Chihaya Aine is a member of the team Zero

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."

"Damn it! I'd really like to have the light touch my head! But this guy acts like he's suffered some kind of injustice." Shiina Tatsuki muttered with gritted teeth after coming back to his senses.

"It's okay, it's okay. I was just joking. If you want to touch it, just touch it." Chihaya Aine realized that the second hand just now was Takamatsu Deng, who usually looked weak and like a harmless little animal.

"Then I won't be polite!" With Chihaya Aine's permission, Takamatsu Deng, contrary to his previous gentle and careful touch, the movements of his hands are constantly challenging his own limits.

So what is Yao Lenai doing at this time?

The answer is that he is reading a book called "One Hundred Ways to Eat Mustard Noodles".

Although the decoration at this point was not very good, the image of a pink-haired ball with its head lowered still attracted the attention of passers-by. While Nagasaki Suyo and Takamatsu Deng were drawing joy from the head of the pink-haired big dog, more and more people were watching them.

Shiina Riki saw that the area around him was about to be crowded with people watching the fun, so he quickly grabbed Takamatsu Lantern and threw it towards the decorated radish palm.

"Deng, it's time to go." After saying this, Shiina Riki was like a brave soldier charging forward, cutting through the thorns and bushes to help Takamatsu Deng behind him and clear the sea of ​​people in front of him.

"Are we leaving?" Yao Lenai followed closely behind and walked out of the crowd.

"Don't you want to touch it anymore?" Chihaya Aine, who had originally intended to use her head as an apology, felt a little reluctant when the soft and comfortable little hand on her head disappeared.

"Don't talk nonsense! Let's get out of here first!" When Shiina Ritsuki pulled Takamatsu Deng and rushed towards the crowd, Nagasaki Motoyo finally recovered from the state of being obsessed with rubbing Chihaya Aine's head.

Then Nagasaki Motoyo also pulled up Chihaya Aine, who had been patted on the head for a long time and was still standing there in a daze, and quickly rushed into the passage that Shiina Ritsuki had just opened up in the crowd.

Nagasaki Suyo had to work very hard to pull Chihaya Aine, the big pink-haired dog who was standing there stupidly, out of the room.

As soon as they left the huge crowd, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't even have time to take a deep breath before she pulled Chihaya Aine beside her and hurriedly caught up with Shiina Tatsuki, Takamatsu Touma and Kaname Rakuna who were walking quickly in front.

"It turns out that furry pink unknown creature is also a beautiful girl!"

"Two beautiful girls are rubbing another beautiful girl together. How could I have such a dream?"

"By the way, don't you think that beautiful girl with pink hair and a rua in the middle looks a little silly? Her companions just left, but she's still standing there motionless."

"Now that you put it that way, I doubt the pink-haired girl who was being rubbed would have stood there in a daze if it weren't for that beautiful brown-haired girl who exuded an aura of both a lady and a mother taking her hand and leading her away."

"Silly? I think it's Tang Tang's?"

"Why are you saying so much when everyone's gone? Go home, go find your moms! No, I think everyone should go shopping."

Perhaps it was the words of the last person that worked, or perhaps it was because the person involved had left and the excitement was gone, the huge crowd that had formed a wall just now had dispersed in an instant.

"Riki, wait for me and Aine." Nagasaki Motoyo called softly to Shiina Ritsuki who was moving forward in front of her with her head down.

"Ritsuki-chan, Suyo-chan is right. Didn't we agree to come and look at the performance costumes as a band today?" Takamatsu Deng began to persuade Shiina Ritsuki.

"It's not good to talk to yourself~" Kaname Rakuna also said.

"I just don't want to be lectured by a stray cat like you!" Shiina Riki never thought that there would be a day when he would be lectured by a stray cat like Yao Lenai.

"Since you said so, let's stop and wait for them." Shiina Riki found a place with relatively fewer people and stopped, taking Takamatsu Touma and Kaname Rakuna to wait for Nagasaki Motoyo and Chihaya Aine behind them to come and meet up.

"Ritsuki-chan, come on. Although I understand that you don't want Deng-chan to be surrounded by people, you're leaving too fast..." Nagasaki Motoyo grabbed Chihaya Aion and came to Shiina Ritsuki, Takamatsu Deng and Kaname Rakuna. She stood there and took a long time to adjust her breathing before recovering.

"I thought someone really liked the feeling of being the center of attention." Shiina Riki crossed his arms and looked at Chihaya Aine, who had not yet figured out what had happened in such a short period of time.

