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

Chapter 81: A Call from Wakaba Mutsumi's Mother

"Mu, where are you?"

"I……"

Before Ruo Yemu could answer, a slightly stern female voice came from the other end of the phone again.

"Your piano lessons must have ended a long time ago. Hurry back. I haven't told your father."

Minami Mori, the mother of Mutsumi Wakaba, is also a well-known actress.

Nagasaki Motoyo whispered to Haku that it was Mutsu's mother.

Bai Qiu nodded.

He overheard the phone call and guessed it was from Xiao Mutou's mother.

However, it seems that Mu's mother is not overly strict with him.

At least there was no blame placed on Mu for not being home at the moment.

He should be easier to talk to than his father, who set strict family rules.

Wakaba Mutsu opened her mouth, about to answer "yes".

But then he saw Bai Qiu shaking her head.

Mu hesitated.

"Mu, are you listening to me?"

"Um……"

"I...don't want to go home."

"……What did you say?"

Mori Minami paused for a moment, thinking she was hallucinating.

Ruo Yemu lowered his head and remained silent.

Bai Qiu whispered, "Can I borrow your phone?"

He extended his hand, gesturing towards Wakaba Mutsu.

Ruoye Mu was stunned for a moment.

Nagasaki Motoyo looked surprised. What was he planning to do?

The group could still hear puzzled questions coming from the phone.

Bai Qiu took the phone from Mu.

"Hello, Auntie Senmei. I'm sorry to interrupt you. My name is Bai Qiu, and I'm Mu's friend."

Mori Minami was stunned for two seconds before she came to her senses and responded.

"Harmony...friends?"

She asked in surprise.

A male voice of the same age as Mu came from Mu's phone.

Minami Mori was greatly surprised.

However, being a well-known actress, Senmina Nami quickly calmed down and became wary of Bai Qiu.

"Is he a friend from Mu's old band?"

She asked.

She is very good at harmonious interpersonal relationships.

Classmate? Impossible, Tsuki no Mori is an all-girls school.

Therefore, when it comes to people outside of Tsukinomori that Mutsumi has met and gotten to know, the only one that Minami Mori can think of at the moment is the band that Mutsumi had joined, Toyokawa Shoko's band.

"Unfortunately, no, but... I know Xiangzi and Sushi from Mu's old band, and by chance, I also met Xiao Mu..."

Bai Qiu explained.

I almost called him "Little Mutou".

"By the way, we are at Su Shi's house now."

"I see."

Minami Mori felt a little relieved. Did she know the Toyokawa family's daughter? She was at her band friend's house.

"So, what did you want to say to me when you answered Mu's call?"

"It can't be just a simple greeting, can it?"

Her voice softened, unlike the stern tone she used when speaking to Mu.

She is still a celebrity and needs to maintain a good demeanor in front of outsiders.

"There's something I'd like to discuss with you, something about harmony."

"whats the matter?"

"Mu was delayed because of the heavy rain, and that's why he couldn't go home. The rain is still very heavy now."

Bai Qiu made up an excuse.

"rain?"

Mori Minami knew it was Bai Qiu's excuse, but she was somewhat surprised by the rain.

She heard Mu say that she didn't want to go home.

She didn't think it was because of the rain.

This was the second time Mu had shown rebellious behavior towards her.

The first time was when she made Mu leave the band.

Mori Minami developed a slight interest in Shiraaki.

Considering the other party's identity, Bai Qiu immediately understood that Xiao Mutou's parents were probably not at home.

"Auntie Sammy, you shouldn't be home, right?"

"Yes."

She is indeed not at home; she is filming on a film set in another city.

Bai Qiu walked to the window and pointed her phone speaker outside, letting the sound of the rain carry over.

"listen."

"...Yes, I heard you."

"What I'm trying to say is that it's raining so hard outside and there's thunder. Wouldn't it be unsafe to let Mu go back by herself at this time?"

"You make a good point, so... could you please bring Mu back?"

Bai Qiu was surprised.

The other party is not playing by the rules.

"Of course I would be happy to take Mu home, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to get a taxi now, and even if I do, Mu will likely get soaked."

"Auntie, you know that the rainwater is very toxic these days, and it's easy to get sick if you get wet in it."

"Then I'll send a driver to pick her up?"

"I think it would be nice to let Mu stay overnight at a friend's house occasionally, what do you think?"

Staying overnight!?

A man actually told her that she needed to stay overnight outside.

Minami Mori took a deep breath.

Fortunately, Bai Qiu quickly added, "Of course, I meant staying overnight at Su Shi's house."

"I'm definitely not there," Bai Qiu assured her again.

"Oh? Then how will you get home, Bai Qiu?"

"Actually, I live next door."

"..."

Mori Minami paused for a few seconds. This young man really dared to tell her anything.

"Auntie Senmei, what do you think?"

