Hachiman Kairin glanced sideways at the petite, adorable girl beside her, who looked like a doll. Having walked for a long time, Wakaba Mutsu was already on the verge of exhaustion.

Moreover, judging from Toyokawa Shoko's resolute posture, she seems to want to escape from Tsuki no Mori as far away as possible.

Hearing Hachiman Kairin's frank reminder, Toyokawa Shoko finally stopped in her tracks, and only then did she realize that Wakaba Mutsumi looked rather unwell.

"I'm sorry, Hachiman-kun, I didn't think it through."

Toyokawa Shoko's expression didn't change much; she simply continued speaking.

"Let's find a place to discuss the formation of Ave Mujica. Hmm... how about this coffee shop up ahead?"

She looked around and then her gaze settled on a coffee shop.

"I think we should listen to Mikado's opinion, Toyokawa-kun."

Hachiman Kairin closed her eyes

He glanced at her, but ignored the blue-haired girl's orders and immediately took action.

As for Toyokawa Shoko, Yawata Kairin is actually quite indifferent to her at the moment, neither good nor bad, but she is quite interested in her past entanglement with Ritsuki.

However, we'll have to talk about these things in the daily life after the band is formed. Right now, she has something to say to Xiangzi, who is like a monarch issuing orders.

"Sangoku-kun, you were the one who invited us to create ave mujica, aren't you going to say anything about it?"

Her clear, bluish-green eyes stared intently at Triangle Chuhua, seeking the explanation and answer she desired.

Based on preconceived notions, Mikado should be the captain, while Toyokawa is just someone who was invited.

"Me? Me? I think it's fine. Xiao Xiang's suggestion is also good. Let's find a coffee shop to relax and discuss the establishment of Ave Mujica."

"..."

Hachiman Kairin frowned slightly, then spoke again.

"So, can I assume that Toyokawa-kun is the future captain of Ave Mujica?"

This isn't a question of whether or not to go to a coffee shop, but rather a question of who has the dominant voice in the band. Judging from Chu Hua's current performance, she doesn't seem like someone who wants to be the leader and take responsibility, yet she's very enthusiastic about forming Ave Mujica.

"I think it would be great for Xiao Xiang to be the captain. Xiao Xiang is capable and has excellent skills. He is definitely the best candidate to be the captain."

Mikasa gave an awkward laugh, which was her way of saying her opinion.

Is it Ave Mujica or some other band name?

Should she be the team leader or should Xiao Xiang be the team leader?

None of that matters, as long as I'm with Xiao Xiang and working together, that's enough.

The four entered the coffee shop. The revolving door at the entrance turned, and they chose a table that was relatively far away from the other customers and sat down one by one.

Toyokawa Shoko waved to the waiter and then ordered four cups of black tea.

Ever since her argument with Takamatsu, her serious, almost sacred, face had remained unchanged, making it difficult for Mitsumi Hatsuka to find a suitable angle to strike up a conversation.

The dim lighting in the café cast varying shadows between the four people. The clinking of porcelain cups against trays produced a crisp sound, and the rising steam from the black tea meandered through the air, blurring Toyokawa Shoko's slightly tense face.

"Chuhua, I remember you said you wanted to form a commercial band, right? Our Ave Mujica is a commercial band."

"That's right, that's correct..."

“Ave Mujica is a good name.”

Toyokawa Shoko used online software to search for the letters "ave mujica" and quickly gained a rudimentary understanding of them.

"Latin, praise, music... Yes, as a band, music is what we focus on from beginning to end."

"Since everyone is willing to trust me, then I will take responsibility for everyone's lives, and I will build the worldview of Ave Mujica."

Whether it was a moment of impulse or a genuine wish, she is now bound to this chariot called Ave Mujica, with no way out.

"So, Hatsuka, Mutsuko, and Hachiman-kun..."

Would you like to form Ave Mujica with me?

