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

When the performance begins: Chapter Seventy, Ai Yin: How did these two get together?

Rewind to half an hour earlier. Just as Lixi and the others were busy taking Lena to see the doctor, and Yue quietly slipped backstage, Kurosawa Momoko waved goodbye to the members of Seisho, saying that she had some things to do and had to leave first.

"Is Peach Jam going to see Yue again?"

Yuri Aoi teased Momoko, clearly indicating that the members of Seisho had gone from being shocked to indifferent to Momoko Kurosawa visiting Hinasaki every now and then, and now found it no longer surprising.

They even discussed when Yue and Taozi could officially announce their relationship, but they didn't come to a conclusion. Judging from recent trends, it seems unlikely that they will officially announce their relationship within the next year.

"Well... it's not that I'm going to find Yue, but it's very likely that I'll see Yue."

Momoko Kurosawa thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and replied to Aoi with a hint of uncertainty in her voice.

Why do you say it's possible?

Momoko's classmate Yukimi Sakura asked her in confusion. She had always been a fan of Momoko and Tsuki, and had always thought that Momoko would be able to win Tsuki back in less than a year. Unfortunately, it had been more than a year and there was still no possibility of it.

Another classmate, Kimura Sakuya, said that she had anticipated this situation long ago, and that the battle of wits between Momoko and Tsuki would likely continue for a long time.

"Well... there are many reasons for this. Anyway, if I see Yue, I will give her my regards."

Peach thought about it for a while and realized that she still didn't know how to tell everyone about this. She couldn't very well tell them that she was going to see Yue's current bandmates. If Yue and the others said they were going to see Su Shi after the performance, they might run into her.

The remaining people in the preparation room watched Taozi's departing figure, and their heads quickly huddled together.

Harumi Mana was the first to ask a question, inquiring about Konohana Sakuya, who was most skilled in matters of the heart. Konohana Sakuya was known for her ability to handle multiple women at once, having been caught in a power struggle between several girls.

"Sakuya, what do you think of Momoko's unusual behavior today?"

Sakuya Konohana tapped her chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "I don't know, meow. I'd rather go eat something right now; I'm a little hungry after the performance."

Amamiya Yu said to Mana with a speechless look, "Sakuya used to attract girls with her natural charm and unconscious gentleness. You can't expect her to analyze things on her own initiative."

"If you ask me, Taozi's move should be the 'feigned indifference' tactic from Chinese military strategy. She spread the word that Yue was going out with another girl today. If Yue got jealous and came over, then Taozi would have achieved her goal."

"Hmm... what if the moon doesn't come out?"

Yurisaki Aoi played the role of the straight man very well, thoughtfully following Amamiya Yu's line of questioning.

Amamiya Yu was very satisfied with Yurisaki Aoi's straight man act and continued speaking in accordance with her words.

“Aoi! That’s a good question! If Yue doesn’t come out, Momoko won’t actually lose anything. She can use this topic to test Yue’s feelings. If she cares a lot about Momoko going out with other girls, then it means that Yue still has feelings for Momoko.”

Aoi, of course, was also quick to apply what she learned to other situations. After Amamiya Yu's analysis, she understood what would happen if Yue didn't care: "If Yue doesn't care, then it means that the other person really considers her a good friend and has no romantic feelings for her. Momoko can then consider giving up."

"That's right! So this is Peach's final offensive against the moon. Their final outcome depends on how things develop tonight."

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

"Ah!"

Peach was walking down the street when she suddenly felt a strong itch in her nose and couldn't help but sneeze.

"It's already May... and the temperature isn't changing much. I don't think I've caught a cold."

Peach was unaware that her teammates were discussing behind her back when she and Yue would finally become a couple. She just thought that her sneezing was probably because she hadn't been taking care of her health lately and might have caught a cold.

After tidying herself up and making sure there were no problems, Momoko walked towards Nagasaki Motoyo, who had been waiting in the lobby.

