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

Sakura Sakura glanced at her and said with a light laugh, "With so many things, it's hard to imagine what you've packed."

"Seriously, is it really necessary to bring the instruments along?" Standing by the car, Peach looked at the instrument cases that were almost overflowing in the carriage, a few beads of sweat appearing on her forehead, and couldn't help but complain, "We were just going home to visit relatives, how did it turn into a tour?"

"Stop talking nonsense," Sakura Sakura said nonchalantly as she closed the trunk, her tone radiating an air of self-assurance. "If I don't bring my instrument, how am I supposed to get reimbursed? Going to a live concert or two would not only get me fully reimbursed, but I could also practice at the same time. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?" Her relaxed tone and practiced manner clearly indicated that this wasn't the first time she'd done this.

Momoko shook her head helplessly, knowing Sakura Sakura's style, and didn't say anything more.

"Hey, Xiao Mu, have you packed everything?" Xiangzi, who was standing to the side, turned around and asked with concern.

"Yes, Hailing has packed it all for me." Wakaba Mutsu nodded slightly and answered in a low voice.

"Speaking of which, Xiangzi's luggage seems surprisingly simple," Chu Hua said with a hint of surprise, noticing that Xiangzi's suitcase was a whole size smaller than everyone else's.

Xiangzi said calmly, "I only brought some basic changes of clothes."

"Eh? Didn't you bring a yukata?" Meow Dream's eyes lit up, and she suddenly leaned closer. "Meow Dream, I heard that we're going right when the fireworks festival starts! Aren't you planning to participate?"

Xiangzi shook his head gently, his tone indifferent: "I don't plan to go to the fireworks festival. When I have time, I'd like to prepare a new song in the hotel."

"Ugh~ This is so boring!" Miao Meng immediately puffed out her cheeks, looking disappointed, but she didn't intend to give up. She quickly glanced at the others, "Then, Hatsuko, Momoko, Umiko, and Mutsuko, let's go to the fireworks festival together!"

Chu Hua glanced at Sakura Sakura subconsciously, and seeing that she didn't object, smiled slightly: "There shouldn't be any problem."

Hai Ling stood to the side, her gaze calm, and replied briefly, "I have no objection."

Xiao Mu remained silent, her head bowed as if deep in thought, and did not respond.

"I'll probably be spending time with my family then." Peach shook her head and smiled as she politely declined Miaomeng's invitation. "After all, I'm mainly going back to see my family this time, so I don't have much time."

Miao Meng sighed helplessly, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her spirits: "That's alright, we can split up!"

"Alright, when we get there, Xiangzi can come with everyone. I've even prepared a yukata." Sakura Sakura smiled slightly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

As she spoke, she took a pack of cigarettes out of her pocket and handed it to the driver.

"Excuse me, sir, could you please help us move our luggage over there? Please take it to 9<陵5鏏企艺."

The driver took the cigarette, skillfully pulled one out and tucked it behind his ear, a faint smile playing on his lips. He patted the steering wheel and nodded: "Don't worry, see you at sunrise."

With a deep roar from the car engine, the driver slowly drove away.

Sakura Sakura looked in the direction the car had disappeared, turned around, clapped her hands lightly, and said confidently, "Alright, the luggage problem is solved. Everyone can just meet at the airport tomorrow."

It's Peach's turn, meow! Will she be able to come from behind and win?

Bonus Chapter: A Trip Up the Mountain - Chapter Two - Could it be such a coincidence?

Takamatsu pulled her suitcase, her eyes constantly looking left and right, like a curious little dog surveying her surroundings.

Narita Airport's main hall is spacious and bright, with a bustling flow of people moving about, and huge electronic screens constantly displaying flight information.

The lamp's gaze wandered among these unfamiliar scenes, appearing both curious and somewhat nervous.

"Is this Xiaodeng's first time on an airplane?" A gentle voice came from behind.

Chihaya Aine pulled her suitcase and walked quickly to the lamp, her smile bright and her eyes sparkling with excitement.

She seemed ready to give a detailed explanation of flight knowledge about the lamp.

Deng paused for a moment, shook her head, and said with a slight smile, "No... I already flew last time when I went out with Xiaoyue and Lixi. But..." She looked around, "This is my first time at Narita Airport."

Upon hearing the lamp's reply, Ai-yin's excited expression froze slightly, then revealed a hint of frustration.

Her pink hair swayed slightly with her disappointment, like an inflated balloon suddenly deflated. She pouted and muttered under her breath, "Oh, I see... Looks like my explanation was useless."

