MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

Two pairs of almost identical eyes looked out the window at the same time. The night sky of the South Pacific under the moonlight seemed a little colder than the night sky over bustling Tokyo.

The moonlight filtered in through the glass window, shining on Wakaba Mu's face, which always seemed to have a frozen expression, and on Toyokawa Shoko's face, who was smiling gently and charmingly behind her, and seemed to be in a state where she could constantly shine her light on others.

"Xiao Mu, the weather tonight is really great. Even the outline of the moon sea is so clear."

Wakaba Mutsu turned his back to Toyokawa Shoko, looked at the bright moon in the sky and nodded slightly.

"Ah."

"When did we start playing with dolls together as children? I can't quite remember..."

Toyokawa Shoko put her hands under her head and whispered, "But chatting with Xiaomu like this at night is a memory I haven't had in many years."

"When I think about the possibility that I won't be able to be this close to Xiaomu anymore, I still feel so reluctant."

"If I had known that Genjumaki-kun would hastily end his studies and return home, and start dating Xiaomu, I probably wouldn't have been so overwhelmed by my father's condition and quit crychic so rashly..."

"Because, even if I drop out of Tsuki no Mori, that's the best way for me to continue enjoying my time with Xiao Mu every day, right? Xiao Mu obviously loves everyone in Crychic and enjoys spending time with us. If I, the initiator who made unrealistic promises to everyone, hadn't quit first, Crychic would probably still be working hard for the next live show today."

"Although life was very difficult in the final year, it wasn't to the point where I had to quit the band... Even if we only practiced once every few days like we did during the final period, as long as crychic could keep going, maybe we'd see the light of day sooner or later."

"if that is the case……"

As she spoke, Shoko Toyokawa's voice became more choked with sobs.

"I can still spend a year with Xiaomu and leave behind happy memories instead of us suffering together."

As Wakaba Mu listened to his childhood sweetheart's confession, he lowered his head and a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.

If you had really continued to hold on over the past year, perhaps you wouldn't be here today.

If Xiang had not chosen to deliver newspapers to earn money for the family, he would not have broken RiNG's glass, Weijun would not have suddenly come to my house that day, and this period of time would not have been as happy as a dream for me.

But, Xiang, why did you wait until today to say these words to me?

I don't know how happy I would have been if I had heard you say this to me before that person suddenly broke into my life again.

I don't know how excited I will be to tell Su Shi that Xiang has thought it through and decided to reorganize crychic. I don't need to be caught between you two friends whom I care about the most anymore.

But it wasn't until today, until I announced to you the love affair that represents the future of my life, that I finally heard words from your mouth that touched my heart.

Did you really not understand these principles before? Even though I had no time to think during that busy life, the time you've been working at the firm has been enough for me to figure out a lot of things. Why is it that sometimes when I return to our shared apartment, Xiang, you never communicate with me so eagerly...

If I continue not to tell you about my relationship, will I never hear such honest words from you again?

But I won't blame you for this, Xiang, because you are the closest person to me in the past ten years.

Even in the future, you will be my second...ah, third closest person if you include Xiao Xinxin. How can the feelings we have shared for more than ten years be wiped out in one day?

Wakaba Mu turned over and looked at Toyokawa Shoko's eyes, which seemed to be rippling with water.

"Later, you can."

"Eh?"

"After Weijun and I get married, Xiang can come every day and sleep together like today. Weijun said that you are always welcome at the Xianjuan family."

"That's just a polite remark from Xianjuan-kun! Xiaomu needs to have a new family and a new life of his own. If I keep bothering you, Xianjuan-kun will get tired of me even if he doesn't say anything."

"We... haven't we always been friends? Not only Wei-kun, but Xiao Xinxin will also welcome you."

When Toyokawa Shoko heard Genmaki Koko's name, she couldn't help but lower her eyes:

"Because I'm always so passionate, I want to maintain our friendship so I can't abuse her kindness."

"Even if it wasn't for the fact that I was caught by Genjumaki-kun while delivering newspapers and had nothing to hide, I would never have thought of asking the Genjumaki family for help."

"Even if I accept the kindness of Genjumaki-kun in offering me a job, I won't ask him to help me solve my father's problem directly."

"Because I'm afraid that this kind of trouble, which can't even be considered a small favor between friends, will make us no longer even friends..."

