Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"I'm just curious and I won't look for another band before I reach an agreement with you." Aine didn't expect that a certain usually docile and well-behaved little animal might be a carnivore unexpectedly.

Li Xi, who was standing aside, stared at the hem of Takamatsu Deng's clothes, while the conversation between Aine and Takamatsu Deng was replaying in his mind in 360-degree echo without any blind spots.

"Let's go to the coffee shop upstairs first. There are a lot of people coming and going here." Li Xi knew that the most urgent thing now was to separate the two people in front of him who were about to make love.

"Is there a cafe in here?" Aine didn't expect that there would be a cafe in this LiveHouse.

Takamatsu Deng silently let go of the hem of the clothes he was holding tightly and followed Aine step by step.

Fortunately, Li Xi, who was walking in front and leading the way, was unable to see this scene, otherwise Gao Di’s anger would have increased even more.

It just so happened that the person entertaining the three people in the cafe was Rinrinko who had just left.

"Call me when you decide what to order~" Rinrinko placed three glasses of ice water in front of and behind the three people, then put away the tray and left.

"There are so many menus." Aine picked up the menu on the table and looked at it with a bit of dizziness.

"As an employee here, does Riki have any recommendations?" After taking a quick look at the menu, Aine decided to ask Riki, who worked part-time at "RiNG".

"Deng, what do you want to drink?" Li Xi had already focused his attention on Gao Songdeng.

"It's good to be the same as you guys..." Gao Songdeng lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"How about some hot Earl Grey tea?" Li Xi knew he had to change his mind. It seemed that he couldn't ignore the pink-haired girl next to him.

"If it's Riki who recommended it, then of course there's no problem." Aine certainly had no objection to being recommended by an acquaintance.

"Light?" Li Xi looked at Gao Songdeng beside him.

"Um……

Gao Songdeng nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

"Sister Rinrinko, three cups of hot Earl Grey tea." Li Xi said to Rinrinko who was standing behind the counter.

"Okay, two cups of hot Earl Grey tea." Rinrinko smiled and prepared to go.

"So what are we going to talk about today?" Li Xi subconsciously thought that it was the idea of ​​the annoying pink-haired girl next to him to get together today.

"Today's party was initiated by Xiao Deng~" Aine shrugged and spread her hands.

"Deng?" Li Xi was quite surprised. In her impression, Gao Song Deng was not someone who would take the initiative to do anything.

"Hehe, it seems that Lixi doesn't know Xiaodeng well enough." Aine was happy to see Lixi get humiliated.

"what?"

"I'm just a little surprised. How could you, who have only known Deng for a few days, understand Deng better than me?" Li Xi turned his head and stared at Aine.

Then Li Xi would never have thought in her life that the pink-haired girl whom she said she had only known for a few days had much more intimate contact with Gao Songdeng than she did during this period of time.

"Small-minded." Aine didn't expect Riki to be so easily teased.

"Here are your three cups of hot Earl Grey tea. Please enjoy them." Rinrinzi's timely rescue averted a bloody storm.

"Ain is right, I was the one who initiated today's party." Takamatsu Deng's voice was small but revealed an unprecedented firmness.

"Yes, I was right, wasn't I?" Aiyin picked up the Earl Grey tea in front of her and took a sip, looking at Lixi proudly.

"Lights..." For the first time since their reunion, Li Xi felt that the person in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar.

PS: My efficiency in typing at work is really low. I feel like I can’t write half as fast as I did at midnight. The second update should be around 8 o’clock.

Volume 1: Chapter 30: Shocking Wisdom

The golden-red light of the setting sun cast a thin golden veil over the floor of the RiNG Café. The sky seemed so peaceful at this moment, but all this had nothing to do with the three people in the café.

"I want to form a band with you all again." Gao Songdeng raised his head and looked at the two people in front of him, with a dazzling light shining in his amber eyes.

"Light..." Li Xi was surprised this time because he was discovering a kind of Takamatsu light that he had never seen before.

"Lixi, you won't be able to move the conversation forward if you just keep calling Deng's name." Aine looked at Lixi who had become a heartless parrot and clapped her hands to bring her back to reality.

"Does the band thing also include this guy?" Li Xi, who was unable to tell that he was immersed in joy just now, chose to divert the flames of war.

"Of course, little Aine will come too." Takamatsu Deng stared at Aine with his amber eyes.

"Excuse me, Xiao Deng, is the band you mentioned the 'lifelong band' you mentioned before?" Aiyin doesn't like to make promises to others when she can't keep them.

"Hmm..." When Takamatsu Deng realized that there was still a high wall called "a lifetime" between him and Aine, his mood couldn't help but become depressed.

