After dropping out of school, I chose to join a girls' band.

Walking home, Yue couldn't help but think about the events of the past few days. "What a day... It feels like these coincidences have been happening more and more often since I started playing in a band..."

Logically speaking, I chose this restaurant by chance today, but it was such a coincidence that I ran into Xiangzi, who was eating here.

"This feeling feels somewhat familiar, like a script that's already been written... but... that can't be... right?"

Once people start thinking about a problem, they will find that everything that happened before is full of doubts.

Yue began to think about the first time she met Toyokawa Shoko, and upon careful consideration, she realized that there was actually a bit of coincidence involved.

Xiangzi had said that she usually didn't go to that convenience store. That day, it was just that the convenience store she usually went to was out of bento boxes, so she went to that convenience store and coincidentally met Yue.

Thinking about this, Yue remembered what the giraffe had said to her that night.

She remained silent for a moment, then took out her phone, which had almost no battery left, and dialed Yurisaki Aoi's number.

--------

Just before Yue made the phone call, in the student council of Seisho Music Academy, Momoko Kurosawa was enthusiastically placing the play proposal she had just written in front of Yuri Aoi, the current vice president of the student council.

She looked at Aoi with anticipation and said, "Aoi-chan! What do you think of this performance I just came up with? It combines a girl band with a stage play! This is an idea I've been thinking about for a long time."

Yuri Saki Aoi had a "you're here again" look on her face. Ever since she successfully joined the student council and gained the president's trust, Kurosawa Momoko would come to her every now and then with a brand new idea to apply for a performance.

Before Hinasaki Tsuki was still with Seisho, things were fine. Basically, all those unrealistic ideas were suppressed by Tsuki before they could be taken over.

But ever since Yue left, Taozi's head has been overflowing with inspiration. The problem is, she can't ignore it, because sometimes Taozi's ideas are truly astonishing.

However, many of the proposals written by Taozi did not follow the standard format. Even if there were good ideas, she would still have to modify them into the standard format for Taozi.

So no matter whether Peach comes up with a good idea or a completely impractical one, she has to use a lot of her brain cells.

"So... where did you get your new inspiration this time, Peach?"

With a helpless expression, Yuri Aoi opened the proposal that Momo had handed her and began to browse through it.

While Aoi was reviewing the proposal, Momoko began to explain the origin of her idea: "I went to see a band's performance a few days ago, and my inspiration came to me after hearing their music."

After skimming through the contents, she closed the book and said to Peach, "Although your idea this time is unusually practical, have you considered that there aren't many people in our class who can play musical instruments?"

"Huh?" Peach acted as if she was very surprised.

That's right, Peach acted very surprised. She hadn't expected the proposal to be approved before she received it.

Now that ave_mujica is almost complete, she should probably start thinking about how to sign a contract with Sakura Sakura.

However, given her current status as the principal of the Shengxiang Music Academy, she is generally not allowed to directly participate in such commercial projects.

So she wrote this proposal, and after Yuri Saki rejected it, she naturally came up with an alternative.

Peach pretended to think for a moment and then seemed to suddenly have an idea. "How about I find a girl band to carry out my project?"

"To be honest... it's not that great? I doubt any famous girl band would be willing to include a stage play-like MC segment before their performance, right?"

Peach made full use of her ingratiating skills, "Hehe, Xiao Kui, don't be so sure. If I find a girl band that's willing, Xiao Kui, you'll have to help me with the paperwork."

Faced with Momoko Kurosawa's attempt to act cute, Yuri Saki Aoi had clearly developed a resistance. She pushed Momoko away with one hand and said somewhat impatiently, "If you really can find someone, Momoko, I'm definitely willing to help you with the process."

In Yuri Saki's opinion, it was simply impossible to find a girl band that was both good at stage plays and had sufficient musical skills.

When the Stage Begins: Chapter 132 A Banned Band

Seeing that Yuri Saki had agreed to her request, Momoko instantly dropped her pretense. Her gentle smile gradually changed, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug expression.

Her eyes gleamed with a cunning light, like the joy of a cat catching a mouse.

"Hehe~ You said it yourself, Aoi-chan, so don't go back on your word if I really find it!" Momo's tone was playful and teasing.

Yuri Saki was taken aback. Her originally firm expression wavered slightly under Momo's smug smile, but she remembered that the other party had used this trick to deceive her before.

A hint of unease flickered in her eyes, but she gritted her teeth and nodded. "I...of course I won't go back on my word!"

Momoko's smile widened, and she gently patted Aoi's shoulder, as if to comfort her. "Aoi-chan, don't worry, I'll definitely find it. And you have to keep your promise!"

Aoi felt a slight unease, but since she had already spoken, she could only nod firmly.

"It's unlikely that... Momoko's project will actually find a girl band, right? Maybe I should find out what activities girl bands are doing recently?"

----------------

Aoi had never paid much attention to girl bands before, but she was shocked by what she found out.

She was sitting in the student council office, looking down at her phone screen with a puzzled expression.

Her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with confusion and shock. The trending news about girl bands she searched for, aside from a few relatively normal items about Popipa, Roselia, and RAS performing live at the Budokan through the Bang Dream competition, seemed rather odd.

