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

Nanon Ugetsu then remembered that Shoko had experienced a period of low spirits before the music festival began that morning.

It was at that time that she borrowed the book from herself, hoping to clear her mind.

However... because her emotions were too intense at the time, she didn't read a single word of the book.

With the music festival about to begin, there was naturally no time to read it.

Having figured out what had happened, Nan Yun Yuyue waved her hand before Xiangzi could speak, saying:

"No rush, I've already finished reading this book. If you haven't finished it, you can read it slowly and give it to me later."

"Thank you so much."

Toyokawa Shoko thanked him.

She didn't have time to read the book, but she was indeed very interested in the contents of "Heart".

As a national-level writer in Japan, many people have heard of the name of his works.

I had read a few of Toyokawa Shoko's short stories before, but this was my first time reading his work called "Kokoro".

This morning she told Nagumo Ugetsu that she would return the book to him before school ended, but unexpectedly, she didn't read much of it while waiting for the music festival to start.

Since the music festival had already ended and most of the students were going home, she was worried that Nagumo hadn't finished reading the book yet, so she thought it would be better to return it to him first.

However, since Nangumo Ugetsu said she wasn't in a hurry to return the book, Toyokawa Shoko put the book back into her bag.

She smiled and tugged at Ruoye Mu, who was standing next to her, then looked at Nan Yun Yuyue and said:

"Now that the music festival is over... shall we go back together?"

Nangumo Ugetsu looked at Toyokawa Shoko, who was holding Wakaba Mutsu's hand.

The music festival ended in the afternoon, and most of the other students in the classroom had already left.

Sunlight streamed into the classroom through the half-open window. The late spring light spread across the floor, meandering along the gaps between the desks and chairs, casting large, soft, dappled patterns throughout the classroom.

And the bright young woman extended an invitation to him.

"it is good."

Nayun Yuyue stood up.

Seeing that the two were ready, Wakaba Mutsu, who was standing next to them, also stood up.

“Let’s go together,” said Toyokawa Shoko.

Then, just like last time, the three of them walked towards the school gate.

As Nan Yun Yuyue gazed at the girls' delicate faces bathed in sunlight, she was still pondering the idea she had just had regarding 'preventing' things from getting out of control:

"If that were really possible... it would practically destroy the very foundation of the Demon Clan..."

Chapter 78: A Trade That Requires 1/4 of Your Life (8k)

Unlike the Black King's bloodline, which gradually stabilizes through generations of crossbreeding, the hybrids of the Snake Clan are essentially produced by the contamination of the White King's 'Holy Grail' and 'Holy Remains'.

This special bloodline results in its owner having a higher purity of blood, but also makes it easier to cross the bloodline threshold, increasing the risk of becoming Deadpool.

It can be said that this is a curse etched into the bloodline of the White King's descendants, from which no one can escape.

Because things got out of control, the Snake-Headed Eight Families had to imprison those mixed-blood individuals with unstable bloodlines from a young age.

Even if they might be your own younger brother or sister...

Those 'demons' who managed to escape from their home prisons eventually formed the Fierce Demon Clan, becoming the shadow of the Snake-Headed Eight Families.

It can be said that... it was precisely because of the loss of control that the war between the Snake-Headed Eight Families and the Demon Clan broke out and lasted for thousands of years.

What if... 'discipline' could prevent hybrids from going out of control?

Nan Yunyuyue's thoughts drifted.

If the 'precepts' can suppress the unstable factors in the bloodline of mixed-race people, then the shadow of all mixed-race people in Japan will be erased.

With the risk of spiraling out of control eliminated, the source of the 'demon' within the Fierce Demon Clan was naturally eradicated.

Ambitious individuals like Wang Jiang naturally have no way to exploit this phenomenon to further their own interests.

And the Snake Clan naturally resolved the problem of countless years of internal strife.

but……

The current 'precepts' have not yet reached their peak level; they only address the symptoms, not the root cause. We can't just leave him standing still with the precepts constantly in place.

However... as the 'precepts' continue to be upgraded, perhaps one day, such an effect can truly be achieved.

At that time, even the patriarch of the Snake-Headed Eight Families probably wouldn't have the same status as him.

Perhaps at that time, he would be the true 'emperor'.

tread--

Nan Yun Yuyue paused for a moment, then followed the girl beside her around the corner of the teaching building.

He recalled the latest content that had appeared on the system panel, which happened to be related to the formation of the band.

It was precisely because he formed a band that his physical shortcomings were somewhat compensated for.

Now, all he needs to do is increase his involvement in band activities.

In addition, getting to know the other girls in the band helps prevent them from going out of control, which also helps advance the progress of unlocking the Burial Grounds and allows you to gain disposable skill points to improve 'Discipline'.

And... you can also boost your popularity along the way.

This is a win-win-win situation.

