"Good morning... Little Aiyin," Deng turned around and greeted her, then turned back to look at the stones on her table, which she slowly arranged neatly according to her own preferences.
"Are you going today too? To our band's practice room." Ai greeted Deng with a smile, deliberately obscuring the meaning of her words so that the classmates would think she and Deng were in the same band, which would definitely become a topic of conversation.
"Hmm..." Deng turned his head back and nodded.
"Then, let's go together after school?" Ai Yin smiled brightly as she put her guitar aside.
"Yes!" Xiaodeng nodded vigorously.
"Really?" Just as Ai Yin had expected, several classmates immediately surrounded her, bombarding her with questions: "Xiao Deng has formed a band?" "When are they performing live?"
"Um...no, I'm just learning in Ai-yin's band," Xiao Deng explained softly. Ai-yin, standing beside her, maintained a perfect smile, but inwardly she was cursing.
【Huh? Where's my topic?】
Today's plan to steal the spotlight with Ai Yin has failed once again.
However, after school, Aine still went to the Astronomy Club with the other party to tidy up the activity report before going to RiNG.
A girl with flaxen hair wearing the Tsukimori school uniform stood at the entrance of RiNG, carrying a handbag and seemingly waiting for someone. Aine was surprised to find that the girl's gaze lingered on her after she saw her. Oh no, was it because she was too cute that the Tsukimori lady was going to hit on her?
The little pink-haired girl puffed up her cheeks, revealing a perfect smile, ready to greet the young lady's advances.
"Little Lamp, long time no see." The young lady greeted her...and the person beside her with a perfect smile. Oh, so it was someone Little Lamp knew. The pink-haired girl was a little disappointed, but of course, it wasn't visible on her face.
The little lamp beside her responded softly, "Long time no see... Su Shi."
"Someone Xiaodeng knows?" Ai Yin composed herself and asked curiously.
“Hmm.” Deng nodded: “The people from the old band…”
"Little Lamp, what's this...?" The young lady seemed to only just notice the pink-haired girl and asked.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Chihaya Aine. Ah, you can just call me Aine, nice to meet you." It's alright, I'll just use my perfect smile to win over the young lady of Tsukimori and become her friend. When I post it on social media, it'll definitely cause a sensation among my friends.
Surprisingly, Miaomeng's photos didn't get much attention last time. However, her videos received a lot of likes, probably because of Taozi. She touched the corner of her lips with her finger, deep in thought.
Looking at the girl who seemed to be thinking about something, Su Shi smiled and greeted her, "Greetings, I am Nagasaki Su Shi. Nice to meet you."
“Aine… is a member of Master Taro’s band,” Akari whispered in response.
Upon hearing the familiar name, Su Shi stiffened. Although she had anticipated encountering this troublesome person when she came, she still didn't want to hear about him so soon.
“I see. I was also invited by Mr. Momoi Taro. I’m looking for a way to rebuild the band…” Suze skillfully struck up a conversation with the other person using the same topic. From her conversation with Taro yesterday, she knew Xiaodeng’s purpose. Using the same purpose would make it easier to start a conversation.
"Yes!" Little Lamp clutched her chest and said with unwavering determination, "This time, it's definitely... for a lifetime!"
“A lifetime…” Su Shi tapped her cheek with her finger. “Sounds good. This time, it will definitely be a lifetime.”
That's right, for a lifetime. I will never let go of Xiaoxiang's hand for the rest of my life.
【Good weight! 】
A few drops of sweat dripped from Ai's forehead as she mentally complained.
[So heavy! So heavy! So heavy! Is a band really that heavy?! Should I not be here?]
"Um~" she said with a smile, trying to escape the heavy atmosphere, "It's almost time for me to practice~"
After saying that, she slung her guitar over her shoulder and headed towards the practice room.
"Okay, Aiyin, let's go together." Xiaodeng heard this and quickly followed, stopping after taking a couple of steps. She turned back to Su Shi: "Su Shi... let's go together?"
