They are really too low!

Hoshino thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know yet if it will be held this year, but if you're looking forward to it, you can tell your student council."

"Okay, I'll tell them when I get back!" Chihaya Aine said excitedly.

If she could form a band and perform on stage, she would definitely surprise everyone!

At this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo coughed twice, interrupting Hoshino Mi and Chihaya Aine's conversation.

"Excuse me, I haven't introduced myself yet. I'm Nagasaki Motoyo, a first-year high school student like Mutsu." Nagasaki Motoyo took a deep breath, suppressing her displeasure, and put on a smile again. "Hello, Aine-san."

"Oh, sorry, I got a little too excited." Chihaya Aine felt really embarrassed. "So you're a first-year student too. You seem so mature and composed; I thought you were an upperclassman!"

"Here, only the senior is considered a senior, so you don't need to use honorifics with me."

"Really? May I call you Su Shi?"

"Hehe, no problem."

"Hey, Su Shi, do you study at Moon Forest?"

"Both Xiaomu and I are students of Tsuki no Mori."

"Wow, she really is a young lady. Does she usually have a private car to pick her up?"

"It depends on the situation. Some students' families do provide transportation, but this is mainly for safety reasons."

"I understand, I understand, you sheltered young lady!"

Just like Hoshino Mi, Nagasaki Motoyo made the same judgment immediately after getting to know her.

She is a very lively and active girl. Her little mouth never stops. As long as you give her a topic, she will immediately chime in.

Nagasaki Motoyo felt inexplicably irritated. What was supposed to be a good opportunity to spend time with Hoshino Mi was suddenly interrupted by a chattering girl, which was annoying.

In particular, Chihaya Aine is going to join their band and immediately asks to be the lead vocalist, so this position is definitely not reserved for Chihaya Aine.

Therefore, Nagasaki Motoyo intends to shatter Chihaya Aine's illusion in time.

"Aine, we're happy to meet you, but your senior doesn't seem to be planning to form a band, right?"

Chihaya Aine, who was trying to find a topic to talk about, was suddenly stunned when she heard this sentence.

Seeing this, Nagasaki Motoyo said with a hint of apology, "Sorry, we were just discussing a song that you wrote yourself, not a song by the band."

Finally, she glanced at Hoshino Mi.

"Am I right, senior?"

Hoshino remained silent, realizing that this guy was quite cunning, deliberately saying something like that when people were happy.

At the same time, she can also shift the blame to herself and make herself give a proper response.

Chihaya Aine is in an awkward situation, as if she realizes that she jumped out too quickly and is now in a bit of a social disaster.

But you can't really blame her!

They were carrying guitar cases and seemed to have a good relationship. They had just booked a practice room together downstairs. Any normal person would assume they were members of the same band, right?

Moreover, Hoshino Mi and Nagasaki Motoyo were just talking about singing, which made her think that their band was currently lacking a lead singer, so of course she immediately raised her hand to sign up.

Ugh, so embarrassing!

Chihaya Aine, who is always good at reading between the lines, was able to completely understand what Nagasaki Motoyo meant.

That's why she now wishes she could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it to end it all!

However, Hoshino gave a strange answer.

“I have no intention of forming a band, but you guys can give it a try.”

Nagasaki Motoyo stood there, stunned after hearing this.

"Hey, Hoshino-senpai, what does this mean?" Chihaya Aine was a little confused. She thought she would be rejected and would have to run away in a bad mood.

"This girl next to you, Su Shi, actually really wants to have her own band," Hoshino smiled. "Would you like to play in a band with her?"

"Of course I'd love to!" Chihaya Aine nodded quickly. She was happy to play in a band with anyone!

"Wait, I don't understand!" Nagasaki Motoyo's tone suddenly became intense. "If I form a band with her, what about what you promised me?!"

“You can take this as a request from me,” Hoshino said indifferently. “If you don’t like it, you can refuse.”

Nagasaki Motoyo glared fiercely at Hoshino Mi, her full and firm breasts heaving up and down, clearly furious.

