A band simulator, but all girl-heavy!

Chapter 1 is probably Aine’s personal reply: Are there few lesbians in Japan?

London's West End is a place where history and modernity blend together. It has accumulated a cultural atmosphere since the Victorian era and is also filled with the benefits brought by the technological explosion of the 21st century. Walking on the streets of the West End, it seems as if you can see British ladies wearing Victorian skirts and lady hats walking through the streets, and you can also see young people under the banner of the British rock revival running on the streets with guitars on their backs and skateboards on their feet.

The profound culture of this country is concentrated here, showing an extremely unique atmosphere. Even the ordinary sunlight illuminating the intricate patterns of the retro buildings and the graffiti on the streets all show the British style.

On this rare day off, Saotome Aoi and Chihaya Aine decided to spend a leisurely afternoon here. Both fashion enthusiasts, they were eager to explore the West End's clothing stores, yearning for their own understanding of British fashion and the still-uncovered mysteries of London's neighborhoods. Since living together, their bond has grown stronger. Aine, who had suggested showing Aoi around London, naturally led her to this historic area and volunteered to add a few pieces to her wardrobe.

The sunlight shines through the gaps between the high-rise buildings, then through the mottled branches of the trees on the street, and falls on Oxford Street and on the relaxed and happy smiles of the girls.

Saotome Aoi and Chihaya Aine walked hand in hand in this busy pedestrian street.

"Aine, are you looking forward to shopping today?"

Aoi asked as she walked, her eyes wandering between the windows on both sides of the street.

“Of course I look forward to it. The West End always has the latest fashion items.”

Aine answered, her eyes unconsciously stole glances at Aoi from the corner of her eyes.

Today, Aoi was wearing an ordinary beige shirt paired with a plaid pleated skirt. Her beige hair was tied into two quiet low ponytails at the back of her head. The katakana "Kawaii" on her chest formed an inflated arc because of the expansion of the fabric. Although she was dressed very simply and elegantly, she was quite eye-catching on the street, as if she had just arrived and had become a beautiful scenery in this neighborhood.

As expected, as long as she is with Xiaokui, her mood will be as bright as the sun...

"Besides, I'm very confident in my fashion sense, so don't worry, Xiaokui!"

Seeing Aoi like this, Aine couldn't help but raise her voice a little, and boasted with a bright smile.

Just like that, the two chatted and laughed as they walked through the bustling streets until they arrived at the entrance of Oxford Street, where tourists and locals from all over the world gathered, singing and dancing on the streets, taking photos, and doing street performance art. Everyone was here looking for their own art and fashion treasures.

The two people walked through the streets with great interest, feeling the rich street culture of London, and their eyes were quickly attracted by the beautiful scenery.

The first thing they saw was an exquisitely decorated clothing store. The window displayed the season's popular clothing, which was colorful and novel in design.

"Look at that dress, it suits you so well, Aoi."

Aine walked into the store excitedly, pointing at a well-tailored black dress.

"Really? Hmm~why don't you give it a try..."

Aoi had a thoughtful look on her face as she carefully examined the little skirt, seemingly oblivious to the expectant gaze of Aine beside her. She smiled nonchalantly and said, "I guess not after all~"

"Eh?!"

The word 'disappointment' was practically written on Aine's face.

"So~Aine, do you want to see me wearing it?"

Aoi playfully picked up the little skirt and held it close to her body. The smile on her face was like that of a little devil tempting humans to fall. Although she was evil, she had a beauty that was irresistible.

Under the gaze of those emerald eyes and that flawless smile, Aine still fell for him.

"Look, look! I want to see it! I really want to see it!"

Aine answered loudly, nodding her head vigorously.

"Honest child, then give it a try!"

Aoi's smile suddenly became charming. She gently tapped Aine's forehead, took the black dress, and walked towards the fitting room.

Aine stared at the tightly closed door and swallowed subconsciously, but quickly looked away and pretended to be calm as she continued browsing in the store, pretending to look at a pink printed dress.

"Aine~"

As the door of the fitting room was pushed open, Aoi's figure appeared in sight.

That everyday dress obviously absorbed a lot of European-style fashion dress experience. Although it was a low-cut style, it added a high collar made of translucent black gauze, covering Aoi's slender neck, beautiful collarbone, and fair skin under the transparent fabric, but the shape and color could still be vaguely seen.

