Mygo, are you all yanderes?

Just as he was about to propose to his girlfriend, whose face he couldn't see, a bright green van crashed into his carefully arranged confession scene. His girlfriend was restrained by a flaxen-colored figure, while he himself was knocked unconscious by a bright green figure that rushed out of the van before he could even see who it was.

When he finally woke up, he found himself tied up in a closed, dark room. No matter how loudly he cried for help, no one paid any attention to him. Only during mealtimes would the green and flaxen figures who had attacked him take turns feeding him according to odd and even numbers.

And he did things that, although he couldn't see clearly, he instinctively felt were not good.

Countless days passed, and just when he thought he would have to live this miserable life as a canary forever, a fierce argument broke out outside the basement. Judging from the sound, at least ten people were clashing with the flaxen-colored and green-colored figures.

Just when he thought he was finally going to be rescued, the arguing outside gradually subsided, as if they had reached some kind of agreement.

Wei……………………

"Wake up..."

It sounds like someone is calling me...

4. "Wake up...!"

Who is calling me...?

"Wake up!"

"Um?!"

Feeling the sudden increase in decibels, Kusano Akira woke up somewhat dazed. When he turned his head, Chihaya Aine was looking at him speechlessly. Everything outside the window had been gilded with a bright red coat by the setting sun.

"Seriously, don't stay up late next time. You've been sleeping all day."

Ai-yin said angrily, her lips pouting in dissatisfaction, which looked extremely cute.

"Can you still stand up? If not, I can help you. get out of class has been over for a long time, and Lixi has been urging us several times."

"It's okay, it's okay... Gaa!"

Kusano Akira waved his hand and stood up, but this foolish modern otaku underestimated the consequences of maintaining one position for too long. As soon as he stood up, an indescribable sore and numb sensation stimulated his nerves, and he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Look, I'll just say it."

Aine sighed helplessly and prepared to help Kusano Akira up, but before she could do so, Akira lifted Kusano up first.

"...Aine still needs to get the guitar, so I'll take care of Akira!"

Deng said somewhat guiltily, his free hand fidgeting with the hem of his clothes.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Dengdeng. Let's go."

Although she had a gut feeling that something was wrong, Aine didn't pay attention to it. She picked up her guitar bag and walked outside.

"Thank you so much, you've really been a great help."

Kusano Akira said with some helplessness, "I really need to get some exercise. No wonder I was knocked unconscious by a simple punch in my dream. It seems I need to put physical training on my agenda."

"It's okay, I'm happy to be able to help Ming."

As she spoke with a firm tone, she gently rested her head on Kusano Akira's shoulder.

It's all furry and a little itchy. Kusano Akira felt Takamatsu Akira's hair brushing against his face.

"Light, you can let me go now, I feel almost..."

"it does not matter!"

"oh oh."

Kusano Akira was taken aback by Takamatsu Akira's sudden increase in volume. Akira had also suddenly raised her voice before. Girls' behavior was indeed hard to understand.

"Then I'll have to trouble you again."

Volume 1: Chapter 5. Past Events

When the group arrived at RIG, Nagasaki Motoyo had already been sitting there waiting for a long time. When Chihaya Aine saw Nagasaki Motoyo sitting there, her eyes lit up and she walked over excitedly.

"Su Shi-san~ I'm here~"

Nagasaki Motoyo greeted him with a slight smile. When she saw that the light was almost touching Kusano Akira, a look of surprise flashed across her face, but she quickly composed herself and said...

"It's been a long time, lamp."

"...Long time no see, Su Shi."

Takamatsu Akira said somewhat timidly that, at Kusano Akira's repeated requests, although she no longer supported him, she still tightly gripped the hem of his clothes and quietly hid behind him.

"I never expected Xiaodeng to form a band again. I was really surprised when Aine-chan mentioned Xiaodeng's name at first."

After a pause, pretending not to notice Takamatsu Akari's gaze, Nagasaki Motoyo continued, "You..."

"I bet Xiaodeng misses her time at Crychic too, me too..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shiina Riki walked over and slammed the drink on the table, deliberately interrupting Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Let's not dwell on the past. Our band's name isn't Crychic."

Seemingly realizing her words had been a bit too direct, she changed the subject, saying, "Edge..."

"By the way, Su Shi, what are you doing today?"

"It's me, it's me, it's Su Shi-san whom I invited~"

Chihaya Aine jumped out, waving her hand and speaking to Shiina Tatsuki.

"Huh?! You're the bassist for the band we're forming?"

Shiina Tatsuki frowned, looking at Nagasaki Motoyo with disbelief.

"Hmm~"

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded with pleasure, as if she didn't care at all about Shiina Tatsuki's rudeness.

"...You guys chat first, I'm going to work now."

After giving Nagasaki Motoyo a suspicious look, she strode toward the counter as if a raging monster was chasing her.

The long-term vegetarian remained silent, gently kneading his soft fingertips with a gentle smile on his face, seemingly deep in thought.

"We've all met before, so there's no need for a special self-introduction."

Kusano Akira finally managed to pull his arm away from Takamatsu Akira, and breathed a sigh of relief. He gently swung his slightly sore arm.

"I think it's best to introduce myself, since Su Shi and Ming have just met."

“We live in the same building and we bumped into each other last night.”

"What a coincidence?"

"Yes, Tokyo is very small."

"You've probably heard about the general situation from Ai-yin, so I won't waste any more time. Let's rent a training room tomorrow to rehearse and see how everyone's level is."

