Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

The girl believes she has done her part for Chuchu, and the reason for the band's collapse is that Chuchu is too controlling and self-centered. If Chuchu doesn't change this, the band will not be able to continue. At this point, withdrawing is a good option.

Saki saw the girl's reluctance, but she didn't point it out. She just replied, "Really? Then I won't waste Xiao Ling Wang's time. Let's set off as soon as possible. If we delay any further, it will affect Xiao Ling Wang's studies tomorrow."

This incident was undoubtedly Chuchu's fault. Saki naturally would not ask other teammates to forgive Chuchu on their own initiative. This approach was absolutely wrong and would only harm the entire RAS team.

The right choice is to let RAS disband temporarily.

If Chuchu wants to rebuild RAS, she must first recognize her own mistakes, apologize to all members of RAS, and then form a team after obtaining everyone's understanding.

Otherwise, this incident will only happen again one day in the future, and RAS will be completely disbanded without any chance of reorganization.

"Eh? Lady Saki... aren't you going to persuade me to stay?" Niohara Ling Wang was a little surprised. She thought Saki would use words like "Chuchu is just a child and doesn't understand" to persuade her to forgive Chuchu, or at least persuade her to stay and wait and see. She didn't expect Saki to support her so much.

Seeing Niohara Ling Wangna so surprised, Saki felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. "This was Chuchu's fault in the first place. Why should I help Chuchu? There's nothing wrong with what Xiao Ling Wangna did. Now is the time for Chuchu to reflect on herself."

As he spoke, Saki pressed the girl's shoulders and advised, "Go home and have a good rest for a few days. Put this matter behind you for the time being. I will make Chuchu realize her mistakes and correct them. However, we will talk about it later. The most important thing for Xiaoling Wangna to do now is to sort out your mood and not let sad things occupy your attention all the time."

Saki helped Niohara Rei Ouna wipe the tears from her face and looked at her with a smile.

"..." Seeing such a gentle Saki, Niohara Ling Wang Na felt much better, but tears could not stop rolling out of his eyes.

The girl thought to herself: [As expected... Saki-sama is the best.]

"Don't forget to email me when you get home. I hope you still remember my work email address, Xiaoling Wang."

Saki felt that Niohara's parents were too careless and Chuchu was too inconsiderate to let a second-year junior high school student travel between Tokyo and Chiba alone.

Wang Na herself seems to have a subtle filter for her, and is even unwilling to add her line or mobile phone number, thinking that this is the evil behavior of a sasaeng fan.

Saki used to contact Niohara Reiou through her work email, and this was no exception.

The next afternoon, Saki, who thought she had gathered enough information, took out the business card Chuchu gave her and decided to go directly to her house to question her.

Hearing the ringing of the doorbell, Chuchu, who had been sitting at the workbench for the entire night and finally fell into a drowsy sleep, struggled to get up. While holding his rumbling stomach, he called out Pareo's name. He looked listless.

Before this, Chuchu didn't notice that Pareo took care of her three meals a day. After Pareo left, Chuchu almost fainted from hunger in her luxury apartment. Even though she loved beef jerky and thought it was the best food in the world, she had to admit: after leaving Pareo, she couldn't even take care of herself.

Chuchu realized she had made a mistake, but her mindset hadn't changed yet. She still thought: "I am the owner of RAS. I just said a few words to you. So what? You have such a bad temper."

Until she saw that the person visiting was Konoe Saki.

Chuchu was almost furious, but she managed to maintain basic etiquette and didn't lose her temper with Saki: "Miss. Konoe, what can I do for you?"

She really can't stand losing, and will lose her temper with her teammates when she loses; if she wins... she will definitely say to Saki, "Konoe Saki, how do you feel, how do you feel?", and she will also say to Minato Yukina, "Now, Ras has successfully surpassed, no! He has left Roselia far behind."

Chuchu is now like a spoiled child: when he is unhappy, he will take it out on his teammates, and when he is proud, he will mock his opponents.

Saki came here this time to end it all, or to end ras.

So Saki said directly: "I heard that RAS has ended. I came here today to pay my respects to RAS."

"Huh?! Konoe Saki!" Chuchu almost fainted on the spot when she heard this. She gritted her teeth, glared, and called out Konoe Saki's name word by word. At first glance, she seemed quite strong.