"Why would starting a girl band cause withdrawal symptoms?" Aoi's eyes widened as she stared at a news article about Misaki-senpai from Hello, Happy World suddenly pulling out a shopping bag and putting it on her head at a tea party. Apparently, it was some kind of withdrawal reaction, and her lips twitched involuntarily.

"Is being in an idol girl band this dangerous now? Looks like some of them are even getting heatstroke," she muttered to herself, swiping her finger across the screen to see the news about Pastel*Palettes holding a tea party in the desert. Her eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

She continued scrolling down and saw a news article about Roselia: "Roselia changes direction? Latest demon performance outfit?" Aoi's eyebrows almost jumped to her forehead, her mouth slightly open as she tried to calm her shock and confusion. The image of the enormous creature in front of her made her lips twitch again.

"A Popipa creative concert, playing guitar with teeth, a flying lead singer, and... handing out chocolate snails?" Her eyes widened like saucers, almost popping out of their sockets.

"There seems to be a live stream here?" Aoi clicked on the link below. According to her memory, it should be Tae Hanazono from Popipa, Layer from RAS, Sayo Hikawa from Roselia, Rinko Shirogane, Tsugumi Hanazawa from Afterglow, and... Michelle from HHW. But why are you holding a balloon? It looks so out of place.

She slammed her phone on the table, her heart filled with lingering fear and unease.

"Given the energy and enthusiasm of these bands, they might actually grant Momoko's request." A chill ran through Aoi's heart, and her expression became increasingly complicated.

She rubbed her temples, trying to calm herself down. Her heart was still pounding, and her fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if she were thinking about something important.

"This is really troublesome..." Kui muttered to herself, her brows furrowed, her eyes filled with helplessness and confusion. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table as she silently considered whether she should just go ahead and handle all the paperwork for Taozi.

Just as she was lost in thought, her phone, which was lying face down on the table, suddenly rang. The sound of the phone vibrating was particularly clear in the quiet office, breaking her thoughts. She frowned slightly, a hint of doubt in her eyes, and slowly picked up the phone.

"Who is it... Yue? Why are you calling me at this time?" Her voice held a hint of surprise and confusion. Her gaze quickly swept across the phone screen, confirming the name on the caller ID. Her brows relaxed slightly, but a puzzled expression remained on her face.

Aoi looked up at the wall clock; the hour hand pointed to past seven in the evening. Her gaze returned to her phone screen, filled with confusion. She sighed softly and pressed the answer button.

"Moon Girl, why are you calling me at this hour? Is something wrong?" Her voice carried a hint of concern and curiosity.

A hint of tenderness flickered in Aoi's eyes. Although her heart was still filled with doubt, her tone remained gentle. Her fingers lightly tapped the pen on the table, her gaze focused intently on the phone screen, awaiting the other party's reply.

--------

Yue sat on a park bench, the surrounding trees rustling gently in the evening breeze. The soft light of the streetlights cast dappled shadows on her. She held her phone in one hand and gently stroked the wooden armrest of the bench with the other.

"Xiao Kui, has Tao Zi been learning any musical instruments lately?" Yue's voice came through the phone, tinged with doubt.

Upon hearing Yue's question on the other end of the phone, Aoi frowned slightly, a question mark seemingly appearing above her head. She glanced around to make sure the office was still quiet and no one else was there, then leaned back comfortably in her chair, trying to relax.

“I’m not entirely clear on the specifics either. As you know, Yue, I have to come to the student council every day after school to handle some things.” Aoi’s voice carried a hint of helplessness and exhaustion. She glanced at the pile of documents on the table and sighed softly. “Besides, the dorm supervisor approves Momo’s leave requests very easily, so I’m not really sure whether she’s actually learning any instruments. But why do you ask?”

Aoi's gaze returned to her phone screen, her mind drifting back to the band and stage play proposals Momoko had submitted earlier. A vague unease crept into her heart. Remembering that Yue had called at this time to ask if Momoko was learning any instruments, and knowing that Yue was involved in a girls' band, an idea suddenly popped into her head.

Yue frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on the park fountain in the distance, where water droplets shimmered under the lights. "Hmm... there's been a mysterious member of a band lately, and I think it might be Peach. I want to confirm."

The park lights shone on Yue's face, making her expression appear exceptionally gentle yet filled with worry.

"Since you don't know, Xiao Kui, then there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry to call you so late." Yue's voice carried a hint of apology. She sighed softly, swiping her finger across the phone screen, preparing to hang up.

"Wait..." Yuri Saki's voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, interrupting Yue's actions. Her fingers stopped, hovering in mid-air, a hint of doubt and anticipation flashing in her eyes.

"Although I don't know if Momoko is learning an instrument, there's no doubt that she's been getting quite close to the band lately. Just today, she submitted a proposal to me about linking a girls' band with a stage play." Aoi's voice carried a hint of seriousness and concern, and her gaze was fixed on the outside of the window, as if she were pondering something.

