"Well... Actually, my reason is related to Lenai-chan."

Aine glanced at Rakuna and answered softly while thinking, while the white-haired girl gave her a confused look.

"related to me?"

"Lena-chan, you actually have a sleepwalking problem, right? I saw you sleepwalking past my house last night."

"Huh? Wild cats can actually sleepwalk?"

After Aiyin finished speaking, Li Xi immediately opened his eyes wide and looked at Le Na subconsciously.

"Wildcat, why have I never heard you say that?"

"Sleepwalking?"

Lenai met her gaze and blinked in confusion.

"What is sleepwalking?"

"Sleepwalking means waking up unconsciously after falling asleep. It's normal that you don't know about it, Lenai. That's what your grandma told me last night."

Aine added softly, and Lena's face suddenly understood when she heard the word "grandma," and she nodded.

"I still don't know what sleepwalking is, but since grandma said so, it's okay."

"I never thought that Lenai-chan would actually sleepwalk."

Su Shi sighed helplessly, then looked at Aine.

"So she happened to pass by Aine's house last night. Aine, you must have been surprised at the time, right? Did you chase after her?"

"It was really unexpected. No matter how I called out to Lenai, she ignored me. So I had no choice but to jump out of the window. Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to catch up with her."

"what?"

Everyone else, including Deng, was learning this detail for the first time. Except for Lenai, they all opened their eyes wide. After a moment, Su Shi was the first to react. She rushed over and grabbed her hand. After checking that she was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief and showed a slightly annoyed smile.

"Aine, I know you're impulsive, but I never thought you'd be so clueless."

"Do you know what you did? Even if you only lived on the second floor, you could have broken your bones if you did that rashly. You promised to be in a band with us for life, right? Does that mean Aine wants to perform on stage with us in a wheelchair?"

"I'm sorry, Soyorin, I was really a little too impatient at that time. I will definitely not do it again next time."

Seeing that she was really angry, Aine quickly raised her hands in surrender, and Deng also frowned and looked at Aine seriously.

"Xiao Ai was too reckless at the time. She must never do that again. If Xiao Ai gets hurt, we will all be very sad."

"Even if it's to chase a wild cat, you can't be so inconsiderate, right?"

Li Xi sighed, walked up to her and looked at her carefully. Even though he didn't see anything, he still patted her arms and calves a little worriedly, which made Aiyin blush a little.

"Rikki, what are you doing?"

"I'm checking to see if there's anything wrong with your bones. If there is, it needs to be treated quickly to avoid problems during the live show later."

Li Xi rolled his eyes at her, then folded his arms and nodded slightly.

"But you must have traded your intelligence for a pretty good body. So far, there seems to be no problem... Go on, what happened after you caught up with Lenai?"

"Rikki, you're going too far... I don't know why Lena-chan was so fast at that time. I finally caught up with her, and then I found myself at the place where that cat abuser lived."

"You mean the wildcat sleepwalked to that place?"

Riki frowned in confusion, and Aine spread her hands.

"I don't know why, but Lenai-chan just walked over there. I wanted to ask her why, but looking at her like that, it's clear she has no memory of anything."

They all turned to look at Le Nai, who was sitting drowsily in a chair with half-closed eyes. She felt their gazes and turned her head away. After thinking for a moment, she shook her head.

"Last night, I was sleeping and helping a lot of cats defeat the bad guys. I didn't see Aine."

"Yeah, at that time, Lenai pointed at the cat abuser's room and muttered to himself for a long time, saying things like helping cats are bad guys, and then he went to sleep in a tree."

Aiyin shook her head helplessly.

"I didn't have my phone with me at the time, and when I didn't know what to do, I heard screams from inside, so I went in to check the situation."

"You... forget it, at least you are standing here now."

Li Xi wanted to complain about her recklessness, but he was too lazy to continue speaking halfway and could only sigh.

"and then?"

"Then, I saw that the cat abuser was already dead, and there were several cat corpses beside him. I was so scared that I borrowed the phone of the resident next door to call the police, and ran outside the building to guard Lenai-chan."