The starting point of the ravine formed by the towering and undulating chest disappears into the low-cut fabric. The perfect waist gathering and long skirt make the dress full of light and floating charm, like an elegant princess who is the center of the dance floor under the moonlight.

Staring at the girl in front of her, Aine was stunned for a moment, not even knowing what to say. She just stared at Aoi blankly.

“…Aine, please say something…”

After a moment, she finally came back to her senses from Aoi's dissatisfied voice. The girl in front of her blushed for some reason and turned her head away as if embarrassed. She seemed to be very shy under Aine's gaze: "Why are you just looking at me and not saying anything...!"

"It was so beautiful that I forgot to speak for a moment...!"

Aiyin quickly explained, a silly smile on her face: "It really suits you perfectly, doesn't it? It looks so good, I can't wait to hug Xiaokui and rub her right now!"

"It's not that exaggerated~"

Aoi spun around in front of the mirror, her skirt fluttering like a flower. The smile on her face became more and more comfortable. She turned back to look at Aine: "It's really okay~ Anyway, Aine, you should try it too."

"Ah! Great~ Let me show you my fashion skills!"

After saying that, Aiyin immediately chose a red printed dress and went into the fitting room. When she pushed the door open and came out, the ordinary student girl had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a young girl dancing in the flower field.

The style of this dress is not as unique as Aoi's, but this simple style matched with beautiful prints is the essence of this type of clothing. With the excellent fabric and tailoring, Aine looks full of youthful and beautiful charm.

The only flaw is that this dress needs a little bit of fullness to hold it up, but Aine clearly lacks that.

"Aine~"

Aoi approached and hugged Aine affectionately, pressing her cheek against hers, rubbing against her gently, praising her non-stop: "You're so cute~ A spring fairy! How can you be so cute~ Let me rub against you, let me rub against you..."

"Xiao-Xiao Kui~!!"

Even someone as lively as Aine didn't expect Aoi's behavior to be so intimate. Her cheeks suddenly became hot. She wanted to struggle but couldn't bear to do so. She wanted to enjoy it but felt a little embarrassed. She could only stiffly feel the soft touch of Aoi's cheek.

Moreover, when they hugged each other intimately, you could clearly see the admiring looks from the shop assistants beside them, as well as their auntie smiles as they were impressed by the couple.

"...These two girls look like they have Asian faces, which is great."

"Do Asian girls also wear lace? I thought there would be very few..."

"I heard there are a lot of lace in Japan. These two girls seem to be from Japan."

"How sweet..."

Hearing these words, Aine felt her cheeks getting even hotter.

After leaving this clothing store, the two of them went to many other shops on this street and tried on many sets of clothes. Each piece had a different style and feel. There were so many choices and they were all very diverse. Choosing clothes is a very time-consuming activity for girls, let alone girls like them who love beauty and are very delicate.

As they walked along, they were already carrying many bags, large and small, picking out all kinds of clothes, accessories, and cosmetics...

The sun had already set in the western sky, faintly sinking into the city. A ray of setting sun shone through the tall buildings and onto the girls' tightly clasped hands.

"I'm so happy today."

Aoi smiled, and her voice was light, just like the wind blowing across West Street.

"Ah."

Aine nodded gently, her eyes filled with joy.

and……

She couldn't for some reason forget what the two female shop assistants said. In a sense, the words of the two British women were quite pertinent. In Japan, which has always been known for its politeness and sense of distance, Aine had never had such an intimate behavior with her same-sex friends. Aoi, who was born in Japan like her, would not be unaware of the sense of distance that everyone abided by in daily life.

So...what does Aoi think about 'things between girls'?

Aine wanted to know the answer, even though she thought the question was very strange - after all, she was not a lesbian, so what would it matter if she knew the result?

But, she inexplicably cared about the answer to this question, very much...

Chapter 1 is mostly Aine’s personal response: When will we get married?

Chihaya Aine was standing at the school gate, waiting for the person of her dreams.

From time to time, she looked inside the gate. The ancient and solemn school gate told of its long history. Whether it was the traces of erosion by time on the exquisite architectural carvings or the outline of the magnificent building standing here, they were all full of weight. Just looking at it could calm her heart.

