Gravity Girl Shining

Chihaya Aine answered at the right moment.

This news did shock Nagasaki Suyo.

"It's really fast, as expected of Xiangzi."

"Well, what does Xiangzi's matter have to do with us?"

"Lixi, even though you say that, you must be very curious about who is the second drummer Xiangzi approves of, right?"

Nagasaki Suyo's words hit the nail on the head for Shiina Riki, leaving her speechless.

"To say I'm not curious... is a lie."

"So, Aine, you and Shoko were good friends in Hanegaoka. What did Shoko tell you back then?"

"Ano! Actually, I'm also curious about Xiangzi's new lead singer!"

Faced with the curiosity of the Crychic trio, Chihaya Aine could only spread her hands helplessly.

"No, I don't know either. Xiangzi didn't tell me that. In fact, not only that, she was very secretive at the time and told me not to promote her band at school anymore, and not to tell anyone else about her relationship with AveMujica. It's weird, isn't it? She formed her own band, but she doesn't need to promote it? I was even thinking of using my MyGo account to help her connect with it and increase her popularity."

So, everyone turned their attention back to Uehara Hibiki who was petting the cat.

After all, Aine doesn’t know, and Tou doesn’t know, so the only breakthrough point left is Uehara Hibiki.

Uehara Hibiki blinked his eyes. He naturally knew who everyone in the AveMujica band was. After all, those people were introduced or encouraged by him to join AveMujica.

However, just like she did with Chihaya Aine, Toyokawa Shoko had already taken precautions on his side.

"Of course I know, but I promised Xiangzi not to tell anyone. Lixi, I guess it's the same with Hailing. But if you keep asking, maybe she'll relent and tell you."

"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for Hai Ling."

Shiina Riki gave up decisively.

But Chihaya Aine's curiosity was aroused.

"Hibiki! Can you just tell me a little bit? Honestly, I'm very curious!"

"Then why don't you ask Xiangzi directly at school?"

"Actually, I asked, but Xiangzi refused to tell me..."

"So you think I'll relent?"

Nagasaki Suyo sighed at Uehara Hibiki's question. She knew how tight-lipped Uehara Hibiki was. Before forming the band, he'd isolated himself from Deng. Before reconciling with Crychic, he'd isolated himself from Xiangzi... Why was he always targeting her?

"Xiang, I can accept it if you don't say it, but do you know why Xiangzi did this?"

"Yes, I do."

Uehara Hibiki let go of the cat and began to describe a curtain to the girls at the table.

"Do you...know Ave Mujica's worldview?"

"Huh? Worldview?"

Shiina Riki suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.

To be honest, Uehara Hibiki didn't know what Ave Mujica's worldview was. Xiangzi had always kept the script very secret in this regard, and he simply knew that there was such a worldview.

Therefore, Uehara Hibiki instead hopes that Toyokawa Shoko's spiritual friend, Takamatsu Tomo, can give him some answers.

"The worldview designed by Xiangzi. Ave Mujica's performance is divided into two parts: the band's music and the stage play. The lyrics and script are all created around this worldview. And..."

Uehara Hibiki recalled the sketches in Xiangzi's notebook and those difficult masks, and couldn't help but smile.

"All the band members have to wear masks and call each other by code names, hiding their real names and appearances. That's why she asked Aine to keep it a secret."

Uehara Hibiki took out his cell phone and showed everyone the precious draft photos of the mask.

Faced with this weighty information, the girls also showed an awkward expression for a moment.

"What weird thing is Xiangzi doing again? Is this still a band?"

As an orthodox band who always adheres to musicality, Tatsuki Shiina strongly condemned this.

"Awesome! So cool! I want one too!"

This is Chihaya Aine, who is into all sorts of weird fashion trends.

"Ring! Otherwise, we, MyGo, will have a chance to turn around..."

"Shut up, you!"

Shiina Riki decisively stopped Chihaya Aine's new trick.

"Aine, I'm warning you. If you wear a mask on your costume during your next live performance, I'm not going to play with you!"

"Tsk!"

Having died before achieving her goal, Chihaya Aine could only despise Shiina Tatsuki in her heart for not understanding trends.

Nagasaki Suyo hesitated for a long time, but finally gave a submissive smile.

"Xiangzi must have a deeper meaning behind what he did. We'd better not get involved."

"Don't you want to get involved?"

