[Su Shi: Even if I didn't praise you, you would still go look for it, right?]

That's true... but Aine was still very annoyed and bombarded the enemy with several emojis.

Then I quickly received a series of unread messages until the class bell rang.

[Su Shi: Let me just say congratulations anyway]

[Aine: Is there nothing else?]

[Su Shi: No]

"They're all so stingy." Ai Yin snorted softly, unleashed another barrage of emojis, then put away her phone and continued with the lesson.

After school.

See you tomorrow, tomorin!

"Ah."

Aiyin grabbed her schoolbag and headed outside. Knowing which class Xiangzi was in, she went straight to the door of another classroom.

I glanced around, but Xiangzi wasn't there.

Have they left already? So fast? School just let out.

Aine had no choice but to grab a student and ask, "Excuse me, is Toyokawa-kun here?"

"Toyokawa-san? She left as soon as get out of class ended."

"Or rather, it seems like she's always like this? She doesn't interact much with anyone in the class, and she's always so busy."

"Yes, I don't even know her name."

Is Xiangzi busy? Ai Yin wasn't sure. She thought that if she went to the main gate now, she should be able to run into Xiangzi. She couldn't let her get away.

“I think I actually saw Toyokawa-kun,” a student interjected.

"where?"

"It seems like they went to the club building? I'm not really sure, I just caught a glimpse of it."

Student Union Building?

Ah, could it be! Aine thought of a possibility, thanked the students, and then rushed to the club building.

The sound of a piano could be faintly heard... Sure enough. Ai Yin nodded.

Xiangzi seems to sometimes play the piano in the brass band, but she is not a member of the club; she just borrows the piano without permission when no one else is there.

She climbed the stairs and opened the door to the wind instrument section.

The flowing, graceful music filled the room as the blue-haired girl sat at the piano, closing her eyes and pressing the keys.

After the music ended, Ai Yin politely spoke:

"Hello, are you Toyokawa Shoko?"

Xiangzi paused, opened his eyes, and realized that there were still people there.

She glanced at Ai Yin a few times, and only felt relieved after confirming that she wasn't someone she knew: "It's me, that's right, you are..."

Chapter 30 is truly aloof and superior.

"My name is Chihaya Aine, you can just call me Aine."

Xiangzi closed the piano key cover: "So, what does Aiyin want with me?"

Ai-yin cut straight to the point: "Su-shi wants to meet you."

Upon hearing the name "Su Shi," Xiangzi's expression clearly changed. He then sighed, and his gaze towards Ai Yin became scrutinizing and wary.

"Nagasaki Motoyo?"

"Ah."

Xiangzi stood up and said coldly, "I think I've already made it clear that I don't want to see her."

"But she wants to restructure Crychic."

Reorganization? Xiangzi was taken aback and turned his face away: "That's impossible."

"why?"

"I don't think this has anything to do with Aine."

"Have."

Xiangzi looked at her, and Ai Yin answered frankly, "I want Su Shi to join my band."

"Your band," Xiangzi muttered, having understood the whole story.

Su Shi wanted to reform the band and couldn't let go of Crychic, so naturally, he couldn't join any other band.

Aine wants to bring Sue into her band, so Aine has to help resolve this issue.

“Su Shi really likes Crychic,” Ai Yin added.

Xiangzi crossed his arms: "You came here to relay her words, didn't you?"

Just like harmony.

"No, that's not it. This is my own decision. And I'm not here to be a messenger. I want to take Xiangzi to have a proper talk with her," Aine said earnestly.

Xiangzi said calmly, "I have personally ended Crychic. I told all the members in front of them that I was leaving the team. My will is very clear."

Ai Yin shook her head; she didn't agree with that statement.

"But you didn't say why, did you? No one can accept this."

"Because it's my own problem, how can I easily tell others about something that I can't talk about?"

"To Xiangzi, are the 'everyone' in Crychic someone else?" Ai Yin retorted.

Xiangzi was speechless for a moment, unable to retaliate.

What's wrong with this girl?

"...Didn't you want Su Shi to join the team? Why are you making it sound like you're trying to persuade us to make up?" Xiangzi said in a low voice.

If I had simply told Su Shi what I said verbatim, she would have given up, and then I could have taken the opportunity to win her over, right?

Aine put her hands on her hips: "Because whether it's Riki, or Deng, or Su Shi, they're all my friends. Wouldn't a friend want the other person to be happy? Besides—"

"And?" Xiangzi frowned.

