"My situation is similar to Xiangzi's; I also left the team."
Although leaving the team wasn't a good memory, and she understood why everyone avoided it, Momoka Kawahara disliked the atmosphere even more.
She didn't need words of sympathy, concern, or pity.
"DD left the team for personal reasons. As for that Xiangzi from Crychic you mentioned..."
"The reason is hard to say but I'm absolutely certain... it must be a personal reason."
Recalling the night she made the decision to leave the team, Momoka Kawahara bit her dry lips.
Three years ago, these women came to Tokyo from Hokkaido with unwavering determination, impulsive yet innocent, eager to leave their unique mark on this new world.
However, reality is cruel, and business is ruthless; one must choose between ideals and bread.
Whether to make songs you like or cater to the market, the answer has long been self-evident.
It was at that moment that Momoka Kawahara realized that the world is not what you can do.
Reality isn't that easy...
Temporary forbearance can lead to a brighter future.
The temporary sacrifice is worthwhile.
Countless similar words lingered in her mind, threatening to overwhelm her.
Even though she knew that compromise was the only option, she just couldn't lie to her own heart.
"If you can't build a band's career on your own songs, then it's all meaningless."
This is the only unshakable tenet.
In contrast, Momoka Kawaharakawa knew that these were her personal thoughts, and that Nana and the others might not think the same way.
Once they arrived in Tokyo, they had no way out.
"If the band runs into problems again, what will happen to Nana and the others' lives? Are you going to drag others down with you just because of your own ridiculous obsession?"
Carrying the burden of other people's lives
This is a very heavy matter.
She didn't want Rin, Ai, and Nana to be locked away by her.
In the end, Momoka Kawaharaki chose to leave the team, which was actually the best outcome for everyone.
A world where no one gets hurt is achieved.
After reviewing his own emotional journey, mmk might be able to guess some of the reasons why Xiangzi left the team.
The reasons and words that could never be spoken, the personal reasons that forced me to leave the team no matter what...
Perhaps it's for a better future for everyone...
After a moment's thought, she looked at Shiina Tatsuki.
"A person doesn't undergo a dramatic change for no reason. If she must have an unspeakable reason, then the future that reason leads to..."
"It's something none of you can bear."
"An unbearable future..."
Shiina Tatsuki lowered his head, his expression complex.
MMK's pensive expression was something she had seen all along. Could this also reflect that Xiangzi was forced into this situation?
If leaving the band is Xiangzi's only option, then the current situation is the optimal solution.
Shiina Tatsuki gave a wry smile.
"A bitter smile, pursed lips, head shake—it's happened so many times already. So heavy, so very heavy, a sense of déjà vu..."
Chihaya Aine, who was not far away, raised her hand, patted her forehead, and sighed.
This high-pressure environment is terrifying; it's not a place a human could stay in...
Do you want to go to the restroom together?
Just as Chihaya Aine was about to continue to endure, Subaru suddenly appeared from some unknown direction.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Although she really wanted to complain about An and Subaru's unpredictable appearances, she knew that if she didn't escape now, she would be sucked away by the gravitational waves.
When the two arrived at the restroom, An and Subaru's solemn expressions changed first.
"Ah, he's finally alive!"
The heavy pressure disappeared, and after leaving the living room, An and Subaru felt completely refreshed.
"Thank you, Anhe-kun. Anhe-kun is truly an angel!"
"It's not that serious. By the way, you can just call me Subaru. Can I call you Aine?"
Anhe Subaru's lips curved into a beautiful smile, a contented smile blooming on his face.
"Of course! Subaru love!"
The two yang corners successfully completed a name change within one minute.
"It seems we're the same kind of people, Aine."
Anwa Subaru stared at Chihaya Aine's face and sensed a kindred spirit within her.
“I think so too, Subaru.”
Chihaya Aine nodded. Both of them were incredibly skilled at judging people and the reading atmosphere.
"But why does that Takamatsu Akari keep glancing at me? We've only just met! Do you have any clue, Aine?"
Taking advantage of the situation, An and Subaru directly voiced the question that had been hidden in their hearts.
“This isn’t the first time you’ve met…” Ai Yin murmured softly.
