Mygo, you guys seem to be getting a bit heavy-hearted.

Yanming nodded and continued, "Then, my answer is, 'Seize every opportunity you can.'"

"..."

"Of course, the judgment is up to you. I'm just offering suggestions, and I hope my words won't influence your decision."

After saying this, Yanming focused intently on the road and pedestrians.

...I have to make a choice again.

Xiangzi buried her head in Yanming's back, trying to find that sense of security that belonged only to her.

The reasons Yanming gave were actually very simple, but before today, Xiangzi had been avoiding this problem that had existed since that day.

When a person faces a conflict between the "past" and the "future," which one is more important?

Most people, after careful consideration, will resolutely pursue the latter and abandon the former.

Although this choice may cause them distress for a long time, or even leave them with resentment for life.

But the idea that 'tomorrow is always a little more important than yesterday' is more in line with the public's thinking. A bright future is enough to make countless people cut ties with the past.

As for what choice Xiangzi should make, her reason told her that this was not a question of equal balance between the two sides.

"...Yanming, slow down a bit, I need to make a phone call."

Chapter 121 Chihaya Allin.

"Hey, Saki~ Did you miss me? Don't love me too much, okay? After all, we'll see each other tomorrow..."

Xiangzi interrupted Miaomeng's playful remarks: "I have something come up tomorrow, so you'll have to go to scout the location yourself."

"Huh? This...this isn't right, is it? I can't handle all those things by myself. If it weren't for Xiangqin, Watashi—"

Without turning his head, Yanming said, "Xiao Xiang, let me do it."

"Huh? Okay."

Trust led Xiangzi to place the phone to Yanming's ear without much thought.

"Hello, this is Yanming."

"Ah, Yanming, Xiangzi is..."

"Xiao Xiang is going on a date with me tomorrow, so could I trouble you for a bit? I'll treat you to dinner later."

"?! What the heck..."

So soon...

"Meow Dream Kiss?"

"I can hear you, I can hear you. Have fun, and tell Xiangqin to relax completely about Teacher Da Miao. Tell her it's fine if she doesn't come the day after tomorrow!"

Miaomeng said cheerfully.

Subsequently.

The phone slammed down.

Xiangzi: "..."

"Never mind anything else, at least the efficiency is very high, right? Anyway, that's how she's always seen us."

"……Too."

Open.

I don't care about being misunderstood.

It's like a room in a comic where you can't leave without doing something. Once you're inside, whether or not you actually did anything becomes irrelevant. What really matters is what others think.

Of course, there was nothing between the two of them.

It's a perfectly normal and healthy landlord-tenant relationship.

"Now that the choice has been made..."

Yanming asked, "Do you need me to prepare things for your stay at Nagasaki classmate's house? Although they probably have some too, it's better to bring your own."

"They won't be letting you stay overnight!"

Yanming pursed his lips: "Hard to say."

He didn't know the temperament of these young people.

There's a bit of initial awkwardness and politeness when you meet, but once you start having fun, you won't care about anything else.

They're all friends who play in bands, and they've been through all those ups and downs together. Considering Xiao Xiang's hidden chuunibyou personality, once they get into it, they might not even have to wait until the next day before all five of them worship Guan Yu and form a sworn brotherhood.

"Yanming!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more, lest you complain that I'm being long-winded. You can handle it yourself."

That's what he said, but Yanming couldn't help but add, "Remember to send them a message in advance, don't just show up there, that would be impolite."

"I understand, Mommy Yanming!"

Tsk.

Sigh, the rebellious phase, sigh.

……

……

……

Well, the problem is coming.

Who is this beautiful girl with long, delicate pink hair that is even more beautiful than a tulip, who is preparing to say goodbye to her terrible study abroad experience and step into a brand new campus life?

That's right, it's me!

Chihaya Aine tidied her appearance in front of the bathroom mirror, while putting the glasses she had changed out of into her pocket.

"Finally, I'm going to meet my new classmates. I wonder what kind of people they will all be? ... I really hope I can get along well with them."

Since it was close to class time, there were no students in the restrooms or hallways.

"Well... as long as I don't happen to run into any of my middle school friends, everything will be fine..."

The pink-haired beauty murmured softly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, before quickly disappearing as the teacher urged her from the doorway.

"Chihaya-kun? Class is about to start, and you'll need to introduce yourself to your classmates."

Ai Yin composed herself and flashed a bright and cheerful smile. Her playful fangs looked especially harmonious under her radiant smile, adding a touch of charm and innocence to the girl's outstanding temperament: "Sorry, teacher, I'm sorry. I was just a little nervous, but I've calmed down now!"

"Really? Don't be nervous, the kids in my class are all very good."

The homeroom teacher took a liking to this outstanding student with an excellent resume and said kindly to her, "Shall we go?"

"Okay! Teacher!"

……

"Hello everyone, my name is Chihaya Aine. Due to family reasons, I enrolled at this rather unusual time. I hope we can get along well!"

Chihaya Aine's confident and fluent Japanese self-introduction drew applause from the audience.

"Chihaya-kun, your seat is the very back."

"Ok."

Everything went very smoothly!

The girl politely responded to each of her new classmates' greetings while looking forward to her future school life.

The future is bright! (Applause)

"..."

Huh? On this child's desk?

These stones...

"what……"

Chihaya Aine snapped out of her daze and gave the girl who was looking at her an awkward smile. "Hello, nice to meet you."

"Um……"

The faint sound was easily overlooked if one wasn't paying attention, but this murmur still reached Ai-yin's ears amidst the noisy classroom.

"Hello, I am... Takamatsu Akari, nice to meet you, Chihaya-kun."

Her shoulder-length gray hair accentuated her pair of bright, amber eyes, making them appear even more fragile and precious. This captivating beauty instantly stole Aine's attention.

So cute...like a little animal.

"Chihaya-san? We're about to start our class meeting, please go back to your seats."

Aiyin only snapped out of her daze when all the teachers and classmates turned to look at her, and sat down in her seat dejectedly.

Takamatsu lamp... and the stone on her table...

I'm a little concerned about it.

……

The morning classes passed quickly, and because she had prepared in advance, Ai-yin was able to keep up with the teacher's pace.

"Sasha——"

I copied down the last paragraph of notes, and then the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

The class immediately became lively after the teacher announced the end of get out of class.

Although she didn't yet know what her classmates' personalities were like, at least... the familiar language made the girl feel a little more at ease.

"Is the lamp going to the astronomy club again?"

"Um……"

lamp……

Chihaya Aine's nerves were struck by that word, and her gaze followed it.

Sure enough, it was the kid who sat in front of me.

Holding a bento box, with no companions around, are you planning to eat lunch by yourself?

The classmates who greeted Deng seemed easy to talk to... I should try to communicate with them.

"that……"

Ai Yin put on her signature smile, took the bento box and walked over, "Excuse me, may I eat with you?"

"Of course, let's eat together!"

"welcome!"

"Thank you~"

Ai Yin smiled and pulled over her chair to sit in an empty seat.

The most urgent task is to use my status as a transfer student to quickly start a conversation, steer the topic to myself, and at the same time build good relationships with them.

...That's how it should be.

But for some reason, that petite figure suddenly appeared in my mind at this moment and wouldn't leave.

Even the words I had planned to say got stuck in my throat and I forgot them in the blink of an eye.

Chapter 122 Void Guitar Lead Singer.

"Chihaya-kun, nice to meet you."

Chihaya-san...

This name reminded Aine of some embarrassing memories.
