For the peace of the Lonely Band, please sacrifice yourself!

"Indeed, so why do you always put the blame on me? You should look for the reasons on yourself, right?"

"???"

"Huh? What the hell are you talking about?"

Mochizuki Saku was so shocked that his blood pressure was rising. He was almost fooled by Yamada Ryo's rogue thinking. He covered his forehead and suddenly wanted to find Ijichi Kouka to ask her how she could tolerate Ryo's despicable personality for so long. He really wanted to learn some advanced knowledge from his senior.

Yamada Ryo supported his hands on a piece of frosted glass, his breathing was a little rapid, and his cheeks were flushed as if he was drunk.

Her original idea was to play a trick on Wang Yueshuo. Of course, she also wanted to take a look at the handsome young man's sexy body, but she only wanted to see it a little bit.

Yamada Ryo listened to Mochizuki Saku talking to her through the glass. The diffuse mist gradually stopped expanding, and vague shapes could be seen vaguely. She suddenly was no longer in a hurry to rush in. Ryo licked her dry lips, a smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and she knocked on the glass lightly, and was about to say something.

The next moment, Mochizuki Saku was wearing a bathrobe, with water droplets still on his skin that had not been wiped clean. Through his open neckline, water drops were sliding down his delicate and graceful collarbone. His wet hair drooped down, its color becoming darker, and his gray-brown eyes stared at the "evil-doing" Yamada Ryo with depression.

"You finished washing so soon?"

Yamada Ryo thought something was wrong and silently took two steps back, almost wanting to run out of the door.

"Or I'll wait for you to continue teasing me through the glass?"

Mochizuki Shuo rolled his eyes at her, and stared at the shy Yamada Ryo. His anger suddenly subsided, and he put on a ferocious look, and warned her fiercely: "Be careful, or I will really provoke you, and then you will not only be tough with your mouth."

At that time....the mouth should be soft, right?

An idea suddenly occurred to Yamada Ryo.

"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you, I won't really go in~" The girl snorted softly, turned around, pushed open the door, and continued:

"At most, I'll take a few photos of you getting out of the bath and post them on Bluebird, and then take a few more photos of you taking a bath and sell them on the fan membership special offer to make a little money."

"You won't get far if you engage in pornography..."

“But it moves fast~”

Chapter 102: The End of the Summer Festival, Their Growth

The orange-red sunset dyed the entire sky, and the clear sky and flowing clouds were dyed into beautiful pink and purple ribbons.

At the seaside, the moisture-laden wind gently caresses my cheeks.

Mochizuki Saku drank an ice soda and quietly watched the five girls from "After School TEA TIME" standing on the stage surrounded by the crowd from the front row. From his angle, he could even see the lead singer and bassist adjusting his breathing and his chest moving slightly.

The lavender sun-protection jacket was blown up by the sea breeze, and the pair of clear black and white eyes seemed to be staring at him and the five girls around him. The meaningful look made him feel a little embarrassed and guilty, and he showed a polite smile.

Akiyama Mio's expression gradually brightened with the opening words, causing the slanting rays of light to return to normal. The golden setting sun spread selflessly, returning its warmth to the world lavishly.

Dusk, a word that brings up sentimentality and romance, but at this moment, surrounded by the huge crowds of people, it becomes passionate and uplifting.

Watching the band's fans raising their cheering sticks and cheering from the bottom of their hearts, as well as the continuous encores, Mochizuki Shuo couldn't help but feel happy.

"After School TEA TIME" has really become a famous and popular girl band. The judgment he made from the beginning of the band's establishment was considered by them to be empty words of encouragement at the time, but now it has become a visible fact.

I guess they are excited too.

Mochizuki Saku could see guitarists Hirasawa Yui and Nakano Azusa subconsciously clenching their fists, keyboardist Tsumugi Tsumugi standing awkwardly with her fleshy legs pacing from side to side, the bright smile on Tianzhong Ritsu's pretty face, and the slight trembling of bassist Akiyama Mio's delicate body.

Wang Yueshuo watched this scene quietly, carefully treasured it in his camera and slightly narrowed eyes.

Even though the sun rises and the moon sets, and time passes quickly, he thinks he will never forget it. He will print out the photos and put them in an album so that he can look back for memories later.

When I am old and have children, I will open the thick photo album and see the handsome looks of the young and beautiful girls at that time. My mind will bypass the fog and travel through time. Now they are enjoying the glory on the stage, and I will watch them quietly in the audience and talk about the past with my children with a smile. They are the ones who witnessed their father’s growth from youth to maturity.

Wang Yueshuo shook his head, put aside his fantasy about the future, and sighed self-deprecatingly at his rich imagination. He was thinking too far ahead. The most important thing at the moment should be to follow the audience and applaud and celebrate for the heroic girls on the stage.

He patted his forehead. Goto Ichiri, who was sitting obediently beside him, looked at Mochizuki's face curiously. A helpless expression appeared on Saku's face, his slightly long eyelashes trembled slightly, his beautiful and bright eyes closed, and the gentle smile that usually appeared on the corner of his mouth also changed.

I always feel that he is different from the Brother Shuo in my memory?

