Mygo, Takamatsu Touma wants to reverse the future

"Although it's a bit troublesome, I feel like I can take Kita, who looks like Pochi, as a subordinate."

Yamada Ryo calmly looked at Takamatsu Akari, and began to make a plan in his mind.

As he approached the seat next to Takamatsu Akari, Yamada Ryo slowly extended his right hand.

"Kita-chan, for just 100 yen, you can get all the current information, and I can also handle after-sales service."

"Huh? 100 yen?"

Hearing Yamada Ryo's words, Takamatsu Akari didn't suspect anything, rummaged through her pockets, and then took out all her change.

"Is this enough for 100 yen, Ryo-senpai?"

"Wow, I never expected Kita to have such strength..."

Seeing the three gleaming 100-yen bills in Takamatsu Akari's hand, Yamada Ryo's eyes lit up, and his large hands began to itch with desire.

"cold--"

Seeing Yamada Ryo's coaxing expression, Ichiji Nijika clenched her fists and then grabbed her in one swift motion.

"I took Ryo to entertain the guests. Pochi-chan, why don't you tell Kita about the current situation?"

"Um, no, okay, Nijika-chan."

A pink-haired girl named Pochi slowly emerged from the trash can, looking at the still bewildered Takamatsu Akari with a worried expression.

"It's Pochi-chan..."

Seeing the familiar pink color, memories of Takamatsu lamps flickered.

The socially awkward Pochi-chan in front of me is Goto-kun, whom I've met before!

"Kita-chan, is there anything else that's bothering you?"

Looking at the somewhat dazed Takamatsu Akari with a look of fear, Goto Ichiri asked tremblingly.

"No, I'm not feeling unwell at all, thank you for your concern, Pochi-chan."

Although she still doesn't understand what future she is in, Gao Songdeng's intuition tells her that Boqi and the others have always been taking care of her.

"Right, it's memories. Yes, I am Kita now. I need to search my memories quickly."

After a few minutes of calm, Takamatsu Akari finally cleared her mind. She was now Kita!

"I was dragged to Shimokitazawa by Bochi, and then I started a band with Ryo-senpai and Nijika-senpai. Everyone is working hard to raise money for tickets for our live performances. Tomorrow is the audition..."

"The review is tomorrow?"

Scenes from Kita's past kept flashing through her mind, and then she found the lyrics to a song called "Loneliness, Guitar, and Blue Planet"! Takamatsu Akari's eyes widened in surprise.

"W-what's wrong, Kita?"

Noticing Takamatsu Akari's constantly changing expressions, Goto Ichiri timidly asked a question.

"Bo, Boqi-chan, are we going to be examined by Hoshika-senpai tomorrow?"

Cold sweat began to break out on his face, and Takamatsu Akira wanted to confirm it quickly.

"Yes, that's right. You just said you wanted me to help you practice guitar for a while after you finished your part-time job..."

As Goto Ichiri continued to observe Kita Ikuyo, who was different from usual, his heart was pounding wildly.

"I really, really don't know what to say about Kita in this form! My god, I can barely say a few words to begin with, and then Nijika assigned me this task..."

Not far away, Yamada Ryo was wiping the table with a calm expression, but his eyes were fixed on Pochi-chan and Takamatsu Akari.

"The melancholic Kita really came at the worst possible time. The audition is tomorrow. Nijika, what do you think we should do?"

"What should I do? I need to think about this carefully..."

Smiling, Nijika Ichiji accepted the drink and handed it to the customer in front of her, her lips curving slightly.

After spending these past few weeks together, Nijika and Ryo discovered a very strange phenomenon in Kita.

Over a period of more than three weeks, Kita-chan underwent three major changes. Including this one, this would be the fourth.

The first time was the melancholic Kita, just like this time. The other two Kitas were super troublesome, sometimes overly enthusiastic, and sometimes suddenly distancing themselves from them. However, the stubborn Kita was much better the second time she appeared.

Kita's transformations were never very long, lasting only a few hours, half a day, or at most a day, so there weren't any major problems. But this time, at this critical juncture...

Ichiji Nijika didn't know how to handle this situation well either.

"Trust Pochi. If two Pochi stay together, they will eventually merge."

After wiping down the last table, Yamada Ryo gave a thumbs up.

"That's something Ryo would say, but two Pochi together, isn't that just a super socially awkward ProMax version of Pochi? And what about Kita-kun?"

"The remaining incense can be used to burn more for Kita."

"..."

Nijika Ichiji suddenly discovers that Ryo Yamada has a talent for being a comedian.

As time passed and night gradually fell, Takamatsu raised her hand to say goodbye to Ryo and Nijika, then turned and followed Bochi ahead.

"Is that a guitar in my hand? Kita is not only the lead singer but also the guitarist in the band. The audition is tomorrow. Can I really do it?"

His expression gradually became worried and serious, and Takamatsu Akari's breathing began to become rapid.

At first, she was happy to see the future because she could form a band with Aine, and she thought it was worth a try.

Then I learned about Su Shi, and my impression of her turned bad again.

It was so hard to build up my confidence...

