The elegant young lady, Okumura Haru, walked slowly over and greeted Nagasaki Sase, but her words made Sase's expression falter.

After all, although Okumura Haru seems to have a good relationship with Nagasaki Sase, she is quite protective of her own.

She kept interrupting my conversations with Mu. If she weren't so busy and often unavailable, it would be difficult for me to even see Mu.

"That won't be necessary. I've already joined the orchestra, and joining the gardening department would be too much for me."

Nagasaki Sase had no choice but to refuse, but her refusal proved that she was not a member of the horticulture club.

You're not a member here, so why are you staying here?

Okumura Haru's question, seemingly a question, was actually a way of saying goodbye.

What? You're asking what would happen if Shuangshi agreed?

So, Okumura Haru naturally took the opportunity to pull her into the horticulture club. Once she was in the horticulture club, it was definitely a lot of pressure for Sōse, and she couldn't stick to it.

This is an open conspiracy, a conspiracy that the world will definitely reject.

So no matter how unhappy Shuang Shi was, he could only smile and say goodbye.

Haru Okumura watched her leave with a smile. After she was gone, Haru turned to Mutsumi and asked, "Did she bother you again?"

"..."

Mu didn't respond, but continued watering the cucumbers. Her indifferent reaction made Chun sigh: "Sigh, I know you feel you've wronged her, and I don't know what grudge you have against her. But are you sure you want to continue like this?"

"I deserve this."

Mutsu could only give this blunt answer, which only made Okumura Haru feel more helpless.

Sometimes Mu is just a stubborn person, and she doesn't know how to respond to her.

"Okay, okay... Remember to tell me if you run into trouble next time. After all, I'm the department head, so I have to protect the safety of my members~"

Patting his chest, Haru Okumura encouraged Mutsu, but Mutsu just nodded blankly, unwilling to say anything more.

She thought the matter would just pass by today, but she didn't expect Shuangshi to actually go and wait for Xiangzi.

After Xiangzi spotted her standing at the school gate, he immediately went to hide elsewhere. Akari and Aine, who came out from behind her, spotted Sōse and left the school gate of Haneoka with her.

Xiangzi was very unhappy about this, so she decided to ask Mu Hao about the situation and find out what was going on.

So Mu received Xiangzi's message, asking her to go to Shimokitazawa.

The reason for going to Shimokitazawa was simply because Xiangzi needed to work at Fanxing, so the meeting place was in Shimokitazawa.

But Mu encountered a small problem at the entrance to the Starry Sky Gate.

Or rather... this is quite a problem.

Shake shake shake~ Shake shake shake~

Silence~

At the entrance to the starry sky, a pink-haired girl in sportswear carrying a trash bag was shivering, while Mu, sitting opposite her, remained silent like a doll.

The two stared at each other silently. The pink-haired girl wanted to say something, but was too shy and continued to tremble.

"That (two) is a collection of odds and ends, a mixture of suspicious mountains..."

"."

Seeing Mu's silent response, and the lack of any movement, the pink-haired girl's courage, which she had just mustered, immediately shrank back.

Shake shake shake~ Shake shake shake~

The pink-haired girl was at a loss for words.

"Hey! Pochi-chan, you've been taking too long to take out the trash!"

At that moment, the door to the stars was pushed open, and with a complaint, the archangel of Shimokitazawa came to the rescue.

When Hongxia called out to Boqi, she noticed that there were guests blocking the door. She couldn't help but say, "Oh, I'm sorry, the audience is only allowed to enter at six o'clock... Are you planning to come to see the live show?"

Upon hearing Hongxia's answer, Mu calmly shook her head; she had come to see Xiangzi.

But she didn't speak, because her gaze was fixed on what was behind Hongxia.

At this moment, Ren Amamiya curiously peeked out to see what had caused Pochi-chan to be delayed again. Everyone was just about to quickly clean up and start practicing.

"Isn't this Mu? Come in."

Ren Amamiya recognized her as Mutsumi Wakaba, a former member of Crychic, and waved for her to come inside.

After learning that Yu Yi and Mio knew each other, Hong Xia made way for her and invited her in.

Mutsu blinked, seemingly a little confused as to why Ren Amamiya was there.

However, her relationship with Ren Amamiya was neither good nor bad. After hearing what Ren Amamiya said, she looked down at her phone again and confirmed that the meeting place was the livehouse called Fanxing before nodding and walking into the store.

As she entered the shop, she looked around but did not find Xiangzi.

l iu罢诌洽罢O逝龄物“祥子呢?”

She couldn't help but ask, and upon hearing her question, Hongxia understood what this strange girl had come for.

"Is she Xiangzi's friend? She's out shopping with my sister right now, she probably won't be back for another ten minutes or so."