However, faced with the fearless Hoshino Mi, Nagasaki Motoyo still chose to submit.

"If it's your request, I can agree." With a hint of humiliation in her voice, Nagasaki Motoyo reluctantly agreed.

Eh?

Chihaya Aine was a little confused. They were probably just playing in a band, right?

Why did it look like Hoshino Mi was giving orders to Nagasaki Motoyo just now?

Moreover, Nagasaki Motoyo, this wealthy young lady, actually had no choice but to agree to Hoshino Mi's orders.

Chihaya Aine sensed something was wrong and subconsciously swallowed. Would she end up like that too?

Seeing Hoshino Mi's appearance, she felt very conflicted. She was so good-looking, she couldn't be a bad person, right?

[Your actions just now, during our first meeting today, left a deep impression on Chihaya Aine.]

[Chihaya Aine's intimacy level with you has increased. You can choose one of the following options.]

[1: Stamina +1]

[Part Two: You can find out any of Chihaya Aine's embarrassing past events]

[Part 3: Shoes worn by Chihaya Aine]

Hoshino saw the reward option that suddenly appeared and thought to himself that Chihaya Aine's reward was indeed the easiest to get; this kind of energetic girl was the easiest to get along with.

If you fulfill her wishes even slightly, she will remember you.

Hoshino was completely unaware of what he had just done, and he didn't sense that Chihaya Aine had a slight sense of awe towards him.

However, Hoshino subconsciously turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki and found her with a frozen expression at the front desk, which made her feel a little strange.

Yes, she's the only one who hasn't received a reward yet.

P.S.: The manager's name in the previous chapter was misspelled. It has now been changed to Hazuki. Yes, it's the reversed Hazuki.

Also, thank you to Shuke Xiao for the dog food reward.

Chapter 125 Easy to Handle

While I'm somewhat interested in Chihaya Aine's dark past, I'm hesitant to discuss the current situation.

Hoshino once again chose physical strength.

There's no way around it; your body is the foundation for having a harem.

Without a strong enough body, let alone having two women on each side, he'd probably have a hard time even dealing with Kasugano Sora at home.

Hoshino estimated that her current limit was about five times a day, which sounds like very little, but it already exceeds the limit of ordinary people.

Not only is he able to "exhibit anime," but he can also recover the next day, all thanks to his efforts in "physical strength." Otherwise, he would have suffered from kidney deficiency long ago.

"Um, is it just me and Suze?" Chihaya Aine cautiously raised her hand. "Two people can't form a band, right?"

Although Chihaya Aine was very happy to be able to play in a band with the young lady of Tsukimori, which was something to be proud of, she still felt a little strange.

Because Nagasaki Motoyo, who was sitting next to her, had an icy demeanor, it was easy to guess that she was in a bad mood just by looking at her.

"It's alright, teammates are easy to find." Hoshino remained unmoved by Nagasaki Motoyo's cold look, even tilting her head slightly with a questioning gaze, "Is Mutsu going to go with them?"

When Wakaba Mutsu, who had been sitting quietly to the side, heard Hoshino Mi's voice, he couldn't help but look up.

"See you, do you want to join the group?" Perhaps it was anticipation, but there was a hint of light in her eyes.

“I don’t form a band,” Hoshino replied briefly. He didn’t have time to play in a band; he could only practice with them occasionally.

"I'm not in the group either." The light in her eyes gradually faded, and Ruo Yemu slowly lowered her head, her voice very soft.

Since Hoshino Mi doesn't plan to form a band, and Toyokawa Shoko isn't here, she naturally has no interest in bands whatsoever.

Nagasaki Motoyo was a little dumbfounded: "Wait, aren't either of you coming?"

Is she the only one in the band now, with Chihaya Aine?

Not only her, but Chihaya Aine was also very surprised and quickly asked, "Hoshino-senpai, why don't you form a band with us?"

"Because I don't usually have time to play in a band," Hoshino said with a hint of helplessness.

