There are always girls in bands who want to date me

By the way, the Butterfly Group has graduated now, right?

Sakuragawa Aki shook his head helplessly and spoke.

"Anyway, there's not much time left until the live performance, so you should really work hard during this time."

"Wow...Qiuqiu, do you really want to attend that Live?"

Chihaya Aine put down the guitar in her hand, lowered her head slightly, and said somewhat unconfidently.

①○一２２⑧３０９８

"We're all just beginners, isn't it a bit too hasty to go to a live performance in such a short time..."

"Besides, even if it's Xiao Deng... she doesn't want to participate in the Live." Chihaya Aine pursed her lips and looked at the little penguin sitting at the table, writing and drawing in a notebook.

"So, we're going to discuss this with Lixi and the others soon. No matter what ideas you have, you can share them and we can discuss them together."

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly, looked quietly into the pink-haired girl's light gray eyes, paused, and spoke in a slightly soft voice.

"But... you can't use Xiao Deng as a shield, it will make Li Xi angry."

"...I don't have any shield or anything like that." Chihaya Aine shrank her body slightly, subconsciously hugged the guitar to her chest with her hands, and her gaze was a little evasive.

She did unconsciously use the little penguin's idea as a shield, but Aine-chan obviously had no ill intentions and just wanted to make her opinions and views more convincing.

I always feel like I'm facing a daughter who is a bit troublesome. Why should I have a daughter of the same age as me?

Why do you have to worry about so many things at such a young age?

Sakuragawa Aki put away his phone, turned around, and looked at the little penguin who was bent over the table beside him, drawing something seriously on his notebook.

There were doodles of a few watermelon worms on both sides of the notebook, a row of black ants below, and a few messy words written in the upper left corner.

In the middle is a big maze, which the little penguin is drawing.

In Little Penguin's paintings, the 'watermelon worm' basically represents herself. Whether it is curled up, crawling hard, or wandering at the entrance of the maze, it is the truest portrayal of her inner self.

I think Xiao Deng, who just experienced the disbandment of Crychic, is the little "watermelon worm" that stays in the corner, curled up and motionless.

However, the girl is now trying to stretch her body and is starting to move forward slowly.

Unfortunately, difficulties come one after another.

A maze is an area that can make people lose their way, with endless "dead ends" and countless "forks in the road" to choose from.

The band is in turmoil, the live performance is about to begin, the people still don't trust each other, their thoughts are different, and their ideas conflict with each other...

Challenges and difficulties come one after another. The little penguin is now like a tiny watermelon worm trapped in an extremely huge maze, and he doesn't know what to do.

She could feel that the challenges she would face in the future were far greater than before.

The warm sunlight outside the window still shines into the activity room of the Astronomy Department and on the bodies of several people, with a soft and leisurely warmth.

Two pink-haired girls were practicing guitar and talking quietly, a short-haired girl with gray hair was drawing with her eyes lowered, and a handsome black-haired boy was gazing leisurely out the window.

Sakuragawa Aki pondered for a moment.

Now he has established a relatively close relationship with Shiina Riki and gained the trust of the girl who says one thing but does another. He is able to influence her to a certain extent and thus influence the decision-making of the entire band.

Li Xige’s influence on the band is naturally significant.

Whether in terms of his own musical level or as a composer who needs to understand the level of all band members and control the general direction, Tatsuki Shiina is a well-deserved band leader.

Especially because of the other party's very serious and hardworking character, Brother Li Xi can point out many things that he is not easy to say out loud.

This is actually very important for the band. If there is no one who can motivate everyone to work hard, then the entire band will be a mess, or even become a band playing house in the practice room.

The next step is to deal with this pink-haired guy.

Ⅰ0樲⒉⒏⒊澪⑨㈧

Apart from the little penguin who hardly ever expresses his own opinions, there is Miss Su Shi who never confronts others and always likes to change other people's ideas in a subtle way, and a stray cat who loves radio waves.

There is no doubt that the apparent dominance of the entire band is in the hands of Riki and Aine.

So, is there any chance that this pink-haired girl can completely let down her guard and take her relationship with him to the next level?

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes.

Just when the three members of the Astronomy Club were enjoying their daily club activities.

On the other side, Shiina Tatsuki and Nagasaki Motoyo also reunited separately without anyone knowing.

Chapter 99: Did you two meet in private?

"...Richie-chan."

——Inside the "Haze" coffee shop.

Nagasaki Suyo, wearing a dark green Tsuki no Mori uniform, walked in from outside with her schoolbag in her hands very politely.

She gently waved to the girl with long black hair who was also wearing Hanasakigawa's uniform and sitting by the window, and walked over.

The school starts and ends very early at Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy. Since it is a school that does not place much emphasis on admission rates, there is a lot of time left for extracurricular activities for students.

This has also led to a wide variety of club activities within Hanasakigawa Academy, and the competition for student union positions is also quite fierce.

After all, energetic girls have nothing to do after school, so they naturally want to experience a rich extracurricular life.

Compared to Tsuki no Mori, Haneda Academy, which focuses on the rate of admission to higher education, has the latest school dismissal time. So at this time, Sakuragawa Akira and the other two had just started their club activities in the astronomy department, and Shiina Tatsuki had been waiting for Nagasaki Motoyo in the coffee shop for a while.

"Lixi, are you okay?"

