Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Sigh... In the end, Lixi could only let out a sigh of disappointment.

The other one to make the "ha" sound was Mu Tou.

She clenched her hands into a fist.

She never expected that this seemingly timid girl would dare to confess her feelings to Wuhua right in front of her.

Okay... now I know where the "fish-stealing cat" comes from.

Mu thought to himself, feeling sullen.

"Hmph..." Even Xiao Le Nai put down her matcha parfait, looking displeased.

But Deng remained completely oblivious to the atmosphere that was gradually turning into a chaotic mess, and continued speaking.

"I really... really like Wuhua, so... Wuhua, please don't go."

The lamp's gaze was almost blurred, as if it wanted to stick directly to Arakawa Kirika's back.

But Arakawa Kirika mischievously turned her head, intending to continue teasing the girl.

"Really? I find it hard to believe."

Arakawa Kirika's expression was calm, or rather indifferent, which made Akari's pace even more hurried.

She quickly walked up to Arakawa Kirika and then guided Arakawa Kirika's hand to her chest.

"I... like Wuhua. If I'm lying, Wuhua can kill me."

………………

So heavy...

So heavy...

So heavy...too heavy!!

A brief silence fell over the lounge. After Deng spoke, almost everyone wore an expression of "unable to bear to look."

Even Arakawa Kirika herself was stunned.

Well, that's great. I only meant to tease the other person, but they ended up throwing down a royal flush.

At that moment, it was Arakawa Kirika who awkwardly scratched her face, looking...very shy.

(PS: Okay, as the story gradually approaches its end, I believe the author's condition is getting worse! So I announce that I will finish the story within the next 5 words, which is 25 chapters!!)

Volume 1: Chapter 230 Are we really that bad?

Arakawa Kirika fell into a brief silence, and seeing Kirika's reaction, Akari clearly wanted to say something more, which startled Arakawa Kirika so much that she quickly grabbed Akari's shoulder.

"Okay... I believe in Deng, you... calm down first."

"Ah."

Deng blinked blankly, not understanding why Wu Hua's breathing had suddenly become more rapid, but since it was Wu Hua who said it, she immediately regained her composure.

It sucks.

Arakawa Kirika thought with a hint of resentment, "I shouldn't have teased the light."

Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for a while, this kid's "aggression" has increased even more. It seems that a straight shot is indeed the best form of offense.

This would likely further diminish his authority in Xiangzi's eyes.

While she was lost in thought, Xiangzi had somehow appeared in front of her.

Xiangzi's expression was quite interesting. She really wanted to continue observing Arakawa Kirika's awkward situation for a while longer, since it was a rare sight, but... for some reason, she still felt a desire to protect her.

In short, Xiangzi shielded Arakawa Kirika behind him and said to Akari in a somewhat awkward tone.

"Well... we'll head out now. You'll be going on stage soon, so we won't bother you any longer. Take a good rest."

Without a doubt, Xiangzi's actions were to help Arakawa Kirika out of her predicament.

After Xiangzi finished speaking, he prepared to call his team members to leave, but...

"Wait a moment!"

The lamp quickly reached out and grabbed Xiangzi's wrist.

"I want to... talk to Xiangzi a little more... is that not allowed?"

When Xiangzi turned around, he saw those hopeful eyes.

Xiangzi could only sigh inwardly; how could she possibly refuse?

It's all this guy's fault... Xiangzi thought, and glared at Arakawa Kirika again.

……

This long-awaited conversation also brought Xiangzi back a long-lost sense of peace.

She felt as if she had returned to that carefree summer.

In this relaxed atmosphere, Xiangzi did something that made her feel a little embarrassed and regretful.

Somehow, during the conversation, she ended up telling Akari about how she had formed AVE Mujika and was planning to debut in the mainstream.

Of course, the others present weren't deaf either; Xiangzi telling Deng was equivalent to telling everyone.

……not good.

Xiangzi quickly covered his mouth, cursing himself for being so careless.