"Qi%♂◇Jiu∮〗Seven Ba Search＼u: Kusano Akira clapped his hands and said to the others. At this moment, Riki also walked over. She dragged out a chair and sat down next to the lamp.

"Sigh, rehearsal is tomorrow..."

Chihaya Aine thought to herself with a sigh, it seems she needs to hurry up and get back to guitar practice. She tried playing yesterday, but her fingers were incredibly stiff.

A loud sound interrupted their conversation. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a girl with bright white hair standing there. She was constantly plucking the plectrum in her hand, and a frenetic, rapid rhythm came from the speaker.

Wow...that's amazing...

Chihaya Aine stared in disbelief at the girl's incredible guitar skills, and then thought about how her own guitar had been sitting there like a giant model for so long. Chihaya Aine felt a sense of pressure creeping up her spine.

"It's really great."

Kusano Akira nodded and sighed. You see, Kusano Akira had been involved in music since he was a child and had dabbled in guitar, but even so, he dared not say that he could do better than this girl.

"Well, does anyone else have anything to say?"

Kusano Akira clapped his hands and spoke to the girls.

"If not, let's disband for now, and we'll have our band activities tomorrow."

"I have it, I have it! Should we discuss the band name and uniforms first?"

Ai Yin excitedly raised her hand, and Li Xi, who was standing next to her, stood up and said calmly.

"Let's not rush these things. We're not going to perform right away. I'll bring you the lamp home later."

Lu Lixi really does like the little lamp as much as ever~

"I speak with a smile," said Nagasaki Motoyo, crossing her arms and supporting her head with the backs of her hands.

"Huh?!"

Hearing Su Shi's words, He Lixi let out a slightly embarrassed and angry "ha," but still secretly glanced at Deng's reaction out of the corner of her eye.

Akira looked at Kusano Akira's profile with some hesitation. Finally, she seemed to have made up her mind. Just as she was about to say something, she heard what Nagasaki Motoyo said.

"Ming, we live not far from home. Do you want to go back together later? I also have something I want to tell you."

"sure."

Why do I feel like there's a pair of eyes staring at me with ill intent? Is it just my imagination?

Kusano Akira popped a parfait into his mouth, thinking with some confusion.

Upon hearing Kusano Akira's words, Akira's expression became somewhat downcast. He repeatedly raised his hand, which had been trying to grab Kusano Akira's clothes, but ultimately let it go.

What's wrong with me? Why do I feel like I'm the only one who can't do it?

Looking at the atmosphere among the four people in front of her, Ai Yin felt a little unhappy, as if she couldn't fit in.

Seeing that Aine seemed a little unhappy, Kusano Akira gently moved his seat towards her. Noticing Kusano Akira's small action, Chihaya Aine didn't say anything, but simply pulled her seat closer to him.

After chatting for a while, the group dispersed. After getting off the tram, on their way home, Kusano Akira and Nagasaki Motoyo walked side by side down the street.

"..."

"..."

"Um... Su Shi? I remember you had something to say to me."

Unable to bear the awkwardness any longer, Kusano Akira took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Just call me Su Shi, we're bandmates."

Su Shi spoke with a smile, her delicate hand grasping a strand of hair near her ear, gently turning it, wrapping it around her finger, and then separating it.

"Ming, you previously said you were a fan of crychic⊙釟咝〔/彡）邻伍腫∽Ｚhqu：, can I ask you what your opinion is on crychic?"

“Then you can just call me Akira, Suze,” Kusano Akira sensed something was off about Suze’s tone, but he remained outwardly calm as he said, “Crychic is a great band. They performed so well even though it was their first time performing.”

"Speaking of which, it's quite a coincidence that our band has three former members of Crychic. Maybe it's fate."

Kusano Akira said half-jokingly, secretly glancing at Nagasaki Motoyo's profile, as if observing Motoyo's reaction.

Upon hearing the word "fate," Su Shi paused in her play with her hair and slowed her pace.

"...Maybe so~ fate or something."

Su Shi said in a sweet tone.

"Speaking of which, Ming, why did you want to form a band?"

Su Shi changed the subject and asked Kusano Akira a question.

“I guess it’s because I want to make friends.” Kusano Akira turned his head slightly, looking at Nagasaki Motoyo in the sidelight, his dark green eyes reflecting Nagasaki Motoyo’s figure.

"I've never had any friends growing up. I only vaguely remember having one in kindergarten, but I can't contact her at all now. I've forgotten her name and what she looks like. Even if I did, she'd probably have forgotten everything by now, just like me."

"Besides, if we suddenly go to them, they'll be very bothered. They're just kindergarten friends, and now they're suddenly talking about friendship and stuff."

Kusano Akira shook his head with a self-deprecating smile.

"I'm a pretty boring person. Besides music, I don't have anything else to show for myself, and I can't talk to people my own age at all."

"I lived alone like that until junior high school, until the day I saw Crychic perform."

“I admire you guys, Su Shi. You can shine on stage with your friends. That’s when I started to dream about forming a band. Maybe even someone like me can form my own band.”

Kusano Akira took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. The Tokyo night had no stars, only annoying neon lights. Nevertheless, the cool breeze that brushed against his skin was pleasant enough.

"So when I was a junior in college, I took the opportunity to perform a keyboard solo at a school festival."

The original intention of doing this was to use my keyboard skills to attract a few people interested in music to contact me, since I myself didn't have the courage to actively reach out to others.
