Their restricted abilities are refreshed every week.

Li Xi's eyes widened.

Could it be that the light has become this kid's... during this time when he was unfamiliar with me...

"——Shirakawa-kun, this is the band-aid from the Penguin series you asked me to collect yesterday."

After a brief moment of awkwardness, it was Takamatsu Deng who broke the silence first. He took out a small iron box from his shoulder bag and placed it on the table.

Then he carefully opened it, revealing four penguin band-aids wrapped in a transparent protective film.

Oh, I almost forgot about this...

After a moment of hesitation, Baichuan Qing immediately leaned forward, took the iron box with both hands, and looked at the ordinary band-aid inside.

Then, she revealed a surprised expression and immediately gave the Takamatsu lantern an emotional value: "This series is really both cute and practical! To be honest, I have never found a satisfactory one on online shopping platforms before. It is worthy of being a lantern."

"Ah! I'm glad to be able to help you, Shirakawa-kun..."

Just as Shirakawa Haru was about to take out the band-aids, he heard Takamatsu Deng say, "I'll give you this box as well."

Then when I go back, I will have to hold this iron box in my hands all the time.

——Of course, Shirakawa Haru didn't say such a disappointing words. Instead, he put them away solemnly.

Takamatsu Deng smiled with relief.

Li Xi, who was hiding behind the crack of the door and watched the whole process but couldn't hear any sound, had a different expression. Finally, his face became gloomy and no one knew what he was thinking.

"What would you like to drink, Deng?"

"Well, I can order it myself..."

Baichuan Qing snapped his fingers, interrupting the girl's words: "Just think of it as a thank you for finding me a Penguin series return gift. Please allow me to do this small favor... Waiter, take your order!"

Someone immediately came over from behind the back kitchen door.

"A glass of orange juice on the rocks, please."

Seeing that Shirakawa Haru actually mentioned his favorite drink, Takamatsu Deng, who was originally a little depressed, immediately became cheerful.

She remembered that she had never told Shirakawa-kun that she liked this...

"A glass of orange juice..."

This time, when taking the order, Li Xi stood by the table for an especially long time, repeating what Shirakawa Haru said - as if he was waiting for something.

Shirakawa Haru looked at Li Xi in confusion, while Li Xi glanced at Deng out of the corner of his eye, and Takamatsu Deng stared at Shirakawa Haru blankly.

Triangle, stability.

"Shiina-san..."

"lamp……!"

Li Xi's voice instantly suppressed Baichuan Qing. She swallowed her saliva and looked at Gao Songdeng who was frightened and suddenly looked at her. She tried her best to squeeze out a gentle tone:

"Um, Deng, long time no see..."

Gao Songdeng stared at Li Xi blankly, not understanding the situation at all.

Only then did Shirakawa Haru remember that Li Xi and Deng seemed to be in the same band!

But why does the relationship between them seem weird?

——Could it be that Li Xi often turned off the lights due to stress in crychic, causing the lights to fall into a long period of isolation and thus causing the band to disband?

——It feels reasonable.

I can only say that this is what pressure is like.

——Although this "stress monster Lixi" will put the greatest pressure on himself before putting pressure on others, it still cannot change the fact that he often puts pressure on others.

Deng just stared at Li Xi with his mouth slightly open, but Li Xi couldn't stand this kind of gaze and atmosphere any longer. He coughed heavily, and after successfully scaring the little animal again, he said:

"I'm going to go get you some orange juice, Deng!"

After saying that, Li Xi walked quickly towards the kitchen.

"Huh? Lixi?"

It was not until this moment that Takamatsu Deng seemed to realize that the person standing in front of him was his friend whom he had not seen for a long time, his former bandmate Shiina Tatsuki.

Kelixi has left.

So Takamatsu Deng had no choice but to turn to Shirakawa Haru for help, asking him to give some explanation.

"Shiina-san works part-time here."

Baichuan Qing spread his hands: "I just met her here too - Deng, have you ever been blamed by her before?"

"Not this one."

After saying this, the two of them fell into a long silence again.

Shirakawa Haru was wondering why Li Xi's behavior was so strange just now, while Deng Chunchun couldn't find a topic to talk about, so she just lowered her head and kept her mouth shut.

The silence was not broken until Lixi brought over the iced orange juice.

Gao Songdeng took the orange juice and said, "Thank you."

"Uh, you're welcome!"

Li Xi thoughtfully put a looped retractable straw in the glass and added some orange juice. He hesitated for two seconds and said, "Um, the light."

After looking at Baichuan Qing, she still spoke:

"Why are you staying with this guy... Shirakawa?"

