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

Perhaps because Toyokawa Shoko hid it very well, Chihaya Aine did not notice her abnormality at this moment, but just continued to invite her at her own pace.

But the next second...

"No need... I'm your father..."

Toyokawa Shoko decisively rejected her request without any hesitation.

“Do you already have a band?”

Without any surprise, Chihaya Aine felt a little disappointed when she heard this answer, but she did not give up and decided to try again. At least she knew the reason why the other party refused, so she could find a reason to comfort herself.

"No, please don't bring up this topic again, Chihaya-san."

However, when Shoko Toyokawa heard this, she shook her head, as if she was unwilling to say anything more about this matter.

P.S.: Thinking about the plot that will appear later, I can't help but get excited! Also, I'm begging for some monthly tickets and blades from everyone here! Love you guys!

"Is it still not working? It's really hard to form a band."

After being repeatedly ignored and having her request to form a band rejected, Chihaya Aine walked out of the band club door a little discouraged.

In this way, she wandered aimlessly on campus, and finally walked to the door of the Department of Astronomy without realizing it.

She had just transferred to this school a few days ago, and there were only a few places on the entire campus where she could move around.

The door of the astronomy department's activity room was open. From her perspective, she could see photos of the starry sky and several band posters hanging on the wall.

Because she was running here yesterday, she didn't have time to observe carefully, but now it seems that the band... is really everywhere

This made Chihaya Aine sigh for a moment, and she wondered when she would be able to have her own band and achieve some success.

"Ah...Chihaya-san."

Just as she was fantasizing, a little head slowly popped out from the door of the astronomy department. It was Gao Songdeng who was about to close the door but accidentally discovered her.

Takamatsu Deng's face was full of confusion, and he had no idea why Chihaya Aine appeared here.

Could it be because of what happened yesterday?

"It's Takamatsu-san. Why haven't you come home yet so late?"

On the other hand, Chihaya Aine didn't think too much when she saw Takamatsu Touma. She just waved and greeted him casually, and walked in after Takamatsu Touma slightly moved aside.

"No...no."

Takamatsu Deng's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. Although her expression looked a little unnatural, she actually did not show any resistance to Chihaya Aine's arrival.

The reason she was nervous was simply that she suddenly remembered what happened last night and felt a little embarrassed.

"These are...ah, these are the stones you picked up the other day, Takamatsu-san."

At the same time, Chihaya Aine, who had just entered the room, saw the stones on the floor of the activity room.

These stones are of different colors and shapes and are neatly placed on the floor.

"Um... I'm packing them up now."

After hearing Chihaya Aine's voice, Takamatsu Deng, who caught the keyword stone, instantly broke free from his memories and walked over to explain.

Most of the stones here were picked up by her at school a few days ago. Since they had been left in the astronomy department, she thought of packing them into a box and taking them home today.

The reason why she ran into Chihaya Aine standing at the door just now was because she wanted to get up and take the box placed by the window.

"If it's convenient, can I take a look?"

Seeing Takamatsu Deng coming over, Chihaya Aine also squatted down. She was somewhat interested in the star-shaped stones on the ground.

"certainly..."

Gao Songdeng was a little surprised to see that there was someone who liked stones as much as she did, so she naturally did not refuse.

"The shape of this stone is a bit like a star. It's so beautiful!"

Chihaya Aine said, pointing to the stone that had been put into the box.

Because the shape of the stone resembled a five-pointed star, it naturally caught her attention. Otherwise, she would not care about things like stones at all.

"Ah... I found this in the park when I got home from school two days ago." Takamatsu Deng squatted down and took out the stone that looked like a five-pointed star from the box. While she was talking about how she found it, she handed the stone to Chihaya Aine, "If you like it... here..."

Although he likes collecting these strange-shaped stones, Gao Songdeng gave them away without any hesitation or heartache.

"Eh? But Takamatsu-san worked so hard to find this, right? Is it really okay to just give it to me?"

From the description just now, we know that when Takamatsu Deng was picking up the stone, he was accidentally tripped by a branch and fell on the grass. This experience made Chihaya Aine feel a little reluctant to accept it.

She really couldn't do something like stealing someone's love.

"It's okay... I have more stones of this shape here."

But Gao Songdeng still insisted on extending the hand holding the stone forward, and after looking at her, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, "Also... I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."

She still had no idea why Chihaya Aine came here, so she naturally thought that Chihaya Aine had not yet let go of what happened yesterday.

Is Takamatsu-san being a little too sensitive? We've already talked about what happened yesterday.

Thinking that her sudden visit might have been misunderstood, Chihaya Aine accepted the stone from her and further explained, "Let's just let what happened yesterday go. After all, Takamatsu-san already apologized."

"but"

"I can accept this star-shaped stone, but only if you don't tell me about what happened yesterday!"

Chihaya Aine took the stone in her hand and said in a serious tone, as if she would return it if Takamatsu Touma disagreed.

"Oh well."

There was no choice but for Gao Songdeng to nod and agree.

"call"

Seeing this, Chihaya Aine finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to sit on the sofa.

"This is, Roselia?"

There was a rolled-up poster on her right. Out of curiosity, she picked it up and spread it flat on the sofa, then read out the English name on it in a clumsy manner.

This is a schedule of the band's performances. It clearly states May 4th, in Shibuya, but that was last year.

It seems to echo the poster on the wall, after all, the name Roselia is also written on it.

"The previous minister seemed to like it very much."

At this time, Takamatsu Deng, who noticed Chihaya Aine's gaze, explained in a low voice and casually took out the diary of the astronomy club behind him and handed it to her.

