MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"and many more!"

Before Su Shi could speak, Ai Yin ran off.

Su Shi stood there, muttering to herself, "This is truly incomprehensible."

The phone vibrated.

[Aiyin: This is the address:]

[Aion: See you tomorrow!]

[Su Shi: What's with that form of address?]

[Aiyin: Isn't it very nice to listen to?]

Not at all. Su Shi thought to herself.

Chapter 17 Marathon, Under the Eaves

Inside the coffee shop.

With a ringing sound, Mu subconsciously looked up and saw a girl with long blue hair walking slowly towards him.

“Xiangzi…”

Xiangzi sighed: "Why are you looking for me? You didn't tell anyone about me, did you?"

She had no intention of telling anyone where she was going or what she planned to do.

Mu shook his head: "He didn't say."

"That's it."

She breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite Mu. Soon after, two cups of black tea were served.

"It's been so long since I've had this." Xiangzi sighed as he elegantly picked up the teacup, took a few sips, and found the warm, sweet taste to soothe his body and soul.

"Su Shi said she wants to see you," Mu said directly.

Xiangzi's expression changed slightly, and he said softly, "But I don't want to see her, nor do I want to see anyone else."

""

Seeing Mu bow his head and remain silent, Xiangzi sighed softly again.

“I have already ended Crychic myself... You don’t need to act according to Su Shi’s wishes.”

“She asked me what Crychic really meant to you? — I couldn’t answer that,” Mu said.

Xiangzi glanced out the window. She was wearing the Haneoka school uniform and Mutsu was wearing the Tsukimori school uniform, which made her stand out. She didn't want to attract attention. If it became gossip among her classmates, Su Shi might find out.

It's about time to give up, isn't it?

She clearly stated that she wanted to leave the team.

"Then you shouldn't have listened to her."

""

Xiangzi picked up the bill.

"I'll pay; you don't need to pay for me," she said frankly.

Mu nodded. Xiangzi had a strong sense of pride and would never allow her to pay the bill—even though she was short of money.

"Mu, stop being a messenger. What you're doing is giving Su Shi meaningless hope. It's better for everyone if you just say no."

Xiangzi paused for a moment, then said, "There's something I might need your help with later, but I won't force you. Just think it over carefully."

Mu remained silent, only nodding to show his understanding.

Xiangzi left the coffee shop.

at the same time.

Following the address displayed on her phone, Su Shi arrived at Ai Yin's doorstep.

Chihaya's house—that's what it says on the doorplate, so it should be correct.

Su Shi pursed her lips. Sure enough, she still felt like she had been tricked by Ai Yin, which was unpleasant. But now that things had come to this, could she back down and go back?

Come here.

Su Shi sighed and raised her finger to press the doorbell.

"Su Shi?"

"Ok?"

Familiar voice.

Turning her head, she saw Lixi. She was surprised, but also slightly annoyed, clearly dissatisfied with their previous conversation.

Su Shi silently looked away.

"...What are you doing here?" Li Xi asked.

"My classmate Aiyin invited me to attend the study session."

"She invited you?"

Why didn't you tell me? Was it on purpose? Li Xi looked towards Ai Yin's house.

Li Xi asked, "Just attending the study session? You don't have any other intentions?"

"I know what I should do." Su Shi suppressed her dissatisfaction; she was only there to attend the study session.

"In short, let me make things clear to you first."

Li Xi crossed his arms and said directly, "I promised Aine."

"Eh?"

What did I promise her?

“I’ve formed a new band with her, so if you want to revive Crychic… I can’t participate.” Li Xi wanted to be more direct and say “it’s impossible,” but she changed her mind.

There's no need to do anything that sounds like you're throwing a tantrum.

She was simply stating the facts.

Su Shi held her breath. A new... band?

"Why? Where's the light?" she asked urgently.

Crychic is incomplete without any of its members, whether it's Xiangzi or Lixi.

She's clearly still trying, so why is Li Xi...? Why are they all like this?

Am I the only one who wants to restructure Crychic?

Li Xi said calmly, "The lamp did not agree."

