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

The next episode will feature AG's classic meme.

Happy birthday, little pink-haired girl, Chihaya Aine!

Stage Climax: Chapter Sixty-Five - Babaenbo

After confirming that Yue had fallen into a deep sleep, Lixi gently closed the door and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, as she turned to leave, the other four people standing in the corridor stared at her intently, their eyes filled with curiosity and enigmatic smiles.

Li hope was startled by this scene and couldn't help but take a step back, her face full of confusion: "Wha...what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Ai Yin quickly laughed it off and waved her hand, trying to cover up the strange atmosphere. "No...it's nothing! We were just thinking, shouldn't we think of a way to help Xiao Yue get better sooner?"

Distracted by this, Riki remembered what Aine had said earlier, "Ah...didn't you just say that you found some treatment methods by asking Afterglow's senior?"

“Yeah.” Ai Yin took out her phone and showed the chat history on the screen. “These are supposedly the methods that the other members used when Afterglow’s lead singer was sick. Apparently, Ran-senpai recovered on the same day.”

Li hope looked at the text on her phone screen and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Is it really that amazing? Xiao Yue doesn't seem to have a common cold."

Ai Yin nodded confidently, "Hmph~ Li Xi, you're so ignorant. The stories of Afterglow-senpai encountering ghosts at school have already spread throughout Haneoka. Mocha-senpai told me with absolute certainty that their methods are definitely effective."

Lixi sighed helplessly. Although she was skeptical of this "special" treatment method, she thought again that it shouldn't do any harm, and since it was Afterglow's suggestion, she figured she might as well give it a try.

She finally relented and nodded, "Then... let's give it a try."

Su Shi leaned closer, carefully examined the text on the phone screen, and read out the first message: "Ginger tea and porridge... to treat a cold?"

The suggestion seemed reasonable, and Su Shi nodded thoughtfully. "Both ginger and porridge are indeed good for the body, especially when you're sick."

"I already fed Yue the porridge this morning," Li hope said.

"Then I'll go borrow the Yue family's kitchen to make some ginger tea." Su Shi said and got to work, turning around and going downstairs to prepare the ingredients.

Lixi took the phone from Aiyin and continued reading. Her gaze fell on the next suggestion, and her lips twitched involuntarily. She couldn't help but read it aloud: "When you have a cold, you should sweat more..."

She paused, glanced at the temperature forecast on her phone, and then simply turned off the air conditioner.

As she operated the device, she muttered to herself, "I hope this really works..."

"Wrap a green onion or garlic around your neck?" Xiaodeng continued reading the third measure.

Then she stared at everyone with wide eyes, "This... does it really work?"

An awkward silence fell over the room.

"It seems there is indeed a folk remedy of using scallions to treat colds, but are these two wrapped around the neck really effective?" Li hope now felt that the suggestions made by the people in Afterglow seemed a bit unreliable.

"Stuff onions into your ears?" Li hope said with disbelief on her face.

Thinking about that scene, her hand trembled slightly, feeling that the suggestion was a bit too outrageous.

"Can the scent of eucalyptus trees cure a cold?" By this point, the expression on his face could no longer remain calm.

Lixi sighed softly, her expression becoming even more troubled, and she had more and more questions about Afterglow's treatment method.

"Who on earth came up with these tricks?" Li hope couldn't help but complain, her lips twitching slightly.

Xiao Deng raised his hand and touched his chin, seemingly pondering the connection between the scent of eucalyptus and its ability to treat colds.

"Little Light... she probably won't believe it, right?" Aine thought, looking into Little Light's eyes.

"Can these really cure...a cold?" Lixi's voice was full of doubt.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong, and the more questions arose in her mind. Could it be that Senior Mitake Ran recovered from her cold back then by doing these things?

“The Ungaruganga tribe believes that colds are caused by demons, and that praying to the spirit Baba Enbo will cure them,” Little Lenai read out the last sentence.

The moment this suggestion was made, the entire room fell silent. The group exchanged glances, and an eerie atmosphere filled the air.

Li hope felt a little confused and couldn't help but ask, "Wait a minute... Le Nai, could you read that line again?"

"The Ungaruganga people believe that colds are caused by demons, and that praying to the spirit Babamboo will cure them."

"Baba Enbo?" Xiao Deng tilted his head in confusion and repeated, his tone full of bewilderment.

Ai-yin stared at her phone in disbelief, unable to resist exclaiming, "Does this Pokémon really exist? This...something's not right, is it?"

Compared to the previous suggestions about onion and eucalyptus scents, this suggestion about the fairy Babaenbo seemed the least reliable to her.

“No…” Li hope said, “Actually, this method is the most likely one.”

"Huh?"

Everyone's eyes immediately turned to Shiina Tatsuki, waiting for her further explanation.

“Think about it,” Lixi took a deep breath and patiently explained, “the reason Yue caught a cold is because of Miss Ghost’s possession. This is not an ordinary cold. Instead of using ordinary cold treatments, why not try these prayer methods? They might actually work.”

Ai Yin nodded thoughtfully: "So... Li hope, you mean... we should use the prayer method of the God of Babaenbo to solve Yue's cold problem?"

"Aiyin...do you have any prayer methods for the god Babaenbo?" Lixi continued to inquire.

"Eh... let me see, ah! Yes, Mocha-senpai posted a very detailed method," Aine exclaimed.

