After being elected as the governor of Tokyo, he will debut as a band!

With her head held high and a self-righteous air, Izayoi said, "That's why I invited Ms. Wakaba to teach us some simple and useful street fighting skills."

"Hey, stop joking around, Nina. Fighting isn't something you can learn so easily. I don't know about Subaru's situation, but neither of us has ever practiced fighting before. Even if we did, it wouldn't be very useful in the short term, right?"

Firstly, Momoka Kawaharaki is quite clear-headed and knows that fighting requires either hard work or a lot of real combat experience; it's unrealistic to expect to learn special moves in just a few days on a whim. Secondly, she really doesn't want to push her body to do any sports. These days, she only has energy when she's making music; otherwise, she'd rather lie on the sofa all the time. If she could also drink a bottle of beer and eat some beef jerky, that would be even better—she's practically a dried-up woman.

Therefore, she had no desire to accompany Jing Qinren to learn any quick self-defense techniques.

"What if we run into someone with ill intentions again!" Izare Nina exclaimed indignantly. "Do you think you and Hiroi-san were taken to the police station (koban) the night before last, and then inexplicably released? Do you think that happens every day? And the time before that, if it weren't for Wakaba-san's righteous intervention, we might have ended up in the hospital. Learning a few self-defense techniques to fight off or scare away those with ill intentions before things get serious is a much wiser choice!"

"No, no, someone as honest and upright as me would never easily get into a conflict with someone. Appropriate tolerance can prevent a lot of trouble..."

Momoka Kawara waved her hand dismissively.

An and Subaru looked on with suspicion. If it was really as Izare Jinna said, that Kawaraki Momoka had gotten into physical conflicts with two groups of people within a few days, then she certainly couldn't be considered an honest and law-abiding person.

“Yes, Ms. Kawaraki, you can certainly use that excuse to deceive yourself, but the current situation is that you’ve already formed a band with me,” Izare Nina brought her face close to Kawaraki Momoka’s, staring at her fiercely, “Ms. Momoka, do you think I’m the kind of person who would choose to give in when there’s a conflict with someone?”

"Well..."

Momoka Kawahara subconsciously shifted her gaze to the side.

Although she hadn't known Jingqin Rencai for long, she could tell from these few days that the girl's personality was unusually difficult to deal with.

Previously, when she was surrounded by nine tall men and women in Roppongi, Nagasaki Motoyo was terrified, while Igi Serina acted like, "Come on! Hit them!" and "Whoever cries is a coward..." The same thing happened the day before yesterday at the Okawa Station entrance. A normal person seeing the police would apologize first, or a braver one might argue a bit about the matter at hand. But what did Igi Serina do? She immediately tried to rush up and push them, and...

In a moment of carelessness, I accidentally hit someone in the face with my guitar; thankfully, nothing serious happened.

Do you expect someone like that to "endure for a while and things will calm down"?

In the end, Momoka Kawahara gave in, "Okay, I agree with you. At least for you, Nina, learning some self-defense techniques would be very useful. But for me, forget it... my old arms and legs can't take that kind of strain."

"Don't say such discouraging things! Miss Momoka, you're only twenty years old. Besides, more people mean more help."

"and many more."

Jingqin Rencai's words gave Anhe Subaru, who was sitting obediently to the side, a bad feeling.

"Rin, judging from what you're saying, does that mean I should also get involved in learning self-defense?"

“Every band member deserves a share! Subaru, as the drummer, you should make a greater contribution to this!”

"Why?!"

"Because percussion instruments are very physically demanding, right? And compared to guitarists, bassists, and keyboardists who can play simply by moving their fingers, drummers have a much larger range of motion when playing, making them natural-born fighters!"

"That's a stereotype! Who says drummers necessarily have good stamina?"

An and Subaru feigned weakness, shakily raising their hands. "I'm a rare, sickly drummer, so I guess I won't get involved?"

"……OK then."

"Huh? That's great..."

"how could it be possible!"

At first, Jingqin Rencai pretended to agree, and then, taking advantage of the moment when Anhe Subaru relaxed, she pounced on him with bared teeth and claws, and then began to wrestle with Anhe Subaru, their fingers interlocked.

"You... little thing, what are you doing..."

