The lady can hear my voice

But this reconciliation only widened the distance between them.

If there was still a layer of fog before, it could make them feel that they were actually close to Xiangzi yet far away.

But now, when they lift the veil, what they see is an insurmountable gap.

Money is involved.

debt.

Even if they wanted to help, there was nothing they could do.

Saying you want to help would seem disingenuous.

Moreover, Toyokawa Shoko would not accept their help.

After all, if aid is really given, the relationship will deteriorate and friends will no longer be friends.

When he asked Xiangzi to be his music teacher and asked him to accept payment, Niijima Sora had no idea how many brain cells he had spent.

However, their current situation is completely different from mine.

"I can only go to school tomorrow and meet Xiangzi to have a good talk."

Sora Niijima glanced at the empty living room.

Tonight, Nagasaki Suyo did not come to have dinner with him.

-

The next day during lunch break.

As usual, Sora Niijima came to the music classroom and met Shoko Toyokawa.

Today he held an envelope in his hand, which contained the reward for Toyokawa Shoko.

They had originally agreed that they would receive payment one month later.

Today is exactly one month later.

Toyokawa Shoko still looks the same as before, with no changes from before.

Because she prepared a lunch box last time, but Sora Niijima didn't eat it, so she made it up to him this time.

but……

"Toyokawa-san, this is my payment for this month. I'd like to ask you to continue teaching me how to play the piano next month."

Toyokawa Shoko looked at the thick envelope and was silent for a while.

She didn't reach out to take it, but looked up and looked at Niijima Sora seriously.

"Niijima-san, do you think we are friends?"

Sora Niijima was stunned for a moment, then quickly replied, "Of course."

Upon hearing this, Toyokawa Shoko immediately smiled.

"Then I won't accept this reward."

"But we agreed before..."

"I haven't taught you much, and with your talent, Niijima-san, you can become a talent quickly by self-study."

"I don't deserve this kind of reward."

"Besides...I don't want our friendship to be affected by money."

"I want to be friends with Niijima-san for life."

"Niijima-san, I hope you can understand me."

Toyokawa Shoko's stubbornness and determination left Sora Niijima unable to utter a word of rebuttal.

This has nothing to do with self-esteem.

It was exactly as she said.

Don't want money to taint their friendship.

But it also cut off one way for Sora Niijima to help her.

……

【Did I do something wrong? 】

Sora Niijima began to reflect on himself.

[I pulled Aion in and let Deng reorganize the band]

[He also provided help to Xiangzi, but in the end he got such a mediocre ending? ]

[Which step was wrong? ]

On the way back to the classroom.

Suddenly, he was tapped on the shoulder.

I turned around and saw it was Aine.

Today, Deng took a leave of absence. Seeing that Sora Niijima was not in good shape the whole morning, Aine wondered if she could go and comfort him.

Who knew that this heartless person would run to the music classroom during lunch break.

Or having a secret meeting with Toyokawa Shoko.

Chihaya Aine was naturally very unhappy, but considering that Sora Niijima was in distress right now.

She decided to help him anyway.

There's nothing I can do about it, it's her fault for having poor eyesight.

“Aine?”

"Come here and have lunch with me."

-

Behind the teaching building, it is a suitable place for couples to have a tryst.

Chihaya Aine pretended to be calm, but her heart was pounding. After following him to a deserted place, she motioned for him to sit down with her.

Then have lunch.

"I made my own lunch box today."

Sora Niijima looked at her as she brought the dish to him, and the words “Praise me now” were written on her face.

So Niijima Sora praised: "It's very well made. Is this... a kelp roll?"

“It’s sausage!”

"You call this black thing a sausage...?"

"I just fried it a little longer. The internet says that browned sausages taste better."

Sora Niijima: “…”

[Ain, we don’t know how to cook, so we don’t have to force ourselves to do it. ]

When Chihaya Aine heard this, she picked up the sausage with chopsticks and stuffed it directly into his mouth with a smile.

"Well!"

“Hmm… ? Delicious…” Sora Niijima was very surprised. He had already prepared himself mentally to eat dark cuisine, but the taste was unexpectedly good.

Chihaya Aine snorted softly, and used the chopsticks that she had just used to feed him to pick up a sausage and put it in her mouth.

Indirect... kiss...

Chihaya Aine was a little nervous and her face suddenly turned red again.

"Okay, now you can tell me what's bothering you."

"It's about... Toyokawa-san and Tomo and the others."

Chihaya Aine rolled her eyes at him, "Of course I know that, let's get to the point, what did they talk about yesterday?"

"Why did the atmosphere become like that even though we were clearly reconciling?"

"And crychic, these are some things about the band in the past, tell me everything."

Sora Niijima: “…”

Chihaya Aine looked at him seriously, "I really want to help you think. The brainpower of two people is greater than that of one person. Don't you know how to solve the simplest math problem?"

"Okay...then don't think I'm nagging."

……

ten minutes later.

Chihaya Aine showed a very subtle expression.

"Isn't this matter easy to solve?"

Sora Niijima: “Really?”

Chihaya Aine looked at Sora Niijima's unbelieving expression and said with a smile, "Do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"As long as you can really solve this problem and make the band's atmosphere better... I can do whatever you want." Sora Niijima expressed his surrender.

There was no point in making bets, since he was the one who lost in the end for no apparent reason.

Chihaya Aine was full of confidence, "Sora, you are the one who is confused."

"You'll be able to see the light sauce back to normal tomorrow."

"Then... on the weekend, you go to shoot video footage and you can't bring those two people with you. You have to stay with me alone for the whole day!"

Sora Niijima had no objection at all.

As long as Aine can really do what she says.

060 Aiyin awakens the lost

After school, Chihaya Aine directly tagged everyone in the band’s group.

"Let's practice today and confirm the time for the next live performance."

Shiina Tachibana:?

Nagasaki Suyo: I can go, but... Deng-chan...

Chihaya Aine: Touma-chan, Sora said he'll be angry if you don't come over.

Then I saw Gao Songdeng, who had been silent for a long time, responded immediately.

Takamatsu Deng: Aine-chan, when are we going?

Shiina Riki: Huh? That guy is angry if he wants to, why are you afraid of him?

Nagasaki Suyo: Aine-chan must be joking, right?

Chihaya Aine looked at the responses from these people and snorted.

It seems that in the future, we can just use Kong's name to suppress them anytime and anywhere.

After all, I am a member of the band. Why do you always make me feel like an outsider?

This time I will let you guys clear your mind and ask who this band is.

-

Meet at the practice room.

Shiina Tatsuki, who was wearing a uniform, and Tomo and Suyo, who were wearing casual clothes, were all present.

If you look closely, you can see that Su Shi also wore light makeup, and the overall combination of the dress was also carefully considered.

Deng was more obedient, as she came in a hurry, so her hair was a little messy.

As for Lixi...

Chihaya Aine has always felt that her literary girl's appearance and temperament are very deceptive and are also a hidden enemy.

Ever since Takamatsu Touma confessed her love in public during a live performance, Chihaya Aine feels like she has to be wary of everyone.
