Green plums cannot become lovers.

“They are newcomers and not very famous.” An and Asuka smiled and said, “But they are very hardworking and practice every day. I hope you can take good care of them when the time comes.”

"Don't worry, I definitely will when we meet!"

Chihaya Aiyin nodded excitedly.

"Um......"

Matcha Parfait.

"Stray cat, don't interrupt!"

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded thoughtfully.

Anshan's dead phosphorus wife, V?|?5i read - Yi and Fei Niao checked the time and stood up.

"Thank you all for chatting with me today. Don't worry about the clothes. I'll go take care of them first, so they won't be harder to wash later once they're completely dry."

"Well... at least let us buy you a new one, okay?"

Shiina Tatsuki quickly replied, still feeling somewhat guilty.

"No need, no need." An and Asuka waved their hands and smiled at them. "Good luck in the competition. I look forward to seeing your performance on stage."

"Say it," he said, turning and leaving the coffee shop, leaving the girls looking at each other in bewilderment.

“That person…” Chihaya Aine tilted her head, “doesn’t he look familiar?”

"Familiar?" Nagasaki Sosei asked.

"Hmm... I feel like I've seen this somewhere before." Chihaya Aine tried hard to remember, but couldn't.

Gao Songdeng nodded slightly and said, "And his band is called 'Praise Music,' which sounds similar to Xiangzi's band..."

Shiina Riki looked thoughtfully in the direction where An and Asuka had left.

“Never mind,” said Nagasaki Motoyo. “He was just a random passerby we met anyway. Let’s continue discussing our piece.”

The girls snapped out of their reverie and refocused on the discussion.

Volume 1: Chapter 237 The Blue-Haired Little Girl

The following evening, after inspecting the enemy situation, An and Asuka returned to the coffee shop.

He watched several bands perform today and learned a lot. He has basically mastered the style of Broken Pipa, and Monica's strength impressed him. There were also some well-known independent bands, each with their own unique characteristics.

He needs to organize this information so he can tell the girls who have finished the band later.

Pushing open the coffee shop door, a familiar aroma wafted towards them. An and Asuka looked around; the black-haired girl behind the counter wasn't there today, replaced by an unfamiliar waiter.

He didn't pay any attention, walked to his usual spot in the corner, ordered a cup of black tea, and then took out his notebook to start organizing the intelligence he had gathered that day.

The results these past two days have been pretty good. At least we've learned about some bands' styles and specific abilities, which will allow the girls who are leaving the band to be mentally prepared, so they don't find out how strong their opponents are right before going on stage.

He sipped his black tea while scribbling and drawing in his notebook.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door again.

"Xiao Xiang, didn't you guys practice today?"

It's Chihaya Ayane's unique clip-on sound.

An and Asuka looked up and saw several girls from MyGO!!!!! walking towards them through the cafe's glass window. Beside them was a girl with long blue hair.

"No, not at all." The blue-haired girl's voice was gentle and cheerful. "I've finished all my work and practice ahead of schedule, so I can finally get some rest."

"Oh, that must be very hard work."

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at him with concern.

"It's alright, you guys are the ones who have worked hard," the blue-haired girl said with a smile.

The group of people walked in, chatting and laughing, and found a seat by the window.

An and Asuka sat unnoticed in the corner. He didn't greet them, but quietly went about his business, occasionally listening to their conversation.

"If you need it,"

The blue-haired girl smiled faintly.

"We at Ave Mujica can help you practice."

An and Asuka paused for a moment.

Ave Mujica?

He looked up at the blue-haired girl.

Her round face was adorned with adorable blush, giving her a soft and gentle appearance, and her voice was also very gentle. But her eyes revealed a determination that did not match her appearance.

Is this cute and cuddly girl from Ave Mujica?

An and Asuka raised an eyebrow.

He had heard of the band.

The band was formed just over a month ago, but they made it to the Budokan in just one month.

This is not a small venue, nor a mixed performance; it is a genuine, independent martial arts dojo event.

They are a truly talented band.

Of course, Akane Akasaka told him this information. He didn't know much about the specifics, nor did he know about the band members, because the band did a very good job of keeping it a secret, and it was almost impossible to find any real information about the members online.

However, I ran into members of this band here today.

An and Asuka lowered their eyes and continued to pretend to organize their notes.

The band MyGO, do they really have connections?

The strong teams they faced yesterday were all familiar to them, and today another member of Ave Mujica appeared.

However, he didn't make a fuss; he simply sat quietly in the corner, listening to the conversation over there.

"Xiao Xiang, you guys are amazing," Chihaya Aine's voice came from inside. "A martial arts dojo! We haven't even established ourselves in a small livehouse yet..."

