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

"It seems this information really did come in handy." Li hope put away her phone, changed into clean clothes, and turned to face Hinasaki with an innocent look.

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

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the windows of the restaurant, adding a touch of warmth to the room with its soft glow.

Hinasaki, Shiina Tatsuki, and Kurosawa Momoko sat at a small table in the corner, quietly enjoying their breakfast.

Members of Mygo and Ave Mujica around couldn't help but cast curious glances at this scene.

Hinasaki put down her chopsticks, glanced at the sandwich on Shiina Ritsuki's plate, and a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

She coughed lightly, as if organizing her thoughts, and then tentatively asked, "Lixi, your sandwich... how about I try a bite?"

She smiled slightly and pushed the buckwheat noodles in her bowl towards Lixi, "In exchange, you can try my noodles."

Shiina Riki raised an eyebrow slightly, a doting smile appearing on her lips, and casually pushed the sandwich in front of Hinasaki, "Just say you want some, no need for any exchange."

Seeing this, Hinasaki didn't stand on ceremony. She carefully picked up the sandwich, took a small bite, and a satisfied expression appeared on her face.

Just as she was chewing, Momoko Kurosawa nudged the rice ball in her hand and asked, "Satsuki, would you like to try my rice ball too?" Her words were tinged with a hint of probing.

Hinasaki paused for a moment, looked up at Momoko, then smiled unconsciously, reached out and took the rice ball, took a small bite, and savored the seaweed and fish floss inside.

"What exactly happened to those three last night?" Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the three women, Tsuki, Momoko, and Riki, who seemed to have been revitalized, and couldn't help but mutter to herself, her face full of doubt.

"Who knows? I came down this morning and saw that they were already back to normal." Chihaya Aine frowned, her eyes revealing the same confusion.

Seeing this, Takamatsu Akari smiled with satisfaction. "Their relationship... seems to be closer than before."

Lena stood to the side, her eyes sparkling: "Interesting girls..."

Her intuition told her that something had definitely happened between the three of them.

The members of Ave Mujica, watching the interaction between the three, exchanged glances with somewhat strange expressions.

"They...have made up?" Hachiman Kairin frowned slightly, her gaze shifting between Hinasaki, Shiina Tatsuki, and Kurosawa Momoko. Watching the three of them share breakfast, there was even a warm atmosphere between them, and she couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Yutenji Nyanmu tilted her head, a hint of doubt in her eyes, then nodded gently. "Nyanmu thinks that the plan we discussed last night might be canceled."

Last night, they even teamed up with several members of Mygo to devise a "battle plan" to find out what exactly happened between the three of them and see if it could be of any help.

Unexpectedly, such a big change occurred between them in just one day.

Bonus Chapter: A Trip to the Mountain: Chapter 43 Fireworks in Your Eyes, You in My Eyes

In the afternoon, everyone packed their luggage and then walked out the door together, strolling through the city and enjoying the last leisurely moments of their holiday.

Sunlight streamed down the street, a gentle breeze blew, and the street was bustling and full of vitality. Every now and then, a few people would stop and stand in front of the small shops, admiring the various unique products.

During the event, several audience members who had come to see the performance the day before recognized them and excitedly went up to ask for autographs.

Looking at the excited Hinasaki, Lixi couldn't help but wonder: If today was just a peaceful shopping trip, why did Satsuki so eagerly drag her out of bed this morning?

She frowned slightly and glanced around—Taozi hadn't appeared since she left home that morning.

This made her even more concerned, but she didn't have the chance to ask.

As evening approached, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous dinner together, with laughter and relaxed conversation filling the table.

After dinner, Lixi was about to go back to her room to rest when she suddenly felt a warm hand gently pulling her.

Hinasaki leaned closer to her and whispered mysteriously, "Let's go for a walk."

Li hope was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask a question when he met Hinasaki's bright eyes, which seemed to contain a hint of expectation.

She didn't ask any more questions and let Hinasaki lead her out of the room.

