As a former member of C-group, I want to destroy mygo!

Although Xiangzi's emotional intelligence and IQ are both flawless, because she was born into a wealthy family, during the Crychic era, due to her status and limited experience, even though she had extremely high emotional intelligence, she sometimes couldn't understand certain things. Su Shi, on the other hand, although she didn't have the same limitations as Xiangzi, was far inferior to Xiangzi in emotional intelligence.

As for Lixi, Muhe Deng, and all of them combined, they are not as good as Su Shi alone.

But to everyone's surprise, the keyboardist they randomly picked up is now showing a performance that actually seems to be smarter and more perceptive than Xiangzi.

How could this be? In the past few days, Akane Kurokawa seemed quite ordinary in every aspect.

Could it be that he unintentionally attracted some kind of powerful spirit?

Kamiya Yu's heart skipped a beat.

If the band members are too intelligent, they might discover that he just wants to form a band of tools. That's a truth that absolutely cannot be touched, more important than the Void Century in One Piece, and even more important to keep secret.

"Shh!"

However, just as Kamiya Yu was about to start his investigation, Natsukawa Masaki, carrying a bass guitar, suddenly opened the door, and the long-delayed figure finally arrived.

"Natsukawa-kun!"

Akane Kurokawa immediately beamed with delight, took out a handkerchief with a girlish scent, and went over to her: "It's so sunny outside, you must be sweating from the journey, right? Let me wipe you down—"

She raised her handkerchief to polish Natsukawa Masuzu's face. In short, although Natsukawa Masuzu's indifferent expression gave people a bad feeling, she should try to persuade her first. As long as she didn't have a chance to speak, everything would be fine, and there was still a chance to turn things around.

but.

"Snapped!"

With a cold expression, Natsukawa Masuzu raised her hand to stop Kurokawa Akane's handkerchief, which was meant to be friendly. She said casually and with a bored look, "I'm here today to quit this band."

Ok?

Kamiya Yu was slightly taken aback, and his eyes turned strange.

Logically speaking, having anticipated the possibility of Natsukawa Masuzu saying those words, just like Kurokawa Akane, he shouldn't have been surprised. But he didn't expect... because the current scene felt so familiar.

Akane Kurokawa wasn't stunned. In her haste, she cried out pitifully and longingly, "Natsukawa-san!"

Hoping to win the other person back with affection.

However, a few days of affection could not sway Natsukawa Masamichi, who was determined to leave.

Natsukawa Masuzu bypassed Kurokawa Akane and went straight to Kamiya Yu, putting down the bass she was carrying and returning it to him.

Immediately, the beautiful girl with silver hair still had some conscience after all. She didn't completely ignore the anxious Kurokawa Akane and turned to her, saying, "You can come find me when you leave the team. Maybe we can start a club and have some fun."

She was just as kind to Akane Kurokawa as she was to Yu Kamiya. She had decided that after Akane left the band, their band would break up sooner or later, and then she and Akane Kurokawa would still be able to hang out together.

As for Kamiya Yu?

Without mercy, I wish him suffering.

However, Yuu Kamiya, who was being treated with double standards, had no intention of sitting idly by and watching all of this happen.

"I have a few words to say before you leave."

As he said this, Kamiya Yu saw that Natsukawa Masuzu treated him as if he were invisible. Even after hearing his words, she remained completely unmoved and turned to leave gracefully.

How could he let Natsukawa Masamichi have his way so easily?

Kamiya Yu waved his hand, activating his captain's authority: "Kurokawa-kun, close the door!"

Upon receiving the order, Kurokawa Akane immediately shielded the door frame with her body, swiftly blocking Natsukawa Masuzu's path and forcing her to stop, her brows furrowing slightly.

After all, with her meager stamina comparable to that of Nagasaki Motoyo, she simply couldn't break through Kurokawa Akane's blockade.

However, Natsukawa Masuzu, unwilling to be outdone, refused to be subdued. She quickly changed her expression, smiling, and turned back to look at Kamiya Yu.

She then leaned forward, put her hands behind her back, and smiled as she approached Kamiya Yu like a young girl in love, their cheeks almost touching.

However, the words that came out of Natsukawa Masuzu's mouth from such an ambiguous distance were enough to extinguish all the romance: "I'll call the police, okay?"

Faced with this merciless threat, Kamiya Yu remained calm and composed, simply raising three fingers and slowly saying:

"I have no romantic entanglements with Riki, Suze, Akari, or even Chihaya Aine; we are purely friends."

He removed one finger and continued:

"The disbandment of our old band Crychic had nothing to do with love."

Then, he retracted one finger again.

