Band members, girls with fermented bean curd, step forward!

That chance encounter with the blue-haired girl led Aine to discover, later while checking her Crychic account, that she had actually met her former keyboardist. Life is truly full of coincidences!

Upon hearing this information, Lixi gritted her teeth and let out a harsh "ha!" She harbored deep resentment towards this "traitor."

Although Akari had seen Xiangzi many times at school, she had always ignored him. Hearing Aine mention Xiangzi made her heart sink.

"W-what?! Sakiko!" The one with the biggest reaction was Ms. Suze.

Miss Su Shi, who had suffered from being blocked, sent Xiangzi so many messages every day without receiving a single reply. It's understandable that she would lose her composure upon hearing news of him.

"Ah, um, I'm sorry everyone, I haven't heard from her since the band disbanded, so I was a bit surprised."

Miss Su Shi tried to salvage her composure after her outburst, while mentally planning her next move.

"Now that I know where Xiangzi is, as long as I see her in person and apologize to her properly, everyone's Crychic can definitely be rebuilt!"

Miss Su Shi activated her extraordinary wisdom

"Moreover, if Xiangzi comes back, Mu will definitely come back too. As long as I kick Aine and Chen out, my plan will succeed!"

Her smile was somewhat forced. Without a keyboard, like Haruhi Kage, absolutely not! If Xiaoxiang found out, she'd be finished!

Everyone fell into deep thought. They had initially thought that Kasuga Kage could perform smoothly, only needing to practice one more song. Now it seemed there were much bigger problems.

A soft, sweet voice suddenly rang out as she took out her notebook and showed it to everyone.

"This...this is the lyrics to Haruhi Kage's lyrics!" Aine exclaimed in surprise.

"Yes!" Lamp nodded vigorously at Aine.

"Love, love music! I used to be in charge of writing lyrics, and now I'm so happy to be able to form a band with everyone! So, let me rewrite a song!"

In order to ensure that his band can continue forever, Deng decided to do everything in his power to help everyone in the band overcome their difficulties.

"lamp!"

Lixi was deeply moved by Deng's expression; no wonder Deng could sing out her innermost feelings! Greatness needs no further explanation.

"Wow, that's really great! But, does anyone here know how to compose music?"

Miss Su Shi felt that her next plan was flawless.

"Why don't we go to Yuqiu and ask Xiangzi to compose the music for us after Deng writes the lyrics?"

The traitor who fled the band first didn't explain anything to anyone and even said such outrageous things to the light! And this Nagasaki Motoyo still wants to ask this "traitor" to compose a song?

Lixi could no longer suppress her anger; she simply could not tolerate this feeling of being subservient.

"Su Shi! It was clearly that traitor who left the band! And he even said such offensive things to Deng!"

Clenching her teeth, Li Xi leaned forward, placing her hands on the table in front of Su Shi.

Her anger was burning fiercely.

"And now you want us to seek help from this traitor?!"

Aine, who was able to get her hands on the big news about Crychic's disbandment, sat a little further away from the table to avoid being caught in the crossfire of this powder keg.

"Lixi"

Deng didn't want Li Xi to talk about Xiangzi like that, and she didn't want to see the band members arguing.

"But Lixi, can you compose music?"

Su Shi's calm words struck Li Xi's heart, which was filled with a sense of inferiority, like a bullet.

Su Shi won't change her plans, not even Li Xi. Besides, if she doesn't ask Xiang Zi for help, who will compose the music? That's an unavoidable fact.

Yes, she can't compose music. No matter how angry she is about Toyokawa Shoko, it doesn't change that fact.

But this time, Li Xi didn't want to lose to this traitor.

The beauty mark at the corner of her eye trembled with her determination, and she squeezed out the next sentence, word by word.

"Then, I will compose the music."

She knew that once those words were spoken, there was no going back. But she didn't want to lose to this former soul of the band; she didn't want to be overshadowed by this "genius" in this new band.

"Li, Lixi?!" Faced with her taking over the composition work, Nagasaki Motoyo was surprised, but also filled with anger towards her former bandmate.

"Why are you stopping me from finding Xiao Xiang?!"

Su Shi was furious with Li Xi for ruining her plans, and her perfect smile was almost impossible to maintain.

"What about Haruhi Kage?! We now have two guitarists, so the original sheet music is completely unusable!"