"Take your time," the blue-haired girl said gently. "We've come this far step by step, and you've only just begun. You're already doing great."

Nagasaki Motoyo sighed softly, "Compared to you, we are far inferior."

"Don't say that," the girl said earnestly. "Every band has its own rhythm; the important thing is to stick with it."

Shiina Tatsuki, who was sitting to the side listening to their conversation, suddenly stood up.

"I'm going to get back to work now, you guys can chat."

"it is good."

She turned and walked towards the bar. As she passed the corner, her gaze swept over the figure who was writing with his head down, and then—

stopped.

"Huh? Anhe-kun?"

Shiina Tatsuki's voice was filled with surprise.

An and Asuka looked up, met her gaze, and nodded with a smile.

"Hello."

Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment, and the girls immediately noticed the situation in Tokyo.

"Huh?!" Chihaya Aine was the first to stand up, peering into the corner before her eyes lit up. "It really is Anwa-kun!"

Nagasaki Motoyo and Takamatsu Akari also stood up, while Kaname Rakuna slowly turned her head and glanced in their direction.

Several girls walked over and gathered around An and Asuka's table.

"Anwa-kun, were you alright yesterday?" Chihaya Aine asked with concern. "Did you wash your clothes afterwards?"

"It's nothing." Anhe Feibiao smiled. "I soaked it in water when I got back, and the tea stains came off."

"That's good, that's good." Chihaya Aine breathed a sigh of relief.

Nagasaki Motoyo also smiled gently: "I'm really sorry about yesterday. Riki is not usually so impulsive."

Shiina Tatsuki snorted but did not refute.

An and Asuka waved their hands: "I said it's nothing, don't worry about it."

At that moment, the blue-haired girl also walked over.

She stood behind the girls, her gaze fixed on An and Asuka.

Those eyes, which started with casualness, gradually turned to surprise, and then to disbelief.

“Anwa-kun,” Chihaya Aine introduced warmly, “this is our friend, Toyokawa Shoko!”

“Xiao Xiang,” Nagasaki Susuke added, “this is Anhe, who also participated in the roadside concert and is considered our rival.”

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent.

She just stared blankly at An and Asuka, her lips slightly parted, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

"Xiangzi?" Chihaya Aine looked at her with some confusion. "What's wrong?"

Seeing this reaction, An and Asuka had some guesses in their minds.

He stood up and extended his hand to Toyokawa Shoko.

"Hello, Toyokawa-kun."

Shoko Toyokawa finally came to her senses, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly took his hand.

"Hello..."

Her hands were a little cold, and her fingertips trembled slightly.

An and Asuka released their grip and sat down again. Toyokawa Shoko remained standing where she had been, her expression somewhat dazed.

The girls looked at each other, puzzled as to what was wrong with her.

"Xiangzi, are you feeling unwell?" Nagasaki Motoyo asked with concern.

"N-no..." Toyokawa Shoko shook her head, but her eyes couldn't help but drift towards Anwa Asuka.

An and Asuka didn't say much, they just nodded to each other: "You two talk, I'll organize my notes first."

“Okay, then I won’t bother you any longer,” Nagasaki Motoyo said understandingly.

The girls returned to their seats, but Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but turn around and glance at An and Asuka a few times.

-

Back in her seat, Chihaya Aine leaned close to Toyokawa Shoko's ear and whispered, "Shoko, do you know him?"

Toyokawa Shoko paused for a moment, then lowered her voice and asked, "When...did you meet Anwa-kun?"

“Just yesterday,” Chihaya Aine said. “What happened?”

"Don't you know him?" The voice of Yi Qiyi Sanwa Toyokawa Shoko was filled with disbelief.

The girls exchanged glances.

“I don’t know him,” Chihaya Aine scratched her head. “He’s just a stranger I bumped into. Yesterday, Riki accidentally spilled tea on him, and we chatted for a bit.”

Toyokawa Shoko fell silent.

After a long while, she whispered, "He is that bird."

"Huh?"

“Anwa Asuka.” Toyokawa Shoko’s eyes lit up. “A famous musician! The one who sang ‘If We Could Shine!’ He also wrote ‘Summer’!”

The girls were stunned.

"Don't you know?" Toyokawa Shoko looked at them. "He's very famous, with a lot of fans. I even went to one of his concerts before..."

Chihaya Aine's mouth dropped open.

Nagasaki Motoyo also showed a surprised expression.

Shiina Tatsuki frowned, looking thoughtfully at the figure in the corner.

Takamatsu said softly, "So it was him..."

Lena tilted her head, it was unclear whether she understood.
