"Whether Aine admits it or not, we will never abandon her. Aine is great!"

Hearing Chihaya Aine's self-deprecating remark, Takamatsu Akari quickly shook her head. Aine truly deserved this praise!

“Even though she was hurt by such a terrible lie from Su Shi, Aine is still willing to communicate with me. Just for that, Aine is much stronger than me.”

It's fair to say that if Aine hadn't ultimately chosen to tell Sue the truth, then the disbandment of Mygo would have been inevitable on the day the group disbanded. Similarly, she wouldn't have known how to face Sue and the cruel truth.

So, it's really great that Ai-yin can say it!

"While it's true that what tomorin said is pretty much the same, tomorin also deserves a lot of credit."

"I chose to tell you because of tomorin's sincerity and courage."

Chihaya Aine smiled gently, her eyes filled with the girl's face.

Because she trusted Tomorin's character, she told him even with doubts, and Tomorin did not disappoint her in the end, finding the correct answer among all the possible explanations.

She won't leave as long as the little penguin in front of her still needs her!

Moreover, since yesterday's kiss, Chihaya Aine has found that her opinion of Tomorin has changed slightly.

Just like now.

I want to touch tomoorin.

"Since Tomorin wants to thank me, could you give me some kind of reward?"

"award?"

Hearing Ai-on's somewhat playful and cute remarks, Takamatsu Akari showed a puzzled expression, her bright eyes sparkling with confusion.

Although I don't know exactly what reward Aine was talking about, since she's already said so, I might as well just agree.

The love and dedication they've given to the band truly deserves a reward!

"Hmm, let me think about it~"

Chihaya Aine's gaze swept back and forth over Takamatsu Akari, her meticulous expression carrying a hint of cunning.

Although she did have a very bold idea in her heart, and if she said it, Tomorin would very likely agree.

But if that request were actually made, it would be deceiving Tomorin. Taking advantage of someone's vulnerability is absolutely despicable!

So, I guess I'll just have to hug him after all?

Having considered all possible consequences, Chihaya Aine finally walked up to Takamatsu Akari with a smile and opened her arms.

"As for a reward, how about Tomorin gives me a loving early morning hug? Three minutes!"

"A loving hug? How is that different from a regular hug?"

Takamatsu blinked, his mind racing as he considered Chihaya Aine's choice of words.

"The difference is huge, Tomorin! But now is not the time to dwell on that!"

Chihaya Aine quickly glanced back at Shiina Tatsuki, who was still fast asleep, and at the same time glanced at the alarm clock on the wall.

Once Riki wakes up, there will be nothing she can do. In other words, if she doesn't act now, she'll miss her chance!

"I, I will try my best!"

Takamatsu Akari swallowed hard, then slowly moved her body toward the pink-haired girl's chest.

Although she had hugged Aine and Lixi before, it was in a state of impulse, and she did it without much thought. But now she has to take the initiative and consciously hug Aine.

With increasing force, Takamatsu Akari slowly wrapped her arms around Chihaya Aine's chest, then gently placed her hands on her back.

"Hmm, Tomorin is too far away from me~"

"That doesn't count as a loving hug, does it?"

Chihaya Aine lowered her head, staring at the gap of more than ten centimeters between their bodies, and said with a hint of coquettishness.

Regardless of what constitutes a loving embrace, Tomorin at least needs to achieve the same level of love as before, right?

"Tomorin, well, how should I put it, just hug me the way you hugged me before, okay?"

This wonderful little penguin definitely needs some references and learning examples!

"Okay, I understand, Aine!"

The definition of a loving hug is vague, and it's unclear how to express it, but if it's something that has already been done, then for Takamatsu, it's easy to recall.

"Yes, it's about emotions and feelings... Only when the emotions are there can I enter that state."

Memories of the past flashed through her mind. Only when she had a deep intellectual exchange with Aine and Riki could she disregard everything else.

"I need loving sounds, just like a pill bug needs the sun, or a plant needs water..."

"And they won't lie either."

Gao Songdeng reorganized his thoughts, opened his eyes again, and his entire demeanor had changed.

"!!!"

In just a moment, Chihaya Aine felt a huge, intense heat source suddenly appear in her arms.

Tomorin has completely embraced us!

"So close, so close, really so close!"

At this moment, there was no extra space in front of her chest, and the distance between them was less than a millimeter!

Feeling each other's body heat transmitted through their clothes, Chihaya Aine could even sense the sounds of their rapidly beating hearts mingling together, as if playing a unique melody.

Tomorin's hands, which were resting behind his back, were also restless, moving up and down while he was hugging him, and they were quite powerful!

Even though she had prepared herself mentally beforehand, Tomorin's sudden and overwhelming attack still caught her off guard!

Chihaya Aine's gaze darted around in a flustered manner. At first, she tried to focus on Takamatsu Akari's shoulder, but as her heart pounded faster, her gaze gradually lost focus and began to wander uncontrollably. Everything around her blurred; she could only feel the strong embrace and the rapid breathing in her ear.

