Taro revealed a confident smile through his singing voice to those who were paying attention: _尔〒亿?傘/邬器jiu锍〡叁』D二, which became "because I am still here!"
"This road to the future—"
"Going my way, let's forge our own path!!"
When the song ended, the servants of the Dong Brothers group finally breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
"Oooo!!!!!"
At this moment, it was confirmed that the song had ended, and the audience cheered to their hearts' content!
Only fifty or so people, yet their cheers seemed to lift the very fabric of the stars—
"Minna-san—how was our live performance~" Aine said sweetly in her business-like voice.
"Oh oh oh—" The audience naturally responded with cheers.
"So, do you feel satisfied?" Aine asked again, picking up the microphone and handing it to the audience.
"Oh oh oh oh oh!" An even more enthusiastic cheer erupted once again.
"Is this enough?" Taro suddenly spoke up. "This level of excitement isn't enough for a festival! It's far from enough!!"
The almost screaming voice once again captivated the audience, and fans of all sorts of people spontaneously cheered along with Taro's shouts.
"Sa-Mazda-da Mazda-da!!!" Taro shouted again, and Aine picked up the conversation perfectly: "Then~ let's ignite our Tou-brothers' festival once again! Please listen to 'Clier Mind'."
"Sigh..." Xingge sighed, "This is just an underground live performance, not some kind of festival, you know."
The performance resumed, and the Dong Brothers' live performance was even better than the last time, naturally stirring up the audience's emotions even more.
"This is the end—let's bring the Dong Brothers' festival to a close! The final song—"
"Floating, floating, swaying with the waves. What kind of happy ending is the goal!"
Standing below the stage, Riki smiled. "Thank you, Momoi Taiko. I won't give up. I'll forge my own path to the future..."
"So let's get the party started"
Chapter 37, Lenai, you're eating again!
After leaving the livehouse, Lixi asked, somewhat stammering:
"Deng, Su Shi, Mu, Xiang, you...didn't you say you were busy last night?"
Yesterday, in order to surprise Lixi, the other three people lied in the group chat that they were busy. Ruoye Mu didn't say anything, but Xiangzi told her on her behalf without her knowing.
"It's to give you a surprise, how about it?" Xiangzi revealed a slightly mischievous smile, which had a unique charm in the sunlight.
"Hmph...it's nothing," Li Xi said, crossing her arms and avoiding eye contact.
"Hey everyone! Sorry to keep you waiting—" A slightly hoarse voice came from not far away, and everyone turned their attention to it.
The pink-haired girl, carrying a guitar, waved and smiled foolishly at them, while the other members of the Dong Brothers group stood behind her.
"Huh?" Li Xi was stunned, staring blankly at Xiangzi beside him. Xiangzi revealed an even brighter smile.
----------
"I see... Taro and Shoko made a promise."
In the Chinese restaurant, Li Xi calmed down a little after listening to Xiangzi's explanation.
"Yes, we were all very worried about Lixi. So we secretly followed her," Xiangzi explained with a gentle smile.
As for why we came to a Chinese restaurant, it's because it's really not easy to find a restaurant in Japan that can fit ten people.
"Speaking of which... why didn't we celebrate at Taro's house like last time?"
“Now people live in my house!” Momoi Taro answered Riki’s question naturally.
"Eh!???" Aine slammed her hand on the table and stood up: "Wait, wait—I've never heard of this—who is it, a friend? A man or a woman?"
“Women,” Wakaba Mutsu began, picking up where Aine left off, then expressionlessly made a peace sign: “There are two.”
"Huh?" Xiangzi's smile froze, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the table with a clatter.
"Huh? Two? General, there must be some mistake?" Ruomai's reaction was also a bit intense.
"Mr. Momoi, there must be some misunderstanding, right?" Suze asked in a calm voice, but her throat could not hide her nervousness.
"No, that's not how it is." Taro said very seriously, and the four of them breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for his next words. They knew that Momoi Taro wouldn't lie, so as long as he denied it, they would believe him.
However, Momoi Taro excitedly laughed and held up four fingers: "Now there are four!!!"
"No way!" Xiangzi slammed his fist on the table and stood up! Pointing angrily at Taro, he said, "Senior!! Four people living together! That's too impure!"
"No... no matter what, four people is a bit..." Aine was startled. Momoi Taro's words were like a heavy hammer hitting the back of her head, and now she was completely dizzy.
Ruomai's eyes flickered as if she had made up her mind. Su Shi shook her head and said firmly, "I believe in Mr. Momoi."
Ruoye Mu looked at the four people thoughtfully and suddenly understood what Xiangzi meant when she talked about it in the practice room last time.
"Xiang, H".
She uttered those words coldly and began to savor the Japanese-style Chinese food on the table.
"Huh?" Xiangzi's expression stiffened, and he asked in confusion, "Wait, what is Mu suddenly saying?"
If Mokuba internally awakens the personality of Toyokawa Moku, but Toyokawa Moku, who has not developed self-awareness after so long, can only be used as a tool.
She mimicked Xiangzi's actions from that day, crossing her index fingers in front of her to make an "X": "Musu! Impure relationships are damnedesuwa!"
"Mu is only 16 years old. He should focus more on his studies than on romantic relationships!"
