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

"There's no need to be so serious... Although I'm a little angry, this is also Meow Mengqin's job. Just inform me in advance next time."

"Sakiko, you're such a nice person." Is this going to be a kiss again for Miao Meng? Miao Meng sighed, of course she still has to lie.

The camera at hand faithfully recorded the precious scene of the little country girl sticking to the big star. What I lack in playback volume, I might as well make up for it with the ambiguous interaction between Hatsuko and Sakiko...

"Hehe~ Thank you, Senior Akiie." Miss Sakuya always knows how to grasp the key points.

"It's okay, it was Wakamugi's fault in the first place, but Sakuya, I have something else to tell you." Miss Akie pushed her glasses up, turned her wrist slightly, and took out a folded club membership registration form out of thin air.

"What's the matter?" Sakuya opened his eyes wide in confusion, and was even more confused about where Senior Akie had hidden the paper before.

"This is the club registration information for the Astronomy Club. According to the rules of Yugaoka, this is against the rules. Normally, I should go to Takamatsu-san and give him a notice to disband the club." Akie paused, handed the paper to the confused Miss Sakuya, and began to wonder if she had found the wrong person.

"Eh? Useless!" Sakuya exclaimed in a low voice.

"According to Yuqiu's rules." Akie repeated.

"Sister Akie, you must have a way." Ms. Sakuya adjusted the moisture in her eyes and blinked hard at the deputy discipline committee member who had connections everywhere.

"You don't have to beg me, actually. The fact that the Astronomy Club is still here and even has its own activity room is all thanks to President Yuze." Lady Akie leaned back slightly, unable to bear the pitiful look of the girl, and turned her head away. "Rather, I'm the one who's looking for trouble."

“Ah…ah?”

"Although it's a bit sudden, please Sakuya-san gather four club members before the club funds are distributed next week, and of course, the instructor, so that I can help you fill in the missing procedures." Miss Akie said, suppressing the reluctance in her heart.

"Ha, that's it!" Someone said with great confidence.

Chapter 91 I have a plan to lure her up the mountain

The sky began to darken, and it was time to go home for dinner.

There is good news and bad news for Ms. Sakuya today.

The good news is that I don’t have to go home for dinner blind boxes. It’s like Russian roulette. Every dinner is a test. My sister always likes to prepare vegetable minestrone soup that makes people instinctively dread one or two days a week.

The taste is not bad, but I am really tired of it.

The bad news is that today there is not even a blind box to choose from, so I can only find time to use meal replacements to fool my hungry stomach.

Miss Sakuya, who had completely forgotten that she had to perform at Starry in the evening and had no time to eat, ran to the practice room next door with a nut energy bar sponsored by Sankaku Hatsuka in her mouth.

Xiao Chuhua was obviously in a hurry to record the program, but he still gave half of his remaining food rations to himself. I was so touched.

I always feel like I owe Chuhua more and more...

The slightly heavy mood lasted for about three seconds before being interrupted by the fresh cry of the taste buds.

The hard and firm energy bar slowly spreads out, with the top note being the light sweetness of honey, followed by the natural fragrance of fruits and the crispy aroma of grains. The bar, which is mainly made of nuts and dried fruits, has a slightly rough texture, but can give people a sufficient sense of fullness, so it can be considered a healthy food when rounded off.

The taste was unexpectedly good, and Miss Sakuya planned to stockpile some for the next minestrone soup torture.

Pushing the door open, it seemed that Sakuya had arrived a little early. The pink-haired guitarist wearing the Haneda school uniform was the only one in the room. Chihaya Aine was standing in front of the mirror, admiring her bright figure with a guitar on her shoulder with contentment.

"Excuse me~" Sakuya whispered.

No one responded. The practice room had good sound absorption. Miss Aiyin, who had already become a celebrity, was still rehearsing the stage posture of the guitar lead singer pressing down the microphone.

Sakuya, feeling slightly amused, stood on tiptoe, turned on stealth mode, and sneaked up behind Aine, preparing to attack her suddenly and startle her.

“Ah!” Aine turned around and attacked suddenly.

“Aaaah~” Miss Sakuya took three steps back and let out a series of cute trills.

“Sorry, sorry, it felt like Sakuya-chan wanted to play a game with me. Did you get scared?” Miss Aine wanted to laugh as she watched Miss Sakuya retreat to the corner.

"How did Aiyin discover my perfect stealth?" Sakuya raised his eyebrows in shock.

“Bass, it’s exposed.” Miss Aine pointed at the stage mirror that took up half of the wall in the practice room.

"GB-4 made me miss you!" Sakuya regretted, and took off the bass backpack that she had put on just a few minutes ago. "Didn't Deng come with Aine?"

