The lady can hear my voice

The less threatening something appears, the more likely it is to be the ultimate boss.

"I say, why did you call us over here? What do you want to say?" Shiina Riki leaned against the door and asked in a somewhat impatient tone.

Chihaya Aine came back to her senses, put aside the messy thoughts just now, and said, "I have heard about what happened between you and Toyokawa yesterday."

"...?"

"Yes, did Niijima-kun tell you that?" Nagasaki Suyo asked in surprise.

Niijima-kun?

Jun is a more intimate name than classmate.

really……

Chihaya Aine narrowed her eyes and continued, "Yes, Sora saw that each of you was hit hard and has been troubled by this matter."

Gao Songdeng lowered his head with some guilt.

She actually felt bad for making Sora Niijima worry about her, but at that time her instinct was to rely on Sora Niijima.

"If you ask me, you guys are just thinking too much."

"Other people's business is theirs. What's the point of worrying about it?"

"Huh? You don't even know what happened..."

"Of course I know what happened. Sora spent ten minutes telling me everything clearly." Chihaya Aine and Shiina Tatsuki looked at each other.

"But does that matter?"

"Now, Toyokawa's family is indeed in trouble, but what can you do to help?"

“Aine-chan…”

Chihaya Aine interrupted Suyo and said firmly: "Since you can't do anything, you should do what you should do."

"Hasn't Toyokawa made it very clear? She will support our band as a fan in the future. If we really want to help her, we must first make the band famous."

“Only if you are famous can you get business orders in the future and make money through live shows.”

"But we have nothing now. We are just worrying about nothing. Isn't that just a waste of time?"

"Besides, whose band is this? Is it ours? Or is it empty?"

Hearing this sharp question, Shiina Riki immediately frowned.

“Our band, of course.”

"Then don't let Sora worry about you so much. Just do what you should do, such as practicing well, preparing for the next live, and putting in a better performance."

"If you don't do anything yourself and always hope that others will help you, it's unrealistic and such a band won't last long."

Chihaya Aine's words silenced the three girls present.

Gao Songdeng thought about how Niijima Sora had done so much for him during this period, but he had never given anything in return...

This really shouldn't happen.

Blindly relying on others means throwing all the troubles to Sora.

Aine-chan is right.

At this stage, I really need to work hard on my own.

Although Shiina Ritsuki was very unhappy inside, he had to admit that what Chihaya Aine said made a lot of sense.

There is no point in worrying about anything, it cannot solve any problems.

Only by practicing, practicing constantly, and learning other composition and arranging knowledge, can the quantitative change lead to qualitative change, and can the band really get better.

Nagasaki Suyo was also enlightened by these words.

If I try to help Xiangzi by force now, it will only make her hate me.

Indeed, all we can do now is to practice hard and then present a better performance to Xiangzi.

It has to be said that the only ones who can break the current situation are Chihaya Aine and Mao Mao.

Cats don’t know how to explain so many reasons, and they are too lazy to do so.

Then only Aine can do this.

After all, she is a legitimate member of the band, and there are some words and things that only she can do.

There was nothing that Sora Niijima could do.

Here the band regrouped and started practicing seriously again.

……

The ending band on the other side, however, encountered their own troubles.

"There's no place for us?" Hong Xia was in a good mood at first, but she didn't expect to get such a reply when she asked her sister Xingge.

"But...but we have been practicing for so long..."

"Practicing for a long time doesn't mean you are qualified to go on stage. Don't you know how bad your first performance was?" Ijichi Xingge said sarcastically.

"Besides, the last time you went to Ring and saw your friend's performance, you should have an idea of ​​what level you are at, right?"

"If you had their strength, I could let you cut in line."

"But not now."

Hong Xia clenched her fists. She usually had a good temper, but now she was really angry.

"But...it's not impossible for you to play if you want."

"But you have to pass an assessment."

