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

For the first time, Nagasaki Motoyo felt such disgust for herself. She actually chose to threaten Lixi in front of Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu in order to salvage her dream, which was on the verge of collapse.

What she didn't expect was that Xiao Mu spoke up before Li hope could say anything:

"But I've already seen it..."

"...Xiao Mu, what did you just say?"

Metis glanced at her most trusted guide, Nanami Natsuki, and seeing that the latter didn't intend to stop her but instead lip-read her not to reveal the details, she confidently mumbled:

“Lixi did what she wanted to do, and Xiang didn’t refuse, so… I support Xiang’s decision.”

"Xiao Mu, do you even know what you're saying?!"

Is this still the Xiao Mu she knows? Why can she say such cruel things so easily?

……

No... perhaps she has been deceiving herself all along. In fact, Xiao Mu has always been like this. She rarely has her own ideas. Apart from always listening to Xiao Xiang, the only thing she ever said that surprised her was, "I have never felt happy playing in a band."

So that's why Xiao Mu didn't object when Xiao Xiang decided to leave the band, neither this time nor the last.

Because she felt unhappy playing the Haruhi Shadow, Xiaomu decisively rejected her suggestion to resolve the conflict through music.

And what about Lixi? Ha... that guy's already crashed.

What are all these?

Is this the scene she longed for? Is it really that difficult for her to just rediscover the happiness of the past with everyone?

"Su Shi, I'm sorry, I just..."

"No need to say anything, Xiao Xiang."

With slightly red eyes, Nagasaki Motoyo forced a smile as she looked at Sho, who was still comforting her. Hmm... perhaps that's why she could still smile.

She will try her best to help and protect Xiao Xiang... If doing so can prevent Xiao Xiang from discovering Li Xi's secret, if it can put everyone at ease, then she...

So be it.

"That's enough, Xiao Xiang. I'll help you rediscover your talent." With that, Nagasaki Motoyo reached out and pinched Li Xi's waist, who was sitting next to her. "Let's not discuss the band reformation for now. Can we pretend that none of this ever happened until things are resolved?"

"Su Shi, you..."

"Lixi, don't make me hate you!!!"

Upon hearing Li Xi's voice, Su Shi couldn't help but let out an angry voice, "Don't explain anything anymore. Some things are better left unsaid... At least until everything is resolved, let time stand still at this moment."

"Can we just consider this a pause button being pressed on Crychic's restructuring plan?"

"……I see."

"Xiao Xiang, Xiao Mu... what about you?"

Nanami Natsuki naturally agreed with a smile, after all, she didn't really want to form a band with these amazing people, the fact that he was a guitarist with a split personality was really making her lose her composure.

She feared that one day, this pure and beautiful young girl, full of truth, goodness, and beauty, would be corrupted by these lunatics.

Of course, Metis had even less to say, since the master had already spoken, what could she, as an apprentice, possibly say?

One by one, the four members of Crychic left RiNG. Perhaps apart from Metis and Nanami Natsuki, who left together, the remaining two will not be able to sleep well tonight.

But what does this have to do with Nanami and her apprentice? At least when Nanami Natsuki looked at the three-year-old Metis who wouldn't let go of her arm and kept saying "Master, you're amazing!", her vanity was greatly satisfied.

"Master... could you teach me how to make Xiao Mu's wish come true, and also how to prevent myself from being trapped in the world of consciousness?"

Metis clung tightly to Nanami Natsuki's arm, refusing to let go. There was one thing she felt Xiao Mu was right about: she was indeed very greedy... She no longer wanted to go back to that dark and gloomy place; she wanted to stay by the master's side and learn from him as much as she could now.

How profound must one's abilities be to break down Xiangzi's defenses, turn the hot-tempered Lixi into an obedient girl, and even fool the idiot Su Shi into being completely fooled?

But she didn't want to hurt Xiao Mu's feelings. She wanted to help Xiao Mu fulfill her wish. Although she disliked Xiangzi, she couldn't bear to refuse Xiao Mu's request.

"What are your wishes, Xiao Mu? Tell me."

"She wanted Crychic to never disband, and she also wanted Xiangzi to regain her mother's love and gain the courage and determination to live from her mother."

Wow... That's outrageous!

However, after thinking about it, Nanami Natsuki actually came up with a wicked idea.

"Sure, Master can help you fulfill this wish, through the Holy Grail."

"What is the Holy Grail..." Metis didn't understand the profound term her master was using, but she still asked with some uncertainty, "Master, can you really do it? Our wishes..."

"Can you question the master? Don't make him laugh! By the way, Xiao Mo, don't you really like acting?"

"Ah."

"Then how about you play Xiaoxiang's mother?"

"Eh? But... isn't this a bit inappropriate, Master?"

"How dare you speak to a master like that? Would a master harm you?" Nanami Natsuki slapped Metis on the head in dissatisfaction. "We're doing a good deed. After all, the dead can't be brought back to life, but Xiao Xiang's mother can indeed help Xiao Xiang recover from despair."

