Teacher Daxiang, please teach me how to play Kasuga Shadow!

At this point, Aiyin suddenly felt puzzled. "But shouldn't Xiaoxiang have changed? Why did he look the same just now?"

Something strange looking?"

"I was deceived by you, so I feel unconvinced."

"hey-hey......."

Seeing Aine's silly smile, Ayano couldn't help but touch the pink-haired girl's head, then took her hand and walked to the dining table.

On the other side, Shoko Toyokawa, who was washing her face in the bathroom, was extremely panicked.

It was bad. She now felt ashamed whenever she saw Aine's face.

But that alone is nothing. The most important thing is that I actually felt a little excited and proud, and even Ayano's devilish whisper suddenly rang in my ears again.

Shoko Toyokawa felt that she was no longer worthy of being a teacher.

And strictly speaking, she had already failed Ayano's test, and she really had no qualifications to teach Ayano how to be a human being.

For a moment, Xiangzi thought a lot, and finally sighed.

Give up? Quit?

If Xiangzi would have made such a choice before, she would no longer be willing to do so after experiencing "Ayano's disappearance".

She felt that there was no need to think so complicatedly. It was enough to maintain this strange relationship. Life went on as usual.

He doesn't ask, nor does he refuse... He appears by Ayano's side when needed, and otherwise they just get along as ordinary friends.

Mujica must continue to maintain his passion for work and cannot give up.

Wait...why is she becoming more and more like a qualified mistress?

Chapter 216: What It's Like to Lose an Argument to Your Daughter (9)

"Look, that's Mizushima-sama!"

"Why does Mizushima-sama look so happy today? Oh no, her smile is making me intoxicated..."

"By the way, it seems like Mizushima-sama hasn't been attending LIVEs with Chihaya-san and the others recently. Did something happen?"

In the summer campus, the girl is wearing cool clothes. Although it is just an ordinary school uniform, it can outline the perfect figure of the girl named Mizushima Ayano.

In this school that only has girls, she is always discussed wherever she goes, but recently the topics of discussion have gradually shifted towards gossip.

Things like "Chihaya Aine abandoned her after having fun with her, and at the same time PUA the cute little Touma Takamatsu and the cold goddess Mizushima Ayano", "A cold and violent band, how terrible is the mind of a girl", "Mizushima-sama finally let go and seems to have let go of the past".

This kind of groundless and ridiculous talk keeps popping up. Although everyone is just joking and no one takes it seriously, it also reflects everyone's attention to Ayano to a certain extent.

As the center of the incident, Mizushima Ayano herself naturally would not pay attention to this matter. She was currently being praised in class by her homeroom teacher, Nagase Kazushige, as an excellent role model.

"Mizushima-san got full marks again on the last math quiz. You can discuss your study problems with Mizushima-san more often."

"..."

After saying this, Nagase Kazushige felt a little helpless, because she found that the students in the class were all looking at the beautiful girl in the class with admiration, but although they were looking, it seemed that no one wanted to start a show of force.

Combined with the fact that Ayano Mizushima in his class rarely communicated with others, Nagase suddenly felt that this seemed to be a very serious problem.

Academic performance is academic performance, but if your interpersonal skills are not up to par, you will definitely suffer when you go to college and start working.

Furthermore, Nagase discovered that Ayano seemed to have recently given up the band and devoted herself to studying...

It’s bad, the good students are going to be corrupted by her!

Wouldn't this make him a nerd from studying, and he would definitely be cheated by those bad guys when he enters society?

Thinking of this, Nagase looked at Ayano again, thinking that if the other party had not changed recently and her interpersonal communication was still zero, she would consider paying a home visit.

The day's classes ended like this, and Nagase went to the class at the end of the last class in the afternoon and randomly found a classmate to ask about the situation.

When he learned that Ayano didn't join any club today and the band didn't continue, Nagase shook his head helplessly and left.

As for Ayano at the moment, she actually did not go to the rehearsal room of Mujica, nor did she go home directly. Instead, she went to Mejiro Garden located at 3-20-18 Mejiro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo.

