Classic soul swap, but a musical

"Do you want me to lie?" Xiangzi's cheeks puffed up slightly, looking very cute.

He nodded. "No? Then, just say someone gave you the note and asked you to pass it on to Mutsumi. That wouldn't count as a lie, right?"

".......What are you talking about?" The blue-haired succubus tilted her head, feeling the same as before.

If you think about it carefully, it is indeed not a lie.

Just don't mention Aragaki Ai.

He half-knelt down, petted the cat, and said to Xiangzi, "It's just omitting some information, which doesn't count as lying. Or, if you switch the order of events, you can avoid lying and form a different narrative."

"Are you teaching me to lie?" Xiangzi widened his eyes, feeling a little bit unbelievable.

He didn't look up, just spoke softly.

"You'll need it later."

"No!" Xiangzi refused immediately, but then she thought that Aragaki Ai might have come back from the future, and maybe she would really need it, so she fell silent again.

Ai Aragaki smiled and said, "Let's go, it's not long before rehearsal, don't bump into Xiao Mu."

"Oh." Xiangzi still felt something was wrong, but she just didn't know what was wrong.

The cat who observed everything found it interesting and Kaname showed her classic cat smile.

The two of them separated. Aragaki Ai found a high place nearby where she could clearly see the way into the rehearsal room. She could see that Xiaoxiang did not go up directly, but chose to wait for Mu downstairs.

The blue-haired succubus bit her lips lightly, her hands holding the note were slightly sweaty, and she really wanted to open it and see what was written inside.

However, the character she developed since childhood prevented her from doing such a thing, and she was tormented in her heart.

Ai Aragaki was still a little worried about Mu, so she didn't want to leave, otherwise she would have run to play with the cat a long time ago.

After waiting for a long time, until the last moment of the agreed time, a girl with long light green hair walked towards us from the other end of the street like a doll.

She was alone, the guitar on her shoulder was so heavy, the effects box in her hands was so heavy, her head was tilted, and her figure was lonely.

Her eyes were red, as if she had just cried, her nose was sniffling, and her mouth was pouting.

It looks so aggrieved.

Xiao Mutou didn't wait for him and thought that he might be delayed. Maybe after crychic's rehearsal is over, Ai will come.

This is the first time in so many days.

If he didn't show up at the agreed time, it must be that something happened to him, and he wasn't deliberately not coming.

Like self-hypnosis, I kept reminding myself in my mind, causing tears to well up in the corners of my eyes, again and again.

She kept her head down, so she didn't see Xiangzi. It was the white Xiangzi who first noticed her.

"Mutsumi-chan, this way."

To be honest, when she saw Ruoye Mu, the Blue Succubus was really relieved in her heart. Fortunately, he arrived on time, otherwise she would think that Mu skipped crychic's rehearsal because of that bad guy.

Fortunately, Mu was still the childhood sweetheart she was familiar with, and would not easily shirk his promises.

Hearing the familiar voice, she subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. After a brief eye contact with Xiangzi, she immediately lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, looking a little flustered.

Maybe... she didn't expect that someone would be waiting for her downstairs, and Ruo Yemu almost wanted to run away.

"Wait a minute, Mutsumi-chan."

Xiangzi came down the stairs in a rather ladylike trot and grabbed the sleeve of the girl with long light green hair.

She bit her lip and handed the note over.

"That bad guy gave it to you."

"Oh?" Ruoye Mu's expression was dull, his pupils slightly dilated, and his lips slightly parted.

Xiangzi walked up to her, took hold of her wrist, easily opened her fingers, and stuffed the note into her palm, pressing them together tightly.

"Take it away quickly, Deshiwa, I can't bear it any longer, I also want to see what's inside."

"Ah."

Ruoye Mu held the note, which he had only folded twice, so he opened it easily.

[Sorry, I have some problems here and can't come today. I will explain it to you in detail tomorrow. Don't worry. - Love]

Her slightly parted lips slowly closed, the corners of her mouth flattened, and it was obvious that her mood had calmed down.

Although she didn't know what was wrong, Ai found a way to inform her.

No, I don't want her.

Seeing Mu's mood gradually stabilize, Xiangzi suddenly felt a little relieved - ah, Mu also made friends other than her.

But, is that bad guy so important to Mu?

If only it weren't that bad guy.

Xiangzi suddenly caught a glimpse of the note. Although it was just a glimpse out of the corner of her eye and it was not intentional, so she couldn't see clearly what was written on it, but she did see the signature of the message.

That bad guy who was full of lies and taught her to cheat.

Is that what it's called love?

Did Mu know this before?

Xiangzi didn't intend to think about those things. Xiaomu, who was gradually recovering, was obviously more important.

"How do you feel, Xiaomu?"

"fine......."

