The lady can hear my voice

Nagasaki Suyo walked beside Takamatsu Deng, watching her always in an autistic state, and thought to herself.

If I had asked Niijima-kun to take her home, who knows what would have happened...

It would be safer if I take her back.

Although there is no way to know what happened on the band's side.

But there are also things worth exploring about the lamp.

“Tou-chan, are you… troubled by the conflict with Aine-chan?”

The day before yesterday, Takamatsu Deng took the initiative to mention this matter to her, but Nagasaki Suyo didn't care too much at that time.

But later, when she returned home and took a bath, she thought about it carefully and realized that there was something fishy going on and that she was negligent.

Neither Deng-chan nor Aine-chan are the type to fight with others. If two such people could have a conflict, then there is obviously only one answer.

That's related to Niijima-kun!

After thinking about this key point, Nagasaki Motoyo decided that she must find time to have a good talk with Takamatsu Deng again.

Now is the perfect opportunity.

When Gao Songdeng heard this question, he pursed his lips and became even more withdrawn.

But she nodded in response.

Su Shi immediately softened his voice, "Can you tell me about it?"

In fact, Takamatsu Deng was in a state of extreme confusion, and she really needed someone to tell her what to do next.

But because of what Chihaya Aine said, she now doesn't dare to talk to Sora Niijima.

So... at the moment, the only one who can be the listener is Nagasaki Motoyo.

……

"Eh... the aquarium..." Nagasaki Suyo pinched her fingers while listening to Takamatsu Deng's story.

“Well, because Sora and I agreed to meet after 3pm, and Aine-chan saw us…”

Although Niijima did mention it at that time.

If this eavesdropping was exposed, Chihaya Aine would definitely be angry.

She actually knew it.

But I still acted on impulse and thought about going to the aquarium with Sora Niijima.

Her idea is actually very simple.

She wanted to do what Aine had done with him.

She also wants to go to the places she has been to.

I don’t want to be like last time and see them talking about things I know nothing about.

Takamatsu Deng didn't want to be left out, and likewise, she really wanted to get closer to Niijima Sora.

Just looking at the stars once every ten days was no longer enough for her.

But now she still couldn't correctly understand her own emotions at this moment.

However, Nagasaki Suyo felt her scalp tingling as she listened to Takamatsu Deng's story.

Deng-chan...when did it become like this?

Niijima-kun's charm is still too great...even Deng-chan...

Nagasaki Motoyo's sense of crisis grew stronger again.

"This matter...it's true that you did something wrong, Deng-chan." Nagasaki Suyo said in a gentle tone, "But, there's no need to blame yourself so much. After all, you've already apologized to Aine-chan, right?"

"But...Aine-chan, you didn't forgive me."

Nagasaki Suyo listened to Takamatsu Deng's confession and thought to herself.

It's normal not to forgive.

I also haven't forgiven Mu-chan for hindering me like that before.

But...how can I comfort Deng-chan?

Wait... Although Deng-chan now has a great affection for Niijima-kun, it is obvious that she has not fully understood her own vague feelings.

Thinking of this, Nagasaki Suyo had a new idea.

“Dou-chan, you want to make peace with Aine-chan now, right?”

Gao Songdeng: “Yeah.”

"But before that, we have to make one thing clear."

"You currently want to become good friends with Niijima-kun and Aine-chan, right?"

Gao Songdeng nodded.

There is indeed nothing wrong with this statement.

"Since you both want to become good friends, it also means that you have the same feelings for both of them." Nagasaki Motoyo said in a firm tone.

Deng-chan's feelings for Niijima-kun are still vague, like a seedling that has not yet fully developed. If I can straighten it out... then there will be a lot less trouble in the future.

I am not in the same school as Niijima-kun, and now I can only see him when I go home every day.

Having Aine as a trouble was enough.

Deng-chan, it’s better if you don’t get involved.

"Friendship..." Takamatsu Deng listened to what Nagasaki Motoyo said, nodded and shook his head: "But... I think Sora and Aine-chan are still a little... different."

