People are in Mygo, and I can write their personalities.

Seeing the threatening look in Shiina Ritsuki's eyes, Nanami Natsuki felt a little awkward. She didn't know what Ritsuki would think if he knew that she had recently gotten a dog.

However, Nanami Natsuki did want to find out what Suze and the others were up to through Aine, as the information obtained from Hatsuka was ultimately limited.

Although Aine-chan may not be able to evoke many emotional responses... ultimately, her personality is genuinely wonderful. Chatting with such a naive and sweet girl is easy and enjoyable, and you might even find yourself fooling her without her even realizing it.

Nanami Natsuki went backstage to change her clothes, after all, she didn't want customers to come and ask her to work while she was chatting with the beautiful girl.

Moreover, she was well aware of the charm of her face. Many boys and girls preferred to come to a harmless little girl like herself rather than ask the wary Li Xi to help them order.

"Aiyin-chan, how about we sit down and have a chat? I'm actually quite curious about how your band is doing these days."

"Ah...it's nothing really."

Aine didn't really want to talk about this topic, not only because these things would only make Xiaoyue feel sad, but also because she felt that her performance was indeed not up to par, and talking about it might expose her true level in the end.

Although Xiaoyue in reality doesn't know her identity, Aine is unwilling to let Xiaoyue's illusions about her master be shattered. What if? What if one day she can't help but reveal her true identity?

"I see. Su Shi and the others are looking for a new drummer, but Xiangzi isn't really in favor. Instead, she hopes to take Li hope away from me..."

"Yes, she's really shameless."

"..."

"But Xiaoyue, don't worry. I believe that Lixi is willing to help you because she knows what is right and what is wrong. She chose to stand firmly on your side precisely because she doesn't want to be with someone with bad intentions, right?"

"That's so true! Aine, you also think they're bad, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Speaking of which, Aine-chan, you remind me a lot of my teacher. You are both so gentle, kind, and good-tempered. Every time I ask her a question, she is puzzled as to why I can ask such basic questions, but in the end she will still patiently answer my questions."

"Huh? Is that so..."

Chihaya Aine suddenly felt her breath catch in her throat, and her face was filled with unease.

When did she ever wonder why Xiaoyue's questions were so basic and why she hadn't answered them for so long?

Um... she remembered. It seemed that Ai Yin herself didn't know the answers to those questions, so in order not to embarrass herself in front of her apprentice, she specifically searched for a lot of information online and confirmed it before replying to Xiao Yue, who had been waiting for a long time.

"Speaking of which, Aine-chan transferred to Haneoka, right? Where did Aine-chan go to school before?"

"This, this..."

Chapter 107 What is the Holy Love Sound? *shrug* (4500 words)

"Xiao Mu..."

The fact that a "soul" named Metis is hidden inside a doll is something that would send chills down anyone's spine.

However, in this eerie room, compared to Wakaba Mutsu, who was completely absorbed in her performance, the eeriness of this doll that hopped towards the only girl in the room with its short legs, only to be completely ignored by her, was far less than that of the former.

"Xiao Mu, can you hear me?"

Seeing that Xiao Mu was ignoring her, Metis began to panic. This time, she chose to stand in front of Ruoye Mu and waved her two little arms, trying to get the girl's attention.

"...Miss, could you please be quiet?"

Finally, Wakaba Mutsumi, who was obsessed with her own world, showed a slightly different reaction. However, what made Metis feel very unfamiliar was that she didn't even know who the personality that made the voice was imitating.

However, she soon realized who the personality speaking to her at that moment resembled most.

"Of course I can hear what you're saying, but can't you see I'm busy? Pretend you don't see me, so Xiao Mu can fully immerse herself in the beautiful memories of the past. Isn't that what you want most?"

This somewhat forceful way of speaking, and the arrogant way he stands with his hands on his hips, isn't this exactly the same as Master Nanami?

No... I can't say it's particularly similar. It's more like she's deliberately imitating Natsuki's speaking style, but she only learned the form but not the spirit.

"Where did you hide Xiao Mu?"

"You're really smart, unlike that idiot Xiangzi, who thought there were really five of us... But, isn't Xiao Mu you're talking about you? What do you mean, 'where did I hide her?'"

"what?"

Metis felt a sense of bewilderment and fear. She stared at the girl in front of her in disbelief, not knowing what to say for a moment.

What do you mean by "Xiao Mu is me"? Does that mean... I'm not Metis at all?

As Metis retreated and tried to turn and run away, she was grabbed by the giant Wakaba Mutsu. The doll girl struggled in the air with her short legs, and when she was forced to turn around, all she could see was Wakaba Mutsu's face with a ghostly smile.

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Xiao Mu, don't be too surprised... This is actually a deal we made with Natsuki-nee before, have you forgotten it?"

"what?"

Memories kept flashing through her mind. The doll girl, who didn't know who she was, finally realized her true identity and truly entered into her first-person perspective, seeing herself as a cowardly, hesitant, yet yearning for an unreal future, pleading with Nanami Natsuki.

'I want Crychic, and everyone else... to have never had any conflicts, to... to have those things never happened, is that okay?'

