Zongman: Please stop destroying the worldview!

Li Xi: "I swear to be in a band for life."

Su Shi: "Then I swear too."

Su Shi pursed her lips and tried to draw her attention back to the topic. She couldn't reveal her purpose yet. She had to put the band together first and talk about kicking people out later.

Now it was Aine's turn to panic: "That's a lifetime! Anything can happen in the future."

Chen Mo: "That's true. When I was in high school, I never imagined that one day I would travel to another world."

Li Xi: "Don't talk about something that's almost impossible. What's the point of a lifetime?"

Aine: "Will you continue to play the drums even when you're eighty or ninety?"

Li Xi: "Keep fighting."

Su Shi: "It's okay, don't force yourself."

Well, things have taken a turn for the better. Aiyin, who is unwilling to make such an oath, has become alienated from everyone. Maybe we can use this to cause conflicts between her and others...

"Interesting woman."

At some point, Lenai, with her face covered in matcha and cream, stood by the table and suddenly said this.

Li Xi: "Wild cat? Aren't you eating Matcha Dinosaur?"

Lenai: “Satisfied.”

The lamp was stared at by Lenai, feeling a little uneasy: "You are..."

Li Xi stood up and took a towel from the counter to wipe Lenai's face. "Yao Lenai, she was the guitarist of the former Flower Girl Three Musketeers. She is very talented but very willful. People here call her Wildcat."

Su Shi suddenly had a bad feeling: "Le Na-chan, what do you want to say?"

After his face was wiped clean, Lenai said directly: "I want to form a band with you guys for life."

"Hey!?"

For this band, the CRYCHIC content has been reduced to 50%, while the Flower Girl Three Musketeers content has soared to 50%!

Can this still be considered CRYCHIC!?

Nagasaki Suyo's eyes went dark.

Chapter 12: A band for life?

Aine: "Wait a minute, why is the atmosphere so heavy?"

Li Xi: "It's all because you can't read the air. Promise me the light."

Aine: "How can you say I can't read the air!?"

Deng's frustration level increased visibly. There was a reason why she could become the class mascot despite being used to being autistic. She shrank back pitifully, and Aine felt a pang in her conscience - as if she had done something unforgivable!

She quickly explained: "It's not that I don't want to, but life is too long. If something unexpected happens, wouldn't it be a violation of the promise?"

Chen Mo agreed: "Indeed. If Aiyin is captured by the dragon tomorrow, then our lifelong band plan will be a failure."

Lamp's Frustration +1

Li Xi was furious. He glared at Ai Yin fiercely and said, "Is this the extent of your determination? Swear to me now!"

Aine: "Then let's agree on a month?"

Li Xi: "Huh!?"

Aine: "A week? Why don't you try setting a short-term goal first?"

Chen Mo looked at the troubled Aiyin with great interest and said, "You are really considering your whole life."

Aine: “Of course, it’s impossible not to think seriously about something like this!”

Li Xi didn't let Chen Mo go either: "And Chen Mo, you, swear to me that you won't play those word games."

Chen Mo: "Hehe, did you figure it out?"

Li Xi replied angrily, "Because you might actually do it! Run off to another world, and then use the excuse that 'until you leave this world' doesn't mean 'until you die'. Do you know how much that would hurt Deng?"

Chen Mo spread his hands: "Because I really can't promise you guys to form a band for life. It's better to promise your whole life so casually. Xiao Deng is just like some kind of devil who deceives people and sells their souls."

"Oh, sorry..."

Lamp's Frustration +2

Li Xi got angry and grabbed Chen Mo by the collar, saying, "Don't say that! If you say you can do it for the rest of your life, then you really can do it! Otherwise, don't agree to join!"

Chen Mo sighed and changed his tone to a serious one: "Can you really do it? Li Xi, Su Shi, and Lenai, what kind of mentality do you have to agree to such a heavy thing?

Is this a commitment you've really thought through, or is it just a spur-of-the-moment decision?"

Chen Mo: "If I seriously agree, I can really do it, you should know.

Just kidding, Xiao Deng is not a devil, but I can enforce a contract. If you really want to form a band for life, the rest of your life will be tied to an impulsive promise made at the age of 16.

From now on, whether it's school, family, or career, you can't stay away from this band. Even if I die, I will resurrect you as an orange zombie to continue to fulfill the promise - life is such a heavy thing, are you sure?"

Li Xi flinched at Chen Mo's serious words, and Su Shi and Lenai stopped talking.

In the lobby of Ring, the Matcha dinosaur whose jaw was half eaten by Lenai still stood there, reminding them that Chen Mo was really capable of doing outrageous things.

