Congratulations, Sushi, you have been optimized by me.

"Please... I'm a bad girl." Tsuzuki Chihiro said with a shameless look, "I cheated for food, drink and accommodation, and I'm also proficient in disguise, false voice, breaking into houses and picking locks, and petty theft.

Wouldn't it be easy to steal your phone while pretending to be your mother hugging you?

“…You bastard!”

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. It's no big deal... and the cat Lenai gave me is so cute. But you're the one who gives me a sour face every day. You don't act like a maid at all."

"Anyway, I'm definitely going to change this ID."

"It's up to you~"

Chihiro Tsuzuki didn't care about these things. She simply liked to make Su Shi angry, but she didn't really have any grudge against her.

However, Xiaoxiang's work efficiency did surprise her. She didn't pay much attention to it on the way just now, but now she has followed Su Shi into the elevator, and she has time to look at the specific lyrics.

"Cut line?"

"what?"

"I'm talking about the song that Miss Ob sent us."

"..." Nagasaki Suyo frowned and asked curiously, "You have a friend who can write lyrics? The one you know in England?"

"Can't I have friends? Why, you want to get to know some friends? How about I gather all my old friends over someday and introduce you to them?"

"……That was not what I meant."

For some reason, after hearing that she was not Chihiro's only good friend, Su Shi suddenly felt a little lost.

She didn't understand what was going on, it was as if she really hoped that someone like Chihiro, who deceived others every day for a living, shouldn't have anyone else who could be called a "friend".

And after hearing what Chihiro said, she was even more afraid of that situation happening, because she felt...that she didn't seem to understand Chihiro. To Chihiro, perhaps she was the one outside her circle.

"Forget it. Your friend has nothing to do with me. I don't care who this Miss OB is. She... loves whoever she is."

"That's what you said."

"That's all I'm saying, but... before, at Xiaozhi's house, thank you."

"Huh? Um...it's okay."

In fact, it was not a big deal. Before Chihiro and Suyo left Rupa's house, the four of them, in addition to discussing the division of labor in songwriting, the biggest problem was actually the selection of the lead singer.

Although Su Shi was pulled over by Chihiro, even Su Shi herself did not have the confidence to sing a song well. At that time, after she randomly picked a song to cover, she was severely criticized by Ebizuka Chi.

Just when RUPA was about to mediate the conflict, it was Chihiro who stood up first.

Su Shi still remembered that the guy in front of him played a song called "Fractal of Mental Image" originally uploaded by Red Ginger in front of Xiaozhi. As soon as the song played, Xiaozhi's voice came from the computer.

Although I later found out that it wasn't actually Xiaozhi's own singing voice, it was actually just a VOCALOID song made using Xiaozhi's voice source.

But at that moment, Chihiro's vicious mouth was truly unmatched.

"Are you cosplaying as Pikachu, Ash? Why is your voice so electric?"

"Tsuzuki Chihiro, what do you mean?! This is called a VOCALOID! And even so, it's more stable than Suyo's performance just now, right?"

"Ash, you know Pikachu is actually a mouse, right?"

"I know...w-what happened?"

"Don't you know? Rats are most afraid of traps?"

'……ha?!'

You know what, as soon as this sentence was uttered, the four people in the room, except Chihiro herself, the other three were defeated by this weird logic.

As the one being "protected" by Chihiro, Miss Claw Nagasaki Suyo didn't know whether she should thank Chihiro for standing up for her, or be angry why this guy's mouth hadn't been sewn up yet.

But no matter what... Chihiro was actually speaking for herself.

Moreover, the last sentence just happened to ease the tense atmosphere between the few people. After all... everyone couldn't help laughing.

Of course, except for Su Shi who still had a stern face.

"Chihiro, we are dealing with the red ginger issue here, but what about Lixi and Xiaoxiang?"

"Ok?"

Because they had agreed that Su Shi would temporarily live in Chihiro's house in the future, the door they opened was Chihiro's.

However, as soon as they walked in and took off their shoes, Nagasaki Suyo looked at Chihiro who was lying comfortably on the sofa and asked.

"Lixi and Xiaodeng... I feel like something's wrong with them right now. Normally, this shouldn't be the case, even if they're just arguing..."

Nagasaki Suyo said this and immediately brought up another matter, "Also, Xiaoxiang and Xiaomu now know that I'm going to form a band. Although they may have misunderstood that I'm leaving at the end of this semester, if they knew that Lixi and Xiaodeng had already formed a band, they wouldn't have called them over, right?"

"Well...that's true."

"Then you are not worried at all?"

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Chihiro Tsuzuki said, lifting her black silk stockings and fiddling with her long, smooth red hair. "They should be the ones who are in a hurry. After all, they only have one semester left.

Otherwise, you will have to leave with regrets."

"...Why do you make it sound like I'm going to be cremated at the end of this semester?"

"Ahem, please don't always think that I'm implying something about you."

"You didn't?"

"I'm telling you something serious."

Although she said so, Tsuzuki Chihiro was actually a little curious about what was going on with Riki.

Xiao Deng would definitely not come to say anything to him, and Aine probably didn't want to make him worry, so she didn't come to him to cry or complain at this time.

What's more... it's not necessarily that Aine has suffered any injustice. When she is not being targeted or bullied, the child is a little sun with positive energy.

As for Lenai, the band and such might not be as important to her as her sister "running away from home", right?

But only Li Xi made her feel a little confused. That seemingly silly girl hadn't contacted her in the past two days...

"How about I call Li Xi now?"

In any case, to achieve the happy ending that was originally intended, it is not enough to just solve Xiaoxiang's problem through the medium of red ginger.

