"Are we really going to quit?"

Despite feeling extremely uncomfortable and anxious, Gao Songdeng's inability to speak and his sluggish body meant that he could only utter these few words in a flat tone.

"The light is asking you a question! And isn't that a bit irresponsible?"

In the training room, Shiina Tatsuki, sitting behind the drum set, looked displeased. He stood up from his seat and looked sharply in the direction of Shoko.

For Shiina Riki, regardless of the band's level, as long as someone makes a mistake, she will put equal pressure on everyone, and even if the person putting pressure on her is Shoko, she still has to do it.

As Shiina Tatsuki's questioning voice faded, the situation seemed to take an unexpected turn.

But the brown-haired girl had a kind expression, smiled slightly, and silently walked between Xiangzi and Lixi, blocking their view.

"Lixi, don't do this."

According to her plan, she would first subdue Riki, then use gentle words to win over Xiangzi, and finally use a non-coercive approach to get Xiangzi to open up. That would solve the problem. As long as Nagasaki Motoyo was still with Crychic, the band would be fine...

"Why aren't you saying anything? Can't you stop causing trouble for everyone? Today too, everyone has been waiting for you."

But Shiina Riki doesn't care about this or that. If someone touches the light carelessly and makes it unhappy, then they have to accept her art of speaking.

"Taki."

Nagasaki Motoyo turned her head to look at Shiina Tatsuki, her voice dropping a few notches.

"Humph."

Lixi turned her head, closed her eyes, and didn't look at the two of them again. Rather, she wanted to hear what Xiangzi had to say next.

"But you can do it even when I'm not around, right?"

"If you want to practice, why don't you just practice by yourself?"

"Who says we can only practice when everyone is present?"

Please don't blame others.

Xiangzi gripped her left elbow with her right hand, while her icy words filled the training room.

"what?"

Shiina Tatsuki knew she had spoken rudely and wanted to hear Shoko give a suitable reason, such as personal reasons or an unexpected change, so that she would forgive Shoko's recent behavior.

But obviously,

The woman in front of me seemed unwilling to say anything, perfectly fitting the stereotype of someone leaving the band.

Hai Ling once told her, based on her experience playing in more than 30 bands, how a band can be disbanded by one person.

The first step is for someone to stop training; the second step is for them to frequently read messages but not reply or reply randomly; the third step is for them to leave the group chat.

And now, Toyokawa Shoko is in the second step.

That's the current stage. So, doesn't the next step mean disbanding the team?

Shiina Riki wanted to continue refuting, but at that moment, the lamp kneeling on the floor spoke up.

Generally speaking, people only disregard everything and take a gamble when faced with desperate situations or major opportunities.

Clearly, Takamatsu is the former at this moment.

"But without Xiangzi..."

For some reason, Takamatsu Akari keenly sensed certain signs, and the unease of something coming even briefly helped her overcome the physical discomfort caused by fear.

Please don't say such willful things!

"Mingming, you're the one who needs to keep practicing, but what have you been doing all this time?"

Xiangzi's scolding reached Gao Songdeng's ears.

Yes, what has she been doing?

Following Xiangzi's words, Gao Songdeng continued to think, and then her face gradually turned pale. She wasn't singing at that moment; she was practicing.

Thus, Takamatsu Akira came to a conclusion.

So it was all her fault after all.

Xiangzi must have missed the previous live performance, and she must have been angry because she didn't meet the requirements.

The band got into an argument because of him.

His head gradually felt heavy, and his vision became increasingly dizzy. When Takamatsu looked up, he saw that Shoko, Suze, and Riki were already in a chaotic mess, and behind him came the voice of Wakaba Mutsu, who hadn't spoken for a long time.

“I’ve never felt that forming a band is a happy thing.”

As the light blue-clad girl finished speaking, Takamatsu Akari no longer heard the doubts around her, only the booming sound in her ears.

And torrential rain.

Volume 1: Confusion Together: Chapter 2 The Disbanded Girl Won't Encounter the Runaway JK and the Kid Sister

Gao Songdeng felt that life was hellish.

If it wasn't hellish, then why did the audience say she was working too hard?

If it's not hellish, then why does Lixi constantly demand so much of himself?

If it's not hellish, then why would Xiangzi leave him and Crychic?

Gao Songdeng wanted to speak, but found that there was no one around her, only the notebook in her hand.

"Ah, it's already this late..."

Lifting his head off the table, Takamatsu Akari rubbed his sleepy eyes and then locked the door to the Astronomy Department.

The Haneoka Girls' Academy High School is beautiful in the evening. The slanting sunlight bathes the trees in the northwest, casting dappled shadows through the gaps in the leaves.

"I found 'Sunset' today."

Takamatsu walked out of the school gate, clutching the brand-new stone he had found that day.

