"Oh, right, Little Lamp."

Before leaving, Nagasaki Motoyo blushed slightly and called out to Takamatsu Akari, who was waiting.

"You can't tell Aine and Riki about what happened yesterday. It's our little secret."

"A little secret? I understand."

Since Su Shi has said so, then she... should just follow her name.

After walking quite a distance from Su Shi's house, Takamatsu Akari suddenly remembered something very important.

"Oh, I came here to see the stone that Su Shi mentioned!"

While I am happy to be able to build a deeper relationship with Su Shi,

A night passed, and she still hadn't seen the stone.

She had completely forgotten about yesterday's scene and the agreement she made at Su Shi's house.

"Let's visit the Su family again next time..."

Gao Songdeng blushed and gripped his schoolbag tightly.

Looking at stones and connecting with the world can be done simultaneously!

The morning sunlight shone on the Takamatsu lamp, bringing a touch of warmth.

Upon arriving at school, Gao Songdeng had just stepped into the classroom when she heard a vibrant voice coming from behind her.

"Good morning, Tomorin!"

Takamatsu Akari turned around and saw Aine waving at her with a bright smile on her face.

"Good morning, Aine," Takamatsu Akari replied with a slight smile.

"Tomorin, where did you go after you went shopping with Su Shi yesterday?"

Chihaya Aine tilted her head and asked curiously.

Given Su Shi's ruthless and heartless nature, it's hard to say what unspeakable things might happen if Xiao Deng were taken to his home!

“I went to… Su Shi’s house.” Gao Songdeng turned her face away, her cheeks slightly flushed.

"Hey, you went to Su Shi's house?"

"No, but Su Shi and I didn't do anything."

Upon seeing Chihaya Aine's particularly suspicious, silvery eyes, Takamatsu Akari added a particularly serious comment.

However, in Chihaya Aine's view, this additional sentence carried a hint of trying to cover up the truth...

"Little Lamp, you really aren't good at lying~" The pink-haired girl shook her head with a smile.

Teaching Tomorin to lie and cheat seems like even Soyorin wouldn't be able to do it!

Everyone has secrets and places they don't want others to see. Since tomorin is unwilling to talk about it, it probably means that it's what Su Shi herself wants.

She felt she could at least barely grasp the underlying meaning and implications of Soyorin's words.

However, let's leave the topic of Su Shi aside for now; she's more concerned about Gao Songdeng's condition.

These past few days, I've felt a bit neglected by Tomorin! That's how Chihaya Aine feels.

"I can ignore what happened between tomorin and soyorin... but tomorin, don't even think about escaping."

She reached out and gently patted Gao Songdeng's shoulder, her tone gentle yet playful.

"Let's talk after school! I won't let Tomorin off the hook so easily~"

The band's lifelong manifesto has already been spoken, so it must be put into practice... But everyone seems to have a special feeling towards Tomorin.

This is something that needs to be addressed!

Time quickly passed and it was after school. Before Takamatsu Akari could even pack her schoolbag, Chihaya Aine appeared in front of her.

Waiting for her.

"Let's go, Tomorin, but we can't run away, okay?"

"I...I won't run away...Aine."

Why did Aine run away?

Since the desire to have everything has been made... then everyone should respond in some way, and Aine's position is definitely number one among them.

The two walked and stopped along the way until they arrived at the Astronomy Club. After closing the club's doors, Chihaya Aine revealed a solemn expression.

"Tomorin, do you... also like Lixi and Sushi?"

The direct and to-the-point remarks directly pointed out Takamatsu Akari's...

She spoke her mind, and when faced with this accusation, Takamatsu showed no sign of panic; on the contrary, she nodded emphatically.

"Yes, I like... Lixi and Sushi too."

Once you've clearly defined your feelings, put them into action. Even if there are many difficulties and obstacles along the way, Gao Songdeng believes he must persevere.

"Actually, Lixi confessed to me before..."

Takamatsu briefly told Aine about the incident of Riki's confession.

Without Riki's confession, perhaps she wouldn't have known her own feelings and thus wouldn't have been able to show Aine her true needs. But perhaps Aine should also know about the entanglement and pain involved.

Complete trust, no reservations, even if Aine doesn't agree with her views... because this path is definitely not right, it's even... completely wrong.

"Lixi was very sad to learn that I liked Aine, so he wished me and Aine well, but that meant that Lixi wouldn't be able to... find happiness."

"I don't want to see anyone in the band sad."

"I want everyone to be happy together."

Lixi, Su Shi yearned for her, and so did she. But of the three, her favorite was probably Aine... That was an undeniable fact.

"You want everyone to be happy together? Tomorin means that I, Lixi, and Sushi are all your girlfriends, right?"

"May we find one heart to share, and stay together until our hair turns white," but tomorin... his ambition is truly grand! In that case, why not just add Renai as well?

She had thought about how to talk to Tomorin about this topic along the way, but no matter how much she imagined it, when she actually arrived at this moment and heard Tomorin's words, she was still somewhat surprised and had mixed feelings.

Tomorin, you really said something amazing!

"I, that's not what I meant..."

"I don't think I can make everyone my girlfriend."

