Anime Crossover Band, Rock Girl Won't Let Me Go

Chapter 91 Ruoye Mutsu: Beware of Su Shi

Ruo Yemu stood by the roadside, gazing into the distance. When she saw Bai Qiu approaching, her eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.

Soon, Bai Qiu came to Ruo Ye Mu and asked about what happened last time.

"You didn't get scolded when you got back that day, did you?"

Ruo Yemu shook her head slightly, remembering that her mother had once again instructed her to invite Bai Qiu to visit their home.

"That's good. What are you doing here, Mu?"

Bai Qiu asked curiously, "This place isn't far from RiNG. Ruo Ye Mu might have almost gone to RiNG too."

“I went to piano lessons,” Wakaba Mutsumi replied.

Bai Qiu recalled hearing Minami mention piano lessons on the phone and asked about it.

"Your mother made you learn it?"

"Ah."

"Besides piano, what else should I learn?"

"And ballet, etiquette, tea ceremony..." Wakaba Mutsumi said.

Bai Qiu shook her head inwardly.

Poor little Muto, it's a rare weekend. Nagasaki Motoyo, Chihaya Aine, and others are all out having fun.

It must be tough for Wakaba Mutsu, who has to learn all sorts of skills.

I'd rather not be the eldest daughter of the Wakaba family...

Seeing Bai Qiu shake his head, Ruo Ye Mu thought she had said something wrong again and made him unhappy.

She lowered her head, looking slightly disappointed.

Seeing this, Bai Qiu sighed: "I'm not shaking my head at you."

"It's Mu's mother who's too..."

Bai Qiu hesitated for a moment, not wanting to directly say anything bad about Senmina.

"How abominable!"

Ultimately, it can only be reduced to a harmless "hateful".

Wakaba Mutsu paused for a moment, "Hmm..."

"You've worked hard, Xiao Mutou."

Bai Qiu comforted Ruo Ye Mu.

Why is Qiu here?

Ruo Ye Mu asked curiously, explaining that she had just seen Bai Qiu walking with a pink-haired girl, when the pink-haired girl suddenly ran away, and then two other girls appeared.

"me……"

Without a moment's lament for Mu's hard-working weekend, Bai Qiu told Mu about the Su Shi Li Xi Deng trio band.

Upon hearing this, Ruo Yemu remained calm, then looked at Bai Qiu seriously, "Be careful of Su Shi."

Bai Qiu was surprised, not expecting Ruo Ye Mu to say such a thing.

However, considering Nagasaki Motoyo's obsession with Crychic, Bai Qiu understood what Wakaba Mutsu meant.

"You mean Su Shi might do something that would be detrimental to everyone?"

Ruoye Mu nodded and said softly, "Su Shi... has always wanted everyone to go back."

Bai Qiu nodded.

He knew this too. Sure enough, he still had to be wary of Su Shi and do some psychological work on her to make her understand that the new band was her new home!

Then Bai Qiu looked at Ruo Ye Mu:

"Mu, are you afraid Su Shi will find out about this?"

"Su Shi might be angry if she knows you said that."

Ruo Ye Mu lowered her head, as if she was genuinely worried that Su Shi was angry.

Fortunately, Bai Qiu didn't intend to make things difficult for her on this issue.

"Thank you for reminding me, Xiao Mu. I'll keep it a secret!"

Bai Qiu smiled and asked again:

"What about Mu? Don't you want to form a band with them?"

After a moment of silence, Ruoye Mutsu slowly began, "I have never..."

"I have never felt happy playing in a band."

Bai Qiu interrupted the spellcasting and spoke these words first, which surprised Ruo Ye Mu.

Bai Qiu smiled, "That's a lie, isn't it?"

Ruoye Mu turned her head away, avoiding eye contact.

Bai Qiu explained, "I've heard about what happened between you two. Mu is saying this to help Xiangzi leave, isn't he?"

Under Bai Qiu's gaze, Ruo Ye Mu finally nodded.

"Although it's not my favorite music, I feel very relaxed at Crychic."

"Oh? What kind of music does Mu like?" Bai Qiu asked, intrigued.

Wakaba Mutsu opened her mouth, wondering whether she should tell him about her favorite music, and whether he would dislike her if she did.

"Ah, isn't this Akiko?"

At this moment, Bai Qiu heard a familiar voice; only Miao Meng would call him that.

Sure enough, the stylishly dressed Meow Dream, wearing sunglasses, soon arrived in front of the two.

"Wait! This..."

Miao Meng looked surprised. She took off her sunglasses, rushed to Ruo Ye Mu, and put her arm around Ruo Ye Mu's shoulder.

"Isn't this the daughter of famous actress Minami Mori? Her name is Mutsumi Wakaba, right?!"

"……Um."

Ruoye Mu looked at this person with some surprise; he seemed to be Bai Qiu's friend.

