MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

The more you say, the more mistakes you make; that's the principle at play.

However, the interview itself is not important; what truly matters is what happens after the interview.

If she remembers correctly, she will meet the band's lead singer, Gao Songdeng, after the interview.

"Ah, it's here after all."

As soon as Aiyin stepped out of the teaching building, she caught sight of a figure peeking out from behind the bushes.

If this were a game, the opponent might suddenly jump out of the bushes and display a string of words: "[A wild Takamatsu Lantern has appeared!]"

As expected, things will proceed in exactly the same way as before.

The reason the lamp was crouching behind the bushes was to pick up stones.

Yes, picking up stones.

The lamp has a collecting habit; it collects things it finds cute, including pebbles.

Now is a good time to strike up a conversation.

Of course, it's impossible to start by saying something like, "Let's form a band." Right now, all we need to do is make a good impression on the lights.

Thinking of this, Ai Yin walked over slowly and smiled, "Hello!"

“Ugh!?”

The lamp was clearly startled, its whole body trembling for a moment.

She hurriedly looked up, and Ai-yin's face came into view. For some reason, she froze on the spot, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. She didn't even notice the pebble falling out of her pocket.

Huh? Did I scare her? Aine was a little confused.

But that's not surprising, since this is their first time meeting.

“Tomori… no.” Aine quickly corrected herself, almost using a nickname. She and Touka were now strangers.

She bent down, her tone gentle.

"The stones you picked up seem quite interesting."

""

The lamp blinked, snapped out of its daze, and moved its lips slightly, but only made a soft breath-like sound, unable to form any words.

Then, after some hesitation, he cautiously asked:

"Th-thank you...do you understand?"

I don't really understand it. Although I've tried to understand the world through the light before, I'm still somewhat confused.

The important thing is not whether you understand it or not, but to try to understand it.

"Hmm~ I just think this rock looks a bit like a fish."

"!"

The lamp's eyes lit up slightly.

That seems to be right.

"Yes, it's a fish. This is a Shiba Inu, and this is love—"

"Love?" Ai Yin asked, puzzled.

"Love".

It doesn't look like it at all.

It's more like a peach than a heart shape. At least that's how it looks.

Or is there something in common between peaches and hearts inside the lamp?

For example, it might turn reddish or something similar?

For some reason, Deng's gaze began to dart away, and he hurriedly stood up: "Um, you..."

"I'm a transfer student! My name is Chihaya Aine, you can just call me Aine." Aine's tone was cheerful, and although she was just introducing herself, it gave off a refreshing feeling.

"Aiyin... classmate."

"Ah."

It's not a nickname like "Aion-chan".

But there was nothing she could do about it. Ai-yin thought to herself, still feeling a little disappointed. But Tama was always very perceptive and sensitive; if she showed any sign of disappointment, Tama would definitely see it clearly.

Light touched his arm, looked down, and said, "Ah, my name is... Light. Takamatsu Light..."

"Well then, Gao Song."

Since you're not familiar with each other yet, calling each other that is the most polite way to address each other.

But the next second, the lamp looked like it was about to cry, and its expression became wrinkled.

what happened?

"...Lamp-kun?" Aine tentatively changed the way she addressed him.

This time, the lamp's expression improved a little, though only slightly.

It's completely incomprehensible. Logically speaking, this should be our first meeting, but she looked like she was about to cry when she was called "Takamatsu-kun." Or does Aine have a guess?

Could it be that?

"lamp--"

Before the nickname could be finished, the preparatory bell rang.

Lamp snapped out of her daze and looked at Aine: "Um, Aine-san..."

"Ok?"

"this."

The lamp took a stone out of its pocket and handed it to Aine.

It's a bright, smooth, and round pebble. It's not a gemstone, but it has an air of luxury... Perhaps it's the aristocrat of stones.

"You're giving this to me?" Aine asked in surprise.

This didn't happen when we first met.

"Um... that... a little something to give as a greeting..." Deng stammered.

A greeting gift? Only lantern festivals use stones as greeting gifts.

But every pebble she collected was precious to her, so even the smallest stone, given by the lamp, felt unexpectedly heavy.

But this should be our first meeting.

