Taro paused for a moment, then nodded seriously, a piercing pain shooting through Aine's heart.
It hurts even more than when no one comes to Mygo.
Xiangzi stole the band from him, and now he's trying to steal the fruits of his victory by taking Taro away.
Although she understood that it was all because of her hesitation, she was unwilling to accept it—
Under such emotional circumstances... Ai Jiuling Liusi 6 Qiba II Ba? Yin, the dream ended.

Dong Episode 1, PINKxPINK
A heads-up: Chapters 1-8 form the timeline before the live performance. If you're not interested, you can skip to Chapter 8, which mainly focuses on strengthening the connection between Aine Taro and the End Band.
Goto Ichiri is an ordinary yet extraordinary girl.
As a popular online blogger known as Guitar Hero, she is actually extremely socially anxious in real life.
Despite his severe social anxiety, with the help of others, he tried his best to form a band. Two days into the Golden Week holiday, after that unforgettable street performance, he also tried to change himself.
But... the final result! Failure! A complete failure! I still can't bring myself to talk to strangers! Besides having another set of customer service tactics, it's nothing!
It's like a slug forcing itself to bask in the sun; it only makes it look messy and disorganized!
While waiting for the tram, Pochi stood in the shadows with a gloomy expression... However, upon closer reflection, he realized that he hadn't changed at all... Just like yesterday.
Just as Pochi was thinking this, a voice came from behind her: "Good morning, Dudu, are you waiting for the tram again?"
Upon hearing the distinctive nickname, Poch knew who it was. Without a doubt, it was one of his best friends…
Thinking this, she turned her head and, unsurprisingly, saw someone with the same pink hair as herself. Even though it was her best friend, Pochi still wasn't used to looking directly into her eyes.
As for why, Pochi only believes he is the best friend; as for what the other person actually thinks, Pochi can only say he has no idea.
No... I should say I don't want to know.
Please! I would absolutely devastate if I knew that I wasn't even considered a friend by the person I considered my best friend!
Such a positive angle... must have a lot of friends! I am just an insignificant part of it, not even a part of it. If I could, I would absolutely, positively not want to get too close to this person.
But... she gave me a nickname, often talked to me, and even praised me... how could I refuse!
So, she lowered her head and greeted the other person softly, "Good...good morning, Aine-kun. Um...um..."
Boqi could only answer Aine's question meekly, while Aine stood next to Boqi without caring at all: "Really, we're already friends, there's no need to be so reserved. You seemed so confident during the live performance that day."
"Aine-kun...did you see it? Street live? Hehe..." Upon hearing Aine's praise, Pochi revealed a strange, silly smile, and his face became soft and odd.
"How's Dudu's band doing lately?" Ai Yin looked at her curiously, recalling the topic of the band that Dudu had mentioned during their recent encounter: "Haven't they found a lead singer yet?"
Before Boqi could answer, Ai Yin confidently put her hands on her hips and smiled with a smug expression, "If I had met Dudu before I met Taro, I would definitely have joined Dudu's band. As for why, being a guitarist and lead singer is something I've always wanted to do."
After saying that, her expression lowered slightly: "Unfortunately, I'm not that kind of super talented person. But you know what? Our band's bassist is a support musician in thirty bands. Isn't that amazing?"
"Hmm...that sounds impressive." Boqi answered Ai Yin's question in a low voice, and said somewhat uneasily, "Ai Yin, actually...I've already found the lead singer for our band."
"Huh?" Aine's eyes widened slightly as she looked at Pochi with curiosity and asked, "Could you tell me in detail?"
Boqi and Aiyin briefly recounted the events: it all started when they overheard a classmate praising someone for singing karaoke exceptionally well while practicing guitar, so they decided to invite that person over. After a long and arduous journey (embellished by Boqi), they finally managed to get the lead singer to Fanxing.
As a result, they unexpectedly discovered that the lead singer they had captured was actually the guitarist who had run away. After going through various things, they finally reconciled and reunited as a band.
"Then why did she run away before?" After listening to Boqi's story, Ai o Li Yi Liu yit Qi Yi 2VIII is IV (eight) Yin still didn't quite understand, so she directly asked Boqi.