When Shiina Riki thought of his best friend, the expression on his face suddenly brightened.

"So, Hailing will have to wear this kind of difficult mask in the future... Pfft, sorry, this just feels a bit funny."

After unable to help laughing for a while, Shiina Tateki turned to Takamatsu Tomo, and ultimately the final judgment would have to be made by Toyokawa Shoko's close friend.

"Xiangzi once said, 'My singing is the cry of my soul.' Then, is this worldview also Xiangzi's own cry?"

As expected of Deng, the summary is very philosophical, and it is the same as Uehara Hibiki's opinion.

However, in Uehara Hibiki's opinion, there is actually another factor, and judging from the relaxed brows of Nagasaki Suyo, she seems to have figured this out.

"Well, it's true. Stage plays... are classical and elegant, and they really suit Xiangzi's hobbies as a young lady. As for the masks and code names, and the worldview... they can really be said to be the cry of Xiangzi's heart. But... I always feel that it has a bit of a Chuunibyou vibe to it."

Shoko Toyokawa, the "former" young lady, while maintaining elegance and nobility, is a serious high school student who has not yet graduated from her second-year syndrome.

Chapter 139: Cat Adventure.

Regardless of the facts, judging from the current information alone, Toyokawa Shoko's AveMujica worldview is indeed inseparable from these difficult masks.

In this regard, the MyGo community can only offer their respect and best wishes... and a few quiet chuckles. Hopefully, Toyokawa Shoko can find a reliable supplier who can make these masks at least a bit more refined. And in this relaxed and cheerful atmosphere, the rain outside the floor-to-ceiling windows has unknowingly subsided, and sunlight is filtering through the gaps in the clouds into the cafe. It's truly a summer rain, isn't it?

So, Uehara Hibiki seized the opportunity and asked everyone to go home. At the gate of RING, Lenai pulled her cart and looked at the accumulated water on the ground, and was suddenly in an unprecedented dilemma.

"Sound, there's a lot of water on the ground... There's water here, there must be water over there..."

While the words were nonsensical, Uehara Hibiki understood the cat girl's intentions. She needed a strong man. Although the guitar case was fully enclosed, Kaname was still extremely careful with her guitar and didn't want it to get wet. Of course, it could also be that cats are naturally afraid of water.

"Okay, I'll take you home today."

As soon as Uehara Hibiki said this, the looks of the surrounding girls suddenly changed. It seemed that in their eyes, this was the harem king launching a new offensive against Kaname Rakuna.

Chihaya Aine glanced at Uehara Hibiki with a half-smile, then took Nagasaki Soyo's arm. The two of them were laughing and talking about something. As for Shiina Tatsuki, being a common-sense person, she simply took Takamatsu Touma's hand and walked towards the train station. She hated what was happening next, but she was in no position to stop it, so she decided to just ignore it.

"Okay, Deng, let's go. Hurry up, it will be bad if it rains again later."

"Hey? Then... Xiang, see you tomorrow! We'll discuss the time and place of the date over the phone tonight!"

After hearing the new shocking news, Shiina Riki's anger grew wildly and explosively... Then, she gritted her teeth and pretended not to hear it, walking forward with the light on, but her pace became faster.

"Rikki is still being stubborn. It's obvious that what he thinks and what he does are completely different."

Chihaya Aine sighed after expressing her feelings, and Nagasaki Motoyo also smiled.

"Maybe this is because everyone's psychology is different. Even if you, Deng, and I all support a harem, our reasons are probably different."

"Huh? Is that so? Then what's Soyorin's reason?"

“I can’t tell you that. After all, Aine didn’t tell you either.”

The two girls smiled at each other, then turned to Uehara Hibiki almost at the same time.

"We'll be leaving then, Hibiki. I hope you enjoy yourself tonight."

"Lena is still a child, please be careful and be safe."

Although it was a caring tone, Uehara Hibiki still heard a hint of awkwardness and couldn't help but complain.

"Okay, you two are overthinking it. I'm the harem hero, not the hypnotist hero. I'm really just sending Lenai home. What are you thinking?"

"Hehe, I did it on purpose, but come on, Xiang! Dominate the band!"

It was hard to tell what Chihaya Aine's motives were, but Uehara Hibiki could sense several intense gazes whispering behind him. These were undoubtedly Ms. Rinrinko and several seniors from Poppin' Party who worked there part-time. It was said that they knew Rakuna's parents.

