There are always girls in bands who want to date me

In fact, it is completely meaningless to discuss who is right and who is wrong.

Shoko Toyokawa has given almost everything she has. Even when forced by life, she did not want to give up the band, but in the end she still lost painfully to the cold reality.

On that rainy night, the sadness of the band's disbanding overwhelmed all five girls of Crychic. Until today, one year later, none of the five girls in C group has been able to completely move on and no longer be immersed in the sadness of the past.

Takamatsu Deng was now stuck in a strange logical loop. If it wasn't his fault, then whose fault was it? If no one was at fault, why did the band break up? Why could those once wonderful times... never return?

With the introverted and autistic personality of the little penguin, no matter what bad things happen, he will blame himself first.

So what we need to do now is not to let her stop blaming herself, but to find her next warm home first.

"Yes, yes, we are with Deng-chan now, and we will always be your good friends."

Chihaya Aine took Takamatsu Touma's little hand and showed her cute little fangs to Shiina Riki in a somewhat demonstrative manner.

Humph, let her ignore me just now!

"Anyway, now that things have come to this, let's eat first. A hot meal will also make you feel better."

Sakuragawa Aki reached out and gently touched Takamatsu Deng's soft short black hair, and said with a slight smile.

"Tomoe... no matter what happened in the past, Aine and I will always be by your side."

"Qiu, Aiyin..."

Takamatsu Deng looked at the two people beside him, then bowed slightly to Shiina Riki in front of him.

"Lixi, um...thank you."

"lamp……"

Shiina Riki looked at the cute short-haired girl in front of him and hesitated slightly.

However, this thank you had obviously exhausted all the courage in the little penguin's heart. When she raised her head again, she no longer dared to look at the other person.

"..."

Sakuragawa Aki on the side lowered his eyes and thought for a while.

This isn't a good idea. If they say goodbye now, the relationship between the little penguin and Shiina Riki will remain the same.

The next time we meet, we will still be familiar strangers.

After all, Takamatsu Touma and Shiina Tachibana's cognition is actually different, and there are even big differences.

As we all know, the differences between information and intelligence can be seen everywhere, and the information received by each person is different.

So from Takamatsu's perspective, Shiina Riki has always been a pressure monster who is very dissatisfied with her. Back in the Crychic period, he was either criticizing her introverted personality or pressuring her that her singing was not good enough.

The only time I praised her was after that live performance, but when the live performance ended, the entire band also ended.

So in the little penguin's heart, Shiina Riki has always hated himself and blamed himself for leaving without saying goodbye.

But for Shiina Riki, in that only live performance of Crychic, on the stage, under the spotlight, with the audience shouting and cheering, Takamatsu Touma's singing directly struck the deepest part of her soul.

At that moment, Takamatsu Deng sang out the inferiority complex hidden deep in her heart, the resentment towards her sister for being too outstanding, and the pain that everyone around her could only recognize her as "Shiina Maki's younger sister".

She sings exactly like me.jpg

So, after Takamatsu Teru stopped attending band practice and unilaterally cut off contact with them, Shiina Riki kept waiting until she realized that the other party would never come back. She finally became discouraged and quietly chose to leave the band.

From then on, she didn't even dare to contact the other party actively. She didn't know which high school the person she admired and cared about went to, or how his life was going now.

Shiina Riki is such an awkward person who is not good at expressing his inner feelings.

Even though she had to walk back to the station and take the tram for two more stops to get home every time she dropped Takamatsu Deng off, she never complained about her efforts.

"Deng, although you may not know it, this guy really likes you."

Sakuragawa Aki turned his head, pointed at Shiina Riki who had a dazed expression in front of him, and said with a chuckle.

"I can feel that in her heart, she has always regarded you as her most important friend."

"……Eh?"

“Huh? What the hell are you talking about all of a sudden!?”

Shiina Riki, whose thoughts were spoken about, immediately shouted in panic, two obvious blushes appeared on her beautiful face, and she no longer had the cold look of the past.

The little penguin also showed a slightly surprised expression on his face, and his pair of lovely light golden amber eyes stared at the black straight girl in front of him without blinking.

"Lixi...really?"

At this moment, Shiina Riki was startled by Sakuragawa Aki's sudden attack. His eyes were darting around in panic, and he didn't know what to do.

"Deng, don't listen to that guy's nonsense. I, I didn't..."

Shiina Riki's denial immediately made the little penguin confused again. She kept looking back and forth between Sakuragawa Aki and Shiina Riki, not knowing who was wrong.

Sakuragawa Aki was not excited. He just smiled gently, looking at the girl with long black hair in front of him very calmly, and said lightly.

"If you don't explain it clearly, Xiao Deng won't understand."

Chapter 26: The Purity is Too Low

"what……"

Shiina Riki let out a long sigh, trying hard to suppress the slightly restless feeling in his chest.

"Um, the light...me."

"Moshi Moshi, can you be a little faster? The snack stand will be closing soon."

Sakuragawa Aki, who had been waiting for a long time, yawned lightly. Chihaya Aine, who was also a little dejected beside him, spoke.

"Hey... how long will it take? I'm starving. If nothing else, I'll let this woman incubate overnight. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"You, you two, shut up!"

Shiina Riki shouted with a slightly red face, then lowered his head and spoke in a low voice with difficulty.

"Um... Deng, actually... in my heart, I have always regarded you as my most important... friend."

"...Lixi, is it true?"

"Um……"

Shiina Riki nodded, then let out a long breath, slowly relaxed, and calmed the slightly rapid heartbeat in his chest.

