mygo, but Cthulhu

"Lixi, you don't want to start a fight in front of the police station, do you? Calm down a little."

"Huh? This guy has become so arrogant, how can I bear it?"

Li Xi frowned and looked at her, while Su Shi just shook her head. She glanced at Ai Yin, who was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes, and frowned as well. She looked at the nonchalant young man with an expressionless face.

"Sir, you are right. Although cruelty to small animals is morally wrong, it is not illegal. It is also true that our band members broke into your home without permission. I apologize for this."

"Hahaha, you're giving in now?"

The young man laughed arrogantly, but Su Shi's calm voice soon rang out again, freezing his smile.

"However, your abhorrent behavior is also true. As far as I know, the Animal Protection Association has always strongly condemned this kind of thing. If we contact the media and proactively expose your actions, then your life will surely be seriously affected, right?"

"You...what do you want?"

The young man swallowed nervously, obviously knowing what kind of trouble he would face if what she said came true. Seeing him like this, Su Shi nodded slightly, then raised her hand and pointed at Aine and Lenai.

"I don't mean to threaten you. After all, it won't benefit us if the situation escalates. I just hope you can sincerely apologize to them. Okay?"

"...Okay, as long as you don't do that."

The young man was silent for a moment before nodding unhappily. He walked closer to them and whispered an apology, his voice devoid of sincerity. Aine, however, simply waved her hands vigorously in anger, signaling him to get lost.

The young man ran away dejectedly, and Li Xi felt relieved when he saw his miserable appearance. He couldn't help but look at Su Shi with admiration.

"Su Shi, I didn't expect you to be so capable. You made him apologize with just a few words."

"This is just what normal high school girls would do.

I hope you can also think of this, Lixi, and not resort to violent measures."

Nagasaki Suyo shook her head helplessly, and at this time Aine came closer with joy and hugged her arms happily.

"Soyorin, thank you so much just now, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to deal with that guy."

"Don't get so close... Tell me, you went looking for Lenai-chan, but why did you end up at the police station with her?"

Su Shi raised her hand a little unnaturally to stop Aine from getting closer, and after a light cough, she asked,

"Well, it's a long story."

Aiyin explained the whole story, and Nagasaki Suyo's brows began to frown again as she listened.

"Wait, it's too dangerous for the two of you to run straight to a remote place like that. This time you were lucky to run into a guy who only likes to torture cats, but what if you run into an even more dangerous pervert next time?"

"I can't help it. Lena-chan suddenly ran away. I can't help but chase her, right?"

Aiyin blinked her eyes and pretended to be aggrieved as she explained in a low voice. Although Sushi knew she was acting, she still softened her heart and sighed helplessly.

"Forget it, I won't make a fuss about it this time. You must be more careful next time."

“Yeah, Wildcat, it’s a good thing Aine came with you this time. If you had gone alone, that guy might have done something to you. Next time…”

Li Xi nodded and looked at Lenai, ready to give a lecture, but after meeting her sad eyes, Li Xi's voice could not help but break.

"Rikki, it's dead, and it died in great pain..."

“…Don’t be sad.”

Le Nai's voice trembled slightly. Li Xi was silent for a moment and then sighed and comforted her softly. He walked forward and patted her back awkwardly.

"It's okay, as long as you're not hurt. Don't be so impulsive next time."

"Um,"

Lenai hugged Lixi tightly. The latter's body stiffened for a moment, but she did not refuse and let her bury her head in her chest.

Seeing this scene, Aine's remaining depressed mood could not help but be relieved a lot, but the next moment that strange feeling suddenly came over her again, making her subconsciously turn her head and see a familiar blue-haired figure hurriedly leaving.

...Classmate Xiangzi?

Chapter 13 Aine's Doubts

"Are you guys Lenai's band members?"

But before Aine could tell the others about her discovery, an old and calm voice suddenly sounded.

She turned her head and saw an old man with pink highlights walking slowly towards her. Lenai quickly approached her and rubbed her arm aggrievedly.

"Grandma, some bad people hurt my friends...I'm so sad."

"I think I know what happened. Don't be sad. That guy won't be able to act recklessly for long."

The old man gently stroked Lenai's hair, and Lenai's expression gradually relaxed and he nodded slightly.

"Well, I believe grandma."

Then, the old woman turned her gaze towards them. Aine met her gaze and immediately felt a sense of pressure for some reason. Takamatsu Touma also tried to carefully organize his words.

"Hello, you must be Lenai-chan's grandmother, right? We've heard her talk about you before..."

"Don't be nervous,"

The old man stared at the lamp for a moment, then spoke softly,

"My name is Tsuzuki Shifune. I'm so grateful for your care all along, Lena."

"No, thank you not."

Deng shook her head quickly, and Tsuzuki Shifune also nodded slightly. She glanced at Aine and Rakuna, and after confirming that they were both unharmed, she took Rakuna's hand.

"After what happened today, the child should be quite tired. I will take her back to rest first."

"Since you missed rehearsal because of her, I will refund your practice room fees this time... Well, goodbye."

She said goodbye softly and took Lenai away. Lenai looked back at them reluctantly and waved to them.

"Goodbye, let's practice together tomorrow."

"Okay, Lenai-chan, you should rest well too."