"Hey, but didn't you bring your guitar here to practice?" Chihaya Aine was even more confused. If she didn't have time to play in a band, how could she have time to bring her guitar here?

"I'm just learning guitar, and Xiao Mu is teaching me. The reason we met here is because it's more convenient." Hoshino spread his hands, looking innocent. "Don't let my appearance fool you, I only started playing guitar last month, so I'm practically a beginner."

Chihaya Aine was shocked. This senior with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually a beginner who had just started learning guitar?!

No, it can't be a newcomer!

"Hoshino-senpai, don't think I'm easy to fool, that's why you're trying to trick me!" Chihaya Aine said angrily. "I only started playing the guitar last month, why were we discussing your original songs just now?"

“It’s simple, I’m exceptionally talented.” Hoshino smiled slightly.

Chihaya Aine was speechless for a moment, unable to tell whether he was joking or serious. But after hearing what he said, Shiro was even less convinced of the claim that he was a complete newbie.

"If you need it, I can provide you with temporary support, but that's all."

Chihaya Aine immediately beamed with joy. Temporary support was practically the same as playing in a band together!

When the time comes, she'll be the lead singer, and Hoshino will accompany her on the instrument. She might just become an instant hit!

Hehe...hehehe...

Soon, realizing she had gotten a little too cocky, Chihaya Aine quickly composed herself.

"Where's Mutsumi?" Chihaya Aine asked eagerly, looking at Wakaba Mutsumi. "Hoshino-senpai said you taught him guitar. You must be really good at guitar, right? Why don't you join our band?"

"I don't want to." Wakaba Mutsu lowered her head slightly, avoiding Chihaya Aine's gaze.

Chihaya Aine was instantly overwhelmed. She had finally managed to strike up a conversation with them and even found a teammate. Why did it turn out like this?

Damn it, could they be dating?

Not only were they sitting so close, but when one of them said they wouldn't form a band, the other immediately followed suit. They were clearly a perfect match!

"Don't look like that. Xiao Mu and I aren't planning on forming a band, but others might be interested." Hoshino smiled. "Su Shi is the bassist, so you can find a guitarist and drummer to fill the positions gradually, right?"

Seeing Hoshino Mi's smile, Chihaya Aine was slightly taken aback, then her eyes almost sparkled, and she couldn't help but say "beautiful".

Fortunately, she managed to hold back and didn't make any embarrassing noise.

Damn it, how come the young lady of Tsukimori gets such a handsome boyfriend!

This world is completely unfair!

If she had such a handsome boyfriend, she could imagine how envious everyone in the class would be. She would definitely be the most popular and prestigious girl in the class.

"Fill the gap?" Nagasaki Motoyo chewed on the word softly. She felt like she understood what Hoshino Mi meant, but she also felt like she didn't fully understand.

"I can be the lead singer and guitarist!" Chihaya Aine said confidently, as she has a guitar at home.

Even though her guitar playing is terrible, the most important thing about playing in a band is having fun!

"And what about the drummer? Has Aine-san thought about what to do?" Hoshino asked.

“We can take our time looking!” Chihaya Aine thought for a moment and said enthusiastically, “Actually, I invited some friends yesterday, but…”

She had only spoken halfway when she saw a figure behind the bar, and Chihaya Aine suddenly cowered.

"Do you know any of the waiters over there?"

Hoshino looked at him with some confusion, then turned to look again and said uncertainly, "You mean Shiina-kun?"

Chihaya Aine, feeling embarrassed, started whispering.

"Ahem, yesterday when I invited someone to form a band with me, she suddenly popped up and stopped me, saying something like, 'Are you planning to invite Deng to join the band?' No matter what I said, she just looked fierce, which was a bit inexplicable."

Nagasaki Motoyo had been angry and pretending to ignore everyone, but when she suddenly heard Chihaya Aine mention a certain name, she was startled.

"Are you referring to the Takamatsu lamp when you say 'lamp'?"

"Yes, she's my classmate."
