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

"Ah... Aine's back. Today... um?"

Seeing her daughter looking preoccupied, and even skipping her meal to go upstairs, Ai-yin's mother couldn't help but call out from behind, "Ai-yin?"

"Mom, I'm so tired from practicing the piano today. I want to rest for a bit. I've already eaten out..."

"You silly child, you didn't even tell me beforehand."

Chihaya Aine felt a little ashamed for lying to her mother, but she breathed a sigh of relief as she closed the door. After all, she was still very guilty about what had happened, even though... it was just a misunderstanding and an accident that shouldn't have happened.

[Chihaya Aine: Satsuki, I'm home.]

As is Ai Yin’s usual practice, after leaving her friend’s house and returning home in the evening, she would send a message to the other party to avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

She quickly received Xiaoyue's reply, which was a series of emojis of a panda eating bamboo. Aiyin looked at the few sentences that followed, which were filled with a girl's self-blame, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.

I don't think anyone could resist such a cute little girl, right?

However, this friendship, which should have been beautiful and pure, was tainted by an accident. The unforgettable scene was deeply imprinted in Aine's mind, making her remember Xiaoyue's excessive behavior when she closed her eyes.

And... the tingling, numb sensation she felt in her body at that moment.

As Aine kept reminiscing, she unconsciously began to try it herself. She didn't know why she was doing this. Perhaps it was because she had been under a lot of pressure since returning home from England. At the same time, she was indeed curious about that kind of field she had never been familiar with, even though Aine knew what her behavior was defined by in the secular world.

"what……"

Once she recovered from the trembling, Ai Yin's cheeks flushed crimson. While inwardly cursing herself, she pulled a tissue from the coffee table and wiped away the filth that shouldn't have been there.

Feeling somewhat exhausted, the girl really wanted to go downstairs and ask her mother for something to eat, but after thinking about it, she decided she should stay in her room.

Fortunately, Ai Yin has a little habit of hoarding snacks. While opening the bag of potato chips, she took out her tablet to try and distract herself by watching some videos.

If you were to ask Ai Yin who the video blogger she watches the most is, she would definitely give two names: one is Miao Mengqin, and the other is the blogger whose online name is Oblivionis, but who is actually Xiaoyue's good friend named Shiina Tatsuki.

While Ai Yin initially followed Miao Meng Qin because of her beauty recommendation videos, to ask why it had to be this person...

This might also be due to a niche mentality.

The person she was following was a minor internet celebrity who wasn't very popular. She happened to really like the other person's video style. Later, she even learned that Miaomengqin had started learning electronic drums. Aiyin, who already loved music, liked this kind of blogger even more because it suited her taste.

But what if such an idol becomes incredibly famous one day? What if you, an ordinary person, no longer have the opportunity to interact with them privately?

In fact, this kind of thing has already happened before, right here with Miss Ob, or rather, it happened to Li Xi.

From being completely unknown at the beginning, Oblivionis has now become a highly popular original music blogger. Although Ms. Ob's creative speed has slowed down a lot during this period, it has not slowed down her rise to fame.

At that time, Aine felt... indeed, those who are meant to shine will shine, and indeed, her judgment was absolutely correct.

"Huh? This new video... was posted 10 minutes ago? The title... New song release postponed? Soon to form a commercial band and debut?!"

Chihaya Aine didn't even bother chewing the potato chips in her mouth. She wiped her greasy fingers with a wet wipe and then excitedly clicked on the video.

The video is very simple. There is no music video, no face shown, just a black screen background. However, this time, Ms. Ob speaks in her natural voice for the first time.

It's obvious that this is Shiina Tatsuki's voice.

Although Chihaya Aine and Ritsuki never had a face-to-face conversation offline, she was still listening to them talk to Satsuki. Besides, this was something that just happened today, so how could she forget it so quickly?

"So... this band will finalize their debut plans this month? What about Xiaoyue? Will Xiaoyue also join this band?"