The problem was, she couldn't do anything. She was the one who lost the duel.

Looking at Chuchu, who was in a state of rage, Saki tilted her head in feigned confusion. "That's strange, Miss Chuchu. Didn't you beat RAS to the point of disbanding with your own hands?"

Saki's eyes were filled with confusion and innocence. She asked again, "Hey, who ignored their teammates' ideas and tried to use them as puppets, only to be retaliated by them? And who hurt the gentle and reliable keyboard player and drove him away? Was it me?"

"Ms. Chuchu, are you trying to say that RAS was beaten to disbandment by Fantasy?"

(*??*)

Chapter 130 131. I promised you that I would not apologize

Chuchu's emotions were extremely unstable. She just felt that Konoe Saki was here to humiliate her. If she were calm, she might... no, she would probably still feel humiliated.

Her madness was based on the fact that RAS was a trend at the time, but also on her inferiority complex. Her parents were both world-renowned musicians and performers, but she had no talent for playing instruments, which was the direct cause of her obsession.

The gentler and more tolerant her parents were to her, the more she wanted to prove her musical talent; children are ignorant and only want to prove themselves, so they become more and more obsessed with the issue.

Therefore, even if Chuchu was defeated head-on by Saki, she would not be left speechless by Saki's questions; she would attribute the problem to others and think that it was the fault of her teammates. Besides, RAS really lacked a strong guitarist.

Chuchu is extremely self-centered now. Even if Saki comes to her door, she will not admit her mistake.

The reason why he didn't insist on being tough for the time being was because he was so angry at Saki's words that he couldn't speak, not because he knew he was wrong.

Seeing Chuchu so angry, Saki knew without even thinking that she was feeling dissatisfied and had not reflected on herself at all.

"What? You think what I said was harsh? But wasn't it the truth?" Saki said, suppressing her smile and asking calmly, "If our roles were reversed, would Ms. Chuchu judge Fantasy's performance based on the band's development? Obviously not."

"You just vented your emotions, belittling Fantasy's musicals and stage plays, unilaterally expelling the band, and then mocking them. Then, you went to find Yukina Minato and criticized Roselia as a weak band that only knew how to avoid battle."

"That's all Chuchu does nowadays, isn't it?"

Perhaps it was because of the huge height difference between them, but being looked down upon by Saki, Chuchu felt a cold light flashing in the girl's eyes, as if to belittle her talent and music. She was a little scared and felt guilty.

Because Chuchu resonated with Saki's words, she impulsively acknowledged them, thinking, "Oh my God, what she said is exactly me."

She gradually came to realize that if she really dominated the era of big girl bands, she would really become arrogant. No, she is actually quite arrogant now, isn't she?

She'd already seen Konoe Saki's performance at the joint live show and knew her strength, but she was so confident in her victory just because Fantasy performed in a stage play. Why is she so confident? That's definitely weird, isn't it?

Since that chuchu doesn't know how to respect others, then it is normal for her to be bullied by others with a bad attitude when she fails, right?

But Chuchu refused to admit defeat. She stiffened her neck and asked back, "Who are you to me? Why do you say that to me? Do you think you know me well? All this is just malicious speculation on your part!"

The tone of her retort was very strong, but it also revealed a sense of guilt. These were the words Chuchu said herself, but after she said them, she felt guilty and didn't even dare to look at Konoe Saki.

She felt that Konoe Saki's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and she was afraid that her lies would be exposed immediately. So she could only look away and choose to escape.

That wasn't all. She instinctively crossed her arms and turned sideways, not daring to face Konoe Saki directly. She even gave off a shivering vibe. Of course, this was probably due to her guilty conscience and the fact she hadn't eaten properly all day.

"Look, you can't even use the example of reviving RAS to argue with me about how I'll treat my teammates. Are you disdainful? Or have you never considered it, so you can't fight back directly?"

Saki naturally wouldn't let Chuchu off. She continued, "If you think your response is strong enough, then why don't you ask Miss Chuchu to call her teammates and have them fight back against my malicious attacks?"

“This kind of thing

…” How could Chuchu dare to call?

Until just now, she thought that RAS's defeat was the fault of her teammates, who did not listen to orders and did not work hard enough; if Saki's words had not perfectly hit the possibility of her victory, she would not have felt guilty and would not have realized her mistake.

