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

"Let's be together for life."

Sakuya swore that she would never eat sugar cubes again. They were too sweet, so sweet that it made her sad.

Chapter 87: Good Friends for Life

Another two or three minutes passed, and Ichinose Sakuya's tongue was finally freed from the numb sweetness. After finishing her own cup, Sakuya very naturally exchanged the empty cup with the lemonade in front of her sister and continued to sip it.

The experience just now was too painful. The inexplicable gravity made my whole body tremble, and even the neat lattice blinds became wrinkled.

After casting a grateful look at the great waitress, Ms. Riki, Ms. Sakuya, who wanted to go back to Lenna's table, was tied up by the pink and brown left and right generals with physical and mental shackles, and was locked to the bench in a very miserable way.

Miss Sakuya cast a longing look towards Rakuna, because that was the past she could never go back to.

She stared at Lenai, but found that Miss Lenai was also staring at her table seriously.

The tender palm, half of which was swallowed by the long sleeve, firmly anchored the long-handled ladle, as if it had just finished eating a mouthful of parfait. The cat licked the tip of the spoon carefully, and then held it in its mouth, with its pupils wide open, like a prairie cheetah that had discovered its prey and was lurking carefully.

Although little Le Nai was looking very seriously, her childish face still made people unconsciously think she was cute.

Woohoo~ Lenai-chan, I want to trade with you.

Miss Sakuya cried in her heart, and made up her mind that after she was done here, she would go and fight with the cat for Buffy's food.

"Xiao Deng, the life you mentioned before is..." Miss Su Shi's tone was unusually shocked, and she even ignored Sakuya's legitimate request to change the water.

"Yeah." As the setting sun in the afternoon fell on her face, a hint of holy epic color appeared on Takamatsu Deng's face. Her eyes were slightly focused, and her amber eyes took in everyone, revealing a firm expression that Sakuya had never seen on Deng's face before.

"I don't want to be like that anymore. This time, we must be together for the rest of our lives." Gao Songdeng looked at everyone, his tone firm, almost like an oath.

It's as if Xiao Deng suddenly gained faith, Sakuya thought.

"I swear." Ms. Lixi almost put her hands on her chest. "I am willing to be with the lamp for the rest of my life."

“Eh?” Miss Aine was slightly stunned.

"Then I'll swear too." Miss Su Shi held her left hand out and raised it slightly, her tone gentle.

“Eh!?” Miss Aine retreated tactically.

Miss Sakuya's gray-blue pupils widened a little, and she looked at Li Xi and her sister carefully.

Knowing that my sister and Lixi are both girls, Xiaodeng, a little animal who knows nothing and tells people every day that he likes her, is not a girl but is better than a girl...

"Hiss..." Miss Sakuya took a sip of lemonade and felt the ice cubes crackling against her teeth.

Isn't this really some mysterious ritual unique to Tokyo girls?

“Wait…wait a minute!” Miss Aine pressed down her left hand, which had nowhere to go, and made a 1 sign with her right hand, shaking it left and right. “That’s a lifetime, a lifetime.”

"What?" Ms. Lixi switched back to her irritable waitress personality and glared at the evil pink-haired girl who suddenly interrupted her and Deng's heartfelt conversation.

“Do you know the average life expectancy? It is said that when we become grandmothers, we will all be 90 years old.” Miss Aine turned 1 into 9, showing her majesty as the third prize winner of the kindergarten’s hand calculation competition.

“No one knows what will happen in life. Will you continue to play the drums even if you become an old lady?” Miss Aine put one hand on her waist and glared down at the black-haired waiter who had no talent or morals.

"Keep playing!" Ms. Lixi is full of heroic spirit and seems to be ready to beat drums and gongs for the rest of her life.

Ms. Sakuya's developed brain worked on its own. She imagined Riki wearing a large cotton-padded jacket with red flowers, performing super-fast rock music with a BPM of over 220 on the stage. She couldn't help but chuckle.

“Look, look, Sakuya thinks so too,” Aine-san tried to win over the only normal person.

