MYGO's guitarist has ice attribute bonus

This is not the development I want. I obviously don't want to tell anyone... I just want to bury these things in my heart! I don't need anyone to be gentle with me, I don't need anyone to listen to my heart!

The more he thought about it, the more wronged and sad Xiangzi felt.

"No...I don't need other people's pity."

Hearing Xiangzi's words, Aine was not surprised: "As expected, Sakki has a strong sense of self-esteem and is unwilling to tell others."

Xiangzi was silent.

"As for me, I originally planned to study abroad in the UK during high school..."

Xiangzi raised his head and looked at Ain with some surprise. What's going on? Is Ain really going to tell me her story? I didn't even say whether I wanted to hear it or not.

"My study in the UK was going well, but then I came back due to illness."

Xiangzi's stubbornness couldn't overcome his concern for the girl in front of him: "Are you sick?"

"Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis." Aiyin said it without hesitation, but seeing Xiangzi was a little dazed, she continued, "It's commonly known as ALS."

“Eh?” Shoko looked at Aine, “But Aine… looks like a normal person.”

Aine chuckled softly, “After all, it’s only been a short time since he was diagnosed, so he still looks normal right now… But this is a terminal illness, so if I wait a little longer…”

Aine's voice gradually faded, and even though Xiangzi was standing next to her, he couldn't hear her words clearly. This was the first time Xiangzi saw sadness on Aine's face.

The sadness in her heart left with her breath, and the corner of Aiyin's mouth raised the familiar smile that Xiangzi remembered: "I don't want to have regrets for the rest of my life, so I came to high school. Because I love vanity, I formed a band with Xiaodeng and the others. I am a bad girl, right?"

After a pause, Aine looked out the window. The scenery outside was still beautiful. "Xiao Deng is such a strange child. When I invited her to form a band, she directly said that we should form a band for life."

“Tomo is such a child… Then what about you, Aine? You’ve already promised her, right? If you do this… you’ll break your promise…”

"I feel like I have fulfilled my promise... After all, I spent my whole life..." Aiyin walked to the window with her back to Xiangzi, and the crystal clearness in the corner of her eyes was not seen by Xiangzi.

“Aine…chan?”

"Well, I've finished my story, now it's Sakki's turn."

"Mine..."

Although he still felt some resistance in his heart, as he looked at Aine's back and saw Aine's story echoing in his mind, Xiangzi's defenses were collapsing bit by bit.

"Back then..."

By the time both of them finished their stories, the time agreed upon by Aine and Riki had already passed.

The grievances and sadness that had accumulated in Xiangzi's heart for a long time turned into tears the moment she finished speaking. She tore off all her disguises and strength, exposing her most vulnerable self in front of this girl who she had only known for a few days.

Aiyin walked up to Xiangzi and comforted her softly, "It's okay, Sakki, I'm here with you. Just cry out all the frustrations in your heart."

I didn't cry in front of everyone when I disbanded Crychic.

Why now, it’s so disgusting, I can’t stop crying.

“Aine-chan…”

You are so warm and dazzling... Why, why did you come into my life without permission...

"Hmm? I'm here, I've always been here." Aine gently hugged Xiangzi, who stiffened when she felt the hug, but then Xiangzi clung tightly to Aine, feeling the warmth of Aine's chest, her sobs became louder and more frequent, and finally... turned into heart-wrenching cries.

“Aine, I don’t want to leave Crychic either, but I can’t… I can’t help it… I didn’t mean to do that, and I don’t want to hurt them…”

"Yeah, I understand, I understand, it's okay, sakki, just cry it out."

Xiangzi's hands tightened and his tears soaked Aiyin's clothes.

Aiyin just listened quietly to Xiangzi's reluctance and grievance, patting her back gently with one hand, conveying comfort without words.

After a long time, Xiangzi's crying became softer and softer, and finally it was almost inaudible, with only low sobs left.

"Sakki, you should feel better now."

Xiangzi didn't say anything, but just nodded with red eyes.

This time, she cried more thoroughly than when she disbanded Crychic and cried while walking on the street on a rainy day. She only felt that the grievances and sadness disappeared at this moment, and the gloomy sky in her heart was illuminated by a ray of light.

“Aine-chan… you’re so cunning, you actually made me cry like this…”

At this moment, Xiangzi took off his disguise in front of Aiyin, revealing his former self deep in his heart.

"Sakki is so cute when she cries."

Aine raised her hand to push aside Xiangzi's bangs, and then she extended her hand towards Xiangzi: "Hello, Sakki, it's nice to meet the real you, my name is Chihaya Aine."

"Hmph, what kind of TV drama plot is this, Aine-chan?" Although Xiangzi complained a little, he still reached out and held Aine's hand.

"Hey, Sakki, everyone in the band is really nice. Although Riki's attitude is a bit bad, he's surprisingly cute."

"Well, Aine-chan, I'll leave Crychic to you... But it shouldn't be called Crychic now, right? You two should come up with a name for the new band. I'm a little skeptical of Aine-chan's naming skills."

"Eh... Sakki is too much."

Xiangzi took Aine's hand and sat down. "Aine-chan, do you...really have a terminal illness? I...hopefully, this is just a pretext to get me to speak out."

"Sakki, I didn't lie to you."

"It's okay, Aine-chan. Technology is so advanced nowadays, there will definitely be a way. At worst, we can go to America later."

Listening to Xiangzi's comfort, Aiyin smiled slightly: "It's okay, Sakki, you don't have to comfort me, I know my own body well."

The huge activity room fell silent again.

"Aine-chan, I hope you won't tell anyone the reason why I'm leaving the group. This is our secret."

