Having been separated from Momoka for so long, the members of Diamond Dust were eagerly awaiting news of her.
It would be great if Momoka could take the initiative to contact them.
This is the greatest wish of them, as Momoka's closest friends.
Unfortunately, it has never been achieved even once so far.
"Don't take my phone! Honestly, it's not like I'm not letting you see it!"
Two fists can't fight four hands; Ms. Hina's battle to protect her phone ultimately ended in defeat.
The three, who had been making a ruckus, fell silent as the familiar figure and smile came into their view.
They never blamed Momoka
Seeing her long-lost smile, her friends finally felt relieved.
"The people in the photo are the members of Momoka's new band."
Miss Hina shared the information she had just learned with her teammates.
Bass, guitar, drums, keyboards, vocals
Through Hina's introductions, the members of each position gradually became known to the Diamond Dust crew.
"Who is that boy? He's clearly in the center of the photo."
As Momoka's best friend, Nana could immediately see through Momoka's overly intimate behavior towards the boy.
"Ah, that's him who sent the photo. He said he's just a friend of everyone in the band."
"Huh, looks like just a high school student~ Is Peach Canned Food trying to hook up with a younger guy?"
Nana's gossipy nature spilled out and then spread to all the members of Diamond Dust.
In the heat of the discussion, the messages Chen had sent earlier were ignored.
Ms. Hina's prolonged silence left Chen feeling uncertain about the situation.
If she's unwilling to help, Chen doesn't have any better options for the time being.
As a tentative step, Chen extended an invitation to meet in person.
"Ms. Hina, besides Nina, everyone in my band and I will be here tonight to see Diamond Dust's performance."
"Regarding Nina, do you have time to discuss this with us after the performance?"
"Rin-chan...who is that?"
Miss Ai, who loves to join in the fun, asked Hina a gossipy question.
"That brown-haired lead singer is..."
"Hey, is this Nina-san really that amazing? She actually managed to get Momoka to give up being a vocalist and focus on playing the guitar."
"Please introduce her to us, Hina. You should know this Ms. Renna, right?"
Ms. Hina didn't want to talk about whether they knew each other or not.
Taking advantage of Miss Ai's momentary lapse in attention, Miss Hina snatched the phone back from her.
Hina didn't want the band members to get involved in her problems with Nina.
They still need to meet; Ms. Hina is quite concerned about Nina.
As Ms. Hina's nimble fingers rapidly tapped across the screen, Chen finally received her reply.
"Sure, I'll come find you after the show. Let's meet at the venue entrance."
"Okay, thank you, Ms. Hina. We'll enjoy the Diamond Dust show from the audience."
The initial communication was complete, and Ms. Hina was about to put her phone away. However, her teammates' requests forced her to reopen the chat window.
"Hina! We'll go with you to see them! Please ask if the peach preserves are coming!"
In the chat log, the boy mentioned that "everyone in the band" would come to see Diamond Dust's performances.
The hope of seeing Momoka is within reach; Nana, Rin, and Ai realize that this is their only chance.
They felt it was their duty to rebuild their friendship.
Ms. Hina, who was also a fan of Momoka, readily agreed to the three's request and sent a message to Chen inquiring about it.
"Sister Taoxiang doesn't want to come; I already asked her."
The cold, impersonal messages that appeared in the chat shattered the four people's hopes.
The three people besides Ms. Hina decided to accompany her after the performance.
Even if I can't see Momoka, I can still learn about her current situation from her teammates.
They also had a great deal of interest in this boy who clearly had a special status.
Maybe we can actually get some juicy gossip about Momoka!
As time passed, Diamond Dust's show for tonight began.
Unlike before, their gazes towards the audience now carried a clear purpose.
The people in that photo are etched firmly in my mind.
Without much effort, they spotted a familiar face in the first row of the venue.
A bassist with tanned skin, a petite keyboardist, and a drummer with a strong high school girl vibe.
And that very special boy
This time, the Empty Box performance was their best since Momoka left.
They understood that the hope of reuniting with Taoxiang might be just around the corner.

Chapter 81 Coincidence
"Huh?! Do you want me to take Sister Taoxiang back? Wouldn't it be more convenient for Chen Mingming and Taoxiang to live together?"
The celebration banquet ended not very late.
