The midday interlude quickly passed;
The afternoon classes flew by in an instant.
Hearing the dismissal bell, Bai Li pulled out his phone and sent a message to Sakurajima Mai in the group chat, saying he had something to do after school and couldn't move together.
In less than a second, he saw an angry balloon emoji.
However, after Sakurajima Mai sent it, she quickly added a reply: "I'll try to practice fighting."
Suddenly possessing power from Chaotic Destiny, Sakurajima Mai, who had just changed her life as a Path Strider, indeed needed sufficient practice.
It was like an ordinary person suddenly getting a gun.
Everyone would pull the trigger, but the aiming accuracy would definitely vary.
After reminding Sakurajima Mai to be careful, Bai Li put away his phone.
"Bai Li-kun, wait a moment, come with me to the office first."
Kirisu Mafuyu, who was putting away her textbooks, called out to Bai Li, who was about to leave.
Looking for me?
Bai Li, puzzled, followed his teacher's footsteps.
Kirisu Mafuyu is from the work "We Never Learn."
Seeing her in real life, she was even more beautiful and had a better figure than in the manga.
No wonder, even though the author mainly promoted another heroine, Kirisu Mafuyu always came first in popularity polls.
Following the corridor, Bai Li arrived at the classroom, and Kirisu Mafuyu was sitting next to a desk near the window.
"Is Teacher Kirisu going to start lecturing again?"
Just next door, another teacher teased.
Bai Li's gaze shifted to her.
"Teacher Hiratsuka, I don't lecture because I like to; besides, this time is different from before."
Kirisu Mafuyu replied seriously.
Her attitude was completely opposite to Teacher Hiratsuka... Hiratsuka Shizuka.
Hearing their conversation, Bai Li recalled the first time he met the two teachers.
In typical transmigration works, Hiratsuka Shizuka is often the protagonist's homeroom teacher or advisor, but the multi-anime world Bai Li was in was completely different.
Yukino Yukinoshita was not in the same class, and he didn't see Hachiman Hikigaya, who was always complaining about youth.
Ending his thoughts, Bai Li's attention was pulled back to reality by Kirisu Mafuyu.
"Don't listen to Teacher Hiratsuka. This time I'm looking for Bai Li to talk about the band you were in before."
"It seems Teacher Kirisu also knows about me leaving the band."
"Of course I know, because I used to be your temporary advisor, and now... after you left the band, the others also stopped their activities, so the Student Council will stop issuing club funds."
Bai Li's departure wasn't just him leaving; the band also fell apart.
Could it be... he also became Sakiko?
"Anyway, I'm just telling you that if you reform the band, the funds won't be taken away."
"I didn't expect Teacher Kirisu to care about this."
"I really like your music."
Kirisu Mafuyu clenched her fist.
"It's amazing; it makes people feel your seriousness and effort."
As expected of a teacher, she can praise people so directly.
Bai Li, who was treated as an excellent band member, gave a bitter smile.
"Some things must be given up."
"If you run into trouble, feel free to tell Teacher Kirisu!"
"En, I will."
Bai Li nodded.
Hiratsuka Shizuka, who was listening to the conversation from the side, also opened a can of coffee and said with a smile,
"You can also ask me for help, Bai Li-kun. You should know that there's a Service Club at school, and the people there specialize in solving problems."
"If I have time... I'll go."
It's just that he currently had no reason to go find Yukinoshita.
After discussing these matters, Kirisu Mafuyu let Bai Li leave the office, reminding him to be careful on his way home.
"I understand."
As Bai Li walked out of the office, he heard a playful voice from the side.
"Did you make a mistake? Bai Li-senpai."
"Chihaya..."
Chihaya Anon most likely found her way here after being tipped off by students in the classroom.
Bai Li, carrying his school bag, waved his hand.
"Let's not talk about that. Let's go. You came to find me for the introduction we talked about, right?"
"That's right, everyone is waiting at the school gate."
"Then let's go straight there."
Bai Li led the way towards the stairs.
Next up was the team-building time with the MyGO girls.
————
————
At the school gate, four girls were standing there chatting.
From left to right, they were Takamatsu Tomori, Kaname Raana, Nagasaki Soyo, and Shiina Rikki.
Seeing them, Bai Li checked the time on his phone. It was currently just 5:30 PM, so taking them there and completing the introduction, an hour was more than enough.
"Everyone, we're here!"
Chihaya Anon walked a few steps ahead and greeted the band members.
The MyGO members heard the call and all turned their gazes.
"Bai Li-senpai, thank you for your trouble this time."
Nagasaki Soyo was the first to speak, following up with a very polite bow.
Takamatsu Tomori, standing nearby, echoed timidly like a small animal,
"Thank you for your trouble..."
It seems that even though they had collaborated before, their relationship hadn't grown closer.
However, there would be plenty of time in the future, so there was nothing to worry about.
Returning to the present, Bai Li also responded,
"It's no trouble at all. That owner has also been looking for some new bands recently."
Hearing him say that, Kaname Raana on the other side raised her right fist.
"The strongest newcomer is about to appear."
"It's good to be confident, Kana-chan."
"Bai Li's guitar, I really like it."
"If there's an opportunity in the future, we can collaborate."
"We can, we can."
Kaname Raana, like a cat, lived freely and always acted at her own pace, and ever since she saw Bai Li's performance, she had developed a great interest.
Facing Kaname Raana, who was gathered around Bai Li, Shiina Rikki, who had already started walking, turned her head.
"Let's go. Let's not waste any more of Bai Li-senpai's time. I believe he's very busy."
"Efficiency is a good thing."
Bai Li looked at Shiina Rikki and followed her.
Seeing this, the girls immediately took action.
The school was about a fifteen-minute walk from the LIVEHOUSE, so the girls took the opportunity to chat.
And the most important topic at the moment was... "Why did you leave the band?"
Nagasaki Soyo looked at Bai Li, with an expression that hoped to know the answer.
She felt like she already had some PTSD... After all, Sakiko's departure directly caused the original band to fall apart.
Takamatsu Tomori, who had also experienced the band withdrawal incident, also showed a curious expression, occasionally staring at Bai Li, waiting for his answer.
He felt like he had been asked this question a lot recently... For this, Bai Li's answer was the same as in the past.
"There are more important things."
More important than the band.
"I heard it was very sudden. Although I'm an outsider, I still hope to have a good talk with my bandmates before leaving the band..."
Nagasaki Soyo immediately replied.
She definitely had PTSD.
Just as Bai Li was about to say something, thinking this, he was interrupted by Chihaya Anon.
"Wait a minute, everyone, that dessert shop over there has a discount today! Let's go check it out!"
"Dessert, delicious, the sign has cat crepes."
Kaname Raana's eyes lit up at this moment.
Just like that, Bai Li's topic about leaving the band temporarily ended, and he was led by Chihaya Anon to a nearby shop.
In the eyes of outsiders, the youth story of one boy and five girls... began.
