MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"Can't I look at you if there's nothing wrong? To think that just looking at you means I have something on my mind is really overthinking it."

But if there's nothing wrong, why stare at others? It's quite rude, after all.

You said it! Aine decided to watch it again.

"...Why are you looking at me?" Su Shi frowned slightly.

"No reason, just like Soyorin."

"You really have a lot of free time. Is the piece finished yet?" Su Shi picked up her teacup and subtly looked away.

"It's not really a piece of music, just a short melody, but I want to make more of it so that Riki has more options. Besides, if she's not satisfied, she'll definitely throw it away completely. I don't want that to happen."

As she spoke, Ai Yin lifted her hair and let it fall outside the blanket, otherwise it would be quite uncomfortable to be pressed down.

Honestly, Su Shi, couldn't you have helped a little? While covering me with the blanket.

"What about Soyorin?" Aine asked in return.

"Just like you."

"not tired?"

"Fortunately."

Su Shi paused for a moment, then put down her teacup: "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's alright, after all, it's something I wanted to do. If I had to do something I didn't want to do, that would be really tough," Aine said.

That's absolutely true. Su Shi deeply agrees.

"...But there's something I want to say, even if you might not like to hear it," Su Shi said softly.

"That depends on the content."

"—MyGO....The current band can be said to have been brought together by you, Ai Yin. Whether it's Deng, Li Xi, Le Nai, or me, we were all drawn in by you. This situation also happened in the past with Crychic."

It's Crychic again~ I'm not really interested in it, but I'll keep listening anyway.

"Then?"

"Xiangzi, who did the same thing, chose to leave the team, and Crychic, which was formed around her, has become what it is today."

Ai Yin lost even more interest: "Soyorin, don't mistake me for Xiangzi."

"I can't, you're even more impressive."

"Let them have it?"

Su Shi chose her words carefully: "...I feel a little helpless."

"What's the big deal?"

This assessment is rather strange.

"It's also a bit more infuriating."

Ai Yin said subtly, "Have you been particularly fond of making fun of me these days?"

"An illusion. Because it is a fact."

"That's called being sarcastic."

Aine cupped her face in her hands: "Is Soyorin worried about repeating the same mistake?"

"No, not really. I just thought of that, but... I do feel that this kind of relationship is rather fragile." Su Shi touched her hand.

She genuinely felt that MyGO would be different from Crychic.

But it's also true that I feel a little uneasy deep down.

This conflicting feeling made Su Shi sigh, but she wouldn't tell anyone other than Aine about it.

"So what are we doing now?" Ai Yin asked again.

"Weren't you staying up all night?"

Ai-yin pointed to the laptop: "This is it. We're trying to help Riki."

"From now on, if anyone encounters difficulties, the other four will definitely do their best to help... I was the one who wanted to form MyGO, but everyone else is the one who accepts me and wants to walk together with me."

No matter who gets the kill in the future, it will be a 1v4 situation.

Ai Yin merely connected them with a thread, forming a net.

"It wasn't me who came up with the solution, but everyone else."

The band members are responsible for maintaining this network.

Ai Yin put her hands on her hips and said, "If you're worried, then be gentler with me."

Su Shi said helplessly, "Why did the topic veer to this point?"

"Because that will motivate me even more!"

"I've been very gentle with you."

Aine protested, "No way! You've been criticizing me these past few days. Where's the gentleness? — Although you were quite gentle just now, Soyorin could have done even better."

That's really pushing their luck.

If you're a little gentle with her, she'll wag her tail and want more; if you give her too much, she'll take advantage of you and say things that make you angry.

It is extremely difficult to control this balance.

"That--"

Su Shi's gaze fell on Aine's face... and the strands of hair beside her.

"Let me touch your hair."

"Huh!? Why?" Aine exclaimed in surprise.

"In exchange, I'll be a little gentler with you. Just a little," Su Shi said softly.

Although it's only a little bit.