As soon as she said these words, not only Arakawa Kirika, but also her teammates and everyone in Mygo began to look at her with strange, questioning eyes.

“Saki…?”

Mu Tou's face was full of doubt. "Keep it a secret from the former band members" was Xiangzi's own policy. How come he has now surrendered and revealed everything?

Xiangzi himself blushed deeply, burying his hands between his knees, not daring to look up at all.

"Wait, wait... there's too much information here, let me catch my breath..."

Li hope, with one hand on her forehead and a look of shock on her face, began to sort out her thoughts.

"You...you didn't leave the group because you wanted to debut in the mainstream...and thought we were too bad, did you?"

Lixi's expression became somewhat subtle; she felt she had discovered the crux of the problem.

"No...no, I didn't!"

Xiangzi immediately blushed and retorted.

"The decision to debut in the mainstream was made later. The reason for leaving Crychic... was actually for other reasons... Of course, that was mainly my problem. Anyway... I absolutely did not mean to look down on anyone."

Seeing Xiangzi's serious attitude, Lixi became skeptical, but she still continued to ask.

"Hmm... So what exactly is the problem? It's been a year, and you still can't explain it to us clearly?"

Under Li hope's questioning, Xiangzi was speechless for a moment and fell into thought.

Should we tell everyone the whole truth?

She hesitated.

Is it really that hard to say that because my family has fallen on hard times, I can no longer leisurely spend time with everyone in a band?

Xiangzi asked herself questions, but in the end she still didn't want to tell the whole story.

Even if it's just to protect that tiny bit of self-esteem... Xiangzi sighed.

As expected, she still didn't want to tell everyone at mygo about her family's decline.

But that doesn't stop her from wanting to reconcile with everyone.

But it would be too strange if she didn't speak up, wouldn't it? At this moment... she had to hope that a "hero" would appear to lend her a hand.

……

"Yes, I did it all."

Arakawa Kirika, who was standing to the side, suddenly said with a mischievous grin.

Arakawa Kirika quite enjoyed the fact that everyone's eyes were on her.

"I forced Xiangzi to quit Crychic, just like I forced Su Shi to quit Mygo back then. The purpose was simple, as you know, I love seeing other people's sad faces..."

Arakawa Kirika's explanation caused the scene to fall silent once again.

"Mist Flower... is lying."

"Illumination said with certainty, her eyes carrying a hint of reproach, as if blaming Arakawa Kirika for taking the blame upon herself."

And Lixi was clearly aware of this as well.

She said it in an annoyed tone.

"What does this have to do with you... You and Xiangzi weren't even close back then, you probably hadn't even exchanged a few words."

Li hope remembered very clearly that during the C group era, although Arakawa Kirika would sometimes come to the practice room with Mutsu, her relationship with Shoko was obviously completely indifferent. At least at that time, Shoko didn't want to pay any attention to Arakawa Kirika.

Seeing that her words had been exposed, Arakawa Kirika didn't say much, and simply spread her hands casually.

"Okay, okay... I didn't expect Taki-chan to become so smart after not seeing her for a while."

Arakawa Kirika squinted, her tone quite sarcastic.

"what?"

When Riki heard the word "taki" from Arakawa Kirika's mouth, he was so frightened that he immediately hugged his arms and shrank back half a meter, as if goosebumps were rising all over his body.

"It seems like we're not at the point where we can address each other by name... Also, what does the second half of that sentence mean? Are you saying I used to be stupid?!"

Arakawa Kirika put on an innocent look and then blinked blankly.

"Isn't this an obvious fact?"

Lixi clenched her fists immediately; she absolutely refused to accept the assessment that she was stupid.

But if she were to actually go up and have a proper discussion with Arakawa Kirika, she simply didn't have the courage, and in the end, she could only selectively ignore what Arakawa Kirika said.

"Hmph... I can't be bothered to talk to you..."

Li hope immediately turned his head away from Arakawa Kirika, but at that moment, he met Hai Ling's eyes.

...Lixi's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
