Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"'Haruhi no Kasuga' will do, right?" Shiina Tatsuki's idea was simple. Since he was going to train a newcomer, it would be better to choose a song that other veterans could sing.

Takamatsu Deng was a little surprised that Shiina Riki chose the song "Kasuga Shadow" but didn't say anything, while Nagasaki Suyo looked like she was lost in thought.

"As for 'Kasuga Shadow', I practiced hard last night!" Chihaya Aine became excited when talking about this.

"But..." Nagasaki Suyo also had her own concerns about this.

"What? Are you still worried about that guy?" Shiina Riki also knew very well what Nagasaki Motoyo was worried about.

"Deng-chan, is it okay?" Recalling the hot liquid that splashed on her face that night, Nagasaki Suyo also made up her mind.

"I can't sing any other songs..." Gao Songdeng lowered his head and his voice was very soft.

"Then we are exactly the same!" Chihaya Aine happily grabbed Takamatsu Deng's hands and jumped up and down.

"Then it's decided to be Kasuga Shadow." Seeing this, Nagasaki Suyo just looked at this new band with a smile on her face.

After deciding on the ensemble piece, Shiina Riki returned to his seat and put away the music score of "Kasuga Shadow".

"Click." Just when Shiina Riki was about to remind others to start practicing, the door of the rehearsal room was pushed open, and an uninvited guest slowly walked into the room with a guitar.

Now everyone who was bustling about stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the uninvited guest.

The uninvited guest dragged his guitar to the front of the speakers, raised his head and turned to look at the other four people who had not yet figured out the situation.

The visitor had snow-white skin, and hidden under the loose clothes was a slender and exquisite figure, with a slender waist that made her legs look even longer; a cute face that was as delicate as a baby's, and delicate and pretty facial features. The most eye-catching thing was her pair of extremely eye-catching heterochromatic eyes. At first glance, it seemed as if you saw a bright crescent moon and a scorching sun rising.

"Aren't you going to start?" Although the girl with heterochromic eyes was a little confused, it did not affect her making her own preparations.

"Wait... wait a minute! Who asked her to come here?" Ever since the girl with heterochromic eyes entered the rehearsal room, Chihaya Aine's right eyelid has been twitching, as if foreshadowing something.

Gao Songdeng shook his head silently, indicating that he didn't know.

"So hardcore?" After seeing the box full of effects pedals carried by the heterochromic-eyed girl, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but hug her guitar tightly in her arms.

After everything was ready, the heterochromatic-eyed girl wordlessly walked over to Shiina Riki's drum set with her guitar and started looking at the music score of "Kasuga Shadow".

"Wait..." Shiina Riki's attempt to stop the other party died before he could even finish his words.

"Emmm." The girl with heterochromic eyes just took a few glances and then walked to Takamatsu Deng's side and began to fine-tune her guitar.

After finally getting a clear look at the guitar of the heterochromic-eyed girl, whose paint was already chipping in many places, Aine couldn't help but sigh, "It's so old."

"It's been around for a while." Nagasaki Suyo was also a little surprised by the guitar used by the girl with heterochromia eyes.

"This is my grandma's guitar." The girl with heterochromic eyes explained while looking at the guitar in front of her.

"Don't you want to start?"

"Ugh?"

"Um, what do you mean to start?" Nagasaki Suyo switched to the concise and low-pitched voice mode she usually used when there were outsiders around.

"Band." After saying that, the girl with heterochromatic eyes began to play the prelude of "Haruhi Shadow" and hummed along with the tune.

Takamatsu Deng clenched his right fist in front of his chest, while Shiina Riki opened his mouth in surprise. She knew very well that the girl with heterochromatic eyes who was playing "Kasuga Shadow" in front of her had memorized all the music after just a few glances at the score, and could even play "Kasuga Shadow" fluently.

Nagasaki Motoyo frowned when she heard "Kasuga Shadow" again, and Chihaya Aine was greatly shocked because she and Zero had practiced hard all night but their results were only comparable to the heterochromic girl in front of her.

"Hmm~" After playing for a short while, the corners of the girl's mouth began to rise, and it was obvious that she was quite satisfied with the song "Haruhi Shadow".

Not wanting to be outdone, Chihaya Aine also joined in the performance in order to show off the results of her hard work and practice last night.

"We agreed to help Aine-chan and Mr. Zero!"

Gao Songdeng took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then the song flowing from his heart rang out in the rehearsal room.

"My heart is filled with haggardness, my eyes are wandering

I'm alone in this world

In this fading spring"

"Deng!" Shiina Tatsuki, who hadn't heard Takamatsu Deng's singing for a long time, immediately got into the mood, and the sound of drums began.

"I really can't do anything about you." Seeing that her three teammates were aroused by the girl with heterochromic eyes, Nagasaki Suyo had no choice but to go with the flow and join this sudden ensemble.

“Every year I only feel the cold

Walking forward in one direction in the darkness

I can only keep writing randomly

Knowing that expectations are in vain

Still seeking redemption

(Heart-wrenching yet endearing)

Now I feel like I understand

(Happiness but also makes people confused)

Shining on me who can't cry

The light gently carries me along

Passing through the layers of clouds, it becomes sparkling

My inner thoughts overflow

When I came to my senses, my cheeks were still shining

Hot tears wet my face

Why are your hands so warm?

