There are always girls in bands who want to date me

She blew away the hot air gently, then began to eat it in small bites, looking very polite and well-mannered like a young lady.

Fortunately, when leaving the store, Xiao Mutou had changed the black and white maid outfit into the dark green uniform of Tsuki no Mori. Otherwise, a girl in a maid outfit would look like a young lady.

Uh... Liu, Liulichuan?

"Qiuqiu, I want one too, eh~"

Seeing this, the pink-haired girl beside him pulled his sleeve, pointed to her own mouth, and slightly opened her cherry lips.

"what……"

No, what are you thinking, you sugar-powdered girl? How can you possibly play feeding play in public?!

Chapter 168 Qiu is my 'hero'

"Here, Aine, but it's very hot, so remember to blow it well."

Sakuragawa Aki picked up a piece of grilled meat with the serving chopsticks and put it in Chihaya Aine's bowl, then picked up another piece and gave it to the little penguin.

"Lights too, here."

"...Thank you, Qiu."

The little penguin held the bowl in both hands, his gaze slightly avoided, his amber eyes wandering around, as if he felt a little embarrassed.

"Oh, what a shame~"

Aine-chan, who was standing by, had a look of regret on her little face, as if she didn't get to enjoy Qiuqiu's feeding play.

She put the tender and juicy piece of meat into her mouth, and then immediately blew hot air from her scalding mouth, and quickly pulled Sakuragawa Aki's sleeve with her little hand.

“…Mmmmm (It’s so hot) Mmmmm (It’s so hot)~”

"I told you to blow it properly, seriously."

Sakuragawa Aki helplessly poured a cup of green tea and handed it over considerately, watching the clumsy pink-haired girl gulp it down.

"Huh~ I'm alive, thank you Qiuqiu~" After taking a few sips of ice-cold green tea, Aine-chan let out a long sigh. "Ugh... my tongue feels burning. I thought I was going to die."

She stuck out her pink little tongue and fanned it gently with her little hands, looking pitiful.

Looking at the pink-haired girl beside him whose movements were cute yet a little seductive, Sakuragawa Aki patted her head helplessly.

"Thank you for your patronage. The service fee is 10,000 yen."

"Wow~ Qiuqiu is so expensive!"

"Do you really have to use such a strange expression..."

While the two were chatting, the others were also busy, eating the delicious barbecue and talking and laughing with each other.

The beef is full of rich gravy and paired with honey barbecue sauce, which is a favorite for both sweet and salty people.

Sitting in the corner, Yamada Ryo was happily eating, while Hongxia Mama and Kita-chan were happily chatting non-stop, perfectly interpreting what the double Yangjiao bond is.

Well, as for Pochi-chan, who was sandwiched between the two of them, she had a look of despair on her face, and it seemed as if she had turned gray.

A social phobic is sandwiched between two social bullies. What kind of torture is this?

In short, everyone enjoyed the barbecue with gusto. Only when everyone was about 70% full did Ichichi Hongxia cough lightly and stand up with her drink.

"Hey everyone, anyway, thank you so much Aine-chan and Deng-chan for coming to our first live, and Mu-chan too, you all really worked hard to support us~"

She raised her drink high, a happy smile on her pretty face.

"Also, we also want to welcome the two new members, Pochi-chan and Kita-chan, to the band. Applause~ clapping~ clapping~"

Sakuragawa Aki held his chin with his hand and smiled slightly, watching the girl with blonde side ponytail give a simple speech and the undisguised joy on the girl's pretty face.

It seems that the success of this live performance also made Hongxia's mother very happy. Whether it was the addition of new members or the happy experience of the performance together, it made the girl feel that she was one step closer to her dream.

ー澪?樲⒉８３○⒐仈

But having said that, this kind of speech... should be given at the very beginning of the dinner.

Could it be that I was so happy that I accidentally forgot?

"...Hey, Qiu."

Just when Sakuragawa Aki was feeling satisfied and full and was about to be lost in thought, Ijichi Hongxia suddenly called his name, bringing him back to his senses.

? ?

Sakuragawa Aki looked at Hongxia Mama with some confusion.

"I've always wanted to say this."

Ijichi Hongxia had a gentle smile on her face, with a hint of warm light appearing in her red eyes, and spoke in a serious tone.

"Thank you. Without Qiu, nothing would have gone so smoothly. So... I'm very grateful for everything Qiu has done for the band."

Sakuragawa Aki blinked slightly, then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he shook his head.

"I just did some insignificant things. Whether it's the band or daily practice, isn't it you, the leader, who put in the most effort, both in terms of time and energy?"

He turned around and looked at the four girls with different styles opposite him and said with a smile.

"Besides, even without me, I believe everyone will be able to form a band smoothly."

Sakuragawa Aki did not lie about ending the band.

Whether it was daily practice or recruiting members, Hong Xia and Liang actually did more than him, both in terms of time spent and effort put in.

After all, Sakuragawa Aki also has to lead the mygo band, so he naturally doesn't have much energy to spare.

Therefore, he will not say anything irresponsible, nor will he think about how important and critical the role he plays is.

