Momoi Taro wants to form a "don" brother duo, but it's a music anime.

"I can take a look too."

Aine looked at Hailin unwillingly. Hailin shrugged, indicating that she had no objection. Finally, Aine looked at Taro with expectant eyes.

"Make it clear upfront what you want to do. If it affects tomorrow's performance, I will not allow it."

Taro looked at Aine pitifully tugging at his sleeve, like a puppy about to be abandoned, and in the end, he didn't refuse.

After all, resting after practice is not an unacceptable thing.

“Great, I was prepared, I’ll use this.”

Ai Yin smiled with her eyes narrowed, her cute little tiger teeth accidentally showing. She immediately pulled out a round thing from her belt, and the two of them stared at it.

"Ping pong?" x2

Far away in Tokyo, Mutsumi Wakaba was hunched over his desk, writing furiously.

Indeed, what you truly want to say will only be understood after it's spoken.

Ruoye Mu looked at the page of lyrics in front of her with satisfaction. She had been speechless before, but now she had unknowingly filled the page with her words.

"What does Mumu plan to do? Compose the music herself? Or call out... Brother, Momoi Taro?" The inner Metath looked at the lyrics and was quite satisfied.

Ever since Mutsu recognized her as her brother, Metathia had wanted to call Momoi Taro "Oniichan" (older brother).

However, awakened out of jealousy towards Momoi Taro, she could never bring herself to say it. After several final attempts, she could only call him by his name.

She tried it out privately, and calling her older brother (Aniki) was her limit; addressing him as "older brother-sama" like Wakaba Mutsumi did was absolutely impossible.

“No…” Ruo Yemu shook her head slightly and said firmly, “Xiang Lai is indeed the most suitable person to write the lyrics for this song.”

"I see..." Metasis pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement in her inner chambers. "Then, I'll give it to Xiaoxiang tomorrow! Just get some rest today. I feel like a lot has happened, and besides, I haven't really been of any help."

Ruo Yemu shook her head, revealing a faint smile, and denied it, saying, "No, Metath has helped me a lot by being by my side."

After saying that, she lay down on the bed in her pajamas, looked at herself in the mirror, and said softly, "If it weren't for Mortis, I wouldn't know how to handle my relationship with Xiang."

"Is that so... Goodnight, Xiaomu."

Goodnight, Mortis.

Compared to the peaceful and tranquil atmosphere here, Aine's days at the hotel on the other side were not so pleasant.

"boom--"

The ping-pong ball hit the table and bounced back towards Ai Yin.

Aiyin stared wide-eyed, helplessly watching the ping-pong ball hurtle towards her side, grazing her hair and ears as it struck.

A few strands of pale pink hair fell slowly as if they had been cut off. The ping-pong ball passed through Ai Yin and Hai Ling's defenses and crashed into the cement wall.

It's less like it hit something and more like it got embedded in the wall.

There was only one hole in the wall, but the metal ping-pong table was covered with countless tiny pits.

Taro, standing opposite Aine, said confidently, "It's 10 to 0 now. Go get the ball and serve."

As for why things turned out this way, the general situation is that Aine led Taro and Hailin to the stadium.

As for why Ai Yin wanted to play table tennis, it's naturally because she was very good at it. In her first year of junior high school, she was already the best table tennis player in the entire school.

At that time, the Chinese students in the school were no match for her at all. As a girl, it was normal to show off her advantages in front of the boy she had a crush on.

However, Aine's mistake was that she forgot how extraordinary Taro was. As soon as they arrived at the court, Taro said, "Ping pong, I watched others play when I was little, so I know the rules."

Just when Aine thought she had it in the bag, Taro took out a racket from the shared equipment and gave one to her and one to Hailing, saying, "This is too much trouble, you two go together."

And so, things turned out like this... Taro's ping-pong was something that humans couldn't react to at all.

If I had to describe it in one word, it would be "fleeting," giving them absolutely no chance to react.

"Excuse my bluntness, Taro, but what you've done is really going too far." Even Hailin found it hard to accept having her head shaved.

Taro replied earnestly, "Because I promised someone I wouldn't lose again, so naturally I have to give it my all."

Under Hai Ling's gaze, Ai Yin's face fell. Well, she had only herself to blame.

Today's outcome – Ai-yin suffered a complete defeat.

The Eleventh Chapter of Dong: Similar Yet Different

The night was deep, and Lixi sat in front of the computer. The dim light from the computer screen shone on her face, making her look very pale.

At this moment, Li Xi is rearranging the two pieces they played earlier, "Ichishizuku Sora" and "Kasuga Kage".

The original arrangements of these two pieces are no longer suitable. "Ichishizuku Sora" had an additional keyboard in its own version, and "Haruhi Kage" had an additional guitar in Xiangzi's version. Both need to be rearranged.

Lixi has been busy with this for a week. She has been working on it ever since she learned that Xiangzi might join her current band. She goes to bed at two or three in the morning every day and gets up at six in the morning.

When the band isn't practicing and she doesn't need to work, she's busy with this... In between her part-time jobs at Qi Sanling Shiji Qi Sanling Shijiu ...

After working on it for so long, today I finally finished the rearrangement of these two pieces.