Please

Please never let go from now on

The fate between people is always intermittent

People in joy and sorrow

Counting one love after another

To confirm the beating of my heart

(Delightful yet lonely)

Now I feel like I understand

(Important but scary)

Shining on me who can't cry

It is the light that gently embraces me

The important person who blooms proudly in this sunny world

Know what a warm spring is

I shed tears because of you and me

Ahhh how dazzling

Ahhh how beautiful

Passing through the layers of clouds, it becomes sparkling

My inner thoughts overflow

When I came to my senses, my cheeks were still shining

Hot tears wet my face

Why are your hands so warm?

Hey, please

Please never let go from now on

Never, ever let go again"

Gao Songdeng's mind kept flashing back to the image of the white moonlight.

At the end of the song, a ray of warm sunlight illuminated the little watermelon worm's entire world.

"Thank you, Xiangzi... Now, for the sake of my friends, I will crawl out from under the stone and take a new step."

PS: Today's votes are ten or even nine times more than yesterday's! Thank you so much! Please continue to fill me up with your votes. QAQ. I'm going out for my birthday tomorrow (one year younger, everyone), so I don't know if I can update as usual. If I get back early, I'll update. I really have no choice but to ask everyone for a day off.

Volume 1: Chapter 52: Your smile still suits you

After the performance of "Spring Shadow", the five people in the rehearsal room were surprised that this first ensemble was so harmonious.

"Come with me!" Shiina Riki sensed some possibility, grabbed the girl with heterochromia eyes and walked out the door.

"Lixi?"

The three remaining people in the rehearsal room looked at each other, and had no choice but to put down their instruments and follow Shiina Tatsuki.

"Matcha Parfait~" The girl with heterochromic eyes who was dragged into the coffee shop in RiNG by Shiina Riki lazily lay on the table and read out the names of the dishes.

"Huh?" All the questions in Shiina Riki's mind were answered by this matcha parfait.

"Matcha parfait~" The girl with heterochromia turned her head and looked at Shiina Ritsuki with her beautiful eyes.

"A matcha parfait, please." After all, he was asking for a favor, so Shiina Ritsuki sighed and chose to order a matcha parfait for the heterochromic-eyed girl in front of him.

"Okay, one matcha parfait, please wait."

After a while, a matcha parfait was handed to the girl with heterochromia eyes. The girl's beautiful eyes sparkled the moment she saw the matcha parfait.

"Hmm~" She scooped up a mouthful of matcha ice cream with a spoon and put it into her mouth. The fragrance of matcha combined with the smoothness of the parfait, the sweet but not greasy and layered taste spread in her mouth, and the heterochromatic girl let out a comfortable hum.

"Emm" Chihaya Aine frowned, feeling that her status in the band would decline further.

"She sometimes uses the stage here to perform, right?" Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the girl with heterochromic eyes who was concentrating on the matcha parfait in front of her, then turned around and whispered to Shiina Riki.

"RiNG's stray cat." Shiina Riki sighed, put his hands on his hips and revealed the identity of the girl with heterochromic eyes.

"Um, what should I call you?" Nagasaki Motoyo still used that slightly pinched voice when speaking to the girl with heterochromia eyes.

"I want Lenai." The girl with heterochromic eyes said her name while stuffing matcha parfait into her mouth with her hands.

"You like matcha very much." In order to maintain the conversation, Nagasaki Suyo had to keep finding topics.

"Yeah, and there's also wasabi noodles," Kaname Rakuna said before stuffing another mouthful of matcha parfait into her mouth.

"Hey~~~~, it's delicious, right?"

"So the band you're talking about, you mean..." Nagasaki Suyo was almost unable to hold it in.

"It's the band." There was no fluctuation in Kaname's tone.

"I mean..." Nagasaki Suyo experienced the feeling of seeing someone talking to stray cats on the roadside.

"Do you want to join the band?" asked Takamatsu Deng, who had been watching for a long time.

As soon as Takamatsu Deng said this, he immediately attracted the surprised gazes of Chihaya Aine, Nagasaki Suyo and Shiina Riki.

"I want to join." Kaname's answer was very concise.

"Why?" Chihaya Aine asked quickly.

However, the moment she asked the question, Chihaya Aine suddenly felt that it would not be a bad thing to have someone with such superb guitar skills join the band. Her current situation was special and she had no way to guarantee that nothing would go wrong during the Live performance. If there was a member with outstanding guitar skills in the band, it would be a great help in a sense. However, she still felt a little regretful that her idea of ​​standing in the center of the stage was completely shattered.

"Why are you looking for us? Your skills are so good, there must be someone else who invited you, right?" Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously played with her fingers.

Kaname Rakuna licked the matcha parfait that touched her lips and replied, "They are all boring women."

Chihaya Aine didn't expect that the other party wanted to join for this reason, and was a little surprised.

"But..." Kaname Rakuna turned around and set her sights on Takamatsu Deng who was standing not far away.

The little animal, which had never been looked at in such a way before, shrank back.

"What are you doing?" Shiina Riki quickly took a step forward and stretched out his hand to block Takamatsu Deng.

"Interesting woman!" Yao Lenai's slightly upturned mouth corners looked like a cat's mouth.

"Oh?" Gao Songdeng clenched his little fist in front of his chest even tighter.

"Huh?" Shiina Riki felt a sense of crisis.
