Mygo? Bandori Girls? The goal is The Idolmaster!

For a moment, Chihaya Aine began to dislike the identity of this neighbor. If their homes were far away from each other, she would always find a reason to stay overnight.

"But there are pros and cons. I live next door to Kosaki, so I can see everyone coming and going."

At least it can make it clear who needs to be vigilant and who doesn't need to be cared about at all, right?

After the ensemble, the configuration of the nameless band was tentatively finalized. The five girls chatted for a while in the cafe on the second floor of the ring, and then said goodbye to each other.

Saki greeted the three girls and left with Chihaya Aine: "...Suyo-chan, Riki-chan, and Deng-chan, be careful on your way."

Shiina Riki's actions were the same as usual, she first sent Takamatsu Tomo home and then walked back to her own home; Nagasaki Suyo was different, she hesitated for a long time and finally decided to go find Wakaba Mutsu, she wanted to talk to Wakaba Mutsu.

On the other side, Chihaya Aine was chatting with Saki in a lively yet friendly tone. As a fashionable adolescent girl, she could certainly find endless topics to talk about.

She really wanted to tell Saki about the strange behavior of Nagasaki Suyo, but she was worried that Saki would think she was a person who was telling lies.

The person who spoke ill of others didn't know how to start again for a moment.

"Aine-chan, you're talking about Suyo-chan's reaction, right?" Saki knew what she wanted to say after taking a look at the cautious Chihaya Aine. "I think so too."

"..." Chihaya Aine blinked and almost didn't react, so she stood there, and Saki was one step ahead of her.

Night had fallen, and the dim light shone on Saki, stretching her shadow as if it could extend to infinite length.

Her shadow covered most of Chihaya Aine's body, as if this was the reason why the pink-haired girl stood there in a daze.

Saki turned around and looked.

It was just a coincidence that a breeze with the unique coolness of autumn blew from afar, ruffling the girl's hair and also plucking the heartstrings of the pink-haired girl.

Saki used her nimble right hand to smooth the swaying hair, keeping it in its original position quietly and neatly. The soft, shiny hair cascaded down the girl's neck, making it appear even longer and whiter.

There was a gentle smile between her curved eyebrows, and she seemed to be saying: I know you have seen it, and I also know what you are thinking. We don’t need to say anything, we understand each other tacitly.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Chihaya Aine felt that she could smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers wandering through Saki's hair, and she felt her heartbeat quicken.

Yes, Xiaosaki in front of me has a great face, a great personality and extraordinary emotional intelligence. The two of them said nothing, but it seemed like they said everything. Is there any better way to get along than this?

A faint blush appeared on Chihaya Aine's fair face, and she unconsciously wanted to touch the ends of her hair.

But, how could Chihaya Aine do such a thing when the hidden meaning of her every move could be seen through by Kosaki?

It’s better to keep a girl’s thoughts in mind.

She suppressed the subtle impulse in her heart, grabbed the shoulder straps of her guitar bag with both hands, and jumped like a little child to the front of Xiaosaki, whom she liked and admired. She smiled so hard that her cute little fangs were exposed.

As her little leather shoes rose and fell, Chihaya Aine adjusted her mood and said, "Well, speaking of which, there was a really good masked band called Fantasy that appeared in the recent band competition. It's actually Kosaki's band, right? They look so cool, and they're going to the Budokan. They're really amazing! Now, can you continue teaching me guitar from now on?"

If you pay a little attention you will find that Fantasy has sung the song that Saki sang at the joint live, and the voice is exactly the same, it is definitely her!

[But that's not important. What's important is to congratulate Xiaosaki before she becomes my temporary teammate, and then take the opportunity to ask for some interaction!]

At this moment, Chihaya Aine's gray eyes sparkled with wisdom.

Chapter 140 141. The Correct Way to Sweep the Strings

Listening to Chihaya Aine's praise, Saki shrugged it off: "It's not that impressive, it's just that the winning prize is a spot at the Budokan. The impressive part is the staff who organized this band challenge."

Besides, the martial arts hall has long been a place where anyone can enter as long as they pay.

To put it bluntly, if she ignores the issue of attendance, she can come up with the gimmick of "new idols reaching their peak as soon as they debut."

But she knows the importance of cheering to the performers on stage, and the characteristic of idol fans is to cheer, so she never does such a thing.

Going to a martial arts hall? That sounds impressive. How's the attendance rate?

For singers/idols/bands, this is the only criterion for judging whether a trip to the Budokan is worthwhile. Don't think about anything else.

"But, it's really amazing, isn't it? I told everyone at school about this, and everyone is looking forward to Fantasy's performance."

Chihaya Aine took a step forward, further closing the distance between herself and Saki. The look of anticipation on her face could not be faked.

Then, as if remembering something, she leaned over and assured him, "I've always respected the fantasy worldview! Although everyone is guessing about Kosaki's true identity, I've never revealed my guess."

As she spoke, Chihaya Aine let go of the shoulder strap of her guitar bag, spread her fingers apart, and gently placed her fingertips together, her smile becoming shy.

