Who says meal replacements can’t be eaten as meals?

"...Where is heavy metal?" Ruoye Mu looked up and asked.

"I don't like it very much. I always feel it will be too noisy." After combing her hair, Ms. Sakuya bit the hair scarf as usual and put her hair up in a silly way.

Cucumber flowers are withering!

Miss Mutsu's expressionless face revealed a look of loss that was obvious enough to be observed. She could only look at Sakuya's body and barely recovered her spirit.

"But I will listen to some songs over and over again. They have a strong sense of power. Even though I have never studied this field, I can still feel the emotions of the performers." After tying her hair, Ms. Sakuya stepped forward naturally, took Wakaba Mu's shoulders and turned half a circle, hugging her waist-length light green hair. "I didn't expect that the quiet little Mu would like such a wild type of music."

The cucumber flowers bloomed in an instant. Wakaba Mutsu lowered her head shyly to allow Sakuya to help her put her hair up. She also subconsciously gave Toyokawa Shoko a cute look of victory.

Toyokawa Shoko rolled her eyes, cast a caring look like an elementary school teacher, and handled her headscarf with unskilled hands. Mu was just a child if she was satisfied with this level, Miss Shoko, who had successfully collected some interest in the locker room, thought disdainfully.

"Mu's favorite music is not strictly considered heavy metal, but he just wants to play the guitar as he pleases, right?" As the half who knows Mu best, Ms. Xiangzi explained in a low voice. The atmosphere in the Wakaba family is even more depressing than when he was still in Fengchuan, and Mu just expresses all his frustrations through music.

"......Yeah." Wakaba Mu wanted to nod, but his hair was grabbed again. He moved slightly and then gave up and stood still, carefully feeling the gentle touch of fingers running through the ends of his hair. "I want to play with Sakuya."

"So sudden?"

"......Um."

"Okay, I'll make time to spend time with Xiaomu next week." Ms. Sakuya, who had been planning to find time to talk things out with Xiaomu, readily agreed. With the medium of music, she could definitely continue to be good friends with Xiaomu even if she rejected him.

"Yeah." With the heavy tangled hair on his head, Wakaba Mu nodded dazedly, and then fell into Sakuya's arms.

"Be careful, the bathroom is very slippery." Miss Sakuya didn't suspect anything and didn't react much except that her chest felt a little itchy from the pressure of Xiaomu's back.

"Sorry." Wakaba Mu said simply, and then he lay in Sakuya's arms and looked up and asked, "Sakuya, can you help me over?"

"?" Miss Xiangzi, who entered the bathtub first, wanted to get up immediately and separate the two.

"Because... my leg is injured." With his pupils tilted to the corners of his eyes, Ruo Ye Mu said briefly.

She didn't lie, she just told half the story like Xiang did.

Chapter 250: What a clever chapter title

Her hair, wetted by the mist, clung to her rosy cheeks. Nestled in the middle of the bathtub, Ichinose Sakuya exhaled hot air and slowly opened her eyes in the tranquil environment filled with steam.

Above my head were neatly arranged grid-patterned tiles, and even more dazzling was the bright incandescent light. My body temperature had long been raised to a slightly higher 37 degrees by the hot soup, and I felt nothing but relaxation and a slight dizziness. My mind seemed to have been carried to Mount Fuji along with the breeze on the mural.

Come to think of it, the last time I took a bath with my sister was in Uji.

"It seems like the last time I took a bath was a long time ago." Miss Sakuya, who still has a childlike heart, sighed and said, then she took a deep breath, half-dive into the pool, and imitated a crab by blowing bubbles out of its small mouth.

"Me too." Toyokawa Shoko hummed with satisfaction, and followed Sakuya's example by sinking as deep into the bathtub as possible, wantonly enjoying the relaxing feeling of the heat being transferred to the whole body. Maybe taking a bath can really eliminate some physical fatigue? It's a pity that the bathtub at home is a bit too small, and I can only squat in it with my knees bent, which is not as comfortable as being in the bathtub.

"......" Ruo Yemu didn't feel anything about it. He just felt that the water in the bathtub was too hot for him. However, he was reluctant to move away and go to the children's bathtub next to him which was two degrees lower in temperature.

"Xiao Mu, is the wound on your body okay?" After spitting bubbles for a while, Miss Sakuya found that no one was with her. She sat up straight again with a little embarrassment, and tilted her head to ask Wakaba Mutsu with a blushing face with a little concern.