"This weekend, I will serve as judges with Sora Niijima to assess your performance. If it's not good enough, then you should just keep practicing."

"Eh? Let, let Niijima-kun be the judge?" Hongxia was a little surprised.

"Yes, that guy looks ordinary, but he is actually the biggest contributor to the poet band."

“He is very good both in composition and playing.”

"So I think it makes sense to have him be the judge."

"But... Sister, have you ever asked for other people's opinions?"

Xingge looked at Hongxia with an ambiguous look: "Do I need to ask?"

"Eh?"

061 It seems I am still asleep

"Sora, I'm sorry for causing you so much trouble before... I didn't mean to cause you so much trouble."

"I will cheer myself up and continue to practice hard in the future."

"I will also try to perform better in the next live."

Takamatsu Deng came in front of Niijima Sora and spoke in a low voice.

She looked particularly cute with her blushing face, and she even handed him a stone.

"This is a special stone I collected for you."

Sora Niijima blinked and was once again overwhelmed by her cuteness.

[This kid Deng is just too cute...]

[And her ability to express herself seems to be getting better and better now? ]

【Aine actually did it……】

[Saint Aiyin helped me through this difficult time again. 】

Chihaya Aine felt a little jealous when she saw Takamatsu Tomori giving something to Niijima Sora.

But hearing his heartfelt praise made me feel a little better.

But why do you call me Saint Ain?

I'm not a saint, am I?

"Aine-chan, this piece is for you."

"Aine-chan has helped me a lot too, and is an important person as well."

Gao Songdeng treats the rain and dew equally, and also emphasizes the four words "important people".

This made Chihaya Aine a little flattered.

"Thank you... Deng-chan."

In the end, even Pochi-chan was not left out, and Takamatsu Deng gave everyone a stone.

Finally, he sat back in his seat.

Chihaya Aine took a look at the smooth pebble in her hand, while what Niijima Sora received was a stone with a rough surface and unclear layers.

His is much worse than mine.

Why did Deng-chan give him such a bad stone?

And Deng-chan... told me something very important...

Wasn’t the poem that day a confession of love?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, the date for Saturday is set.

Chihaya Aine stopped thinking about these things, but raised her head slightly and gave Niijima Sora a look.

Sora Niijima nodded with a smile to show that he received it.

-

In the next few days, Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Deng would go to band practice on time after school.

During his lunch break, Sora Niijima did not go to the music classroom to meet Shoko.

The reason was that Xiangzi told him that she would study hard for the final exam and strive to get the first place, so that she could get a higher scholarship.

The reason is very reasonable.

But Sora Niijima felt that she was deliberately avoiding him.

On the surface, they have reconciled.

But in fact, the situation has not improved at all, but has worsened.

Sora Niijima thought of many ways, but finally decided to put Xiangzi's matter aside for the time being.

Wait until the right time to help her.

Sometimes, forcing a helping hand can ruin an otherwise good relationship.

Sora Niijima is not Suyo and will never repeat her mistakes.

-

Nagasaki Motoyo's condition has also been getting better recently. At least when playing the bass in the band, her concentration has obviously increased.

After being enlightened by Aine last time, she gave up those useless efforts and focused on the playing technique itself and studying composition.

After all, this is their band, and she can't just leave everything to Lixi.

However, precisely because she was studying composition, she was spending more and more time at Sora Niijima's house at night.

Originally, we were going to have dinner and go back around 9 o'clock.

But now, going back at 11 o'clock is considered early.

Sitting at the dining table, Nagasaki Suyo was writing music, occasionally stealing a glance at Niijima Sora who was sitting opposite her.

It's already half past twelve at night.

Sora Niijima had been teaching her knowledge about composition since dinner, and apart from drinking some water, he had hardly taken a rest.

Now he was also beginning to feel drowsy, so he propped up the side of his face with one hand and started fishing.

Nagasaki Suyo felt particularly happy when she saw how defenseless he was in front of her.
