It's like coaxing a child.

Or it's like wanting to be comforted as a child but having no one to comfort them and having to comfort themselves.

Xiangzi gently coaxed a child, as if his own legs had a mind of their own.

Then, you see, it's all set.

hum!

Well!

it hurts.

If there's no cake left, should I make another one myself?

but.

No money.

Also, it's raining.

Xiangzi looked up at the raindrops falling in the oppressive air.

It hurts so much.

The clothes were stuck to the wound.

. . . . . .

"Buzz~"

The phone rings.

"I'm leaving."

Tao Xiang sent me a text message.

. . . . . .

Kawara Momoka stood beside the station, watching a young girl walk gracefully and slowly from the side, carrying an umbrella and looking like a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Hey, where did this young lady come from?"

"Oh, thank you for the compliment," Xiangzi said gratefully, unable to take big steps for various reasons.

"Well, I didn't expect that the person who would end up giving it to me was someone I'd only known for a day." Kawara Momoka scratched her head.

"Hmm, uh-huh." Xiangzi looked at the other person. So, the reason the other person wanted him to come and take her home was because...?

"Tsk, me, me and Diamond Star, you know about that, right?"

"Yes, I know about it."

"We are a band moving towards professionalization."

Kawara Momoka looked at Shoko.

It's like looking at my proud self back then.

I hope my experience can help her.

"We dropped out of high school, hoping to become a new trendsetter in the band."

Everything that happened in the past, the dreams that were gradually abandoned, and finally, due to various pressures, the Diamond Star who gave up on his goals and only wanted to survive.

Momoka Kawara told everything.

So, I chose to leave.

Having made the choice, I admit defeat.

"You're not going to admit defeat," Xiangzi said, looking at the other person.

"Huh? No, I've already prepared everything."

"You're expecting me to give you a reason to stay, aren't you? Otherwise, you wouldn't have let me come here."

"..."

"Would you like to be the lead singer here?"

"The wind, the style is wrong."

"That."

"Yesterday, I really liked your keyboard."

"So, you want me to come over, is that right?"

Xiangzi stared wide-eyed at the girl in front of him.

and many more!

Wasn't it me who persuaded you?

What is this for?

He looked to the side.

"Besides, aren't you unwilling to become a professional?" Xiangzi asked.

Kawara Momoka looked to the other side.

. . . . . .

"Gu, although I really want to lie to you, I can't."

Xiangzi said this.

"That's true." Momoka Kawahara sighed, turning to wait for her car to arrive.

“But I think there’s someone who might be the basis for your decision!” Xiangzi said, looking at the girl who was rushing over with her guitar.

It's called Jingqinrencai, right?

He grabbed someone's microphone and started yelling.

"Momoka-nee! Although I'm selfish and unreasonable, I want to tell you, please remember to give me the middle finger! Don't give up!!"

Xiangzi looked at the other person, then turned to look at Kawara Momoka.

"Just like you were back then, right?"

"..."

"Don't forget to give me the middle finger, Momoka-san."

"Shut up."

"It's definitely not Momoka who would admit defeat like this."

"Even though I've only known someone for a day."

"But tears don't."

"Don't pretend to be an adult when you're still a child!"

Kawara Momoka lowered her hand and walked forward.

Xiangzi touched his cheek, which had been pinched, wondering if it had gotten thicker.

Goo!

That's how my face got pinched by more and more people.

As a result, she has become chubby and round like she is now!

but.

I turned to borrow a keyboard, and the familiar-looking girl in the store helped me by holding up an umbrella.

then.

"You can sing it, right?" said Momoka Kawaragi.

Xiangzi sighed, looked at the two people over there, and followed their pace.

"Too blank, too long!"

Yes, it really is this song.

. . . . . .

"What a wonderful voice!"

Xiangzi looked at Rencai and was just about to go over and say something.

Eh?

How did it suddenly become suspended in mid-air?

Look down.

Kawara Momoka lifted herself up.

"what?"

"Don't go over and pull her."

"But aren't you leaving?"

"...Didn't she invite me to form a band?"

"Hum~"

"In short, are you coming?"

"No, I have a band."

"...Then, then don't pull her anymore."

"But my band is still short of members."

"Gulp, what does this have to do with me?"

"...Ms. Momoka~"

Xiangzi looked at Taoxiang.

Suddenly, an idea came to mind.

"Well, Ms. Momoka needs to rent a band and borrow a venue, which will cost a lot of money, right? Putting aside the band and their professions, the initial expenses alone will be substantial. However, Ms. Nina is unemployed, and if you are planning to leave, your previous job will also be affected."

"so what."

"We're a professional band, you know, we can earn quite a bit per show."

"You mean."

"If you want to form a band, you'll have to spend money and work."

"Me, work for you guys as the lead singer?"

Xiangzi crossed his arms, tilted his head back, and looked at me as if he were begging.

"Gulp! This!"

"But what could be a better way for you to make money than this?"

"Gulp! This! This!"

"Of course, if our band finds someone better, you don't need to come anymore, but the money from before is still owed."

"So, in order to form a band with Rencai and have her as my lead singer, I have to work as the lead singer in another band to earn money to support her and my band?"

"Hmm! It seems so. Besides, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Miss Momoka. If you're not happy about it, I won't either."

"Gulp! I, I, I'll think about it."

"If you still need to think about it, then forget it."

"No!" Tao Xiang looked at Xiang Zi.

"The key is!" Momoka said through gritted teeth.

"This feeling, this feeling, that I went to another band to be the lead singer for the sake of Nina and my band, is like a male escort selling alcohol outside to support his wife. It's so weird."

"Well, but, but, it really does cost money."