Wakaba Mutsu and Toyokawa Shoko had a long-awaited night talk, but as the conversation continued to the end, their thoughts gradually tended to the same question -

【Xiao Mu/Xiang, why aren't you sleeping yet? 】

In another room on the same floor, Xian Juanwei, wearing headphones and holding a bottle of iced sparkling water, was tapping the mouse and keyboard in front of the monitor.

"Lissa Nickel, milk me, milk me!"

"Shirogane-san, fire at me!"

"Hey, that's not right. Why is there friendly fire on this map? It's really killing me."

"Yukina, Yukina, where are you?"

Before leaving, Wakaba Mu told her not to lock the door at night, but after waiting for a while and seeing her not come, Xianjuan Wei decided to take some time to start a game.

NeoFantasyOnline, or NFO for short, is a game in which all the members of the band Roselia, led by the former student council president Shirogane Rinko, who appears to be a classical beauty with superb piano skills, have joined the game.

Xianjuan Wei sometimes plays the role of BOSS in maps that allow friendly damage, to experience the feeling of 1V5.

"NFO is clearly a traditional friendly fire adventure game where you team up to fight monsters." Actually, friendly fire is allowed, because the company that developed this game is also controlled by the Xianjuan Group.

On the screen, all the members of Roselia who were forming a team to refresh the BOSS after the version update, plus Xianjuan who temporarily joined the team to help, a total of six people, were once again wiped out in front of the new BOSS.

"Mr. Genmaki, this monster's ability to withstand damage is too strong and it disrupts the balance. There must be a loophole in the mechanism that can be used to defeat it. What is it?" Minato Yuki's voice, which could transmit pressure through radio waves, rang out from the headphones.

"How should I know..."

"Isn't this gaming company yours?"

"The computers you're using are also from my family's company. Does that mean I can also build computers?"

"Hey, hey, Yukina, we are Roselia who believe in strength. The game's mechanics can only be fun if we explore them ourselves... Ah, we're resurrected, everyone gather!" Lisa Imai's voice rang out from the black-and-white software.

Xian Juanwei judged from the echo that the two people were most likely in the same room.

Xianjuan Wei said into the headset, "Speaking of which, Mr. Bai Jin, I'd like to ask you to help me shoot a few flashbacks next week. Is the time convenient for you?"

Before Shirogane Rinko's voice, which was much softer and more natural than Sushi's deliberately accented voice, could be heard, Minato Tomoki spoke first:

"Next week? There aren't any live performances scheduled, but please don't take up too much of Rinko's rehearsal time."

"Oh! Camera? What does Rinrin need to do? An MV? A movie? A TV series?" Ako Udagawa is more concerned than Rinko Shirogane, the person involved.

Platinum Rinko's weak voice finally came from the headset:

"Ya Zi, we've already signed with the agency. Any plans we have to make must first be approved by our agent..."

Hikawa Sayo, who was changing her equipment in the game, spoke with a tone of indifference brought on by confidence:

"Agent? Agency? Mr. Shirogane, have you forgotten what he did to Pastel*Palettes' agency not long ago?"

"Haha, it's all over, it's over." Xian Juanwei chuckled.

"For those employees who were sent to Africa for arranging the previous lip-syncing incident, the matter is not over yet, right? Mr. Bai Lu seemed to be scared by you at that time." Hikawa Sayo answered while checking the attributes and calculating the damage threshold.

Lisa Imai tried to smooth things over: "Ah, anyway, at least after transferring to Xiaowei's agency, Pastel*Palettes can rest assured and no longer have to worry about retaliation at the previous agency."

Xian Juanwei held up her face and looked at the characters changing their equipment on the display screen:

"Oh yes, speaking of PP and the others, I'll have to trouble Bai Jin and Xiao Cai to shoot a few scenes together. Don't worry about the agency, I'll coordinate it."

"Aya-chan? Maruyama-san?"

"Yeah...you don't even need to change your hairstyle, just act as yourself."

----

In Wakaba Mu's room.

【Xiao Mu/Xiang should be asleep already, right?】

Wakaba Mutsu was about to carefully lift the quilt, but he found that Toyokawa Shoko beside him had already quietly left the bed and put on slippers.

So the action of lifting the quilt naturally becomes a natural adjustment of the arm posture while sleeping.

[Did Xiang go to the bathroom? Then wait until Xiang comes back and goes back to sleep...]

Ruoye Mu was getting ready for bed when there was a knock on the door of Xianjuan Wei's bedroom on the other side of the corridor.

Xianjuan Wei apologized to Roselia and the others, then turned off the audio input of the headset.

