Finally, I became their white moonlight

"Mom, do you remember?"

"That day, I encountered a robber at the entrance of the supermarket. A boy knocked him down handsomely, and then..."

The mother and daughter snuggled up to each other, ate hot seafood porridge, and talked about his and her ups and downs, which had already come to an end.

The night is gentle and the lights are bright.

Neon lights flicker in this city.

Volume 149: Chapter Chapter The Eve of the End and Beginning

The midsummer sun rotates several times.

From July to August, the pace of time has not stopped for anyone; every time a page of the calendar is torn off, the repetitive daily routine will begin again.

Through the dusk, through the night, through the dawn.

Until the morning sun shines warmly on your face.

When Ming Hai opened his eyes from a deep sleep again, he couldn't help but sigh like this -

"Today, I still have to live well."

-

Maybe there is something we should thank the system for.

On the night of the training camp, the way of death written on the "Death Plan" made Ming Hai roughly understand when he would die.

The shadow of death always loomed over his head, as if someone was poking his butt with a clock hand, forcing him to move towards the finish line as quickly as possible.

——But after getting used to it, it’s actually nothing.

At least you don't have to live in fear, afraid that something will fall from the sky or an out-of-control truck will suddenly appear on the street, making your life feel like "Final Destination".

For someone who has died once, the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

With the word "death" written on one's head, one can foresee when the guillotine of fate will fall, which gives one more time to prepare. Even though it is a plot-driven death and there is no way to counterattack or resist, the feeling of watching the slow countdown of life makes one feel heavy.

But Ming Hai can still smile. He can still happily enjoy his busy and peaceful daily life, being lazy, making arrangements, and executing everything he wants to do in an orderly manner.

As long as you raise your head, your eyes will always be able to see through the shadows and look towards the still clear sky tomorrow.

There was a sentence he liked very much, and he would use it to encourage himself almost every morning, especially when he was getting closer to death:

“Chase your dreams as if you live forever, and live as if you die today.”

Although Ming Hai has no dreams, he can protect the dreams of the people he loves and is willing to give everything he has left in his life for this.

He was very fortunate to have met those five people, to have met Toyokawa Shoko, and to have had so many memorable times.

On the road of protecting the dream of [CryCHIC], he lives happier than anyone else.

-

Of course, this does not mean that Ming Hai has not encountered any difficulties during this period.

For example, he tried to knit a second pair of headbands as gifts, but due to his busy schedule, he didn't have time, and there were some problems with the machine and materials, so he only knitted one.

Although it was possible to give one as a gift, he thought about it carefully and finally decided not to give the hairband to Xiangzi. Instead, he put it in a secret place that only he knew.

How should I put it...like an Easter egg?

If his actions in arranging his funeral were useful, it might bring her a little surprise and comfort, right?

In addition, there was a surprise that was going to be performed on the day of the Summer Music Festival, which also caused him a lot of trouble.

It has nothing to do with ability. As a helpless 15-year-old boy with nothing but looks, talent and money, he often has to face the situation of having the ability but nowhere to use it.

Basically, after the contact person knew his age and what he wanted to do, he would either treat him as a chuunibyou who called in to cause trouble, or he would only talk to his guardian about the next business.

——All his information was created by the system, but the system didn’t give him a real guardian. Who could he talk to?

Ming Hai was so angry that his voice dropped. He gave up the idea of ​​communicating with the other party and just threw the money without saying anything.

Money makes the world go round. As long as you spend enough money, you don’t believe that these capitalist running dogs won’t shut up and do your job.

"The money is here. If you don't do it, there are plenty of people who will!"

As soon as these words were spoken, satisfactory results were achieved.

No one asked about his age anymore, and naturally there were enthusiastic people who arranged everything for him. He just had to check the results regularly - any doubts and distrust would disappear under the pressure of money.

As for him, who basically doesn't actively make money and only lives on the daily task funds given by the system, where on earth does he get such a large amount of liquid assets...

It's very simple. Every day, I transfer the money in the bank card given by the system to other bank cards. The amount accumulated in this way alone is more than 90 million yen.

Not to mention that he would occasionally play with stocks and make some overseas investments - even if he ate, drank, and had fun every day and spent money without restraint, the amount in his bank card had already exceeded 100 million, enough for him to charter a cruise ship and party on it for ten days and ten nights.

Now it was just a matter of arranging a little surprise at the summer music festival, so naturally there was no pressure. He even wanted to use money to put himself in the decision-making level of the music festival and bring some convenience to [CryCHIC].

Unfortunately, there is no way out, and I have no place to use my strength, so I have no choice but to give up.

-

When talking about [CryCHIC], we have to mention the girls' recent movements.

First up is Nagasaki Suyo.