"Okay! Let's give it a try!"

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

Su Shi, carrying a cup of ginger tea, gently pushed open Yue's door.

She pushed the door open a crack, her eyes scanning the scene inside, and she immediately froze. She quickly closed the door, her back pressed against the door panel, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"What...did I just see?" Su Shi muttered to herself, her mind filled with doubt.

She took a deep breath and carefully pushed the door open again, wondering if she was seeing things.

She carefully pushed the door open again, but nothing had changed inside the room.

The door was pushed open again, and the scene inside the room remained unchanged.

Lixi, Aiyin, Xiaodeng, and Lena were surrounding Yue, who was lying on the bed.

Lying on the bed, Yue looked utterly helpless, her entire body wrapped in the blanket, with only her pleading eyes showing.

On the moon's blanket, Su Shi saw a very abstract drawing, like strange symbols drawn randomly with her hands, which looked simple and absurd.

The four of them circled the moon, constantly muttering strange words, such as "Baba Enbo".

"Waaah!" Yue noticed Su Shi opening the door again and looked at her with pleading eyes.

Stage Climax: Chapter Sixty-Six: Babaenbo God is really useful!

"What...what are you doing?" Nagasaki Motoyo asked, looking at the bewildered behavior of the people in front of her.

"Ah! Su Shishi, would you like to come with us? We're praying to the god Baba Enbo, hoping that Xiaoyue will get better soon." Chihaya Aine extended an invitation to Nagasaki Su Shishi, who was standing at the door.

"No!" Nagasaki Motoyo blurted out almost instinctively when faced with the pink-haired girl's request.

No matter how you look at it, this bizarre "ritual" is just too abnormal.

Especially this "Baba Enbo God", just hearing the name makes it seem unreliable, like something made up on the spot.

“Su Shi…” Yue looked extremely weak at this moment, her pale cheeks covered in sweat, and her eyes revealed a helpless expression.

What left Su Shi speechless was that Yue had green onions and garlic hanging around her neck, clearly the result of this group's antics.

Su Shi then realized that the temperature in the room seemed a bit too high.

"You guys... turned off the air conditioner?" Su Shi asked, looking at the turned-off air conditioner.

"Yeah, they say sweating more can help you recover from a cold faster," Xiaodeng said.

"..." Su Shi's lips twitched slightly. Looking at the green onions and garlic hanging around Yue's neck, she instantly understood that these were obviously their handiwork as well.

"What kind of treatment is this..." Su Shi sighed silently, feeling that she simply couldn't understand the logic of these people.

She stepped forward and gently removed the scallions and garlic from Yue's neck, saying softly, "Alright, stop bothering Yue. Let her rest."

Yue looked at Su Shi with eyes full of gratitude.

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

After feeding Yue ginger tea, Su Shi gently closed Yue's door and turned to walk back to the living room.

Her gaze swept over the four Mygo members sitting on the sofa, lingering on each one for a moment before finally settling on Chihaya Aine.

"Tell me... was it your idea again?" Su Shi's tone was calm, her eyes fixed on Aine.

Seeing that Nagasaki Motoyo immediately suspected her, Aine put on an innocent expression and said in a wronged voice, "Waaah, Motoyo, do you really not trust me?"

Her tone carried a hint of coquettishness, as if she had truly suffered a great injustice.

Hearing Aine's words, Su Shi frowned slightly, and a brief doubt actually arose in her heart. However, she glanced at the other people in the room again, and finally returned her gaze to Aine, her eyes filled with certainty.

"Mm." Su Shi nodded, her tone filled with silent affirmation.

"Pfft..." Shiina Riki, who had been silent all along, finally couldn't help but laugh.

"Rikki!" Upon hearing Riki's laughter, Aine immediately pouted, glaring at her with a hint of coquettish anger.

“Sorry…” Li hope smiled and waved her hand, then turned to Su Shi and admitted, “Actually… I wanted to try this method.”

Su Shi looked at Li hope with some surprise upon hearing this.

Li hope is usually quite serious, so why would she choose to try a method that looks so abnormal?

"I want to try using supernatural methods to fight against supernatural phenomena," Li hope explained, looking into Su Shi's eyes.

Upon hearing this explanation, Su Shi nodded slightly. Although Li hope was usually quite serious, from this perspective, perhaps she was genuinely considering how to solve Yue's problem.

If ghost-induced colds do exist, it might be worth trying some unconventional methods.

However, Su Shi's gaze fell on the scallions and garlic on the table, and her brows furrowed once again.

Su Shi looked at the few cloves of garlic and green onions on the table, her brows furrowing slightly. She pointed at the ingredients, her tone tinged with helplessness: "What's the deal with those garlic and green onions?"

"This... there's also a theory that it can treat colds... anyway, it won't have any effect, so it doesn't hurt to give it a try..." Aine's eyes immediately darted away, her gaze drifting to the side.

Su Shi looked helplessly at Ai Yin's expression and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Even though she was busy in the kitchen, they somehow got hold of these things and used these strange "folk remedies" to treat Yue's cold.

Her gaze swept over the scallions and garlic again, and she gently shook her head: "Do you really think this stuff is useful?"

Ai-yin was clearly a little guilty, her hands instinctively crossed over her chest, her eyes darting around, and she stammered, "Uh...maybe it really will work..."
