I received a recommendation message from the backstage. This is my first time writing a book, and I don’t know if I need to do anything to cooperate. Anyway, I’ll ask for votes first.

There is another chapter later, it will be a little late.

18 Thoughts, Team Name, Goals

"Great, now we have three members in our band!"

Because Deng finally agreed to join the band, Ain happily made a cute celebration gesture with her arms pressed down in front of her chest. It was worth it for Ain to specifically talk about her determination after having just experienced a major setback.

The reason why Aine can talk about her failure now is that on the one hand, Aine's attitude towards Deng and Qing is closer than that of Aine in the animation plot of the same period; on the other hand, Deng has shown a confused look in front of Aine many times, and Qing also frankly told the story of wanting to understand the romance of astronomy but never being able to understand it at noon. It is equivalent to Qing and Deng not seeing Aine as an outsider and being willing to show their not-so-good side. So Aine can naturally tell her unbearable side in order to help Deng untie the knot.

Of course, it would be a bit embarrassing for Aine to directly talk about how she went to study in London because she boasted in front of her junior high school classmates, but ended up returning to Tokyo in disgrace because of her poor oral English.

"That's great." Qingye smiled and nodded in agreement.

However, behind Qing, a figure with the same "planned" expression as Qing appeared, which made Deng look behind Qing in confusion. Of course, it was not to say that there was any supernatural phenomenon. The figure was just a projection of Qing's inner thoughts. It should not exist, so it should not be seen by anyone, but Deng's radio waves seemed to sense Qing's inner thoughts.

Why is Qing so concerned about Deng joining the band? In fact, in addition to wanting to help Deng untie his knot as Aine guessed, the main reason is that in Qing's plan, Deng should join the band before Su Shi and Li Xi.

In the anime plot of Mygo, Ain is the founder of the band, so why can she only rely on holding the Emperor of Lights hostage to control the other band members? Not to mention that Ain's position in the team is declining under the pen of the humorous mobile game planner.

One of the reasons is that Su Shi also founded the nameless band with Ain, and when Ain failed to invite Deng at the beginning, Su Shi gave information, which allowed Deng to join the band, and by the way, she and Li Xi became a small group of three crychic old members. This time Su Shi's contribution was too great, half of the people were invited by her, and a small group was formed instantly. In addition, Ain had a very good first impression of Su Shi, which led to Su Shi using her in the end and still speaking for her.

But if Aine can successfully invite Deng before Su Shi joins, she can easily win over Li Xi, who is a fan of Deng. When Su Shi joins the team at that time, as a newcomer who has not made any achievements, what can she use to restore the C team?

You mean a small group? Sorry, before you guys gathered the old members of crychic together, we, Ai Qingdeng, were already a small group of three!

The next step is to find Lixi and play the Deng card. Lixi can be found in RING, but Su Shi doesn’t even know which school Deng attends. The advantage is mine!

However, there are still some things about the band that need to be determined before that. In the original work, because Aine did not determine the band's goals when recruiting, Li Xi basically became the captain of mygo in the true sense, and had a great say in practice and live performances. It's not that Li Xi is not a good captain. On the contrary, her responsible personality makes her quite suitable for being a captain. But it is true that Aine was pressured by her in the early days of the band. As Aine's single promoter, it is necessary to avoid this.

So Qing pulled Aine and Deng to the table where they were drinking tea and asked them to sit down. Then he said with a serious expression as if he was talking about business: "Now that our band has reached three people, we can discuss some basic policies about the band."

Aine and Deng were shocked by Qing's aura and sat up straight with serious expressions on their faces.

Qing coughed lightly and said, "First of all, the name of the band."

“Yes!” Aine raised her hand and asked to speak.

Qing patted Aine's shoulder and said in a lighter tone, "Don't be so reserved. You are the founder of this band, right? Relax and discuss over tea."

Aine breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that, then smiled smugly and said, “As for the band name, how about Anon Tokyo?”

Hearing this unsurprising name, Qing's answer was...

"I think it's pretty good. It sounds like a name that can be used for a speech at the United Nations."

He actually agreed!

This actually made Aine feel a bit confused. After all, if her name was used for the band, wouldn't it make everyone else seem like she was just a foil? So Aine thought Qing would definitely not agree with this name, so she prepared a few more acceptable homophonic names, such as "UnKnown", "That.", "Anna Yu" and so on.

So Aine looked at Deng and asked tentatively, "What do you think of this team name?"

