Service Club? Just like you guys, you want to step into the whirlpool of the band?

"The boss also said that once you and Lenai come back, she won't have to worry about this store anymore."

Shinji Rinrinko looked at Ichinose Asaba earnestly. At this moment, she was no longer Rinrinko, but Rinrinko's sister, giving him instructions from the perspective of a senior.

"This matter has been decided from the beginning, and for now, you are only given the position of acting store manager, Qianyu, it's just an acting position!"

Shinji Rinrinko deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of these two words.

"I'm still in charge of the store's affairs. I'm still far from being a real store manager, so even so, Qianyu, are you going to refuse?"

Was it decided from the beginning?

If he had not chosen to escape from the beginning, perhaps the ending would really be what his grandmother expected.

After listening to what Shinji Rinrinko said, Ichinose seemed to understand something.

He slowly raised his head, and the figures of Shinji Rinrinko and Kaname Rana were reflected in his eyes.

The words his grandmother said to him today came to his mind.

Everyone's expectations...concerns, these have never disappeared since the beginning.

""

Although he was unwilling to admit it, he seemed to understand at this moment that what had disappeared was only SPACE... To be precise, it was the shell of SPACE. The things inside it were still there.

RiNG brought them all together again. Even though he knew that RiNG was not SPACE, during this time here, he still felt the same warmth as before, exactly the same as when he was in SPACE.

Perhaps from the very beginning, the home he identified was not "SPACE", but SPACE. It was not just the name and address of a store, but the people inside, the SPACE created by him, Lenai, Rinrinko, his grandmother, and everyone else.

He didn't understand it the day SPACE closed, but today, until today, he truly realized it.

It turns out that as long as everyone is there, everywhere can be SPACE.

"I understand." After figuring everything out, Ichinose Asaba felt a sense of relief as he spoke these words, a faint smile playing on his lips. "Acting Store Manager, I'll do it."

"That's more reasonable, but don't forget your agreement with the boss. I don't know what you said, but I believe Qianyu will do it, right?"

Shinji Rinrinko nodded with satisfaction. Very good, it seems that her guidance was not in vain.

"Well...I'll try my best."

When mentioning this, the smile on Ichinose Asaba's face slowly froze, but she tried her best to maintain the smile on her face.

"Well, just do your best."

Shinji Rinrinko patted his shoulder.

Some things are better done step by step. Haven’t you already done the first step very well?

"It's getting late, let's clean up the store first and close it after Lenai finishes eating."

Ichinose Asaba breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time on her phone, and found that it was already half past nine and almost ten o'clock.

Even Fanxing's shop was closed at this time. If he didn't speed up and pack up, it would be a question whether he could get home by 12 o'clock.

"Yeah! You're already taking on someone else's identity so quickly! No, no, as the real store manager, I have to work harder!"

Upon hearing this, Shinji Rinrinko hurried to the bar, as if she was afraid of being squeezed out by the acting store manager Ichinose Asaba.

"How about a competition to see who's faster?"

After Ichinose Asaba came over, she suddenly said something.

"childish."

After hearing this, Ichinose Asaba looked at her expressionlessly and continued to wipe the water stains on the bar.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Shinji Rinrinko couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at?"

"It's just so funny. I didn't expect that Asaba, you could actually say such a thing seriously. How childish." Shinji Rinrinko gave him a look of feigned distress. "Who of us is the adult?"

"Both of us, since there's a youngest one here."

Asaba Ichinose threw the rag into the sink and glanced at Rakuna Kaname who was eating the last portion of matcha parfait.

Judging by the time, Rina will be able to finish eating by the time he and Shinji Rinrinko finish cleaning.

"Is this just a trick?"

“That’s the truth.”

"Don't you want to tell me where you work?"

When they were sorting out the materials together, Shinji Rinrinko asked curiously.

Having not seen each other for two years, she was quite curious about where Asaba Ichinose would work.

A coffee shop? A convenience store? Or a livehouse?

I always feel that the last one is more likely.

"Stars?"

"So it's called Fanxing, a very nice name."

Very artistic feeling.

"You didn't know? I thought Lenai told you last night."

Asaba Ichinose was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Rakuna could hide it from everyone.

"Runa has kept it a secret from even the boss, how could she possibly tell me?" Shinji Rinrinko smiled bitterly, then looked at him, "Let's not talk about that, I think Asaba, you should still remember that."

"what?"

Ichinose Asaba looked up in confusion, wondering how he would know without telling him.

"When you first found out the place you were working was called Fanxing, didn't you think of anything?"

"kirakiradokidoki?"

Ichinose Asaba said tentatively.

If this is really what Shinji Rinrinko wanted to say, then... he had indeed thought of it at the time.

