Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

…Let’s not worry about that for now.

Next, I have to meet with Suyo-san to talk about "Aine's band"...

What an annoying name, it's really hard to pronounce. Speaking of which, when will this band get a name?

However, it has little to do with me. After all, I wasn’t originally a member of that band…

"Ah, Teacher Akihoko!"

After hearing the voice, Qiu Hui realized who the other person was.

It’s Miao Meng, a stage name that sounds a bit like a video blogger of one of my junior high school classmates.

She turned around, and the first thing that caught her eye was the moon-white dress that reminded her of the European classical era.

Although it is just a piece of cloth when spread out, when it is covered in the right place in the right form, it can outline full and smooth curves and lines.

Miao Meng stretched out her long legs that were revealed from the slit of her dress and almost trotted over to Qiu Hui.

"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet you here... Oh no, it's only natural that Akioko-sensei would come here to practice."

"Ms. Meow Meng... are you here for something as well?"

"Because I'm currently discussing cooperation with Sousha, I often need to come and talk about things..."

There was a faint, "unfriendly" look flickering in Miao Meng's lively eyes.

Of course she was lying. No staff from the club had invited her to discuss matters today.

She came here for one and only one purpose.

That was the calm and polite girl standing in front of her.

"I see. So, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Qiu Hui's response was polite but a little distant. The watery light in her eyes behind the lenses reflected a hint of indifference and absent-mindedness.

“Please don’t use honorifics, it always sounds scary!” Meow Meng smiled and approached Qiu Hui, “Well, because I’m a fan of yours, Miss Qiu Rongzi, and I had a good first impression of you, so I’ve been looking for an opportunity to get to know each other better…”

What the hell! This is like the opening line of a blind date!

Miao Meng was extremely nervous inside, but she still had a smile on her face.

Qiu Hui nodded and smiled politely: "I'm glad that you are interested in me. So, how about taking advantage of this chance meeting to talk about your next plans?"

"Okay! Actually, it's like this. I live alone in a rented house, but the space is actually quite large. I wonder if I can invite you to my house..."

Wait a minute! What am I talking about?

As soon as the words came out, Miao Meng regretted it.

Xiao Qiu and I have only just met for a short while... It feels weird to say this, but no matter what, it's impossible to just invite someone to go like this...

"No problem, but I have to meet a friend next. So you may have to wait for a while."

Qiu Hui's response petrified the panicked Meow Meng instantly.

Wait, she agreed?

"no problem?"

Miao Meng responded somewhat dully.

Did she really agree to this?

Chapter 31: Spending the night is such a normal thing

"Wait a minute! Miss Qiu Rongzi, won't you think about it for a moment?" Meow Meng said nervously, "Isn't it a little inappropriate?"

She is tall, slim and well-proportioned, the most outstanding type even among adults.

However, the expression on her face at this moment looked like an elementary school student who accidentally said something wrong and was busy covering it up.

"If it's just a simple visit to your house, I can't think of anything inappropriate." Qiu Hui shook her head and responded calmly, "Besides, I believe that Miss Miao Meng should be able to grasp the measure of her proposal."

She smiled politely and didn't say the second half of the sentence, but Miao Meng always felt that her eyes expressed a very clear meaning.

Qiu Hui seemed to be saying: Or, are you really planning to do something inappropriate to me?

Faced with this silent question, which might have been imagined by the nervous Miao Meng herself, she could only respond with a forced smile.

"Yes, I just wanted to invite Miss Akihoko to be my guest... It's just a normal social activity between high school students. I'm sorry for being rude. Ahahaha..."

The calmness that Miao Meng had forced herself to show before was now shattered into pieces.

However, Qiu Hui had no intention of showing concern or making fun of her. She didn't seem to care too much about Miao Meng's misbehavior.

She just calmly talked about her next arrangements: "I have an appointment with a friend later and need to discuss something. So you may have to wait for a while."

"Oh, friend, it's okay, I can wait!" Miao Meng nodded repeatedly.

"Thank you. So, do you have any reservations, Ms. Meowen?"

"Reservation?" Miao Meng opened her mouth slightly, revealing a wise look in her eyes.

"Since you specially invited me, you must have some arrangements, right?" Qiu Hui asked, her wording and tone just like a door-to-door cleaner.

"Hmm..." Miao Meng nervously tugged at the corner of her clothes.

She was just thinking about inviting Qiu Hui to her house.

This was actually just an impulse thought that came out of her head at the moment. As for the subsequent arrangements, she really hadn't thought about it.

Of course, Miao Meng didn’t think about nothing.

For example, you can let Xiao Qiu put on those clothes and do this or that... or do that or that in the bathtub together...

...But as Akie herself said, Meowmu knows her limits.

She knew that if she told all these things, she would probably be doomed!

"Uh... just, what do high school girls do when they're at their friend's house?"

Miao Meng showed a wise expression and gave an answer that was not really an answer at all.

"If it really doesn't work..." Qiu Hui said, "We can discuss it later. Miss Meow Meng, you said your house is very big?"

"Oh, that's right!" Miao Meng nodded. "Because I'm a video blogger, I need a studio for recording videos in addition to my bedroom, so I just rented a family-style apartment with three bedrooms and one living room!"