"That's because Niijima-kun is a boy and Aine-chan is a girl, so it's just an illusion that they feel different."

"Is... that so?" Seeing how determined Nagasaki Suyo was, Takamatsu Deng began to doubt himself.

"Yes, Tou-chan, so if you want to reconcile with Aine-chan, it's actually very simple."

"You just need to tell her that your feelings towards Niijima-kun are purely friendship and you have no other thoughts. The aquarium incident was just because you didn't want to be excluded by your friends, so you did something wrong on impulse."

"Just say that and you can clear up the misunderstanding and make peace."

Seeing that Takamatsu Deng was still hesitant, Nagasaki Suyo decided to add fuel to the fire.

“Deng-chan, if this continues, Aine-chan… will most likely leave the band. Is that okay?”

When Gao Songdeng heard this possibility, he instinctively resisted.

“No! Aine-chan… is also an important bandmate…”

Nagasaki Suyo smiled slightly.

"Deng-chan, there's no need to worry so much. Now that you understand the situation, you just need to clear up the misunderstanding and everything will be fine."

At this moment, Takamatsu Deng's mind was completely occupied by Nagasaki Suyo's words.

If we clear up the misunderstanding... then everything can be restored to normal...

Is it really possible?

-

next morning.

Chihaya Aine is as cheerful and gentle as always.

But she was actually very tired.

Only then did she realize that she had been hiding all the unhappy things in her heart and pretending.

It is such a distressing thing.

So...Sora, have you always been doing something like this?

Chihaya Aine turned her head to look at Sora Niijima who was studying at the moment, and sighed softly in her heart.

Soon it was time for lunch break.

Chihaya Aine prepares daily bento to share with everyone.

But this time...

Gao Songdeng called her.

"Aine-chan...can we eat together for lunch today?"

"..."

Chihaya Aine looked at Takamatsu Deng who was still hesitant, and finally nodded.

It’s no good keeping it in your heart. It’s time to talk it out with Deng-chan.

-

"Aine-chan... I..." Takamatsu Deng was about to speak when he was interrupted by Chihaya Aine.

"Deng-chan, before you say what you want to say, I also have something to make clear to you."

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath and said seriously and solemnly.

"Deng-chan, I like Kong, and I like him very much."

Gao Songdeng's brain suddenly crashed.

She listened to Chihaya Aine's words in a daze.

"Because I like him, I have been catering to his expectations during this period."

“And this band can continue.”

"But from now on, we have to compete fairly, instead of eavesdropping on what I said to him and then going to the places he and I went to like last time."

"Deng-chan, that's really... despicable." Chihaya Aine thought about it again and again, and finally said this word.

She looked at Gao Songdeng and said seriously, "So I will not forgive you for that matter."

"But we can still be friends, provided we compete fairly in the future."

"If I lose, I'll bless you and Sora."

Gao Songdeng: "Competition..."

This is a word that Gao Songdeng has never thought of.

"But...Aine-chan, you'll still quit the band when the time comes...right?"

Chihaya Aine was stunned for a moment.

She thought about how she had been working hard on the guitar during this period, and the time she had practiced with the other four people.

Although these are good too.

But it is certainly far inferior to every minute and every second spent with Sora Niijima.

"Yes, I will quit the band." Chihaya Aine gave a very forced smile.

"After all, no matter how good my mental state is, I can't just sit back and watch the person I like being intimate with someone else."

"But when the time comes, I will give my blessing."

Then get out of here.

The last thing Chihaya Aine could think of was to escape.

If he was really rejected, or if Sora Niijima fell in love with someone else.

Then she would probably change schools right away.

Chihaya Aine remembered it clearly.

This is also what Sora Niijima once told her.

If you can't accept it, then escape.

There is no need to tense yourself too much, sometimes escaping is also an option.

Although doing so would also mean that I have made no progress at all.

Takamatsu Deng looked at Chihaya Aine's expression and felt very uncomfortable.
