks were not only not annoying, but rather quite interesting.

"And let me tell you! This is a matching couple's item with Su Shi!" Ai Yin said, getting more and more proud. She then took out her phone, opened a photo, and handed it to Xiao Yue, saying smugly, "Look! This is a photo of the two of us together. Don't we look great together?"

Xiaoyue leaned closer to take a look and saw that the photo showed Aine and Su Shi's hands stacked together, with the designs on their nails clearly visible. Aine's hands had a cute little fox design, while Su Shi's nails were painted with a big pink dog, creating a lively and heartwarming combination.

She glanced up at Aine, who was smiling brightly in front of her, then looked down at the hands in the photo painted with a big pink dog, and couldn't help but silently think to herself: Hmm... it really does look like a big pink dog.

Despite thinking this, Hinasaki didn't say it aloud. She just smiled and pushed the phone back: "Hmm, very good. You and Su Shishi are a perfect match."

Hearing this, Ai-yin smiled so hard her eyes narrowed, clearly very satisfied with her "masterpiece".

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

The Astronomy Club, which had not been mentioned in nearly a hundred chapters, has now reappeared in the sight of the Haneoka trio.

Pushing open the door, they were greeted by a dusty table and chairs, and scattered miscellaneous items. A faint, worn smell permeated the air, seemingly a reminder of the long-forgotten past. The three exchanged glances, their expressions troubled.

"Looks like I'll have to do a thorough cleaning." Hinasaki sighed, her gaze sweeping across the room as she began to plan the cleaning sequence in her mind.

"Hmm...it definitely needs to be sorted out properly." Takamatsu nodded, her tone calm but revealing a hint of agreement.

"Let's get started!" Miss Aine enthusiastically rolled up her sleeves, her eyes sparkling with eagerness. "Let's make this the first day of school's big cleaning a fresh start for the Astronomy Club!"

The three of them worked for nearly two hours, and the dust was gradually cleaned up, revealing the smooth wood grain on the floor again. The books and instruments were neatly arranged in the cabinet.

The evening sunlight streamed through the windows into the bright classroom, giving the entire astronomy department a fresh new look.

Ai Yin stood in the center of the classroom, hands on her hips, her face beaming with pride, and announced, "Alright! The Astronomy Club is reopening!"

Hinasaki Tsuki looked around at the newly renovated Astronomy Club, a surge of joy welling up inside her. However, for some reason, she felt something was amiss. Frowning, she looked at the two beside her with a puzzled expression: "Speaking of which...did we forget something?"

Xiaodeng stopped what she was doing—stuffing the rags—and frowned slightly, as if trying to recall something. After a moment, she nodded and said hesitantly, "Hmm...it seems like there is something I haven't done."

"Huh? What? What?" Aine looked over blankly, scanning the two faces with her eyes, trying to find the answer.

The three stood there, looking at each other, trying to recall their memories. Suddenly, their gazes fell simultaneously on the wall clock. The hands moved slowly, pointing to the rehearsal time they knew so well.

Almost instantly, the three of them opened their eyes wide and shouted in unison, "Practice!!!"

The air seemed to freeze for a second, and then the three of them hurriedly gathered up the last of their cleaning tools.

Ai Yin ran outside, clutching her head in frustration, yelling, "Oh no! We were supposed to practice the new song today!"

Hinasaki sighed helplessly, but couldn't help but quicken her pace: "Hurry up, we'll really be late if we don't leave now!"

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

In Ring's rehearsal room, Shiina Tatsuki stood with her arms crossed, leaning slightly against the wall, her gaze indifferent. Her fingers tapped rhythmically on her arms, and her toes unconsciously tapped lightly on the floor in time with her fingers. The whole movement seemed casual, yet it revealed a hidden anxiety.

On the other side, Lena sat in a chair, head down, intently strumming her guitar. She was practicing a melody by herself, occasionally adjusting the strings to produce clear notes, and she hardly spoke throughout the entire process.

As Nagasaki Motoyo finished the last problem in her homework, she glanced up at the wall clock and frowned slightly. More than ten minutes had passed, but there was still no sign of anyone else.

