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

Putting aside the fact that Crychic no longer has any sense of team spirit in her eyes, let's talk about Toyokawa Shoko... As long as Shoko is there, she would never agree to go back.

Lixi was very happy, but she still agreed to Natsuki's request. While thinking about suitable candidates for the band's drummer, she talked to Nanami Natsuki about how if the band made money after its formation, she would definitely rent a house and live alone with Natsuki.

It's not that staying at home is uncomfortable, it's just that living under the same roof with the person they like makes it easier for them to do things that they can't let others see.

Just like now... Lixi is reluctant to leave again.

............

"Xiao Xiang, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"

"...a friend from my old band."

"Huh?"

This afternoon, Chu Hua had the opportunity to see Xiao Xiang again, which was a very happy thing for her. Although she had done many things that made her feel sorry for Xiao Xiang, Chu Hua felt that as long as she didn't expose them, Xiao Xiang wouldn't blame her.

Moreover, the matter of "betraying" Xiao Xiang in front of Sister Yue last time has already been explained clearly, and today's meeting can only be made possible on the premise that the misunderstanding has been cleared up.

However, Chu Hua felt that Xiao Xiang's behavior was a bit off today, and there was a feeling that... he wanted to say something to her, but he would hold back every time he was about to speak.

Why not say it?

Chu Hua had no idea that Xiang Zi had always been such an awkward person, and that Xiang Zi also hoped that Chu Hua could be like Nanami Natsuki, able to understand her thoughts simply by reading the air without her having to speak.

Unfortunately, not everyone is as adept at reading people as Nanami.

"Xiao Xiang... the band friend you mentioned, it wouldn't be named Nagasaki Motoyo, would it?"

"Huh? Chu Hua, you actually know Su Shi?"

"...Why her?"

"Why what?" Xiangzi didn't quite understand what Chuhua meant.

"What happened? Does she want you to come back and form a band?!"

"Hmm... Chuhua, do you think I should go back?"

Xiangzi did indeed leave to make a LINE call with Su Shi. She hesitated after seeing that the caller was Su Shi. However, just before meeting Chu Hua this afternoon, she also received a call from Nanami Natsuki.

The conversation made her very uncomfortable. The other person dominated the topic from beginning to end, and the content of their conversation revolved around the timid thoughts that Xiangzi was unwilling to admit.

Perhaps in order to slap Nanami Natsuki in the face and show her that she wasn't using the flimsy excuse of "protecting friends" to cover up the "fact" that she was afraid to contact those she had hurt, Shoko impulsively agreed to Nanami Natsuki's challenge.

According to Natsuki, Shoko first needs to let go of the idea of ​​running away and facing those who care about her again, and then try to rebuild the friendships she had made in the past.

But when that time comes, she will realize that... no matter what she does, she will never find someone who understands her better or can give her everything she wants, like Nanami Natsuki.

These words somewhat hurt Toyokawa Shoko's pride, and what happened last night had indeed made her a little stressed. She was unwilling to admit that she had now automatically built an invisible barrier between herself and everyone around her—except for Nanami.

So Xiangzi agreed to meet Chuhua, although she hesitated for a long time and was unable to say everything she wanted to say.

"Xiao Xiang, if you want to go back... of course I'll support you."

"Yeah......"

Shoko Toyokawa sighed. This wasn't the answer she wanted: it was just empty words like "I will support you," which threw the problem back at her.

Of course, Xiangzi also knew that her idea was wrong. Chuhua did not need to be able to say things that would satisfy all of her thoughts as soon as she spoke.

Having grown accustomed to her unique way of interacting with Nanami Natsuki, Shoko, who had begun to fall into a certain decadence, found it difficult to return to her former self.

"What are you thinking? Does Su Shi... really want you to go back?"

"Huh?"

"Ah...that's not what I meant." Afraid of hurting Xiangzi, Chu Hua once again failed to say something that would satisfy her. "Perhaps your band really can be reformed?"

"No...that's not how it is."

Uneasy... Confused... Why can't I just tell her the correct answer?

Why worry so much about what someone like her thinks? A villain like her who would subconsciously hurt others deserves to be treated like Nanami!

Why didn't you tell me, "You still have the nerve to go back? They'll never forgive you anyway?"

Yes, as long as she has such an answer... she won't have to face Su Shi anymore. Anyway, she was wrong, and her mistakes won't be forgiven... so she can think about the things that make her hesitate.

But Xiangzi couldn't run away, because she had made a promise to Nanami Natsuki. She wanted to prove that she could get along with others like a normal person, instead of just pitifully embracing Nanami Natsuki and becoming a slave girl who lived only for her.

"I've thought about it... I still want to see Su Shi."

"Eh? Xiao Xiang, are you leaving already...? But I have something to say..."

"What?"

"...No, it's nothing."

“…I’ve already paid the bill.” Xiangzi smiled, picked up his bag, and stood up. “Thank you, Chuhua. I feel much better after chatting with you for a while.”

It's not much better.