Miss Su Shi wanted to grasp at the last straw.

"Leave the adaptation to me as well."

Miss Lixi revealed a resolute look in her eyes. Having already put on a brave face, one more problem wouldn't make a difference.

"Okay, okay~ It's great that Lixi can be the composer~"

She felt nauseous from the insincere words. Su Shi gently pressed her hands against her chest, trying to ease the discomfort.

"Li Xi, you can do it!"

The encouragement from the lamp brought some comfort to Lixi, who had reluctantly agreed. But the burden on her shoulders grew heavier and heavier.

Sensing that the band atmosphere wasn't conducive to continuing the conversation, Aine timely announced their disbandment. She wanted to ask Akari about the reason for Toyokawa Shoko's departure, but Akari couldn't give her an answer either.

As Su Shi and Li Xi walked out of the Ring, in the eyes of Deng and Aine behind them, their figures and steps seemed heavy with worry.

Be sure to read the next chapter, it's so satisfying to read!

Explosion within an explosion

Chapter 26: The Fainting Teacher Daisho, and Xiaozhi and Liang's Fury

After finishing their part-time job at Fanxing, carrying the keyboard exclusively sponsored by Ms. Liang, the two embarked on their journey to Yoshinoya.

It can only be said that Miss Liang is willing to spend extra money on tram fares to travel dozens of kilometers round trip in order to get free meals, just to make the most of her monthly meal ticket.

According to her, only what you get for free is truly yours; other expenses are just external things and not worth mentioning.

Chen's pupils contracted as he spotted a familiar blue-haired figure at the corner of an alleyway he was passing.

He quickly went forward to check on the girl who appeared to have fainted.

"Oh, did Chen have some wicked thoughts about the girl who fainted by the roadside?"

Miss Liang teased Chen, who was examining the blue-haired girl, though she knew he wouldn't think that way.

"Stop joking, she's from the same school as me, we met once."

"Liang, you stay here and watch her. I'm going to the convenience store to buy a Coke and some candy; she might have low blood sugar."

He hurriedly gave Liang instructions and Chen ran towards the convenience store not far away. He hadn't expected that Teacher Da Xiang had fallen so low that he was even suffering from hypoglycemia.

She had short hair, while the unfamiliar lady had long hair.

Miss Liang sized up the blue-haired girl who had fainted on the ground.

Her tightly closed eyes, the noticeably unhealthy color of her lips, and her obviously poor complexion all pointed to malnutrition. Light dark circles also obscured her face.

Her hair color was a bit lighter than Liang's. Two black ribbons tied her hair up on either side, and her beautiful face made even the confident Miss Liang call her a beauty.

Even such a beauty has fallen to such a state; Miss Liang is very curious about what exactly happened to her.

Panting, Chen handed Miss Liang the Coke and candy he had bought from the supermarket, gesturing for her to help the girl up so he could pour the Coke into her mouth first.

Miss Liang knew this wasn't the time to be silly, so she obediently followed his orders.

After feeding her a few sips of cola, Chen forcibly unwrapped a lollipop and shoved it into her tightly closed mouth.

"I'm exhausted. Okay, let's hurry to Yoshinoya."

With the girl on his back, Chen urged Liang on, quickening his pace so he wouldn't be late.

Why did you carry her over there?

Miss Liang didn't understand Chen's behavior; he could have waited until she woke up before leaving.

"If I don't leave now, I'll be late for work, and I don't feel comfortable leaving her here. If I take her over there, I can get her some proper food when she wakes up. I'll have to pay out of my own pocket today, sigh!"

There's no other way; we can't just leave a living person like this, especially Teacher Da Xiang. So, we'll just have to spend a little money.

The person who received the sugar should have woken up quickly, but this person remained unconscious for almost an hour until they arrived at Yoshinoya in Kawasaki.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Clutching her still somewhat aching head, Toyokawa Shoko woke up in the staff break room. Her bewildered eyes looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings, her confusion reaching its peak.

Her memory fragments stopped at the moment she collapsed from exhaustion beside an alley. Recalling this fact, she observed her surroundings.

She found herself in a confined space; she must have been picked up. Could it be a kidnapping? Hearing the commotion outside the room, she became alert.

She stood up, pressing herself against the wall, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the kidnapper who pushed open the door.

