Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"it's over……"

"it's over?"

"Yeah." Tsuzuki Chihiro nodded, "The first song of the new Red Ginger is finally finished."

But it’s a pity that the little guy who wrote the lyrics has run away.

Come to think of it, this blue-haired monster has been doing really inhuman things over the past year. He first wrote music for existing lyrics, and then ran away not long after finishing it.

Now I wrote lyrics for songs that didn’t have music, and… well, it ran even faster this time.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Chihiro Tsuzuki had never seen anyone more unreasonable than her, but anger had to be vented somewhere, right?

Thinking of this, Chihiro Tsuzuki looked at the little Tangren who had been making a lot of noise since the beginning, and a sly smile flashed across her lips.

When you have nothing to do, playing with little Ain is a good pastime.

Chapter 176 Chihiro, We're Even (1/2)

It is difficult to come up with answers to many things if you think about them alone, but if you find a good friend you can trust and have a good chat with him/her, even if there is no better solution at the moment, the anxiety in your heart will be relieved a lot.

For example, tonight, after Chihaya Aine finally waited for Chihiro to finish her unknown work and sacrificed her own butt, she finally told her about all the strange things that happened in the band in the past few days.

"So, Aine, why do you have to be so obsessed with this band? Wouldn't it be better to switch to another one?"

"Sister Qianxun...is this what you said?"

Chihaya Aine was a little unhappy. She put her hands on her waist and retorted in an unconvinced tone: "Who said that I lack patience and that I like to find excuses to be lazy even when practicing the piano?

When I encountered problems and difficulties at this time, instead of persuading me to persevere and find a way to solve them, you actually wanted me to run away?

Oh, I see. Are you testing me on purpose?"

"Really?" Tsuzuki Chihiro smiled, "It seems that little Aine is growing up very quickly. Although she is sometimes very stubborn, her determination seems to be very strong.

The people I know, on the other hand, are the ones who think of giving up as soon as they have a problem."

Of course, this sentence also applies to Chihiro herself.

What surprised her was that in her opinion, both Aiyin and Su Shi should choose to give up, but it turned out that each of them was more stubborn than the other.

Of course, the situation on Su Shi’s side might also be because she didn’t know that Xiangzi was very different from the Xiangzi she imagined?

However, finding the original Xiangzi is also one of her jobs.

“But I do have a headache now…”

"Because you haven't seen weirdos as difficult to deal with as Xiao Deng and Li Xi, right?"

"Indeed."

When Chihaya Aine said this, she looked at the girl who had her arm around her shoulders with an ambiguous look. What she was thinking was that it would be great if all teammates in the world could be as considerate and easy to communicate with as Sister Chihiro.

But if you think about it, everyone has a different personality. Sister Chihiro may also have some shortcomings and problems, but she habitually magnifies Sister Chihiro's strengths and ignores all her shortcomings.

For example, the biggest shortcoming is that Sister Qianxun especially likes to bully herself.

"And your good sister, Lenai-chan..."

"What happened to Lenai?"

"...Forget it. I'm afraid you'll come and spank me again because you're protecting your sister."

"I am......."

Just when Chihiro wanted to prove that she was not such an unreasonable person, her cell phone rang crisply.

Although it was a bit of a spoiler to suddenly take out her phone while being intimate with Aine, her long-standing habit and some recent events made her stop her previous actions and turn around to take out her phone.

"what happened?"

"Hmm...it's a message from Li Xi."

"Lixi?" Aine was stunned for a moment, "Wait, why are you hooking up with Lixi again?!"

Chihiro Tsuzuki rolled her eyes. She was too lazy to pay attention to this big pink-haired dog who was acting like a child in front of her and liked to make trouble.

However, the content of this text message made her feel a little strange, because... Li Xi's first sentence was to apologize to her.

But the question is, did she do anything to let Li Xi down?

Well, it seems that I have done quite a few things of this kind.

Following this "I'm sorry" was Li Xi's explanation.

[I met Xiangzi, but I couldn't control my emotions and got angry with her.

I know that doing this goes against Su Shi's expectations, but as Su Shi's good friend, Chihiro, you should also know that this plan between you and her is actually unfair to everyone, right?

Therefore, I hope that everyone can sit together this Saturday and talk things out. After all, everyone left because they did not talk things out before.

So, I will be waiting for you at 2pm on Saturday.

What does this guy mean? Qianxun is confused for a moment.

According to the information Su Shi had given him before, Li Xi's personality didn't seem to be like this. How come after these days, this guy seemed like a different person?

However, if we have to say which Li Xi is better, then the current Li Xi is indeed much better than the Li Xi who attacked pink-haired girls at random at the beginning.

"Let me see~"

"Don't make trouble."

"How on earth did you know Li Xi? Chihiro, shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

“…You’ll know when the time comes.”

Although she said so, Chihiro herself couldn't explain when this so-called "then" would be.

And she didn't know from which moment on, this plan that she originally thought was "perfect" began to go astray. Now she is no longer sure whether she can achieve the perfect ending according to the original plan.

There is one problem with Xiaoxiang, and I haven't had time to deal with Xiaomu's affairs recently. I have changed the minds of both of them during this period of time.

