"It's not convenient to pry into someone's privacy or ask questions in the practice room because everyone is there, but what if it's at home? Or my home?"

Motoyo Nagasaki thought her idea was really good.

Invite Aine to visit your home, and at the same time, gradually uncover the story of how Aine and the lamp met, ideally so that Aine can directly reveal some key information during this process...

Even without any crucial information, a conversation is enough.

Motoyo Nagasaki also believed that she could deduce the answer by following the clues.

"Aine, so what if what you cut out is black? I'm not going to sit here and wait to die."

She confidently raised her face again, her expression no longer showing any sign of frustration.

And what about Li Xi beside her at this moment?

Sorry, it's no longer needed.

The two continued walking towards RING, while Nagasaki Motoyo had already envisioned her successful control of the band's future.

Book One: Confusion Together: Chapter Thirty-Seven - Loneliness, Guitar, and the Blue Planet

Nighttime, Takamatsu's house, bedroom.

On the cramped single bed, the gray-haired girl covered her petite body with a quilt, and some fragmented singing occasionally drifted out from the gaps.

"Stop saying self-deprecating or self-deprecating things..."

"You don't really want to keep talking like this, do you?"

So lift your head up! (Lyrics from "Walking with the Blue Sky")

Even with the sound absorbed by the heavy quilts, Gao Songdeng's singing was like a clear bird song, ethereal yet dynamic—the room's environment didn't affect it at all.

It doesn't affect her performance.

"Hmm, is it already this late?"

A small head suddenly popped out from under the covers. Takamatsu looked at the clock above her head; it was 9:30.

Only then did she realize that she was covered in sweat without even noticing; she had overdone it a bit!

"I wonder how Aine, Sue, and Lixi are getting along?"

In the darkness, Gao Songdeng took out her phone and looked down at the group chat of the four people. The faint light from the phone illuminated her face, and she smiled with relief.

"Oh right, thinking about it, it seems like I haven't been in touch with Kita for a long time."

"Although it's only been two weeks since we last met, I went to see Nina last week... No, I can't neglect Kita!"

Looking back on how busy he had been with his own things these past few days, Gao Songdeng felt a pang of self-reproach.

Kita is also a good friend she acknowledges, and she can't let her good friend be sad!

"Hmm, what should we do?"

Thinking it over, she opened a three-person group chat that hadn't been used in a long time.

Go to Shimokitazawa? That's unlikely; the band needs time to train now that it's formed.

Should we bring Kita here? That's not a good idea either; Kita should have his own life too.

Thinking about what to do, Gao Songdeng suddenly found himself in a dilemma.

"I can't give up, I can't give up, no, I don't want to lose Kita and Nina."

Aine, Riki, and Suze are her companions, and Kita and Nina are her heart-to-heart companions; they are all equally important.

"Then let's make a video call!"

Finally, Takamatsu Akari clicked on Kita's profile picture.

"Dudududu——"

With a tense expression, Gao Songdeng stared at the black screen of his phone, his eyes darting around like a frightened deer.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the street, at the Xi family's home.

"The sudden evening rain made me so fed up with not having an umbrella. What does the sky's mood have to do with me?" (Lyrics by Guitar, Loneliness and Blue Planet)

A cheerful, energetic voice rang out from the young girl's throat, echoing throughout the bedroom, while in her hands, a crisp blue guitar was continuously playing chords.

"Not enough, not enough, I haven't... um, I forgot my lines..."

The singing stopped, and the chords in her hands went awry. Kita Ikuyo stopped what she was doing in frustration.

"Sigh, we have to perform on stage the day after tomorrow. I wonder if Senior Xingge will let us pass?"

Looking back on the past few days, Kita Ikuyo felt like she was dreaming.

"I've actually started preparing for a live performance."

"Tomorin was absolutely right. I've returned to the Starry Sky and become teammates with my beloved Yamada Ryo-senpai again, as well as the beautiful and kind-hearted Nijika-senpai..."

He thought he would never cross paths with his two predecessors again and would spend the rest of his life in regret, but Boqi-chan unexpectedly brought him back to the scene of the accident.

Fate is truly a wonderful thing!

"Let's take a break for now. You can't get fat in one bite."

Picking up her phone from the sofa, Kita Ikuyo turned on the screen, intending to watch some entertainment videos.

"Dudududu——"

The video call on LINE lit up instantly, and the caller's name was displayed as—

"Tomorin?!!"

Kita Ikuyo gasped in surprise, momentarily stunned.

"Huh? Why did Tomorin suddenly make a video call?"

For a moment she panicked and didn't immediately click to accept the request.

