Band heavy girl? Please stay away from me

happy?

of course.

Playing guitar with Rin was the happiest time I had after CRYCHIC disbanded.

Although it was short, it was enough to occupy a place in the girl's heart. There were too many scars, so the softer things were more likely to be desired by the girl.

But the doll's next words shocked her.

"I'm worried about Xiaomu."

"Xiao Mu is a very cute child and very talented, but... he doesn't have anything that's unique to him. He can only play the guitar all the time."

"Xiao Mu always listened to Xiangzi and did nothing wrong, but in the end, he didn't get what Xiangzi promised him."

pat!

The old-fashioned TV disappeared out of thin air, and the image of Xiangzi crying also disappeared from Mu's sight.

When Ruoye Mu opened his eyes again, he found that he and the Q-version doll were standing on an empty theater stage, with no audience around.

Countless spotlights shone on them, and the strong light made it difficult for her to open her eyes.

Loneliness enveloped them.

"I showed up to protect Xiao Mu from getting hurt."

The puppet smiled and spoke.

"If Xiaomu stays with Xiangzi and Crychik, he will only continue to get hurt, so... I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent Xiaomu from getting hurt."

The puppet paused for a moment, and then its childish voice echoed throughout the stage.

"Xiao Mu...why don't you think of Lin as Xiang's replacement? After all, whatever Xiangzi can give Xiao Mu, Lin can do the same."

"I've observed many people before, but none of them could enter Xiaomu's protective circle like Xiangzi did."

"But...Rin appeared. She gave me hope of helping Xiaomu get rid of his pain."

"Rin can understand Xiaomu, understand Ruoye Mu as an individual, and play guitar with Xiaomu for the rest of his life. Isn't this more in line with Xiaomu's ideal?"

The puppet tried to guide Wakaba Mutsu.

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted loudly by Ruoye Mu the next moment.

"wrong!"

Wakaba Mutsu clenched his fists.

His recent experiences flashed through his mind.

【Maybe one day, I will be able to fully understand Mu's guitar?】

"Rin is different! ...And so is Shoko."

The girl's sudden shouting made the puppet stunned for a second.

It had never seen Xiao Mu react so strongly before. He was immediately irritated, as if it was an instinctive response to stress, and refuted itself without hesitation.

But why?

"Xiao Mu, why? What's different about this?"

The puppet stood up again.

"I don't understand how Mu-chan feels about Rin, but...what about Shoko? How is she any different?"

Being mentally immature, Mortis couldn't understand what just a few days with Rin meant to Mu.

Naturally, it could not understand Mu's feelings.

but!

As the woman who grew up with Xiaomu, Xiangzi is the one who the two girls spent the most time with.

Mortis has been a bystander, watching everything that Xiaomu has experienced since he came into contact with Xiangzi, so he naturally has some understanding of it.

Beauty is not false, but pain is real.

Besides, since the good times have ended and only endless sorrow remains, why can't Xiao Mu let go of this person? Let go of this pain?

Mortis didn't understand.

43.What’s wrong with meal replacements?

On the magnificent and classical stage, the green-haired girl and the puppet are standing opposite each other, expressing their respective ideas, just like a wonderful drama performance.

"I don't understand how Mu-chan feels about Rin, but...what about Shoko? How is she any different?"

Upon hearing this, Ruo Yemu quietly took a small step forward, clenched his hands against his chest, his throat trembling slightly, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"No, Xiangzi is just..."

Xiangzi just had some problems at home, she didn't mean to hurt me...

But the fact of CRYCHIC's disbandment was right in front of him, and his words of rebuttal were weak and useless, stuck in his throat and unable to be uttered.

The girl tried her best to prove it, but she couldn't grasp the root of the problem. Even though she knew the reason why the band disbanded, she was still powerless to do anything about it.

How should I explain to Mortis that Xiangzi is different?

How can I make Mortis understand the position of Xiangzi in his heart?

The air was filled with uneasiness and anxiety. Mu stared at the doll in silence, and they could only see their own reflections in each other's eyes.

"No, it's just that, Xiaomu."

Mortis shook her head slightly. She softly denied Ruoye Mu's point of view, her eyes were extremely firm:

"The Xiangzi that Xiaomu remembered no longer exists. Now, this person named Fengchuan Xiangzi will only continue to hurt Xiaomu."

As an individual created to prevent Xiao Mu from getting hurt, Mortis hates the source of Xiao Mu's hurt.

Shoko Toyokawa, a hateful guy.

