Mygo, are you all yanderes?

It's not fair to say that he's the only one in the band who isn't doing well academically, while everyone else is a superhuman who can manage both academic success and the band's success.

This is impossible, haha.

"Learning...can you?"

"Study meeting?"

Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine reacted differently upon hearing this.

"That's right, a study session!"

Kusano Akira looked at them with great confidence, feeling that his plan was simply invincible.

"Uh, you mean the three of us together?"

Chihaya Aine looked at Kusano Akira uncertainly.

She felt this was useless; judging from Gao Songdeng's dazed expression, he didn't seem like someone who would agree to all three of them being together.

As expected, Takamatsu Teng did intend to refuse.

Before Chihaya Aine asked her if she had those kinds of feelings for Kusano Akira, she didn't think much of it. But after she asked, she felt unhappy that other people were around Kusano Akira.

Ideally, it would be just her alone.

But Takamatsu had just opened his mouth, before he could say anything.

"No, no, no, of course it's the whole band together!"

Kusano Akira extended his index finger and shook it in front of Chihaya Aine.

"Thinking about it, we've been in a band for a while now, but we've never had any team building activities. Being in a band is just like going to work."

"So why not take this opportunity to chat about how everyone's feelings are?"

"That way, the band will be more stable, and everyone's relationships will be stronger in the future." Jiu

"Then the band won't break up." 4

Takamatsu Akira, who had initially intended to refuse, almost opened her mouth upon hearing Kusano Akira's last words, but ultimately remained silent. (Eight)

She was reminded of when Crychic disbanded.

She trusted Kusano Akira completely, believing he wouldn't let the new band break up and that he would truly be with her for life. (Kiyoshi)

But as the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy. (Umbrella)

The shadows of the past will not disappear just because of so-called trust.

So even though she was very unwilling and longed to be alone with Kusano Akira, she could only silently accept his suggestion.

Since she was afraid, all she could do was trust the people she chose to trust; that was the only thing she could do. (5)

"Hmm, team building..."

"What time is it?"

How was this Sunday?

"I don't care, but what about the others?"

"Li Xi cares so much about the band's performances, it's absolutely impossible for her to waste time on so-called tutoring."

Chihaya Aine expressed her concerns.

"Hehe, don't worry, I have a whole set of musical instruments at home. I just need to tell Lixi that she can practice at my house!"

"You're really rich... wait, are we going to your house?"

"correct."

Damn it, my collection count has almost stopped increasing lately. Did I write something wrong? (crying)

Volume 1: Chapter 24 (Twenty-Three): Standoff

"Uh, say it again, do we want to come to your house?"

Chihaya Aine rubbed her ears, thinking she had just hallucinated.

"That's right, my home."

Kusano Akira nodded and repeated it again, while quietly moving closer to Chihaya Aine, placing her between him and Takamatsu Akari.

He really doesn't dare to get close to Takamatsu Akari now, what if he makes the same mistake as Chihaya Aine?

"When Sunday comes, you all gather at my house. Just bring your books. I have all the musical instruments you need."

"Um... what do your uncles and aunts like? I'll bring some gifts with me."

"...Ming's parents like..."

Takamatsu Akari opened her mouth and murmured something, but her voice was so soft that only Chihaya Aine could vaguely hear it.

Chihaya Aine glanced at Takamatsu Akari with surprise, but didn't say anything more.

"Don't worry, they're not in Tokyo. I'm all alone at home."

Kusano Akira patted his chest and flashed a smile that resembled the one a male protagonist in a movie would wear when opening champagne.

Everything is going too smoothly. All he needs to do is ask Chihaya Aine for help in taking down Nagasaki Motoyo, and he'll be all set.

Except for Wakaba Mutsumi.

"By the way, does Su Shishi live in the same place as you?"

Chihaya Aine seemed to have thought of something, her eyes sparkling as she looked excitedly at Kusano Akira.

"It's like this, she lives upstairs from me—why do you get so agitated when you mention Su Shi?"

Kusano Akira looked at Chihaya Aine with a strange expression, not understanding why she had suddenly become so excited.

"Aren't you curious? Su Shishi is the young lady of the Moon Forest!"

"Thinking about it this way, maybe I can even go and see Su Shishi's house. I really want to see—what's Tsukimori-sama's house like—"

"She might not even let you in."

Kusano Akemi Chihaya Aine showed absolutely no interest in his house, but was much more interested in Nagasaki Motoyo's, which left her feeling somewhat frustrated.

