There are always girls in bands who want to date me

"……Eh?"

Awakened by the two people's words, Gao Songdeng, who had been thinking silently with his head lowered, suddenly came to his senses and looked up at the two people.

Moreover, not only the little penguin, but Aine-chan and Ms. Motoyo also glanced at Sakuragawa Aki and Shiina Ritz.

Shiina Riki looked at Sakuragawa Aki with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was really thinking.

Is it because you care about the lamp that you want to know what the lamp is thinking, or is it because you just want the lamp's support that you ask it?

"What do you think about holding a live show?"

Sakuragawa Aki didn't care about the gazes of the crowd.

He lowered his eyes, looked at the petite girl with short gray hair, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and spoke softly.

"It's okay, Deng just needs to speak his true thoughts."

Takamatsu Deng didn't hear the conversation between the crowd at all, so naturally he didn't know what position each person represented. He didn't know that Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine had already expressed their opposition.

Therefore, the choice she is about to make at this moment is only related to her truest thoughts.

"Qiu, I..."

Faced with Sakuragawa Aki's question, Takamatsu Deng's little face showed an expression of hesitation and indecision.

The amber eyes drooped slightly and even began to wander.

There is no doubt that the little penguin has a deep psychological shadow about holding a live show, which can even be called a "deadline".

After all, Crychic fell apart after holding its only live show.

It will definitely... happen again. After the live performance, the band... will be over.

Gao Songdeng didn't want to say goodbye to her companions again. She never wanted to experience that kind of pain that penetrated her soul again.

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes. He could naturally understand and comprehend the little penguin's thoughts. After all, this girl could be said to have the purest and most delicate heart.

At this time, Shiina Riki on the side leaned forward slightly, with a hint of inquiry in his lavender eyes, and asked cautiously.

"For Live, how do the lights...see?"

Considering from Li Xige's perspective, part of the reason for wanting to hold a live performance is actually for the little penguin.

In order to allow Deng's singing voice to appear on the stage again and become that incomparably shining light, she tried her best to make this live opportunity possible.

She wants the song of the lamp to be heard and recognized by everyone.

The remaining reason actually includes Shiina Tatsuki's own pursuit of music and his desire to prove his own life value.

Even if I am such an 'ordinary', 'inferior' self with a heart full of awkward emotions, can I still survive in this world and eventually... be able to find happiness?

Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, Shiina Riki secretly hoped that Deng would agree with her proposal and stand on the same front with her.

The little penguin naturally could not understand the complex emotions deep in Li Xige's heart. At this moment, a struggle between her conscience and her desires had already begun in her heart.

She was worried that after the live performance, the band would inevitably disband again.

At the same time, I was extremely worried, afraid that my singing would not bring positive feedback to the band, and afraid that my singing would not be good enough and would disappoint everyone in the band again.

"I……"

The little penguin murmured, and she subconsciously raised her head, her eyes unconsciously shifting to look at the two people who had always supported her and treated her gently.

Sakuragawa Aki looked at her quietly, with a hint of encouragement in his eyes, as if he wanted her to tell him what she really thought. Chihaya Aine beside him seemed a little nervous, and her big light gray eyes looked at her without blinking.

Wuuwuwu light, help me~

The pink-haired girl has now regarded the little penguin as a life-saving straw. After all, Anon-chan is not mentally prepared at all for performing on stage.

Who goes straight to fighting Mittan after finishing the tutorial?

However, looking at those familiar light gray eyes, Gao Songdeng's amber pupils paused slightly.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the encouragement she received from Aine and Qiu at the beginning.

On that warm afternoon, in the Astronomy Department's office, three people who were initially familiar yet unfamiliar with each other had a conversation that was ordinary yet filled with infinite beauty.

"—Wouldn't it be fine if we just worked hard next time and didn't make the same mistake again?"

Yes, Aine-chan told me...

"Deng-chan, even if you fail once, you must believe that you can start over. Otherwise, life is so long that you will eventually give up."

Aine, I hope I can break free from the constraints of the past and start anew.

...Qiu, you also hope that I can be happy.

"I……"

Takamatsu Deng pursed her cherry lips, then raised her head slightly and nodded slightly to Shiina Riki.

Gaining courage from past memories, the little penguin agreed at this moment to hold a live show with everyone.

"what……"

Seeing that Deng finally chose to stand on his side and support him, Shiina Riki's pretty face suddenly revealed an unconcealable smile, and he felt relieved.

Sakuragawa Aki on the side rolled his eyes at her.

Drum team members, if you knew who Deng is thinking about in his heart at this moment, I wonder if you can still laugh?

“…Eh hey hey?”

The pink-haired Aine-chan, who was ruthlessly abandoned by the Emperor of Lights, let out a small whine.

Wuwuwu, Dengdeng, don’t do that kind of thing, I’m just a new guitarist~

——At this point, the overall situation has been determined.

Whether in terms of numbers or status, Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine, who lost the support of the little penguin, were defeated in this band issue.

However, is this really the case?

Looking at the different reactions of the girls around him, Sakuragawa Aki sighed slowly.

After making the decision, the little penguin was still confused and at a loss, while Brother Lixi secretly clenched his fists, with a little happiness on his cold and pretty face.