"What should we do?" Su Shi tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, Xiao Deng. I'd like to wait here for Mr. Momoi. You two go ahead."
"Okay!" Takamatsu Akari nodded, then quickly jogged to catch up with Aine.
The people in Mr. Taro's band... seem like vain people, but someone that Momoi Taro took a liking to must have some merits. But for some reason, I don't like what she says.
On the other side, Ai-yin and Tama walked into the practice room, where Miao-meng had already been practicing. The entire practice room was filled with the sound of drums.
Ai Yin didn't even say hello, taking out her guitar to try and familiarize herself with chord changes. Deng sat silently on the practice room floor, taking out her notebook and habitually scribbling and drawing.
Only after the drumbeats of the Nyan Dream stopped did Aine greet Nyan Dream: "Good afternoon, Nyan Dream."
"Good afternoon, Aiko." Meow Dream greeted her little fan with a smile, "You practiced well today, didn't you? If you get scolded by the general again later, I can't help you."
"I practiced really well yesterday." Ai Yin was still a little embarrassed. Her skills seemed to have completely dragged down her teammates. Judging from the drumming just now, Miao Meng was still practicing very seriously, which was quite different from her own short-lived enthusiasm.
However, I didn't want to be a burden to others. So after exchanging a few pleasantries with Miaomeng, I started practicing.
Meanwhile, Taro had just changed his clothes and was about to head to RiNG for band practice when he was greeted by a blue-haired girl with twin tails.
"Good morning, Taro-senpai." The blue-haired girl with twin tails greeted Taro, seemingly in a good mood.
"Good morning, Xiangzi. You seem to be in a good mood." Taro greeted him normally.
"Um, is Taro-senpai going to band practice?" The little blue octopus replied with a smile, bringing up the topic of the band.
"No, I'm going to supervise their practice." Taro said arrogantly in a very calm tone: "I don't need to practice."
"As expected of Taro-senpai." In Shirokuma Express, legends about Momoi Taro are everywhere, such as how he would suddenly walk into a customer's room to clean it and then encourage them. Oh, by the way, Xiangzi's father also experienced something similar.

The most famous legend is that of Momoi Taro, a man of omnipotence, capable of doing anything and doing it exceptionally well. To be honest, Toyokawa Shoko only half-believes this legend. She believes her senior can do many things, but calling him an omnipotent person is far too exaggerated.
[However, Taro-senpai is not a liar, and he's a very strict person. Since he said that, it probably means we don't need to practice anymore.]
[Even geniuses are ranked, though.]
"By the way, senior, what time do you start practicing, and where do you practice?" Xiangzi cleverly glossed over this question.
“It’s five o’clock. We practice at RiNG at five o’clock.” Taro answered Shoko’s question casually, then extended an invitation: “If you’re curious, you can come and take a look.”
"I still have work to do, senior." Xiangzi shook his head with a hint of regret, then rallied his spirits, picked up his phone to check the time, and said, "By the way, senior, my childhood friend said she wants to meet you. Would you be willing?"
Taro didn't immediately agree. He simply asked, "Why?"
Xiangzi shook her head, not answering the question, because she didn't know either. Mu simply sent a cryptic message.
"I want to see Xiang's senior."
When asked why, she simply copied and pasted the sentence.
Taro thought for a moment and replied, "If she can get to the fast food restaurant near Haneoka before 4:20, I can see her."
Xiangzi smiled and sent a message to Xiaomu, receiving an affirmative reply.
"Senior, could I take a picture of you? It'll help her find you." Xiangzi said, his voice sounding a little hesitant for some reason.
Taro didn't think much of it and readily agreed to Xiangzi's request. Xiangzi took a picture with her phone's camera and then sent it to Xiaomu via the chat app.
"Mu isn't very good at talking, please bear with me, senior. And she's very beautiful, with long green hair, and her eyes are similar to mine. She's very striking." She rambled on as if trying to hide her unease.
"I understand, I will remember it." With that, he left the company.