They had just entered high school and found it hard to imagine their graduation in three years. They rashly risked the rest of their lives on a band that had only been formed for less than ten minutes and whose members they knew almost nothing about.

Can I, who made this promise, really bear such a weight?

Chen Mo: "Although Aiyin looks unreliable, she takes the agreement very seriously. Are you sure you want to take on someone else's life so carelessly?"

Deng suddenly responded: "I'm sure."

Chen Mo: "Are you sure? Well, although I know I'm quite likable, Deng and I have only just become friends, right?

Are you sure you want to make such a rash promise of 'a lifetime'?"

Deng's expression was firm, emitting a heavy aura comparable to a black hole. "I'm sure. I don't want to... separate us again."

Chen Mo: ",,, I have to say that Xiao Deng is, to some extent, terrifyingly strong. I don't ask to be born on the same day as the same month, but I ask to die on the same day as the same year, right?"

Aiyin: "Ahem, Chen-Chen, don't say such scary things. Everyone can try it first, just give it a try.

I don't know if I can really stick with it forever, but how can I know if I don't start? Anyway, let's go on stage and perform once, okay?"

Aine's speech finally eased the heavy atmosphere. Everyone was talking just fine a moment ago, how come it suddenly became such a heavy topic, and people were asked to risk their lives at every turn?

Isn't the idea of ​​playing in a band to try it out first, and then happily carry out the activities if it works out?

Chen Mo raised his thumb in appreciation: "See? Captain Chihaya is still the best at speaking."

Aine: "Hehe, then let's make a deal. Don't quit until our first performance on stage, okay?"

Deng: "Let's give it a try. Then, you must not break the contract before the first performance?"

Chen Mo: "I can agree to such a request. I think it's no problem!"

Aine: “I’ll do my best too!”

Le Nai stood aside and nodded: "Interesting woman."

Li Xi sighed and responded, "You guys... well, I won't leave the light."

Su Shi's face darkened as he reluctantly replied, "Then I agree too."

The topic was inexplicably pushed in this direction, and as a result, it became impossible to kick out non-CRYCHIC members before their first performance.

The sudden appearance of Chen Mo and Lenai disrupted the situation, and all the plans Su Shi had prepared in her mind were disrupted. She was in a state of confusion and hurriedly found an excuse to leave.

-

After the previous farce of Matcha Dinosaur, a lot of time was wasted. Now the sun was setting, and seeing that it was getting late, everyone agreed to meet again tomorrow and then went their separate ways.

Everyone has their own concerns, which casts a heavy shadow over this band that has just been formed verbally and doesn't even have a name.

After Chen Mo packed up Ring's things, he strolled towards home:

"A lifetime! It's amazing that Xiao Deng could say that, and Li Xisu Shi actually dared to agree to it.

Is this a peculiar personality trait of these geniuses, or is it just that in the era of girl bands, it was all about treating band formation like a wedding?

Chen Mo complained as he returned to his own mage tower. As soon as he opened the door, he saw that the room was in chaos.

He saw the Swarm Lord running out of the basement at some point, rushing towards him, and said in a terrifying voice:

"Boss, it's bad, meow! That dead fox is back to life, meow!"

Chen Mo dodged to the side, and the ferocious giant insect weighing dozens of tons smashed into the wall. If it had not been in the Mage Tower that had been reinforced countless times, it would have smashed through the entire building.

Then, a Bruce emerged from under the sofa and bit a slipper in half: "Kill! Mutilate! Destroy!"

Chen Mo: "What are you doing?"

Chapter 13: Itomori's Awakening

A cat, a dog, and a bug sat in front of Chen Mo. Chen Mo identified them one by one: "Who is using the body of Elu Cat?"

"It's me."

The souls of Felynx, Bruce and the Swarm Lord were exchanged. Now Felynx is in the Swarm Lord's body, Bruce is in Felynx's body, and the Swarm Lord is in Bruce's body.

The culprit behind all this, of course, is the fox spirit that had just awakened, the little god that Chen Mo brought back from Shiomaru.

Chen Mo grabbed the fox spirit and asked, "You're finally willing to wake up. Now tell me your true identity first."

The fox spirit rubbed Chen Mo's hand affectionately with its mouth. Its voice was genderless, ethereal and a little sharp:

"I am the deity worshipped during the Itomori Town era. You can call me Itomori.

Thank you for saving me - Shenli Weibo, without the support of mana, I would have disappeared now. The little god is willing to do his best to repay the benefactor,,,,

Chen Mo: "Then I'll ask you to guard me. Before I talk about repaying you, you need to untie my pet's soul swap first."

Itomori: "No need to solve it, this phenomenon will return after one night."

Chen Mo: "So, why did you use the soul swap spell on my pet? Is this your way of repaying me?"