Generally speaking, Line prefers to communicate via messages and will not make phone calls unless it is something important or urgent.

"Is there something important, Tomorin?"

Kita Ikuyo's expression gradually became serious.

Although she hadn't been in contact with Takamatsu for two weeks, it didn't mean she didn't care about Tomorin. In fact, she was planning to invite Tomorin to her live performance in two days!

That was her first live performance ever!

"Moximoxi? Tomorin-chan?"

After getting ready, Kita Ikuyo clicked the green call button.

"Kita, Kita!"

At home in Takamatsu, looking at the red-haired girl on the other side of the screen, Takamatsu Akari showed a relieved expression.

"What's wrong, Tomorin? Hey, why can't I see you? It's so dark over there."

After opening the call, Takamatsu Akari's screen remained completely black, Kita Ikuyo said with some confusion.

"Ah, I'm sorry, Kita. I was practicing singing and forgot to turn on the light."

Only after Kita pointed it out did she realize that she hadn't turned on the lights, and the bedroom was still dimly lit.

"Practicing singing? Has Tomorin's band started performing again?"

Upon hearing the keyword, Kita Ikuyo happily waved her hand.

"Yes, yes, together with Aine and the others, we formed a new band."

A faint blush instantly appeared on Gao Songdeng's ears.

"Thank you so much, Kita-chan. Without Kita-chan's encouragement and help, I... I should have..."

She always remembered the day the three of them met, including the gatherings that followed.

"No need to say such cheesy things, Tomorin, although I'm certainly happy to hear you say that!"

Watching Takamatsu Akari wriggle like a little penguin, Kita Ikuyo felt all her tension and anxiety vanish instantly.

"But I didn't actually do anything; it was all Tomorin's own hard work."

Kita Ikuyo was telling the truth.

All told, the three lead singers had only met twice, and their exchanges were limited to information about the future. They could even be said to know nothing about each other.

"And I also dreamed about Xiaodeng's memories a few days ago, but they were probably memories from the past, right?"

"I saw Xiaodeng contact Aine, Lixi, and that girl named Nagasaki Motoyo on her own."

With a smile, Kita Ikuyo winked playfully.

"Hey, Kita-chan, you saw it all?" Takamatsu Akari asked.

"Of course! Didn't we say before that the memories we have in our dreams can be recalled? Tomorin, you're so silly, you forgot so quickly?"

"Oh, I remember now, I really forgot, thanks for reminding me, Kita-chan."

Takamatsu Akari touched her hair shyly, looking embarrassed.

"Is Tomorin coming? To see my live performance?"

"Um, is it...okay?"

Hearing Kita Ikuyo's invitation, Takamatsu Akari looked flattered.

"Of course! See you there, Little Lamp!"

"Ah, um, okay, I'll go, Kita-chan!"

As if infected by the sunny girl on the other side of the screen, Takamatsu Akari slightly raised her little fist and smiled.

Book One: Confusion Together - Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Band in Trouble?!

"Kita-chan! Kita-chan! Kita-chan!"

“Nijika? Kita-chan went again. I brought the incense I hadn’t finished burning before.”

"Damn! Kita just fainted, he didn't really leave."

Now! ”

Shouts came from all around him, and Gao Songdeng found it noisy.

"Hmm...where am I?"

Opening his still-drowsy eyes, Gao Songdeng looked around and discovered that three pairs of eyes of different colors were staring at him.

"Poke-chan, Ryo-senpai, Nijika-senpai..."

Without thinking, the nickname slipped out of his mouth. Looking at the three people with concerned expressions, Takamatsu Akari slowly got up from the table.

"Is this Kita's future?"

Having learned from her previous experience of becoming Nina, she reacted quickly to the situation this time.

She turned into Kita!

"So, is it the stubborn Kita type today, or the Kita type like Pochi-chan?"

A gentle voice rang out from ahead, spoken by a girl named Ichiji Nijika.

Upon hearing Hongxia's words, Takamatsu Akari couldn't help but show a very confused expression.

What does it mean to be a stubborn Kita and a Kita like Pochi-chan?

"Looks like this time it's Kita, just like Pochi-chan."

Seeing Takamatsu Akari's reaction, Ichiji Nijika just smiled lightly and then pushed Takamatsu Akari up, an action that left Takamatsu Akari completely at a loss.

"Eh, don't you remember what happened before? Well, that makes sense. This form of Kita really looks like Pochi-chan."

"Ryo, you explain this to me. I'm going to help Kita entertain the guests!"

With a friendly smile, Ichiji Nijika quickly walked to the reception desk not far away.