Aiyin concealed Xiangzi's story and slightly modified her own experience.

"After the police arrived, one of them was beaten to death by the murderer. Fortunately, the police also dealt with the guy. It happened that Le Nai was also picked up by her grandmother. I also

Go home. "

"I think I know why Wildcat is so listless. You must have endured such a great risk for her last night."

Li Xi sighed.

"Okay, let's get back to the point. What does this have to do with you being late today?"

"The thing is, two of my classmates happened to be the sisters of the cat abuser and the police officer who died. They were very sad, and while I was comforting them, I told them what was wrong, and accidentally delayed them for a while."

Aine's expression turned serious, and Su Shi also realized something and frowned slightly. She pursed her lips and subconsciously rubbed her nails.

"Is there something wrong? Aside from you, Aine, running inside after hearing the screams, showing no regard for your own life, I think everything else is fine."

"The problem is the body,"

Aine shook her head seriously.

"Although I only took a quick look, I'm sure that the body wasn't made by a normal person. It's covered in bite marks, more like the work of a group of wild beasts."

"And I feel like Lenai-chan's sleepwalking can't be called a coincidence. She might have been used by someone. The death of that cat abuser might be related to her."

"I told Eri and the others about this situation. They also want to go to the crime scene to investigate after talking to the police. Since it involves Lenai-chan, I think we can also..."

"No, we can't get involved in this."

Su Shi interrupted her, his voice serious and cold, beyond everyone's imagination.

Chapter 29 Quarrel

"...soyorin?"

After a few seconds of silence, Aine turned to look at Sushi blankly, while the latter closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to control his emotions and responded in a deep voice.

"In fact, Lenai's grandmother called me this morning. She said we don't need to worry about Lenai's condition last night, nor do we need to investigate. She can guarantee that it was just a coincidence, and she doesn't want us to be involved in these dangers."

"Since it's confirmed that Lenai is fine, this matter has nothing to do with us. It's the business of your classmates, Aine. There's no need for us to take risks for them."

"That's true, but..."

Aiyin was a little confused about what to say next, while Sushi rubbed her nails harder and harder, her expression becoming more serious.

"Aine, I know what you want to say, and I sympathize with your classmates' suffering, but their misfortune is not our fault, and we shouldn't take risks for something that has nothing to do with us."

"We are just high school girls. All we have to do is take care of our own business. There is nothing else to do. We cannot get involved in these incidents that are obviously problematic."

By the end of her words, Su Shi's voice was almost gritting her teeth. No one had expected her reaction to be so violent. After looking at each other in confusion, Aine spoke softly and tentatively.

"Soyorin, I know what you mean. I didn't agree to them directly. I mainly wanted to come back and ask for your thoughts..."

"Well, it's clear now, isn't it? Lenai's sleepwalking has nothing to do with that incident, so we don't need to worry about other people's situations."

Su Shi interrupted her coldly and scratched clear white marks on his nails.

"Aine, I understand you're compassionate, but this kind of thing isn't something we can control. If we're not careful, we could be swallowed up by strange dangers. We must do our utmost to stay away from such incidents. Only then can we keep our promise to form a lifelong band."

"...Su Shi, do you know something?"

Aine didn't know what to say for a moment, Deng didn't understand what was going on, Lena was still sleepy, only Riki noticed something and looked up at her.

"You seem scared. Why? What Aine said is indeed not right, but you shouldn't react so strongly to such a small thing. Do you know something we don't know?"

“…No, I don’t know anything.”

Su Shi lowered her head, and her hair covered her face so that no one could see her expression. She was silent for a long time before she spoke in a hoarse voice, her nails digging deep into her palms.

"I only know that we must stay away from this obviously dangerous situation. Isn't this normal? What's wrong with you? Why do you look so strange?"

"No, so the decision isn't the point. The point is why you're so resistant..."

