People are in animation, but they can connect to reality

Lin's voice was calm, yet tinged with a hint of sadness.

"But Momoka can't accept superficial songs that are just to please the audience. Momoka's songs have always been about pursuing personal characteristics and have an extremely strong personal style."

After saying that, Rin fell silent. She seemed to have difficulty speaking. Nana beside her continued to say,

"We don't dislike Taoxiang's music; on the contrary, we like it very much. Taoxiang's music has a very strong personal touch, and it was her music that attracted us to form the band. However, the audience didn't buy it. No matter how hard we tried, no matter how hard we tried, we were still standing still."

"We persuaded Taoxiang to hold back and sing her favorite songs later. Taoxiang agreed, but she is forcing herself."

Nana raised her eyes and stared at the sky in the distance, which was empty.

It always sounds like MMK's fault, Asagi thought. But now that things have come to this, as long as MMK's heart is untied, Asagi doesn't care too much about the rest.

"She just ran away." Asaki and the others added, saying what they found difficult to say. He looked at Rin and the others and asked again, "Can you please help MMK?"

The three looked at Asagi, curious about his relationship with MMK. The fact that he could be so humble must mean he valued MMK. They exchanged glances and made their own decisions.

"What do you want us to do?"

Asagi thought quickly and decided that he just needed to follow the story. To put it bluntly, all MMK needed was a reassurance from his old classmates: "We never hated MMK." That alone would be enough.

"I would like to ask everyone to meet with MMK and comfort her a little." Asagi said.

Rin and the others were slightly stunned, and didn't react for a moment. They thought Asagi had more to say, but Asagi stopped talking abruptly. They waited for a while, but Asagi still didn't say anything.

Can this be considered a request? This is not a request at all, on the contrary, it is their request. They want to see MMK, they are extremely eager.

As if they were afraid that Asagi would go back on his word, the three of them nodded in agreement.

At MY ALL's headquarters, MMK was alone, clutching his guitar, lost in thought, while Nina and 486 looked on worriedly. MMK's expression was unmistakable, let alone theirs. He looked like he wasn't taking it seriously at all. MMK always got like this whenever he heard Diamond Star's name.

Normally, MMK would recover on its own after a while. But today, when he was about to fight Diamond Star, MMK seemed to be sick, completely losing his firepower and being completely absent-minded.

"We can't go on like this," Renai wanted to rush up and argue with MMK but was grabbed by 486.

"Don't be so reckless." 486 dragged Nina outside, leaving MMK alone inside. Rupa and Ebizuka Satoshi, who were outside, saw Nina and 486 and came over.

"Whatever happens, we need to finish it first. If we talk about it now, MMK's condition will be even worse."

After hearing what 486 said, Renai fell silent. Rupa nodded beside her. It was obvious that she had already noticed the problem with MMK, but it was difficult for them to speak out.

If it was considered a deliberate attack, then it would be a disaster. So, they expected Asagi to mediate the current situation of MMK. After all, Asagi had always done this kind of thing, and everyone trusted him. No matter what Asagi said, no one would think he had any malicious intentions.

"Where's Asagi? He should have a solution." Ebizuka Satoshi searched around but couldn't find Asagi. "He ran away so fast he couldn't be found anymore." She stamped her foot in anger.

"Hey, didn't you see him either?" 486 and Nina were surprised. Lupa and Ebizuka Satoshi nodded. Several people sighed.

At this time, Asagi was bringing the people from Diamond Star to meet MMK. Their base was some distance away from Diamond Star's base, about a 5-minute walk.

Along the way, Asagi was worried about how to get rid of Nina and 485. Just as they were about to reach the base, Asagi found 486, Nina, Rupa, and Ebizuka Satoshi standing outside.

This was exactly what he wanted. This way, he wouldn't have to deliberately find a reason to trick them out, and he wouldn't give MMK a chance to escape.

"You are all outside, so you can help me block the door." Asagi walked over.

"We were just looking for you. Where have you been?" When they heard Asagi's voice, several people instantly became alert. Before they even raised their heads, the complaints in their mouths had already flown out.

486 was about to come up and give Asagi a little chastise for her wandering behavior, but just as she raised her hand, she met Rin and the others' gazes. For a moment, 486's hand froze in mid-air, and she froze in place, stunned.

"Huh? They do look familiar!" Ebizuka Satoshi looked at Rin and the others curiously, always feeling that their eyes were...

"Ahhhh..." Nina seemed frightened and hid behind 486, hesitating for a long time. She poked half of her head out and secretly looked at the members of Diamond Star.

In the end, Lupa was the most calm. She seemed to see through the identities of Rin and the others and smiled without saying a word.

"Hello, we are Diamond Star." Rin and the others greeted Nina and the others with smiles on their faces.