The girl stood at the entrance to Mejiro Gardens. The wooden gate and the mossy stone walls on either side gave her a sense of ancient simplicity. She stepped through the gate and into the garden, where a beautiful scene suddenly unfolded before her eyes.

She walked slowly along the path, the gravel path beneath her feet clean and tidy, with neatly trimmed shrubs and flowers on both sides. The early summer sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, shining on her shoulders, accompanied by a breeze that brought her a refreshing feeling.

Come to think of it, she used to come here often with her family when she was little. Her memory of that time is not very clear, but through the old photos saved in her mobile phone, she can still recall the scene of her riding on her father's shoulders.

The pond not far away lies quietly in the center of the garden. The water is crystal clear and you can see the bottom. Occasionally, a few koi swim by, causing ripples.

She had an impression of this place because Ayano and Aine had been here several times, although

I don’t have much impression of what was said or done.

Continuing forward, she crossed a small bridge, then walked through a bamboo forest, and came to the depths of the garden. Few people came here, making it seem even more peaceful.

Looking up, she saw her father, Goro Mizushima, sitting on a bench next to an ancient pine tree with a book in his hand. When he saw her coming, he raised his head and waved to her.

"..."

Ayano doesn't know how to complain about her father who still pretends to be artistic at his age.

However, they chose to meet here instead of going home to talk. Ayano actually knew the reason. After all, if Aine and Shoko were at home, how could her thin-skinned father have the nerve to educate her?

"dad."

"Well... please sit down." Goro Mizushima pointed to the empty seat next to him and motioned Ayano to sit down.

When Ayano really sat down, the man sighed deeply, and then said helplessly: "You know why I chose..."

"Dad, I won't give up."

Mizushima Goro, who had originally wanted to bring back memories and bring his father and daughter closer, looked at his daughter who had interrupted him speechlessly and said:

"...No, could you at least let me finish my opening remarks?"

"Is it necessary? Aren't you here to persuade me?" Ayano smiled. She knew that this topic could not be avoided.

"That means there's nothing to talk about?"

"..."

Seeing her father's stern face, Ayano felt very nervous because she didn't know how to persuade this old man.

Perhaps to distract herself and relieve the tension in her heart, Ayano took out a bag of snacks from her pocket and started eating.

"Anyway, I'm your father. I'm more experienced and have a longer-term perspective than you. I..."

"More experienced?" Ayano suddenly complained, "It seems like you talked about this a lot when you were young, Dad. I'm going to complain to Nanako right now."

"what?"

This sentence confused Mizushima Goro, and he immediately explained, "No, your mother and I are first love!"

"Then you're just lucky to have met a good woman like my mother, but you can't be considered experienced."

"You stinky girl, if you're with a girl, who will take care of you when you're old?"

"Money."

"..."

Seeing that her father was speechless, Ayano continued, "If you have money, there will be people to take care of you. It's impossible that you don't understand this truth, Dad."

"Without a biological child, there's no one to accompany you spiritually!" Mizushima Goro seemed to have thought of something and quickly retorted, "You and your lover may quarrel and break up, but your child won't. She will take care of you and share your worries..."

"So am I sharing your troubles now?"

"..."

"Also, I'll tell my mom what you said. Be careful tonight."

"I……"

"Dad, why are you thinking so much? Come and have some cookies together." Ayano said with a smile, looking at the book in her father's hand. "Although your spiritual food is important, nothing can satisfy your stomach like this."

Looking at his precious daughter who had perfectly inherited his wife's eloquent tongue, Goro Mizushima helplessly reached out and took a piece of biscuit.

Then he paused and said, "Can you eat these cookies? You might get food poisoning if you eat these off-brand ones."

"It's not poisonous." Ayano rolled her eyes. "If you want to eat it, eat it yourself."

Chapter 217: Questioning the Sushi, Understanding the Sushi, and Becoming the Sushi (1/2)

Shiina Riki actually thought about a question.

