A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

So she didn't answer, but just lowered her head slightly. Even though there was no expression on her face, her heart was already in a mess, and she was hastily dealing with the chaotic emotions.

Aoi took this action as a tacit agreement. She was like this in her dreams. She was used to taking Mu's silence as a tacit agreement and would do many things on her own. However, Mu did not dislike her.

She had completely given up resistance.

Even though her previous guess was more likely, and even though she knew that Aoi's estrangement was a fact, she still wanted to indulge in this gentle embrace and was unwilling to struggle.

She is like a little grass eager to grow, and the sunflower is her sunshine and water, giving her all the nutrients to survive.

It doesn't matter if the conversation is actually really boring.

They sat like this for only thirty minutes, and Aoi only talked about interesting things that happened at school, with almost no substantive content. But when Aoi stood up to pay the bill, Mu felt a strong sense of regret.

But she didn't dare say it out loud, she just sat there quietly, staring at Aoi with her golden eyes as she walked towards the counter, letting her mood be swallowed by the heaviness.

"what……"

Aoi let out a surprised little cry. She was standing in front of the counter, staring at the black screen of her phone in astonishment, as if she had just discovered that the phone had run out of battery and turned off. She was pressing the power button helplessly.

After a while, after finding that she couldn't turn on her phone, she chose to pay the bill with the cash in her wallet. Then, she sat back in front of Mu with an awkward expression.

"Sorry...my phone seems to be out of battery and turned off. Xiao Mu, do you know where to charge my phone nearby?"

After all, modern people are used to saving bus cards and other things in their mobile phones. It would be very troublesome to get to the station if you lose your mobile phone. Using cash is also not an option. The banknotes that Kui brought are too large. In this case, if you want to go home, you either have to call your family or take a taxi.

Although taking a taxi was not a problem at all with her pocket money, the good habit of saving money she developed in her previous life still made her decide not to spend more money if she could solve the problem.

Although Mu didn't know her predicament, she could easily think of the problem of her cell phone being out of battery and unable to enter the station. Under this opportunity, her brain was completely given over to her honest heart.

"Wouldn't it be nice to take a bus home?"

she asked.

"Hmm... I should have had more change. I'm so unlucky today!"

Aoi scratched her cheek sheepishly. "Or, Xiao Mu, can you lend me your phone? I want to call my family."

"……Need not."

Mu stared at Aoi expressionlessly, staring at his own reflection in Aoi's eyes.

"My home is not far away."

She said this without any deep thought, almost without even thinking it through.

She actually just wanted to find a way to get Aoi to chat with her for a while longer, no matter what method, as long as she could indulge in this warmth for a while longer, she could say anything.

Therefore, she did not regret it. Even when Aoi was stunned and stared at her blankly, not knowing what to say, Mu did not change his words.

He just stared at Aoi silently, waiting for her request to take effect.

Chapter 161 Your house is also quite big?

"Uh...Xiao Mu, do you mean that you want me to go to your house and sit for a while first?"

The atmosphere was a little tense. After a while, Aoi came back to her senses, a slightly unnatural smile appeared on her face, and she asked softly.

She didn't remember Xiao Mu being such a friendly kid... Why did he suddenly make such an abrupt request?

But if you think about it carefully, Xiao Mu doesn't talk much, and I haven't seen her getting along with other people. She must be a gentle child at heart, so it's normal for her to kindly make such an invitation.

Do you want to agree? Do you want to refuse?

Because Xiao Mu doesn't seem like the type of person who would simply say polite words, and most of what she says is serious... But they have just met in real life after all, so wouldn't it make her seem casual if she agreed to it so shamelessly?

A trace of cold sweat slid down Aoi's face, and she gradually felt that Mu's gaze was becoming hotter and hotter.

"Ah."

Mu simply nodded nonchalantly, his expression expressionless and delicate, like a doll, revealing no readable emotions. He even added, "You can stay the night."

