Chapter 206, Lost Girl and Reunion
It was early to mid-July, the day after the Odaiba Music Festival closed.
Since there was no group practice arranged by the club today, Xue came to Livehouse CiRCLE after school on a whim, a place she hadn't been to for a long time.
Before entering the door, I met a girl with white hair and blue eyes wearing the Tsuki no Mori school uniform and looking lost.
Coincidentally, he knew the girl, and they could be considered distant relatives.
"Are you...Xiaobai?"
When the white-haired girl with dyed black hair and a guitar on her back heard her calling her, the white-haired girl who was originally looking lost couldn't help but be stunned.
"Um... may I ask who you are...?"
"I'm your cousin, Tennoji Yuki. It's been so long since we last met, have you forgotten me?"
After Xue's reminder, a look of surprise appeared on the white-haired girl's face. She had never expected to meet her distant cousin here.
"Ah, yes, it's you, Sister Xue. Long time no see."
The white-haired girl hesitated for a moment, then forced herself to smile.
Looking at the girl's very ugly smile, Xue suddenly realized something in her heart.
If you think about it carefully, the current time is exactly when Morfonica was initially formed and performed its first LIVE.
Combined with the other party's lost expression and the poster she was holding tightly in her hand, the answer was already obvious.
This child has fallen into a vicious circle of confusion and autism caused by online comments.
"Long time no see. By the way, Xiaobai, why are you here? Looking at the recruitment advertisement in your hand, are you also interested in forming a band?"
Although I know the current situation, I can't say it out loud.
"Ah, well, my high school is nearby, and I'm kind of... interested in bands."
Hearing this, Xiaobai glanced away slightly. This was not a complete lie.
“…Okay, Xiaobai, it looks like you’re in a hurry to do something, so I won’t bother you anymore.”
"Well...goodbye, Sister Xue."
At this time, Xiaobai seemed to realize that his cousin was trying to give him a way out, so he responded and quickly left CiRCLE.
Watching the other person's disappearing back, Xue sighed helplessly.
This is a calamity that Morfonica must go through before it can truly be formed. I hope that the child can overcome it together with her companions as I remembered.
……
When Xue walked into CiRCLE, she saw Tae, Arisaki, Satomi, Saaya and Kasumi who was inexplicably depressed.
"Kasumi?"
"Ah, it's you, Xuexue."
Hearing Yuki's voice, Kasumi perked up a little.
"Why do you look listless? Is something wrong?"
Hearing this, Kasumi shook her head.
"Nothing. By the way, Xuexue, did you see a white-haired girl holding a flyer at the door just now?"
"You're talking about... that kid Xiaobai?"
"noob?"
Hearing that Xue not only knew the boy, but also seemed very familiar with him, the five members of Popipa were naturally curious about the relationship between the two.
"Well, this is Mashiro Kurata, a cousin of mine who I'm not too close to, so what happened?"
Kasumi began to tell Xue everything that had just happened.
After hearing this, Xue showed an expression of "I see." She knew her cousin's personality very well.
"...Xiaobai must have been hit by something."
As Xue spoke, she took out her phone and searched on SNS for news about Tsuki no Mori and Morfonica, which had not yet been officially named.
As expected, the first one is, however, it is not a very positive message.
"Look."
The five popipa people came over and looked at Xue's phone.
"But...even so..."
After reading the message, Kasumi somewhat understood what Xiaobai was thinking.
If she were to be commented on like this by people online, she would also feel lost.
However, she will definitely not give up the band or Poppin'Party because of this.
"...Kasumi, everyone has different ideas. Xiaobai has always been a bit introverted and easily inferior since he was a child, but he is not willing to be ordinary."
"She worked hard to get into the prestigious school of her dreams, Tsuki no Mori, where she is surrounded by celebrities and geniuses from various fields every day."
"I finally found something I love, something that makes me extraordinary, but after all my hard work, it was ruthlessly rejected."
"Under this double pressure, it's not surprising that she reacted this way..."
