Aspiring to be a girl in a band

"But I've decided to be a bad kid today... so I won't listen to Kirika. If Kirika wants me to go home... then come pick me up. I'll wait for Kirika until 9 o'clock."

...Arakawa Kirika frowned deeply.

She never imagined that the gentle, obedient Mu would cause her so much distress today.

"Is this considered revenge? I never thought you had such a malicious side... Or do you really want to die?"

Arakawa Kirika said coldly.

"That's not true at all!!"

This time, Mutsu's tone finally changed drastically in response to Arakawa Kirika's questioning.

Arakawa Kirika was stunned for a moment, and was about to say something when she found that Mutsu had once again cut off the call and then changed the call to a video chat.

I quickly clicked confirm, and Arakawa Kirika is now visible.

Mu Na Shuang Tong Qun Yi Er Ling San Er Ling Qi Si Ba Hong eyes.

Arakawa Kirika was a little surprised.

Because during the conversation just now, Mu's emotions seemed very stable, and even she didn't notice it.

When exactly did Mu cry, and at what moment?

Mu's hair now looks a bit messy, which is clearly the work of the wind.

And from her eyes, which were constantly brimming with tears, Arakawa Kirika could still clearly see some tear stains that had not yet been wiped away.

This means that the girl didn't just start crying now, but had been... shedding tears on and off all along.

Oh no… Arakawa Kirika rubbed her chest, the sudden stinging pain making her very uncomfortable.

"I don't want to die... I really don't want to die..."

Mu muttered something in a low voice.

But Arakawa Kirika could no longer say things like, "If you don't want to die, wouldn't it be safer to take a few steps back?"

She felt as if something was blocking her throat, making it impossible for her to speak.

"I want to... be with Wuhua, and live together."

“But if I don’t have the determination to jump, Wuhua won’t come to see me… So, if Wuhua really wants to take me home, then come and get me… From now on, I will no longer speak to Wuhua.”

The instant Mutsu's words fell, Arakawa Kirika saw...

The sky in the phone screen began to hang upside down.

All the images were spinning rapidly, and then... with a loud bang, the images cut off.

Arakawa Kirika understood... that Mutsu had thrown her phone downstairs.

Clearly, Mutsumi's last words were serious; she had no intention of giving Arakawa Kirika any further opportunity to communicate.

Now, Arakawa Kirika is left with only two choices.

To go... or not to go.

Arakawa Kirika sat blankly on the sofa for a long time before she came to her senses.

Clearly, today's events have had a profound impact on her.

What time is it now?

Coming to her senses, she hurriedly looked at where the clock had originally been.

Oh...right.

It's already been smashed by myself.

Looking at the wreckage on the ground, she could only stare blankly at her phone again.

...There is still one hour until Mu's ultimatum.

Volume 1: Chapter 200 Towards Tomorrow (A long chapter of 6700 words!)

Even now, Arakawa Kirika still finds it hard to believe that it was actually Mutsumi who accomplished all of this.

She had never experienced such helplessness before in her life.

what do I do……

She subconsciously bit her fingernails, while her free right hand... kept scratching the back of her left hand.

She was completely unaware that her fingernails were already filled with broken skin and traces of blood.

A mere harmony.

Such a trivial matter as a mum head actually dared to embarrass me like this.

Arakawa Kirika was naturally angry, but at the same time, she was also surprised to find that...

I... have truly reached a dead end.

Now that things have come to this, she can no longer deceive herself.

I wouldn't care about a mere toy.

Concern leads to confusion... Concern leads to confusion.

Arakawa Kirika finally gained a completely new understanding of this word at this moment.

Why am I panicking like this?

The answer is simple.

She cared a lot about that dull-looking guy, even more than she realized.

Even after clarifying this point, Arakawa Kirika still... didn't want to admit defeat.

Think about it carefully.

Mu said that she herself... didn't want to die.

She was willing to spend such a heavy sum just to get me to pick her up... but she was just trying to scare me.

What will happen if I still haven't appeared by that girl's side by the appointed time?

She... would she really jump?

How... is that possible?

That idiot...when did he get the courage to die?

This is impossible.

Now hurry upstairs and forget about this.

If I find that I still haven't gone by nine o'clock, that idiot will definitely slink home, and I won't need to show up at all.

Then she can look down on him and wait for that idiot to come and apologize to her, to beg for forgiveness... just like it has happened countless times before.

……

The glaring red blood first dripped slowly down her wrist, but before long, thanks to Arakawa Kirika's super healing power, those hideous wounds quickly scabbed over.

How much time has passed?

In any case, Arakawa Kirika has been slow to act, and she has been trying to convince herself.

Don't bother with that idiot.

But... a thorn, as real as a physical object, remained stuck in her heart, impossible to remove.

What if... what if it's true?

What if that idiot is truly beyond redemption, or is simply suffering from a huge blow...?

If she really jumps...

The thought of such a possibility filled Arakawa Kirika with an overwhelming sense of emptiness that enveloped her completely.

She really hadn't expected the possibility of losing Wakaba Mutsu.

She resisted to such an extent.

Even if the possibility is extremely small, only one in a thousand, one in ten thousand... she absolutely cannot accept it.

In that instant, she finally understood.

In this gamble, she and Mumu placed bets they could not afford.

So... I had no choice but to go.

We have no choice but to go, right?

Arakawa Kirika stood up from her chair, somewhat dazed.

The moment she stood up, she felt a little unsteady on her feet and almost lost her balance.

She walked slowly toward the door like a walking corpse.

But the moment the door opened...

A pale blue figure, somewhat out of place, entered her field of vision.

Arakawa Kirika only realized what was happening when she found herself pinned to the floor by Shoko.

"What are you waiting for... Time is running out... Hurry up and go see Mu!!"

Xiangzi's expression showed that she was very anxious, judging from her behavior of urging Arakawa Kirika immediately upon meeting her.

She must have contacted Muto before Muto lost his phone.

Maybe this guy has already been to the Moon Forest?

The reason she's appearing in front of him now is definitely because... this guy couldn't persuade that silly girl either.

Seeing Shoko's anxious expression, Arakawa Kirika deduced everything in a very short time.

But... she's not in the mood to deal with such trivial matters right now.

She felt that Xiangzi's voice sounded incredibly noisy at that moment.

"You're so annoying... Can you shut up?"

Arakawa Kirika frowned and stared at Shoko expressionlessly.