Hongxia estimated the time, which was probably around this period, so she poured Ruoye Mu a glass of juice and placed it on the table next to her: "Why don't you drink some water and sit here and rest for a while?"

"Thank you."

Mu nodded slightly in thanks, answering respectfully like a well-behaved doll.

After having the guests sit down, Hongxia pulled Boqi-chan, who had just returned from taking out the trash, over to continue rehearsing. Amamiya Ren suddenly remembered something and pulled a ticket out of his pocket: "By the way, there's a live performance coming up soon, it's about Poppin' Praty and Afterglow concerts, and I and the Ending Band will be performing... Also, some of your old friends from Crychic will be performing, do you want to go check it out?"

Mutsu thought for two seconds after hearing what Ren Amamiya said. Just as she was about to shake her head and refuse, Ren Amamiya added, "Shoko will go, but I only gave her one ticket."

"it is good."

Ren Amamiya hadn't expected that Mutsu and Shoko had such a good relationship. He hadn't been at Crychic for very long, so he didn't know much about their relationship. Shoko had never mentioned Mutsu to him either, and he had only just found out that the two seemed to be very close.

That's why I thought of giving her another ticket. Maybe Xiangzi hoped that Mu could come along and take a look?

"Brother Lian! Come quick! We're all ready!"

Kita shouted energetically at Ren Amamiya, who casually replied, "Okay!" Then he said to Mutsumi, "By the way, would you like to hear our performance?"

"it is good."

Mu replied blankly.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Willing to Serve

Today was arguably the most special rehearsal the band had ever had. It felt like a mini rehearsal, as we were going to put on a performance for the guests.

Although there was only one guest, they still seemed a little nervous.

"Relax. If you can't relax in front of a guest, won't you be even more nervous when you're actually performing live? Besides, haven't you all performed live once before?"

Ren Amamiya was referring to the previous live performance that was full of mistakes. Everyone had a lot of fun back then, but this time it's completely different from the last one.

The number of guests at the last concert was definitely less than that of the next concert. The number of people watching the concert at that time will definitely be a lot. It's terrifying to think about.

"It's okay, it's okay! Let's do it! At least let's practice both songs once."

Everyone encouraged each other. Hongxia took a breath and looked at Amamiya Ren. After Amamiya Ren confirmed that everyone was ready, he looked at the audience member Xiaomu and began to play the guitar.

As his guitar began to play, the song started playing.

'Okay, happy to help. I'm at your service whenever you need me.'

"Yes, I understand. I'm happy to be at your service at any time..."

As soon as the first two lines of lyrics were sung, the others immediately followed the rhythm. Bochi and Kita joined in with their guitars, and Ryo's bass and Nijika's drums gradually began to play.

When Mu heard the lyrics, his eyes widened involuntarily.

'Your outstretched helping hand seemed born for justice.'

'Those who live unwillingly rely on this shield to protect themselves from the criticisms of fools.'

Mutsumi stared blankly at Ren Amamiya, who sang a song while looking at Mutsumi.

The two looked at each other like that. She saw herself in Ren Amamiya's eyes, and she also heard herself in Ren Amamiya's singing.

Okay, happy to help! I'm at your service anytime.

'As long as I can do it, I'll do as much as I can.'

Mu's body trembled slightly. She didn't know if it was a coincidence or fate. In this song, she seemed to see her own reflection.

Caught between Shuangshi and Xiangzi, she was willing to serve Xiangzi and also willing to lend a helping hand to Shuangshi.

Is her aid just? Is she doing everything she can?

But she... seems to have done a very unsatisfactory job.

'Try taking a step forward, and hateful memories flood in, playing the opening notes of hell—no, no, no.'

'Try taking another step, hateful memories flood in, open your heart and let out a three- to six-syllable outpouring of your feelings, no, no, no, please, spare my life.'

The figures of Xiangzi and Shuangshi flashed before Mu's eyes. She wanted to take a step forward and say something more, but she knew that she was clumsy with words and could not say anything.

She clearly wanted to help everyone, but she always managed to mess things up, as if she were pushing herself into hell.

I've never felt happy being in a band.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke Crychic's back. She didn't actually mean it that way at the time, but it led Crychic to disband completely.

Xiangzi left, Deng left, Lixi left, and she... also chose to end the fragmented Crychic.

So she felt very indebted to Shuangshi, but she didn't know how to explain it. Whenever she wanted to take that step to explain, the words she had once said would echo in her ears.

She really didn't dare to try again.

'Dance as hard as you can, dance as hard as you can. (Dance all day.)'

'Dance as hard as you can, dance as hard as you can! (Louder!)'

Kita and Ryo were harmonizing, and the song shifted from the verse to the chorus, as if the sadness from before had just passed, leaving Mutsu stunned again.

As she listened to Ren Amamiya's words, she saw that there were many more dolls dancing around Ren Amamiya.