If Ye Mu's condition had really improved a lot, she was very worried that if Crychic didn't come after the rehearsal, he might not want her anymore.

Now we have the confirmed news that he will come as usual tomorrow, but he has something to do today.

After getting the exact news, it was as if a taut string suddenly broke. My body suddenly relaxed and I felt like I couldn't hold on any longer.

"mutsumi!"

The girl who fell into Xiangzi's arms was completely supported after hearing a scream.

This time Xiangzi was really frightened. He supported her body with his arms and pulled her into the rehearsal room.

In the corridor, Ruoye Mu finally recovered. She pursed her lips, held Xiangzi's hand, held the note in the other hand, and asked softly.

"Where did you get that.....saki."

“…” It was Xiangzi’s turn to hesitate, but she still used the method that Aragaki Ai told her.

"Someone came over and gave it to me, and asked me to pass it on to you."

"Oh." Ruo Ye Mu really wanted to know whether that person was love, so she stopped and walked into the rehearsal room.

She looked at Xiangzi, her eyes full of expectation and her voice a little excited.

"is it him?"

"...Just sent a note."

Xiangzi felt that his voice was trembling a little when he said these few short words, just like what the bad guy said, if it was exposed that he had access to other girls' bodies, Mu would probably be very sad.

This is for Harmony's sake, not for him.

What the liar taught was indeed very useful. He didn't lie, but it produced different results.

Mu Mo remained silent, his long light green hair hanging down to the side, covering his face and making it impossible to see his expression.

The two of them had already reached the door of the rehearsal room, and Nagasaki Suyo happened to push the door open and saw them.

"Ah? Why don't you go in from the door?" She smiled and pulled the two people into the rehearsal room.

Volume 1: Chapter 42: Promise

After being pulled into the room by Su Shi, Xiangzi helped Mu connect the effects pedal and speakers and started today's rehearsal.

only........

Today's rehearsal was a mess. In the past, it was just Takamatsu Deng who couldn't sing, but the coordination of the instruments was fine.

Xiangzi and Hemu's abilities are more than enough for a student band, Lixi really wants to play the drums well, and although Sushi is not very good, he can do his essential work well.

But today, not only was Takamatsu Deng unable to sing, he couldn't even sing the lyrics clearly using the microphone. Even the usually stable Wakaba Mutsu had problems.

After playing several wrong chords in succession, Shiina Riki stopped, and as the sound of the drum faded away, everyone else turned their eyes to her.

"Can we continue today?"

“…” Ruo Yemu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Huh? If you have a problem, just speak up. Don't waste everyone's time."

Shiina Riki began to consider what Xiangzi said, otherwise there was no way to explain why there was such a big difference between the rehearsal and the party.

After witnessing Xiangzi's second-year narrative, she no longer believed in the existence of another soul and thought that Mu had problems such as split personality.

Xiao Mutou was under pressure and didn't say anything. She just stood there alone. It was Xiangzi who explained for her.

"Mutsumi-chan wasn't feeling well, but she should be okay now, right?"

"Yeah." She nodded.

"Hmph." Shiina Riki didn't continue talking. He used actions instead of words and started playing the drums from the beginning.

Gao Songdeng listened to everyone's quarrel and couldn't sing anymore. He thought he had problems too.

Outside the rehearsal room, the sound of wind blowing through leaves.

Yao Lenai watched the whole process and took it all in. It was not until the two figures disappeared from the building that he realized that he could control his body.

"interesting."

She gave a cat-like smile, felt in her pocket, and suddenly realized something.

The man offered to exchange it for a matcha parfait, but he used her money.

The cat was stunned.

"Bad guy!"

At the same time, in the rental house on the other side, has the work been completed?

【game over】

[Game Rating: Good]

[Rewards: 1 points, Agile Cat Level ]

【Points: 590】

[Matchable object: Ruoye Mu (favorability: 68)]

【Note: Players do not have space to save new matches.】

Looking at the room with only a bed and a desk, Aragaki Ai's last memory was the pitiful figure of Xiao Mutou. Then the game time was up and he was forced to quit the game.

Thinking back to that lost expression, I felt like vomiting my internal organs.

Ai Aragaki went to pour a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. Not only did she not feel better, she felt even worse.

Does he care so much about Mu?

It felt like he cared more about it than he thought, but it just happened every day so he didn't feel the slightest bit of discomfort.

I really can't bear to see that expression.

I observed the favorability for a long time. Almost every few minutes, I would open the game system to see if there was any change in the favorability. I didn't sleep much all night and would occasionally wake up to check the notifications and the game system.

Until the next morning, I didn't see any notification of loss of favorability. It seems that the note worked.

The next morning, he opened the game and wanted to go directly to find Mu, but he saw an apology letter.
