Aspiring to be a girl in a band

"Oh? So this is the benefit of experiencing the mortal world, my lovely Miss Xiangzi. You have a different kind of charm now that you've become more worldly compared to when you were in the Moon Forest."

Arakawa Kirika gently covered her cheek with her hand, her eyes full of smiles.

[Experiences in the Mortal World]...

Xiangzi bit his lip, recalling Arakawa Kirika's choice of words.

The trials and tribulations of life... does that refer to my year of working life?

...My mindset is indeed completely different from when I was in the Moon Forest. From this point of view, what this guy said...is not wrong.

Unable to refute, Xiangzi could only sigh again and then slowly speak once more.

"Idealists often despise the role of money, but the reality is... no matter how talented a person is, they will always be unable to move an inch without money. The saying 'a penny can bring down a hero' is not just a legend, but a reality that plays out all the time."

"This is what I learned in this trial of the mortal world. The weak me of the past is dead."

"Clap clap clap..."

Arakawa Kirika, sitting opposite Xiangzi, couldn't help but applaud repeatedly.

The white moonlight in the Moon Forest is certainly alluring.

But... now that Xiangzi has come down to earth and experienced the realities of life, his charm is in no way inferior to what it used to be.

Arakawa Kirika was once again convinced of this.

I really didn't misjudge him.

She really is...very beautiful.

After the applause, Arakawa Kirika stood up, took Shoko's hand, and pulled her outside.

"Wait...wait a minute."

Xiangzi wanted to stop Arakawa Kirika, but Arakawa Kirika had no intention of stopping at all.

"Seriously...where do you want to take me?!"

Xiangzi quickly asked again.

This time, Arakawa Kirika finally slowed down.

She looked into Xiangzi's eyes.

"Of course, I'll go home."

ha?

Upon hearing the word "go home," Xiangzi instinctively felt something was wrong, and his body even trembled for a moment.

At this moment, the flame of desire in Arakawa Kirika's eyes could no longer be concealed, and it even seemed poised to erupt.

“I just asked, and your father will be working all night tonight, so... you shouldn’t come home today.”

This is a lie.

This is probably the first time Arakawa Kirika has deliberately lied for ulterior motives.

The truth is, she never asked.

But that doesn't matter. Even if Xiangzi's father doesn't work overtime today, the timeline of "not working overtime" will be erased the moment she says those words.

So... from this moment on, Xiang's father was destined not to be able to go home today.

Xiangzi's face was so red it looked like it could drip water.

The emotion that had just been ignited vanished without a trace in that instant.

That bastard, why is he always thinking about... this kind of thing?

But... Xiangzi then sighed again.

It's not the first time anyway, so whatever.

She followed behind Arakawa Kirika, half-heartedly.

Arakawa Kirika had already arranged for a vehicle to pick them up.

Before opening the car door, Arakawa Kirika turned around and asked Shoko a question.

"By the way... do you still hate me now?"

Arakawa Kirika's tone was calm, and her face showed no emotion.

"Of course I hate it... Isn't it... obvious?"

Xiangzi's eyes were full of evasiveness.

"I can rest assured that."

Arakawa Kirika said with a smile, and then pulled Shoko into the car.

Volume 1: Chapter 169 The White Stupid Tune Another Eight? Master Liuqi V' II〡 Things

Looking at the noisy crowd around her, Arakawa Kirika could only frown and let out a dissatisfied "humph".

Today is the last day of the semester, which explains why the students in the class are so excited, because after this class, they will have a holiday.

In Japan, a school year consists of three semesters, which means that each holiday is not very long, but that is enough to excite students. After all... what student wouldn't look forward to a holiday?

But if I had to point it out, there is one.

For Arakawa Kirika, whether it's a holiday or not makes absolutely no difference. She does whatever she wants anyway, so she can't understand why these people are so happy just because it's a holiday.

Fortunately, no one would know about her "why not eat meat porridge" mentality.

……

"Tomorrow...it's summer vacation."

The girl next to her nervously struck up a conversation with Arakawa Kirika. Her expression clearly showed that she had something on her mind, so much so that she was almost back to the timid look she had when they first met.

Arakawa Kirika realized that Touka actually had something else to say, so she directly asked him.

"Well, and then?"

……

The lamp's eyes darted around, clearly showing it was shy.

"Um...we...the members of mygo are planning to continue activities during the holidays, so...would Kirika be able to come and watch the next live performance?"

Looking at the now somewhat timid and hesitant Akari, Arakawa Kirika felt something was off. She still preferred... the Akari who dared to confess to her back then, full of courage.

But... that explosive state doesn't seem to be able to become permanent.

Well... compared to the beginning, it's already a lot of progress.

Arakawa Kirika thought to herself.

"Then calm down first, and then invite me again. If you can finish your sentence in one breath, I'll come."

Arakawa Kirika rested her chin on her hand, waiting with great interest for the light's reaction.

Eh?

Wu Hua...can I finish saying the invitation in one go?

After a moment of stunned silence, Deng quickly realized that Wu Lingsan, the father of Wo Lin, had come over, and then took two deep breaths.

This... isn't a very difficult challenge; as long as you put your mind to it, you can do it.

“mygo will be holding a live show in two weeks. I’ve already made a reservation with Ms. Rinrinko, so I hope Kirika can come and watch.”

...After saying all that in one breath, Deng's face turned a little purple. It seemed he was running out of breath.

That's really strange. As the lead singer of the band Mygo, all he did was invite Arakawa Kirika to a concert, and he used up all his breath.

Seeing the slightly embarrassed expression on the lamp's face, Arakawa Kirika did not choose to continue teasing her, but simply agreed.

"Yes, I will come. Do you need me to bring Xiangzi this time?"

Arakawa Kirika asked with a smile.

"No...no need, I've already invited Xiangzi."

Deng blushed and waved his hand.

Oh?

The lantern's answer surprised Arakawa Kirika a little; it seemed... the two of them had already rekindled their intimacy.

After Arakawa Kirika agreed, she could clearly feel that Akari's mood immediately became much happier.

Even the steps she took as she turned to leave seemed much lighter.

"By the way... Aine isn't with Akari today. Is she in a hurry to go home because it's a holiday?"

Arakawa Kirika watched the lights gradually disappear at the classroom door, then muttered to herself.

Forget it, why should I think about that idiot?

Arakawa Kirika quickly snapped out of her thoughts. After most of the students had left, she slowly got up and went downstairs.

After all... she didn't want to experience being crammed in with people.

Arakawa Kirika reached the entrance of the teaching building, took out her outdoor shoes from her shoe cabinet, and subconsciously looked around, trying to find Shoko's figure.

pity.

Looking at the empty surroundings, Arakawa Kirika let out a sigh.

If Xiangzi were there, she would have asked him to help her put on her shoes again.

For some reason, she's been increasingly fond of ordering Xiangzi around lately... Although she's done quite a lot of things before, now it seems like she's gone even further.

She wished Xiangzi could stay by her side 24 hours a day.

After putting on her shoes herself, Arakawa Kirika proved that she was not incapable of taking care of herself.

Just as she was about to leave, she discovered that... the person she had been thinking about was now standing right in front of her.

Xiangzi stood in front of the bulletin board, clenching his fists, his face showing a look of resentment.

Arakawa Kirika quickened her pace and arrived at Xiangzi's side in just a few seconds.

Then she understood why Xiangzi had such a resentful expression.