"As long as you don't mess up your performance, as long as you act perfectly until you say you need to go back to where the dead belong, then Xiao Xiang will have absolutely no chance to discover the truth."

"That way, she will only receive love and hope from the person she loves most, and there will be no possibility of her getting hurt. Isn't that better?"

"So that's how it is... Master, you are so kind. Su Shi and Xiangzi, those two idiots, slandered you like that, they are so despicable!"

"It's alright. Just do good deeds and don't worry about the future. This is the path I chose myself. What does it matter if there are no flowers or applause?"

While Nanami Natsuki was indulging in self-pity in front of Xiao Mo, she discovered that she had received a message on her phone from Nagasaki Motoyo.

Of course, this is the account that belongs to Nanami Natsuki. It seems that this account has been blocked by Su Shi several times. I wonder what the other party wants to say to her this time.

Hmm... it seems like nothing was said, because the phone only displayed some emojis, without any text.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: [Disdain][Disdain][Disdain][Disdain][Disdain]]

[Nagasaki Motoyo: [Bleeding Knife][Bomb][Bleeding Knife][Bomb][Bleeding Knife][Bomb]]

What the hell? Has this woman gone mad?

Completely bewildered, Nanami Natsuki didn't type anything, but instead sent back a few emojis:

[Natsuki Nanami: [laughing and crying][finger][clown]]

They replied very quickly.

[Nagasaki Motoyo: [Red Warm][Red Warm][Red Warm][Red Warm][Red Warm][Red Warm]]

Chapter 81 You scumbag woman, you actually said you're tired of me? (6500 words)

"Lixi, shall we... talk?"

"……Um."

Shiina Maki, who was outside, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her younger sister did not object to her request, otherwise she would not know what to do.

As the older sister, she is indeed not very responsible. She was busy with the band and clubs before, and now she is busy with her studies and future. She rarely has time to pay attention to the problems that are happening to her younger sister.

However, her younger sister's behavior has become too obvious lately, and both she and her parents have noticed something amiss. After some discussion, Maki decided to test her sister's thoughts first.

After all, Lixi is a bit sensitive. If the whole family tells her that her mood has been off lately, Lixi might be very resistant to communicating.

Pushing open the door, Maki entered her sister's room. She saw her sister sitting at her desk with several books on composition and arrangement next to her arm, some of which she had borrowed from her.

Are you writing a new song?

"Ah."

Can I take a look?

"……it is good."

Lixi stepped aside and showed the contents of the computer to her sister.

The song was naturally "KiLLKiSS". Although the way it was created was a bit quirky, she was quite satisfied with the content of the song. So, after today's farce, Lixi immediately transferred the song's content from her head to her computer.

To be honest, she had originally planned to borrow money from Su Shi today, but since Su Shi had already revealed the secret she had been hiding, how could she possibly ask Su Shi for money now?

It seems I'll have to postpone learning the electronic keyboard for a while.

"...That's great! Lixi, you've improved so quickly?"

"Is that so?"

Lixi felt much better after receiving her sister's approval. However, her good mood was like a brief shower, coming and going quickly. After realizing that this honor shouldn't belong to her, Lixi immediately became somewhat dejected.

"Lixi, is something on your mind? Can you tell your sister about it?"

"I……"

How could she bring it up? Should she say that her talent was stolen from someone else, or that she was composing music while thinking about things she shouldn't have been thinking about?

But she really needs an outlet for her emotions right now. If it's not Nanami Natsuki, then maybe it's only her closest family members.

"Sister, I did something very bad."

"Ok?"

“I…” Li hope was still timid, so she ultimately couldn’t tell the truth. “If I said that I’ve written a lot of songs recently, but none of them are at my level, would you look down on me?”

"You mean...you plagiarized someone else's work?"

Maki's expression immediately turned serious, after all, plagiarizing other people's work is a very serious matter.

"I don't know if this counts as plagiarism... In any case, I did create based on other people's inspiration and talent."

"Hey...you mean this? Isn't that normal?"

Maki breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her overly awkward younger sister with a somewhat amused expression. "Do you think I write songs entirely on my own? You're too presumptuous, my little sister... Music creation isn't something you can just do well on a whim. Listening to other people's songs, discussing with friends, and even asking friends for advice are all things you have to do."

"Inspiration can run dry at times. You can't guarantee that you'll be at your best every moment. Even a genius only has the ability to discover more inspiration and transform it into a good work. It doesn't mean that... geniuses never experience a lack of inspiration."

"I……"

That's not what she wanted to say... but seeing her sister talking so eloquently, Lixi didn't want to interrupt.

"Lixi, you need to believe in yourself, but also give yourself a chance to breathe."

"what?"

"Haven't you noticed? Your emotional state these past few days has been very strange... It seems like you've been provoked by someone and want to create a lot of works in a short period of time. But you need to know that creation is something that can't be rushed. If you're only thinking about pursuing speed and quantity, sooner or later you'll hate the act of creation itself."

"Is that so?" Lixi hesitated, she did have a vague feeling about it.