Upon hearing Yuri Saki's words, Tsuki fell silent for a brief moment. Her gaze deepened, a complex light flickering in her eyes. She frowned slightly, her fingers tapping lightly on the armrest of the bench, her suspicions deepening. Although it could just be a coincidence, it was precisely because of this coincidence that she had begun to suspect Momoko.

"Thank you, Xiao Kui." Yue's voice was filled with gratitude and gentleness, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a relaxed smile.

"You're welcome, Tsuki-chan. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with."

Yue's fingers slid gently across the screen, and she hung up the phone. Having received the latest information from Yurisaki Aoi, she felt much more relaxed. She leaned back comfortably on the park bench, sighed softly, and looked up at the night sky.

The May night carried a hint of early summer warmth and coolness. The trees in the park swayed gently in the breeze, rustling softly as if whispering. The sky was crystal clear, with a few wispy clouds drifting in the distance, creating an atmosphere of exceptional tranquility.

In the night sky, stars twinkle, bright and dazzling. The Big Dipper is clearly visible, hanging in the sky like a giant dipper, guiding the way. Vega, the star of Lyra, hangs high in the sky, shimmering with a soft light, as if telling ancient legends.

The moon was half-hidden in the clouds, casting a soft, silvery light. Moonlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground. The fountain in the park, illuminated by the night lights, shimmered with water droplets, as if echoing the starlight.

With her mind cleared, Yue had the energy to start thinking about other things. She smiled softly, silently thinking, "I'm actually able to know so much thanks to Xiaodeng's influence. But this counts as an astronomy club activity, right? Maybe I can try writing it in the activity log tomorrow?"

Just as Yue was letting her mind wander through a jumble of thoughts, her gaze was drawn to a sudden figure. She saw a pink Ling Mengba teddy bear, holding a bunch of colorful balloons, slowly walking past her.

A puzzled expression appeared on Yue's face. Her brows furrowed slightly, and her mouth opened slightly as she uttered a questioning sound: "?"

She rubbed her eyes and realized it wasn't her imagination; a pink bear doll holding balloons did indeed walk past her.

She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. The pink bear doll was indeed real, the balloon in its hand swaying gently in the night breeze, reflecting a kaleidoscope of colors.

"Wait a minute... this bear looks familiar?" Yue's mind raced, searching her memory. Her gaze was fixed on the pink bear, a faint sense of familiarity creeping into her heart.

A moment later, she finally remembered. This bear doll was none other than Michelle, the DJ from the band Hello, Happy World. They had met briefly before at Ring, and Shiina Tatsuki had introduced her to the person behind Michelle, who was none other than Hana no Misaki Okuzawa, the student council president of Hana no Misaki.

At the time, Yue was still thinking... The student council president definitely bears some responsibility for the many strange urban legends surrounding Hanasaki River.

Incidentally, the member of the Haneoka Legend Drama Club that she always regretted not meeting—Seta Kaoru—was also a member of hhw.

The other party seemed to have noticed Yue's gaze. Michelle's enormous doll-like head slowly turned and stared at Yue for a while.

"Michelle?" Yue called out tentatively, her voice tinged with doubt.

Michelle nodded slightly, the huge doll head swaying with her movements. She walked towards the moon, each step appearing clumsy yet adorable.

"Are you the keyboardist for Lixi's band?" Michelle walked over and greeted Yue.

"Hmm," Yue nodded, then asked with some confusion, "Michelle, why are you here so late?"

Michelle held up the balloon in her hand and shook it gently. A girl's voice came from under Michelle's pink hood, "I was handing out balloons to the children in the shopping street, and then I saw Tae and the others putting on a show on the side of the street, so I joined in. It was this time when it ended."

A hint of confusion crossed Yue's face, though she wasn't sure if Michelle's man below could see her expression. She frowned slightly, her eyes showing concern and worry, "Misaki-senpai...aren't you hot?"

Michelle lowered her large head slightly, as if pondering the question of the moon. Although her expression was hidden by the heavy hood, her voice still carried a hint of helplessness and teasing, "Well, it is a bit hot, but I'm used to it."

Yue sighed softly, her gaze sweeping over Michelle. Although Tokyo is located at a relatively high altitude, it was already close to June, and the nights were still quite humid. Just looking at Michelle's outfit made Yue feel sweating.

"Nobody's looking here anymore, why don't you take off your clothes and come look at the stars with me, Misaki-senpai?" Yue patted the empty seat on the bench next to her and invited Michelle (Misaki Okusawa).

“Hmm…” Michelle paused slightly upon hearing Yue’s suggestion, then nodded. She slowly removed her wig, revealing her hair, which was covered in sweat. Her cheeks were flushed from the prolonged heat, and beads of sweat on her forehead glistened under the starlight.

She gently wiped away her sweat, revealing a helpless smile. "It's actually a bit hot now that I've taken off the hood." Her voice carried a hint of fatigue, but more so of relaxation and relief.

When the performance begins: Chapter 133 HLSY

Misaki gazed at the night sky, the starlight twinkling in her eyes, bright and warm. Her gaze wandered across the starry expanse, and she subconsciously thought of what she had overheard from her heart before: that she possessed the right to name a certain planet.
