Do you like humans that much, Chihaya Aine?

　Usually it was Sushi who was expecting Xiangzi's response, but today it was the other way around, it was Fengchuan Xiangzi who was expecting

　Waiting for the arrival of Nagasaki Suyo.

　"Xiao Xiang, I...I'm sorry!"

　Su Shi couldn't tell Xiao Xiang about the Metron people. She covered her face with her hands, about to cry, and hurriedly ran into the dub.

　"Eh? Sushi..."

　Shoko Toyokawa was stunned. She found that Nagasaki Suyo was in a very abnormal condition. Her eyes were bloodshot and her eye sockets were red, as if she was about to cry. What happened?

　Could it be that something unexpected happened to Su Shi because of the thing he asked him to do yesterday? When Xiangzi thought of this reason, he couldn't help but feel worried.

　Xiangzi wanted to ask Su Shi what had happened, but Su Shi was completely avoiding her and refused to say a word.

　This is just like when Shoko Toyokawa quit CRYCHIC. She had reasons that she couldn't express and her own difficulties.

　Now Toyokawa Shoko seems to understand. She quit CRYCHIC without any reason and didn't even give everyone a decent reason. How worried were people?

　"Did I do something so extreme back then..."

　Xiangzi smiled bitterly. She thought that if she took the initiative to cut off ties with CRYCHIC, she would be the only one who would be sad, but she didn't expect that other people in CRYCHIC would also be sad about it.

　So, Toyokawa Shoko decided! She had to take this step of being honest, otherwise she would no longer have the right to talk about reconciling with everyone.

　At least the past is over, let’s start a new story.

　Volume 1: 84. I'm here to end CRYCHIC

　"Su Shi, I want to talk to you."

　"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang... I can't respond to you right now. Can we wait until later?"

　"It's about why I quit CRYCHIC."

　"Eh?!"

　Su Shi was stunned. Why did Xiaoxiang talk about this at this time?

　Although Su Shi really wanted to understand why Xiao Xiang wanted to quit CRYCHIC, it was not a good idea to talk about it at this time.

　"Because I want to know what happened to you, Su Shi, I must tell you my story honestly."

　"Su Shi, can you promise me? I'll tell you why I want to quit CRYCHIC."

　"Tell me what happened after I asked you for help yesterday."

　Nagasaki Suyo's expression and reaction were very strange, and Toyokawa Shoko judged that something big must have gone wrong.

　If it was Xiangzi's own business, she might still stubbornly consider her dignity and force herself to persevere.

　But now that other people are involved, Xiangzi doesn't have the face to say that this has nothing to do with Su Shi. Some things must be discussed openly.

　Of course, the most important thing is that Shoko Toyokawa no longer needs to work everywhere to support her family. She has a decent job, and that bastard father has also found a job to support himself. Everything in life is getting better.

　Only when he knew that he would not become a burden to everyone did Xiangzi decide to tell Su Shi about his own affairs. Besides, this was a good opportunity to be honest. He couldn't just keep being stubborn.

　People always need a step down. Toyokawa Shoko gave herself a step down, and she also hoped that Su Shi could use this step to tell the truth.

　"You wouldn't mind having two more listeners, would you?"

　Chihaya Aine appeared out of nowhere, and she brought along Tatsuki Shiina and Tomoe Takamatsu. Now all the members of CRYCHIC were present.

　Oh, right! Even if Ye Mu wasn't here, she knew about Xiangzi's situation, so it didn't matter much whether he was there or not.

　"You bastard, if you want to eavesdrop, don't drag me and Deng with you!"

　Li Xi couldn't help but complain, but Aine dragged her and Deng here without saying a word, without even noticing that the atmosphere was awkward.

　"It's not eavesdropping, and I can't be counted as one of them."

　Chihaya Aine said there were only two listeners, and it was obvious that she was not among them. Aine still knew that she should give the CRYCHIC members private space at this time, but when she turned around and wanted to leave, Toyokawa Shoko spoke.

　"Chihaya Aine, why don't you stay and listen together, so you don't have to pester Deng and ask questions later."