There's only one way to completely forget the lingering echoes of Crychic: let Mujica's music fill her present!

As the three gazed into the blue-haired girl's burning, eager eyes, a fiery passion seemed to ignite within them, stirring within them.

"No problem, Xiaoxiang. I can be the lead singer and guitarist in the band. My experience at the agency has helped me a lot." Xiaoxiang shone brightly in front of her, and Misaka Hatsuka said happily.

“Saki…I do.” After hesitating for a moment, Wakaba Mutsu nodded obediently, indicating her agreement. If forming Mujica could make Shoko happy, then she was willing!

As for the last one who wants to show his attitude, it's Hachiman Kairin.

"Carrying the burden of life?"

Hachiman Kairin murmured softly, her memory flashing back as if she had just remembered something.

"How was it, Hachiman-kun?"

"If Toyokawa-kun can live up to his words about a shared destiny and taking responsibility for life, then I will... always be here for you."

It has to be admitted that the nine words "a community of shared destiny" and "bearing the burden of life" were incredibly tempting to her.

I envy Lixi. If I could become Lixi, would she also have a band similar to Mygo?

"Ritsuki, maybe I can finally have a band that I can worry about," Hachiman Kairin thought to herself.

"A promise is a promise, and I will keep it, Hachiman-kun," Toyokawa Shoko said firmly.

“Now that everyone has joined, the rest is…” Toyokawa Shoko pondered for a moment before coming up with the names for the remaining positions.

He's the drummer, the band's drummer.

Her fingertips, holding the teacup, turned slightly white. Upon hearing the word "drummer," Misaka Hatsuka recalled what Takamatsu Akari had said about the future: Yutenji Wakana and Nyanmu would be the drummers of Ave Mujica.

"It seems like a large part of the reason for the disbandment is related to Miaomeng, so why not just not hire Miaomeng as the drummer?"

Thinking of this, the blonde girl immediately smiled and suggested the names of several drummers from the agency.

"Xiao Xiang, you can find a drummer through my agency..."

"Chu Hua, thank you, but I think it's too much trouble for you."

"The last drummer position," Toyokawa Shoko's fingers tapped lightly on the table, the rhythm reflecting her unwavering determination, "I'll choose it myself, everyone, okay?"

Her blue hair gleamed with a cold, hard sheen under the coffee shop lights. At this moment, Toyokawa Shoko was like a king, and no one could refute or question her.

“Ave Mujica is not just a random fan club. We need drummers who can perform at the Budokan.”

She paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone present. "A commercial band should be judged by commercial standards."

"But Xiao Xiang, the drummer at the company's office, I think..."

"Chuhua, do you believe me?" Toyokawa Shoko replied.

"I……"

"Of course I believe you." Misaka Chuka wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

Soon, Toyokawa Shoko finalized all the details regarding the formation and members of ave mujica, acting swiftly and decisively.

As Misaka Hatsuka stepped out of the coffee shop and the glass door closed behind her, she realized that her palms were covered in cold sweat.

The chilly evening breeze swirled fallen leaves past her feet, and she instinctively pulled her coat tighter around herself, but she still felt a chill creep up her spine.

"Why... did it become like this?"

She murmured to herself, her voice fading into the noise of the street.

Xiao Xiang used to have a familiar, beautiful, and gentle smile, but that changed when he met Xiao Deng an hour ago.

Everything changed in an instant.

Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 155 Nina's Parents

Nighttime, Takamatsu's house, Takamatsu Akari's bedroom.

Impressions of Takamatsu Lantern

In Tokyo, the night sky is unusually clear; on ordinary days, the sky always seems to be covered by a layer of hazy fog, making it impossible to see its specific appearance.

Therefore, every clear night sky is a delightful surprise, and we should record it with a telescope to imprint the beautiful memories in our hearts.

She pushed open the glass door to the balcony, and a cool night breeze immediately brushed against her cheeks, carrying away the stuffy air inside, along with her terrible irritability.

