Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

"Xiao Xiangzi, are you worried about something? If it's a life discussion, I'd be happy to talk to you." As he said that, Saki handed Xiangzi a cup of brown sugar water.

She happened to pass by and saw Xiangzi leaning against the wall motionless, so she turned back and poured him a cup of brown sugar water.

Calculating the time, Xiangzi has reached the period of time every month when he feels uncomfortable. Could it be because of this?

"No, nothing." Shoko Toyokawa and Saki Konoe became more and more familiar with each other, so she did not allow herself to show Saki Konoe's weak side; even though those idols in the agency who seemed a little cold would always get close to Saki and act coquettishly to her (from Shoko's perspective), she was different from them.

The past is the past, the present is the present. The weak Toyokawa Shoko is long gone, and here only the strong Shoko who strives to fight against life. She has overcome the big girl habit she has had since she was a child!

Xiangzi gave a friendly smile: "Xiaosaki, you've worked hard today. Are you ready to go home?"

"Well, I'm planning to take Xiaomu to the Galaxy later. Xiao Lenai said she'll be playing guitar there today. As for whether Xiaomu can succeed this time, it depends on her own efforts. Xiao Xiangzi, do you want to go with us?"

Two years ago, Saki had taught Kaname Rakuna how to use communication tools and other essential modern survival skills in exchange for not letting the boss close her space. It was just a matter of finding someone, so of course it was easy.

Although I have never been able to get Kaname to change her cat-like habits, this has led to Kaname letting herself go a little when no one is watching.

However, the proprietress is already very satisfied. The current Kaname will not affect her own and others' normal life. Her cat-like habits will only make her look cute most of the time.

perhaps?

"No, let's just... forget it." Xiangzi was tempted, but after a brief thought, she refused. Her ideas about caring for Wakaba Mutsu differed significantly from Saki's, and she didn't want to cause a disagreement with Saki over this. She also didn't want Wakaba Mutsu to be caught between them and feel awkward, so she refused.

Xiangzi's starting point was good, but in Wakaba Mu's eyes, the situation was different.

That familiar voice said in her heart: (Xiao Mu, look, Xiangzi has her own life, and you should have your own life too. This kind of relationship is healthy and normal.)

Yes, the reason why Wakaba Mu came to the office every day was not because he wanted to contact Kaname Rakuna through Saki, but because he could see Shoko here.

Xiangzi had encountered so many difficulties before, and she was really worried about him.

Otherwise, if she just contacted Lenai through Line, she could certainly do it herself, instead of being like this now - with 0 progress.

Wakaba Mutsu didn't respond to the voice in his heart, but just walked out of the lounge and looked at Xiangzi and Saki in the aisle without saying a word.

Seeing his good friend like this, Xiangzi was a little worried, so he imitated Saki's actions in his memory and touched the girl's head: "Mu, I'm going back first..."

Xiangzi was suddenly at a loss for words, not knowing whether to ask his friend to follow Saki's arrangements or to ask his friend to rely on Saki.

Seeing Xiangzi's hesitation, Ruoye Mu replied softly: "That's great."

Xiangzi took the initiative to talk to herself, Ruoye Mu was very happy; Xiangzi got off work and didn't have to work hard anymore, Ruoye Mu was very happy; Xiangzi was going back to encourage her own father and maintain the passion to fight against life, Ruoye Mu was very happy; Xiangzi seemed to have walked out of the shadow of the disbandment of crychic, Ruoye Mu was very happy.

Many emotions combined into one is "great."

But after hearing what Wakaba Mu said, Xiangzi's golden pupils slightly widened: "!"

This answer really made it impossible for Xiangzi to stop thinking about it.

support

Chapter 10099. "So I Gave Up Music"

Xiangzi was shocked in his heart, but he kept a calm expression on his face: his pupils dilated slightly and the corners of his mouth curved downwards a little.

If the people present were careless or didn't understand Xiangzi, they would probably skip over this detail, thinking nothing happened, and thus say nothing or do nothing, right?

But Ye Mu was different. She was Xiangzi's childhood sweetheart, a good sister so close that they were like half of each other's body. She was also a careful person with a very rich inner life. She immediately noticed Xiangzi's dissatisfaction: she knew she had said the wrong thing, and subconsciously began to blame herself.

It was at this moment that Ruo Yemu felt a pair of hands on her shoulders, gently pushing her forward.

It was Saki's big hands that exerted force.

Seeing that the two were not communicating on the same channel at all, Saki had to intervene in the conversation to help them resolve this unnecessary misunderstanding.

"Xiao Mu was moved by Xiao Xiangzi's strength in shouldering the heavy responsibilities of life while remaining optimistic and gentle. He felt relieved and happy for Xiao Xiangzi, so he said this, right?"

As she spoke, Saki looked at Wakaba Mutsu with a smile, expecting the girl to give a positive answer.

Although she didn't know much about Wakaba Mu, judging by the girl's calm expression and natural demeanor...Wakaba Mu couldn't possibly be happy that Toyokawa Shoko had left her side? The two of them were good friends, that was impossible.

