Loneliness and Rock and Roll with Band Observer

Although his heart felt as if it was being squeezed and was aching dully, Ruomai still tried his best to force himself to smile.

I like Xiaoqiu.

That is why I am unwilling to occupy a meaningless shell.

Xiaoqiu's life is not something I can bear...

No. After all, is there anyone in this world who can really shoulder the responsibility of another person's life?

"I think... you're probably just too tired."

Ruomai smiled bitterly, picked up the cold flower tea from the table and handed it to Qiu Hui.

"Success or failure, right or wrong, I don't think these things are important..."

"Xiao Qiu, you just need to have a good rest."

Ruomai looked at the dark computer screen and recalled the empty text document.

"Why would you push yourself to that point?"

Qiu Hui didn't answer, but Wakamai suddenly had an idea.

She stood up from the bed and looked down at Qiu Hui.

The sudden inspiration she had just had made her suddenly understand some things.

If it is said that Xiaoqiu has to face the constant pressure from work because of life's pressure.

Then, as long as I help Xiaoqiu solve her life problems...

It doesn't mean I keep her like a pet. I don't have the ability to carry her life on my shoulders.

I also don't want her to become a pathetic doll that makes me laugh.

Yutenji Wakamu had witnessed everything with her own eyes, so she might know where the real crux of the problem lies.

Yes.

The answer had actually been right in front of me all along.

If... I could really persuade Akie and the Togawa family to reconcile...

The rosy possibility made Ruomai lose his mind in an instant.

But wait, how is this possible? Who am I to talk about this?

This idea has long been proven to be unrealistic. Wasn't it because I tried to persuade Qiu Hui to go home that things have come to this?

Yutenji Wakamu was about to get into a dilemma.

But at this moment.

Ruomai suddenly felt that she seemed to hear something coming from outside the door...

…the sound of the doorbell.

Chapter 44 What Party?

……doorbell?

Ruomai believed that the ringing sound was probably not an illusion.

Because Qiu Hui seemed to have heard it as well and had some reaction.

But that was all there was to it, there were no further words or actions.

Doorbell.

Someone came to see me? Who could it be?

I don’t think I’ve bought anything online recently, and I didn’t order any takeout just now?

Could it be the NHK toll collector, or maybe a fan or hater who specifically identified my home address... Stop, stop, stop, this is too outrageous, right?

No matter what, if someone knocks on the door, you should always go and check what's going on.

Therefore, Ruomai had to temporarily stop communicating with Qiu Hui.

"Wait for me for a moment. I'll go check what's going on at the door."

"Okay." Qiu Hui nodded slightly without commenting, like an NPC issuing tasks.

Ruomai came to the door of his house and looked out through the peephole.

After seeing the situation at the door clearly, her pupils almost contracted like a cat in the sun.

There are three people standing outside the door... This is not the point, the key lies in the identities of these three people!

Right in the front was the large face of Chihaya Aine – this guy was currently looking around furtively in front of the door.

Behind her was the guitarist Ms. Goto Ichiri who also had pink hair...but today she wasn't wearing a sports outfit. Instead, she was dressed up to look a little more like a high school girl!

As for the third person...

…The third person is the boss of her new band project, Toyokawa Shoko!

Why did Toyokawa Shoko appear in this place? Is her relationship with Akie so close?

Yutenji Wakamu had the urge to roar to the sky.

Yes, if you think about it carefully, the trigger for Xiaoqiu to become what she is now was entirely because Toyokawa Shoko suddenly invited her to a meeting to form a band for some unknown reason!

This led to our meeting, and then Xiao Qiu learned my real name, and then things turned into the current unclear and melancholy situation in an instant...

Ruomai complained about this future boss a thousand and ten thousand times in her heart, wishing she could rub and flatten that slightly pale round face.

But she also knew that now was not the right time to complain about Xiangzi. There were more important things to consider.

That is, should I open the door now?

If the door was opened, these three old friends of Qiu Hui would rush in directly!

At this point, Ruomai doesn't have much time to care about trivial issues like his and Qiuhui's world of two.

She was mainly worried about whether Qiu Hui, who was in such a mess, could handle the sudden influx of so many people...

"..."