Ms. Sushi, who appears gentle and calm but is also overjoyed in her heart, and the pink-haired Aine-chan who has completely lost her dreams.

Even in such a far-reaching situation, today's system options showed no sign of popping up.

This is no wonder. Perhaps, in the judgment of the humanoid system, the discussions and decisions of the band members this time are completely insignificant.

——After all, no matter what kind of determination you made at the time or how much awareness you had.

Everyone will regret...

…………

"Aine, Aki, I...I don't want to hold a live show."

The next day, during lunch break, in the Astronomy Department's office.

The little penguin raised his head slightly, clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest, lowered his head hesitantly, and whispered to Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine.

Chapter 93: The Innocent and Scheming Girl Gets Defeat Again

"……Eh?"

Faced with the little penguin's sudden change of heart, Chihaya Aine responded somewhat dazedly.

After a whole night of ideological struggle yesterday, she finally made up her mind and decided to practice guitar hard in the near future, at least not to embarrass herself in front of Qiuqiu and Dengdeng.

As a result, after only one night, before I even had a chance to back down, Deng Deng actually surrendered on his own initiative! ?

This...isn’t this too fast?

"Well……"

Sakuragawa Aki did not immediately ask for the detailed reason, but walked to the table beside him, put down the thermal box in his hand, and opened it layer by layer.

The meal that was just prepared this morning was still emitting a hint of heat when the thermal insulation layer was opened.

"...Do you have any new ideas? Deng." Sakuragawa Aki said softly.

He simply ignored the question of whether this was a sudden change of mind and whether it would cause trouble for others, so as to avoid causing further psychological pressure on the already somewhat uneasy little penguin.

"After the live, the band...will disband again."

Gao Songdeng pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered his innermost thoughts to the two people he trusted most.

"Eh? Why, why do you think so, Deng Deng?" Aine-chan asked in confusion.

Unfortunately, Gao Songdeng just lowered his head slightly, seemed a little silent, and was unable to explain the specific reason.

However, no specific explanation is needed.

The answer can be obtained simply through simple deduction.

Since the previous band disbanded at lightning speed after the first live performance, it is reasonable that this band will also disband at lightning speed.

Even if we look at the long term, there are countless bands that failed in their first live performance.

Failed performances, setbacks, loss of passion for music, members blaming each other, loss of self-confidence, discovering that you don’t really like it... There are so many reasons for a band to break up.

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly and chose not to continue asking the little penguin for more details.

"Well... after school, let's go discuss this with Riki and Sushi-san."

He pondered for a moment and then said lightly.

Previously, because they decided to participate in the Live in a week and a half, Li Xige booked all time slots in the practice room for the band at "RiNG" to increase the band's practice time, hoping to improve everyone's playing level as much as possible before the official performance.

However, the previous band meeting obviously doesn't count.

Now comes the real decision-making.

…………

"...Huh? You're canceling your future live performances?"

Nagasaki Suyo's beautiful light blue eyes swept over the few people, and there was a hint of surprise on her pretty face.

She pondered for a moment and then asked in a soft tone.

"Why? Did something happen?"

"Look, we don't have any costumes, we don't have a band name, and we haven't even practiced much..."

Chihaya Aine picked up the carbonated drink in front of her, gulped down a few sips, let out a satisfying "Ha" and continued.

"Besides, even Deng-chan feels that it's a bit too early to hold a live now. It's not quite appropriate."

Now the pink-haired Aine-chan is very proud and happy.

Not having to perform live in such a short time, Anon felt as if a huge mountain in her heart had suddenly disappeared. If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she would have laughed out loud.

Dengjiang, LOVE~

Takamatsu Deng, who was standing by, lowered her shoulders nervously. After all, she was the one who raised the objection. Facing the gazes of Shiina Tatsuki and Nagasaki Motoyo, she was naturally a little stiff, afraid that the two would blame her.

Sakuragawa Aki and Chihaya Aine were sandwiching the little penguin on the left and right. Judging from their positions, it seemed like they were confronting the two girls sitting opposite them.

However, Chihaya Aine's words were quickly ignored by Riki-kun and Ms. Suyo.

After all, her various statements are completely untenable. Whether it is the team name or the performance costumes, they are just minor details and cannot be used as a valid argument for refusing to participate in the Live.

The reason why Anon said this was actually to endorse the little penguin's "rejection".

If we directly say here that 'actually it's Deng who doesn't want to hold a live show', then there is no doubt that everyone's focus will be on the little penguin.

This is obviously a lot of pressure for an introverted girl.

So, she is worthy of being called Saint Aine.

Although he has his own little thoughts, he will still take the initiative to help Xiaodeng bear the pressure and take some of the responsibility when faced with difficulties.

The light purple eyes of Shiina Riki on the opposite side narrowed slightly, passed over the pink-haired creature, and swept over the handsome and indifferent boy in front of him, and his gaze paused slightly.

Even he...doesn't agree to participate in this live...?

Shiina Riki looked at Takamatsu Deng who lowered his head, clenched his slender fingers slightly, bit his cherry lips with his pearly teeth, lowered his eyes and said nothing.