He composed himself and listened quietly to Toyokawa Shoko's voice beside him.

At this moment, Xiangzi is discussing plans to form a band with Ruoye Mutsu.

It seems she is preparing to contact the former head of the Haneoka Wind Ensemble and ask her to recommend a suitable candidate.

"If I remember correctly, the former captain of the brass band at Haneoka Girls' Academy was named Shiina Maki?"

"So, Shiina Tatsuki's older sister?"

Nan Yun Yuyue thought for a moment and remembered the name.

However, in his memory, Shiina Tatsuki's older sister, Shiina Maki, did not appear.

"After all, she is four years older than her younger sister, Lixi, and they should both be in college by now."

Nan Yun Yu Yue thought to herself.

"By the way... I wonder which university she went to."

He suddenly felt a sense of curiosity.

Step—step—step

The three of them walked on and out of the teaching building onto the school road outside.

at this time,

Although almost everyone in the class had left, there were still quite a few students lingering there.

On the playground, by the plantation, along the green corridor... even at the entrance of the music festival hall, many girls were either chatting or lingering and waiting.

Although the music festival has ended, there are still some wrap-up tasks to be completed, and some people are still waiting to go home with their friends.

The three of them walked out of the school gate and walked all the way to the street where Xiang's father had come to pick up his daughter before, and then stopped not far away.

Nearby, a driver from the Toyokawa family was waiting in his car.

Toyokawa Shoko looked at Nagumo Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu and said:

"Nagamo-kun, Mutsumi... I'll be going now."

"Regarding the band, I'm still communicating with other senior students, and I'll let you know the latest situation soon."

"Thank you so much for your support,"

"I will not let you down."

She waved to Nan Yunyuyue and Ruoye Mu, and said with a bright smile.

Shoko Toyokawa felt as if the excitement in her heart had come alive, and she felt that she had never had such anticipation before.

She plans to contact the classmates and senior students she met during previous activities as soon as possible to see if they can recommend suitable candidates.

According to her plan, the band is currently missing a drummer and a lead singer.

Among her friends, the one with the most experience in this area and the most acquaintances seems to be Shiina Maki, who previously won first place in the regional orchestra competition.

"Huh... what a coincidence."

Maki-senpai was previously the captain of the brass band club at Haneoka Girls' Academy.

This school isn't far from Moon Forest, so she might be able to recommend a suitable candidate who isn't too far from her, Wakaba Mutsuki, and Nagumo Ugetsu.

After all, a band still needs to rehearse after it is formed, and it is inconvenient to organize activities and daily practice if the members are too far apart.

Toyokawa Shoko thought back for a moment,

"Speaking of which... Nagasaki Motoyo is also in the brass band club."

"But she's in the Tsukimori Concert Band."

She suddenly noticed this little coincidence.

However, Toyokawa Shoko didn't care about this point. After all, there were significant differences between the Tsukimori and Haneoka brass bands, and their directions were not the same, making it difficult to make arbitrary comparisons.

With that thought in mind, Toyokawa Shoko opened the car door and sat in the back seat.

My father has to attend a meeting at one of the group's subsidiaries today.

She had told her father that morning when he took her to school that she would take the tram home by herself after the music festival.

After thinking about it, the father, Toyokawa Kiyoshi, agreed.

But to her surprise, her family's car still came to pick her up after school today.

She thought this might be her father's good intention, so she wasn't angry.

Perfect timing, she can also contact Maki-senpai while she's on the bus.

Thinking of this, Toyokawa Shoko took out her phone.

…………

…………

the other side,

Nanon Ugetsu and Wakaba Mutsu watched as the Toyokawa family's car drove away with Shoko in it.

After Toyokawa Shoko left, Wakaba Mutsu stopped and looked into his eyes:

"Today... guitar?"

Nan Yun Yuyue then realized that she hadn't been to Ruoye Mutsu's house to play guitar with her for several days.

To be honest, the reason why Wakaba Mutsu wanted to ask him about guitar techniques was because of the emotions in the music.

Nan Yun Yuyue nodded and said:

"it is good."

It just so happens that Toyokawa Shoko's band is about to be formed at this time, and perhaps that is why Wakaba Mutsu thought of practicing more before the official formation.

After all... Ruoye Mu actually cares a lot about Xiaoxiang's feelings.

Before Nanon Ugetsu came to the Moon Forest, she relied on Toyokawa Shoko the most.

That's why, in the previous storyline, when she was about to collapse from the pressure and emotions, she kept following Xiangzi's back.

However, that time, the outcome wasn't very good.

Metis gained control over consciousness, which was the catalyst for Wakaba Mutsumi's transformation into the ancient god Mutsumi.

As Nan Yun Yuyue thought this, she looked at the girl beside her.

They took the tram home today.

When we arrived at the station, there happened to be a suitable tram coming towards the station entrance.
