"It means it's very good?"

Chihaya Aine added with a smile.

"Uh, um..."

Looking at Aine's face so close to his, the image of the pink-haired girl in his mind instantly overlapped with reality, and Takamatsu Akari's face turned rosy.

"Yeah, that's good."

Upon hearing Takamatsu Akari's reply, Shiina Tatsuki's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed.

"But Riki, could you slow down a bit?"

"No, that would take away the feeling of speed!"

Upon hearing Ai-yin's inquiry, she rejected it without even raising her head.

"Let's try it out using this sheet music!"

Now that the decision has been made, it must be executed quickly. Every second spent in the practice room must be used efficiently and not a single minute can be wasted.

"rikki, I... I don't understand..."

Chihaya Aine weakly raised her hand, her voice gradually becoming barely audible.

"what?"

……

……

"What else can you play? Aigo?"

Looking gently at Aine, who looked somewhat embarrassed, Nagasaki Motoyo said with a smile.

"Besides the C chord, there's the G chord, A minor, and oh yeah, the F chord!"

After racking her brains for a while, Chihaya Aine found the trick and then placed her left hand on the corresponding silk thread.

The strings made a sound.

“Ding, ding——”

As the F chord, sounding as if it were dying, was played on the guitar, Shiina Tatsuki broke out in a cold sweat.

"No way..."

Staring at the weak and feeble Aine in front of him, Shiina Tatsuki finally sighed helplessly.

They keep saying they want to form bands everywhere, but is this the level of their work?

"Never mind, nobody's perfect."

Despite being somewhat frustrated by Ai-yin's guitar skills, for some reason, she felt a sense of peace.

“Even someone like her has obvious weaknesses. At least in the future, I will definitely have a say in the band.”

Recalling how she used to always be at a disadvantage in arguments, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly felt that she could stand up straight.

Being bad at the game isn't scary, nor is having a low playing level. What's scary is lacking skill and not putting in the effort. As for Aine, she needs to observe her further. And Soyo... oh, Soyo?

After witnessing Chihaya Aine's masterful performance, Shiina Tatsuki suddenly realized something and swiftly noticed Nagasaki Motoyo, who was still watching the show from the sidelines.

Since Soyo might do something bad in the future that could affect the band, then his poor performance skills should also be considered a bad thing, right?

"By the way, Soyo, why don't you play a piece too?"

"Ah, me, me?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was completely unaware that she could also be targeted, so she subconsciously asked a question in return.

“That’s right, Soyo, you play it once too.”

"Weren't we talking about Aine? Hmm, I'll give it a try."

Despite grumbling slightly, Nagasaki Motoyo picked up her bass and played the piece from the sheet music.

"Taki, how are you?"

Nagasaki Suyo felt a little guilty.

Since Crychic disbanded and the school's brass band has been busy, she hasn't played bass for a while.

"..."

Silently watching the awkward smiles of Aine and Sose, Shiina Ritsuki chose to close her eyes.

She may have found the reason why Tomori will collapse in the future!

Book 1: Confusion Together: Chapter 36 Nagasaki Motoyo is Under Control

"so……"

Why is Lixi here?

As she emerged from the Moon Forest, Nagasaki Motoyo looked at the spirited black-haired girl before her with a puzzled expression.

Shiina Tatsuki, the person least likely to appear at the school gate, actually showed up here. Shouldn't she be working at RING right now?

"Of course we're here to capture you for training, soyo."

Shiina Riki's expression remained calm as she began to walk forward.

"You're making me train? Does Taki mean I won't train on time and properly?"

Sensing Riki's hostility, Nagasaki Motoyo felt bewildered and somewhat confused.

So what if she didn't play the bass well? Judging from her performance, Aine was much worse. Shouldn't they be targeting Aine?

"Is Taki angry because I didn't play the bass well before?"

Nagasaki Motoyo tentatively asked a question, then followed closely behind the black-haired girl.

She decided to find out what was going on first.

"I'd say a little."

Shiina Tatsuki did not deny it.

Of course, she would never tell Su Shi a word about these deeper reasons in the future, as Su Shi is still under observation.

If Su Shi really intends to take advantage of the situation in the band... the consequences are truly unimaginable.

"Then I'll apologize to Taki first. I'll definitely train hard from now on."