"...It's okay, the doctor said so." Mu shook his head, denied it, and moved closer, quietly placing his hand on Sakuya's hand under the water. Although she felt a little dizzy from the heat, she inexplicably didn't want to lose to Xiang in this matter.

"You were very brave not to cry at that time, Mu-chan." Sakuya shook her hand and squeezed it before separating them. She then gently stroked her knee, which had almost recovered from the wound. "But when did Mu-chan realize that I wasn't your sister? I was the one who acted at the sports meet... there shouldn't be anything wrong with that."

Ms. Sakuya originally wanted to use the idiom "perfect" to reflect her cultural attainments and acting skills, but after all, her identity happened to be discovered by Xiaomu, so she changed to a more humble way of asking.

"..." Wakaba Mu blinked blankly, not knowing whether to tell a lie to build up Sakuya's self-confidence, or to tell her the truth. He had already noticed her identity before the sports meet. After struggling for so long, he just stared at Sakuya in silence without saying anything.

"Sakuya, there is actually a pretty obvious difference between you and...your sister. Even if you are twins, people who are familiar with you can tell them apart quickly, right?" Toyokawa Shoko glanced at the two people sitting together, and while holding onto the ridge in the pool with her hands, she floated to the side of the country girl who was crying cutely because of Xiaomu's pity, and said bluntly.

"Oh, it's obvious that mom always confuses us two. When I was a child, she even gave the wrong birthday card to me." Miss Sakuya shook her head and said confidently. She didn't believe that Xiangzi and Xiaomu had never confused her with her sister.

"Well, let's just take it as it is." Miss Xiangzi responded nonchalantly. In the past, she might have been troubled by the difficulty in distinguishing between Sakuya and Suyo. But now that she has a higher status, it is different. She can easily see through it by simply asking some simple questions. If that doesn't work, she can also make some intimate actions unique to lovers...

For example, this is the case now.

The palm of the hand touched the skin and slid along the lower abdomen, but was stopped halfway by someone with a blushing face. So he simply stopped at the soft belly and tapped it lightly with the technique of playing the piano, causing water to flow and leaving some fleeting tiny depressions.

"Speaking of which, isn't it about time for Aine-san to come in?" Toyokawa Shoko asked calmly about an irrelevant topic without changing her expression.

"Ah, well... yes, it's almost time. Xiao Mu is about to faint from soaking, right? How about staying a little longer and then going ashore to rest?" Miss Sakuya tried to glare at her hard, but found that the blue-haired keyboard player not only did not repent, but played even harder. She could only turn her head away with a red face, trying to coax the pure and innocent Wakaba Mu away first.

"...I still want to accompany Sakuya." Wakaba Mutsu, who was already in a daze, subconsciously muttered his thoughts, and his body automatically took over the offline brain and stuck to her without reservation.

So, when Nagasaki Suyo arrived at the scene, she happened to witness the magical scene of her sister being hugged by men. But in the eyes of Miss Suyo, who was too concerned, it was just the hateful blue-haired lecher and her half who launched a shameful attack on her stupid sister!

She almost tore the towel that Aine handed to her.

"Stop making trouble later. I'll take Xiaomu out first." Sakuya slapped Xiangzi's disruptive hand away in embarrassment and ruthlessly interrupted the piano performance that was only halfway through. She then helped the dizzy Wakaba Mutsu to get up, leaving the bathtub with enough water for two people.

"Mu rarely shows off her strength. Maybe she just really likes you." Miss Xiangzi also stood up soon after and supported the other side with a complicated expression.

"I don't want to either. I'll talk it through with Xiaomu next week." Sakuya stuck out her tongue playfully. She was still very confident at the moment.

"Why don't we make it clear now?" Nagasaki Suyo's voice echoed in the small space. She held a basin in her left hand and a towel in her right hand, and was followed by the useless scout Miss Aiyin. The figure standing at the entrance of the bath looked like a god of war.

It is still the strongest state of Bawang Xiajia Plus, Pro, and Max.

Ichinose Sakuya raised her body like a hamster caught by a cat.

Upon hearing this, Ruoye Mu opened his eyes in confusion, moved his little head, and compared the two identical people back and forth.

