It started with being hated by the girl in the band

Although he said this, Kaname Lenai was really like a stray cat. He had no intention of stopping and didn't even hesitate for a moment.

"...I'll talk to you later!"

Realizing that Kaname Rakuna obviously didn't listen, Shiina Riki glared fiercely at Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who had just been obediently being scolded, and walked out of the counter in a hurry.

Chapter 78 Cats and Cats.

"So you can't bring wild cats from outside into RiNG, got it?"

After lecturing for most of the day, Shiina Riki pointed at the "No Pets Allowed" label on RiNG's door, put his hands on his hips helplessly, and looked at Kaname Rana in front of him who was completely daydreaming, and could only worry about his own headache.

Nagasaki Motoyo, who had previously played the role of the little mother, did not take action this time. She just chuckled and looked at the embarrassed Shiina Riki.

"Hey, you... Nakagawa! You too, tell me something about this stray cat!"

Turning his head to look at Nakagawa Nobuyuki who was gloating, Shiina Riki was immediately furious and almost said "you bastard" to Nakagawa Nobuyuki again. He had finally managed to get Runa to change his words.

"Ah...it seems that Shiina is still being taken advantage of by Rakuna."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki shook his head with an amused look on his face and calmly met Shiina Riki's unfriendly gaze.

Others certainly don't have as much experience as Nakagawa Nobuyuki in dealing with these little brats. When they were in the orphanage, the older Nakagawa Nobuyuki took care of the little brats a lot.

Generally speaking, these disobedient little kids will respond to soft tactics rather than hard ones.

"Lena, if it's a cat, it's very cute."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki leaned down slightly and looked into Kaname Rakuna's clear and pure eyes of different colors.

"so cute."

Kaname Rakuna blinked and nodded.

"There are so many cute cats, what's so special about this one?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki pretended to be curious, as if to persuade him.

The eyes of Kaname Rakuna in front of him were shining, as if he was evaluating something, staring at Nakagawa Nobuyuki's face.

“…I’m injured.”

After a while, Kaname finally spoke.

As if to prove that what she said was true, Kaname Rakuna jumped lightly from the chair and handed the orange cat in her arms to Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

"Meow~"

The orange cat meowed softly.

Although I really want to complain about something like "Aren't you afraid of parasites or something?", I change my mind and realize that the cat girl in front of me doesn't seem to care about such things.

Yao Lenai's reaction speed is seven times that of a parasite, and he will run away on his own if he feels uncomfortable.

Taking the orange cat, Nakagawa Nobuya gently touched the top of the cat's head.

It feels pretty good, its fur is quite shiny, and it doesn't look very scary... Are you sure it's not someone's lost cat or a cat being fed by nearby residents?

Holding the purring kitten, Nakagawa Nobuhiro looked at Shiina Tatsuki beside him.

(Throw the cat out quickly!)

Shiina Riki gave me this look.

(I say this is not good... After all, Lenai trusts me so much.)

Nakagawa Nobuyuki gave a helpless look in return and had to turn his head to look at Nagasaki Suyo on the other side and blinked as if for help.

(Nagasaki, help, help!)

Seeing Nakagawa Nobuyuki's request for help, Nagasaki Suyo sighed softly.

really.

It really can't work if Zhonghe leaves me.

"Alright alright little Lenai, be obedient okay?"

Slowly touching Yorozuna's little head, Nagasaki Suyo's gentle tone, as if coaxing a child, made people want to obey unconsciously.

But this time, Kaname Rakuna seemed very persistent. She shook her head seriously and looked at Nagasaki Motoyo who looked surprised in front of her.

"I'm injured, so I can't."

The situation suddenly became deadlocked, especially for Nakagawa Nobuyuki, who was holding the cat, he was in a dilemma.

Looking at the trusting eyes that Kaname Rakuna was looking at him with, and then looking at the serious gaze of Shiina Riki on the side, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could only think of another way.

If the cat is thrown away, Lenai will definitely not be happy - I was counting on Lenai to teach the little pink-haired boy to play the guitar.

But if it wasn't lost, Shiina Riki next to her would definitely not be able to escape Miss Rinrinko's preaching. She also wanted to learn composition from Shiina.

"...How about this, Nakagawa-san?"

As if she saw that Nakagawa Nobuyuki was in a dilemma, Nagasaki Suyo smiled gently and offered her own suggestion.

"Although the volunteer rescue station is probably closed today, but can we still keep it for a few days before sending it over?"

Nagasaki Suyo twirled her hair and looked at the people around her.

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was still stroking the kitten in his arms, nodded in approval, and gave Nagasaki Motoyo a look of gratitude.

(Thanks to you, Nagasaki.)

Yao Lenai seemed to be thinking about something.

Even Shiina Riki, who originally had a tough attitude, seemed quite satisfied with this plan.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's do this, shall we?"

Nagasaki Suyo clasped her hands together and passed the motion with a smile.

At present, it seems that Nagasaki Motoyo's proposal is indeed more reasonable.

"Oh, Xinxin is here~"

"And Sushi-san."

Suddenly, a familiar and energetic voice came from behind Nakagawa Nobuyuki. Before Nakagawa Nobuyuki could say anything, Chihaya Aine was already standing opposite Nakagawa Nobuyuki.

