Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"Ahhh, this~ This is the sweat I sweated during the previous battle." Chihaya Aine thought about the action she made on the spur of the moment, which ended up hurting herself, so she had to quickly use her clever brain to make up an excuse.

"Really? I'm glad you're okay, Ain." After hearing that it was just sweat, Takamatsu Deng also breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, no, no, Deng, this girl is obviously lying to you! When she came back from the battle and played music just now, there was no sweat on her body at all." Of course, Shiina Ritsuki could only say these words to herself in her heart.

The girls in the band were chatting happily on the open-air stage, and their laughter echoed for a long time in the clear sky.

"Everyone, I have a request..." Sero's voice suddenly appeared in the minds of the girls in the band.

"What's wrong, Zero?" Chihaya Aine was also startled by the sudden voice of her partner who shared the same mind with her.

"As long as we can help, we will definitely help." Gao Songdeng nodded repeatedly to indicate that he would

Do your best.

"Deng-chan is right. Mr. Zero has helped us many times so far. Now it's our turn to repay him." Nagasaki Suyo, who adjusted her mentality, also expressed her attitude.

"I will do my best." Shiina Riki has long wanted to find an opportunity to thank Zero for saving Takamatsu Deng.

In the consciousness space, Zero didn't expect that his words would make the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere become as serious as the previous battle.

"Did everyone misunderstand something?" Zero asked cautiously in a low voice.

"Huh? Aren't you going to talk about monsters, aliens, or the little golden man Absolute Tartarus, Zero?" Several big question marks popped up in Chihaya Aine's head.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who only discusses monsters, aliens and the little golden man Absolut Tartarus with you?" In the consciousness space, Zero couldn't help but hold his forehead and said.

"Ahaha, then what do you want to say, Zero?" Chihaya Aine touched her smart head embarrassedly.

"After listening to your live performance, I feel like playing a song for the first time in a long time." After the atmosphere where everyone thought a fight was about to break out, Zero in the consciousness space felt a little embarrassed for some reason after saying this.

"Is that all?! I really thought that you, Zero, had discovered some monster, alien, or even found the location of the little golden man Absolute Tartarus, and planned to solve the problem once and for all." Chihaya Aine patted her chest, making a bang bang bang sound.

"Mr. Zero, can you also play the piano?" Takamatsu Deng's beautiful amber eyes twinkled, "I'm very curious." Several people seemed to be about to turn into entities and rush out.

"Hehe, don't look at me like this, I also know a little bit about playing the guitar." In the consciousness space, Zero subconsciously touched his nose.

“How amazing!!!” Gao Songdeng exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, and his fair and tender hands kept clapping.

"Mr. Zero, are you planning to play 'Kasuga Shadow' with us or have you prepared other songs?" In Nagasaki Suyo's heart, Zero, who is of one mind with Chihaya Aine, is naturally also a member of the band.

"I already have an idea for the song." Cerro had already decided on the song to play.

"Now that everything is ready, let me turn into the east wind." As soon as Chihaya Aine finished speaking, she transferred control of her body to Zero.

Having regained control of his body, Zero gently stroked the guitar in his hand.

After nodding to Nagasaki Suyo, Takamatsu Deng and Shiina Riki beside him, Zero turned around and walked towards the microphone with his guitar slung over his shoulder.

After taking a deep breath, Zero stroked the guitar strings with the pick, and Chihaya Aine's cherry lips opened slightly.

"Under the blue sky

The wind carries time

As long as there is courage

Dreams will definitely come true

With tears in my eyes! Hey! Hey! Keep running!

On the distant red horizon

Only then can there be hope for tomorrow

More than anyone, anything

I just want to protect you

Anywhere, anytime

I just want to protect you

Oh-oh-oh for crying out loud the world will never end!

As long as sadness exists, people will be lost in the night

As long as you don't give up your dreams, they will always be by your side

Ultraman Dyna

Embrace longing

Hey! Hey! Close your eyes

The future is in your heart

No one can compare to nothing

I only believe in love

No matter when or where, I only believe in love

Oh oh oh shout out loud there is only one world

For the one I love

Anyone will come back

For the nostalgic warmth

When can I be surrounded by light?

No one can compare to nothing

I just want to protect you

No matter where or when, I just want to protect you

La la la la

I just want to protect you

La la la la

I just want to protect you

Oh oh oh once again

Oh oh oh shout loudly the world exists forever"

As the song came to an end, Cero slowly stopped what he was doing, with only satisfaction in his heart. At this moment, he finally understood the throbbing in the hearts of the girls in the band after the live performance just now.

"The underlying rules of the era of girl bands are so terrifying!" After silently feeling the throbbing in his heart, Zero sighed from the bottom of his heart.

"I do feel great after the live performance." Chihaya Aine in the consciousness space had a giraffe-like expression, giving people the illusion that she would say "Wagalimas" in the next second.

"Ah, you're right." Zero nodded in agreement.

"Mr. Zero sings so well!" Gao Songdeng clapped happily, and his fair little hands turned a little red from clapping.

