There are always girls in bands who want to date me

Japanese names are written and pronounced differently. Some of the same names may be called differently, and some of the same names may be written differently.

The fact that Chihaya Aine could call out the name 'rikki' only meant that she knew how to write the name 'Rikki'.

"Hey, keep it a secret~"

The pink-haired girl played with a strand of soft pink hair on her shoulder with her slender fingers and said with some pride.

Chapter 27 I Have a Friend

"I see. Did you read Xiao Deng's notes?"

Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly and quickly saw through the truth.

On the sheet music that came with "Kasuga Shadow", everyone's name and the track they were responsible for were written, but there were only first names and no last names. I guess she only remembered it when she introduced herself after Shiina Riki.

"Eh~ Exposed so quickly? Is Qiu-kun some kind of high school detective?"

Come on, even though the Bang Bang Girls show has gotten a little dark lately, it's still heaven compared to the Conan set next door. I don't want to be killed by 'Kuro' for no apparent reason.

"You are too easy to understand."

"So, the 'Haruhi Shadow' that Qiu-kun mentioned earlier is the song written in that notebook."

Chihaya Aine waved to the little penguin that was looking around anxiously not far away. Seeing the little penguin waving at her with a little hesitation, she couldn't help but smile softly.

"Deng-chan, you're so cute~"

Then, she withdrew her gaze and looked down at the small leather shoes of Yuqiu's uniform on her feet. Her slender legs swayed slightly, but the smile on her face slowly disappeared.

"That song, is it really an original song from Deng-chan's previous band? Deng-chan has always kept that notebook very preciously with him. It seems like he can't forget his old band."

She looked at Sakuragawa Aki beside her, and her beautiful light gray eyes blinked gently.

"You talked to that woman for a long time before, right? Was it about Deng-chan? Well... I don't think Qiu-jun is the kind of person who would have bad intentions and hide things from his friends."

"Are you friends so soon? I think your concept of friendship is a bit..."

"What? You clearly asked me to help you with your cooperation before. I should have at least 50%... 45% of the credit for what happened before!"

Chihaya Aine raised her fair and slender fingers and counted them one by one, shamelessly magnifying her own achievements.

Didn't you just sit with Xiao Deng and drink Earl Grey tea for a long time? I was facing Brother Li Xi at the time, but I was so tired from talking that my lips were almost worn out and my mouth was dry.

Sakuragawa Aki looked at her speechlessly and sighed softly.

"We seem to have different opinions on the matter of merit, so let's put it aside for now. However, I can tell you the content of our previous conversation."

"Eh? Really? Tell me quickly, I'm really curious."

Chihaya Aine immediately looked at him with bright eyes, her hands involuntarily clenched into fists and placed on her chest, with an expectant expression on her face.

"Ah...but if it involves Deng-chan's privacy, it's okay if I don't tell you."

"Privacy... shouldn't count." Sakuragawa Aki looked up at the night sky, his eyes leisurely and his expression very calm.

"Everyone has memories they don't want to recall. Some are too painful to recall, while others are simply too painful to recall."

"what……"

Chihaya Aine opened her mouth slightly.

The other party's unintentional words undoubtedly hit her deep in her heart, and she seemed to feel a dull pain in her chest.

"So, what kind of past is this? Did the band members have a fight? Or were they just too excited and started a fight?"

The pink-haired girl paused for a moment, then smiled cheerfully as if nothing had happened, her voice still sweet and calm.

"Let's add each other on Line," Sakuragawa Akira said, waving his phone in front of the girl and pointing to the little penguin standing next to the ice cream truck. "That matter is a little complicated, and I can't explain it in just a few words. Xiaodeng should be back soon. I'll explain it to you in detail when we get home."

"What? You're keeping me in suspense~"

Chihaya Aine held her chin with one hand and puffed out her cheeks slightly.

Then, her gaze slowly turned to the ice cream truck not far away.

Neon lights reflected a faint glow on the street. On the street full of pedestrians, the girl's light gray eyes seemed to have no focus.

"A girl who is asked for her contact information in this situation won't be happy."

"Sorry, this is the first time I've asked for someone's contact information. I guess I'm not very experienced." Sakuragawa Aki sighed helplessly. "People often come to me for my contact information. Now that I think about it, it does feel a bit annoying."

"You're just showing off, Qiuqiu, you idiot!"

“…Well, I’ll buy you some juice later, okay? Please don’t call me by that name…” Sakuragawa Aki suddenly showed a look of despair.

Yiling Yier and the umbrella age

"Why? That's such a nice way to call it, Arkirin~"

"It seems we also have a big disagreement about taste in names."

The two of them exchanged a few simple jokes, and then laughed at each other, finding it amusing.

"Hey, Aki-kun..." Chihaya Aine stared straight ahead, her lips pursed slightly. "There are some memories of that topic we were just discussing that only bring back pain when I think about them..."

"Then, will that painful memory remain deep within my heart forever, forever...unable to be erased?"

Her tone lost its usual liveliness and cuteness, becoming somewhat ethereal, as if quietly mixed with a hint of melancholy.

