ring, training room.

It was still a rainy day, and the five members of mygo!!!!! gathered in ring's training room.

"How to deal with it?"

Shiina Riki looked at the four people in front of him, his eyes sweeping over them one by one, and finally, Shiina Riki's gaze stopped on Chihaya Aine.

"Anon, didn't you check it that night? Didn't you find out there was something wrong with the chandelier?"

"No, that should be checked by the staff on site..."

"Too."

Shiina Riki nodded. Things like chandeliers should be inspected by the organizer of the venue they rented. Chihaya Aine just went to check it out that night and it had nothing to do with her.

"This is really troublesome. Public opinion about our band is so one-sided right now. Damn it, where did these people come from? Why did they suddenly show up and disrupt our band's rhythm?"

Picking up her phone and taking a look, Shiina Riki was a little exasperated. She wanted to block everyone at this moment, but because there were too many people, she found that she couldn't block them all, and the number of people on the blacklist was not enough.

"There's nothing wrong with the injured customers. They didn't suffer serious injuries. They expressed their understanding after we compensated and apologized, but..." Nagasaki Suyo sighed.

Although the injured expressed their understanding, at this point it is no longer a matter of the injured. The new band's first performance went so wrong that the online public opinion and the band's reputation have almost hit rock bottom. I don't know how many people on the Internet are waiting for mygo!!!!!! to die.

"What's that noise online?" Lu Li spoke.

"They said they wanted to punish our band, Qingsuan, and even asked us to kneel down and apologize publicly." Shiina Riki said with a stern face, "We are obviously the victims. What does the chandelier incident have to do with us?!"

"Will our apology be of any use?" asked timidly the captain Gao Songdeng, who rarely uses the Internet.

"It's useless." Lu Li shook his head. "That's not what the online geeks want to see. If we apologize, they'll just say we admit we have problems and that we're a substandard band, and then they'll just try to kick us when we're down."

"Damn it, these people are such assholes. There's no solution at all. This clearly has nothing to do with us."

Shiina Riki understood what Lu Li meant. Netizens were like this. Essentially, they just wanted to have fun. Even if the incident had nothing to do with the band, but it happened during the band's performance, then public opinion would be focused on their band.

As he said that, Shiina Riki looked at Chihaya Aine: "Hey, you, what are you talking about? Don't you like surfing the Internet? Is there nothing you can do?"

Chihaya Aine fell silent.

"Taki-chan, Anon-chan is also a victim, stop talking..." Nagasaki Suyo spoke immediately.

"..."

Shiina Riki glanced at Lu Li, then at the silent Chihaya Aine.

Well, we are all victims in this incident, so there seems to be no point in assigning blame now.

"Never mind. The worst that can happen is I can just pretend to be dead. I've seen many people escape this way."

"It's useless, at least it's useless for us this time, unless our band is no longer in business, and then the five of us will never do band-related work again." Lu Li shook his head.

"Asshole! What if we ask the people from that venue to come forward and explain? The venue's lessor has been negotiating with us about compensation. If we ask them to come forward now, they should agree, right?"

"It's useless, or rather, not very useful. The venue's lessor has already fired the person responsible for maintenance, paid compensation, and apologized. Public opinion is now on our side, making it difficult to resolve..."

......

【You are back home. 】

You're all too familiar with the band's current situation. You've encountered it before, countless simulations ago, in a simulation of your beloved woman, Toyokawa Shoko. You know, in this situation, the best approach is to find a scapegoat. As long as someone is willing to take the blame, everything will be fine.

"You're crazy. You always blame someone else. Is that something a human being can do?"

You dismissed this thought. You felt that the chandelier incident was definitely not a simple accident. The venue's lessor couldn't have failed to conduct a thorough inspection. If an accident could have occurred, there must be something seriously wrong.

"Lu Li, are you free?"

[Just when you were thinking about how to solve the problem, Chihaya Aine suddenly called you. ]

【"What's up?"】

"Lu Li, um... I want to ask you, how are you going to handle this band issue?" Chihaya's voice on the other end of the line was a little vague, sounding rather unsure.

"How do you know I'll find a way to deal with it?"

[“I’m your girlfriend, of course I know what you’re thinking…”]

"Yes, I'm definitely thinking about how to handle this. The online public opinion isn't very positive right now, and I'm considering whether to assign someone else the blame."

"Throwing someone out to take the blame?"

“It’s the same old trick. Netizens need a punching bag. Just throw someone out there to take the blame.”

"So you want to take the blame yourself?"

