After Boqi moved into my closet, the quiet life is gone forever

"I'm sorry, but it's embarrassing for me to keep putting you under pressure like this, so I'll stop now. It's best not to lose your temper in the future. I understand you're worried about Takamatsu Deng getting hurt, but aren't you underestimating her? Although I haven't known Takamatsu Deng for long, I think she's a surprisingly strong person, even though she looks like a little bird in need of care."

"What do you know about a scumbag like you who only knows how to linger among the flowers?"

"Riki, alright alright, with you and me here, Saki-chan won't cause much harm to Tomorin."

At this time, Aiyin recovered from Chaoyang's head-patting attack and began to comfort Lixi again to calm her down.

And the other side

Gao Songdeng and Xiangzi, who had come to Chaoyang's house as guests, were sitting opposite each other on the sofa with the coffee table behind them, and they did not say a word for a long time.

Su Shi just sat quietly in the middle, waiting for mediation.

Finally, Gao Songdeng seemed to have gained courage, made a decision, and spoke resolutely.

"Yes, I'm sorry... Saki-chan... I didn't explain it properly before. I was too timid at the time. I was always worried that it was because of me that you left. I didn't have the courage to face the disbandment of Crychic, which led to your staying."

"It's nothing. It has nothing to do with you. It was me who wanted to disband the club in the first place."

"No...at the beginning, Saki-chan only said she wanted to quit, she didn't say she wanted to disband. It was me who did it, so the fault for disbanding Crychic wasn't Saki-chan's fault, it was me!"

Xiangzi didn't expect that Gao Songdeng, in order to make himself feel better, took away the thing that made her feel the most guilty.

Xiangzi, who had figured out what was going on, snorted coldly and immediately refuted it.

"Hmph, how arrogant! You actually think you can shoulder this responsibility for me? Tomori, if you think I'll be moved by this, you're completely mistaken. I'll fulfill my responsibilities to the end, and I won't accept criticism that exceeds my responsibilities. So, you're just being unnecessary, understand? Tomori."

"Ah... no, Saki-chan... I just think that even if Saki-chan leaves... it turns out that Crychic can still continue. You just left Crychic to us."

Gao Songdeng looked at his knees and thought about how weak he was in the past.

Seeing the two of them talking about the past, Su Shi couldn't help but recall how entangled she was at the time. She smiled knowingly, no matter how things were in the past, now that they were together, it didn't make any sense to figure out who was right and who was wrong.

"Alright~~Tomori-chan~The crychic incident is over. There's no point in trying to determine responsibility. What's important is what comes next. Let's make peace with Saki-chan. We can put the past behind us and just go back to being friends."

Su Shi imitated Chaoyang and began to hold Xiangzi and Gao Songdeng's hands.

But Gao Songdeng broke free from Su Shi's grasp.

"I... I've always considered Saki-chan a friend, and I haven't had the chance to say thank you yet... Thank you for pulling me out, letting me know about the band, and telling me that the lyrics I wrote were my true feelings. This is the first time I've been able to understand other people's thoughts. It's the first time I've felt needed by others. Saki-chan, thank you!!!"

As Gao Songdeng spoke, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

"……Well……"

Being thanked so much by Gao Songdeng, the softest part of Xiangzi's heart was speechless at this moment.

Facing Takamatsu Deng, the person she felt she owed the most, even though she had forgotten the past after being conquered by Chaoyang, she couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.

…………

Chaoyang, who heard the noise over there, knew that they had broken down the wall of their hearts.

"Okay, Lixi, go over there. Deng and Xiangzi have reconciled."

"What!? That guy!!!"

Li Xi, who was already very angry, looked towards the sofa and immediately flew over.

"...I suddenly feel like an outsider. Am I really redundant? You've already made them reconcile. Isn't it time for MYGO to end?"

"No, we've reconciled. Crychic's demise is a settled matter, and there's no need for a revival. The MYGO you lead will definitely be far superior to the Crychic founded by Xiangzi."

