Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"This guy!" Shiina Riki's tone became noticeably harsher.

"Lena, Deng-chan will be scared if you look at her like that." Nagasaki Suyo is a peacemaker and is also very skilled in Tai Chi.

"Is the band over? Bye~" After putting the last bite of matcha parfait into his mouth, Kaname stood up, pulled his guitar and equipment and walked towards the entrance of the coffee shop.

"This..." Nagasaki Suyo looked at Lenai's back as she was leaving, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Well, let's go back to the rehearsal room to discuss that matter?" Chihaya Aine clapped her hands, signaling her three teammates to come back quickly.

"That's right. After all, that matter is quite important." Nagasaki Motoyo also quickly adjusted her state.

There were five of us when we came to the coffee shop, and only four when we left.

"Then the time of action will be set after school tomorrow, and I will choose an open and uninhabited place as the location." Nagasaki Suyo set the tone for tomorrow's induced supersonic flying vehicle plan.

After rehearsing a few more times, everyone waved goodbye.

"See you tomorrow, Deng." Chihaya Aine waved goodbye to Takamatsu Deng with a smile on her face.

"See you tomorrow, Aine." Takamatsu Touma happily waved goodbye to Chihaya Aine.

Today, the task of sending Takamatsu Deng home was still taken over by Shiina Tatsuki, who volunteered at the first opportunity.

"Soyorin, let's go~" After waving goodbye, Chihaya Aine rushed to the front in three or two steps.

"Did I tell you not to call me like that outside?" Nagasaki Motoyo sighed but still helplessly followed Chihaya Aine who was jumping in front.

"Oh, is that true?" Chihaya Aine was a little confused.

"Aine-chan, you're always like this... Even when Lenai asked to join the band just now, you had an expression that showed you were nervous at first and then relaxed." Nagasaki Motoyo has successfully been promoted to an expert in observing Chihaya Aine.

"Let me guess, you initially felt that your center position on the stage was threatened, and then you thought that if you had a high-level guitarist in the band, you wouldn't have to worry about doing something dangerous. Am I right?" Nagasaki Motoyo looked at Chihaya Aine, who was already sweating profusely, with a smile.

"Ahaha, I don't think so, soyorin, you're worrying too much." Chihaya Aine was a little stuttering because her little thoughts were seen through by Nagasaki Suyo.

"Then do you want me to tell you how many times you frowned from the time the stray cat appeared to the time it left?" Nagasaki Suyo's smiling face was full of danger.

"already

Being completely seen through, wouldn't it be nice to just tell the truth now?" There was a hint of gloating in Zero's tone.

"It's all someone's fault." After Chihaya Aine finished complaining rather resentfully, she knew that she couldn't hide it any longer.

"I surrender, I surrender. I admit that I have thought so. After all, my current situation is a bit special. If the band activities cannot be carried out properly due to my personal reasons, that is not what I want." After knowing that she was completely exposed, Chihaya Aine stopped laughing and changed the subject.

"That night before in the four-dimensional space, Aine-chan kept calling me an idiot... Now it seems that Aine-chan is maybe the biggest idiot." Nagasaki Suyo suddenly lowered her head, letting her beautiful blue pupils be covered with a light shadow from her bangs.

"Do you think it would be good for everyone if you just become an insignificant marginal member of the band in your current situation? Aren't we a community with a shared destiny? Why do you think we can play happily without Aine-chan?" Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes were still in shadows, like a blue sky covered by dark clouds.

Faced with a series of questions from Nagasaki Suyo, Chihaya Aine was speechless for a moment, which made Nagasaki Suyo's little face even gloomier, and her blue eyes were full of regret.

I didn't understand what happened to Xiangzi in time before, and it was not until that rainy day that I woke up from the beautiful dream that Xiangzi had woven for me. This time, I will never let go so easily.

Chihaya Aion sighed, it was over, it was all fucking over. She hadn't expected that Nagasaki Motoyo, whom she had only known for a few days, would care so much about her situation in the band, and she ended up accidentally detonating a landmine.

"Look, Soyorin, rehearsals are fine, but if something suddenly happens to me and I can't attend the Live, everyone will feel uncomfortable, right?" Chihaya Aine is now like an ant on a hot pan, feeling uncomfortable all over.

