Classic soul swap, but a musical

"Anyway, I quite like this kind of life, and Mu doesn't object."

"Then...what if you really want to use me as a bargaining chip? I'll be your hostage. Let Mu go."

Xiangzi stopped and spoke in a serious tone.

Ever since they parted yesterday, she had wanted to do something for Mu. At this moment, faced with the strange situation of being able to occupy someone else's body, her innate identity as a young lady was completely useless.

Then, Aragaki Ai’s “proposal” seems to be quite good.

Xiangzi felt that compared to Hemu, he was not bad at all. His family background, appearance and talent should be pleasing to him.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked her to change.

"That's a very good suggestion." Aragaki Ai's mouth corners slightly raised, and her face was reflected in her eyes.

"However, I refuse."

Ai Aragaki took another step, leaving Xiangzi with a surprised look on his face. The spring breeze in her face was very comfortable, making people want to smile.

Xiaoxiang almost thought he was going to agree, she was making the suggestion very seriously.

But what about the other party?

He fooled her again.

"Why?" Her tone was not just questioning, but mixed with a bit of anger. The person in front of her could always easily stir up her emotions.

She had forgotten all the things that she had been taught since childhood, and felt relaxed and at ease.

"Well, I prefer Mu's body. It's like a cute and pretty doll."

Aragaki Ai answered casually, and this answer made both of them stunned. He was calculating the time, and it was almost four hours, so he had to leave.

A little further ahead is the Sentoshi Bridge where you will see lights.

You can already see it.

There was no sight of the short-haired girl reaching out to grab the petals, only an empty bridge.

"The time is coming."

"Huh?" Xiaoxiang was stunned.

The next second, the person who appeared in front of him was Mu, who was as stupid as a doll.

She regained control of her body, felt the heaviness of her right hand, and looked at Xiangzi.

“saki....”

"Are you okay?" Xiangzi's expression was mixed with a hint of worry, and he took a step closer to her.

Compared with Aragaki Ai, the distance was directly eliminated and the arms of the two touched each other.

Mu shook his head.

"I'm glad you're okay." She breathed a sigh of relief and showed her signature white moonlight smile.

"Um... Mutsumi, would you like to sit up front? I want to talk to you."

"Yeah." She nodded.

The two of them came to a high-end coffee shop. Xiangzi ordered black tea as if he was familiar with the place, and asked for a glass of mango juice for Mu.

The air was filled with Liszt's dream of love. Both of them had learned piano since childhood, so it was very easy for them to distinguish the pieces. They looked at the pianist's fingering with approval.

After the waiter brought two cups of drinks, Xiangzi held the cup in his right hand and supported the bottom with his left hand, tasting the bland black tea with an elegant and dignified posture.

"Xiao Mu, I'm curious, do you really feel happier than before?"

".......Um."

Ruoye Mu's reaction is always a little slower than others. As a childhood sweetheart, Xiangzi has become accustomed to her situation.

She thought about it all and had to admit that the bad guy might be right. Mu seemed to think this situation was pretty good.

So what should she do as a friend?

Xiangzi held the bottom of the cup with his hand, and there was no sound of collision with the porcelain tray.

"Then... Mu, do you know that guy's true identity? What's his name, and where is he from?"

"........"

If Ye Mu didn't look up, the mango juice would flow into his mouth through the straw, and he didn't answer her question directly.

It seems that there is no way to get any information. That bad guy must have deceived Mu. It is normal that Mu cannot get any information.

The topic of the two people turned to the campus. Suddenly remembering that Mu had ballet class today, Xiangzi had to end the conversation and leave with Mu.

"Please help me settle the bill."

“Thank you for your patronage.”

The boy regained consciousness and was working in a convenience store. The bill that popped up in front of him was no different from before. The only thing that made him feel strange was that Mu's favorability only increased a little.

Volume 1: Chapter 9: Will You

Finding some free time, Aragaki Ai opened the game notifications and read the latest three.

【Ruoye Mu’s favorability increases by 1】

[Wakaba Mu's favorability reduced by 2]

【Wakaba Mu’s favorability increases by 2】

The number minus two appeared again, it seems that there is a problem somewhere.

If I think about it carefully, what is the difference between these two days and the previous ones? The only thing I can remember is that I came into contact with Xiangzi.

Is this the reason?

The favorability has been steadily increasing, but has a problem occurred here?

Ai Aragaki touched her chin and went back to work.

Damn part-time job. I should start working in after-school care starting tomorrow. I use the class time to slack off.

Minors are not allowed to work for more than four hours, and he has exactly four hours of custody time.

The next day, when school was almost over.

In the Moon Forest, the get out of class ends at almost the same time on both sides. In Aragaki Ai's sight, there is the schoolbag that is about to be packed and the white wrist reaching into the schoolbag.

He didn't know what to take, so he could only pause briefly over each item to listen to whether Mu would make a "hmm" sound.