But after she finished speaking, she quickly reacted, waving her hands randomly, her long pink hair fluttering slightly, with a slightly embarrassed smile on her face.

"Sorry, sorry! Forget what we said just now. Um...yes, this is actually something that a friend of mine has been worried about, so I just asked on a whim."

The friend you mentioned.jpg

Sakuragawa Akito doesn't need to rely on the ability of psychology level 1 to easily distinguish whether this wave is making friends out of nothing.

But he certainly wouldn't laugh at the girl.

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes slightly, thought seriously for a while, and then spoke softly.

"A lifetime...it's so unimaginably long."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"But I remember someone saying, 'Even if you fail once, you must believe that you can start over. Otherwise, life is so long that you will eventually give up.'

"You're so cunning, Qiuqiu. You actually just copied exactly what I said to comfort Deng-chan..."

Chihaya Aine puffed her cheeks a little unhappily, and then her cherry lips curled up into a slight smile.

"Hmm...it turns out that although Qiuqiu didn't say it, she actually agreed with what I said before and wrote it down word for word."

"I told you not to call me by that name..."

Sakuragawa Akira sighed helplessly. "Also, you may not believe this, but I actually have a photographic memory."

"Hey~ Qiuqiu is shy again, um... let me think, is this the legendary 'tsundere'? So cute~"

"Just listen to me carefully!"

"Ahh~ I can't hear you~"

Her white and slender legs swayed slightly, her dreamy pink hair fluttered in the wind, and her cute little canine teeth sparkled under the neon lights of the surrounding shops.

Unconsciously, the girl's mood seemed to improve again.

Chapter 28: Must Post to Moments Immediately

“This…Aine, this is for you.”

Takamatsu Deng handed a strawberry cone in his hand to Chihaya Aine.

"Thank you. Come to think of it, how did Deng-chan know I like this flavor?"

"Because Aine mentioned before that she likes fruit sandwiches, this... is for Aki-kun."

"Ah, thanks."

Sakuragawa Aki took the ice cream cone handed to him by the little penguin and looked at it with some curiosity.

Emerald green ice cream with some green powder sprinkled on top.

“Is this matcha ice cream?”

"Well, because it's a new product recommended by the stall owner... Qiu Jun, don't you like matcha?" The little penguin tilted his head and handed over the cream ice cream in his hand. "Then... exchange?"

"No, I'm just a little curious. It always feels fresh."

"Ah! You can't eat now!"

At this moment, Chihaya Aine seemed to have suddenly thought of something and spoke loudly.

"Take a picture, take a picture. The three of us are taking a picture together holding ice cream. Doesn't it look very atmospheric~"

"Taking pictures again, you really never get tired of this kind of thing."

"Of course. If I don't preserve this moment, how will I brag to my classmates about this... ahem, experience?"

"Hey, you just said you were bragging, didn't you?" Sakuragawa Aki rolled his eyes at her and sighed softly. "Hurry up, or the ice cream will melt."

"Yeah~ Qiuqiu is the best."

"I told you not to call me by that name."

"...Qiuqiu?" The little penguin beside him tilted his head cutely.

"Hmm, calling me that sounds intimate, Tomorin~"

"It's better not to worry about this woman's taste in names, Deng."

"...I think it's cute."

"Sure enough, only Deng Deng, who is also a cute girl, can understand me. It's decided! Deng-chan can call me Anon-chan from now on." Chihaya Aine held the ice cream in her hands happily, revealing her cute little fangs.

"Anon...chan?"

"Uh-huh!"

"That's fine, but hurry up and take the picture. If you dawdle any longer, the ice cream will melt."

"Then Deng-chan, please sit between us. The angle is just right." Chihaya Aine took Takamatsu Deng's hand and let her sit between the two of them.

Three people squeezed on a bench, and the remaining space was a little insufficient, but the two girls had slender figures, so it was not too crowded.

"Then... let's start filming, Eggplant~"

——Crack!

With a slight sound, the picture suddenly froze.

Chihaya Aine on the left closed one eye in a playful and cute manner. Her light grey pupils were like the shimmering water of a lake. Her little face was rosy and there was a lively and cheerful smile on her cherry lips.

Takamatsu Deng's expression was a little silly, as if she hadn't reacted at all. She held the cream ice cream in both hands, legs together, and sat obediently between the two of them. One side of her short gray hair was tucked behind her ear, revealing her white neck and slightly rosy earlobe.

Sakuragawa Aki on the right made a scissors hand gesture, and the originally dull expression on his face became lively. A gentle smile hung at the corner of his mouth, and his handsome face was particularly eye-catching. There seemed to be a hint of charm between his eyebrows.

"Ah~ This photo is the one I'm most satisfied with today. I'm going to set it as my wallpaper and post it on Line."

"--stare."

“…Aine, can we eat now?”

“——stare~”

"Yeah, thank you Deng Deng for taking pictures with me."

"……It doesn't matter."

"--stare……"

"Um, come to think of it, it felt like there was some inexplicable gaze watching us just now? Was it because we were too conspicuous just now?"