He did play a certain guiding role in ensuring the smooth running of the live performance and the successful joining of Pochi-chan and Kita-chan, but it was also the result of everyone's joint efforts.

If the girls were just a bunch of loose sand, selfish and indifferent, then no matter how hard he tried to persuade them, he would only get half the result with half the effort.

The reason why things went so smoothly was simply because I met the right person at the right time.

"No, it's not." Ijichi Hongxia shook her head, her red eyes slightly drooped, and she looked quietly at the familiar pair of black pupils that seemed to be without a trace of impurities.

"Qiu really helped me a lot, whether it was the band or..."

She paused and chose not to continue.

The girl with blonde side ponytail turned to look at the girls beside her and spoke softly.

"Hey~ Everyone, I think so too."

"Yes, yes, Senior Hong Xia is right."

Kita Ikuyo nodded her little head quickly, her emerald green eyes looking at Sakuragawa Aki seriously, her little hands slightly clenched.

"That, Qiu Jun was able to comfort me, encourage me, and accept me without holding any grudges when I wanted to run away."

She stood up with some excitement, her short red ponytail swaying slightly with her movements, adding a touch of vitality to the girl.

"So! I, I am really grateful to Qiu Jun!" Kita-chan closed her eyes and tried hard to overcome her shame.

Huh!? Why, why is everyone suddenly showing their true feelings?

Goto Ichiri, the socially anxious girl standing next to her, began to stiffen all over, and a trace of panic flashed across her little face.

yi ling yi er er ba san ling jiu ba

Here... I have to say something! Otherwise, I'll be considered a heretic who doesn't fit in with the band and be executed! ?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

"Um...actually, me too..."

Goto Ichiri on the side shrank his body nervously, looked around quickly for a while, and then spoke weakly.

"Sakuragawa-san inviting me to join the band is actually something I never dared to imagine."

She was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and a look of determination appeared on her little face.

"Sakuragawa-san has helped me a lot, and I know I have nothing to repay you with, so, um... if possible!" Pochi-chan quickly took out a piggy bank from her schoolbag, held it in both hands and handed it over.

"This, this is the money my mother saved for my wedding. Please accept it!"

The girl in the pink tracksuit lowered her head and spoke loudly.

No, no, no, if I accept this kind of money, people will mistakenly think I'm a scumbag.

Also, doing this kind of thing in a barbecue restaurant might be mistaken for bullying.

The prejudice in people’s hearts is as huge as a mountain. I don’t want my reputation to be damaged!

Sakuragawa Aki quickly turned around and looked around. Fortunately, because the barbecue restaurant was filled with various voices and the sizzling sounds of barbecue, no one noticed Pochi-chan's strange behavior.

By the way, you really do carry this wedding piggy bank with you, Pochi-chan.

"Um...well, Goto-san, I accept your thanks, but you don't need to pay me." Sakuragawa Aki waved his hand.

"Then, I'll harvest this for Qiu..."

The blue-haired woman at the side slowly reached out her hand towards the piggy bank, but was lightly tapped on the head with a knife by Hong Xia's mother who stood up.

"It hurts~"

"Shut up, idiot."

She sighed helplessly, then turned her head and looked at the boy with black hair and black eyes in front of her.

The crimson eyes blinked gently, and the next moment, a cheerful smile appeared on Ijichi Hongxia's little face.

"Hey~ Qiu, you know, in my heart, Qiu has always been my 'hero'."

She spoke in a very gentle tone, a faint blush appearing on her fair cheeks.

"From the very beginning... from that encounter in the heavy rain, it has always been like this..."

Chapter 169: Hong Xia Mama has locked onto the stinky pink hair

"You've always been my hero."

This sentence truly expressed what Ichichi Hongxia was thinking.

Ever since she met that man in the heavy rain, her daily life has quietly changed.

Whether I am working day after day, attending classes at school, taking lunch breaks, or spending time after class, I always think of the other person in my heart unconsciously.

Is he in class now? Did he eat his lunch well? Is he making friends at school?

We meet in "Stars" almost every day, and on weekdays, we chat and laugh like friends, and joke and play like close friends.

But, it’s different…

Whether it was his classmates, Liang, his sister, or the PA...they all had a different feeling towards him.

Is it because their first dreamlike encounter during that heavy rain left a deep mark in her heart?

I don’t know… However, this slightly special feeling has always been hidden deep in the girl’s heart and is deeply rooted there.

Only now, at the right time, did it begin to sprout and turn into a lush green tree with luxuriant branches and leaves.

The branches stretch out and reach upwards, and tiny lights flicker between the leaves, as if they want to absorb more nutrients and sunlight and eventually bear sweet fruits.

Looking at the cheerful and gentle smile on Ijichi Hongka's face and her slightly flushed cheeks, Sakuragawa Aki was slightly surprised.

He blinked lightly and was about to say something when a system prompt popped up in front of him.

[You have acquired the skill: Affinity LV3]

Oh? Affinity, why is it still you?

Sakuragawa Aki raised his eyebrows.

However, it’s not over yet, system prompts start popping up one after another.

[Detected that the host already has the skill: Affinity LV3]

[Skill fusion in progress...]
