"Eh, a live performance?"
After school, the four of them went to RiNG as if it were only natural, except that Aine deliberately distanced herself from Hanami.
After an afternoon of adjustment, Ai Yin's mood has improved a bit. Although she is still very sad, she has recovered. She has always been an optimistic person and believes that things will definitely get better.
However, when Takamatsu Akari mentioned that MYGO would be performing that night, Aine exclaimed in surprise.
Gao Songdeng tilted her head in confusion again. She had the feeling that only she and Maomao in the whole band were seriously making music.
But that's a live performance, a live performance! Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like doing live performances?
After a slight delay, Aine finally remembered, and Su Shi couldn't help but complain, "You didn't completely forget, did you?"
"Haha, how could that be? I was just spacing out. I was practicing properly, don't worry," Aine said, trying to sound tough.
"Eh, really?" Su Shi said in a teasing tone. Although she herself had forgotten, it didn't stop her from teasing the pink-haired girl.
Just as Aine was about to continue emphasizing that she was fine, everyone heard a familiar voice.
"Xi, Xiaodeng, over here!" Then, the four of them saw that Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu were standing at the school gate for some reason.
Because she was wearing the school uniform of Tsukinomori, she attracted the attention of many girls from Haneoka.
"Ah, isn't that the daughter of comedian Takafumi Wakaba and Minami Mori? She's so cute, just like a doll."
But when one of the girls said that, they saw that Wakaba Mutsu, who had previously looked like a doll, was raising a V sign at them expressionlessly, which frightened the girls so much that they ran away.
"Why did you all come here?" Banami asked.
"I've come to pick you up from school," Xiangzi said, naturally taking Banami's arm, and there was nothing wrong with her doing so.
When Takamatsu saw Saki-chan like this, she just blinked without any particular feeling. Suze, on the other hand, snorted. This wasn't someone coming to pick him up from school; it was clearly the main heroine coming to forcefully claim her position.
Ai Yin gently pursed her lips, her tongue seeming to taste a little bitter.
"Just kidding. I remembered Xiaodeng telling me that MYGO has a live show tonight, so I brought Xiaomu over," Xiangzi said in a lighthearted tone.
LIVE......
"We'll do our best for tonight's live performance!"
Suddenly, to everyone's surprise, Aine spoke very seriously.
Whether it was Xiangzi, Su Shi, or Banami, they all looked at Aine with some surprise.
“Anon-chan…” Takamatsu Akari looked at her with some concern.
Aine looked at Hanami and said, "I will...do my best."
So please watch my live performance today.
She will use today's live performance to make a final decision and commemorate her first love that died in the womb.
Chapter Eighteen: Failure! Failure! Failure!
Shiina Riki teases Kaname Rakuna with a matcha candy at the entrance of RiNG.
Just as the cat was about to get the candy, it pulled back. The child wasn't angry at all; he just kept trying to get the candy from her hand.
"Seriously, do they even remember they're having a live show today?"
Shiina Tatsuki complained that she felt like she was going to explode with pressure every time she held a live performance, fearing that something unexpected might happen.
After all, the more serious a person is, the more likely they are to suffer losses, and Shiina Tatsuki is a perfect example of this.
"Riki, we haven't forgotten, it's still early..."
Then, Lixi heard the voice of the pink-haired girl. When she turned around, she found that there were three more people inexplicably.
"Hana, Shoko, and Komu, what are you doing here?" Riki asked, somewhat surprised.
To be honest, the last time I saw all three of them at the same time was when Xiangxi got engaged.
"I remembered you guys had a live performance today, so I came to cheer you on. What, aren't you welcome?" Xiangzi said casually, if you ignored the fact that she was leaning against Banami.
Li hope scoffed inwardly, "You're probably just here to assert your dominance, aren't you?"
But in that brief moment, her fingers felt something wet.
“Ohm...”
"Ugh, you stray cat, why did you eat again? What will you do when your stomach hurts on stage later!" Li hope shouted in annoyance after being ambushed.
"No, the candy is stored in the 2D stomach." Kaname Rakuna showed a satisfied expression.
"Really..." Li hope complained, then looked at everyone, deliberately avoiding eye contact with Banami.
"Alright, now that we're here, let's go backstage and prepare for today's live performance," Li hope said.
The three nodded slightly, especially Aine, who looked particularly serious.
Xiangzi watched the MYGO members walk into RiNG, his feelings quite complicated.
"What's wrong? Are you lonely?" Banami asked.
Seeing his former teammates form a close-knit group, Xiangzi couldn't help but feel sad.
"The bitterness has come, but it's over." The person who said this was Xiao Mu.
She looked at everyone in MYGO and spoke in a flat, monotone voice.
"Hmm..." Xiangzi let out a soft groan.
Banami thought to herself, "Little cucumber, you know how to rub salt into Xiaoxiang's wounds."
"So, SAKI, let's form an even more amazing band."
But what Xiaoguahuang said next surprised Xiangzi greatly.
She widened her eyes slightly as she looked at Xiao Mu, even though Xiao Mu had rejected her before.
Soon, Xiangzi's expression hardened: "Yes, let's form an even better band."
After saying that, Jianyi Xiang pulled Xiao Mu forward, but then Banai Jian said, "The Galactic Battleship?"
