"ha??!!"
Shiina Riki's voice grew louder, and her expression turned cold. What's up with this pink-haired guy?
Is this an attempt to establish authority?
Seeing Shiina Tatsuki's somewhat agitated expression, Chihaya Aine knew she had achieved her goal.
Since you care so much about Tomorin, then I'll just take your place in Tomorin's heart. Aren't you a former band member? Then I'll become Xiaodeng's current band member!
"Uh...uh..."
Sensing the tense atmosphere on the scene, Gao Songdeng was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
Weren't we supposed to be solving the mystery surrounding Riki? Why are Aine and Riki arguing?
Takamatsu was unaware that she was simply eating banana ice cream.
Fortunately, this terrifying atmosphere didn't last long, as Rinrinko on the other side of the bar called Shiina Tatsuki back.
It's still a busy time for customers, so Shiina Tatsuki can't leave her post for too long.
"Um, didn't we go a little too far..."
Noticing the chilling gaze of the black-haired girl, Chihaya Aine turned her head away.
"Why are you arguing? Stop arguing."
Takamatsu Akari looked at Chihaya Aine pitifully. She didn't want the two of them to argue because of her, since they were both very important people to her.
"Don't worry, Xiaodeng, I know why we're here today. Let's just wait for her to finish."
As long as the two of them stay until the break time at the livehouse front desk, Shiina Ritsuki will suddenly appear from the corner, like a stray black cat baring its teeth and claws.
Taking advantage of this free time, Chihaya Aine got up and looked at the job postings for livehouses, hoping to see if there were any suitable bands for her to join.
Although we keep saying we want Xiaodeng to join the band, whether she actually joins or not depends on her own willingness, so she needs to prepare in advance.
Unfortunately, the job postings mostly sought bassists, followed by drummers and lead singers, with guitarists being the most sought-after – she couldn't find a band she liked.
"Let's take another look at what's behind us..."
Turning around, Chihaya Aine saw a dashing female band member walking out of the livehouse.
The girl carried a bass box, had neat short hair, and wore a standard band uniform, but her sky-blue eyes were not cold—she looked like a master band member.
"So handsome."
A feeling of longing flashed through her mind, but Chihaya Aine was still quite sensible and did not rush up to invite him.
He's a professional bassist on a super team, while I only learned guitar for social reasons. Being teammates with someone like that might seem glamorous, but it's also very stressful.
As the RING clock ticked, time quietly passed, and there were no people around the front desk. Just as Chihaya Aine had expected, Shiina Tatsuki quickly appeared in front of them.
"Alright, the time is up to you. Although I hate to admit it, the lamp came here today just for you."
Chihaya Aine, looking annoyed, made room for Shiina Tatsuki.
"for
Did I come here?
Now it was Shiina Riki's turn to be surprised, his mouth slightly agape.
Chihaya Aine turned to look at Takamatsu Akari, who was looking down, shook her head, and then walked straight to her side and crouched down beside her.
"It's okay, organize your thoughts and speak clearly, I'm here for you."
Chihaya Aine's eyes were gentle, and the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a sense of calm and security.
Takamatsu Akari murmured, "Anon-chan."
Aine's smile held an indescribable magic, as if it could dispel all gloom, and with it, her heart gradually calmed down.
After completing her mission, Chihaya Aine slowly retreated to another table not far away, quietly watching Takamatsu Akari and Shiina Tatsuki.
Gao Songdeng is not good with words, but she can completely help him ask questions, understand, and solve problems.
However, this is not a good choice for Takamatsu lamps.
No one can be sheltered forever; sometimes, a person needs to take the initiative and move forward on their own.
Of course, this is definitely not an excuse for Chihaya Aine not wanting to chat with Shiina Tatsuki! Although this person is impolite and has a strange, stressed demeanor.
Okay, Chihaya Aine admits it, she just doesn't want to say another word to Shiina Tatsuki!
Back on the main battlefield, Gao Songdeng took a deep breath, his eyes hardening slightly, and then took out his all-purpose notebook.
"Taki, do you hate me?"
"I have many questions, but I can't get answers, so I came here today."
Upon hearing Xiaodeng's words, Shiina Riki's expression immediately became somewhat flustered, and he quickly waved his hand.
"Hate Xiaodeng? How could that be? I could never hate Xiaodeng!"
In her eyes, there is only one person in the Crychic band whom she respects and admires the most.
That person is Xiaodeng.
It can be said that without Tomori and without Tomori's singing, there would be no Shiina Tatsuki as we know her today.
She always remembered the spring day shadow.
That wasn't just Xiaodeng's own emotion, but also Shiina Ritsuki's inner cry.
Book 1, Lost Together: Chapter 13, Forming a Band for Life (3/5)
"is it?"
Takamatsu was confused again.
