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

At the same time, she also saw the latter give her a sharp look, as if warning her something...

Volume 1: Chapter 148 Aine Feels a Little Pressure

After the five of them arrived on the second floor, Shiina Riki sat down next to Takamatsu Akari, Yoru Rakuna sat down next to Nagasaki Motoyo, and Chihaya Aine sat alone on one side.

After ordering, Nagasaki Motoyo glanced at everyone and then fixed her gaze on Chihaya Aine.

"Does Aine know Lixi and Xiaolena?"

The latter gave a slightly embarrassed laugh and touched the hair at his temple.

"Hehehe, I greeted you when we were on the first floor."

Seeing the other person's expression, Nagasaki Motoyo roughly guessed what was going on. She glanced at Takamatsu Akari first, then looked back at her, continuing to gaze at the other person, and spoke gently.

"Dengjiang is the lead singer of our band, you should know Aiyin, right?"

Chihaya Aine nodded.

Nagasaki Motoyo then introduced herself and her two teammates, before looking at her again with a wider smile.

"Welcome Aiyin to our band! Let's work hard together!"

It was only then that Rakuna realized the band was getting a new member, and she immediately looked up at Takamatsu Akari.

"Is this a new member chosen by the lamp?"

The latter nodded, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.

"Little Lenai?"

She sensed that something was off about the other person.

Let Lena continue speaking.

"Did Shirakawa give permission?"

This statement left both Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine completely bewildered.

Especially the latter, she didn't understand why joining the band required Shirakawa Sawa's permission.

Moreover, the other party didn't seem to be the owner of the band or anything like that.

Takamatsu Akari spoke with curiosity.

“Ze Jun doesn’t seem to have any objections.”

"But why does this need Ze-kun's permission?"

She was a little curious as to why the other person would say such a thing.

Because Shirakawa Sawa is clearly keeping his distance from the band, they won't ask him anything unless he talks to them first.

Yoro didn't explain what she was saying; she just kept her head down and ate her matcha parfait.

At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo realized something, but she didn't say anything. She continued to maintain her gentle smile, reached out and stroked the cat's hair, then looked at Chihaya Aine.

"Little Renai likes to make strange jokes, Aine, please don't mind."

She then looked at Shiina Tatsuki.

"Now that Ai Yin has joined, shouldn't we rearrange our songs?"

The latter nodded, then looked at Takamatsu beside him, his gaze softening.

"Deng, add her to the band group. I'll revise the sheet music and send it to the group tonight."

After speaking, she turned to look at Chihaya Aine, the gentleness in her gaze vanishing instantly, and she spoke as if reciting a prepared script.

"Take a look at the sheet music tonight. If you have any questions, please communicate with us in the group."

Pink-haired girl immediately sat up straight and nodded blankly.

For some reason, she felt completely out of sync with the rhythm of their conversation and was a little dazed.

Moreover, apart from Takamatsu Akari, the attitudes of the other three were also strange, and they always felt a kind of inexplicable pressure hanging over their heads.

She picked up her coffee, took a sip, and formed a preliminary assessment of the band's situation.

[Deng Jiang is probably the core member of the band. Although she doesn't talk much, all decisions are made in a way that revolves around her.]

Furthermore, after she invited me, none of the others questioned her actions, regardless of their attitudes, which demonstrates that she wields considerable influence.

Despite being a key figure, she rarely took the initiative to express herself, and primarily listened during conversations.

Therefore, during the band's conversation, the rhythm was controlled by Su Shi.

[Contrary to the instrument she plays, she has a very high presence among the group, and seems to be deeply trusted by everyone; even Lena has a childlike dependence on her.]

Speaking of Rakuna, she seems to care a lot about Sawa-kun; that was evident when they came over from the school festival.

However, judging from her expression, it seems to be more of a dependent feeling?

[Finally, there's Riki. How should I put it? It seems like she cares a lot about Deng-chan, and the way she treats me is kind of "guarded"?]

But why are you being wary of me? I'm here to join everyone, not to replace anyone.

These people are so hard to understand...

Although our first meeting wasn't entirely smooth, since I've already agreed to play in a band with Deng-chan, I'll do my best.

Difficulties can always be overcome.

I cannot give up halfway through again.

Seeing that the atmosphere among them had turned cold, Nagasaki Motoyo opened the bag she had brought; inside was a box of five peaches.

"These are newly harvested peaches, and they taste very good."

"I was planning to bring some for everyone to try yesterday, but unfortunately there was no band activity."

"It just so happens that Ai-yin is here today, let's try it together."

"The shop owner has already cleaned it."

The atmosphere among the group improved slightly, and they started talking about fruit, using peaches as a topic of conversation.

Since there was no rehearsal planned for today, after finishing their fruit and coffee, no one intended to stay any longer. After saying goodbye to each other, they prepared to go home.

Seeing that Rakuna remained seated without moving, Nagasaki Motoyo stopped at the top of the stairs after seeing the other three down, then turned and sat down next to her, speaking softly.

"Little Lena doesn't seem very happy?"

Yue Nai lowered her gaze slightly and began to speak.

"Shirakawa should have told us about the new member first."

Nagasaki Motoyo was somewhat curious.

"Why, little Lenai?"

The cat didn't say anything.

After a moment of silence, she spoke.

"I'm going to find Shirakawa."

After saying that, he got up and walked downstairs.

Nagasaki Motoyo now regrets asking that extra question. What was supposed to be a world for two has now been expanded to include a cat.

Although they won't do anything whether the cats are there or not, it still feels different.

However, she had no choice at this point and could only hope that the other party wouldn't stay with Shirakawa Sawa forever.

After slinging her backpack over her shoulder, Nagasaki Motoyo quickly caught up with him.

After arriving at their destination, the two rang the doorbell.

A short while later, the door opened, and Shirakawa saw that the cat had also come over. He looked a little surprised, but not too surprised. After greeting her, he turned and walked towards the kitchen, saying as he went,

"Please make yourselves at home. I'll go and prepare the fish."

"Take any drinks from the fridge."

After entering, Rakuna shifted her gaze to the shoe cabinet, then looked up at Nagasaki Motoyo.

"I got two new pairs of slippers."

After a pause, she continued speaking.

"No, it's a pair."

She just remembered that one of the pairs was worn by Toyokawa Shoko, whom she had seen before.

Nagasaki Motoyo knew that the other pair had been worn by Wakaba Mutsu, and smiled as she spoke.

"Xiao Le Nai, Ze Jun's friend is coming to visit, so he'll definitely need to bring new slippers."

Without saying a word, Yao Lena changed her shoes and went to the kitchen. Looking at Shirakawa Ze, she asked directly.

"Shirakawa, are there any other new members?"

Volume 1: Chapter 149 You Are Everyone's Man

As Shirakawa scaled the fish, he glanced up at the cat, his eyes filled with curiosity.

"What new member?"

Lena leaned closer, her eyes serious.

"The band's newest member."

At that moment, Nagasaki Motoyo walked in. Shirakawa Sawa turned his gaze to her and asked,

"Su Shi, do you know what Le Nai meant by that?"

Nagasaki Motoyo looked thoughtful for a moment, and spoke while putting on her apron.

"Xiao Le Nai just told me that if there are any new members joining the band, Ze Jun should notify us in advance."

Shirakawa's confusion deepened. He didn't understand what the band's affairs had to do with him, and he wouldn't deliberately influence their decisions.