"I wasn't resisting! I was just exercising my judgment! I just didn't want any of us to get hurt, and I just didn't want our band to have any more problems!"

Su Shi suddenly raised her head and yelled, and Li Xi was also provoked by her at this time, and slammed the drumsticks on the table so hard that the table shook.

"So! Why on earth do you act like you have PTSD when you hear something like this?! How can we communicate with you if you don't even speak properly?!"

"Didn't I speak properly?"

Su Shi was so angry that he laughed and raised his voice angrily.

"I've clearly said it several times, we don't need to worry about this at all, we just need to take care of ourselves! I just hope that everything will be fine for us, am I wrong?!"

"That's not what I'm asking you. How long are you going to change the subject?!"

"I'm not changing the subject! I'm seriously thinking about our band, that's all!"

"Huh? Do you want to listen to what you've been saying? I don't want to argue with you anymore..."

"Everyone, stop arguing!"

Deng shouted desperately, interrupting Li Xi's annoyed voice. She clicked her tongue in displeasure, but saw that it was Deng who was trying to stop her or force herself to swallow her angry words. Su Shi also stood there trembling, not saying anything else.

"I believe that Su Shi is thinking about our band and she is not hiding anything on purpose. I also believe that Li Xi cares about all of us as well and is just a little anxious for the moment."

Deng carefully held Su Shi and Li Xi's hands, and then asked them to fold their hands together.

In the past, she would be at a loss because of this situation, but now she has also grown. Since they have made a lifelong promise together, she must protect this band no matter how scared she is.

"Stop arguing, okay? Let's talk it out. As long as we make things clear, the misunderstandings can be resolved and we can reconcile."

"...Since Deng has said so, I will certainly not argue with her anymore."

Li Xi sighed, and Deng looked at Su Shi seriously at this time.

"Su Shi, I can feel that you are worried that we will get hurt, right? Don't be afraid. If you don't want us to go, we certainly won't go."

"If Su Shi is willing to talk to us, we will be very happy because it means that Su Shi is willing to reveal herself to us. If Su Shi feels lost, we can also get lost together with her because we are all members of mygo. Let's get lost together and move forward together."

"Yeah, soyorin, don't be angry,"

Aine also held her hand at this time.

"It's my fault. I shouldn't have said that. Your concern is for our own good. I understand that."

"Everyone……"

Su Shi's pale lips trembled, and she hesitated to say something. At this time, Lenai, who was completely awakened by the noise, looked at her thoughtfully, tilting her head slightly.

"Su Shi, are you afraid of losing your place to stay?"

"?!"

Su Shi's body suddenly froze, and when everyone realized that something was wrong, she broke down and burst into tears, suddenly threw away the light and rushed out.

"Sushi!"

Everyone rushed to stop her, but it happened too suddenly. Su Shi quickly rushed out the door, and Aine chased after her without hesitation. Deng stood there in a daze, and after a moment, she smiled bitterly with fatigue and sadness.

"Lixi...I'm sorry, I think I messed up again."

Chapter 30 Junda Sosuke's Powerlessness

"Soyorin! Wait a minute, we can talk!"

Aine tried her best to catch up with the crying flaxen-haired girl, but the latter's speed was beyond her expectations. Under the strong stimulation of emotions, Su Shi rushed forward regardless of anything, and Aine could not catch up with her no matter how hard she tried.

"soyorin!"

She could only shout desperately, but because of this she didn't have time to notice the Aftergrow people coming out from the corner, and bumped into Ueda Gawabone.

"Eh eh eh?!"

Tomoe stumbled when she bumped into him, but luckily he was tall enough to keep his footing, and at the same time he quickly grabbed Aine's hand to prevent her from falling.

"What happened? Why are you running so fast?"

"…I'm sorry, Senior. I was just chasing after my friend. She had a disagreement with us on something, and her reaction this time was particularly strong."

After Aiyin recovered, she hurriedly tried to find Su Shi's figure, but the crying girl was no longer in her sight. She sighed in disappointment and explained softly in a depressed tone,