It was just a hug, yet it left her completely bewildered. This confused yet intoxicating feeling made Chihaya Aine feel as if she were trapped in a dream she didn't want to wake up from.

"Tomorin is such a master of hugs!"

Three minutes later, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari's bodies slowly separated, and her only thought now was that she was confused!

"Could this be considered a loving embrace? Aiyin?"

Takamatsu Akari timidly raised her head, her eyebrows and cheeks flushed a deep red!

"Of course it counts! Tomorin did a great job!"

Chihaya Aine touched her rapidly beating heart and answered Takamatsu Akari.

It seems she can no longer actively seduce Tomorin into doing such things...

Who is the hunter and who is the prey?!

After they separated, the two began to wash up. Before Aine finished washing up, Takamatsu Akari woke up the sleeping Shiina Tatsuki.

"Ah, Tomori, what time is it now?"

"It's still early, Taki. There are still a little over two hours before school starts."

Gao Songdeng pointed to the time on her phone; they were now washing up, eating breakfast, and heading to school.

There is more than enough time for a complete service.

"That's good, that's good. I absolutely can't let Tomori be late again like last time."

Shiina Tatsuki breathed a sigh of relief; she didn't want Tomori to be implicated because she had woken up late.

"By the way, what about that guy? Is he awake too?"

Looking around, Shiina Tatsuki was puzzled as she couldn't see Chihaya Aine.

"Aiyin woke up a while ago and is now washing up in the bathroom."

"Sure, I'll wash up in the bathroom."

"But Tomori, why is your face suddenly so red? Are you feeling unwell?"

To her naked eye, Gao Songdeng's face turned bright red. What had happened?

"No, I don't feel uncomfortable."

"If you feel unwell, please speak up. I will help Tomori no matter what."

"Thank you, Lixi!"

Gao Songdeng nodded.

Although the reason I blushed wasn't because I was feeling unwell, I was still too embarrassed to say that it was because I had hugged Aine...

After enjoying a hearty breakfast at Aine's house, Takamatsu Akari followed the two out of the entrance hall.

Now they should go to school.

The direction of Hanasakigawa School is opposite to that of Haneoka Girls' Academy, and she and Aine will have to part ways with Riki at the entrance.

……

……

Moon Forest, Girls' Academy, Nagasaki Motoyo's classroom.

At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo stared at her phone under her desk, scrolling through the band's group chat messages.

Since yesterday, Xiaodeng, Lixi, and Aiyin have stopped sending messages.

"So, is training still possible?"

After learning about Aiyin and Xiaodeng's issues yesterday, their band has once again fallen into the awkward situation of having no time to practice.

Filled with immense doubt and sadness, Nagasaki Motoyo sighed inwardly and then flipped open her phone.

Although she hates to admit it, the band's life after school has gradually become part of her daily routine. On days without practice, she even feels a little lonely.

Just as Nagasaki Motoyo was feeling a bit melancholy, her phone vibrated at just the right moment.

"Everything is settled. Everyone needs to be at training today."

"By the way, Su Shi, Ai Yin said this afternoon that she has something very important to tell you."

Shiina Tatsuki's憨厚 (honest and simple) panda avatar appeared on the left, and two messages stood out prominently in the empty chat group.

"Is the important matter about Xiangzi?"

Nagasaki Motoyo was deep in thought.

Two days ago, Ai-yin promised to tell her information about Xiangzi.

"Ok, I see."

Despite her growing doubts, Nagasaki Motoyo didn't show any excessive curiosity; she simply replied by tapping her finger.

After school in the afternoon, Nagasaki Motoyo quickly packed up her belongings.

With the band's needs at stake, she couldn't go to Yuqiu to wait for Xiangzi today. Half an hour later, carrying her bass guitar, she arrived at RiNG's training room on time.

There were four people standing in the training room at this moment: Aine, Xiaodeng, Lixi, and the stray cat Yao Lenai.

The moment she stepped through the door, a look of worry and urgency immediately appeared on her face.

"Aine, were you alright yesterday?"

Nagasaki Motoyo walked up to Chihaya Aine's side, her bass guitar still on her body in her haste.

"I, of course I'm fine, soyorin! I just had a small argument with tomorin yesterday, and we're back to normal now!"

Chihaya Aine quickly waved her hand, indicating that what happened yesterday was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Is that so? That's good. As a band, we're all in this together. When anything happens, we should think about communicating and resolving it first. If we communicate well, we can avoid arguments..."

"Do you really think so, Su Shi?"

"Hey, what does Lixi mean?"

Completely unprepared for Shiina Ritsuki's sudden interruption, Nagasaki Motoyo turned her head, her face full of question marks.

"Stray cat, go close the door and guard the gate."

"A matcha parfait."

"Here are two portions for you. Keep a close watch on the gate."
