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

"Mori Minami is getting stranger and stranger... She herself is a hybrid, although her bloodline rank is much lower than Xiao Mu's, but if she wanted Xiao Mu to know about the existence of hybrids, she clearly had a million ways..."

"Why did you have to secretly copy the recordings about the dragon script here?"

Motis was puzzled.

"Mu...you really owe me a huge favor."

Just as she was preparing to return to the temple of consciousness, she suddenly thought of an interesting idea.

"Sigh...Isn't that boy named Nan Yun Yuyue coming tomorrow?"

“Xiao Mu had long suspected that he was a mixed-race person with similar circumstances, just like herself, and this audio recording is a good way to verify it.”

"Who knows, there might be a big surprise."

With that in mind, Metis copied 'Highway to Hell' onto the TV as well, and incidentally moved its playback order before Princess Mononoke.

"It's done."

Mortis smiled with satisfaction.

She turned off the television and immediately re-entered the temple of consciousness.

The Baku's golden eyes swept over once more.

"Okay, okay... I would never take over her body without Xiao Mu's permission."

"Mottis said helplessly."

Her finger gently touched Wakaba Mutsu's forehead.

The next moment, Ruoye Mu opened her eyes as if waking from a dream.

“Metis…”

What came into view was Mortis's face.

Mortis smiled and said:

"Mu...you're finally awake."

"You suddenly fainted right after I activated 'Spiritual Vision'. Luckily, nothing serious happened. Otherwise, if you had died, who would want to make a deal with me?"

She looked at Wakaba Mutsu and said helplessly once again:

"Don't look at me like that. It's normal for your body to react after you activate your spiritual vision. The higher the level of the hybrid, the more intense the reaction. You just fainted. It's a minor problem."

"piece of cake?"

Ruoye Mu looked around.

The scene inside the Temple of Consciousness was no different from before.

She cast her gaze into the depths of the basement, where the Baku seemed to still be asleep.

It seemed that Mortis hadn't lied to her, but she still felt a little uneasy.

She looked at Metis again, but Metis had a serious expression and didn't seem to have done anything.

now,

Mortis's heart was practically in her throat.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself:

"Having absorbed so many nightmare fragments from the Dream Eater, and with the Dream Eater's cover, Xiao Mu shouldn't be able to detect it, right..."

"Speaking of which, the Dream Eater is really strange... It's clearly just a remnant of consciousness remaining here, but the power it exudes is just like when it was alive, and it can actually help Xiao Mu's Word of Power become this strong..."

"Even I have to spend a lot of energy every day dealing with those scattered fragments of nightmares to prevent Xiao Mu from losing control..."

"Sigh...when will Xiao Mu be able to do more deals with me..."

the other side,

Ruoye Mutsu walked up to the television set in the Hall of Consciousness.

She reached out, grabbed a 'wire,' and, amidst Metty's shouts of 'No!', cleaved it in two.

"Don't try to play these tricks on me."

Ruoye Mu said softly.

The next moment, she exited the hall of consciousness and returned to reality.

wow——

Wakaba Mutsu opened her eyes.

The basement in reality is exactly the same as the basement in the temple of consciousness.

Even though she had just cleaned the basement in reality, Metath quickly recreated a similar appearance in the Temple of Consciousness.

Therefore, when she first returned to reality from the realm of consciousness, she sometimes felt a sense of disorientation, as if she had not yet returned.

"television."

Wakaba glanced at the TV; the download progress of Princess Mononoke had reached 100%.

"In that case... we can just wait until tomorrow."

She slowly walked to the corner of the basement, picked up her guitar, and then curled up on the sofa.

…………

…………

Time is like running water.

Before you know it, it's another late night.

Nangumo Ugetsu has already explained to Toyokawa Shoko that he will be going to the Moon Forest tomorrow.

However, he cited having to handle band matters as an excuse and did not mention that he was going to see a movie with Wakaba Mutsu after school; he only said that he might be back later.

At that time, Toyokawa Shoko was still pondering something, lost in thought. When Nagumo Ugetsu mentioned that she was going to the Moon Forest the next day, she simply said, "I'm not really sure I want to go yet," and then said nothing more.

Nan Yunyu didn't disturb her mind too much at that time, and let the matter pass by peacefully.

at the same time,

In everyone's home.

Nagasaki Motoyo was lying in bed, still watching Crychic's performance at the Live House that day.

In the video, Gao Songdeng stands in the center of the stage, holding a microphone, singing with complete absorption.

She stood on the side of the stage, holding her bass guitar, equally immersed in the performance.

Everything in the picture seems so beautiful. She has finally found close friends and feels needed.

