We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

So, Wakaba Mutsu put aside her inner turmoil, unwrapped the chocolate, and put it in her mouth.

She thought she heard Metty laughing, but the sound was fleeting and left no trace.

At the same time, Nagumo Ugetsu had just received the chocolate from Toyokawa Shoko.

"Thank you, Toyokawa-kun."

He didn't open it directly, but looked at the chocolate packaging first.

The brand is Valrhona, a world-class chocolate brand from France, known for its exceptional taste.

Nanon Ugetsu sighed, "As expected of the young lady of the Toyokawa family, even the chocolates she takes out are so expensive."

However, he didn't pay too much attention to this. After reading it, he also opened the packaging and put the chocolate in his mouth.

"tasty."

Nayun Yuyue smiled.

"I'm glad it's delicious." Toyokawa Shoko handed Takamatsu Akari another piece of chocolate. "I'll bring some more next time."

"Ah."

Takamatsu seemed quite interested in this chocolate, but not in its taste; rather, in its packaging.

"Could this be the next thing Takamatsu Todori wants to collect?"

Nan Yun Yu Yue recalled her various collections besides stones.

Valrhona's packaging is also sparkly, no wonder Takasong lamps are interested in it.

Other chocolate brands should also have similar designs.

He was thinking about it while savoring the taste of the chocolate.

Everyone eats chocolate differently. Nagumo Ugetsu prefers the feeling of letting it melt slowly in her mouth, but some people prefer to bite it into pieces and swallow it directly.

Everyone in the rehearsal room is eating chocolate now, and occasional laughter can be heard, which has eased the tension before going on stage.

Nan Yun Yu Yue's heart stirred.

"It's almost time, let's go backstage and wait for a bit."

He glanced at his phone; it was already past five o'clock, which was exactly the time he should be going backstage to prepare.

"it is good."

The girls all stood up.

With the help of Nanon Ugetsu, they then transported their instruments to the backstage area.

"Finally finished."

Shoko Toyokawa breathed a sigh of relief after checking her electronic keyboard.

The backstage area of ​​Live House RiNG consists of individual cubicles, but they are pitifully small compared to the rehearsal room, and can only be used for makeup and storage.

"I'm going out for a bit to check if I've left anything in the rehearsal room."

Nanyun Yuyue said.

He pushed open the door to the backstage cubicle, walked down the steps, and headed towards the rehearsal room in another direction.

Just as he was about to reach his destination, a blond figure came into view.

She was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a baseball cap, seemingly not wanting to be recognized.

She hurried towards the backstage area, looking somewhat excited.

"This is……"

"Triangle Hatsune?"

Nan Yun Yu Yue was surprised.

Is she here too?

And judging from this direction, are they going to find Toyokawa Shoko?

Chapter 108 Hatsune Miku and Xiao Xiang meet again, the band takes the stage (5.6k)

Miku Miku was thrilled.

After she and Junta Mana got into the car, they quickly headed towards this location.

During the taxi ride, she even sent a message to Toyokawa Shoko to inquire about the location of their rehearsal room.

"They're backstage now."

Miku Miku looked at the messages on her phone, then hurried forward with her head down.

She was so preoccupied with Toyokawa Shoko that she didn't even notice the figure hurrying past her.

This scene happened right in Nan Yun Yuyue's line of sight.

Nan Yun Yu Yue was startled.

Miku Miku (Triangle Miku) has also appeared.

As expected, Toyokawa Shoko invited her.

Are there any other people coming?

He clearly remembered Miku's words of power, as well as the even more mysterious Mana Junda.

Sumimi hasn't held any performances during this period, and there's been no activity online.

Logically speaking, for such a popular group in such a fickle era, disappearing for a week would be a huge blow to their popularity, but they chose to go into seclusion for a period of time.

Could it be because of the Snake-Headed Eight Families?

Nan Yun Youyue speculated about the connection between this matter and the largest mixed-race force in all of Japan.

If Junda Mana is a member of the Snake-Headed Eight Family, then after she took Misaki Hatsune away, she must have gone to the Snake-Headed Eight Family's stronghold.

These past few days of seclusion have likely meant staying at Genji Heavy Industries or other bases of the Snake Clan.

After all, the Snake Clan would never give up on having such a top-tier hybrid with powerful incantations.

