Why play in a band if you don't form one for life?

"Yukina-san, have some fruit." She put down the berries. "We haven't had any in a while."

Hearing what Ako said, Youkina turned her head slightly, took the fruit from Ako's hand, took a bite, and juice overflowed from her mouth.

Lisa wanted to find a piece of cloth, but after searching for a long time, she only found a piece for wiping the bass, so she had to take it out and help Youxina wipe the corner of his mouth: "We really don't have anything at this point in time... Youxina, don't blame yourself. There was nothing anyone could do about the situation at that time."

Yukina's hand trembled slightly, the berry was crushed, and the juice flowed from between his fingers: "But, I was given such a responsibility, but I couldn't do anything. It's my incompetence."

"Minato-san." Saya came over. "I don't blame you, and neither will anyone else. If it was Tokido-san who won, or if you were replaced with Wu-san or Ohba-san, it wouldn't make any difference. That kind of change was something none of us had expected."

"but……"

Saya forced Yukina's face up so that she could see her expression.

On her face, there was still the despair of watching Hina die in her arms, and the jewel-like determination that came from it.

She said: "Instead of regretting, we should think about solutions. We have a chance to start over, so don't waste it."

……

seaside.

Arisaki heard the sound of the ocean and saw the endless blue waves.

"Eh... aren't we dead..." She didn't react.

“Ahhhhhh——————!!!” Suddenly, she heard Kasumi’s screams.

She didn't have time to wonder and quickly gathered over with the people around her.

Only members of Poppin' Party are here.

Kasumi knelt on the ground, holding her head tightly with her hands, her fingers dug deeply into her hair, her whole body curled up into a ball, shaking violently, and screaming heart-wrenchingly.

The four of them held her tightly until her body finally relaxed and she stopped moaning.

“Ha…haah…haah…” Kasumi leaned on Saaya’s shoulder, panting.

Although he knew he shouldn't disturb her rest, Yusaki couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"... Time." Kasumi opened her eyes, "We have returned to the time when we first came into this world..."

"Huh——?" Arisaki and Satomi shouted together.

Duohui looked around and nodded: "I see."

"You just accepted it? What a big heart you have..." Yusaki glanced at her, then looked at Kasumi, "Then what happened to you just now?"

Kasumi shook her head: "My ability is originally related to time... I guess there is some kind of conflict."

Duohui has completely accepted the reality and is thinking about her future plans: "What should I do next? Should I go find everyone, or wait for Hinata-san?"

"I told you not to accept it so quickly..." Arisaki sighed, "Let Kasumi rest first."

Rimi stood up and looked at the empty coast: "Then we need to set up some tents first."

"Yeah." Arisaki stood up and said, "Let me do it."

Before they met the others, they had been living in Arisaki's tree house.

"Rimi, go find some water." Saaya pointed in a direction, "I remember there is a river there."

Kasumi lay quietly, listening to the others making arrangements in an orderly manner, and the beating of the stars in her mind gradually calmed down.

"The prophecy has come true..." She whispered to herself in a voice that even Sha Ling could hardly hear. Her expression was hidden in Sha Ling's arms and no one could see it clearly.

The originally chaotic and violent flow of information in my mind gradually returned to normal with the encouragement of the stars.

Chapter 71: Flying Letter

"(…I'm going to die, but at least I'll die before Xiaoyi Li…)"

An attack came from nowhere towards my head.

"what!"

Kita rolled over from the bed, gasping for breath.

I suddenly felt a cold sweat on my back.

Open your eyes and look around you.

I slept on a bed under the stage. There were five beds lined up next to me. I was the third bed from the left to the right.

Everyone else was woken up by the sound of his own voice.

"Um...Yu Dai, it's so noisy." Liang was on his right side, and did not sit up, but just covered his eyes.

"If it's too noisy, you should cover your ears..." Hong Xia sat up dazedly, opened her eyes a little, and still complained, "What time is it... I'm so sleepy, I want to sleep a little longer."

Yili didn't say anything, just turned over.

Marina sat up and looked at the clock. She was obviously much more awake. "But it's almost nine o'clock... Didn't you get enough sleep?"

Shizi pushed the door open and came in: "After all, they just went through that... Let them sleep a little longer."

"Huh?" Kita looked to the left and found that Shizi's bed was empty, and even the folded quilt had not been spread out.

Kita looked at Shiko in confusion.

Logically speaking, she should be resting now after finally returning, so why does she still have so many things to do?

Shizi waved his hand.

Nana had eliminated her need for sleep, and she couldn't fall asleep even if she lay in bed, so she might as well find something to do.

But she didn't have the habit of talking when others were asleep, so she didn't explain, but just quietly closed the door.

I don't know when her sleep will return. It can't be that it will take several months for Nana to return to this world, right?

However, Kita came out soon after.

