There are always girls in bands who want to date me

Nagasaki Suyo didn't have to think about putting herself in a difficult position and 'reluctantly' stayed in the band, enjoying everyone's misplaced care and companionship while acting awkwardly and coldly, as if she had never done anything wrong.

——That is absolutely impossible to happen.

"Qiuqiu, I, I will always be with you..."

No matter what happens.

The girl pursed her lips and stopped trying to persuade him.

She already knew Sakuragawa Aki's attitude and where his bottom line was.

It's like the key is missing from the lock, the gear is missing the most critical part, and the conveyor belt is completely misaligned, causing huge changes in the entire framework.

Various possibilities converge, various conditions and factors intertwine and spread, until they point to the only and most certain ending.

Nagasaki Suyo will not give up on reviving her former band, nor will she give up on pursuing Toyokawa Shoko.

Sakuragawa Aki will not forgive betrayal, nor will she choose to muddle through.

Chihaya Aine will not oppose her closest friends for "outsiders", Shiina Riki will not care too much about things that are not beneficial to the entire band, and will not choose a future that will hurt Tomo.

The out-of-control train rumbled towards the only dead end.

Chapter 192: Today's Dinner at Aine-chan's House

Sakuragawa Aki followed Chihaya Aine slowly along the way, occasionally chatting about some daily fun things. While enjoying the quiet and peaceful night view, the girl's mood gradually improved.

About ten minutes later, the two arrived near an independent Japanese-style house.

"Just drop me off here, your home is just in front." Sakuragawa Aki stopped, pointed to the detached house in front, and smiled slightly.

“If Aine’s mother finds out that I sent you back again, she might misunderstand something.”

"That's not the case."

Chihaya Aine's pretty face flushed slightly, and after looking at him, she whispered.

"...Qiuqiu, you haven't had dinner yet, right? Do you want to come to my house and have dinner together? Mom would be very happy if she knew."

Yes, Mrs. Chihaya talked to me for a long time last time. When she found out that I was practicing cooking, she was very considerate and taught me a lot of cooking knowledge.

Being treated warmly by the gentle lady makes people feel like they are in spring breeze. This pink-haired family is indeed very happy.

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly.

"Hmm... How about we do it another time? I'll definitely do it next time~"

Too many things happened today, and he really wanted to go home and lie down.

"Oh, what a shame~ I was thinking of showing off my cooking skills to Qiuqiu. I've learned a few really good dishes lately~"

Aine-chan took his fingers with both hands, shaking them gently, and spoke in a very coquettish tone.

"Just once today, come and have dinner together."

"No, it's really rude to come visit without telling me in advance. Let's wait until next time..."

"No, Qiuqiu is a good friend, there's no need to be so polite~"

Just as the two were chatting near the detached house, the door of the house suddenly opened, and a very young woman wearing a home apron, with short gray hair and light gray eyes walked out of the door.

She was holding two large garbage bags in her hands, and it looked like she was out taking out the trash.

Wuhu, it's over now. Sakuragawa Aki rolled his eyes helplessly at the pink-haired girl next to him who was already showing a look of surprise.

It seems that I can't leave today.

As expected, when she saw her mother coming out, Aine-chan smiled sweetly and waved at her vigorously.

"Mom, here, I caught Qiuqiu, come quickly~"

No, I'm not a Pokémon, why do you have to use such a weird term?

Looking at the pink-haired girl hugging his arms tightly, Sakuragawa Aki shook his head helplessly.

Although with his strength, it is very easy to deal with Aine-chan, a small fry, and it only takes a moment for her to break free or counterattack, but he can't use violence against this pink-haired girl.

"Eh? Aine? And...Aki-kun?"

Mrs. Chihaya also noticed the two people standing by the road and tilted her head with some curiosity.

However, when she lowered her gaze and saw Chihaya Aine hugging Sakuragawa Akira's arm tightly, she blinked slightly and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Ah~ Did anything good happen today?"

Seeing that he no longer resisted, Aine-chan immediately trotted all the way and pulled the seemingly hopeless Sakuragawa Aki to the doorstep.