For a moment, the five members of Popipa were silent. They didn't know what to say now.
"...I plan to find time this week to go to Moon Forest to see the child."
The silence was finally broken by the snow. In order for Morfonica to be successfully established, it was necessary for him to go there.
"By the way, Kasumi, what are you guys doing? Is CiRCLE having any events lately?"
Since my cute little cousin has temporarily fallen into a state of autism, it means that the time for the second girl band party is almost here.
"By the way, I almost forgot!"
After this reminder, Kasumi seemed to remember something and returned to her usual energetic appearance, looking at Xue with shining eyes.
"Xuexue, would you like to come to our girl band party LIVE?"
"Girls' band party? Oh, the one we missed last year because of the music festival, right? Wait a minute, I'll ask Nana and the others if they have time."
After opening the group chat, Xue informed the other four people of the news. They replied within seconds, saying that it was completely fine.
“They all said it was no problem.”
"Great!!!"
Kasumi raised her right hand with an excited smile on her face.
Finally, we got another band together, and it’s Xuexue and her friends who are super kirakiradokidoki.
……
After school on Friday, Xue came to the door of Yuezhisen without saying a word.
Seeing Xue, who was obviously a student from another school, the security guard at the gate couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Until he saw the ID that Xue took out.
"Please."
"sorry to bother you."
After collecting her ID, Xue was able to enter the campus of Tsuki no Mori.
What kind of document is that? It's a special pass to Yuezhisen. After all, my family is one of Yuezhisen's current investors.
Amid the whispers of students who had not yet left Tsuki no Mori, Xue walked into the teaching building of Tsuki no Mori.
I just happened to see Xiaobai hesitating in the corridor, secretly looking at a classroom where there were people.
Seeing this, Xue smiled and shook her head. It seemed that the child was finally beating again.
Well done, Kasumi.
As if he felt someone was watching him, Xiaobai turned his head and his expression was suddenly stunned.
She didn't understand why her cousin appeared in the Moon Forest. It was totally unreasonable.
Xue saw her confusion but did not answer her. Instead, she turned her gaze towards the classroom.
It was then that Xiaobai realized that she had been discovered by her teammates.
"Kurata-san!"
"noob!"
Xiaobai was startled and became a little embarrassed. She hadn't figured out how to apologize to her friends.
“Ah, um, this…!”
"...Just say what you think, Xiaobai."
Under the puzzled gazes of everyone in Morfonica, Xue walked to Xiaobai's side.
Xiaobai hesitated for a moment and made his own decision.
“U-Um, everyone…! I’m so sorry!!”
"It was clearly me who started it, but I ran away and did such a terrible thing to everyone...! And I even put the blame on Futaba-san and Tohru-chan...!"
"Kurata-san..."
"I've always been like this. Once I encounter setbacks, I immediately give up, always looking for excuses and avoiding things I don't want to touch..."
"You'll never be able to transform like this..."
"But, now I won't run away anymore... So, that..."
Hearing this, the expressions of Xiaobai's teammates became a little serious. They expected Xiaobai to speak out bravely.
"Let me, that... um..."
Seeing Xiaobai hesitating, Xue decided to help her.
An inexplicable courage suddenly surged in her heart, and she finally said what was on her mind.
"I want to...I want to continue playing in a band with you guys!!!"
Hearing this, Xiaobai's three teammates looked at each other and smiled.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? We've been waiting for you, Kurata-kun."
"A few of us really want to form a band with you, Kurata."
"Yeah, our lead singer has to be a lead singer with little confidence."
Hearing this, Xiaobai was a little confused. She had done such an excessive thing before, so why could they still forgive her?
"Because, they are friends with you, Xiaobai."
"Friends...?" Xiaobai suddenly perked up and looked at his three teammates.
The three of them smiled and nodded slightly, then spoke in unison.
"Kurata-san/Kurata/Shiro..."
“…Welcome back!!!”
For a moment, Xiaobai was so moved that she burst into tears. I have to say, she is so cute now.
