MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

“No,” the lamp said softly again.

In fact, there are.

But she has to say no now; she doesn't want to accept such a painful future.

If Ai Yin were to tell her that this was one of the reasons she didn't want to form a band right now, Ai Yin might comfort her.

That gentleness would make her unable to resist reaching out her hand.

“I…I didn’t dream. Nor do I want to,” the lamp said again.

"Is it because of your old band?" Ai Yin confirmed.

"....Um."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I reminded you of something sad."

The lamp's melancholy is real; Aine can see it.

This genuine feeling blurred the line between lies and truth, and even Aine couldn't tell what was real and what was fake. The only thing she was clear about was one thing.

Takamatsu Akari will not be joining the band at the moment.

What's next?

Aine thought for a while and realized: I guess I'll have to go find someone else first.

Whether we need them to have a proper talk with Deng or something else, we have to find them.

Lixi, Sushi, and Lenai. Lixi works at the Livehouse "RiNG", so you're sure to meet her if you go there. Aine also knows exactly where Sushi lives.

While it's impossible to rush directly to Su Shi's house, pretending it's a chance encounter on the way...

No, right now Su Shi probably just wants to rebuild Crychic.

It's impossible to get her attention if you're not a long-time member of Crychic, like Aine.

Unfortunately, Li Xi had no intention of reorganizing Crychic, nor was she likely to be interested in her.

unless

Aine hesitated, thinking, "If I tell Rikki and Soyorin the name Tomorin, they'll probably react and say something, but then—"

How should I put it? I feel like I'm just like Su Shi.

Motoyo Nagasaki, their bassist initially wanted to form a band with Aine in order to use her to assemble the original members of Crychic, and then wait for the right opportunity to kick her and guitarist Ryuna out.

This is to fulfill the wish of "reviving Crychic".

The best way for her to attract Su Shi and Li Xi's attention is to mention the name "Gao Song Deng".

Using lights

Although in her first playthrough, she sought out the Light Group band to leverage the mascot status of the lights and make herself more popular, it was still a form of exploitation.

""

If only MYGO were just an ordinary band.

In that case, even if Aine quits, she won't feel pain; at most, she'll only feel regret and pity. And life is full of regrets, so what's one more?

There's no way—these three words are enough to turn the page on this chapter.

But MYGO isn't the kind of ordinary band you see everywhere. At least not to her, and not to everyone else.

The phrase "a band for a lifetime" carries such a heavy weight.

Even though the timelines are different, the vivid promise in my memory is like a brand, etched deep in my heart.

That's why Aine couldn't help but sigh.

That's really going too far.

"...I hope I don't remember either."

Ignorance is also a kind of bliss.

Ai Yin deeply agrees with this statement at this moment.

She doesn't regret making that promise with others, and she still does, except...

She is the only one who remembers this promise now.

Ai Yin let out a soft breath, thinking that she couldn't keep worrying like this. The best way to eliminate distracting thoughts was not to keep repeating things like "distracting thoughts and worries, please leave" in her mind.

Instead, they took action.

Even if you don't know where to go.

"Let's go check out RiNG after school!" Aine murmured.

Chapter 6 Analysis of Jokes

RiNG is the main livehouse for their band, which has a variety of facilities, including a café for relaxation, a recording studio, and even a place to sell musical instruments on the first floor.

It can be described as extremely luxurious.

Aine stepped inside, instinctively searching for familiar figures. She went up to the second-floor café but couldn't find anyone she knew.

Li Xi doesn't seem to be there.

Their drummer, Shiina Tatsuki, works here. If you don't see her at the front desk, maybe she's backstage? Aine thought to herself, ordered a cup of black tea, and then sat down to wait.

But half an hour passed, and Lixi still hadn't appeared.

It seems she didn't come to work today.

That's really bad luck.

Aiyin grabbed her schoolbag and started walking downstairs. Out of the corner of her eye, a brown figure flashed by.

Ai Yin turned her head sharply and stared intently: long brown hair fell over her shoulders, and her azure eyes casually swept around. But what was most striking, besides her gentle and beautiful face, was the black school uniform she was wearing.

It's the uniform of the Moon Forest... that girls' academy where rich young ladies gather.

