Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

"Hehe, I don't deserve to be called a social butterfly for nothing~" Aiyin felt a little proud in her heart, but when she thought about how she had already decided to start a new campus life here, she thought that maybe it would be better to start over.

"Just call me Aine." Aine put down the chair in her hand.

"Then I'll call you Aine~"

"The name Aine is so cute~"

Two short-haired girls on the left and right offered their compliments.

"It must be very hard for you to start school now because of family reasons?" The only girl with long hair in the three-person team was concerned about something else.

“Yeah~ It’s really hard. Everyone already has their own circle.” Aine made a cute gesture of placing her arms in front of her chest.

"That's right." The three people answered in unison.

"Do you know Xiao Deng?" The short-haired girl asked her biggest question bluntly.

"Huh?" Aine asked in confusion.

"I was wondering about that too!" Obviously the red-haired girl was also very curious.

"You two had a talk this morning, right?" The green-haired girl turned to look at Aine who was sitting next to her.

"No, no, I just happened to see her picking up stones." Aiyin quickly waved her hands to deny it.

"Ah!" Then the three of them said in unison with smiles on their faces.

"She would occasionally pick up some random things."

"As expected of Yuqiu's little natural."

“It gives people the feeling of a small animal.”

"Like a squirrel~"

"Have I finished my topic? So that girl is the class favorite?" Aine complained helplessly.

"So this kind of style is popular among girls now?" Cero felt that he could no longer keep up with the preferences of young people.

“How cute~” In order to fit in with the new group, Aine could only agree with a smile.

While Aine was struggling with her inner struggle, time passed by minute by minute, and soon it was time to go home from school.

Aiyin was a little concerned about Takamatsu Deng who was standing in front of the blackboard in a daze, but after all, she was just a newcomer.

I just arrived and didn't want to attract too much attention.

“Let’s go back together~” After zipping up her backpack and putting away her chair, Aine invited the three people who were going to have lunch together during the lunch break today.

"Well, let's go back~"

Aine quickly noticed the instruments on the girls' backs. In fact, it wasn't just them, most of the people in the classroom were carrying instruments. This was the norm in this world.

"Are you guys playing in a band?" Aine asked curiously.

"It's only just started a short while ago."

"Pinch~"

"Hey...it seems like everyone is playing in a band?" Aine looked around and found that there were so many girls carrying musical instruments that it was a bit scary.

“There are quite a lot of people playing in our school~”

"Because the seniors have formed several amazing bands."

"There's a band called Afterglow in the third grade, and the student council president is also a member~"

“Hey!” Aine exclaimed in amazement, but in her heart she was thinking, “This is exactly me in junior high school!!!”

"Although PasPale has graduated, there are also Roselia's Ako-senpai and RAS's Lock-senpai among the second-year students~"

“Everyone is really forming a band.” Aine once again checked around the classmates around her.

"Light, bye."

"I also want to hold a cool concert~"

The two people who were about to leave the classroom were also carrying musical instruments.

When he heard someone calling his name, Gao Songdeng just looked back but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Gao Songdeng was more concerned about the two-color red magnetic buckles that he had rearranged on the blackboard in front of him.

"Yeah!" Gao Songdeng looked at his own work in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s hard to sing while playing the guitar.”

"It's time to practice more."

"Xiao Deng shouldn't be playing in a band, right?"

"Where's Aine-chan?"

A sudden question pulled Aine’s gaze away from Deng.

"Huh? I've played with it a little bit." After thinking for a moment, Aine gave what she thought was a relatively appropriate answer.

"What instrument are you responsible for?" After knowing that Aine had also played in a band, the trio became more interested.

"Let's just consider her the guitar vocalist." Aine's face was full of smiles.

"Me too, me too!" The girl with short red hair was quite excited.

"If you don't mind, do you want to play together?"

"Hey!" Aine touched her hair subconsciously.

"We want to play Afterglow's song!"

“So I hope to find another guitarist.”

"Mmmmmmm!"

"Guitar? That means... standing in the corner." Aine has already begun to imagine a scene in the near future where she will be curled up in the corner of the band and playing the guitar while the band is performing.

"Thank you, I'll think about it."

This is a lie! This is just a polite remark made by the social butterfly Aine when she needs to say no.

PS: I got hungry while writing, so I ate half of my Tustin Burger (2333). Having a stable place to stay will make it easier to continue updating. I really want to continue writing this book, to let more people know how bright the light in the heart of this young girl, Aine, is. Finally, I still have to ask for votes, and I'm going to sleep now. I have to pack my bags and leave tomorrow.

Volume 1: Chapter 9: The Blue-Haired Girl at the Piano

"I'm back~" Aine stumbled towards the sofa.

"Bang!" When they were halfway there, Aiyin's schoolbag had already slipped off her shoulders.

"I'm so tired! My face is frozen from smiling!" The moment she approached the sofa, Aine half-lay on it.

"But I did make some friends. For a first day, it was pretty good."

