Yuji Takamatsu looked thoughtful.
"Family is indeed a complicated thing."
"Life has many tests, but society doesn't have a standardized test for becoming a parent."
Exam scores quantify a person's effort and objectively describe their learning performance. If there were such a so-called "parent exam," how many parents in the world could possibly get a truly good score?
“Nagasaki is right. This is, after all, an internal problem of the Wakaba family. There are many responsibilities that you, an ordinary high school student, cannot bear. All you can do is try your best.”
"So Tomori, you don't need to blame yourself."
"Xiao Mu knows that you care about her so much and want to help her... She must be very happy. Having a friend like you is a blessing for her."
"Changing Mori Minami is not something that can be done overnight, but I think the first thing is to let her understand the current Wakaba-san."
"What does Wakaba like, what is she afraid of, and can she be understood? These are the most important things."
What you like, what you're afraid of, and whether you can be understood—these are the most crucial things...
"Yes, understanding each other comes before understanding each other, right? Tomori, only by spending time with each other day by day can you understand what the other person is thinking and find a way to get along that benefits both of you."
"The process of getting to know each other is difficult, but it is precisely because it is difficult that the understanding and connection that follows are all the more precious, isn't it, Tomori?"
Especially precious... including the past, the journey mygo has taken, and the bonds formed with everyone.
After Yuji Takamatsu said that, it was as if a new world had opened up in Akari Takamatsu's heart.
"Go and find out about Xiao Xiang now... instead of asking about Xiao Xiang's current situation."
Recalling the precious gems of the past is fine, but what is Xiaoxiang thinking now...? What are his thoughts on Ave Mujica? And Hatsuka... what are his true feelings towards everyone...?
Everything suddenly became clear.
You may not have the magic to read minds, but you may do things that do.
Whether it's Xiangzi or Chuhua, everyone harbors secrets as deep and dark as a black abyss.
Removing the armor is difficult, and may even leave your hands stained with blood—a truly shocking sight... but all the suffering is worthwhile for the happiness that everyone can achieve.
"Thank you, Dad. I know what to do."
"It's about time. Tomori, take all this breakfast to everyone. They can't go hungry. You should have your rehearsal and dress rehearsal this afternoon, right? It's good for you to get familiar with the venue."
When it came to breakfast, following her father's instructions, Takamatsu first knocked on Riki's and Lena's door. Soon after, the door opened, revealing the face of a spirited young girl with dark circles under her eyes.
"Ah, Tomori?"
The girl had no idea that her embarrassing moment was being observed up close. She instinctively closed the door, but then realized her behavior was impolite and blushed as she opened the door again.
"I'm sorry, Tomori, I didn't sleep well yesterday... I look so tired."
"Didn't you get enough rest...? Is Lixi nervous?"
"I'm not really nervous, it's just that that guy kept me up all night, so..."
Shiina Riki glanced sideways at the bedside. At that moment, a white figure was curled up on the bed, fast asleep, sleeping much more soundly than Riki herself.
I thought sharing a room with a stray cat would at least make things more peaceful, but it turned out to be completely different...
He was constantly questioned about what happened with Tomori, tricked into buying her a matcha parfait, and then, while sleeping, he would grope her and treat her like a giant body pillow all night...
If I were to write it down in a notebook, I could probably describe it to an extent that it would be impossible to list everything.
"Don't worry about me, Tomori. As long as you're not nervous, I can keep up with your performance!"
"How can you not rest... Lenai really did something wrong!"
Takamatsu placed part of the breakfast she was holding on the table with a serious expression.
"Lixi, why don't you sleep in my room? You should be fine sleeping with Su Shi, right?"
Ai Yin was on the sofa, and there was an empty spot on the bed. Compared to the hyperactive Le Nai that Li Xi described, Su Shi was much quieter when she slept!
"Eh, is that okay? What if Suze wakes up and the first thing she sees isn't Tomori..."
"It's okay... Lixi!"
Takamatsu Akari took the black-haired girl's hand and led her to the next room.
"Alright then, I just hope that guy doesn't attack me when he wakes up."
After all, it's like a cuckoo taking over someone else's nest. Anyone would be surprised to wake up to a different person next to them!
Volume 2 continues my go!: Chapter 176: I will definitely help Xiao Xiang achieve his goal!
The first day of the music festival, at the venue, in the afternoon, at 5:30 pm.
As dusk fell, the trees in the venue rustled in the gentle breeze. The band members, filled with excitement and nervousness, rehearsed their routine, eagerly anticipating the official performance.
"Hey, aren't we performing on that big stage?!"
Holding a green guitar, Chihaya Aine gazed longingly at the main stage in the distance.
"It's impossible no matter how you look at it, but it's already pretty good that we, as a student band, were able to secure such a small stage."
Shiina Tatsuki, while playing the drums, answered the guitarist's question with a speechless expression.
"As long as there is one audience member willing to watch our performance, the show is worthwhile."
The bassist smiled and strummed two deep bass notes.
"Besides, it's not a bad thing to end it early. We can watch Kita and the others' performance at 5:30, followed by Nina and the others' performance at 7:30."
"But has everyone seen the new poster released by the organizers today?"
"The last show at 9:30 pm has an extra headlining band."
"I suddenly remembered the new poster I saw at the hotel reception after I woke up today," Shiina Tatsuki said.
