There are always girls in bands who want to date me

After hearing his words, the little penguin fell silent again, as if thinking about something in his mind.

Seeing this, Sakuragawa Aki, who knew the little penguin's train of thought very well, quickly interrupted her again, fearing that she would suddenly say something super-gravity like "lifelong friends".

"So, is there somewhere the light wants to go?"

Chapter 30: Becoming a Human Bridge Check-in

"Where... do you want to go?"

The simple-minded little penguin's thoughts were indeed interrupted by his question, and the thing he was thinking about just now was quickly diverted to other things by Sakuragawa Aki.

"Well, because Deng probably doesn't like places like karaoke."

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes, looked at the petite and cute girl beside him, and said slowly, "It's a rare opportunity to go out, I hope that Deng can enjoy the trip more. Well, it would be even better if he can feel the fun."

"...Fun, aquarium?" After thinking silently for a while, Takamatsu Deng tilted his head cutely.

"Why a question?" Sakuragawa Akira shook his head and chuckled softly. "Well, that's great, then the next Hanaoka Astronomy Club team-building event will be at the aquarium."

"But, Aine and Akira...may not like it."

“Why would that be? There aren’t many girls who don’t like an aquarium, right? Besides, this time, Aine chose the destination, so it’ll naturally be the lantern’s turn next time.”

"So, Qiu, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Me? Hmm... let me think."

Sakuragawa Aki leaned back in his seat and yawned softly.

"I'd probably prefer an amusement park. An arcade seems pretty fun too. Cat cafes, maid cafes? Or billiards? But girls probably wouldn't be into those things."

"I'll do my best!"

The little penguin clenched his fists slightly and looked at him seriously with his little face, as if he had made some kind of decision secretly.

"No... You can't just cheer yourself up for something like that. Even if the Knight of Hard Work comes, it won't help. If you don't like something, you won't like it no matter how hard you try."

"Qiu, you know a lot."

"These are all common sense. One day, Deng will understand."

"It's too complicated... I don't understand." Gao Songdeng lowered his head slightly, looked at his intertwined hands, and pursed his lips gently. "The words and feelings we usually say are always... difficult to understand."

"However, Qiu always listens to me carefully and patiently explains my questions, so... I'm very happy that Qiu can join the Astronomy Club and become... a friend."

"Really? You suddenly said something so embarrassing."

Sakuragawa Aki raised his hand and gently stroked the girl's smooth, short gray hair, as if to dispel the anxiety hidden deep within her heart, a gentle smile on his lips. "But I'm also very touched by what Deng said just now."

"So...Akira, are you happy?"

"Well, I'm very happy."

"Really, that's good..."

…………

After getting off the tram, Sakuragawa Aki took the little penguin all the way to his home, and the two of them came to the overpass closest to Takamatsu Deng's house.

Well, this must be the famous 'Bridge to Become Human'. Sakuragawa Aki stood in the middle of the overpass and looked around with some curiosity.

Unfortunately, as it grew darker, the lights on the overpass became a little dim, and the surroundings were pitch black. Only the road below was still bustling with cars, and it was unusually bright. There was really nothing to see.

However, it is not called the Human Bridge, but the Thousand-Life Ascension Bridge.

"……See you tomorrow."

"Well, see you tomorrow, Lantern."

Sakuragawa Aki and the little penguin waved to each other, then parted ways on the bridge and went back to their respective homes.

He got on the train again and after a few more stops, he finally returned to his rented apartment in Shimokitazawa.

Judging from the distance, the closest station should be "Kishimojin-mae" where Takamatsu Tomoe gets off, followed by "Omokagebashi" station near Shiina Tateki's house, and finally "Shimokitazawa" station where Sakuragawa Aki will get off.

It was quite a coincidence that all three of them took the Toden Arakawa Line.

By the way, if you have time, you can also check in at Asukayama Park.

After taking a quick shower and changing from school uniform to home clothes, Sakuragawa Aki lay down on the bed feeling a little tired.

Today, a lot really happened.

He yawned lightly, took out his phone and opened it. Sure enough, there were many unread messages on it.

Oh? The little penguin actually sent him a message, asking if he had arrived home yet.

After Sakuragawa Aki gave a simple reply, the other party replied with "OK", which really killed the conversation.

No, it's great that the little penguin can use Line. She is much better than the cat who reads messages randomly and doesn't reply. I really can't blame her for anything.

Little penguin, you are so strong.

Sakuragawa Aki sent a few more greetings and told the girl to go to bed early.

...Why do I always feel like he is an old father taking care of his daughter?

After saying goodnight to the little penguin, he began to browse other unread messages.

Speaking of which, this is the bad thing about foreign chat software. As soon as you open the chat interface, it will show "read", which leads to extremely rude behavior of "read but not replying".

However, you can also check the message in advance by disconnecting from the Internet. The message will be displayed as read only after you are back online. Or, like a long-term vegetarian lady, you can sneak a peek at the screen in the notification bar.

A more advanced method would probably be to export the data from the computer and then view it separately.

Since he didn't go to work at "Fanxing" today, both Yamada Ryo and Ijichi Nikka sent him messages.

Hongxia's mother sent a message to ask if he had any health problems, and there was a hint of worry in her words. She really deserves to be the archangel of Shimokitazawa.

It seems that the tsundere store manager has done a good job in protecting his personal privacy. He clearly told her at the time that he wanted to go out and play with his friends.

"I'm fine. I just went to Ikebukuro with my new friends today."

Sakuragawa Aki replied to Hongxia Mama like this, and soon she received a reply on her phone.

