MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

It's dangerous not to feel lost.

Only when we are confused do we think, and only by thinking can we make further progress.

The band carries each other's wishes and goals, and no matter whose wishes they are, they cannot be ignored.

So she plans to go back early for individual training to catch up with everyone's skills and Li Xi's ideas.

But Li Xi is really amazing, considering such far-sighted and realistic things.

Who knows, maybe Riki is actually the real captain of MyGO. Aine thought to herself as she left the cafe.

""

Aiyin gradually disappeared from sight on the stairs.

Su Shi sipped her red tea: "If you want to talk to her, just go after her. Keeping your true feelings hidden isn't good for anyone."

"How did you..." Li Xi asked in surprise.

How do you know?

“I’m better at observing people,” Su Shi replied casually, and that was indeed the truth.

Just like Aine. But this fact, which she shares with Aine, sometimes makes her feel helpless.

Lixi hesitated for a moment, then jogged after him.

She wanted to know what Aine really thought about her suggestion.

If possible, she also wants Aine's support.

Stepping out of RiNG, Lixi looked around and successfully spotted Aiyin.

"like--"

She was about to run over when she noticed several unfamiliar figures standing in front of Aine. One of them was even wearing the Moon Forest school uniform.

Who?

I never expected to meet them here! Aine was taken aback.

"Eh? Chihaya?"

"What a coincidence! But aren't you in England?"

Not long after leaving RiNG, she ran into several familiar faces.

They were her junior high school classmates, and they were quite close... However, after returning from England, she stopped contacting them, and her personal account also stopped sending new messages.

Instead, they created new social media accounts.

Because we have to start all over again.

Ah, Aine noticed keenly that one of them was wearing the school uniform of Tsuki no Mori. Sure enough, it was the same this time around; the other person had successfully passed the entrance exam for Tsuki no Mori, the school she wanted to attend.

awesome.

"And this uniform is from Yuuki, right? There shouldn't be a Yuuki in England...?" one of the students asked, quite confused.

"Could it be that Chihaya, you—"

Oh dear, how embarrassing!

But it's not something that needs to be hidden anymore.

Ai Yin scratched her face and chuckled dryly, "As you can see, I'm back from over there."

"You're back? Why?"

"this one"

What's the best way to answer this?

Even if we're going to tell the truth, we can say it in a less lame way! Ai thought to herself, nodding to herself, she already had an idea.

But just then, a hand grabbed Aine's arm.

Who? Ai Yin turned around in surprise and met Li Xi's gaze.

"Riki? What are you doing here...?"

The female students looked at each other in confusion. Was this Hanasaki Kawa's school uniform? Did she know Aine?

"Let's go, there's no need to say anything," Li Xi said in a deep voice.

Aine hurriedly said, "Wait, Riki—"

But before she could finish speaking, Li Xi pulled hard, and Ai Yin was taken away from the scene.

Even without turning around, she could feel the half-curious, half-confused gazes of her junior high classmates.

This scene is so familiar. Aine thought to herself, "It was the lamp that did this on my first playthrough, but now it's Riki."

Lixi didn't take her to an aquarium, but to a nearby park.

"They meant no harm," Ai Yin said softly. Li Xi seemed to care about her, which was why she forcibly dragged her away.

"That's why I hurt people," Li Xi whispered.

""

Lixi noticed that he was still holding Aiyin's arm, so he quickly let go.

She seemed to have used too much force, leaving faint marks on Aine's skin, though they were not very clear in the setting sun.

Ai-yin touched her arm and said, "I just revealed my embarrassing past in front of so many people, do you really think I can't handle something like that?"

"So you think I did something wrong?" Li Xi asked, frowning.

"I didn't say that."

However, if we meet again later, there will be more things to explain.

For example, who is Li Xi, what is his relationship with Li Xi, where does his band perform... just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Aine let out a breath and smiled, "Riki was worried about me, wasn't she? Thank you!"

“...It’s precisely because there was no malice, just curiosity, that I feel uncomfortable,” Li Xi said in a low voice.

She knew this feeling very well.