----------

"Why are we back at Mount Hikami again?" Shiina Tatsuki asked, gently pushing aside the branches in front of him as he followed closely behind Hinasaki Tsuki.

Hinasaki walked ahead, her steps light and quick, her feet rustling softly over the thick layer of fallen leaves.

She turned around and gave Lixi a mysterious smile: "Lixi, you'll find out soon enough."

Night enveloped the entire forest, the surroundings were quiet and deep, and the moonlight filtered through the dense leaves, casting silvery spots on the ground.

The trees are towering, surrounded by vines and bushes. Occasionally, a few birds are startled and flutter into flight, breaking the tranquility of the forest.

Lixi carefully parted the branches and leaves blocking her way, occasionally getting her sleeves caught on vines and having to stop to untangle them.

The mountain path was somewhat steep, and the ground was covered with soft moss and fallen leaves. Stepping on it caused a slight sinking sensation, with a damp feel.

Lixi was slightly out of breath, watching the slippery mud under her feet, afraid that she might slip and fall.

Lixi looked up and saw Hinasaki bend over slightly, nimbly leap over a short stone step, and land steadily on the ground.

After she stopped, she looked around, her brows furrowing slightly, a hint of uncertainty in her eyes.

"Hmm... this is probably the direction." Hinasaki Tsuki murmured to herself, her gaze sweeping across the dark forest.

She had only walked this mountain path once before, and to completely recreate the route from her memory at night was obviously a considerable challenge.

Seeing this, Shiina Tatsuki couldn't help but hurry up and catch up, asking in a low voice, "Xiaoyue, where are we going?"

She looked around and found that there was only an endless dense forest around her. In the darkness, she could occasionally see the shadows of the trees through the moonlight. A tranquil atmosphere enveloped her, and there seemed to be nothing special about her.

"Sorry... just wait a moment." Hinasaki said softly, taking out a slightly crumpled piece of paper from her pocket and carefully comparing it in the dim moonlight.

She frowned slightly, her finger lightly tracing the path on the paper to confirm the route. "Hmm... first find this rock in front of me... then the tree on the right... then, walk a few more steps forward, and I should be there."

Hinasaki Tsuki raised her head, a hint of certainty in her eyes, and smiled slightly: "Alright, I understand completely now!"

Shiina Riki stood aside, listening to Hinasaki's half-understood whispers, looking at the paper in her hand, which was filled with completely incomprehensible lines and a few rather abstract patterns.

A sense of unease crept into her heart as she thought anxiously, "Xiaoyue... are you really sure you know the way?"

Fortunately, the area around Mount Hikami wasn't too large. Although Hinasaki and Riki wandered around in the forest several times and got lost two or three times because they weren't familiar with the terrain, they eventually made it to their destination.

As they passed through the last row of dense trees, a breathtaking view suddenly opened up before them, revealing a vast cliff face that resembled a natural viewing platform hidden in the mountains.

Shiina Riki held her breath, standing on the edge of the cliff, her eyes filled with amazement.

"There's actually such a place here?" she murmured, her gaze sweeping over the magnificent scenery below the cliff.

The dark forests stretched downwards in layers in the night, like an endless green ocean merging into the deep blue sky in the distance.

The city lay quietly at the foot of the mountain, shrouded in night, with scattered lights faintly visible through the thin night mist.

These faint lights, like stars scattered on the ground, echo the starry sky above, giving people a wonderful sense of tranquility.

In stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of yesterday's celebration, a tranquil atmosphere enveloped the area.

Only the faint chirping of cicadas occasionally reached my ears, as if drifting melodiously from the depths of the distant woods, interspersed with the calls of a few unknown night birds, distant and ethereal, as if playing background music for this tranquil night scene.

A gentle breeze carries the fresh, moist scent unique to the mountains and forests, and the leaves rustle in the wind as if whispering secrets.

Shiina Tatsuki looked around and had to admit that the night view was indeed quite beautiful.

