Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

But she has been comforting everyone and worrying about everything that was interrupted because of that incident.

I just hid in a dark corner and made a decision on my own.

"I'm sorry." I had to say it.

Mahiru just shook her head. She had become less talkative these days.

Mahiru opened the backpack for the last time, checked each item one by one, and after making sure everything was correct, she gently hung it on her back.

"I always feel that Karen-chan may still be alive somewhere in this world." Mahiru smiled bitterly, "After all, that's Karen-chan."

"Yes. I will definitely bring her back." I said to myself.

If I don't believe this, who should I look at?

In the distance, there was the sound of a blade cutting through space.

Although I didn't know what was going on, I could feel that if I didn't leave now, it would be too late.

"Mahiru," he drew out his short sword and slashed it behind him, creating a crack in space, "Goodbye."

The last thing he saw was Mahiru waving to him tenderly.

It seemed as if nothing else was worthy of her greater reaction.

How long has it been since that day?

There is no one around me to talk to, and I don’t know where to go. I just change places recklessly, hoping that one day, I can meet that person again in this infinite world.

However, every time I heard any noise, it was either the wind or a monster.

He swung his sword mechanically, and the monster turned into black mist and dissipated before his eyes.

Even if you store more food and water, it will not be enough.

However, occasionally you can find other oases where you can take a breath and then continue on your journey.

Time has become blurred.

I'm also used to talking to myself.

The scenery gradually changed. Sometimes, instead of an oasis, you could see sparse vegetation, which seemed to indicate that the desert was about to end.

Have you crossed the entire desert?

I used to think that the whole world was a desert.

After leaving the desert, there is a plain.

Food and water were no longer a problem, but he often couldn't figure out what he could eat and what he couldn't. At this time, he relied on the guide that Mahiru had prepared in advance and some luck to avoid dying from food poisoning.

But the biggest surprise was seeing a small wooden cabin left by someone on the river bank.

I stayed there for a few days and it was quite comfortable. There was a kind of berry nearby that was also quite delicious.

The existence of the cabin means that there are other people in this world besides himself and Shengxiang’s companions.

After leaving there, I walked downstream by myself.

If the people who had lived in the cabin before wanted to leave, they would probably walk along the river.

Maybe we can find traces of those people.

However, the atmosphere these days is not right.

It seems that some danger is coming.

Until that day, I climbed to the top of the mountain and saw the overwhelming black tide coming from the distant horizon.

There was also a gradually enlarging black dot appearing on the skyline on the other side.

The black dot approached and turned into a flying vehicle.

After seeing the figure in the aircraft, my breathing stopped.

On the plateau, near the airship.

"This is the airship you built..." Xiaoguang stared blankly at the huge object in front of him.

Even Nana can't do it, right?

Hua Lian walked around the cabin nostalgically, found the door, and opened it.

There was no one inside. Hua Lian looked around and shouted "Is anyone here——" but only this shout echoed in the space.

"It seems that they haven't come back yet." She said regretfully.

Xiao Guang looked into the distance expressionlessly: "Are they really okay? I seemed to feel an earthquake just now."

"No. 10086 suddenly stopped talking..." Hua Lian appeared next to the aircraft at some point, "The engine can't be started..."

They could only wait in agony.

"Um," Xiaoguang suddenly became a little nervous. She pulled Hualian's sleeve and said, "Hualian, can you..."

She pointed to her neck.

"No." Hua Lian's smile did not change. Looking at such a smile, Xiao Guang could not even think of refusing.

"Xiao~Hua~Lian~" Suddenly a loud shout came from mid-air, and a water-blue figure emerged from mid-air, hooked onto Hua Lian's neck, and spun around excitedly, "I miss you so much——!"

Before Xiaoguang could react, he heard a noisy commotion coming from behind.

She turned around and saw a large group of people, all of whom were extremely happy. They surrounded Hua Lian and herself, shouting and yelling, making her feel a little helpless.

A blonde girl clapped her hands to quiet everyone down: "Okay, be quiet for a moment, and introduce yourself first..."

She looked at herself: "New student, you start first!"

Reacted.

Xiaoguang quickly calmed down and said, "Hello everyone. My name is Kagura Hikaru."

Hua Lian proudly announced: "Xiao Guang is very good!"

However, most people looked at the two of them with strange eyes.

"Congratulations," Shizi looked at Xiaoguang and Hualian with a half-smile, "The person Hualian found is really Guang. My name is Wu Shizi, the keyboardist of the band. Please take care of me."

"I'm Ichichi Hongxia, the drummer and captain of the band!" Hongxia said quickly.