"how is this possible?"

"How is it impossible? I'm here~~~ I'm your strongest supporter, just like Shoko is the center of crychic. You may not realize it, but the core of mygo is you, Aine."

Aiyin laughed until her eyes watered because she thought it was too outrageous.

"Ahahaha, seriously, even if you like me so much, you can't call a horse a zebra~~, we all know the core is tomorin~~"

Although Aine likes to call herself the captain of mygo, she actually has already recognized in her heart that the actual captain is Riki and the core is Takamatsu Touma. She has changed from the girl who formed a band just to show off.

"Really? Although I wasn't involved initially, I've heard about the details from others. Admittedly, you're the weakest of the five in terms of pure musical ability, but this band's story began with you. If you hadn't taken that step back then, I bet they'd still be falling apart, living in the memories of the past."

Hearing Chaoyang's high praise, Aine's already blushing face turned completely red. It felt like steam was coming out of her head.

“…You’re exaggerating!”

"Hmph~ Not really~ You are a true guitar hero~~"

399. Apologize!

"Don't, don't really praise me, I'll be shy~~~..."

Seeing that Aine was indeed a little shy, Chaoyang couldn't help but think of the behavior of another pink-haired girl.

"If this happened to Pochi, he would definitely feel that he was super great."

Hearing this, Aine’s face immediately darkened.

"! Don't compare Goto-san to me!!!"

She had always been criticized for not being as good as her at guitar, whether in the world of lonely rock or in this world.

As a result, I get PTSD whenever I compare myself with Pochi.

"Haha, sorry, sorry. But maybe we'll all live together in the future~~~"

"Oh, I see... Did you think I would accept it so easily?! What do you mean by living together?! Even if you want to start a harem, don't include me without my permission!"

Aiyin was so furious that she and Chaoyang hadn't even established a formal relationship yet, and she didn't expect that he was already considering this matter. She couldn't help but clench her fists. If she didn't know that her strength was too little and it would be useless to hit him, she would have been rude a long time ago.

Chaoyang grabbed his cheek with one finger and said with a slightly embarrassed expression

"I've been avoiding it before, but now it's like this, and since you and I did that by coincidence...are you not going to let me take responsibility?"

“…No matter how you look at it, it seems like you’re the only one enjoying it ahhhhhhhh!!!”

As a girl with common sense who has not been corrupted by Chaoyang, Aiyin naturally cannot accept Chaoyang's words so naturally.

"Matcha Parfini?"

While Aine was still complaining to Chaoyang, Lenai, who was bored watching TV, came over and asked for food.

"Hmm? Have you finished eating what's in the fridge?"

Chaoyang looked over and saw Ayase shaking her head and looking at the empty refrigerator. She had no choice but to take out her phone and think about it.

[There are quite a lot of people here today, so it would be a bit troublesome to ask Ayase to cook.]

Then he unlocked it and handed it to Aine beside him.

"Then I'll order takeout... By the way, does anyone want to eat anything? Aine, you can have some. You should know what girls like to eat anyway."

"Why is it my turn to order takeout? Seriously...o(￣ヘ￣o＃) Look, I'm going to bankrupt you! Lena-chan~ You can eat whatever you want today! Oh, I know a really high-end soba restaurant, let them send some over."

As he spoke, he looked at Chaoyang viciously, as if he was determined to eat Chaoyang out of money.

"It's okay, just order whatever you want."

…………

"Soyorin, please pass me the tissue over there."

"I told you not to call me by that name!"

Everyone was sitting around the dining table, making a lot of noise. The table was filled with various takeout dishes that Aiyin had ordered, including but not limited to Japanese, Western, Chinese, and Korean snacks. Su Shi didn't hide her appearance and directly showed Xiangzi her without a mask, which surprised her.

After seeing Xiangzi's reaction, Su Shi immediately realized this side of herself that she hadn't seen yet and immediately restored her smile, "Here~~Ano-chan~"

After saying that, he handed the tissue to Aine, and everyone else was shocked by Su Shi's pretentious look.