The future of Aine and her new band is also an important question.

"Then you fight."

"Row."

After saying this, Chihiro took out her cell phone and called Shiina Riki.

The phone rang for almost a minute before the other end picked up the call, and after such a long wait, it was indeed the first moment after the call was connected that Chihiro understood the reason for the wait.

"Is it...Sushi? Or...Shuangshi?"

Will this child be driven crazy by her?

Tsuzuki Chihiro shook her head sympathetically, then continued shamelessly, "I'm Shuangshi."

"Shuangshi..."

"What's wrong, Riki? Your voice seems a little wrong?" Chihiro Tsuzuki frowned. She felt that Riki seemed a little strange today.

"I... just fell asleep while writing a song, and I had a weird dream."

"Dream?"

"Hmm..." Li Xi seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally deciding to tell the content of his dream. "I dreamed of you, or rather, Su Shi... I was outside a concert hall, and I grabbed Su Shi's collar. I seemed to be very angry at the time."

"Eh?"

Tsuzuki Chihiro was bewildered. She looked at Su Shi, who seemed curious about what she was talking about with Riki, and asked curiously, "Did Su Shi say anything?"

"I can't remember the rest of the words, I just remember she said...sodayo?"

Chapter 143: Su Shi: Is this really the end? (1/2)

Nagasaki Suyo found that Tsuzuki Chihiro was looking at her with strange eyes. Although she was talking to Li Xi, she always felt like she had become the one who was kept in the dark again.

And... Li Xi is still the one playing the drums.

"What about the rest? Is this the only sentence you heard?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki didn't pay much attention to what Riki said, but since it was a nightmare, and a nightmare related to Su Shi, she couldn't help but ask a few more questions about it.

What made her feel a little regretful was that Li Xi on the other end of the phone actually didn't quite understand what was going on.

She was silent for a moment, then explained half-guessingly and half-affirmatively:

"I can't remember what I said to Su Shi at that time. I only remember that I was angry at Su Shi, and Su Shi's mood at that time... must have been very low and desperate?

I guess I might have done something wrong to Su Shi, like betraying her trust or doing something to cause the band to disband.

Is this what makes Su Shi completely disappointed in me?"

"Eh?"

Chihiro Tsuzuki didn't expect that Riki would actually make such an association. It seems that this former little wolfdog really can't get over the hurdle of "split personality".

"It's just a dream, it doesn't mean anything." Chihiro shook her head and decided to ask something serious. "Speaking of which...how is the band doing now?"

"band……"

After this word was mentioned, Lixi's reaction was obviously a little wrong, which may be related to the dream she just mentioned.

"Shuangshi, am I a failure? I can't do anything right..."

Hearing Li Xi's sudden negative mood, who seemed to only say these words when facing herself, Qianxun raised the corners of her mouth slightly and asked gently:

"Why do you think so? Li Xi is obviously working hard, isn't he?"

"Deng said...she doesn't want to sing anymore."

"Really?" This surprised Chihiro, but it wasn't too strange. "Xiao Deng probably just recalled some bad memories. After all, she always thought it was because she didn't work hard enough."

"That day... our performance was really bad."

Shiina Riki didn't know that both "Souyo" she was talking to at the moment, and Suyo herself, actually already knew what the LIVE that day was like. She just stood from her own perspective and said what she had never dared to say to Suyo.

"Shuangshi, you worked hard on your bass and recorded some last-minute stuff... but we messed everything up.

No one was prepared, and as soon as they got on stage, Aine panicked. She made three mistakes in a row, and finally managed to calm down and return to her proper level.

As a result... the light had problems again."

The disastrous LIVE performance dealt a huge blow to the band members. Of course, the ones who were hit the hardest were Li Xi and Xiao Deng.

After the LIVE ended, on Monday the next day, Li Xi sent a message in the group, stopping the band's activities on the pretext of "taking a break after the LIVE".

Although no one raised any questions in the group, Lixi himself knew that when this holiday would end and whether it could end... were actually problems.

"When the performance ended that day, I actually saw Xiangzi in the audience..."

If it were in the past, Li Xi might not have mentioned this name, because she knew that Su Shi would definitely stand on Xiangzi's side, but now she is facing another Su Shi, the one who doesn't care so much about Xiangzi.

"Xiangzi?"

"Well... I don't know why she came here that day. Maybe someone told her that we would be performing here." Li Xi paused and continued, "Su Shi, I'm sorry... I didn't lead everyone to surpass Xiangzi."

"So, they haven't come to RiNG in the past two days?"

"Not really." Li Xi worked at RiNG, after all, even if she didn't know it was the business of the person she was calling. "Deng hasn't been here. Lenai came once, but she just came to have a parfait, said something incomprehensible to me, and left."

"What did she say?"

"She said...my sister isn't here either."

"...What about Aine?" Chihiro felt helpless about the little Rakuna who was "hunting" her everywhere, but she was still quite curious about what was going on with Aine.

"Well, Aine came once, but...she seemed to be the only one who thought we were actually on vacation."

"what?"

Okay, okay...it's worthy of her.

Although I don’t know if Aine is playing dumb, if that child doesn’t actually think there’s anything to worry about with this failed LIVE, maybe she really doesn’t think that Riki and Xiao Deng are already thinking about whether they should run away.

"Let's find a time in a few days this week to get everyone together and talk."

The matter still needed to be resolved, but before hanging up the phone, Chihiro added, "By the way, Li Xi, if Xiangzi asks me if I'm in a band with you guys... I hope you can keep it a secret for me.

Su Shi's current situation is a bit complicated, and I don't want her to be troubled by Xiangzi's entanglement."
