We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

now,

Shoko Toyokawa is playing the piano at home.

Nagasaki Motoyo had just finished packing what she needed to bring tomorrow and also tidied up the clutter in her house.

If Ye Mu is taking a lunch break

Nanon Ugetsu was also taking a midday break.

Tokyo looked no different in the afternoon.

Time seemed to have been slowed down, and the city was drowsy in the sunlight.

Time passed slowly, and the light gradually changed from golden to orange-red, with the horizon beginning to burn.

The city's shadow grew longer and longer, and the buildings outside the window resembled a row of silent behemoths, disappearing into the darkness.

Night gradually descended.

Nan Yunyu took a long nap; it had been a long time since he had rested like this.

Perhaps because he had stayed up all night, he didn't wake up in bed until around 6:30.

He subconsciously woke up and opened his phone.

He didn't open the chat window with Ruoye Mu during his afternoon nap.

At this moment, two new messages were quietly lying in the dialog box:

【16: 41】

【See you tomorrow】

……

【18: 12】

【See you tomorrow】

……

The sender of the message seemed to have waited a long time, and seeing that there was no reply, even resent it.

Nan Yun Yu Yue quickly typed a few lines:

Sorry, I just saw the message, I just woke up.

See you tomorrow, Wakaba-kun!

Chapter 64 Before the Music Festival (4k, please continue reading)

night,

Midnight,

dim light

Morning light...

As dawn broke, Nan Yun Yuyue had a habit of drawing the curtains before going to bed, but because they hadn't been closed properly last night, a faint halo of light seeped in through the gap in the curtains.

He rubbed his eyes, yawned, and then got out of bed.

Despite taking a long nap yesterday, he still followed his normal routine and went to bed on time last night.

He slept soundly and woke up in the morning.

"Today is the music festival..."

Nan Yun Yu Yue sighed.

"I never expected that as a transfer student, I would be involved in the most important event at the school as soon as I arrived at Moon Forest."

He washed up, prepared breakfast, ate quickly, and then went straight to school.

Today's Moon Forest is quite different from usual.

Unlike previous years when Tsukimori required students to wear school uniforms, today, due to an event, the school turned a blind eye and did not impose many restrictions.

In addition, since some bands and groups performing at the music festival need costumes and props, many people took this opportunity to change into their favorite outfits.

As soon as Nanon Ugetsu entered the school, he saw a girl wearing a modified version of her sailor uniform performance costume run past him.

"pretty good."

He sighed.

With some time still remaining before the performance officially begins, the bands scheduled to perform are making their final adjustments.

As Nan Yun Yuyue walked along, she even saw two girls smiling and touching up each other's makeup under the cherry blossom trees at school.

Of course, you can also see some teachers making their own appearance, carrying sound equipment and other supplies for the music festival, slowly walking towards the hall.

"Gui'an."

"Gui'an."

Nan Yun Yuyue greeted her classmates whom she met on the way.

He even ran into his geography teacher, who, despite her usually relaxed demeanor in class, had changed her outfit and looked much younger than before.

Originally, the teacher who wasn't involved in organizing the music festival could have taken a day off, but she decided to sneak into the students' activities to reminisce about her youth, and even told Nangumo Ugetsu with a smile that she must keep it a secret for her teacher.

"Forehead……"

Nan Yun Yuyue glanced at her attire and felt that even without her saying anything, others would immediately recognize that she wasn't a student.

But he still smiled and told the teacher that no one would be able to tell that he was dressed like that, which made the geography teacher very happy and he also walked into the hall.

Along the way, she encountered several classmates and even her teacher. After going around in circles, Nan Yun Yuyue finally arrived at the location of the plantation.

Sure enough, at the cucumber field, Nanon Ugetsu saw Wakaba Mutsuki's figure.

She appeared to have finished watering the cucumbers and had just hidden the watering can in a corner of the garden.

The moment Ruoye Mu raised her head, Nan Yun Yuyue happened to walk up to her side:

"They've grown so fast!"

Perhaps due to the owner's meticulous care, the cucumbers are growing vigorously. Compared to the previous visits by Nan Yun Yu Yue, the vines and small yellow flowers are much more lush, showing a vibrant scene.