At that moment, Saku felt as if the pink-haired girl had furry dog ​​ears growing on her head and a fluffy dog ​​tail growing from the back of her skirt.

The corners of Saki's mouth curled up slightly, and he sighed inwardly: [You look really cute, little Aine. ]

She actually doesn't care much about whether her identity is exposed or not. To be precise, she deliberately exposed her identity during the duet with RAS. Otherwise, she should sing new songs instead of the songs she sang in the joint live.

However, since Chihaya Aine respected her impromptu worldview so much, Saki would naturally express her gratitude to the girl.

"Ain, you must have practiced 'Haruhi no Kage' quite a few times. Your performance was quite smooth and the coordination was quite comfortable. All your efforts were shown in the ensemble," Saki praised.

But then came a reminder: "However, although Xiao Lixi seems easy to talk to today, she is actually a very demanding person. If Xiao Aiyin doesn't perform well in the subsequent songs, she will directly frown."

So, in order to ensure that a certain Aine-kun president doesn't feel pressured by Shiina Tatsuki, Saki makes an invitation to practice.

To put it another way: Let me see how determined you are to start a band!

If there are no problems in the future, Saki doesn't mind helping Chihaya Aine to debut as an idol or something, just sprinkle some water

Morfonica in Tsuki no Mori has started to follow the process.

"Really? Thank you very much, I will try my best!" Hearing Saki say that she would guide her, Chihaya Aine clenched her fists excitedly, her expression as happy as ever.

Chihaya Aine: [The plan works! ]

But what she didn't expect was that after entering the house, Saki changed his usual gentle appearance and gave sharp comments without any psychological burden.

All the talk about her poor forehand and weak backhand came out, making Chihaya Aine tense up and forget about the little pride she had accumulated in the student council band and the nameless band.

"Aine-chan, you must have learned your strumming technique from the internet. You use your thumb and index finger alternately." As he said this, Saki reached out from behind Chihaya Aine and grabbed the girl's wrist.

At the same time, Saki's soft body pressed directly against Chihaya Aine's back, and her already tense body became even stiffer, almost reminiscent of a steel plate.

While Chihaya Aine was shouting in her heart that something was wrong, she was also making a subtle "Guhehe" laugh in her heart. If you didn't know, you would think that she had suddenly split into two personalities.

Not to mention others, even Chihaya Aine herself feels this way.

But after thinking about it, she immediately came to the conclusion: being nervous and being happy are not contradictory at all. She was nervous because she was being guided by Saki, and she was happy because she was in close contact with Saki. There was no contradiction at all.

"...Hold the chord with your left hand, and cross your right thumb and index finger in a cross. Keep your fingers relaxed. Aine-chan, you're too stiff right now. Think back to your ensemble practice."

Of course, Saki noticed the girl's stiffness. She could probably guess what was wrong with Chihaya Aine. After all, this situation would occasionally occur when Shirasagi Chisei asked her to rehearse the lines in the script.

This is a normal interaction between girls, right? Is there any need to be so nervous? She has a clear conscience anyway. She didn't mean to get close to me; she would feel delicate when her chest is pressed.

Of course, it was different when she was speaking with Bai Lu Qian Sheng. She actually had a little bit of a bad taste in her voice.

"Aine-chan?" Saki called out in a relatively serious tone, trying to do two things at once.

Chihaya Aine, who was mumbling in her heart, immediately came back to her senses: "Yes, Saki-sensei! I'm listening!"

"So, what did I just say?" Saki asked in a serious tone.

"Eh? Uh... yes, I mean that you should relax your wrist, use your wrist as the axis, and try to avoid your fingers being perpendicular to the strings." Chihaya Aine became more confident as she spoke. She was really good at multitasking, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be the student council president and form a student council band at the same time.

The pink-haired girl thought to herself: [Hehe, praise me more, Xiaosaki! ]

Kesaki naturally had something to say: "So, what are you doing now?"

You understand the principles, but you don’t care at all when it comes to operation, right?

"Ahaha..." Chihaya Aine laughed awkwardly, feeling a little embarrassed. She really wasn't operating the machine. But she had a reason: what if she performed well from the start and Saki didn't continue to teach her?

No matter what you do, you have to proceed step by step, right?

So, Saki grabbed Chihaya Aine's wrist and practiced with her several times, and Chihaya Aine gradually improved her proficiency in the operation.

Then, the pink-haired girl made a proud voice: "How about my strumming, Xiaosaki?"

What stands out is "Teacher Saki when there is something to do, and Kosaki when there is nothing to do."

Chihaya Aine wanted to be praised.

But she never expected that, although Saki praised her, he then let go, gave her freedom, and let her practice on her own. This is very...

Chihaya Aine: [What are you showing off for? If I had known, I would have delayed it a little longer!]

Chihaya Aine:qaq

Chapter 141 142. Humble Su Shi Online Looking for Chat

Saki and Chihaya Aine are having a good time here, but it’s a different story with Nagasaki Soyo.

For her, it was another quiet evening. To put it in the most cheesy way possible: Is this going to start again? This cycle of despair.