Deng thought about it. Although Anon Tokyo didn't seem to have as many special meanings as crychic, such as "a cry in elegance", this name was proposed by the human Aine, and the human Qing also thought the name was good, so it should be really good.

So, Deng looked at Aine seriously and said, “I think it’s great!”

Now Aiyin was in a dilemma. It wasn't that she thought of having a problem with her naming taste. She came up with the idea of using her own name as the band name out of her own selfish desire to be in the spotlight. But Qing and Deng agreed to her willfulness so easily. On the contrary, she felt a little reluctant to steal the limelight from them.

Aine slammed the table and stood up, emphasizing the issue of the band name, “Wait a minute, you guys need to think about it carefully, if you use this name you’ll be like my appendages! Actually, it’s totally fine to add your names to the band name, do you want to consider it?”

Qing crossed his arms with a calm face and said, "Isn't it good? After all, this is the band you formed, right? Then please carry the name of 'Anon Tokyo' well and work hard to keep the band going, how about that?"

In response to Qing's words, Deng clenched his fists in front of his chest and nodded continuously to show his agreement.

Seeing the two of them not caring, Aiyin also gave up and said in a self-deprecating manner: "Then it's agreed to use this name, you guys can't regret it, okay?"

"It seems that Deng and I have no objection. However, there will probably be other members joining in the future. I don't know whether the new members will have any objection to the name at that time. So Anon Tokyo will be the tentative name of the band. Whether it can become the official band name will be determined after all the band members are gathered." Qing Qingleng's words temporarily put the final touches on their band name.

Without feeling happy for a moment about the establishment of anon tokyo, Qing immediately moved on to the next topic.

"Next is the band's goal, which can be divided into short-term and long-term goals. We know that Deng wants to form a lifelong band, so let's just add forming a lifelong band to the long-term goal. Aiyin, what are your goals for playing in a band?"

When Deng heard that his wish of forming a lifelong band, which he didn't know how to realize, was planned into the band's long-term goal, he felt Qing's attention to him. He looked at his teacup happily and smiled. Suddenly, he felt that the hot steam rising from the tea was a bit like an owl.

Aiyin put her index finger under her lips and thought for a while, then said hesitantly, “Let’s just play in a band happily with everyone?”

Qing didn't have any objection to this playful attitude when he heard this. Instead, he nodded and said, "This is the same as what I think. But this should be considered a long-term goal, right? Are there any goals that we can achieve in the short term?"

“Let’s recruit the team members first.” This was Aine’s first thought.

However, Qing seemed dissatisfied with this goal: "This is natural. I don't think it is necessary to bring it up specifically. Do you have any other goals?"

Aine's eyes fell on the Roselia poster in the club room, and she had a flash of inspiration, so she suggested, "How about trying to hold a live show first?"

Qing nodded and agreed: "It's a very reasonable suggestion."

But this time Deng did not nod. Instead, he lowered his head and remained silent.

Qing and Aine both noticed the situation with the light, they looked at each other, Qing gently touched Aine's elbow, signaling Aine to go and see what was going on.

Aiyin shrugged helplessly, then quickly adjusted her expression and asked Deng with a smile: "Deng Deng, why are you silent? Do you think there is something wrong with this goal?"

Deng didn't know whether she should tell the truth about her worries. She thought that she might be too sensitive, but if she didn't say it, her heart would remind her again and again how crychic disbanded. So, Deng buried her head even lower, but because she buried her head low enough, the chrysanthemum fragrance of the hot tea in front of her penetrated into her nose. A refreshing feeling made Deng raise her head slightly, and she saw the hazy owl's hot steam dancing slowly in front of her. For some reason, Deng suddenly had the courage to speak out.

"After the first live show of crychic, Xiangzi stopped coming because I didn't sing well... Then, on a rainy day... Xiangzi quit crychic... They said they would hold many more live shows... But... I don't remember what happened at the live show... Maybe if they hold another live show, they will make the same mistake again..."

Aine sighed and said, "Is it crychic again?"

She already had a feeling of powerlessness that no matter how hard she tried, she could not help Deng escape from the shadow called "crychic".

Qing looked at Deng with a curious expression and asked, "I'm very curious. Deng has always said that your previous band disbanded because of your mistakes. But if you don't remember what happened at the live performance, how do you know that you didn't sing well? Also, did your former teammates accuse you of playing poorly by name?"