"Akiko, look! It's just like the ones on TV, so exquisite, like a doll!"

Miao Meng looked excited, as if she had seen Senmina Nami herself, and waved to Bai Qiu.

However, Bai Qiu stepped forward and separated the two.

"Please, Miss Miaomeng, keep your distance. Aren't you an internet celebrity yourself?" Bai Qiu retorted.

"Haha, I was just too excited."

"I never expected you to know someone from the Wakaba family."

Miao Meng looked at Bai Qiu with a strange expression.

They suspected that Bai Qiu and Ruoye's family might have some special relationship.

However, she then thought that Bai Qiu's identity as a light novelist seemed to make sense.

Miao Meng sighed, realizing that she should definitely stick close to this powerful figure.

"What are you doing here?" Bai Qiu asked.

"I was filming a video around here," Miao Meng smiled and suggested, "I was just about to go eat. Since we've run into each other, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"That's a very popular restaurant that's hard to book," Miao Meng tempted, blinking her big eyes.

"Inviting us to dinner?" Bai Qiu looked at her in surprise. "You're not up to something, are you?"

To be honest, Bai Qiu was also tempted; she had originally planned to go out for dinner.

Before Miaomeng could answer, Bai Qiu nodded thoughtfully.

“You really should treat us to a meal, and Hailing too.”

"Huh? Why?" Miaomeng asked.

"You must have made a lot of money from the video going viral."

"That's true, haha!"

When the video was mentioned, Miao Meng's face lit up with a smile. Compared to the benefits brought by the video, a meal seemed insignificant.

Bai Qiu looked at Ruoye Mu, "Mu, are you going?"

Ruoye Mu hesitated.

Are your parents home?

"No."

"Since that's the case, then I have no choice but to go. Or is it that Xiao Mu doesn't want to have dinner with me?"

Bai Qiu feigned sadness.

"think."

"Okay." Bai Qiu smiled and said, "If anyone asks, just say that I've got you stuck with me and won't let you leave."

Miao Meng watched their conversation with surprise and then asked with a smile, "Shall we go?"

"Mu, let's go. Remember to eat more later."

Seeing that Mu was still a little stunned, Bai Qiu decisively grabbed her wrist and followed Miao Meng.

Not long after, we arrived at the popular restaurant that Miaomeng had mentioned.

As Miaomeng mentioned, this restaurant requires advance reservations and is usually packed, so there are no long queues.

Miao Meng took the menu, waved it in front of Bai Qiu and Ruo Ye Mu, and said generously, "Don't be shy!"

Ruo Ye Mu looked at the various strangely shaped trendy dishes on the menu with great curiosity, which was very different from the exquisite family banquets she ate at home.

"Thank you, I won't stand on ceremony."

Bai Qiu glanced at Miao Meng and picked up the menu without hesitation, but in his heart, he secretly raised Miao Meng's score.

Miaomeng would occasionally strike up a conversation with Ruoye Mutsu and try to find out about the relationship between the two.

She also gave Wakaba Mutsuya a nickname, Mutsuko.

Halfway through the meal, Miaomeng stopped, rubbed her hands together, and looked at Bai Qiu with a smile, as if she had something to say.

"He who eats another's food is bound to do so," Bai Qiu said with amusement, teasingly, "What's wrong, Miss Miaomeng?"

"It's nothing, it tastes good, right?" Miao Meng waved her hand, pretending nothing was wrong.

"It tastes great," Bai Qiu commented.

Ruoye Mu nodded as well; she liked these unusual foods that she had never tried before.

Bai Qiu continued, "But Miss Miaomeng, please just say it directly, otherwise I won't feel at ease eating this meal."

"Then I'll tell you." Miao Meng suddenly gained confidence as she changed the subject.

Miao Meng glanced at Ruo Ye Mu, then lowered her voice and whispered to Bai Qiu, "Could I have a few signed copies of your books?"

Bai Qiu put down his cutlery and sighed, "So this was your real purpose."

"Don't say that."

"The chance encounter was real, and my sincerity in wanting to treat you to a meal is also genuine!"

"As for books, they are merely icing on the cake."

"You agree, Muko." Miaomeng winked at Ruoye Muko, not forgetting her.

If Ye Mu didn't understand, a big question mark would appear above her head. She didn't know what book the two were talking about.

Bai Qiu didn't try to hide anything from Ruo Ye Mu, and asked Miao Meng, "What are you here for, to organize an event?"

"Bingo!" Meow Dream snapped her fingers.

"Alright," Bai Qiu agreed.

In a couple of days, I can bring a signed copy to Yamada Ryo and Goto Ichiri.

As for the light novel I promised Liang, I've actually been writing it every now and then. I just need to tidy it up a bit before handing it over to the editor.

I'll ask Machida Sonoko to speed things up and try to publish it this month; I won't break my promise.

Afterwards, dinner was pleasant, and the three of them went their separate ways afterwards.