"Lixi..." Su Shi finished tidying up her homework and asked, her tone tinged with inquiry, "Didn't you tell them there was practice today?"

Shiina Tatsuki turned to look at her, his tone flat but tinged with impatience: "Of course I said."

Just then, Lena finished playing a piece and felt a little hungry, so she walked between the two of them to get some matcha parfait from Rinrin-senpai, of course, on Riki's tab.

Shortly after the kitten left the house, the door to the recording studio was pushed open.

"Sorry, sorry! We're late!" Mygo's three members of the Yugaoka trio ran into the rehearsal room, panting, with a hint of panic on their faces.

"It's too late... What are you three doing?" Shiina Riki stood to the side, her gaze sweeping over them. Although her tone was calm, it still revealed a hint of impatience.

Perhaps because Hinasaki was also in the group, Ritsuki's words were less harsh than usual, and she simply asked a question. Even so, Hinasaki still keenly sensed the subtle dissatisfaction in her tone.

Hinasaki Tsuki quickly waved her hand and explained, "Sorry, when I got to school today, I found the Astronomy Club was too dirty, so I couldn't help but clean it up. But after I finished cleaning, I realized I didn't have enough time..."

Upon hearing this, Li hope's furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and she glanced at her expressionlessly.

Considering that her reason was indeed valid, she ultimately didn't say anything more, only responding lightly, "Remember to check the time next time."

Then, she raised her hand and gestured to everyone: "Alright, let's get ready to practice."

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put their bags aside, and began to take out their respective musical instruments.

"Wait... where's the stray cat?"

Shiina Riki then realized that Rakuna, who was supposed to be there, was gone.

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

"Don't run around like that again!"

Shiina Ritsuki stood by the bar, a hint of impatience in his voice, his gaze fixed on Kaname Rakuna in front of him. Rakuna, meanwhile, was leisurely sitting on a high stool, slowly munching on a matcha parfait with a spoon in her hand, seemingly completely unaware of the trouble she had just gotten into.

Lixi couldn't help but frown. This was the umpteenth time she had "educated" Lenai today. Despite her stern tone and clear words, judging from Lenai's absent-minded expression, she was almost certain that the other girl hadn't listened to a word she said.

Lenai took a bite of the parfait, looked up at Lixi with innocent, wide eyes, and asked with a bewildered expression, "Huh? What did you just say?"

"..." Li hope pinched his brow speechlessly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to control his emotions.

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

As night fell, Riki and Hinasaki walked side by side on their way home. The streetlights cast a soft glow, casting long and short shadows on their figures.

Shiina Tatsuki seemed still immersed in the problems from the performance just now, her tone filled with dissatisfaction: "Seriously... Aine and Suze's level has declined too much. If this continues, can they really form a band together for a lifetime?"

Hinasaki walked beside her, listening quietly to her complaints, a smile involuntarily creeping onto her lips.

"I have a feeling that this kind of thing has happened more than once before," she said softly, with a hint of sarcasm in her voice.

"Eh..." Shiina Tatsuki paused, reminded of the previous rehearsals and performances, realizing that similar problems did indeed arise every now and then. She lowered her head and sighed helplessly, "Now that you mention it, it seems so..."

Hinasaki looked at her slightly serious profile, and her smile deepened. She looked up at the night sky, where twinkling stars sprinkled across the deep blue canvas, peaceful and beautiful.

"That's so nice..." she suddenly sighed softly, then turned to look at Lixi, her gaze gentle yet earnest. "Lixi, have you ever heard a saying?"

"Hmm?" Li hope turned his head to look at her in confusion, his eyes full of bewilderment.

"What we call our daily routine may actually be a series of miracles."

"A miracle?" Li hope frowned slightly, clearly not understanding the deeper meaning of those words.

“If we’re really going to be in a band for life, then these continuous daily routines are the main theme of our lives.” Hinasaki’s voice was gentle yet firm. “If these daily routines are miracles in themselves, then isn’t our lifelong commitment to being in a band just an ordinary and natural thing?”

Li hope was stunned, silently gazing at Xiao Yue's smiling face under the moonlight.