Seeing Aine's somewhat disappointed expression, a pang of pity rose in Deng's heart.

She reached out and gently grasped Ai Yin's hand: "I'm happy to listen to whatever Ai Yin wants to say, no matter what it is."

Ai Yin was stunned, and the disappointment on her face vanished in an instant.

However, just then, Nagasaki Motoyo's voice came from the side out of the blue: "We can talk about these scientific facts later. Let's go get our boarding passes first."

Su Shi leisurely pulled her suitcase past them.

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

"Why are you guys so slow?" Li Xi stood with her arms crossed, a hint of helplessness in her eyes, her gaze falling on Ai Yin and Su Shi who were slowly walking over. Her tone carried a touch of reproach, as if she had been waiting for quite some time.

Beside her, Hinasaki was carefully holding the sleeping Kaname.

Lenai curled up in Yue's arms, her cheek pressed against his chest, like a lazy kitten, her breathing even, as if she were in a dream.

Yue gently patted Lena's back. As for why she did this, it was partly because the cat was sleepy, and partly to prevent the kitten from suddenly waking up and running around.

"Sorry... it took us a while to find our way." Gao Songdeng quickly stepped forward and explained somewhat apologetically.

Li hope was slightly taken aback, then realized that her words might have caused Deng to misunderstand, and quickly waved her hand: "Ah, no, I wasn't talking about you, Deng."

A slightly embarrassed smile appeared on her face, and her tone softened a bit.

Aine and Su Shi seemed unconcerned about Li hope's "complaints," maintaining their own pace as they slowly approached, clearly having grown accustomed to Li Xi's words.

"Xiao Ai, did you forget anything?" Hinasaki gently reminded them.

Lena was still sleeping peacefully in her arms, like a kitten curled up in a warm embrace, completely undisturbed by the noise around her.

“No problem!” Chihaya Aine immediately raised her hand, her tone full of confidence, her face bearing her usual sunny smile, as if she would never forget anything important.

Gao Songdeng stood to the side, and although her voice was not loud, she replied earnestly, "I... I brought it too." She lowered her head slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of nervousness, as if she was checking again to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything.

Nagasaki Motoyo, displaying her "motherly" instincts, said meticulously, "Anyway, let's double-check. Have you all taken your tickets?" Her voice was gentle yet undeniable, as if she were checking things out for everyone at the last minute.

"Of course!" Chihaya Aine confidently patted her pocket, ready to prove her "reliability" once again. However, the moment her fingers touched her pocket, her smile froze slightly.

Where's the plane ticket? The ticket, which should have been in her pocket, was nowhere to be found. Aine's face instantly turned panicked, and she instinctively searched through all her pockets.

"Eh? Eh—!?" Aine's expression quickly shifted from confident to panicked as she frantically searched every possible hiding place for the plane ticket. Her eyes darted around, as if searching for some kind of rescue.

"Ai, what's wrong? Did you lose your plane ticket?" Hinasaki asked with concern, her tone tinged with urgency.

"If you really can't find it, you should go find a staff member to get a replacement as soon as possible," Li hope suggested quickly, seeing Ai Yin's panic, and calmly analyzed the solution.

Chihaya Aine was utterly embarrassed, a blush creeping up her face to her ears. She silently prayed for a miracle, but could only mutter helplessly, "I clearly remember it being here just now..."

Su Shi frowned slightly, walked closer to Ai Yin, patted her shoulder gently, and said in a gentle but serious tone, "Don't worry, let's look for it again. If we really can't find it, we'll do as Li Xi said and get a new one."

Ai Yin nodded, still somewhat absentmindedly continuing to search, while the others began to help her look for the plane ticket she might have lost.

"Found it!" A relieved smile instantly bloomed on Chihaya Aine's face. She pulled a slightly crumpled plane ticket from deep inside her bag, held it up in the air, and her face showed obvious pride and relief.

"Phew..." The rest of Mygo breathed a sigh of relief, the weight that had been hanging over their hearts finally lifted. Their expressions gradually relaxed, and the tension in the air dissipated.

Lixi put her hands on her hips, glared at Aiyin, and couldn't help but scold her: "You're such a wimp! You should keep such important things safe. How can you not even remember where you put your plane ticket?"

Aine was a little embarrassed by Lixi's scolding. She put her hands together in an apologetic gesture, her face full of remorse: "I'm so sorry! I accidentally put some things in my luggage messily yesterday when I was packing. I guess that's when the plane ticket was moved."

