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

Li hope bit her lip, thought for a moment, and finally chose to answer truthfully: "The night before last..."

After listening, Hai Ling nodded, her eyes remaining calm and composed, showing no particular emotion.

She slightly raised the corners of her mouth, but in that instant, Chu Hua keenly noticed the fleeting loneliness in her eyes.

"Really? Well... Lixi, I wish you happiness," Hailing said calmly.

————Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story——————

While the Hanasaki River trio created a strange atmosphere, the other members of Mygo also started "socializing" with other bands.

"..." Nagasaki Motoyo smiled slightly, but a few beads of cold sweat appeared on her forehead.

"Little Suse, would you like some cookies? These are freshly baked by Yamabuki Bakery~" Yamabuki Saya smiled gently, holding a bag of fragrant cookies and kindly handing it to her.

Su Shi looked at the golden cookies, their surfaces glistening slightly, as if she could still feel the warmth of baking.

She quickly composed herself, flashing a perfect social smile. "Wow, thank you so much, Saaya-senpai," she replied in a light tone, trying her best to appear natural and poised.

"It looks really delicious~" Su Shi took the cookies, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude.

"If you want to eat other desserts, Xiaosushi, we also have other pastries and breads from Yamabuki Bakery~" Saaya replied with a smile.

"Mmm!" Rimi suddenly leaned in, a chocolate conch shell sandwich dangling from her lips, her eyes sparkling. "I highly recommend this chocolate conch shell sandwich! It's absolutely delicious!"

Looking at Rimi's satisfied expression, Su Shi maintained a polite smile, but her inner thoughts were already running wild: "Why did you bring so much bread? Did you know this meeting would be a long one, so you brought plenty of drinks and snacks?"

Su Shi was trying hard to maintain a proper smile, but when she heard the voice behind her, her smile froze slightly.

"Waaah! Su Shishi, you're actually sneaking snacks here!" Miss Ai Yin strongly condemned Su Shishi's behavior of eating alone.

Hearing the nickname she had been trying so hard to suppress, Su Shi's heart tightened. She suppressed her inner turmoil and continued to maintain her signature "business smile," trying to appear as natural as possible.

Seeing the little interaction between the two, Sha Ling still had a gentle smile on her face. She reached into the bread bag and took out some more cookies, handing them to Aine. "Perfect timing, you can have some too! These are freshly baked, they smell especially good."

Aine's attention instantly shifted when she saw the cookies, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She accepted them without hesitation, saying, "Thank you, Saya-senpai!"

"Hey, 'Su Shishi'? That's such a cute name." Touko's eyes sparkled with excitement as she leaned closer.

When Su Shi heard Kiritani Touko's voice, she looked up and saw Touko looking at her curiously with her usual cheerful smile.

"Ah, this must be Nagasaki Motoyo from Mygo, right? I think she's also Tsukimori's junior?" Touko said, looking at Motoyo.

Su Shi couldn't help but sigh inwardly. Surely the nickname "Su Shishi" wouldn't spread in the band circle.

She maintained her professional smile and calmly replied, "Yes, it's nice to meet you, Kiritani-senpai."

Upon hearing this, Touko's eyes lit up. "Oh my~ Su Shishi actually knows me? Could it be that you're a fan of Morfonica?"

Su Shi nodded, her attitude still humble and polite. "I saw Morfonica perform when I was in junior high school, and I was very impressed with Morfonica back then."

She paused briefly, looked at Touko with gentle eyes, and continued, "Not to mention, the recent revival of the Tsuki no Mori Music Festival was also thanks to the efforts of Morfonica's predecessors."

Hearing these words, Touko's smile widened, and she raised her eyebrows proudly. "Wow~ I'm really happy to hear you say that! But hearing these words means that what we've done has really impacted the younger students, which makes it all worthwhile!"

"Could it be... that all high school girls are this outgoing these days? I have a feeling of déjà vu with Touko-senpai and Aine." Su Shi sighed inwardly.