Shizi was practicing the piano alone. Kita opened the door of the recording studio: "Last night, I felt like there was an earthquake. Do you have any idea?"

"Eh?" Shizi raised his head, looking a little embarrassed. "It was quite late then, wasn't it?"

"So it was you who did it." Kita's expression showed no surprise at all.

"Uh..." Shizi turned his head away, but after thinking about it, there was nothing to hide, "I killed Heishan."

"Eh." Kita hasn't reacted yet.

"I meant that I killed Montenegro." Shizi repeated.

Kita held his head and thought for a long time: "You mean... the Black Mountain who was going to destroy CiRCLE in the future, and we took half a year to avenge him?"

"Yes." Shizi admitted it as if he was saying "Today is a sunny day."

"Well...well..." Kita was speechless for a moment and couldn't say anything.

She finally regained her ability to speak: "Well... Xiao Shizi is really strong..."

Shizi's smug expression seemed to be waiting for her to say this.

"Do you want me to tell you what happened in detail?" She gestured, "In short, it's just kneading, pressing, kneading, and kneading into a ball..."

Eat dumplings for breakfast.

Hong Xia pulled a ball off the bamboo stick and chewed it: "...Anyway, you beat it half to death and threw it into Xingtian?"

"Yeah." Shizi swallowed the dumpling and drank a sip of lemonade. "I can feel that it succeeded, but the energy is still a little short. I will slowly provide it with food, and it should be fine after a while."

Although some energy needs to be allocated to CiRCLE, for them now, the demand for CiRCLE is negligible. Last night, Shizi had already charged CiRCLE with enough energy for several months.

After completing this task, she was not idle.

……

Plains, riverside.

A small church was erected overnight.

Yazi pushed open the old door, walked out, and breathed in a breath of fresh air towards the rising sun: "Living here makes me feel strangely peaceful... and handsome!"

The memory of the death just now is still clear. But I didn't have a nightmare at night. I can only guess that it was the credit of the church created by Youxina.

I don’t have to worry about the future for now, and I can sleep completely peacefully. I haven’t had this experience in a long time.

It has been a long time since I felt the slightly humid morning mist on the plains.

"It would be perfect if I could change my clothes..." She sniffed her armpits carefully. There seemed to be no smell, but it was hard to say what would happen after that.

At this point in time, all they had were the performance costumes they wore when they traveled through time, and none of the five of them had anyone who could create clothes out of thin air.

Before they met the band that ended, they could only endure the shame and cover their bodies with clothes woven from leaves and vines, but now, not to mention that they have forgotten how to weave clothes, Yazi herself does not want to go back to that state.

Yukina came up from behind her and glanced at her: "Good morning."

"Good morning, Yukina-san..." She turned her head and looked at Yukina's expression carefully, "Are you feeling better?"

"Thank you for your concern." Youxi seemed to have regained his usual dignity. "I've been thinking about it all night and have some ideas."

"idea?"

"That's right." Youxina nodded and was about to start explaining.

However, she suddenly sensed something and turned her head towards the upstream of the river: "What is that?"

Several black spots appeared in the air and gradually grew larger. As they approached, Youshina heard a roar similar to that of an engine.

The black spots gradually grew into several packages, which were hung on flying swords and descended towards Youxina and the others.

When almost reaching the ground, flames ignited on the flying sword, burning the ropes, and several packages fell between the two people, while the flying sword formed a circle and hovered on the side.

Yazi blinked and realized what was going on: "Shizi-san?"

Yukina picked up a letter from among several packages. It was wrapped in fireproof material. "From Yukina Minato."

She opened the letter and read it slowly.

The letter begins by explaining the encore to Yukina, as well as speculation about when the others will return.

Later, Shizi explained his plan for "Xingtian" and asked for Youshina's opinion.

Finally, she said that CiRCLE's problem had not been resolved yet, and hoped that Roselia would come to the plateau to reunite with them.

“The method is…” She looked at the flying sword.

However, Azi shouted first: "Wow!"

Yazi had already unpacked the packages: one package contained neatly arranged spare clothes for Roselia and the other four people; one package contained a full set of camping gear; one package contained food and water; and one package contained folding equipment whose purpose was still unclear.

Yazi went back first with the clothes in her arms: "I'll send the clothes over first!"

Youxina nodded and continued reading the letter.

"The method is ..."

She looked at the flying sword on the side again.

Shizi said that they should unfold the folding equipment in the package into a cage, install a flying sword on it, and use it as a simple flying vehicle to carry the five people over.

Is it really possible?

She had some doubts.

……

Kasumi was at the beach, watching the flying sword spinning happily in front of her.

Even without the encouragement of the stars, she saw her terrifying future.

“…Can I walk over there?”

she muttered.

Chapter 72: Up

A few days later, at the door of CiRCLE.

The sky was as spotless as ever.

Shizi stood on the roof, staring at the sky for a long time.

The hem of her brown dress fluttered in the wind.