"The headlining band must be really amazing to be the last one. Let's go check them out. We're already here, so we're not just performers, we're also audience members!"
Music festivals are essentially a celebration for bands and audiences alike. It's a bigger stage where, by watching other bands perform, they can roughly understand the difference between current mygo bands and professional bands!
"The headlining band..."
Takamatsu can be absolutely certain that the headlining band is Ave Mujica.
Xiangzi hadn't played in a band for a long time, but when he performed again... Gao Songdeng never expected to become an audience member.
Crowd.
The lead singer on stage was no longer her, but Chu Hua.
"Tomori! Do your best! Try to steal the audience away from the main venue!"
Below the stage, outside the fence, the members of the Thornless and Thornless Band appeared. Standing at the front, Izanagi shouted loudly, her face filled with high fighting spirit.
"I'll support Tomori! Pochi-chan, Ryo, and Nijika-senpai will too!"
The girls' support kept reaching Takamatsu Akari's ears, and the images of Shoko and Ave Mujica flashed through her mind before quickly disappearing.
As far as the eye could see, there were Kita and Nina who had come to support Mygo...
This performance must not disappoint everyone and the audience who support us.
The show is about to begin, and the stage crew is ready, but the unique features of mygo are just beginning.
It's not just about playing beautiful music for the audience, but about conveying what's in my heart and the unique meaning that belongs to mygo.
Takamatsu's throat bobbed, and his eyes no longer held any trace of melancholy.
"Hello everyone... We are the band mygo, from Ikebukuro, Tokyo. As you can see... we are just an ordinary student band."
"Although our band has only been together for almost two months, we have already experienced... many breakups."
"Confusion, fear, and the fear of getting hurt cause everyone to stagnate..."
"The shadows of the past still haunt me, but they are the medals I wear for enduring the pain, and I will no longer run away from them!"
Gao Songdeng's voice grew louder as he spoke, attracting the attention of many passersby.
Is there a poetry recitation segment before the band's performance?
I don't know if Xiangzi is watching right now, or if he has noticed that the Mygo band has also arrived, but the truth in my heart... must be said now!
"I don't know where the road ahead leads, but I will move forward with this uncertainty. I am, everyone at mygo is, and I hope so too..."
"The same to you!"
The moment the words "You too" were uttered, the scattered audience members gasped in surprise. It was clearly a heartfelt expression directed at someone!
"Little lamp..."
The observant bassist immediately understood the implication behind the adorable lead singer's words: Could it be that Xiangzi was in the audience at that moment?
"The first song we're going to perform for you now..."
"The Starry Night Cry!"
There was no time to think, the staff backstage began to coordinate, and Nagasaki Motoyo could only put her doubts aside for the time being, the performance was the priority!
As Takamatsu Akari and Nagasaki Motoyo had predicted, behind a tent somewhere near the sparse audience stood Toyokawa Shoko in casual clothes and Misumi Hatsuka.
"..."
Toyokawa Shoko leaned against the tent, her face flushed, recounting everything Takamatsu Akari had just said…
She heard every single word.
"Xiao Xiang, why don't we go back first? After all, the performance is about to start soon."
A hint of sadness flashed in Misaka Chuka's eyes, but she quickly concealed it well.
Back then, Xiao Xiang was extremely tough on Xiao Deng, almost to the point of disliking her. But now, Xiao Xiang's attitude and behavior are completely different from what he said before.
There is actually only one answer: Xiangzi still misses the old Crychic, and Xiaodeng is still the person Xiangzi longs for.
But...she should be the lead singer of Xiangzi Band now!
Resentment, jealousy, and grievances rose in Misaka Chuka's heart, but what remained unchanged was her smiling face.
"Listen to it again, Chuhua, at least listen to this one."
"Xiao Xiang... you still miss Xiao Deng, don't you?"
The blonde girl lowered the brim of her hat, but a hint of bitterness appeared on her lips.
"I think... if Xiaoxiang really cares about Xiaodeng, then why can't he make up with her?"
Xiao Xiang's actions and words are too contradictory; continuing like this will only torment her.
"This...this is absolutely unacceptable!"
Mikawa Hatsuka's words were quickly and fiercely refuted by Toyokawa Shoko.
"is it not OK?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Chu Hua, I lost my composure... It was my fault. Let's go back."
"Okay, it's alright, let's go back."
Sanjiao Chuhua shook her head, said nothing more, and took the lead in walking away. In the instant she turned around, her feigned expression turned forlorn.
“Ave Mujica was originally intended to be established by Xiaoxiang in the future, but Xiaoxiang has never said why Ave Mujica was established or what its motivation was.”
We know the future, but not all of it.
Chu Hua had a rough idea of the reason for the triangle, but she didn't dare to think about it further, because delving into it might really make her feel sad and heartbroken.
"Xiao Xiang."
Sanjiao Chuhua spoke up and turned around at the same time.
"What's wrong Chuhua?"
The blue-haired girl was puzzled, her face filled with doubt, when she met Chu Hua's smiling purple eyes.
"Xiao Xiang, I... will help you fulfill your wish. I'll help you overcome all the difficulties, including building Mujica..."
"As Xiao Xiang's friend."
"Chuhua..."
Toyokawa Shoko was slightly taken aback, wanting to say something but ultimately unable to utter a word.