"Su-se-chan, have you been waiting long enough?"

Momo greeted Su Shi in her usual sunny and cheerful tone, her voice light and clear, full of youthful energy as a high school girl. Anyone else who heard Momo at this moment would think that she was a lively, cute and energetic girl.

However, Su Shi, who had already witnessed Taozi's behind-the-scenes manipulator backstage, felt a slight displeasure upon hearing Taozi's voice now.

Perhaps it's because she usually presents herself as gentle and considerate, and now that she's met Momoko Kurosawa, the two share a similar personality, which might have caused a sense of rejection.

However, although Su Shi thought this way, she still had to put on a show. So she put on her mask and said to Momo in a gentle and considerate tone, "No, I just went for a walk around the neighborhood. I just came here to wait for Momo-senpai."

Just then, Aine and Riki followed the doctor's advice and went out to find a thermos and hot water for Renai.

"Hot water is easy to find, but Lixi, where are we going to find a bottle to hold the hot water for Lenai-chan?"

As Aine was pondering where to find a well-sealed container that wasn't too hot to hold hot water for Renai, Riki, who was walking ahead, opened the passageway door in front of her. Aine stopped as soon as she poked her head out, and bumped into Riki's back while she was thinking.

"Um... Lixi, why did you suddenly stop?"

Ai-yin complained subconsciously, but was immediately covered in the mouth by Riki.

"Waaah?"

Aine's eyes held a hint of doubt, as if she were questioning Riki. Riki simply put a finger to her lips, gesturing for Aine to be quiet. Then, she pointed outside, indicating for Aine to look.

Ai Yin immediately understood what Li Xi meant, and began to carefully keep quiet. She cautiously pushed open the door and peeked outside, and then saw Su Shi and Tao Zi pretending to communicate with each other. Moreover, not far from their door, she could even hear what they were saying.

"!!!"

Ai Yin's eyes widened immediately, but fortunately, Li hope had already prepared her mentally, which prevented her from shouting out directly.

She pulled her head back and gestured wildly to express herself to Lixi, but Lixi probably didn't understand what she was trying to say at all.

Li hope lowered her voice as much as possible and whispered in the other person's ear, "Ai Yin, go back and tell Yue that I'll watch over them here."

When the performance begins: Chapter Seventy-One: The Rules of the Revue Stage

Back to the present, Momoko and Su Shi had already walked quite a distance, so Yue and Li hope followed far behind.

"Senior Peach, are we heading to Seisho?"

Su Shi watched as Taozi led her outside and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, I've already figured out a way to get you into the school," Peach said smugly, nodding.

"Could I hear the specifics of the method?"

For some reason, although Peach had just demonstrated her powerful planning and scheming abilities, Su Shi asked with some suspicion when she heard that the other party had come up with a way to get her into Shengxiang in such a short time.

Peach said to Su Shi, "Well... schools usually have two or more sets of uniforms."

Su Shi was not stupid; after Tao Zi said that, how could she not understand what the other person meant?

She looked troubled and said, "Um...you mean I should wear your school uniform and sneak in?"

Su Shi's expression revealed unease and hesitation. Although Tao Zi's plan did have a possibility of success, the uncertainty of the plan was too great.

Lixi and Yue, who were following behind them not far away, exchanged a glance after hearing their conversation. Then Lixi whispered, "They're going to Shengxiang? Why?"

Her words were full of doubt. Lixi had no idea why she would run into the school so late at night. Did some students in their school sleep in the trees?

"I'm not really sure either..."

Yue frowned, pondering what could possibly require going to Seisho Music Academy at night.

"Wait a minute...it shouldn't be, right?"

Yue suddenly came up with something she absolutely had to do at Seisho, but later she found other ways to do it without being restricted by others. However, for Kurosawa Momoko, she probably really had to go to Seisho to do this.

Her tone was filled with hesitation, and her expression revealed a hint of doubt. If Taozi really wanted to go to the place she was thinking of, should Lixi go with her?

