Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

Although I have seen scenes of young ladies coming out to experience life before...but Senior doesn't seem to be like that at all!

Is it true that the poverty and frugality that runs deep in the bones can be expressed by someone who comes out to "experience life"?

However, Aine thought again.

The senior himself also said that because of conflicts with his family, he had to rely on his own work to support his life.

If she has a conflict with her family, then no matter how rich her family is, it will have nothing to do with her.

After thinking about this, Aiyin felt relieved.

"So, you had a conflict with your family because you couldn't adapt, right? During this period, you sought help from friends, but it turned out that the other party was actually on the side of your family, is that right?" She continued to state her conclusion.

"You could say that, right?" Ichiri answered uneasily.

"Hmm. After that, Senpai even had to go to the hospital..."

Hospital?

To be honest, Aine didn’t really know what “going to the hospital” meant.

It's not clear what she said, maybe the senior herself didn't explain it clearly.

But speaking of putting myself in the hospital...

Thinking of this, Aiyin's face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't dare to think any further.

She could think of several possibilities, each one horrifying.

Did something like that actually...really happen?

It happened to the senior?

She was a little scared, but Aiyin still felt a sense of absurdity that was not real.

If something had gone wrong with my senior back then, would I not be able to see her now?

The thought that Togawa Aie might cease to exist in this world because of what happened at that time, this trivial possibility made Aine feel terrified.

In her impression, Qiu Hui has always maintained a tough and peaceful image.

Even though they may be confused and timid occasionally, most of the time they play a role that can give strength to others and even help them move forward.

I know that seniors certainly have their own fragile side.

But, things have actually developed to that point...

Aine felt a little uncomfortable.

As expected, there are still many things I don’t understand about things related to my seniors, right?

With this slightly regretful mood, she continued to ask.

“…Because this series of events was so frightening, it probably caused quite a serious trauma. So, even though Senior has now regained his footing, he is still unwilling to go back and reconcile with his family. Am I right?”

Aine's direct question seemed to make Ichiri a little uncomfortable.

"That's probably what happened. However, I should probably ask Qiu Hui herself to find out the details." She answered nervously, "She only told me a little bit before, and she just said two sentences. She looked like she was hit hard. It was really scary..."

It seemed that Goto Ichiri was still not used to discussing these things with Aine, and he seemed to stumble when he spoke.

“Alright, alright, don’t be nervous!” Aine consoled her, “It’s good that you know this much. Ichiri-chan really helped a lot this time!”

"Really? Really?" Ichiri exclaimed.

“It’s true.” Aine smiled helplessly, “For something like this, first of all, I wouldn’t necessarily think of asking, and secondly, even if I did, given Senpai’s awkward personality, he might not tell me.”

Besides, even if he told me, he would just say "it's nothing" and brush it off.

Chihaya Aine sighed in her heart.

How much do I still not know about things related to my predecessors?

Aiyin couldn't help but feel sad about this.

I really want to know more.

Because only when you know it can you talk about sharing the burden with each other.

Obviously, we have made up our minds that we should try to share not only the joy but also the pain with each other.

As a result, I didn’t even know such an important thing…

Aiyin couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

I'm not blaming Qiu Hui for not telling me, but I'm blaming myself for not trying to get to the bottom of it.

Perhaps, although I have entered the body of my predecessor, I have not yet been able to truly enter his heart...

...Oh no, this is a dirty joke!

Ai Ne blushed and shook her head vigorously.

Well, let’s ignore that for now…

“…If that’s the case, then maybe Senior has been under a lot of pressure for a while, or maybe he has encountered some kind of opportunity recently, so… he can’t hold on any longer?”

How should I put it? Aine felt that she could understand this feeling to some extent.

She had been disturbed by Su Shi's sudden outburst, and she had witnessed with her own eyes how Su Shi didn't take the new band seriously at all, which had accumulated a lot of psychological pressure.

After that, in the practice room, Deng's hesitation became the fuse that triggered everything. Because of this, Aine gave up the band in despair.

Although I am not in such a bad mood now thanks to the help of my seniors, I still remember the feeling at that time very clearly.

“Actually, Senpai and other friends have contacted me before.” Aine said.

The person she was referring to was naturally Toyokawa Shoko.

"Everyone seems to be worried about Senior," she said.

It was at this moment that an idea emerged from the bottom of her heart.

"Senior's current condition is very worrying. I think Ichiri-chan should think so too, right?"

"...Yeah." Ichiri agreed, "But, I don't know what to do."

“I don’t know either.” Aine admitted generously, “So, I think we should all come up with a solution together!”