Hongxia: Qiu is so cunning! You actually left Liang and me and went out to play alone. Doesn't your conscience hurt? Do you know how hard it was working today? Those customers kept asking about your whereabouts!

Uh, wouldn't that be even scarier? Could it be that I'll be secretly followed by some fanatical stalker in the future...

At this moment, Sakuragawa Aki only felt his scalp tingling. For the first time, he discovered the importance of the [Unarmed Combat] skill and silently thanked the humanoid system in his heart.

[Sakuragawa Akira: Stop it now, stop saying those scary things, I don’t want to have a nightmare yet!]

[Hongxia: Humph~ This is the retribution for Qiu abandoning his friends and enjoying himself alone.]

[Hongxia: Counting Your Sins.jpg]

The girl then sent another emoticon package.

Sakuragawa Aki smiled gently, joked with Hongxia Mama for a few minutes, and then said good night to each other.

Then he opened Yamada Ryo's message interface and found that the other party had sent her several pictures, which seemed to be taken with a mobile phone.

Well, let me see, this is...

There are ramen, tempura, glutinous rice balls, hot spring eggs, and even a plate of mixed fried rice?

Sakuragawa Aki slowly turned to the end and finally saw what the other person said.

Yamada Ryo: Sorry, Aki-kun, I'm broke today. Please lend me 3,000 yen to pay the bill.

...This despicable woman.

Haha, I’ve decided. I’ll just read it and not reply.

However, as soon as he swiped away the chat interface with the blue-haired woman, his phone began to vibrate non-stop.

Yamada Ryo: You've seen it, right? The messages have all been changed to read.

【Yamada Ryo: Why are you pretending not to see it? 】

Yamada Ryo: I've already asked Nijika, and she said she was chatting with you just now.

Yamada Ryo: Don’t pretend you can’t see it, hey, hey~

Chapter 31: The scumbag woman deserves a beating again

Sakuragawa Aki rubbed his forehead with a headache. The phone in his hand was vibrating wildly, and messages came to him one after another. It seemed that this despicable woman was not going to let him go?

【Yamada Ryo: Aki-kun, this is my lifelong request. 】

Yamada Ryo: The manager's eyes are starting to look strange to me. If I don't pay the bill, I'll be detained and made to wash dishes.

【Yamada Ryo: Cry.jpg】

Yamada Ryo: Aki-kun, you wouldn't stand by and watch your best friend suffer.

I think the reason why Hongxia Mama didn’t help you this time is that she wanted to see you washing dishes.

Sakuragawa Aki couldn't help but increase the strength of his hand on his forehead, feeling that the phone was still vibrating.

After a while, he sighed deeply and called Yamada Ryo.

Yamada Ryo: "Moshimoshi~Aki-kun, I knew you must be a gentle man who would not watch your friend..."

Sakuragawa Aki: "Shut up and give the phone to the manager."

Yamada Ryo: “Oh.”

Sakuragawa Aki: "...Hello, Miss Manager, um, I'm Sakuragawa Aki. We've met once before, um...yes, thank you so much for taking care of me last time...no, no, no."

"...Anyway, let's let him go today. I'll make up for the meal tomorrow... No, no, you're welcome."

"Eh... Let's have dinner together? Hmm... Next time if I'm free, um, next time for sure... Yes, I'm also looking forward to meeting the manager. I'm really sorry to have troubled you today."

After some pleasantries, Sakuragawa Aki hung up the phone, and before his phone vibrated again, he decisively blocked the woman with blue dandruff.

Ah, the world is finally clean.

Sakuragawa Aki suddenly let out a refreshing breath, stopped reading the despicable woman's message, and turned to the next chat interface.

This was the last person who sent him a message today. The user ID was Anon Tokyo, and the profile picture was a meaningless flower in full bloom, a pink lotus?

What a strange aesthetic.

I'm so tired, so alone

It was the account of the pink-haired girl, the legendary Dun Dun deserter Chihaya Aine.

Anon sent him a few greetings, expressing how much fun she had having outing today, her gratitude to him, her relaxation after taking a bath, and her curiosity about Takamatsu Deng's past experiences and the story of his former band.

The message ended with a photo of three people taking a group photo with ice cream. In the photo, the three people were sitting on the same bench under the night sky full of neon lights. The atmosphere looked very relaxed and happy.

Just four or five messages covered so much content, and each message was not long, nor were there rapid-fire questions, which made people feel very comfortable.

Anon-chan is truly a social expert, and she has perfectly followed several implicit rules when communicating with others.

For example, the message you send cannot be too long, as it will make people feel stressed. You cannot send too many messages at once, as it will make people find it difficult to reply. If the other party has not read the message, you cannot continue to send messages after a period of time. You have to wait for the other party to reply, otherwise people will think you are the incarnation of a black hole from somewhere.

Well, it's completely different from that blue-haired woman.

However, the above guidelines do not apply to the workplace, and work-related information should naturally be transmitted as efficiently and conveniently as possible.

After Sakuragawa Aki simply replied to the girl, just a short while later, Chihaya Aine's reply arrived.

This is really perfect, even the timing of the reply is so perfect.

Sometimes, replying to messages immediately can also make people feel pressured, especially when the relationship is not very close. By the way, that pink-haired girl must have peeked at the message in the notification bar and waited for a while before replying.

Sure enough, you guys all have dirty hearts when it comes to social media.jpg

①澪漌樲２⒏彡○玖８

Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly, chatted with the social expert Anon for a few words, and then began to slowly tell the information he had learned from Shiina Riki this afternoon.
