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

After calming herself down a bit, she put on sunglasses, walked off the bridge, and headed to her office.

As she stepped out of the building, she saw a man and a woman walking towards her, holding hands and chatting and laughing.

She initially thought they were just an ordinary couple and didn't pay much attention.

But when she looked at it a second time, she was suddenly shocked—Shirakawa Ze?

Volume 1: Chapter 196 What aspect of impression do you want to ask about?

Upon seeing Shirakawa Sawa approaching, Mikasa Hatsuka immediately focused all her attention on the two of them.

Because of the sunglasses, she wasn't worried at all about attracting their attention.

Then she realized that she also knew the girl next to him.

That was Akari Takamatsu, the lead singer of CRYCHIC, a band that Shoko Toyokawa once formed.

I've looked at that group photo on their account's homepage countless times; there's absolutely no way I could mistake them.

After recognizing the two people, Mikasa Hatsuka did not imagine the relationship or how the three of them interacted.

This only confirmed my suspicion that Shirakawa Ze was a scumbag who philandered everywhere.

At the same time, she also felt curious.

She wanted to figure out what was going on between the three of them.

If the investigation reveals that Shirakawa Sawa really did hurt Toyokawa Shoko, then I will definitely find a chance to avenge her.

She suppressed her inner turmoil, pretending to be nonchalant as she walked past the two of them, hailed a taxi on the roadside, and headed to the office...

Because of his distinctive appearance, Shirakawa noticed Mitsumi Hatsuka at this moment, but he didn't show anything or choose to greet her. Instead, he continued to walk into the Sunshine Building with Takamatsu Akari.

However, they didn't come to see the stars today; they came to pick out a birthday present for Nagasaki Motoyo.

After all, this building houses not only a planetarium and an aquarium, but also all sorts of shops.

The two had already decided what gift to give before they arrived.

Takamatsu first bought clay, paint, and a gift box.

She plans to sculpt three penguins out of clay, symbolizing herself, Shirakawa Sawa, and Nagasaki Motoyo.

Then, use the stones you collected to make a base, and stick the three penguins on it to make a decorative piece.

She had also come up with the design for the ornament: three penguins of the same size standing back to back on a circular base, so that they always face forward no matter which side you look at them from, symbolizing that all three are equally important.

Shirakawa's idea was simpler: he focused on practicality and bought two bottles of aromatherapy that the other person liked.

After buying the gifts, the two found a nearby restaurant for dinner and then went home separately.

……

The next morning, Sanjiao Chuhua arrived at the classroom early.

After Hachiman Kairin came in and put down her schoolbag and bass case, she looked up at her.

"Hai Ling, do you have time now?"

The former turned his head to look at her, nodded, and said nothing.

Mitsukasa stood up and led the other person to a nearby vending machine where there were few people. Then she stopped, turned around, and looked at her.

"Hailin, I'm going to join the band formed by my childhood friend and be the lead singer and guitarist."

"We'd like to invite you to join our band as the bassist."

"I don't know if you're interested."

Hearing this, Hachiman Kairin was a little surprised. Her first thought was about the other person's entertainment activities, but she didn't ask any further questions.

After all, a little thought would tell you that if the other party invited you directly, it must have already been taken care of.

She nodded, without revealing any emotion.

"Just send me the sheet music and the specific time and location a week before the performance."

Sanjiao Chuhua then spoke, her gaze sincere.

"Hailin, this time it's different from your previous bands."

"We don't want you as a support player."

"This is a band that belongs only to us."

Hachiman Kairin's heart was touched. She paused for a moment, then asked...

"What about the other members of the band? Who are they?"

Triangle Chuhua also had limited information.

"The band's founder is my childhood friend, named Toyokawa Shoko, who plays the keyboards."

"A rhythm guitarist has been chosen, but I don't know who it is."

"If you're willing to join us, then the only thing we haven't decided on is the drummer."

Upon hearing that they were short of a drummer, Hachiman Kairin immediately pictured someone in her mind, but then dismissed the thought.

She knew perfectly well that she couldn't persuade the drummer, the one she most wanted to form a band with, to give up his current band and join her side.

Seeing the girl in front of her deep in thought, Mikasa continued,

"Hailing, I'll send you Xiaoxiang's contact information in a bit."

"If you have time, you can meet with her first."

"If you hear Xiao Xiang's vision for the band, I believe you will definitely be moved."

Yawata Kairin nodded, then turned to leave.

Just as she turned around, she heard Mitsukazu call out to her and ask her a question.

Did Hailing see Shirakawa Ze during the competition?

Hachiman Kairin stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at the other person, feeling a little puzzled.

However, she didn't ask anything, she just nodded.

"I've seen it."

Sanjiao Chuhua continued to ask,

What is Hailing's impression of him?

Hachiman Kairin did not answer immediately, but paused for a few seconds before speaking.

"What kind of impression does Chu Hua want to ask about?"

Mikasa Hatsuka smiled.

"Perhaps what we want to know is only one aspect of the matter."

Hachiman Kairin understood what the other person meant.

"He's very popular with women."

"My girlfriend is the lead singer of Lixi's current band. Her name is Gao Songdeng. The two have a very good relationship."

Mikasa Hatsuka's eyes narrowed as she confirmed the information.

"Is Li Xi's current band called CRYCHICI?"

Hachiman Kairin shook her head.

"Lixi's band doesn't have a name yet."

"The one you're talking about is their previous band."

"In the current band, Li Xi, the lead singer, and the bassist are from the original CRYCHIC."

"The other two are not."

"By the way, the silver-haired girl who came to the class looking for Lixi that day is the lead guitarist of their current band."

"The other guitarist is a girl with long pink hair, whom they call 'Aion'."

The triangular initial bloom is clear.

When she first heard that Shiina Tatsuki was the drummer and Takamatsu Akari was the lead vocalist, she thought she had gathered the wrong information.

It turns out that CRYCHIC disbanded, and three of its members formed a new band.

if it is like this……

She recalled the unnatural expression on Toyokawa Shoko's face yesterday when Shirakawa Sawa was mentioned, and a sudden chill ran down her spine.

Could it be that CRYCHIC's disbandment was also related to Shirakawa Sawa?

But then she realized what she had done.

[No, no, CRYCHIC stopped operating a long time ago. Shirakawa Sawa must have been someone Xiaoxiang met when he was in high school...]

After learning new information, Misaka Chuka found herself even more confused.

She felt a bit confused about the existing information.

At this moment, Hachiman Kairin also noticed the other party's abnormality, but she did not interrupt his thoughts and just watched quietly.

After thinking for a while and realizing she had no clue what to do, Mikasa looked up at the girl in front of her, a grateful smile on her face.

"Thank you, Hailing. Let's go back now."

Volume 1: Chapter 197 Su Shi Accepts Xiao Mu's Cucumber

During the lunch break, Hachiman Kairin walked up to Shiina Tatsuki's desk.

"Want to go buy a drink?"

The latter felt that the other person probably had something to say to him, and since he had just finished eating, he could buy a drink to quench his thirst, so he got up and went with the other person to the vending machine.

After taking her drink from the dispenser, Hachiman Kairin straightened up and looked at the girl next to her who was inserting coins.

"Lixi, someone has invited me to form a band."