What is the biggest difference between her current thoughts and what Su Shi had done in the past?

However, this question is actually very easy to answer. Lixi feels that the biggest difference is that she did not start over and establish a new band. She believes that if she wants to bring back everyone she used to be, the most important thing is that everyone is still together.

But specifically, the situation that Su Shi may need to face is much more difficult than the problems she is facing now.

Ayano is not Shoko. She did not leave without any reason and then disappear without a word.

It was easy for her to find Ayano and to strike up a conversation with her. Perhaps the only difficulty was what to say after they met and what reasons to use to persuade her to give up joining another band.

On the one hand, it was because of her selfishness that her former teammates betrayed her current teammates, and on the other hand, she respected the choice of her former teammates and truly gave up.

When Li Xi found that these two options were really in front of her, she understood what kind of mentality Su Shi had when she did those things before.

For Xiangzi's sake, Su Shi forced her and Deng to give up Ayano and others, so her current behavior is actually forcing Ayano to give up her current teammates.

Question the world, understand the world, become the world...

To be honest, at this moment, Li Xi felt that she no longer had any right to criticize Su Shi. She said that Ayano should come back, but in fact, it was probably just that she couldn't let it go.

"Lixi, your friend is here~"

"Ah..." Li Xi was stunned for a moment and almost dropped the glass in his hand.

And when she looked in the direction indicated by senior Rinrinko, she indeed saw Aine, Deng and Motoyo.

Plus she was

The wild cats captured with matcha pudding have now gathered all the members.

Without much chat, the few of them rushed directly to the recording studio for practice, and Aiyin was the first to plug her guitar into the speakers, looking eager to try.

"...I've already obtained the music's authorization. The sheet music I sent you last night is the final version."

Lixi took out a tablet from her bag, on which was displayed the five-person, keyboard-free version of "Bi-Li-Li Emoition" that she had rearranged overnight.

In fact, she wanted to ask Polaris Sister for help last night. After all, the song was her original work, and if she wanted to make some changes, she had to consider her opinion.

It's not just about respecting the original creator's ideas, but more importantly... it's because Lixi has become accustomed to discussing any doubts he has about music with Polaris.

But what puzzled her was that Polaris sister seemed to be busy with something yesterday. Apart from replying to her with "Takki, you can use it however you want", she didn't reply to her since then.

Maybe he is busy with something more important?

Of course, Li Xi would never have thought that Ayano was indeed busy with "music" last night, but this "music" was not only played with special instruments, but also with more beautiful sounds.

"Everyone, familiarize yourself with it first, and then put it together again in half an hour."

"Are you sure it's this song plus 'Bi Tian Ban Zou'?" Su Shi asked after taking a look at the music score on the tablet.

"Yeah." Li Xi nodded, "There's no time to write new songs, so let's leave it at that for now."

After a brief explanation, a chaotic yet orderly musical sound was heard in the recording studio.

However, what surprised Li Xi was that Ai Yin, who had been lagging behind before, played better than anyone else in the room today.

Not only was he able to play the entire piece of music incredibly smoothly without even looking at the score, but his level of proficiency alone showed that he must have practiced countless times last night.

Maybe... I even stayed up late to practice for it.

A relieved smile appeared on Li Xi's lips. She felt that although Aiyin was sometimes a little unreliable, and even suddenly brought up inappropriate topics such as the band name and uniforms yesterday.

But this girl does work much harder than most people here.

If she couldn't sense Aine's practice when everyone was scattered before, she could only confirm that she was practicing through some indirect details.

Then today's performance can directly reflect Aine's efforts.

Li Xi felt that at least he was not alone now, at least... the other people in the band were also working hard to get Ayano back.

“Aine.”

"Ok?"

When Riki suddenly called her name, Aine turned her head in confusion, as if waiting to be praised.

But to her disappointment, Riki didn't say what she wanted to hear as she expected. Instead, he said something that made everyone in the room except Lenai-chan stop what they were doing.

"Tomorrow... can you let Ayano come over to watch the live show?"