He even mentioned his prized collection of musical instruments, but Senzao Aine showed absolutely no interest.

Takamatsu Akira next to him seemed interested, but Kusano Akira could assure him that he was definitely not interested in musical instruments.

That wretched Chihaya Aine, that wretched Takamatsu Akari, you guys have no musical soul!

His plan to attract his friends' interest through his music collection has failed halfway.

We can only wait and see if Rakuna will become interested in musical instruments.

"They seem quite interested in my home, though."

Kusano Akira looked at Chihaya Aine and made a comment.

"Wow, Mr. Ming's house is amazing! It's the first time I've ever seen anything like it!"

Chihaya Aine put on a show, but her exaggerated tone made it obvious that she was acting.

"At least act more sincerely, damn it."

Despite being explicitly told by Wakaba Mutsumi that his acting was terrible, Kusano Akira, who still firmly believed in his own acting skills, condemned Chihaya Aine's acting, which showed absolutely no professionalism.

"Anyway, boys' homes are all pretty much the same, with unmade beds and takeout containers flying everywhere."

Chihaya Aine shrugged, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she looked at Kusano Akira.

"Have you been to the boy's house?"

"No, but that's what everyone says online."

"Poor child, brainwashed by short videos, has lost all desire to explore reality."

"So you made the bed?"

"Of course I fold them—it's just usually after I get home at night."

"See, I told you, she's super sloppy, isn't she, Dengdeng?"

Er Takamatsu blinked, still holding her phone, and opened the notes app, seemingly preparing to write down whatever Kusano Akira was going to say.

"No scientific research has shown that whether or not you fold your blankets is related to hygiene. Not folding them doesn't mean there will be more bacteria, and folding them doesn't mean there will be fewer bacteria..."

"Still being stubborn? Let's go, Dengdeng, let's go back."

Chihaya Aine tugged at Takamatsu Akira, only to find that Takamatsu Akira was rooted to the spot, staring intently at Kusano Akira.

"Ming, where do you live?"

"Oh. My home? I'll post it in the group chat later."

Kusano Akira was about to speak, but seeing Takamatsu Akari's focused expression, he changed his mind and didn't say it directly.

Although there's no difference between telling her now and telling her later, Kusano Akira felt it would be better to tell her together with everyone else.

What if she sees that I specifically gave her the address and then starts thinking about it?

This is definitely not good for his plan to 'purify his feelings for Takamatsu Akari'.

"OK then."

Takamatsu Akari put her phone away with some regret, and Chihaya Aine quickly pulled her into the classroom after seeing this.

"It's really time to go back, Dengdeng, class is about to start!"

"Then you guys go back first, I'm going to the infirmary."

"Huh? Why are you suddenly going... Oh, go ahead."

Chihaya Aine turned around curiously, about to ask Kusano Akira why, when she saw him raise the hand that Takamatsu Akira had just held and shake it.

Even after all this time, the swelling was still a bit noticeable, and Kusano Akira felt he should apply some medicine.

When Takamatsu saw Kusano Akira's hand, the dark emotions that had filled her eyes turned into worry and guilt.

She looked at her hands and made a vague clenching motion in the air, puzzled.

Obviously, it wasn't like this before.

"Bye then, please tell the teacher for me."

"OK Bye Bye."

"goodbye……"

Kusano Akira watched the two enter the classroom, and only after making sure Takamatsu Akira wouldn't secretly follow them did he head towards the infirmary.

　Zhao, ,Shuqun－:夿】-5∧＼[Liusi′※Si★＼er etc.

Kusano Akira suddenly remembered that the moving doll was still left in the classroom.

What if it does something while Kusano Akira is away?

Thinking of this, Kusano Akira immediately stopped and rushed back to the classroom.

He rushed into the classroom, grabbed the toy, and then ran out of the classroom again.

"...What are you doing?"

Chihaya Aine silently watched Kusano Akira's sudden action, and after a long while, she managed to utter a single sentence.

Kusano Akira walked down the corridor carrying the doll.

After the school bell rang, the corridor was empty except for Kusano Akira and the doll.

"Hey, talk."

Kusano Akira shook the doll's body, looking at it with a face full of regret.

"Don't pretend, you were just eating my snacks."

"..."

"Still pretending?"

Kusano Akira looked at the doll pretending to be dead and tightened his grip on its head—he originally wanted to strangle it, but it seemed to have no neck.

"Stop pretending, it's just the two of us."