It's Su Shi!

There's always a way out! Aine was overjoyed; surely there wouldn't be any more accidents this time?

She gripped the handrail, hesitated for a few seconds, and then approached Su Shi.

Once all the members of MYGO are together and the band is formed, she will find an opportunity to properly apologize to Deng! The most important thing is for everyone in MYGO to return to the band.

As for how to strike up a conversation, Aine already has an idea.

"Wow, they're students from Tsuki no Mori!"

"Ok?"

Su Shi looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pink-haired girl coming towards him, her eyes sparkling with curiosity.

The students of Moon Forest often attract attention, which is not surprising, after all, they are all young ladies who have money even without status, a world that ordinary students can hardly enter.

If you have no money and no status, then you have no choice but to leave Moon Forest.

But when Su Shi saw Ai Yin's face clearly, she couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly.

"she is"

It's someone who appeared in my dream.

Motoyo Nagasaki recently had a dream.

In her dream, she stood on a stage with Lixi, Deng, and two complete strangers, playing a piece she had never heard before. The piercing light was so intense, so clear, so dazzling that it made her eyes burn and brought tears to her eyes uncontrollably.

In fact, she did shed tears.

When I woke up, I found my face covered in tears and my pillow was soaked.

It's unbelievable, and a little scary at the same time—why am I playing music with two strangers in my dream?

Why was I standing on that stage, silently crying like an idiot?

“That’s not me,” Su Shi murmured.

What she wanted was Crychic.

What I long for are those warm and beautiful times from the past.

"How could I possibly form a band with someone else?"

As Su Shi spoke, her hand unconsciously pinched a strand of hair near her cheek. All the sensations in the dream were incredibly real; even fully awake, she could clearly remember the warmth of the light, the gazes of other people, and—

The gentle smile of that pink-haired girl.

Her fingertips gently pinched Su Shi's hair and slid it down, as if saying "Welcome back," with utmost tenderness.

return?

"No... that was just a dream..."

"The only thing I want to go back to is Crychic."

She didn't recognize the kind of amateur band she dreamed of.

But the beating of her heart was too loud. Su Shi sat up, sighed, and instinctively picked up her phone. Not only to check the time, but also to look at her chat history.

Click on the chat window labeled "Xiangzi".

[Su Shi: Xiao Xiang, it's been so long, but everyone still misses you. If possible, could we meet up and have a proper talk?]

[Su Shi: If you have any difficulties, we can help you!]

[Su Shi: So, could you consider it? Xiao Mu also really wants to go back to Crychic, back to the days when everyone was laughing.]

There was no read receipt and no reply.

It was only her one-sided outpouring of information.

Su Shi stared quietly at her phone screen. As always, since the band disbanded, she hadn't received any response from the keyboardist... who was also the core of Crychic, Toyokawa Shoko.

As long as Xiangzi, the core member, returns, the old band will be revived.

Could it be blocked? Su Shi thought to herself in an instant.

"H-How is that possible...?"

She bit her nails.

impossible.

She quickly typed: "Last night I had a dream that I was in another band, and Lixi, Deng, and I... were all there. But that's impossible. For me, the only band I want to stay in forever is—"

The fingers stopped.

This is practically saying: If Xiangzi doesn't come back soon, we're going to form another band.

It might backfire.

Su Shi silently deleted all the text she had typed.

"Even if I formed another band, it definitely wouldn't be out of genuine feeling..."

Su Shi lay back down.

"I won't cry like an idiot."

That was just a dream.

Yes, but Meng Sushi closed her eyes and murmured, "But that warm feeling..."

How wonderful! She couldn't help but think to herself.

She rarely saw her mother in the morning; her mother was always busy and sometimes couldn't even come home.

Su Shi had long since adapted to living alone; there were no inconveniences or things to complain about.

Making money is hard.

Su Shi understood this very well, and all she could do was try her best to put her mother at ease.

Even so, the apartment was still too big. So big that it was a bit cold.

After changing into her uniform, she would take the tram to school, learn new things, chat with classmates, and help with chores. Before she knew it, it was time to go home. At this time, Su Shi would often stop by a shop to kill some time.

But for some reason, she really wanted to go to a livehouse today.