"Huh? Although I really want to show off in front of people, I definitely never thought of becoming famous by being a 'mysterious creature squeezed and rubbed by beautiful girls'." After hearing Shiina Ritsuki's teasing words about herself, Chihaya Aine finally came back to her senses.

"I was just thinking that if you don't wake up, I'll help you wake up..." In the consciousness space, Zero almost couldn't help but take action when his good partner was distracted for such a long time because of such a thing.

"Hehehe, it's just that Soyorin and Xiaodeng touched my head so comfortably. If we were in bed, I think I would have fallen asleep a long time ago." Chihaya Aine said embarrassedly.

"You're not really a big pink-haired puppy..." Zero complained in a very low voice.

"Cero, did you say anything just now?" Chihaya Aine didn't hear clearly what Zero said in a whisper just now.

"I say you should deal with Shiina Riki first." Where Chihaya Aine couldn't see, Zero silently wiped the non-existent cold sweat from his forehead.

"Rikki! It's all your fault, Zero, for interrupting me suddenly. I almost forgot that I was being teased by Rikki." Chihaya Aine clenched her fists in front of her chest, as if to cheer herself up.

At the moment when Chihaya Aine was distracted by chatting with Zero, Nagasaki Motoyo and Takamatsu Touma had already come up to her and kept waving their hands in front of Chihaya Aine's beautiful gray eyes. Kaname Rakuna seemed to think this was very funny, and also came up to Chihaya Aine and waved her little hands.

"Did I say too much just now?" Even Shiina Riki fell into a certain degree of self-doubt.

"Hey, can you hear me, Aiyin-chan? If you hear me, just blink." Nagasaki Suyo's eyes were like the sky.

A trace of worry emerged in my heart.

"Can you hear me, Aine-chan..." Takamatsu Deng's expression was extremely panicked.

"Are you okay..." Shiina Riki's words haven't come out yet...

"I'm sorry, everyone. I just talked to that guy Zero for a while and made you all worried." Seeing that Nagasaki Motoyo, Takamatsu Deng and others were worried about her, Chihaya Aion no longer had the idea of ​​challenging Shiina Riki to a duel, and instead apologized to everyone in the band.

"Why did Mr. Zero suddenly come to chat with you? Have those things appeared nearby again?" Nagasaki Suyo's beautiful eyebrows frowned slightly. When she heard that Zero was talking to Chihaya Aine, Nagasaki Suyo made the worst-case scenario plan for everything.

"Can't I even go shopping in peace?" Shiina Riki sighed, but his right hand had already tightly grasped the Xio terminal in his pocket.

"Ain, I'll do my best!" Takamatsu Deng also entered a combat state.

"Interesting things~" Kaname's eyes became sharp.

“???” Chihaya Aine was full of questions.

"That guy Zero just talked to me about some daily things, it's not what you think!" Chihaya Aine quickly stopped the band members who had already entered a fighting state.

"...Please, Aine-chan, get to the point first next time you speak!" Nagasaki Motoyo breathed a sigh of relief, and secretly twisted Chihaya Aine's slender waist with her right hand.

"Hmm?" However, this level of attack was no more than a mosquito bite for Chihaya Aine at the moment.

"I'm really speechless about you..." Shiina Riki thought about how all his previous mental preparations were in vain, and immediately forgot the idea of ​​not arguing with Chihaya Aine today because of what happened just now.

"Anyway, nothing's wrong, that's the best!" Takamatsu Deng was genuinely happy that Chihaya Aine and everyone in the band didn't have to fight.

"Boring woman~" Although Yao Lenai's interest and spirit also faded, Yao Lenai at this time also changed from the sharp cat just now to the state of a stray cat like a floating cloud.

"ε=(?ο｀*)))Ah!!! So this matter is entirely my fault in the end?!" Chihaya Aine's face was full of disbelief.

"Yeah! It's your fault, Aine-chan!" Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki said in unison.

"Okay, okay, what Deng said just now is right. It's best if those things don't appear. Let's continue shopping." Seeing that Chihaya Aine was about to fall into a depressed state of crying again, Nagasaki Motoyo hurried out to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay! Which store should we go to first?" When Chihaya Aine heard the word "shopping", she was no longer sleepy.

"We just ran around and arrived at the fourth floor. It just so happens that the stores I want to visit are on this floor, so let's go to those stores first." As soon as she received the news that Chihaya Aine was going to GINZA SIX for shopping, Nagasaki Motoyo did all the homework that might be useful in the car.

Volume 1: Chapter 84 This must be your sister.

When Chihaya Aine heard Nagasaki Motoyo say that she had a few shops she wanted to visit, the smile on her face became even brighter, and even her cute little fangs were revealed.

