Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

Yili said, looking at everyone with some guilt.

Every word she said left Kita's brain blank for a while.

"Ichiri...what did you say?"

After a long while, she asked dully.

Chapter 78 Let’s watch the show at the beach

confession?

Between girls?

Why?

Kita felt that he couldn't understand... Well, maybe he could understand this aspect.

But what does it mean to say, “Although I am not accepted, I am still allowed to do this or that”?

Kita himself is actually quite well-informed. Since his social circle is quite large, he has heard many examples from his friends.

But... Xiao Yili shouldn't be that kind of person, right?

On the contrary, Ryo reacted quickly for some reason: "Oh, so it's a physical relationship. So how far has it progressed?"

She put forward her guess without hesitation.

"Ryo-senpai, you're so straightforward..." Kita sighed.

"Don't be so confident!" Hongxia protested, "Pochi-chan definitely didn't mean that!"

Goto Ichiri shook his head slightly: "I... I don't know what I really think. So, I want to ask everyone."

She looked apologetic, like a little child who had made a mistake.

"Besides, I think Akie must be troubled like me right now. That's why she chose to go to the training camp with the others to stay away from a troublesome guy like me..."

"You don't have to worry about that."

Liang came up to Yili and patted her shoulder, looking quite inexplicably majestic.

"Akira is a very troublesome person," she said. "And the trouble with her is that she always puts the blame on herself."

"Push it...on yourself?" Yili was a little confused.

"Huh, yeah." Liang made a whistling sound. "If she gets into trouble, she will always reflect on whether she has done something wrong, and will never blame others."

Having said that, Liang seemed to show a rare hint of confusion.

"Akira actually talked to me about this," she said, "but the details... forget it. I didn't ask her if she could tell anyone about this, so I decided not to say anything. However, my advice to her was to think more about her own affairs."

Ryo looked around, "Pochi often takes the blame on himself because of his personality. And Akie has a similar personality, always trying to solve other people's problems."

"This kind of relationship is unhealthy. I think a healthy relationship should consist of a provider of freeloaders and a recipient of freeloaders. One party should always take the responsibility of being selfish and lying down to enjoy the benefits..."

"...Don't add any weird ideas without permission." Hong Xia frowned and retorted, "But..."

She shook her head helplessly: "...I feel that this matter is indeed very tricky. Excluding the strange part, what Ryo said does make sense. Akie is indeed the type who finds it difficult to accept the care of others."

Kita looked this way and that way, then nodded thoughtfully, as if he roughly understood the situation.

"So... is this the situation? Koichi likes Aki, but Aki doesn't like Koichi. But Aki doesn't want to hurt Koichi by rejecting her... so she compromises with Koichi in this way or that way. But Koichi is not satisfied with this compromise..."

After countless "buts", Kita finally understood the development of the situation.

"...Anyway, that's what happened. Am I understanding it correctly?"

Kita's forehead was slightly sweaty. This thing was quite rock and roll even from the perspective of a modern person.

"That's pretty close." Ryo nodded, "As expected of Ikuyo."

"Well……"

Kita pondered, and she raised her own questions based on her common sense.

"If you don't like it, then don't accept it. That's how love should be, right?" She said in an unsure tone, "Even if the other person gets hurt, it's inevitable. I think this kind of unclear situation is more hurtful than a clear rejection!"

"Perhaps what Kita said is correct." Ichiri nodded, "But..."

Yili's lips moved slightly, but he didn't say the rest of the words.

However, Hongxia seemed to understand what she meant and said what Yili originally wanted to say.

"From our perspective, that may be the case." Hong Xia smiled helplessly, "But, Kita-chan and I are the same kind of people, but Pochi-chan and Akie-chan may have quite different ideas from us."

She recalled what happened before: "Akiu also told me that for people like Xiao Boqi, although encouragement is important, we must also respect her right to feel depressed."

"Kita thinks it would be better to be more straightforward, but Pochi might not be able to think in this way."

She looked at Ichiri who was in a low mood and asked, "The most important thing is what you think, Pochi-chan."

"What do you think about this matter?"

"..."

Goto Ichiri lowered his head.

"I……"

Just as she was about to say something, her cell phone rang.

……

Togawa Aie answered the phone.

Aine watched quietly from the side.

"...Pochi? Good morning."

Qiu Hui said seriously.

"Morning... Good morning. Um, how was the training camp?"

Goto Ichiri on the other end of the phone said timidly.

There's nothing to be afraid of, so why am I always so nervous?

"Not bad." Akie replied.

“That’s great…”

Ichiri's answer made Qiu Hui feel a little amused.

