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

If we can barely explain why we use such affectionate terms with our former teammates and such a formal approach with our current teammates, then...

So when the fact of "Hai Ling" is right here... when Natsukawa Masaki comes back and asks this question, it is equivalent to directly putting his bad intentions on the surface, and even in front of Kurokawa Akane.

He ran away, but he still felt unsatisfied and had to come back and drag his other tool away as well?

"...How petty of you, Natsukawa Masashige."

Although there was no mirror, Kamiya Yu knew that his expression must not be very good. If he had known that Natsukawa Masuzu was not only quirky but also had such a strong desire for revenge, he definitely would not have let this girl stay.

Natsukawa Masuzu smiled, raising her two slender hands and deliberately making a V-sign with a cute expression. She chuckled, "I don't deny that, okay? But why don't you just come up with an excuse? Maybe that way you can keep fooling our innocent Akane. Maybe she can keep struggling, okay?"

In response to her increasingly aggressive and blatant advances, Kamiya Yu glanced at Kurokawa Akane first.

At this moment, Akane Kurokawa's expression was a mixture of sadness and realization, as well as a sense of unease. She had clearly also vaguely noticed this issue, but she wasn't as perceptive as Masuzu Natsukawa. Moreover, due to her gentle nature, she chose to keep it to herself and trust Yu Kamiya for the time being.

One by one, they're all so smart... Just how bad is his luck?

Kamiya Yu sighed: "So, your sudden change in attitude towards me yesterday wasn't because of the relationship at all, but because you discovered this, right?"

"After all, I'm not so awful as to throw a tantrum just because someone might still be entangled with their ex-girlfriend," Natsukawa Masuzu chuckled, then asked curiously, "So, what are you going to do?"

"I'm not regretting it now, I just wish I hadn't stopped Li Yuxi earlier," Kamiya Yu said, half sincerely and half jokingly.

Then, silence fell.

Now that things have come to this, it's impossible to continue lying as if nothing happened. But... even so, he absolutely cannot hand over the truth. Otherwise, given Xia Chuanzhen's vengeful nature, she would most likely still come back to cause trouble even after they part ways.

I'd check on him every now and then to see if he'd tricked any new people into forming a band. If he had, I'd tell him the truth, causing him to fail again.

Since he and Natsukawa Masaki were from the same school, it was impossible for him to completely avoid her.

Moreover... if there isn't a suitable explanation to conclude this failure now, it's likely that not only Natsukawa Masashige, but also Kurokawa Akane will feel somewhat saddened in the future.

Thinking this, Kamiya Yu sighed deeply, his eyes turning cold as he responded to Kurokawa Akane and Natsukawa Masuzu, who were staring intently at him:

"Since you want to hear it, then I'll tell you the truth... Listen up, Akane Kurokawa, Masuzu Natsukawa, from the very beginning, I've never truly considered you as my bandmates!"

Volume 46: Chapter 46. The King of Resilience's False Breakdown, and the Deceitful Ryou and Akane

"You really dare to say that."

Natsukawa Masuzu was surprised. She really didn't expect that after being pushed to the brink, Kamiya Yu would actually become tough, unlike his previous gentle demeanor.

"Now that things have come to this, what do I have to hide?" Kamiya Yu scoffed. "So what if I didn't consider you all true partners?"

Looking at Kamiya Yu, who seemed somewhat resigned to his fate, Kurokawa Akane bit her lower lip, feeling a little sad. Although nothing particularly memorable had happened in the past few days that made her value the band as much as her acting career so quickly, she did feel that she had been much happier.

Every night before going to sleep and every morning after waking up, she felt a long-lost joy, a kind of happiness just like when she first performed on stage. She truly cared about the band, about Kamiya Yu and Natsukawa Masuzu.

But in the end, is all of this just something she enjoys all by herself?

"Kamiya-kun...why did you do this? Why did you lie to me?"

Akane Kurokawa lowered her head sadly, her tone never as aggressive as Masuzu Natsukawa's interrogation. Even at this moment, she was more sad than angry.

Looking at the good-natured girl, Kamiya Yu finally couldn't help but feel a little guilty. If he felt no guilt about tricking Natsukawa Masami, then tricking Kurokawa Akane was indeed a bit hard to bear. However, even so, he had no choice but to continue deceiving Kurokawa Akane.

Unable to expose the truth about his exploitation, he could only pretend to be on the verge of a breakdown, using emotional manipulation to prevent these two intelligent girls from thinking rationally and objectively, thus allowing him to get away with it.

Thinking this, Kamiya Yu took a deep breath. His next move might look a bit clownish. Luckily, Ritsuki wasn't there, otherwise he might not have been willing to do it.

"What are you saying? I'll admit if I made a mistake, but I don't want you to misunderstand something that didn't happen. I do want to form a band, and I genuinely like you, but I just didn't see you as a real partner like Li Xi."

Akane Kurokawa pursed her lips, unable to accept his sophistry: "If you don't consider me a true friend and teammate, why did you ask me to come here? What you're doing... isn't that just deceiving me!"