Wakaba Mu felt that there was nothing wrong with what Saki said, so he nodded slightly and replied in a barely audible voice, "Yeah."

Xiangzi knew Wakaba Mutsu, and when she saw that her friend not only did not shake her head but also responded actively, she knew that Saki had guessed the child's thoughts, and the shock and astonishment caused by the word "that's great" gradually subsided.

but…

"I'm Mu's childhood friend, so why do I need Kosaki to decipher Mu's true thoughts? Kosaki...how is she able to understand Mu's thoughts? Have their relationship become so close without me knowing?"

Xiangzi felt guilty for misunderstanding Ruoye Mu, but soon, this guilt was overwhelmed by other emotions. She felt depressed and as if something was blocking her heart.

Xiangzi felt that she should be happy that her friend had a new friend who could understand her, but for some reason, she couldn't be happy at all.

There is a subtle feeling of gaining something but losing something at the same time.

But as the strong Shoko Toyokawa, she certainly would not let such emotions show. She would not let the people she should care about or the people she should repay care about her.

The girl showed her usual proper expression, as if she had never experienced any complicated emotions before. She replied in a light tone, "Of course I know."

"Well then, Mutsu, Kosaki, see you tomorrow."

"..." Ruoye Mu did not respond and looked at Xiangzi expressionlessly.

At this moment, the voice in her heart said: (Xiangzi is really good at lying, that expression clearly shows distrust.)

(But it doesn't matter. I'll always be Mu-chan's friend. And, while I can't say for sure yet, maybe Kosaki will replace Shoko and become Mu-chan's support. Most importantly, Shoko would want Mu-chan to do that, too.)

Her meaning was very clear: as long as Xiao Mu nodded, we would both support Konoe Saki and make her the Saki that Xiao Mu trusted the most; Sakiko? No need.

But Wakaba Mu did not give any response, she just quietly followed Saki's instructions, and the two went to the galaxy together to find Kaname Lenai and learn how to make the guitar sing.

"In vain."

Mutsu Wakaba, like a delicate puppet, quietly watched Kaname Rakuna's improvisation, perhaps also waiting for Saki to help her communicate with Kaname Rakuna. But Saki was very patient. She said nothing, as if she was enjoying playing the game of "one, two, three, statue" with Mutsu Wakaba.

After playing for a while, Kaname Rakuna, who was as free and easy as a cat, noticed Saki's presence and walked over to him. "Don't you want to play guitar?

After receiving another negative answer, Kaname looked thoughtfully at Wakaba Mutsu who was standing next to Saki. She seemed to understand something, smiled at Saki, and then left with her precious luggage.

Wakaba Mu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Saki who just smiled, and took the initiative to follow.

The three of them walked and stopped, and finally arrived at their natural destination - livehousespace.

Although this is a livehouse that has been around for quite a while and is small in scale and not as good as other places in any way, its business situation is surprisingly good. Tickets are often sold out early, and fans of the band can only sigh in regret.

Because Space is the starting point of the era of big girl bands and the place where the story begins, it is regarded as a holy place for girl bands. Every year, it welcomes groups of people who come here for "pilgrimage".

If the owner, Tsuzuki Shifune, hadn't refused to expand the space, perhaps this livehouse would have been able to achieve an upward trend in performance against the trend?

Speaking of this, there was actually an interesting thing that happened here:

Because his granddaughter wanted Lenai to be obsessed with music and not pay attention to studying (in fact, she didn't even go to school), and also said that she wanted to play guitar in Space for the rest of her life... Tsuzuki Shifune had the idea of ​​closing Space.

Yes, I have just entered junior high school and I have already had the idea of ​​"not going to school". What should I do in the future?

Besides, what if other children have similar thoughts? Wouldn't that be misleading?

After the possibility of "the closer your hands are to the guitar, the further away your academic qualifications are from you", Tsuzuki Shichuan decided to close the space:

She believes that she cannot balance her career and family. Now that the trend of big girl bands has emerged and Space has completed its historical mission, it is time for her to let go of everything and return to her family.

Saki, who happened to pass by, heard about this and decisively intervened.

Unfortunately, Tsuzuki Shifune's attitude was as firm as a rock, and outsiders' persuasion was completely useless. Space was finally closed. This dealt a great blow to Kaname Rakuna.

The "homeless cat" gave up the guitar. Although she listened to her grandmother and went to school,...

If the previous Kaname Lenai was a curious cat who accidentally sneaked into human society, then after the space closed, she became a disguised puppet, who could only go to and from school in an orderly manner.

Club activities? Socializing? Puppets can't talk, so Lenai certainly wouldn't get involved in that. She's already attending school, isn't that enough?

As spring passed and autumn came, the girl's strange condition did not change at all. Tsuzuki Shichuan was helpless and confused, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she had to admit that she had no idea how to raise this child.

In this situation, Saki reappears and makes a promise with Tsuzuki Shifune:

"I'm here to help little Lenai recover and integrate into society, but after little Lenai cheers up, the boss lady is going to restart space."