"What's the name of this song?" Nagasaki Suyo asked seriously. The line that Zero played just now, "More than anyone or anything, I just want to protect you. No matter when or where, I just want to protect you", completely hit Nagasaki Suyo's strike zone.

"'Just Want to Protect You', the song is called 'Just Want to Protect You'!" Cero said the song title seriously.

"Hehe, hehe, hehe, I just want to protect you~" Gao Songdeng also hummed softly.

"It's not that I just know a little bit!" Yao Lenai gave his evaluation seriously.

"I feel like our band would be better if it were optimized by a certain pink-haired guy..." Shiina Riki lowered his head in thought, as if he was seriously considering optimizing a certain pink-haired guy who always liked Tang Xiao.

"??? Zero, you just played one song and I'm going to be optimized by the band???" Chihaya Aine in the consciousness space had already squatted down with her head in her hands, curled up in a ball, and cried non-stop.

"Maybe that's why Shiina Riki-san always argues with you..." Zero didn't say the four words "just teasing you" directly, leaving the last bit of dignity to his partner Chihaya Aine who shared the same mind with him.

"Ritsuki-chan, you can't say such things, even if it's a joke. Aine-chan will be sad." Nagasaki Suyo smiled and clasped her hands together. Although her words were soft and gentle, they also showed her determination to never give in.

"Are you her mother?!" Shiina Riki was speechless looking at the smiling Nagasaki Suyo. The other party now looked like an old hen protecting her chicks.

"Lixi-chan, what were you saying just now? I didn't hear it clearly." Nagasaki Suyo lowered her beautiful face slightly, and her blue eyes were covered with a layer of light shadow.

The pressure that Shiina Riki felt at this time was even greater than when he was carrying out the plan to shoot Dada. In other words, he was sweating profusely.

"Su Shi... Li Xi..." Takamatsu Deng's soft and weak voice interrupted the conversation between the two.

Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki immediately realized that their quarrel had made Takamatsu Deng worried.

After exchanging glances and confirming the truce declaration from each other's eyes, Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Riki began their own lamp-coaxing actions.

"Don't get me wrong, Deng-chan. I was just joking with Li Xi. We didn't mean to have a fight~" Nagasaki Suyo smiled and looked at Takamatsu Deng.

"Yes, yes, Su Shi is right, we were just joking.

. "Shiina Riki nodded frantically, indicating that Nagasaki Suyo was right.

"So Su Shi and Li Xi were just joking?" The tears accumulated in Gao Songdeng's amber eyes came and went quickly. Anyone who saw this scene should agree with the saying "Women are made of water."

As for Lenai, she was already hanging on Zero, staring intently at the music score of "I Just Want to Protect You" displayed on the Xio terminal in Zero's hand.

"Actually, I can transfer the music score directly to your Xio terminal or mobile phone. You don't have to lie on me like this to read it, Kaname." Zero always felt like he had become the cat climbing frame for Kaname, the beautiful cat with heterochromia eyes.

"Look!" Yao Lenai jumped off Cero's body, landed steadily on the ground, and ran back to her guitar. She couldn't wait to start playing the new song she had learned.

The melodious prelude of "Just Want to Protect You" sounded on the open-air stage. Nagasaki Motoyo, Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Riki looked at where Zero was standing in surprise.

After Zero spread his hands to indicate that it had nothing to do with him, Nagasaki Motoyo, Takamatsu Deng and Shiina Riki immediately turned their eyes towards Rana Kaname.

As expected, Kaname Lenai, with her silver hair, heterochromic eyes and cat-like aura, was fully immersed in playing the guitar song "I Just Want to Protect You".

"Live, don't you want to continue?" After enjoying the performance, Yao Lenai stopped what she was doing and turned around to look at the other people on the open-air stage with her beautiful eyes like the sun and the moon.

"Eh? Lenai-chan, are you talking about a live performance of "Just Want to Protect You"? " Nagasaki Suyo was also surprised by Lenai's words.

"Even if we want to play this song, we can't memorize the score as quickly as you, Stray Cat." This is not the first time that Tatsuki Shiina has dealt with geniuses who don't understand ordinary people.

"What a man!" Sero smiled and gave a thumbs up to the girls in the band.

"Mr. Zero?" Takamatsu Deng was a little confused about what Zero meant by "real man".

"A real man! In this song "I Just Want to Protect You", the desire to protect someone is more important than the technique. The desire to protect others is the soul of this song." Cero also wanted to hear "I Just Want to Protect You" performed by the girls in the band.

"I'm sending the music score to your Xio terminal now. You can take a look at it or practice it first. If you don't understand something, you're welcome to ask me." After Zero swiped a few times on the Xio terminal and successfully sent the music score to the rest of the band, he returned control of his body to Chihaya Aine.

"Aine, you have to practice with everyone too." In the consciousness space, Zero was proud of himself for assisting Chihaya Aine again, thinking that it would be hard to find such a good partner even with a lantern.

