Chapter 115: Don’t Apologize If You Don’t Need to Apologize

Chihaya Aine turned over, raised her phone with both hands with some curiosity, and looked at the message prompt on the screen.

[Lixi: Are you there? I want to talk to you.]

“…Huh? Rikki?”

She tilted her head, a hint of confusion appearing on her little face.

Li Xi, who rarely speaks on weekdays, actually took the initiative to send her a message. What is going on?

Could it be that there was some change in the scheduled practice time?

She clicked on the panda avatar and entered the Line chat interface, and the message became 'read' at this moment.

[Anon-chan: Riki, what's up? Is there any change to the practice time later?]

[Lixi: No, it’s not about practice.]

[Lixi: This is about the discussion the band had this afternoon.]

[Anon-chan: Um...you mean when we were discussing holding the Live this afternoon?]

Chihaya Aine, lying in bed, tilted her head in confusion. Wasn't the discussion about whether or not to participate in the Live already over? Could it be...

Uh... Could it be that Li Xi is here to settle the score later and give me some extra training alone?

Woo woo woo, don't do that kind of thing~

Just as Aine-chan was lost in thought, her phone rang with a new message.

[Riki: This afternoon... I said a lot of inappropriate things. I'm really sorry, Aine.]

【Lixi: I...I'm already reflecting on this.】

Eh hey hey! ?

She, she, she, she must have seen it right. Rikki was actually apologizing to her?

That cold and tsundere Li Xi! ?

The light grey eyes widened slightly, and Aine-chan subconsciously let go.

——Crack.

“…Ouch.”

The phone suddenly hit the girl's smooth forehead, and a small circle of red appeared on her fair and moist skin.

“Ouch…it hurts, it hurts.”

Chihaya Aine rubbed her forehead which was slightly red from being hit, picked up the phone again, and looked at the message on it with a blank expression.

Could this Rikki be Qiuqiu impersonating her?

Could it be that Li Xi's personality on the Internet is so different from that in real life?

She heard that some people are very socially anxious in real life, but can talk about it freely on the Internet. She had only heard of the existence of such people before, but she didn't expect... it would happen to her now!

The Internet Club Big is actually my friend! ?

“…Ah, no~”

Chihaya Aine, who was somewhat immersed in her own world, suddenly reacted.

Uh, I seem to have ignored the message Li Xi just sent for a long time.

Oh no, oh no, I have to reply quickly, otherwise it would be so rude!

…………

What this pink-haired girl doesn't know is.

Because of her sudden silence, Shiina Riki and Sakuragawa Aki on the other side almost got into a fight.

"—Stop, stop, stop. I've already said it, this is definitely not my fault. Look at the apology I drafted for you. It's so gentle and tactful, and it fits your usual tone perfectly."

Sakuragawa Aki was running in front with big strides, holding a mobile phone with a lit screen in his hand. The lock screen showed a giant panda chewing on bamboo, with black and white fur and a chubby body, which looked very cute.

Behind him, Riki Shiina was chasing him with a flushed face, her long, soft black hair flying up and down, and her lavender eyes were filled with deep shame and anger.

It's all this guy's fault! He clearly said it was fine to send a message this way, but it ended up being a complete flop!

Chihaya Aine hasn't replied yet, she must... must think she is a weird person!

"Here, stop right there!"

"No way~ You look like you want to kill me."

Sakuragawa Aki was running slowly in front, and from time to time, he would look back at the girl with long black hair behind him, admiring the beauty running under the moonlight and her flying skirt.

Her slender yet slightly fleshy thighs were faintly visible, her full breasts were floating up and down, and her fair skin was crystal clear under the moonlight, like a beautiful elf.

I have always been a fan of Brother Lixi’s body (shocking sound)!

Unfortunately, I didn't expect the [Physical Fitness LV3] I got from Aine-chan to come in handy so soon.

The drum team members were no match for him in terms of speed.

Sakuragawa Aki couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.

This wave of blood profit!

After a while, Aine-chan's reply finally arrived.

"Stop, stop, stop. Um, Aine replied." Sakuragawa Aki waved his phone at the girl with long black hair behind him to show that he was not lying.

"Ha...ha, you, you bastard."

Shiina Riki slowly stopped, breathing slightly, her curvy body looked extremely beautiful, and her fair and tender face turned a bright red due to the sudden movement.

She glared at Sakuragawa Aki fiercely, but did not get angry. She came over obediently and looked at the phone screen with him.

Anon-chan: ...Well, it's okay, Rikki. I know what Rikki says is actually correct.

[Anon-chan: Those words... although I was a little sad when I heard them at the time, I'm completely fine now! Besides, Qiuqiu and Dengdeng also comforted me, so there's no need to apologize so formally, Lixi.]

[Anon-chan: And, actually, I have problems too, whether it's wanting to avoid the live or using Deng Deng and Qiu Qiu as shields... But now, I have completely changed my mind.]

[Anon-chan: So, let's call it quits, Rikki. Let's get along well from now on.]

