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

"you you……"

"Heh." Toyokawa Shoko sneered. "Looks like I guessed right?"

"How should I know! No matter what you say, I won't listen to you. Go ahead and kill me if you dare, you stinky Xiangzi! I knew I shouldn't have let Xiao Mu be friends with a scumbag like you!"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko neither denied nor echoed these slanderous words. She simply watched silently as the enraged Metis struggled in her hands, hurling vile insults at her.

"Tired of yelling?"

"..."

Seeing that Metis had already exhausted all the curses he could think of and was now at a loss for words, Toyokawa Shoko smiled and asked:

“You say I’m a bad person… I won’t argue, because I was indeed indecisive in the past, and Mu has indeed been hurt a lot because of my negligence.”

“I will not convince you to forgive me, because the past me is dead. That me was hypocritical and pretentious... I did all sorts of awful things but always got caught up in self-pity. That version of me was truly awful.”

"What nonsense are you spouting? Hehehe, Toyokawa Shoko, stop being so conceited. You think you can transform yourself? You're a menace your whole life!"

"...And what about Nanami Natsuki, whom you idolize? She sent you to impersonate my mother. Do you know how vicious that is?!"

At this point, Toyokawa Shoko, who had always maintained a cool and aloof demeanor, seemed to finally break down, her voice trembling slightly, "Do you understand how awful this joke is? Deceiving me with my deceased mother... Does she think I can forgive her for what she did? Does she even have any moral compass? Tell me!"

"That's not what Natsuki-neechan thinks!"

"……What did you say?"

"Natsuki-neechan... she just wanted you to stop living like a walking corpse, so she asked me to play your mother to comfort you. She said that as long as the lie isn't exposed, this is the best journey of solace. You don't understand at all! Natsuki-neechan is not as hypocritical as you!"

"She only did it because she couldn't stand seeing you looking so pathetic! It's not what you think at all!"

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly fell silent, and this silence seemed to last for a long time. During this time, Metis waited patiently for her to continue without interrupting.

Until Xiangzi suddenly let out a sneer in the dimly lit underground warehouse:

"Heh... So you admit now that you were sent by Nanami Natsuki, right? That makes things easier. Now I have a good reason to keep you locked up here and prevent you from causing trouble."

"Hey? Wait...wait! You stinky bastard! What are you doing?! Waaah..."

Shoko Toyokawa viciously pulled out some tape and re-attached the doll's mouth. Then, he wrapped the doll's body with tape several times, turning it into a half-zongzi (a type of Chinese rice dumpling). Finally, he placed it in a plastic box used to store hardware parts in the underground warehouse, closed the lid to ensure that Metis couldn't escape, and then dusted off his hands and left.

"Mu...you will forgive me, right? Although I did this to your other personality, didn't you also abandon her on your own initiative? And I will release her in a few days. After all, Metis did give me a lot of encouragement during those days."

"Regardless of the motive, this is helping me... So if you knew what I'm doing now, you probably wouldn't break off our friendship, right?"

"And you promised you you would help me, didn't you? I also promised you I would fulfill your wish, so... what I'm doing is necessary. It's not a question of right or wrong, but whether it's useful and whether it can help us realize our ideas."

Standing at the basement exit, Xiangzi talked to herself for a while, feeling the exhilaration she had just experienced when she "violently assaulted" Metis, while also imagining the fulfillment she would feel after her wish came true.

She even began to fantasize about the wonderful scene of her leading a group of bodyguards into Nanami Natsuki's house, capturing that little brat who had completely changed her and dragging her to this basement, and then brutally bullying her.

"Hehe...hehehe..."

Chapter 113 Yutenji Wakana is like a neutered cat (4600 words)

On Monday afternoon, an incident occurred in the teachers' office of Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy High School that made the homeroom teacher of the first-year Class B a little angry:

Four girls in their class said they needed to ask for leave at the same time.

"Hachiman, Shiina, Nanami, and... Mikado, are you saying that the four of you have something to take care of at the same time, so you can't attend any classes this afternoon?"