"Qiuqiu sent me back today because we had something to discuss about the band." The pink-haired girl stood in front of the woman, her little face flushed after exercise, and she smiled happily as if she was showing off.

"Hey~ Mom, can Qiuqiu come home for dinner?"

"Of course. It's so rare for Mr. Aki to come to visit. It would be rude not to treat him well." Mrs. Chihaya put the garbage bag aside and smiled gently at Sakuragawa Aki.

"Ain has been so grateful for your care all this time. Please stay for dinner. She's been talking about you, Xiaoqiu, a lot these past few days."

"Mom..." Chihaya Aine puffed up her cheeks slightly, feeling a little shy.

There was no other way. Seeing that Aine's mother said so, what else could Sakuragawa Aki say? She had to agree obediently.

"...No, Aine always takes good care of me. If we're talking about gratitude, I should be the one to show it more." He smiled softly and spoke in a gentle tone. "It's really rude of you to come visit me without permission today, Aunt Chihaya."

"No, no, Mr. Qiu is so polite. Please come in~" The woman with short gray hair smiled and said as she opened the door.

"Really, Mom, stop saying unnecessary things~" Chihaya Aine said with a slightly blushing face, and secretly let go of the hands that were holding each other.

I was a little excited just now, so I subconsciously forgot that being so intimate in front of my mother was so embarrassing. My mother will definitely be laughed at later!

…………

After enjoying a sumptuous dinner at Aine's house, Aine's mother kept him company while they chatted about family matters for a long time. It was not until it was getting dark that Sakuragawa Aki said goodbye to everyone and left Aine's house.

I have to say that both Aine's father and mother were very kind to him, and I always felt that they were even a little too "enthusiastic". I wonder how this pink-haired girl described him in private.

However, being able to feel this strong and warm atmosphere among family members, Sakuragawa Aki also felt very relaxed and even a little healed.

As expected of a family that could raise a kind and cheerful person like Aine-chan, it can be said that meticulous care and careful teaching are indispensable.

It took a while for Sakuragawa Aki to take the train back to his single apartment in Shimokitazawa. After a quick wash, he lay down on the bed with some relaxation.

I always feel that a lot of things happened today, and I don’t even have the motivation to update the video. Anyway, I uploaded a video in the afternoon, so I’ll just take a day off here.

Although he did not feel the slightest bit tired due to his excellent physical fitness, Sakuragawa Aki still found an excuse for being lazy.

With nothing to do, he took the phone beside the bed and looked at the unread messages on it.

Since he didn't go to work at "Fanxing" today, Hongxia Mama and PA Miss had sent him text messages to greet him before, but because he was still with Aine-chan at the time, he planned to reply to them all after returning home.

It's a coincidence that the time when Hongxia Mama sent the message was when Sakuragawa Aki and Aine-chan were hugging each other intimately under the moon... Is this also some kind of coincidence?

Yingchuan Qiu quickly shook his head, shaking off the strange delusion in his mind that Hong Xia Mama was holding a bloody hatchet.

In the message, the PA complained that because he was away, today's guests were extremely difficult to deal with. They kept clamoring to see him and kept asking about his whereabouts...

Hongxia's mother was talking about the stupid things Xieliang had done today and how Miss Xingge had given him a good beating, as well as some interesting things that happened in the store.

At the end, she praised little Mutou for being very well-behaved and cute. Now he has completely fascinated his sister. He often stares at her with a smile in the store, forcing her to apologize to Mutou every time.

Chapter 193: Little Motis Assists

Because the band's live performance is approaching, Sakuragawa Aki took a few more days off to participate in the band's practice. I guess she won't have time to work at "Fanxing" these days.

Now, the income from video advertising is several times higher than the salary from a part-time job. If this continues, I can quit my job and achieve financial freedom in no time.

...No, no, no, I'm not that socially anxious Pochi-chan. Why would I think of quitting my job as soon as I have money?

Moreover, if I leave "Fanxing" on my own, I'm afraid Hongxia Mama, PA Miss and that tsundere store manager will be sad, after all, they have been together for so long.

