"What kind of place would 'space' be?"
Takamatsu Akira sat at the bar, looking at the two matcha parfaits in front of him, lost in thought for a long time.
For Lena, what does "mygo" and "a lifetime" mean to her?
I want to understand, I want to know what Lena is thinking.
Takamatsu has set a preliminary goal, let's start today!
"Hmph, hmph, hmph hmph hmph—"
A beautiful girl with heterochromia slowly entered from outside the hall, accompanied by a guitar cart with screeching wheels.
It's Lena.
Takamatsu turned his head, a smile on his face.
"Matcha...buffet, is this for me?"
You asked Renai to stop her guitar cart, and then pointed at the two matcha parfaits in front of Takamatsu Akira with a fixed gaze.
"Yes, it's for Lena! If Lena has a big appetite, two cups are fine."
Takamatsu Akari replied, but Rakuna simply shook her head: "No, thank you, Akari."
"You two are here so early today. I don't see Lixi here."
At the front desk, Rinrinko, who was wiping glasses, smiled and asked the two of them.
"Lixi and the others won't be here for another hour or two... right? Rinrin-senpai, Ranna and I aren't here to practice today."
Gao Songdeng explained with a slightly flushed face, "Although I know I'm taking a break, I still feel a little uneasy seeing everyone training so hard!"
"I'm going to Space to feed the cats," the white-haired girl said succinctly.
"Go to space?"
Rinrinko heard the familiar words and looked surprised.
"Um
, space.
Rakuna nodded and then picked up the matcha parfait on the table and started eating. Ten minutes later, the two of them finished off the two matcha parfaits. Takamatsu Akari followed Rakuna out the door and embarked on their journey to find Space.
"Lena."
"What's wrong, Lantern?"
Hearing Takamatsu's soft call, Yulan stopped and turned around, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
"Lenai, do you like Mygo? Do you want to be in a band for life?"
Takamatsu carefully raised her head, as if seeking the girl's opinion, with a hint of fear and unease.
She, Aine, Lixi, and Sushi had all vowed to form a band for life and received responses, but Lena had never given much of a response before, and she needed a definite answer about this.
Upon hearing this, Yao Le Nai frowned.
"The lamp asked a boring question."
"Boring questions?"
Gao Songdeng wanted to ask more questions, but Le Nai started moving again, carrying the guitar cart forward. Helpless, she had no choice but to continue following.
Throughout the journey, Takamatsu Akari kept her lips pursed, pondering what Renai had just said.
"What do you mean by a boring question? Did asking this question make Lena angry or unhappy?"
Without the ability to read minds or interpret Rakuna's expressions, Takamatsu Akari pondered for a long time but still couldn't understand the reason behind it.
"We've arrived. Lights, here, space."
Without taking a moment to measure the time, they were brought back to their senses by hearing Lena's voice, and they had already arrived at their destination.
"This is Space? The parking lot?"
The warm sunlight shone on the lush ivy climbing the wall. The shop's decorations were old and worn, and the signboard was gone. A huge, colorful signboard read "parking space."
It is space, but not space.
"Yes, the space used to be a livehouse."
You had to walk into the sunlight, stand in front of the shop, look inside, and a look of reminiscence on your face.
"Space has disappeared."
Takamatsu reached out and touched the gate. The rental notice on the gate felt a bit rough, as if it had been up for some time.
"Well, it disappeared."
Her golden and azure pupils shone brightly, yet Lena maintained that utterly indifferent expression.
"Lena... she must be very sad, right? Her place of refuge has disappeared."
"The lamp is right. My home is gone. I thought space would really exist forever."
Why did space disappear?
"Because Grandma said it had done what it was supposed to do."
Have you accomplished what you were supposed to do? What does it mean to have accomplished what you were supposed to do?
Gao Songdeng didn't know much about opening a shop. He had heard his teacher say that opening a shop was not a simple matter, and there were probably many, many reasons behind it, but at least for now...
Lena is really unhappy.
"So that's why Lena is so persistent about her whole life? Mygo is Lena's new place to live!"
Takamatsu Akari spoke slowly, and when she got to the second half of the sentence, she suddenly understood what Rakuna meant by "boring"!
"I'm sorry, Renai."