"Okay, okay, I won't pick up random people again. This person is a classmate from my school, I know him."

The sounds outside the door grew clearer as they approached, until the person pushed the door open and entered. Only then did Xiangzi's ears piece together all the information, albeit intermittently.

At this point, she could no longer stop her long-awaited action, and forcefully pushed Chen, who was entering through the door, with both hands.

"Fuck"

Before he could even utter that one exclamation, Chen, who was carrying the beef rice he had prepared for Xiangzi, lost his balance and fell to the ground.

The porcelain bowl shattered on the floor, spilling all the rice inside, leaving the entire break room in a mess.

As a loud noise rose from here, Xiao Zhi, who had just finished cooking a meal, couldn't help but go to check what was going on.

Miss Liang, who was enjoying her meal, put down her chopsticks and ran towards the source of the noise.

Seeing Chen lying on the ground, looking at his pierced hand and crying out in pain from being scalded by the heat of the freshly cooked food, Xiao Zhi lost his composure.

Miss Liang had already gone to take care of the injured Chen. She first patted the scalding hot food off his body, then swept the scattered pieces and rice aside, and then found some emergency cloth strips to bandage his hand.

After completing these emergency treatments, Ms. Liang ran out of the store without saying a word. She needed to go to the pharmacy to buy proper gauze and hemostatic powder; the cut was too large, and the band-aids were no longer effective.

Miss Liang, whose family owns a hospital, was incredibly grateful that she had learned a little about this field in her spare time. Seeing him lying on the ground, injured and groaning in pain, her mind was in turmoil, and her body reacted before her thoughts could process it.

She was naturally furious with the girl Chen had kindly brought back, but she felt that treating his injuries was the most important thing right now.

Seeing that Miss Liang was already taking care of Chen, Xiao Zhi finally felt relieved enough to vent his anger on the girl Chen had taken in.

"You're the one!"

She grabbed the blue-haired girl by the collar, and to her shocked yet relieved expression, Xiao Zhi slapped her hard across the face.

Chen had never seen Xiao Zhi so angry before. That slap was decisive and ruthless, showing no mercy whatsoever.

"After he found you, he bought you Coke and candy to feed you. He was worried about leaving you alone there and was also concerned about being late for work, so he carried you on his back for almost an hour to get to the store."

Anger made Xiaozhi grit her teeth and yell at the person who had hurt her brother. She felt it was not worth it for Chen to save this ungrateful person; she should have just left her in the alley to fend for herself.

Seeing that Chen's hand, which had been hastily bandaged, was still bleeding, Xiao Zhi's anger intensified.

"He kindly paid out of his own pocket to cook you a meal, just in case you were too hungry to stand it when you woke up. Not only did you spill it, but you also hurt him!"

Xiao Zhi grew angrier the more he thought about it, and raised his clenched hand again.

"Okay, Sister Xiaozhi."

Ash, having gathered his full strength, was about to launch his second attack. The blue-haired girl's eyes were tightly closed; she made no attempt to dodge.

Chen's words interrupted Xiao Zhi, who was about to cast a spell.

The pharmacy wasn't far from here; he could already hear Liang's footsteps coming from the shop entrance.

"Go ahead and get busy, Sister Satoshi. It's peak customer season now, and it wouldn't be good if we were late. Oh, she's injured. Right now, only Sister Rupa is available, and she's too busy."

His tone was calm, but the corner of his mouth would twitch from time to time due to his injured hand.

She glared fiercely at the blue-haired girl huddled in the corner, then saw Miss Liang standing before her with the medicine. Ultimately, she heeded Chen's advice and went to work in the kitchen.

After glancing at the man slumped on the ground after Xiao Zhi left, Miss Liang ignored him and went straight to squat down next to Chen, who was leaning against the wall, to properly disinfect, apply medicine, and bandage him.

Chen, in pain from the disinfection with medical alcohol, tightly pursed his lower lip. The pain still contorted his expression, and his breathing became increasingly labored.

With Ms. Liang tying a knot in the gauze, the medical treatment was finally over.

Listening to Chen's increasingly heavy breathing, watching his contorted expression, and hearing his long sigh after the bandaging was finished, Miss Liang found no joy within her. Instead, she felt... a growing sense of worry and an increasingly intense anger.

Slowly rising from beside Chen, she turned to the blue-haired girl who was looking down, lost in thought.