"Did anyone ever say that Aine-chan would feel uncomfortable if she couldn't participate in a live performance? And who said that playing in a band means you have to hold a live performance?" Nagasaki Motoyo raised her head and looked straight at Chihaya Aine in front of her.

"I'm sorry, I did think that it would be better for me to be an insignificant marginal person in the band. After listening to what you said, Soyorin, I realized that this idea was wrong. You are right that in a sense, we already share a common destiny." Chihaya Aine knew that she could not choose to escape again.

"Let me trouble you in all aspects from now on~soyorin~" After figuring it all out, Chihaya Aine showed a bright smile on her face.

"Know when to stop, everything should be done in moderation." After seeing Chihaya Aine's smile, Nagasaki Motoyo's iceberg-like face melted as if bathed in the spring breeze, revealing the beautiful smile hidden beneath the ice.

Under the neon lights of the city, Nagasaki Suyo's facial features are a little darker in shadow, making her already delicate features more three-dimensional. As her eyes move, she really shows the style of a wealthy and noble lady.

"Sure enough, the best thing for Soyorin is his smile!" Chihaya Aine was a little reluctant to recognize him. She looked at him with an eye for beauty, and it was so pleasing to the eyes.

Taking advantage of Chihaya Aine's intense gaze, Nagasaki Suyo had already walked over to her side in small steps and said with a smile, "Does it look good?"

"It looks good!" Chihaya Aine came back to her senses and gently held Nagasaki Motoyo's hand.

Faced with Chihaya Aine's straightforward praise, Nagasaki Motoyo was flustered and didn't know what to do next.

"See you tomorrow, Soyorin! Thank you for today~" When Nagasaki Suyo was lost in thought, Chihaya Aion had already run away.

Since the distance was too far, Nagasaki Suyo didn't intend to shout loudly in such a public place. She just gently waved her right hand at Chihaya Aine and said silently in her heart: "See you tomorrow, Aine-chan and everyone."

After watching Chihaya Aine disappear in the crowd, Nagasaki Suyo turned around and slowly left.

"I can't be idle tonight. I need to contact some people after choosing the venue and ask other girl bands to temporarily postpone their performances tomorrow." While walking on the road, Nagasaki Suyo was thinking in her mind how to solve these two problems.

"Shotaro-san, could you please help me find some larger parks in Tokyo, and also contact some companies that can build an open-air stage on the vacant land tomorrow." Nagasaki Motoyo took out her cell phone and called the private detective who had just been sent out to collect information in the afternoon.

"Miss, there's something I don't know whether I should say or not... I'm a private detective, not a private butler." Shotarou on the other end didn't expect that after the supersonic UFO incident in the afternoon, the young lady asked to check the park and the company that could build the stage.

"In a sense, these things are also within the scope of your business, right? And I didn't owe you wages when I had nothing to do before, right?" Nagasaki Suyo's tone was extremely calm, but it made people feel the tremendous pressure like a mountain pressing down on their heads.

"I guarantee to complete the mission!" Shotarou didn't care about the teasing look of his partner.

"I'm looking forward to your results, Shotarou-san." Nagasaki Motoyo said and hung up the phone.

"What a troublesome young lady." Shotarou looked speechlessly at the hung-up phone in his hand, but since it was work, there was no room for carelessness, so he picked up his hat and put it on.

"Cero, do you think my previous thoughts were wrong?" Chihaya Aine lay on the bed, recalling what Nagasaki Motoyo said today.

"I can only say that neither of you is wrong. Aine, you don't want to affect other people's bands because of you, and you're also worried that if you get too close to them and yourself, you'll become a target of the enemy."

"But the band obviously has a special meaning to Su Shi-san. In her opinion, since Aine is already a member of the band, your business is theirs. You two are a community with a shared destiny called a band."

In fact, Zero was quite pleased that Chihaya Aine could find a friend who was willing to share the burden with her. The burden of carrying everything to fight on her own was still too heavy for a 15-year-old high school girl. Companions connected by the bond of light would make the light stronger.

PS: Wow, thank you all for your votes~ I love you guys

Volume 1: Chapter 53: Ultra Zeta Riser

"A community of shared destiny?" Chihaya Aine hugged her pillow, unable to erase these words from her mind for a long time.

While thinking, Chihaya Aine fell asleep unknowingly.

In her dream, Chihaya Aine saw herself fighting a little golden man, but the scene stopped abruptly when she turned into a giant with a dreamy glow on her body.

