Li Xi misunderstood her, so be it! Gao Songdeng felt she could accept such a bad reputation.

Seeing that Takamatsu Akari didn't seem inclined to explain, Shiina Tatsuki's suspicions became pretty much confirmed, and if that were indeed the case...

The current Tomori is really terrifying!

To know all this about her, and the secrets in her heart, it would definitely require following her for a very long time. She did meet with her older sister, Maki, about ten days ago...

"Tomori must value me a lot to do this, but I hope she won't do it again. It's not good for either of us."

Gao Songdeng's behavior, in today's popular internet slang, is like "opening a box," and right now, she has absolutely no secrets from Gao Songdeng.

"Lixi has really changed a lot; she's become much more open with herself."

Takamatsu looked at Shiina Tatsuki, knowing that in the past, Tatsuki would never have said such a thing.

"People...after all, they have to grow up. There's nothing wrong with saying these things, right?"

"I suppose this kind of thing just has to be said, Tomori? Anyway, it's wrong to stalk others."

"I... I didn't follow Lixi. It was all a coincidence. Do you believe me, Lixi?"

It was quite a coincidence. Takamatsu Tomo never expected that a trip in the early morning would lead her to Haneoka, then to a 24-hour convenience store, and then to Tachiki, whom she hadn't seen for ten years.

This probability

It's probably about the same as buying lottery tickets, right?

"I believe you, of course I believe Tomori."

Seeing that Takamatsu Akari didn't intend to delve deeper into this topic, Shiina Tatsuki thought for a moment and ultimately gave up asking further questions.

After all, sometimes the answer isn't important, and pressing for an answer only makes things worse for her.

Is this what interpersonal relationships are like for adults?

"I...I would never hurt Lixi. I want...to help Lixi pick up the drumsticks again!"

"After all, isn't drumming what Lixi likes most?"

"I don't think I can still pick up drumsticks and play now."

Shiina Tatsuki closed her eyes and sighed, immediately rejecting Takamatsu Akari's words.

Ten years later, Tomori has matured, becoming more proactive and driven, but she is also naive, as evidenced by what I just told her.

With a childlike sincerity and straightforward desire, Shiina Tatsuki embodies this understanding.

"Are you going to give up without even trying...?"

"This isn't about trying or not trying..."

"Um……"

Shiina Tatsuki instinctively retorted, but upon closer reflection, it seemed... to be exactly the same as what Takamatsu Akari had said.

Regardless of the reasons you want to give to Tomori, using various excuses to justify yourself is essentially giving up without even trying.

"Lixi, I'm here for you now, isn't that... different from before?"

Gao Songdeng walked up to the hesitant girl, her face beaming with smiles.

"I haven't sung properly in about ten years. I might be even worse now than I was ten years ago, but even so, as long as I'm with Lixi and everyone else..."

"I still want to give it a try!"

This mature-looking person has indeed been away from the band's singing environment for ten years, just like Li Xi!

"Tomori, do you... want to find everyone again?"

At this moment, Shiina Riki couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise. As for Takamatsu Akari's idea... she could only say it was very challenging!

"I'd like to give it a try... but of course, I'll have to see what everyone else thinks."

Whether or not to reorganize mygo in this world, Takamatsu Akari's mind was actually in a mess, and she hadn't decided yet.

But at the very least, we can't lose contact, just like she successfully found Xiangzi.

Even a broken mirror can be mended, and Takamatsu Teng earnestly hopes for that!

“Lixi, I don’t think my purpose in finding Lixi is as simple as just rebuilding the band…”

After entering the room, a ten-year timeline unfolds. If Mr. Future is truly watching over her, observing her, what will become of her reunion with Li Xi...?

It must be fate's arrangement!

"I want to bring Lixi's smile back! And the band, playing drums, is a way for Lixi to find happiness again!"

Gao Songdeng gazed at Lixi, who was more than ten years older than before, with a longing smile. Had she properly conveyed her feelings to Lixi?

Long-buried memories were gradually awakened by the girl's words. Shiina Tatsuki's eyes blurred, and her consciousness seemed to return to the past...

The first time Crychic performed on stage was at Kasuga Kage's concert.

That time, she smiled because of Tomori's singing, saw herself, and then cried.

This time, inspired by Tomori's words, she tried to rediscover her original passion and picked up the drumsticks again.

Why did I like Tomori so much ten years ago... and tirelessly want to protect her...?

At this moment, Shiina Tatsuki once again recalled that gradually fading, lost feeling of excitement.

"Tomori, it's so good to... meet you again."

"I think it would be wonderful if I could meet Lixi again!"

As Shiina Riki gazed into Takamatsu Akari's sincere eyes, the ice in her heart began to melt away little by little. She subconsciously noticed the callus that had long since disappeared from the web of her right hand—a mark erased by ten years of time.

Her hands are different now than before.

“But… I’ve completely forgotten how.” Shiina Tatsuki’s voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. “I might even forget the most basic rhythm…”

"It's okay, Lixi!"

“We can start practicing from scratch. Just like... just like we did in the practice room at RiNG.”

Takamatsu suddenly grabbed her hand, and the warm touch sent a shiver through her body.

Memories flooded back. Shiina Tatsuki recalled the cramped practice room in RiNG, Takamatsu Akari's trembling voice due to nervousness, and the days she spent busily adjusting the drumbeats.

At that time, mygo was still in its early stages...

But the air in the training room was always filled with the scent of sweat and hope.

And then there's that pink-haired guy who always annoys her, and that always-smiling, seemingly innocent person... and that elusive stray cat.

Shiina Tatsuki tried to ask herself, did she really not want to reorganize mygo? At least at this moment, she already had the answer in her heart.

Yes, these past ten years... she has never forgotten the band, otherwise how would you explain the numerous livehouse ticket stubs in her rented apartment?

I went to RiNG to watch the new bands perform at the livehouse, and more than once I imagined that the one on stage was the successfully formed mygo...

Tomori continues to inspire every audience member with her singing, allowing each Shiina Tatsuki to... find their own place and shadow.

A very direct and definite thought popped into Shiina Tatsuki's mind.

If she never plays the drums in this lifetime... then it's no different from her being dead!