Hmm, speaking of which... I think I forgot about a certain instrument? Never mind, it's not important~

Besides, it was he who introduced Xiao Mu Tou to work at "Fanxing", so he couldn't just clap his hands and leave him alone.

Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly and began to send replies to the girls' editors.

Well, I'll comfort Miss PA first and promise to bring her some comfort items later. Then I'll chat with Hong Xia's mother about family matters and list all the crimes of the blue-haired woman together. Finally, I'll send a few messages to Xiao Mu to express my condolences.

Hmm... I feel like I'm getting more and more proficient at this kind of thing.

And just as Sakuragawa Aki was sending messages and chatting with the girls one by one.

In a mansion a few kilometers away, a young girl's cell phone screen quietly lit up at some point.

In the slightly dim basement, a girl with long light green hair and wearing silk pajamas was sitting on a chair with her hands wrapped around her knees. Her petite body was curled up, and her bare feet without shoes or socks, her small and delicate toes were slightly curled up in front of her body.

A delicate-looking guitar leaned against her side, as if providing her with some support.

And on her shoulder, there was a little girl doll that only she could see. Her small body was wearing cute fairy-tale-style pajamas and a small triangular nightcap on her head.

"Mu-chan, are you okay? Sushi-san has been pestering me for quite a while today. I told you to just reject her directly~"

Little Methys leaned against her cheek affectionately and spoke in a soft voice.

"After all, doesn't Mu-chan have a lot of friends now? Hongxia-chan, Liang-chan, and Qiu!"

"Come to think of it, Aki didn't show up for work today. He said he was going to band practice. How annoying! Hey, Mu-chan, I think you want to see Aki too. Let's go find him tomorrow!"

"no……"

Wakaba Mu hugged his knees with both hands, buried his little face deeply in them, and a hint of loss appeared on his expression.

"It will cause him trouble..."

"Eh~ But, Su Shi-san said she will come to see Mu-chan tomorrow." Little Muthis said angrily, waving her chubby little fists.

"Mu-chan, you won't refuse at all. If you keep going like this, you won't be able to protect Xiangzi's secret~"

"I……"

Ruoye Mu was silent for a moment and pursed his lips silently.

After school today, Nagasaki Suyo came to the Gardening Department and pestered her for a long time, showing a firm determination to find Xiangzi. Even her words began to subtly target her "indifference".

"The band I formed with Lixi and Deng is about to have its first live performance."

"Don't worry, Xiao Mu. After the live show is over, we'll be together again."

"So, I hope Mu can tell me the news about Xiangzi."

"Mu, don't you want to reunite with Xiaodeng, Lixi and the others? Don't you want to play in a band happily together like we used to?"

"Please, I really want to have a good talk with Xiangzi. Mu-chan...you must know where Xiangzi's house is."

"...It's been so long, and you still can't tell me?"

…………

Thinking of the unpleasant conversation in the afternoon, Ruo Yemu sighed softly with some disappointment.

If this goes on...Su Shi will hate her.

But, Xiangzi's side...

Being attacked from both sides, Xiao Mutou was in great pain at this moment. Both her childhood sweetheart who refused all communication and the aggressive Nagasaki Suyo made her feel very embarrassed.

She silently took the phone, thinking that it must be the usual 'urging' text message from Su Shi.

However, the next moment, she opened her eyes wide with slight surprise.

On the dimly lit mobile phone screen, the man's portrait suddenly appeared, along with several small stones of strange shapes.

【Sakuragawa Aki: Good evening, Mu. 】

[Sakuragawa Aki: I've been unable to work at "Fanxing" for a while now due to band practice. How is it working part-time? Have you encountered any difficulties?]

[Sakuragawa Akira: If there's anything you don't understand, or if you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me directly. After all, it was me who suggested Mutsu come to work part-time.]

[Yakugawa Aki: Oh, by the way, Hongxia said that Xingge seems to be very attached to you lately. If you feel troubled, you can tell me directly. Hongxia and I will help you teach her a lesson.]

[Sakuragawa Aki: Cat making a fist.jpg]

Since the message was for this introverted little Mutou, Sakuragawa Aki didn't care about social etiquette and directly sent a long paragraph with a few cute emoticons.
