In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

"After holding my first large-scale commercial live."

Chen Xinghua's ears caught the key words and he shook his body violently. He no longer cared about the "little things" such as why Chihaya Aine ran away when she saw Xiangzi, or that she had not let go of his hand.

"Ending the band? Ah...disbanding?"

"why?"

Chen Xinghua subconsciously closed the distance between himself and stared at Chihaya Aine's gray eyes in confusion.

At this moment, he was completely oblivious to the behavior between himself and Aine, which seemed a little too intimate.

After all, no matter which passerby passes by here, there is a high probability that this man and woman holding hands with their faces less than 20cm apart will be called a couple?

"Why did they disband...was it because of the pressure of life or the pressure of school?"

Chen Xinghua murmured, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"Or is it because of some other reason?"

If the band disbanded, Chen Xinghua felt that Yili would probably become a pretty otaku who stayed at home all day playing guitar and occasionally playing games.

This kind of thing... you can only accept it helplessly. After all, if you let Yili go out to work like this, when you come home at night, you will probably see him curled up in the trash can in front of the house, not wanting to go out to work.

Chapter 245 Unless Aine is a stalker.

“…Is it because of life?”

Before waiting for Chihaya Aine's answer, Chen Xinghua quickly stated his speculation.

"Because being in a band doesn't make money, do we have to disband the band and go work together?"

He shook his head, dismissing the fate of most commercial bands.

Because Yili doesn't look like he can go out to work with everyone else.

"Or did you disband the band because your family didn't support you?"

He went on to talk about one of the main reasons why the band broke up.

Chihaya Aine looked at Chen Xinghua's somewhat panicked expression, and the hand holding his arm tightened even more, as if she wanted to hold him tightly in her palm.

But Mr. Chen Xinghua, who was busy thinking about why the band disbanded, was completely unaware of this.

"Could it be because...?"

Chen Xinghua frowned, trying hard to think of the reason for the band's disbandment.

"I'm sorry, I don't know why the band disbanded."

Chihaya Aine turned her head and glanced at the scene outside the alley.

It seems that Goto-san is particularly important in Xinghua's heart.

This is the first time I've seen him show such a big emotional fluctuation.

"All I know is that they fell apart after the first commercial performance."

A large black windbreaker passed by the alley, bringing up gusts of breeze.

"Can you tell me more about what you know... everything about ending the band?"

Chen Xinghua lowered his head, trying hard to suppress his inner excitement.

At this moment, Chihaya Aine's sight was vaguely fixed on the outside of the alley. She inexplicably felt that the woman in the black windbreaker who just passed by the alley looked a little familiar, as if she had seen this woman in the windbreaker somewhere before.

But soon Chen Xinghua's voice brought her back from her memories.

"Aine, can you tell me?"

For an avid fan, recognizing his or her idol is a basic skill, no matter whether the idol appears in formal attire, a windbreaker, a hood, or glasses.

But unfortunately, Chihaya Aine's admiration for Sankaku Hatsuka can only be called a shallow fan at best.

"sure……"

Chihaya Aine quickly shifted her gaze to Chen Xinghua, and she found that Chen Xinghua quickly suppressed the uneasiness he had just shown.

"Because we are friends."

The kind that lasts a lifetime. Chihaya Aine then added in her heart.

Now she is no longer the same person who was in a defenseless state and would reveal her emotions anytime and anywhere when she first received her own memories from the parallel universe.

"Of course friends should help each other."

Chihaya Aine raised her head, bringing her grey pupils to the same level as his, like a hunter looking at his chosen prey.

"You helped me in the past, now it's my turn to help you."

Now, there was no gravity in the girl's eyes, only the determination to help her friend.

The eyes are the windows to the soul, but the windows can be deliberately closed, or even covered with landscape pictures to pretend to be something else.

"Thank you, Aine."

Chen Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief. The past cannot be changed, but the future can be changed...especially when you know what the future will be like.

"Um... did you know what happened to Ave Mujica in your 'dream'?"

Chen Xinghua suddenly asked something that sounded a bit nonsensical to Chihaya Aine.

Why ask Ave Mujica? Chihaya Aine thought about this question while searching for information about Ave Mujica in her mind.

In many cases, people's thinking is coherent, especially when thinking about certain important issues.

Just like when a high school student reports his college entrance examination results to his parents, he will not mention for no reason that a couple broke up at school yesterday.

So, he asked Ave Mujica at this time, perhaps because of what he was worried about earlier. Chihaya Aine made an uncertain guess.

But what does Ave Mujica have to do with him?

Of course, it is also possible that Xinghua is an avid fan of Ave Mujica and particularly wants to know the future of Ave Mujica.

Chihaya Aine believes that she cannot see through other people's minds as accurately as she can read their minds.