"That's the initial design, but I don't think it'll be used right now. I think there are some doubts about this incident."

"What's the doubt?"

"The timing of the chandelier problem is too coincidental. It makes me feel something is wrong, Anon. I have a thought. I suspect someone deliberately tampered with the chandelier, but I have no evidence. I asked the staff and they checked all the equipment before they left work. Then you went to check again at night. If someone tampered with it, the timing would be wrong."

"Lu Li, let me tell you something...don't scold me after you hear it."

【"What?"】

“Well…actually, I didn’t check that night. I ran into some classmates from junior high school, and…then I went to a party with them.”

[“Huh?! Anon, are you serious?”]

“Yes, it’s true…”

【"It's true, why didn't you say so earlier!"】

“I didn’t dare. It’s just that… I agreed to get checked, but I didn’t go. I was a little worried that everyone would be angry if they heard about it, so I didn’t tell anyone…”

“I’m not sure if I’m angry or not, but you were probably right not to go. Okay, now that you’ve said that, I know how to handle this matter. Wait for my good news!”

You felt relieved after getting the crucial evidence from Chihaya Aine. You were originally worried that if someone did it on purpose, the timing would be wrong. But if Chihaya Aine didn't go for the checkup and went to the party instead, then she would have had plenty of time.

So, you immediately chose to call the police. Today is a society ruled by law, and everyone must learn to use the weapon of law to protect themselves!

You told the police your speculation and the key evidence you obtained from Chihaya Aine. After hearing your report, the police immediately began to investigate.

[Soon, a few days passed, and while you were waiting for news, the police brought someone to find you and the band members.]

"Thank you very much for the evidence you provided. Based on the clues, we successfully apprehended the suspect."

[“This person…” Looking at the person the police were accusing, Shiina Riki was stunned for a moment, then her face froze as she thought of something: “Is it him?!”]

"Ritsuki, do you know this person?" You asked curiously after seeing Shiina Ritsuki's reaction.

"I know him. He came to me at Ring before. He said he was a fan and loved our music. He told me he wanted to join our band," Shiina Riki said with an unhappy look on his face.

"Huh, how come we didn't know about this?" Nagasaki Suyo, standing next to her, was a little surprised. She didn't know about this, and it wasn't just Nagasaki Suyo, you, Takamatsu Deng, and Chihaya Aine didn't know either.

"Because I refused. When this guy asked me to join the band, his eyes were dishonest. He kept looking at Rinrinko-senpai's chest. How could I let such a pervert join? I told him directly at the time that our band didn't need new musicians," Shiina Riki recalled.

【“…”】

You are a little speechless. You turned out to be a sex maniac.

"That's basically what happened. The suspect has confessed. He was resentful because he wasn't able to join your band, so he wanted to take revenge on you. So, he went to the venue the night before your performance and vandalized the chandelier, which led to the incident at your concert."

[The truth was revealed. The police thanked you profusely and then left with the suspect.]

[After the police left, the five members of your band looked at each other in bewilderment.]

"Lu Li, were you the one who provided the clue to the police?" Shiina Riki looked at you in surprise.

“Yes, it’s me.”

“How did you come up with that?”

"That's easy. Chandeliers normally wouldn't have problems, and the venue has already inspected them, so I think it's most likely human error. Initially, I thought someone inside the venue might have done it, but I didn't expect the person to be a psychopath."

"Lu Li, since you believe someone from the organizers was responsible, why did you then tell the police that you suspected someone else was responsible?" Nagasaki Suyo was also a little curious.

You smiled. "Well, this is because of Anon. Actually, this whole thing is all thanks to Anon."

【“anon?!” After hearing you say that, everyone’s eyes were focused on Chihaya Aine.】

"?!" Chihaya Aine panicked. "Everyone, why are you all looking at me? I didn't do anything!"

"No, Anon, this time it's really all your fault," you explained with a smile, "It's because you didn't go that I can be sure this incident was caused by someone else. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to report it."

[“!” Chihaya Aine widened her eyes: “Eh? Is this my credit?!”]

"Yes, it's all your credit." You nodded. "Because you didn't go, you actually identified a clue, which allowed me to report the case and immediately apprehend the suspect. Now that the truth is out, we just need to publicize the whole story, and the public opinion surrounding our band will be completely over."

【“!!!” Chihaya Aine was shocked: “Really!”】

"You didn't go, huh? But it's okay, thanks to you." Shiina Riki sighed.

"Yeah, it's a good thing Anon-chan didn't go." Nagasaki Motoyo also echoed.

