Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Arakawa Kirika's tone also carried a hint of pride.

After all, she is a sponsor of this event, and since she chose to sponsor it, the fireworks display at this event must be far larger than in previous years.

Silence fell between the two again until the fireworks display was nearing its end. Mutsu then seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly got off Arakawa Kirika.

She had been holding Arakawa Kirika down for at least an hour.

Mutsu apologized repeatedly while carefully observing Arakawa Kirika's expression.

However, Arakawa Kirika's patience was clearly much greater than usual today, so even though she was feeling a bit uncomfortable being suppressed by Mutsu, she didn't utter a single complaint.

After all... what she did to Mu was countless times worse than this.

"pity."

Arakawa Kirika got up and touched her back. She could clearly feel that the back of her yukata was covered in stains.

Given her capricious nature, even if this yukata could be washed back to its original condition, she would never wear it a second time. But she really liked this outfit because she designed the pattern herself.

That's why... she said it was a pity.

"Sorry……"

Mutsu was well aware of Arakawa Kirika's thoughts, so he apologized again, feeling guilty.

"It's none of your business."

Arakawa Kirika glanced at Mutsu calmly.

Her intention was simply to comfort Mu and not to make Mu feel guilty.

But... these words took on an ambiguous meaning when they reached Mu's ears.

Mu gritted her teeth.

Because... to her, that sentence meant—[You have no right to interfere in my affairs].

Although it's only a difference of a few words, the meanings are completely different.

This timid girl, I don't know when, turned into this stubborn and indecisive person.

After a moment of silence, Mu could no longer suppress her resentment, so she finally spoke the words she had kept buried for so long.

"Mist Flower, do you... no longer like me?"

This surprised Arakawa Kirika.

She never imagined that Mu would ask that question.

...But since Mu had already asked the question, she had no choice but to take it seriously.

How should I reply?

Is it the truth or a lie?

It wasn't until she started thinking that Arakawa Kirika realized she found it difficult to come up with any answer.

But I have to speak up quickly, otherwise this idiot in front of me will start getting stuck on this again.

Seeing Mutsu's expression gradually turn sorrowful, Arakawa Kirika felt very irritated.

Is it because I've been spending too much time with that pink idiot?

I never imagined... that stupidity could be contagious.

In her anxiety, Arakawa Kirika suddenly remembered... the name of the band called "Light".

MYGO……

That is, being lost, confused...

She had to admit that she was now... in the same situation.

Arakawa Kirika sighed, then looked at Mutsu.

Faced with those resolute eyes, she simply couldn't lie.

So she spoke her true feelings.

"I do not know."

This is how she answered.

Mu was taken aback.

Arakawa Kirika's answer, rather than a definite reply, left the girl somewhat bewildered.

"You heard me right, I just don't know."

Arakawa Kirika repeated her answer, and even added something else.

"I don't know how to look back on the past, I don't know how to face the future, I don't know how to face you, and I don't know what kind of performance I should put on... So, stop bothering me with these kinds of questions!"

Mu was quite unexpected.

This was the first time she had ever seen Arakawa Kirika exhibit such a somewhat hysterical attitude.

She could tell that Wuhua was truly confused, and her words just now must have represented Wuhua's true feelings.

Mu's mood immediately improved a little.

Because compared to explicit rejection or aversion, this kind of confusion is obviously much better.

Moreover... Mu will not be satisfied with the status quo.

Since Wuhua is lost in confusion, then... I must help Wuhua out of the fog.

She needs to...find a way to get Wuhua to express her love verbally.

Volume 1: Taking a Day Off

As the title says, I've already written this today. I'll try to add the remaining four chapters tomorrow. Sorry.

Volume 1: Chapter 155 Wagging its Tail and Begging

I'm so annoying.

Arakawa Kirika glanced back with a displeased expression.

She had noticed the creature that had been following her for more than ten minutes.

I thought I could just ignore it, but the thing behind me kept getting closer and closer.

Today, she only had the sudden idea not to have someone drive her, but she was immediately entangled with this annoying thing.

As expected of a lowly creature, it couldn't even perceive its own obvious disgust and shamelessly approached.

Arakawa Kirika kept her head down.

Watching the pure white puppy excitedly crawl to my legs, I felt it was extremely offensive.

The dog didn't have a collar, so Arakawa Kirika subconsciously categorized it as a stray dog.

But the clean, white fur made Arakawa Kirika begin to question her own judgment.

If it were a stray dog, why would it be so clean?

She thought to herself.

The reason she allowed the puppy to approach was because it wasn't dirty.

Otherwise, Arakawa Kirika would have kicked it away immediately.

But Arakawa Kirika didn't feel happy to be approached by such a pitiful and cute little animal.

From any perspective, she is a complete cat lover.

What I hate most are dogs... animals that have no self-awareness and yet like to come over with excessive enthusiasm.

He looks exactly like a certain guy.

Seeing that the puppy was lying motionless on her shoes, Arakawa Kirika quickly pulled her foot back.

The puppy, having lost its support, fell flat on its face.

But it quickly moved its limbs and stood up again, then looked pitifully at Arakawa Kirika.

What are they doing?

Arakawa Kirika frowned; she simply couldn't understand dogs.

What's so cute about this silly look of you with your mouth open, tongue sticking out, and panting? Do you think I'll pity you just because you wag your tail at me?

It's ridiculous.

In the end... why do you have to follow me? There are so many people on this road.

Besides... I don't have anything on me to feed you.

In short, Arakawa Kirika ignored the puppy and her contact with the little creature was just a minor incident on her way to school.

How could a mere stray dog ​​possibly leave an impression on her?

……

"Good morning……"

After sitting down in my seat, the first thing I heard was a greeting from the lamp.

Arakawa Kirika looked at the light, then nodded, and then her gaze was unconsciously drawn to the pink guy in the back seat.

Is this... rushing to finish homework?

Arakawa Kirika tilted her head in confusion as she watched Aine's frantic writing.

This is truly a rare sight.

"Aine said she fell asleep while watching the live stream yesterday..."

Seeing Arakawa Kirika staring at Aine with great interest, Akari quickly offered an explanation.

"Is that so?"

Arakawa Kirika responded to Akari's comment, then stood up from her seat and slowly walked around to Aine's back.

At this moment, Aine was clearly focused on her homework, so she didn't notice that Arakawa Kirika was already standing behind her.

Seeing this, Deng's expression became a little worried.
