"Then let's kiss, tomorin."

"Prove to me what you're trying to express—your so-called true feelings..."

"determination."

Chihaya Aine blushed, but uttered what was perhaps the boldest thing she had ever said.

Kiss, kiss Tomorin. Not his neck, not his cheek like last time, not his forehead, but a real kiss.

If tomorin can do this, then that kind of affection can truly be conveyed completely!

"Kissing Aine?"

"Yes, kissing."

Chihaya Aine blinked her bright silver eyes, touched her lips with her slender fingers, and blushed.

Surely Tomorin can understand such an obvious hint!

"Kiss Aine's lips?"

Takamatsu Akari recalled the feeling of touching Aine's cheek just now.

What would it be like to touch Aine with your mouth? After being 'tempted' by Chihaya Aine, Takamatsu Akari's curiosity was piqued!

"I will try my best to do it!"

Since this is Aine's request, she will try her best to fulfill it!

Takamatsu gently cupped Aine's cheeks, her fingertips softly stroking her skin as if touching a precious treasure.

Ai Yin's eyes trembled slightly in his line of sight, her long eyelashes fluttering like butterfly wings, looking incredibly vibrant and captivating.

Takamatsu Akari's breathing became rapid, her chest rising and falling with her heartbeat. Driven by her body, she slowly approached Aine!

Their breaths mingled together in the kiss, warm and tender.

Even with just this slight touch, Chihaya Aine's body trembled slightly, and her fingers unconsciously gripped the hem of Takamatsu Akari's clothes.

The kiss lasted for almost a minute, and the two simply enjoyed the beautiful moment. The gray-haired girl slowly opened her eyes and finally smiled contentedly.

"Aine, did I do it?"

"tomorin...it really did it."

Chihaya Aine's fingers unconsciously touched her lips, her fingertips gently brushing against them, as if she could still feel the warmth and touch left by Takamatsu Akira.

My first kiss with someone I like... Is this what it feels like?

Tomorin's kiss is like fragrant green grass; this is the only metaphor Chihaya Aine can think of.

She had thought that one day or in the future she would express her feelings to Tomorin, but who knew that on this otherwise peaceful day, Tomorin would do something so unexpected to her.

Although I'm very happy inside!

"Tomorin likes me, and I like Tomorin too, okay?" Chihaya Aine smiled gently, her tender eyes quietly gazing at Takamatsu Akari.

"But before you hear why Tomorin likes me, let me tell you why I like Tomorin first!"

"After all, I'm the one who should be taking the initiative, right?!"

In a relationship, once you become passive, you will be held back in every way. Chihaya Aine doesn't want that. At the very least, she wants to be able to stand on equal footing with Tomorin!

"At first, when I first met Tomorin, I was really shocked. I felt that Tomorin was completely different from the girls I had met before."

Chihaya Aine sighed softly, her fingers unconsciously twirling the ends of her hair, her eyes somewhat unfocused, as if she had returned to the moment when she first met Takamatsu Akari.

Radio Wave, not good with words, yet became the center of attention in the entire class. Tomorin did nothing, yet suddenly became the person she wanted to be.

And forming a band with a girl like that would probably make me more popular, right?

But their original simple purpose has long since become unrecognizable, and now they're unwittingly set out to be in a band for life.

"Tomorin doesn't lie, is very sincere, and kind-hearted. Although he's not good with words, his virtues are so numerous that you could list a whole basketful!"

"I really like Tomorin like this!"

From initially running away to growing and winning her back, he frankly expressed his feelings, even if it hurts, he still shouts out his purest emotions...

This is what moved her about Takamatsu!

Chihaya Aine's gaze softened, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips. Her fingers lightly brushed away her hair tips, then moved to her chest, as if feeling the burning heartbeat that ignited by affection.

If I had to describe her relationship with Tomorin... I guess they were just people who huddled together for warmth.

She said she wouldn't let Tomorin run away, but in reality, she ran away quite a few times herself. However, Tomorin accepted her running away along with everything else.

Chihaya Aine knew that someone had successfully seen her.

Not the sociable, enthusiastic, and sunny Chihaya Aine, nor the energetic and saintly Chihaya Aine.

Chihaya Aine is a character with flaws, a tendency to escape, and a hidden agenda.

Although these are all of herself, being able to see all of herself in Tomorin is a kind of happiness, isn't it?

"So, that's what I wanted to say."

"Eh, Tomorin?"

Chihaya Aine opened her eyes and found that the girl she liked was very close to her—Takamatsu Akari had quietly moved closer to her again!

"Tomorin...when did you get so close again?"

Chihaya Aine's voice trembled slightly, filled with panic and helplessness.

Tomorin always likes to launch surprise attacks!

Takamatsu Akari's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, her voice as soft as a whisper in the wind: "Because... I want to hear every word Aine says clearly."

"Did you hear me clearly now?" the girl asked, blushing.

"I heard it clearly, Aine's voice is very clear!" Takamatsu Akari replied with a smile!

Takamatsu Akari took Chihaya Aine's hand and held it in her palm. Their hands were intertwined tightly, as if at this moment, their hearts were completely merged.

"I have a wish, and that is to be with Aine in the future."

Takamatsu Akari's gaze was firm and sincere, looking straight into Chihaya Aine's heart.

We want a future filled with love and sound, to be a band together for life, and this vow needs to be fulfilled through a lifetime of action.