Takamatsu Akari absolutely does not want to see Kita's most important review go wrong!

Book 1: Confusion Together - Chapter 39: Lyrics are the cries from the heart!

What exactly is "live"?

Frankly speaking, Takamatsu Takamori was unaware of this.

Playing in a band is simply a group of people performing songs together in one place. Since that's the case, the only difference between the venue and the space is a practice room versus a stage.

Is a live performance necessary?

Whether or not they perform live seems to make no difference to them; in fact, Crychic even disbanded because of the live performances.

"Even though everything is pretty much as I expected, everyone is still working hard, still working hard, just to get on the live show."

Whether it's the band members who have ended their careers or Li Xi, everyone is striving for a live performance...

Gao Songdeng could sense that emotion, although she still didn't understand what it was.

"So what does 'live' really mean to me?"

As her consciousness entered Kita's body, she realized that this was the first time she had seriously considered this question, but the test paper was blank and she couldn't find the answer.

"If only Aine were here..."

"No, no, I can't think like that!"

Realizing he had a sudden urge to ask for help, Takamatsu Akari quickly shook his head.

"I can't rely on Aine forever; I have to move forward on my own!"

But how can one move forward on their own?

His thoughts were cut off here, and Gao Songdeng found himself seemingly becoming that pill bug that retreated back into its dark nest, feeling lost and disoriented.

"Kita-chan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?"

Hearing the footsteps behind him disappear, Goto Ichiri immediately turned around and said with a concerned expression.

"I, I'm fine. I'm just afraid that tomorrow's review will be a hindrance."

If it were a song by the band "Blue Sky," Takamatsu Akari might have some confidence, but this is a song by Kita's band!

Even though this may be a dream, it would be disrespectful to Kita if we just dealt with it casually!

"So this is what Kita meant by 'live' in real life..."

Looking annoyed, she really didn't expect that she would end up in her sleep the day before the live show that Kita had mentioned, shortly after she finished chatting with Kita!

"No, no, no, I'm the one who's afraid of dragging Kita and Nijika down, and making Ryou a mess!"

Hearing Kita Ikuyo's dejected words, Goto Ichiri spoke urgently.

"You've seen the lyrics I wrote, Kita. They're... really dark, aren't they? I've always worried they wouldn't suit you..."

With his head bowed, Goto Ichiri looked dejected.

Although Ryo said that it would be very interesting to sing these lyrics with Kita's normal life image, what is Kita's own opinion? What is Kita really thinking?

Goto Ichiri was quite uncertain about the situation.

That's Kita-chan, the invincible sunshine who shines upon the world! Completely different from her dark character, these lyrics probably seem more pretentious to Kita, right?

"I think Boqi-chan's lyrics are amazing! They're just as good as mine..."

"Hey, did Kita write this?"

"Um, no, no, I misspoke..."

Upon hearing Boqi's questioning voice, Takamatsu Akari quickly denied saying anything wrong.

I almost forgot that she's Kita-chan now...

The image of the girl's back on the overpass flashed through his mind, and Takamatsu Akari's face turned serious.

"Someone once told me that lyrics are the cry of the soul, so this must also be the cry of Boqi-chan's soul!"

Those emotions that cannot be expressed in words, those true feelings that have nowhere to be vented...

The lyrics are actually hidden within the lyrics. Whether it's herself, Nina, or Boqi-chan, they all need lyrics.

Because only lyrics can truly reveal their true selves.

"Yes, yes, I see..."

Raising her eyes, Takamatsu suddenly realized why she had to perform live.

"Poch-chan, do you want everyone to hear loneliness, guitar, and the blue planet properly?"

"Yes, I want it!"

Although she didn't know what had changed in Kita, she nodded upon realizing how serious these words were.

"Then I'll trust Poch!"

Takamatsu Akari approached Goto Ichiri with steady, slightly heavy steps.

"W-what do you mean? Kita?"

I'm not playing guitar tomorrow.

"Oh, I see, oh, I see—"

She initially thought it was a trivial request, but after hearing it, she instantly realized its seriousness.

"I... I can't play the guitar."

Gao Songdeng blushed. Besides singing, she really couldn't do anything else. She simply couldn't play the guitar and sing at the same time... If she wanted to perform Lonely Guitar Planet well, she could only sing!

"Are you worried about making a mistake, Kita-chan? But you've been working so hard with me these past few days..."

Goto Ichiri waved her hand frantically. A challenge to play both lead and rhythm guitar simultaneously? How could she possibly do that?! Or maybe she could do it if she risked her life?

"Okay then, I'll stay up all night and study guitar!"

Seeing Boqi's reluctant expression, Takamatsu Akari could only encourage herself.

Now that she has become Kita, she still retains some memories of guitar training in her mind.

If Pochi-chan doesn't want to, then we can't force her.

"I didn't realize learning guitar was so difficult. Ai Yin must have worked really hard for it, right? Li Xi also has to compose music, and putting in a band requires so much effort and dedication..."

"I boasted about constantly moving forward and building a band, but I didn't take the corresponding responsibility and pay the price..."

With a look of regret on his face, Gao Songdeng finally understood.