The distance from the company to the fast food restaurant wasn't exactly close, but it wasn't far either. However, in order not to be late, Momoi Taro decided to run all the way, so he quickly arrived at the fast food restaurant.
However, he didn't care and walked to the counter. He didn't know the waiter today, so he ordered in a very ordinary way, took out the money from his wallet and handed it over, saying, "Large fries and two Cokes."
"Yes! Please wait a moment, it will be sent to you right away," the waiter replied.
Taro sat down in a relatively conspicuous spot and waited. Soon, the fries and cola were served, but Taro left them untouched, simply waiting.
A moment later, a girl with long green hair walked into the fast food restaurant. She was very cute, with adorable features, like a delicate doll. Her petite body gave the impression of being fragile.
She wore her school uniform properly, befitting her status, and looked dignified. She glanced around the store, handbag in hand, then slowly walked over and sat down opposite Taro.
"You must be Xiangzi's childhood friend, right?" Taro placed a bag of fries and a cola in front of the other person. "I am Momoi Taro. What's your name?"
Wakaba Mutsumi hesitated slightly as she looked at the cola and fries Taro offered her. Then she looked up and introduced herself: "Wakaba Mutsumi."
"I understand, Wakaba." Taro tore open a packet of ketchup, dipped his fries in it, and popped them into his mouth. "I heard you were looking for me? What's up?"
She looked at Taro eating fries, then at the fries closest to her. She lowered her head and asked softly, "I want to know, why is it that when you tell the truth, others don't get hurt?"
Taro looked up at her and said, "What are you saying? It makes no sense. Why would telling the truth hurt someone?"
“Every time I speak, when I express my feelings, my friends seem unhappy.” Mu lowered his head, looking at the empty space on the table.
"Language is the voice of the heart. A lie is a lie, and the truth is just the truth. What is unacceptable is unacceptable. That's the law of this world. I only speak the truth. I don't understand why others are unhappy." Taro said this, but a trace of gloom still flashed deep in his eyes.
"I just said what I wanted to say." Taro's tone turned serious. "Besides, did you really tell the truth?"
Ruoye Mu remained silent.
“Telling only part of the truth is a lie, and remaining silent is also a lie.” Taro stated his point of view, looking at Wakaba Mutsumi, who resembled a withered cucumber flower: “Can you be sure that what you’re saying is the truth?”
Silence. The air was completely still, save for the sounds of passersby brushing past and the faint rustling of Taro putting a French fry into his mouth.
"Xiang said it, but I can't say it." After a long while, Ruoye Mu spoke, saying in a low voice, "But if I don't say it, my friend will be very sad."
“Then tell her clearly that this matter cannot be mentioned.” Taro raised his head and reprimanded her with considerable authority: “Besides, can you really tell the truth? You even deceive your own heart. How can you tell the truth?”
Ruoye Mu raised her head slightly, a barely perceptible look of surprise in her eyes. Taro inserted the straw into the cup, sipped most of the cola in one go, and then started talking about something unrelated: "The fries here are very good. The oil temperature is controlled very precisely, and the cooking time is just right. The ketchup is also very delicious. If I were to give it a score, I'd give it 32 points."
Wakaba Mutsu stared blankly at the other person, not understanding why they were saying those things. The passersby who overheard the conversation were also astonished, looking at Taro with surprise. Giving such a low score to the food in a direct evaluation—this guy is really bold.
"Eat if you want. It's delicious with ketchup." Taro didn't explain, and finished the rest of his cola in one gulp: "I've already paid the bill, it's on you."
He stood up and looked down at Wakaba Mutsu: "Wakaba, I don't know what you're worried about. Just say everything you want to say. Eat if you want to eat. I'm in a hurry, so please excuse me."
Just as Taro was about to leave, he felt his sleeve being tugged. Turning around, he saw it was Wakaba Mutsumi displaying a QR code. Taro nodded, scanned the code with LINE, added her as a friend, and left.
Wakaba Mutsumi was left sitting blankly in the fast food restaurant, staring at the fries and cola she was about to order. After hesitating for a long time, she finally reached out her hand…