Touko is clearly the type who can easily break down any barriers and quickly close the distance with people. Ironically, my own social skills rely mainly on rationality and restraint, and I feel somewhat at a loss in the face of Touko's enthusiasm.

“However, it should be Xiaobai who did the lead vocals of Morfonica and solved the Moon Forest Music Festival. Su Shishi, you actually know me? Are you a fan of mine?” Touko further closed the distance between herself and Su Shishi.

Su Shi tried her best to maintain a polite smile, but her mind was racing, trying to figure out how to respond to this overly familiar senior.

Her eyes flickered slightly before she finally spoke, "Ah... well... that's because Kirigaya-senpai... was already quite famous... she's always been the focus of everyone's discussion..."

Su Shi's tone carried a hint of embarrassment.

After all, in a prestigious school like Tsuki no Mori, the presence of Kiritani Touko, who is clearly out of place among the other young ladies, and unlike Ras's Masking, makes it difficult for her not to become famous.

"Oh dear~ No matter what, Su Shishi is still my fan." Touko shook Su Shishi's hand familiarly.

"Want a photo? Or would you prefer an autograph? These opportunities don't come often!"

"Then... let's take a picture..." Su Shi's face showed a helpless expression.

"Oh, don't be so reserved!" Touko smiled brightly, seemingly unconcerned about Su Shi's awkwardness. "Since you're my fan, taking pictures is a must! Come on, come closer~ Don't be shy!"

Su Shi's lips twitched slightly; she could almost feel a chill creeping up her spine. Faced with such a direct request, she could only bite the bullet and reply, "Yes, yes... senior."

Touko didn't hold back at all, already pulling out her phone and starting to find the right angle. "Come on, Su Shishi, move a little this way. Yes, raise your head slightly, look at the camera. Okay, 3, 2, 1... Yeah!"

"Wow~ yeah~"

Under Touko's command, Sose still wore a formulaic smile on her face, but her heart was already filled with bitterness.

"I really shouldn't have come today."

"Su Shishi, come and see the results!" Touzi excitedly showed her his phone.

Su Shi looked down at the photo helplessly. Her smile in the photo was obviously a bit stiff, and her eyes looked slightly unnatural.

Touko, on the other hand, was all smiles, seemingly without a care in the world. In contrast, Suze felt like a mere background prop, utterly lifeless.

"Isn't that great!" Touko, completely oblivious to Su Shi's inner turmoil, continued excitedly, "We can take a few more pictures from different angles!"

"No need... I think this one is enough." Su Shi immediately shook her head, afraid that if she took any more pictures, the expression on her face would completely break down.

Touko, however, still wasn't going to let her off the hook. "Are you sure you don't need to? How about another front-facing shot, or maybe add a pose?"

"Really, it's not necessary!" Su Shi was already struggling to cope, so she quickly waved her hand, praying in her heart that this "photo-taking incident" would end soon.

Just as she was silently praying that Touko-senpai would finish taking photos and leave quickly, Chihaya Aine suddenly interjected, "Hey, touko-senpai, can I take a picture with you?"

Su Shi's eyes narrowed instantly. She looked at Ai Yin in surprise, and a sense of despair washed over her.

Touko readily agreed with a smile, "Of course! Come on, strike a nice pose!"

As she spoke, Touko took out her phone and stood side by side with Aine. The two of them happily struck various poses, completely immersed in the joyful atmosphere of taking photos.

Su Shi stood to the side, her lips twitching. Her smile grew increasingly stiff, and her expression was on the verge of collapse.

"Ah, Su Shi, it's spoiled." Not far away, Xiao Mu quietly drank her mango juice, her gaze fixed on Su Shi's stiff expression.

Climax Stage: Chapter Seventy-Six - The Troubles of Each Position

Hinasaki lay listlessly on the table in the family dining room, her eyes slightly open, staring at the empty table in front of her, and sighed.

The joint performance meeting just now was long and tedious, lasting a full hour, but in the end no substantial conclusions were reached.

"Wow... I didn't expect this meeting to last so long..." Yue muttered softly, her face buried in her arms, her voice somewhat indistinct.