Even Toyokawa Shoko closed her eyes in embarrassment because of the sudden arrest, and began to reflect on whether she had gone too far.

As for Chihaya Aine, she was waiting at the door with a dry towel in her hand, feeling lucky that little Su Shi didn't take her anger out on her poor arm.

"You two have gone too far. You actually touched Sakuya... Anyway, please explain it clearly!" Facing everyone's gaze, with a firm face, Nagasaki Motoyo, who was in a state of rage, asked.

The atmosphere was quiet for a few seconds, until Miss Su Shi blushed, and someone couldn't help but speak up to break the silence.

"That's it? Little Su Shi is too lame~"

Chapter 251: Little Su Shi is too lame

Ichinose Sakuya found Chihaya Aine in an inconspicuous corner at the innermost part of the bath. The latter's back was pressed against the wall of the bathtub, with her shoulders lowered and her head drooped. Her unwrapped hair drooped, covering half of her slightly haggard face. She muttered regretfully, "I'm so stupid, really..." and other regretful lines.

The silence was like turning into white ash, and for a moment Miss Sakuya was afraid to disturb it.

But no matter what, Xiao Aiyin was used as a punching bag by her sister because of her anger. Her injury helped to ease the awkward atmosphere, so she should be more or less thanked and comforted.

Miss Sakuya slowly stepped forward, entered the bathtub again from the edge and tapped it gently. Miss Aine, who was in a state of regret and secret satisfaction, shivered immediately, raised her head hastily, and with too much force, a small splash of water was created, and turned to look at the flaxen-haired girl.

Although I regretted the interruption just now, the sight of little Su Shi with a red face hitting someone with a force that didn't even hurt was really cute.

"......Suyo-chan?" Chihaya Aine was in a daze for a second or two. After seeing the girl's face clearly, she shrank her body unconsciously and sank her shoulders into the pool.

Ms. Sakuya was slightly amused, and shook her head like Mu, pointing at the light blue scarf on her head before calmly sitting next to him and saying, "Aine-chan's hair isn't tied up properly, it's about to fall into the pool."

"Is everything settled?" Miss Aiyin adjusted her hair in confusion, wondering why Miss Motoyo, who was angry just now, became so easy to talk to now.

Miss Aine thought quickly and easily associated it with the other party's shy personality and awkward way of expressing affection, so the current closeness and sudden nickname must be the so-called compensation, right?

The girl sat very close, close enough for Chihaya Aine's little hand to develop its own consciousness.

"Shoko quickly packed up and went to the front desk with Asahiri-senpai to discuss part-time jobs and band matters. Xiaomu is still a little dizzy, so she changed into a yukata and rested in the lounge area..." Miss Sakuya counted on her fingers and suddenly stopped talking. She looked strangely at Xiao Aine who was pressing the back of her neck with her hands, thinking that she was just showing off her skillful massage skills.

Chihaya Aine withdrew her fingers with random thoughts and felt the same puzzlement. It was obvious that when they were in the Astronomy Club before, as long as she pressed this place lightly, Su Shi would collapse all over. Could it be that the light blue headscarf on her head was actually a weakness insurance in Pokémon?

"......My sister is taking care of Xiao Mu. Even though she said something fierce, she still went to buy five servings of hot milk with a reluctant look on her face. Their relationship has finally gotten a little better." Ms. Sakuya counted to the third finger without noticing, chuckled, turned around, and met the gaze of the pink-haired guitarist with sweat on his forehead.

“......Sister?” Miss Aine muttered belatedly, as if she had heard a spell. The flaxen-haired girl beside her didn’t seem to be the one she thought she was, and her little hand had already reached out from behind someone, hanging awkwardly in the water, in a dilemma.

“Oh, thank you so much, Aine. I don’t know what I would do if my sister and Shoko started arguing.” Ms. Sakuya smiled and stood on tiptoe, gently pushing the edge of the platform with both hands, intending to sit down against the wall like Aine.

“It’s nothing. I’m glad Sakuya didn’t blame me for tipping off…” Miss Aine looked up at the ceiling, trying to ignore the warm touch on her arm and the girl’s gentle eyes that were filled with doubt and aloofness.

“What’s this, Aine?” Miss Sakuya lowered her head, looked through the water at the slender hands that automatically climbed onto her waist, and asked in confusion.