"Do you want me to help you with the treatment?" Zero saw all the efforts that Aine made today to integrate into the new environment.

"Although I really want you to heal me directly, Zero, forget it. There are some things I have to move forward on my own." Aine raised her face and rubbed her face that was stiff from smiling.

But for some reason, Aine remembered what happened before she returned home.

Aine shook her head and put the memories of London behind her. She stood up quickly and skipped towards the guitar in the corner of the room.

"Fortunately, I brought my guitar." Aiyin turned around and sat down on the soft sofa.

Because it had been left for too long, the guitar was covered with a light layer of dust. Aiyin turned it over gently and blew on it with her mouth.

"Cough cough cough." It was obvious that Aiyin had no clear idea of ​​how much dust the guitarist had accumulated. The visible dust made her cough uncontrollably a few times.

"Dang~"

"Ah?"

"Deng Deng~"

"Ah?"

"I can teach you guitar~" Sero is still confident in his guitar skills.

"Can aliens play guitar?" Aiyin now looked like a dead fish lying on the sofa.

"Actually, I also formed a band~" Cerro couldn't help but recall the glorious past years.

"If you want quick training, I can try to train you the same way my father trained my master."

"Hahaha, there's no need for quick success. Let's just take it step by step." For some reason, when Aine heard Zero say, "The way my father trained my master back then," she seemed to hear the sound of a car.

All she did all night was practice guitar, and after a hard day, Aiyin fell into a deep sleep.

It was a peaceful night, the temperature and humidity were very comfortable and pleasant, and even Tokyo, which never sleeps, seemed to have fallen into a sweet dream.

"Hmm? What is this strong radio wave?" While Aine was sleeping soundly, Zero discovered that a strange radio wave suddenly appeared in the sky above Tokyo.

After a while, according to Zero's perception, this strange radio wave disappeared in the Tokyo K area.

"In other words, it might be the little golden man's doing again?" On the way to school, Aine felt a headache after hearing Zero talk about the mysterious radio wave last night.

"It could also be another alien." Zero always felt that the radio wave seemed to have been mentioned by Teacher Eddie when he was tutoring him before.

"Then let's find some time to go to Tokyo's K area tonight." Aine felt that the frequency of her work after she and Zero merged was almost catching up with the office workers who were randomly refreshed on the Shinkansen every day.

"This is the only way. Thank you for your hard work, Aine." Thinking about the troubles that had been happening recently, Zero felt a little sorry for this girl who was in the same boat with him.

"It's okay, it's okay. Since I have become one with Cero, then your responsibility is also my responsibility." Aine said that Cero did not need to feel guilty.

"Ding~Ding~Ding Ding~" The school bell of Yuqiu Academy rang on time.

"Sorry! Although I do want to join a band, I'm really not that familiar with Afterglow yet." Aine put her hands together and apologized to the trio she had just made friends with yesterday.

"Don't worry about that~"

"Yes."

The trio all expressed their understanding for Aine and told her there was no need to apologize.

“No, I really appreciate your

Invitation." Although the new friends' band did not meet her requirements, Aiyin thanked them from the bottom of her heart.

"Shall we go to the K area now to look for the mysterious radio waves from last night?" Aine asked Cero.

"No, let's wait until night." Zero still wanted to act in secret as much as possible. After all, he was still in a situation where the enemy was in the dark and he was in the light.

"Then I'll go see if there are any clubs I can join." In this case, Aine decided to continue with the plan she had made before and find a club that suits her.

"If you want to be the center, a guitar vocalist is better. Then the other members you need are..." Aine looked around the school bulletin board.

"Why is there no light music club?"

"How about going to the wind band club?"

At this time, a beautiful and pleasant piano sound was carried into Ain's ears by the wind. Ain turned her head and looked towards the source of the piano sound.

"Let's try to make the person who plays the piano the first member of our band!" Aine quickly took action.

Arriving at the door of the music room, Aiyin slowly slowed down her pace, and then gently put her ear against the door of the music room.

After standing there and listening for a while, Aine decided to catch her first Bonkomon.

Pushing open the door of the music room, all the light in the room seemed to converge on the figure sitting in front of the piano.

The girl with long blue hair was immersed in the music called "The Girl with Flaxen Hair". She was emitting a dazzling light as she played the piano.

After the song ended, Aine's applause of "pa pa pa" pulled the girl who was still immersed in the music back to the real world. She opened her eyes to reveal a pair of golden eyes that symbolized nobility.

“You play the piano so well!” Aine ran towards the blue-haired girl with a smile on her face.

"Are you from the wind band?" The blue-haired girl crossed her hands in front of her body. This kind of natural demeanor could not be cultivated in a day or two.

"No, I just came in to listen."

After receiving the answer, the blue girl stood up from her chair and was about to cover the piano in front of her.

"Excuse me"

"Will you form a band with me?"

Aine chose to go straight A.

"Huh?" The blue-haired girl's hands gripping the keyboard cover seemed to have been paused.