It’s not that Aoi hasn’t been to her house before. They have watched movies together and enjoyed their ordinary yet happy daily lives together.

Although it was all just a dream, Mu still cannot forget what Aoi said.

If Aoi really doesn't want to stay away from me and doesn't hate me, then she probably won't be reluctant to visit my house again, right?

Mu thought so.

".Yes, will it be too much trouble for Xiaomu and his family?"

Aoi smiled and said, "Well, it's not like I can't go home after all..."

Hearing this, Mu lowered his head slightly and did not respond.

She wasn't really dull and slow, she could understand the meaning of all the words, so she could naturally hear that Aoi was refusing.

Generally speaking, as long as the other party shows the intention to refuse, it is meaningless to continue persuading her, because she has already got the answer - it seems that Aoi does not want to go to her house, and the happiness and tranquility she feels are all due to Aoi's normal warm personality.

In fact, she and Aoi have been strangers for a long time. In her dreams, they were friends who had agreed to accompany each other. In reality, they might pass by each other without even calling out to each other, and would eventually meet and part on some strange street.

The redemption I felt before was just an illusion brought about by Aoi's tenderness...

"Sorry~ I don't want to bother you too much... Can I borrow your phone to call your family?"

Aoi asked with a smile, as if she didn't notice the depressed aura emanating from Mu. Mu didn't say anything else, but silently handed her his phone, lowered his head, staring blankly at the mango juice on the table, not looking up at Aoi again, quietly waiting for her to call.

After hanging up the phone and handing the phone back to Mu, Aoi continued speaking.

"My family will probably be here soon, Xiao Mu, do you want to stay with me for a while?"

Mu raised his eyes slightly and stared at Aoi who was smiling in front of him, but he didn't know what to say.

She hesitated for a long time before nodding gently, as if she had gone through a long ideological struggle. A barely perceptible struggle appeared on her inorganic, puppet-like face.

"……Um."

It's too cheap, Wakaba Mu.

Even though she realized that everything she received today was Aoi's tenderness, and not their relationship as beautiful as before, she still couldn't suppress her desire to stay by Aoi's side.

Even though she was really sad now and would feel the pain of being alienated when she was with Aoi, she still couldn't bear to let Aoi leave like this.

"Xiao Mu."

When these dual emotions came over her again, making her so depressed that she could hardly raise her head, Aoi's voice came again.

The girl opposite kept smiling and just spoke softly.

"But since Xiao Mu helped me so much, I should show some appreciation, right? A meal alone can't compare to the kindness of a phone and a bank card."

She paused for a moment, and her voice seemed to carry warmth, embracing Mu's lost soul.

"Would you like to come over to my house? I'd at least treat you to dinner, please. Just as a thank you. My family would probably be very happy if you could come."

Mu felt that his world, which had been gradually becoming darker, was suddenly lit up.

We had only had a friendly relationship in a dream, and had only established a deep friendship in a dream, but why...

She would feel so tormented and yet so happy.

"Go."

Mu secretly clenched his hands and nodded slightly.

She no longer wanted to think about it so much. Even if she was just being fooled or treated with superficial tenderness, she would hold that hand tightly.

"...Go."

Recalling every detail of the dream and gazing at the smiling Aoi in front of him, Mu couldn't help but repeat it.

Her wish for today was half fulfilled, and the time she spent with Aoi was extended as she wished. The two of them just sat there and continued chatting, waiting for Aoi's mother to arrive.

It was during the casual chat that Aoi finally found the opportunity to ask a question that had always concerned her.

"By the way, Xiao Mu, do you like the band?"

Mu didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, because the first sentence that came to her mind was what she had said in the recording studio.

I've never been happy playing in a band.

So, does she like the band?

Mu couldn't answer.

"……do not know."

At least, she couldn't say that when Aoi was in the band.

"Well, I thought Mu-chan really liked bands. After all, there are a lot of girls in Ikebukuro who are band girls, right?"

