Aspiring to be a girl in a band

At the firm, although Hatsuka was always very polite to people, she always seemed to maintain a certain distance from them.

Unexpectedly... he seemed like a completely different person in front of this blue-haired child.

Looking at Chu Hua's almost seductive eyes, even the manager couldn't help but shake her head.

I never expected... Chu Hua would have this side to her.

Poor Miss Mana... she lost quite badly.

"Um... I'm sorry, Chuhua, it's so late and you've gone to all this trouble to come here."

Xiangzi first gave Chuhua an apologetic look, then opened the iron gate for her.

Chu Hua naturally walked to Xiangzi's side immediately, but as if considering something, she unconsciously stood a little further away.

Gee...

The agent watched this scene with awe and wonder.

This was the first time she had ever seen Chu Hua look so humble.

"Hey? Aren't you coming in?"

Xiangzi looked at the agent standing next to Chuhua and asked.

Because she realized that the agent didn't seem to have any intention of coming in.

"Huh?"

Chu Hua turned around in surprise, but only saw her manager waving at her with her phone in hand.

"Hmm... I just received information that the young lady hates meeting with unrelated people, so I won't go in. I'll just stay outside and cheer you on, Chu Hua... I'll keep waiting, after all, I still need to take you home later."

Is that so...?

Considering Arakawa Kirika's personality, which indeed seemed like the kind of person who would do such a thing, Hatsuka believed her manager's explanation.

After saying goodbye to the agent, Chu Hua followed Chu Hua towards the house.

The two people walking side by side each had their own tension.

Chu Hua's nervousness was quite simple; her heart was just racing because Xiangzi was by her side.

When talking to Arakawa Kirika herself, she said she wasn't actually that afraid.

In Hatsuka's mind, Arakawa Kirika is probably a very willful girl, but not a bad one. In fact, this "willfulness" can be a very endearing trait in some people's eyes.

Of course, this is because Hatsuka has never seen Arakawa Kirika's coldest side, which is why she has such a fantasy.

As for Xiangzi... he was nervous, afraid that his identity would be exposed.

You should know that she is now nominally Arakawa Kirika's maid.

This is something that... at least no one has discovered yet.

Although Arakawa Kirika always treated her like a maid, she never actually forced her to wear a maid outfit.

Therefore, in public, she can easily pretend to be an equal to Arakawa Kirika.

But she has no choice but to be nervous now.

Because she always presented a strong image to Chu Hua, if... Chu Hua found out that she had become someone else's maid, her image would collapse.

Hopefully, that person won't go too far.

Xiangzi could only sigh softly.

"Um, excuse me...?"

As soon as Chu Hua entered the room, her gaze was fixed on the figure curled up on the sofa, who was also staring at her with great interest.

"Oh, it's been a long time, Chu Hua."

Arakawa Kirika lazily straightened up and then gently massaged her eye sockets.

Ok?

Upon hearing Arakawa Kirika's words, Shoko immediately frowned.

haven't seen you for a long time……

That bastard actually... knows Chu Hua?

Sure enough, her motives weren't so simple.

Xiangzi looked at Arakawa Kirika with a hint of wariness in his eyes, and seemed to be protecting Chuhua.

But Chu Hua simply responded calmly to Arakawa Kirika's greeting, and then looked around at the surrounding environment.

Although this wasn't her first time here, the lobby now looked completely different from when she first visited...

Thinking of this, Chu Hua subconsciously tiptoed and took a couple of sniffs of the air beside her.

The air smelled a little more like... Xiangzi's scent.

……

"Please sit down first."

At Arakawa Kirika's invitation, Shoko pulled Chuka down to sit.

Xiangzi seemed very worried that Arakawa Kirika would bully Hatsuka, so he kept holding Hatsuka's hand tightly and made Hatsuka sit close to him so that he could stay as far away from that guy as possible.

cut.

Arakawa Kirika frowned as she looked at Shoko's protective posture, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and felt a little annoyed.

"So... what exactly is the reason that Ms. Arakawa invited me here today?"

Although I still want to enjoy Xiangzi's care for as long as possible.

But Chu Hua did not forget the important matter.

The moment she finished speaking, Chu Hua saw Arakawa Kirika looking at her with a... very subtle look.

Did I... say something wrong?

Chu Hua suddenly began to doubt herself.

"Why are you being so distant? Chu Hua, don't you want to be friends with me?"

Arakawa Kirika asked, squinting her eyes.

friend……

Upon hearing those words, Chu Hua felt a shiver run through her entire body.

From her own perspective, she wasn't against getting close to Arakawa Kirika, after all... getting closer to this Miss Arakawa meant getting closer to Shoko.

Moreover... Chu Hua also really wanted to figure out what kind of relationship this Miss Arakawa had with her Xiangzi.

However, seeing Arakawa Kirika's amused expression, Chu Hua suddenly became insecure.

She just wondered if someone like Arakawa Kirika could really become friends with others.

She didn't know, and she was very uneasy.

But she was willing to try in order to get closer to Xiangzi.

So she quickly responded.

"No...nothing like that. I'm honored that Miss Huang...Mist Flower thinks so highly of me."

"Let's drop the honorifics for now. It's really strange for friends to talk like that, isn't it?"

Arakawa Kirika continued with a smile.

“Okay…I understand, Mist Flower.”

Under the pressure from Arakawa Kirika, Hatsuka could only force herself to stand up straight, barely managing not to be overwhelmed by the other's aura.

"Ah, very good."

Arakawa Kirika clasped her hands together as if quite satisfied, then waved to Hatsuka.

"Then come over here first, let me take a good look at you."

……

How to do.

Chu Hua seemed a little hesitant.

Should I... go there?

Unable to make up her mind, she subconsciously looked at Xiangzi beside her.

Chu Hua saw Xiangzi gently shake his head at her, then look at Arakawa Kirika...

This was the first time Chu Hua had ever seen such a pleading look in Xiangzi's eyes.

Was Xiangzi trying to protect herself?

An emotion called "being moved" gradually filled her heart.

Chu Hua had her doubts about her relationship with Xiangzi.

Am I really not a good friend of Xiangzi at all?

For a while, she had this suspicion.

After all... if they were truly good friends, why wouldn't Xiangzi contact her for so long?

This forced her to rely on four lines of chat history to get through each cold night.

Chu Hua had considered contacting Xiangzi, but... the difference in their social status always made her hesitate.

She was just an ordinary islander, while Xiangzi was a young lady from a prestigious family. Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance that she would anger Xiangzi, she really didn't dare to bother him rashly.

But now... in this instant, all doubts have been dispelled.

Because she was being protected by Xiangzi.

Such direct action is more direct than any proof.

But... before I could even be happy for a few seconds, I saw it again.