Now, she felt guilty; and thinking about her teammates leaving her one after another, she was actually alone, so naturally she didn't dare to make a phone call.

The others were fine, masking was straightforward, and chuchu was afraid that the other party would directly criticize her for breaking her promise and say something like "it's better not to stay in this band."

"You must be feeling guilty. Stop being stubborn. If you think you're right and still think it's someone else's problem, then look me in the face! Say it in the most confident and arrogant tone possible!" Saki's voice suddenly changed from calm to harsh.

Hearing such a harsh voice suddenly, Chuchu was like a frightened cat. He shrank his neck and squatted on the ground, almost trembling all over.

She grew up in the tenderness, kindness and tolerance of her parents. The biggest setback she encountered so far was discovering that she had no talent for playing musical instruments, followed by the failure to recruit Yukina Minato, the failure to recruit Saki Konoe, and then RAS's defeat by Fantasy.

But during this process, she never received any criticism. She only received tolerance from her parents and unconditional support from her pareo. So her thoughts became more and more extreme, and she took her anger out on her pareo, saying angrily, "What's the use of you alone?"

To put it bluntly, he was spoiled by the gentle environment.

Chuchu was suddenly treated so harshly that she panicked, as if struck by lightning.

"It's true that you were solely responsible for the lyrics, music arrangement, and daily arrangements for the band; but the funds for forming the band and maintaining its activities were all provided by their families; the band members' skills were honed on their own, not cultivated by you, and some even brought their own traffic."

"Let me ask you, if they had a different producer, could they have reached their current heights? Let me ask you again, if you lost your current teammates, could you still form a band as strong as RAS is now?"

"Chuchu, it's not that they need you to prove yourself, but you need to rely on them to form RAS and rely on them to prove yourself!"

"But look what you've done?"

Clearly, the band could soar to success simply by managing the relationships between the members. Furthermore, everyone has such good personalities that it wouldn't take much effort to build relationships and create cohesion and unity. With such a great start, how could this cause a crash?

RAS doesn't need a harmonious atmosphere? Is it just a game of pretending to be together? Is that even human?

"You are a person whose mind is full of yourself!"

"Oh, this kind of thing..." Chuchu wanted to refute, but couldn't find any point to argue, and she burst into tears as soon as she opened her mouth, and couldn't continue.

She was scolded to tears.

But because Saki didn't say anything, she didn't dare to stand up. She seemed to have forgotten that this was her home, she was the master, and Saki was the outsider.

Looking at the sobbing girl, Saki put his hands on his hips and said, "I've made it clear in advance that I won't apologize."

But now it seems like it should be considered as an afterthought...?

Cry? So what? She wouldn't comfort a child who made a mistake and didn't admit it.

(*??*)

Chapter 131 132. The Dust Settles

Saki originally wanted to wait for Chuchu to cry for a while and vent her frustration about failure before having a good chat with her, but she didn't expect the little girl to keep crying.

Ten minutes had passed, and Chuchu showed no signs of stopping, which almost made Saki feel guilty for bullying the little girl.

Saki was at a loss for words: [So the inside of chuchu is so soft and sticky? ]

This reminded her of a little idol who appeared to be cool and handsome, but was actually incredibly soft and sweet.

Saki sighed softly, then said in a stern tone: "What's that expression on your face? What do your tears mean? Are you saying that your tears can directly reconstruct ras for you?"

Strangely enough, after being criticized by Saki, Chuchu's crying stopped immediately. Although her sobbing could not be stopped for a while, it was not a big problem. At least she could shift her attention to what she should be doing.

There's really no point in this person squatting here and crying. Even if he cries from day to night and from night to day, what's the point? Can he cry RAS back?

The only thing she should do is to clear her tears and emotions, face the mistakes she made seriously, and find her teammates one by one.

"No matter whether you are confident or inferior, if you still love music and still hope to prove yourself through music, then take action." Saki crossed his arms and still had no intention of comforting Chuchu.

“…What? You’re talking so arrogantly.” After a long while, Chuchu muttered.

She had collected all kinds of information about Saki, such as "the most gentle and reliable producer", "she feels like a mother, always giving people a sense of security", "very patient, very empathetic, the best producer"...

Chuchu thought these interviews were just nonsense and commercial hype! How could the Konoe Saki she saw possess such qualities? Wasn't she just an overly strict and boring woman?