"I feel that Xiangzi also really likes Crychic."

Xiangzi pursed his lips. "You're not a member of the band, nor are you a close friend, yet you can sense it?"

That was probably just something said casually.

"Aiyin is really naive; she can say such things so casually," Xiangzi said softly.

"I admit it might be wishful thinking on my part, but if Xiangzi really is that kind of annoying person, Su Shi and the others wouldn't like being in the band either. Putting aside Li Xi, Deng and Su Shi are very perceptive."

They will definitely notice anything happening to the people around them immediately.

If Xiangzi really disliked Crychic, then she wouldn't need to say she wanted to leave the band; the band would naturally disband and they would become strangers.

Xiangzi fell silent.

Then she took a deep breath.

"You suddenly popped up and started rambling on and on. Did you know perfectly well that Su Shi was still interested in Crychic, yet you still planned to invite her? Wouldn't it have been easier to just get a new bassist?" Xiangzi voiced her doubts.

If you want to form a band, why not find newcomers?

"It is indeed convenient, but all I want is Su Shi."

"...Why?"

"A lot?"

Xiangzi shook his head: "No, not at all. I have no right to manage other people's private affairs, and similarly, others have no right to interfere in my affairs."

"That--"

The problem has taken another turn.

"—Are the people in Crychic really strangers to Xiangzi? Was your talk of a shared destiny a lie?" Ai Yin's tone remained gentle, without a trace of blame.

Xiangzi frowned even more deeply.

She didn't want to answer and wanted to leave, but as soon as she took a step, Aine moved to block the doorway.

"When it comes to blocking doors, I'm a professional!" Ai Yin said seriously, "Xiangzi, please answer me."

"What do you plan to do after I answer you?"

Yes, it's all a lie.

Because that's simply impossible. A community of shared destiny means handing over one's fate and life to the other—along with all the burdens weighing on one's body.

Ai Yin thought for a moment and said, "Not very good."

"what?"

"I'm only here to let Xiangzi and Su Shi meet. Any additional questions are just out of my personal curiosity... If Xiangzi doesn't want to reveal her difficulties, I won't tell anyone."

Difficulties? Xiangzi's eyes grew even colder: "Truly arrogant and condescending—"

"Is that Xiangzi who's all high and mighty?"

""

Aine bluntly stated, "Thinking that you are the only one who is right is arrogance."

"You don't do the same."

“Then tell me where I went wrong,” Aine said again.

Xiangzi couldn't bring himself to say it; doing so would expose everything he had experienced.

This guy, he's set traps everywhere in his words... She clenched her fist, then slowly relaxed it.

"Xiangzi, is the concept of a community of shared destiny a lie?" Aiyin asked.

"...That's right, it's a lie. How could a mere student possibly bear the weight of a person's life?"

"So, what's the deal with everyone at Crychic for you...?"

Xiangzi's tone remained unchanged: "They're just outsiders."

Having said all that, there's no turning back now, but I never intended for myself to have any way back anyway.

“You’re right, I should meet with Su Shi. Since she’s still dreaming of rebuilding Crychic, then I’ll personally crush her delusions.” Xiangzi’s face was resolute, without the slightest thought of backing down.

After saying that, she immediately took action, temporarily removing the shield from Su Shi.

The screen full of comments made Xiangzi raise an eyebrow, but she still typed a string of words in silence.

[Xiangzi: Let's meet at the park near Haneoka tonight.]

Xiangzi turned the blocking back on and put his phone away.

"Can you move aside?" she asked.

"Is this really good?"

Xiangzi took a breath: "Which side are you on?"

“I mean, even if we have to sever the relationship, there should be a better way,” Ai Yin said.

"...I don't understand what you're saying. I just want to end this myself. Get out of my way."

Xiangzi gave a gentle push, and Aiyin was pushed aside. She turned the doorknob and opened the door.

“Your wish has been fulfilled, hasn’t it?” Xiangzi said again.

""

Xiangzi glanced at her, then left without looking back.

Ai Yin, who remained where she was, watched her retreating figure, picked up her phone, and hesitated. Her goal had been achieved; all that remained was to witness Crychic's ending—Su Shi would undoubtedly be rejected by Xiang Zi and forced to reunite the band.

And that's why MyGO was born.

But is it really okay to just do this? She knew she could do other things.