"I have absolutely no physical desire for you or Kurokawa-kun, and I have never thought about developing a romantic relationship with either of you, including now."

At this point, Kamiya Yu finally retracted all his fingers.

He paused for a moment, then said finally:

"I'm done."

Volume 39: Chapter 39. Shiina Tatsuki and Kurokawa Akane's Mutual Dislike

After hearing these three sentences, Natsukawa Masaki's beautiful eyebrows twitched slightly. His resolute and ostracist attitude of leaving, which had labeled Kamiya Yu as trash, was suddenly swayed, and he showed a slight wavering.

She hesitated for a moment, and then waited for several more seconds. During this time, Natsukawa Masuzu was obviously still waiting for something, waiting for Kamiya Yu to give her a definitive answer to bring her back. However, she did not receive any new words.

Seeing that Kamiya Yu had actually kept quiet, Natsukawa Masuzu had no choice but to ask, "Are you really done talking?"

Is there anything else I need to explain?

Her current reaction clearly indicates that she has been persuaded to back down, but the bargaining chips are not enough; what she has heard so far is not enough to completely sway her... But that shouldn't be the case; is something else missing?

Kamiya Yu thought for a moment and said, "As long as you're still in my band, I won't date anyone, okay?"

However, the enormous sacrifice he made, despite gritting his teeth and making a huge promise, seemed to be far less useful to Natsukawa Masamichi than the three sentences he had spoken earlier.

As soon as he finished speaking, Natsukawa Masaki's expression, which had previously seemed to hold a hint of hope, suddenly turned cold again, or rather, indifferent.

Jiu's determination to leave the team has become even stronger than it was at the beginning.

Ling was genuinely amused and snorted coldly. She stared directly at Kamiya Yu and said, word by word, "You can go play your 'band' by yourself. I'm not going to keep you company."

4. Words that completely tear off any pretense of civility.

Having come this far, there's no way we can let her stay.

4. Kamiya Yu silently pondered in his mind what he had done to anger Natsukawa Masuzu.

(ii) Akane Kurokawa bit her lower lip, ready to step forward again. Regardless of whether she succeeded or not, she still hoped that the band the three of them had built together could continue on together.

⑨ And just at this anxious moment, just as Kurokawa Akane was about to earnestly plead with Natsukawa Masuzu to stay, he happened to be away from his duty of closing the door the next second.

Two handsome and cool figures suddenly pushed open the door of the practice room and swaggered in from outside!

"Huh? What are you doing?!"

As soon as S entered the room, the first thing Li Xi saw was Natsukawa Masuzu, whose innate evil was so disgusting that it was disgusting. She was maliciously acting cute, making a shameless and unforgivable move by putting her hands behind her back, leaning her upper body forward, and bringing her mouth very, very close to Yu's mouth as if she were about to kiss him. In an instant, all of Li Xi's anger was ignited, and the string of reason in her mind snapped on the spot.

O Lixi originally came only to disband the band, but at this moment, she shouted loudly and subconsciously rushed forward, grabbing Xia Chuanzhen's deliberately cute little hand and pulling her away from You.

Of course, although she was fierce, Riki was also protecting Natsukawa Masami, preventing her from falling down due to being pulled unexpectedly; she was just startled.

"Shiina-kun? Wait, what are you doing to Natsukawa-kun? Let go of her!"

Although Akane Kurokawa couldn't understand why Tatsuki Shiina was here, no matter what, for her, even though Masuzu Natsukawa had made a firm declaration of leaving the group, at least she hadn't left yet, and even if she had left, they would still be friends. In comparison, Tatsuki Shiina was an outsider, so under these circumstances, she would definitely protect Masuzu Natsukawa.

As she spoke, she immediately took action, wrestling with Shiina Ritsuki to drive away this bad guy who was bullying her bandmate.

This contest surprised Lixi. Although she was not afraid of Kurokawa Akane, she really did not expect that Kurokawa Akane, who looked very ordinary, was only slightly inferior to her in strength and stamina. She was not as weak as Natsukawa Masuzu, whom she could easily manipulate.

Just as Riki's eyes sharpened, and he was about to unleash his full power to turn this music scene into a terrifying fighting arena, Kamiya Yuna's voice, which had been startled but quickly regained its composure, finally rang out: "Riki, Kurokawa-kun, you guys? Stop! Stop, stop, stop!"

However, although he called out to two people at the same time, Kurokawa Akane did not immediately obey the command. It was only after Riki heard Yu's stop that he immediately released all his strength without worrying about whether he would be hurt if he let go. After feeling Riki's sincerity, Kurokawa Akane also immediately let go.

