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

"Xiao Mu."

Ruoye Mu's body moved slightly, but not very noticeably.

Nan Yun Yuyue gently touched her fair arm again.

The girl lay face down on the table, her long, light green hair cascading down like a waterfall, obscuring half of her face.

This time there seemed to be a reaction.

Wakaba Mutsu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

A moment later, her golden pupils slowly opened, slightly hazy.

She looked up and saw Nan Yun Yuyue standing by her table.

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu subconsciously gave a soft "hmm".

Nanyun Yuyue said:

"We're having PE class now, want to go to the playground together?"

Ruoye Mu blinked, as if she hadn't yet emerged from the dream:

"Wait a moment."

She reached out and grabbed upwards, as if trying to grasp something.

In her 'field of vision', a gray, snowflake-shaped fragment was quietly rising.

This is a fragment of a nightmare that spilled out after the out-of-control 'Dream Eater' was suppressed, containing some elements from the depths of her consciousness.

Because this fragment was released unconsciously and had no direct destructive power, it was somewhat like an item dropped after defeating a monster, so the discipline did not erase it.

"Susu"

The snowflake-shaped fragments arced through the air and landed on Toyokawa Shoko's seat.

The next moment, it vanished, melting into the scene like snowflakes melting away.

"what……"

Ruoye Mu opened her mouth slightly.

Fortunately, Toyokawa Shoko is not in the classroom right now.

But Ruo Ye Mu wasn't quite sure what effect the melting of this nightmare fragment onto her seat would have.

She stood up, glanced at Toyokawa Shoko's seat, and then turned to look at Nagumo Ugetsu.

For some reason, Wakaba Mutsu felt a little more at ease.

Nan Yun Yuyue said, "Let's go."

The two walked out of the classroom side by side. The moment they stepped out of the classroom door, a notification sound rang in Nan Yun Yuyue's ear:

[You have prevented the overflow of 'Dream Eater' through discipline, +1 Free Skill Point]

[Progress towards unlocking 'The Burial Ground of Gods' (2/6)]

!

Nan Yun Yuyue was shocked.

"So her words of power were the Dream Eater..."

"Looking at the panel's prompts, I'm glad I activated 'Discipline' beforehand."

"otherwise……"

He glanced at Wakaba Mutsu, who was still looking down, seemingly only focused on the small patch of ground beneath his feet.

Nanyun Yuyue's thoughts drifted.

Those who possess this kind of spiritual power are often somewhat sensitive and fragile, and are natural-born artists.

Recalling the countless 'dolls' that Ruoye Mutsu had played in her consciousness, this Word of Power was indeed incredibly fitting for her.

"The reason why 'Dream Eater' didn't go out of control before was probably because it came into contact with the guitar."

"This time, I don't know what Minami said to Mutsuka Wakaba, but it made her feel so much pressure that it was almost off the charts."

Even though several minutes of class had already started, Nanon Ugetsu was still walking leisurely with Wakaba Mutsu beside her.

"That's not right. I also went to the Wakaba family's dinner party last time, and there were quite a few social celebrities there,"

"However, last time, Ruoye Mu was able to barely hold on in terms of mental state. So who exactly is coming to the Ruoye family dinner this weekend?"

Nan Yunyuyue walked and pondered.

Tapping.

After descending a few more steps, he tugged at Wakaba Mutsu beside him, reminding her that they had reached the corner of the stairs.

"Be careful not to slip."

"Hmm." Wakaba Mutsu raised her head and looked ahead.

Just around the corner, a figure was rushing up the stairs.

"Mr. Sushi."

Nan Yun Yuyue greeted him.

Motoyo Nagasaki had just finished extra training for the Tsuki no Mori Music Festival and was rushing back to class.

Unexpectedly, at the corner of the corridor, I happened to see Nan Yun Yuyue.

"Hello, Yuyue."

She unconsciously gave a gentle smile.

At that moment, Nagasaki Motoyo noticed Wakaba Mutsumi standing next to him.

"what……"

"Isn't this Mutsumi Wakaba, the daughter of comedian Takafumi Wakaba and A-list actress Minami Mori?"

"How come they're together?"