"You guy, Deng finally mustered up the courage to re-form the band." Li Xi grabbed Aiyin, but she dodged him easily.

"You saw my situation yesterday, right? I can't make a promise to Xiao Deng like 'for a lifetime.'" Aiyin also had her own considerations about her own situation.

Li Xi, who was furious just now, calmed down as if a bucket of cold water was poured on him after hearing Aine's words.

Although the battle he saw in the alley yesterday was one-sided, Li Xi also understood that such things would not always go smoothly.

Normally, he could argue with the other party about the lamp, but Li Xi couldn't say something like "That kind of thing doesn't matter" to the other party.

"Alright, alright, how about we try to work together for a week?" Aine said quickly when she saw the atmosphere around them was about to become depressing.

"Huh?" Li Xi didn't expect there was still room for bargaining.

Gao Songdeng was also visibly depressed when he heard the word "one week".

“Well, that’s one month!” Aine then made the number 1 with her hand.

The result was a more depressed Takamatsu Deng.

“How about we just stop at the Live?” Aine had no choice but to play her last trump card.

When Takamatsu Deng heard "Live", he lowered his head and opened his beautiful amber eyes.

"I don't know if I can do this for a lifetime, so I might as well hold a live show first."

"Let's all go together, okay?" Aine looked at Takamatsu Deng beside her for help.

"Then...it definitely has to be the first Live." Takamatsu Deng raised his head and agreed with Aine's idea of ​​"holding a Live first".

“Why do every word sound so heavy…” Aine felt that she had never felt this tired even when fighting monsters and aliens before.

"It feels exactly like when I was sucked in by Bruton." Player Zero also expressed his own complaints.

"Huh?" Li Xi made the sound he was best at.

"I was just talking nonsense. I will try my best." Since she had decided to join the band, Aine naturally had no intention of doing it half-heartedly.

"But your guitar is already covered in dust. Can you really complete the performance?" Cero covered his head with his hands and could not bear to watch anymore.

"Hmph! As long as I get my feeling back, live performances will be a piece of cake." Aine was naturally dissatisfied.

The automatic door of the cafe slowly opened. Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, as if thinking about how to persuade Li Xi to return to the band.

"Should we go get the lamp first?"

"Xiao Mu needs to work harder. If I can see Xiao Xiang again, this time I will definitely..."

With her amazing wisdom, Nagasaki Suyo sorted out the things that needed to be done in her mind one by one. All of this was to put the home called "CRYCHIC" back together.

"So what instrument were you responsible for before?" Since they had decided to play in a band together, Li Xi had no intention of being perfunctory.

"For me, of course I'm the guitarist or lead singer." Aine extended her right index finger and pointed at her cheek.

"Anyway, I will never give up the position in the middle." Aine still did not forget her original intention.

"Hasn't your goal of making new friends been achieved?!" Zero didn't expect that Aine still kept this step after all the twists and turns.

“Strive for everything first!”

Two familiar voices caught Nagasaki Suyo's attention. Although the other unfamiliar voice sounded like it was talking to someone she knew, it was naturally filtered out by Nagasaki Suyo.

Nagasaki Suyo raised her head and found her target at a glance.

"Deng-chan and Lixi-chan, what are you doing?" Nagasaki Suyo didn't expect that the two of them had already met before she had made any arrangements.

"Su Shi..." Li Xi didn't expect Nagasaki Su Shi to appear at this time.

Takamatsu Deng just looked at Nagasaki Suyo who suddenly appeared, and did not say anything.

"Who is this?" Nagasaki Suyo noticed Aine who was sitting with the two of them.

"Hello, I'm Chihaya Aine, Xiao Deng's friend." Aine looked curiously at the young lady in front of her who was wearing the Tsuki no Mori school uniform.

"What were you talking about just now?" Nagasaki Suyo's attention was all on how to convince Takamatsu Deng and Shiina Riki, and she just asked Aine casually.

"Oh, we were just discussing forming a band." Aine said with a relaxed look on her face.

"boom"

The backpack on Nagasaki Suyo's shoulder was pulled down by gravity and fell to the floor of the cafe, and the elegant feeling on her body was almost shattered.

"Haha, I remember today is not April Fool's Day~" Nagasaki Motoyo managed to control her voice with the help of her years of skill in creating character and adjusting her voice.

"She's right, we are discussing forming a band." Li Xi has always been outspoken.

"Deng-chan, is this true?" Nagasaki Suyo still retained the last glimmer of hope.