"Yes, that's what Kasumi often says." Sure enough, Shinji Rinrinko smiled knowingly after hearing this. "When I heard the name Fanxing, I couldn't help but think of it."

"But actually, compared to Kirakiradokidoki, I feel that Kasumi's Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is more appropriate for the occasion."

"Hey~ I didn't expect Qianyu to still remember this!"

It’s been a long time since this happened, and Shinji Rinrinko didn’t expect that Ichinose Asaba could remember it so clearly.

ps: I’m hungry! Please give me some monthly tickets and recommendation tickets!!!

Chapter 38 That's his guitar.

"Ah...I'm quite impressed. It was a bit embarrassing when I first heard it, but when I think about it carefully, it seems like something she could do."

He was really embarrassed and felt like he was sitting on pins and needles when he was listening in the audience.

But thinking about it now, he still missed that song.

And I heard that when PoppinParty visited the Budokan some time ago, they actually sang this song on stage. I think it was just a clip?

He had seen such a video on the Internet.

How should I put it, this is very PoppinParty.

Meanwhile, Shinji Rinrinko also exclaimed, "Everyone at PoppinParty is so energetic! I just wonder what kind of band you two, Lenai and Asaba, will form in the future. Ah... I'm so excited!"

By then, RiNG will definitely be extremely lively.

Immersed in fantasy, Shinji Rinrinko didn't notice that Asaba Ichinose's expression changed slightly beside her.

"A single instrument with wings, a single wing, a single wing. / Just like that, a single wing."

It was quite scary to hear such a sentence out of the blue, and he almost spilled the coffee beans in his hand.

Ichinose Asaba stared at Shinji Rinrinko with a look that said, "Did you do this on purpose?"

"Ok?"

However, Shinji Rinrinko, who knew nothing, looked confused and did not think that she had said anything wrong.

Yes, she didn't know that Asaba Ichinose had formed a band before, and her experience was extremely miserable.

Ichinose Asaba sighed and said helplessly, "Let's talk about the stars."

He felt a little strange because his stress reaction just now was very weak.

Was it because he was with everyone? He didn't know.

"That's a bit off topic... So, I guess you got to know a lot of people in Fanxing Qianyu."

Although she didn't know why Ichinose Asaba reacted like this, Shinji Rinrinko immediately returned to the topic.

"There's a reliable store manager, but unsurprisingly, he's a tsundere."

"Hey, tsundere... a trait I haven't seen in real life. Are there any more?"

"Yes." Ichinose Asaba nodded, "There's a weird senior who likes to eat and drink for free and borrow money everywhere, and there's also a senior with a gentle personality, and..."

The alcoholic Hiroi Kikuri who comes from time to time, the hateful woman who vomited on him and refused to leave, as well as Pa-san who has a low presence but is mysterious on weekdays, and Goto Ichiri, the socially anxious junior who just joined recently.

In short, Asaba Ichinose said all of these things one by one.

"If I'm not mistaken, Fanxing is also a livehouse."

The materials were almost all sealed and placed in the cabinet. Shinji Rinrinko clapped her hands and stood up.

"Ah."

Asaba Ichinose nodded, and he also packed the coffee beans by grams.

"Although I haven't met them, but just from your description, I feel like you have a good relationship with them. That's great. Making more friends is definitely the right thing to do."

"Just an ordinary senior"

"Yu, you're lying."

Just as Ichinose Asaba was speaking, Kaname Rakuna, who had just finished her matcha parfait, suddenly came over with an empty cup.

In just a moment, she smelled the scent of lies in the air, and then the polygraph system was simultaneously launched.

"That's right, the expression and tone when you speak can't lie." Shinji Rinrinko smiled, "I see, Asaba, you must have never seen someone with tsundere attributes like me, so you want to give me a live performance, yeah, great!"

Seeing Ichinose Asaba looking like she didn't know what to say, Shinji Rinrinko immediately looked at Kaname Runa and said, "So, Runa, have you finished eating?"

"I want another drink."

Kaname Rana licked her lips with satisfaction and looked at Ichinose Asaba expectantly.

"no!"

"No."

The two people said in unison.

"You'll get a stomachache if you eat too much. Next time."

Two servings was already the limit, especially since it was late at night. He couldn't possibly make another serving for Lenai in case she got an upset stomach.

"Well"

Having received the promise, Kaname Rakuna had no choice but to nod.

"That's it for today. I'll leave Lena to you, Rinrinko, to take her back."

I looked at the time and found that it was getting late. I didn't want to rush to the end of the train or miss it, so Ichinose Asaba took the uniform from Kaname Rakuna.

"No problem, Acting Store Manager."

Shinji Rinrinko teased with a smile, turning off the lights on the second floor and walking to the door on the first floor with the two of them.