Nagasaki Motoyo didn't know the schedule for Class C and thought the two of them had sneaked out and she just happened to bump into them.

She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she turned to Wakaba Mutsumi and said:

"Hello."

Ruo Ye Mu lowered her head and did not answer.

???

Since Nagasaki Motoyo has not yet had any dealings with Wakaba Mutsumi, this further confirms her suspicions.

"Did they break something?"

But when she looked at Nan Yunyuyue, she found his expression to be perfectly natural, while Ruo Yemu had his head down and his expression was not clear.

"My band had to make some last-minute changes to our performance at the music festival, so I'm only back in class now."

Nagasaki Suyo explained.

"So that's it."

Nanyun Yuyue smiled and said,

"I've just arrived in Tsuki no Mori and haven't participated in any events like this before. The events held by Kamogawa Junior High School before were not nearly as important as those in Tsuki no Mori. I'm really looking forward to your performance."

The two chatted and laughed for a few minutes before waving goodbye.

Afterwards, Nanon Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu continued walking downstairs.

Chapter 42 Maybe... we shouldn't go to the playground?

Nanon Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu continued walking downstairs.

After descending a few more steps from the corner of the stairs, Nan Yun Yuyue suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Ruoye Mutsuki:

"The physical education class should have started about ten minutes ago."

"Since we're already late, why don't we just skip going to the playground?"

Wakaba Mutsu, who was standing next to him, stopped and looked at him.

Her expression was somewhat puzzled, as if she were asking, "Where are we going?"

Nanyun Yuyue smiled and said:

"If we rush to the playground now, the teacher might get angry."

"How about we go directly to the plantation?"

Wakaba Mutsu was taken aback for a moment.

Although her expression didn't change, she seemed to be struggling with whether this counted as skipping class.

After all, from a young age, her family and Tsukimori had always taught her to follow the rules.

Skipping class... seemed like a very deviant thing to do, something she had never done before.

But in the end, Wakaba Mutsumi's love for the little cucumbers she had grown prevailed.

She nodded slightly:

"Ah."

The sound was actually very soft.

But Nan Yun Yuyue still keenly caught her agreement, and the moment his lips trembled slightly, he directly grabbed Ruoye Mu's arm.

then,

They started running.

The two rushed out of the small door of the teaching building, and the sunlight suddenly shone on them, so bright that it was almost blinding.

The late spring wind ruffled Ruoye Mu's hair, completely dispelling the hesitation in her heart.

She instinctively followed Nan Yunyuyue's footsteps, the hem of her clothes fluttering slightly as she ran.

We cannot take the usual route to school to the plantation, as it is close to the playground, there are too many students there, and teachers may appear at any time.

Nan Yun Yuyue pulled her towards the path, leading her through a row of dense bushes.

Ruoye Mu felt her heart pounding wildly, as if it were about to burst out of her chest.

Is this... skipping class?

Turning onto the path behind, I gently bent down and walked through the green corridor covered with ivy.

After circling around almost half of the campus, the two finally arrived at the cucumber field.

If Ye Mu stopped, her long hair, which had been tossed about while running, would fall back onto her head.

Before me stretched a vast expanse of lush green cucumber fields, like a carpet spread out from my feet, extending until it was gently edged with gold by the spring sunshine.

The cucumber vines have already climbed onto the bamboo trellis, their leaves so bright green they're almost dazzling, and tiny yellow flowers have even sprouted on some of the branches.

Wakaba Mutsumi paused for a moment.

Her mind went blank for a moment.

She seemed unable to believe that she had run all the way from the teaching building to here, and forgot that Nan Yun Yuyue was standing next to her.

She just stood there, looking at the greenery and the tiny flowers, without moving.

Sunlight fell on her face, and her eyelashes drooped down, as if veiled.

Nan Yun Yuyue remained silent.

He stood next to Wakaba Mutsu, quietly watching her profile.

The cucumber field smelled moist, a mixture of fresh grass and earth.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, dappling her clothes.

Wakaba Mutsumi was wearing the school uniform of Tsukinomori. Because she had just run, her white undershirt was sticking lightly to her chest due to slight sweat.
