Mygo, this is not the ending I want!

Then the performance begins again.

Chihaya Aine made another mistake and the performance stopped again.

After a break, the performance continued, but Chihaya Aine's continuous mistakes made it impossible for the performance to proceed to the second half.

"enough!"

Shiina Riki couldn't stand it anymore.

"We are so old, aren't we just playing house?"

In her opinion, Chihaya Aine first deceived them and now was interfering with everyone's practice. In her opinion, Chihaya Aine was simply here to cause trouble.

At this moment, a silver-haired girl with heterochromia in the corridor heard the sound in the training room.

She secretly opened the door of the training room and looked through the crack to see what was happening inside.

Takamatsu Deng saw Shiina Riki's anger, she looked at Chihaya Aine and said: "Riki..."

Shiina Riki forced himself to calm down.

"I believe Aine is just not very familiar with band performance. It can be done slowly." Nagasaki Suyo comforted Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine lowered her head and nodded slightly.

There was no expression on her face anymore.

"Interesting..." Kaname Rakuna, who was hiding behind the door, blinked.

Suzukisuke looked at Chihaya Aine and smiled at her.

Chihaya Aine responded with a forced smile on her face.

Seeing that everyone was comforting Chihaya Aine, Shiina Riki closed his eyes.

She believes that the band should not be just playing house.

Chihaya Aine's guitar playing was already a big problem, and her frequent mistakes prevented the band from performing completely.

This is a very serious problem.

Shiina Riki opened her closed eyes and looked at Chihaya Aine. She took a deep breath and exhaled: "I hope you can continue to practice well."

She stopped talking.

Chihaya Aine nodded slightly and sat aside.

The silver-haired girl behind the door saw that the matter had calmed down, so she shook her head in boredom. She closed the door of the training room and walked away.

Suzukisuke noticed that the door of the training room had just shaken, but he ignored it.

You still maintain a good relationship with Shiina Riki. She is surprised by your progress in music theory and thinks you might be able to take on more difficult composition exercises.

You video call Shiina Maki every night. When Shiina Maki hears that you want to improve your composition skills, she encourages you with a smile and tells you some advanced composition techniques. You listen very carefully.

Chihaya Aine practices guitar diligently every day, with a band-aid on her hand.

Suzuki Suke felt heartbroken when he saw the Band-Aids on Chihaya Aine's beautiful, white, slender hands.

"What a pity..."

[However, Chihaya Aine's frantic practice caused her rhythm to become disrupted.]

She was stuck in a vicious cycle of working hard but not making much progress.

She began to doubt whether she had any talent for music.

She felt tortured every time she came to the training room.

She still hasn't given up playing with everyone, and she hopes to become a qualified guitarist.

【But at the same time, she also became more and more cautious.】

[She was afraid of being scolded by Shiina Riki again, and she was afraid of Shiina Riki's gaze.]

[But the more afraid she is, the more likely she is to get into trouble.]

She had problems with the group's performance for several days in a row.

Every time something went wrong, her heart skipped a beat.

[She was afraid that Shiina Riki would blame her, which made her extremely tormented...]

[Shiina Riki would suppress her emotions, and Chihaya Aine would breathe a sigh of relief at such times.]

But she always felt like she was walking on thin ice in the band...

This time, Chihaya Aine encountered a more serious problem during her performance...

[Shiina Riki can no longer bear it...]

Volume 172: 4, Shiina Riki receives critical damage (k)

Shiina Riki felt that her tolerance was already very strong, but she couldn't stand a guitarist who disrupted everyone's performance plans again and again.

"That's enough, stop it!"

Shiina Riki listened to the sudden guitar sound still echoing in the training room, hit the drum head hard and shouted.

Chihaya Aine subconsciously shrank her head.

She was like a whacked mole now, and Shiina Riki's words were like the hammer, and she was afraid of being hit.

But reality isn't like a game of whack-a-mole that can be dodged.

Because Shiina Riki's eyes have been locked on her.

That sharp gaze like a cold ray left her nowhere to hide.

"I, I..." Chihaya Aine felt her heart pounding with fear.

She seemed to be running out of excuses. Previously, she could have said that she was new to group music and wasn't used to it, but now, that excuse was no longer effective. So she could only lower her head and whisper, "I'm sorry."

Shiina Riki looked at Chihaya Aine, not knowing what to say to her.

The dissatisfaction she had accumulated for a long time had reached a threshold that was enough to explode.

"That's enough. I believe you know your own shortcomings, right?"

"We're not here to play house with you. We need a guitarist who can keep up with our rhythm. So, could you please leave the band?"

Shiina Riki has tried his best to control his emotions.

Now that you have started forming a band, you must take it seriously.

Every band goes for the stage and for fame.