Goto Ichiri saw him covering his forehead and thought he had a fever, so he moved closer, put his thighs and calves close together, and gently placed his fair little hands on Mochizuki Saku's forehead, including the boy's palm.

Well, it doesn't feel hot, so it shouldn't be a fever.

"Shuo...Brother Shuo, do you have a headache?" Pochi-chan clenched her fists and placed them on her knees, her pair of lake blue eyes casting a worried look.

"It's okay, I just feel a little tired suddenly." Mochizuki Saku wanted to brush it off at first, but when he saw Goto Ichiri's serious look, he shook his head and explained, "I've been running around all day today, and the weather is terribly hot, so I'm a little tired."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Come to think of it, Brother Saku has been busy since morning, buying us ice drinks and ice cream. He didn't even have time to rest in the afternoon before the music festival began." Goto Ichiri nodded in conviction.

"Brother Shuo, you must take good care of yourself. We are not children anymore and you don't have to take care of us everywhere." Boqi said. She thought of how Wangyue Shuo had taken care of them these days and couldn't help feeling a little shy. It seemed like she had always been relying on Brother Shuo.

"Yeah, go to bed early and get more rest tonight." Mochizuki Saku yawned and looked at Akiyama Mio on the stage with sleepy eyes.

"Then our after-school tea party performance ends here~ Thank you all for your applause, and thank you Mina-san for coming all the way here to celebrate summer with us!" Akiyama Mio used the microphone to transmit her voice from the front row to the back row, once again causing flashes like a wave of colors.

They waved goodbye to the audience, packed up their audio equipment and musical instruments, and headed backstage.

As they left, Mochizuki Saku and the girls who had finished the band also quietly left.

Pushing open the door of the rest area, Mochizuki Saku immediately saw Akiyama Mio wiping her sweat with a towel and Tianzhong Ritsu sitting by the door enjoying the fan and eating chocolate ice cream. The three of them looked at each other and blinked at the same time.

"Everyone's performance was great. My hands are about to turn red from clapping." Wang Yueshuo opened the topic and showed them his red palms as if to take credit.

"Huh? Are you an idiot?" Tianzhong Ritsu showed a dumbfounded expression, looked at Mochizuki who was gradually approaching, and slowly took two steps back.

"Is it possible that you couldn't help yourself because your performance was so great?" Wang Yueshuo raised his eyebrows.

"Shocked! I actually heard compliments from you?!" Tianzhong Ritsu pretended to open his eyes wide and opened his mouth wide while covering it with his hands.

".....Stereotype, right?" Mochizuki Shuo rolled his eyes.

"Hehe~"

The girls who followed him in, except Mochizuki Rin, were seeing everyone in the light music club for the second time. Looking at Mochizuki Saku who was greeting and chatting with them in a familiar manner, and feeling their real gazes falling on their faces, the girls, except Yamada Ryo, were more or less embarrassed.

He really is used to hanging out with girls.

Yamada Ryo glanced at Mochizuki's profile out of the corner of his eye and sighed in his heart.

"Long time no see—" Kotobuki Tsumugi tilted her head and waved to them gracefully.

At this time, Mochizuki Saku also bowed slightly and said, "Long time no see. I am Mochizuki Saku, the new member of the band. Please take care of me, senior!"

Looking at Mochizuki Saku's funny look, Kotobuki Tsumugi pretended to be stern, crossed her arms across her chest, nodded and said, "Very good, Mochizuki junior is very polite and deserves praise ~ Puchi ~" Before she finished speaking, she laughed out loud and waved her hands quickly.

"No, this is really too weird! It's so funny to think that someone you know well becomes your junior—"

Seeing the interaction between Mochizuki Saku and the beautiful keyboard player, the girls who had finished the band looked at each other in confusion.

Chapter 103 Game Time in the Hotel

Just when they were considering whether to learn Wang Yueshuo, they saw the girl with long black hair slowly grabbed his ear and hit the top of his thick-haired head with a knife.

"Hissing pain!"

"Come on, I didn't try hard at all."

Akiyama Mio rolled her eyes, turned around and greeted them who were standing at the door at a loss, and said casually:

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed everyone. This is not the first time we've met. We had a great meal at the barbecue restaurant last time. Both of our bands have a good relationship with Shuo, so there's no need to be so nervous, and there's no need to call us seniors or anything like that."

"By the way, it's been almost a month since we last met, right?"

The four girls nodded.

Ijichi Hongxia also sighed: "Time flies so fast. I didn't expect that it has been a month in a blink of an eye. It feels like the first LIVE was just yesterday." She scratched her face with a wry smile.

"Because my days are very fixed - rehearsals and studies, the schedule for the past month seems to be like this." Mochizuki Saku shrugged helplessly and sighed bitterly.

"Brother Mochizuki is a graduate after all." Kita Ikuyo echoed.

Akiyama Mio and Tianzhong Ritsu, who knew Mochizuki Saku's true nature, showed speechless disgust at the same time. He skipped classes from Xiuhua to Sakuragaoka countless times this month, and occasionally accompanied them to play games, go shopping, drink coffee and eat big meals during holidays...

How much time does he spend on studying? I can't say.

