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

It's like there's something weird

There was a sense of tacit understanding between them. When Aine asked the word "why", Ayano immediately gave her answer.

The conversation seemed to be nonsensical, but it was quite normal for the two of them.

"I do not have……"

"I know you haven't yet, but you are..."

Ayano looked at Aine's face helplessly, interrupting her as she slowly lay down. She placed her hands behind her head and silently stared at the ceiling of Aine's bedroom before saying, "When you encounter difficulties, your first choice is never to believe in your own ability to handle it."

"I……"

“You’re pretty, your grades are always top-notch, and you’re so popular in school, so why are you always so insecure in front of me? Aine…”

"How dare you say that?"

It would have been fine if Ayano hadn't said this, but once she did, Aine's teeth almost broke.

"In terms of looks, academic performance, and the terrifying popularity that makes all the girls chase after you without even having to do anything, which aspect isn't your strength?"

"But your best friend is better than my best friend. Isn't that why I can't compare to you?"

"Really... No, Ayano, are you here to comfort me or to piss me off?"

"Do you still need my comfort?" Ayano, who had half lifted herself up, smiled at Aine and said teasingly, "Actually, you're just arguing with me for not directly supporting you back then.

But now you know that’s not the case, so you don’t need me to comfort you at all, all you want is for me to stay here with you for a while.”

Ayano stretched out her hand, pulled the pink-haired girl into her arms, and slowly played with her hair. "I'm sleepy, be my pillow."

"W-Can you at least take a shower?"

"You don't mind."

"...You weren't really born secretly by my parents without my knowledge, were you?"

Otherwise, how come this guy always guesses what I'm thinking?

"...What are you thinking about?" Ayano rolled her eyes and glanced unhappily at Aine, who was sticking out her tongue and trying to act cute in her arms.

"Ayano-chan, I've made up my mind!"

"Oh? What have you decided?"

"I'll make sure to apologize to everyone tomorrow and then practice together! And speaking of which... you should be the one who's most nervous right now.

If you're not panicking, why should I be panicking? Really...

And why would I use you, Ayano, to comfort me? Ahhhh, this is so embarrassing~"

"Ahem, what if I'm not as bad as you think?"

"what?"

"I'm serious. What if I were really good at piano and not as clueless as you think? What would you do, Aine?"

Seeing Ayano suddenly look very serious, her eyes were fixed on hers, as if she wanted to see through her heart... Aine suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Her radar was constantly sounding the alarm, as if she had a premonition that something terrible was about to happen.

It was a feeling of falling into an ice hole, as if everything around her was icy lake water, squeezing her body and trapping her in a cage.

Could this be the legendary ultimate fatal question?

If he didn't answer well, he might end up in a cold war with Ayano. After all, this question contained many traps, such as her trust in Ayano, whether he was using Ayano's support to enhance his own sense of security, and whether he could really never back down.

In short, it seems that Ayano is just asking a completely impossible scenario interpretation question, but in fact... there is a hidden trick!

Aine wiped the nonexistent sweat from her forehead and after pondering for a long time, she finally gave a standard answer that should have received a perfect score:

"Even so, I won't back down. The most important thing is that Ayano-chan is always by my side. Just this alone is enough for me!"

Her answer... is correct, right?

Chapter 46: Work hard! Work hard... Or should we talk about it tomorrow? (2/2)

In the evening, on the "Becoming Human Bridge".

Shiina Riki held the railing with both hands, looking at the occasional vehicles passing by below, feeling a little annoyed, but this annoyance dissipated a lot when she turned around and saw the lights on the side.

"If I hadn't gone to Hanasakigawa before, and had directly entered Hanegaoka High School like Deng, maybe I could have been in the same class as Deng?"

"Ah."

"so good……"

When she said "it's so good", she might be imagining how happy she would be if she could really be in the same class with Deng; or maybe it was because she felt at ease that she could accompany Deng out of RiNG again, strolling on the street together and feeling the harmony that was unique to them.

Lixi is actually a very stubborn person in her heart. She sometimes wonders whether her character has hurt Deng. For this reason, she has been trapped in the quagmire she imagined for a long time.

However, she never expected that one day she would be able to resolve the misunderstanding, and it was based on her being scolded by Ayano.

"Deng, why do you want to re-form the band?

Ah... I'm not saying it's bad, actually, I'm really happy to be with Deng. "

"Um……"

Deng's bright eyes made Li Xi feel a little uncomfortable. He kept drawing circles on the ground with his toes and his eyes kept shifting.

"It's Aine and Ayano, right?" Deng thought for a moment. She felt that if these two hadn't given her courage when she was lost, she would still be timid. "Although some things have changed, but..."

"Does Deng still care about Xiangzi's affairs?"

Seeing that Deng's expression was a little strange, Li Xi immediately asked back.

But this time the lamp did not give her any response, or rather, silence was actually a kind of response.

Of course, Xiangzi’s matter has always been a hurdle that everyone cannot get over. Lixi knows that something must have happened to the other party, but for her, Xiangzi should not put pressure on Deng who did nothing wrong.

She liked Deng's songs very much. She saw herself in them and also felt the real world in the heart of Xiao Deng, who was usually not good at expressing himself.