Aine was also a little uncomfortable when she took the tissue because she had been accustomed to Su Shi's slightly cold attitude towards her for a long time.

"Hey……"

Aiyin drawled out the word but was too embarrassed to ask Sushi what this meant.

"Nani..."

Su Shi glared at her slightly and signaled her not to talk too much.

Obviously, the others didn't have such concerns and spoke directly.

"That's the line here, right? Nani, what happened to you just now?"

Riki took over Aine's question and continued asking, and Sushi was obviously unhappy.

"Nani is Nani?"

Aine took over the conversation and spoke again.

"Soyorin, you're completely different when you're with us than when you're with Saki-chan. You've never spoken to me in such a sweet voice before."

"Why do you have to act like a good girl in front of a guy like this?"

Li Xi pointed at Xiangzi and said this rudely.

Xiangzi didn't even look at it and just ate silently.

"Taki-chan~~Don't point your finger at people, it's very rude~~"

Su Shi still had a forced smile on his face and a pretentious voice.

"So could you please stop speaking in such a disgusting voice?"

Li Xi was not polite at all.

Xiangzi looked at her old friends eating and drinking in front of her, and in a trance, it seemed as if time had gone back to the time when they first met in junior high school. It even made her feel a certain throbbing in her heart and also made her very uncomfortable. She deeply felt that this band seemed to have become better and more real without her.

If she could, she would like to get drunk, but unfortunately she is a minor.

"Did you ask them to come here just to show me what they're like now? To reassure me?"

Xiangzi looked at the scenery in front of him expressionlessly and spoke in a low voice.

Chaoyang knew that this was meant for him, so he approached her immediately.

"Don't be so affectionate over there."

Aine made a dissatisfied sound.

"You can't look at Tomori."

Li Xi was also nervous, thinking that Chaoyang was going to be intimate with Xiangzi, and was afraid that Gao Songdeng would see something unclean.

But Chaoyang ignored and did not explain

"How could that be? I didn't think too much about it. I simply wanted you to reconcile. But... they did move on even without you, so you should forgive yourself. You also owe them an apology."

After hearing this, Xiangzi became thoughtful.

There was silence for a while.

He suddenly stood up, attracting everyone's attention, and they were a little surprised at what Xiangzi was going to do.

Some even speculated that he was being harassed by Chaoyang again and was about to fight.

Until Xiangzi walked in front of everyone.

"Everyone... I'm Toyokawa Shoko. You must be wondering why I'm introducing myself all of a sudden. It's because I feel that I hurt some people here. To be more precise, my former teammates, Tomori-chan, Taki-chan, and Soyo-san... I'm sorry. Because of my arbitrary and personal reasons, I betrayed the promise and oath we made. It also caused the subsequent disintegration of your relationship... I'm truly sorry."

At the end, Xiangzi bowed 90 degrees affectionately.

Then he slowly raised his waist and looked at the expressions of the crowd.

Gao Songdeng and Su Shi both had tears in their eyes. Li Xi folded his hands together and turned around when he saw Xiangzi's appearance. A sad expression appeared on his face, and he was secretly missing everyone in the past.

"...Ano-san...thank you for bringing them together again."

Aine was stunned for a moment before she realized that Xiangzi was thanking her.

"Ah... no, nothing. I'm a little uncomfortable with you suddenly acting like this..."

………………

Finally, the happy dinner ended, and Chaoyang's maid arranged rooms for everyone. Everyone started to take turns to bathe, and Xiangzi had finished early. While drying his hair, he walked into his bedroom, which was also Chaoyang's bedroom.

"Hey, hey, it's a shame I didn't record it when I finally saw you being so humble and sincere."

Xiangzi just turned around and said coldly

"Humph, I only did this to get them signed to our agency. I was purely considering the benefits. I thought that this way, they would put aside their grudges and become our band. I have seen their performances and I recognize their potential."

"You're really stubborn..."