Deng recalled what Xiangzi said to her on that rainy day and said, "Some people say that I sing too hard... Xiangzi said that I am the one who needs practice the most..."

Now it was Aine’s turn to be surprised. Her expression was as if to say “That’s it?” She complained, “Singing too hard isn’t a serious matter at all, right? What Xiangzi said wasn’t very serious…”

Qing stood up and clapped his hands together eleven times, instantly attracting the attention of Ai Deng and the other person.

"Seeing is believing, so let's go and hear for ourselves how Deng sings. Aiyin, do you know where there's a KTV?"

Originally, the beginning of this chapter, about Ain and Qing Ladeng's mental journey of joining the gang, should have been placed in the previous chapter. I wrote it all in one go in the previous chapter when the emotions were in place, and forgot to include this mental journey. I hope it won't be too abrupt.

19 Karaoke, chorus, light

Inside the karaoke hall.

"There are three of us...ah, can we use the coupons?" Aiyin scrolled through her phone and suddenly found that she had an account and coupons that could be used, so she asked the receptionist.

"Sure." The receptionist affirmed with a businesslike smile.

Qing, who seemed a little bored, finally found a way to talk and exclaimed, "Ah, there are coupons, you are worthy of being a high school girl from Yangjiao."

Aiyin was operating her phone while speaking speechlessly, "This is normal, right? Qingqing, you are also a high school girl, and it was you who suggested going to karaoke, right?"

"I don't have any, and there shouldn't be any lamp either, right? A lamp?"

As he spoke, Qing turned around and looked at Deng who was behind Ai Qing and the others, but he only saw Deng standing there silently, looking at the self-service beverage machine not far away.

So Qing walked to Deng's side and asked, "What's wrong, Deng? Why are you staring at the beverage machine?"

Qing's words also attracted Aiyin's attention. She took a step back and glanced at Qingdeng and the others. She also asked with concern: "Is it because it's your first time in a karaoke hall and you feel a little unfamiliar? Don't be shy. Qingqing is probably coming to this kind of place for the first time too, right?"

Qing immediately retorted: "I have been to KTV and other places before, but I didn't go with friends before."

After not seeing each other for many years, only the names of old classmates are familiar, and colleagues who can't be said to be very familiar. These people really can't be called friends, but before traveling through time, Liu Zeqing still went to karaoke with these people who were not friends, so Qing is not unfamiliar with this kind of place.

Aine didn't think too much about it, she just thought Qing had only been here with her family, so she asked Deng, "Where's Deng? Have you been to karaoke before?"

Deng retracted his gaze towards the vending machine and responded, "I've been here before... with everyone from crychic..."

Crychic is still chasing me! This is what Aine is thinking at this moment.

Qing looked at the receptionist and asked, "Can I go get some drinks first?"

"Sure." The receptionist affirmed with a businesslike smile.

So Qing picked up a tray and three glasses, and filled the three glasses with lemonade. At this time, Aine had already opened a private room. Seeing Qing coming back with three glasses of lemonade, she couldn't help but ask, "Why lemonade?"

"Lemon water has the effect of whitening and nourishing the skin, and it is also good for the heart." Qing mechanically said what sounded like something written in an encyclopedia.

After hearing that lemon water can whiten skin, Aiyin shut her mouth and walked towards the private room holding Deng's hand.

Qing followed and walked up to Deng's side and actually started to apologize.

"Sorry, Deng. There are important memories of yours here too, right?"

Deng looked up at Qing in confusion and asked, "Why is Xiaoqing apologizing?"

Qing is obviously not the kind of person who would apologize for something like this.

The corners of Qing's lips slightly raised, revealing a cynical smile as he said, "Of course it's because Aine and I will soon add our colors to your important memories! Don't worry, we will make a mess of it."

Aiyin, who was walking in front, complained: "I didn't say I wanted to commit a crime with your gang, can't we just sing karaoke normally?"

"That won't do." Qing raised the three glasses of lemonade in his hand, "You have no other choice, just like this lemonade. You have to drink it today whether you like it or not."

“Okay, you’re really tough… We’re here, right here.” Aiyin pushed open the door of the box and let Qingdeng and the other person go in first.

But the two people who entered the box first had no intention of ordering songs. They just found a good seat and sat down. The seats in the box were a U-shaped long sofa. Qing sat in the middle and Aine naturally sat opposite the lamp.