After taking a sip of orange juice, Takamatsu Deng pursed his lips and finally told the truth: "Because, Shirakawa-kun invited me to join his band."

——Then I want to join too!

Just as he was about to blurt out these words, Li Xi completely understood the meaning of these words.

Who?

Shirakawa's band?

"what……?"

She turned around in disbelief and saw Shirakawa Haru smiling at her.

Shiina Riki was in chaos.

Chapter 31: Want to Hypnotize Chihaya Aine

Deng, joined the band of this guy named Shirakawa Haru?

Li Xi stared at Baichuan Qing in a daze.

She rarely stares at someone's face so impolitely - especially if the other person is a "stranger" whom she has only known for a short time.

But the amount of information contained in this sentence was so overwhelming that she was a little overwhelmed.

"Oh……"

Before Shirakawa Haru could say anything, Li Xi nodded as if he understood.

——But although I was invited to join, I haven’t actually joined yet.

That's what she thought in her heart.

So, maybe this band isn't fully formed yet?

Although Li Xi doesn't have much affection for Shirakawa Haru, she is still willing to join if she can be in the same band with Deng.

As long as she can be with Deng, it doesn’t matter if there are a few more Shirakawa Haru in the team - at most she will just curse at them a few more times.

Coincidentally, the brown-haired clerk at the back also spoke up: "Lixi, have you met a friend? Then you two can chat for a while, and I'll do the work."

After that, the waiter started to make matcha parfait - of course, it was ordered by Lena who was sitting at the bar and looking forward to it.

After getting permission to slack off, Li Xi breathed a sigh of relief. Without asking Baichuan Qing, he pulled out a chair and sat down.

Baichuan Qing looked at this scene and his mind raced.

——You clearly didn’t want to talk to me before, but now you can sit at the same table with me.

Sure enough, it’s because of the lights.

Shirakawa Haru feels that Riki's feelings towards Deng are a bit like Soyo's feelings towards Xiangzi... probably.

However, this is a good thing.

It just so happened that the team was lacking a capable drummer - and with Maki, a sister who was one of the best talents in all of Tokyo, even though Lixi's talent was far inferior to her sister's, she had definitely maintained her lower limit.

Not to mention, after joining the team, people come with an aura-like buff, which brings too many benefits.

In this way, one's own tasks will be greatly reduced.

If a drummer joins the band, as long as Aine says "Keyboards are not needed", his commitment will end there and then - once the band is completed, he will have nothing to do with it anymore.

Great!

——I didn’t expect that Xiao Bi Deng could automatically capture potential band members in the wild.

Shirakawa Haru couldn't help but smile.

"Deng, is the band you're in still short of people?"

Speak your mind directly.

It fits Ms. Lixi's personality very well.

He was just about to put the words "I want to join a band" on the table.

"what……"

Faced with this situation, Deng hesitated for a while, and finally pointed at Baichuan Qing and said: "Actually, I'm not too sure. If you want to know the details, you should ask Baichuan-kun."

So the next moment, Baichuan Qing could feel a pair of eyes cast towards him.

But there is no sound.

——Alas, what a shy woman.

Shirakawa Haru sighed inwardly, then pretended to think thoughtfully and said, "Shiina-san, were you in a band before? Could you please tell me your position? To be honest, we already have a few people in the band..."

Lixi's expression changed slightly, and she continued, "Drummer, I'm the drummer."

"Ah, the drummer."

Baichuan Qing stretched out his tone, teasing Li Xi for a while, and only continued when the other party's brow began to twitch:

"If it's the drummer, then it's quite a coincidence."

……

"It's such a hot day, why did you come all the way to Ikebukuro?"

Wearing a beret and sunglasses, dressed like a detective, Yuki Suho stood far away opposite RING, holding a small telescope in his hand, secretly observing across the street.

"And he actually sat with that guy called Takamatsu Deng and an unknown guy."

As I recall, Gao Songdeng seemed to be sitting in front of my brother.

Tsk, the location is really good.

After taking out her phone and searching for the store "RING", Yuki's eyes behind her sunglasses showed confusion.

band?

When will this brother have the time and leisure to play this kind of JK house game - wasn't he complaining about the hard work of the trainer some time ago?

Yuki, who has a keen sense of smell, feels that there must be something fishy going on.

She closed her eyes and began to scroll through her memories from front to back.

Soon, Yuki grinned out loudly: "So that's how it is... That girl named Chihaya Aine has caught a little handle on my brother."

A little, insignificant handle.

If it were her, she would definitely not waste her time in such a place - she could only sigh that her brother was so kind-hearted.

Yuki visualized Chihaya Aine's image in her mind, then looked at the ancient pages in front of her.
