Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"But aren't we partners with one mind and one soul? I am you and you are me, so isn't it the same no matter who plays in the band?" Chihaya Aine's words left Zero speechless.

"I can't argue with you..." After saying this in the consciousness space, Zero used the ultimate secret of "playing dead" that only people at the "Sea Emperor" level can do.

"Cero? Cero? Come out!" Chihaya Aine's voice echoed in the consciousness space for a long time, while Cero covered his ears tightly and would not make a sound no matter how Chihaya Aine called out.

"Okay, okay, stop messing around, Aine-chan. Mr. Zero just sent us a message. She asked us to supervise your practice carefully." Nagasaki Motoyo patted Chihaya Aine's shoulder with a smile to show encouragement.

"Everyone, who can teach Aine-chan?" In Nagasaki Suyo's mind, the best candidate was of course Lenna, followed by Shiina Tatsuki.

"I don't know how to teach people~" Yao Lenai stretched and swayed.

Nagasaki Motoyo turned her gaze to Shiina Tatsuki who was sitting next to the drum set.

"I haven't fully understood this new song myself, and I still have to help Deng." Shiina Riki said she was unable to help.

"Although I really want to help Aion, I know nothing about guitar..." Takamatsu Deng was a little dejected because he couldn't help Chihaya Aion.

"There's no other way. I have to teach Aine-chan." Nagasaki Suyo breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't expect that this responsibility would come back to her after all the twists and turns.

"Hey? Soyorin, will you teach me how to play the guitar?" Chihaya Aine's suspicious eyes kept scanning Nagasaki Soyo's body.

"Even I know a little more than those who only knew chords before." Nagasaki Suyo hit Chihaya Aion mercilessly.

"Wow, wow, I didn't mean to do that." Chihaya Aine hugged the guitar in her arms and was about to cry again.

"Okay, okay, let's practice together. I'll stand next to you, and I'll teach you if there's anything you don't know or do wrong." Nagasaki Motoyo touched the head of Chihaya Aine, who looked like a big pink-haired puppy in front of her.

So there was the scene before, where Chihaya Aine was distracted during practice and was hit on the head by Nagasaki Motoyo with the Hell Funeral Hand Knife.

"Stop squatting on the ground with your head in your hands and wasting time like this. With my knife skills, I can't even tickle you, right?" Nagasaki Suyo rubbed her slightly red palm that had just chopped Chihaya Aine's head.

"Exposed?" Chihaya Aine listlessly stopped squatting with her head in her hands, straightened her legs and stood up from the ground.

"Hitting your head is like hitting a steel plate. It would be a miracle if it hurts." Nagasaki Motoyo didn't expect that Chihaya Aine actually thought she could get away with it. Veins bulged on her forehead and her fists stiffened.

Nagasaki Suyo took a deep breath and told herself in her heart not to hit this silly pink-haired girl, otherwise it would be her hand that would get hurt.

"Aine-chan, if you don't practice, everyone else will have already learned it by then~" Nagasaki Motoyo gestured to the large pink-haired dog to look at Takamatsu Touma, who had already started singing, and Shiina Tatsuki, who was playing the drums and providing harmony for Takamatsu Touma. Of all the people present, Rakuna was the quickest to learn "Only Want to Protect You."

Seeing this, Chihaya Aine's eyes became sharp. Although it was true that she liked to be lazy, what Chihaya Aine didn't want to do was to hold back her band members.

"Hum, hum, hum." Chihaya Aion was concentrating on playing the guitar in her hand. Perhaps it was her talent and her wholehearted dedication, or maybe it was because Cero had played it once before, but at this moment, Chihaya Aion felt that she was playing "Just Want to Protect You" as if she was assisted by God, and dancing musical notes kept flowing out from the guitar in her hand.

Nagasaki Motoyo on the side quickly adjusted her state, and the bass in her hand gradually caught up with Chihaya Aine's rhythm.