But after she brought up this idea, the doll that belonged to Xiang's mother and which she had been holding in her arms suddenly made a sound of dissatisfaction:

'No! Xiao Mu, you can't fantasize about things that can't happen! You really need to wake up. As long as that bastard Xiangzi is still around, you can never be happy!'

What did I say back then?

It seems she had an argument with Metis, who was inside the doll's body, and in the end, Natsuki-nee-san hit upon her true feelings:

"Xiao Mu, for you, getting back together with Crychic is one thing, but more importantly, you want to use this to give Xiao Xiang some strength, right? After all, in your eyes, it was Crychic who truly helped Xiao Xiang overcome the trauma of losing his mother, so facing Xiao Xiang, who also doesn't know how to help, you can only think of using the same method."

'I...I...'

'Xiao Mu, you are such a kind and lovely child. Unlike me, you always enjoy seeing you cry. You would rather sacrifice the chance to fulfill your own wishes than not help Xiao Xiang get through this.'

However, this method doesn't work every time. Actually, I have an even better solution, one that can empower Xiaoxiang, allowing you to stay by her side, be held by her as she falls asleep, and witness her encouraging you, making changes for you, and ultimately all her efforts to help you smile again.

'Huh?'

She remembered that it was a question that she and Metis uttered at the same time.

After some explanation, they understood what Natsuki's plan was:

This means sending Xiao Mu, who is concerned about Xiang's situation, to Xiang's side to play the role of Xiang's mother, and temporarily giving her the identity of Metis. In this way, she can play the role of Xiang's mother standing by Xiang's side, while also believing that she is Xiao Mu's savior and standing on Xiao Mu's side.

As for Metis, who is good at imitation and performance, she is burdened with the responsibility of performing a one-woman show, waiting for Xiangzi to notice her strangeness and then be unable to help but investigate, or go directly to question Sister Natsuki.

She would use her superb acting skills to imitate everyone she saw, and she would make Xiangzi believe that Ruoye Mutsu was now sick and needed someone who truly cared about her to help her.

"You see, right, Mu? Toyokawa Shoko is an incurable idiot. She's the kind of person who talks a good game, but when things get beyond her expectations, she just can't help but run away."

"No...that's not it...you scared her."

"Weren't you scared?"

"..."

Ruo Ye Mu felt that she was in a strange mood. Even though she had regained her true identity, the absurd things she had done in the past were still clearly in her memory.

Was that really something she did? This made Wakaba Mutsu feel as if she were in another world.

"Why……"

"what?"

"Why did I agree to the deal you and Natsuki-nee proposed back then? I... I can't remember what I was thinking at the time."

"..."

Metis, holding the doll, found an open space to sit down, his eyes filled with pity for the doll. "Xiao Mu, you're such an idiot."

"Huh?"

“You said back then…you didn’t want me to be locked inside this doll’s body because I had always been locked in Xiao Mu’s consciousness world and felt very lonely and afraid; you also said that if I were to complete such a task, I might not be able to help Xiangzi so sincerely.”

"You're always like this, always wanting to be the one to sacrifice yourself. Do you think I'd be grateful to someone who doesn't know how to cherish themselves? And... do you think Xiangzi would shed a tear for you? She wouldn't!!!"

“Metis…”

"Alright, now that you know all this, I'm going to find Natsuki-neechan now!"

"Huh? W-why..."

"Because Natsuki-neechan is the most capable and intelligent person in the world, she had already anticipated that things might turn out this way, so she told me in advance that if it came to this, I should contact her and she would help us solve everything."

"..."

…………

Inside RING LIVE House, Nanami Natsuki took out her phone and glanced at the message she had suddenly received from Wakaba Mutsuki. She raised an eyebrow slightly, replied with an instruction to stay put, and then turned off her phone.

Hmph... Looks like tonight's going to be a good show.

Of course, Nanami Natsuki hadn't forgotten her irrepressible desire to see the pink-haired girl sweating profusely in front of her, eventually becoming her plaything.

“I didn’t study in Tokyo before… so you probably don’t know which school I went to.”

"Huh? Is it a school abroad?"

"what?!"

Seeing the pink-haired girl so excited that she was about to stand up, Nanami Natsuki's inner voice was covering her mouth and letting out an annoying "pfft pfft pfft" laugh.

"Oh no... I mean, Xiaoyue, how did you know I've been abroad? Honestly... how could I possibly..."

"Master?"

"..."

"Is it really you, Master..."

"no……"

"That's it."

"It's really not..."

"I won't listen, I won't listen, you are."

"..." Ai Yin looked utterly devastated. She pouted, looking aggrieved, and said defiantly, "Why do you think I'm your master... No, I didn't even know you had a master, okay?"

"Because, Aine-chan is just like my master, someone I feel I can trust and rely on."

"...Huh?"

Sure enough, that pink-haired girl, she can't help but shine when given a little sunshine, she's so easy to understand.

"In my heart, my teacher may not be a perfect person, but she must be the best teacher in the world, because she is willing to patiently guide me in playing the guitar even though we are not related, and she is also willing to listen to my rambling from time to time."

"Even when I first learned about your existence as her friend through Lixi, I was actually a little uncomfortable because I was afraid... afraid that Lixi would no longer need me."
