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

Sakuya was boredly looking at the lemonade in her hand, her eyes moving from left to right. Aine's social skills were indeed very strong, and her sister also made new friends. The sound of the automatic door rang, followed by the friction sound of the rollers sliding across the floor. She turned her head and unexpectedly met a pair of cat eyes that she had carefully observed a few days ago.

"Do you want to play together?" Kaname Lenai looked at the woman who had been feeding him recently and asked.

"Eh? Now?" Miss Sakuya tilted her head, not understanding what the cat was trying to do.

"Forget it then." Lenai obviously didn't care. Dragging his guitar and a loose T-shirt that exposed one shoulder, he turned around and ordered Miss Saaya to help him connect the external microphone.

Miss Su Shi relaxed her hands that were tightly holding the menu a little. Uji's experience made her have a much worse impression of stray cats, but today, she saw that this child was still quite naive.

"Excuse me, can we order?"

"Okay~ Lixi, please come to the outside field for a moment." Miss Sa Ling fell into deep thought as she looked at the suddenly chaotic connection board. It was not like this last time. Who arranged the wires so messily?

Shiina Riki was obviously stunned when he saw the strange combination of three people, but he still took out his shorthand board professionally.

"This guy..." Aiyin holds a grudge.jpg

"What happened?" Miss Sakuya asked in confusion.

Ms. Riki glanced at the naturally evil pink-haired high school student with an unhappy look, standing next to Sakuya. "What would you like to order?"

"My words remain the same." Miss Su Shi showed the leeway of a regular customer.

"Huh?" Ms. Lixi, who was basically only responsible for the backstage, seemed to disagree.

“What’s the old style?” Aine asked.

"Hot Earl Grey tea~"

"Great, I want the same."

"Tsk." Li Xi turned his head and wrote down the order expressionlessly.

“Wow, she clicked her tongue.” Miss Aine, who had someone to back her up, stood up all of a sudden.

"This is very uncultured..." Miss Su Shi, who was in charge of supporting, spoke softly.

"Sakuya, what about you?" Ms. Lixi's voice was a little loud, as if she was deliberately trying to overpower Su Shi.

Ms. Sakuya, who was enjoying herself, was called upon to answer a question. She sat up straight and answered in a loud voice, just like she would in class. "Here!"

After a strange silence, Ms. Sakuya spoke shyly under the gaze of three pairs of eyes. "Yesterday's coffee was good, it was made by Riki..."

"Two cups of hot Earl Grey tea and mocha coffee with milk." Ms. Lixi's voice did not change much, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously rose slightly. Without stopping, she walked straight to the kitchen.

“Eh? Is she someone you know, Sakuya-chan?” Miss Aine was shocked. Did she say something bad in front of someone else’s friends again?

"Ah, not really. Li Xi's service attitude is not very good, but her cooking skills are still good." Miss Sakuya's eyes wandered, and her fingers unconsciously tangled in her flaxen hair. My sister shouldn't find it strange...

"Sakuya, you really do have a lot of acquaintances." Miss Suyo looked calm, her hands naturally folded and clasped together under the table.

Lixi, Lenai, and the girl I just met downstairs...

“Ah! Speaking of which, Aine is looking for band members, right?” Ms. Sakuya abruptly changed the subject.

"Yes, but I have taken a look at the promotional posters, but none of them have the recruitment conditions I'm looking for." Miss Aine was a little disappointed. She couldn't find any teammates to form a band. How could she reach the top of Yuqiu if this continued?

"Do you want to search on SNS? There are also people recruiting there." Miss Su Shi also took over the conversation.

"Mr. Sushi knows so much."

"Because I used to be in a band." Su Shi said softly.

"What a pity it exploded," Sakuya-san grumbled in her mind.

"It's a bit surprising that students from Tsuki no Mori would play in a band." Aine really hadn't thought that the ladies from Tsuki no Mori would form a band. Would the effect pedals be made of gold? Or inlaid with diamonds?

"It's not particularly rare. I was invited to participate by a friend."

"Oh, that's great. I want to be the lead singer and guitarist, but unfortunately everyone seems to have already formed a band, and I can't fit in at all..." Aiyin whispered gloomily, vaguely feeling that her band career was going to fail halfway.

The conversation died prematurely before the band's career was born.

A powerful guitar strum sounded, followed by familiar vibrato and string strumming. The rare double-cut design of ESP POTBELLY allowed the string vibration to be transmitted throughout the guitar with extremely low loss, and then spread throughout the entire coffee shop through the external microphone. Yao Lenai was very happy playing today, and the performance was the same level of enjoyment as Matcha Buffy.

Chihaya Aine stared blankly at the white-haired girl with flying fingers, and her thoughts changed from "So noisy." to "So amazing..."

