Aspiring to be a girl in a band

But this belated news immediately made Ai Yin feel much better.

[Live... Keep it up, don't let me down.]

Aine finally received the encouragement she wanted.

But... Aine didn't feel particularly happy; instead, she was thinking.

They clearly... hate me so much.

Why did Wuhua still tell me, "Don't let me down"...?

What is there to expect from someone who is disliked?

Aiyin stared at that simple sentence repeatedly.

"Good luck..."

Aine smiled wryly, really hoping that I could "try my best"...

Just be a little gentler with them.

At this moment, Ai Yin seemed to have given up entirely.

Since Wuhua is so ruthless, we can't blame her for pushing her luck!

So, with a hint of resentment, Aine said fiercely.

[I just don't feel like having any energy... Maybe you shouldn't come the day after tomorrow, Wuhua... You'll be disappointed anyway.]

Ai Yin is preparing to do the opposite.

Her cleverness, of course, did not escape Arakawa Kirika's discerning eye.

Arakawa Kirika sat up in bed.

Looking at this message, I just found it funny.

This pink, stupid dog is really incredibly dumb.

Arakawa Kirika chuckled softly, determined to show Aine who was truly driven to the brink of despair.

"Is that so? Okay then, please pass on this to the lantern for me. I won't be going to the live show the day after tomorrow."

ha? ?

Ai Yin's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this from the phone that day.

She never expected... Arakawa Kirika would reply like that.

Then Aine's anxiety was reignited.

This is terrible...

Aine knew better than anyone how much effort Akari had put into this live performance.

The reason why the lamp was able to act with such extraordinary speed was because... Arakawa Kirika had said that she would come.

So... what should I do now...?

What should I say to the lamp with what kind of feelings...?

Because of my own nonsense, Wuhua is no longer coming...

The lamp will definitely not accept it.

Now I'm the one who's guilty.

So Aine quickly typed out.

I'm sorry... I was wrong.

Everyone... has worked so hard, they definitely won't let Kirika down, so... Kirika, please come and see... Akari... has been waiting for you all along.

Arakawa Kirika still wore a confident smile on her face.

She had long anticipated that Aine would say that.

"And what about you? Don't you still need encouragement?"

【No...it's not necessary! I'm full of energy right now, and I'll give it my all, so...please, Kirika, you absolutely have to come, otherwise, Tama will be very sad...】

Ai Yin added as she spoke.

Of course... if... there could be even a little bit of encouragement... that would be even better.

It seems that Aine hasn't given up after all.

Arakawa Kirika lightly touched her lips with her finger as she looked at the last sentence Aine had sent.

She felt as if she could already see Aine's greedy yet cowardly foolish face.

It was truly delightful.

Then she came up with an idea.

【It's not impossible, Aine. If you grant me one small request, I'll give you a little encouragement.】

Ai Yin's eyes lit up when she saw this sentence.

Could it be... that I can really get encouragement from Wuhua, who hates me?

What are the requirements?

Ai Yin immediately tensed up. She really wanted Wu Hua's encouragement, but her intuition also told her that Wu Hua's conditions... might be difficult to meet.

It's very simple, Aine, just call out to me twice.

Should it bark twice?

Aine was initially puzzled, and then... began to feel uneasy.

What should I call it...?

Her anxiety grew.

【Of course, it's barking like a dog! It suits Ai Yin perfectly, doesn't it?】

...It doesn't sound like it's that difficult.

It's just a little...too embarrassing.

Ai Yin blushed as she thought to herself.

She didn't feel that Arakawa Kirika's request for her to bark like a dog was an insult.

Instead, something else came to her mind...

Arakawa Kirika imitates a dog barking.

After picturing Arakawa Kirika's face in my mind, I can't help but think she's incredibly cute.

【I don't quite understand... Wuhua, could you please demonstrate first...?】

Of course, even if Ai Yin had ten times the courage, she wouldn't dare to actually send that edited message.

Otherwise... the consequences for yourself wouldn't be as simple as just being blocked.

I took two deep breaths.

Aine made up her mind.

Even... at this moment, a thought arose in her mind.

The idea was, "If you're going to seek thrills, then go all the way."

So she recorded a voice message for Arakawa Kirika.

"Woof... This is Master's pink puppy. I hope Master can sleep well, woof... Hmm... The poor little puppy wants Master's encouragement, woof..."

What did Arakawa Kirika think when she heard this voice message?

Anyway, she had already tossed her phone aside.

She was holding her forehead, a helpless expression on her face.

"As expected... it's a stupid dog."

Arakawa Kirika murmured to herself.

After a while, she picked up her phone, opened it, and found... there was a voice message.

She hesitated for a while before pressing play.

"Are you satisfied with the puppy's greeting, owner? The puppy is looking forward to your praise!"

You're addicted, aren't you...?

Arakawa Kirika gritted her teeth.

She felt that things were taking a strange turn.

So... she sent a message.

From this moment forward, you are not allowed to speak to me for the next 48 hours.

Volume 1: Chapter 125 The Cat's Sense of Smell

Toyokawa Shoko took a deep breath as she looked at the person blocking her way.

It was time for school to let out, and she was getting ready to change her shoes and leave school... when she ran into this guy.

Xiangzi remembered... it was in this very place last time that someone forced her to change his shoes.

For Xiangzi, what happened that day is still extremely shameful.

Suppressing her shyness, Xiangzi wondered whether she should ignore it, but... soon she saw Arakawa Kirika waving at her.

Now, there was no way for him to pretend he hadn't seen it.

So Xiangzi walked towards the other person, while wondering to himself why Arakawa Kirika had stopped her here today.

Could it be... that she's planning to use the same trick again?

But... things are different now than last time.

Last time it was just the two of them alone, but now... there are people watching all around.

If you're going to do that kind of thing... couldn't you find a secluded place?
