People are in the music show, but the Yorozuya

【Shame of the band:???】

No, buddy, how can I answer this?

Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment. According to common sense, shouldn't Otonashi Sota persuade her a few more times at this time, and then she would reluctantly agree to go out?

Why did you back down after just the first step?

Show me some of the persistence that a boy should have!

Chihaya Aine bit her nails unhappily, then quickly tapped the screen of her phone and replied,

[Band Shame: Ahem...don't worry, I'm almost done, I'll have time soon.]

[Otonashi Sota: It's okay. If you have something to do, go deal with it first. If you're free, come over. But only this afternoon.]

[Shame of the Band: ....I understand.]

Looking at the chat history between herself and Otonashi Sota, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Hadn't it been Otonashi Sota who invited her to play? Why, judging by their conversation, did she seem to be feeling a bit impatient?

Oh no, this man’s level seems to be a bit high. Is she being controlled by the CPU?

After thinking about it, Chihaya Aine was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Anyway, she is bored staying at home now, so she might as well go to Heyin Wuzoutai to have fun. Maybe she can even get him to sing or play the piano for her again.

So Chihaya Aine turned off Teacher Damao's live broadcast without hesitation, went back to her room to change her clothes, and then dressed herself up carefully. After making sure that she looked beautiful today, she put on her guitar bag and went to the address of the Yorozuya with full of anticipation.

To be honest, Chihaya Aine was a little excited when walking on the road.

After all, this was her first time going out with a boy on a weekend, so it could be considered a date, right?

But Chihaya Aine would still be very satisfied if the person she went on a first date with was Otonashi Sota.

After all, no matter from which perspective, Otonashi Sota is a perfect man.

He is handsome and mature, speaks in an interesting way, plays music very well, and we are all partners in the same band.

When they get together, Otonashi Sota is the person she can talk to the most.

Li Xi is too fierce. He always points out her shortcomings when she is practicing the piano; Xiao Deng is rather taciturn, not to mention Lenai. She always sticks to Onmu Sota and doesn't seem to care about the other members of the band at all.

She also liked Su Shi's gentleness and generosity, but the aristocratic lady's temperament made her feel a little uncomfortable in front of her. It seemed as if there was a sad and thick barrier between the two of them.

So after going around in circles, Otonashi Sota, as a member of the opposite sex, turned out to be the person she felt most comfortable getting along with.

She even thought further, if she took Otonashi Sota to show off to other classmates, she would probably be looked at with envy, right?

When she thought of that scene, Chihaya Aine couldn't help laughing again as she walked.

Good! Taking advantage of today's opportunity, she wanted to build a good relationship with Otonashi Sota.

With this thought in mind, Chihaya Aine came to the door of the Yorozuya and knocked.

After a while, the door opened from the inside.

"Zouzou, good afternoon!"

Chihaya Aine greeted Otonashi Sota with a bright smile and full of energy.

"You're here pretty quickly, come in."

Seeing the familiar pink-haired girl, Otonashi Sota waved at her.

"This is the shop opened by Zou Zou, so cool!"

Chihaya Aine walked into the Yorozuya, looked at everything around her with curiosity, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Senior, are your friends here?"

Just as Chihaya Ai Music was looking around the store, she suddenly heard a pleasant female voice coming from the back of the store.

Following the sound, Chihaya Aine saw a beautiful red-haired girl walking towards her.

Chihaya Aine: "???"

If it's not my buddy, who is this girl? Aren't there supposed to be only me and Zou Zou here?

"Hello, you must be Chihaya Aine-san, right? My name is Kita, and I'm your bandmate in the ending band! Nice to meet you."

Kita Ikuyo enthusiastically shook Chihaya Aine's hand and introduced herself.

"Oh... hello Kita-san..."

Chihaya Aine subconsciously shook Kita Ikuyo's hand. After hearing the other party's self-introduction, she also understood the other party's identity, but what she didn't understand was why the other party was here?

So the girl cast a puzzled look at Otonashi Sota.

"Zouzou, didn't you ask me to come over to play... to teach you how to play the piano?"

"Yes, Kita is here to learn piano just like you. I thought teaching one is the same as teaching two, so I called you here."

Although Chihaya Aine didn't finish her words, Otonashi Sota could see her confusion. She was wondering why Kita was also here, so Otonashi Sota gave an honest answer.

Chihaya Aine: "..."

Not my friend?! I thought you were just making an excuse to let me play the piano, but how could you really be here to teach me how to play the piano? And I'm just a bystander?!

In other words, she just imagined so many plots in her mind...but they were all her own delusions?

Oh no, now she's become a clown!

Chihaya Aine's pretty face suddenly turned red. Fortunately, only she knew what she was thinking before. If others could hear her inner voice, she would really have to leave the earth on a rocket.

"Aine, why are you blushing?"

Seeing Chihaya Aine's face suddenly turn red, Otonashi Sota of course didn't know what she was thinking, so he could only ask curiously.

"No, nothing, just feeling a bit refreshed."

Chihaya Aine quickly rubbed her face and forced herself to calm down.

"Zouzou?"