“She…can’t actually play the guitar.” Pochi said softly, recalling what he had heard from Kita: “She wanted to practice secretly, but no matter how she practiced, she couldn’t get it right.”
"Huh? Learning guitar is pretty simple for beginners, right?" Ai Yin, completely oblivious to her own talent, stated as if stating a fact: "In junior high, I was able to perform on stage after practicing for only a month."
"..." Pochi was speechless. If it weren't for Momoi Taro and Nijika, she probably would never have had the chance to perform on stage in her life. However, she still tried her best not to fall into depression and explained, "It seems that she mistakenly bought the bass instead of the guitar. In the end, a kind deliveryman took it back and she had the money to buy a new guitar to practice."
"What a kind deliveryman..." A figure appeared in Aine's mind. She shook her head slightly. Impossible, absolutely impossible. Shimokitazawa and Tokyo are quite a distance apart.
But if it's Momoi Taro, it doesn't feel like it's impossible...
She shook her head, banishing her thoughts, and with her usual smile, said, "Hey~ sounds like a very interesting person. Dudu's band sounds interesting too~ We don't do anything here except practice."
Hearing Ai Yin's words, Boqi had an idea and tentatively asked, "Then, would you like to come and visit our band, Ai Yin?"
"Huh? Is that alright?" Aine's eyes widened slightly, and Pochi nodded slightly: "If Aine is willing to come."
"Let me see..." Ai Yin took out her phone and looked at the schedule: "There's no practice scheduled for today, which is fine... but my guitar skills are pretty average, so I still need to practice."
“Aine can bring her guitar over to practice! k异;溜易旗是%焐久逝九8 The main arrangement for the next few days is to teach Kita guitar.” Pochi activated High Speed Divine Word: “Anyway, I would be very happy if Aine could come!”
Hehe, if Aine could come, my miserable image in the team would definitely improve a lot.
[Liang: Boqi. Awesome]
"Hongxia: Boqi is amazing for bringing different horns every day."
Thinking this, Pochi couldn't help but grin like a lovesick girl again. Aine tilted her head, looking at her strangely, then thought about it seriously before replying, "Okay~ I'll come. I should go to school now, Pochi, send me your address on Line~ See you this afternoon."
Ai-yin smiled and waved at Boqi before leaving.
As Pochi watched Aine leave, he belatedly realized that he hadn't told his teammates about his impromptu decision...
Thinking of this, Pochi broke out in a cold sweat.
-------------------------------------
"Mitsubo, we meet again." Ever since that time he met the deliveryman, Momoi Taro realized that there was another person in his world. For some reason, he would always run into Mikami Hatsuka when he was delivering packages.
"Hmm~ Mr. Momoi, it's nice to see you again." The blonde girl wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses smiled warmly and raised the bag in her right hand containing a box of donuts: "I bought some donuts for my best friend today. I heard that the donuts from this store have good reviews, so I bought some. I didn't expect to meet you here."
“Yeah, I didn’t expect that either.” Taro nodded, looked at the donut in Chu Hua’s hand, and said seriously, “This is the shop two kilometers away, right?”
Chu Hua's body stiffened slightly, then she said with a calm smile, "Yes, I just came back from shooting an advertisement nearby. It's also thanks to her not going to school today."
"I see, you must be very busy." Taro nodded, but his expression became slightly serious: "That shop's donuts are handmade, so the quality is very inconsistent; they're probably made by apprentices. If you're looking for donuts, I recommend this one—"
“I see, thank you, Mr. Momoi.” Hatsuka smiled gently as always, and Taro shook his head slightly: “You’re welcome, I’ll continue with my work.”
After watching Taro's retreating figure, Hatsuka's face turned slightly cold. These past few days, she had been following Momoi Taro. Originally, she had wanted to hire a private investigator, but if this was discovered, her idol career would be over.
I had no choice but to do it myself.
As for why she was following Momoi Taro, the reason was simple: she wanted to find something on him that could be used against him.
During the time she secretly followed Shoko, she discovered that Shoko's trust in Momoi Taro was extraordinary. During work hours, she would often say things like, "As long as it's handled by Taro-senpai, there won't be any problems!"
When others invited Taro Momoi to play rock-paper-scissors, Shoko was the first to step forward: "If you want to play rock-paper-scissors with your senior, you have to beat me!"