Whether to date someone directly or to date a group of people... Takamatsu Akari doesn't think she has that kind of amazing ability.

In the end, she definitely won't make it!

"But if anyone has any requests of me... I will do my best to fulfill them!"

Not just Su Shi, but also Aine and Li Xi... We have to consider everyone's feelings!

Looking at Takamatsu Akari's serious expression, Chihaya Aine felt a mix of emotions.

Although she may have sensed that Tomorin's feelings for the band members were somewhat complicated, she did not expect it to develop to this extent.

"Tomorin, do you really think... this will work?"

Chihaya Aine asked tentatively, her tone tinged with uncertainty.

Although Tomorin is determined and willing to shoulder the burden of their lives, the consequences of such a mistake could be enormous! No one knows what the final outcome will be!

And Li Xi, Su Shi, are constantly vying for Tomorin, repeating this same daily routine? Does the band still need to exist?

Chihaya Aine doesn't really want this kind of future.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Aine. This may not be feasible, but I don't want to see... anyone sad."

Takamatsu lowered his head, his fingers twisting together gently, just like his chaotic and confused mind.

Lixi, Sushi, and Aine—each of them is extremely important to her. She wouldn't want to hurt others because of choosing one person.

Chihaya Aine looked into her eyes, and a wave of tenderness washed over her.

She could also sense some of Gao Songdeng's feelings and struggles.

Reality isn't a fairy tale, and in the world of emotions, there are often no perfect solutions. Coincidentally, she, Lixi, and Sushi all fell in love with Tomorin.

But rather than attributing it to coincidence or unpredictable coincidences, it's more accurate to say that the power and beauty of Tomorin attracted them together.

Tomorin personally pulled her back from her escape, found the sick Lixi, and dragged Sushi onto the stage.

They've done so much for them, and even now they're still thinking about everyone's feelings.

Thinking of this, Chihaya Aine stepped forward, getting a step closer to Takamatsu Akari.

"Tomorin, have you ever thought that perhaps you don't have to bear all the responsibility alone?" Chihaya Aine said softly, her eyes full of pity.

How can we let Tomorin be the only one troubled by relationships, feeling sad and confused about their future?! That's unfair to Tomorin!

"Eh, what does Aine mean?" The girl raised her head, which had been bowed in disappointment.

"That is to say, Lixi, Sushi, and I all have our own thoughts and choices. You don't need to force yourself to do something impossible just to make us all happy."

Even a couple might have their share of troubles in their relationship and eventually break up. Tomorin would have to face her, not to mention Lixi and Sushi.

The relationship between the three of them is not so easy to manage!

"But... I don't want to see anyone sad. If my actions make things awkward for everyone, or even affect the band, then... I really don't know what to do."

Gao Songdeng's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was a little choked up.

We, who are determined to keep moving forward despite our confusion, must not fall apart again because of her! No, no, absolutely no way the band will disband!

Chihaya Aine looked at Takamatsu Akari's reddened eyes and felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She sighed softly and reached out to grasp Takamatsu's hand.

"Tomorin, from today onwards, you won't have to bear all this alone. I'll help you, and we'll find the answers together, okay?"

Takamatsu Akari paused, a hint of surprise and gratitude flashing in her eyes: "Aine... are you really willing to help me?"

Aine said she was actually going to help her, not out of anger or annoyance, but to find the answer together with her.

Chihaya Aine nodded, a gentle smile appearing on her face.

"Of course! Tomorin's troubles are my troubles. How could I possibly leave Tomorin0 alone?"

"Tomorin has never abandoned me since the beginning, and now it's my turn to catch up with Tomorin!"

A warm feeling welled up in Takamatsu Akari's heart. She held Chihaya Aine's hand tightly, her voice trembling slightly, "Thank you, Aine."

"Forming a band for life is tomorrow's dream, and naturally it is also the wish of me, Lixi, and Sushi. But the realization of the dream cannot be achieved by tomorrow sacrificing himself alone. Each of us has our own responsibility."

Takamatsu looked up, feeling a warmth in her heart. She nodded gently, finally realizing the true meaning of Aine's words.

At the same time, intense emotions welled up within him. Takamatsu Akari only wanted to speak the words that overflowed from his heart.

"As expected, this is why I like... Aine." Takamatsu Akari's lips curled up slightly, her bright orange-yellow eyes gazing at the cute girl in front of her.

Chihaya Aine paused for a moment, then a blush appeared on her face.

"Tomorin, what...what did you say?"

"like

I like Aine.

Takamatsu Akari didn't say anything more, but gently pulled Chihaya Aine into her arms, their bodies pressed tightly together.

Their heartbeats could be clearly heard in the quiet room, and their warm breaths lingered between their ears and noses.

Chihaya Aine felt the warmth emanating from Takamatsu Akari, and a sense of peace and happiness welled up inside her.

"Tomorin, your embrace... is so warm," Chihaya Aine whispered, her voice tinged with shyness.

No matter how many times I hug Tomorin like this, my whole body is filled with warmth...

Happiness.

"Tomorin, we'll always be together, right?"

"Yes, we will always be together. No matter what the future holds, I will cherish every moment I spend with Aine."