"Xiao Deng and Rikki are communicating with the staff. It seems that because there is a special live performance of Afterglow today, the staff who help move the drums and amplifiers are a little too busy."

"It's really hard work." Sakuya sighed. Fortunately, the bassist didn't need to help carry the drums. "Rikki, do you mean Rikki-san?"

“Yeah, she has such a bad personality but her last name is Shiina, she is really cunning~” Miss Aine talked freely.

"Chihaya sounds nice too. And it's better not to call Riki-san Shiina."

"Mr. Sushi said the same thing. Is this the tacit understanding between twins..."

"Maybe." Ms. Sakuya put her bass on her back and the club registration form in her bag fell down lightly.

“Speaking of which, thank you so much for what happened this morning, Sakuya.” Miss Aine paused awkwardly, then mustered up the courage to continue. “Well… I was a little too excited at the time, and didn’t notice Sakuya’s emotions…”

Aine bowed slightly and stole a glance at Sakuya’s reaction.

I am so vain and I am taking advantage of Sakuya-chan, but that's a bit too much...

Miss Sakuya, who was complaining about whether today was the International Apology Day, suddenly had an idea. She was possessed by Nagasaki Suyo and half-knelt down to pick up the indenture contract she had just obtained from senior Akie.

"Sodayo~ In order to help Aine find Sumimi's autographed photo, I was almost late, and was even criticized and reprimanded by the ruthless discipline committee member." Sakuya wiped away the tears that had not yet come out, held her chest, and continued. "My heart is colder than the ice chips in the coldest days of winter."

“Eh? I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect that Sakuya-chan disliked it so much. Is there...is there anything I can do? I will definitely make it up to Sakuya.” Miss Aine panicked and approached Sakuya at a loss.

"It's too late. It's too late..." Ms. Sakuya lowered her head to look for a pen.

"I'm willing to do anything, please, Sakuya-chan, forgive me!"

“Okay, then write your name here, and give me another application for joining the company tomorrow~” Ms. Sakuya performed Sichuan opera face changing, and imitated what Ms. Aine did in the morning, and held Aine’s outstretched right hand with both hands.

“Eh? Uh——” Miss Aine said awkwardly while looking at the door.

"You said it yourself, you're willing to do anything." The little village girl, who was completely unaware of the murderous intent, put on a triumphant smile and chuckled with her head tilted.

Maybe it was because the soundproofing in the practice room was really good, or maybe she was too absorbed in the performance. Anyway, Ms. Sakuya, who had her back to the practice room door, did not notice the opening of the gate of purgatory, and naturally did not notice Nagasaki Motoyo who had teleported behind her and the drum duo who stood awkwardly at the door to guide the staff.

"Sakuya~ Girls should still maintain social distance from each other." Miss Suyo's tone was frighteningly gentle.

“I… let’s do finger exercises…” Sakuya shook off Miss Aine’s slender hand as if he had been electrocuted, his eyebrows drooping, and he was silent.

"'I'm willing to do anything' is not a very appropriate thing to say~" When it comes to torturing his own sister, Su Shi has always spared no effort.

"It's okay, it's okay. Sakuya-kun is just joking with me. Don't be angry, Motoyo-san. Your smile is so scary." Aine looked at the two sisters strangely. Motoyo-san is so strict.

I'm just mad at you, Aine-san.

Su Shi smiled kindly at the pink-haired thieving cat, said nothing, and pinched the tip of his right index finger.

"Are you guys going to practice today or not?" Ms. Lixi, who was helping the black-haired staff assemble their drum set, interrupted the boring farce with a harsh voice.

"That's true. Sakuya will have support from other bands tonight, so everyone should hurry up and practice well~" Miss Motoyo added.

He put his bass on his back and looked at his sister who was talking to Deng with his gray-blue eyes.

Nagasaki Suyo was a little unhappy.

Sakuya makes friends too quickly, and she doesn't even realize it. I should just throw her to the Moon Forest as soon as possible. No one else is taking the gardening class in the afternoon...

Anyway, neither Komu nor Sakuya will betray me, Nagasaki Motoyo thought.

Chapter 92: Cats have a unique way of recognizing people

The light green guitar was connected to a double-layer Laney amplifier, and Chihaya Aine was looking at the gesture of her left hand with a confused look on her face.

The index finger is the first string and the first fret, the middle finger is the second string and the second fret, and the ring finger should be the third string and the third fret...

The pick in the right hand slides down and touches the string, producing a crisp C chord sound.

Miss Aine chuckled and smiled with narrowed eyes, enjoying the non-existent admiring gaze. "How is it? My C chord?"

As expected of me, even though I haven't touched the guitar for half a year, my technique is still as skillful as ever, and my proficiency in chords is exactly the same as before.

"That's amazing." It was the first time that Gao Songdeng saw someone play a C chord for him, and he sighed softly.

