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

Chapter 352 The Blown Meow Dream

After a short but enjoyable camping trip, Bai Qiu and the band girls gradually returned to their daily lives upon returning to Tokyo.

Several peaceful days passed without anything particularly noteworthy happening.

During this time, Bai Qiu also took the time to visit Toyokawa Kiyoko.

He is no longer a dockworker at the Tokyo Bay pier, but has instead taken up a job as a venture capital consultant at a small company.

His entire being was refreshed and he regained the mature state that a middle-aged man should have.

He had paid back the money he owed Bai Qiu, treated Bai Qiu to a meal, and learned about Xiangzi's situation from Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu felt that Toyokawa Kiyoko had truly reformed.

He should find an opportunity in the next couple of days to tell Shoko about Toyokawa Kiyoko's current situation and help the father and daughter reconcile.

But in places that Bai Qiu hadn't noticed.

Online discussion forums about mujica.

In the past few days, a certain voice has gradually emerged—

"I feel that Nekomushi is not as good as Wakaba Mutsu."

"I agree. Whether it's her musical instrument playing skills or her acting skills, Wakaba Mutsu is definitely better."

"I want to see Wakaba Mutsumi and Minami-chan act together on stage."

"Mortis's face is even more delicate and cute than a doll's. As for that one called Meow Dream, it's too exaggerated! I don't really like it."

"I thought Meow Dream was a bit over-the-top before, but since everyone seemed to like it, I didn't say anything..."

"I've analyzed it, do you think Meow Dream might be the one with the lowest coffee rating among the five members of Mujica? That's why she was chosen to be the first to remove her mask."

"Ah, according to your analysis, the remaining three must be some kind of superhuman beings."

……

As a member of the band mujica, which is currently receiving a lot of media attention.

When Miyako and Wakaba Mutsu first removed their masks, it was inevitable that some fan groups or self-media would compare them.

Although most people are still rational.

However, some unpleasant comments still circulated.

Furthermore, in the discussions surrounding Wakaba Mutsumi and Nyanmu, the voices supporting and liking Wakaba Mutsumi seem to be louder than those supporting Nyanmu.

Ruo Yemu wasn't quite aware of these things, since she didn't go online much.

He's still thinking all day about how to get closer to Bai Qiu.

Therefore, they have even less time to pay attention to these comments online.

But Miaomeng is different. As a video content creator, Miaomeng is always concerned about her reputation online.

Not to mention that she sometimes can't help but do intense self-searching.

As a result, these comments inevitably came to light.

At this moment, Miaomeng's pink eyes seemed to be frozen, staring intently at the sentence on the phone screen: "I feel that Miaomeng is not as close as Ruoye Mutsu."

These words were particularly jarring to Miaomeng.

In stark contrast to other comments, it was like a sharp sword piercing straight into her eyes.

Browsing through these comments, Miaomeng felt a little uneasy.

Why do people say that...?

Why say such annoying things?

Just a short time ago, didn't she have a lot of people who supported and liked her?

Are audiences really that fickle?

They all turned around and went to support Wakaba Mutsumi.

Actually, there were fans supporting Miaomeng in the comments section, and Miaomeng saw them too.

However, the voices saying that she was not as good as Wakaba Mutsu still deeply affected her.

Miaomeng gripped her phone tightly with her slightly white knuckles.

The phone screen was turned off in her palm.

She composed herself, suppressed the matter in her heart, tried to act as if nothing had happened, and went out.

……

The office, in the practice room.

As usual, Mujica is rehearsing intensively for their next tour show today.

A series of stirring instrumental melodies, like a surging torrent, echoed in the closed practice room, shaking the girls' eardrums.

But just as the performance reached its climax...

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly stopped and looked at Meowmeng.

Upon seeing this, Chu Hua, Mu, and Hai Ling also stopped playing.

Only the drum of the cat's dream slowly sounded a few muffled notes before stopping.

The reason was that Miaomeng's drumbeats became disordered. Although she noticed this and tried to readjust them, she was still unable to return to the correct rhythm.

Before Xiangzi could say anything, Miaomeng suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiangzi apologetically, saying:

"Excuse me, Xiangzi, it's my fault. Let's try again."

? ? !

However, upon hearing Miaomeng's words, Xiangzi's golden pupils narrowed slightly.

Then Xiangzi looked at Miaomeng with an astonished expression, as if the sun had risen in the west.

Toyokawa Shoko thought.

She...did she hear that right?

Miaomeng actually apologized to her?

Based on past experience, it's already good enough if Miaomeng doesn't contradict her, how could she possibly apologize to her!

This made Toyokawa Shoko even reflect in her heart: was the drumbeat of this song too difficult for Meow Dream?

So Xiangzi pondered and looked again at the drumbeat on the score.

But she realized that the drumbeats in this section were not very dense, and there were more difficult pieces in the previous songs.

Based on her understanding of Miaomeng, Miaomeng's dual-wielding advantage should be fully utilized.

So, Xiangzi raised his head with some doubt and stared intently at Miaomeng's face for a while.

Although it seemed to be covered by foundation, Xiangzi could still vaguely sense that Miaomeng looked somewhat tired.

Just like when she was working as customer service representative Xiao Xiang and newspaper delivery Xiao Xiang, she couldn't get enough sleep every day.

Then I thought about how Miaomeng had taken on other work at the agency recently.

Xiangzi subconsciously thought that Miaomeng might not have gotten enough rest.

So, Xiangzi's tone softened, and he asked Miaomeng softly:

"Meow Dream, didn't you get enough rest?"

Miao Meng paused for a moment, shook her head in denial, then smiled easily and said, "No, how could that be! Haha..."

However, although Nyan's smile looked relaxed, to Wakaba Mutsuki, it seemed like she was deliberately hiding something.

"Let's stop chatting and continue practicing."

Miao Meng emphasized that she did not want to delay rehearsal time due to personal reasons.

"I won't make the same mistake again."

"Miaomeng, you don't look well."

"..."

Miao Meng paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at Ruoye Mutsu, who had spoken those words, with a somewhat complicated expression.

He met Ruoye Mu's calm face, his gaze containing a hint of concern and doubt.

Miao Meng felt as if she had been completely seen through.

She looked away, avoiding her gaze from Wakaba Mutsu.

"Haven't my face always looked like this?"

However, by this point, everyone realized that something was wrong with Miaomeng today.

"We've been practicing for a while now, why don't we take a break?"

At this moment, Chu Hua also stepped forward to smooth things over.

Hai Ling nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it won't make a difference if it's just a little while longer."
