"Even if it's Xiaodeng herself, it won't work!"

Book One: Confusion Together: Chapter Twenty-One Arrives Just in Time

Although Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari had only spent three weeks together, she knew exactly what kind of person Takamatsu Akari was.

Sometimes the radio waves are strange and inexplicable.

Sometimes clumsy, sometimes cautious

"Stop taking on all the responsibility, Tomorin."

"I really don't want to hear you keep talking about yourself like this..."

"Please pay more attention to yourself..."

As she spoke, she became more and more emotional, and before she knew it, Chihaya Aine was also choking up.

Perhaps Tomorin had already become an important person in her heart, but she only seemed to realize it today.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late.

“Anon-chan…”

Seeing Aion's moved expression, Takamatsu felt her eyes welling up with tears.

"Sorry……"

"Don't say sorry anymore! Xiaodeng didn't do anything wrong to me!"

"Yes... I won't say anything more."

Takamatsu Akari instinctively wanted to apologize, but was immediately glared at by Aine's reddened eyes, and the apology she was about to utter was swallowed back.

"Thank you, Aiyin. This is the first time someone has said these things to me."

Emotions flow like a torrent, while words are like a deficient nexus; one wants to say something but doesn't know where to begin.

"I, I, I really don't know what to say."

"But I think I can understand a little bit of what Aine said..."

Perhaps from a young age, a seed of pessimism was planted in her heart.

She was different from others; her personality was different, and her behavior was strange.

The label of being an outcast has been deeply ingrained in her subconscious without her even realizing it.

Because she was an outsider, Mio was no longer her friend...

Because I am not an ordinary person, I was unable to empathize with others when I graduated from junior high school.

Crychic disbanded because they were so bad...

Everything pointed to herself.

But Aine rejected all of that.

“In Aine’s heart, I also have my merits; I am not just a burden.”

Takamatsu knew that Aine was very good to her, really, really good, like a bright sun shining on her, very warm, but what about her?

What was her relationship with Ai-yin? Gao Songdeng had never wanted to think about it, or rather, she dared not think about it.

She was actually very scared, scared that she was nothing in Aine's eyes.

Can someone as scarred as me really hold a place in Aine's heart?

If even Aine can't accept her, she can't imagine who else could.

But now, Aine's honesty and truthful words made her realize that her thinking was wrong.

"So, I do have my strengths after all, even though I'm not fully human yet..."

"But I also have my strengths..."

"Wheat worm!"

"Perhaps, Lixi sees it that way too?"

If her previous meeting with Shiina Tatsuki had cleared up some of her doubts, then now she seemed to have completely grasped the answer to that question.

Perhaps at some point in the past, I also successfully entered Lixi's heart, but Lixi just didn't show it.

"It turns out that there are people who feel joy and sorrow because of my every move."

Thinking of this, Gao Songdeng seemed to understand something, and tears flowed down her face without her noticing.

"Woooooooo..."

"Huh? Why are you still crying? I haven't even cried myself!"

Chihaya Aine had almost managed to hold back her emotions, but unexpectedly, Takamatsu Akari burst into tears first.

"Never mind, waah, it's all Little Lamp's fault!"

The dam of tears collapsed, and Chihaya Aine's beautiful eyes were also covered with tears. Seeing Takamatsu Akari crying, she also wanted to cry.

"anon!"

"Eh?"

Chihaya Aine asked a question, not understanding what was going on, and then saw a gray figure slip into her arms.

"Ah, tomorin!"

Feeling the warmth of Takamatsu Akari's body in her arms, a blush immediately crept onto Aine's cheeks.

"Why do you suddenly want a hug?"

"Waaah, I don't know how to make this..."

Takamatsu had completely lost her ability to speak. If one were to ask why she did this, it would probably be due to her physical instincts.

Aine must never disappear from her world!

"Okay, okay, I get it."

Chihaya Aine's face turned red, and she didn't know what to do with her hands, but fortunately, Akari only hugged her gently and didn't hold her too tightly.

"You pounced on me first, so don't blame me."