So she rarely has endless things to say when she is with Deng, because as long as the melody sounds in her heart, that is the best communication.

As for Xiangzi... he was once a person she envied and admired, the backbone of the band, and the person who truly brought everyone together.

Now this admiration for each other's abilities has not disappeared, but Li Xi understands that once some things are destroyed by both sides, it is completely impossible for one side to recover them alone.

"Richie-chan."

"Ok?"

"Ritsuki-chan is still prejudiced against Aine and Ayano, right?"

"I..." Li Xi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, actually that's my problem too, I just... forget it, I will be nicer next time."

"Well, then... I'll go back first."

"it is good."

Looking at Deng's departing back, Li Xi stood there in a daze for a moment, then turned and left.

But as she walked home, she was also irritated by various things. Let's not talk about how difficult it was to compose music for the lyrics written by Deng and Ayano. What was going on with Rakuna and Aine today?

But if it was Ayano, the one with the strong mouth... maybe she could handle Aine's problem?

She had to admit that in these aspects, Li Xi felt that she was far inferior to Mizushima Ayano.

hateful……

Is it possible that Shiina Riki's way of speaking is so outdated?

----------

"It's time to eat, you two~"

Aine's mother, who had previously pretended to be deaf and dumb and ignored her own daughter, is now looking at the large table of dishes specially prepared for Ayano's arrival, secretly admiring her own unique cooking skills.

After putting away the three sets of dishes, she clapped her hands and shouted twice upstairs.

As for whether Aine has calmed down now?

What a joke, Ayano is here, and the little girl is really strong-willed for being able to hold on for 3 minutes.

Well, luckily Ayano is a girl. If it was a boy... wouldn't this be the behavior of a big scumbag?

"I know, Mom~"

A few seconds after she finished shouting, Aine's response came from upstairs, and judging from the tone of her voice, the problem was most likely resolved.

Not to mention that when Aine's mother took off her apron and hung it on the wall hook next to the refrigerator, the two conjoined twins had already walked down holding hands.

Tut tut...

"Let's eat. I made a lot of dishes for Ayano today that you have always loved since you were a child."

"Thank you, Auntie. I really need to find more excuses to visit Aine next time."

Although she didn't praise it openly, her mother was obviously very pleased and her eyes looking at Ayano were full of joy. Aine was speechless again.

Because Ayano had already changed into her own socks, she was able to succeed this time and pinched Ayano's thigh.

Looking at Ayano who showed no expression or reaction at all, Aine even thought that she had pinched the wrong person.

This guy... is really hateful.

"Ayano, Aine didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"

"mom!"

“No, no, actually, this time I didn’t consider Aine’s thoughts.”

"See? This isn't my fault." Aine took the opportunity to interject.

"Eat your meal well, and don't interrupt when adults are talking."

"……what?"

Aine felt that she surrendered too quickly. If she had known that her status at home would become so low with Ayano around, she should have held on a little longer.

But until now, Aine still didn't quite understand Ayano's reaction after she answered that question.

But no matter what, Aine did think about this matter seriously. Although Ayano had no exposure to music, no one stipulated that it would be difficult for her to learn, right?

And not to mention Ayano's side, her level is indeed half-baked.

One reason is that I've become rusty after not playing for a while, and the other is that I didn't put much effort into improving my technique before, so learning difficult pieces is also a problem.

Aiyin, who was eating silently, also thought carefully about what Ayano had done to her today.

The words that were said.

It seemed that the facts were indeed as Ayano said. There were many times when she had clearly given up, but Ayano always encouraged her. Even when she got angry and smashed the piano, Ayano did not ignore her.

Or... just believe in yourself and let Ayano see your strength tonight?

After one hour.

Feeling the unbearable pain in her left finger, Aine looked at Ayano, who was resting leisurely on her bed beside her, and she made a decisive choice...

"Ahhh, let's talk about practice tomorrow!

Ayano, please give me some space, I have no place to sleep!"

It's not her fault. With such a good opportunity, she didn't cuddle up with Ayano and sleep, but instead practiced guitar? Isn't this treasonous?!

Chapter 47 Ayano, what is your dark history? (9 more)

"Is this where the finger should be placed?"

"Yeah, Ayano, use a little more force, don't let go, right... hold this with your little finger, and then fiddle with it with your right hand and it will make a sound."

"Let me try... huh? Why don't you make any sound?"

"I make... no, what sound do I make? It's the guitar that makes the sound!"

Aine felt like she was being molested. She had all the evidence, but it seemed like there was no one like Master Qingtang to speak up for her. The only person here who was usually reasonable had abandoned his own daughter and stood by Ayano.

But...it's really fun to watch Ayano trying to play the guitar little by little under my instruction.

Everyone likes to be a teacher. If not, it must be because they have met a stupid student who is so annoying.

Obviously, Ayano is not such a stupid student, and when she was teaching, Aine did find that what Ayano said before might not be a joke.

"Have you been studying music theory... Oh yes, Ayano, you mentioned to me before that you have a professional piano teacher."

In Aine's opinion, Ayano's family conditions are not bad. Since her parents can work abroad, they are definitely not a poor family. They are definitely willing to spend some money to find a private piano tutor for their child.