"People just ask casually and forget about it as soon as they turn their backs."

I've been through this countless times.

"Only I, like an idiot, kept this in my heart, and the scene kept flashing through my mind. Curiosity killed the cat, but it's even easier to hurt people."

“I wasn’t angry because of their curiosity. Not everyone will react in a way that doesn’t hurt the other person’s feelings, so they did nothing wrong,” Aine said.

She herself cannot guarantee that she can continue to do this.

If there's anything wrong with me, it's only myself who was wrong for making those outrageous statements in the past.

This is what it feels like to be hit in the face with a boomerang.

"But I don't want you to experience that kind of thing." Lixi couldn't control her mouth.

"Eh?"

The next instant, Li Xi realized what she had said and pursed her lips.

Sometimes, it's impossible to control what you want to say or not say. And she could never control her mouth, often saying things that left even herself bewildered.

Ai Yin stood with her hands behind her back and said softly, "...Thank you. Actually, I was quite embarrassed just now."

Facing your own embarrassing past doesn't mean you won't feel awkward.

"Riki was really cool just now, just like the protagonist in a TV drama!" Aine said with a slight blush.

Li Xi shook her head, embarrassed, and said, "I'm not the protagonist."

If he were the main character, he would probably do even better.

The two then fell silent. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the fountain. Ai Yin looked at Riki's face and let out a long sigh.

"Hmm~"

"What are you doing? Why are you making that strange noise all of a sudden?"

Aine nodded her head: "I just think Riki is really pretty~"

"Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden?" Li Xi raised an eyebrow.

"I'm serious."

"Therefore, the meaning becomes even more unclear."

Being complimented on her looks won't make her happy.

Li Xi was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "I'm looking for you because of the new song I mentioned."

"What happened to that?"

"...Do you support me?" Li Xi asked anxiously, but she had to ask no matter what.

Ai Yin asked, puzzled, "Didn't I say I supported it?"

“What did you say? I think you would love to hear your old songs played live... but what I want are new songs, melodies and vocals that you are not familiar with. So I'm worried that you might not be able to accept them.”

"I see." Ai Yin smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. Of course I can accept it."

Li Xi's expression brightened slightly: "Really?"

"It's more accurate to say there's no need to refuse. As for the reason, Riki, you've explained it very clearly. In order to keep going, we can't just follow the predetermined path of the first time loop and keep playing the songs from the first time loop."

"And I believe that Riki will not abandon those songs, it's just that they are no longer the main focus."

“I believe in Riki,” Aine said again.

Lixi didn't know how to respond, only feeling her face and ears getting hot.

Am I going to catch a cold too?

"...Why didn't you tell me this sooner? I was worried for ages," Li Xi complained.

"Now that I've said it, and I haven't objected, that means I've accepted it."

Li Xi was even more dissatisfied: "Your attitude is so vague, who knows what you're really thinking?"

"Yes, yes, it was my fault," Aine said, shifting her gaze.

That's really perfunctory.

Lixi took a breath and whispered, "But I'm so happy..."

Being able to understand her thoughts and offer support. Nothing is more important than that.

“Riki has always been supportive of me, so I can’t accept all of this on my own.”

“...I see.” Li Xi said gently.

"That's right, but Riki, don't push yourself too hard."

Li Xi nodded vaguely. What exactly constitutes forcing oneself?

If you can only move forward by forcing yourself, then it's better to just keep going, right?

But she didn't say these things out loud.

I can do it. Even if I can't, I have to. There's always a way. Lixi was determined to create songs that truly belong to them!

"Let's go home then," Li Xi said with a sigh.

Homework can be done casually, the important thing is composing.

"Does Riki mean you're going to send me back?" Aine smiled.

"I didn't say that."

"Can't you give me a ride home? Riki always takes Tomorin home, I'd like to be taken home once too." Aine's tone was light and airy, it was hard to tell if she meant it sincerely or just said it casually.

Li Xi sighed: "If it's just about taking you back, that's fine too."

"Really? That works!" Aine exclaimed, somewhat surprised.

"Can we hold hands?" Aine couldn't help but ask curiously.

"No."