"Hey~ It turns out Soyorin is looking forward to shopping with me~" Chihaya Aine jumped in front of Nagasaki Suyo.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I just think that none of you are the type to make plans. I did the research beforehand for the sake of the band." Nagasaki Suyo suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, stared at Chihaya Aine with an expression as if she were looking at an idiot.

"Soyorin's expression is so scary!" Chihaya Aine, who was originally jumping to Nagasaki Soyo with a smile on her face and wanted to tease her, was also frightened by the expression on Nagasaki Soyo's face.

"At worst, I can apologize to you, okay? Soyorin, it won't look good if you get angry over something like this with such a pretty face of yours." Chihaya Aine clasped her hands together and tilted her head slightly to ask for help.

"I'm not angry!" Nagasaki Suyo was really angry now because of the stupidity of that blockhead.

"Okay, okay, if you keep frowning like that you're going to become really ugly~" Chihaya Aine smiled, revealing her cute little fangs, and at the same time stretched out her right hand and gently stroked Nagasaki Motoyo's slightly wrinkled brow with her white and slender fingers.

"What are you doing? There are so many people coming and going around!" Nagasaki Suye took a step back in panic, keeping her brows away from Chihaya Aine's fair and slender fingers, in order to hide her reddened face.

"That is to say, you can do it when there is no one around..." Chihaya Aine spoke without thinking and continued to tease Nagasaki Suyo.

"Aine, if you don't want me to read this narration at the beginning of the story: "In the basement of the Girls' Band Big Era QQ Space, a place that no detector can find, is where Chihaya Aine is ellipsis", then you'd better shut up right now and don't read out that dangerous sentence." In the space of consciousness, the pressure that Zero felt at this moment was even more terrifying than when he was fighting one-on-one with the little golden man.

"Cero, you are talking nonsense again... With my current physical condition, how could I be locked up? Besides, if something really happens, aren't you still here?" Chihaya Aine was a little confused why Zero was saying such weird things again, but being interrupted by Zero like this, what she was about to say came to an abrupt end.

"ε=(?ο｀*))) Alas, when you understand everything in the future, you will thank me, Aine, for saving your life today." After saying this, Zero felt that he had done everything he could to save his good partner.

"Aine, it's time for you to end this conversation with me..." After feeling that the gravity similar to that of Bruton was gradually fading away, Zero waved his hands repeatedly to let Chihaya Aine quickly return to reality.

"What!?" Chihaya Aine could only stomp her feet in response to Zero's yet another Riddler act.

Just when Chihaya Aine stomped her feet a few times and felt unsatisfied, and was about to stomp a few more times, she felt someone pulling her clothes from behind.

"Ain, are you okay?" Takamatsu Deng's timid voice came from behind Chihaya Ain.

"I'm fine~ Xiao Deng, don't worry too much. I don't know what went wrong with that guy Zero just now. He forced me to talk to him. He wasn't like this before." Chihaya Aine lowered her chin, wondering if her good partner Zero had injured his head in the previous battle.

"Stop dawdling there. If you keep going like this, we won't even be able to finish visiting GINZA SIX today." Nagasaki Suyo had already distanced herself from the other four people who were still there. It seemed that Nagasaki Suyo's behavior was due to her worry that the band members wouldn't be able to visit many places today, but in fact, it was just to prevent others from seeing her red face and earlobes.

"Soyorin, please wait for us!" Chihaya Aine tried to ask Nagasaki Soyo, who was already walking ahead, to wait for her and the others.

"Xiaodeng, let's catch up with Soyorin~" Seeing that her call was ineffective, Chihaya Aion grabbed Takamatsu Tou's hand that was holding her clothes behind her, and then Chihaya Aion and Takamatsu Tou ran towards Nagasaki Soyo together.

"That guy!!!" Shiina Riki didn't expect that Chihaya Aine would steal his home when he wasn't paying attention.

When Shiina Riki saw Chihaya Aine pulling Takamatsu Deng's back, he didn't care about anything else and ran away.

Followed by Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Touma.

"It's really an interesting band~" Kaname Rakuna, who took in all of this, smiled with her cherry-colored thin lips into the shape of a cat's mouth.

In this way, the five members of a united band marched forward in GINZA SIX in a formation of one, two, one, and one.

This situation continued until Nagasaki Suyo, who was at the front of the car, stopped in front of a store. Although it was a store, the entire store was in an open state. Except for the walls that needed to be embedded with cabinets, there were no doors or walls in other places.