Gazing at Riki's aloof back, Nagasaki Motoyo decided to back down first.

"As long as Soyo trains well, I definitely won't come to block the door again, even if I have to work late every day..."

"I will work hard, Lixi. Working part-time is also important. I can't let my situation affect the whole band..."

Li Xi's eagle-like gaze seemed to pierce through one's soul, and Nagasaki Sue felt her lips twitch.

"So, where exactly did things go wrong?"

Walking behind the girl's shadow, Nagasaki Motoyo was really depressed.

She tolerated Xiaodeng's sudden escape, and she didn't care about Aine's change in attitude, but even the usually reliable Riki showed her a side of pressure...

She just felt a little upset.

Isn't Li Xi the easiest to control? As long as we keep track of Xiao Deng's movements and keep Xiao Deng in the band, the band will definitely not have any problems.

At most, she felt that her emotions would be affected, but the most important thing was that if Lixi blocked the door every day, she wouldn't have much time to look for Xiangzi.

"That's it, it must be Aine's doing..."

After much deliberation, Nagasaki Motoyo felt that there were no other options.

Chihaya Aine used various methods to bewitch Xiaodeng's heart, and at the same time used reverse psychology to trap Riki... This is Chihaya Aine's trick!

"What a terrifying woman. I was almost fooled by her innocent appearance."

Having reached a decisive conclusion, Su Shi's gloomy expression vanished, and she smiled again.

"It's just about winning people's hearts, Aine. I don't think I'll lose to you."

With this in mind, she walked quickly to Lixi's side with an eager smile.

"Lixi, what do you think of Aine?"

A sweet and tranquil voice came from the side, and Shiina Tatsuki stopped in her tracks.

What do you think of that guy?

The image of the pink-haired, sunny girl who always bickered with him flashed through his mind, and Shiina Tatsuki's lips trembled slightly.

"He's probably just an annoying, shallow guy who inexplicably likes to cue people and craves attention, right?"

"And his guitar playing level is also very low."

Hearing Riki's utterly useless praise of Ai-yin, Nagasaki Motoyo simply smiled and said nothing more.

"However, that guy is sometimes... alright. Like when it comes to solving problems."

After managing to name one good point about Chihaya Aine, Shiina Tatsuki's face began to turn slightly red.

"Really……"

"Have you told Aine about this?"

Seeing that Riki was starting to take the bait, Nagasaki Motoyo decided to speed up the pursuit.

"Huh? How could I have told her? If you said a nice thing to her, she'd be flying to the moon."

Shiina Tatsuki turned her head away coyly, hiding her face so that Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't see her expression.

"In that case, Lixi, do you know how Aine feels about me? I always feel like she doesn't really like me..."

A somber expression crept across her face, and Nagasaki Motoyo visibly became dejected.

"She doesn't like you, so what? How did you figure that out? I feel like she likes you much more than she likes me."

With her lips slightly parted, Shiina Ritsuki looked shocked. Recalling Aine's behavior over the past two days, Shiina Ritsuki felt a surge of anger.

"Yes, yes?"

A hint of doubt flickered in her lake-blue pupils as Nagasaki Motoyo rubbed her fingers together.

Staring at Shiina Ritsuki's slightly resentful expression, she became a little uncertain.

"Don't you think she's been practically glued to you during rehearsals these past two days?"

Shiina Riki snorted coldly.

They clearly said they would guarantee Tomori's future, but now it seems...

They seem to be on the verge of defecting to the enemy.

As expected, protecting Xiaodeng is something she can only do on her own.

"Yes, is that so..."

Hearing Riki's angry words, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but stop in her tracks a few steps.

"Don't worry, Soyo, I'll keep an eye on Aine too, so you don't need to feel too guilty."

For Shiina Tatsuki, there's no difference between having one or two pressures.

She simply treated everyone equally, nothing more.

"Is this what I wanted to hear, Lixi...?"

Speechless, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly realized that she could no longer keep up with Ritsuki's thought process.

I wanted to hear Aine's true opinion about her, but now it seems like Lixi is throwing a tantrum.

Didn't you hate this pink-haired guy the most?

She inwardly mocked Shiina Tatsuki, knowing that the topic was no longer relevant.

"It seems we really have to start with Aine herself..."

Instead of relying on Li Xi, Nagasaki Motoyo suddenly thought of a very good method.
