"Xiang, could you please write the lyrics for this?" Ruoye Mu silently read through all of Xiangzi's arrangements.
Only after Xiangzi had distributed all his works did she hand out the pieces from her bag.
Xiangzi took the paper that Ruoye Mutsu handed him with some doubt and asked, "Mutsu, what is this?"
"Lyrics, lyrics I wrote." Wakaba Mutsu said confidently, then whispered to Takamatsu Akari, "Akari, take a look too. This is my first time writing lyrics. I don't know how well it's written..."
"Hmm...!" Upon hearing Wakaba Mutsu's words, Takamatsu Akari moved closer to Shoko without hesitation, and together they appreciated Wakaba Mutsu's lyrics.
Su Shi couldn't contain her curiosity any longer, so she stood up from her seat and squatted between Deng and Xiangzi.
The three of them looked at the lyrics written by Wakaba Mutsu together. Wakaba Mutsu nervously looked over there, wondering what kind of evaluation everyone would give.
After an unknown amount of time, Xiangzi was the first to react.
Tears welled up in Xiangzi's eyes, and she whispered, "These are... lyrics written by Mu? They are so... so touching."
In the latter half, her voice became excited. She pushed back the chair and stood up abruptly, her voice trembling with tears, saying, "Leave it to me. I will write a melody worthy of Xiao Mu's lyrics."
“Hmm… I feel it’s really good too!” Gao Songdeng nodded very seriously, and then said even more seriously, “So… I have an idea for this piece.”
"I think... you two can sing this song, and I... can just be an accompanist."
Takamatsu Akari's idea surprised both Wakaba Mutsu and Shoko. Shoko denied it, saying, "It's definitely not going to work. If you want to know why, our lead singer is Akari."
“No…” Gao Songdeng shook his head slowly and firmly, denying Xiangzi’s statement: “These lyrics were written by Xiao Mu, so it’s better for her to sing them.”
Xiangzi was taken aback, feeling like he'd heard these words somewhere before. Gao Songdeng looked at Xiangzi seriously: "Xiao Mu's lyrics are also her inner cry."
Oh no, she used all my words!
Xiangzi cried out in his heart, "Isn't this exactly what I told Gao Songdeng that day when she said she couldn't sing? I seem to have no way to refute her."
Unless I repeat the day I disbanded from Kulaixiku and say I never said that, but that seems impossible no matter how you look at it.
"Besides, Xiao Mu sang really well at the karaoke that day," Gao Songdeng added.
“I also think it would be better if Xiao Mu and Xiao Xiang sang,” Su Shi chimed in, her eyes narrowed and the corners of her mouth turned up.
"Besides, the matter of Xiaodeng being the lead singer is a matter for Kulaixiku and Dongjulong Flame Group. Mygo's matter has not been decided yet. If it is decided now that everyone can sing, there is no problem, right?"
"That's a very cunning way of putting it." The blue-haired octopus lightly slapped the table in dissatisfaction, looked at Wakaba Mutsu, and asked, "What about Mutsu? What does Mutsu think? If you're the lead singer, you have to step up to the front. That's really not good, is it?"
Ruo Yemu shook her head slightly and said firmly, "It's okay. I'm not afraid of those things anymore, especially since it's only one song."
“I am Momoi Taro’s sister. It would be ridiculous for me to be afraid of these things.”
While still lost in thought, Riki heard the name slip into his ears and his spirits lifted slightly. That's right... Momoi Taro, if it's Momoi Taro.
"Mu's explanation is even more cunning!" The blue-haired octopus grew increasingly unwilling, and could only shift her gaze to the last person who hadn't expressed their opinion: "What about Lixi? What does Lixi think?"
All four of them looked at Lixi the moment her complexion improved, and when they looked back, their eyes were fixed on her, making Lixi feel a little guilty...
Now that things have come to this, I can no longer bring myself to admit that I didn't listen to anyone at all.