"That's because you two are still in your probationary period!"

However, faced with Akane Kurokawa's increasingly loud questioning, Yu Kamiya showed no sign of guilt. He frowned, walked to the wall, leaned against it, crossed his arms, seemingly trying to recover from the shock. He took several deep breaths before letting out a heavy sigh and shouting, his voice trembling with barely suppressed emotion:

"My old band broke up! And then they abandoned me and went off to play in a new band. I want to form a new band to get back at them. Is there a problem with that?"

"Yes! I admit my motives were impure. I didn't want to form a band because I liked you guys. I just randomly picked you two because I wanted to form a band. But does that make me so wicked?"

"Do you know how good I was to Lixi and the others? I always thought we were the best friends in the world! The best band! And look at what happened? How have they treated me now? Tell me!"

"Even Lixi and the others can't be relied on... What can I do? Do you expect me to immediately believe in you two and think you're reliable? We've only known each other for a few days! I don't believe in that bullshit band's shared destiny nonsense, ha, that kind of thing... that's real fraud!"

"You want me to open up to you? I'm not going to do that, at least not now! Otherwise, what am I supposed to do when this band breaks up? Do you expect me to kneel down and beg you not to leave?"

"You'd be ecstatic, wouldn't you? Natsukawa, you're back now just to hurt me, to make me regret letting you go? You're dreaming!"

"I just don't trust you, I don't trust either of you, I'm wary of both of you! Are you satisfied now?!"

"It turns out I wasn't wrong, was I? Natsukawa, you've only been here a few days and you're already gone. If you left, why did you come back? Do you have to make sure I can't do anything I want? Now Akane is going to leave with you too, are you happy now? Haha!"

The more ba shouted, the louder and more uncontrollable his voice became. Kamiya Yu's face unconsciously revealed a look of deep hatred. He clenched his fists and wanted to smash them against the wall several times.

Wu simply took deep breaths and controlled her emotions, keeping the last bit of negative feelings inside and not letting them out completely to avoid making a scene.

⑦ With his eyelids lowered, knowing he had messed everything up, Kamiya Yu turned away, refusing to look at the two girls who were frozen in place by his outburst. Gritting his teeth, his chest heaving, he faced the wall alone for several seconds, but during this time he didn't hear anyone get up and leave. Immediately, he turned back angrily, his chest heaving as he growled:

Lu: "Are you all going to watch me cry here? How could you be so vicious? Xia Chuan is so cold!"

⑥ Natsukawa Masuzu, who was standing still, was not so timid as to tremble at being yelled at, but she was indeed stunned for a moment this time.

③Although they had only known each other for a few days, her impression of Kamiya Yu was that he was very calm and resilient. Although she did come back with a slightly wicked sense of humor to expose Kamiya Yu, she didn't think he would break down to this extent...

However, even from her perspective, which has been accompanied by her father to endless business banquets since elementary school, she could still sense that the emotions and words that Kamiya Yu was venting at this moment were indeed strong and genuine.

(iv) Perhaps not everything he said is reliable, but... it seems that he really values ​​the band and his friends.

"Isn't it what I thought?"

Softly murmuring, Natsukawa Masuzu's words were so light that they vanished without a trace as soon as they reached the vicinity of her flowing silver hair.

His deliberate return was not purely to kick someone when they're down, but mainly to investigate another possibility in his heart that he hadn't yet confirmed, only had some doubts about. At this moment, the beautiful silver-haired girl suddenly bent down and picked up the bass that had been given to him before.

In that instant as she bent down, besides feeling strange, her eyes also held a fleeting hint of apology that she herself didn't even notice.

When she stood up again with her bass guitar and looked up, her radiant smile had returned:

"Vicious, huh? I won't argue with that. But compared to being seen in such an ugly state that makes you want to cry, maybe the price would be worth it if we could restore the three-person band?"

Volume 47: Chapter 47. The all-encompassing Saint Akane, a god comparable to Aine.

"What do you mean?"

Kamiya Yu stared at Natsukawa Masaki, his eyes filled with the lingering emotions of someone who had given up entirely.

Natsukawa Masuzu casually strummed the bass strings, a slightly serious expression rarely seen on her face: "If I pass the probation period, what will you do?"

Hearing her words, Kamiya Yu didn't feel the excitement of something lost and then regained. Instead, he gave a cold, mocking snort, as if amused by anger, and looked at the silver-haired girl who had destroyed everything with a hint of resentment.

"I'm not in the mood for that anymore. Do whatever you want, but there's no need to say things like that just to kick me while I'm down! I'm just wondering, when did we get so much hatred between us that you're still not satisfied?"

Seeing Kamiya Yu's reaction, Natsukawa Masuzu, who was about to do something, couldn't help but pause.

She, who should have been very stingy, looked down at the bass in her hand, which she had adjusted to resemble herself over the past few days, and suddenly the image of Kamiya Yu's very ordinary house came to mind.