He blinked twice, and the light of wisdom returned to his light gray pupils.

Chihaya Aine shyly turned her head away: "If it really doesn't work, I can let someone else play the guitar..."

“But I still want to be the lead singer.”

Chapter 70: Close-up of legs with unknown meaning

Some souls are destined to be free. The lead-gray steel jungle cannot contain the natural spirituality. Even if the background sound is just the hustle and bustle of the city, the bright guitar rhythm can still light up the hearts of the audience and echo for a long time.

"Satisfied."

The passionate impromptu performance came to an end, and under Miss Sakuya's envious gaze, the automatic door opened on both sides, and Kaname Rina once again blended into the city like a cat.

That’s great, it’s a pity that I just placed the order, otherwise I could have slipped away with little Lenai.

"If it really doesn't work out, I can give the guitarist position to someone else...but I still want to be the lead singer..." Chihaya Aine's face was serious. Although there might be a little bit of vanity in her, she has made up her mind!

The red teacup fell heavily in front of the naturally evil pink-haired high school student; the sound of the cup and saucer colliding clearly expressed the black-haired waiter's dissatisfaction.

Then he gently put down the mocha coffee and even took a small cup to fill it with milk foam.

"Thank you, little Lixi." Miss Su Shi couldn't help but chuckle as she watched the pantomime in front of her and took the black tea handed to her by Lixi.

"Hmph." The unhappy lady turned and left, leaving only a look of rubbish to the pink-haired girl. Her thin eyebrows were almost erected, and her thin lips were pursed. Perhaps not cursing out loud was her greatest respect.

“What a bad attitude~” Miss Aine stared at the waitress’ back, not wanting to be outdone. She only turned back when Miss Sakuya spoke.

"Why did Aine quarrel with Riki?" Ms. Sakuya added half a cup of milk and stopped only when it was about to overflow. Her clear mind reminded herself that this matter might be related to her, but she could not find any common points between Aine and Riki.

Wait a moment.

Ms. Sakuya paused with her hand holding the coffee spoon, and a few drops of the coffee milk spilled out.

Ms. Lixi and Ms. Aine do have one thing in common besides themselves.

Aiyin finally found an opportunity to talk, and she started to complain while adding sugar cubes to her tea. "I don't know. I was talking to Xiao Deng yesterday, and she suddenly came over."

The corners of Nagasaki Suyo's mouth curled up, as if she was satisfied with the taste of Earl Grey tea. Her gray-blue eyes shone in the sunlight and were slightly narrowed.

Ichinose Sakaya's little hand holding the spoon began to twitch wildly, and the edge of the stainless steel spoon hit the wall of the cup again and again, making a series of pleasant sounds.

Ms. Aine was still adding sugar cubes. "One said "What are you doing?", the other said "Are you really friends?", and the other said "You invited Deng to join you..."...Hmm?"

The slight rubbing sensation on her calf made Aine-san stop adding the sixth sugar cube into her tea. Was it Sakuya who was secretly rubbing her with her feet from this direction?

Turning around, I saw that Miss Sakuya's face looked a little pale, with sweat on her forehead, and the light in her eyes seemed to have lost its vitality. To sum up, it was probably the revolving expression of a death row inmate before going to the execution ground.

“What’s wrong?...” Miss Aine asked in confusion.

"The lamp you are talking about is the Takamatsu lamp?" Miss Su Shi spoke softly in a rare calm tone.

“Ahaha… Sis, you heard me wrong~ Aine just said friend-chan.” The hair hanging down beside her ear was gently grabbed and slowly straightened from top to bottom, and Miss Sakuya’s smile seemed a bit forced.

“Is that so?” Sakuya-san inserted her lower leg wrapped in dark green stockings between Aine’s legs and looked in Aine’s direction before speaking with certainty.

"Yes...right." Chihaya Aine blinked her light gray eyes twice, then looked down at her feet with uncertainty.

"Are Aine-chan and Deng-chan classmates?" Miss Suyo asked casually in a normal tone, then glanced at her younger sister who had a wandering gaze, swept her round-toed leather shoes half a circle, and stepped on the only remaining foot of Miss Sakuya.

"Yes, we are in the same class..." Chihaya Aine said halfway unconsciously, and quickly covered her mouth, looking at Sakuya with some embarrassment.

"It hurts, it hurts...! Sister, I was wrong!" Miss Sakuya slid to her knees at the speed of light and quickly retracted her little feet that were transmitting the signal. With tears in the corners of her eyes, she looked at her sister pitifully.

"How could that be? Sakuya is such a well-behaved girl, how could she make a mistake?" Nagasaki Motoyo narrowed her eyes and her smile was like the warm sun in winter.

If Sakuya hadn't increased the force of her foot, she would have been more willing to believe it.