"Ah... me too." Anyway, the universal reply formula is always right. She suddenly stood up, put all of Xiangzi's sheet music into her bag, and said loudly, "Sorry, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. I have to go now. Let me know the next practice time on Line. Sorry!"
After saying that, she didn't even drink her coffee and ran off.
Only four people remained, staring at each other in bewilderment.
The seventeenth installment of the series, a commemorative photo?
The first person to react was Su Shi. She gently clapped her hands together, making a snapping sound, which woke everyone who was still in shock.
"Yes~ It's decided now, this song will be sung by the two of you."
Xiangzi had no intention of arguing any further. She didn't know why Lixi had become like this, but it was obvious that Lixi was in a bad mood: "I really can't do anything with you guys. I and Mu will practice hard and won't hold our band back."
Then, as if remembering something, her mood improved slightly, and she winked and teased Wakaba Mutsu, "Right, Momoi Taro's (emphasis) sister (emphasis) over there."
If Ye Mu did not have the reaction that Xiangzi expected, but simply nodded slightly indifferently, it could be considered as agreeing to Ni_⑵删ling(B,四)究g奇衫师群.
Xiangzi sighed, looked at the empty door, and said softly, "You still care about Lixi, don't you?"
“Tachiki-chan…” Takamatsu Akari lowered her head slightly and said softly, “She seems very strong, but in reality… she is also a very delicate person. She thinks about many things and is a very capable person.”
"There's nothing we can do about it, at least not today." Su Shi sighed softly as she listened to everyone's discussion, then smiled and clapped her hands to draw everyone's attention to herself.
"It's time to practice. Even without a drummer, we can still practice, right, Xiangzi?" Su Shi smiled, her eyes narrowed, and looked at Xiangzi. Xiangzi's body trembled slightly, but she straightened up and said loudly, "Yes!"
Su Shi shook her head slightly, said nothing more, and turned to head to the practice room.
After running a distance, Riki bent over, hands on her knees, panting heavily. Yes—she was looking for Momoi Taro. If she was looking for Momoi Taro, then…
Lixi's mind was in complete turmoil. She didn't know what she could do by finding Momoi Taro, or how he could help her.
It was only the instinct of its soul that sent out a silent cry for help: go find Momoi Taro, go find Momoi Taro.
She separated the three crumpled pieces of paper in her hand, solemnly took out her phone, and sent a message to Taro in the distance.
"Mr. Taro, I'd like to see you now, is that convenient? Please reply as soon as possible."
The moment the message was sent, Li Xi felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her heart, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The next second, the phone chimed; it turned out that Momoi Taro had sent a reply.
"Sure. Where?"
Lixi thought for a moment. RiNG was definitely out of the question; Deng and Xiangzi were still there, and Yuzawa Cafe… didn't seem like a suitable place to discuss those things either. So, without hesitation, she entered an address and sent it.
"What do you think of Asukayama Park?"
"Okay, but I'm not in Ikebukuro right now. How about tomorrow at 6 PM?" Taro's answer made Riki feel a little relieved.
Although she herself didn't know why she was looking for Momoi Taro, she had a feeling that it was the right thing to do.
……
Let's rewind to last night. (The rest of the text appears to be random characters and symbols, possibly a corrupted or incomplete message.)
The two people in the pavilion saw Taro and Wakame walking towards them side by side. Aine looked at the two of them with suspicion.
Although Aine had expected Nyanmu to return, what's going on here?!
I knew you two would make up, but I didn't know you could become so close. What exactly happened? There was no sign in that dream that my dream girl liked Taro.
"Yo~ Aiko." Ruomai waved her hand lightly, then, as if she had thought of something, said seriously, "From now on, I'll call you Aine, and Aine, you can call me Ruomai too. Nice to meet you~"
"Yes! Ruomai! Please guide me." Aiyin seemed to understand something and gave a sincere smile.