This prolonged the time it took to pack our schoolbags. People around us left one after another, leaving only a few small groups of people chatting and laughing.

I don't know why, but it seems like someone is always looking at him, and he always feels uncomfortable.

He walked along the corridor of the Moon Forest to help Mu water the cucumbers, thinking about his next move.

If touching the light is a low-probability event, then Su Shi is a high-probability triggering of the plot.

Until Xiangzi came to the garden to look for him, he had not seen Ms. Nagasaki Suyo. Only a few students passed by the garden, and they were not familiar with each other.

"Xiao Mu, let's go back together?"

"Okay." Aragaki Ai turned around. As long as he didn't pretend to be Mu, Xiangzi could easily tell the difference between the two people based on his familiarity with Mu.

She realized that the person in front of her was not Mu, and her attitude became a little cold, and the topic naturally turned to the band.

"You haven't found a member yet? Do you want me to find one?"

"I didn't find it." Aragaki Ai was very calm. She stood side by side with her, keeping a distance of a ruler between them. It was a little closer than last time, but not much closer.

He casually threw the schoolbag over his shoulder, turned his palms outward with his palms facing upwards, clasped the handles with his four fingers, and rested his thumbs naturally on them, "carrying" the schoolbag in the most labor-saving way.

Since Xiangzi took the initiative to bring it up, let her help. It's her band, her crychic.

"You can come and find me. Do you know Shiina Maki? I don't know her, but I'm a little interested in her sister Shiina Riki. I think she could be a drummer."

"Shiina Maki, I seem to have some impression of her. I will try to contact her."

Xiangzi's eyes drifted diagonally upwards, as if searching for this person in his memory, and then his emotions suddenly paused, and his attention shifted to the second person, asking him.

"Hmm? Shiina Riki? Is he someone you know?"

"Are you trying to guess my identity from this?" Aragaki Ai smiled. "I'm sorry to disappoint you. They don't know me, but I think she's a good fit."

"Really?" Xiangzi didn't ask any further questions.

The two of them walked to Qiandengshi Bridge again, but still did not see the girl with short hair.

It is a low-probability event. Aragaki Ai has already prepared to go home with Xiangzi for several days in a row. Such a wonderful scene must not be missed.

After separating from Xiangzi, Aragaki Ai returned to Wakaba's house, walked into the basement alone, and chose the guitar bonus.

The game upgraded his guitar skill to level three. According to past experience, level one is for beginners, level two is enough to play classic songs like "Chengdu", and level three is the level of an ordinary enthusiast.

Ai Aragaki guarded the strings with her left hand, played a simple solo, and began to practice.

"Xiao Mu, I'm counting on you."

I spent almost all four hours playing the piano, and soon it was time to leave.

He put the guitar back on the stand, ordered a glass of lemonade, and took a short break, staring at the rows of albums, which should all be Mu's collection.

"Love.....is progressing so quickly."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that Mu's voice was a little lost. Isn't it a good thing to make rapid progress?

"It's still not stable enough, especially the rhythm." Aragaki Ai smiled, "I still need Mu Duoduo to teach me."

"Yes, I will." The longer she spent with Ai, the more interested she became in him. She just didn't know how to start the conversation. She couldn't ask him naturally like Xiangzi did.

Taking the opportunity of practicing guitar, she finally found a way to speak and ask him.

"Love, why do you want to practice guitar?"

"well.....?"

The voice was stretched out, and Aragaki Ai thought about it. Many ideas flashed through her mind in an instant, such as reading music books, watching girl band animations, and thinking that playing the guitar was cool. In the end, she settled on the most appropriate statement.

He rested his chin on his palm, curled his four fingers naturally, and spoke in a light-hearted and cheerful tone.

"Because of Xiao Mu."

"Because... me?"

Mu hesitated. She was worried that love was a joke. Once she had expectations, there would be a gap.

"Well, because I want to see Xiao Mu happily playing metal. Is it fun to play music?"

"Never been happy before..."

Mu's answer was consistent with his impression of Sword Lady, but this was also normal.

She was forced to learn ballet and piano, and her parents never asked her what she liked or what her hobbies were.

Aragaki Ai: "Then you will definitely be happy in the future. Don't you like metal very much? Don't worry, you will play in a metal band with Saki in the future."

Mu realized that there was something wrong with what he said, but he said nothing and just sat there as a wooden man.

"Well, anyway, let's just say that I think Mu-chan, who plays metal, is cool."

Aragaki Ai smiled, "But it's really strange that Xiao Mu would ask me such a question."

“…I want to understand love.”

The time interval between responses was very long, and I wonder how long Mu had been brewing this question.

Aragaki Ai didn't ask why, he knew Mu wouldn't answer, this sentence was already the limit.

First time taking the initiative!

This was the first time that Mu had his own consciousness and wanted to do something.

Why is there such a change?