Xiangzi almost fell flat on his face.
Don't say that word to her anymore; she gets PTSD just hearing "galactic battleship" now.

"Eh, so Su Shi is also an exchange student at Yuuqiu now?" Li hope looked at the other person with some surprise after changing into her performance outfit.
"It's just a short-term exchange program, but it's nice to be able to walk home with Xiaodeng and the others," Su Shi said with a smile. Of course, she wouldn't say that she was there to keep an eye on Minato Pink.
For some reason, Lixi seemed to have suffered a deep blow.
Then why am I the only one in Hanasaki River?
"Damn it, I should have just promoted directly to Yuqiu back then!" The more Lixi thought about it, the more she felt she had lost out.
But the next moment, the cat gently patted Lixi's shoulder and said in a deliberately old-fashioned voice, "It's okay, I'm not in Yuqiu either."
“I haven’t stooped so low as to need your comfort, you stray cat!” Lixi said, annoyed.
However, upon closer reflection, with Yuuki and Banami still around, Riki really doesn't want to go over there right now.
Finally, Aine, dressed in her performance outfit, came out, but somewhat unexpectedly, she went straight to Kaname's side.
"Um, Renai-chan....."
"?" Yoro Nai was slightly puzzled.
"Can I do the guitar solo for today's new song?"
Aine's words surprised everyone, including Riki.
Anong usually tries to be lazy whenever possible, but she happened to meet Maomao, a live performance fanatic, which suited her perfectly.
This was the first time Aine had ever volunteered to solo.
"Sure."
"I'll buy you matcha... uh? Is that okay? You don't need me to buy you a matcha parfait?" Aine said, somewhat surprised.
"You have a fun, girly vibe about you right now." The cat's lips curled up.
She seemed to know nothing, yet her wild, cat-like intuition allowed her to directly understand people's emotions.
Aine clenched her fist slightly, looked at the remaining three—Nagasaki Motoyo, Takamatsu Akari, and Shiina Tatsuki—and said, "Let's do our best tonight!"
It's rare to see Anon-chan, this chosen working woman, so full of passion.
But for some reason, Lixi and Sushi seemed to understand each other's feelings at that moment.
In particular, the scene of Banami and Shoko holding hands just now, although no one said anything, left a strange feeling in their hearts.
They seemed to understand why Ai-yin had specifically asked the cat to give her the solo spot today.
Especially Su Shi, she never expected that Aine would make such a choice.
"Go for it, Anon-chan! I'll do my best too," Takamatsu Akari said sincerely, looking at Aine.

"Did something happen between you and Chihaya-san today?"
Standing in the front row of the audience below the stage, Xiangzi couldn't help but ask.
"Huh, what are you saying?"
Banami looked surprised, but the image of Aine looking like a frightened deer when she was seen changing clothes flashed through her mind.
"Hmph, playing dumb," Xiao Xiang scoffed.
Actually, she wasn't quite sure, but since the system had already conducted this field research, she didn't believe that nothing had happened all day.
"They're out," Banami said quickly, looking at the stage.
Although he gave the guy a chance to change the subject, Xiangzi couldn't help but look at the MYGO members who were coming from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.
The audience reaction to RiNG also seemed quite enthusiastic.
After all, MYGO has been established for some time, has had several stage performances, and has its own fans.
Holding the microphone with both hands, Takamatsu Akari said, "Thank you everyone for watching our live performance. We have very, very important friends here today, so we'll do our best. Let's all do our best together..."
RiNG's audience looked at Takamatsu Akari with tolerant eyes; they were already familiar with the eccentric vocalist of this girl with a strange speaking style.
"Next up is our new song, 'Walking with the Blue Sky,' which I wrote for Anon-chan. Saki-chan, and Hanami-kun, please watch us and Anon-chan's performance."
Takamatsu said sincerely.
Both Xiangxi and the other person in the audience were surprised.
“Stealing from Zero-chan…” Aine stared blankly at the other person, then gripped her guitar tightly and looked at the two people below the stage, especially Yanami.
Tonight is her farewell performance; she will use this new song written for her by Xiaodeng to say goodbye to her relationship.
Therefore, I absolutely cannot fail. I must perform well for Hanami-kun.
This song starts with an electric guitar. Originally, the intro was started by the lead guitarist, Maomao, but today, Aiyin took the initiative to take that position.
It must succeed.
But the more Aine thought about it, the more nervous she became.
Her head began to turn white, and images related to Banami kept appearing in her mind.
That day, she chased after the departing couple on her bicycle and unexpectedly witnessed their engagement. Also at noon, she was caught changing clothes by them...
Instantly, her mind went blank.
But their fingertips were already strumming the guitar strings, and Lixi's drummer and Su Shi's bassist were about to follow.
But just as Xiaodeng was about to start singing, she couldn't help but let out a "Hey".
What followed was that Lixi's drumbeats and Su Shi's bass became disordered and eventually stopped.
The audience below stared blankly at the guitarist on stage.
“Eh…” Aine’s fingers involuntarily stopped.
He sang off-key because of her.
It failed, it failed, it failed, it failed, it failed, it failed, it failed, it failed, it failed, it failed.