Threads of golden sunlight shone through the skylight onto the solid wood floor, making the originally light yellow boards look a little red.

It was not until the sunlight shone on Chihaya Aine's slender, straight and delicate calves and round and smooth toes that the warmth brought by the morning sunlight woke Chihaya Aine from her dream.

　"Hmm, the alarm clock didn't wake me up today?" Chihaya Aine got up and sat cross-legged on the bed in a cute duck position, yawning and rubbing her sleepy eyes.

"Actually, you got up early and the alarm hasn't rung yet." Cero reminded him considerately.

"Oh! Is that so? Then wouldn't it be a loss if I didn't sleep until the alarm rang?!" After hearing what Zero said, Chihaya Aine let her body fall freely and lay back on the bed.

"So waking up before the alarm goes off is a loss?" Zero held his forehead helplessly.

"Of course, sleeping time is extremely precious! I won't ask how long it will take for the alarm to ring. In order to prevent me from taking a nap, remember to call me later, Zero." Chihaya Aine fell asleep again after she finished speaking. The last person with this ability was not sure whether it was Nobita Poseidon or the red-haired athlete from Hatsusei Academy.

However, the consequence of taking a nap was that there appeared a figure in the city running wildly in a corner with a piece of bread in its mouth and no one could see it.

"Didn't I ask you to call me, Zero?" Although Chihaya Aine had bread for breakfast in her mouth, it did not affect her bickering with Zero in the consciousness space.

"I can only say that Chihaya's family encountered Aine who was taking a nap, and she fell asleep in seconds, as strong as a monster. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't defeat her..." When Zero thought of the scene where he and the alarm clock tried for a long time but couldn't wake up Chihaya Aine, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Did I sleep that soundly?! Didn't I read before that taking a nap would put you in a light sleep state?" Chihaya Aine didn't expect that even Ultraman Zero in her consciousness couldn't wake her up.

"I can't use my telekinesis to throw a basin of water at you to wake you up, right?" Zero spread his hands in his consciousness space, expressing his helplessness.

"And the way you're rushing to school with a piece of bread in your mouth, doesn't it look just like the old-fashioned chance encounter we saw the other day?" There was even a hint of gloating in Cero's tone.

"In the routine, the places where you would bump your head are all at corners! How is that similar to the way we're climbing over rooftops and walls now where we have to avoid being seen?" Chihaya Aine said angrily after taking a bite of bread.

"Oh, your chance encounter has finally arrived," Zero teased his partner after spotting a certain person.

Chihaya Aine looked closely and saw a familiar figure with the aura of a small animal rummaging through the bushes on her path.

"Little Deng!" Chihaya Aine swallowed all the bread in her hand in a few gulps, then jumped down from a high place and landed next to the figure very lightly.

"Ah!" Takamatsu Deng, whose entire head had been buried in the bushes, quickly pulled his head out after hearing Chihaya Aine's familiar voice.

"Are you looking for a stone you like?" Chihaya Aine curiously leaned over.

"Well, I haven't looked for stones in this area yet." Gao Songdeng nodded repeatedly.

"It's good to focus on your personal interests and hobbies, but if you don't go to school now, you'll be late~" Chihaya Aine stretched out her hand to Takamatsu Deng who was squatting on the ground.

Takamatsu Deng held the hand that Chihaya Aine extended, and after being easily lifted up by Chihaya Aine, her face slightly reddened as she said, "Thank you, little Aine."

"Putting aside our relationship, there's no need to thank me for such a small favor~" Chihaya Aine waved her hand to indicate that there was no need for that.

The sunlight shines on the path, and the golden ribbon-like beams of light add a lot of color to the originally ordinary road.

Chihaya Ai and Takamatsu Touma walked in, basking in the warm sunshine, and couldn't help but sigh at the comfort and beauty of the way to school.

"I don't know how Soyorin plans to solve the problem of the stage and ask other girl bands to temporarily not hold outdoor performances today." Chihaya Aine was still a little curious about how Nagasaki Motoyo would solve these two problems.

"Trust Su Shi! Su Shi has always been very reliable, and there will be no problem this time." Gao Songdeng knew that his friend was under some pressure about this matter, so he encouraged him.

"Yeah!" After the conversation with Nagasaki Motoyo yesterday, Chihaya Aine knew that the other party was not the kind of person who would be careless about her friends' affairs. She would definitely try her best to do her best to achieve 200%.