Ruomai smiled and pulled Aiyin, who was beaming with joy, into her arms. Under the astonished gazes of Hailing and Lenai, Aiyin patted Ruomai's back in surprise.
"And thank you, Aine. Thanks to you, I was able to make up with Taro." Meow Dream whispered these words in Aine's ear.
Ai Yin's ears tickled, and her earlobes turned red. She still smiled and was about to reply, "You're welcome."
Ruomai then whispered a second sentence in her ear, which completely froze the smile on her face. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and said, "You're welcome."
What Ruomai just told Aine was: "After this, it's okay if Aine treats me as a rival. I will take what I want with my own hands. Sorry, Aine."
Hai Ling had no idea what had happened and just stared blankly at Aine, whose expression had changed drastically.
Sitting on a chair in the pavilion, Lena watched the interaction between the two and smiled, "Interesting women...."
"Alright, alright, this rain doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon. There's still a while until midnight, so before then..."
Miao Meng smiled and sat down next to Le Nai: "Why don't we discuss what to do next?"
"Next? What do you mean?" Hailing looked at Miaomeng in confusion. She was a little confused. She had only gone out for a short while, but Miaomeng seemed like a completely different person.
"Band, band topic." Ruomai helplessly spread her hands, seemingly lamenting Hailing's dullness: "What should our band do next to ensure that we are truly the best in Japan?"
"Wasn't this decided a long time ago? Why are you only saying it now?" Hai Ling's eyes were full of confusion.
"Of course we need to confirm this. Just debuting professionally isn't enough to be called the number one in Japan."
Ambition, the flames of ambition consumed her eyes; her expression was sharp, yet a smile played on her lips.
"If it becomes a profession, what we need even more is the ability to be unconstrained!" Ruomai said confidently. "What we need is face, numbers... and talent."
She glanced at everyone and said confidently, "We have plenty of looks and talent. What we need is more numbers. Only by becoming famous before signing a contract can we perform as we want when we debut as professionals."
"Li~ve~more and more—" Lena, contrary to her usual self, did not run away from Ruomai's side. She earnestly stated her request.
"Yes, that's unavoidable, but the joint live performance next month is also very important. It's a collaboration with three super famous bands—" Ruomai stated very seriously:
"If we perform normally at that time, our numbers will definitely grow rapidly."
"Let me correct you, that live performance wasn't a joint performance, they were just invited to be the opening act band."
Taro's voice was full of confidence and an unquestionable tone. Ruomai, however, dismissively spread her hands:
"Yes, yes, but everyone's popularity is obviously much higher than our band's right now. Objectively speaking, many of the people who will come will be there because of those bands, not us."
"Is that so?" Taro asked, a little uncertain.
"That's true." Aine sat down next to Ryuna, looking at Ryuna sitting close to Ruomai. She used to feel uncomfortable and would run away—
She gritted her teeth inwardly, but still managed a smile: "I think we won't lose in terms of performance quality."
Then, her smile relaxed. This also meant that Miaomeng... no, Ruomai, had officially joined our band.
Isn’t this good?
"Moreover, my account still has some popularity. I will try my best to convert it into popularity for the band."
"And another thing..." Ruomai's voice softened slightly as she picked up her phone and opened her band's social media page.
Two blushes appeared on her cheeks as she pointed shyly to the designated post and asked softly, "This... this dance, can I participate too?"
She was referring to the dance to the theme song of the Dong Brothers group, "I Am the Only One".
Actually, when the dance first came out, Ai Yin secretly persuaded Ruomai several times, hoping that she could participate in the dance performance together.
However, after Mai declined several times, Ai Yin never brought it up again.
Unexpectedly, Ruomai took the initiative to participate this time after returning.
"What's the point of this dance?" Hai Ling looked at the sky in confusion. The rain gradually stopped, revealing a clear sky.
“So, numbers, numbers~” Ruomai sighed helplessly and looked in Hailing’s direction: “Actually, it rains most of the time around this time of year.”