"Since Tomorin is like this..."

"Since you said that, my thoughts are the same. A lifetime is such a long, long time. By then, Tomorin and I will both be new grandmas."

Even when I'm an old lady, I'll still be in a band for life. Perhaps in 34 years from now, people in the cultural square will no longer be doing square dancing, but instead... putting on live shows!

Takamatsu Akari nodded gently, her voice low and tender: "Even if she's an old lady, she'll stay with Aine."

Their eyes met, and at that moment, all words became superfluous.

"Hmm, Tomorin, do you want to kiss me again?"

Chihaya Aine admitted that she was still savoring the kiss from earlier, but since she and Tomorin had already opened their hearts to each other...

What's wrong with making this request?

"Want to kiss again? Sure, Aine, actually I... kind of want to too."

The cute little penguin lowered her head, deeply moved by the kiss she had just received!

"Hmph, then this time Tomorin shouldn't move!"

Chihaya Aine revealed a sly smile, and then approached Takamatsu Akari with a mischievous grin!

"Will Aine take the initiative... to kiss me?"

"It's not impossible..."

Takamatsu closed her eyes quietly, looking adorable as if she were ready to be picked!

PS: This is basically me creating my own sweet moments and then enjoying them myself. After reading Mujica, I found some solace in writing this. (I'm cutting out Mujica's light and mygo character development. It seems that Hatsuka's character will likely be as spoiled as the spoilers suggest. If that's the case, I'll have to create the rest of the plot myself.)

Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 128: A Choice Between Me and Aine

The evening sun slanted down onto the streets, bathing Tokyo in a warm golden glow. At this moment, at the Ikebukuro intersection, next to RiNG, crowds surged, as if drawn by an invisible rhythm, playing a symphony of pacing on the zebra crossing.

Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine arrived at the reserved training room late, slightly later than usual for reasons that cannot be described.

"It's fifteen minutes later than usual today. I remember Tomori wasn't supposed to be on duty today, right?"

Shiina Riki stared at the two people with rosy cheeks and strange expressions, and spoke seriously.

The two of them seemed no different from usual today, yet something seemed to have changed drastically... and that change seemed to be the kind she didn't want to see.

"Yeah, something came up and I was delayed. Don't be angry, Riki. Let's start practicing now."

Chihaya Aine clasped her hands together, looking embarrassed. Being late was indeed wrong, no matter the reason.

So I apologize to Riki.

However, it's reasonable for someone to want to have closer interactions with Tomorin whenever they get close to him, and to spend some time with him after school, right?

Turning to face Takamatsu, she once again flashed a bright, sunny smile that warmed the heart.

"tomorin~ It's time to practice."

"Okay, time to practice."

To achieve their goal of entering the Budokan, simply singing a few songs is far from enough. Although Takamatsu Akari doesn't quite understand what conditions are required to enter the Budokan, they know that they absolutely cannot enter the Budokan if they are only at their current level. At the very least, the band's performance needs to catch up with Nina and Kita!

Mygo band needs more practice!

"..."

Shiina Tatsuki remained silent, his brows slightly furrowed, but ultimately uttered no words, offering no questions.

Although it's unclear exactly what happened between the two... it's not too late to ask Tomori after training. After all, Tomori has already told her that their relationship is genuine and cannot be lied to.

It would be perfectly reasonable to tell Tomori about the slight jealousy that was stirring within me, wouldn't it?

Putting aside his inner thoughts, Shiina Tatsuki reopened his eyes and assigned the band training tasks to everyone.

Although the last live performance at Scream Legend was a great success, some minor details and flaws should still be avoided as much as possible. Before Tomori releases a new song, they should at least practice all the old songs well!

They don't need to achieve a perfect score, but at least they should reach a level of 90.

Similarly, as long as you are proficient enough, even the most difficult pieces can be memorized and eventually reach a level that can be described as a perfect performance.

Despite constantly saying that Aine needs to practice and practice... Shiina Tatsuki actually thinks that Aine's current level and ability are quite good.

To reach this level after only two months of playing, Aine must have put in a lot of effort behind the scenes.

They played one piece, then another, and time flew by. Three hours later, they finished their practice for the day.

And this routine should continue indefinitely unless something major happens.

Outside RiNG, on her way home, the black-haired girl looked at Takamatsu Akari, who was lost in thought, and thought to herself.

"Tomori, why have you been so distracted ever since we left RiNG?"

She waved her hand helplessly, trying to get the little penguin's attention back.

Rather than saying that Tomori was distracted after leaving RiNG, it's more accurate to say that it was after saying goodbye to Aine.

"Um... because I can't see Aine anymore," Takamatsu Akari replied dejectedly.

After saying goodbye to Aine, I automatically felt a sense of loss. Is this the downside of liking someone?

"I can't see Aine? But I'm usually the one who takes Tomori home around this time every day?"

The daily routine remains unchanged; only people change.

Shiina Tatsuki knew that something must have happened between Takamatsu Akari and Chihaya Aine.

"What have you done, Tomori?"

It's certainly impolite to pry into other people's privacy, but if Tomori doesn't seize the opportunity to ask now, she'll be tormented by her own feelings!

"What did we do? We did things we liked with Aine."

"What do you like to do? Hmm..."

Hearing Takamatsu Akari's suggestive and potentially misunderstood words, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly blushed.