"Good morning!" When they arrived near the gate of Hanaoka Girls' College, some classmates greeted Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng in a friendly manner.

Seeing this, Takamatsu Deng did not respond, but just shrank behind Chihaya Aine.

"Good morning~" Chihaya Aine greeted the other party with a smile on her face, and then made a gesture of "sorry, please bear with me" to Takamatsu Deng for hiding behind her without greeting her.

However, the other party obviously also knew something about the small animals in Group A of Yuqiu High School. He did not say anything, but just smiled to show his understanding.

Chihaya Aine originally wanted to encourage Takamatsu Deng to gather his courage and say hello to his classmates, but when she saw the little watermelon worm curled up in a ball behind her, she had to give up.

Chihaya Aine brought Takamatsu Touma to the classroom. After a few days of training, the students in Group A of Grade 1 were no longer surprised by such scenes.

Because they had left home a little late today, the phone rang not long after Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng sat down in their seats.

“Ding~ding~ding~ding~”

It was the same morning meeting as usual, but Chihaya Aine's thoughts had already flown into the consciousness space and she was discussing some important things with Zero.

"Does Zero have a way to protect everyone in the band and give them a certain degree of self-preservation?" Chihaya Aine thought. Since she couldn't stop everyone from getting involved in dangerous things, she would try to add some measures for them to protect themselves.

"If there is a way to contact Hikari, these problems would be easy to solve. Now you ask me this, but I don't have the scientific research ability." Although Zero now carries some props developed by Hikari, it is indeed a bit confusing to ask him to develop the props himself.

"What should I do then?" Chihaya Aine held her head and felt a headache.

"However, if we just make a pair of Ultraman Zero glasses that cannot transform and only has gun mode and has some alarm functions, it can still be done." Ultraman Zero can actually implement a plan B.

"Cero, you gasp for breath when you speak, but it's better to have something than nothing! Let's get started without further delay!" Chihaya Aine was in a state of "a ray of hope after a dark period" at this time.

"I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious... We are still in class. I will teach you how to do it during lunch break." Zero didn't know who his impatient partner was like.

"Hehehe, I'm just concerned about the safety of others." Chihaya Aine also realized that it was still class time.

“Ding~ding~ding~ding~”

As Chihaya Aine anxiously waited, the long morning class finally passed.

"Deng, let's go to the club activity room quickly!" Chihaya Aine grabbed Takamatsu Deng's lunch box and stacked it with her own, then held Takamatsu Deng's hand with her free right hand.

Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng walked hand in hand through the teaching building and headed straight for the club activity building. This scene was commonplace for other people in Haneda Girls' College, but only the figure with blue hair was still silently watching the two people running.

"Huff, huff." Takamatsu Deng put his hands on his knees and gasped for breath the moment he entered the astronomy department's activity room. This long-distance run was too difficult for a physically weak person like Takamatsu Deng.

"Sorry to hold

"I'm so sorry, Xiao Deng! I was so anxious that I didn't notice your physical condition." Seeing this, Chihaya Aine quickly clasped her hands together and apologized to Takamatsu Deng.

"Why is Aine so anxious today? Is there something urgent?" Takamatsu Deng didn't care too much about the fact that her physical strength was drained. She was more concerned about why Chihaya Aine, who usually took care of others, was so anxious today.

"Because Zero told me in class just now that he has a way to provide you all with some alarms and weapons for self-defense." Chihaya Aine touched her head embarrassedly.

"You say this as if I took the initiative to talk to you while you were in class..." Zero's speechless voice sounded in Gao Songdeng's heart.

"Mr. Zero, what is the situation that Aine mentioned?" Takamatsu Deng was quite curious about the alarm and self-defense weapons that Chihaya Aine mentioned.

"Aine is a little worried that if you get too deeply involved in her affairs, you'll be in danger from the enemy, so she asked me to prepare some weapons and protection for you." Zero sold out Chihaya Aine completely.

"Little Aine..." Takamatsu Deng looked into Chihaya Aine's gray eyes with his amber eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

"Hehe, everyone is willing to work so hard to help me, so it's my responsibility to provide an extra layer of insurance for everyone's safety." Chihaya Aine felt that this was what she should do.

"Help each other!" Gao Songdeng's voice was full of determination.

"Huh?" Chihaya Aine didn't know how to respond.
