At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

Like a witch cat that walks at night.

Her hairstyle was long, flowing black hair, silky smooth, reaching her waist.

Her fingers were pale and slender, like the knuckles of a vampire, and could span the entire 10 degrees.

She has a tall and slender figure and a unique temperament. Under the influence of her childhood training, she exudes an air of mystery that makes it impossible to look away once you see her.

Most importantly, she is incredibly charming when she performs in an evening gown.

But it was this little girl,

However, he almost committed suicide by jumping into the lake during his last "mental breakdown".

Wu You's hobby is sitting by the lake and watching the stars, and this activity only happens late at night.

When asked why she was so persistent about this, she would always look confused, think for a long time, and finally say, "I can't find the star I want anymore."

This kind of explanation once gave Hayasaka a real headache.

Bringing her into the team wasn't Hayasaka's own doing.

Instead, Ms. Su spoke to her personally, exchanging a few words with her.

"Youyou, does playing music make you unhappy?"

"Yes."

"So, is it okay to give up performing?"

"No. It's okay when life ends."

"Really? Is there someone you absolutely must surpass?"

"There is one, but I can't win."

Who is it?

"The direct descendant of the Mu family, the true form of Mosse, the strongest person of the new generation, the piano jinchūriki, I am second in the World Masters Tournament, she is first."

-

"Cheng?"

"Ah."

“Youyou, you need to understand that child never shows her face in public and has only participated in one competition. In other words, you only lost to her once, and one time doesn’t mean anything.”

"Yes, she won the championship in just one competition."

No one is immune to failure.

"I just don't want to lose to her."

"... "

-

"Then come to my side. I'll make the arrangements for you. As long as you do as I say, I guarantee that you can defeat her in your lifetime through the power of the team. After all, in a one-on-one situation, you are indeed a little too late."

"."

-

……

There are many mysterious rumors surrounding Tianhai City, a fact that the experienced Hayasaka Mizuki is well aware of.

“People are different, Youyou. Since Ms. Su has made a promise to you, you should believe her words. As far as I know, none of the promises she has made over the years have been unfulfilled.”

"I know."

With his back to her, Wu You stared intently at the stars diagonally above, and sighed softly:

"But I'm in a real hurry. I might not be able to wait that long."

"Youyou, listen to me. You now have the strongest and most unbeatable teammates in the entire Tianhai City. You clearly promised me last time that you would meet with everyone, but why did you stand everyone up when the time was up?"

"There's no reason why, I just suddenly didn't want to go anymore, so I didn't go."

"...Everyone is very busy, don't you think this is a little excessive?"

"It was my fault."

"........."

When it comes to admitting mistakes, Wu You never shirks his responsibility.

The problem is, she never changes her ways after admitting her mistakes.

Are geniuses really all about unique traits?

Hayasaka Mizuki found the little girl quite troublesome.

Unlike the others in the team,

Ari is the most reliable person; she's the eldest sister in the team who can hold everything together.

Gentle and considerate, she knows how to take care of everyone's feelings, including her own.

Last time, I even got to eat some exquisite pastries made by Ari herself. They were soft to the touch and tasted amazing.

Miya is the least likely to cause trouble, because she's small and her master disciplines her very well.

Apart from being a little absent-minded lately, he's been available for rehearsals whenever needed.

Although Jiang Nai is very busy and has a lot of things to do, she's the kind of alluring presence in the rehearsal room who will definitely shine if paid enough.

She seemed to have boundless energy and was incredibly beautiful, as if she could go without sleep.

As for Xiangxiang, she is the most difficult one to deal with besides Wu You.

[Xiangxiang suffers from a mental illness, with severe bipolar disorder. She becomes manic when playing the drums, and immediately switches to a different state after finishing a piece, remaining depressed all day... This has shaped her extreme personality as the "King of Drums," unmatched by anyone else.]

These days, the children in front of me even resist rehearsals.

Even with a solo recital tomorrow, they show no sign of resting.

This eccentric and troublesome personality truly made Hayasaka Mizuki feel...

[You'll have to pay extra].

The job of a real estate agent responsible for providing full-process tracking and protection is not easy.

When gathered, they are like a sky full of stars; when scattered, they are like a plate of sand.

Musicians often appear glamorous on the surface.

But the underlying problems are becoming increasingly serious.

Taking drugs, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, giving up on oneself, making reckless and regrettable decisions, abandoning the world without warning, or betraying teammates are all perfectly normal behaviors.

Hayasaka has seen a lot, so he has a fairly systematic experience in dealing with problem girls like Wu You.

“Well, Youyou, I think you’ve been under a lot of pressure lately. You have a lot of performances and a heavy workload of practicing the piano. You can only sneak out to get some fresh air like this every day. Anyone would have a hard time.”

“I’ve noticed that Miya has changed a lot lately; she seems to have made new friends. Why don’t you try following her path and meet some new people?”

A renowned psychology expert in Tianhai City once said, "When a person's lifestyle changes, their entire mental state changes, and such changes are often positive."

"I think what you said makes a lot of sense."

Hayasaka began to reason with them.

Upon hearing this, Wu You's body stiffened slightly.

She hesitated for only half a second before shaking her head again, saying, "How could anyone possibly want to be friends with me? Sister Meiyue, please stop saying such naive things."

"..."

Wu You seems to have a strange perception of herself.

She felt she wasn't suited to be friends with everyone.

"Then tell me, what are the things that make you feel inferior?"

"Isn't that simple?"

Wu You knew them all like the back of her hand.

"I'm gloomy, have many quirks, like dark things, and am interested in the occult."

"I'm busy; I have to practice the piano, and I don't usually have time to go out and meet friends."

"My family is very strict. They want me to become the top pianist at Tianhai Piano Club and have high expectations for me. This also means that they have high standards for my friends as well."

My mother's most frequent saying is, "Don't make friends with shady people; it's a waste of time," so I still don't have a single friend.

"..."

"Furthermore, I am prone to developing distorted needs towards people I admire; I want emotional reciprocation commensurate with what I give them. This is something almost no one can achieve."

Oh right, if the other person were of the opposite sex, and I happened to like them, the first thing I'd probably want to do is merge with them and explore their internal structure. Meiyue-nee, do you think anyone would actually like someone with my personality?

"........."

"The downsides of being my friend are too numerous to list on a single sheet of paper, while there's only one advantage—"

“I can teach him how to be bad.”

"I want to become bad with him."

"…………"

Hayasaka is convinced,

The lecturing plan was abandoned.

Indeed, for a girl like Wu You, it's extremely difficult to find a peer who is suitable to be her friend.

To be fair, which member of the opposite sex could understand her words and at the same time have a high enough aesthetic sense to appreciate the musical language she plays?

Those kinds of people must be highly skilled, right?

Their background goes without saying.

What kind of contestant would be a good match for Youyou, who comes from a musical family?

Are there such people in Tianhai City?