"I don't know. In my 'dream', Ave Mujica doesn't exist."

Chihaya Aine answered truthfully, "Maybe it's because of the butterfly effect, so things happened in reality that were different from what happened in the dream."

"It's like in a dream, as if we had never met."

Chen Xinghua chewed over the information given by Chihaya Aine.

“Isn’t it established?”

After digesting the food called information, he raised another question.

"So, Aine, do you know if there's any particularly famous pianist in your dream...preferably one who debuted as a teenager."

"It doesn't matter if it's in the band or as an individual."

If he existed in Chihaya Aion's dream, he felt that even if he did not form AveMujica, he would use other methods to obtain resources in the music industry for Goto Ichiri.

"sorry, I do not know."

Chihaya Aine wrote down another message.

Speaking of pianists who debuted as teenagers, there aren't many in Chihaya Aion's memories. After all, even in her memories, band is a term specifically for girls.

"That's it..."

Chen Xinghua sighed again, "Ain, do you know how much the band achieved before disbanding?"

"As for the results, there are some."

Chihaya Aine touched her sweaty cheek and reminisced about one of her favorite bands.

Although the band disbanded as quickly as most high school bands that dream of pursuing a professional career, at least they still left behind some songs before disbanding.

"Guitar, Loneliness, and the Blue Planet, and If I Could Become a Constellation..."

Chihaya Aine recited the band's closing song like a familiar figure.

The more Chen Xinghua listened to what Chihaya Aine said, the more cold sweat he broke out on his body.

It would have been fine if Aine had just named "Guitar, Loneliness and the Blue Planet", because the last time he and Ichiri went out for a street performance, Aine was there too.

But now, Aine named the song that only existed on Ichiri's paper, which greatly increased the authenticity of the "dream" she was talking about.

...Unless Aiyin is a perverted stalker who sneaks into other people's homes and secretly reads their diaries. Thinking of this, Chen Xinghua also laughed at his own sense of humor.

Chapter 246 Chihaya Aine!

“But it eventually disbanded.”

Chen Xinghua said in a low voice.

"Ah."

Chihaya Aine lowered her head, not knowing what to say to comfort Chen Xinghua.

She knew how terrible it was to suddenly realize the band's tragic future before the band's conflicts became apparent.

It's just like a high school student before the college entrance examination begins, who feels desperate when he learns from his future self who has come back from a time machine that the deviation value of his future college entrance examination score will not reach the goal of attending the school he wants.

Although efforts now might be able to break this hopeless ending, this tiny hope cannot completely dispel the despair in me.

A silent and oppressive atmosphere began to spread between the man and the woman.

After a while, Chihaya Aine finally spoke to break the oppressive silence.

"Actually, in my 'dream', the band only has four members from beginning to end...without a keyboard player."

"That's what it says on the Internet."

"More detailed personal information... I don't know."

Hearing this, Chen Xinghua took a deep breath.

So, in Ain's 'dream', she probably neither fought for resources in the music industry for Ichiri nor debuted with the band.

It's as if it doesn't exist.

So what should I do then...? Should I write more light novels about toilet paper in another world to earn money to support Ichiri who is staying at home after his band failed?

Chen Xinghua suddenly felt that this was very possible.

At this moment, Chihaya Aine looked at the gradually darkening sky and felt that she would most likely not be able to go to that particularly fun place with Xinghua today and carry out the trip she had planned for a long time.

"Should we go somewhere more private and discuss things?"

…but there are alternatives.

Chihaya Aine looked towards the alley entrance. To be honest, she really felt that this place was not suitable for discussing things for a long time.

Although this is only one of the reasons.

"It seems so. This place is really not suitable for discussing private matters."

As he spoke, Chen Xinghua turned and looked towards the end of the alley.

If someone passed by here, they would definitely be able to easily see him and Aine hiding in the alley.

Wait, what is that.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a familiar blue hair appearing at the end of the alley, causing his narrowed eyes to widen considerably.

So his body moved before his mind, and he subconsciously took Chihaya Aine's hand and pulled her to another corner to avoid the sight of the owner of the familiar blue hair.

Things have different priorities, and it is obvious that Chen Xinghua feels that it is more important to find out what might happen in the future from Chihaya Aine's mouth than to explain to Toyokawa Shoko... and make up the story of why Chihaya Aine pulled his hand and ran away just now.

If you want to explain it, you can do it later when you have time.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Chihaya Aine felt as if every muscle in her body was submitting a written protest to her, mercilessly recounting the consequences of her intense running just now.

She leaned sideways, lowered her hands, and touched her calves, trying to relax that area.

But unfortunately, her actions did not have much additional meaning other than making her feel that her white over-the-knee socks were covered in sweat.