Ruomai's hand stayed on the door handle for a moment, and finally opened the door.

Everyone is Qiuhui’s friend, everyone Qiuhui cares about, and everyone also cares about Qiuhui.

I also know that it would be difficult to help Qiu Hui by my own strength.

So, Yutenji Wakamu opened the door.

Facing Aine’s surprised face, she reluctantly told the truth.

"Why? Of course it's because... this is the house I rented."

……

"So... that roommate is you, Yutenji-san."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded as if something suddenly occurred to her.

Her eyes then uncontrollably turned to the spacious living room, the stylish furniture, and the bright and clean master bedroom behind the open door...

...Apart from anything else, this accommodation is indeed much better than the rental house that Qiu Hui lived in before.

Thinking back to the rental house where Qiu Hui lived before, which was almost the same as the doghouse of his asshole father, Xiangzi had a kind of...how to say it, a feeling of inexplicable relief.

Of course, I'm not just happy about the improvement in Qiuhui's situation.

Qiu Hui is now living with Yutenji, and even sleeping together...

For some reason, Xiangzi suddenly remembered the scene some time ago when she missed the last bus and was forced to stay at Qiuhui's house.

Well, even if we share a house, normally we wouldn’t sleep in the same… bed… like we did back then?

"Ahaha, I almost forgot, it's not strange for Meow Meng to be here..."

Aine greeted him awkwardly, wondering if she should try to change the subject.

"Ah, Xiangzi-san, why is your face so red?"

Her attention was suddenly drawn to Xiangzi's situation!

"What? You said nothing!"

Aiyin looked at Xiangzi who turned around suddenly, feeling a little confused.

Did she think of something strange?

The three of them suddenly broke into Ruomai and Qiu Hui's shared residence. Although they had prepared themselves mentally in advance, they were still a little nervous, so they all avoided the question.

As for Ruomai, she is actually very nervous now.

"By the way, how did you three...uh, find my place?"

Because she soon realized that she had probably been opened inadvertently.

She felt her eyelids begin to twitch involuntarily, probably a side effect of her tense nerves.

Although the three of them are Qiu Hui's friends, but... to be honest, it still feels very unnatural that even their residence has been discovered.

“…I brought them here.”

Toyokawa Shoko turned around, but a subtle expression still remained on her face.

"I helped Akie move her luggage before, so I know she lives here now... but I didn't know Yutenji-san was here too."

Xiangzi's answer made Ruomai feel a little relieved.

Well, it seems that it wasn’t the agency that leaked my address…

The atmosphere in the four-person room became somewhat awkward.

Because everyone is avoiding the topic.

Unexpectedly, the first person to break this strange situation was Goto Ichiri, who had been silent since a while ago.

"Miss Meow..., we're here to look for Akie!"

Yili raised his head and looked at Ruomai bravely.

She and Ruomai were not actually familiar with each other, so according to her normal situation, she should have messed up due to nervousness.

However, perhaps it was because of the time she spent with Qiu Hui that she overcame her original social phobia, or perhaps she simply cared about Qiu Hui and had no time to care about her own social phobia...

...In short, she firmly put forward her own demands first.

"Excuse me, where is she now? Is she in this room?" Yili continued to ask.

"…She's here."

Ruomai shook his head helplessly.

"However, she is in a very bad state right now, so maybe she is not suitable for discussing things..."

"In that case, it's okay if we don't talk about it!"

Chihaya Aine suddenly interrupted Ruomu with a smile.

"I do have a lot of questions. For example, what happened during this period of time, and what happened between Meow Mengqin and her..."

"...But! I think the most important thing right now is to make Senpai happy first!"

Aine clapped her hands suddenly.

“So, the first priority now… how should I put it, is to have a party! Or whatever you want to call it!”

Chapter 45: Inevitable jealousy

"…What kind of party? Why choose this time?"

Ruomai's face was gloomy.

Party? She wasn't in the mood to think about that right now.

I was struggling to think of a way out in the melancholy atmosphere one minute ago, but the next minute I was interrupted by this guy, who made such a stupid suggestion at first glance...

However, in line with the principle of "forecasting the enemy's weakness", although Wakamai was very unhappy, he did not think that Aine was a fool who could not read the air at all.