"But the little lamp smells really nice, and it has such a light and airy feel to it..."

"It really looks like a little penguin!"

With her hands slowly resting on Tomorin's back, Chihaya Aine felt her face burning even more intensely.

Who wouldn't be tempted to hold such an adorable, goofy little animal in their arms?

Chihaya Aine frantically tried to comfort herself, telling herself that all of this was inevitable given the circumstances.

"But is this considered resolved?"

She had simply expressed her innermost thoughts, and then after a moment of contemplation, Tomorin's eyes welled up with tears. She couldn't quite figure out the reason for this yet.

"Never mind!"

Chihaya Aine chose to give up.

After running around and racking my brains for this little lamp all day long, it's time to start earning some interest from it!

"Hey!"

Chihaya Aine's right hand brushed against Takamatsu Akari's hair, and it felt quite peculiar.

"?"

The Takamatsu lamp in his arms felt the touch and, not knowing why, raised its head.

The two were already very close, and when Chihaya looked up,

Ai Yin then noticed that Takamatsu's small face was very close to hers.

A pair of bright amber eyes were blinking, filled with innocence and confusion.

"So close, Xiaodeng's face is just too unfair..."

Not wanting to continue watching, Chihaya Aine immediately looked away.

"It feels so good, Aine, touch it a few more times."

"Eh?"

Hearing her opponent's somewhat relaxed words, Aine turned her head again and saw Takamatsu Akari with a look of enjoyment and squinting eyes.

"A mere little lamp."

Chihaya Aine chuckled, and her right hand, which had paused for a moment, began to move again.

She carefully reached out and gently touched Takamatsu Takashi's hair with her fingertips. In that instant, an indescribable feeling welled up in her heart.

The hair glides through my fingers like silk, light and elastic, as if every strand is full of life.

"So smooth, hehehe."

Although I went through a lot of trouble to get tomorin back, this reward seems pretty good.

"So am I the first person to stick to Tomorin?"

Suddenly, a thought popped into Chihaya Aine's mind, and her face flushed.

Of course, you can ask Tomorin about this later.

A few minutes later, Chihaya Aine felt it was about time, so she decided to let Takamatsu Akari let go of her hand.

"Alright, Tomorin, now we should go back and meet up with Riki and the others..."

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

A roar came from the distant horizon. Chihaya Aine looked in the direction of the sound and saw two girls who looked like students.

One of them, with long, straight black hair, ran wildly, her face contorted with rage.

"Haha, you always arrive at the perfect time, Riki."

Chihaya Aine smiled without saying a word.

Book One: Confusion Together: Chapter Twenty-Two - Foresight of the Future

"When did you arrive, Nagasaki-kun? Riki?"

To avoid awkwardness, Chihaya Aine had no choice but to greet them first.

"I just arrived, thank you, Aiyin."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled, then stepped forward and grabbed the raging Shiina Tatsuki.

"Hey, did you make the light bulb cry?"

Shiina Tatsuki looked indignant.

Chihaya Aine said she could resolve the issue, but why did she see the two of them hugging and cuddling as soon as she arrived? Moreover, Tomori's eyes were red, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

"Huh? You mean if Tomorin cries, it's my fault? Riki, be reasonable."

Chihaya Aine was basically immune to Shiina Tatsuki's questions, and even asked back without any politeness, although it was true that the light was crying because of her.

"Lixi is too concerned about Deng's condition. Aine, don't be too angry. Also, thank you for comforting Deng."

Nagasaki Motoyo quickly tried to smooth things over.

Although she would love to see the two of them argue and make a scene so that Aine would know when to leave, it was clearly not the right time yet.

"Of course I do."

Chihaya Aine knew Tatsuki's attitude towards Akari, so she didn't take Shiina Tatsuki's words to heart.

Seeing that the two had calmed down and the situation was under control, Nagasaki Motoyo continued to speak.

"Sorry, Xiaodeng, I didn't consider your feelings. Maybe now is not the time to form a band..."

On the way here, Nagasaki Motoyo also realized that forming a band cannot be rushed.