"I..." Ruo Yemu was suddenly speechless.

No...

We have so many memories between us...

The memory of Xiangzi is always so warm. We relied on each other and formed CRYCHIC...

How can I give up so easily...

Didn’t we agree that... we would form a lifelong band and share a common destiny?

Ruoye Mu bit his lower lip tightly, stood there in a daze, and recalled all the previous agreements.

[Xiao Mu, let's form a band together? ]

"wrong."

Mortis interrupted Mu's thoughts and woke him up from Xiangzi's fantasy.

"Xiao Mu knows that Xiangzi can't fulfill the promise now. Even so, Xiao Mu still chooses to believe Xiangzi instead of the more normal Rin?"

"Xiangzi and Xiaomu did have many good memories, but so what? Xiaomu only likes the Xiangzi in her memory, right?"

dong dong dong.

Mortis stepped forward slowly.

Its body gradually grew larger, becoming more refined and three-dimensional, and eventually transformed into a green-haired girl who looked exactly like Wakaba Mutsu.

Delicate, cute, but paranoid.

Mortis gently hugged Wakaba Mutsu, who was in a state of confusion, and the two girls hugged each other tightly.

She put her head close to Mu's ear, blew a gust of warm air, and said softly:

"If Xiaomu is stuck in memories, he has plenty of time to create more beautiful memories with Lin."

"If we accumulate beautiful moments little by little, Rin's position in Xiaomu's heart will probably surpass Xiangzi's, right?"

"Xiao Mu, why don't you give it a try? Try using Rin as Xiangzi's meal replacement and never get yourself hurt again?"

The girl's gentle persuasion sounded like the whisper of a nightmare in Ruoye Mu's ears, peeling off her fragile heart layer by layer.

Just like Mortis said.

It is an indisputable reality that Xiangzi cannot make a lifelong commitment to Mu.

The beauty is interrupted, but life must go on.

Life is long, and a person's life cannot stop because of the disbanding of a band.

If someone could stay with me until the end and occupy most of my time... I guess this is the life I want, right?

But...what about her past with Xiangzi?

"No..." Ruoye Mu murmured.

Can't forget.

Refuse to forget.

She will probably never forget CRYCHIC for the rest of her life, right?

"Xiao Mu!"

Mortis shouted, frowning at the silent Wakaba Mutsu, and grabbed the other's shoulders with both hands.

"Xiao Mu doesn't have much of a chance!"

"Although I don't understand, since even Xiaomu is attracted to her, I'm sure many people around Lin will also be attracted to Lin. Then Xiaomu will no longer be needed by Lin!"

Although Mortis could not truly feel reality, she learned some lessons from Mu's perspective and applied them to little Mu.

Outstanding people will always unconsciously attract people around them, exuding their unique charm, and may even end up being fought over by everyone.

"If you keep hesitating, Xiaomu will definitely get hurt in the future! And Xiaomu will hurt the people around him, and end up becoming exactly the same as he is now."

Mortis tries to awaken Wakaba Mutsu, rescue him from the vortex of self-entanglement, and start a new life.

Unfortunately, Mortis' efforts were in vain because the person she was facing was Wakaba Mu, a band girl with an unstable mental state.

Wakaba Mutsushi, who was invited by Toyokawa Shoko to play in a rock band, has an unusual personality.

"Shoko is important...Rin is important too...I won't give up on Shoko so easily..."

"Mortis, go back."

Wakaba Mu shook his head and firmly pronounced his judgment on Mortis. His tone, which was once confused, now carried a hint of unquestionableness.

"Why? Xiao Mu!"

Mortis still couldn't understand.

Why should we miss such a person who only hurts ourselves?

It’s just a band… is that so?

It doesn't matter who you replace. At worst, Xiao Mu can just find a more suitable band, right?

Why bother with the dead CRYCHIC?

"..."

But the only response to Mortis was Ruoye Mu's silence, and Mortis' desperate questioning echoed in the deserted space.

The girl seemed not to want to hear her say another word.

In response, Mortis silently loosened his hand, sighed softly, and a look of helplessness appeared in his eyes.

She took a few steps back, her dark green hair falling on her shoulders, her expression revealing loneliness.

"Ah, I understand, Xiao Mu."

"but......"

On the empty stage, Mortis left her last words of advice, which reached Wakaba Mu's ears clearly.

"I believe that there will be a day in the future when Xiaomu will need me..."

Mortis turned back into the puppet he was before, staggering to the ground, lifeless.