"What an interesting woman!" Seeing this, Kaname Rakuna came back to her senses from her lazy state and joined the performance of Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo.

Shiina Riki, who was originally having a private lesson with Takamatsu Deng, also looked in surprise in the direction of the guitar sound. She subconsciously thought that Lenai was getting drunk again, but she didn't expect that the first guitar sound belonged to Chihaya Aine.

"As expected, another genius?" Shiina Tatsuki had already had this idea when playing "Kasuga Shadow" in the rehearsal room earlier. This time, Chihaya Aine's identity as a genius was completely confirmed.

"Then I'll go." Takamatsu Deng, who was moved by the trio's ensemble, felt that something in his heart was eager to be expressed through his singing.

"Well, let's work hard together, Deng." After watching Takamatsu Deng's back as he walked to the microphone, Shiina Riki quickly adjusted his state.

Standing in front of the microphone, Takamatsu Deng first looked at Chihaya Aine and Nagasaki Motoyo beside her. After getting a nod from them, she wanted to express something that had just emerged in her heart into a song.

"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"

After the song ended, the girls in the band on the open-air stage were unable to come back to their senses for a long time, until a loud applause sounded in their minds.

"Pa pa pa!" The owner of this applause was none other than Zero, who was still in the consciousness space just now.

"Very good! Your performance this time is much better than when I played and sang just now!" Cerro gave his high praise without hesitation.

"How could that be? We just started playing on a whim. Let's not talk about the rap part for now. Mr. Zero, your guitar solo skills are much better than ours." When it comes to the quality of music, Shiina Riki has his own opinions.

"Mr. Riki Shiina, you are right. You are not as good as me in terms of technique, but you have already mastered the most important thing in your performance just now." Zero also has a teaching side.

"Mr. Zero, what you meant is 'the desire to protect others', right?" Takamatsu Deng, who was the most thoughtful, gave his own answer.

"That's right! Although your skills are still immature and your proficiency is not high enough, I felt something decisive in your performance, and that is 'the desire to protect others'." Zero was also very happy to hear such a performance.

"'Want to protect other people's hearts'?" Nagasaki Suyo fell into deep thought.

"This may be a bit too abstract. You might as well think back to what came into your mind when you were playing just now." Cerro immediately pointed out the key point.

"What you were thinking just now?" Shiina Riki lowered her head, her pretty face completely hidden behind the drum set, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.

Volume 1: Chapter 63: Special Drinks

"Lamp! You are the Aphrodite of my destiny. The spring water along the Seine River is not as beautiful as you, nor are the roses of Bulgaria as beautiful as you. You are a divine gift, a gift from God to me, to save me, to baptize and elevate my soul. You are the ray of light in my bleak sublimation, you illuminate my dark life, you fill my black and white world with color, and give me new life. Seeing you, I feel like I am in a fairyland, swinging in Ecuador, surfing in Hawaii, flying sky lanterns in Chiang Mai, boating in the Melissani Caves in Greece, and walking in the air in Cappadocia, Turkey. Your glance... A smile dances in my heart, and all my heartbeats follow yours. I run, I sprint, I raise my arms high, I cheer, and I dance tango on RiNG's stage. It's so beautiful, you are a god, I am so moved by your beauty that tears can't stop flowing, gushing out. My tears spurt out from my eye sockets with high pressure, piercing through the screen, flying over Mount Everest, flying over the Great Rift Valley of East Africa, flying out of the solar system and traveling through the sky; merging into the Amazon River, merging into the Milky Way, and becoming clouds and mist in my hot and scorching heart, slanting down and sweeping in all directions. "What I was thinking about in my mind, Tatsuki Shiina couldn't say it.

"Space, grandma and matcha parfait!" Yao Lenai raised three fingers to show how many things were on her mind.

Yao Lenai's answer made everyone on the open-air stage have the same idea: Is this guy really a cat?

"Everyone!" Takamatsu Deng's voice brought everyone back to reality.