He's the kind of person who would say "wait until I finish this game" even if there's a beautiful girl waiting next to him. Xiao Mu will see more situations like today in the future...

Just as he was thinking about what he would do with Wakaba Mu later, when Xianjuan Wei opened the door, he saw a figure that was completely beyond his expectations.

"Genjukuni-kun, I'm so sorry!"

Wearing pajamas and a nightgown, Toyokawa Shoko bowed deeply to Genmaki Yui.

Tips: I'm sorry, kids. The restaurant our boss found for our dinner party today was too fancy. We ate so much that my head is so full. This is the only chapter I'll write today. Please give me more advice.

Chapter 155 Can You Help Me Put on My Dress?

Toyokawa Shoko? Why is it you? Where did you hide my Xiaomu?

Xianjuan Wei looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who had given him an open-door kill and said nothing, and turned 90 degrees to make a private Marseille, with a stern face and remained silent.

After bowing and apologizing at Genmaki Yui's door but receiving no response, Toyokawa Shoko remained in the same posture nervously.

But more than ten seconds later, Xianjuan Wei's question caught her off guard.

"Xiangzi, what's wrong with your knee? Why is there a Band-Aid on it?"

"……what?"

Shoko Toyokawa, who was bowing her head, quickly looked down at her knees which were only half covered by her nightgown.

After Wakaba Mu and Genjumaki Wei left, she put two Band-Aids on her knees, which were scratched by the gravel on the ground while she was crawling on her knees.

Even so, one could still vaguely see the light red skin and shallow bloodstains due to friction from the edge that was not covered by the Band-Aid.

“This, this is…”

Genjumaki Wei looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who quickly bent her knees and covered her knees with her hands, looking a little flustered, with curiosity and exploration in her eyes.

I am the only Bro on the entire island, and no one knows how to repair Xiangzi's car, so how could her knees have been worn out?

Toyokawa Shoko racked her brains and said haltingly:

"Because the news about Genjumaki-kun and Xiaomu was so sudden, I was really surprised... I was a little distracted when I was going down the mountain, so I accidentally fell."

Xian Juanwei leaned against the wall and sighed:

"I know you're a tough guy, Xiangzi, working in customer service in the afternoon, doing housework at night, and delivering newspapers in the early morning, but don't just use a Band-Aid to deal with an IV like that."

"You didn't clean the wound properly, did you? I'll ask the doctor to take care of it. Should I apply some iodine or something?"

Toyokawa Shoko took her hands off her knees, straightened her back, and waved her hands repeatedly, with a look of panic in her eyes:

"It's okay, I just got a little scratched accidentally, no need to trouble you so much!"

However, Xian Juanwei had already called the phone:

"Please ask the doctor to come to my place later to treat Ms. Toyokawa's knee scrape."

"Ah, yes, it's an external injury. I'm trying to identify the cause of the injury."

After hanging up the phone, Xianjuan Wei nodded to Toyokawa Shoko and said:

"Okay, what did Xiangzi want to say to me just now? Why did you apologize so suddenly?"

The mood and action of apologizing just now were interrupted. Toyokawa Shoko, whose original determination had weakened a little, was brought back to the topic by Genmaki Yui, and a slight blush of embarrassment appeared on her face.

Looking back at the wide-open door, Shoko Toyokawa closed the door first.

Xian Juanwei responded with a look that showed he wasn't at all worried about being falsely accused or having an unclear explanation after closing the door.

"Um, Genmaki-kun!" Toyokawa Shoko bowed deeply again.

"I'm so sorry. When I was delivering newspapers and smashed the window of Xianjuan's livehouse, I said some very hurtful and excessive words to him in a hurry!"

"At that time... all I had left to protect was my self-respect, so when faced with Xianjuan-kun's kindness, I subconsciously regarded it as a condescending charity, and that's why..."

"Anyway, I'm so sorry!"

"At that time, I so conceitedly accepted the olive branch offered by Genjumaki-kun, without even a proper apology or thanks to you."

"Maybe, maybe... I had this unhealthy mentality back then, thinking that accepting help from others was like giving them permission to help me. I was actually the one who was superior..."

As she spoke, Toyokawa Shoko's voice became lower and lower. Looking at Xianjuan Wei who had a question mark on her face, she couldn't help but lower her head and look at her toes.

Although I came a little late, no matter what... it shouldn't have a negative effect and won't make my friends feel more resentful towards me.

Xian Juanwei was silent for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.