Lixi forced a smile despite her pale face. She glanced at the time on her computer; it was only 1 a.m. She was in perfect condition today, and perhaps she could even finish composing "Wheel Rain"—

Thinking this, Lixi opened another can of coffee next to her and gulped it down, like a robot refueling its body with engine oil...

However, if he really were a robot, he'd probably be the cheapest, lowest-grade kind. Lixi chuckled inwardly at his own amusement.

She shook her head, slightly rousing herself, and prepared to continue her efforts.

On the same night, someone else was doing the same thing as her.

After returning from the karaoke bar, Xiangzi hummed a song as he went back to the ramen shop. After greeting his father, he went upstairs, took a shower, and then went into his room.

Her long, light blue hair, soaked through, cascaded casually over Xiangzi's smooth, rounded shoulders, a few strands even clinging to her delicate collarbone. She wore only a bath towel, barely covering her graceful curves, with droplets of water still trickling down her smooth skin.

She prefers air-drying her hair and doesn't like blow-drying it much. Moreover, she feels that keeping her hair damp makes it easier for inspiration to come.

　Before, Xiangzi's rented house didn't have this feature, but after moving here, he even enjoys a private bathroom, so naturally he wouldn't compromise on his own.

Her eyes sparkled, her eyebrows lifted slightly, and a faint smile played at the corners of her lips. Her joy was undisguised.

She glanced at the small alarm clock on the table; it was only a little past eight. It was too early to go to bed.

Thinking about what to do to kill time... Xiangzi's gaze instinctively drifted to his desk—

She looked at the blank notebook and the laminated sheet music on her desk and couldn't help but sigh.

Her gaze then shifted to the nearly full wastepaper basket beside her, and she sighed again.

I always feel sorry for my senior. It's rare for a senior to write such a good melody for me, but I can never write lyrics that match the melody.

However, it seems that I am not powerless now.

She smiled and opened her phone. She looked at the sheet music and lyrics for "Ichishizuku Sora" and the lyrics for "Rinfu Ame" that Takamatsu Akira had sent her.

Everyone has worked so hard for me, and I must do everything in my power to repay them.

"Let's start by rearranging 'Ichishizuku Sora' and 'Kasuga Kage'. After all, Mygo's current instrumentation is not what it used to be."

It's more like the lineup of the band I imagined—Avemujica.

Well... the styles are quite different, though.

Xiangzi hunched over the table, writing furiously. Beautiful notes flowed from her pen—after what seemed like an eternity, Xiangzi stopped, let out a soft breath, and said happily:

"With that, 'Ichishizuku Sora' is complete, and it looks to be in great shape."

She silently tore off the pieces of her work and put them in her bag, planning to make copies and distribute them to everyone the next day.

"Next up is 'Spring Shadow'... It only needs minor adjustments, it shouldn't take much time. Good luck!"

Xiangzi clenched his fist to encourage himself. Then he hunched over the table again and began writing furiously.

"It's finished—! It looks really good." Xiangzi's smile widened even more. Was he in particularly good spirits today? Was it because he was with his companions?

Xiangzi didn't know, she just looked at the alarm clock again... "It's only eleven o'clock, there's still time, okay, let's try to finish composing 'Wheel Rain'!"

She gave herself a pep talk and tried again—

She became completely absorbed in musical creation.

"It's done—!" Xiangzi stood up happily. This way, he could at least make up for some of the guilt in his heart.

Thinking this, Xiangzi looked at the alarm clock again, her mouth slightly open, her hand covering her mouth, and exclaimed, "Oh no, it's already one o'clock—"

She bit her lip slightly and said reluctantly, "Although I really want to finish the arrangement as well... it's too late. Never mind, I'll continue tomorrow when I get back."

She solemnly put the completed melody into the drawer, then quickly changed into her pajamas and crawled into bed.

She closed her eyes, and scenes from the day flashed through Xiangzi's mind. A bright smile appeared on her face, and she whispered, "Goodnight..."

Before long, she fell into a deep, baby-like sleep—

Meanwhile...

“It’s done—!” Li Xi’s face turned pale as he forced a smile. Empty cans of coffee were scattered on the floor of the room, at least a dozen of them.

However, it was all worth it. The music for "Wheel Rain" was finally completed after a week. Although the quality was only passable, it was a good start, and the subsequent optimization would be much easier.

Lixi glanced at the time displayed on the computer and exclaimed, "Oh no... it's already this late. If I don't go to sleep soon, I might be late for the band's practice tomorrow."

The computer screen showed the time as AM, 04:51 AM, which was a little later than her usual bedtime.

She carefully preserved the written piece, then hurriedly began tidying up, spending a few minutes putting the coffee cans on the ground into a bag.

Then, Lixi didn't change her clothes and just slept in them.

Tomorrow, I'll be able to show everyone my results! I'm so excited!

Episode 12 of Dong! The Dong Brothers make their appearance!

At the festival, almost all the local residents came to the vicinity, and the cheers were deafening as the band came on stage.

Aine was wearing a pink short-sleeved yukata, wooden clogs, and pink nail polish on every fingernail. She also wore earrings with the Dong Brothers logo.

Her long pink hair was casually draped over her yukata, and the beads of sweat on her forehead glistened faintly in the sunlight.