"Deng, do you want to say something? Don't be in a hurry, take your time." Shiina Riki immediately asked with concern.

"What I want to talk about is everyone! When I was singing just now, I was thinking not only of everyone in "CRYCHIC", but also of everyone on the stage now." Takamatsu Deng poured out everything in her heart in one breath. Of course, what the girl didn't say was that among the "everyone" in her mind, Chihaya Aine always occupied the most screen time.

"Hey~ Did Soyorin ever think of me when he was playing?" Chihaya Aine, who did not get the explosive answer she expected, was now like a boneless snake wrapped around Nagasaki Soyo.

Chihaya Aine grabbed Nagasaki Suyo's beautiful fingers, which were as green as jade, and began to gently shake the jade hand in her hand while trying her best to control her strength.

"Hey~ Is there one or not?" Nagasaki Motoyo gently tapped her chin with the index finger of her free left hand, her tone slightly teasing.

"Soyorin must be thinking about me, right?" Chihaya Aine raised her palm-sized little face and looked at Nagasaki Suyo with anticipation.

"My answer is yes~" This time, Nagasaki Suyo's fingers lightly tapped on Chihaya Aine's thin lips like early cherry blossoms.

"You responded to me so readily, soyorin, you really made up something to deal with me, didn't you?" Chihaya Aine put her hands on her hips complacently. She was proud of herself for seeing through Nagasaki Suyo once again.

"What she said about diamonds should be 99% true..." Of course, Zero only dared to say this to himself in his consciousness, and he had to be careful to avoid letting Chihaya Aine, a blockhead, know the truth.

"Oh, as expected, I can't successfully deceive Aine-chan." Nagasaki Motoyo clapped her hands together with a smile and looked at Chihaya Aine with a sincere tone, as if the big pink-haired dog standing not far away really saw through her conspiracy and caused her to fail miserably.

"Your sudden smile to me is like the sweet fragrance of flowers, I really hope it will never fade away

I can hear your voice, which is ethereal and full of transparency.

I can see your illusory, trembling, dreamlike figure.

I want to hug you, your fragrance is as sweet as the spring breeze

Even though time passes, you still shine like a flickering light

This sweet and lonely figure, how can I reach...

Can't stop, just thinking about you

I want to stay by your side forever, you are the light in my heart that only I can see

Some times are very difficult for me, and I am eager to wait for that moment.

All the good days are coming to me, and some things are just beginning...

My life changed dramatically in an instant.

You know that mere words mean nothing to me,

The time I spend with you gives me endless motivation.

If I said that to you, you would definitely laugh, right?

do you know?

Under another sky, we once met

You and I will accompany each other to the end

And those days with smiles and hope when only you live in my life

So I will tell you everything about you, and I will never stop."

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't bring herself to say that she had composed a whole modern limerick during the performance, so she had to use this method to make Chihaya Aine, the person who loved asking questions the most, give up.

"So, Aine-chan, what were you thinking about when you were singing just now?" Nagasaki Motoyo could feel the passion that Chihaya Aine expressed through the music during the performance just now.

"Me?" Chihaya Aine stretched out her right hand.

He pointed his index finger at himself and tried hard to get his head towards his right index finger.

When Nagasaki Suyo heard the question about what Chihaya Aine was thinking, everyone on the open-air stage, regardless of whether they cared or not, pricked up their ears and wanted to find out.

"What I was thinking just now was very simple, that is, I must protect everyone and this world." As the only known person in the world who can fight against monsters and aliens, Chihaya Aine has a great character and believes that she has an obligation to stand up and fight for this world.

"Although the answer is a little unexpected, it's certainly the kind of answer Aine-chan would give." Nagasaki Suyo lowered her head, her beautiful blue pupils lightly shadowed by her bangs.

"I think Aion's idea is great!" Takamatsu Deng's big eyes blinked as he looked at his little sun Chihaya Aion with admiration.
