"Yes, and Ms. Minami called Mutsu a 'monster,' and in her tone, besides indifference, there was also resentment... and even jealousy."

Nagasaki Motoyo held her chin, the 'truth' revealed in the conversation between Mori Minami and them just now flashing through her mind.

Takamatsu Akari paused, recalling the expression on Mori Minami's face when she mentioned Komu—that complex look certainly didn't seem like simple disgust.

"Su Shi, are you saying... she's actually afraid of Xiao Mu?"

“Perhaps.” Nagasaki Motoyo sighed. “Mumu has been able to perform perfectly since she was little, but her mother, who is an actress, may be outshone by her own daughter… She can’t accept this, so she uses ‘monster’ to negate Mumu.”

Gao Songdeng was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "But this is too unfair to Xiao Mu..."

“Yes.” Nagasaki Motoyo smiled wryly. “I have to say, adults are sometimes much more fragile than we imagine.”

Sometimes at home, a mother who has worked hard all day still needs to draw on her energy!

"Even so, I still don't think Ms. Minami is a good mother..."

Vulnerability is not an excuse; Takamatsu Akari would never admit to that about Mori Minami and Komu.

“Yes, Su Shi is right. I’ve thought it through. But next… the Mygo band needs to start preparing for their performance at the Grassland Music Festival.”

As planned, they went to Xiaomu's home to negotiate. Although the result was not good, they were able to determine the next steps.

"After the music festival, it's time to talk to Xiao Xiang about everything!"

After leaving the park, night fell, and Takamatsu returned home. The sky was filled with stars, looking very beautiful.

Back in the bedroom, Takamatsu Akari sat at her desk.

How should we communicate with Xiangzi? How should we communicate with Xiangzi correctly? Not by arguing or debating, but by deeply... confronting our inner selves.

Is Xiangzi happy now that he left Crychic? Is Xiangzi happy now that he's formed Ave Mujica with new members?

The night was quiet, and only the small desk lamp emitting a soft, warm light illuminated Gao Songdeng's face.

She remained silent, took out the sticky notes she had bought that day from her schoolbag, and didn't make any further moves for a long time.

The sticky notes come in pink, blue, red, and yellow.

Gao Songdeng tore open the brand-new packaging bag and picked up the pen.

"I don't want to lose the day I met Xiaoxiang."

"Xiao Xiang brought appearances to things that cannot be described."

"I have so many things I want to convey, but I can't convey them to Xiaoxiang."

"I want to tell Xiaoxiang that we should search for visible happiness together with Xiangzi."

One sheet after another, written and revised, revised and written.

Just thinking about Xiangzi caused Gao Songdeng's heart to surge with emotion, and those beautiful memories replayed in his mind.

"Xiao Xiang, are you happy now?"

After writing this sentence on the last yellow sticky note, Takamatsu Akari paused and didn't tear it off.

"As long as I'm still in Yuqiu, as long as I can still see Xiaoxiang, then I must do it."

She kept putting up sticky notes, hoping Xiangzi would respond positively. But if even sticky notes couldn't convey her feelings to Xiangzi's heart...

Even if it means confronting Xiangzi and having a more intense conflict with him... Gao Songdeng is willing to do anything!

The next day, at the lockers on the first floor of the teaching building at Haneoka Girls' Academy.

Taking out a pink sticky note from her schoolbag, Takamatsu Akari hesitated for a moment before finally opening Toyokawa Shoko's locker.

Xiangzi's white shoes lay quietly inside, indicating that Xiangzi had not yet arrived at school.

.

"boom."

Takamatsu Akari stuck the sticky note on her face with a determined expression, then turned and went upstairs. A little while later, the light blue-haired girl arrived late, her face still showing signs of sleepiness from staying up all night.

"So that music festival... was it a warm-up for Ave Mujica's debut?"

She had previously communicated with Hatsuka and the agency, and unexpectedly, Ave Mujica's debut plan went very smoothly. Next week, their band will be performing on stage!

"The music for Ave Mujica is finished. I'll be a bit busy these next few days."

Shoko Toyokawa pondered for a moment, then opened her locker, but what immediately caught her eye was not shoes, but a... pink sticky note.

The handwriting was neat and tidy, showing the author's seriousness and care. As soon as Toyokawa Shoko tore off the sticky note, the image of Takamatsu Akari flashed through her mind.

"I don't want to lose the day I met Xiaoxiang."

Toyokawa Shoko gripped the corner of the sticky note tightly with her right hand, her expression serious.

"Why did you write this kind of thing for me, Tomori?"

Toyokawa Shoko's first emotion was anger, and she wanted to crumple the sticky note into a ball and throw it away immediately. However, her movements slowed down. After much deliberation, she smoothed out the sticky note and put it in her pocket.

"I can't think about them anymore. Anyway, they're no longer my concern. All I have now is Ave Mujica."

What is the point of striving in life if not to prove oneself and to believe that one is not wrong?

With an aura that kept strangers at bay, she returned to her seat, but inexplicably took out the green rhinoceros beetle notebook.

"..."

Toyokawa Shoko stopped what she was doing, opened the rhinoceros beetle notebook, took out a pink sticky note from her pocket, hesitated for a long time, and finally put the sticky note away...

It was pasted on.