Only now did Natsukawa Masuzu finally regain her freedom, and was able to retract her wrist, which had been gripped so tightly by Shiina Tatsuki, leaving red marks, despite Shiina Tatsuki's restraint in not using all his strength.

Kamiya Yuya had already stood up and stepped in, walking in front of Natsukawa Masuzu, separating Natsukawa Masuzu, Kurokawa Akane, and Ritsuki, acting as a buffer to prevent a renewed fight.

Even when faced with this unexpected incident, aside from being startled at first, Natsukawa Masuzu quickly regained her composure. Instead of showing any anger, she smiled, clenched her fist, and playfully punched Kamiya Yu, who was standing in the middle. Then, she tilted her head, looked past Kamiya Yu, and smiled at Shiina Tatsuki.

After being stopped, Li Xi's slight guilt, which initially stemmed from feeling that her approach was not very smooth, instantly turned into a surge of intense anxiety. Xia Chuan Zhenliang's deliberately mocking actions and smile further dampened her spirits.

"Lixi!"

Seeing that Riki's fist seemed to be hardening again, Kamiya Yu quickly stopped him. If Riki were to beat up Natsukawa Masaki here, and he didn't punish Riki, Kurokawa Akane, who was on Natsukawa Masaki's side, would likely become disappointed in him and leave with Natsukawa Masaki.

But... if he had to punish them, he'd rather lose two of his tools at once.

In order to avoid that situation and at least protect Kurokawa Akane, the only option is to ensure that Ritsuki never has any further conflicts with Natsukawa Masuzu.

Furthermore, Natsukawa Masuzu hadn't actually done anything to deserve being hit. Although she wanted to leave the team, that was ultimately her freedom, and he couldn't very well force her. However, Ritsuki's attitude towards Natsukawa Masuzu clearly wasn't because she wanted to leave the team. In any case, whatever the reason, he had to find a way to divert Ritsuki's attention.

"Lixi, what are you doing here?"

Volume 40: Chapter 40. Hai Ling vs. Zhen Liang, A Band Doesn't Need Two Bassists

Although Riki did ask where he was earlier, Kamiya Yu thought she just didn't see him go to Ring and thought he had missed his music practice, so she was just concerned. She really didn't expect her to follow him here.

Since Li Xi has gone to such lengths, there must be some special reason behind it.

And, as expected, after being questioned, Li Xi almost instinctively looked behind her.

Following Riki's gaze, Kamiya Yu finally noticed, during this moment of leisure after mediating the dispute, that there was another person who had come here with Riki.

Unfortunately, he saw this uninvited guest, just like Li Xi, lying the bass upside down with his hands on its head, as if he was about to do something that was obviously dangerous enough to smash the bass down at any moment—the target of which was either Kurokawa Akane or Natsukawa Masuzu.

It was only after seeing Riki and Kurokawa Akane reconcile that she was about to gently put her precious and cherished bass back into its packaging.

But, it's too late.

At that moment, four pairs of eyes, including Kamiya Yu's, were all fixed on her before she even put her bass back.

Li Xi: "...Hai Ling, what are you doing?"

Hai Ling: "...I've never told you this before, but it's actually my warm-up before each performance. I'm a little shy about it, but I'm going to show it to you today."

Hachiman Kairin, without changing her expression, improvised, picking up a bass guitar and waving it at the air, diligently proving her point. Her acting skills were superb, displaying the demeanor of a professional player. If her behavior weren't so outrageous that even a fool could see through her lie, Kurokawa Akane, the professional actress, would almost have been tempted to applaud her.

Seeing the sheer force of her bass swing, creating a gust of wind, Natsukawa Masuzu, who was being protected by Kamiya Yu, was dumbfounded and couldn't even maintain her mocking smile.

Did she break some heavenly rule that she deserves to be wanted and hunted down by this band of boxers?

Thinking this, Natsukawa Masuzu finally couldn't help but get angry. She was really angry. Since joining Kamiya Yu's band, nothing good had happened except for the first day she joined.

If yesterday at Ring's place, she was merely dissatisfied with Kamiya Yuu after seeing through certain things, and her feelings towards Shiina Ritsuki were just casual entanglements, then now, after being rudely and repeatedly pressured by Shiina Ritsuki, Natsukawa Masuzu has truly developed a strong hostility towards Shiina Ritsuki.

Although she didn't know what Shiina Ritsuki's original intention was to come here, she knew that he probably didn't bring that cool girl here specifically to beat her up. However, even so, it didn't stop Natsukawa Masuzu from completely hating both of them.

"Who is this?"