Would she give a stone to someone she's just met? Aine found it unbelievable, but she still carefully accepted it.

"Have we met somewhere before?" Aine couldn't help but probe.

Deng shook his head.

A lamp's mood is easily reflected in her facial expressions, so her lies are also easily seen through.

If she wasn't lying, then why...? Aine's thoughts were a little confused.

"Sorry, I have to go to class..." Deng said softly.

"I understand. I hope I can be in the same class as Deng."

Deng opened her mouth, but didn't say anything. She just nodded vaguely and then ran towards the teaching building. Watching her figure disappear, Aine took out the pebble she had just picked up and touched it.

It was indeed very smooth, and still warm from the sunlight.

Despite it being their first meeting, Akari's reaction was somewhat unusual. However, she wasn't lying, and her actions were completely inconsistent with the Akari that Aine knew.

If the lamp, like her, also had memories, then it should call her by her pet name.

"Ah, I have a bad feeling..." Aine sighed.

Chapter 3: I Want to Be in a Band for Life

A few more days passed.

"Aine transferred to the school late due to family reasons. We hope everyone can get along with her."

After the homeroom teacher finished speaking, Ai Yin gave a polite smile.

First impressions are very important! Since everything has been traced back to the very beginning, the same applies to her interpersonal relationships in the class.

Leaving a good impression is beneficial for making friends.

Although she doesn't dislike being alone, it wouldn't be fun if high school life were always lonely.

Even if she forms a band, it doesn't mean she has to confine her entire time and world to the band.

Bathed in the curious gazes of her classmates, Ai Yin secretly felt a sense of comfort.

It feels really good to be in the spotlight.

"The location is right behind Takamatsu."

"Good~"

The location is the same as before.

Aiyin stepped down from the podium and slowly walked to her seat. A number of pebbles were laid out on the desk, clearly collected that day. The teachers wouldn't say anything to her; after all, she was the class's undisputed mascot.

"Ah," Deng stared intently at Ai Yin.

"Hello, I didn't expect we'd be in the same class!" Ai Yin said with a smile, her sharp canine teeth faintly visible.

Deng blushed slightly and nodded gently in response.

She sat down, took out her textbooks and notebooks, propped her chin on her hand, and let out a soft breath.

Sure enough, the lesson content remained completely unchanged. She had already memorized most of the key points, and if given a surprise test now, she was confident she would be number one in the class.

But since you can remember 95% of the knowledge points, why not try to achieve 99% or even 100%?

So even in classes she had already attended, Ai Yin listened attentively, thought critically, and took notes.

Is there any hope of becoming the top student in the grade? She couldn't help but think this to herself from time to time.

"Don't doze off. If you're sleepy, get up and do a problem. Let me see—"

Aine raised her hand.

The teacher pushed up his glasses: "Oh? A transfer student... Then you come up here and do this problem, and the one over there will do this one."

The result was obvious; it was a perfect answer.

"Wow, that's amazing! Even though you're a transfer student, you're able to keep up with our school's pace!"

"Does that mean the textbooks are the same?"

When get out of class ended, some students gathered around.

Seeing this, Ai Yin smiled, feeling incredibly happy.

As for the person who wanted to strike up a conversation, seeing Aine surrounded by people, she hesitated for a moment, then got up and left. With so many people surrounding Aine, she felt too embarrassed to squeeze in and speak.

She left... Aine noticed her retreating figure.

But chasing after him at this time would only make him the focus of other people's attention. Even though he's not socially anxious, he would probably feel nervous in this situation.

Yet, this same person, amidst the band's internal conflicts and near disbandment, publicly grabbed her hand and loudly begged her to play guitar and return to the band.

The thought of such a special memory, one that only she could remember, made Aine's mind drift away.

If you want to say anything to Deng, wait until lunch break or after school.

"Does Chihaya play in a band?" a classmate asked curiously.

"I'd like to ask too, everyone at Yuqiu seems to be in a band," another student asked curiously.

I can feel the line of sight.

Ai-yin subconsciously looked towards the back door. There was no one there, but she always felt that the light was there... Maybe it was just her imagination.

"Just call me Aine. We used to hang out at school when we were in junior high," Aine said with a smile.

"At school... it's like a hobby club, right?"
