Mygo, Takamatsu Touma wants to reverse the future

As Gao Songdeng walked downstairs to the club activity building, her eyes were immediately drawn to the few baby birds overhead, and she put down her hands that were holding the trash.

Takamatsu is very fond of the cute and lively little animals.

Having arrived in this world so unexpectedly, will they be curious about it? Will they want to become human?

His thoughts drifted away until he heard a gasp, at which point Gao Songdeng turned around in confusion.

Chihaya, the girl who sat behind me yesterday, is now sitting on the floor with a pained expression on her face.

She fell and got hurt! That was Takamatsu's first thought, and for some reason, the image of a band-aid suddenly flashed into her mind. "Yes, a band-aid!"

In Chihaya Aine's eyes, Takamatsu Akari hesitated for a moment before turning and running away.

"Ah, why did Takamatsu Akari run away?"

Chihaya Aine stood there stunned for a moment. Logically speaking, if someone sees another person fall down, shouldn't they lend a hand? At least that's what she would do.

A minute later, with no sign of Takamatsu Akari appearing, Chihaya Aine got up after feeling less pain in her knee.

"That's strange, Takamatsu Akari, but she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions."

Chihaya Aine felt as if she had encountered a strange little animal, just as humans cannot observe black holes, she found that she could not observe Takamatsu Akira either.

My common sense and experience were completely useless against Gao Songdeng!

But remembering her purpose for today, Chihaya Aine decided to follow them to see what was going on, but first, she needed to help Takamatsu Akari take out the trash. Let's just say...

Gao Songdeng owes her a favor!

As Chihaya Aine entered the club activity building, she called out Takamatsu Akari's name floor by floor, looking left and right, and then saw the Astronomy Club sign at the end of the corridor.

She remembered that the trio in her class had mentioned Takamatsu Akari's club name, which seemed to be the Astronomy Club.

"Takamatsu-san?"

Chihaya Aine pressed her body slightly against the half-open door of the Astronomy Club and peeked out to see Takamatsu Akira, who was looking down inside.

Which one do you want to use?

After hearing the call, Takamatsu Akari approached Chihaya Aine with her pencil case in hand.

"Wow, that's amazing! Are all of these Band-Aids?"

Upon seeing Takamatsu Akari's appearance, Chihaya Aine immediately understood what was going on, including Takamatsu Akari's previous behavior and demeanor. The intelligence gathering was complete!

Looking down, she noticed that the bandages inside all seemed to be shaped like penguins. So, does that mean Takamatsu really likes these penguins?

Adhering to social etiquette, Chihaya Aine smiled.

"I really like penguins, so I'll use this one~"

The moment Chihaya Aine finished speaking, Takamatsu Akari's eyes widened as if some kind of switch had been triggered. She never expected that Chihaya would also like penguins!

"This is a bearded penguin! It has whisker-like markings on its face! It belongs to the Adelie penguin genus!"

"By the way, Gentoo penguins also belong to this genus!"

"This is an Andrei penguin!"

The girl seemed to find a kindred spirit and was overjoyed. She hurriedly took out a yellow band-aid from her pencil case, with a penguin pattern on it.

"I have others, let me look..."

Her enthusiastic demeanor and combo moves completely overwhelmed Chihaya Aine. Is this still the same Takamatsu Akari from before?

"Do you like penguins too, Gao Songdeng?"

Since that's the case, let's throw the topic back, otherwise I feel like I might give myself away.

Upon hearing Chihaya Aine's question, Takamatsu Akari was taken aback at first, then lowered her head slightly in embarrassment.

"I think they are very cute..."

Book 1: Lost Together - Chapter 5: Let's Be in a Band for Life!

"Phew, I never expected Gao Songdeng to be so unique. We've been chatting for so long."

Sitting down, Chihaya Aine reviewed their conversation. Through this incident, she was certain of one thing: Takamatsu Akari really liked penguins and collecting things, which was probably why she had been collecting those stones before.

"I would be very happy if Aine joined the Astronomy Club."

As the two were chatting, Chihaya Aine suddenly heard Takamatsu Akari inviting her.

"Well, I'll consider it."

Out of social etiquette and politeness, Chihaya Aine readily agreed without much thought, but then she saw Takamatsu Akari's hurt and dejected expression. This left her completely bewildered.

"Takamatsu Akari is such a troublemaker~"

With a forced smile, Chihaya Aine was sweating inside, but she was Chihaya Aine, and she couldn't bear to see others unhappy.

After thinking it over, she decided to quickly find another topic. Her eyes caught sight of a notebook behind Gao Songdeng. What a great opportunity!

"Wow, this notebook brings back so many memories! I remember it being from when I was in elementary school!"

As Chihaya Aine spoke, she began flipping through her notebook, and then she saw one piece of sheet music after another, and immediately a smile appeared on her face.

She didn't know how to ask Gao Songdeng to form a band, but now Gao Songdeng has offered her an opportunity.

"You're clearly playing in a band, Takamatsu!"

"Spring Shadows...it's a really good song!"

As her gaze lingered on the lyrics, Chihaya Aion seemed to sense a vibrant emotion emanating from between the lines.

"I'm no longer playing in a band."