All I can say is that this is the Nagasaki family's situation. Nagasaki Suyo is the only one in the empty big house. Even if the lights in all the rooms are turned on, it cannot dispel the cold atmosphere she feels.

The feeling was almost tangible, making it difficult for her to breathe.

So, Nagasaki Suyo is used to turning off the lights.

She would feel better as long as she let the room inside and outside be shrouded in deep and heavy night and pretended that "this house is actually empty".

Apart from that, there is nothing she can do.

Because she felt the same technique and saw the same fingering as Toyokawa Shoko during ensemble practice, Nagasaki Suyo suffered from insomnia.

As soon as she closed her eyes, the cool keyboard sound of "Spring Shadow" would ring in her ears, and the ten slender white fingers flying on the black and white keys also appeared before her eyes.

When she opened her eyes, everything disappeared, but she was no longer sleepy and could not fall asleep anymore.

Nagasaki Suyo woke up the mobile phone screen again, looking at the dense messages in the Line chat box and the glaring "unread", she felt a strong pain.

It is now nine o'clock in the evening, and the good boy should be asleep, but she sent the message at seven-thirty, and she would send a new message after a while. Logically, these messages should have attracted Toyokawa Shoko's attention.

But why are all of these unread?

Nagasaki Suyo felt the bitter taste of sadness. She tapped the screen and dragged it upwards bit by bit, as if doing so could help her recall her efforts and finally help her embrace the beauty of her crychic period.

Alas, how could such a beautiful day be gone? Is it really impossible to return?

In the cool dim light of the cell phone, the girl gradually pursed her lips. She really didn't want it to end. She wanted to have a good chat with Toyokawa Shoko.

To do this, it is necessary to establish effective communication with Wakaba Mutsu. Wakaba Mutsu is Toyokawa Shoko's childhood sweetheart, so he will definitely be able to contact her.

【absolute!】

So, despite being repeatedly rejected, Nagasaki Suyo still opened the chat box with Wakaba Mutsu, and the two quickly made an agreement.

This matter went smoothly, as if everything would turn around and crychic would return smoothly.

Nagasaki Suyo really wanted to think so, but she couldn't deceive herself because it was the same before. Everything seemed to be going well, but Wakaba Mu never did what she expected.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo even felt like getting angry. She wanted to loudly ask Wakaba Mu: Why don’t you let me see Xiaoxiang!

She just wants a chance to talk face to face, is that not enough?

She really forgot that she actually had a chance, that is, the day she ran into Toyokawa Shoko. But Toyokawa Shoko didn't talk to her at all.

I can only say that the human body's protective mechanism is sometimes so amazing that it makes me subconsciously think about what I like and fantasize about myself.

Just like that, Nagasaki Suyo subconsciously clicked on the chat box with the note "sakichan".

The girl wrote down the characters with trembling fingers, then thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate, so she deleted it and re-entered it. After repeating this many times, she finally made a mistake and accidentally pressed the send button while deleting the text.

Looking at the word "tomorrow" that had already been sent out, Nagasaki Suyo was in a panic and finally withdrew the message.

At the same time, after closing the door, Konoe Saki felt the vibration of her cell phone, and then saw the word "tomorrow" turn into a prompt message saying "The other party has withdrawn this message."

"Suyo-chan?" Saki didn't understand what he meant. She thought Nagasaki Suyo wanted to say something to her, but she accidentally made a mistake. She waited patiently for a while, but saw that the other party did not respond, and the chat box did not give a "typing" prompt, so she had to take the initiative to chat with the other party.

So, Nagasaki Sushi saw a message from "Xiaoxiang" pop up in Sakichan's chat box: Xiao Sushi, what's up? If it's a life consultation, I'd be happy to help.

He was polite and gentle, exactly like the Xiaoxiang she remembered, except that the name wasn't right.

Nagasaki Suyo thought to herself: [Xiaoxiang used to address me by my first name, she didn't... No, no...]

Because of the wrong name, Nagasaki Suyo couldn't regard Saki on the other end of the line as Toyokawa Shoko, but she soon fell into hesitation.

When it comes to taking meal replacements, there’s only a difference between zero times and countless times.

When she thought about what she had thought about before, and that Takamatsu Deng and Wakaba Mutsuya had done it (this was Nagasaki Suyo's unilateral idea), Nagasaki Suyo once again had the idea that "she could be Xiaoxiang."

However, she arbitrarily added a limiting prefix to this idea: Xiaoxiang, who is only allowed to communicate online.

Thinking of this, the girl's mood suddenly became relaxed. She typed quickly, as if she was having an enthusiastic conversation with an old friend she hadn't seen in years.

The two of them were not communicating face to face, so Saki couldn't tell Nagasaki Suyo's true thoughts from the girl's tone, expression, and behavior.

, but she had already become suspicious, so she subconsciously felt that there was something suspicious about this person.

Although it is very impolite to presume someone guilty directly, it is really difficult for Saki to remain polite because of what Nagasaki Suyo did. She just wants to correct this girl who may have become very strange.

In order to solve the problem at the source, Saki maintained a friendly tone in his words, wanting to know what Nagasaki Suyo cared about Toyokawa Shoko, and then solve the problem in one fell swoop.
