Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

After trembling for a moment, a resolute voice with a trembling tone came from behind the girl's palms: "It's not over yet. As long as we find Xiaoxiang and talk to her, she will definitely change her mind. Because Crychic is everyone's Crychic!"

At this point, Saki had no idea that a chance encounter would lead Nagasaki Suyo to think so much. She simply sent Takamatsu Deng home, told the girl to have a good rest, and then said goodbye. She still had to talk to Xiangzi.

Saki thinks that Xiangzi is a gentle and kind girl. If she knew that Takamatsu Deng blamed herself for her withdrawal from the band, she would definitely not leave it alone. As long as there is an opportunity to meet and communicate, the band's problems can be easily solved.

Besides, the economic problems faced by Xiangzi have improved significantly. I can't say that he has no worries about food and clothing, but he will definitely have no problem getting enough food and clothing. Judging from the child's strong character, she will definitely not let the band fall apart like this, right?

Toyokawa Shoko is someone who sees things through to the end.

Saki is very optimistic about the future, but reality unfolds in the simplest and most direct way, making her face the fact that plans can never keep up with changes.

"Hmm? What was that just now?" When passing by a small park on the side of the road, Saki seemed to catch a glimpse of white in his peripheral vision.

How could something so strange be haunting a small roadside park at night, with few people around? If it weren't for the gentle evening breeze and bright streetlights, I'd probably immediately associate it with some "bizarre" stories that only appear in horror movies.

Saki wasn't afraid of ghost stories, but rather had a certain yearning for them. She was actually quite interested in the afterlife.

Touching her slender arm, Saki decided to go over and find out what was going on. If the other person was not a ghost but a lost child, she would definitely lend a helping hand.

Being in the park late at night, even if you're not lost, will definitely worry your family, right?

It turned out to be a lost child, but it seems that he couldn’t be called a child?

Judging from his body shape, the other person was indeed small; but he was wearing the summer uniform of Tsukinomori High School, and judging from the style, he was a first-year high school student.

The uniforms are well-cut, so we can basically rule out the possibility that the naughty sister stole her older sister's uniform and ran out to play. It can't be because the sisters have similar body shapes, right?

Considering the situation of the Hikawa sisters, it's not completely impossible. Saki jokingly said in his heart, and took the initiative to say hello: "Good evening, classmate. Why are you here alone? Are you lost?"

Saki saw that the girl had short silver-white hair that didn't reach her shoulders yet, and her eyes were a clear blue that could be seen through to the bottom, which easily reminded people of the clear and boundless ocean; the girl's facial features were small and cute, coupled with her fair skin that seemed as delicate as a baby's, she could only be described as very cute.

However, this azure "ocean" is filled with frustration and confusion, as if it has encountered some difficult-to-solve problems.

The silver-haired girl hugged her knees and sat on the bricks of the small flower bed, holding a pen and notebook in her hands.

If a girl with blonde hair and golden eyes were here, she might ask her, "Where has your smile gone?"

Saki can understand the importance of smiling, because her mother used to emphasize smiling, but she would never say similar words; because she knows that there are more sorrows and troubles in this world that make people unable to laugh. Keeping a smile is precious, but being able to cry out loud when sad is also a kind of perseverance.

Strong.

Although the silver-haired girl's emotions obviously didn't reach that level.

"I..." The girl was startled when she suddenly heard the voice. Her whole body began to tremble, and tears even flashed in the corners of her eyes.

Saki understood: cowardice is one of the underlying qualities of this silver-haired girl.

"I'm sorry for speaking so suddenly. I think I disturbed your thoughts." Saki apologized with a smile, clasping his hands together to appear serious. "I'm sorry to bother you. I should have gotten into your sight before speaking. However, I happened to be passing by and saw that someone seemed to be here. I was a little worried, so I came to check on you."

Saki wanted to convey a message: I am not a bad person, I have no ill intentions.

"Let's get acquainted again. My name is Konoe Saki, and it's nice to meet you." Saki extended her hand to the silver-haired girl, her smile full of sincerity. "My dear classmate, you... although this may make you feel confused, have we met somewhere before?"

The silver-haired girl was completely unsociable. Looking at her delicate hands with distinct knuckles, she didn't even know if she should reach out. No, actually, she did know. She knew she should maintain a superficial politeness, but she wasn't good at socializing, and she didn't dare approach strangers, so she didn't dare reach out.

After hearing what Saki said, she was obviously stunned for a moment and made a puzzled sound: "Huh?"

The silver-haired girl raised her head and glanced at Konoe Saki.