Whether it's the size of the house, the price range of the furniture, or even the clothes Kamiya Yu is wearing, it's obvious that he's not a very wealthy person.

However, even with such ordinary assets and in such an ordinary house, and despite treating her and Akane Kurokawa with a great deal of distance, he still gave them this precious instrument without hesitation on the very day they met, based solely on their first performance together.

Even though the price of this bass guitar wasn't much to her... the fact that it was spotless and dust-free when she touched it made it clear how precious and cherished these bands were to Kamiya Yu.

and so……

She's become so used to lies, how can she still believe in so-called truths? This guy... he absolutely, positively must be hiding something!

However, the images that lingered in her mind were of Kamiya Yu, who, even though she hadn't figured out why she was being treated coldly by her, still treated her gently, and even though they parted ways, they still broke up peacefully; and Shiina Tatsuki, who had been so angry with her outside the LiveHouse that she couldn't hold back anymore, but still left without doing anything for Kamiya Yu's sake.

Honestly, I'm a little unwilling... I feel like if I just leave like this, I'll never be able to hold my head up in front of these two people again.

Even if she is Xia Chuanzhen, is the only evaluation of her personality that is absolutely terrible?

"I don't care whether you want it or not, I don't want to leave for now. Even Hachiman Kairin couldn't take my place. If I leave now, Shiina Tatsuki will definitely think that I'm ashamed of myself because I feel inferior to Hachiman Kairin and that I ran away on my own!"

"Don't even think about letting Shiina Tatsuki laugh at me, Kamiya Yu!"

"I don't care what kind of assessment you had or what kind of psychological trauma you suffered. If you can't even overcome this, what kind of band leader are you? You might as well just step down and let me take over!"

clang!

The beautiful silver-haired girl, who should have been utterly repulsive, wicked, and stingy to the point of not being willing to suffer even the slightest loss, and who insisted on coming back to cause a scene, was now strumming her bass guitar, with her head slightly turned away.

Her long, silver hair, falling from her ears, concealed the scrutiny of Kamiya Yu and Kurokawa Akane from her facial expressions. All that could be heard was her usual lively, cheerful, mischievous, and willful humming.

Seeing that Natsukawa Masuzu seemed to be serious, Kamiya Yu seemed to be stunned for several seconds before slowly saying, "Do you think I will still accept you? Even if you really want to come back, our relationship has already ended."

However, before he could finish speaking, the bass suddenly raised its voice, trying to drown out his.

Although the bass, being a low-pitched instrument, cannot reach such high notes, at the same time, there is also the assist of someone who, realizing what's happening, rushes to the keyboard and vigorously strikes the keys.

Kamiya Yu raised an eyebrow.

If the atmosphere hadn't been so inappropriate, he really wanted to beg Kurokawa Akane to be gentler; he still wanted to take the intact keyboard back to Xiangzi.

Moreover, to be honest... although he quite liked Kurokawa Akane, this kind-hearted girl, her keyboard skills were really quite average, only slightly better than a beginner, and completely unworthy of Xiangzi's keyboard, but he just couldn't say it out loud.

Thinking this, Kamiya Yu, who was originally just pretending, suddenly felt that the trace of sorrow that had burst forth between his brows was completely real.

He stood on the original site, listening intently for several minutes to the rather disjointed performance by Natsukawa Masashige and Kurokawa Akane, before finally letting out a soft sigh:

"...Even if you say something like that, what guarantee do I have that you won't get bored and leave one day? A band like that is better off not having one."

Faced with Kamiya Yu, who clearly lacked security and had no trust in her whatsoever, Natsukawa Masuzu, after making a difficult decision, was inexplicably overjoyed. She finally stopped being so harsh and insulting towards the man, and instead let out a soft hum, extending her fair left hand.

“Let’s make a promise.” She was still very playful, but this time there was also a sense of seriousness. “As long as you don’t fall in love with me, unless Akane agrees, I will not leave this band even if you expel me.”

She was determined to make Kamiya Yu prioritize her over Shiina Tatsuki one day.

At that time, she would crush this stupid band like a rat and get rid of them without a care in the world—after all, even at this time, Kamiya Yu was still lying, so he deserved to be punished, didn't he?

Kamiya Yu: "..."

Although Natsukawa Masuzu seemed to be keeping her promise at the moment, he still felt that it might be better to take this opportunity to get rid of this band full of smart people who were difficult to manage and to think of other ways.

Natsukawa Masuzu and Kurokawa Akane are so smart that they make him feel threatened.

However, before Kamiya Yu could refuse, Kurokawa Akane, though her face showed hesitation and a hint of unspoken words, eventually pursed her lips in resignation, and walked over, took his hand, and led him to Natsukawa Masuzu. Then, with a determined air, she placed the three of their hands together, her gaze intense:

"I don't hate Ryou now, nor do I hate Yu."

"I don't want to disband like this in a muddled way."

"Let's keep going together, band!"