If Taki doesn't dislike her, then why did he always seem so cold before?
If she felt a strong sense of affection from Xiangzi and Aine, and a sense of family care from Su Shi, then with Li Xi, she could only feel seriousness and pressure.
"Won't Taki blame me? It's all my fault for causing the band to break up..."
After a long while, Gao Songdeng started apologizing to herself again, but the reaction of Li Xi when she arrived was beyond her expectations.
"No, this isn't Tomori's fault! It's all Xiangzi's fault!"
"She was so outstanding, with the ability to lead everything, but in the end she failed to fulfill her responsibilities!"
Shiina Tatsuki explained in a flustered manner, her expression contorted; her mood at that moment was as unpredictable as her face.
"She was the one who brought us together, but in the end, she disbanded us herself."
Chihaya Aine, who was not far away, also frowned slightly.
What a distorted sense of gravity! Luckily, I managed to pull myself out of it first.
At this moment, as she looked at them, the two fell silent again after mentioning Xiangzi.
"Xiangzi, Xiangzi, it's Toyokawa Xiangzi again. This person has a deep connection to Crychic..."
Chihaya Aine pondered.
What is Xiangzi like in the light of the lamp? Perhaps it is warm, or perhaps it is bright. But Lixi seems different. When she talks about Xiangzi, she has longing, but more so, she feels pressure.
In her eyes, Xiangzi was a piano master who seemed very independent and self-respecting, and that was about it.
However, let's put Xiangzi's matter aside for now; the atmosphere between the two of them is really not right.
Hoping these two can communicate and clear things up? Perhaps it's better to hope she goes back to London again; that would offer a better chance. (Maybe?)
"Ahem, so I was right, Shiina-san doesn't dislike Tomorin."
Chihaya Aine walked up to the two from a distance and entered the battlefield at the right time.
"Isn't that right, Shiina-kun? And not only do you not dislike it, you actually like it, right?"
Turning her gaze, Chihaya Aine decided to provoke the slightly arrogant black-haired girl.
"Huh? Uh, you!"
She spoke first out of habit, but Shiina Tatsuki's face turned red immediately after realizing Chihaya Aine's question.
Takamatsu, standing beside him, blinked his big eyes, his mind immediately drawn to the question.
She was also a little curious.
"Ah, um..."
Shiina Tatsuki felt truly embarrassed under the intense gazes of the two men.
In retaliation, she glared fiercely at Aine, then shyly looked at Takamatsu Akari.
"I, I will never hate Xiaodeng, not in my entire life."
"You'll do it for a lifetime too?" Chihaya Aine was speechless. These band members are really...
But these words were quite unusual for Gao Songdeng, and his face lit up several degrees.
"Is that so? I... I won't hate Lixi either, not for the rest of my life!"
"So, Lixi, do you want to form another band, the kind that lasts a lifetime!"
The words in her heart flowed out, and her sincere emotions were revealed. This was Gao Songdeng's invitation, and also proof of her determination.
"Of course, Little Lamp! A lifetime, then a lifetime it is!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Shiina Tatsuki excitedly stood up from his seat.
What a surprise!
To be honest, she always thought that Xiaodeng would never play in a band again.
That night, Crychic fell apart, Xiangzi disappeared from the band forever, and Deng also chose to leave.
After Deng left, she had no intention of staying with the band, becoming the third person to leave.
She thought that seeing Xiaodeng again would be the ultimate wish, but Xiaodeng's invitation made her unable to hold back her emotions any longer.
"Taki, thank you."
Seeing Lixi's unwavering resolve, Gao Songdeng's inner turmoil dissipated, and her expression relaxed.
She really did it. It turned out that seeing the band members again wasn't so bad after all, and that Li Xi didn't hate her.
That's wonderful, and Aine also deserves credit!
"Aiyin, come join us! Let's be a band together for life!"
Ah, me, me?
Chihaya Aine, whose name was called, pointed to herself. Unexpectedly, Akari also invited her at this moment.
Aine (scratching her head): "Can we start with one week?"
Shiina Tatsuki (looking displeased): "Huh?"
Takamatsu Akari (looking dejected): "..."
Aine (scratching her head again): "Then one month, one month!"
Shiina Tatsuki (looking even more displeased): "Huh??!!"
Takamatsu (whose head was almost buried under the table): "..."
"Let's start with your first stage performance!"
"I'm really fed up with this little lamp!" Chihaya Aine glanced resentfully at the somewhat withdrawn Takamatsu Akari, and said helplessly.
Upon hearing the words "perform on stage," Takamatsu seemed to be touched by something and finally raised his head.
"Then, it has to be until the first stage performance, no backing out, Anon, absolutely!"
Gao Songdeng looked serious.
"What I said I'd do for life is for life. If you don't want to join, you don't have to."
