Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Faced with the crisis of the band potentially breaking up again, Lamp has clearly lost the ability to think.

Caught between Su Shi and Li hope, Aine had no choice but to bite the bullet and go up.

"Um... Lixi, please let go of Su Shi first, let's talk things out."

Because of the current crisis, Ai Yin can no longer be playful or witty, and she has to temporarily give up her usual nickname.

Lixi looked at Aiyin's face, hesitated for two seconds, and then released Sushi.

After escaping, Su Shi stretched her wrists a few times, then turned and left without saying a word.

"Wait a moment……"

Ai Yin quickly grabbed Su Shi's sleeve.

Ai Yin asked somewhat anxiously.

"Su Shi... doesn't want to say a single word to me... or to anyone else?"

Of course I want to... Of course I want to sit down right now and start our daily practice again.

Su Shi's expression softened for a moment, but... upon thinking of that person's order, she immediately reverted to her indifferent demeanor.

"I have nothing more to say to you, that's all."

Su Shi slammed the door shut and left, the loud thud seeming to strike the hearts of everyone present.

"This guy... I was clearly concerned about her, and he dared to call me..."

Call me a bad boy.

Li hope remained indignant.

Seeing that Su Shi's attitude was so firm that there was no room for negotiation, Deng could only wipe away her tears in secret.

"Really... that's enough, bands and stuff."

Seeing the lamp with tears streaming down its face, Aine was also confused by her concern. Although she had just noticed that Suze seemed to have revealed something in that instant, she had no energy left to recall it now.

She could only immediately begin to think about how to comfort Deng.

Throughout the entire process, Lena, who had remained silent, suddenly darted in front of the lamp.

Aine was startled by Rakuna's actions at first, and then became curious.

Because she realized that Lena probably also wanted to comfort Deng.

So Aine wanted to know what magic this cat possessed that could make the lamp stop crying and start laughing.

Lena gently touched the lamp's forehead, but her tone sounded very puzzled.

"Why is Tomori crying?"

Lena blinked very seriously.

Why……

Deng was stunned. Wasn't the reason for his tears... obvious? Because... the band was on the verge of falling apart again.

But Lena added.

"It's clear that Su Shi... doesn't want to quit at all. She's clearly lying."

Eh?

Now it wasn't just the lamp; Aine and Riki also looked at Ronai with shocked expressions.

With her beast-like intuition, Lena easily grasped the truth. Because she firmly believed in the truth, Lena was puzzled by everyone's reaction.

"Why...didn't anyone notice?"

Lena tilted her head and lightly touched her lips with the tip of her index finger.

Volume 1: Chapter 132 Confrontation

How is this going?

Arakawa Kirika frowned as she looked at the two people beside her.

Today, Ai-yin, full of energy, brought a lamp to her activity room to be an eyesore.

Arakawa Kirika has been holding back for a whole day.

She couldn't figure it out.

I clearly told Nagasaki Motoyo to leave the band, so why can't I see a trace of pain on their faces?

Instead, he seemed perfectly normal and came to chat with me again.

I need to confirm this.

Arakawa Kirika then spoke.

"Don't we need to rush to practice today?"

Arakawa Kirika acted as if nothing had happened, as if it were just a casual question.

"Hmm... there's no need to practice for now."

Ai-yin replied casually, without even having swallowed the tea and snacks in her mouth.

Arakawa Kirika felt extremely annoyed by Aine's performance.

He clearly stated so bluntly that he disliked her.

They actually have the audacity to come here and freeload.

This girl named Chihaya Aine is truly... an unprecedented existence.

However, Arakawa Kirika also noticed Aine's choice of words.

【temporary】?

Nagasaki Motoyo has already left the group, so why is it only temporary?

Does this mean they plan to continue the band?

Arakawa Kirika was a little annoyed, so she didn't bother to ask any more questions.

Instead, it was Aine who, seeing Arakawa Kirika's displeased expression, took the initiative to explain.

"Because... Su Shishi said she wanted to quit the band."

Arakawa Kirika, as the mastermind behind it all, was naturally aware of this, but she still found it very strange.

The odd thing, of course, is Aine's tone.

Why... could she speak so casually?

Could it be that I misjudged the situation?

Actually, they didn't have that deep feelings for Nagasaki Motoyo at all... so it didn't matter that she left the group.

Arakawa Kirika said she was a little confused about the current developments.

Then Arakawa Kirika asked again very casually.

"So, what are your plans next? Are you going to recruit new members?"

But Aine quickly shook her head and then reached for a small cake.

"Of course not. Su Shishi is indispensable, so the most urgent task right now is to bring Su Shishi back... That's why we've come to ask Wuhua for help..."

Ai Yin scratched her head shyly as she spoke.

But this adorable Xiangzi only made Arakawa Kirika feel a little disgusted.

Asking me for help? What a stupid idea that only a "dumb dog" could come up with.

After inwardly scoffing, Arakawa Kirika finally looked at Aine.

"Why should I necessarily help you?"

As she spoke, Arakawa Kirika glanced at the lamp sitting next to Aine.

This stupid dog thinks... wearing a light will soften its attitude? It's hilarious.

The lights flickered, avoiding Arakawa Kirika's gaze.

Last night, none of the band members practiced, so they spent the time discussing things.

After a brainstorming session, they all confirmed one fact.

That means Su Shi's departure from the team must be related to Arakawa Kirika.

Akari loves Kirika, and even knowing that Kirika Arakawa is sabotaging their band behind their backs, her feelings for her don't waver.

She's just a little... unsure how to face him right now.

After reaching her conclusion, Lena made an excuse that her grandmother was looking for her and then ran away, clearly having no intention of getting involved in the matter at all.

After all... Rakuna will always stand on Kirika's side, while her current... wavering stance is what's truly unsightly.

Thinking of this, Deng's mood plummeted again.

Aine was at a loss for words because she knew that Kirika disliked her, so anything she said would be useless.

So she touched the arm that wasn't touching the light with the back of her hand, a task they had agreed upon before they arrived.

The lamp nodded, knowing it was time for it to go on stage.

"I learned about Kirika's past from someone else... Kirika used to be the student council president of Tsukimori... right?"

Where others are...

Arakawa Kirika didn't bother to find out who this "other person" was for the time being. She squinted at the lamp, signaling her to continue.

"So... can Wuhua take us into the Moon Forest? We want to talk to Su Shi."

"No."

Arakawa Kirika answered very firmly.

Ai-yin and Deng exchanged a glance.

Neither of them showed any sign of discouragement, clearly having anticipated that Arakawa Kirika would say such a thing.

They only harbored a sliver of hope, which is why they came to the door. Seeing that it wouldn't work, they had no choice but to seek other methods.