"Yes."

"I think you all know that the test is next week, right?"

"I know~"

The homeroom teacher, Sano Fuji, rubbed her temples. She looked at Nanami Natsuki, the twin-tailed girl in front of her who was speaking for the other girls and whose tone seemed rather flippant, and felt a sense of helplessness.

She knew about Nanami Natsuki's situation. She was an extremely special girl with no parents, yet she acted very normally in class. Not only did she not have the inferiority complex that many orphans have, but she also seemed... carefree.

"So what's the reason for taking leave?"

"Form a band."

"It's a band again..."

Sano Fuji suddenly slammed her fist on the table, seemingly losing control of her emotions. However, she genuinely couldn't understand why such a strange trend didn't exist in her school days, but instead emerged after she became a teacher.

A group of kids who should be studying aren't doing their studies properly; they're always thinking about wasting their youth by forming a band! And their school doesn't really care, saying that as long as the students don't do anything dangerous, they don't need to worry too much.

Is this still a school? Are these how students should behave?

"Phew..." Knowing that getting angry was useless, Sano Fuji let out a long sigh, showing a somewhat helpless yet resigned expression. "Oh well, since it's a band, there's nothing we can do about it, right? After all, it's illegal to prevent female high school students in Tokyo from forming bands; it's already written into the criminal code."

"...Huh?"

"Get out! Get out! Don't let me see you again. Go back to your pathetic instruments and sink into depravity! Smoking, tattoos, womanizing! Oh no... you're all women..."

"Teacher, aren't you a little..."

"What's wrong with me? Do you think it's easy for me?! Taking responsibility and managing you guys only leads to complaints, and now that I've allowed you to form a band, you're saying I'm not in charge anymore, huh?"

"No... Well, if there's nothing else, we'll be going now. Goodbye, teacher."

Seeing that the situation was not good, Nanami Natsuki quickly grabbed Riki, who was closest to her, and ran towards the door.

After leaving school, the four girls took the subway together towards Hatsuka's office. Although they were all in the same class, there was really no interaction between Hachiman Kairin and Hatsuka.

"Sanjiao, where are we going now?" Hailing asked proactively.

"Come to my office. I've already contacted an older gentleman who works there, and we've discussed many things. The main purpose today is for us to get to know each other better."

Because of a certain lazy twin-tailed girl, Mitsumi Hatsuka can now be considered the apparent leader of Ave Mujica.

Although she could sense the subtle hostility in Shiina Ritsuki's eyes when she looked at her, all Hatsuka cared about was whether she had done the task that Tsuki-neechan had given her.

Win-Wing Production was naturally no stranger to Hatsuka, and in the past two days, she had spent a lot of time helping Nanami Natsuki finalize the Mujica project with the company.

Because of her and Mr. Toyokawa Kiyokazu, the contract benefits are quite good, with a base salary and various commissions, including commercial performances, endorsements, variety show appearance fees, and sales of digital audio-visual products.

Of course, the proportion is indeed not very high, and the initial investment resources of the band are probably not much. Everything depends on the market response.

When Mikami Hatsuka and the others arrived at the door of a meeting room on the second floor of the firm, they saw Yutenji Wakana sitting inside, holding a mobile phone and seemingly taking pictures of something.

"Who gave you permission to film these?"

With a snap, Mikasa Haruhiko walked up to Yutenji Wakana with a respectable air and slammed the phone down in the other's hand.

"Live streaming?"

"N-no..."

Yutenji Wakana's gaze towards Misaki Hatsuka still held a hint of guilt, after all, she knew that this girl possessed supernatural abilities, but she simply couldn't tell outsiders about it.

"I just wanted to make a record... There really wasn't anything leaked!"

"Sister Chuhua, she already said she doesn't have any more, so please don't make things difficult for her~"

"……All right."

"call……"

Yutenji Wakana breathed a silent sigh of relief. She looked at the girl who had spoken up for her with some gratitude, but just one glance was enough to make her unable to look away.