The others introduced themselves one by one. Hualian had already explained it to them before, so even though there were so many people, Xiaoguang could still remember it.

However, when they spoke, they always stammered, looked at their necks, and then quickly looked away.

Xiaoguang was also a little embarrassed.

Finally, Youxina told everyone not to stand here and go back to the airship first. The crowd immediately dispersed and ran towards the cabin door.

Shizi deliberately fell behind, walking side by side with Hualian and Xiaoguang.

Hinai was still hooking her arms around Karen's neck, but Shizi winked at her and told her to run away.

Shizi looked at Xiaoguang's neck strangely, where there was a black leather ornament with an iron buckle, worn openly.

"Well, although it's very rude..." Her eyebrows jumped, "Could it be that..."

Xiaoguang looked at Hualian.

Hua Lian smiled and answered for him:

“It’s a collar.”

ps: The volume title cannot be longer than 20 characters, so you can only delete the word "Volume 5"...

Chapter 2 Collar

Hua Lian said the word "collar" in a tone as if it was just a necklace.

Shizi's expression froze.

Collar.

Collar.

Halsband.

Collier.

Collar.

These words, all used to refer to a ring-shaped device, usually made of leather, nylon, metal or other material, designed to be worn around the neck of an animal (especially a pet such as a dog or cat) and may have attachments such as a buckle, bell, or tag.

And when this word is associated with a person, it is usually only in one situation.

Xiaoguang saw that Shizi looked at Hualian uneasily and said, "Have you and Hina learned bad things?"

"Yeah!" Hua Lian nodded happily, "You've learned bad habits!"

"Did you learn this from other people?" Xiaoguang looked at Hualian with a somewhat uneasy look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, that person isn't that..." Shizi chose his words carefully, "Just be open and honest... Anyway, you don't have to worry about your mental health."

Xiao Guang breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Shi Zi seriously and said, "Can you please... please don't tell anyone else?"

"Don't worry." Shizi showed an "I understand" expression, "Although they are all people who have seen the world."

After living on the airship for a day, Xiaoguang had some idea of how much everyone had seen.

She lives with Hua Lian because "we already live together and we're used to it."

That being said, Shizi is now unable to use his abilities, nor can he add a bed to Hualian's room.

However, Hua Lian said with a smile, "It's okay for us to sleep in the same bed."

That attitude was just as tough as when Xiaoguang first arrived at Shengxiang.

So, the two of them put two pillows on a single bed amidst the strange looks from others.

There is also a quilt.

Xiaoguang was a little embarrassed at first when facing other people's gazes, but under Hualian's guidance, she visited people everywhere and got to know some of the relationships between people.

Suddenly it felt a lot more balanced.

She felt that although she was completely unable to refuse Hua Lian's increasingly excessive requests, and although she would wear the collar and walk around outside -

But in this place where talented people abound, he is still considered a normal person.

At least not as outrageous as classmate Wu.

According to others, that person not only had established relationships with two members of the band, but also had long-term ambiguous relationships with one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight other people.

Hinai even secretly told her that the man had confessed to her in person.

Xiaoguang didn't quite understand, but he had no choice but to accept it.

Try to stay away from her first, even though Hua Lian seems to have a good relationship with her.

Having said that, this person's condition made it difficult for everyone.

According to Hua Lian, this airship used to be able to fly steadily, had its own shield, and had lights.

However, in the previous revenge battle, her brilliance was tainted and she lost her power, just like Karen did back then.

The basis of all the functions of this airship is her ability.

So, from aircraft to airships, from lights to engines, everything was shut down.

If they really wanted to move, it wouldn't be a problem. Hina could take people to move directly, and Xiaoguang could open a space door, but the comfort level would definitely not be as good as an airship. In addition, everyone, including Hualian, had some feelings for the airship and didn't want to give it up easily.

Shizi herself was also very anxious. She tried to find a solution.

as a result--

"Puchi." A group of people sat around a round table outside the airship eating melon.

The table was moved out from the airship. Because there was no light in the bar and the atmosphere was bad, we simply ate all three meals outside.

What was placed on the table now was not a full meal, but a few sliced watermelons.

As Yusaki was cutting melons, she muttered to herself, "How did I become a peasant woman..."

Of course, these watermelons were not made by Shizi. They were all planted by Yousaki in the rocky beach nearby. Natural magic is really powerful. No matter whether the environment is suitable or not, just touch it with your finger and it will take root immediately. It will ripen in two days. It does not contain any hormones at all. Once you split it, the inside is red and juicy. Because of the current temperature, it has a refrigeration effect and is even seedless.

It’s been a long time since we’ve eaten pure natural fruits, let’s enjoy them.