To Ming Hai's surprise, even after he sent those comforting messages, the girl, whose fever had subsided, still had not gotten over the pain of losing love, and had no intention of taking the initiative to return to being friends with him.

——Since then, Nagasaki Suyo chose to keep her distance from him.

I no longer go to his room to do housework, nor do I share various daily interesting things on LINE from time to time like I used to.

The last message in their chat history was sent by her in a polite tone on the morning when her fever subsided:

"I have recovered. Thank you for your care."

The chance of them meeting by chance in various places had also unknowingly dropped to the bottom.

Even when she went to the rehearsal room to visit them, Nagasaki Suyo never took the initiative to greet her, always acting as if nothing happened, and only perfunctorily gave them a sweet smile without sincerity when she had to.

Just like the well-known class couple, who broke up one day and, in order to avoid embarrassment, stopped talking to each other and ignored each other until graduation...

Ming Hai could understand why she felt this way, so even though he felt a little upset, he didn't plan to change anything and reluctantly accepted the fact that the two of them were drifting apart.

Not to mention that he was almost dead, if he got closer to her now, it would really be harmful to her... Even if he just took Xiangzi's feelings into consideration, he shouldn't take the initiative to do this.

Well, that's all for now.

Whether for Su Shi who made the decision, or for Xiangzi who trusted him - perhaps, this is the most suitable ending for them.

Fortunately, Nagasaki Motoyo did not bring this estrangement to the orchestra, and still practiced "Haruhi Shadow" with everyone happily.

Next is Toyokawa Shoko.

She finished producing the entire song "Haruhi Shadow" in just three days, and she quickly demonstrated her leadership as a band leader. After Takamatsu Tomori and Shiina Tachibana returned to the team, she directly booked a practice room and devoted herself to practice almost every day, pushing everyone to constantly strive for improvement.

In order to train Deng's courage, she even took her out for road performances from time to time; and when Xiangzi went, Ruoye Mu would naturally follow with his electric guitar, not to mention Shiina Riki who was worried about Deng and directly went with his easy-to-carry electronic drums, the main purpose of which was to create a chain effect.

In the end, Nagasaki Motoyo, who didn't want to be abandoned by everyone, had no choice but to follow them on the roadshow, which directly made [CryCHIC] one of the most famous sceneries on the streets of Ikebukuro during this period.

The number of various submissions and fans increased rapidly as a result. After they announced that they would perform at the Summer Music Festival, many fans said that they would go to Chiba just to watch their performance.

This made Toyokawa Shoko even more excited, and she was eager to respond to everyone's expectations. If Ming Hai hadn't stepped on the brakes in time, she might have devoted herself to practice and directly turned into a member of the Crazy Band, and started to be in a state of stress that fluctuated between good and bad, like Takamatsu Deng.

As for how to brake...

After being pulled into a corner and kissed randomly and touched all over, she couldn't think of anything, so naturally she didn't have the energy to put pressure on others.

There was not much to say about the other people. They were still making intensive preparations for the Summer Music Festival as usual.

To be honest, when it comes to band affairs, Ming Hai might be busier than them since they practice almost every day.

In addition to being in charge of the social networking site, he also serves as CryCHIC's agent, liaising with the organizers of the summer music festival and planning the itinerary. He has to go to Chiba from time to time to do chores such as confirming the venue in advance, arranging equipment, and even dealing with other performing bands on their behalf.

These things are not difficult, but they are more troublesome, and it is easy for some unspeakable accidents to happen - for example, he was almost dragged by the big sisters in other bands to drink, and because he accidentally exposed his abdominal muscles, they touched him all over.

Fortunately, he is a man of integrity and has a strong sense of moral integrity. He also talks on the phone with his girlfriend for an hour every night, so he can always find a chance to leave.

Otherwise, that night, he would not have stuffed the group of older sisters into a taxi one by one and sent them back, but they would have woken up together in a nearby hotel...

Looking back suddenly, such a peaceful yet busy daily life is so wonderful that he can't forget it even if he wants to.

Time passed like this minute by minute.

Just like the monthly exams held regularly after school starts, even though we hope time will go by more slowly, the day to write down the scores for past efforts will eventually come.

——There is still one day left until the Summer Music Festival.

At Ming Hai's suggestion, the girls stopped their daily practice that could not make any more progress. In order to relax and adjust their state, they all went to a nearby amusement park and prepared to have a good time all day.

As the head of [CryCHIC], Ming Hai naturally took the lead and waited for everyone to gather at the station early in the morning.

The sky is gloomy and gray, the summer heat wave seems to have died down, and it is the turn of the autumn wind to blow.

"Is the typhoon coming soon..."

Ming Hai glanced at the weather forecast, then looked at the sky that seemed like it would never clear up, and his brows unconsciously frowned.