"Are you really Diamond Stars? I must be dreaming. 486, come and wake me up." Rencai's voice was as soft as a mosquito's.

"I'm not dreaming, let go of me," 485 complained as Rencai clutched her clothes tightly, almost wrinkling them.

"It's true, absolutely genuine." Several people smiled.

At this moment, Asagi stepped forward. Everyone's eyes were on him. Diamond Star followed his instructions, while Nina and the others stared at him, demanding an explanation.

"Guard the door well and don't let MMK escape. Otherwise, I'll hold you accountable."

"Yes, sir!" Several people stood at attention and answered. Although they didn't understand what was going on, they absolutely believed in Asagi.

"And, you guys, follow me in and capture MMK alive."

"Let's take it down in one fell swoop!" Lin and the others were full of fighting spirit.

Chapter 197 It sucks

MMK sat there, clutching her guitar. She appeared calm on the surface, but inside, a storm was already raging. She knew she'd have to face her old classmates from Diamond Star sooner or later, and she knew this wasn't a good thing; it would make others worry.

However, MMK couldn't control herself. When she thought of her old classmates, she would remember the oath she had made with them and the boasts she had made. When she thought of this, she felt an immense sense of guilt invade her.

This made her feel fearful and lonely. Two completely different voices kept swirling in her head: facing the challenge and avoiding it. As she pondered this, her fingers moved, and the guitar rang out with a crisp sound.

The noise startled her, bringing her back to reality. She looked around, but there was no one. It was incredibly quiet, so eerie it made her want to escape.

MMK stood up and planned to walk out of here and leave this dull place.

"Is Taoxiang in there?" Lin looked at the tent in front of him, his eyes a little dazed.

"MMK is in there, if she hasn't escaped. But she can't escape." Asagi pointed at the tent and nodded. "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll wait outside." He thought about it and decided it would be better for him to stay outside.

It was a rare opportunity for the old friends to meet, and it was a touching moment, so he decided to escape and not disturb them. Asagi stood outside and watched Rin and the others go in.

MMK pricked up her ears, listening to the voices outside. They sounded so familiar, so familiar that she knew who was speaking the moment she heard them. It was Rin and the others. MMK instantly became nervous and uneasy. She frantically searched for a place to hide, but after a quick look, she found no place to hide.

So, MMK stood up and faced the exit, intending to rush out the moment Rin and the others came in.

"MMK-chan, we're coming in." Rin walked in with a drawn-out voice that sounded like the tone that only close friends would use.

Hearing Rin's words, Asagi smiled with satisfaction. This was exactly how he had expected things to unfold.

Suddenly, a scream came from inside, and Asagi saw a gray figure rushing out like crazy. He was quick-witted and grabbed the rabbit-like creature.

MMK was very heavy, and he grabbed MMK's arm and used a lot of strength to pull her to where she was.

"You can't come out, inside is where you should go."

MMK looked up and saw Asagi, 486, Nina, and Rupa all surrounding her. MMK looked at them for help, but no one paid any attention. Asagi gently pushed MMK in.

After MMK reentered, Renai stared blankly at the spot where MMK had disappeared. She turned around and looked in the direction of Diamond Star, as if she was looking for someone.

Asagi gently placed his hand on Nina's head.

"If you want to see her, just go find her. There's still time." Both bands made their appearances relatively late, following their usual routine of briefly introducing themselves and then starting to sing, which took about five minutes. This meant they had plenty of time.

Nina shook her head and rejected Asagi's proposal.

MMK walked in dejectedly. Rin, Nana, and Ai looked at her with intense eyes. MMK felt uneasy. She tiptoed in, looking at Rin and the others cautiously. MMK wanted to ask about their recent lives, but the words on her lips were too much to say.

"MMK-chan." Several people looked at her worriedly and slowly approached her.

When MMK saw the appearance of several people, he immediately said what was in his mind.

"Don't come over!" MMK shouted to stop the people. She lowered her head, brewing her emotions.

"You formed a new band." Ai said softly, touching her chest. Ai's voice was very gentle, and she looked like a gentle person, not only in her facial expression but also in her appearance.

MMK was emotionally unstable.

"Everyone looks like a good kid." Ai smiled and tried to act more naturally.

"MMK has been worried about you guys. She's been secretly watching your live shows many times. To do so, she even disguised herself, dressing like a detective. But MMK definitely doesn't have the qualities of a detective. Not only does she look like a bad detective, but she also looks suspicious."

On the way here, Ai remembered what the boy named Asagi said.

"During live performances, she would hide in a dimly lit corner where no one would notice her and secretly watch you on the stage."

