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

Shirakawa Ze understood what she meant, tightened his grip slightly, and nodded...

Volume 1: Chapter 166 You Want to Find a Partner

Upon entering the living room, Shirakawa Sawa sat down next to Kaname.

The cat turned its head and glanced at him, then picked up a matcha daifuku and placed it in front of him.

"For you to eat."

Shirakawa thanked him with a smile, then his expression became more serious.

"Lena, there's something I want to tell you."

"I've always wanted to distance myself from the band, not that I wanted to sever ties with you guys."

Yao Lena didn't speak, but her attention became noticeably focused, and she slowed down her chewing.

Shirakawa Sawa continued.

“I used to think that the band was the band and you were you, and that they were two separate concepts.”

"But after listening to what Deng Jiang said, I understood that without you guys, there would be no band, and without the band, you guys wouldn't be together."

“From the very beginning, you have been closely connected with the band itself.”

"But I presumptuously wanted to separate you."

"I'm sorry, Lena, I apologize for what I said to you before."

Yoro Nai shook her head and whispered, "It's okay."

Then she rubbed her face against Shirakawa's shoulder and continued eating matcha daifuku, but her eyes showed more joy than before.

Seeing the cat's reaction, Shirakawa Sawa smiled contentedly and reached out to pat her head.

"Thank you for forgiving me, Lena."

"Then I'll go cook."

Rakuna reached out and took a matcha daifuku. She followed him into the kitchen, walked to Takamatsu Akari, pressed her face against his, and then handed him the daifuku.

She knew in her heart that without the person in front of her, Shirakawa Ze wouldn't have said these things to her today.

She understood that the person in front of her was the one at the top of the food chain, but he simply wouldn't flaunt it.

Faced with the cat's friendly gesture, Takamatsu Akari smiled happily, took the daifuku, and ate it.

Yoro hummed happily, then turned and left the kitchen.

After the two finished cooking, they called the cat over to eat.

Unlike before, Kaname didn't rush in and sit down immediately. Instead, she waited until Takamatsu Akari sat down before sitting down next to her.

Seeing her actions, Takamatsu realized something and looked at her with a smile.

"Just do whatever makes Lena comfortable."

Yoru Nai immediately hummed happily and then sat down on the other side of Shirakawa Sawa.

After dinner, the three of them went to the living room and chatted while watching TV.

Takamatsu Akari's phone screen lit up; it was a message from Shiina Tatsuki.

First, there was a picture, then a line of text.

"Deng, I've finished composing the melody for 'Azure Sky's Companionship.' Do you have time tomorrow?"

Gao Songdeng replied, "I have time."

Immediately afterwards, Shiina Tatsuki posted a picture of sheet music along with text messages in the band's group chat.

"This is the score for the song 'Azure Sky Accompanied by the Sky'."

"Does everyone have time to practice tomorrow?"

After seeing the message, Rakuna turned to look at Takamatsu Akari.

"I have time."

The latter nodded with a smile, then sent a message in the group.

"Both Lena and I have time."

Immediately afterwards, a message from Nagasaki Motoyo popped up.

"I have time too."

So everyone agreed to meet at RiNG at 3 p.m. the next day.

After putting down her phone, Takamatsu Akari continued watching TV while leaning against Shirakawa Sawa.

The TV program was Animal World, and this episode happened to be about penguins in Antarctica, which piqued my interest.

But for Yoro, it was quite boring.

Generally speaking, a normal person would leave in such an atmosphere.

But Lena is no ordinary person.

Since she was already full, she wasn't interested in the snacks for the time being, so she started looking for something to pass the time.

After looking at it for a while, she turned her gaze to the bag containing the skirt. Since the bag was opaque and she couldn't see what was inside, she got up and opened the bag.

Upon seeing that it was a dress underneath, her eyes immediately lit up with interest.

It's obvious that this is Takamatsu Takamori's clothing.

She took out the dress, and after examining the style, her interest grew even stronger. She turned to look at Takamatsu Akira.

"I want to see you wear it."

The latter was stunned for a moment, and a hint of shyness appeared in her eyes.

Seeing that the other person didn't immediately refuse, Lena quickly moved closer and started rubbing her face against them.

"I want to see it, I want to see it."

A helpless yet doting feeling welled up inside Gao Songdeng, and he reached out to pat the cat's head.

"Okay, Lenai, please wait a moment."

Then she picked up her skirt and went into the bedroom.

After a while, Takamatsu Tō came out of the bedroom, her face flushed, her body slightly hunched, and her arms wrapped around her shoulders.

A strong light flashed in Yao Lena's eyes. He got up, walked up to her, and began to examine her closely.

Takamatsu felt very embarrassed by the other person's gaze and immediately wanted to turn around and change her clothes back.

When Rakuna realized the other person's intention, she immediately hugged her waist, then looked at the boy on the sofa.

"Shirakawa!"

"nice!"

Shirakawa nodded, stood up, walked to the two of them, gently separated them, then turned to look at the cat with a righteous expression.

"Lanna, I have some academic questions I'd like to discuss with Deng-chan. Could you please go home first?"

Yoro tilted her head, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

She felt like something was wrong, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.

I have a feeling that there's a sense of betrayal or dismantling that's been passed on to me.

Takamatsu Akari naturally knew what Shirakawa Sawa was planning to do. She called out to him softly, her tone implying a prohibition.

Then she turned to look at the cat.

"Lena, Ze-kun is just joking with you."

"Wait for me a moment, I'll change my clothes back, and then we'll go back together."

Yoru Nai nodded, watched the other person walk into the bedroom, then looked up at Shirakawa Sawa with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Although he was quite thick-skinned, he felt a little embarrassed by the look in the cat's eyes. He reached out and patted her head, said nothing, and turned to sit back on the sofa.

His behavior just now did have a joking element to it, but it wasn't entirely a joke.

He admitted that he had indeed considered it.

However, he couldn't really explain this to the cat.

After putting some desserts from the table into a box, Shirakawa looked at the cat.

"Lenai, these desserts were bought for you. Remember to take them back with you later."

Yoro Nai nodded, then walked over and sat down next to him, continuing to stare at him.

After a while, she remembered a word she had heard on the animal documentary and felt it was very suitable to describe the other person.

"Shirakawa, you're thinking of finding a mate."

Shirakawa Sawa broke out in a light sweat, realizing he should probably forbid Rakuna from watching Animal World from now on.

Just then, Takamatsu Akira, who had just come out of the bedroom, heard it and couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Then, his expression returned to normal, and he pretended not to have heard anything. He walked into the living room, greeted the boy, and left with Yoro Nai.

Shortly after the two left, Shirakawa Sawa received a message from Takamatsu Akari.

"Ze-jun, you need to control yourself a bit in the future!"

Volume 1: Chapter 167 What kind of awareness do you have?

The doorbell rang the next morning.

Shirakawa Sawa opened the door and saw Toyokawa Shoko standing outside, holding a few pages of paper in her hand.

Upon seeing the former, the latter immediately spoke, her eyes sparkling.