His plan could easily be affected by the weather. If it really rained and was windy, it would be almost impossible to carry out the surprise, not to mention anything else.

There is no need to worry about the music festival. Although it is close to the sea, the typhoon this time is not big enough to cause a tsunami, so even if the weather is bad on that day, the organizer will directly implement the rain preparation plan so that everyone can wear raincoats and hold umbrellas to have fun together.

Considering that he could only make it rain candies at best, and didn't have the ability to clear the weather with a single clasp of his hands, Ming Hai quickly put this worry behind him and slowly relaxed his brows.

Five minutes before the gathering time, five beautiful young girls finally came side by side; they were lively and noisy all the way, until they saw him who seemed to have been waiting for a long time in front of the station, then they shifted their attention from each other to him, and greeted him in sweet voices.

"Mr. Narumi, have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Murami-kun..."

"Tsk, what's with that expression on your face? We're not late, you just came too early."

"……Good morning."

"..."

Ming Hai put down his phone and answered Shiina Riki's question first: "Yes, you are right, it's my fault for arriving thirty minutes early. I won't do that next time."

Then he handed the five cups of coffee in his hand to Xiangzi and asked her to distribute them.

"The Yuze Cafe opened early today, so I bought some drinks for you. You all know what you're drinking, right?"

"Thank you, Ming Hai-kun!" Toyokawa Shoko smiled happily, and regardless of the gazes of her friends around her, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek as a reward.

After dating for more than a month, the young couple became more and more bold in their affection, which always made others feel sore and as if they were being fed with dog food.

"Let me see... Dimbulla milk tea, Earl Grey tea, orange juice, Yuze blended coffee... Narumi-kun, you remember our tastes so clearly."

"Of course, I'm your manager after all." Ming Hai didn't care about his girlfriend's teasing. After watching them each grab their favorite drinks, he asked, "Did you guys go to Xiangzi's house to gather first and then come here together?"

"Yes, someone said that he wanted to check our attire carefully before we set off, so we went to Xiangzi's house to gather first." Shiina Riki took a sip of coffee and pursed her lips awkwardly at him, "Well, thank you for the coffee... To be honest, I originally planned to gather earlier, but someone had to find fault with our attire, which wasted a lot of time."

"Lixi-chan, if you have any opinions about me, you can just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush." ​​Nagasaki Suyo turned around and smiled at her. Her tone was like a rose, gentle yet thorny. "So you think that what I do for everyone is just a waste of effort?"

"Isn't that natural?" Shiina Riki said bluntly, "We're just hanging out together, not dating anyone, so why do we have to dress up?"

She had originally gone out wearing a short-sleeved shirt and long pants, a casual outfit for everyday use. However, when she arrived at Xiangzi's house, this guy smiled and mocked her, saying, "You really look like a boy. This is not okay." Then she began to adjust her clothes all over.

What earrings, what light makeup, what outfits to wear... Does that have anything to do with them just coming out to relax? Even if there is a boy in the team, then only Xiangzi should pay attention to his appearance, right?

"Clothing and appearance are also part of the band's performance. Sloppy and rustic outfits will only make [CryCHIC] look unpresentable... As a band member, you can't not remember this point quickly, okay?" Nagasaki Motoyo snorted, and suddenly pulled Takamatsu Deng who was hiding at the side, and let the little animal girl stagger in front of Shiina Riki, "Come, this is our lead singer. If she is going to sing on stage now... will you still say that my work is in vain?"

"Lixi-chan..."

Her short grey hair had been carefully styled, she exuded a pleasant fragrance, and her face was fairer and cuter than usual. Takamatsu Deng looked up at her with moist eyes and a bit of helplessness.

Shiina Riki's face turned red and he was instantly defeated.

Volume 150: Chapter Chapter Earthy Love Talk, Labor Pains, and Roller Coaster

From Minghai's perspective, the carefully dressed girls were indeed an eye-opener.

Especially Wakaba Mutsu, her long light green hair was tied into a pair of ponytails, and her clothes were mostly lace lolita skirts. Her temperament could be said to be more childish and lovely than ever.

Just like an elementary school student who doesn't like to talk, she just follows the older sisters quietly and obediently. However, her child star-like presence cannot be lost among the crowd, which further highlights her uniqueness.

——Those eyes that had lost their luster, as if they had been toyed with to the point of losing their souls, were probably the price she paid?

She was forced into a deal by a dress-up demon named Nagasaki Suyo...and perhaps there was also Xiangzi who added fuel to the fire and treated Wakaba Mutsu like a dress-up doll together with her.

Ming Hai made a cross in his heart and silently offered his blessing to the miserable doll girl, hoping that she could use this as motivation to have a good day.