[Anon sauce: sweet smile.jpg]

Anon: Hand in hand.jpg

"..."

Sakuragawa Aki and Shiina Ritz looked at each other and read the series of messages sent by Aine-chan.

To be honest, such long messages are not in line with social etiquette and will make people feel that the other person is a bit "heavy".

However, as a real-life girl, Aine-chan goes against her usual habits and wants to convey her true feelings.

As expected of Saint Aine-chan.

Sakuragawa Aki smiled slightly.

"Hmm... Looks like the job of replying to messages will be up to you, Rikki~"

He handed the phone in his hand to the black-haired girl beside him.

“…Don’t call me that.”

Shiina Riki complained softly, but took the phone obediently without any resistance, pursing her cherry lips.

She hesitated for a moment, then sighed helplessly and typed on her phone as if she had given up.

【Lixi: Um... I understand. 】

[Lixi: I will also... continue to move forward together.]

Sakuragawa Aki turned his gaze away, raised his head, and looked at the distant night sky.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, dotted with bright stars, and the cloudless sky forms a beautiful picture.

Sakuragawa Aki lowered his eyes and smiled softly.

Well, those who should apologize should apologize, and those who don’t need to apologize shouldn’t apologize.

This should be the truth of the world.

This is what beauty and perfection are, isn’t it?

Chapter 116: The Astronomy Department Prohibits Malicious Cuteness

"B-Emaj7...B-Emaj7."

Inside the activity room of the Astronomy Club of Hanegaoka Academy, the pink-haired Aine-chan was sitting on the sofa, her little face lowered in concentration, practicing guitar diligently.

After a while, she sighed softly.

"Wow... This Emaj7 is so hard to play~"

"Well, Emaj7 is indeed difficult for beginners, Aine-san." Goto Ichiri, who was standing by, looked at the music sheet in his hand and circled some of the more difficult chords with a water-based pen.

"Actually, if possible, I would recommend that Aine practice more latticework. After all, basic skills are very important."

After a few days of getting along, thanks to Aine-chan's tireless efforts, Pochi-chan and her have finally become a little familiar with each other.

Nowadays, whether chatting or having close contact, there will no longer be the same awkwardness as before.

……perhaps.

Pochi-chan was looking at the sheet music of "Haruhi Kage" in her hand, which was the rhythm guitar part that Aine-chan was responsible for. She was marking out some of the more difficult chords, which was obviously the part that needed to be practiced intensively.

There were quite a few introductory guitar books scattered around the two of them, some of which were brought from home by Pochi-chan, and some were bought by Aine-chan herself.

Ever since she reconciled with everyone in the band and decided not to avoid it anymore and to participate in the Live properly, Aine-chan finally became motivated during practice.

She is no longer the laid-back type of person who works for three days and rests for two days. Although they still don't know what happened, Pochi is naturally very pleased that Aine-san can muster up the motivation.

Well, finally I don’t have to have my face rubbed by Aine-san anymore, yay!

The rhythm guitar part of "Haruhi Shadow" is actually not that difficult. Basically, you just need to press the chords and strum along with the rhythm. However, for Aine-chan, a guitar novice, it still requires some hard work.

"No, I can't do that. The live performance is about to start, so I have to practice this song first." Chihaya Aine sighed softly, put the guitar aside, and rubbed her sore fingers.

"But after the live is over, I will practice climbing the grid, Ichiri-chan."

The pink-haired girl smiled sweetly at Pochi-chan beside her, the smile on her face was bright and cute.

Well, Aine-chan seems to be in a very good mood every day recently, and occasionally she even giggles foolishly, which makes people a little worried about her mental state.

Pochi-chan’s suggestion is indeed correct. Climbing the grid can practice expanding fingers and increase the strength when pressing the strings. It is a very useful warm-up exercise for beginners.

The sunlight outside the window was warm and soft. Chihaya Aine, who was sitting on the sofa, couldn't help but yawn and stretch.

The slender waist slowly stretched out, but unfortunately, the owner of the body had a flat chest, which made this slightly seductive movement only look playful and cute.

Looking at the handsome boy who was still looking at his phone seriously by the window not far away, Aine-chan puffed her cheeks in dissatisfaction.

What? He didn’t even notice me!

Aine-chan, who had decided to take a short break, stood up and, under the curious gaze of Pochi-chan, skipped towards Sakuragawa Aki who was sitting leisurely by the window.

"Qiuqiu~what are you doing?"

She had a small mischievous smile on her face and quickly patted the boy's shoulder with her little hand.

Sakuragawa Aki, who was concentrating on looking at his mobile phone, trembled slightly. He put his other hand on the electronic keyboard and exerted force suddenly, causing the keyboard stand below to tremble.

He took off his headphones with a sullen look and glared at the energetic pink-haired boy.

"Sorry, sorry, Qiuqiu~"

Chihaya Aine stuck out her tongue, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, but had a giggling look on her face, looking insincere at all.