She seems to have internalized the idea that Momoi Taro can't lie.
If Xiangzi were to distance herself from Momoi Taro, the most important thing was to shatter her trust in him and reshape her mind's perception of him. That was the effort she was making.
The result was predictable: she gained nothing. Ever since she met Momoi Taro the day he delivered the goods, she had been prepared to follow him. After adding Momoi Taro as a friend, she exploited a security vulnerability in LINE to obtain his location.
He waited nearby for Taro Momoi, hoping to witness his hypocritical side.
However, her plan cannot be called a success; it can only be described as a major failure. Momoi Taro's life was incredibly dull. He would go to the Polar Bear Courier Company to sort packages in the morning, start delivering goods at noon, and after returning the truck in the evening, he would go to band practice.
If there was any additional activity, it was occasionally meeting with a brown-haired girl. While Hatsuka eagerly eavesdropped on their conversation, hoping to find evidence to prove Momoi Taro's innocence—
That despicable Taro Momoi! He's actually talking to that girl about math! Chinese! English!
This knowledge entered her mind in an unexpected way, forcing Mikasa, who had basically given up on her studies due to her idol activities, to start learning again. And let me just say... the results were remarkable; she even received praise from her teacher on yesterday's test.
But this isn't what I wanted! I only wanted dirt on Momoi Taro, but all I got was the conclusion that this person was true to himself... This made my dark side feel ashamed of itself.
However, there were some unexpected surprises. While following Momoi Taro, he kept running into his childhood friend, Toyokawa Shoko. And Shoko, at work, really enjoyed sharing her recent activities with Taro.
So, Chu Hua learned about Xiangzi's current situation, including the reopening of the ramen shop. But the most important news was this: Toyokawa Xiangzi wanted to form a new band.
Although Xiangzi's desire to invite Momoi Taro made her very uncomfortable, it seemed from the implication in her words that she also intended to invite herself.
All he had to do was wait for Xiangzi to extend an invitation to him, and continue digging up any possible dirt on Momoi Taro.
Just thinking about how she would soon be able to form a band with Xiangzi made Hatsune hum softly. She carried the box of donuts and headed toward the Sumimi event location.
Haigaoka Girls' College Gate
"Good morning—" Aine greeted everyone she knew with a bright smile. She looked ahead, smiled, quickened her pace slightly, and said to the blue-haired girl with twin tails in front of her, "Good morning, Toyokawa-kun."
Toyokawa Shoko seems to be a very gentle person. Aine doesn't know much about her; from her verbal tic, she seems to be from a wealthy family. She was the keyboardist and arranger for her good friend Takamatsu Akari's former band, but that's about all Aine knows.
Hearing the greeting, the girl subconsciously turned around and saw a pair of pink-haired girls smiling innocently. She frowned slightly, then gave a dignified smile: "Good morning, Ai-yin. How's the band doing lately?"
"Ah~ I've been practicing a lot lately, it's been quite tough. Taro is very strict too," Aine complained a little, then smiled and said, "But thanks to his strictness, I've been improving a lot lately."
Hearing Aine's words, Shoko gritted her teeth. Why? To her, Aine's words sounded like a victor's boast—that naturally wicked pink-haired brat—just being in the same band was enough; what if she got involved with Taro-senpai? Would she be doing this in front of her...?
However, Xiangzi was just thinking about it. She simply attributed her frustration to Aine. Fortunately, Xiangzi was a very self-disciplined person. She would not change her attitude towards herself or others because of her personal thoughts.
"Really? That's wonderful." Thinking this, Xiangzi's smile grew even brighter. He had been walking and chatting when he suddenly stopped, bowed slightly, and said, "Then, I wish you happiness."
After saying that, she turned around and quickly left. Damn it! I still couldn't help but breathe on that pink-haired girl.
As for Aine's thoughts? She thought Toyokawa Shoko was actually a pretty nice person, even wishing her well before leaving, although the wording sounded a bit strange, well, it doesn't really matter, right?
Episode 2 of "Don": The Sun and Taro and the Dark Corner
Ai-yin returned to her classroom and greeted her classmates as usual, but today seemed a little different...