"After you finish packing, let's go back to the hotel together?" Wang Yueshuo saw their expressions, coughed lightly without blushing, and changed the subject calmly: "I brought Monopoly and playing cards."

"Monopoly?" Tianzhong Ritsu's eyes lit up.

"Poker cards?" Yamada Ryo rubbed his hands together.

The competitive (greedy) blood in the two people's bodies suddenly boiled.

"Let's be honest. Don't get so excited." Wang Yueshuo was startled by the burning gazes they cast at him at the same time. He was almost sweating. He quickly reminded them, "This is a gathering of friends, so no money is involved."

"......" Yamada Ryo lost his energy in an instant.

"It doesn't matter. I will prove who is the richest man in Tokyo~" Tian Zhongli sneered and put his hands on his waist: "Money is something outside of my body. I regard it as dirt."

"I hope so." Wang Yueshuo's mouth twitched.

.........

21:30, Coconut Green Hotel, Room 1603.

The situation on the field was extremely serious. Even Tianzhong Ritsu, who owned Keio University and Shinjuku District, and the richest partner Yamada Ryo, were defeated again and again by Akiyama Mio's superb skills. Their current struggle was nothing more than a soft knife cutting their flesh, a slow death.

Sweat dripped from their foreheads. Tianzhong Ritsu bit her fingernails nervously, while Yamada Ryo held his knees with a serious expression, giving a feeling of tension like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge.

Those who had been eliminated earlier couldn't help but worry for them. Hirasawa Wei held a piece of watermelon in her hand, her eyes didn't blink, and her mouth didn't stop.

Time passed quietly by every second, and Liang Lu and the other man ultimately could not escape defeat.

Because of a mistake, Liang fell into Akiyama Mio's pig-killing scheme and owed tens of millions of dollars. He had to sell land to pay off his debts. The remaining cash flow was almost cut off, and he was OUT in tears.

With the gambler's mentality of "taking a chance to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle", Lu Ze bet all his resources on one throw, and ended up completely ruining his victory in the game.

The winner who had the last laugh turned out to be Mio Akiyama, who was steady and cautious and not in a hurry. Except for a few people in the light music club who had already known Mio's strength, everyone else showed surprised expressions.

"I didn't expect Mio to be so good at playing Monopoly..." the referee Mochizuki Saku exclaimed in shock.

"During the last school trip in Kyoto, Mio swept the whole place with her dominance, and made Xiaolu, who called herself the 'last overlord of Wall Street', question her life. She hugged her thighs on the spot and begged on her knees to take her as her apprentice." Kotobuki Tsumugi said with a smile, recalling what happened in the hotel room during the school trip in Kyoto.

"So amazing? She has been keeping a low profile, so we can't tell." Wang Yueshuo was stunned for a moment, and asked urgently: "Are there any other interesting things? I'm very curious!"

"Of course there is—"

"Tsumugi-chan! Don't tell him~!"

"Hey~"

Kotobuki Tsumugi winked at Mochizuki Saku in a cute way and zipped up her lips shyly.

On the other side, Tianzhong Ritsu tightly grasped his arms, gritted his teeth, and cried with tears in his eyes.

"Damn it!!! Why can't you control my hand?!"

"Gamblers may feel good for a moment, but their loved ones will shed tears." Wang Yueshuo shook his head and looked disappointed.

"You don't understand. If the dice can roll out three 3s in the end, then I can fight back and turn defeat into victory!" Tian Zhongli sighed and looked at the three dice on the table: 6, 1, 2. His eyes became complicated and he fell into silence for a long time.

.....It's obvious that God doesn't want me to win!

Tianzhong Ritsu felt like crying but had no tears, and he covered his heart sadly.

"I didn't expect Senior Akiyama to be so talented in Monopoly." Yamada Ryo quickly recovered from his failure, and looked at Akiyama Mio with admiration, clasping his hands together and saying, "I'm not as good as you, I admit defeat."

"I didn't expect Ryo-senpai to lose." Kita said in disbelief.

“I don’t think so at all.

Liang will win." Yijizhi Hongxia explained with her head resting on the side of her head: "She doesn't even understand her daily expenses, she doesn't know how to manage, she spends money lavishly, and she has bad luck, how can she win~"

"That's true. I heard that Senior Ryo has been eating grass these days?" Kita asked worriedly, remembering that he had seen Yamada Ryo eating fresh wild vegetables covered with dew.

"I saw her eating grass last week. This week she sold her ticket to Shuo-kun, so she won't have to worry about food and drink for the time being." Yidi Chi Hongxia shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I think she will spend the money somewhere in less than five days."

"And I heard that she still owes money to Saku-kun and Pochi-chan... and hasn't paid a cent back yet."

"Ahahaha.....it fits my imagination of Ryo-senpai very well."

"So far, she owes me almost 20,000 yen." Mochizuki Saku thought for a moment and added.

"Red bean paste?! Ugh, senior is so bad..."

Kita Ikuyo looked at the senior who was happily eating the watermelon. The image of the cool sister in her mind, who was handsome and elegant, and exuded seductive charm in every move, was on the verge of collapse.

This senior is so despicable.