Xiangzi's face was redder than a tomato, and she squeezed out the words through gritted teeth: "How could Mu still remember such a small matter? It was just a misunderstanding on my part."
Thinking about it now, Momoi Taro, who is related to Wakaba Mutsu, probably wouldn't date Wakaba Mutsu, right?
...No way?
Seeing that the atmosphere was starting to get a little strange, Li Xi quickly brought up a topic: "Speaking of which, what were the masks you guys wore in the live audience earlier?"
"That's Avemujica's later live outfit. What do you think of the design?"
Everyone else in Mygo instinctively looked at Xiangzi, who smiled and waited for their opinions.
"So tacky. And so ugly." Li Xi blurted out what she was thinking. She froze, unsure of what to do, and could only turn her head away and say, "...Thank you."
"Don't mention it, we're bandmates." Xiangzi didn't care at all about Lixi mentioning his mask. This Lixi just doesn't understand what high-class aesthetics are.
“However, we still don’t understand what Riki-chan is thinking,” Su Shi sighed softly, “We only found out after hearing Momoi-san’s song.”
Lixi said softly, a little embarrassed, "Actually, it's the same for me. I only understood after hearing this. Thank you, Taro."
"It's nothing," Taro said, arms crossed and head held high. He didn't seem to care much about Riki's thanks, and simply said, "Are you prepared for the consequences?"
"Yes... I don't know if it's the right idea, but I want to be with everyone... Even if I get hurt or feel lost, I want to move forward."
"Isn't this great? Kasumi-senpai has been worried about you too." Aine said with a smile. She had run into Kasumi on the street that day and had chatted with her for a long time.
Questions like why I haven't been to Meteor Hall lately, how Taro is doing, about the joint live performance, and about Riki, etc.
"Um... I'm sorry," Li Xi said softly.
"But I still care!" Xiangzi stared at Taro with her twin ponytails practically standing on end and said, "Taro-senpai, why are there four women living in your house!"
"Yeah! Four! But four!" Aine chimed in from the side. Although she knew that Momoi Taro wouldn't do that kind of thing, she was still probably quite concerned.
As expected, Momoi Taro gave a general explanation of what Nina and the others were going through.
Aine looked at Wakaba Mutsu with some suspicion: "In that case, how did Mutsu know about this?"
"Found it at Taro's house."
"I see..." Aine pondered. Although those people weren't interested in Taro for the time being, who could say what would happen in the long run? She needed to think of a solution...
Moving in by myself? That doesn't seem like a good idea. Taro's house doesn't look like it can accommodate that many people.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Aine. Ignoring the current situation, she blurted out the words that came to mind:
"Taro, didn't you say before that it would be more convenient for the band members to live together? How's that going?"
Upon hearing this, Aine was instantly impressed by her own intelligence.
There's an old Chinese saying, "Those near the water get the moon first." If this plan succeeds, doesn't that mean I have a great chance?
But if it's built, will Mom and Dad feel comfortable moving in...? Never mind, even if I can't move in, at least it can keep out the threat from those four women who appeared out of nowhere.
"...No one has told me about their need to check in." Taro calmly answered Aine's question, but it caused a huge uproar in the private room.
Does Momoi Taro's statement mean that what Aine just said was true?
"But everyone will agree, right?"
Ai Yin turned her attention to Ruomai. Although she didn't want things to develop this way, reducing potential rivals was definitely necessary.
"Right~ Ruomai-chan~" Ai-yin said in an extremely cloying voice.
"Yes, dear Meow Dream! You're awesome!"
As her best friend, Ruomai immediately understood Aine's meaning: to play behind closed doors. A great strategy! Even I felt a surge of excitement. Thinking this, I couldn't help but imitate Aoba Mocha.
Su Shi and Xiang Zi were also aware of the current situation.
"Damn it!" Xiao Xiang slammed her hand on the table and stood up. Her two ponytails flew through the air in apparent anger as she exerted force. Her face was solemn, and her cheeks twitched slightly.
Then, with a somewhat forced smile, she said, "Chihaya-san and Yutenji-san," and then, as if realizing something, glanced at Hailin:
"There are two other people who are currently minors. Living with adult men would inevitably damage everyone's reputation..."
"Just call me Aine." Aine corrected herself habitually, then paused slightly before continuing, "I don't think it's a big deal, as long as we're okay with each other, right?"
"But the reputation of my senior..." The soft-spoken Xiaoxiang still wanted to struggle, but Ai Yin's words broke her defenses eighty times (not that few).
"Ultimately, this is an internal matter for our band. Isn't Xiangzi overstepping his bounds a bit?"
Ai Yin casually mentioned Yue—Yi Liu ① Qi Yi Erba Temple private scar, which made Xiangzi's already strained smile completely freeze, and his eyes twitched slightly.
“However, what about other people’s opinions…” Su Shi subconsciously tightened her throat, showcasing her superb tightened voice again, wanting to expand the battle lines.
"Then, what does Hailing think?" Ai Yin shrugged and looked at Hailing, waiting for her answer.
Hai Ling glanced at Li Xi's face subconsciously. Li Xi seemed quite interested. After a moment's thought, she calmly said, "I abstain from voting. It's up to you."