Looking at the black straight-haired girl opposite who was somewhat silent, Nagasaki Suyo put her schoolbag beside her, looked at the girl with a slightly concerned look, and spoke in a gentle tone.

"…I'm sorry for making you come here to see me."

Shiina Riki didn't answer, but just blinked slightly and spoke calmly.

"It's okay... Ah, Darjeeling tea, please. Thank you."

Nagasaki Suyo handed the menu to the waitress, said thank you softly, then turned to Shiina Riki and said with a gentle smile.

"Although I was a little surprised when I received the news, I also want to have a good chat with Li Xi."

Su Shima was indeed not lying. She was indeed a little surprised that Li Xi would take the initiative to contact her.

She had originally thought of asking Li Xi out for a good talk today.

For the upcoming live performances, and also for...'everyone's' band.

Seeing that Shiina Riki was silent for a moment, as if he didn't know where to start, Nagasaki Suyo opened her cherry lips and spoke softly.

"Before, everyone's opinions were completely different. I didn't expect Xiao Deng to actually refuse to do a live show, and the reason is..."

She knew Li Xi's character, so she didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, bringing the topic to the problems the band was currently facing.

"It seems that the disbandment of Crychic dealt a heavy blow to Xiao Deng."

Nagasaki Suyo's hands intertwined and rubbed gently, her light blue eyes lowered.

"But is it really okay for us to continue like this? We can't communicate properly. If we continue like this... we're bound to make the same mistakes again."

"..."

Shiina Riki frowned slightly. When she heard the description of "repeating the same mistakes", she naturally recalled the disbandment of Crychic.

Having finally been able to re-form a band with Deng, she naturally didn't want to separate again and wanted the band to continue.

Nagasaki Sushi on the opposite side had been observing Li Xi's reaction. Seeing that her attitude had finally softened, Sushi's mother naturally continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"Or, Live... forget it." Nagasaki Suyo said softly.

"That's it... I won't be doing any live shows, I'll just be playing band with everyone in the practice room..."

This actually already contained her true thoughts.

For Nagasaki Suyo, the band... is actually more like a close family relationship. She doesn't need everyone to achieve great success or perform on a big stage.

As long as we can get together and warm each other, it is enough...

This is the minimum pursuit of Nagasaki Suyo for the "band". She is already satisfied as long as the members of this "family" can stay together and get together well.

As long as I can stay close to everyone, what does it matter if I have to play house in the practice room for the rest of my life?

However, the main purpose of saying this at this moment is naturally to arouse Shiina Riki's psychological fluctuations.

Shiina Riki wants to realize her own value and achieve her life goals through the band and music, so she naturally will not accept this very "negative" future.

Just playing 'house' with the band in the practice room was naturally unacceptable to Li Xi, who had been working hard all the time.

The reason why she worked so hard was that she wanted to reap the "results" and successfully catch up with those dazzling "geniuses".

"I want to convince the lights."

Shiina Riki raised his head, looked seriously at the brown-haired girl opposite him, and said in a firm tone,

“I want to see the lights singing on the stage, shining under the spotlight, so… I want to participate in the Live.”

“…Convince Xiao Deng.”

Nagasaki Suyo looked at her in surprise, and after muttering it again, she gently tucked her slightly curly brown hair by her ears and pursed her lips.

"Why? Even if it goes against Xiao Deng's opinion, do you still want to participate in the Live?"

The Shiina Riki she knew would not make such a decision... at least, not with such a firm attitude.

So, what happened yesterday?

"Well, I think Deng must... Deng actually wants to participate in the Live."

Shiina Riki picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip, feeling the bitterness spreading in his mouth, his lavender eyes drooping.

"Is that so... Well, I agree with Li Xi." Nagasaki Suyo pondered for a moment, then raised her head and said, "As long as we convey everyone's ideas to Xiao Deng, I think she will understand Li Xi's thoughts and change her mind."

Since Shiina Riki has made up her mind and is no longer confused or wants to back down, then Su Shi's mother naturally doesn't need to bother trying to inspire her fighting spirit anymore.

So, all we need to do here is affirm her ideas and provide her with effective support.

Nagasaki Suyo also breathed a sigh of relief deep in her heart.

After all, working in line with Shiina Riki's goals will naturally put less psychological pressure on you than manipulating and changing her thoughts.

"Don't worry, Lixi, I will help you convince Xiaodeng." Nagasaki Suye smiled softly, blinked her light blue eyes slightly, and looked at the girl with long black hair in front of her.

"After all, we were once close friends (family)~"

Shiina Riki frowned slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable with such slightly intimate words, but he didn't say anything. After all, he was asking her for help.

"Then, leave Chihaya Aine to me for a while." Shiina Riki lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice. "I will be responsible for convincing her."

"Lixi..."

Nagasaki Suyo thought for a moment,

Although she also did not think highly of Shiina Riki's eloquence, that pink-haired girl was equally unimportant. Wouldn't it be better if she could make her come to her senses and voluntarily quit the band?

"It's almost time."

After taking out his cell phone and looking at it, Shiina Riki tilted his head back and drank the last sip of coffee, frowning slightly at the bitter taste.

"Let's go, Deng and the others should be ready to leave." She stood up with her schoolbag in one hand, her eyes slightly sharp.

"Um……"

Nagasaki Suyo also drank the last sip of Darjeeling black tea gracefully.

She pursed her lips slightly and murmured.

"This time, everyone will definitely communicate well and won't make the same mistake again..."