"Um... do you know each other?" Aine looked at the two sisters strangely.

Her slender fingers were intertwined, and Miss Su Shi rested her chin on her hands, slightly tilting her head to face the summer afternoon sun, her eyes full of tenderness.

"she is my friend."

“Oh…” After taking a sip of the overly sweet black tea, Miss Aine coughed twice. “That’s right. After all, Sakuya and Deng are so close. They are both members of the Astronomy Club.”

pop-

Someone might have been scalded by the coffee milk and put down the cup and saucer trembling.

Miss Sakuya tried to repeat the same trick by moving her left foot, but failed. Her long legs wrapped in black stockings showed that this was a blocked path.

“Sakuya-chan, are you okay?” Miss Aine asked with some concern.

"I'm fine." Ichinose Sakuya looked ashen and began to stare blankly at the remaining coffee in the cup.

"Aine, do you want to form a band with Xiao Deng?" Miss Su Shi raised her voice.

"Um... she rejected me." Aiyin scratched her head in embarrassment, then she remembered today's topic and asked the very kind Sushi. "By the way, Sushi said she had formed a band before, right?"

"I'm a bassist like Sakuya~" After a short pause, Nagasaki Suyo continued the topic abruptly. "Did Xiao Deng say anything?"

The air suddenly became quiet.

"Is that so?" Looking at the speechless Aiyin, Miss Su Shi nodded slightly, and her fingertips slid across the soft skin.

Aine was stunned by the inexplicable momentum, and was unable to continue the conversation for a moment. This kind of impolite behavior is a social taboo, so she sorted out her words and started again. "How is Suyo-san's bass playing?"

"It's just so-so. I practiced it during club activities."

"Well... although this may be a bit too sudden."

With her grey eyes lowered, Miss Aine encouraged herself and had made up her mind to start over. If she didn't try, she would never succeed!

Chihaya Aine raised her head again and looked directly into Suyo's eyes.

"Mr. Sushi, do you want to form a band together?"

"Sure~" Miss Su Shi said in a sweet voice. "But maybe I have to start with temporary support."

“That’s okay!” Miss Aine was already filled with love in her heart.

That’s great, LOVE Su Shi-san!

As for Ms. Sakuya, she was sending a text message asking for help.

[Konohana Sakuya]: "I'm dying, Hailing, come and save me!"

Chapter 71 Secondary Causes

That’s great, LOVE Su Shi-san!

“Can you tell me your contact information?” Aine, who had already completely fallen for her, blinked and her gaze fell on the gentle and elegant Miss Su Shi.

"Okay~" Nagasaki Suyo said in a pinched voice, fiddling with her fingers.

Ichinose Sakuya turned her head away reluctantly.

The sweeter the taste, the harder the pinch. Miss Sakuya, who had never heard her sister pinch her to this extent, mourned for Aine in her heart for three seconds before she realized that she would be the first to fall under her sister's ruthless iron hand.

Su Shi softly gave out the Line social account, then smiled at her sister and said, "Sakuya, you will come back for dinner tonight, right?

"I...well...because I still have practice..." Miss Sakuya avoided the question with tears in her eyes. Such a sister is so scary!

"I'm sorry, this lady has already been booked in advance for tonight."

She felt a warm touch on her head. Judging from the touch, she had probably been able to handle it in the past. Hachiman Kairin's emotionless words sounded like heavenly music to Miss Sakuya's ears at this moment.

"Hai Ling~" Miss Sakuya's eyes were filled with tears and she called out in a trembling but emotional voice.

I took the box off my head with both hands, and it was indeed the familiar orange-flavored milk jelly.

"Did you miss me that much?" Miss Hailing smiled playfully and leaned over to carry Sakuya's GB-4 on her back.

"Excuse me, who are you?" Miss Su Shi was still smiling, but there was a chill in her gray-blue eyes.

"Hachiman Hailing, bassist." Hailing briefly introduced herself, looked at Miss Sushi, and added, "I am also this lady's bass teacher."

"Sodayo!" Miss Sakuya nodded in agreement, her desire to run away being very obvious.

After drinking the coffee in one gulp, Sakuya-san stood up with her hands on the table and spoke at a very fast speed. "Well, sister and Aine, you two can drink slowly. I'll be leaving first!"

"Wait a minute." Nagasaki Motoyo called out to Miss Sakuya, who had already taken the first step, in a gentle tone. "Come back early after practice today. Sister will be lonely at home alone."

"Hey, Motoyo-san, you and Sakuya have a really good relationship." Chihaya Aine put down her phone and looked at the model sister who cared about her younger sister with envy.

"Dangdangdang... Of course, I..." Ms. Sakuya, who was under pressure from her elder sister, almost bit her tongue out of nervousness, and spoke halfway through with hesitation.
