"Alright everyone, let's begin practicing!!!"

The mirror in front of them reflected everyone's appearance in the training room. Takamatsu held the microphone tightly, smiling broadly.

……

Time flies, and half a week passed in the blink of an eye. The band members asked for leave from school and embarked on a journey to the suburbs.

To get a feel for the music festival venue in advance, the five members of mygo set off early. Since they were all minors, they needed an adult to accompany them when checking into the hotel.

Yuji Takamatsu ultimately took on this role.

"Hey, Uncle, are you going to give us a ride there?"

The car roared and slowly drove up to the group.

At this moment, seeing the mature middle-aged man appear in his car, Shiina Tatsuki blushed slightly and said.

"Of course, you are still young and need to be accompanied by a guardian to stay in a hotel. Besides, I have always wanted to see Tomorin shine on stage, so I asked the company for a few days off."

Yuji Takamatsu rolled down the car window, grinned, and gestured for everyone to get in the car.

One person sits in the front passenger seat, and the four girls squeeze into the back. That's the only way.

"Um, why isn't everyone getting on the bus? How about one person gets in the passenger seat first?"

Yuji Takamatsu was puzzled, but he saw that no one took a step forward. Instead, they all turned their gazes to their daughter.

"Hmm, it's a long journey, probably taking an hour and a half. I think we should leave the passenger seat to Riki!"

As Chihaya Aine spoke, she moved closer to Takamatsu Akari, her words incredibly considerate to Shiina Tatsuki.

"I don't think I need to rest. You're the one who needs to adjust your condition. I'll feel more at ease if you sit in the passenger seat."

Shiina Tatsuki snorted coldly, utterly speechless.

Pinky's thoughts were practically written all over her face, so how could she not know? She would never let this guy succeed!

"Stop arguing. What if Xiaodeng wants to sit in the passenger seat? What's the point of arguing now?"

Nagasaki Motoyo shook her head at the two of them. When would these two ever mature? At least they could learn from her when it came to Kodama.

"I... want to sit in the passenger seat, stop arguing."

Just then, Kaoruna, who had been observing the bickering, finally spoke up. Unlike the hesitant Aine and Riki, she ran directly to the car door, opened it, and quickly climbed inside.

With that, the debate over the co-pilot position is over, and the issue is resolved!

"It's alright, since everyone wants to sit with me, let's all sit together!"

"I'll sit in the middle."

A crescent moon-like smile curved Gao Songdeng's lips. She reached out, pulling Ai Yin with her left hand and Li Xi with her right.

"What's happening here?"

Looking back at the scene, Yuji Takamatsu was speechless. Why did all of his daughter's friends treat his daughter like this?

Their relationship is a bit too good.

"Oh dear, Little Lamp, what about me? I don't have your hand to hold."

Nagasaki Motoyo had a big smile on her face.

By not competing or vying for anything, things turned out quite differently; Li Xi and Ai Yin actually managed to take their positions away from them...

She won in appearances but lost in substance; wouldn't that make her the ultimate loser?!

“I’m sorry, Su Shi, I really don’t have the time, but…”

Takamatsu looked apologetic, then her expression turned to one of deep thought, and then she came up with a perfect solution.

"It's too cramped for four people to sit in the back, Su Shi... How about this, Su Shi can..."

"Sit on my lap! Is that okay?"

A faint blush rose to Gao Songdeng's face.

It's only been an hour, her legs shouldn't be numb, right? Besides, Su Shi doesn't look like a very heavy girl.

"Eh?"

Nagasaki Motoyo looked surprised, thinking she had misheard.

Sit on Little Lamp's lap?!

She wouldn't mind such close contact in private on ordinary days, but now all five members of Mygo are together, and Uncle Yuji is also here!

This is a bit much, isn't it?

"That won't do, Tomorin. It's more than an hour's drive. Won't your legs go numb if you sit for too long, Tomorin?"

"If it has to be this way, then I think it would be better if I sat on Tomorin's lap. I think my body is in pretty good shape, so I should be a little lighter than Tomorin."

Chihaya Aine patted her chest and made the suggestion with a serious expression.

"Well... what you said does make sense."

Shiina Tatsuki glanced at Nagasaki Motoyo's chest, then at Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine was right, which is rare for her.

"Aiyin, what nonsense are you talking about? What do you mean you'll be lighter than me? Have we ever weighed ourselves and compared our weights?"

Nagasaki Motoyo approached the pink-haired girl with a forced smile.

"Since Xiaodeng said I should sit on her lap, then it can only be me, understand?"

"Well, there's really nothing we can do about it. Everything depends on what Tomorin decides," Chihaya Aine said, spreading her hands.

"It's okay, if it really doesn't work, we can take turns. I think I can handle it."

Gao Songdeng's face was flushed. She opened the right-side car door and gestured for Ai Yin to go in first.

Ai Yin went in first, then Su Shi, and then Li Xi.

The four slowly took their seats. Fortunately, there was just enough space, with each person's shoulders close together and no space left over.

"Never mind, it's only a little over an hour's drive. Tomoiri's health is more important than my personal desires."

Although she couldn't sit next to Tomori and could only lean against the window, Shiina Tatsuki didn't feel too jealous or aggrieved.

The sky outside the car window gradually lost its twilight brightness, and leaden-gray clouds slowly piled up, gradually swallowing the sunlight. On the distant horizon, dusk and haze intertwined, and night fell.