　“Hey~!”

　Aiyin stuck out her tongue to act cute, but her little thoughts were completely seen through by Xiangzi. If Deng knew it, it meant she knew it too. Deng's penguin mouth was so easy to pry open.

　"Xiaoxiang, are you finally willing to tell us?"

　Gao Songdeng was a little touched. After waiting for such a long time, Xiaoxiang was finally willing to speak up and explain everything. This was all thanks to Aine. Since meeting her, everything has become better.

　"Okay, let me explain first."

　"Do you know about the Toyokawa Group being defrauded of 168 billion yen?"

　"Huh? How much!"

　When Aiyin heard the amount, she gasped on the spot. She thought that Xiangzi's family did not agree to let her play in the band, but she didn't expect that the first thing they said was such explosive news.

　"I've seen the news."

　Su Shi nodded thoughtfully. She had paid attention to it at the time, but didn't think too much about it. And Deng and Li Xi...these two had no idea about the astronomical figure of 168 billion yen.

　I'm afraid that only if you tell them that it costs 600 million yen to hold a live show, they will probably think that this is a lot of money.

　"The person who was defrauded at the time was my father, Toyokawa Kiyoshi. He resigned because he caused such a huge loss to the Toyokawa Group."

　"My grandfather kicked my father out of the Toyokawa family because of this incident. I was very angry at the time and left the Toyokawa family in anger. I have been living with my father ever since."

　"Eh? Xiaoxiang, you left the Fengchuan family!"

　Everyone seemed to have heard something incredible. Could this rich young lady be so stubborn? She actually cut ties with the Toyokawa family, and...

　"It's been almost a year since CRYCHIC disbanded. Could it be that you, Xiaoxiang, have never returned to the Fengchuan family?"

　"Yes, I have always lived with my father, and he was drunk all the time. I had to work to earn money to support both of us."

　"No way?!"

　This really surprised Aine. This meant that after the eldest daughter of the Toyokawa family ran away from home, she had to work all day to support herself and her father. It has been a whole year now.

　This is not about enduring hardship, that's not right... Aiyin really admires her ability to endure hardships. In a sense, Toyokawa Shoko is too amazing.

　"Why don't you tell us about your situation?"

　Lixi was a little angry. Didn't Toyokawa Shoko treat them as friends? Why didn't she tell everyone when she had difficulties?

　"How could I possibly tell you!"

　Toyokawa Shoko was also very angry. If she had lowered her head as a young lady and told everyone in CRYCHIC about her situation, she would have given up her so-called dignity and returned to the Toyokawa family long ago. In the final analysis, it was all because of her "self-esteem".

　"Xiao Xiang, is this also the reason why you transferred from Yue No Mori to Yu Gao?"

　"Yes, because Haneda has a scholarship system, it can greatly reduce my burden."

　Xiangzi answered Deng's question. She had already cut ties with the Toyokawa family and could no longer afford Yue Zhisen's high tuition fees, nor could she continue to live the life of a young lady.

　"So, Xiaoxiang, do you think CRYCHIC and all of us are a burden to you?"

　Su Shi asked sadly. This was what she was most worried and afraid of. She was afraid that Xiaoxiang hated them.

　“No, CRYCHIC is not a burden to me, but I have become a burden to CRYCHIC.”

　I have always been reluctant to talk about CRYCHIC because this band is so beautiful in Toyokawa Shoko's heart, and that time was the motivation that supported her to live.

　But CRYCHIC is over, ended by her own hands, and Shoko Toyokawa must wake up from the beautiful fantasies of the past and look forward.

　“CRYCHIC is over, but I still want to be friends with you all.”

　"Let's leave those good times in the past. We must have a new beginning."

　As she spoke, Toyokawa Shoko looked at Chihaya Aine who was standing beside her.

　"Aine, can you do me a favor?"

　"What's the matter? Tell me."

　"I'd like to take up a short moment at this Live, so CRYCHIC can have their final farewell performance."

　"Of course it's no problem, but what about Xiao Mu?"

　"She will come, she will definitely come."