"what?"
"No, it's nothing. What I meant was that Tomorin sensed a familiar aura about you, which is why he kept paying attention to you."
"As for why it's a familiar aura, that's obviously because of me!"
Chihaya Aine quickly pointed to herself, her expression solemn.
"Wha, what do you mean?"
An and Subaru didn't understand and didn't get what Chihaya Aine meant.
"Ahem, anyway, it means that characters like us are the type that Tomorin likes."
"Of course, I'm talking about personality, and there's no doubt that I'm definitely Nan Bowan, that kind of character."
Aine's eyes widened instantly, her once gentle gaze now burning like a flame.
She would absolutely not allow anyone else who resembled her to get close to Tomorin.
Just as she doesn't need a second Takasong lamp.
Takamatsu Akari doesn't need a second Chihaya Aine!
Meal replacements? This is absolutely not allowed to be needed.
"Oh, really? I see, Aine."
Looking at the dignified Chihaya Aine, Anwa Subaru felt a little ashamed.
"As expected, I'm still the only normal person here. Even Aine has been tainted by this heavy atmosphere..."
This was An and Subaru's first thought after entering the restroom.
Volume 1: Confusion Together: Chapter 31 Chihaya Aine's High Attack and Defense
"A blank exam paper can lead to chaotic and lengthy thoughts..."
"The so-called answer is probably just common sense in form..."
"I am still me in this life, nothing more."
The guitar swayed slightly with the body, and mmk's ethereal and melodious humming filled the living room.
"Is this the song that Nina has been listening to on repeat?"
Listening to MMK's gentle and peaceful singing, Takamatsu Tou seemed to be immersed in another warm world.
If I had to describe it, it would be like mmk holding her hand, smiling as he led her forward.
"No matter how hard you struggle, there's no tomorrow—"
As the last chord of the mmk guitar faded, the performance of Empty Box came to an end.
"Bang bang bang."
"Bang bang bang."
Two different kinds of applause rang out in the room, and Momoka Kawahara couldn't help but look in the direction from which the sound came.
"Why am I only hearing this song now..."
Shiina Riki bit her lower lip, as if desperately trying to control the surging emotions in her heart, but the force of her clapping grew stronger and stronger.
"You sang so well! And the lyrics were excellent too!"
She lingered over the lyrics of "The Empty Box," and only when she came to her senses did Shiina Tatsuki realize that it was over.
The last song that moved her like this was Haruhi Kage!
She was at a loss for words when it came to praising these great songs; she couldn't think of any professional or sophisticated compliments.
This is exactly how I sing!
Shiina Tatsuki only had this one feeling.
"Well, it's alright."
Momoka Kawara scratched her face, her cheeks slightly flushed.
"It's not that it's bad, mmk-san's songs are just really good, they have an inspiring power!"
Hearing Kawara Momoka's modesty, Izare Nina's face immediately showed displeasure, and she spoke with a serious expression.
"MMK's songs saved me, so they can definitely save others too. Taki might have been touched as well! And that's the meaning of MMK's songs!"
"You rascal, oh well, never mind."
Kawara Momoka glanced at it helplessly, but couldn't help but smile.
Although these words sound a little embarrassing, Nina was able to sincerely and frankly express what she was thinking...
She doesn't hate it.
Seeing the deep affection in their eyes, Subaru, sitting between them, closed his eyes, feeling slightly speechless.
She was debating whether to take a taxi for 60 or 70 yuan tonight or catch the last bus.
"It's about time. If we go back now, we can get home by midnight."
Shiina Riki took out her phone, and the hands on the screen pointed to 8:30.
All good things must come to an end.
As night deepened, it was time for them to leave.
The city lights began to twinkle in the deepening night, like helpless stars struggling in the night sky, further highlighting the profundity of the night.
The group of people walked out of mmk's rented room, their eyes filled with various emotions.
"So what Xiangzi said back then was true..."
Watching Subaru and Nina leave ahead of time, Takamatsu Akari continued to gaze into the distance, as if the girl in her memory was standing right in front of her, within reach of her.
"Why me, Saki-chan?"
"Because the lyrics were written by the author himself, only the author himself can sing them!"