Takamatsu Deng hesitated for a moment and slowly approached her. Her petite and cute appearance made her look like a little animal. The girl held her hands in Shiina Riki's hands, and her soft gray short hair swayed slightly with her movements.

"Thank you, Lixi...I'm glad."

The corners of the little penguin's mouth curled up slightly, making Shiina Riki's cheeks slightly red.

"Lixi is also...a friend."

"Eh~ I feel like this scene is like the finale of a family movie."

The cute pink-haired girl Chihaya Aine patted Sakuragawa Aki's shoulder with a cheerful and cute smile on her face.

"This way, Deng-chan can become good friends with this woman. Although her attitude makes me feel a little uncomfortable, it's still something to celebrate."

"Huh? What are you talking about?" Sakuragawa Akira tilted his head in confusion. "What friend?"

"Eh? Aren't that woman and Deng-chan already friends?"

"But no one said that good friends can always get along well, right?"

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head with amusement.

"That gentleman once said that admiration is the furthest distance from understanding. Of these two people, one is introverted and autistic, completely unable to understand anything too complex, and the other is awkward and arrogant, with basically no speaking skills."

"If you want them to become close friends who can talk about anything, you'll probably have to wait until the end of the world."

"Eh??"

Sakuragawa Aki pointed at two people not far away.

In just a blink of an eye, the little penguin and Shiina Riki were back to looking at each other in silence. They didn't know what to say, so they just fell silent.

No, he didn't say the most crucial words.

The biggest problem between these two people is that they cannot understand each other.

Shiina Riki is unable to understand Takamatsu Touma's true inner thoughts, and always imposes what she thinks is good on the other party. Many times, she does not know what the little penguin really wants.

①檪⒈㈡卍/彡○㈨卌

The little penguin is very delicate and sensitive, and can perceive the essence of many things, but he cannot express it well in words, so he can only try clumsily.

Simply put, these two people are just too incompatible, and they can only rely on time to slowly get along.

For Shiina Riki, she had already fantasized about becoming friends with the little penguin again countless times, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she had already considered the girl as her friend in her heart.

But for the sensitive and delicate Takamatsu Deng, building a friendship like this takes a long process. He needs to accept the other person's emotions little by little and slowly get familiar with the other person's existence...

Sakuragawa Aki walked forward, clapped his hands lightly and said.

"Well, anyway, even small progress is progress. It's good enough that the misunderstanding has been resolved. Let's stop here for today."

"Ah..." Shiina Riki bit her cherry lips lightly, her lavender eyes looking at him with a slightly complicated look, and then she took a deep breath.

"Um...thank you so much today."

"It's okay, Ms. Shiina. After all, you are also an important friend of Deng."

"No, this is all thanks to you." Shiina Riki shook his head and said firmly, "I will definitely repay this favor. Also, just call me by my name."

"Is that so, Rikki~eh? Isn't the term 'taki' a little too common? How about just calling her 'rikki'~" Chihaya Aine also came over and said with a smile.

"Don't call other people's names casually!"

"Hehe, it's so cute, Rikki~"

…………

Looking at the two people who started bickering with each other again, Sakuragawa Aki showed a faint smile.

[Skill Obtained: Unarmed Combat LV1]

Wait, Brother Lixi, what kind of skill did you give me?

[Unarmed Combat: Level 1]

[Evaluation: You have initially mastered the basic techniques of hand-to-hand combat. Now, you can easily face three or five ordinary people. However, as the saying goes, the most important thing in boxing is to be able to withstand a beating. You are not physically outstanding, so you are still just an assassin with high offense and low defense.

What? You mean competing against a professional? Uh... my advice here is to buy some insurance in advance.

Hmm, it looks pretty good, and I feel like I've become a lot stronger. I wonder if I can master things like 'Force Dissipation' by spending skill points to reach the later stages. I think 'Supersonic Punch' is pretty good too...

No! What's the point of this? Is this a music show?!

Even in the Bang Bang world, people always resolve everything by banging on stage. I've never seen anyone take turns playing guitar! ?

We are all from Kirakira, you are here to play Mortal Kombat, right!?

...Forget it, just keep it for self-defense in the future.

…………

After saying a simple goodbye to Shiina Ritsuki and leaving "RiNG", Sakuragawa Akira and the other two began to wander the streets of Ikebukuro. They would go to watch the street performances and eat at the food stalls they saw.

Along the way, Chihaya Aine took out her cell phone and took a lot of photos. Whenever she saw an interesting place, she would take a photo with Sakuragawa Aki and Takamatsu Deng, calling it a souvenir.

However, the two people who didn't like taking photos only cooperated with her for a while and then refused. Even Gao Songdeng shook his little head like a rattle, showing a rare resistance.

"Hey~ This is obviously a rare opportunity, take ten more pictures, no, just five will be enough! Deng-chan, I'm covering it~"

"You always ask for too much, like trying to smile, finding all kinds of angles, and striking weird poses."

Sakuragawa Aki rubbed his face which was a little stiff from laughing too much, rolled his eyes at her silently, and had to take out his wallet and let the little penguin go to the ice cream stand not far away to buy three ice creams, thus rescuing her from the clutches of the pink-haired devil.

"Eh... what a shame~"

"Don't worry, there will always be opportunities to take photos in the future."

The two found a bench on the side of the road and sat down to rest. Looking at the little penguin who was trying hard to communicate with the ice cream stall owner not far away, Sakuragawa Aki suddenly thought of something.

"Come to think of it, how did you know Shiina Riki's name before?"