Upon hearing Chihaya Aine's words, Takamatsu Akari was suddenly reminded of that time, her eyes lost their luster, her brows furrowed, and the corners of her mouth drooped.

"Really? Then do you want to play with me?!"

Chihaya Aine was overjoyed. Takamatsu Akari had a background in playing bands but didn't have one yet. If she could successfully invite her to join, her status in the class would surely rise to a higher level!

"Playing in a band?"

Instinctively, Takamatsu Akari wanted to refuse, but for no apparent reason, she suddenly thought of the memories she shared with Kita Ikuyo.

I saw Tomorin on the livehouse stage, and I also saw Nina singing her heart out at the music festival!

That was the future that Kita-kun described.

Takamatsu Akari didn't know why she would form a band, but now she seemed to know a little. She wouldn't object to forming a band with Chihaya Aine!

"Perhaps with Aine-kun, the future will be different?!"

Over the past two days, Takamatsu Akari felt a sense of familiarity with Chihaya Aine, just as Kita-chan had given her before. It was warm and intense.

"If it's Aine-san, I'd do it!"

Takamatsu Akari rarely showed a happy smile.

"Really?! That's great, Takamatsu-kun, love!"

Chihaya Aine had only mentioned it casually, since she didn't really know what kind of behavior Takamatsu Akari had, but Takamatsu Akari's immediate agreement surprised her.

However, it's a good thing that she agreed. As far as she can see, Gao Songdeng's thought process is still a mystery to her.

"Then I'll be the lead singer and guitarist. What can Gao Songdeng do?"

Chihaya Aine already felt a bright future beckoning her; all she needed to do was find two or three more members…

However, Takamatsu Akari's thoughts seemed to have drifted away again, and her expression became downcast once more.

Chihaya Aine leaned closer: "What's wrong, Takamatsu-kun?"

Gao Songdeng shook his head: "Of course I could form a band with Ai Yin, but I still don't have the confidence..."

Unbeknownst to Takamatsu Akari, she had already changed how she addressed Chihaya Aine.

Although Kita-chan described a future filled with loving sounds, really, really, won't the band break up again because of her?

Lacking confidence...

Chihaya Aine picked up the green notebook in her hand. The words "Spring Shadows" on the pages were silent, mirroring the expression on Takamatsu Akari's face at that moment.

Suddenly, Ai Yin also recalled her past. How spirited she was in junior high school, but a shattered London dream brought her back to reality.

It must be admitted that failure in life always seems unexpected and common. Like a warrior, facing defeat, unafraid of hardship, rising again and continuing forward? What a joke! How can one dispel the regret, anxiety, and panic associated with failure?

On occasional rainy nights, in her bedroom at home, Ai Yin could still recall the embarrassment of her British classroom, and at this moment, Takamatsu's reaction made her suddenly realize that she seemed to have never truly escaped the shadow of that time.

After a long while, Chihaya Aine raised her head, a flash of past memories appearing in her eyes, which were then replaced by a determined light.

"Little Lamp, that must be very uncomfortable, right?"

Chihaya Aine moved forward slowly, her eyes filled with tenderness.

"However, as long as we work hard to avoid repeating the same mistakes, wouldn't that be enough?"

Even if you fail once, you can still believe that you can start over.

As she spoke, Aine grasped Takamatsu's hands, feeling a warm sensation in her palms.

"Otherwise, life is so long, you won't be able to hold on."

Rather than speaking to Tomorin, Chihaya Aine seemed to be speaking to herself more. She hated failure the most, but failure had already happened, and there was no use in being anxious and regretful. She had to keep looking forward! Even if she couldn't accept it now, as long as she took action, new paths would continue to emerge.

Perhaps one day I'll be able to fully accept failure!

Takamatsu Akari felt the warmth of his palm, blushed, and looked up. Her intuition told her that Aine's emotions weren't a lie; they were truthful truths worth hearing. Perhaps even the key to becoming human?

An indescribable emotion welled up within him, and a glimmer of light flickered in Takamatsu's eyes as he stared intently at the transfer student before him.

If it's Aine, then she won't get hurt, right?

If it's Aine, then she can become human, right?

"So, Aiyin, would you like to form a band with me for life?"

The gentle words echoed in the astronomy room, while Chihaya Aine was still a little dazed.

Do you have to be in a band for a lifetime? That's a lifetime!

For example, if a person lives to seventy, that's 851 months, which is more than 20,000 days...

Before my thoughts could catch up, the words had already slipped out.

"One, for a lifetime?"

In an instant, Takamatsu Akari sensed the hesitation from Chihaya Aine, a feeling of doubt and incomprehension that she had known all too well since childhood.

Panic spread through his body, despair overwhelmed him, and Gao Songdeng shuddered, his eyes looking down.

"I knew I'd said something weird again."

This was Gao Songdeng's last thought. A feeling of embarrassment rose within her, and all she wanted to do at that moment was escape.

Without exchanging any farewells, Chihaya Aine only saw Takamatsu Akari dart away like a frightened little animal.

Gao Songdeng felt that he still couldn't do it.

If Kita-chan's words gave her the first bit of courage to agree to Aine's request, then her fear of the future and her realistic attitude made her hesitate.

"How could someone like me possibly continue forming a band?"