"Thank you. But, does Pochi really think this is 'ok'?" she asked.

Yili on the other end of the phone fell silent.

"…Some things are still inconvenient to discuss over the phone. I'll send you my current location later."

"Huh?" Ichiri asked in surprise, "Akiei, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"As you know, I'm a backup keyboardist in Aine's band. We're planning to try to put on a performance on the beach tomorrow as a rehearsal before the official performance."

Qiu Hui told Yili about her arrangements.

"Originally, I was thinking of coming to see you after my training camp is over. But on second thought, if you are free tomorrow, Pochi, then... maybe you can consider coming to see my performance here. I would like to take this opportunity to have a good chat with you."

"I see... Well, I'm actually quite free since I don't have many friends... Ahaha. Then, see you tomorrow?"

"Hmm. Besides..."

Qiu Hui looked embarrassed, but after hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke out.

“…Aine will be there too. Yes, that’s right, it’s what you thought.”

Qiu Hui let out a long sigh.

"Aine is the one I like. I'm really sorry for keeping it a secret from Pochi."

Aiyin, who was watching Akie making a phone call, had a strange look on her face.

Senior, can't you change your words a little bit... to something more appropriate?

Why do I sound so weird?

Chapter 79: The growing debt of love

Looking at Akie who lowered her head slightly as if reflecting on her mistakes, Aine smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"It can't be helped. After all, Senior isn't good at this kind of thing."

She reached out her hand and touched Qiu Hui's head condescendingly.

"If you feel guilty, answer my next question."

"...What?" Akie raised her head.

"What is your relationship with Meow Mengqin? You've appeared in videos together before, and it seems like you're pretty close."

Aine said this while smiling brightly.

"I...we...to put it simply, we are just roommates now..." Qiu Hui said with a guilty conscience.

Qiu Hui reacted instinctively to this question that seemed to contain a mysterious meaning.

And Aine also instinctively sensed the turmoil in Akie's heart.

“Don’t be so nervous, senior. I’m just curious, so I want to ask.” Aine explained with a smile, “Besides, we are not really dating right now. So, senior, there is no need to worry too much.”

"My goal is to relieve the psychological burden on you, but if I make you feel uneasy, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?"

Yes, my senior and I don’t have a confirmed relationship yet. So there is no question of disappointing each other…

Thoughts like these flashed through Aine's mind, which helped her calm down after she had felt an inexplicable bitterness after seeing Meowme and Akie appear on screen at the same time.

And Aine's explanation also made Akie feel a little relieved.

"…We are indeed just roommates."

Although Qiu Hui's mentality became calmer, her attitude did not change at all.

Because she always told the truth.

"Ms. Miao Meng seems to have a special preference for me." She expressed her own judgment, "Since we met, we often ran into each other for various reasons. Every time she was quite active, and after we got to know each other a little, she took the initiative to invite me to share the house with her."

"After seeing the living environment there and the conditions she offered, I felt that sharing a house was a good deal financially, so I agreed to her request."

“Hmm… If you think about it this way, it’s a good deal.” Aine nodded seriously, “Nyanmu-kun’s studio always looks very tidy, so the rest of her place must be the same. And she can even help you with makeup… I’d be tempted if I were her.”

Regarding this issue, she completely stood from the perspective of Qiu Hui's actual interests.

“But.” Aine thought again, “Even so, Meowmu was a little too enthusiastic to kiss her. Don’t you think so, Senior?”

"I do think so. Her enthusiasm is a bit too much, and it makes me feel uneasy... But, if I share the house with her, I can get a lot of convenience, so..."

Qiu Hui lowered her head in shame.

The bedroom in Miao Meng's house is more spacious than her original residence excluding the bathroom, and it is fully furnished, not to mention the public space outside the room.

“Hehe, Senpai was defeated by the temptation of material things!” Aine said with a wicked smile.

"...I don't deny it." Akie nodded.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, since you're paying the rent, it's not impossible for you to live with me."

Aine suddenly had an idea.

"My house...my house doesn't seem to have any empty rooms, but I have a bed and a sofa in my room! We can take turns sleeping there!"

This idea quickly grew branches in Aine's mind and gradually became more complete.

"If I had known that Senpai actually paid his own rent, I would have invited him to my house! Senpai looks like a very stable and well-behaved kid, and my mother would definitely agree..."

“I say, Aine, I’m not a ‘good kid’.” Akie shook her head, “I moved out because I had a conflict with my family.”

"Besides... moving directly into their house, and meeting their parents, don't you think..."

Qiu Hui's reminder woke Aiyin up from her dream.

“Oh, that’s right…”