However, when it comes to Lenai's own decision, they probably helped keep it a secret, and for that, Hara Hibiki really has to say thank you.

Although these people have gradually become accustomed to Uehara Hibiki's harem behavior as everyone has become more and more unscrupulous and no longer act in the familiar RING, it is hard to say how they will react when Rakuna also publicly wants to join.

As for wanting Lenai, she has never cared.

The cat girl confidently handed over the guitar, which she regarded as her life, to Uehara Hibiki, and stepped into the street full of puddles. Her long Martin boots broke through the water surface, splashing water dots.

After saying hello and goodbye to Aine Soyo, Uehara Hibiki followed the cat girl, carrying the violin case in one hand and the cart in the other.

And Kaname Rakuna lived up to her name as the cat girl. She looked left and right along the way, and sometimes she would deliberately take a detour to make Uehara Hibiki unable to understand what she was thinking.

However, gradually, as the meows of cats around him increased, Uehara Hibiki also discovered Lenai's true intention. Cats really do like cats.

Crossing the overpass and climbing over the low wall, the surrounding buildings gradually lost sight of the city's prosperity and glamour, becoming old and dilapidated. Uehara Hibiki finally understood why Kaname Rakura needed help carrying her things; after all, with her small frame, it was indeed a bit difficult. Seeing Kaname Rakura's expression of listening to nature, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but speak.

"Lena, are you looking for a group of wild cats?"

"Well, it's just that after the rain, the cats all hid and are no longer in their original locations. We need to find them again."

Kaname Rakuna's heterochromatic eyes stared into the air, as if she saw something invisible to the naked eye.

"But the traces are very vague, and it will take time to find them."

Although I don't know how Kaname Rakuna relies on finding cats, Uehara Hibiki can't see the strange sights that cat girls can "see". However, he can surpass Kaname Rakuna in another area, that is, the distance and sensitivity of perception.

Lenai, I heard the cat, let's go straight over there."

"Hmm? Can you hear it?"

Faced with Kaname Rakuna's surprise, although Uehara Hibiki couldn't free his hands, he still showed his signature smile.

"Don't worry, Lenai, my hearing is very good."

Just like that, walking through the SPACE-renovated parking lot, which is now covered with puddles, the cats that gathered here have moved to an abandoned building not far away.

Honestly, in reality, these buildings are very dangerous. Not only are they considered unsafe after being abandoned, but more importantly, they often host homeless people, criminals, and even serve as secret meeting places for various social groups. Despite the exceptional peace of this 2D world, Hibiki Uehara still maintains a basic level of caution.

After all, in addition to criminals, there are too many monsters and demons in this world.

As a member of the evil spirits, Uehara Hibiki has no doubt that some super development will suddenly emerge in some corner of Tokyo.

For example, right now, the building in front of him made his instincts start to beat.

The anticipation in the cat girl's eyes wasn't empty talk. Although she still followed Uehara Hibiki obediently, the eagerness on her face was hard to conceal. Uehara Hibiki was willing to trust the stray cats' instincts, but before entering the building, she tentatively cast a wish for a safe escape into the wishing well. There was no response, so it seemed this thing should be safe... probably.

So, after getting Uehara Hibiki's nod of approval, the two entered the abandoned building. As expected, it was a mess, with all sorts of discarded furniture and building materials scattered on the ground. Some concrete pillars had even cracked, revealing the steel structure inside.

"Wow, this is a mess. Lenai, you must have been here before since it's so close to the parking lot."

"I've been in, but I can't go up, so I just took a look around on the first floor."

"The stairs are broken?"

"No, there's no elevator. I can't carry my suitcase up there."

It is indeed a normal reason. After all, Lenai carries her guitar with her wherever she goes, as if it is her second life.

so……

Uehara Hibiki looked at the dim stairwell and now understood Rakuna's true intention.

"This is physically demanding work, but since it's Lenai's request, I naturally have no choice but to do it."

Uehara Hibiki just said this casually, but the cat girl suddenly attacked him and pecked him lightly on the face.

"This is a thank you gift."

A cat's tongue... feels very comfortable when it licks people.

Uehara Hibiki suddenly gained strength, exerted force with both arms, lifted the piano case and the cart high up, and rushed upstairs as if spreading wings of light.