"Three-bedroom apartment?"

Qiu Hui, who had been very indifferent from the beginning, suddenly showed a hint of light in her eyes.

Miao Meng was naturally very sensitive to this sign, although he had not yet realized the reason.

"That means, in addition to Meow Meng's own room and studio, there is also a separate guest room?" Qiu Hui asked.

"Yes!" Miao Meng nodded vigorously.

"Is there a bathtub?" Akie asked.

"Yes, yes!" Miao Meng suddenly felt a chill, "But but but why do you ask such a question?"

Qiu Hui tilted her head slightly, not quite understanding why Meow Meng was so excited about this topic.

"If you don't mind... I'd like to borrow Meow Meng's bathtub." Qiu Hui lowered her head a little sadly, "Because the bathroom where I live is too small, and there is no shower room, only a small bathtub, so I basically go to the public bathhouse..."

She looked at Miao Meng expectantly: "So, if you don't mind, I really want to try the feeling of taking a bath in the bathtub."

That eager look moved Miao Meng so much that she almost shed tears.

Xiaoqiu... you actually just wanted to take a bath in the bathtub...

Fragments of the past emerged at inopportune times, as if to remind Meow Meng, or Yutenji Wakumai, to make her realize that Akie must have lived a very hard life after that.

"I don't mind..." Miao Meng nodded with a smile, "If you want to use it, use it. But remember to bring a change of clothes..."

She really wanted to say, "If you want to use it, take a bath with me," but she suppressed the urge in the end.

I am a very sensible person, Miao Meng thought to herself.

It was already very abrupt to suddenly ask Xiaoqiu to come to your home. If you make other ambiguous requests, it would be totally inappropriate!

Even if you want to bring it up! You have to wait until Xiaoqiu comes home, when the atmosphere is right, then... talk about it! Right?

"I see." Qiu Hui nodded, "There's one more thing. If it's convenient for Miss Meow Meng, can I stay there overnight?"

"……what?"

Meow Dream is down.

She offered this very calmly, which was in stark contrast to Meow Meng's temporary disconnection from the shock.

Togawa Akie said this because after previous personal experience, she had realized that spending the night at a girl's house is actually not something very special.

She had no experience before, so she panicked when she was honest with her classmate Xiangzi.

But after that night, she realized that even if they slept in the same bed for a whole night, nothing would actually happen.

Neither Xiangzi nor herself had any special feelings afterwards.

This first-hand information gave her a whole new perspective on staying over at a friend's house.

This incident itself is actually no big deal.

Of course, Miao Meng had once told Qiu Hui about her sexual orientation, but this factor was naturally within Qiu Hui's consideration.

After all, she is the same kind of person, so naturally she won't have any special opinions about this.

Not to mention that Miao Meng's house also had a separate guest room. After comprehensive consideration, she didn't think there was anything wrong with staying overnight at Miao Meng's house.

Being able to stay in a comfortable three-bedroom apartment for one night... this was a tempting enough proposal for Qiu Hui.

"No, no problem... Then, Qiu Rangzi, do you want to go home and pack some things for the overnight?" Miao Meng said hesitantly.

"Well, let's do it." Qiu Hui nodded with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality."

After that, the two set off together. According to Qiu Hui, she was going to the RiNG performance hall to meet a friend and talk about some things related to the band.

Looking at Qiu Hui's back as she walked in front of him, Miao Meng's thoughts became a mess.

Xiaoqiu's current condition is very strange, Miao Meng judged.

Although she sometimes thinks about things in a calm and old-fashioned rational manner, Miao Meng can always see that she becomes lively and active due to her emotional fluctuations, just like when they met before.

However, Xiao Qiu now looks particularly stiff... almost like she is broken.

Although Miao Meng didn't know what to do, she had decided to find a way to help.

Chapter 32: Miss Miaomeng's Emotional Radio

Meowth dreams of helping Qiu Hui.

But before that, she needed to find a reasonable reason.

Why do you care so much about me? Because Qiu Hui might ask her like this, she needs to prepare the answer in advance.

Miao Meng felt that she was not actually restrained.

As long as you are interested in the other person, you will express your affection, and as long as the other person is willing to accept it, you will continue to work hard.

Now Miao Meng is a person who dares to express her feelings, at least she thinks so.

However, if the target is Akiie, that’s another matter.

When it comes to matters concerning her, it is not her current personality traits that govern Miao Meng's actions.

Those touching memories and the time they spent together bound her like a chain, making it impossible for her to move freely or express herself.

The current Meow Meng is Meow Meng, not Yutenji Wakamu.

She and Qiu Hui used to be close friends, but now they are just acquaintances who have just met for a short time.

Because she didn't want the other party to doubt her intentions, Miao Meng emphasized this fact in her heart, constantly wondering whether she had shown excessive attentiveness, which would arouse suspicion of ulterior motives.

With such a strong urge for correction, it is not surprising that overcorrection occurs.

Therefore, Miao Meng now looks a bit shy due to being introverted.

Right now, the two were on their way to RiNG. Miao Meng thought that maybe she should ask the other party what the next plan was.

"Akirako, where are you going next and how long will it take?" she asked. Such a topic should not make her seem overly concerned.
