There are always girls in bands who want to date me

The black medium-length hair is paired with side bangs and slightly curled ends, giving people a feeling of being bold and cute.

The turquoise eyes blinked gently, and her delicate face was full of calmness and composure.

"Sorry, I was looking at my phone and didn't see you. I accidentally bumped into you. I'm so sorry."

After a moment's silence, Hachiman Kailing spoke in a calm tone.

The hand she was holding on Sakuragawa Aki's shoulder was holding a cell phone, and the other hand was holding a large black box.

“…Ah, well, it’s okay.”

Sakuragawa Aki paused before reacting.

"I'm also at fault. I wasn't paying attention and didn't see the person coming in front of me. I'm sorry."

"where……"

Hachiman Kailing took her hand away from Sakuragawa Aki's shoulder, shook her head and said.

"You weren't walking just now, you were standing there, so it's not your fault. The person who accidentally bumped into you is responsible."

Her words seemed to be habitually mixed with honorifics, giving people a sense of maturity and a hint of seriousness.

Because the two of them stopped where they were, pedestrians streamed past them from both sides, like a black tide parting before a reef.

"Well... this is not the place to talk, let's go over there."

Sakuragawa Aki was carrying a suitcase in one hand and holding the cat's wrist with the other, so he had to raise his chin and gesture to an empty corner nearby.

Hachiman Kailing glanced at the two girls following behind him, didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, and walked over first with the bass box.

A few of them came to a corner next to the tram station, where they were finally free and no longer had to deal with the crowded scene.

"...This is really a coincidence." Hachiman Kailing looked at the black guitar case he was carrying and Mao Mao's guitar + effects box.

"So you guys also play musical instruments? Excuse me."

She bowed slightly to Sakuragawa Aki and the others and introduced herself.

"My name is Hachiman Kailing, I'm a bassist, and I'm currently playing for over 30 bands. Bookings are only required a week in advance... ah, sorry."

However, she stopped halfway through her speech, realizing that this was not a self-introduction session in a formal setting.

"...Please just ignore what I just said."

Brother Hailing added in a low voice.

You are so skilled at this, you really are a veteran mercenary. You have developed path dependence, right?

"Well, being in charge of more than 30 bands is really impressive, Ms. Hachiman." Sakuragawa Aki praised her lightly to avoid making the situation too awkward.

"No, there are only about 10 bands still active. It's not that many."

Hachiman Kailing shook her head, her tone sounding very humble and calm.

"...Ah, and please just call me by my name. Although I'm dressed like that, I'm actually about the same age as you guys. I'm currently a first-year high school student at Hanasakigawa Girls' Academy."

As she spoke, Hai Ling was thinking silently in her heart.

By the way...what is the relationship between these three people?

The uniforms of Hanaoka, Hanasakigawa, and Tsukinomori? Were they attending some kind of social? But this girl with short silver hair, her uniform... clearly belonged to Hanasakigawa's junior high school.

It's a crime to attack a junior high school student.

Hachiman Kailing blinked calmly.

No, this girl... seems to be, that famous stray cat who often hangs out at "RiNG"...

"Really? It turns out that Hachiman is the same age as us." Sakuragawa Aki smiled lightly and briefly introduced himself.

"My name is Sakuragawa Aki, I'm a high school freshman at Hanegaoka Academy, and I'm also a keyboard player."

"..."

What no one noticed was that when Sakuragawa Aki said her name, Hachiman Kailing's emerald green pupils moved slightly.

Her expression remained calm, but she quietly looked at the handsome boy in front of her.

Really? So, he is...

"...Lena, a third-year junior high school student."

Maomao briefly introduced herself, then gently shook Sakuragawa Aki's hand and spoke in a low voice.

"Autumn, matcha, matcha parfait..."

This Lenai doesn’t care who the woman in front of her is, she just wants to eat a lot. At this moment, in the cat’s heart, matcha dessert is above everything else!

"…Wakaba Mu."

The girl with long light green hair poked half of her head out from behind Sakuragawa Aki, and her self-introduction was as brief as it could be.

You two radio girls, do you even know how to write the word "politeness"?

The local band is so rude!

Sakuragawa Aki sighed softly.

"Well, I'm sure Hachiman-kun can see that these two children are a bit introverted. Please forgive me if I'm being rude."

After all, I'm not their guardian, so why should I bother saying these things now?

The future is truly dark.

"It's okay, Kaname-san and Wakaba-san, right? They both have distinct personalities. They both look very distinctive."

Hachiman Kailing nodded slightly to the two girls, then looked at the boy in front of her.

"Sakuragawa-san is also very handsome. If I hadn't had any interest in this kind of thing, I'd probably be attracted to him too."

? ?

I always feel that Brother Hailing's attitude seems to have changed a little?

Feeling... a little more natural? The tone and manner of speaking seemed no longer as stiff as before.

However, the tone is generally calm, and if you don't observe carefully, it would be difficult to notice this tiny difference.

"Hachiman-kun, did you know me before?"

Sakuragawa Aki raised his eyebrows and asked.