But the problem is that Su Shi's thoughts are still a little confusing. As for Li Xi...his personality seems to have improved a lot, but his hostility towards Xiangzi is also growing.

Wait.......

Qianxun suddenly thought of a question.

"Aine, what day is it today?"

"Friday...what's wrong?"

"Does that mean tomorrow is Saturday?!"

"......Sister Qianxun, are you stupid?"

"......"

How could time have flown so quickly? It looked like tomorrow's band meeting was destined to be filled with undercurrents, perhaps even bloody events.

"Eh? I got a message from Rikki too~ Um... We're all going to have a meeting at RiNG tomorrow at 2pm. Who will I kill if you don't go? Tsk tsk, this Rikki just can't talk properly!"

"......"

"That's great, Chihiro. It seems everyone is still thinking about solving the problem!"

Chihaya Aine was so happy that she was about to jump up on the bed, but she didn't notice that Chihiro next to her looked a little embarrassed at the moment.

"Chihiro, since you know Riki, why don't you come with me tomorrow?"

“I won’t go…”

"why?"

"This kind of thing... ahem, it has nothing to do with me, right?"

"Who said that? Maybe we can all form a band together in the future? I feel like having you in the band..."

"Then you're gone, idiot."

"Eh?" Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that she was indeed a loser in the eyes of the two sisters of the Tsuzuki family, "That's true... Chihiro, you should not go."

"......You stinky girl."

.

At the same time, in another corner of the city, Shiina Riki had just put down the mobile phone in his hand and concealed the excitement in his eyes.

She looked at Nagasaki Suyo, who seemed to be in good condition and smiling from beginning to end, and said:

"Sushi, can you come to RiNG tomorrow afternoon?"

"Tomorrow afternoon?"

"Yes, just you and me." Shiina Riki lied. "After all, aren't you planning to leave Tokyo at the end of this semester? I plan to prepare a gift for you before you leave."

"You, prepare a gift for me?"

"......Just tell me whether you're coming or not! Tomorrow afternoon at 2:, remember."

"Okay." Nagasaki Suyo rolled her eyes. At this point, she was too lazy to argue with this big fool.

Since this guy clearly wants to send me away, then I will really make a glorious exit like this, which will be fair to everyone.

Moreover, he had done unfair things to Chihiro before and drove her away without any reason.

So this time she was replaced by Chihiro, which made her and Chihiro even.

Chapter 177: Are there two Sushi? (2/2)

"Today... we have to decide on the other candidates."

After school on Saturday morning, it was time for a one and a half day weekend holiday. However, Xiangzi had a lot to do this weekend.

Since she had quit her job, the first thing she had to do was to find a new job to cover her expenses this month.

But apart from that, she also needs to take some time to think about the specific details of a commercial band plan.

Originally, Xiangzi had an idea that those people from Red Ginger might be able to be brought over.

But this idea naturally did not stay in her mind for too long. After all, she and Chihiro had broken up now, and she was too shameless to go and cooperate with someone else's friends at this time.

"Xiaoxiang, I can recommend someone to you."

In the coffee shop, Xiangzi was having a video call with Chuhua on her mobile phone, and on the table in front of her were some printed text materials.

If you look closely, you will find that the information above is basically from video bloggers who have been popular on YouTube in recent times.

But this alone was still not enough, so when Chuhua called her via video and said he wanted to help her come up with an idea, Xiangzi did not refuse too much.

"Do you know anyone who's reliable?"

"My classmate, Hachiman Kailing."

"Hachiman Kailing..."

"I can ask about this for you. She probably won't refuse. After all, she's a reliable person who works part-time as a bassist in many bands. As long as the time is arranged properly, she probably won't object."

"What's your ability?"

"You can take a look at her recent performance video. I'll send it to your phone later. But if I were to judge personally, her ability is professional-level and definitely more than enough."

"...Okay." At this point, Xiangzi showed a sincere smile, "Thank you, Chuhua... If it weren't for your help, I might still be having a headache about how to proceed with these things."

Unexpectedly, the meeting with Chuhua on the island when they were young would lead them to become good friends who have known each other ever since. Even after a year's gap, this friendship has not disappeared.

This made Toyokawa Shoko feel a little fortunate. She was glad that she had made that call yesterday and then went to find Chuhua to meet her.

But... she was also very grateful to Chihiro for her company these days.

Regardless of whether it was a lie or not, at least during these days, there was someone who gave her some comfort during her most difficult times. Even after knowing the truth... she still couldn't completely accept it all.

"The bassist will tentatively be Hachiman Kairin. I can play guitar while singing lead. Xiaoxiang, you can be the keyboardist... so the remaining ones are the lead guitarist and the drummer."

"As for the guitar... I already have someone chosen, and as for the drummer... I'll look for it again."

"Come on, Xiaoxiang... I believe you can succeed."

.......

On Saturday afternoon, the flow of people in RiNG was obviously much larger than usual. Li Xi, who was working here and waiting for someone, wiped the spoon in his hand while looking at the table not far away.

Deng and Aine had already sat there early. Aine seemed to be chattering away while playing mobile games, while Deng... had piled up sticky notes on the table, as if he was writing lyrics.