“Pfft… sorry.” Sakuya leaned on the table and covered her mouth.

"What's so funny?" Ms. Lixi's pretty face turned slightly red. She sighed lightly and said nothing.

“It’s okay, Aine-san, there’s no need to push yourself too hard.” Su Shi said soothingly in a soft voice, trying to smooth things over. Aine was of no use to him for the time being anyway.

Perhaps because she had laughed enough, Ms. Sakuya raised her head again and looked at Chihaya Aine, who was not yet a virgin, with a little apology and pity.

Then he turned his head and his eyes fell on his sister's natural smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

I still feel a little dark...

But this is also my sister's side.

Another moment passed.

Sakuya-san put down the half-drunk lemonade in her hand with a smile, and sighed. "I may not be able to promise to form a band with you all for the rest of my life."

"Sakuya..." Deng felt a little lost.

"But..." Sakuya imitated her sister's action and raised her left hand, with her five white fingers pressed together and straightened. "I can swear..."

“I will be good friends with you all for life.”

Sakuya's oath was not loud.

But it was enough to shock the five people present for a moment.

Ms. Sakuya felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, her face slightly reddened, she retracted her hands, and twirled her flaxen hair. "You don't have to look at me like that, I'm a supporting musician after all, it's fine if you come once or twice a week."

Ms. Sakuya is a little worried about her sexual orientation.

But...it shouldn't be a big problem to play together with my sisters once in a while, right?

Can women be infected through ensemble music?

The air began to flow again, and I could almost hear the cat's humming.

“Sakuya-chan is so amazing...but it will only last a lifetime.” Miss Aine was in a dilemma.

“Little Aine…” Deng blinked his lively eyes and looked up at Aine.

“Ah~ I get it, I get it. Anyway, let’s set a short-term goal and start with a week.” Sign language master Miss Aine continued her performance.

Gao Songdeng's head drooped limply, like a desk lamp that had lost power.

“Um…” Miss Aine gestured with her other hand. “Then one month.”

The head of the lamp drooped even lower, and began to emit a subtle gloomy aura.

“How about we just wait until the Live is over?” Miss Aine spread her hands. ┓( O^O)┏.

"I'm just like Kosakuya. I don't know if I can form a band for life. So let's just aim for a concert first. Let's all give it a try, okay?" While she was talking about everyone, Miss Aine's light grey eyes were focused on the little Takamatsu animal who had raised his head again.

Mr. Takamatsu stared at Aine's face for a while, and then whispered, "Then...you must not break the contract before the first Live."

"Xiao Deng, every time you speak, it's so heavy..."

"Do you have any objection? Deng said that we want to form this group for life, and that's for life..." Ms. Lixi found the right time to start the battle.

Sakuya and her sister looked at each other and chuckled at the same time.

Young and confused, with no goals and no direction, but as long as you take a step forward, you will always find the road paved by your dreams, which is shining and exciting.

Asking Lenai to look away, he scooped another spoonful of Buffy and put it into the cat's mouth.

"Interesting women...."

Chapter 88: The Very Popular Ms. Sakuya

Roppongi, Nagasaki home.

My sister is probably asleep by this time.

Ichinose Sakuya, who had just blow-dried her hair and was wearing light blue cotton pajamas, was rolling around comfortably on the soft big bed.

Japanese high school girls have long appeared in various light novels and animations. They are wise and intelligent. They can transform into magical girls to protect the entire universe, or save the world by playing cards. If all else fails, they can hold a tennis racket and make it all the way to the national competition. Of course, Miss Sakuya still likes the relaxing theme of eating cake, drinking afternoon tea and playing in a band the most.

Anyway, today Sakuya-san was just like the high school girls in anime—she didn’t study much.

After gurgling around twice, Ms. Sakuya successfully flipped over to the side with the charging cable.

Reach out to untie the wire, align the phone, and the Type-C interface completes the docking accurately.

Luckily, the battery level was almost below 20%.

After seeing the small lightning symbol representing "Charging" appear on the yellowed battery level of her mobile phone, Ms. Sakuya breathed a sigh of relief and opened the Line icon with a small red dot.