"Tabio Japan?" Chihaya Aine looked up at the name of the store and whispered it out loud.

"Is this a store that only sells socks?" Chihaya Aine looked around and saw nothing but various kinds of socks.

"That's right, Tabio is a unique brand born with the goal of "supplying socks to people all over the world." From the very beginning, Tabio has adhered to the principle of creating a "handmade feel." Even now, they still fully utilize traditional artisan techniques and continuously research and develop ideal socks for the new era." Nagasaki Motoyo recited the homework she had just done in the black limousine.

Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna, who arrived just one step later than Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Tomori, naturally did not miss Nagasaki Motoyo's explanation of the store "Tabio Japan".

Yao Rakuna, who was not interested in such things, naturally looked daydreaming. As for Shiina Riki, because she saw Takamatsu Deng nodding repeatedly when listening to the explanation, she silently memorized Nagasaki Soyo's explanation in her heart and decided to find an opportunity to make up for the relevant knowledge in the future.

As for Chihaya Aine, she had already entered the store and started looking at the various socks, constantly expressing her admiration.

"This child is so cute, and this is cute too!" Chihaya Aine has been exclaiming in admiration since she entered the store.

Nagasaki Suyo led everyone into the "Tabio Japan" store. After telling everyone to look around freely, she continued to explain the knowledge she had crammed for today.

"Tabio was founded with the goal of breaking the stereotype of socks as consumables. We hope that people around the world will truly appreciate the luxury of socks."

"Does it feel luxurious?" Chihaya Aine glanced at the price tag. It was indeed quite luxurious.

I had my eyes on a pair of Takamatsu lanterns with lifelike penguins woven on them, but after seeing the price tag on them, I sighed and had to put them down.

Seeing Takamatsu Deng sighing, Shiina Riki felt like her heart was about to break, and she almost blurted out "I'll buy it for you".

"It's okay. Deng-chan, you like this pair of socks with penguins on them, right? I just happen to have a shopping card here that will expire if you don't use it today. It would be a waste if I can't use it all today, so just use it as the activity fund for the band today." A black card was flying at Nagasaki Suye's fingertips, making it difficult to see clearly.

"But..." When Takamatsu Deng was about to say something, he was interrupted by Nagasaki Suyo.

"Deng-chan, just consider this as a favor, okay?" Nagasaki Motoyo gestured to the clerk next to her to help her pack up the pair of penguin socks and the other pairs that Chihaya Aine had said were cute before.

Finally, with Nagasaki Motoyo's words of "it's a waste if you don't spend it" and "just do a favor", Shiina Tatsuki and Kaname Rakuna also chose a few pairs of their favorite socks.

After paying with a credit card and leaving her delivery address, Nagasaki Motoyo walked out of the "Tabio Japan" store and waved to the four people waiting outside to follow her.

-------------------------------------------------- -----------

Momoka Kawahara wore a professional smile, bowing repeatedly to the guests. "Hello, guests, welcome, welcome." Her face was smiling, but her heart was filled with bitterness. She had dropped out of school and brought everyone to Tokyo with her dream of becoming a musician, but her musical style wasn't accepted by the agency, which wanted songs and sales that were more like idol-like.

She was originally full of confidence at school, thinking of starting with Livehouse, gradually making a name for herself in this era of girl bands, and then continuing to create the music she loves and continue to delve deeper into the music she loves...

However, the fact is that she refused to change her music style and refused to become an idol, so she could only work as a shopping guide in GINZA SIX. Even this job was introduced to her by the manager of the LiveHouse where she used to live. Otherwise, she might have breathed her last long ago, compromised with reality and returned to her hometown in despair.

Although this job is not a formal employee, it is a dispatched worker, or a temporary worker.

She was struggling with her thoughts when she saw a girl, exuding nobility? Or perhaps a noblewoman, walking straight towards her with four beautiful girls of various styles, and directly said, "We want to buy clothes."

She was stunned for a moment. RB Department Store had a tradition of providing dedicated service, but that was only for the powerful and well-known people in society. Although the girl in front of her exuded nobility, there were also girls behind her who were dressed more simply. If she made a mistake and was only scolded, it would be fine. However, it would be bad if the girls in the past overspent or were held accountable by the department store.

Although she was preoccupied with other matters, Momoka Kawaharagi bowed politely out of work habit. "Hello, customer," she said. "Our GINZA SIX department store has specialty stores and VIP shops for world-renowned brands like Dior, VALENTINO, FENDI, Van Cleef & Arpels, Saint Laurent, Céline, Loewe, and MOYNAT. We're sure you'll be satisfied. Enjoy your shopping."