She saw that the stranger had long, smooth magenta hair and eyes that were also warm magenta, as if they contained some special magic. Once you looked into his eyes, you couldn't look away. His delicate face was filled with a gentle and warm smile that made people want to get close to him.

Even as a girl, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "How beautiful."

Unfortunately, the other person was wearing casual clothes and it was impossible to tell which school he was from.

Without even thinking, the silver-haired girl could immediately come to the conclusion: she didn't recognize him at all!

If she knew such a beautiful and gentle girl, how could she not have any impression of her? She has a very good memory, right?

At this moment, the silver-haired girl heard the magenta-haired girl say something as if she had suddenly realized something. "I remember now. It was in the livehouse. You are Morfonica, the girl band from Tsuki no Mori, right?"

"And you are the band's lead singer, Mashiro Kurata!" Saki pretended to be surprised. She thought that musical girls should like the feeling of being the center of attention.

Apart from anything else, the lead singer of their band Paspale is looking forward to being recognized by fans, so it must be okay to do so at this time, right?

But when she heard Saki's voice, Kurata Mashiro's eyes trembled, and her fair and cute little face was immediately covered with paleness.

Chapter 2020. Kurata Mashiro and Morfonica

In the past, being recognized on the street like this would definitely make Kurata Mashiro happy. But now, she doesn't feel happy at all, because someone commented after watching their live performance: "I feel like there's nothing special about the girl band from Tsuki no Mori."

The chairman also put pressure on her, advising her to give up band activities and concentrate on integrating into the Moon Forest and becoming a part of the glorious Moon Forest.

This undoubtedly poured cold water on the girl's enthusiasm. Because of this, Kurata Mashiro lost all inspiration and couldn't write lyrics. She was worried that her new song would receive similar reviews.

The more afraid I am, the less inspiration I have and the harder it is to start writing. Then I become more worried and even less inspired, and I fall into a vicious cycle.

The girl lacked self-confidence to begin with, and she had thought that she would become more confident after being admitted to a prestigious school like Tsuki no Mori. However, the facts repeatedly ran counter to her ideas... The girl just felt terrible.

Noticing that Mashiro Kurata was in poor condition, Morfonica's teammates, led by Toruko Kiritani, proposed the "Monica Summer Plan" - a training camp. As the student council president, Ruyu Yashio was originally against it, but she took the initiative to use her power as student council president to help improve the training camp plan. Everyone successfully gathered together to spend the summer time that belonged to the five of them alone, in which they could "openly" occupy the entire Tsuki no Mori.

But after the joy, Kurata Mashiro still had no inspiration and fell into great distress again. She slept lightly for a while, and then woke up. The sleepless girl did not disturb her teammates and walked out alone.

I originally wanted to relax on campus, but before I knew it, I walked out of the Moon Forest and came to a nearby small park, where I sat down alone.

With the breeze blowing, the stars twinkling, and the faint chirping of insects in the dead of night, being alone is actually not bad; but for a girl with a delicate and sensitive mind, the dead of night is also the time when she is most likely to be emotive.

Mashiro Kurata didn't even bother to think about whether her "disappearance" would worry her teammates, and she fell into a state of fear: there were gusts of cold wind, and it seemed that there were strange, even indescribable dark jellyfish lurking in the grass!

Unbeknownst to Saki, it was under these circumstances that she appeared in Kurata Mashiro's sight.

She didn't need to think, she recognized Kurata Mashiro at first sight. One of her childhood friends was Yashio Ruyu, the student council president of Tsuki no Mori and the violinist of Morfonica. She watched Morfonica live and memorized every member of the band.

Although she thinks the lead singer still needs to work harder, judging from the first two live performances, the lead singer's voice is actually covered by the tone of the violin... Shouldn't it be said that this is indeed a hobby-oriented band formed by ordinary students?

In addition, the guitarist will start to grab the beat while playing, and the bassist and drummer will try to pull the guitarist back to the beat.

Lai was also out of tune, and the confusion of the team members would affect the lead singer's singing... Saki didn't want to say anything too rude, so she kept smiling while watching the live performance.

But considering that the audience was enjoying the music and the band members were having fun on stage, that's enough, isn't it? Music and bands are all about having fun together.

Considering Ruui's serious and earnest personality, both with the violin and in life, Saki felt she shouldn't jump to conclusions. Perhaps Ruui saw the potential for growth in the band members and joined the band because of that?

In short, everyone at morfonica, especially lead singer Mashiro Kurata, has made great contributions to the fact that President Ruwei, who always maintains rational thinking, has achieved this level!

Back then, when she tried to persuade Ruwei not to give up the violin, she hadn't persuaded her at all. She'd used happy music to persuade her, but Ruwei had instead lectured her with a "truth," saying, "Instead of wasting time on things you have no chance of winning, it's better to use your time on things you do have a chance of winning. I cut my losses in time."