Me, Xiao Yili, Xiangzi, and maybe others... Well, for example, maybe Miao Mengqin can help?

Although the senior may always feel that she is isolated and helpless, she has unknowingly found that more and more people are willing to help her.

If we can all work together to figure this out...

Chapter 39 Xiangzi also wants to do it

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"...Very good. Does everyone have any objection to this part of the matter?"

Toyokawa Shoko's eyes swept across the three band members in front of her.

"I have no objection." Chu Hua smiled and shook her head. "If Xiao Xiang thinks it's appropriate, I think it's fine too."

Mu didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Shoko finally looked at Hachiman Kailing.

"I personally have no objection, but there is a question I may have to ask."

Hai Ling signaled with her eyes and looked outside the door.

"Our drummer, Ms. Yutenji, and Mr. Togawa." Hailing said, "What's going on over there?"

The calm smile on Xiangzi's face froze slightly.

"...I'll take care of things over there." She breathed a sigh of relief, "Everyone just needs to make your own preparations."

She tried to contact Qiu Hui, but only received a vague reply from her until recently.

After that, she tried to contact Chihaya Aine, who had a close relationship with Akie, but still had no results for the time being.

Helplessly, she could only focus on the meeting at hand for the time being.

After all, caring about Qiu Hui is her own business and has nothing to do with Chuhua and the others.

"I understand." Hai Ling nodded, "Actually, I also have some personal matters that I would like to ask her for help."

"Let's talk about this later." Xiangzi sighed.

I never expected that Akie and Yutenji were old acquaintances, and it seemed that...something quite unpleasant had happened between them.

Xiangzi instinctively felt something was not right. The past between them might not be that simple, and she had a subtle intuition that made her feel uneasy.

Especially since Mu once reminded her like this: "Su Shi".

Could it be that Qiu Hui is also involved in a subtle emotional entanglement like the one between Su Shi and I before?

Xiangzi immediately looked embarrassed. To be honest, she couldn't quite imagine what that situation would be like.

Especially Yutenji-san...

Xiangzi frowned slightly. This guy's first impression was obviously quite frivolous.

But none of that matters.

The important thing is that Qiu Hui seems to need help now.

"After the discussion just now, everyone should now know most of what you want to know."

Xiangzi looked at everyone. She felt that today's meeting was almost over.

Objectively speaking, without Yutenji-san present, it seems inappropriate to draw any further conclusions at this moment.

From Xiangzi's subjective point of view, after what happened just now, she really didn't want to continue chatting.

"If everyone has no objections, we will disband today." Xiangzi said calmly, "I may need to have further negotiations with the agency, so we can talk about the rest later..."

Although her face looked calm, she was actually very anxious.

As for the reason, it is naturally obvious.

Something was clearly wrong with Qiu Hui. She was very worried about the situation there... although she didn't quite understand why she cared so much and whether she was in the right position to be so concerned.

We are friends...it's only natural for friends to care about each other.

Although this is an explanation, Xiangzi still feels that this level of explanation is not enough to explain the inexplicable impulse in her heart.

Qiu Hui helped me a lot. Although she may not be aware of this, her existence is indeed very important to me anyway.

He was able to make up his mind to form a band, to work calmly and steadily for his career and future, to step out of the shadow of CRYCHIC, and to face the daily life that might be gloomy but he still had to face it.

All in all, continue to live like a normal human being.

The fact that I was able to extricate myself from the paranoia and confusion brought about by that incident was perhaps largely due to my chance meeting with Togawa Akeie.

Now Xiangzi has the ability to calmly judge his own situation.

If it weren't for Qiu Hui, maybe I would have been able to get out of this situation on my own one day. But it wouldn't have been so smooth, and I might have hurt myself and others more.

Because Akie is so important to me...

A trace of gloom passed across Xiangzi's face.

Because of this, it is impossible to imagine her having any problems.

It was because of her firm and steady attitude that inspired me that I was able to gradually get out of the predicament at that time.

So, if she is the one who is in trouble this time, should I also... try to help her like she helped me?

Xiangzi stood up and said, "Well, let's stop here for today."

"Huh? Is it over already?" Sanjiao Chuhua was stunned.

"There's nothing to talk about right now."

After saying that, Xiangzi bowed slightly to everyone and said, "Thank you all again for coming today."

Although the other three people present except Hai Ling were all her friends, she still felt that she should observe the etiquette of the negotiation.

After all, I am not asking them for help as a friend, but seriously expressing my intention to cooperate.

"Xiao Xiang..."

Chu Hua lowered his head in a lost manner, seeming to be in a very low mood.