But… Chuchu felt like she was going crazy. She actually thought of her mother, Ms. Zhushou, who always supported her with words of encouragement. She even thought: “If my mother would occasionally treat me with a stern attitude, but also with encouraging praise…”

Well, she couldn't imagine that. Although she was frustrated by her mother's encouraging words, she hated Konoe Saki's criticism even more than that. It did make her realize her mistakes, but it was too harsh.

Chuchu finally understood why her mother always comforted and encouraged her in a gentle voice.

She has no talent for playing musical instruments, and she is already very sad, self-blaming, and self-deprecating. If she is criticized harshly... she might become a mentally unhealthy child.

After spending some time face to face with Saki, Chuchu finally realized the difficulties her parents faced and their meticulous care for her.

Saki heard Chuchu's complaint clearly, but she pretended not to know and asked calmly, "What?"

"Nothing," Chuchu sniffed hard, wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, and replied, "I mean, you did win this time, but these good times won't last long. I will reorganize RAS myself, recruit a reliable guitarist, and then challenge you again. Before that..."

Chuchu took a deep breath, and a firm look appeared on her slightly childish face: "Saki Konoe, you are not allowed to be

The only one who can defeat you is Ras!

Even though there is no sign of RAS's reorganization, Chuchu speaks with great confidence, as if it will definitely succeed.

Saki wanted to tease Chuchu and ask, "What about Roselia?", but then he thought that it was not easy for Chuchu to regain her confidence so quickly, so he decided not to tease this little kitten who seemed conceited but was actually inferior.

She simply said, "If you think you can."

"..." Chuchu felt her fists clench upon hearing Saki's nonchalant answer. She was furious!

But there was no way around it. Who had told her to lose to Saki? She definitely wasn't going to win back anytime soon. There was no point in making any more threats. She could only rely on hard work.

At this time, Chuchu's stomach made a "gurgling" sound, which made her blush.

Yes, she hadn't eaten properly all day and was already starving. Her body naturally protested against this inexplicable abuse.

"It just happened to be at a time like this..." Chuchu felt bitter. She had just given up her challenge, but why was she sabotaging herself? How embarrassing!

Outside the door, Asahi Rikka and Layer, who had been listening for quite a while, smiled at each other and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​going in to check the situation. They at least wanted to give Chuchu some time to adjust her mood.

After hearing about Chuchu's "riot" in the lounge, Asahi Rikka felt uneasy and, after much deliberation, took the initiative to go to Chuchu's house to check on her. Downstairs, she met Layer, who had a heart-to-heart talk with Hanazono Tae and was inspired by the idea that "the lead singer is the star that guides everyone." The two went upstairs together.

When they walked in, they just heard the criticism that "your mind is full of yourself", and then they quietly listened to the whole thing.

Both of them were very happy that someone came to criticize Chuchu and made her realize her mistakes; they felt even more relieved when they heard that Chuchu had the idea of ​​reviving RAS.

After that, Saki never took the initiative to look for Chuchu again. Unless Chuchu came to her for help, she would not help. The crisis of RAS's disbandment was caused by Chuchu's lack of understanding of human nature. Naturally, she had to solve it herself with sincerity. Otherwise, Chuchu would not be able to grow, and a similar crisis might happen again.

Only when the culprit who caused the group's collapse fully realized his mistake, found his teammates on the run, and forged a unique RAS team spirit, can the band truly gain a foothold in the era of big girl bands.

It is worth mentioning that in this process, Asahi Rikka, as an outsider, also played a significant role - she helped persuade Masking.

Chuchu, who didn't know the truth, thought that this was instructed by Konoe Saki, and went to the door to thank her hesitantly. Then she found out that it was Asahi Rikka who acted on her own initiative, and she was embarrassed again.

However, she had originally intended to thank Asahi Rikka. At most, she just turned a corner and walked a long way. It was not a big deal.

Compared to Saki who was sitting on the Diaoyutai and the somewhat embarrassed Asahi Rikka, Yawata Kaisu and Toyokawa Shoko who had noticed some problems were getting a little restless.

Although they knew that Fantasy was destined to be just a temporary band (because Yamato Maya was an active idol of Paspale, which made the possibility of the band becoming a regular member very slim), they really wanted to form a band with Saki if possible.
