In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

Shiina Tatsuki nodded, then said nothing more.

The two parted ways near the school and went their separate ways home.

After arriving home, Shiina Tatsuki went to her room, lay down on her bed, and sent a message to Takamatsu Akari on her phone.

"Lamp, our band would be better off finding another keyboardist or guitarist."

"On the one hand, it is beneficial for composing and arranging music, and on the other hand, it can also alleviate the pressure on stray cats."

"What do you think?"

Takamatsu Tō didn't have a deep understanding of this, but he felt that what the other person said made sense, and since the other person was the composer, he agreed.

Seeing that the other party had agreed, Shiina Tatsuki smiled and then sent a message in the band's group chat.

"We also need a keyboardist or guitarist. If anyone has a suitable candidate, please recommend one."

Upon seeing this message, a figure suddenly flashed into Gao Songdeng's mind, and at the same time, the other person's cheerful (and sometimes cheesy) laughter rang in his ears...

Volume 1: Chapter 147 Aine Feels Something's Wrong

The next morning, Gao Songdeng arrived at the classroom early and sat in his seat, looking towards the front door of the classroom.

After a while, Chihaya Aine came in through the front door.

As usual, she walked cheerfully from the first row to the last row, greeting the classmates she knew along the way.

When she walked up to Takamatsu, she saw that he was looking at her, and she felt a little curious.

He paused for a moment, then spoke, maintaining his smile.

Good morning, Akari-chan!

Takamatsu Akari gave a soft "hmm," and then spoke directly.

"Aiyin, would you like to play in a band with us?"

Upon hearing that it was an invitation from a band, Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, then pointed to herself with her index finger, her face filled with disbelief.

"me?"

Takamatsu Akari continued looking at the other person and nodded.

"Our band needs another guitarist."

"If Aine is willing to come over, we can play together."

Chihaya Aine hesitated.

She felt that her skill level was not on the same level as the other members of the other band.

Especially after she started practicing guitar diligently recently, she slowly realized how high the level of Goto Ichiri and Kaname Rakuna was, and that the gap between herself and them was worlds apart.

However, she then recalled what Miaomeng had told her and the goals she had set for herself, and her resolve grew stronger.

Now that you've decided to start over, you absolutely cannot be afraid of challenges!

The reason I started practicing guitar again is for this day!

She looked into the other person's eyes, spoke earnestly, and raised her voice slightly.

"I'd love to join Dengjiang's band!"

A look of joy lit up Gao Songdeng's eyes, and he nodded with a smile.

"Does Aine have time after school this afternoon?"

“Let’s go meet the other band members together.”

A smile also appeared on Chihaya Aine's face.

"I have time!"

The conversation between the two naturally attracted the attention of their classmates.

Under the watchful eyes of her classmates, Chihaya Aine returned to her seat, hummed happily a few times, and then began to take out the textbooks and notebooks she needed for class today from her bag.

A little while later, Shirakawa Sawa arrived at the classroom. As soon as he sat down, he heard Chihaya Aine's joyful voice.

"Ze-kun, I'm going to play in a band with Deng-chan from now on~"

A look of surprise crossed the boy's face, then he held out his hand as if holding a microphone to the other person.

"So, Ms. Aiyin, how are you feeling right now?"

Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, then sat up straight, adopting a dignified posture.

"I am very surprised and honored to receive Deng Jiang's invitation."

"In the days to come, as I work alongside Deng Jiang, I will give it my all, strive to improve myself, and work hard to make every performance a great success!"

Shirakawa nodded and remained in his current position.

"Since Ms. Aine has already made such a significant commitment, then I, along with everyone else, look forward to seeing you shine on stage in the future!"

"That concludes today's interview."

"Thank you for your hard work, Ms. Ai Yin."

Chihaya Aine bowed slightly.

"You've worked hard, too."

This impromptu performance amused all the students in the class.

Wow, I didn't expect to get to watch a short drama if I arrived early.

Takamatsu Akari laughed as well, realizing that Shirakawa Sawa approved of the matter.

She opened her phone and sent a message in the band's group chat.

"Is everyone free after school this afternoon? I've invited a new member who's in my class, and I'd like to introduce him to you all."

Everyone said it was fine.

……

After school in the afternoon, Takamatsu Akari brought Chihaya Aine to RiNG.

At this moment, Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna had arrived and were standing in the lobby on the first floor waiting.

Upon seeing the two, Takamatsu Akari immediately walked over and introduced the girl beside her to them.

"This is Aine."

Chihaya Aine immediately spoke up.

"Hello everyone, I'm Chihaya Aine, Touka-chan's classmate, and my instrument is the guitar."

"From now on, you can just call me Aine!"

After speaking, she looked at Shiina Tatsuki, whom she had met before at the school festival but hadn't really spoken to, and smiled brightly.

"Shiina-kun, right?"

Please take care of me in the future!

Shiina Ritsuki nodded expressionlessly, his eyes scrutinizing her, without saying a word.

Chihaya Aine noticed that the other person's attitude was not very friendly, so she turned to look at Kaname Rakuna.

They realized the other person wasn't looking at them at all, but was staring straight out the door without saying a word.

Chihaya Aine, seeing the two of them, broke out in a cold sweat. She felt that neither of them seemed easy to get along with. After giving an awkward laugh, she prepared to ask Takamatsu Akari for help.

Before she could say anything, she saw Yoro Nai suddenly lift her foot and walk towards the door.

Everyone's eyes followed her and they saw Nagasaki Motoyo carrying a bag walking towards them.

After the cat walked up to her, its gaze remained fixed on the bag in her hand.

"delicious."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and patted the cat's head.

"Little Lena, don't rush. This is meant to be eaten with everyone."

After speaking, she approached Takamatsu and the other two, greeted her two teammates first, then looked at Chihaya Aine and spoke gently.

"This must be the new member that Dengjiang invited, right?"

She reached out her hand to the other person.

"Hello, my name is Nagasaki Motoyo."

Chihaya Aine immediately grasped her hand as if it were a lifeline, and the smile on her face returned to its original vitality.

"Hello, senior, my name is Chihaya Aine!"

"Just call me Aine!"

Please take care of me in the future!

Nagasaki Motoyo paused slightly, and although she felt a little uncomfortable, she maintained her elegance and gentleness.

"If Aine and Tou-chan are in the same class, then we are in the same grade, both in the first year of high school."

Chihaya Aine was somewhat surprised, because the other person's temperament was rarely seen in people of the same age.

However, this was not the time to think about that, so he quickly corrected his attitude and apologized.

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled, indicating it was nothing, then turned to look at Takamatsu Akari.

"Dengjiang, how about we go upstairs and sit for a while?"

Then she shifted her gaze to Chihaya Aine.

"Aine probably doesn't know us very well, right?"

"It's perfect that we can have tea and get to know each other at the same time."

Gao Songdeng nodded in agreement.

The five of them then went upstairs together.

As they went upstairs, Chihaya Aine instinctively tried to get closer to Takamatsu Todoroki, but Shiina Tatsuki blocked her with his body.
