Mygo, the band legend of Tokyo handsome guy

Inside the CIRCLE studio.

While Shoko Toyokawa took to the stage, Roselia on stage was still immersed in the atmosphere of the music.

Seats are full.

The cheers were deafening, like a thunderous roar. Those caught in the din felt as if they were adrift on the ocean.

Everything turned out alright, though there were some close calls.

Amidst a cluster of fierce roses, Toyokawa Shoko's swaying figure, like a lotus leaf in the rain, brought a new kind of music to the world with the gentle touch of her keyboard.

When it was all over, Roselia celebrated with various hugs, while the biggest hero of the night had quietly slipped away.

Toyokawa Shoko had changed back into her clothes.

When Naruzawa Kaede saw her at the backstage exit, Toyokawa Shoko, who was looking around for someone, also saw him.

Toyokawa Shoko's whole demeanor brightened. She took two quick steps, reached out and rushed over, laughing as she said, "That was amazing! This band is incredible."

"Feng, I feel so great! I feel..."

Toyokawa Shoko held Narusawa Kaede's hand, and Narusawa Kaede let her shake it. "How about we have a big meal tonight? It's on me."

Toyokawa Shoko chuckled, "If you're rich, then have a big meal. Let's go buy groceries. I'm in a good mood today—"

“A…SA KI?”

When the all-too-familiar voice came, Toyokawa Shoko froze for a moment.

A flat tone, a brief address.

Only that person. The name I'd grown up with, now made Toyokawa Shoko's scalp tingle.

She forgot what she wanted to say and just mechanically turned her head.

Not unexpected.

It's peace.

I haven't seen him since that day... How could we possibly run into each other here?

Naruzawa Kaede recognized her from behind.

Right in front of them stood Mutsumi Wakaba, wearing the Tsukimori Junior High School uniform. Not far away, there were many other Tsukimori students in uniforms who had formed small groups.

What kind of event is it?

[Xiang is here... the keyboardist from earlier... it really was him. But why... is Xiangzi with that strange man like this...?]

Mu Yi was always expressionless. Facing Xiangzi, she tried to force a smile, but failed.

Ruoye Mu said, "Xiang, it's been a long time."

The gilded liquid boiled and exploded! In an instant, the shattered droplets split into countless windows, each containing a lengthy discourse on something.

Mingze Feng's eyes were blurry.

Can't see it at all.

Mingze Feng quickly looked away, then looked at Xiangzi, who was hiding behind him for some reason, and washed his eyes.

[Shy: Ahhhh! Mutsu saw me like this...]

So it was just shyness?

Mingze Feng stepped forward, "Hello, I'm Xiangzi's friend. I guess you already know, please keep our event a secret."

"..."

Ruoye Muku stared blankly at Narusawa Kaede's outstretched hand.

After a long while, when Mingze Feng was still unsure if she could regain her senses, she softly hummed in agreement.

All the words in the world can be summed up in one sentence.

[Saki, so you still don't want to see me...]

Chapter Fifty-Eight: The price of easily extending one's hand to a puppet is becoming a puppeteer.

Naruzawa Kaede had already confirmed this. The less narration, the more dialogue is delivered, and vice versa. Yamada Ryo's descriptions are lengthy, while Toyokawa Shoko's narration today consists of only a few sentences.

And Ruoye Mu... she seemed to be surrounded by a golden halo.

While Wakaba Mutsu was in a daze, Narusawa Kaede also squinted, trying hard to find useful information.

After removing the dazzling array of wild thoughts, this is roughly it.

Saki is still avoiding me.

Saki...Soyo keeps asking me where you went. I did as you asked and didn't tell her...

Saki...can you tell me how you've been lately? Why are you avoiding me...is there nothing you want to tell me...? I...I've been waiting for your call.

Why...can't I even look at myself...?

[This man...is his name Naruzawa Kaede...? Ah, he extended his hand...is it a handshake?]

【shake hands...】

If Ye Mu thought of it, he should raise his palm and then place it in the other person's palm.

[What a strange person... their hand has been sitting here without moving.]

Because her thoughts were so chaotic and disorganized every day, Ruoye Mu's reactions were always slow. Even when she greeted someone in the academy, by the time she responded, the student who greeted her had already walked away.

Wakaba Mutsu didn't feel anything special about this; he was used to it.

Initially, one person stayed by her side, waiting for her reaction; he followed Xiangzi closely.

Later, two people were willing to stay by her side and wait for her to come to her senses; they were both in the Moon Forest.

But now, she's alone again, accompanying her in the Moon Forest...

Moreover, Mu cannot respond, nor can he meet that person's expectations.

silence.

Ruo Yemu could only remain silent, only knew how to remain silent.

Because once you open your mouth, things can easily get worse.

It would break my promise to Xiangzi.

If listening could solve problems, if everything could go back to the way it was, Auntie wouldn't have left, and Xiangzi wouldn't be so tired...

If Ye Mu lowered her eyes, how much turbulent sorrow could be hidden in her calm gaze beneath her bangs?

