Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Which is more flavorful: Wu Hua calling herself a "stupid dog" or... a master calling himself a "traitorous disciple"?

"I'm sorry... I know I was wrong, please don't be angry, Ms. Wakaba."

Regardless of what she was thinking, Aine understood that the best course of action in this situation was to quickly admit her mistake and show that she was reflecting on it.

After apologizing, Aine began to look around to see what kind of object had hit her on the head.

She saw it.

Mu was holding a small cucumber in her hand.

Ah...no wonder...it doesn't hurt at all.

Aine suddenly understood a lot.

"Why...why a cucumber?"

Ai blinked curiously, and finally voiced her doubts.

Aine noticed that when she asked the question, Wakaba-sensei's expression seemed to show a moment of sadness.

Wakaba Mutsu is also a girl who is not good at lying.

She looked at Aine's face and frowned, a sign of her inner struggle.

But Mu still spoke to Aine.

Mutsu clearly understood that her dislike for Aine was almost entirely due to Aine's close relationship with Kirika.

If Aine had no connection with Wuhua Haozi Lingba; Lingjiu (3) VI Jiu, she wouldn't mind becoming friends with this cheerful girl who was also... good at reading the room.

She didn't actually dislike Aine as a person.

"Because if they're ripe and not picked... they'll spoil sooner or later."

This is Mu's answer.

This little cucumber was originally planted by her and Wuhua together.

But... Wuhua followed Xiangzi to a regular school.

She was left alone to water the seedlings every day.

The joy of the harvest that I wanted to share with Wuhua could not be conveyed.

Mu remembers that after she sent photos of the cucumbers she had harvested to Wuhua, the other party only replied with a simple "hmm".

This made Mu feel very negative.

To be honest, these cucumbers are not worth much money at all, but that's why she cherishes them so much.

It was entirely because what she and Wuhua planted together back then was the "crystallization" of their two lives.

It is because of this added value that she perseveres and persists in taking good care of the patient every day.

But...every time she harbors a dream, it seems... it will be ruthlessly shattered.

Volume 1: Chapter 122 Troublesome Disciple

Ai Yin looked at her master, her expression gradually changing from dejected to... gloomy.

Ai-yin immediately tensed up.

I think I... said something wrong again?

She quickly tried to figure out what she had done wrong.

It must be because of that cucumber after all... Ever since I asked that question, my master's expression has been strange.

But... cucumber?

Aine seemed to remember something.

She quickly took out her phone and checked.

I was right.

Then Aine spoke.

"Is that cucumber... important to Master?"

?

Mu's face was pale, but upon hearing Aine's words, she still looked up, gave Aine a displeased look, and then nodded her head slightly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"I knew it! No wonder Master's LINE profile picture is a cucumber flower."

Ai Yin held up her phone and zoomed in on Mu's profile picture.

The five-petaled yellow flower was so eye-catching, it looked just like a starfish stranded on the beach.

Eh?

Mutsu showed a surprised expression to Aine for the first time.

She was surprised... that this troublesome pink disciple could actually notice this.

Even Su Shi, who was closest to her at school, didn't notice at all.

"Hehehe... I feel a little happy to be disciplined by my master with something he cherishes. So, can this be considered a case of a strict teacher producing outstanding students? My master must really want me to become more powerful."

Ai Yin smiled and touched the spot on her forehead where Mu had just tapped her.

No...not at all.

I just wanted to hit you.

Mu looked away, because she felt that the girl's smile was so dazzling.

And...it's very heartwarming.

He hit himself... and then said he was happy, what a masochist...

but……

At that moment, Mu suddenly thought of her mist flower again.

When I was hurt by the mist flowers, didn't I also feel... quite comfortable?

Well... I don't think I'm qualified to lecture Aine.

……

He sighed softly.

Mu calmed himself down and then looked at Aine again.

She gave the cucumber she was holding to Ai-yin.

"It's for you."

Mu said.

The mist flower paid no attention to the crystals that formed.

If I were to give it to my friend Su Shi as a second choice... I feel like I wouldn't get much of a response.

Then let's take a step back... and give it to this troublesome pink disciple.

At least... if I give it to her, she should take it seriously.

Ai-yin did not disappoint Mu's good intentions.

She accepted the gift from her master with great joy.

As we have already proven, this cucumber is very important to the master.

They're even willing to give themselves something so important.

That must mean that his identity as a disciple has been fully recognized by the other party.

Then... Aine, who is good at taking advantage of others, would naturally make that connection.

Maybe I can eventually shed the identity of "disciple" and gradually become friends with my master, and even become closer?

First address him as "Master," then as "Classmate," and finally, always address him by his name.

Ai Yin set herself a new goal.

After thanking her mentor, Ms. Wakaba Mutsu, Aine naturally picked up the cucumber.

The gritty texture of the cucumber skin sparked new associations in Ai Yin's mind.

It's because Aine has been watching a lot of inappropriate content lately.

In those 18+ yuri works, cucumbers are often a very important "prop".

Perhaps because the tension suddenly subsided, Aine began to show... her eccentric side again.

In most cases, Ai Yin is a very perceptive and sociable girl.

But... sometimes Aine can also habitually court disaster.

So, almost as if possessed, she blurted out the question.

"Um... Master, have you ever used this cucumber?"

I just heard about this question.

Mutsu's expression was one of utter bewilderment, as if she didn't understand at all what Aine meant by asking that question.

But then Mutsu saw Aine's flushed face.

Mu quickly understood.

Mu's expression also turned blush.

His authority as a "master" shattered at this moment.

Therefore, Mu felt he had to do something to save face.

We need to teach this troublesome disciple...whose head is full of lewd nonsense, a lesson.

Of course she's never used it!

Mutsu then tackled Aine to the ground.

The guitar in Ai Yin's hand was thrown aside, and it made a loud thud when it hit the ground.
