Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Lenai simply stared wide-eyed at her transformation, her pupils even trembling slightly.

Because... the old Wuhua would never have done such a thing, even if it was her fault, she would never have admitted it.

At this moment, Arakawa Kirika was somewhat flustered by her concern, and her judgment was impaired to some extent due to her nervousness.

She thought that Lena's incredulous look meant that she felt her "blame-sharing" wasn't fair enough.

"Then... then I'll take 5%... is that okay?"

Arakawa Kirika never imagined that admitting a mistake would be such a difficult thing; she felt as if her skin was being roasted on fire.

This time, Lena also recovered from her initial shock.

Rakuna took the initiative and, after Arakawa Kirika let go of her, she hugged Arakawa Kirika tightly.

"cute……"

ha?

Arakawa Kirika was certain that the word she had just heard was indeed cute.

only……

Cute? Are you talking about me? You must be kidding me.

My initial judgment was indeed correct; cats are creatures that... just love to ride on their owners' heads.

We should... teach her a good lesson.

Arakawa Kirika thought to herself, but... what should she do?

I... can't think of any reason to bully Lena.

No... Before, she could just take action against whoever she wanted to bully...

But... it seems that at some point, she lost the ability to bully people for no reason.

Now she needs to find a reason that can convince herself before she can take action with peace of mind.

That's terrible...

Arakawa Kirika felt somewhat uneasy about this change in herself.

Just like how Deng stepped out of his comfort zone and began trying to resume communication with Xiangzi.

Arakawa Kirika also seemed quite uncomfortable with these new changes.

"Good boy...good boy..."

Rakuna seemed to sense the unease in Kirika's arms, so she took advantage of the situation and gently stroked Kirika's back. Then, she imitated the words her grandmother used to comfort her when she was a child and copied them onto Kirika.

What's going on...?

Arakawa Kirika felt a little annoyed. She was very resistant to Rakuna's anti-natural behavior and even wanted to push her away forcefully.

But... Arakawa Kirika noticed in the next instant that, given their current positions, if she dared to shake Rakuna off, the girl would most likely fall to the ground and might even hit the back of her head.

If it were before... she wouldn't have bothered thinking about such trivial things.

But for now... we can only put up with this cat's whims.

(PS: Don't worry about Kirika becoming the bottom! I won't give up my dominant position; for now, I'm focusing on the contrast between my personality and my character's cuteness.)

Volume 1: Chapter 147 A Broken Mirror Wants to Be Reunited

Shoko Toyokawa rested her hands on her knees, panting as she glanced around at her surroundings.

"So many people..."

Looking at the crowd in front of him, Xiangzi felt his own emotions stirring.

If some annoying person were there, I would definitely complain.

[A large crowd, like a pile of garbage, scattered like a cage, a wife who died, a father who was like a dumpling]

No, no, that's not right.

Xiangzi quickly shook his head, trying to erase the person's image from his mind.

She has more important things to do today, so she can't let that guy affect her mood.

Taking a step forward, Xiangzi carefully examined the street scene before him.

Everywhere was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, creating a festive atmosphere.

And that is indeed the case.

Today is the most important holiday of the entire summer.

They say summer is the color of fireworks.

The most important event of summer is naturally the fireworks display.

But this year, Xiangzi has a completely new understanding of the fireworks display.

Because it was her first time... to enjoy the festive atmosphere as an ordinary person.

So when she saw the countless small stalls set up on both sides of the street, she was immediately filled with curiosity.

But she can't jump the gun; she needs to find a partner to go with her first.

Today, Xiangzi specially tied her long hair into a side ponytail, and her light purple yukata made her stand out in the crowd.

Xiangzi opened her folding fan and gently fanned her face, but the manually created cool breeze was of little use, and she eventually closed the fan in frustration.

Xiangzi's series of actions all demonstrated how much she valued this meeting.

Her movements, in the eyes of passersby, also possessed a rather elegant charm.

Many people stopped to look at Xiangzi, wondering which rich young lady had the leisure to browse such a small stall.

I feel more and more attention is being focused on me.

Xiangzi quickened his pace.

I'm not standing here for others to admire...

Xiangzi secretly groaned.

Fortunately, she finally heard a familiar voice.

“Sakiko…over here.”

Hearing the sound, Xiangzi immediately saw the lamp, who was hesitating whether to wave or not.

It's no wonder it's called "Lantern"; even when it calls out to people, it seems to lack confidence.

However, the pink-haired girl next to the lamp was completely different; she was smiling and waving her arms vigorously at Xiangzi.

what……

When Xiangzi saw the pink figure, he felt a little helpless.

This discovery, while unexpected, was also quite reasonable.

No wonder Deng dared to invite me today; it turns out he was with someone else.

If I were to say I wasn't disappointed, I would definitely be a little disappointed, after all... Xiangzi had specially changed into a new yukata for the sake of the old friend, but Xiangzi also had a good impression of Aine, so she wouldn't blame Touko for bringing Aine along.

In the end, Xiangzi just shook his head with a wry smile, then walked towards the two of them.

"Thank you for coming to Zero+Dream Spirit Silk Spirit JiH》uIII7 Willow IX today."

Looking at the moonlight that once stood before him, the first thing the lamp said was to thank him.

But looking at the rather insecure lamp, Xiangzi only gave a faint smile.

Because that's how the other person looked when they first met.

The lamp in front of me perfectly overlaps with the shadow in my memory, and the template of happiness reappears at this moment.

This kid... he was so confident on stage, but he turned into this in front of me.

However, this is for the best.

Even though so much time has passed, in Xiangzi's heart, the lamp still seems like that little animal that needs his care.

"This is my first time... coming to a place like this with someone. I hope the lamp won't get bored."

Xiangzi said calmly.

"Of course not! I'm really happy that Xiangzi came."

Deng quickly responded and subconsciously grasped Xiangzi's hand, but then, as if suddenly realizing something, he quickly let go.

Hmm... Xiangzi frowned slightly.

She didn't resist the light's touch, but... watching the light suddenly approach and then suddenly recede, Xiangzi still felt a pang of sadness.

Even if the thorn stuck in your heart is pulled out, it will still leave a pit in the same place.

Filling in those potholes is clearly not something that can be done overnight.

Xiangzi wanted to reconcile with Deng, and she believed that Deng was also willing to reconcile with her.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be gathered here today.

"It's okay if you don't let go."

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment before speaking to comfort him.

"Um……"

Deng quickly responded, but... he clearly lacked the courage to reach out again.

Seeing that the atmosphere suddenly became awkward, it was time for Aine to step in.

She clenched her teeth, her face showing a sullen expression.

"Um... people are still talking about it here."

Aine's eyes kept sizing up the two people in front of her. She still felt a little resentful about being left out.

Am I really that invisible? How did these two suddenly enter a world of their own?

Aine felt a little resentful.

Upon hearing Ai Yin's voice, Deng seemed to wake from a dream and quickly turned around to look at Ai Yin, who had come with him.