It was sent by Akiyama Mio.

[Mio]: “I can’t write the lyrics…”

[Mio pokes you]

[Mio]: “I’ve been listening to Eagles songs again recently to look for inspiration, but I always feel like the style doesn’t quite match.”

Ms. Sakuya could almost imagine the cute scene of Mio wearing headphones and poking the white paper with a pen, so she sent a cat emoticon package first.

[Konohana Sakuya]: "Why did Mio suddenly want to write lyrics?"

[Mio]: "I've been a little too relaxed in the light music club lately, and Teacher Sawako suggested that we prepare songs for the school festival in advance. I thought it would be better to have my own original songs..."

[Konohana Sakuya]: "Great composer~"

[Konohana Sakuya]: "How about trying to find some inspiration from those around you? After all, this is a song for the light music club."

[Mio]: "That's true. Forcing music to be something like that might be a little too difficult for Yui."

[Mio]: "How was your day, Sakuya-chan?"

[Konohana Sakuya]: "Today... I'm just really tired..."

Her shoulders felt a little numb, so Ms. Sakuya simply lay on the bed and propped herself up.

[Mio]: "Heavy workload?"

Mio Akiyama tilted her head, took off the headphones that were playing the album, stretched, and then moved to the bed with her phone.

[Konohana Sakuya]: "It's more about interpersonal communication, although fighting with cats in the afternoon was pretty tiring."

[Mio]: "Got a cat?"

[Konohana Sakuya]: "Stray cat."

[Mio]: "Be careful not to get scratched."

[Konohana Sakuya]: “It’s not that intense…”

After chatting for a while and ending with good night, Ms. Sakuya lay on her back and was about to turn off the phone.

[Meow Mengqin sent you a shaking window]

[Meow Dreams]: "We have a practice appointment tomorrow, Sakiko, don't forget it~"

[Meow Dream Qin]: "And Meow Dream Qin stayed up late yesterday to edit the latest masterpiece, Sakiko will definitely like it."

Ignoring the love emoticon package that Miao Meng sent behind, Miss Sakuya's slender hand slid down and landed on the blue link that jumped automatically.

The video plays automatically, and it seems to be your solo performance?

Ms. Sakuya smiled foolishly, thinking that Meow Mengqin, who exploited herself every day during performance, still had a human side.

But why is there no sound in this BGM?

"Hey, why is my bass silent?" A slightly unfamiliar voice was heard, and the scene changed to a little country girl with long flaxen hair and wearing a school uniform, lowering her head to adjust the loudspeaker.

Ms. Sakuya's silly smile suddenly paused, and the dark memories that she had sealed away came to her mind. Senior Sister Wakamai...you are definitely not the kind of dark blogger who casually reveals the dark history of members just for the sake of video views!

The video continued to play, and the clear-minded girl, who suspected that the loudspeaker was broken, lowered her head to the speaker and played the bass...

The scene was so tragic that Ms. Sakuya pressed the pause button in time, slid her thumb across the home button, and then cleared the background.

How could there be a bad guy who would edit a collection of his own stupid behavior?

Reopen Line.

[Bad Meow]: "How is it, the special effects and beauty effects are pretty good..."

Someone named Yutenji was still chattering away, but Sakuya thought she was just being noisy. She clicked the Do Not Disturb button on the messages and tapped away quickly.

[Konohana Sakuya]: "Three thirty, 301, I didn't forget, good night."

After banishing the purple-haired female passerby to the cold palace, Miss Sakuya felt a little relieved. She will definitely put a lot of pressure on the passerby drummer tomorrow.

She scrolled back to the top of the page and skillfully sent a good night + emoticon combination to [Customer Service S], then Ms. Sakuya pressed the power off button.

I didn't sleep well yesterday, so I need to make up for it today...

The LCD screen lit up dimly, vibrating and sounding Line's default ringtone.

The grey-blue eyes reluctantly opened, it was Aine-san.

"What's the matter so late?" Sakuya turned on the speakerphone and threw the phone on the pillow.