""

After a moment of silence, Aine nodded slightly. It was surprising that Su Shi would make such a request, but if it was just touching her hair, no problem.

Seeing that Aine agreed, Su Shi reached out, pinched a strand of hair near Aine's face, and slowly stroked it down.

It was as smooth as I had imagined.

The reason for touching her hair is simple: because Aine did it to her twice, twice in total, it's fair that she touches it back... or rather, it's unfair that Aine can do things that she can't.

nothing special.

To experience that feeling, you can touch your own hair. Su Shi lowered her hand.

“Soyorin.” But Aine grasped her hand.

"...I didn't ask you to hold my hand."

"But you said you would be gentler with me. If you can't even keep this small promise, how can I believe that Soyorin is willing to be in a band for the rest of his life?"

Su Shi frowned even more deeply.

She had said the same thing to Aine before, but she never expected that Aine would use it to retaliate against her.

“Having too good a memory can be a problem.” Su Shi loosened her grip, letting Ai Yin hold it.

Anyway, she won't take it back.

"Most of the time it's a good thing."

Ai Yin hummed a tune in a cheerful mood.

Upon hearing only the intro, Su Shi looked displeased: "Don't hum 'Spring Shadow'."

"I just thought Soyorin's hands were warm."

"...If you want to hold hands, please keep quiet."

"Ok."

P.S.: Is there some kind of event today? There are so many tickets!

Chapter 86 Space Sentai Gravranger

a few days later.

[Aine: Riki, are you free? There's something really important I have to tell you!]

What exactly does "something very important" refer to?

Li Xi couldn't figure it out, but since it was something that had to be said, he naturally had to keep the appointment and find out the truth.

Many days have passed since I stayed at Aine's house, but everything from that day is still vivid in my mind, crystal clear.

Even though the road ahead is full of thorns, she must move forward with a heavy heart.

When she arrived at the second floor of RiNG, she saw four people sitting at the same table.

"Ah, here I come! Over here~!" Ai Yin waved.

"What's the important matter?" Li Xi cut straight to the point without any pleasantries.

The four looked at each other, and all of them except Le Nai showed a hint of nervousness.

what happened?

Deng mustered her courage and handed over her phone: "Li-Li-Xi, I hope you can listen to this!"

"What's this? An audio file?"

The phone screen displayed four audio files in a folder: 1. Aiyin; 2. Deng; 3. Sushi; 4. Lenai, which was puzzling.

Why should audio files be named after them?

Looking at the others, Aine said just as earnestly, "Please, Riki!"

“You’ll understand after you hear it,” Su Shi said.

“It’s very interesting.” Lena nodded.

Lena said that being funny only gives people a bad feeling.

But it probably wasn't a prank.

So Lixi took the phone, put on the headphones, and opened the four audio files one after another.

Four distinct melodies echoed in my ears: one light and bright, one pure and straightforward, one that sounded varied but was actually gentle and melodious, and one that was completely unrestrained and free-spirited.

Without needing to say a word, Lixi immediately understood what it meant.

"song?"

Su Shi said softly, "Not really, just some fragments. There are others, you can look at the other folders."

Exiting to the previous level, there were indeed several more folders, and without exception, they all contained fragments of melodies.

Although they sound different, upon closer inspection, their styles are no different from the four that we just experienced.

Ai Yin smiled and asked, "How was it?"

"...What do you mean, how about it?" Li Xi muttered.

"This is a gift for Riki!"

Gift?

Li Xi's eyes widened in utter surprise: "The important thing you're talking about, is it—?"

“Yes, that’s it.” Su Shi nodded in agreement.

"Lixi has worked so hard all this time," Deng said, trying her best to express her feelings.

“We don’t mean to take your job,” Aine said.

"I just wanted to tell you something," Lena said softly.

"Wait, let me digest this."

Things happened so suddenly that Lixi hadn't fully processed it or sorted out her feelings. She had a feeling that the four people were about to say something that would make her want to run away.

No need to wait, we should strike directly against someone like Li Xi!