Nan Yun Yu Yue tilted her head slightly.

At this moment, the sunlight gently fell on Ruoye Mutsu, and her fair cheeks glowed with a warm luster.

Ruoye Muku whispered:

"Um……"

"The temperature... has risen."

Nagumo Ugetsu nodded:

"That's true. Spring is almost over, and the temperature is much higher than before, so it's no wonder they're growing so fast."

Ruoye Mu nodded slightly in agreement.

She stared at it quietly for a while, as if imprinting every detail of the place she had watered into her mind, before looking at Nan Yun Yuyue:

"Walk……"

"it is good."

The two walked towards the junior high school building.

Before the music festival begins, apart from a few students who are preparing to perform on stage and are already waiting backstage in the auditorium, most students will go back to their classes to find their friends and then head to the auditorium together when it's almost time.

Nan Yun Yuyue pushed open the classroom's front door, and the noisy atmosphere, which had been blocked out by the soundproofing of the door, rushed towards her.

Cheers and chatter filled the classroom, and someone was even playing the harmonica. After she finished, she realized everyone was staring at her and gave an embarrassed smile.

He walked to the back of the classroom and sat down in his seat, just like Wakaba Mutsu.

After thinking for a moment, Nangumo Ugetsu still took out Natsume Soseki's "Kokoro".

With only a dozen or so pages left, he finished reading the entire book. The classroom was noisy, so he could use this time to read and pass the time.

He had just lowered his head when Ruo Yemu finished tidying up the drawer and then looked up.

click -

Shoko Toyokawa, who had just arrived at the classroom, pushed open the front door.

Ruoye Mu watched her until she returned to her seat before preparing to lower her head to read.

But to Wakaba Mutsu's surprise, Toyokawa Shoko stood up as soon as she put down her things.

?

I don't know if it was subconscious, or because I was looking at Xiangzi just now,

Ruo Yemu also stood up, his gaze continuing to follow her back.

Toyokawa Shoko seemed to hesitate for a moment, wondering whether to leave or sit down again.

After about three or four seconds, she turned around and her eyes met those of Wakaba Mutsu.

"Mu."

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then waved to Wakaba Mutsu.

So the two of them walked out of the classroom together and went to a spot by the window in the corridor.

Step—step—step

The two stood one behind the other.

Toyokawa Shoko kept looking out the window, while Wakaba Mutsu's gaze fell on Shoko, though his expression was indifferent and he didn't look anywhere else.

Without the shade of leaves, Toyokawa Shoko's delicate face was bathed in sunlight, her golden pupils sparkling.

After a long while, she murmured softly to Wakaba Mutsu:

"Mu... I just remembered... Today is Mother's birthday."

"Mu... I miss her."

Then, Toyokawa Shoko fell into a long silence.

boom!

If Ye Mu fully understood why Xiangzi had been so depressed lately, the scattered fragments of nightmares were only one of the reasons; the real and far-reaching factor was this incident.

Today is the birthday of Xiangzi's mother, Toyokawa Mizuho.

She recalled the scene at that funeral.

Although she had no feelings for her own mother, she could feel the overwhelming sadness that Toyokawa Shoko was experiencing at that time, as if it were about to engulf the whole world.

However, Ruo Ye Mu didn't know what to say, so he could only stand quietly and look at her without saying a word.

Toyokawa Shoko was still gazing out the window.

In the distance, the sky, which was originally bathed in sunlight, was gradually half-covered by the drifting clouds, casting a temporary shadow, which was then dispersed by the wind.

The wind suddenly picked up a bit, and the gust of air coming in from the window made her hair flutter slightly.

It wasn't until Toyokawa Shoko raised her hand and flicked her hair that it slowly fell down.

The next second, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears.

In Wakaba Mutsu's sight, a few tears silently slid down her cheeks.

"Xiang..."

Ruoye Mu said softly.

"fine."

Toyokawa Shoko wiped away her tears.

Those few tears weren't from the wind, but from the realization that her memories of her mother were becoming somewhat hazy.

The scenes I can recall are pitifully few; most are just fragmented images.

Only the scene at the end of the hospital's white corridor remains so clear in my memory, until finally everything fell silent.