Chapter 138: Little Metis Must Survive (Mist)

"Hmm... is this a way of hitting on me?"

Hachiman Kailing tilted her head, and her emerald green eyes looked quietly at Sakuragawa Aki's face.

"I'm sorry, I've never met Sakuragawa before, so please allow me to refuse. I'm not some casual woman."

The way you talk so much dirty, you can't tell how serious you are, you stuffy Hai Ling brother!

Although Hai Ling Ge's face showed little expression, Yingchuan Qiu was still sensitive enough to notice from the change in her tone that the other party must have recognized him.

Well, I guess I heard my name from Lixi.

However, he couldn't immediately expose the girl's disguise.

After all, he wasn't supposed to 'know' Hachiman Kailing, and Brother Riki obviously wouldn't casually tell others about his friend. Even if he said here that he had heard of her mercenary deeds, it would seem a bit far-fetched.

Forget it, let her win this round.

"Um... I didn't mean to strike up a conversation. I'm really sorry if I misunderstood Hachiman-san."

Sakuragawa Aki blinked lightly and smiled slightly.

"Of course, Hachiman-san is also very charming, both in appearance and in his speech and behavior."

"The reason I asked that just now is because I have a friend who is also a freshman at Hanasakigawa, so I thought Hachiman-san heard my name from her."

"...Is that so? To be able to receive praise from Sakuragawa-san, it seems that I am indeed very charming." Hachiman Kailing looked at Sakuragawa Aki's expression, nodded, and said in a very calm tone.

Haha, you are more charming when you look reserved and reserved, Brother Hailing.

By the way, can you please stop torturing me? How about we just call it a day today? I’m already starting to feel tired just talking to you.

Which nice person speaks with social etiquette every day?

But it was obvious that Brother Hailing had no intention of letting him go, but continued to chat with him.

Whether it was daily school life or everything about the band, Hachiman Kailing could always bring up the topic in a calm tone and take in all his information.

The little girl behind him watched the conversation between the two calmly. There was still no emotion on her pretty face, except that her light golden eyes were blinking gently.

The cat with short white hair was already in a trance, with its eyes slightly raised to look upwards, with a dazed look on its face, not knowing what it was thinking. From time to time, it would stick out its tongue and gently lick its cherry lips.

Why are you two just watching? Why can't you speak up and help me out? Do you know how to read the air?

Where are my teammates? Help them.

Time passed slowly, and people came and went in an endless stream in Shimokitazawa tram station.

But in this corner of the road beside the station, the space seems to be still, as if it is not disturbed by the outside world at all.

"...Well, although I often receive love letters at school, they don't seem to be too obsessed with them. After I politely reject them, everyone will smile and say, "In that case, can we be friends first..."

After Sakuragawa Aki finished speaking, he sighed softly and said helplessly.

"Um, Hachiman-san, if you have any questions, just ask directly. There's no need to beat around the bush..."

“…Ah, exposed?”

Hachiman Kailing tilted her head, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, and a hint of playfulness appeared on her calm face.

"I thought you hid it well, but Sakuragawa-san is really perceptive."

You've been chatting with me for nearly twenty minutes. How could a normal person chat with a stranger on the street for so long?

Moreover, you don't seem to be fooled by my appearance at all.

0 ...

Sakuragawa Aki looked at her speechlessly, saying that this kind of nonsense should be kept to deceive girls like Riki who are stupid at heart.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but your reaction was so interesting that I couldn't help myself..." Hachiman Kailing shook her head, paused for a moment, and continued.

"I did hear about you from Lixi, so when I heard you say your name just now, I recognized it."

"As expected, it seems Ritsuki and Hachiman-san are pretty close," Sakuragawa Aki said with a soft laugh. "...By the way, I'm actually a little flattered that Ritsuki would even talk about me in private. Could it be... just complaints?"

"Sakuragawa-san didn't show any surprise. It seems like he guessed it a long time ago?"

Hachiman Kailing did not answer what Riki-ge had said, but asked back in a calm tone.

"It seems that maybe my acting skills are not good enough."

Didn't you look quite happy when you were performing in that little drama? By the way, when it comes to acting, no one here can compare to the green-haired puppet girl behind me.

Little Methys, you must survive (very serious).

"There's no problem with Hachiman-san's acting. After all, besides Rakuna-chan, I only know Riki in Hanasakigawa."

Sakuragawa Aki shrugged, appearing very sincere.

Who is kkr? I'm not familiar with him.

Please don't... destroy our Hen Ka's worldview anymore, there really is no Iron Man here!

...Just kidding.

"Oh, well, it's getting late, let's stop here today." Hai Ling took out her cell phone and said after checking the time.

"I have band activities later, so I won't be able to accompany you all."

Hachiman Kailing bent down, picked up the piano case on the ground, and nodded to the three people.

"Well, please take care of yourself, and see you later."

After saying that, the dashing girl with medium-length black hair followed the flow of people without even turning her head. Her slender figure soon disappeared in the crowd.

...Come to think of it, Hai Ling-ge's rented apartment is also in Shimokitazawa. No wonder I ran into her at the Shimokitazawa tram station.