At that time, Saki even tried to persuade her, saying, "Ruyu, Rinrin, and I, playing piano and violin together, wouldn't that be fun? Oh, and we can even form a band and improve together."

"Have you heard of Space, Xiaolu? It's said to be a holy place for girl bands. Rinlin also needs to overcome her social anxiety, and we can help her together."

But at that time, Yashiro Rui replied: "I have never felt happy playing the violin."

The conversation ended. To this day, Saki still doesn't know why Ruwei said such a dishonest thing. She can't understand: [Is the gold medal so important?]

Perhaps because she inherited her mother's personality, Saki advocates happy music. She thinks grades are not that important, as long as everyone has fun together; but she will not force Ruwei to listen to her. When it comes to playing music, it must be consensual.

A forced melon can quench your thirst, but it is not sweet.

Saki's focus was on solving the problem, not just getting Ruwei to obey her. Even though the subsequent incident prevented her from taking action, she still valued her friendship with Ruwei and would definitely lend a helping hand if Morfonica encountered difficulties.

The problem now is that Kurata Mashiro didn't say anything and turned pale. The conversation is completely invalid, which is really embarrassing.

Looking at Mashiro Kurata like this, Saki immediately thought of Teru Takamatsu. The two lead singers are surprisingly similar in that they are not good at socializing.

Saki thought: "But, this could be a coincidence, right? After all, Rinrin isn't good at socializing."

I don’t know what’s going on, but the musical girls she met each have their own strengths and their own special features. Is it funny or sad?

"Mashiro-san, are you okay? If you're feeling unwell, I can take you to the hospital." Saki reached out and fished out her phone. "Can you still talk? What exactly is wrong with you?"

If it was a minor illness, it would be fine, but some diseases require that the patient cannot move freely. If Kurata Mashiro is unable to speak, Saki decides to seek help from the hospital first.

"I! I'm actually fine!" Seeing that Konoe Saki had misunderstood and was about to call an ambulance, Kurata Mashiro immediately stood up. She hadn't expected her timidity to cause such a misunderstanding, and she quickly stood up to clarify. She didn't want to cause trouble for others.

Chapter 21 21. Girl's Thoughts

Although a ridiculous misunderstanding occurred, the conversation was at least established.

At first, Kurata Mashiro hesitated, not wanting to tell the truth to this strange girl. She just wanted to persuade Konoe Saki to leave. Because her troubles were too difficult to talk about, she just hoped that Konoe Saki would abide by the unwritten custom of "not causing trouble for others."

Although she also knew that she was actually the one causing trouble for Konoe Saki, rather than the other causing trouble for her.

However, Konoe Saki was unexpectedly persistent and asked her if she had a conflict with her family. He also took the initiative to comfort her, believing that there was nothing that could not be solved through good communication.

Kurata Mashiro could only smile wryly, but she was also touched by the sincerity and kindness in Konoe Saki's words. After hesitating for a moment, she cautiously asked, "How could you recognize an ordinary girl like me? Miss Konoe, have you really seen Morfonica live? What do you think of it, live?"

Kurata Mashiro tried hard to appear indifferent, as if she were casually asking a passerby. But Saki could clearly see that the silver-haired girl subconsciously lowered her head and averted her gaze, her tiny white socks in her leather shoes tucked in, making her stand pigeon-toed.

This obviously means he cares a lot.

"I've only been to two shows, so I can't really be considered a die-hard Morfonica fan, so I don't have much to say. I think Morfonica's live shows are really fun, and I can feel everyone's passion for music and their aspirations for the future. However, I don't go to Circle very often, so I'm not very familiar with Morfonica's live schedule. If I knew, I'd probably see more of them."

"I'm really looking forward to it. I think Morfonica's future is bright, right? I think the emotion in Mashiro's singing, the seriousness mixed with a little nervousness, but also the nervousness reveals the joy of moving forward side by side with everyone. These are all very good qualities. It feels like I'm witnessing a series of beautiful moments."

"..." After hearing the beginning, Kurata Mashiro thought that Konoe Saki thought her performance was bad, so she wanted to refuse, but after hearing the latter part, she knew that the other party was praising her in a roundabout way.

No, maybe it's better to call it expressing genuine feelings? If you haven't actually watched their live performances, liked them, and thought deeply about them, you wouldn't be able to say such things, right?

The feeling of recognition brought a broad smile to Kurata Mashiro's face. She felt the dreadful chill wind transform into a gentle, warm breeze, and the faint chirping of insects was actually a delightful symphony of strange and adorable marine creatures hiding among the grass and trees, using local materials to create a melodious ensemble. She almost imagined she could see the clouds and mist parting, revealing jellyfish and penguins swimming together across the sky, soaring among the stars.