If her amazement at seeing young Wakaba Mutsumi on a TV show was 90 points, then her amazement at seeing this exquisitely beautiful twin-tailed cutie was more than doubled, reaching 180 points, exceeding the maximum score of 80!

Looking at the other girls... well, one has long, straight black hair in a single ponytail and looks aloof, while another has shoulder-length hair and a punk-style look that's also quite cool. I just don't know which of these three is actually Oblivionis.

Regardless, this impeccable average appearance already meets the prerequisite for "we can become popular".

"Now that everyone is here, I'll be in charge of introducing each person's basic information."

As Misaki felt the playful gaze that Nanami Natsuki was giving her, her heart pounded wildly. At that moment, she felt both an overwhelming excitement and how exhilarating it was to play the role of a human with a voice in front of her master.

"This person, Yutenji Ruomai, whose online name is Miaomengqin, is a popular influencer who has uploaded many 'high-quality' videos to YouTube. Overall, her popularity still has a lot of room for improvement. Moreover, she has a strong talent as a drummer and is an indispensable member of the team."

"This is Hachiman Kairin, who currently plays bass in more than 30 bands and has reached a professional level in terms of ability."

"And this is Nanami Natsuki, my lord..."

"Lord what?"

“One of the main trainees.” Mitsumi Hatsuka, who had deliberately let slip for the thrill, quickly covered up her earlier slip of the tongue, “She has a strong musical talent, a musical foundation, is good at violin, can also play piano, is currently learning guitar, and will be in charge of rhythm guitar in the future.”

"I see..."

Yutenji Wakame glanced at the cute and quirky twin-tailed girl and naturally felt a sense of goodwill towards her. After all, she seemed like an easy-going and well-behaved girl, and as a member of the band who, like her, had some talent but still needed to work on her skills, she naturally felt a sense of recognition towards her.

"Finally, there's Shiina Tatsuki. She used to be the drummer and is now the band's keyboardist. She's also the band's main songwriter and has previously published many works online under the name Oblivionis."

Yutenji Wakana nodded; she was increasingly convinced that joining Mujica was the right choice.

Putting everything else aside, at least their first meeting was in a proper company, which is much better than the unrealistic promises that Nagasaki Motoyo, who hasn't even grown up yet, has been making for her.

What Crychic? When will that make-believe band finally bring her any profit?

"Ahem." Shiina Tatsuki cleared his throat and began to snatch the "microphone" from Hatsuka. "Next, I'll explain my ideas for the band's art design. Everyone is welcome to share their thoughts."

Actually, she didn't intentionally want to compete with Hatsuka, who seemed to be acting as a lackey for Tsuki, in front of Natsuki. After all, she had indeed prepared some materials beforehand, and the Ave Mujica project was indeed very important to her and Tsuki beside her.

Money... everything is about making money.

Li hope's original intention was actually very simple. Although forming a band and performing on stage was something she liked, if she had to commercialize it, it would definitely be to make money. But what was the purpose of making money?

Shiina Ritsuki glanced at the little girl next to him, who was shaking her head and swaying her two white-stockinged legs below, and a hint of infatuation appeared in her eyes.

—She really wanted to buy a big house so she could live with Nanami Natsuki.

Xiaoyue has no family, so she wants to become the other person's family. It's that simple.

"These are my ideas for the stage names of each of the five of us, as well as the reasons for designing the band name."

Lixi took out five pre-printed documents from the file bag and distributed them to everyone present, including herself. "The documents also include our band's unified musical style and the corresponding stage costume design drafts."

"Um~" Yutenji Wakana suddenly raised her hand, interrupting Riki, and picked up one of the sheets of paper from the document in front of her, showing it to Riki. "What's drawn on this? A mask?"

"Uh... that was a rejected draft."

"...Huh?"

"Anyway, we don't need to wear any masks. Just think of it as a nonsensical idea that came to me by someone who inspired me before."

While this statement may seem like a deliberate attempt to smear Toyokawa Shoko, Riki, having lost Shoko's talent and creative drive, does indeed have a different way of thinking now than Shoko.
