Aspiring to be a girl in a band

"Let's not talk about irrelevant things today. As for Aine's problem, let her figure it out herself. Akari believes that Aine can get out of this disappointment, doesn't she?"

As Arakawa Kirika spoke, she hugged the lamp and began to gently bite its neck.

"..."

Akari actually wanted to say something more for Aine, but as Arakawa Kirika became increasingly outrageous, she found herself unable to find the words.

"After doing something like this, the lamp must have realized its mistake."

Arakawa Kirika revealed a sly smile again.

She brought her lips close to the lamp's ear, kissed it first, and then continued speaking.

"Don't go home today."

The lamp paused for a moment, clearly struggling internally.

But she eventually nodded.

As for my parents... I told them I was busy practicing with my teammates, so I'd sleep at a friend's house tonight.

The lamp silently recited a sentence in its heart.

Sorry... Ai-yin.

I couldn't help you.

Volume 1: Chapter 119 Switching Positions

Aine woke up very early today; she spent the day adjusting her mood.

Everyone is waiting for me, so I can't afford not to get myself into the right mindset.

As soon as Ai-yin entered the classroom, she saw the lights.

But for some reason, Ai-yin felt that the lights were a bit strange today.

The lamp's complexion was much rosier than usual, and... it was also intentionally or unintentionally avoiding my gaze.

It's like...doing something bad.

How could that be...

Ai Yin smiled. The other party was Deng, how could he possibly do anything bad?

So Aine walked toward the lamp.

There was no way to avoid it; the light still met Aine's gaze.

"I'm sorry, Aine."

The lamp spoke softly.

Aine understood the meaning of the lamp; she hadn't held out much hope from the start.

She was already deeply moved just to see that the lamp was willing to work hard for her.

So Aine smiled and chatted casually with the lamp for a few minutes before returning to her seat.

A while later.

Aine saw Arakawa Kirika walk into the classroom.

Her heart jumped into her throat.

Oops……

Aine thought she had calmed down, but she didn't expect to get nervous again when she actually saw the other person.

Those words popped into her mind again.

I really, really hate you.

These words were like a sharp thorn, stuck in Aine's heart, making it impossible for her to forget them.

So Aine quickly lowered her head, afraid of meeting the other person's gaze.

Why does time seem to pass so slowly...?

Aine, who was extremely nervous, just wanted the school bell to ring soon, but things didn't go as planned.

There's still some time before classes start.

Arakawa Kirika's footsteps sounded so heavy to Aine, like drumsticks striking her ears one by one.

Ai Yin didn't dare to look up, but... her hearing told her.

Arakawa Kirika...it seems...she's walked right up to me?

Aine opened her eyes and checked.

She could see Arakawa Kirika's shoes, and the toes of the shoes were pointing directly at her.

"I heard you didn't practice well yesterday."

It was Arakawa Kirika's cool and familiar tone.

But Aine didn't listen to what the other person was saying at all; she was thinking instead.

...Now that things have come to this, why would they still want to talk to me?

After saying things like "I hate you".

To Ai-yin, those words were clearly a declaration of breaking off their friendship.

Could it be that... in Wuhua's heart, the meaning of "hate" is different from that of ordinary people?

The lamp turned its head and looked at the two people behind it, its expression showing some worry.

But... the lamp was secretly delighted.

Because she knew very well that as long as the two of them still had the desire to communicate, there was still hope.

If they continue to ignore each other, that would be truly dangerous.

……

Was it because I didn't express myself clearly enough?

Arakawa Kirika looked at Aine, who still refused to look up, and thought for a moment.

"Lift your head up."

As if by conditioned reflex, Aine raised her head at Arakawa Kirika's request.

Arakawa Kirika saw... Aine's expression was somewhat tense and also somewhat bewildered.

She... could it be that she wasn't paying attention at all?

Arakawa Kirika frowned.

"Are you even listening to me?"

She questioned him.

"Of course... there are..."

Ai-yin reluctantly raised her head, but her tone sounded very unconfident.

“Then repeat what I just said.”

……

Ai Yin was stunned on the spot.

She had been thinking about why Arakawa Kirika was talking to her, so... she didn't notice what the other person was saying at all.

At this moment, Aine is like a student who hasn't been paying attention in class and is suddenly called on by the teacher to answer a question.

So an embarrassed expression quickly appeared on her face.

"Sorry……"

Ai-yin said apologetically.

Although she didn't understand... why she was the one apologizing.

She was the one who was hurt, wasn't she?

But... how should I put it?

Aine placed her right hand on her chest.

Although she was still puzzled as to why Arakawa Kirika had spoken to her, her mood... was undoubtedly much better.

Wuhua is still willing to pay attention to herself.

Aine felt that she must be feeling very insignificant at this moment... but compared to the hope that was within reach, it didn't matter at all.

……

Arakawa Kirika looked around.

Quite a few eyes have already been drawn to them.

Those bored classmates seemed to be expecting some gossip.

Arakawa Kirika, of course, wouldn't let them have their way.

Then Arakawa Kirika turned her head and whispered something to the lamp.

"Light, can I switch seats with Aine today?"

Ling/Meng-Shou*fa light opened her eyes wide.

But she wasn't resisting; on the contrary, she was very happy.

The fact that Arakawa Kirika asked her to switch places with Aine must mean that Kirika wanted to talk to Aine more.

That's good... As long as things are cleared up, their relationship will definitely improve.

The lamp's ideas are always simple, but there is still a small problem facing it.

"But... what if the teacher asks..."

"Don't worry, no one will ask."

Or rather, no one dared to ask.
