MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

As bandmates, even if we don't know what the future holds, we must have the determination to move forward through the fog. Even if we get lost, we'll stay together, and it doesn't matter if we can't find our destination.

The most important thing is "together".

Aine bit her lip, and the lamp extended an invitation to her once again, inviting her to get lost together.

But this is not what I want.

This is not the "togetherness" I want.

Aine instinctively gripped the lamp tightly.

The sudden increase in pressure made Deng purse her lips. She was prepared for Aine to be angry, but she also clenched her fist back defiantly.

“…I see.”

Aine wasn't angry; she just sighed as if she had expected it.

“I will not accept it,” she said.

The lamp pleaded, "But I hope you can accept it..."

Even so, I will still say no.

Ai-yin spoke calmly and without hesitation, rejecting the lamp's request. No matter how many times the lamp pleaded, she would not accept.

Instead, she had something else to announce.

"Tomorin thinks being friends is better, right? Better than forming a band. Since that's the case—"

Ai Yin said earnestly, "I'll prove to you that it's better to be in a band for life than simply being friends for life!"

prove?

How can you prove it? A look of confusion appeared on Deng's face.

"...Aine, you didn't have to do that."

"Is necessary."

By saying that, you are negating everything I have done all along.

Ai-yin took a breath and loosened her grip slightly, but still held the lamp in her hand, which was not surprising even though her palms were sweaty.

“I will prove it,” Ai Yin emphasized again.

The lamp remained silent, its heart filled with unease.

Aine saw through her feelings and said with a heavy heart, "If Tomorin feels uneasy, then try to stop me."

"Prevent...."

“Well, the best way to stick to something is to take action. Since tomorin wants to prove that being just friends is better than being in a band, then let’s think about how to do it,” Aine said.

The lamp lowered its head and began to think seriously.

Ai Yin silently looked away.

But no matter how the lamp is made, she will not change her mind.

Therefore, whatever the lamp does is in vain.

Chapter 43 The Victim, Li Xi

"Then, come visit Tomorin's house again next time!"

"Hmm... I'm really looking forward to it."

Aine waved cheerfully, bidding farewell to the lamp. Overall, she had a great time today, and although they disagreed at the end, Aine believed it was only temporary.

When she got home, she immediately collapsed onto the bed.

"Let's go find Lena tomorrow."

If she can get Lena into the band, she'll find a way to get the lights in too.

Ai Yin took out her phone; the battery was almost dead, but she still wanted to watch some videos, so she opened the app to check out this season's fashion trends.

Tomorin invites you to join the group chat...

Ok?

Ai Yin paused for a moment, then opened the window.

It really was Deng who sent the invitation, and the group chat she created was called "Friends for Life".

The overwhelming sense of gravity didn't bother Ai Yin; what she didn't understand was why the lamp had suddenly created a group chat on its own.

Could this be the idea that Deng came up with to prove that lifelong friendship is better than a lifelong band?

"It wouldn't be a problem if you joined..."

Rather, if I didn't add it, the lamp would definitely be sad. Aine prepared to press "Accept".

next second.

[Lixi:? 】

Lixi sent her a separate question mark.

The next second, the phone rang.

Caller ID: Soyorin — of course, this is a name that Ai Yin specially saved for her.

Wow, they're all here!

"They probably found out what I said to Tomorin," Aine muttered.

As soon as the call connected, Su Shi's voice came through from the other end.

"What happened?" she asked casually.

"what do you mean?"

"Did you say something to Deng? Otherwise, why would she suddenly want to create a group chat, and with such a name...?"

Although Su Shi's tone didn't imply any questioning, but rather a simple inquiry, Aine was still somewhat dissatisfied. Why did Li Xi and Su Shi both rush over to ask her first?

Therefore, Aine didn't hold back: "Didn't you ever consider that Tomorin might have come up with it himself?"

"Not too possible."

"So it's very likely that it was me who did it?"

"Ah."

Surprisingly, she answered "yes".

Ai Yin was even more dissatisfied, and said nonchalantly, "Why don't you just ask Tomorin directly, since you suspect me so much?"

Su Shi hesitated before asking, "...Are you in a bad mood?"

"Not really."

I didn't mean to question you.

"Then why did you call me so quickly?" Ai Yin asked, rolling around on the bed.

"...Can't we call without a reason?"

Hmm? Aine didn't know how to answer that question; it was truly contradictory.

She didn't necessarily need a reason to call; she often called Lixi without any reason at all.

Although she would often respond with a "Huh?" or "Sigh" at first, unlike her tone, Lixi would always patiently finish talking to her... well... most of the time, no, halfway through?

Ai Yin's voice was light and cheerful: "But your first question was asking me what I did, wasn't it? Is that what you call having no reason?"

Don't be so petty.

"Is it Soyorin whose words are contradictory? Ah, could it be that he's been wanting to call me but didn't have a reason, and now he does—"

Su Shi said in a low voice, "You're overthinking it."

"--That's true, after all, Soyorin hates me, why would anyone call someone they hate?" Aine said deliberately.

She hadn't forgotten what Su Shi had said before—that she disliked her.

""

Su Shi's deep breathing could be heard clearly.

Then he let out a long sigh.

"...If I really hated you, I wouldn't ride the tram with you."

Ai Yin was somewhat surprised, and a little embarrassed: "I know that..."

Su Shizhen dislikes her, so she won't accept her invitation, won't accompany her on a long detour, and won't call her.

But Su Shi's directness felt somewhat strange, though I couldn't quite put my finger on why...

""

""

The subtle silence didn't last long before Su Shi continued, "But I wouldn't say I like her."

"Huh?" Ai Yin said unhappily.

"Getting back to the point, so what happened?"

"Isn't this still a sign of doubt towards me?"

Having no other choice, Aine told Su Shi the general outline of what had happened.

Su Shi suddenly realized: "I see. In order to prove that lifelong friends are even better, Deng is planning to create a group chat first?"

"That's probably it."

"You really know how to make trouble for yourself. Will taking action with the lamp help your goals?" Su Shi asked casually, as if she was playing with her fingers on the other end of the call.

Ai stretched and exhaled, "No, but it's not bad either."

"is it?"

"Yes."

Su Shi said calmly, "What if I agree with Deng's idea and join her side? Anyway, I have no intention of joining your band."

"But isn't Soyorin practicing bass?"

"I didn't practice."

"Where's the sheet music?"

"Put it away."

Ai Yin was skeptical: "Oh~"

Su Shi said in a low voice, "...Your tone is really unpleasant. What's the point of lying to you?"

"Anyway, I think Deng's idea is right. We don't necessarily have to form a band. Anyway, we can still meet if we want to."

"In other words, if it weren't necessary, the lamp probably wouldn't change its mind."

What Su Shi said, Aine could certainly understand.

But she was surprised: "Soyorin, are you giving me advice?"

"No, I'm just stating my opinion on the matter at hand."

"Yes, yes," Ai-yin replied casually.

This seemed to displease Su Shi even more. She said in a low voice, "I also think there's no need to form a band."

"But I want to form a group."

“You’re really only thinking about yourself,” Su Shi said.

Ai Yin said frankly, "I don't deny it."

"They really have thick skin—"

The sound stopped abruptly, as if the speaker had thought of something.

Although Aine was curious as to why Su Shi suddenly stopped speaking, she still responded to the question first.

"Then soyorin——"