Motoyo Nagasaki switched to the official Crychic account she manages and posted another update:

The band's rehearsal plans are currently under discussion, and we believe we'll be able to meet everyone on stage again soon!

"Xiangzi and Yuyue didn't come to class today."

Nagasaki Motoyo thought to herself.

She had planned to find some time today to inquire about the band's future rehearsal plans, but unfortunately, both Toyokawa Shoko and Nagumo Uzuki had taken the day off, and even Wakaba Mutsuki didn't know why.

It's no wonder she rushed over to ask about it the day after the band's joint performance, after all, Crychic's performance in their first joint performance was outstanding, and they were undoubtedly the best among the dozen or so bands performing together.

If they can work steadily and produce a few more pieces of music of the quality of Haruhi Kage, they might even be able to perform at the Budokan.

Budokan...

Although Nagasaki Motoyo didn't form the band for fame or money, the thought of performing in that venue that countless bands dream of still filled her with excitement.

Being able to be with friends and feel needed—what could be better than Crychic right now?

Nagasaki Motoyo lay on her side, her mauve dress slipping off her shoulder, revealing her slender collarbone and fair neck.

Seemingly feeling a bit sore in her arms, she turned over, revealing her fair and slender legs under the thin blanket, but she didn't notice at all.

"Nagamo-kun should be coming to school tomorrow, right?"

Nagasaki Motoyo thought to herself.

"We can discuss the band rehearsal later, okay?"

Chapter 137 The Night of Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki, Kassel Admissions Season

It was the same late night.

A high-rise residential apartment building in front of the Chitose Pedestrian Bridge, near Meji-dori Street, Meji-ni-chome, Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

At Takamatsu Todori's home.

The girl knelt by the window of the room, her short skirt spread out on the wooden board, wearing black cotton socks.

In front of her was a spotless astronomical telescope, with several interchangeable lenses beside her.

Takamatsu Akari leaned forward slightly, her eyelashes drooping, and fine strands of hair brushing against her cheeks with her movements. With one hand, she gently adjusted the telescope's knob, while the other hand steadily held the tripod. Her bright eyes gazed at the starry sky through the lenses.

The night scene in the lens gradually came closer and became clearer in her eyes.

In large cities like Tokyo, due to severe light pollution, it is generally difficult to see the stars. Only by using a telescope can one see the beauty of the starry sky.

In her vision, the stars appeared clearly, as if some kind of soft light was meandering through the night sky.

Takamatsu blinked, let out a soft breath, and thought to himself:

"strangeness……"

"Why is it different from what's described in the book?"

She was troubled.

She had read in a book before that a very rare meteor was recently approaching Earth.

Gao Songdeng calculated that the meteor should reach the Northern Hemisphere sometime soon, so apart from band practice, she has been spending her nights waiting for the meteor, but it hasn't appeared yet.

"Could it be that the book is wrong?"

She gently closed the telescope, carefully put away the lens, and then meticulously placed it in a corner.

After tidying up, Gao Songdeng turned off the light, lay down on his small bed, and stared at the ceiling.

"Logically, the sky should be clearer after a heavy rain, so why is it still so murky..."

Gao Songdeng pulled the blanket over himself.

As night fell, her thoughts began to wander aimlessly.

"I haven't seen such heavy rain in Tokyo in a long time... Just a short while ago, there was no sign of rain at all, but that day it rained so heavily."

Takamatsu recalled the scene that night when she was about to stargaze when a torrential downpour suddenly began.

"It feels so strange... Why does it feel like something has descended upon Tokyo just because it's raining, when I've never felt this way during previous downpours?"

"Could it be that the shooting star actually came that day, but I didn't see it because the heavy rain blocked out the darkness?"

"In that case... I wonder how long it will be before I see this shooting star again."

She turned over and picked up her phone, which was lying to the side.

[Tokyo time 1:02]

"Tomorrow... no, I have to go to class in the morning."

Takamatsu had already felt the overwhelming drowsiness creeping in.

But just then, a notification popped up on my phone screen, displaying the message: "[The official Crychic account has a new post, come and check it out!]"

Takamatsu's fingertip paused for a moment on the phone screen before tapping it.

"Su Shi is running this account now, I didn't expect she's still awake."

The band's rehearsal plans are currently under discussion, and we believe we'll be able to meet everyone on stage again soon!

Takamatsu Akari looked at this new post edited by Nagasaki Motoyo.

Perhaps because most people who enjoy watching band performances are night owls, a few replies still appeared in the comments section despite it being late at night.

[Keep it up! Your band is more talented than I expected. I look forward to seeing you perform more often at Live House RiNG.]