In the end, Kasumi was so hungry that she suggested that everyone go to a family restaurant for dinner. Everyone agreed and went to the family restaurant.

Meanwhile, on the way, the most reliable members had already finalized the theme and order of the performance.

"So... why didn't we just have these people come to the meeting from the beginning..." Yue muttered helplessly, slamming her head heavily on the table as if she had no strength left to lift it.

Following her gaze, I could see a few people from the guitar group next door chatting together.

——————Guitar Group Situation——————

"Sister! Would you like some fries?" Hikawa Hina ran up to Saya with a big smile, holding a bag of golden fries that were steaming hot, as if they had just been taken out of the oil.

Saya glanced at the fries in Hina's hand, frowned, and asked with some confusion, "...This restaurant doesn't seem to sell fries, does it? When did you buy them?"

"Hehe~" Hina gave her sister a smug look and winked. "Because I wanted to eat fries, I guessed that my sister must also want to eat fries, so I just ordered some takeout, and it just arrived."

"..." Saya sighed helplessly, but still picked up a French fry and put it in her mouth. The French fry was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a salty and fragrant aroma. It was indeed delicious.

She said softly, "Thank you."

Chihaya Aine, sitting at the guitar table, brightened up, excitedly watching the two sisters interact. She felt like she had just gotten a piece of gossip, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Wow... does Saya-senpai spoil Hina-senpai this much?"

“...Terrifying woman..." This time, Rakuna was unusually well-behaved and sat next to Aine, not running around.

Hearing Rakuna's whisper, Saya frowned slightly, turned her head, and looked at her with a calm but somewhat scrutinizing gaze. "You are... the lead guitarist of Mygo? I think your name is Kaname Rakuna?"

Startled by being called out, Ryuna looked up and met Saya's gaze before hiding behind Aine.

"Does Saya-senpai know Rakuna?" Aine asked curiously, turning to look at Saya.

“Um… When I was a disciplinary committee member in Hanasakigawa, Rakuna’s issues often appeared on my desk,” Saya explained.

“Hahaha…” Ai-yin smiled helplessly, clearly knowing full well about Rakuna’s usual personality.

Just then, Mikasa Mika joined the conversation with a smile, "Saya-senpai is very famous in Hanasaki River, and even now we often hear people mention her."

"Oh, right, Miss Hatsuka also studies at Hanasakigawa." Aine turned around immediately upon hearing the familiar name.

Turning the conversation to Misaka Chuka after the wine was finished, his eyes were full of curiosity, "By the way, Miss Chuka, what made you choose to join Ave Mujica? I remember being quite surprised when I saw the news."

Misaka Hatsuka's smile remained as gentle as ever, her tone relaxed and formulaic, "Because I want to try being a guitarist and vocalist."

"Guitar vocalist! When I first joined Mygo, I was thinking of becoming a guitar vocalist!" Ai Yin immediately picked up the conversation, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes. "But later I realized that rhythm guitar suits me better."

Just then, Kasumi Toyama of Poppin'Party heard this and immediately perked up, leaning over to suggest, "Ah~ how about Aine tries being a guitarist and vocalist? Everyone in Poppin'Party can accompany you! It'll be absolutely dazzling!"

Aine was taken aback by Kasumi's enthusiasm and quickly waved her hand, laughing somewhat awkwardly: "Ahaha... never mind. I feel great in Mygo right now, and rhythm guitar suits me pretty well too."

"Oh, right, why did Momoko-senpai suddenly want to form a band and join Mujica?" Aine looked at Momoko Kurosawa, who was quietly watching the drama unfold.

"Huh? Ah..." Peach, who was enjoying her melon, didn't expect the topic to suddenly shift to her.

"I want to try something new, and I also want to test whether a stage play can be combined with a currently popular girl band," she explained.

"So, the MC segments in Ave Mujica's performances are always presented as stage plays? That's great! I want to ask Light if we can perform them as stage plays too," Aine said enviously.

"I've even thought of a name. I'll call myself Anon Tokyo!"

"..." Little Mu sat there obediently, drinking mango juice, and she couldn't really join in their conversation.