This would definitely be the case under normal circumstances, but today, her heart was filled with restless emotions and she couldn't calm down at all.

Today is a date.

It was her date with Aoi.

This weekend, Aoi invited her.

Invite her to hang out!

This was different from the usual outings, because usually it was Aine who took the initiative to invite Aoi out, but this was the first time Aoi had taken the initiative...

Thinking of this, Aine's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken, and her mouth even became dry. It felt like a deer was frantically beating around in her chest, making it difficult for her to calm down.

I still remember that day when Kui said to her with a smile: "Let's go out for a walk together this weekend?"

Such a simple sentence, but in that instant, Aine felt as if the whole world had lit up, as if her gloomy life had reached a turning point, a chance to turn the tables in a losing game had appeared, and a bonfire had been lit in the dark tunnel...

She recalled Aoi's smile and her bright eyes that seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, making her feel warm and at ease. For London, the foggy city, Aoi was like the sun, constantly shining on her.

And now, the sun actually invites me to go out and play together!

This is so unbelievable, it's like a dream.

Although she didn't know what the joy of this seemingly unassuming thing was, sometimes you're just ecstatic over the little things. It's not the things themselves that matter, but the people who come to mind with those memories. Like when you were making paper airplanes with your friends in those still-hazy, carefree school days. You probably weren't happy about how far your airplane flew, but rather when that person's airplane landed on your desk, opened the paper, and saw "Let's go home together after school."

Yes, it's that simple.

Aiyin stood at the door, her palms slightly sweaty, and she nervously gripped the backpack strap.

She couldn't help but straighten her hair and looked at her clothes carefully. Although she was already dressed neatly, she couldn't help but check them again and again.

Although she didn't know why, perhaps she just wanted to show the best of herself to Aoi.

All kinds of fantasies emerged in her mind: If this date goes well, perhaps they will have more opportunities to go out together. They can walk along the Thames together, watch the sunset over London Bridge together, visit Buckingham Palace together... Maybe one day, Aoi will hold her hand and whisper those three words to her.

"What am I thinking? We're just friends. Yes, that's right, just friends!"

Aine's cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head and patted her cheeks, trying to calm herself down.

She thought that it might be because she was too lonely, and that something might have happened to her being alone in a foreign country, which was why she had such thoughts.

They are of the same sex...how can you think like that?

What's more, she doesn't know what Aoi is thinking...

"Aine~"

At this moment, a streak of beige hair appeared in the sunlight, flashing a faint light, and was walking towards the school gate.

Aoi is still as confident, calm and cute as ever. She walks briskly with the same smile on her face as always, and she greets classmates on the street in a friendly manner.

sparkling with light.

Aine looked at Aoi and felt that she was as lively and cute as a legendary fairy, bringing joy to those around her!

Aine felt a little nervous inside, she took a deep breath and took a step to greet Aoi.

"sunflower!"

Aine waved, a bright smile on her face.

Aoi looked at the smiling Aine in front of her and gave her a warm hug: "Aine, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Looking at that smile, Aine didn't feel that the waiting was torture, but rather the sweetest time, and meeting him at this moment was the best reward. So, she gently shook her head: "No, I just arrived not long ago."

Aine shook her head, and the excitement in her heart seemed to be conveyed through her smile.

"Then let's go!"

After Aoi finished speaking, he gently took Aine's hand and walked forward. Aine let him pull her like this, without even having to exert any strength. Like a kite, she followed behind him lightly.

The sun shines through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows on the two of them, quietly accompanying them and sending them to their destination for today.

……

On the street, people were coming and going. Feeling the noisy atmosphere and looking at the back of the person in front of her, Aine couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Why did Xiaokui invite me out today?"

This idea emerged from the bottom of her heart, and then began to take root in her mind, constantly growing, constantly teasing her, making her curiosity grow stronger and stronger.

It was like something, like a feather, was sliding madly across her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down.

She wanted to ask the other party, but seeing Xiaokui walking happily in front of her, like a bird dancing in the sun, she suppressed the question.

"Now, just look at Aoi's happy face."

Aine thought silently in her heart.

"Ah! There's a ramen restaurant here!"

Aoi suddenly shouted, pulling Aine forward. As she walked, she turned to Aine and said, "Let's go take a look. There seem to be some Asian faces!"