So she felt that letting Chihaya Aine stay in the band would only hold everyone back.

Chihaya Aine's hair hung down, and from the front, her eyes could no longer be seen. She pursed her lips, and the crystal clear tears in her eyes fell down, hitting the floor of the training room heavily and spreading out.

"S-Sorry, it's my fault. I'll leave now."

Chihaya Aine could no longer bear this kind of pressure. She now clearly realized that her ability was indeed a drag among everyone else.

She wiped her tears with her sleeves, but her eyes were still very bright and clear. As soon as she wiped them away, tears flowed again.

She lowered her head, put the guitar in her arms in place, then put on her guitar backpack and walked towards the door of the training room.

She pushed the door open.

boom--!

The door suddenly opened and bumped into the silver-haired girl with heterochromia who was eavesdropping at the door.

The girl covered her forehead and groaned, "It hurts..."

Chihaya Aine bent down and apologized: "I'm sorry!"

Then she quickened her pace and ran away.

A long wet mark can be seen on the ground, running intermittently from the training room to the outside.

At this time, Takamatsu Deng and Nagasaki Suyo didn't know what to do.

Gao Songdeng looked at Shiina Riki and shook his head: "Riki..."

Shiina Riki thought he had controlled his tone and manner of speaking as much as possible: "Deng, she doesn't know how to play the guitar at all. She can't play with us. I think this is the best way to handle it."

Gao Songdeng fell silent, she didn't know what to do.

A guitarist who can't play with everyone obviously can't form a band with everyone.

But when she invited Chihaya Aion to join the band, she already regarded Chihaya Aion as a member of the band.

Since we are all members of a band, it is natural for us to grow together, right?

Therefore, Takamatsu Deng was somewhat unable to accept Shiina Riki's approach.

"After all, Aine is a member of the band. Unless she gives up on her own, we will never abandon her."

Gao Songdeng said with a firm look.

Shiina Riki was a little surprised by Deng's performance.

In her heart, the light had rarely been so strong.

She had no choice but to turn her attention to Nagasaki Suyo.

Nagasaki Suyo smiled helplessly: "Lixi, I also think that we shouldn't abandon our friends so easily..."

For Nagasaki Suyo, the most important thing about forming a band is the bond and emotions among everyone; being able to perform on stage or become famous is incidental.

Shiina Riki had no choice but to look at Suzuki Suke.

Suzukisuke looked into Shiina Riki's eyes and said, "Actually, I'm pretty much the same as Aine. Since everyone can tolerate me, they should be able to tolerate Aine too, right?"

Only then did Shiina Riki react.

By doing this, I obviously forgot about Jie, who was still in the band. As a guitar beginner, he didn't really join in the playing, but everyone still treated him as a member of the band. If I kicked Chihaya Aine out of the band, what would Jie think...

Because she had a better relationship with Suzuki Jie, she subconsciously ignored this point.

"Feel sorry..."

Shiina Riki lowered his head slightly.

【Because of Shiina Tatsuki's words, Chihaya Aine left the band. 】

"Alas, poor pink-haired girl..." Suzuki Jie shook his head.

He actually guessed that it would not be easy to form a band with Shiina Riki.

Judging from Shiina Riki's character, being the gang leader can indeed subdue everyone, but the gap between a band and a gang is 170,000 kilometers.

A band needs emotions and bonds.

Shiina Riki is only gentle with people close to her, and she is like a hedgehog and difficult to get along with others.

Suzuki felt that this was a big problem.

"Let's see how it develops..." Suzuki continued the simulation.

【The only person who can communicate with Chihaya Aion regularly is Takamatsu Touma, so Takamatsu Touma decides to take the initiative to bring Chihaya Aion back to the band.】

In order to win back Chihaya Aion, Takamatsu Deng came to school early in the morning. She sat quietly in her seat waiting for Chihaya Aion to arrive.

Meanwhile, Chihaya Aine walked into the classroom slowly and sat at the table behind Takamatsu Deng.

Takamatsu Deng noticed that Chihaya Aine was no longer carrying her guitar backpack.

"Aine...Good morning." Takamatsu Deng took the initiative to greet her.

Chihaya Aine gave a somewhat forced smile: "Good morning, Deng."

She didn't know how to face Gao Songdeng.

Because she was kicked out of the band just yesterday.

Now she didn't know in what capacity she should talk to Takamatsu Deng, as an expellee or as a friend?

"I apologize on Lixi's behalf for what she said yesterday. I hope you don't take it to heart... We are still good friends in a band..." Gao Songdeng said.

Chihaya Aine felt scared when she heard the band.

Only then did she realize that forming a band was such a terrifying thing, and the pressure she had to bear was far beyond her imagination.
