MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

"Soyorin, I have a question for you."

"What?"

Ai asked curiously, "What would you think if I said I wanted to hold hands?"

Su Shi immediately replied, "I don't have that kind of orientation."

"That's true. I don't have any either."

"You want to hold my hand?"

Ai Yin laughed and said, "I just felt that Soyorin seemed to want to hold hands with me."

"It's an illusion. If you want to hold it, go hold a tree branch. It won't say anything no matter how long you hold it."

Ai Yin pouted: "No way."

After having dinner with Su Shi at a family restaurant, they went home to change into casual clothes, strolled around the streets together for a while, and then said their goodbyes.

Back home, Ai-yin took off her contact lenses.

After putting on her glasses and finishing her homework and guitar practice, she went into the bathroom for a bath.

"We've finally come this far."

Suze, Riki, and Ryuna have all returned to MyGO, only Tohru is missing! And what follows is the most important, the crucial point. Aine exhaled, feeling nervous.

If we fail, we won't have such a good opportunity again.

It must be successful on the first try.

Ai Yin patted her face: "It's precisely at times like these that we can't let our guard down..."

But I'm pretty amazing to have managed to turn the tide and get things back to normal, right? Aine thought smugly.

It's a pity that no one praises her now, and Li Xi hasn't praised her either recently.

Aine touched her hand, recalling the feeling.

"Soyorin's hands are so soft and warm."

Although she was just joking when she asked Su Shi if she wanted to hold hands, it didn't seem like there would be anything wrong with doing so.

Rather, it's too much trouble to be misunderstood about one's orientation just for holding hands.

But when asked if she wanted to hold hands, Su Shi hesitated for a moment.

If she could refuse decisively, then Ai Yin wouldn't overthink things. But it was that one or two seconds of hesitation that made Ai Yin wonder—did Su Shi still want to hold hands?

Chapter 48 I Don't Play Spring Shadows

Su Shi returned home and sat on the sofa to rest for a while.

I took out my phone and found that there were new messages in the group chat.

[Li Xi: Su Shi is here.]

[Aine: Mm, I'm pretty good, right?]

[Li Xi: Indeed....]

The girl named Lena hasn't sent any messages yet.

Su Shi opened another group, the one created by Deng, and found that they were still chatting, but on a different topic.

It has a sense of a group within a group.

But there's nothing we can do about it; we can't keep this awkward silence going. If Deng could join the band's group chat, we wouldn't have to worry about this, but Deng hasn't changed his mind yet.

Su Shi stood up and took a shower first.

Soaking in hot water, Su Shi touched her palms.

She's still regretting it now; she should have refused immediately... She didn't want to hold hands at all, she just didn't open her mouth right away.

But even if Aine were to avoid misunderstanding, it would probably be impossible.

Life has given us another regretful response.

If you were to form a band with Aine and the others for the rest of your life, the regrets would only increase. It's a truly regrettable thought.

Su Shi scooped up a handful of water and felt a warmth that was different from Aine's body temperature.

""

This is the last time I'll be in a band.

If this fails, I'll never team up again; this time it's for real.

"My heart isn't strong enough to withstand a second rainy day."

After taking a shower, Su Shi dried her hair and sat on the bed to continue playing on her phone.

There's been a lot more news lately.

[Lixi: It's Deng's turn now, isn't it?]

[Aine: Yeah, but Riki knows she's unlikely to agree to our request right now.]

[Li Xi: So?]

[Aiyin: I have an idea!]

[Aiyin: I'll be the lead vocalist first! Guitarist and vocalist!]

[Lixi: Huh?]

Su Shi frowned: "What?"

The four of them gathered at the coffee shop on the second floor of RiNG.

Lena was captured by Lixi with a matcha parfait. According to her, she really searched the entire school before finding Lena playing with other cats.

Right now, Lena is sitting to the side, enjoying her snacks.

Li Xi put her hands on her hips: "I don't deny that you can be the lead singer. I've even thought about having you as the lead singer if we really can't get everyone together. But you're saying this is your plan to bring the lights over? I don't understand."

Su Shi was quite surprised: "You can sing?"