The band has disbanded, and the original five members will never return, even if Xiangzi is in the class next to his, even if the distance between them is no more than a hundred meters.

Now, Takamatsu felt she couldn't reach Shoko; a thick barrier seemed to separate them. And her other companions—Ritsuki, Mutsu, and Sushi—would never be seen again.

If the mental world of a normal person is a whirlpool that might ripple, then for Gao Songdeng, the mental world is the depths of the starry sky with infinite gravity. Therefore, when Gao Songdeng is in his mental world, ordinary things cannot actively attract or affect his focused thinking.

In this state of flow, Takamatsu Akari had no idea that she had taken the wrong way home. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had actually walked into a small square that resembled a park.

Gao Songdeng's thoughts returned to reality. She found this place very familiar. This park was very much like one of those places in her memories.

Silently, Takamatsu Akari found the swing she remembered and sat down in its place. But something she caught in the corner of her eye suddenly drew her attention.

"These are stones I've never seen before!"

As if he had seen something new and interesting, Gao Songdeng put down his schoolbag and quickly ran to the bushes in front of him.

Full of curiosity, Takamatsu Akari no longer paid attention to the outside world, while a red-haired girl walked slowly toward where she was with a sullen expression.

"Waaaaah, they really did run away after all..."

"I'm so sorry, Ichichi-senpai and Ryo-senpai..."

"I should have been honest with them, I don't know how to play the guitar..."

Kita Ikuyo walked dejectedly into the park path.

Just now, she became a deserter; in order to avoid performing on the livehouse stage, she chose to run away.

Only in this way can the fact that she can't play the guitar be concealed.

Seemingly to escape her inner condemnation, Kita Ikuyo wanders aimlessly around the city.

"Hmm, something seems to be going on over there?"

She looked along the lines under the park's amusement park rides and first saw a girl with dark red hair.

The girl was holding a white ceiling light and looked very cautious.

In front of her was a swing, and next to it stood several strangely dressed boys, doing something unknown.

Kita Ikuyo keenly sensed something was amiss; it smelled of danger…

She swayed from side to side, spotted a patch of grass at a suitable height, and quickly crawled over it. As soon as she turned her head, she saw a girl grinning foolishly at a rock.

"What should we name this stone? Since we found it when we were lost, let's call it 'Lost in the Way'!"

"Ok?"

Takamatsu felt a touch of red in the corner of her eye, so she turned her head curiously and found Kita Ikuyo holding two small twigs.

Wild Kita Ikuyo has appeared!

"what!"

Like a startled rabbit, Takamatsu Akira let out a cry of surprise, which broke the tranquility of the entire park. Several boys near the swings turned around to look at the source of the noise.

But then I saw a rapidly flashing electric fan? (I think?)

"Where did this girl come from? Hey, what do you want?"

The boy in the lead was a little panicked. What was going on with this kid suddenly appearing and waving a lamp around?

"Put down those other people's backpacks!"

Jing Qinrencai's eyes were slightly red, as if she had just cried, but she showed no fear at the moment.

"Whirlwind—" (The sound of an electric fan spinning)

"Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean, someone else's backpack...?"

"Whoa! Boss, run! This kid's gone mad!"

"Ughhhhhh!!"

The boy in the lead looked astonished. Before him was the approaching Hallelujah whirlwind, a sight he had only ever seen when playing a certain hero!

Although there are three of them, the problem is that they have no weapons!

The leading boy was still hesitating, but his capable subordinates had already run away.

"Boss, I'm running first!"

"Hey! You guys!"

Seeing that his men had all run away, the leader of the group no longer had any will to resist and simply threw down the bag he was holding.

After the three men who seemed threatening left, Izayoi's tense expression gradually relaxed, and she put down the overhead lamp in her hand.

Although it looks quite damaged, it still seems usable.

"Subaru-chan's lamp should still work, right..."

Picking up the schoolbag that had been discarded on the ground, she turned around and saw two seemingly unfamiliar figures suddenly appear in front of her.

"what!"

"Eh?"

"Ok?"

Three exclamations rang out simultaneously.

"Takamatsu lamp?"

"Issei Nina?"

"Kita Ikuyo?"

This was the first time the three of them had met, but strangely enough, they were all able to call each other by name.

"Um...thank you."

At this moment, Takamatsu's face was slightly flushed, as if he was a little embarrassed.

"Hmm, it's okay. I just noticed those people acting suspiciously, so I paid attention. Here, take this bag."

When Ishigami saw Takamatsu Akari's expression and the fact that her hands were empty, she immediately realized that the schoolbag in her hand must belong to Takamatsu Akari.

After Takamatsu Akari took the schoolbag, the three of them, including Kita Ikuyo who was standing to the side, immediately fell into an eerie and silent atmosphere. No one spoke, but no one took a step to leave either.