“Well, this is because I’ve been practicing guitar too much recently!” Miss Aine struggled for two or three seconds before finally regaining control of her left hand. She quickly pulled her hand back and explained loudly, “I wanted to relax my arm, but I subconsciously made the guitar playing gesture, and then I happened to touch Sakuya-chan, so I subconsciously hugged her…”

“Ah, this… I see. That must have been hard work.” Sakuya read it, shifting his hips to a safer distance so that he could meet the eyes of the unexpectedly bold Aine.

Having mistaken the two sisters, Chihaya Aine embarrassedly dived underwater, revealing only half of her head to look into the pair of clear gray-blue eyes. However, her left hand, which she used to play the piano, unconsciously pinched it, automatically comparing the difference in the feel of the two sisters, and even producing a strange feeling that shouldn't have occurred.

"Actually, there's nothing wrong with normal physical contact between friends. At least that's how I feel." Ms. Sakuya said, pulling her hair by her ear and tilting her eyes.

“… Well, I’m not a virgin. At worst, I can just let him touch me back.” Miss Aine agreed guiltily, her toes already tensed, digging hard on the tiles at the bottom of the bathtub.

“But I’m a little bothered by this, so, Aine-chan, when you’re with me, don’t do what you did just now… accidentally mistaking someone for a guitar.” After wrapping her hair around her fingers a few times, Sakuya-san finally finished her warning and stood up to leave.

“Um, wait a minute.” Miss Aine also stood up from the pool, walked to Sakuya in two or three steps, and asked with a blushing face. “Sakuya, do you want to touch it back?”

"Eh?" Sakuya was confused.

"I'm quite confident about my figure!" Chihaya Aiyin, who just wanted to prove that she was not a virgin, put her hands on her hips and felt inexplicably proud.

“Is that not necessary?!” Miss Sakuya looked behind Aine in horror and took two steps back. She never expected that little Aine was such a carnivore.

"Sakuya said it herself, this is just normal physical contact between friends." Chihaya Aine looked serious, and began to reflect on why she could attack Suzuyo-chan naturally, but treated Sakuya-chan and Deng-chan differently. This was totally wrong, as her relationship with them should be equally close.

"She said it's not necessary!" Nagasaki Motoyo, who came to relieve her, hit the shameless pink-haired lecher with a plastic basin with a dark face, venting all the remaining anger and frustration in her heart. Sure enough, she was too gentle just now, and this guy actually started to set his sights on Sakuya.

“Stop hitting me!” Miss Aine ran to the middle of the bath. “Why are you hitting me alone?”

"Guess how long I've been listening just now?" Su Shi stepped slowly into the pool with a smile on his face, stretching out his five fingers and then clenching them into a fist.

"How long?" Miss Aine asked stupidly.

"Let's start with guitar practice." Nagasaki Suyo answered calmly and kindly.

All the words have been said, and the basin will be unsheathed.

As for Miss Sakuya who was watching from the side, she rarely stood in front of her sister. She just silently gave her a look that wished her good luck, and walked out of the bathroom naturally.

She had only finished half of her bottle of milk.

Chapter 252: What about me?

The time has come.

RiNG, practice room 301.

In the recording studio that seemed too spacious because there was only one person, Yutenji Wakamugi came to this conclusion with great confidence.

She was checking her YouTube profile as usual, but suddenly she felt the wonderful feeling that is unique to creators: her mission is about to be accomplished.

【NyaAki】This new series is very effective in attracting fans. The program effect of the country girl who always has accidents in every episode, combined with the fan traffic of Sanjiao Chuhua, has allowed Miao Mengqin's personal channel to achieve a phased achievement of 700,000 fans in just two months.

Although there is still a long way to go before I can become a top-notch blogger, fortunately, my target users are clear, with female audiences aged 15-18 accounting for the majority of my fans. If I continue at this pace, not to mention paying off the Ferrari Roma loan in advance, it will be more than enough for me to start my big girl era!

The next step was to use the holographic projection that the Toyokawa family had just put into production to produce an MV. With the help of publicity and promotion, it soared to the top of the popularity list. Then it immediately released a post to usher in its own golden age, and won over Xiao Qiuhui in one fell swoop.

Miss Ruomai had a very beautiful idea, so she crossed her legs and laughed foolishly. She was actually a person who easily got carried away by success. In the past, she might have admitted that Qiu Hui's evaluation was "high expectations but low skills", but now that she had achieved great success, the purple-haired passerby lady was not surprised and thought that this evaluation was biased and that she was clearly greedy.

