One hundred ways to resist the Bandoli women

Shiina Riki's tone wasn't exactly friendly, but that was her normal way of speaking, and Katsuto was used to it.

Can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?

Generally speaking, this opening line is used when talking to an acquaintance who asks "what's the matter?"

However, how can he be an ordinary person if he is better than others?

"I went to see the lights recently."

"!"

The changes in Shiina Riki's pupils were accurately captured by Katsuto.

Sure enough, this is the only way to make Shiina Riki behave himself.

Gao Songdeng is in my hand. If you want to see her, show me your fat...

Cough, cough, cough, cough.

After Yamabuki Saya served the drinks.

"Let me be frank. The disbandment of Crychic was a huge blow to her."

"So, what do you want to say?"

"I think the lights need a new band."

"!"

Nagasaki Suyo's breathing paused.

"how do you know?"

Shiina Riki said somewhat unconvinced.

"You know that much about lights?"

"At least you know a little more than Taki-chan."

quack!

Shiina Riki instantly transformed into the battleship Hood and was hit in the ammunition depot by a shot.

"So, Katsuto, do you mean to form Crychic again?"

Nagasaki Suyo couldn't help but speak.

She even forgot to clasp her hands and forced herself to suppress her inner excitement.

"You're going to form the group? We, Xiao Deng, Xiao Mu, and..."

"No, no."

Katsuto glanced at Nagasaki Suyo and shook his head.

"Not by me—and certainly not by you. Find someone who has nothing to do with Crychic."

"what?"

Nagasaki Suyo was stunned.

"..."

Shiina Riki was thinking.

"Deng is resisting us... It's not right to say that, she won't listen to us. Soyo, you also looked for Deng, right? But I guess the result was not good."

"Um……"

There is no need to lie at this time.

"If you want the light to come out, you have to be persuaded by a third party who has nothing to do with it."

"So, what exactly did you come to see me for?"

Shiina Riki's mind was in turmoil. As if to hide this, she took a sip of coffee.

"It's nothing, actually... I just hope you don't call the person who invited the new band to the Light Group a "bad guy"."

"what?"

Shiina Riki slammed the table.

"Why do you think I would say that?"

"Well, intuition."

"You are such a bad person."

Especially this look of seeing through everything.

There is no way that Shiina Riki likes Ushiromiya Katsuto.

It would be fine if it was just a fake trick, but this guy just...

"Hi hi hi."

In response, Shengren shrugged.

"This awful person, I have something to do later, so I'm leaving first."

Going to perform at Cricle.

And before that.

"I think I will be very busy later, so I may have to ask you to take care of many things, Taki...but I'm not worried."

Katsuto stood up, turned his back to Shiina Riki, and twisted his neck at an incredible angle.

Show a smile.

"Because, Taki, you and I are very similar in many things, especially in the angles and directions we look at problems. People who are similar to me cannot be wrong."

"Bah! Narcissistic!"

Shiina Riki didn't know why she didn't dare to respond to Shengren's gaze. She lowered her head and spat.

"Ahahahaha!"

With Shiina Tatsuki and Nagasaki Motoyo watching him, Katsuto drank the iced Americano in one gulp and left RiNG.

Next, let’s do something big.

Chapter 18: Unacceptable Thanks

"Huh~ah!"

After the performance, Shengren, carrying his guitar, came to the front desk of Circle.

"Ms. Marina, please give me an iced Americano, thank you."

"Hi! ...Ah, it's Rong, long time no see."

When Marina Tsukishima saw Katsuto carrying a guitar on his back, she clasped her hands together.

As he spoke, he prepared the drink he ordered on the counter.

“Are you playing in a band again now?”

Tsukishima Marina asked when she saw the guitar behind Katsuto.

"No, not really... I'm just a support musician."

"That's it..."

There was a hint of melancholy in Tsukishima Marina's voice.

"If you can form a band, it's better to form a band... Your iced Americano is ready."

"Thank you!"

Shengren took the iced Americano and took a big gulp.

"However, there are quite a few bands that need backup musicians right now...even the band performing this time is missing both a guitarist and a bassist."

You know, a full girl band only has five members, so two are missing.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, relationships between people are very complicated."

"You know, two people can form a B'z."

B'z is a duo rock band formed in 1988 by guitarist Takahiro Matsumoto and lead singer Hiroshi Inaba. It is also the only Asian rock band to enter the Hollywood Rock Walk.

Shengren just made a joke, however.

"Oh, you mean, you want to form a B'z with me?" a voice sounded from behind.

Katsuto looked back and saw a girl with shoulder-length black hair, dark green eyes, and wearing the Hanasakigawa school uniform looking straight at him.

"..."

Shengren really didn't know how to respond to the other party's words.

"just kidding."

"That's a really funny joke you told... Hachiman-kun, right?"

Katsuto thought back and found the name of the girl he had heard before in the corner of his mind.

"Well, my name is Hachiman Kailing."

Hachiman Kailin sat down next to Katsuto and ordered a drink.

The two had a brief exchange.

"My name is Ushiromiya Katsuto."

"Ushiromiya, huh?"

Hachiman Kailing read the last name again.

"Um……"

Katsuto saw something from Hachiman Kailing's expression and thought for a moment.

"If you were in Hanasakigawa...do you know Shiina Riki?"

"How did you know?"

A trace of surprise flashed across the other person's face.

"Guessing... because you were confused about my last name."

Shengren shrugged.

“But I don’t know you… so I think you know me from SNS.”

I guess he knew it through the wall of Crychic built by Nagasaki Suyo, which had his old name on it.

"Then you must know one of the people I know... As for why it was Li Xi, I guessed it."

But it’s not just a random guess.

Just think about it a little and you will know.

First eliminate Xiao Meideng and Mu Tou Ren.

The communication skills of those two people...well...Katsuto won't comment on that.

The rest—

Nagasaki Suyo, Toyokawa Shoko.

Although the possibility that they knew Hachiman Kailing was not zero, one of them moved from another place and entered Tsuki Mori directly in junior high school, while the other had been in Tsuki Mori since childhood.

Considering their positions and social circles, the possibility is relatively low.

The most likely person is indeed Shiina Tatsuki.

"You are very smart."

Hachiman Kailing took a sip of her drink.

"Also, your solo in that live show just now was great."