But saying this shouldn't put pressure on Chu Hua, right? Just like Chu Hua said before that she wouldn't feel "pressure".

"No...it's okay."

Toyokawa Shoko said goodbye and left, unaware of the frustrated look on Mikazuki Hatsuka's face after she left.

Her destination was CiRCLE, and she had already told Su Shi that she would be there beforehand. She also heard that Mu would be among the attendees.

The intention was quite obvious... Even without that phone call, Su Shi's thoughts could be seen at a glance.

Motoyo Nagasaki is that kind of person; she often expresses her thoughts very directly, but Shoko has never given much response.

However, Su Shi's excited tone when the call connected frightened her.

She felt as if she had become Su Shi's lifeline, but she no longer had the courage to casually say "Give me your life" as she used to.

Will agreeing to keep the appointment make Su Shi even happier and more excited? And is such a reaction a good thing or a bad thing?

Stepping into CiRCLE, the familiar reception area and layout were there, but the staff seemed to have changed, which was probably related to the opening of this RiNG branch.

Why choose here instead of RiNG, where Riki and Nanami work? The answer seems to lie in the riddle itself:

Su Shi simply didn't want to run into those two people.

"Xiao Xiang, over here!"

"Ah... Su Shi."

"The real Xiao Xiang is still the best..."

Nagasaki Motoyo's excessive enthusiasm made Metis, who was standing next to her, feel uncomfortable and kept cursing her in his heart as "Xiangzi's big simp".

Of course, Xiangzi herself didn't feel particularly good either, after all, they had pretended not to know each other at school just yesterday.

"Xiao Xiang..."

Su Shi talked about a lot of random things, but in the end she couldn't avoid her core topic, "I know you didn't really want to disband the band in the past, right? I know... you had some problems at home, I'm sorry... I can't help you much."

"And now you've lost your musical talent, right? But... but I..."

"No need to say anything more."

Xiangzi interrupted Su Shi's words. In her mind, she recalled every time Nagasaki Su Shi tried to regain the memories of the band members during that time. Although she could no longer fully understand that pain, the memories of feeling it were still there.

"Su Shi, I owe you an apology for what happened before."

"...Huh?"

"Although I can't write any songs now, and I don't have any creative inspiration in my head... I should still be able to come back and play the piano... So, if you want to reunite Crychic, I will agree."

"Xiao-Xiao Xiang... Is what you said true? Am I dreaming? Qi-Qi Hai... Are you lying to me again... Waaah... Please don't lie to me, please don't lie to me."

"...Su Shi?"

"..."

Nagasaki Motoyo wiped away her tears, and through the remaining glistening tears, she looked at the person who had finally said the words she most wanted to hear, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

Nanami Natsuki...you lost.

I can have what I want without your help, and I'm confident... I can bring the rest of us back together.

Only when everyone from the past comes together can we achieve true victory.

Moreover, Xiao Mu and Xiao Deng will definitely return together because of Xiang Zi's return, and Xiao Mu is right here, so surprised that she can't even speak, right?

All that's left is to find the little lamp, and then... wait?

Li hope? Wait... doesn't she still have to win Li hope back?

She suddenly had the illusion that she was robbing Peter to pay Paul, and she even heard a sinister laugh coming from some distant place.

Chapter 90 I'll Introduce You to a Guitar Teacher from England (5500 words)

Since Hanasaki River doesn't have classes on Saturdays, and RiNG has senior students Kasumi and Rinko helping out, Riki stayed at Natsuki's house for a while longer.

Of course, nothing improper happened.

On the contrary, Lixi was full of energy once he made up his mind to achieve his goal.

"You went back just to get your computer?"

"Can't I discuss things with you when editing videos here? After all, I'm starting to feel that the aesthetics of the music videos I made in the past were a bit strange."

Li hope had nothing to hide, since the two of them had already entered into an irreversible relationship. So she registered a video blogger account online and naturally revealed everything about the songs she had written during this time.

Li hope's vocal abilities aren't particularly outstanding, but original musicians aren't judged by their singing ability, but rather by their skills in composing, arranging, and writing lyrics.

Memories don't just disappear... Fortunately, this allowed Lixi to smoothly complete her previous work after turning on the computer.

"Are you uploading these... in an attempt to find like-minded friends?"

"Not only that, I also hope to be noticed by an agency..."

When Lixi was with Crychic, she had a relatively humble attitude and wanted to use the band as a starting point for her growth. Of course, she did feel some progress in herself.

Things are different now. Natsuki has removed the inferiority complex from her heart, leaving only her most fundamental love for music.

If possible... Lixi really wants to dedicate herself to this industry after graduating from university (if she can get into university). No matter how tough the industry is, she can accept it, as long as she can do what she wants to do and achieve the goals she wants to achieve.

"The firm... I can help with that."

Nanami Natsuki chimed in, but didn't elaborate on her intentions.

However, she believed that if it were Toyokawa Kiyotaka now, he would be very willing to help her with this favor, regardless of her false identity or the middle-aged man's inherent tendency to "meddle."