"Everyone, we're almost there." Yuji Takahata gripped the steering wheel, her tone relaxed. "Ready to check into the hotel."

He not only drove along the way but also observed the behavior of his daughter's friends, which was quite interesting.

The white-haired girl in the passenger seat was very restless the whole way, sometimes peering out the window, sometimes picking up decorations from the dashboard, looking very curious about the inside of the car.

A student named Shiina Tatsuki leaned against the car window, her beautiful purple eyes gazing out the window, and there was something...

She possessed the air of a melancholic beauty, though her gaze would occasionally drift back to Tomori.

The brown-haired girl was more reserved and gentle, chatting and laughing with her daughter the whole way. She seemed to be a close friend. Yuji Takamatsu was quite satisfied with Nagasaki Motoyo.

As for Aine? She was quite the character on the way, making all sorts of intimate physical contact with Tomori, and even fell asleep on Tomori's shoulder for half an hour.

After letting the four of them get out of the car one by one, Yuji Takamatsu got out last, then opened the trunk and let everyone take their own musical instruments.

The car eventually pulled into the parking lot of a hotel near the music festival. While they were checking in, the receptionist smiled and handed them the room key, even mentioning mygo's name.

"You're members of the band 'MyGO!!!!!', right? Your names are on the festival's performance list. Welcome to the venue!"

"Huh? Are we that famous?" Chihaya Aine's eyes widened, her tone filled with undisguised surprise.

"It's just a routine check by the staff, don't get carried away." Shiina Ritsuki said calmly, gently poking her shoulder.

A huge poster for the music festival was displayed at the hotel entrance. It's not impossible that the hotel trained its own staff to show its sincerity and courtesy to the band members who came to perform.

After settling in, the five decided to scout out the music festival venue first. Stepping out of the hotel, the sky was already dark, and the distant stage silhouette appeared exceptionally massive against the gray backdrop. Audience areas, booths, and backstage access had already been set up around the stage, and staff were still making adjustments.

And tomorrow, the music festival will officially begin!

“It’s so big…” Gao Songdeng looked up at the stage, his heart racing.

Compared to RiNG's indoor live performances, the space here is almost several times larger. Just imagining the audience filling the stage makes her palms sweat slightly.

"Tomori, are you nervous?" Shiina Ritsuki turned to look at her, her tone gentle.

"Hmm... Lixi, but I'm more looking forward to it."

Gao Songdeng took a deep breath and clenched his fist. "I want more people to hear our voices."

"Definitely! I believe some audience members will be moved by Tomori's singing, just like I was!"

Tomori's singing voice allowed her to witness herself, and I'm sure there will be audiences who can draw strength from mygo's music and find their own anchor!

"Ah! It's Tomori!!!"

Behind Takamatsu Akari, a familiar voice came from behind. She turned around with a smile on her lips and saw Kita waving at them, followed by the other three members of the band who had ended their performance—Pochi-chan, Nijika, and Ryo!

"Kita, you guys... came to scout out the location early too?" Takamatsu Akari greeted him with a smile.

"Yes, after all, the performance is tomorrow, so we need to familiarize ourselves with the venue first."

Kita smiled brightly, his gaze sweeping over the MyGO members before finally settling on Takamatsu Akari's face.

Let's all do our best tomorrow!

"Hmm... Kita too!"

Gao Songdeng nodded, his cheeks slightly flushed.

"But if that's the case, Nina and the others should be arriving soon, right? Both of our bands think so, and Nina and the others must be thinking the same thing, since Kawasaki is the furthest from here!"

Kita Ikuyo raised her hand, looked around, and a minute later she actually saw five familiar figures.

"Nina!!!"

The members of the Thornless and Thornless Band dragged their slow steps, each with a grim expression, as if they had just experienced some major catastrophe.

"Next time, I definitely won't let MMK drive..."

Anwa Subaru looked completely exhausted, leaning on Iori Rina's shoulder, glaring angrily at the gray-haired girl beside him.

"Please, it's not a matter of whether I want to or not. Rupa is tired, isn't she? I'm doing this for everyone's safety, okay?"

"Yeah, there are actually service areas. If Rupa gets tired on the way back, we can just drive into a service area!"

"Nina, you rascal!"

As they bickered, they approached the music festival venue. When Izayoi looked up, she spotted the band Mygo and all the members of the End Band.

Once again, the three bands came together because of this music festival.

"Um, everyone, but aren't we missing a band member? Where's Chu Hua?"

Kita Ikuyo pondered, and finally thought of the fourth lead singer with whom they had some connection, but unfortunately, they had never met Mikami Hatsuka.

"Hatsuka is very busy after all... and Ave Mujica probably wouldn't come to a place like this to perform with their band, right?"

In my memory, Mujica is the most legendary Budokan. Although the Summer Music Festival is indeed quite prestigious, it's definitely not high enough for Hatsuka and her friends, right?

As Takamatsu was pondering this, she spotted a familiar blue color on the outskirts of the concert hall…

It's Xiangzi!!!

Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 173 Jingqinrencai vehemently criticizes Mujica

In the distance, a brown van was parked quietly. Five girls, whose figures were vaguely discernible, stepped out of the van and walked towards a nearby hotel. Takamatsu only glanced at them, but Xiangzi's figure was etched into his mind and would never be forgotten.

"Tomorin, what did you see?"