Ai-yin confidently replied, "Of course! I'm a karaoke expert! Riki has heard me sing before, right?"

"I've heard of it, it's not bad..."

Lixi recalled the scene of their first meeting and felt a little nostalgic, even though it hadn't been that long ago.

"But not hard enough," she added.

Su Shi looked at Li Xi with a strange expression. It was actually Li Xi who said such a thing.

"So what exactly is your idea?" Su Shi asked, picking up her black tea.

"Let's host a live performance," Ai Yin said earnestly.

"...Just us?" Su Shi confirmed.

"Ah."

Su Shi looked around and saw that Ai Yin was the rhythm guitarist and lead vocalist, Le Nai was the lead guitarist, Li Xi was the drummer, and she herself was the bassist. They could form a standard band.

Except for the lack of a keyboardist.

But those present probably didn't want a keyboardist either.

Li Xi seemed thoughtful: "It's time to apply for a performance. You wouldn't be thinking of using a live performance to get the spotlight, would you?"

"That's it!"

"...Can it really work?" Li Xi wasn't very confident about it.

"To touch people's hearts with music sounds like a beautiful fairy tale," Su Shi said casually, seemingly also finding the idea too idealistic.

Lena spoke up at this moment: "I think it's okay."

"What's the reason?" Li Xi asked.

"intuition."

"That's as good as saying nothing at all."

Ai Yin nodded; she knew her teammates would react this way.

She had also prepared her arguments to persuade them.

""Shadow of Spring"——"

Su Shi reacted to the word, and her movement of picking up the teacup paused.

"I don't play Spring Shadows," she said immediately, as if she had a vague feeling that this scene was familiar.

"Who asked you?" Li Xi and Ai Yin looked helpless.

Nobody said they were going to play Kasuga Kage.

"What is Spring Shadow?" Renai asked curiously.

"It's just a song," Su Shi explained dismissively.

"No, it's more than just a song to you, I know that very well."

Aine earnestly explained, "I don't want everyone to play Haruhi Kage. Crychic... is in the past. We can't use songs from the past to guide the light into the future."

Li Xi glanced at Su Shi, who didn't react to her words.

"But when everyone played Kasuga Kage back then, when they played together, they must have had very different feelings."

""

""

Lena licked the spoon and continued listening.

“Resonance—this word is the most fitting to describe the feeling of playing together.”

"If what you want to say and what you want to express cannot be conveyed simply through words, then use other methods."

Aine wasn't clear about what feelings they experienced from "Haruhi Kage" during the Crychic era; she could only understand it through her own experience with "Shichikuban".

Li Xi nodded knowingly: "It's about conveying your emotions to the light through your performance..."

"Ah."

Su Shi sighed softly, "It sounds unreliable, but the other party is a meticulous person, so it might be surprisingly effective. The world she sees is different from the world we see."

"I don't understand, but you can hold a live show, right? I'll go."

It seems everyone agrees.

Ai Yin breathed a sigh of relief; the first step was a success. Now it was time for the second step.

"Besides that, there are some other things I need to prepare."

“What could be more important than training? Now that we’ve made the decision, let’s hurry up and book the recording studio. We still need to work things out together, and we can’t afford to mess things up in a formal setting!” Li Xi said impatiently.

Ai Yin shook her finger and said, "Of course!"

"What is it?"

"Performance costumes!"

"what?"

Su Shi sighed, "Is now the time to prepare something like this?"

Why not just wear casual clothes to the performance? It's not like they're the only ones doing it.

Li Xi stood up and said anxiously, "That's right, it doesn't matter what you wear to the performance, the most important thing is technique and teamwork."

"Riki, don't rush. This is part of the plan. To ensure everything goes smoothly and we successfully get Tomorin to join us—"

Ai took a breath and made up her mind.

"I want to lose face too!"

After hearing her explanation, Li Xi and Su Shi's expressions were quite interesting. Only Le Nai nodded repeatedly, seemingly praising Aine for being an unexpectedly interesting woman.

"Are you serious?" Li Xi asked with a strange expression.

"Do you think I'm joking?" Ai Yin asked with a resolute expression.