"I think I'm starting to get a clue... but I'm not entirely sure. Let's follow it from a distance and take a look first."

Li hope looked at the hesitant Yue, frowned, and asked, "Yue... do you already have some clues?"

After thinking for a moment, Yue finally nodded: "Hmm... I roughly know where Momoko and the others are going. I can inform Aine and the others to leave in a bit."

Looking at Yue's expression, Li hope didn't ask any further questions, simply saying, "Okay..."

Then he took out his phone and sent a text message to Ai-yin and the others, telling them to go home first.

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

On the other side, Aine had just brought Lena a hot water bottle and hot water. Lena's medicine injection was almost finished. During the injection process, Lena's face was always in pain.

But as the hot water bottle was placed on her body, the heat of the water slowly spread, and Renai's expression finally eased a little. Immediately afterwards, Shiina Riki's message appeared on her phone.

Ai Yin looked at the message Li hope had sent on her phone, somewhat confused: "Li hope wants us to go back first? Seriously, what are they trying to do?"

When Gao Songdeng saw the message from Li hope, he considered the issue from Li hope's perspective.

"Since Lixi said so... there must be a reason. Let's go back first."

Aiyin asked the little lamp:

"Isn't Xiaodeng even a little bit curious about where the four of them are going?"

Deng shook his head and said, "Lixi will definitely tell us."

"Xiao Deng is really confident in Li hope."

After hearing what Xiaodeng said, Aine stopped thinking about it. Just as Takamatsu said, if Riki and Yue wanted them to know about this, they would definitely tell them.

If she didn't want them to know, she probably wouldn't get an answer if she kept asking, since she didn't know where they were either.

--------

In fact, Yue and Lixi followed Su Shi and Taozi all the way to Xingguangliao, which is the student dormitory of Shengxiang Music Academy.

Watching Taozi skillfully bypass the dormitory supervisor and lead Su Shi inside, Yue, who wasn't familiar with this kind of business, could only wait outside with Li hope.

"Moon...can you tell me where they're going now?"

Lixi asked Yue, her tone revealing a hint of unease. The closer she got to Shengxiang, the stronger this unease became.

After thinking for a moment about how to phrase it, Yue said to Lixi, "Well... it's probably the underground theater where you and I will perform Revue. If there's anything that absolutely has to be done in Seisho, this is the only thing I can think of."

"Huh? Does Shengxiang have a stage like that? Can't that be set up anywhere? Why does it have to be in Shengxiang?"

Shiina Tatsuki's questions came at Hinasaki like a barrage of cannonballs.

In fact, Yue didn't know the answer to this question either, and could only guess roughly: "Well... didn't I tell you last time, Riki? Only the stage girls who go to the next stage can obtain this ability given by the giraffe. Momo probably doesn't have this ability yet?"

Yue's voice carried a hint of hesitation and uncertainty, since she currently had no other point of reference to compare with and could only deduce this conclusion from her own and Taozi's experiences.

Then, looking at the lights in the Starlight Dormitory in front of her, Shiina Ritsuki suddenly realized a problem: "Right... I just remembered a more serious problem... If Suze can get into Seisho by wearing Momoko's school uniform, what about the two of us? Yue, do you know any security guards who can let us in?"

Li Xi had been following Tao Zi and Su Shi, thinking about how not to be discovered, and hadn't thought about how to get into Sheng Xiang at all. Now that the two of them had gone into the dormitory, Li Xi finally had time to think about how they were going to get into Sheng Xiang.

"Oh... that's easy to solve. Once the theater starts a Revue, we can go there through another theater nearby. So we don't actually need to go to Seisho. We just need to start a Revue together nearby."

Yue tells Lixi about something she accidentally discovered during an audition: she broke the stage and ended up on the other two's Reuve stage.

Moreover, according to the giraffe, this rule actually has no distance limit and can span most of the earth.

The ghost story about Shengxiang Subway that Taozi told earlier probably originated from this.