Phew... Su Shi felt a little relieved.

“When I first formed a band, it wasn’t to just go around in circles,” Lixi said, pressing the doorbell.

Ding-dong-

"Coming!" A cheerful voice rang out, the door to the house opened, and Aine strode in.

“You didn’t tell me Su Shi would be coming too.” That was the first thing Li Xi said.

"Does that mean RIKKI really dislikes Soyorin?"

Who is Soyorin? Lixi paused for a moment, looking at Su Shi beside her. Could it be referring to her?

“They always come up with weird names,” Li Xi said again.

"I think it's great! So do you hate her?" Aine steered the conversation back to the main topic.

Feeling Su Shi's gaze, Li Xi was at a loss for words. Ai Yin was really clueless to ask such a question. Didn't she think that anyone could calmly respond to such a question?

"I don't dislike it," Li Xi mumbled.

Su Shi slightly shifted her gaze:

"So that's love?"

Lixi couldn't hold back any longer: "What kind of questions have you been asking since just now?!"

Aine said nonchalantly, "Oh dear, it's just that the atmosphere between you two seems a bit tense. It was my fault for not informing you, Riki, but it's alright that Soyorin is here, isn't it? In fact, it's even better."

Li Xi snorted lightly: "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"

"Because if I say it, I feel that one of the three of you might not come."

"Do we have to attend all the study sessions?" Lixi asked again.

"Tomorin really hopes everyone will come."

They used the light as an excuse again.

Did she really tell Deng that someone else would be attending the study session? Su Shi and Li Xi both began to have doubts.

Just then, Aine caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

It's a lamp.

"Huh? Why is everyone here?" Deng was surprised to see Su Shi and Li Xi.

I thought it was just her and Aine.

Ai-yin quickly grabbed the lamp's hand. Although she didn't think the lamp would turn and run away at this moment, what if it did?

The lamp ran away, and Su Shi might run away too. Li Xi would stay, but she didn't want to see that scene.

Let's forget about marathons!

Then Ai Yin gently took her hand and smiled, "I invited you here. It wouldn't be lively enough if it were just the two of us at the study session."

“A study session doesn’t need a lot of noise,” Su Shi said.

"Isn't it good to have some liveliness? Studying all the time can be too much of a strain. A balance between work and rest is the best approach."

Li Xi retorted without holding back: "You seem like the kind of person who studies for ten minutes and then yells that they're tired, then puts down their textbook and starts playing on their phone."

"No, that's not true!" Aine retorted.

"Yes, Ai-yin is very bright and studies very diligently," Deng said softly.

Aine said smugly, "Tomorin really understands me! That's right, I was the student council president in junior high. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about yourself. I'll be supervising you while you do your homework, Riki."

Li Xi raised an eyebrow and said, "Huh? I don't need it."

"You're staying up all night every day?"

"I'll catch up on sleep during class."

Su Shi sighed, "Indeed, we should be worried."

Deng nodded slightly: "Lixi...it's not good to repeat a grade."

Ai Yin said with concern, "Riki, the tighter you hold the drumsticks, the further away university will be from you."

""

In this situation, even if she said her grades were still acceptable, they probably wouldn't believe her. Li Xi thought to herself, but she could indeed take this opportunity to improve her grades.

Deng glanced at Ai Yin. How did Ai Yin know that Li Xi stayed up all night every day?

Su Shi's mind was not on this at all. Her gaze was on Deng's face. If she could bring Deng to her side and into the "resurrection faction", then Li Xi might waver and lean towards her.

Ai Yin nodded to herself; all that was meant to come had come.

It would be great if they could make up. If their relationship is too strained, they might not be able to form a band in the end.

"Alright, everyone, come in!" Ai Yin clapped her hands and smiled.

So, the four people, each with their own thoughts, entered the house.

Chapter 18 Tokens of Love

"Mom, I brought my friends over to play!"

As soon as Aine entered the living room, she called out this, and after receiving an "oh" in response, she led them to the room upstairs.

"Excuse me," the lamp said politely.