"I know, you have to keep it a secret for me too, we have a deal."

Listening to Aine's slightly relaxed tone, Xiangzi felt mixed emotions.

My experience is so different from Aine's. In the face of life, are face and money really that important?

Maybe I should finally sit down and have a good talk with the rest of Crychic...

Not now, though.

Chapter 11: Kasuga Shadow

"Aine-chan, you're the only one who knows all my thoughts... After this, what will I do without you..."

"Hey, Sakki, don't make that expression. The doctor said that my illness is still early. Instead of looking sad, why don't we have some fun, right?"

The next moment, Aiyin used her finger to lift up the corners of Xiangzi's drooping mouth: "Sakki, you'd look better if you smiled more."

Why do I feel like Sakki has become a different person after she spoke out her heart? Is this the original her? She is as cute as a little kid.

"Smile?" Xiangzi forced a smile. "Then can you stay with me forever?"

Why does this sentence sound so familiar? Shouldn't this be Xiao Deng's words?

"Yeah, okay."

"Then it's a promise. If you break it, I will never forgive you."

“Okay.” Aine nodded, her eyes accidentally glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, “By the way, Sakki, isn’t it a little late now?”

"Eh?" Aine's sudden words interrupted the heavy atmosphere. Xiangzi took out his phone and checked the time. Oh no, how come it's almost six o'clock? I'm late! I'm done with my perfect attendance this month!

But when she saw the pink figure beside her, her nervous and sad mood miraculously calmed down.

Is the perfect attendance award really that important? Perhaps, but it is definitely not the most important thing.

"Aine-chan, do you have anything else to do today?"

"Yes..." Aiyin muttered, her eyes fixed on her phone. Xiangzi came closer with some curiosity, and saw dozens of messages from Rikki. "Sakki, I'm done. I had an appointment with Rikki at 5:30, and now it's almost 6 o'clock, and I just realized that she sent me dozens of messages."

[Lixi: Where are you?]

[Lixi: Didn’t we say we’d meet there?]

[Lixi: Come quickly.]

[Lixi: I’m going to put pressure on you.]

[......]

"Are you going to rehearse with them?"

"Yeah, that's it. I need to think of a reason to be late."

"Aine-chan, are you going to rehearse every day from now on?"

"Huh? That hasn't been confirmed yet."

"Then I'll take a day off tomorrow. Can you go for a walk with me?"

As he spoke, Xiangzi stretched out his legs, blocking Aiyin's way without leaving any trace.

“Eh?” Aine was taken aback by the sudden invitation, but she quickly agreed. “Take a leave? You’re not coming to school tomorrow?”

"I'm taking a leave of absence from work."

"Work? Does Sakki have to work part-time every day after school?"

"Ah."

"Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow."

After receiving a satisfactory answer, Xiangzi retracted his legs and made way for Aine to leave. "If there is anything, you can come to the classroom next door to find me, don't call Xiaodeng. Then, Aine-chan, see you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Night had fallen, and Ae-in finally arrived at RiNG. When she arrived at the cafe, she saw Deng, Su Shi and Li Xi looking at her.

The three of them showed different expressions when they saw Aine for the first time.

Light: Happy.

Lixi: Angry.

Su Shi: Rolling eyes.

"Sorry, I was talking to a friend about something, so..."

Li Xi snorted coldly: "Is your friend a succubus? You don't even have time to reply to a message?"

Hearing Rikki putting pressure on herself, Aine immediately walked to Rikki's side, holding one of Rikki's hands with both hands and started to act coquettishly: "Oh, Rikki, I'm sorry."

Aine suddenly grabbed his hand, causing Riki to shudder. He immediately shook it off, "What are you doing all of a sudden?"

"I'm sorry, Rikki, Xiao Deng, and Su Shi-san. I won't do it again next time."

Deng nodded solemnly: "Yes, I believe Aine."

"Since Deng believes what you say, I'll believe you for now too. This won't happen again."

Seeing that Rikki, who was the most difficult to talk to, chose to believe her, Aine breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Rikki."

"Who is Rikki? I'm Rikki."

"rikki is rikki."

Su Shi sighed. Although she felt a little unhappy in her heart, she didn't show it on her face. Her voice was as soft as always: "Xiao Deng, you really dote on Ai Yin. Ai Yin also needs to reflect on herself."

Seeing that the three of them had relented, Aine quickly agreed: "Okay, I definitely won't do that next time."

Su Shi glanced at Li Xi and said, "It's so late today, do you still need to rehearse?"

"Rehearsal, I know the level of Deng and Su Shi, so today is a good time to see your guitar skills."

Aine nodded, "Oh, okay."

The four of them arrived at the rehearsal room, and Aine took off the guitar from her back. "What do you think, Rikki? C chord? G chord? A minor? Or F chord?"

After hearing what Aine said, Riki sighed helplessly: "Those are just chords, can't you play a song?"

"So what song would you like to hear, Rikki? Give me the sheet music and I'll give it a try."

At this moment, Aine felt fortunate. Although she had gone to study in England before, she had not neglected her guitar practice. Now she had moved to Yugaoka and practiced with Xiangzi every day. Her guitar skills had reached a certain level.

"Just play the Kasuga Shadow."

Aine pouted in dissatisfaction: "Rikki is so cunning, I've only heard that song once."

Su Shi, who was standing beside him, was also somewhat dissatisfied, although he remained calm on the surface: "Huh? But..."

Before Su Shi could finish, Li Xi interrupted: "Why, are you worried about that guy?"

Su Shi rejected Li Xi's pressure and turned to look at Deng: "Xiao Deng, what do you think?"

"I...I don't have any songs I can sing."
