There are always girls in bands who want to date me

After hearing Takamatsu Deng's words, Shiina Riki's expression immediately softened, and he comforted the uneasy Takamatsu Deng. "Don't worry, Deng, we weren't arguing just now, we were just chatting."

"Wow~ What a quick change of attitude."

Watching the quick facial changes of the girl with long black hair in front of her, Chihaya Aine sighed slightly, then showed a cute and cheerful smile to the little penguin beside her, and comforted her in a sweet voice.

"Don't worry, Deng-chan. Some friendships are just like that, noisy and quarrelsome."

“…Huh? Really?”

Gao Songdeng looked at her blankly, his watery amber eyes blinked slightly, and he tilted his head cutely.

"You guys, don't instill strange ideas into the lamp."

Shiina Riki glared at the stinky pink-haired girl, then stood up and walked towards the bar with a tray. He had just been a little lazy and chatted with Xiao Deng, but now he had to go back to work.

Just then, a voice from behind made her stop.

"...Deng-chan, and Riki-chan?"

Shiina Riki's body stiffened slightly and he turned around.

At this moment, a girl with long brown hair was standing at the door.

The girl had crystal-like light blue eyes, a tall and graceful figure, long hair with slightly curled ends, and a very beautiful face. She was wearing a light-colored dress that outlined her slender waist and an alluring curve. She looked at them with a slightly surprised expression.

Then, she blinked lightly, a gentle and intimate smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she spoke softly.

"It's been... a long time."

Miss Long-term Vegetarian makes a shining appearance.

…………

Let’s go back to one day ago, Friday.

——Tsuki no Mori Girls' Academy.

At the end of school hour, Nagasaki Suyo was in the Western-style courtyard in the academy's courtyard, sitting quietly on a chair with hollow carvings, her slender hands folded on her legs, as if gently stroking her nails.

In spring, bright flowers and emerald green branches dotted her sides. The warm sun slanted in the west, adding a touch of glow to the girl's soft profile, as if in a dream.

Nagasaki Suyo's sitting posture was very upright, as if she had received a long period of etiquette training. Her every move had an extraordinary temperament, like a young lady who strictly observed etiquette.

But there was a hint of hesitation on her face, her curved eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her light blue eyes were slightly lowered, as if she was thinking about something.

At this moment, the sound of crisp footsteps woke her up.

Nagasaki Suyo looked up and saw a petite and beautiful girl slowly walking towards her. Her long light green hair fluttered gently in the wind, and her snow-white skin glowed in the sunlight. The only pity was that there was no expression on her delicate little face.

It's so beautiful that it looks like a doll.

"Xiao Mu~"

Nagasaki Suyo had a gentle smile on her face and greeted the girl gently. The expression on her face just now disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it was just an illusion.

"I'm sorry for asking you out so suddenly. I really want to see Xiao Mu."

Ruoye Mu just shook his head silently, as if to express that he didn't mind.

This state of silence right from the start can easily make people think that the other person is in a bad mood or is dissatisfied with themselves.

But Nagasaki Suyo naturally knew that the girl's personality was so quiet, so she didn't care.

She slowly stood up, adjusted the hem of her skirt, and then looked at the girl with long light green hair in front of her with gentle eyes.

"Xiao Mu, is there any news from Xiangzi?"

(shakes head)

In response to her question, Ruo Yemu just shook his head silently, the expression on his little face remained as calm as before.

"... Really? Xiaomu hasn't been able to contact Xiangzi either."

Nagasaki Suyo slowly walked to the edge of the courtyard, looking at the bright flowers around her, and said softly, "Is that so? Putting my words aside, you haven't even replied to your childhood sweetheart, Xiao Mu..."

She sighed softly, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

"...Xiangzi, where are you now? I wonder if you are living a good life."

8①④⑨ ling ③Qi Bar

Ever since that rainy night a year ago, the day Crychic disbanded, she has never been in touch with Toyokawa Shoko again.

Shortly after announcing his withdrawal from the band, he dropped out of Tsukinomori Academy and is now completely out of contact.

Over the past year, she has been worried about the other person. Whenever she thinks of that rainy night and that farewell, she can't help but feel deep regret.

If at that time... I could have communicated well with Xiangzi, if I could have said the words to keep him, would everyone in Crychic still be able to live happily together now?

Every day after school, I would rehearse, chat, laugh, and create in the practice room. Occasionally, I would go on a live performance and enjoy the joy of playing music with my friends.

Are such beautiful days gone forever?

Nagasaki Suyo turned her head calmly and observed Wakaba Mu's reaction. Seeing that her expression still did not change, she sighed lightly and said casually.

"...At that time, if only I had the chance to listen carefully...to what Xiangzi wanted to say."

"..."

Sure enough, in response to her words, the girl with light green long hair, who had originally had a very calm expression, finally showed a slight fluctuation in her expression.

Chapter 34: Will Long-term Vegetarianism Lead to Malnutrition?

I've never had fun playing in a band.

On the rainy night when the Crychic band disbanded, there were words that Toyokawa Shoko couldn't say until the very end, and the last words that the girl said that completely destroyed communication.

This sentence directly denied all the meaning of the band's formation and completely shattered everyone's hearts.

The silent Xiangzi, the angry Lixi, the helpless Xiaodeng, and Ruoye Mutsu who has never been happy.

The very reason for Crychic's existence was killed.