"The previous president? Oh, so Takamatsu-san isn't the president of the Astronomy Club?"

Chihaya Aine flipped through it briefly and found that it contained some stargazing records and some words left by the previous club leader to the current members.

Although she could understand it, she still had some difficulty understanding the pronunciation habits like "噜".

"It seems like the Astronomy Club is full of strange people, or it seems like they easily attract people with unique personalities."

For a moment, she couldn't help but think of Takamatsu Deng, who had a similarly special personality. Although they had not been together for a long time, she could still sense that Takamatsu Deng was actually an extremely sensitive and somewhat pessimistic girl.

"I'm the only one in the astronomy club right now. Chihaya-san, do you want to join?"

As if to verify her words, the people in the Astronomy Department were a little bit unbelievable. At this time, Gao Songdeng suddenly looked at her excitedly, as if he had thought of something. He was clearly still thinking about what shape the stars were in the last second.

"Eh?"

This led to Chihaya Aine being completely unable to react.

Takamatsu Deng ignored her doubts and continued to explain, "Although the club won't be disbanded as long as you submit your activity reports properly, I would be very happy if you were willing to join!"

""

To be honest, Chihaya Aine had no idea that Takamatsu Touma would say such a thing, and her tone didn't sound like she was joking.

If she refused at this time, given his sensitive personality, he might become depressed again, right?

That kind of atmosphere...she really couldn't handle it.

So should she agree to it? If she agreed, there would be some benefits, such as being able to get closer to Takamatsu more often and take this opportunity to build a good relationship with her.

In this way, when I invite him to form a band in the future... I shouldn't be rejected, right?

Moreover, if there are only two of them in the Astronomy Department, it won't be particularly difficult for them to get along with each other. Maybe they can even get the position of minister or deputy minister.

Hmm...if you think about it this way, there are still many benefits.

After carefully considering the pros and cons, Chihaya Aine already had an answer in her mind, so she looked at Takamatsu Deng with a smile and nodded, "Okay."

"Really!"

Takamatsu Deng's reaction was even greater than hers. After hearing this unexpected answer, a smile that had not appeared for a long time suddenly bloomed on her face.

"Hmm... Anyway, please take good care of me from now on, Takamatsu-san."

Seeing this smile, Chihaya Aine was stunned for two seconds, and then slowly stretched forward her right hand.

"it is good!"

Gao Songdeng excitedly shook it with both hands.

However, at this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew outside the window, causing the thick cloth of the curtain to overturn Gao Songdeng's schoolbag, which had just been packed on the table. It fell heavily to the ground, and all the textbooks inside were thrown out.

"Takamatsu-san, are you okay?"

Chihaya Aine was also unable to open her eyes due to the strong wind. Her long pink hair was flying and constantly whipping her face.

When the wind died down, she brushed her hair aside, quickly stood up and went forward to close the window.

"fine..."

At this time, Gao Songdeng behind her was still wiping her tears. Because her hair was a little short, it accidentally pricked her eyes when the wind blew.

"It feels like it's going to rain in this weather."

Large dark clouds have formed in the sky, and the sky is getting darker at a speed visible to the naked eye. After seeing this, Chihaya Aine, who was lying in front of the window, couldn't help but worry whether the train going home would be delayed.

If that was the case, she would have to go back later. After all, she didn't want to wait for the train alone at the subway station.

She sighed and turned around, looking at the mess on the ground. She squatted down first and stuffed a textbook into the schoolbag next to her. "Let me help you clean up, Takamatsu-san."

"Thanks..."

Takamatsu Deng had already squatted down, and after Chihaya Aine joined them, the two of them quickly put most of the things that fell out into their schoolbags. In the end, only a notebook that was half opened by the wind was left.

Since Takamatsu Deng was still putting stones into the box, the notebook naturally fell into Chihaya Aine's hands.

"Hey...this is, the lyrics, right?"

The moment she turned the notebook over, she was instantly captivated by the lyrics and music on the page.

She had no intention of prying into other people's privacy. The main reason was that she discovered that her signature on the lyrics was the same as Takamatsu Deng's signature on the back of the notebook.

So...Takamatsu-san has actually played in a band?

There is a page of music score next to the lyrics, and it is marked from top to bottom with [Me], [Qian Yu], [Xiao Mu], [Xiao Xiang], [Su Shi], and [Li Xi].

Is this the name of the member of Takamatsu-san's band?

If there are six people, should there be an extra guitarist or lead singer?

“That’s ours.”

Takamatsu Deng had stood up at some point and came to Chihaya Aine's side, staring at the notebook in her hand with a complicated look.

"Haruhi Kage...it's a nice song title, but unfortunately I don't think I've heard it online."

Chihaya Aine then took another look at the song title, then closed the notebook and returned it to Takamatsu Deng.

Because the original owner was right here, it would be impolite for her to stare at him. After all, she didn't have the other party's consent, although she didn't do it on purpose.

"I can't hear it anymore."

After taking the notebook, Gao Songdeng held it in her arms without even looking at it. If you look closely, you can see her fingertips turning a little white due to the force.

"Doesn't it have the arrangement and lyrics? Since Takamatsu-san has his own band, it should be easy for him to play it, right?"

That's right, after seeing the lyrics and music in Takamatsu Touma's notebook, Chihaya Aion subconsciously thought that she rejected other people's invitations because she already had her own band.

As for the fact that he ran out crying last night, maybe he was in a bad mood? Or maybe he had a fight with someone in the band?

In short, this should be the case.

However, just when she thought she had understood the truth of the matter, Gao Songdeng's next words directly shattered her previous guess.