"Why don't you order songs? Don't you want to listen to Deng Deng sing?" Ai Yin, who couldn't stand the weird atmosphere, asked.

Qing pushed the song selection machine towards the light and said, "Yes, we have to let the light select songs. I don't know what songs you can sing."

Seeing the song-ordering machine pushed in front of him, Deng didn't take it and said embarrassedly: "I...can't sing..."

Qing continued to push the glass of lemonade towards the lamp, and then asked, "How come? Weren't you the lead singer of the band before? Or is Kulaixiku a band with multiple lead singers, and you are actually taking advantage of the situation?"

Deng shook her head to show her negation and said nothing more. Seeing this, Aiyin quickly picked up the song request machine to smooth things over and said, "Maybe Deng Deng is a little nervous. We can sing together to warm her up and let her sing freely."

Then Aine asked while operating the jukebox skillfully, “Can you sing Sumimi’s song? How about I sing Hatsuka’s part and Deng Deng sing Mana’s part?”

The light's response to this was a confused rhetorical question: "Who?"

"Huh? You don't know Sumimi? Well, sometimes I wonder if I'm out of date or if you guys are too un-JK." Maybe it was because she had a deeper understanding of Deng, or maybe it was because she was desensitized by Qing and Deng's behaviors that often didn't have the slightest bit of high school girl vibe, but Aine was able to quickly accept the fact that Deng didn't know Sumimi, a popular idol group.

What she didn't expect was that Qing denied it at this time: "I still know what Sumi said. After all, the big screen in the square is playing their songs on a loop."

"Is that so? Then Qingqing and I will sing first. If Dengdeng has any song you want to order, feel free to order it." After saying that, Aiyin directly ordered "Here, the World".

"If it's limited to Here, the World, I can sing it." Qing picked up the microphone and declared. After all, in the MyGO animation, no matter how popular Sumi is, there is only one insert song.

Deng also subconsciously picked up a pair of maracas and imitated Xiangzi who once cheered for his teammates.

The big screen was playing the MV for "Here, the World", and the two members of the group Sumimi were speaking the opening words and introducing themselves.

Aine also took this opportunity to introduce Sumimi to Deng, who didn’t know her, “That’s them. Aren’t they cute?”

However, Deng didn't feel anything. He just looked at the screen and then at Aine with his big innocent eyes without saying anything.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly awkward, a cold and emotionless voice came from the speakers.

"I think you're cuter than them, Aine."

Qing stood up to breathe more smoothly, staring at the screen and said this casually.

This made Aine a little bit unsure of how to respond. She was the type who would act cute to ask for compliments, but if she was suddenly praised for being cute without being prepared, she would still feel shy.

“Ah… Thank you for the compliment… No matter what, I can’t compare to the current idols…” She also stood up and turned her head towards the big screen. The expression on her face could not be seen clearly in the dim box.

I don't know why, in the opening chorus of "Here, the World", Aine didn't keep up with the rhythm of the song, but it didn't matter, Deng's maracas didn't shake the rhythm very well, and Qing sang his part without any emotion. In this case, there is only one word to describe the performance of this song: it's terrible.

After the song was over, Aiyin sat down and took a few gulps of lemonade. The sour taste in her mouth made her shiver all over.

"I think Chuhua doesn't sing much in this song, so is it necessary to drink water like this?" Qing first put the microphone on the table, then slowly sat down and said.

"What the hell is it to you!" Aiyin glared at Qing unhappily, thinking to herself that this guy was such a clueless guy.

Qing did not care about it anymore, but looked at Deng and asked, "Have you decided what song you want to sing?"

Deng shook his head and said the same thing: "I can't sing..."

“Sigh…” Aine puffed up her face and picked up the jukebox, feeling a little resentful of Deng for being so difficult to deal with. After all, in Aine’s opinion, Deng used to be the lead singer in the band, so how could he not be able to sing?

“Is it called ‘Haruhi Kage’? I can’t find it…” The blank result from the song-ordering machine thwarted Aine’s plan to order a song that she would definitely sing for the lamp.

Qing leaned back on the sofa, took out his phone and tapped the screen. In his spare time, he asked Deng, "Deng, have you not heard many songs so you can't sing, or do you simply not want to sing?"

Deng quickly waved the maracas in his hand and denied, "I'm not unwilling to sing... I just don't listen to songs very much..."

"I see." Qing nodded, clicked on his phone a few times quickly, and when he looked up again, he cast a cold look towards the light.