"What! Zero, you are plotting against me!" Chihaya Aine, who regained control of her body, let out a groundhog scream.

Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki, who were looking at the music score, and Takamatsu Touma, who was looking at the lyrics, all raised their heads and looked at Chihaya Aine, who was holding her head and howling to the sky.

PS: I won’t ask for votes today, I’ll just draw a circle and go

Volume 1: Chapter 62: What I Think

Band leader, fashion icon, London-educated martial arts master, Tang Xiaowanshancai—these are all positions and reputations I, the "King of Tokyo Ten Thousand Females," have held, each one stronger and more prestigious. My name is Chihaya Aine! The world's strongest band girl. Since my debut, my role and character have continuously grown, bringing my popularity to a level only rivaled by my bandmate, Nagasaki Suyo. On par? Humph, perhaps my current popularity has already far surpassed that of my bandmate... And to ensure I maintain this unrivaled popularity, I will do whatever is necessary, no matter the cost. Besides dealing with those who disobey me, they must also offer me anything they can. If anyone disobeys, even if she's my closest friend, I, Chihaya Aine, will not let them go. Because this is my way; my... path...

...Maybe some viewers don't agree with me. But when the vast majority of the world trusts me; considers me the most important character, the most lovable ANON Tokyo, how could I be wrong?! No. ...Even if I completely rob players of their remaining Star Stones in the limited pool, it doesn't matter. As long as fools don't know, and the other satellites don't dare to resist or fear me, how could I possibly be wrong? Even if I'm wrong, it will ultimately be the fault of Bushido, Bilibili, and the players who didn't buy me! Without my personality and immense popularity, they would still live in the painful world of being skipped over by players that day! So, all the band girls who don't want to be skipped over, who wish to be sidelined, must love me. Pledge loyalty to me, respect me, adore me... Appreciate me as the leader of the band. Swear to be the Lord of Fashion for me, even to the death. I'm the London-educated Martial God... I'm the third anniversary limited edition Maruyama Aya... I, I... ...I'm the Tokyo Ten Thousand Female Queen!!!

Everyone’s good mother, Bangbang’s strongest comedian, divorced rich wife… These are the identities and status that I have had or have had now in my destiny [divorced rich wife]… Some destinies and responsibilities that I don’t care about but cannot get rid of.

Others call me Nagasaki Suyo.

I've been teased by Chihaya Aine all my life, and I've done things I don't like to do in order to keep "CRYCHIC" going. Falling in love with a white moonlight I shouldn't have fallen in love with, and meeting Chihaya Aine, a woman I shouldn't have met, has led to my life being embroiled in endless comedy performances and motherhood.

The word "band" seemed to be tied to my fate. Even with Xiaomu's help, even with the loving cucumbers he'd gifted me to support the band, even with my utmost devotion to protecting that warm home, I still missed the chance to save "CRYCHIC." This left a deep wound in my heart, leaving me with a final feeling of guilt and powerlessness. I finally hid in my own home. Chihaya Aine still cared about me. She said she would endure this inevitable fate with me, but I refused to believe in fate. Even though I was a humble woman, I still convinced myself that it was all just a coincidence, something that could be solved with wisdom and patience. I wouldn't let misfortune lead me to deliberately do the opposite, to be hypocritical or to kneel down. I would only do what my heart told me was right and follow my heart. If I was asked to form a band, I would form a band. If I was asked to be straightforward, I would be straightforward. If my life allowed for the existence of QQ, I would absolutely make it happen. No matter what others say, or whether I can preserve myself in the future, I, Nagasaki Suyo, will do the right thing... Fight for the band, fight for the peace and order of the era of girl bands, fight for my lost "CRYCHIC", fight for the school, no matter whether they understand it or not, and most importantly, fight for love.

Fight! Fight! Fight! Today, Nagasaki Suyo will fight her last battle!!!

When Chihaya Aine was daydreaming, a fierce hellish funeral hand knife hit her head hard.

　"It hurts!" Although with her current physical condition, this knife attack was not even a tickle, Chihaya Aine still took the opportunity to squat on the ground and hugged her head tightly.

"Don't get distracted during practice and think about random things." Nagasaki Motoyo sighed. She really wanted to ask why she, a bassist, was teaching Chihaya Aion guitar.

Going back a little in time...

"Huh?! Zero, you plotted against me!" Chihaya Aine jumped three feet high on the open-air stage, and this was not an exaggeration.

"Hasn't you already mastered this song, Zero?! Then you just need to play it more often like before so that I can develop muscle memory." Chihaya Aine thought that this time she could learn a new song as easily as before.

"Aine, why are you going back again..." In the consciousness space, Zero held his forehead helplessly. It seemed that his partner's temper, who would rather lie down than sit and like to play tricks, would never improve.

"Before, I only resorted to that method because time was tight and there was no time left, and I also had an unshirkable responsibility. If it were like this every time, we would have to face the same question again: Who is actually playing in a band?" Cero advised earnestly in the consciousness space.