"Waaah... I suddenly feel like my child has grown up, even though I, this terrible guitarist, haven't been of much help at all..."

After silently complaining for a while, Ai Yin watched the video to the very end, and she was able to see the band members' information that she could reveal in advance.

"Keyboardist Shiina Tatsuki, guitarist Nanami Natsuki, guitarist and vocalist Misumi Hatsuka... Wait, Hatsuka?!"

That wasn't all, because two more names appeared right after, one of which Aine recognized: "Bassist Hachiman Kairin, drummer Yutenji Wakanagi... Wait, Yutenji... Isn't that Nyanmu-chan?!"

Aine had only just learned what Miaomengqin's real name was. After all, the two had had some real-life contact, although they hadn't had the chance to meet one-on-one... but at least Aine had learned the basic information such as the other person's real name.

Aine never expected that she would see four familiar names in Oblivionis' band project announcement video.

The only one she didn't remember much about was the bassist, Hachiman Kairin...

It's like destiny! Chihaya Aine is destined to be a loyal fan of this unnamed new band, and now... she has to tell others about it.

Well, let's make Nagasaki Motoyo our first target. She's been taking care of me a lot these past few days.

…………

"Natsuki Nanami!!!"

After watching the video that Aine forwarded to her, Nagasaki Motoyo inevitably went berserk.

Although she hadn't intended to pay any attention to the guitarist who backed out at the last minute, partly because the drummer's situation had stalled and she felt that this was probably related to Aine's unreliability; and partly, well, needless to say... whether Aine practiced or not really had little to do with her.

The reason she spends every day in the recording studio working on Ai Yin is partly to vent her emotions.

After the incident, Su Shi realized that her behavior was excessive. Her dissatisfaction with Aine was actually without any reason. Ultimately, it was because of her rejection of outsiders and her resistance to Aine's identity as Nanami Natsuki's friend.

That's why Su Shi felt a little relieved when she discovered Aine had escaped today.

She even hoped that Aine could leave forever and never come back, so that at least she wouldn't have to harden her heart and tell her to leave.

However, judging from today's situation, and the way the other person forwarded the video to her late at night and told her to watch it quickly, Nagasaki Motoyo felt that this girl didn't take her passive-aggressive behavior seriously at all...

Should we say that Chihaya Aine has a strong heart? Or should we say that this idiot didn't know when to cut her losses?

But when Su Shi actually clicked on the video, she realized that the person who sent her the link wasn't just trying to share an interesting video; it was clearly... a deliberate act of revenge!

The voice at the very beginning of the video completely baffled Nagasaki Motoyo.

Who else could it be but Shiina Tatsuki? She still remembered that bastard's voice, even though they hadn't had any contact or communication for several days.

Of course, when Nagasaki Motoyo learned that Shiina Tatsuki was planning to create a new band, she was furious, feeling that Tatsuki was using other people's talents to profit for himself.

On the other hand, she also felt that this was pretty good, since this way Lixi would really not bother their current band anymore.

When it's time to make a clean break... that's Su Shi's current opinion of Li hope, the former band member.

But after Su Shi frowned as she read through Shiina Riki's long description of the band's style, and then sneered several times while constantly complaining that Riki was starting to become quite chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur), she discovered that the last part of the video was actually an introduction to the band's existing members.

"Should I say this is the only natural outcome...? I even felt a sense of redemption when I saw the names Shiina Tatsuki, Nanami Natsuki, and Yutenji Wakana appear together?!"

Having grown accustomed to Nanami Natsuki's various outrageous and disruptive behaviors, Nagasaki Motoyo was surprisingly not as angry as she had been at first when she discovered that the person who had stolen the drummer she had her eye on was Nanami Natsuki.

She even felt that this was the right thing to do, the only reasonable thing to do, and she was even smug about herself for guessing the result correctly.

But then, Nagasaki Motoyo fell into deep thought.

