Shiina Riki squeezed the panda until it was slightly dented, making a soft crunching sound, and this tiny action was noticed by Hachiman Kairin.

Hachiman Kairin tilted her head: "Why do I feel like you care a lot about Toyokawa-san? Don't you dislike her?"

“Heh, because that’s what she said before—” Lixi’s voice suddenly stopped, as if she had bitten into something bitter, “and what happened? She disappeared without even a word of explanation.”

Hai Ling stroked her chin thoughtfully: "I see... So you're worried that she'll suddenly run away this time too?"

"So you're worried about me? Hmm, thanks."

Although Shiina Tatsuki didn't bring up her past with Toyokawa Shoko, she seemed to have a pretty good grasp of the situation through this kind of questioning, and she could probably deduce what had happened.

"Just consider it my concern for you."

"Would you like to come see Ave Mujica's performance after that?"

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll probably start our activities next week. I don't know where we'll be doing commercial performances, but we probably won't be going to RiNG."

RiNG is a big band, but it's still a bit small for a commercial band. After all, the ultimate goal of a commercial band is to make money, and only by performing at the Budokan can the band's fame be maximized and they can earn more money.

"I'll go take a look when I have time."

Shiina Tatsuki pondered for a moment before speaking.

Volume 2 continues mygo!: Chapter 169 Mortis: How can we play if there are cheats?

The weekend flew by, and after a good rest and playing with Renai, Takamatsu felt refreshed and full of energy again.

They had agreed with Su Shi that they would go to Xiao Mu's house after school today.

"Little Lamp, be prepared to be turned away."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, on the way, Nagasaki Motoyo looked calm, but it would be more accurate to describe her as worried.

In her opinion, it was highly likely that Xiao Mu still wouldn't want to see them.

"Even if we get turned away, we should still try. At least we should meet with and contact Xiaomu's parents, right?"

Friends and parents are the only two who can help Xiaomu.

Soon, guided by Su Shi, Takamatsu Akari arrived smoothly at Wakaba Mutsu's doorstep.

Looking at the somewhat magnificent gate of Xiao Mu's house, Gao Songdeng couldn't help but be a little surprised.

If Su Shi's large house already shocked her once... then Xiao Mu's house was the second. As for Xiang Zi, her family must be quite wealthy too, right?

Tsukinomori is renowned as a prestigious girls' school. Takamatsu Akari had heard Aine mention that the students there were all from wealthy and noble families, completely different from ordinary people like her.

"Does Xiaomu need... psychological counseling for her?"

"Maybe it's necessary, but it depends on whether Xiao Mu is willing."

The two slowly approached the huge roller shutter door. Takamatsu looked around and spotted the brown main entrance next door, as well as the small doorbell at the door.

Takamatsu pressed the doorbell and looked eagerly into the room.

Xiao Mu had already arrived home by car, meaning that Xiao Mu was at home at that moment.

"Ding dong."

The doorbell chimed with an ethereal sound on the street.

About two minutes later, a man who looked like a butler appeared and opened the brown door.

"Hello, who are you looking for?"

The butler, staring at the two students, said politely,

But deep down, they might have their own guesses.

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and walked up to Takamatsu Akari: "We're here to see Mutsu. We were wondering if it would be convenient for her to meet? I..."

She paused, as if struggling with something, but soon a resolute look appeared in her lake-blue eyes, and she no longer wavered.

"I am her classmate and friend."

Being open and revealing your true self may hurt you, but even if you get hurt, you must keep moving forward.

This is the lesson Xiaodeng taught her; she should have so much to say to Mu Zimi.

"Let's make up. I... I've come to apologize to Xiao Mu. I shouldn't have treated her that way in the past. Whether she wants to see us or not, please convey my message."

"Su Shi..."

Takamatsu's eyelashes trembled; it was the first time she had ever seen Su Shi so bluntly.

"Don't worry, Xiaodeng, it's not just you, I'm also prepared to be turned away."

Standing in front of the door, the girl turned around, her lips curving into a smile that was so charming and captivating that even Gao Songdeng blushed.

"I think Xiao Mu would definitely want to meet someone like this!"

"I see, I understand. But you two don't need to wait outside. Please come in with me. There's a reception room inside. Please wait for Miss's reply."

Now that things have come to this, he can see that the two girls are not bad people, but just ordinary students who simply want to clear up the misunderstanding with the young lady. This kind of student matter should be left to the young lady's own opinion.

The brown door opened, and Takamatsu Akira and Nagasaki Motoyo walked into the entrance hall. As soon as they entered, they saw a huge living room, even bigger than Motoyo's house!

"Xiao Mu's parents are both famous artists in the entertainment industry, so it's normal for them to have such a house."

Gao Songdeng carefully sat down on the sofa. An aunt appeared at the corner of the living room on the first floor and immediately served them tea and pastries.

"Then please wait a moment, gentlemen."

The butler made a polite gesture, turned around but did not walk towards the bedroom on the second floor, but instead went to the basement at the end of the first floor.

"Xiao Mu should be in there, right? Should we talk to Xiao Mu about something today?"

Takamatsu looked down at the reception table in front of him in silence, deep in thought.

What are Mortis's inner thoughts and desires, and what is the meaning of Mortis's dual personality?

Only by finding the cause can we find the right solution. All of this is for Xiaomu...

I must not become such a terrible person.

"Little lamp."

Just then, Nagasaki Motoyo's soft voice brought her back to her senses.

"Are you nervous?"

Su Shi's hands, warm and smooth as jade, covered hers.