Nina pinched her nose and glanced at Momoka, who was lying on the table, with some disdain.
Overestimating herself, Momoka challenged Rupa again at the dinner table.
The outcome was already decided the moment the challenge was launched.
Moments after finishing the can, her face was flushed. Her words began to slur.
Two cans of beer were already her limit, but there were three empty cans next to her.
The golden retriever is now lying unconscious on the table.
In contrast, Rupa drank a can more than Peach Fragrance, yet remained completely calm and composed.
Taking care of a drunkard is such a hassle! Even if that person is Momoka, it's still a hassle!
"Nina, I have some things to take care of later, so I can't go back with Momoka-nee now."
"I treated you to two lavish meals in a row, and Rencai isn't even willing to help with this small favor?"
This person is absolutely wicked! They even resorted to moral blackmail!
Chen stared resentfully at the door of the private room for a while; Chen and the other band members had already left.
In the end, Nina could only helplessly try to wake Momoka, hoping to make this difficult journey a little easier.
"Sister Momo, sister Momo!"
Peach blossoms finally managed to elicit a weak response.
After struggling to lift Momoka onto her shoulders, Nina reluctantly took her first step.
Thus, an unpleasant scene unfolded on the street.
A blonde woman who was clearly older leaned most of her weight on the petite brown-haired girl next to her.
"Sister Taoxiang, you're so heavy! Can you use a little more strength? I can't lift you anymore!"
The responses to Renai were merely some meaningless comments.
Peach Blossom's drunkenness today was also part of the plan.
Since Tao Xiang didn't plan to see her old teammates, Chen assigned her an extra task today.
It wouldn't be good if Nina found out about our plan to meet with the Diamond Dust crew tonight.
Therefore, the arduous task of holding off Rencai was handed over to the big golden retriever, who had no other assignments.
The stronger aroma of alcohol compared to before comes from this.
Having surpassed her previous limits, Momoka opened her third can of beer.
She was ordered to drink; getting a little drunk would make it easier to keep Nina occupied, wouldn't it?
With this thought in mind, she clinked glasses with Rupa beside her with her already somewhat heavy arm, then downed the bitter liquor in one gulp.
The intoxication deepened. As her consciousness gradually blurred and faded, the bitterness in her heart was temporarily hidden.
How could Momoka not want to see her old friends from Diamond Dust? Each and every one of them was Momoka's best friend.
However, Momoka has let down her old friends in Diamond Dust.
The audacious idea of dropping out of school to join a professional band and make a name for oneself was clearly hers.
If she hadn't started this, they could have enjoyed their wonderful high school life a little longer, right?
In her heart, the most unforgivable decision she made was not dropping out of school with her friends to come to Kawasaki.
She was a traitor; she ran away when everyone in Diamond Dust needed her most.
The so-called reasons for the discrepancy between music and operational philosophies are indeed quite plausible.
But her identity as a traitor will not disappear without a trace because of this high-sounding reason.
Diamond Dust's popularity experienced significant fluctuations after she left as the lead vocalist.
As the instigator of everything, she should be the one to bear the burden of everyone's future.
Yet, she herself has raised the uncertainty and risk to an extremely high level for everyone's future. This is her, this is her...!
As a traitor, how can he possibly face his former friends?
She had fantasized about meeting her friends again, and what she actually hoped for was their cold stares and scolding.
Her sense of guilt will also be greatly reduced as a result.
But that wasn't the case; her friends never blamed her, not even until the very end.
When her friends tried everything to bridge the gap between their opinions but found it irreconcilable, they chose to let go and wish her well in persevering.
She parted ways with her friends through this ridiculous insistence, yet achieved nothing.
Momoka was terrified, terrified of seeing her friends.
She feared receiving unconditional care from her friends, and she feared their discovery of her lack of achievement.
In her pocket were tickets to tonight's Diamond Dust show.
Before the celebration banquet began, Chen handed her this thin piece of paper.
Chen told her that he had specially booked a seat for her at the back, so she wouldn't have to worry about being discovered by her old friends.
She had to admit that she was tempted by the opportunity Chen had given her.
But her fear made her reject the opportunity.
She could have drunk less and pretended to be drunk so that Nina would take her home.
Alcohol would cloud her judgment. She was afraid that if she saw that ticket again after returning home, she would impulsively rush to the live show.