Aine also waved goodbye, but at the same time, she suddenly noticed that Rakuna's heterochromatic eyes seemed to be shining with a faint strange light under the setting sun.

"Eh?"

Aine couldn't help but blink in confusion, but the next moment Rakuna had turned her head away, making her unsure if she had seen it wrong.

"Phew, then this situation is over. What a headache it was to waste time."

Shiina Riki watched Lenai walk away and sighed irritably.

"It's true that something bad happened, but I'm glad no one was hurt."

Gao Songdeng thought for a moment and spoke softly, while Li Xi nodded quickly.

"Yeah, I think so too... Deng, it's getting quite late now. Do you want to go back to the ring first? Or should we go straight home?"

"I'd better go home. If I don't go back, my parents will worry."

Deng nodded, and Riki accompanied her home as usual. Su Shi said goodbye to them softly, and then noticed that Aine was still staring at the direction where Lena left.

"What a messed up day...Aine, what's wrong?"

"Ah? I, I'm fine."

Aine quickly shook her head after realizing what was happening, causing Sushi to frown slightly.

"It's rare to see you in a daze for so long. Are you worried about Lenai-chan? Although she's in a state of lethargy, she's already been taken away by Ms. Tsuzuki. So, there's nothing to worry about, right?"

"Well...I can't really explain it."

Aine shook her head in confusion. Even though she knew rationally that she was probably mistaken, for some reason she was very concerned about the look in Lenna's eyes at that moment.

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but speak.

"Soyorin, I want to ask you something. Please don't think I'm talking nonsense."

"what's up?"

"Do you think people's eyes can glow?"

"..."

Nagasaki Suyo blinked, but instead of speaking immediately, she raised her hand and touched Aine's forehead, feeling it for a moment before sighing.

"You don't have a fever, do you? Why did you suddenly become unconscious?"

"You still think I'm talking nonsense!"

Aiyin stared at Sushi with some dissatisfaction, while the latter shook his head.

"No normal person would ask that, right? Did your brain suddenly short-circuit, Aine? Or did you discover something?"

"To be honest, I just saw Lenai-chan's eyes light up."

Aine answered with a frown, while Suyo looked up at the sunset that dyed the sky orange.

"You must be seeing things, right? After all, Lenai-chan has heterochromia, so it's normal to have this kind of illusion in the sun."

"is it?"

Hearing her say this, Aiyin couldn't help but wonder if she had really seen it wrong. At this time, Su Shi took out her mobile phone and looked at the time and sighed softly.

"It's almost time. I need to go home. Aine, do you want to go back?"

"Ah, Soyorin, I just saw..."

Aiyin subconsciously thought at this moment

She wanted to tell him what she had just discovered, but she hesitated halfway through.

She knew that Soyorin thought particularly highly of Xiangzi, and she had just caught a glimpse of his back, so she couldn't be sure that it was Xiangzi.

If I make a mistake, Soyorin will definitely be sad again, which is not good.

"Well, actually, I just saw someone wearing a skirt that would suit Soyorin very well. I remember I happened to have the specific style saved on my phone. Soyorin, would you like to try it on next time?"

She smiled and moved closer, but Su Shi raised her hand skillfully to stop her from getting any closer.

"Forget it, I don't really trust your taste, Aine."

"Hey, why is that?"

She and Su Shi were arguing as they left. At the same time, Toyokawa Shoko, who was hiding in the corner of the wall in the distance, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that no one was chasing her.

She was trapped in the room and waited for a while before realizing that the rehearsal time was almost up. She had to take the risk and quickly leave while everyone on Mygo was distracted by the cat abuser. Fortunately, it looked like they didn't notice her.

She straightened her clothes, closed her eyes, and started jogging. Finally, she arrived at the rehearsal room before the appointed time.

"I didn't expect that you would be the last one to arrive today, Boss."

After opening the door, Miao Meng turned around and looked over with interest, while Xiangzi met her gaze with a calm expression.

"Sorry, I was delayed a little, but I don't think I'll be late."

"Of course not."

Miao Meng smiled casually, then spread his hands.

"I'm just a little curious about what could have made you so late. Would you mind sharing it with us? I'm a very tight-lipped person."

"I mind it very much,"

Toyokawa Shoko frowned slightly, shook her head and walked to her seat. Ruoye Mu turned his head and looked over, hesitated and spoke softly.

"Xiang, do you need to take a break?"

"Why do you ask that suddenly?"

"……nothing,"

Ruoye Mu was silent and shook his head, while Hailing played the bass lightly and looked up at Xiangzi calmly.

"Toyokawa, don't you notice? You look very tired."

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned by her words. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the mirror beside her, and then she found that the person opposite her, who should have been calm and composed, had already shown obvious signs of fatigue on his face.

...Recently, she became inexplicably pregnant, was involved in a robbery case, and had to worry about being discovered by the people from Mygo. She really consumed too much energy, and there was nothing she could do about it.

"Oh, is that so? Xiaoxiang, do you want to take a rest first..."

Chuhua quickly turned her head to look over, but Xiangzi interrupted her by shaking his head slightly.

"Chuhua, you don't have to worry about me. Our time is precious and cannot be wasted."

"Everyone, let's start practicing now."