Was Chihaya Aine's reason for sending her this video to get revenge on her, or was it simply to convey information about Yutenji Wakana's whereabouts? That's actually not important anymore.

Even Su Shi thought she was overthinking it; Aine probably just wanted to tell her that the drummer thing was completely off, and that she didn't mean anything else.

Moreover, the most important thing right now is not Aine, but how she should keep this news from the other members of the band.

Xiaodeng goes without saying. Although Su Shi couldn't understand why Li hope had become like this, even disregarding Xiaodeng, the only person she used to acknowledge, even though she felt that Xiaodeng didn't really value Li Xi that much.

But that's just Xiaodeng's personality. On the surface, she may not seem to care about many things, but in reality, she keeps what she cares about to herself and doesn't let others know.

There's absolutely no benefit in telling Xiaodeng about Lixi's complete betrayal.

Similarly, for Xiao Xiang and Xiao Mu, who still hope that Li Xi will return, this news is also very difficult for them to accept.

Although Nagasaki Motoyo really wanted to tell them the truth so that they would give up their illusions, things always take time to develop.

She felt that Li hope's situation was because she was overwhelmed by too many negative emotions at once, without being given a buffer, which is why she fell into Nanami Natsuki's trap.

She needs to take it slow, and that applies to Xiao Xiang, Xiao Mu, and Xiao Deng...

However, there is indeed one thing that needs to be pushed forward, and that is a live performance that can give everyone confidence.

Of course, the most important thing is to restore Xiao Xiang's confidence in creating music and to help Xiao Deng, who has been afraid of the stage for a long time, rediscover his passion for facing the stage.

As for Aine... I guess she'll be considered successful if she doesn't embarrass herself.

Although that was the plan, for Su Shi, whether Mutsu could attend and see the effect of the live performance was also a very important part.

However, when Nagasaki Motoyo arrived at school on Saturday morning to talk to Mutsu about it, she was somewhat surprised to find that Mutsu's seat was vacant.

Su Shi scrolled through the messages on her phone but couldn't find any messages from Xiao Mu. She also tried to send a message to Xiao Mu at this time to inquire about her situation.

"No reply...?"

Nagasaki Suze frowned. She had a feeling that something was wrong. This feeling had been there ever since she watched the video posted by Lixi last night. Although she couldn't sleep at that time because she was more upset about it, this sudden change made Suze involuntarily connect the two things.

"Xiao Xiang, do you know where Xiao Mu went today?"

When the last class of the morning ended, it basically meant that the week had come to a short break. Nagasaki Motoyo stopped at the door of Toyokawa Shoko's classroom. As soon as she saw the other party come out, she went up to her and asked impatiently.

"Huh?" Xiangzi's expression was slightly unnatural. "I...I don't know, she didn't come to school today?"

"Yes, she didn't reply to my messages, and no one answered my calls."

“Is, is that so…”

Toyokawa Shoko's expression turned even more unpleasant, but Su Shi simply assumed she was worried about her good friend and didn't connect it to anything else.

"Su Shi."

"Ok?"

"I...I have something to do today."

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned, her mouth slightly open, then slowly closed again.

She really wanted to ask something, but the feeling of things slipping out of her control frightened her, fearing that any word she uttered would push the people around her away.

"Su Shi, I'm going to find Nanami Natsuki."

"Huh?"

Toyokawa Shoko's candor surprised Su Shi, but also pleased her.

However, after realizing what Xiangzi was talking about, Nagasaki Motoyo's face showed worry again. After all, she knew very well that anyone who got involved with Nanami Natsuki would not have a good outcome.

"...Xiao Xiang, can you tell me why you went to find her?"

"Because... Xiao Mu should be with her."

"Huh? You mean..."

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes darted around, like a child who had made a mistake. "Su-se, I've decided to admit defeat..."

"No, Xiao Xiang?"

"I can't fight her... I really have no other choice. This is the only solution I can think of right now. I can only pretend to give in to her for now. At least this way I can ensure that our lives won't be disrupted by her anymore."