He remained calm and continued walking forward without changing his direction.

He didn't suddenly stop and change direction, as that would be too abrupt and would draw attention to something.

The next moment, the 'discipline' was activated.

[Candlelight: Real-time monitoring of the location and status of all living things within the area, while concealing one's own aura and reducing the likelihood of others perceiving one.]

Previously, Nan Yun Yuyue had already raised the level of this authority to LV3, which was sufficient to handle most situations nowadays.

He pretended nothing had happened and returned to the rehearsal room the way he came, while observing the scene in his 'vision'.

Strange... There doesn't seem to be anything unusual in the rehearsal room or backstage area right now.

Nan Yunyuyue's thoughts were in turmoil.

He pushed open the door to the rehearsal room, turned on the light, and found nothing else left behind, so he immediately returned the way he came.

On the way, Nan Yun Yuyue summoned her panel and looked at the contents on it.

[Progress towards unlocking 'The Burial Ground of Gods' (3/6)]

[Current Word of Power: 1]

【'Precepts'】

[Forbidden Zone: LV3] [Heart Abyss: LV2] [Candlelight: LV3]

[Currently available skill points: 0]

With the Philosopher's Stone that Gao Songdeng had given him not long ago, he could now strengthen his discipline for a full eighteen minutes. Even if the demons came knocking on his door tonight, he was confident he could escape unscathed.

"Speaking of which... did Hatsune come to see Xiaoxiang... simply because she wanted to see him?"

Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.

Just then, he returned to the backstage area and stopped.

In his line of sight, Toyokawa Shoko was looking at the Misaki Miku figure in front of her, a hint of surprise on her face.

…………

Just now,

Shoko Toyokawa was standing at the door chatting with the other members of the band when she suddenly heard a knock.

She opened the door and paused for a moment.

The girl in front of her was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a baseball cap. Although she was completely covered up, she felt very familiar with her and looked like one of her friends.

Before Toyokawa Shoko could speak, the figure in front of her took off his mask and sunglasses, revealing his true face.

A few strands of short, golden hair peeked out from under her hat brim as she smiled at herself.

"Chu Hua!"

Toyokawa Shoko was pleasantly surprised.

She stepped out of the cubicle, closed the door, and looked at her.

"You've finally arrived. It's been a long time."

"It has indeed been a long time."

Misaki Miku laughed.

She put her sunglasses back on, but not her mask.

“Sumimi has been training intensively during this period, and we have rarely had time to meet.”

The two stood backstage, surrounded by other band members carrying things.

It is currently 18:10.

There are 50 minutes left before the RiNG Live House show begins.

There is about an hour before Crychic takes the stage.

The concert is about to begin, and since there are a total of fifteen bands performing, the staff at the live house are also responsible for coordinating them.

Just finding the instruments for these fifteen bands is a very troublesome matter.

Miku felt the lively atmosphere backstage and, for some reason, even felt a little nostalgic.

From arriving in Tokyo to joining Sumimi and then becoming a sensation after her debut, everything happened so fast that she almost forgot what most bands were like.

Most bands are formed because they want to play certain songs with friends or simply want to show off; very few actually treat it as a career.

Even those who form a band with the determination to make a name for themselves will find that this industry is also a place where only the fittest survive. Most bands are just doing it for fun, and they will fail if they try to commercialize it.

The rapid development of the Sumimi duo is not only due to the talents of the two members, but also to a combination of favorable timing, location, and personal connections.

She pondered this with a sense of reflection, and then chatted with Toyokawa Shoko about topics related to school.

"Xiao Xiang, will you still be studying at Moon Forest next semester?"

"Yes, many of my friends are in the Moon Forest, and I've been studying here since I was a child, so I have an emotional attachment to this place."

"Hey, I remember, didn't Moon Forest recently admit a batch of transfer students?"

"Correct."

When this topic came up, Toyokawa Shoko's expression brightened up.

“Crychic’s mentor was a transfer student in our class. Thanks to his help, we were able to perform on stage so quickly.”

Band coach?

Moreover, it seems that Xiao Xiang trusts this person a lot, otherwise why would he ask him to take on this role in his band?

Miku Miku was a little curious.

"Is the transfer student a boy or a girl?"

“It’s a boy,” Toyokawa Shoko laughed. “The transfer students at Tsukinomori don’t have gender restrictions.”