At this time, Kita Ikuyo on the side keenly noticed how Chihaya Aine addressed Otonashi Sota.

What kind of intimate name is this?

Suddenly, a sense of crisis arose in Kita Ikuyo's heart, which she was not even aware of.

"She likes to call people names that she thinks are cute, like calling Taki "Rikki" and calling Zouzou "Zouzou"."

Otonashi Sota explained Chihaya Aine's problem.

"I don't really care about the name, so I just let her call me that. But Shiina doesn't really like it."

"It's all because Li Xi is too rigid. This name is obviously more lovely. But luckily I have Zou Zou. I'm glad you can understand me."

Chihaya Aine waved her fist, as if venting her dissatisfaction with Shiina Riki.

"So that's it."

Kita Ikuyo breathed a sigh of relief.

It turns out Chihaya just likes giving people nicknames, and that's fine, it's just like how they call Goto Ichiri Pochi-chan, right?

"But then again, Kita-san can't play the piano either?"

Chihaya Aine came to her senses at this time and looked at Kita Ikuyo curiously.

Could it be that she is not the only one who is a guitar novice?

"Well, I've only been learning guitar for two weeks."

Kita Ikuyo scratched her head a little embarrassedly.

"That's great!... Ahem, no, I mean, let's make progress together!"

Chihaya Aine's eyes lit up and she quickly shook Kita Ikuyo's hand, excited as if she had found a revolutionary comrade.

As expected, she said, how could there be so many people in this world who can play musical instruments?

Masters like Lenai are so rare! There are only so many people like her!

"Well! With the guidance of the seniors, Chihaya-kun, you will definitely be able to learn to play the piano quickly!"

Kita Ikuyo also responded enthusiastically.

"Pfft—you two, the Dragon and the Phoenix, are actually showing mutual admiration."

Seeing Chihaya Aine and Kita Ikuyo instantly become like good sisters, Otonashi Kanata couldn't help but laugh.

"Crouching dragon and phoenix chick?"

Chihaya Aine blinked, not understanding what the word meant.

"I know! Senior, you mean that the two of us are as good as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong from the Three Kingdoms, right?"

Kita Ikuyo said excitedly.

Ever since she played Three Kingdoms Kill last time, she went back to watch Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

Although she hadn't finished watching it yet, she was still familiar with well-known characters like Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick. So when she heard Otonashi Sota use the terms Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick to describe her and Chihaya Aine, she naturally thought he was praising them.

It’s a pity that Kita Ikuyo didn’t know that in today’s Internet age, the meaning of Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick has become a synonym for making fun of existences like those that defy the heavens.

"Excellent? Indeed, the matching mechanism is indeed excellent."

Otonashi Sota nodded and said with a smile,

"One of you bought a bass guitar, and the other one can only play a few chords, but you're so proud of yourself, thinking you're invincible... In a sense, you're really good."

Kita Ikuyo & Chihaya Aine: "....."

"senior!"

"Zouzou!"

After a brief silence, both girls couldn't help but let out shameful complaints.

"Okay, enough nonsense, I'm going to the bathroom first, and when I come back we'll get ready to practice the piano."

Otonashi Sota smiled, waved his hand and walked into the back room.

Kita Ikuyo and Chihaya Aine couldn't help but look at each other.

After each other's secrets were exposed by Otonashi Sota, the two of them relaxed after the embarrassment and soon started chatting with each other.

The two briefly talked about their own situations. When Chihaya Aine heard that Kita Ikuyo could become the lead guitarist of the band even though she couldn't play the guitar, she couldn't help but envy him.

"Kita-chan, you're so lucky! You ran away and came back to be forgiven by everyone, and then you can continue to sit in the position of guitar lead singer... I wish I could have such a good teammate."

"Well, I'm really lucky to have met such gentle and reliable people like Sota-senpai and Nijika-senpai."

Kita Ikuyo also nodded in agreement. She always felt that she was very lucky to be able to join the End Band.

Hearing Kita Ikuyo say this, Chihaya Aine suddenly became even more envious.

Look at what kind of amazing teammates Kita and your teammates are.

It would be bad enough that he couldn't get the position of lead singer, but he also had to be under pressure from Li Xi.

The time when she feels happiest is always when the rehearsal is over and everyone is playing Three Kingdoms Kill together, chatting, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Sometimes she couldn't help but suggest to everyone that they should change the band into a board game club.

"By the way, Kita-chan, if you're practicing guitar, how good are your singing?"

Chihaya Aine asked curiously.

"I've never sung on stage, but I can usually sing perfectly in KTV."

Kita Ikuyo said confidently.

Although she is not good at playing guitar, she is still confident in singing.

"Come to think of it, I've never heard you sing, Xiduo. How about you sing a song later? Let me open my ears?"

At this time, Otonashi Sota, who had just returned from the bathroom, happened to hear their conversation and immediately became interested.


(P.S.: Calling her "Miss" is too hypocritical, calling her "Customer Service" is too realistic, calling her "Oblivionis" is too Western-worshiping, and calling her "Bai Yueguang" is too nostalgic. Good evening, my wife.)

"Okay!"