"What are you thinking about, Meow Meng-senpai? Your smile is a little... not very elegant." Ms. Sakuya, carrying a bass bag, pushed the door open and tried to change her words to be less rude. She looked up and looked around, making sure that Xiao Chuhua was not lying in ambush in the room before she took out the GB-4 to tune the strings and wait.

Miao Meng stopped talking, subconsciously touched her mouth, and asked without thinking, "What do you mean by not very elegant?"

"It means disgusting." Sakuya answered without turning her head. After spending so long together, even Miss Sakuya, who was always respectful to her teachers, could not respect Meow Mengqin.

"Hey, I'm still the captain of [NyaAki] for now. Shouldn't the bassist lady give me some basic respect?" Miao Meng asked in a shocked voice. She had the urge to send Sakiko to the water dispenser to serve tea and water, but after thinking about the bass composition of the band, she lowered her request sincerely.

"That's... a bit disgusting? It feels like it's filled with the despicable desires of society." Sakuya looked up and said ruthlessly, and changed the subject before a certain big cat started to wave its cat fists, and said seriously. "Akie-senpai didn't come with you today?"

Yutenji Wakamugi had to hold back his intention to show off his authority as a senior, and for the sake of the honorific, he sat back on his small round stool, holding his chin with one hand and complaining. "Aki-e seems to be helping her sister recently, contacting some Sunset Red band, which has nothing to do with us anyway. I think we should enjoy life at our age, and going to work early won't do us any good..."

"Stop, stop, stop. So Senior Akiie isn't coming today?" Miss Sakuya, who had actively filtered out irrelevant information, raised her hand to interrupt Meow Mengqin's chanting and asked again.

"She's just like Hatsuko, waiting for us at the MV studio." Miao Mengqin felt bored with the answer, and then became suspicious again, narrowing her eyes and asking back. "Could it be that Sakiko didn't read the message and just habitually punched in for work according to the previous schedule?"

"Is there anything else?" Miss Sakuya tilted her head in realization, and took out her phone to look through her chat messages in front of the purple-haired drummer. She got home too late yesterday, and had to deal with her sister's torture and nagging, so she didn't have the time to carefully check the Line messages that didn't have much priority. She even just replied to Mio with a simple goodnight.

"Don't look, it's too late, kukuku~ Sakiko brought this upon herself." Miss Meow Meng jumped up on the spot and let out the standard three-part weird laugh of a cannon fodder villain, then walked around to Miss Sakiya and looked at her carefully.

"If you keep looking at me like that, Meow Meng-senpai, I will complain to Akiie-senpai." Miss Sakuya continued to scroll through the messages. She took a moment to glance at the mischievous purple-haired female passerby before continuing to read this long message full of Miss Meow Meng's personal style.

It's messy and I don't have a plan. I just write whatever comes to my mind. But in general, the practice plan on Sunday was changed to the shooting of [NyaAki]'s first MV. The location is Enoshima Beach in Kanagawa Prefecture, an hour's drive from Tokyo. I also specifically asked them to bring their own swimsuits and ask for half a day off from school...

"Why do you want to ask for leave?" Miss Sakuya tilted her head in confusion, not quite understanding why.

"Of course it's because we have to stay overnight." Miao Mengqin replied as a matter of course. "RiNG's staff can't help us load the drums and keyboards into the car until eight in the morning. After shooting the MV, it's not suitable to rush back to Tokyo. Why not just take a half-day break and skip class openly? How great is that?"

"But I haven't prepared anything." Ms. Sakuya's head was buzzing, and she didn't know who to send the message to first when holding her phone.

"I sent the message on Friday and specifically @ed Sakiko." Miss Ruomai was already thinking about what kind of swimsuit to prepare for the country girl. It was a pity that the camera was not turned on, otherwise this footage would have been cut at the beginning of the video and it would have gotten more playback time.

"Although I was also wrong..." Sakuya felt sorry, but still took the initiative to send a Line message to her sister that she would not be going home that night. "But Meow Meng-senpai should bear the main responsibility."

"Why are you blaming me again?" Miao Meng was unconvinced.

"It's you who chat with me in the group every day and complain at the same time, but you never send any useful information." Sakuya said in annoyance, holding the vibrating phone.