　Toyokawa Shoko firmly believed that Mu would definitely come to watch her live performance, and it was time for CRYCHIC to say their final goodbye.

　Volume 1: 85. Upcoming Live

　That should be enough.

　Taking this opportunity, Shoko Toyokawa told everyone her story frankly. Today is the debut live of the M78 band, and she must settle accounts with her past self.

　Xiangzi probably has clearly realized that if she doesn't solve the CRYCHIC problem, she will never be able to make friends with everyone like before, chatting and laughing.

　People are always willing to find a way out for themselves. When Xiangzi wanted to confess everything, she would say it herself as long as there was a suitable reason.

　Nagasaki Suyo just gave Xiangzi this opportunity and reason, and she finally told the reason why she quit CRYCHIC.

　"I see... Crychic can't go back after all."

　There was no sadness on Nagasaki Suyo's face, rather it was as if she had finally let go of the knot in her heart. She probably knew in her heart that CRYCHIC could not be resurrected, but Toyokawa Shoko said all this in person, which completely dispelled Ms. Suyo's fantasy.

　But Xiangzi also promised that they would remain good friends for life, so even if CRYCHIC was gone, it would not change their existing relationship.

　"Su Shi, I will explain why I quit CR.

　I've told you the reason for YCHIC, and you should also confess what happened after I asked you for help yesterday."

　"Xiaoxiang, I..."

　Su Shi couldn't help being moved and wanted to tell Xiangzi about her inner fear, but she bit her lips tightly and didn't speak frankly.

　"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang. I'll definitely tell you later, but I can't tell you now... okay?"

　"alright, I got it."

　Seeing that Su Shi refused to speak no matter what, Toyokawa Shoko nodded helplessly. In fact, she could understand it.

　In the past, Xiangzi would never let anyone know about his situation. Only after her living conditions improved and everything became better, Xiangzi was willing to confess.

　Humans are just like animals. When they are injured, they will cover their bloody wounds and become aggressive.

　Only after the wound heals on its own will they become friendly and even willing to show their scars to others.

　Xiangzi's scar was almost healed, but it would be a bit impolite for her to expose Su Shi's bloody wound now. It would be better for her to wait until Su Shi was willing to speak first before asking.

　"I'm sorry, Xiaoxiang."

　Ms. Su Shi was struggling in her heart. Although she wanted to confide her inner distress to everyone, she had promised Metron to keep his identity as an alien a secret.

　If he reveals this matter to his companions without asking for Metron's consent, it would be a clear act of betrayal of his friend.

　Su Shi didn't want to be a betrayer, just like what she said to the Metron people, Xiaoxiang didn't betray her, and Su Shi wouldn't betray anyone.

　Don't worry, everything will be fine. And the alien who calls himself Mefilas said that Ultraman will rescue Metron. Su Shi can only pray silently in his heart.

　"Meimei hasn't come yet, Sushi, please take over her job."

　"Okay, leave it to me."

　With Aine's appropriate change of topic, the CRYCHIC members' gathering ended. Everyone had their own things to do, so they had to give their all today.

　"Monster costumes, ready!"

　"Everyone, get ready and change your clothes. Then gather at the front desk."

　"Wait—Lena, stop running around in Gomora's clothes."

　The live atmosphere is filled with busyness and joy, and the battle among the girl bands is about to begin.

　.....

　"Ms. Mu, are you going to the concert again?"

　"Yeah, it's Xiaoxiang's live show. I have to go watch it."

　At the Wakaba family, Wakaba Mutsu is about to go out, and there is a woman named Onuma Keiko who follows her and is responsible for taking care of Mutsu.

　"Okay then, I'll go with you."

　"Excuse me, Miss Keiko."

　Mu nodded politely in thanks. Although he didn't know who Miss Keiko was or what her relationship was with Aaron and Minami, she was surprisingly a nice person.

　Looking at the girl who looked like a doll beside her, Keiko Onuma didn't say much. As long as it was Wakaba Mu's request, she would try her best to satisfy it. After all, Keiko Onuma's mission was to ensure Mu's safety.

　The two people took a private car to dub, Ruo Yemu was coming over.