"In short, if we're going to have a music festival performance next week, we'll need at least two original pieces."

The song "ave mujica," named after the band, is nearing completion in the last two days, and the work being done with Chu Hua is not enough to make it a worthy headliner for the music festival.

We must make sure that all the audience members present are completely immersed in the world of ave mujica!

"Bury the past, today is the day of rebirth for Ave Mujica..."

Only Ave Mujica can bring her a new life!

With this in mind, Toyokawa Shoko's face turned cold, and she picked up her pen to begin planning the composition, her inspiration flowing instantly.

The pen tip traced sharp lines on the staff, the ink almost penetrating the paper. Xiangzi was focused on composing her new song, but certain melodies she had deliberately forgotten kept resurfacing at inopportune moments.

"I don't want to lose the day I met Xiaoxiang."

I was just writing about everything related to the music when, for some reason, a sentence written on a sticky note by Takamatsu Akira flashed through my mind.

"Damn it..."

Suddenly, Toyokawa Shoko tore the paper, the crisp sound of breaking pencil lead echoing clearly in the classroom. The other students looked at this classmate, whom they had never met before, with astonishment, wondering what had happened to her.

Meanwhile, in the classroom next door, Takamatsu Akari was being questioned by Aine about the outcome of their trip to Komugi's house yesterday.

"So, did you succeed yesterday, Tomorin?"

Chihaya Aine stood straight beside Takamatsu Akari's seat, her hands clasped behind her back, and asked with a smile.

"It wasn't successful, but I learned more about Xiao Mu, and now I have to face Xiao Xiang..."

Takamatsu stopped wiping the stone and answered Aine's question.

With Takamatsu Akari's subsequent narration, the pink-haired girl roughly understood everything that had happened to them at Wakaba Mutsumi's house the day before.

"Is this really the kind of person Mori Minami-chan? I used to really like the fashion ads she did!"

Chihaya Aine pouted, looking displeased.

"That poor Xiao Mu is so pitiful!"

"That's why we need to find Xiao Xiang... because Xiao Mu is concerned about Xiao Xiang, and only Xiao Xiang can give Xiao Mu more help."

"But Aine, mygo is also very important. How have you been practicing these past few days?"

It's been a while since we practiced together, and Aine isn't here... I wonder how things are going with Riki?

"Practice, haha, it's the same as always. Li Xi keeps telling me that I've long since developed a very good mindset."

In short, she can now play quite a few songs, and she can even play the rhythm guitar of "Lun Fu Yu" perfectly!

"A band-aid for Aiyin."

Suddenly remembering something, Takamatsu opened the pencil case next to her, revealing many colorful penguin bandages.

"Aine, you must take good care of your hands. Aine's hands are very precious to mygo."

Takamatsu smiled and placed one of the green penguin bandages in the girl's palm.

Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 172: The four bands finally meet?

In the afternoon, after school, Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine went to RiNG and arrived at the training room early.

Although they arrived much earlier than before, Li Xi and Le Nai arrived even earlier, and Su Shi arrived two minutes later.

They definitely need to have a more serious discussion about matters related to the music festival.

"The music festival is just around the corner, and today is Friday."

The full name of the grassland music festival is Summer Grassland Music Festival.

This is a large-scale open-air rock music festival for independent bands and emerging artists. Compared to medium-sized livehouses like RiNG, it is more of a professional-level performance stage, providing bands with an important opportunity for exposure.

According to Shiina Tatsuki, in previous years, some outstanding bands who participated in this music festival were noticed by talent agencies, eventually making their commercial debuts and even becoming popular throughout Tokyo.

Of course, this is a very small number of bands, and therefore, each of them must be extremely careful.

"After these past few days of grueling training, you should be fine now, right?"

Shiina Riki stood up from the chair and spoke to Chihaya Aine.

These days, Ai Yin is her main focus. Open-air music festivals are not the same as livehouses, so there must be no accidents during the performance!

"And you, stray cat, when you go on stage to perform, you must listen to my instructions."

For some reason, Shiina Tatsuki had a feeling that something was going to happen to the two of them.

"Matcha Buffy."

"Okay, two drinks are enough, provided the music festival is a success."

"Has Riki gotten used to playing the role of someone who loses money to avoid trouble?"

"Why don't you come? I think that would be fine too."

"Okay, then I'll take care of feeding Rana the matcha-flavored candy."

The two chatted and joked, dissolving the rather serious atmosphere in the training room.

"In short, everyone, we need to get all five of our pieces done."

"Walking with the Blue Sky"

The Starry Night

Nameless

"Lost Day"

Wheel of Rain

The number of poems could not be calculated because everyone was performing impromptu back then, and a live band performance only lasted about fifteen to twenty minutes, so not a minute could be wasted.

"As expected of... Lixi, she arranged everything perfectly."

From the moment we left until now, Gao Songdeng has been quietly listening to Li Xi's instructions in the training room.

"Well, Tomori, I'm the drummer in the band, so it's only right that I conduct as well."

The black-haired girl blushed slightly upon being praised by Takamatsu.

Similarly, Takamatsu was also a little excited; this outdoor live performance was finally happening, something she had been longing for.

The thought of having a larger audience than RiNG at the music festival made her heart race.

For her own sake, and for the audience who will come to see her live...mygo needs to keep practicing!