Anhe Mao looked at Jingqin Rencai's face, which was inches away from his own, and said through gritted teeth.

"With your strength, how dare you call yourself sick and weak?! Learning self-defense is part of the band's activities. You can't not participate, and you can't quit the band because of it."

"Little thing, you're really domineering!"

……

Two minutes later, Anhe Maohe and the people in the scenic area sat back down on the sofa, panting.

"Then we'll have to trouble Miss Ruoye to teach us a few tricks."

After catching her breath, Jing Qinrencai said.

“I haven’t said I agreed yet.” Anhe Subaru frowned unhappily.

"Shall we fight again?"

"Never mind... I'll just treat it as playing with a kid."

An and Subaru waved their hands, admitting defeat.

This little thing is really outrageous. She's not very tall and looks small, but she's surprisingly strong. I wrestled with her for two minutes, and it felt more tiring than playing the drums for half an hour...

"Alright, the resolution is unanimously passed!"

Jingqin Rencai clapped happily, completely ignoring Kawara Momoka's muttering "What a load of rubbish!" beside her.

"Then, Miss Wakaba, please teach us a set of street fighting techniques that can easily defeat enemies!"

"I……"

Wakaba Mutsumi and Iori Rina stared at each other for a long while, then, as if having made up their minds, cautiously said, "I'm not good at fighting, you've got the wrong person..."

"Huh? But you just... and now you're telling me you don't know martial arts?"

"That is……"

Xiao Mu wanted to say that it was Metis who did it... This wasn't a skill that two personalities could share, just like her guitar skills couldn't be shared with Metis.

However, the situation is very complicated, and it is impossible for Wakaba Mutsuki to explain it with his clumsy mouth.

Igomachi Music Awards: 092 I want to see the full song, please.

How to do?

These three words filled Ruoye Mu's mind.

If I can't explain it clearly, Jingqin, Kawaharaki, and Subaru will definitely think I'm playing them... and then, the relationships that Xiaomo has worked so hard to build will be ruined by me.

That's right, at this moment, Wakaba Mutsu had switched back to her original personality—Metis's login time ended right after she finished demonstrating the Instant Kick, so she couldn't log in for a while.

Metis, do you have any ideas?

I'm sorry, Xiaomu, there's nothing I can do. Besides, our situation is rather unique; even if I explained it to them, they probably wouldn't believe me.

The internal dialogue did nothing to solve the predicament in reality... Just when Wakaba Mutsu was at her wit's end, she suddenly remembered what Aoyama had told her.

"Even if you're not good at verbal communication, your music can still convey emotions."

Then...

When Momoko Wakaba saw the blue guitar that Momoko Kawahara had placed in the corner, she walked over to the guitar and picked it up.

Then, tuning, connecting the cables, and turning on the speakers were all done in one go, resulting in an incredibly difficult guitar solo.

"This, this is my answer..."

After her solo performance, she uttered those words and then never spoke again.

"Huh? What does this mean..."

Completely confused, Jingqin Rencai could only turn to Kawara Momoka for help.

"I think what Ms. Ruoye means is... since you're going to form a band, the first thing to do is to put on a good show. As for practicing martial arts, you can learn it casually in your spare time after the band's performances are on track. Otherwise, it would be neglecting your duties."

Momoka Kawahara offered her own interpretation of Mutsumi Wakaba's actions.

"Red bean paste?"

Jingqin Rencai expressed skepticism about her statement.

At this moment, An and Subaru chimed in, "Mutsu and I have been old friends for many years. No one understands her thoughts better than me! So, I can guarantee with my integrity that what Momoka said is completely consistent with what Mutsu wanted to express through this solo, right, Mutsu?"

But she was also wondering to herself: Didn't she say she couldn't play the guitar when we were outside? How come she can now? Is this kid just pretending to be me?

Ruoye Mutsu didn't actually know what she wanted to express; she was just expressing her feelings on the piano.

Seeing that things seem to be developing in a positive direction, Ruo Yemu naturally wouldn't say anything to undermine them.

