"Chihaya-san, is there anything I can help you with?"

Toyokawa Shoko politely asked a question, while her eyes gradually became more alert.

Although they had a few nodding acquaintances, it was nothing more than that.

Looking at the aloof and unapproachable young woman, Chihaya Aine scratched the back of her head in exasperation.

"You were looking at Soyorin at the school gate just now, weren't you?"

"soyorin?"

"Ah, that's a nickname I gave to Nagasaki Motoyo."

Chihaya Aine gave an awkward laugh. Soyorin might still be too trendy for Toyokawa-kun, but the name is definitely not the point!

"I didn't mean anything by looking for Toyokawa-kun, I just wanted to know what his opinion was on Crychic? If Suze comes to you again..."

"I regret to inform you that I cannot answer that question. If there is nothing else, I will be leaving now."

The moment Chihaya Ayane uttered the letters "crychic," Toyokawa Shoko frowned, then turned and left without a second thought.

"Hey, don't go, Toyokawa-kun!"

Seeing that the girl was completely refusing to communicate, Chihaya Aine hurriedly reached out her hand.

She hadn't finished speaking yet!

"Stop following me, Chihaya-san."

Her pace quickened rapidly, and Toyokawa Shoko's thoughts drifted...

It was extremely messy.

Well, now that one brown-haired guy has left, another pink-haired guy has arrived.

They're all clinging to her, aren't they? She's been trying so hard to keep a low profile at school!

A past called crychic is still chasing her!

"I've come to see Toyokawa-kun with a really serious problem, please let me finish speaking, okay?!"

On the long, steep slope, Chihaya Aine pedaled her legs, chasing closely behind Toyokawa Shoko.

"There's nothing seriously wrong with Crychic, so why is Chihaya-kun so fixated on an old acquaintance like me?"

Looking back every ten steps, Toyokawa Shoko's face flushed slightly, feeling somewhat speechless.

Why is Chihaya Aine still pursuing her? And she doesn't seem tired at all?!

After crossing Changbanpo, Toyokawa Shoko even wanted to run.

Pursued relentlessly by the pink-haired girl, Toyokawa Shoko arrived at Asukayama Park, not far from the school.

"Wow, Chihaya-san has amazing stamina."

Walking into the empty square of the park, Toyokawa Shoko turned her head coldly and saw Chihaya Aine standing a body length away from her.

"Phew, phew, same to you, Toyokawa-kun has great stamina too."

Her chest heaved wildly from running, and her face turned bright red from breathing. After resting for a while, Chihaya Aine finally spoke.

Shoko Toyokawa's stamina and running speed were among the best in her career of chasing and chasing.

"So, what exactly do you want to ask? Just ask already."

Shoko Toyokawa opened her mouth slightly in exasperation. She could tell that if Aine Chihaya didn't achieve her goal, she would probably keep chasing after her.

Let Chihaya Aine see what it's like to work... Absolutely not!

"I'm fine, Toyokawa-kun, don't worry. Of course, I wasn't hired by Sose-kun to be his mouth double."

Hastily expressing her pure and innocent stance, Chihaya Aine's expression turned serious.

"Toyokawa-kun, are you aware that Motoyo-kun wants to reunite Crychic?"

After a long silence, Chihaya Aine finally uttered the most crucial sentence.

"Recombining Crychic? What does that mean?"

After hearing Chihaya Aine's words, Toyokawa Shoko's calm expression finally changed—she heard words she had never expected.

"It means exactly what it says, Toyokawa-kun. Well, how should I put it, it's a complicated situation..."

With various thoughts about the future flashing through her mind, Chihaya Aine decided not to get involved in this place any further.

"Although I don't know why, Su Shi values ​​Crychic very much. Her dream should be to reunite you all."

"Regarding the rebuilding of Crychic, I wonder what Toyokawa's attitude is?"

With her silvery eyes fixed on Toyokawa Shoko, Chihaya Aine's aura became extremely strong.

This is a question that absolutely needs an answer!

Volume 2 continues! : Chapter 83: It exploded with Toyokawa Shoko!

"My stance on rebuilding Crychic? Chihaya-kun, do you know what you're talking about?!"

Shoko Toyokawa looked surprised and found it hard to accept what Aine Chihaya had said.

Rebuilding Crychic... When did she ever have such an idea? And it's an absolutely impossible thing to do!

"Of course I know what I'm talking about, Toyokawa-kun."

"This is a really important question for me."

Chihaya Aine frowned, her usual sunny and cute demeanor replaced by a solemn expression.

Although she didn't know more, she could still sense the restraint that Toyokawa Shoko was trying so hard to hide.

The aloof girl in front of me is definitely hiding something about Crychic!

"You really want to know the answer? Chihaya-kun, then I'll keep it brief."

“There is absolutely no possibility of Crychic being revived, and I have no intention of rebuilding Crychic. No matter who tries to persuade me, it will not happen.”

Are you satisfied with this answer?

Toyokawa Shoko stared sharply at Chihaya Aine, her cold words slowly uttered—this was her final ultimatum.

"So please pass on my message to Motoyo, Chihaya-kun."