"Hey, why does the lamp need to apologize?"
Kaname looked completely bewildered, staring into Takamatsu Akari's eyes, not understanding why the gray-haired girl had suddenly apologized.
Could it be that eating the matcha parfait made Deng feel like he had spent too much money?
"Because... I just said something boring. I questioned Lena's determination to be in a band for life!"
Since Lena was willing to form a band with them and have been playing together ever since, then Lena's determination is definitely no less than that of each of them. And by saying those words... wasn't she questioning Lena's sincerity towards mygo?
"Lena, my promise to everyone... to each and every one of you, to be in a band together for life... will never change."
"So, can Lena forgive me?"
Takamatsu Akari slowly walked away from the sunlight and into the shadows beneath the shop, drawing closer to Rakuna.
"Interesting comment. The light has returned to normal, but it didn't do anything wrong, so there's no need to apologize."
With a firm and unwavering expression, Takamatsu Akari, who is showing her true self, frankly stated that this is what Rakuna likes to see the most.
"Meow--"
"Meow--"
Just then, a delicate meow came from near their feet. Takamatsu looked in the direction of the sound and saw a white cat and a gray cat!
"It's a cat, Renai!"
"Well, I see it."
You need to crouch down and carefully observe the white cat.
"The lamp," she said, "you can play with it."
The girl then suddenly spoke, gesturing for Takamatsu Akari to come closer.
"Hey, can Lena understand what they're saying?"
Takamatsu's eyes widened in surprise. Could it be that Rakuna is a friend of animals and can sense the kitten's true feelings?
"Because you come here often, you get familiar with it, and then you'll know."
Lena smiled and gently stroked the cat in front of her with her small hand. The kitten let out a light and comfortable meow.
“This cat looks just like Renai!” Takamatsu Akari mimicked the white-haired girl and placed her hand on the white cat’s back.
"That gray one also looks like a lamp."
Yoru pointed to the gray cat on the other side, and also to Takamatsu Akari, in response.

"Cats are amazing animals. They will be close to you if they like you. They will approach you because they resemble a lamp."
As Rakuna finished speaking, she moved slightly closer to the gray kitten, but the gray kitten moved towards Takamatsu Akari.
"The lamp likes you even more."
The kitten nimbly leaped to Takamatsu's feet, circled twice, and then Takamatsu crouched down, getting closer to the gray kitten, whose adorable appearance was now fully revealed.
"Meow--"
A lazy, relaxed meow rang out, and before Takamatsu Akari could react, the cat jumped straight into her arms, startling her.
"what!"
Losing his balance, Gao Songdeng fell backward, colliding hard with the hard wooden floor.
She slowly opened her tightly closed eyes, and Lena's cute little face appeared in the upper right of her field of vision.
"Light, are you okay?"
"It's nothing, I was just startled by... Little Grey."
Gao Songdeng shook his head, feeling the softness in his belly, and brought his hands close to Xiao Hui.
"Looking at the sky from this angle... is a novel perspective."
Takasatsu lamp cast his gaze toward the distant blue horizon, the shadows of the eaves dividing the world into light and shadow.
"Light, what do you see?"
Kaname also followed Takamatsu Akari's example and lay down directly on the floor, not caring whether it was clean or not, and looked in the same direction as Takamatsu Akari.
What did she see? Only the sky, right? But since Lena asked her that, perhaps she wanted to hear something different?
"If we're talking about what's visible, what I see... is naturally the sky, Renai,"
But when I looked at the sky, my mind wasn't actually thinking about anything.
"Then don't think about it anymore, light."
"Grandma once said... everything is imbued with meaning by people, and everything in the world is just as it is... the sky is just the sky."
Is the sky just the sky?
Gao Songdeng didn't reply, continuing to gaze at the horizon, accompanied by the contented meows of the two kittens beside him.
"Does this mean that humans construct things, but don't have to live with meaning all the time, Renai?"
After thinking for a long time, Gao Songdeng replied.
"I don't understand what the lamp is saying, but I think what Grandma said is quite fitting here."
"Oh, really? Okay then!"
I wanted to continue discussing these profound topics with Lena, but since Lena has already said so, there's nothing I can do. But Lena's grandma, who can express such life philosophy... must be a very impressive person, right?