Tsuzuki Shifune was very concerned about her granddaughter's growth and was very worried about her granddaughter's condition, so she agreed very readily; at the same time, she really wanted to know how Saki attracted Rakuna's attention.

You know, at this time, Kaname was almost becoming an autistic child. Even her favorite

, and the free-spirited guitar playing couldn't cheer her up.

But in Saki's eyes, it was a very simple thing. She borrowed the old guitar, which was engraved with the traces of the passage of time, from Tsuzuki Shifune and plucked the strings.

The sound of the guitar caught Kaname Lenai's attention, but she just sat there without even raising her head.

“After thinking about it, I still don’t understand.

Waiting for you under the blue sky,

Blown by the midday breeze, my thoughts are gradually drifting away.

Now, what should we do from now on?

I haven't learned how to move forward.

Looking into your eyes, you left without saying anything.

After thinking about it, I still don’t understand.

Now, what are we going to do in the future?

It would be better if I didn’t do music.

... "

Attracted by the sound of the guitar and the singing, Kaname suddenly smiled: "...Interesting woman."

"Yes, yes, but she's a girl," Saki paused her music and emphasized seriously. Since they were talking about integrating Kaname Rakuna into society, they had to start now, with the little things at hand. Correct daily address was part of that, and it was essential to correct it.

The little girl's eyes sparkled with curiosity, and she changed her words to, "Interesting girl."

Although the lyrics say "it's all your fault", looking at Kaname Rakuna who suddenly reacted to things in the outside world, Tsuzuki Shifune felt that this was not a bad thing. After all, Saki showed enough "parenting skills", and she certainly had the right to criticize those parents who did not do well enough.

But Saki's reaction was much more radical than Tsuzuki Shifune expected. She put her hands on her hips, looked at Tsuzuki Shifune with a proud expression, and asked word by word, "Did you do your best?"

Tsuzuki Shisen was speechless at the question and scoffed, "...Interesting woman."

Unexpectedly, Kaname Rakuna came out from behind Saki and corrected her, "An interesting girl."

Like now:

The girl smiled, her heterochromatic eyes shining brightly in the light of the space: "Interesting girl."

She had known for a long time that the two had been following her all the way, and she had been silent the entire time, of course, waiting for them to speak. She had never expected that the two could actually remain silent. This made her even more curious.

What on earth did these two people want from her?

Cats are very curious creatures.

(*??*)

Chapter 101 100. A Small Step for Wakaba Mu

Cats are fickle creatures. Sometimes they can be very patient, and at other times they can be extremely impatient, but one thing that never changes is their curiosity.

Kaname Rakuna knew that Saki was the type to speak her mind, so the problem must be with the green-haired girl. Kaname Rakuna put down her luggage and walked quickly towards the two of them. She put her cheek close to Wakaba Mutsu, her nose twitching slightly.

Kaname Rakuna was very happy that she didn't smell too strong of Saki's scent on Wakaba Mutsu.

But her actions deeply shocked Ruoye Mu. The girl widened her eyes, and her dark pupils suddenly shrank.

The voice in Ruoye Mu's heart asked with concern: (Xiao Mu, are you okay?)

Rakuna had no ill intentions, so what could possibly happen? Besides, Saki was watching.

Saki brushed away the curious Kaname Lenai with one hand and gently stroked Wakaba Mu's back with the other, reassuring her, "It's okay. Mu should have noticed it too. Lenai means no harm. This is just her... curiosity. Just like a cat sometimes actively sniffs out various scents."

Saki explained and then changed the topic to what Wakaba Mu was most concerned about: "Don't you want to become Xiao Le Na's apprentice? People have come to you on their own initiative, why are you still hesitating?"

Before, you could say that you were not mentally prepared, but now you can’t say that, right?

Saki also predicted: "Will things get worse as soon as you open your mouth? That's not the case. Mutsuki just needs to speak out his true thoughts. However, say the thinking part as well, so that people won't misunderstand."

"It doesn't matter if someone is really unhappy. I will solve it with Xiao Mu. Besides, this is Xiao Lenai. If she is unhappy, Xiao Mu will give her a matcha parfait and all the problems will be solved."

Because Saki's tone was too relaxed and her words made her sound too easy to deal with, Rakuna was upset. She corrected him expressionlessly, "Two servings."

If you eat a little more, you will get a headache and stomachache. In order to better enjoy the delicious matcha parfait, the smart Kaname Lenai has mastered the correct way to "enjoy matcha parfait correctly."

The comfort of "I'm with you" and the response from Yao Le Nai made Ruo Yemu relax a little. She opened her mouth and said with difficulty: "I..."

The girl's family and upbringing were far from ideal. This was her first encounter with the gentle words, "Let's face this together," and the straightforward reconciliation method of "Even if I'm angry, I'll forgive you for two matcha parfaits." She was a little confused, her words stumbling, but she finally managed to get them out:

When playing music, everyone's instrument sings, and my guitar makes a sound that I envy and want to sing, but I don't know how to do it. I also want my guitar to sing.

Ruoye Mu was breathing heavily, as if she had done some overly intense exercise. It had been a long time since she had spoken out her thoughts on her own, and for her, this was a very novel experience.