"Please don't bother me anymore, okay?"

All I see are the smiles of the new couple, but no tears for the old ones...

For everyone, isn't this already the best possible outcome?

Although I don't understand why Su Shi is so straightforward about reviving Crychic, it's a pity that many things have quietly changed with the passage of time.

Time has passed, everyone is moving forward, and she is no longer the Toyokawa Shoko she once was.

Let's put an end to what's past here!

"Toyokawa-kun, do you know that you're acting just like a spoiled child?"

"Do you think Su Shi and the others will accept this so-called answer?"

Chihaya Aine's expression turned slightly cold; she was not satisfied with Toyokawa Shoko's resolute answer.

"I don't know what kind of unspeakable secret you have, Toyokawa-kun, that you're still hiding something even now, but..."

"You know your current attitude is hindering my ability to form a band?"

Ultimately, the Crychic incident has absolutely nothing to do with Chihaya Aine.

Those beautiful and bittersweet memories about the former band only exist in the conversational descriptions of tomorin and rikki; she didn't actually feel much for them.

Now their band is slowly getting better, and as long as Suze completely lets go of Crychic, everything will move towards the best outcome.

"If you really don't want Crychic to make a comeback, then what you need to do is to explain things clearly, instead of acting all self-pitying and taking all the blame on yourself."

"Heh, how aloof you are, Chihaya-kun."

"You make it sound so easy, but what do you really know about me?"

Toyokawa Shoko's lips twitched slightly, then she gave a disdainful sneer. She crossed her arms, leaned back slightly, and tilted her head to one side, her face filled with disgust and contempt for the pink-haired girl's words.

"So, because I left without saying goodbye, because I didn't explain things properly, that's why your band is now at odds?"

"Stop saying things like that to shirk responsibility, Chihaya-kun."

"Since you're so confident and willing to help Su Shi resolve her inner conflict, why don't you go to her instead of coming to me?"

Do you really think that I, an outsider, can have much influence on your band?

As Toyokawa Shoko's sharp retort faded, a gust of cold wind suddenly swept across Chihaya Aine's cheek in the park, making her feel chilly.

Toyokawa Shoko's question really stumped Chihaya Aine.

"So, please think it through carefully, Chihaya-kun."

Finally, after giving Chihaya Aine, who was standing there frozen in place, a cold glance, Toyokawa Shoko withdrew her aggressive stance and closed her eyes.

She had nothing more to say.

I thought Chihaya

Aine can do things she never could before, leading Akari and the others forward, but now she seems to be just an ordinary girl.

Toyokawa Shoko slowly turned around, reopened her eyes, and picked up her phone to check the time—it was almost time to deliver the evening paper, and she couldn't afford to be late any longer.

Watching Toyokawa Shoko's retreating figure, Chihaya Aine did not continue to chase after her. She simply stood there quietly, her expression blank, letting the evening chill of Asukayama Park blow on her.

"What's causing this feeling of frustration...?"

Chihaya Aine gritted her teeth, a sense of annoyance rising within her.

It must be admitted that what Toyokawa Shoko said did make some sense, and she didn't even think of a rebuttal for a moment.

Yes, why doesn't she just communicate with Soyorin directly? What is she afraid of?

Now that C-group's disbandment is a done deal, all that needs to be done is for Soyorin to adjust their attitude, change their perception, and then wholeheartedly focus on the current band...

All of this really has little to do with Toyokawa Shoko.

"Damn it, damn it, does that mean I'm being unreasonable?"

Chihaya Aine's face flushed slightly with anger, and in many ways, what Toyokawa Shoko said was exactly the same!

The more reasonable Toyokawa Shoko's words seemed, the more distressed she became!

"It's simply impossible for Soyorin to slowly open up and accept the band without conflict."

“From the very beginning, Riki and I were completely on the wrong track.”

Feeling somewhat remorseful, Chihaya Aine lowered her head, looking utterly dejected.

A relationship built on lies can never involve genuine commitment.

Soyorin is using them in an attempt to revive Crychic, but aren't she and Lixi also using the future to restrain Soyorin?

From beginning to end, the three of them were just performing on the stage they had created, and apart from tomorin, they knew nothing about tomorin.

But the truth will eventually come out, and the matter concerning Su Shi and Crychic will one day have to be faced.

Although there may not be a practice room incident, there will be other café incidents and school incidents in the near future, and the final result will be the same.

“Yes, just like what Toyokawa said, we have actually been afraid all along, but Riki and I have not realized it, or rather, we have been unwilling to admit it…”

Chihaya Aine's thoughts kept returning to the past, eventually stopping at the timeline where she first met Kita Nina and the others.

Beware of Motoyo Nagasaki; she can have a negative impact on the band.

To avoid negative impacts and prevent the band from falling apart, they have been carefully maintaining the band's peaceful status quo and avoiding conflict as much as possible...

But is the band truly thriving and steadily improving? Or is this all just wishful thinking on Chihaya Aine's part?

Volume 2 continues!: Chapter 84 Succubus's First Blossom

While Aine was still troubled and confused, at the same time, Takamatsu Akari, who had arrived home, was somewhat unhappy.