She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly and softened her tone: "Xiaoyue, you always say strange but philosophical things."

"Oh? Then I'll take that as a compliment!" Xiaoyue said with a grin, her tone light and cheerful.

The two continued walking along the street under the streetlights. The night breeze blew, stirring up a few fallen leaves. Their conversation blended into the quiet night. All of this was just the daily routine of Shiina Tatsuki and Hinasaki in the Mygo band.

BangDream: Author's Closing Remarks

After many twists and turns, I've written 114 million words. To say that this book has been successfully completed would be a lie, even to myself.

There are just too many foreshadowing elements that haven't been resolved, most of which came to mind when I got carried away writing. But anyway, thank you all for sticking with me this far.

To be honest, as this is my first book (excluding my embarrassing middle school experiences), I have absolutely no experience with author's notes. I can only share my writing process with you all here.

The initial outline of this book only covered the first volume. The original intention was to write a fanfiction of Revue Starlight, focusing on the story of Hikari and Ren, including a scene where the two fight on Tokyo Tower.

Later, last year I read some Mygo fanfiction, including but not limited to works by Akie and Bread, which inspired me to write some Mygo-related content. Coincidentally, both works belong to the Bushido universe and have even collaborated in games, so I thought I'd try combining the two.

However, another problem soon arose: if Hikari were the protagonist, the timeline of the original work would be significantly altered, so the design of original characters was considered. The inspiration for the protagonist's name came from my favorite "Fatal Frame" series, and some of the "Fatal Frame" storylines were also incorporated, resulting in the characters Hinasaki Tsuki and Kurosawa Momoko.

After deciding on the main characters, I started revising the outline. Since it was about combining bands with Revue, my initial idea was to formalize the competition between bands into stage Revue. Coincidentally, HHW also had "Stage Girl" Kaoru, so I added the concept of "band Revue" (although this part was ultimately not written out at all).

The original outline was divided into three sections:

The first part is about Hinasaki Tsuki getting involved with a girl band and solving her own problems;

The second part is about Hinasaki resolving the conflicts among Mygo members through Revue, which is mainly reflected in the second volume;

The third section is the Revue content that unfolds between the various girl bands after Mygo has gradually stabilized.

The idea was wonderful, but it was really difficult to write the stage atmosphere I imagined. Although I tried to emulate the "battle-based writing style" of the Qinglan stage play, the content I wrote always felt like it lacked something, so I had to give up in the end.

Regarding the question raised by some readers about "focusing on one-to-many" or "focusing on one-to-two", the original setting did indeed include four characters: Li Lingmeng, Qi Er, San Xi, Tao Zi, Xiao Deng, and Xiang Zi.

However, in a slice-of-life story, without a specific setting, building a harem is actually quite difficult. As an author who has only had a few romantic relationships, all of which ended up as brothers, I'm really not good at handling romance, especially love triangles.

There's an entire volume of side stories in the middle, which was originally intended to address this issue properly, but it veered off course as I wrote...

In short, I want to thank everyone for your support along the way. Although this finished product is not perfect, and can only be considered mediocre, your companionship has given me a lot of motivation.

Several more chapters of bonus content will be released gradually, and some "what if" scenarios may also be included. The new book has been published, and I hope everyone will graciously support it!

Finally, thank you again for your company! (bows)

Strange Side Stories and Epilogues: Side Story: The First Encounter That Moon and Momoko Were Unaware Of

The morning air still carried the chill of the night, and the sky outside was still dark, with faint light filtering into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Hinasaki gently rocked the two people on the bed with her little hands. At six years old, her face was full of childish innocence, and her bright eyes looked at her mothers on the bed.

"Mommy~" Yue called out softly again in a sweet, gentle voice, showing exceptional patience.

Hinasaki Miha and Furai Yuuri were still drowsy on the bed.

Yuri rubbed her eyes, forced them open, and glanced at the clock by the bedside—it clearly showed 5:30.

“…Yue,” Yuri’s voice was heavy with sleepiness. She gently stopped Yue from swaying, reached out and patted her head lightly, her tone gentle but clearly weary, “What’s wrong? It’s not even dawn yet…”