Then, the silver-haired girl felt a warm little hand landing on her head and gently stroking it.

Seeing the cute girl's genuine smile, Sakuya couldn't help himself.

Kurata Mashiro was slightly startled, but felt very warm; then she "saw" a small, magical butterfly flapping its wings and gently landing on Saki's head. The girl's smile became even brighter, and she gently rubbed Saki's palm with her head, like a docile little animal.

Saki originally wanted to withdraw her hand, realizing she had crossed the line, but Kurata Mashiro seemed to be enjoying it. So Saki felt relieved and continued to caress her.

After this conversation, Kurata Mashiro felt confident and bold to confess her training camp plan, but did not explain the reason for the training camp.

Mainly, when I think about the reason for this incident, I really feel embarrassed, especially since she was just unhappy on her own and didn't show any sympathy for everyone's hard work.

She thought, "Everyone cares about me and is working so hard to help me find a solution, but I'm just drowning in a sea of ​​negativity. This is irresponsible of myself and betrays everyone's good intentions. This is not good."

Mashiro Kurata feels that she should try harder. Not to mention meeting everyone's expectations, after all, inspiration is really hard to explain. But, being a little more considerate and caring about everyone, is it completely possible?

The silver-haired girl longs to grow up.

Thinking of this, she said repeatedly, "Thank you, Miss Konoe. I'm going back now. I'll prepare a better performance with everyone. And, next time I live, can you come and watch?"

Mashiro Kurata is a little fond of this "fan who is not a loyal fan yet". She wants to use music to touch Konoe Saki's heart and make Konoe Saki become a loyal fan of morfonica. She thinks this is also a kind of growth!

"my pleasure."

The two exchanged lines, made an agreement, and then waved goodbye with a smile.

Until Kurata Mashiro stopped at the entrance of the park.

She had left Moon Forest carelessly before and hadn't remembered the route at all. Now her mind was a mess and she felt unwell.

But if they turned back to Konoe Saki for help... could such a vocalist really sing a song that would impress the fans? Kurata Mashiro felt that this didn't seem possible.

Sakuya didn't expect Kurata Mashiro to run into trouble so quickly, so he quickly walked over and immediately guessed that she might be lost. The street lights were working very hard, which could directly eliminate the possibility of being afraid of the dark.

As expected, she said in an apologetic tone, "I'd actually like to see the Moon Forest wrapped in the night. Mashiro-san, can I stand outside the school gate and take a look?"

"Eh? Hmm." Kurata Mashiro was no fool; she immediately understood what Konoe Saki meant. A shy blush immediately appeared on her round, delicate face.

But she was really in trouble and had no way of refusing.

Seeing that the girl was too embarrassed to speak, Saki took the initiative to grab Kurata Mashiro's hand, put it close to her ear, and said almost in her ear: "Hey, Mashiro-san, is this okay?"

Kurata Mashiro felt a strange electric current flash through her brain, and her whole body became dizzy. She didn't know what was happening. She only knew that she was bathed in Saki's half-smile, and then she responded softly, "Okay... okay."

Kurata Mashiro felt that this didn't seem right, but she didn't seem to have any other choice. She couldn't disturb everyone who was sleeping and ask them to come pick her up. She didn't even know where this place was.

However, feeling the girl's warm hand, Kurata Mashiro's nervousness gradually subsided. She couldn't help but smile, thinking: "Forget it, isn't this good?"

But Kurata Mashiro didn't know that not long after she left, Yashio Ruyu, who was not sleeping soundly, woke up. The girl with short black hair found that her lead singer was missing.

She was shocked, but maintained basic composure, because Kurata Mashiro might have run out to water the flowers, and it was too early to make a fuss.

But no matter how long she waited, she didn't see Mashiro Kurata's return. Instead, she saw Toruko Kiritani who got up to go to the bathroom.

The blonde girl was startled by the sitting Yashio Ruyu and accidentally woke up Futaba Tsukushi and Hiromachi Nanami. Morfonica was therefore mobilized and the girls started searching the campus separately.

As luck would have it, just when Yashio Rui walked near the school gate, she saw Kurata Mashiro standing at the gate saying goodbye to Konoe Saki.

Looking at the familiar figure, Yashio Rui felt as if she heard someone's inner monologue:

"Although I've been practicing the violin since I was a child, I've never won first place in a competition. I have a friend who plays the piano very well, and another who is good at piano, violin, and even guitar. If I could be like any of them, maybe I wouldn't be where I am now, right?"