“Tomorrow, or the day after, Xiao Mo might be able to teach you something… but, Ms. Kawaharaki is right, the band still needs to prepare for the performance first…” Wakaba Mutsumi hesitated for a moment, then continued, “If the performance isn’t done well, the band will disband…”

"Uh……"

Kawara Momoka's gaze faltered, and the atmosphere in the room seemed to become somewhat heavy.

An and Subaru quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Oh dear, Mu, why are you suddenly saying such things? Our band has only been formed for less than three days. If we were to compare it to a person, we haven't even passed our infancy yet. It's too early to talk about disbanding."

"No... Miss Wakaba is right. If the performance doesn't go well, the band will eventually have to disband."

Kawara no Momoka let out a breath, then turned her gaze to Izana Nina. "Nina, you mentioned before that you wanted to write lyrics for the new song, right? How's it going?"

"Well, I did write something... but I don't want to show it to you yet..."

Despite saying that, Izare Rina still took out her phone and showed the two of them the lyrics she had written.

Nina hadn't studied music theory, so she didn't have the skills to arrange music, but

When it comes to writing lyrics, she has a lot to say, so it's quite easy for her.

Momoka Kawahara took the phone and looked at it with An and Subaru.

"Wow, not bad! It's actually quite well-made..."

An and Subaru exclaimed in admiration.

"Then who will compose the music? Me or Miss Taoxiang?"

"Don't rush that. Once we have the right lyrics, the composition will be quick... Oh, by the way, Ms. Wakaba, would you like to take a look at the song written by Nina? If these words can be set to music and sung well, they might go very well with Ms. Wakaba's guitar."

If Ye Mu stood still in the same spot.

She didn't really want to read lyrics written by anyone other than Takasong Teng, as it made her feel ashamed of her immorality.

But An and Subaru seemed to sense her inner turmoil, so they adopted the demeanor of a "second-generation star leader," walked over, put their arms around Ruoye Mutsu's shoulders, and pulled her over.

"It's just a glance at the lyrics, don't act like you're doing something you can't turn back from... I think Nina would also mind if Mutsumi saw the lyrics she wrote, right?"

"Of course!" Izare Jinna agreed readily. In her eyes, Wakaba Mutsu was practically a chivalrous figure, almost second only to Kawara Momoka in idol status. Moreover, Mutsu wasn't as unreliable as Momoka, so she didn't care at all if Mutsu saw her lyrics.

With a sense of curiosity, Wakaba Mutsu began reading the text on her phone.

This……

Wakaba Mutsu felt a strong wind blowing through his heart.

Although the lyrics are different from those of Xiaodeng, they both demonstrate the power of a shout and seem to express one's own feelings.

Unlike the other four members of Crychic back then, Mutsumi Wakaba's upbringing instilled in her a deep-seated impulse to rebel and defy.

Crychic's presence filled the void of warmth in her family, but it did not give her the mental strength to rebel against the cold family life or to resist being forced to conform to others' "expectations" as the successor to a famous actor.

And this spiritual strength seems to exist in these lyrics.

In a daze, she had already set the lyrics to the music she thought was suitable.

I must admit, she likes this song.

"How was it?" Anhe Subaru tilted his head, looking at her with a smug smile. "Isn't our lead singer very talented?"

"Subaru, what are you saying? How can you say such things in front of Wakaba-san?"

Jing Qinrencai became shy, blushing as she tried to snatch her phone back.

"It will be a good song."

When Ruoye Muku suddenly said this, she turned her head sharply and looked directly at Iori Rina.

"I want to see the complete song, please..."

"Eh?" Izare Nina opened her mouth in surprise, but then looked disappointed. "But I can't compose music... Miss Wakaba should ask Momoka or Subaru for help with this."

"Who says you can't compose music if you don't understand music theory?"

A slight smile appeared on Momoka Kawahara's lips. "Don't underestimate the power of technological development."

"Huh? Is there technology now that allows people who don't understand music theory to compose music? Technology is amazing!"

The eyes of the celery bean sprouts lit up.

“I’ll teach you in a bit…” Kawara Momoka agreed with a smile, then looked at Wakaba Mutsumi and changed the subject, “Since Miss Wakaba likes Nina’s songs so much, why don’t you stay and sing with her?”

Ruoye Mutsu hesitated, worried that joining another band would anger Toyokawa Shoko.