"That's true to some extent. I'm just wondering why Xiao Mu doesn't want to... have a proper talk with us."

If Xiangzi was stubbornly refusing to communicate and remain silent, then Xiaomu was a pitiful and vulnerable silence.

In some ways, the two are quite similar!

"Yes, it would be great if everyone could speak clearly, both now and then."

Memories of RiNG's disbandment flooded back, and Nagasaki Motoyo gave a bitter smile, but thankfully, she no longer felt the lingering pain in her heart.

Because now there is mygo.

"Gentlemen, the young lady is playing in the basement, and she'd like to see you."

"Oh really... That's great!" Takamatsu Todori's amber eyes shone even brighter in the living room light.

"Yes, but Miss also said... this is the first and last time. After this chat, don't contact her again."

The butler's words echoed in the living room. Nagasaki Motoyo looked somber, while Takamatsu Akari's expression also darkened for a moment before regaining its resolve.

"Even just once, as long as I can talk to Xiaomu and help her, it doesn't matter if we never see each other again!"

"Su Shi, let's go!"

Gao Songdeng naturally took Su Shi's hand and led her step by step toward the dark, seemingly man-eating basement entrance, as if there was no way back.

The steps weren't long; a few steps would take her to the floor. But as she stepped onto the first step, she saw a girl with light blue hair sitting in a chair.

It's Xiao Mu.

At this moment, Wakaba Mutsumi had her back to them, holding a pink guitar and playing continuously... and the melody of the song sounded very familiar, with...

The shadow of spring?

With their feet firmly planted on the solid floor, Gao Songdeng and his companion officially entered the basement. Looking around, the basement had been transformed into a rock-and-roll space, complete with a drum set, speakers, sofas, and everything else imaginable. It even seemed large enough to accommodate a band's practice sessions.

"Xiao Mu."

Upon seeing Mutsu, Motoyo Nagasaki was visibly moved. Aside from their usual meetings at school, this was the first time she had a proper meeting with Mutsu since Crychic disbanded.

"Su Shi."

Wakaba Mutsu's complexion wasn't very good. She got up from her chair, swaying unsteadily. Nagasaki Motoyo immediately stepped forward and supported her shoulders so that she could stand properly.

"Su Shi, yes, I'm sorry."

"Why should I say sorry?! I'm the one who should be saying sorry! I'm the one who should be saying sorry!"

Nagasaki Motoyo gritted her teeth, a hint of anger even appearing on her delicate face.

“If I had known that Su Shi wanted to make up with me, I shouldn’t have kept avoiding you. And Xiao Deng, I… also want to say sorry.”

Ruoye Mu's gaze was fixed on the floor as he spoke slowly, word by word.

If they could have spoken to Su Shi properly, and if they hadn't argued and shifted blame with Xiao Deng at the school gate, then Xiao Deng and Su Shi wouldn't have been misunderstood by Xiang Zi.

She always knew what Xiangzi meant to the two of them, but she still messed everything up in the end, even though Su Shi and Xiao Deng hadn't done anything wrong.

It's her, it's all her! Why can't she just talk to me properly?!

"Does Mumu blame herself, thinking she's always the culprit who caused everything to fall apart? I've never thought that way... so Mumu doesn't need to apologize at all!"

"What happened at Asukayama Park isn't your fault, Mu. It's all my fault. I wanted to reconcile with Xiangzi but I was thinking of using you. You didn't do what I wanted, so I became disheartened. But this has never been your fault!"

Conflicts are always handled in a gentle and communicative manner... but in a sense, this can be called weakness, and it also implicated Xiao Mu.

"It doesn't matter what happens to Xiangzi now..."

"Right now, all I want is for Xiao Mu to be alright!"

What feelings should she have when facing Xiangzi? She didn't know, but now, she couldn't let Xiao Mu suffer any more. Xiao Mu clearly cared about her a lot, and she should have known that sooner!

Nagasaki Motoyo's face was tense, and her pupils were slightly misty. She held Wakaba Mutsu's hands tightly and wouldn't let go.

"Su, Su Shi..."

Ruoye Mu's voice trembled, and her eyes inexplicably began to redden.

"Xiao Mu, Su Shi and I both hope you're doing well and that you're happy. You absolutely have to be happy!"

Takamatsu Akari stood on the empty left side and spoke softly.

"Well, Xiao Mu, we won't interfere with Xiangzi or the new band anymore. We just don't want your future to become terrible. Xiao Deng, why don't you talk to Xiao Mu about it?"

As Su Shi said, the band and Xiangzi don't matter; the most urgent thing is to solve Mortis's problem first.

At that moment, a doll slowly appeared in Ruoye Mu's field of vision.

The doll named Mortis suddenly realized something was wrong.

"Don't listen to those two, Mutsuko-chan! Only I truly care about you!"

The doll kept swaying in the air, which showed that she was somewhat anxious.

"Su Shi, Xiao Deng is deceiving you. Compared to you, only Xiangzi is the most important. They just want you to accept them, and then they'll subtly probe about everything related to Xiangzi!"

“Mortis… but Xiaodeng mentioned your name before, but I never told her.”

The last time she met Xiaodeng, when Xiaodeng mentioned Mortis's existence, her expression froze for a moment, as if her secret had been completely exposed.

"Xiao Mu, who are you talking to? Xiao Deng, could it be that Mortis has appeared?"

In Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes, it was very strange that Mutsu was talking to someone who was not there.

"That must be it, it's Mortis... that bastard."

Takamatsu nodded noncommittally.