"There are actually cats...so cute."

Chihaya Aine was a little surprised, and reached out her hand to gently touch the orange cat's head.

"Meow~"

She meowed at the little orange boy in front of her without feeling the slightest bit of shame or embarrassment. Perhaps this was a special skill of the little pink-haired boy.

"It's better not to touch stray cats like that...even though they look quite clean."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki helplessly looked at Chihaya Aine who was teasing Xiaoju in front of him and looked nonchalant, and could only stand closer.

"How's your guitar practice going?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki asked the little pink-haired girl in front of him who seemed to be in a good mood. At this moment, Chihaya Aine did not show the nervous and depressed look she had in the morning at all.

"Hehe, Xiao Deng said I'm very talented!"

Chihaya Aine, feeling somewhat complacent, hummed twice and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki as if to seek credit.

"Nowadays, there is no need to look at fingerstyle music to play commonly used chords!"

Looking at Chihaya Aine who was wagging her tail happily in front of him, Nakagawa Shin couldn't help but be infected by her and felt better.

"And the lamp?"

"Deng is still writing lyrics in the practice room. It seems that Deng has been very happy since this afternoon."

While chatting with Chihaya Aine, Nakagawa Shin accidentally removed the hand that was originally pressing under Kotachi.

Chihaya Aine was originally thinking about continuing to show off to Nakagawa Nobuyuki in front of her, but when her eyes met, she suddenly saw the hand with a Band-Aid wrapped around it that Nakagawa Nobuyuki had been intentionally hiding.

"Hey...um, how did Xinxin hurt his hand?"

Chihaya Aine was stunned and asked quickly.

I always feel that the wound under the Band-Aid might be very important.

When they heard that Nakagawa Nobuyuki had injured his hand, although everyone was still doing their own things and didn't react on the surface, they secretly turned their attention to him.

"This... is just an accidental burn, it's not a big deal."

Nakagawa Nobuyuki had a plan in place and explained the problem casually.

It was indeed a burn, but the black marks on the wound still exist. Since he couldn't figure out what the [progress bar] was, Nakagawa Nobuyuki could only sit back and wait for changes.

Although Chihaya Aine instinctively felt that something was wrong, she didn't say anything in the end. She just earnestly reminded him to be more careful in the future.

Chapter 79 Xiangzi: What about me?

The practice time ended faster than everyone imagined. It felt like it had just begun, but when you looked at the time, a long time had passed.

Perhaps the practice was effective, Chihaya Aine actually performed well this time, with only a few minor mistakes. It was much better than the last time when there were so many errors.

The main entrance of RiNG.

"Hey, Shiina, if you wanted to pet the kitten, why didn't you just say so earlier?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki deliberately sighed loudly and looked at Shiina Tatsuki who was looking at him with concern but was hesitant and had not stepped forward.

“…Stop talking!”

Shiina Riki glared at Nakagawa Shin, gritted his teeth, then approached with a slightly blushing face, and stroked the kitten in Nakagawa Shin's arms cautiously with his hands.

Looking at the little orange that was snoring, Shiina Riki couldn't help but smile unconsciously, and even his eyes became a little gentle.

"Shiina, if you ever show me this expression, I will definitely suspect that you are possessed by some spirit."

Nakagawa Shin felt a chill as he looked at the rather unfamiliar Shiina Tatsuki in front of him.

"...I'm too lazy to care about you."

Shiina Riki curled her lips and looked like she didn't want to talk to him.

After a while, Shiina Riki cleared his throat and looked at Nakagawa Nobuyuki seriously.

"Nakagawa, did Deng tell you about Live?"

Nakagawa Nobu nodded: "I heard from Deng that there will be a live show during the summer vacation, right?"

If it’s a live show during the summer vacation, I might have time to go and see it.

"Yes, so if possible... it would be best to come to RiNG tomorrow, right?"

After reaching a consensus, the two returned to RiNG.

Of course, the cat was still in Nakagawa Nobuyuki's arms.

As a result, the two people who had just returned from the RiNG gate saw the little pink-haired girl seemed to be pestering Nagasaki Suyo and seemed to have made some unreasonable demands.

"Okay, okay, okay~ Just consider it as a reward for playing so well today~"

Chihaya Aine opened her eyes wide and looked pitifully at Nagasaki Motoyo who had a helpless look on her face.

"So...what happened?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki put the cat back into the arms of Kaname Rakuna who opened her arms, and looked at Chihaya Aine who was pestering Nagasaki Motoyo with a puzzled look on his face.

"…Um, Xinxin, don't ask about this."

When she saw Nakagawa Nobuyuki coming back from outside the RiNG door, Chihaya Aine's face suddenly turned slightly red, and she immediately let go of the hand that was shaking Nagasaki Motoyo's arm.

“【Xinxin is so cute holding a cat】.”

Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Chihaya Aine with a slightly rosy face and Nakagawa Nobuyuki with a puzzled look, and suddenly she felt a little playful and spoke with a chuckle.

"Varied……?"

Nakagawa Nobuyuki was even more confused. He looked at Nagasaki Suyo, who looked calm but was obviously trying to hold back a smile, and the little pink-haired girl who was shocked and turned her head away in shame.

"Eh!!!"