"Also, MMK would hide and cry. Every time she saw you, she would always have a very sad expression. That expression seemed to be filled with nostalgia and reluctance. Although MMK didn't say anything, she must be in a lot of pain."

Love bravely took another step forward, mustering up courage.

"MMK-chan, we don't regret meeting MMK at all!"

MMK widened his eyes and couldn't believe his ears.

"We are very happy to be friends with MMK and to be a member of the MMK band." Rin also stood up.

"Playing music with MMK is the happiest thing in our lives." Nana shouted loudly.

“We will persevere.”

"We will stand till the end and keep standing."

"Until we reach the Budokan!"

"No matter what kind of changes we have to make!"

"I will definitely grit my teeth and persevere."

Tears could not help but fill MMK's eyes, and MMK choked up. Several people looked at MMK, quietly waiting for MMK's answer.

"How dare you all force your way into my band with such bad acting and poor skills!" MMK loudly expressed his longing.

"With such poor skills, he should have worked hard to improve himself! But he's still the same now. He can only act cute and please fans, but he has no real skills at all. It's really terrible."

Asagi frowned outside, displeased with MMK's response. "Why are you being so stubborn? Why not just say it directly, 'I want to see you, too.'"

Is it so difficult to just say this?

"Idiot, can you please speak properly?" Asagi couldn't help but walk in. He was so angry that he hit MMK on the forehead. MMK covered her head in pain. She looked at Asagi with a wronged look, which made Asagi feel a little bit uncomfortable.

However, Asagi couldn't care less. He had finally managed to bring Miss Rin and the others here, and he owed them a huge favor. At this time, MMK, you can't let me down!

So, Asagi pretended to be very angry and whispered to MMK,

Chapter 198 Magical Girl?

"You can't escape, MMK-san. Nina and I have blocked all the exits. If you try to get out, we'll catch you and throw you back in. So, you'd better think carefully about what you're going to say. Otherwise, how are you going to face the gazes of your old classmates in there? It's best not to say things like you just did. It'll make everyone sad to hear them."

"Hurry up and say what you really want to say, so that no one has to be so shy." Asagi urged.

At the same time, he wanted to apologize to Lin and the others. Strangely, Lin and the others were not angry at all, but looked at MMK with relief.

That look seemed to say, "MMK is finally willing to speak." They looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"What are you going to say?" MMK looked at Asagi with a face full of grievance. As soon as Asagi came in, MMK was so scared that she forgot all the lines she had prepared. Originally, she didn't want to say those words just now, but just wanted to find someone to vent her grievances.

Rin and the others were the perfect outlets for her. She could pour out everything she had been suppressing, everything she had been dissatisfied with. Because MMK knew they would tolerate her, just like they had before. They hadn't changed at all.

They are still the same!

But now she had forgotten how to turn the situation around. All the words she had prepared were forgotten because of Asagi's sudden interruption. She looked at Asagi with a bit of resentment, as if to say, "This is all your fault."

"What a weird guy." Looking at MMK's expression, Asagi was speechless. Of course, he didn't know that he had messed up MMK's business.

"Let me translate." Asagi said to himself. In the end, he was still needed. He coughed lightly and spoke slowly.

"I want to see you guys too, MMK said."

"Is that what MMK said?" Rin and the others looked at Asagi in confusion and asked.

MMK tugged at Asagi's sleeve and whispered in protest, "I didn't say that."

"Don't worry about the details." Asagi ignored MMK's protest and continued to help her translate.

"I miss you so much that I think of you all the time. Whether I'm alone or with you."

MMK blushed, her head buried deep in her chest. Meanwhile, the girls from Diamond Star were filled with excitement and anticipation, their mouths slightly open, their faces filled with barely concealed surprise.

"For this, I even secretly ran to the live scene. I have always wanted to apologize to everyone. I am really sorry that my stubbornness has caused you to suffer so much depression and pressure for so long."

"MMK!" Several people couldn't help but shout out. They were unusually happy, as if to confirm. MMK's cheeks were red, and she didn't dare to look up.

The scene was like an execution, with the condemned being MMK, the judge being Asagi, and the judges being MMK's former classmates. This was a massive social suicide scene.

"I don't want to forget you all, nor do I want to be separated from you all. I've always been looking forward to... looking forward to the day when we can meet again..."

Asagi finished speaking, and the others rushed over to MMK. They were suddenly transported back to their high school days. On the playground where they had decided to debut in Tokyo, Rin and the others were sitting on the steps of the school building, while MMK was drawing lines on the ground.

It was there that MMK tried his best to persuade them to give up their studies and debut.

The girls lay beside MMK, looking into each other's eyes. Because of Asagi's series of performances, MMK had no choice but to accept the current situation. She looked into Rin and the others' eyes, and a smile appeared on her crying face again.