Aoi smiled and said, "Where's Xiaomu? Is he forming a band outside?"

Although the Mygo simulator has failed, she is still very curious about the connection between this set and Crychic. Xiaomu rarely appears throughout the whole round, and Xiangzi often slacks off on the sidelines. The team even broke up before it was about to join in.

Maybe the two of them separated and formed their own bands?

However, Mu quickly denied this guess, shook his head slightly, and answered.

"No."

After all, whether it was Crychic in reality, in her dreams, or when she was invited by Su Shi, it was others who took the initiative to extend a hand, and she had never tried to join any band on her own initiative.

She is a child who nods when someone needs her.

She seemed to have vaguely heard before that Xiangzi was planning to restart the band, but she had not heard the detailed plan. She also thought that if Xiangzi invited her, she would nod and agree without hesitation.

But Xiangzi never came to see her.

Perhaps, just like Su Shi and Aoi, Xiangzi no longer needs her.

Ding-dong-

The crisp notification tone of the mobile phone suddenly rang, causing Ling Mu to raise his eyebrows in confusion. After nodding apologetically to Aoi, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it.

I saw a message from Xiangzi displayed on it.

[Mu, do you have time recently? I want to talk to you tomorrow.]

Chapter 162 Why do you two quarrel every day?

At the same time, in Kawasaki City, on a street covered in darkness, Nina was leaning alone against a vending machine on the street, tightly holding a can of drink in her hand.

The low pressure surrounded her, enveloping her like an invisible whirlpool, making it impossible for her to control her thoughts, and her mind was filled with all kinds of complicated ideas.

The gloomy emotions pierced her soul like a thorn, drilled out of her body, and scattered countless bright red fragments.

Maybe I shouldn't go to Shimokitazawa today, and shouldn't ask about Aoi's situation...

She originally just wanted to chat with Aoi, and didn't even make any clear plans, even if it was just a simple introduction to each other and meeting the girl who wrote "Black Sheep" in real life.

In reality, they were just strangers, not even acquaintances, but isn't memory the most important measure of human connection? It's precisely because of countless precious memories that friends are friends, family is family, and lovers are lovers...

Everyone clearly remembers it, and the memory in the dream is so clear and real, but why...

Why didn't Aoi choose their band to perform as the warm-up band?

Is it because he's already formed his own band that he's embarrassed to see them? Or does Aoi simply not care about this memory and think their band isn't a relationship worth remembering?

Or maybe Aoi didn't actually have this dream at all? But that didn't make sense. There was no reason why everyone else would remember it, but she alone wouldn't...

Could it be that, as everyone had discussed before, Aoi was actually a succubus lurking in the human world? Dreams were merely her nourishment, absorbing nutrients from everyone's dreams while remaining completely oblivious to the memories within.

The more I think about it, the more confused I become, and the worse it gets.

At times like this, you should stay calm, but even if you do, you can't let go of this anger, so Rencai chooses not to stay calm.

She directly called Taoxiang, who was still working the night shift, and shook her frantically to get her to come out, deciding to fight her to the death here.

As the most well-behaved, radical and rebellious lead singer in the entire band, Renai has made her decision this time. No matter what the truth is, she doesn't care. She decides to sign up for the Live review of the warm-up band and beat up all the bands that come to warm up. Let Aoi see how big the gap is between the band she is optimistic about and the "thornless" ones!

She had already decided to declare war, and this time she finally decided to take action and use everyone's strength to express her dissatisfaction to Aoi!

In the dream live, they smashed the place of Tsurukawa's students, and this time, it was finally Aoi's turn.

Because not only will they participate in the review live, but they will also win and become the only opening band, and take away the fans that originally belonged to the ending band at the independent live, proving that they are the better bandmates!

"We...are not wrong!"

Rencai clenched the drink can in her hand even tighter, muttering to herself.
