The two of them slowed down their pace at the same time, approached the corner, and carefully peeked at the scene ahead. In front of the internal medicine registration counter, five figures were gathered closely together, and the lights stretched their shadows long and projected them on the cold tile floor.

"Is it true that Uzuki is going to debut solo?" A slightly cold voice suddenly sounded. It was Kazuka's voice, with a barely perceptible tremor. Shiraishi gently pulled Mai's hand, signaling her to stop and hide in the dark so as not to disturb this sudden conversation.

In front of the counter, the other four members of Sweet Bullet - Kazuka Toyohama, Yae Anno, Ranko Nakago, and Hotaru Okazaki, were staring at the manager in front of them. This woman, about 30 years old, wearing a straight coat and a pair of sharp eyes behind her glasses, looked smart and calm at the moment, but the expression on her face revealed a bit of helplessness and fatigue.

"How is it?" Yae asked eagerly, with a mixture of anxiety and expectation in her voice.

"It's about time to tell us." Although Hotaru's voice was small, it revealed firmness.

"Agent..." Ranko spoke calmly, her eyes locked tightly on the other's eyes, as if seeking a definite answer.

"... I know. Although the general manager asked me not to say it..." The agent finally let go, with a hint of compromise in his tone, "But the plan to let Uzuki fly solo is true."

This sentence was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, stirring up layers of ripples. The four members fell silent in an instant, and the air was filled with tension and anxiety.

"Do you mean to graduate?" Hotaru was the first to break the silence. Although she did not clearly say "graduation from what", everyone knew it.

"..." After a short silence, the agent nodded, "The general manager seems to be planning this."

"Why?" Kazuka's voice was almost squeezed out from between her teeth, full of confusion and anger.

"I don't know." The agent shook his head, revealing a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"When did this happen?" Yae continued to ask, trying to find the answer from the details.

"After filming the commercial... so it should be the end of August." The agent recalled.

"It's so early..." Ranko muttered to herself, as if she couldn't believe it all.

"The general agent also withdrew the plan to go solo... but after seeing the response to the commercial, he changed his mind and wanted more people to see the charm of Uzuki." The agent explained, "In fact, after that, several great people did express their willingness to support Uzuki's solo."

"Did you tell Uzuki about this?" Yae asked, trying to sort out the ins and outs of the matter.

"I didn't tell Uzuki. But the general agent said he would find another opportunity to talk to her." The agent replied.

"So, why is Yueyue acting weird recently..." Ying's question was direct and sharp, getting to the heart of the matter.

EveryoneAll of them fell into deep thought. They had already noticed the changes in Mao Yue, but they could not find the exact reason. At this moment, the manager's words made them realize that perhaps these changes were not directly related to the solo plan. So, what unspeakable secrets did Mao Yue hide in her heart, so that she even lost her voice?

Shiraishi and Mai in the corridor also exchanged glances silently. They knew that this storm about the sweet bullet had just begun...

"Do you know?" The manager suddenly turned around and swept his eyes deeply over Waka, Yae, Ranko and Hotaru. Her voice echoed in the empty corridor with a trace of imperceptible worry, "Do you know about that child and her troubles?"

At this moment, the air seemed to solidify, and there was only the sound of breathing and the occasional sound of instruments in the distance. 0 ..... The members looked at each other, exchanging complex information in their eyes, which was a tacit understanding that could be understood without words - "It might be that thing." However, no one was willing to break the heavy silence first, as if once they spoke, they would reveal a truth that they didn't want to face.

"It seems that you all know a little bit." The agent sighed softly, with both relief and helplessness in his tone, "In that case, I won't ask any more questions. You can handle it yourself. I believe you can find the best solution."

Yae nodded softly, expressing his determination to the agent on behalf of everyone. The other three also responded with actions. Although there were no words, the firmness and tacit understanding were enough to comfort the agent.

"However, tomorrow's activities will still go on as usual." The agent reminded again, "No matter what happens, we can't let down the fans' expectations. So, please be mentally prepared."

This sentence was like a wake-up call, ringing the alarm bell in everyone's heart. Shiraishi sat in the shadow not far away. Although he did not directly participate in the conversation, he could clearly feel the pressure and responsibility. He knew that Mao Yue's condition undoubtedly brought huge challenges to the entire team, but they must work together to overcome the difficulties.

On the way back, the car was silent. Mai drove the car attentively, her eyes were firm and focused, as if she wanted to put all her emotions on this car and let it take them through the darkness of the night. Shiraishi sat in the passenger seat, occasionally glancing at Kazuka in the rearview mirror. She looked extremely tired, her eyes staring at the passing scenery outside the window with empty eyes, as if the whole world had nothing to do with her. .