"Remember next time, you can't just leave your plane ticket lying around." Su Shi's voice carried a hint of reproach, but remained gentle.

Ai Yin smiled awkwardly, inwardly blaming herself for being too careless. Then her eyes lit up, and she gave a compensatory smile: "As an apology, I'll go buy everyone some drinks!"

After saying that, Ai Yin didn't wait for anyone else to respond before rushing towards the convenience store next to the airport, as if that could make up for her mistake.

"Eh? Aine!" Hinasaki called out instinctively, trying to stop her, but Aine had already run far away, her speed like the wind making it impossible to catch up.

Xiaoyue shook her head helplessly, her gaze following Aiyin's departing figure, muttering to herself, "Things at the airport are so expensive... is it really okay?"

Bonus Chapter: Mountain Trip - Chapter 3 - Is it really that coincidental?

"Hmm... the prices at the airport are really expensive!" Chihaya Aine stood in front of the beverage section of the convenience store, her brows furrowed as she stared at the exorbitantly priced drinks on the shelves, her face filled with conflict and helplessness.

Although Aine's family was wealthy enough to afford studying abroad in Dundun, she still felt somewhat displeased by the airport's outrageously high prices.

She bit her lip, hesitating whether to choose a cheaper drink.

Just then, from the other side of the container came a voice that echoed her complaint: "The things here are just too extravagant."

Aine paused, startled. That voice… sounded familiar. She looked up, frowning as she tried to remember who it was. At the same time, the other person seemed to have the same feeling; both of them stopped what they were doing and looked in each other's direction.

"That voice... sounds familiar?" They had the same question almost at the same time.

Aine moved a little closer, her heart inexplicably racing, while the other person walked towards her. As the distance closed, their eyes met, and a familiar face appeared in their pupils. In an instant, both of them widened their eyes in surprise.

"Aine-kun!"

"Xiangzi sauce!"

The two called out each other's names almost simultaneously, their voices filled with surprise and joy.

After a brief moment of stunned silence, the air fell still. Their gazes met in mid-air, their eyes filled with surprise and disbelief.

After a few seconds of silence, Toyokawa Shoko broke the ice first, asking with a gentle smile, "Aine-san, are you also going on a long trip?"

Chihaya Aine nodded slightly: "Yes, everyone at Mygo has decided to take this opportunity to go out and have some fun together, and relax."

Upon hearing this, Xiangzi's eyes lit up instantly.

The images of Xiaodeng and Xiaoyue immediately flashed into her mind, and her mood became even happier.

"Is that so? Does that mean I can see Xiaodeng and Xiaoyue too?" A hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.

Ai Yin nodded, then asked curiously, "Xiangzi-chan, are you also going on a long trip?"

"Hmm." Xiangzi gently stroked a strand of hair behind Baqi's ear, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle tone with a hint of casualness: "Kurosawa took leave to go home to visit his family, so the members of Ave Mujica decided to take this opportunity to go on a trip together and do a mini tour."

"Wow, a tour..." Aine's eyes flashed with longing when she heard this, then she sighed with some regret, "It's a pity we didn't bring any instruments this time, otherwise we could have performed together with the members of Mygo and Ave Mujica like last time, and have a joint live performance."

Xiangzi smiled slightly, his eyes gentle yet firm, and reassured her, "It's alright, there will always be opportunities. We'll have many chances to perform together on stage."

Aine's face lit up with a smile again. Although she was a little disappointed, she quickly recovered. She shrugged gently and said with a smile, "Well... best wishes in advance to Shoko-chan and everyone else for a great time and a successful tour!"

"Thank you, and I wish everyone at Mygo a pleasant journey." Xiangzi nodded in response, his eyes filled with sincere blessings.

The two exchanged a smile, picked up their drinks, waved to each other, and then turned to walk towards where their respective bands were gathered.

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

"Everyone! Guess who I just saw at the convenience store?" Ai Yin, carrying a bag of drinks, ran excitedly back to the Mygo line, her eyes sparkling with excitement and her voice carrying a hint of mystery.

"Who is it?" Yue asked, feigning curiosity as she carefully combed Lena's hair, who had just woken up. Lena squinted, like a lazy kitten, her head drooping slightly as Yue's hands wandered through her hair, completely unaware of what was happening around her.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Ai Yin immediately put on a smug expression, like someone revealing the truth on a TV show. She deliberately slowed down her speech and said with a smile, "It's Xiangzi! To be precise, all the members of Ave Mujica are at the airport right now!"

"Xiao Xiang?" Xiao Deng exclaimed in surprise.