It seems that only on the balcony, with the telescope her father bought her, can Gao Songdeng escape from all of reality and find a quiet place to rest.

But even a place of refuge cannot be lived in forever, because the night will end, the stars will hide again, and we will have to close our eyes and open them again, and continue to face the reality of life.

"Band, future, community of shared destiny, happiness."

She took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. At that moment, the stars in the sky seemed to be diamonds scattered by someone, shimmering with a cold light, very serene and beautiful.

Gao Songdeng still remembers that day in the past, when she and Xiangzi shared this sky and created a song that belonged to crychic.

"Spring Shadow".

"With a weary heart and trembling eyes, she is utterly worn out..."

"I am all alone in this world..."

Emotions welled up in my heart. On the deserted balcony, the soft lyrics and melody slowly began to play, and Gao Songdeng's singing voice drifted into the boundless air.

The song is still the same, but everyone is different now. Xiao Xiang, who used to be by her side, has completely left her.

"We shouted there before, Tomori!"

"That was the first time in my life I'd ever done something like that!"

In a daze, Gao Songdeng seemed to hear Xiangzi's past words: Xiao Xiang and her, on the bedroom balcony, observing the sky.

"I'm happy every day, and I look forward to practicing with everyone every day."

"I'm so happy to be able to form Crychic with Tomori and the other five of us!"

In the absence of his sight, Xiangzi smiled, his gentle gaze like the spring sunshine looking ahead, below him the cry of those who wanted to become the bridge of humanity.

Just by gazing at Xiangzi, something inside him seemed to loosen, and a seed began to sprout.

Because of Xiangzi, there is happiness.

Because Xiangzi was happy... she also felt happiness, but such happiness was ultimately like the stars in the night sky, beautiful but short-lived, disappearing into the night.

Takamatsu Akari's eyes trembled, and a great sense of sorrow welled up from within.

Mr. Future said that knowing the future and then returning to reality to change the present is the only way to achieve a happy ending for everyone. But why do we still suffer hurt and pain when we follow Mr. Future's words and try to save Xiao Mu?

In the stillness of the night, when emotions were running high, Gao Songdeng was caught off guard by the sudden and intense emotional backlash, even though she had just comforted Su Shi that afternoon.

Should I have a good cry? To escape, to avoid facing it again, just like in the past…

Or should you grit your teeth and persevere, continuing your proactive efforts to pursue your ideal happiness until you achieve it?

Running away would be unfair to everyone at mygo, and perseverance requires enduring repeated mental trials.

I don't want to choose any of these now, because they're really tiring!

Although reason kept telling me that thinking this way was wrong, such thoughts, like a virus multiplying, would flash through my mind and never leave.

Consciousness and thought are like being trapped in a dead end. The more you think, the heavier the burden on your brain becomes. In this hazy state, Gao Songdeng's eyes are glazed over, and he gradually drifts off to sleep.

"If only I could have a beautiful and happy dream," was Takamatsu's last thought.

However, even in her dreams, this small wish could not be fulfilled. In the alternation of darkness and light, her vision slowly cleared, and when she opened her eyes, she found herself to have become someone else again.

Having transmigrated multiple times, Takamatsu Akari had gotten used to it. She tried to slowly turn over and get out of bed, but unfortunately, her sleeping position was not lying flat at this time.

"Woo——"

With a tremor in his brow, Takamatsu Takayuki, due to a misalignment, fell off his seat and landed heavily on the floor with a crisp sound.

Takamatsu Akari waved her hands in pain and raised her arms, only to realize that she was actually wearing a green shop assistant uniform, and that the uniform seemed to have appeared in her memory before.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

A soft, delicate voice came from outside the curtained door beside him. Takamatsu looked in the direction of the voice and saw two girls wearing masks.

It's Rupa, which has thorns, and Ash!

"Ugh, am I turning into Nina today?"