Bai Qiu asked again, if he really had any improper thoughts, he wouldn't have told her that he lived next door.

"Your suggestion is good. I'll think about it. Let me talk to Su Shi first."

Mori Minami said that she couldn't just believe Bai Qiu's one-sided story.

"it is good……"

Bai Qiu handed the phone to Nagasaki Motoyo.

Nagasaki Motoyo was either delirious from a fever or surprised by the conversation between Shiraaki and Wakaba Mutsu's mother.

She only realized what was happening after Bai Qiu nudged her twice.

"Ah... Auntie, hello, I'm Su Shi, Xiao Mu's classmate. Xiao Mu came to visit me today."

After taking the call, Su Shi lowered her voice, trying to use her gentle, high-pitched tone to communicate with the other party.

After all, she was Mutsu's mother and a celebrity, so Nagasaki Motoyo didn't have the same confidence as Shiraaki when speaking to her.

But she had a cold, and her voice was hoarse.

That sounds a bit strange.

Minami Mori's voice carried a hint of laughter.

After all, she was Mu's classmate in the Moon Forest, and she was also a young lady from a wealthy family.

"Hello Su Shi, so you're a friend of Mu's old band. I've been wanting to say hello to you guys for a while now."

A former band.

Nagasaki Motoyo's lips twitched slightly; she had heard that word several times tonight.

Why does everyone think Crychic has disbanded?

However, Nagasaki Motoyo still had to say softly, "We should be the ones to greet you first, Auntie."

"Yes, thank you for taking care of Mu. After all, Mu has never stayed out this late before, and I was quite worried about the child."

"Um, I'm sorry to trouble you. May I ask if you'll stay the night..."

"Give the phone to Mu, I need to talk to Mu about some things."

"Ah good."

Before Nagasaki Motoyo could finish asking, Mori Minami spoke up, which made Bai Qiu shake his head.

When the other party adopted a slightly more assertive attitude, Nagasaki Motoyo backed down.

The phone was returned to Mutsuka Wakaba.

Mu answered the phone: "Mother..."

"Mu, I understand the situation. You can stay at Su Shi's house tonight."

I will explain things to your father.

"But I need to go home early tomorrow."

Mu opened her mouth in disbelief, "Okay..."

"By the way, please tell Bai Qiujun that he can visit the Ruoye family when he has time, and Su Shi is also welcome."

After hanging up the phone.

"Mom... agreed."

Mu said softly.

Bai Qiu and Su Shi looked happy.

Mu, on the other hand, looked somewhat bewildered.

But judging from the phone she was clutching tightly, her inner world was far from as calm as it appeared.

Looking at Bai Qiu, Ruo Ye Mu felt a strange sensation.

It was a feeling different from when I was facing Su Shi or Xiangzi.

Mu moved his hand to his chest, and his heart seemed to be beating faster than usual, even faster than when he played his favorite heavy metal music.

Mu found it strange; she couldn't quite understand this feeling.

But there's one thing she's at ease with now.

You don't need to go home tonight? You can stay at Su Shi's house?

I spent the night at a friend's house.

This was a first for her.

Mu still finds it hard to believe.

Her eyes sparkled as she stared at Bai Qiu.

Bai Qiu accomplished something that even Xiangzi couldn't do.

Su Shi found Mutsumi's behavior strange, and she asked with a smile, "Mutsumi-chan, what's wrong?"

Ruo Yemu shook his head slightly.

"You can stay at my house tonight."

Mu nodded, somewhat pleased.

Su Shi nodded, relieved; she had been overthinking things.

"Mom said... Qiu should come to our house as a guest."

"Eh??"

Bai Qiu and Nagasaki Moyo exclaimed.

Ruoye Mu looked at Bai Qiu, as if waiting for his answer.

"I definitely will if I have the chance," Bai Qiu said, coughing slightly.

The following dinner was very pleasant.

The three of them devoured a pot of vegetable pasta, eating it all up.

After that, Nagasaki Motoyo also started taking cold medicine.

Bai Qiu thought Su Shi would feel sleepy after taking the medicine, so they prepared to say goodbye and leave.

However, Nagasaki Motoyo said she wasn't sleepy and wanted Shiraaki and Wakaba Mutsu to watch a movie with her.

……

kitchen.

Bai Qiu washed the bowl.

Ruoye Mu was wiping the water clean with a cloth strip, her movements light and slow, absorbing every drop of water.

The bowl was polished to a shine, reflecting the face of Wakaba Mutsumi and her slightly upturned lips.

Motoyo Nagasaki sat on the sofa, choosing a movie.

She turned her head and looked at the two people working side by side from behind.

She felt a strange tightness in her chest and attributed it to her illness.

Motoyo Nagasaki calmed down and continued selecting movies.

After quickly choosing a movie, she finally couldn't help but turn around and ask in a hoarse voice, "Are you all done showering?"

"How about we use a dishwasher?"