But she still had some doubts: was it really worth it to go to this deep mountain forest so late at night just to see the scenery?

There's plenty of time to come over during the day, isn't there?

She turned her head to look at Hinasaki beside her, her gaze filled with inquiry and confusion. "Tsuki?"

"Lixi, you didn't see the fireworks last night, did you?"

Hinasaki said softly, slowly walking to the railing at the edge of the cliff, looking up at the vast starry sky, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Shiina Riki paused for a moment, then nodded slightly, walked to Hinasaki's side, stood beside her, and looked up at the night sky.

"Ah... um, I didn't see it." She responded softly, but couldn't help feeling puzzled.

Hinasaki glanced down at her phone, checked the time, and smiled. "It's about time."

"Huh?" Before Shiina Tatsuki could ask a question, a colorful light suddenly lit up the night sky in the distance.

A bright trail of fireworks streaked across the sky, quickly spreading out and instantly blooming into a dazzling display, illuminating the surrounding night sky with vibrant colors.

Immediately afterwards, another cluster of fireworks exploded in the air, with sparks flying everywhere like falling stars. The sparks unfolded in the air, like layers of petals, gradually blooming into incredibly beautiful colors.

Shiina Riki held her breath, gazing up at the fireworks bursting in the night sky. Her eyes followed each streak of light, reflecting countless colors: fiery red like a burning heart, deep blue like the whispers of the night, bright yellow like a shooting star falling in an instant, and pure white like the pristine first snow.

Fireworks intertwined and bloomed in her eyes, like a sea of ​​stars cascading down, brief yet brilliant, adorning the entire night sky into a dreamlike and magnificent picture.

Beside her, Hinasaki didn't go to watch the fireworks; her gaze remained quietly fixed on Shiina Tatsuki's face.

The light from the fireworks reflected in Lixi's eyes. Her expression was focused, revealing a rare gentleness and intoxication. An unconscious smile appeared on her face, as if she was completely immersed in this splendid scene.

Hinasaki's eyes were also brightened by the light, but not because of the fireworks' brilliance, but because of Riki's smile.

A subtle smile played on her lips, her gaze tender and lingering, a complex emotion welling up within her. To her, Lixi at that moment shone brighter than the fireworks bursting in the night sky.

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

In the distance, Momoko Kurosawa gently lit the fuse of a firework in her hand. The flame burned slowly along the fuse, illuminating her slightly lowered profile.

A gentle night breeze carried a slight chill, and her gaze followed the sparks about to burst forth, a complex emotion flickering in her eyes.

"It really is you." A gentle voice came from behind. Sakura Sakura quietly approached, holding two steaming cups of cocoa in her hands, and handed one of them to Momoko.

Peach took it, smiled slightly, and sighed with a hint of self-deprecation, "Miss Sakura... you even thought of that?"

“After all, only a local like you could have completed the fireworks paperwork so quickly.” Sakura Sakura smiled, her voice gentle yet understanding.

She looked up at the night sky, then returned her smiling gaze to Peach. "It's a bit chilly tonight. Let's have some cocoa to warm up, and then watch the fireworks together."

"Thank you." Peach nodded slightly, held the warm cup in both hands, and looked up at the sky.

The smile on her lips carried a hint of relief, but her gaze remained fixed on the fireworks that were about to burst into bloom.

In the distance, fireworks slowly rose into the sky, exploding in the night sky and bringing a dazzling display of light and color.

The two stood quietly, watching the lights bloom in the night sky, with only the sound of the wind and the crisp sound of fireworks exploding in their ears.

The aroma of hot cocoa wafted in the night breeze, and a sense of warmth quietly spread.

Sakura Sakura glanced at Momoko, the soft light reflecting in her eyes, and her slightly melancholy expression was especially touching under the glow of the fireworks.

BangDream: Chapter 1 draw!

Time passed slowly, and Mygo and Mujica's group had returned from Mount Hikami.

Meanwhile, the members of Mygo are at Hinasaki's large villa, waiting for the final result.