The novel of Xianxun: The story of the nine clams of the angel

To this day, Nagasaki Suyo still doesn't know why the girl said that at that time, nor does she know what she was thinking at the time, but there is no doubt that she personally put the final pause for the band.

Since then, Crychic has fallen apart, and everyone has dispersed, unable to return to that place, the place that once held such warmth.

If you ask Nagasaki Suyo about her true feelings, she must have a deep memory of the girl's words, and even... have a hint of deep negative emotions.

Why did he say that? Why did he say that in that situation? When he needed help the most, when he trusted him without reservation...

But none of that matters. As long as she can contact Xiangzi, as long as she can recover everything she has lost and bring everyone together again, Nagasaki Suyo will be satisfied.

After all, what she loves and what she longs for is that warm shelter and everyone in the Crychic band.

They were once so happy and beautiful.

For Ruoye Mu, recalling that rainy night and his own words was also a heavy blow.

"...That's not Sushi's fault."

Ruoye Mu lowered his head slightly and spoke softly.

This was a response to Nagasaki Motoyo's previous words, responding to the other party's regret for "not being able to communicate properly with Xiangzi in the end."

Yes, that’s not Su Shi’s fault.

...It's because of me.

101②2８Э○9８

To this little cucumber who couldn't speak, those words were like a sharp sword that hurt the enemy by a thousand but hurt itself by ten thousand.

I couldn't... make the guitar sing, so I said that subconsciously.

"...Sorry! Xiao Mu."

Nagasaki Suyo quickly stepped forward, gently hugged the petite girl with long light green hair, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"...I'm sorry, I don't mean to blame you. This isn't Xiao Mu's fault."

Wakaba Mutsu didn't react at all, and was just calmly embraced by Nagasaki Suyo, like an exquisite doll.

"It's okay. Wait a minute, I'll go meet with Riki-chan again. Leave everything... to me."

Nagasaki Suyo slowly let go of the girl, with a gentle smile on her face, and spoke softly.

"Xiao Mu, do you want to join me?"

"I…have ballet class today."

"Is that so? It's okay... We can definitely go back to the way we were before."

Nagasaki Suyo's words seemed to be encouraging herself, and her gentle murmurs seemed like a prayer.

jiu liu ling yi er liu er qi ling

But Ruo Yemu just lowered his eyes and didn't look into the other person's eyes.

Although she didn't know what the other party wanted to do specifically, she had already anticipated the outcome.

...How cunning, whether it's her who can just pretend nothing happened, or me who... uses harsh words to exploit and hurt her.

Deep in Nagasaki Suyo's heart, a dark thought quietly emerged, and her mind seemed to have added a touch of heaviness, but she quickly shook it off.

For everyone, she can't stop...

After a brief exchange, she said goodbye to Wakaba Mutsu and went to the place where Shiina Riki worked, which she had recently heard about.

It seems to be a newly opened livehouse, and the name seems to be... "RiNG"?

Unlike the "CiRCLE" Livehouse where Crychic often practiced and performed during their band days, this "RiNG" in Ikebukuro seems to be a recently opened branch.

Nagasaki Suyo followed the map navigation all the way and it took her some time before she finally found the location of "RiNG".

However, after entering and asking the staff around, she arrived at the coffee shop on the second floor where Shiina Riki worked, only to find that it was empty.

The shop assistant who had long dark brown hair and a somewhat lively and cheerful personality and called herself "Kasumi" said that Shiina Ritsuki was off today.

"call……"

Nagasaki Suyo sighed slightly and had to shamelessly ask the other party about Li Xi's specific working hours.

Fortunately, when she said that she was a friend of Shiina Riki, the girl told her without any doubt that Riki would be working at "RiNG" during the daytime this weekend.

After obtaining useful information, Nagasaki Suyo politely said goodbye to the other party and set off on her way home.

It seems I can only come again tomorrow during the day.

Just slip away and it's Ling

…………

The next morning, when Nagasaki Suyo came to "RiNG" and went up to the second floor, and was about to walk towards the coffee shop, she saw the scene inside from afar through the glass floor-to-ceiling windows.

"That's... Lixi and Xiaodeng?"

Nagasaki Suyo stared blankly at the three girls sitting around a table inside the coffee shop in some surprise.

But she soon reacted, took two steps back calmly, and hid her body in the corner of the coffee shop, her beautiful light blue eyes staring inside without blinking.

...Sure enough, those two people were Xiaodeng and Lixi.

At this time, Xiaodeng seemed to be concentrating on the table, writing and drawing on the notebook on the table, while Lixi was talking to the pink-haired girl next to him, and judging from their expressions, they seemed to be still arguing?

No, we were probably just chatting.

After a while, Nagasaki Suyo thought silently in her heart that the expressions of the strange pink-haired girl and Lixi had calmed down and they began to communicate normally.

But who is that pink-haired girl? Why does she seem so close to Lixi and Xiaodeng?!

And, the most important thing is, when did Lixi and Xiaodeng... meet, and when did they reconcile?

Nagasaki Suyo folded her slender hands on her abdomen and began to play with her nails unconsciously, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

﹄○㈠②卍仈彡○⑼⒏

Could it be that after Crychic disbanded, Xiaodeng and Lixi resumed contact until now?

...No, that's impossible.

She had messaged the black-haired girl on Line before, and had been in intermittent contact with her until recently. From her feeling, she seemed to have been in a state of loss for a long time and had no contact with Takamatsu Deng.