"I have decided to form a band again with Aine and Lixi." Takamatsu Deng nodded to confirm that what Aine and Lixi said was true.

"Why do you want to form a band again so suddenly?" Nagasaki Suyo, who was eager to know the answer, could no longer maintain that soft tone.

"Is all my plan in vain?" Nagasaki Suyo fell into self-doubt. She didn't expect that the plan she prepared with her amazing wisdom would fail in the womb before even taking the first step.

"Mosuyo, let's form a band together!" Takamatsu Deng mustered up the courage to invite Nagasaki Mosuyo.

"Huh? Me?"

PS: Oh my goodness, I need to figure out how Su Shi can use her incredible ingenuity to infiltrate this sudden change. I played "Shanghai Girls Band" at work today, and it was pretty difficult. Finally, I'm begging for votes, because after a couple of days, there won't be any recommendations. Can I apply to resume my lazy update then?

Volume 1: Chapter 31: Interesting Woman

Nagasaki Suyo was still thinking about how to join the newly formed band, but she didn't expect that Takamatsu Deng would extend an olive branch to her.

"Is it really okay for me to join? And this also requires the consent of Chihaya-san." Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the only stranger present, a pink-haired guy who looked easy to deceive.

"My opinion? I don't care. As long as Xiaodeng and Lixi agree." Aine has always been indifferent.

"Wait a moment, let me sort it out." Nagasaki Suyo sat down at the only empty seat at the table.

"Did Chihaya bring Deng-chan here and then ask Riki to form a new band?" Nagasaki Suyo crossed her fingers and placed them on her chin, and began to display her amazing wisdom.

"No~ Although I have talked to Xiao Deng about forming a band together before, it was Xiao Deng who initiated it today~" After saying this, Aine picked up the Earl Grey tea on the table and took a sip.

"Deng-chan?" Nagasaki Suyo got an answer that even with her amazing wisdom she could not have thought of.

Nagasaki Suyo's first reaction after being in disbelief was to look at Shiina Riki who was standing beside her. She knew that if someone used Takamatsu Touma as a shield in front of Riki, Riki would definitely be the first person to jump out and expose it.

Noticing the gaze that Nagasaki Suyo cast at him, Li Xi vaguely guessed what the other party wanted from him.

When Nagasaki Suyo saw that Riki didn't show any reaction, she already knew the answer, although it was an answer she didn't want.

Nagasaki Suyo's gaze slowly swept across the two familiar faces, and the irrelevant one was automatically blocked out by her.

"Deng-chan, you've changed too..." Nagasaki Motoyo didn't expect that after everyone in "CRYCHIC" separated, the person who changed the most was Takamatsu Deng.

"Oh, I see! Thank you!" Although it was different from what she had planned in her mind, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't express it on her face.

"Thank you, Li Xi, for coming here." Nagasaki Suyo said as if she was the one who gathered everyone together.

"So you want to join?" Li Xi noticed that Takamatsu Deng beside him was still waiting for Nagasaki Suyo's reply.

"Of course I have to join. This is a band with Deng-chan and Li Xi-chan." Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously pointed three fingers, and now there are only two left.

"Is Ms. Suye also one of Xiaodeng's previous band members?" Aiyin's social skills were used normally, and he successfully obtained the identity of Nagasaki Suye.

"That's right, we are both members of "CRYCHIC", and I am responsible for the bass." When Nagasaki Suyo heard what Aine said about her "previous band", she almost couldn't help but let out a "tsk" sound.

"I welcome Ms. Motoyo to join us~" After hearing Nagasaki Motoyo say that she would be the bassist, Aine naturally agreed with her joining the band one hundred thousand times.

"Why does Xiao Deng want to form a band again?" Nagasaki Suyo didn't dwell on it with Aine for too long. Right now, she had more important things to do, which was to find out the reason why Takamatsu Deng made the change.

"Cero, do you feel like I'm being ignored?" After becoming one with Cero, Aine's five senses became extremely sharp, which made her realize that although the eldest lady of the Moon Forest would occasionally mention her, her eyes had never been on her.

"You're right... except for the time she looked at you when she first entered the room, her eyes were completely focused on the other two people." Cero confirmed Aine's opinion.

"Well, let's just wait and see how things develop. Can it get any worse than those aliens?" Having seen the world and outer space, Aine could keep a calm mind about such things.

"Let's form a band together for life." Takamatsu Deng made a lifelong declaration to Nagasaki Suyo.

"For a lifetime?" Nagasaki Suyo opened her mouth in surprise. This was the second time she lost her composure except for the first time she entered the cafe.

"Yeah!" There was only determination left in Gao Songdeng's eyes.