Takamatsu Deng also nodded: "Anon, I'm so glad you're okay!"

"Huh? What does this mean?" Chihaya Aine was confused. "I didn't go, so shouldn't everyone blame me? Why are they saying it's a good thing I didn't go now?"

You explained: "Because, it's right for you not to go this time, Anon. Think about it, the criminal sneaked into the venue after the staff got off work and destroyed the chandelier. I think he went to the venue at night. So if you went at that time, there is a high probability that you would meet him alone. In that case, you might be in danger if you met him. So it's best for you not to go this time."

After hearing your explanation, Chihaya Aine suddenly realized, "That's right. So, it's right for me not to go this time?!"

"Although lying was wrong, you did the right thing this time. Humph, you avoided danger and provided Lu Li with clues. The band was able to clear everything and get rid of public opinion because of this. This time, it was truly your contribution," Shiina Riki said with some dissatisfaction.

"Anon-chan did a really great job this time!" Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and nodded.

【“!!!”】

"Everyone, Arigato!"

【Soon after, you and Chihaya Aine were walking hand in hand on the street.】

"Lu Li, thank you. If it weren't for you this time, I really wouldn't know what to do."

"This time it's all thanks to you."

"No, I'm not stupid. If you hadn't solved the problem with the chandelier and then realized it was man-made, I definitely wouldn't have let myself off the hook this time. After all, I didn't check and I was the only one who knew about it. If anything happened to the band because of this, it would be a thorn in my heart and it would hurt me forever."

"No, Anon, this time you took the initiative to tell me that you didn't go for the checkup. You did lie to everyone, but you didn't do it on purpose. We just told you that you were right not to go, and you took the initiative to tell me the truth, so at least half of the credit for saving the band this time goes to you."

"Really?! Really? Really!"

After hearing what you said, Chihaya Aine's guilty conscience gradually dissipated. Slowly, confidence emerged on her face, but she soon realized, "I know, Lu Li, you're just trying to comfort me. After all, I lied."

"It takes a lot of courage to expose your own lies." You responded with a smile.

"That was still a lie. Although the result was good, it was just luck. And it's a good thing you were here, otherwise it would have been very troublesome to deal with the band's affairs. And I know that even if I didn't tell you, you would definitely find out the truth later."

Having said that, Chihaya Aine took a deep breath and said, "From now on, I will never lie again, and I won't attend meaningless gatherings out of vanity. If there's anything, I'll tell you first."

"Indeed, just as Chihaya Aine said, even if she didn't provide any clues, you would have been able to find out later. It's just a matter of time. The reason you didn't say this is because you wanted to give the credit to Chihaya Aine, so that she would feel better."

[But Chihaya Aine admitted that she lied, and she was able to confess to you after lying, which made you really happy, because it also means that the person you like trusts you more than anyone else, and she has also grown.]

"Actually, I think a little vanity isn't a bad thing. After all, isn't your goal, Anon, to make the name of Anon Tokyo known throughout Japan?"

“No, I think Anon Tokyo is too far away for me.”

"How about changing the target?" you suggested.

"What's your goal?"

"How about Anon Earth?"

【“???”, “Isn’t this even more excessive!”】

"It's a goal anyway, so why not make it grander? Besides, I'm here with you. Who knows, maybe one day we'll even end up like Anon Earth."

[The chandelier incident came to an end.]

[The whole thing wasn't actually complicated; it was just a minor incident caused by a mental disorder. However, even such a small incident has become a rare memory between you and Chihaya Aine. In this incident, you handled everything perfectly, and Chihaya Aine also benefited greatly from this incident.]

Chapter 223 Perfect (Revised Version, Free)

[Many things are like this. Actually, as long as we talk about it, it’s not a big deal.]

[Later, you and Chihaya Aine came to Chihaya's house together, holding hands, and you finally told Chihaya Aine's parents about the marriage that you should have talked about.]

"It's a little late, but it's not bad." Chihaya Aine's father nodded. "I've read your work. It's really well written. Keep writing like a man."

"Don't listen to his nonsense. Lu Lijun, if you want to write, then write. If you don't want to, forget it. Seriously, I'll leave anon to you."

[After some pleasantries, you successfully took over the responsibility of caring for Chihaya Aine from her parents, and this time, for a lifetime.]

A few months later, you and Chihaya Aine got married in a hotel in Tokyo. You put a wedding ring on your wife, and everyone from mygo!!!!! gave you a wonderful performance at your wedding.