Wakaba Mutsu: "..."

Only then did Wakaba Mutsu raise her hand, and Narusawa Kaede stepped forward and grabbed it. Then she pulled Toyokawa Shoko out from behind her.

I have a feeling that if Xiangzi continues to hide, something terrible will happen.

Mingze Feng is kind-hearted and can't stand seeing such things happen.

Narumawa Kaede held Wakaba Mutsumi's right hand and Toyokawa Shoko's left hand, then clasped Mutsumi and Shoko's hands together, shaking them up and down, and asked with a smile.

"You two haven't seen each other for so long, aren't you going to say anything?"

Both Toyokawa Shoko and Wakaba Mutsu were stunned by his sudden action.

Ruoye Mu looked down at their three hands clasped together, her lips pursed. A flicker of light appeared in her usually calm eyes.

[...good person]

Toyokawa Shoko glared fiercely at Naruzawa Kaede, but when she saw him wink at her, she vaguely remembered... this person didn't seem to be a decent person.

This guy drinks, plays bass, and changes women all the time.

Could it be that they're planning to target Mutual Aid?

Toyokawa Shoko's initial shyness turned into wariness. Like a lion with its mane bristling, she glared at Narusawa Kaede with a sharp gaze, as if to say...

Don't drag Xiao Mu into our business. If you dare lay a hand on Xiao Mu, I'll expose you, you believe me?

He's back. The good-natured Xiao Xiang who always dares to argue with everyone is back.

"Ok?"

Toyokawa Shoko glared at Narusawa Kaede and let out a soft snort.

Isn't he very attentive to Xiao Mu? His social skills are off the charts. How come he can't even see his childhood sweetheart is so depressed now?

Is it that people can't tell, or that they've just gotten used to it?

Confirming that Toyokawa Shoko had grasped Wakaba Mutsu's hand, Narusawa Kaede took a half-step back.

"Xiang, if you pretend not to see your friends, they will be hurt. Or I can give you some space to catch up."

Only after being reminded by Narusawa Kaede did Toyokawa Shoko notice that Wakaba Mutsu was staring blankly at their clasped hands.

When Mu is in a daze, it means she has encountered something that touches her heart.

"..."

"Mumu..." Just as Toyokawa Shoko was about to speak, Wakaba Mumu raised her eyes and looked at Narusawa Kaede. Toyokawa Shoko followed her gaze.

Mingze Feng waved to the two of them, making a gesture that he was leaving and they could chat.

If they meet on the street, they pretend not to know each other; even Mingze Feng can't stand this kind of drama. Xiangzi, put on your touching performance!

"Ah... um." Toyokawa Shoko sighed, her cheeks slightly flushed. She said to Wakaba Mutsu, "Mutsu, this is Narusawa Kaede... a friend I recently met."

"Don't let his somewhat handsome looks fool you, he's a total jerk. If he contacts you again, remember to tell me..."

She recalled how Mingze Feng had chased and hugged her when he won her over.

Toyokawa Shoko snorted softly, "That guy always does outrageous things. In short, just be careful of him."

Wakaba Mutsu was stunned.

[This...isn't Xiangzi from Crychic...it's from an earlier version, but why...Xiangzi...Xiangzi is smiling, he looks so happy.]

This carefree, innocent look; this radiant, dazzling look.

This is Xiangzi, whose voice is filled with happiness and doting affection between the lines.

This... tone of pride and boasting,

Mingming... should have disappeared along with Auntie...

The Xiangzi standing here now... is the Xiangzi she has known since childhood.

Why... is it because of... that Naruzawa Kaede...?

Mingze Feng gazed at Ruoye Mu, lost in thought. Compared to Mu's chieftain, Mingze Feng felt he was still far from adequate in perceiving Xiangzi's emotions.

Even Mingze Feng himself was a little unsure.

The "Ascending the Auspicious Steps 3.5" sign is still prominently displayed there.

Has Xiangzi really been cured by him now?

Toyokawa Shoko didn't care about Wakaba Mutsu's blank expression.

Toyokawa Shoko knew that Wakaba Mutsu was listening to her. It had been like this for a long time; she would speak, she would do, and she would stay by Wakaba Mutsu's side.

When Ruoye Mutsu responds, she usually just says "um" to indicate that she has received the message.

"Miss Toyokawa—"

After pausing for a moment at the entrance, Roselia began searching for the missing Xiangzi after the performance ended, and found Shirogane Rinko, who had been sitting in the audience, among them.

Rinko Shirogane rushed over, grasped Shoko Toyokawa's hand, and excitedly conveyed her gratitude and joy at her keyboard.

Mu Touren instinctively took a few steps back, as if she had been pushed aside.

Of course, no one was ostracizing her. The members of Roselia greeted her, but she only received lukewarm responses. Even when introducing herself, she only received the name Wakaba Mutsumi.

Ruoye Mu is in a daze.

Ruoye Mu stood there, staring blankly at Xiangzi, who was surrounded by Roselia.

[Xiangzi's...new friends...?...so many]

【Xiangzi...】