"How amazing." It was the first time that Ichinose Sakuya saw someone confidently perform a C chord for others, and she exclaimed softly.

"Is there anything else you can play?" Miss Su Shi's playing sounded a little forced.

"G chord or A minor is fine, and F chord too!"

Even the most difficult chords that are known as the rookie killer and span several string positions and frets are no problem for Xiao Ain!

"Let me take a look..."

Ms. Aiyin lowered the guitar neck with her left thumb and moved three fingers slightly, pressing on the corresponding points.

How are the strength and angle distributed? Never mind. The C chord just now was played successfully, and the F chord will probably be the same.

The pick drew an elegant arc, and the girl's confident smile paused slightly.

Strange, why is this guitar silent? It's almost as dull as a bass...

"No way...that's just a chord?" Ms. Lixi, who was standing next to the drum set, was embarrassed and closed her eyes without watching.

“This is really difficult~” Miss Aine complained, her tone jumping slightly. “The guitar starts and ends with the chord, although you, a drummer, probably wouldn’t understand.”

"Alas..." Li Xi sighed.

“It’s okay, Aine-chan. It’s already impressive that you can play the C chord. We just need to practice hard together later.” Ms. Sakuya consoled her.

"I think so too, it's amazing." Gao Songdeng might really think it's amazing.

“Right, my guitar skills should be pretty good~” Miss Aine was full of confidence. The guitarist in the light music club of Kosakuya’s junior high school classmate didn’t even know what a guitar was, so she should be able to rank above average with just one chord, right?

"Deng, and Sakuya, you are too lenient with her." Miss Li Xi was indignant. Why could this naturally evil pink-haired guy be so confident? What's the difference between knowing the chords on the guitar and claiming that he can study in the UK when he only knows the 26 letters of the English alphabet? He's not even inferior!

"Anyway, let's find some songs we can play first, like cover songs or something." Miss Su Shi changed the subject. Aine's guitar skills were indeed beyond her expectations, but...isn't this better?

"'Haruhi Shadow' will be fine." Li Xi said coldly.

Three soft shouts were heard from the crowd, but Miss Sakuya never seemed to care.

Gao Songdeng blinked, slightly surprised.

“I’ve only heard that song once.” Miss Aine disagreed.

"But..." Kasuga Shadow is a song by Crychic. Sushi hesitated.

"What? Are you worried about that guy?" Ms. Lixi raised her eyebrows slightly and her eyes were sharp.

She first glared at the flaxen-haired girl, then turned to the flaxen-haired girl and continued glaring.

He has not yet settled the score with Sakuya for Xiangzi's neglect of Deng.

Ms. Sakuya tilted her head in confusion, and as she felt tired of standing, she walked back to the lamp and sat down.

It’s great that my sister’s band has this style. I feel like we can chat for an hour, so I can save my energy to prepare for the live performance in the evening.

Miss Su Shi rolled her eyes. Her sister had a close relationship with Xiangzi, so she could probably be won over.

"What do you think, Sakuya?"

"Huh?" Ms. Sakuya took off her bass, laid it flat on the sofa, and switched to slacking off. "I can do anything, as long as I have the sheet music."

Ms. Motoyo seemed to have forgotten that she had never mentioned "Haruhi Shadow" to Sakuya.

The slacking bassist had neither read Takamatsu Deng's diary nor heard any memories of the past from the blue-haired little hedgehog. At most, she glanced at the group photo on the SNS account and left a comment "It was so nice" after listening to the rehearsal. Naturally, her head was empty at this time and she did not get her sister's hint at all.

"I don't have any other songs I can sing..." Takamatsu Deng folded his hands under his abdomen, hesitantly clenched them, and the dark force field of hesitation instantly drowned the support musicians who were sitting nearby and playing dirty.

If the lamp speaks, Lixi will do it, just like a knight guarding the princess, just at the command.

She half-knelt down, took out a dark blue tablet, and handed the music score to Sakuya.

"Is it okay?" Li Xi asked.

Sakuya placed her finger on the screen and slowly scrolled down to the bottom.

The bass part is not complicated, it is more like an embellishment of the keyboard, the notes leap up spontaneously and rejoice in the mind.

This is a love letter to the keyboard.

“No problem.” Sakuya put the shoulder strap back on.

The door opened, and this time the sound was so loud that the five people saluted in unison.

It's cool to be Lena.

The steady steps of black leather boots on the waxed, shiny wooden floor and the sound of the pulleys rolling on the ground brought silence.

Rakuna's yellow-blue heterochromatic eyes were fixed on Deng. His young gaze swung back and forth between Suyo and Sakuya, then turned back to the cowering Deng Takamatsu.

"Don't you want to play together?" a childish voice sounded.
