MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

However, Li Xi always felt that reorganizing Crychic was an impossible thing.

Because the band's core member—Shoko Toyokawa—left.

Without her, the band fell apart.

“And I can’t replace her,” Li Xi said softly.

Whether it's cohesion or technology.

If they really did form a new band, what would it be like?

Lixi couldn't imagine it. Her thoughts drifted back to the rainy day, dull and damp. If she were to form a band, she hoped at least one thing could be achieved.

Don't say nice things and then disband the group.

What community of shared destiny...?

Li Xi clicked his tongue: "It's just talk."

If they truly are a community of shared destiny, then at least they should explain their reasons for leaving the team.

With headphones on and the Magic Claw app open, Li Xi slurped down a few drinks and then sat in front of the computer, learning how to use the music production software.

Could Ai-yin get them all together for a proper talk? And after that, could they form a band again? — These questions are unanswerable right now, but when it comes to music, she doesn't want to stagnate.

Even without a band right now, she doesn't want to stop moving forward.

"Aine...."

Although it is very different from the song of the lamp.

However, the sense of confusion and anxiety contained in the song, and the feeling of continuing to move forward even so, resonated with Lixi.

"The melody also feels familiar..."

It's as if I would have written it myself.

Li Xi muttered, "It must be my imagination."

Another day of waking up in a luxury apartment on the 45th floor.

Su Shi slowly opened her eyes, stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, and then subconsciously picked up her phone and opened the chat app.

Xiangzi still didn't reply to her.

Not only that, but it also didn't show that it had been read.

This had happened countless times: wake up—check phone—still no reply. Su Shi opened her browser again and browsed the band's account, where there was a group photo of all the members.

If only we could turn back time to that day.

Even if it's just repeating that one day.

Turning off my phone, another face appeared in my mind.

Chihaya Aine... She was the girl I saw in my dream. Thanks to her, Suze now knows that the lead singer, Takamatsu Akari, who also went missing, is currently at Haneoka Girls' Academy.

"Aine...."

She wanted to invite Lamp to join her band.

Will the lantern festival agree?

If so, then the revival of Crychic is impossible.

"Everyone has to be here." Su Shi bit her nail.

Now that Xiangzi has left the band, she will chase after him. If someone else had left the band, she would have done the same.

No one can be missing, otherwise we can't go back to those bright and warm days of the past.

Decided.

After school, they would go to Haneoka Girls' Academy and wait at the gate.

We need to talk to Deng first.

Su Shi stood in front of the sink, her reflection in the mirror, and she subconsciously touched her hair.

"In the end, I don't even know why I had that kind of dream."

But it doesn't matter.

Su Shi recalled that wisp of pink hair and said with a resolute expression, "I don't need your warmth."

Lunch break at Tsuki no Mori Academy.

"Xiao Mu, I've found the light."

The light green-haired girl, referred to as "Muku," paused for a moment, then continued watering the plants in silence.

She guessed that the cucumbers here should be growing soon, and her expression softened as a result.

Su Shi ignored Mu's reaction and smiled gently, saying, "Once we find Xiao Xiang, everything will be back to normal."

""

"I can't wait!"

Mu still didn't answer, but simply put the kettle down.

"It would be even better if Xiao Mu could tell me where Xiao Xiang is. You know where she lives, right?"

Mu remained silent.

"Xiao Mu, don't you want those old days to come back to us? I still remember how you smiled when we went to the karaoke bar," Su Shi said softly, her eyes slightly narrowed, as if she found that scene very beautiful.

"I"

Mu still couldn't bring himself to speak.

The preparatory bell rang, announcing the end of lunch break.

Su Shiyi looked at him and said, "Shall we go back to class?"

"....Um."

The afternoon classes ended in the blink of an eye, and it was time to go home. Su Shi and He Mu walked together toward the school gate.

"Are those students from Yuqiu?"

"Really? Yuu-oka's school uniform is pretty good too."

Yuqiu? Su Shi paused, recalling the pink-haired girl she had encountered before.

Mu asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"No. I'm probably just overthinking it."

That girl has no reason to come here unless she's the type to beg relentlessly, even after being rejected. Su Shi doesn't want to see that happen.

Being the center of attention is not necessarily a good thing.

But the moment she stepped out of the school gate.

"Ah, here comes Su Shi!"

"Oh my god." Su Shi sighed inwardly. It really was her; she really had come to find her.

Seeing Ai Yin jogging over, attracting the attention of others, Su Shi felt slightly displeased, but still pretended to be gentle and asked:

"It's you. What's wrong?"

"Deng and Lixi hope you can come over here!"

"Eh?"

She was just about to block the door.

If Deng and Lixi were both there, then—Su Shi couldn't help but turn her head to look at Mu, but Mu had already walked away without saying a word, seemingly having no intention of getting involved in this matter at all, which made her purse her lips.

Ai-yin smiled and said, "Is that alright?"

"...You know about us?"

"I know, you two used to be in the same band, right?"

Su Shi said softly, "If that's the case, then why did you help?"

She didn't believe that Lixi and Deng had offered the invitation on their own initiative.

"The reason, huh?"

Ai Yin smiled gently: "Because I want to form a band with Su Shi!"

what?

Is that the reason? Su Shi almost couldn't keep up her act, and she took a deep breath.

impossible.

She has made up her mind that she will absolutely not team up with Aine.

"I'm sorry, I won't agree."

Ai Yin smiled without fading: "Then at least have a good talk with them, right? They are all my friends, and no matter what happens to the band, I hope my friends can get out of this depression."

Treating me gently like this won't work. Su Shi thought to herself.

Su Shi grabbed his arm: "...Where are they?"

Chapter 11 Gravity Sword Princess Takamatsu Akari

Inside RiNG's second-floor café, Deng sat somewhat nervously in a corner, while Lixi looked at her and muttered:

"It's really coming."

Not long ago, Ai Yin ran straight here with the light on and said:

"Wait for me!" and then disappeared again.

Li Xi had to admire her physical strength; perhaps Ai Yin would be better suited to the school's track and field club than to be in a band.

What should she say to the lamp now?

Having finally met, Li Xi stammered as she spoke, "Deng... it's been a long time."

"Um...."

Then there was another silence.

What should she say? Li Xi felt a headache coming on; if Deng didn't speak, she wouldn't know how to start.

Is Li Xi a friend of Aine?

"What?" Li Xi was stunned for a moment.

Deng looked up, curious, and said, "Aine said she wanted to introduce me to her friends, so she brought me here. I didn't expect to see Lixi... You two seemed to get along quite well..."

"I haven't known her for long, but she's quite outgoing."

"We're just friends, right?"

To say whether we're friends or not, I guess we could barely be considered friends.

Lixi didn't want to continue the topic, so she changed the subject: "Would you like something to drink? The menu is here."

"Then... black tea."

"Okay, I'm treating you."

Just as Deng was about to say no, Lixi turned around and started preparing.

"Lixi is still the same as always..." she muttered to herself, relaxing a little. If Lixi was too different from the one she remembered, she really wouldn't know how to start a conversation.

But Aine specifically dragged me here to meet Lixi, could it be that she wants to...?

Her heart leaped again as soon as she put the lamp down. The image etched in her mind flashed before her eyes once more. She lowered her head and gripped the hem of her dress tightly.

"Alright." Lixi placed the black tea in front of her.

"Ugh, Ai-yin is so slow."

Lixi shrugged: "Yeah, I really don't know where she ran off to—"

The words stopped abruptly.

Deng couldn't help but raise her head, following Li Xi's surprised gaze toward the door, and suddenly stood up: "Su Shi!"
