In the music series, the male protagonist writes a self-help manual for the inner world

Of course, there are also ordinary guitarists like Chihaya Aine who like to play in a light-hearted high school band.

In fact, there is another way to solve the conflict between Chihaya Aine and Shiina Tatsuki.

That is if Chihaya Aine could be a super guitar vocalist who made a perfect debut like Sankaku Hatsuka, or even bring out the spirit that Sankaku Hatsuka used to become a professional.

Maybe the conflict between them wouldn't be so great.

But Chen Xinghua never thought about this matter.

Because he subconsciously felt that it would be very stressful to let Aine, who originally just wanted to play entertainment games, play in professional games.

Besides, she has neither shown any intention to play professionally nor any talent or strength to do so.

Chapter 113 The places that I once took for granted have disappeared.

"Good to hear."

Chihaya Aine put her fingers together, her face full of admiration, "Besides, whether it's Miss Mana or Miss Sankaku Hatsuka, they are both super cute idols."

"It's quite remarkable that he debuted since junior high school."

Chen Xinghua chatted with Chihaya Aine in a casual manner.

What were they doing when they debuted?

…I’m writing about a peach-eating harem toilet paper in another world, so that’s fine.

As Chihaya Aine and Chen Xinghua gradually approached the parking lot, the volume of the guitar sound, which was sometimes melodious, sometimes excited, and in short, the tune changed randomly according to the guitarist's temperament, became louder and louder.

The figure of the short white-haired guitarist gradually appeared in the sight of Chen Xinghua and Chihaya Aine.

"Uh huh huh..."

Sitting on the ground in the parking lot, casually plucking the guitar strings, Yao Lenai hummed the self-composed lyrics that only had a melody but no real meaning.

Chihaya Aine walked quickly to Kaname Rana's side, bent down, and looked at Rana with a rather curious look.

"Lena, what are you doing? Are you playing the guitar?"

Whether it is Chihaya Aine or "Chihaya Aine", they seem to have never truly understood Rakuna.

"Um……"

Kaname Lenai nodded.

"Lena."

Chen Xinghua stroked the black bangs on his forehead because he saw a green leaf stuck tightly on Yao Lenai's bangs.

"Here... the leaves are stuck."

"Correct."

Kaname leaned back and leaned on the fence erected behind him.

Reaching out to pick the leaves off Lenai's bangs, Chihaya Aine said helplessly, "Lena, I think what he just said was to take the leaves off your forehead."

Kaname nodded, showing no intention of removing the leaves stuck on her forehead.

"okay."

Like a stray cat that doesn't know how to take care of itself, this thought came to Chihaya Aine's mind.

"Why is little Lenai here playing guitar?"

Chihaya Aine's tone was very calm.

Yao Lenai raised his head and looked at the familiar building in the distance that was gradually covered with green ivy.

"It's always been like this... until this place is locked, every day."

"Playing guitar in the parking lot?"

Chen Xinghua was no longer surprised by Yao Lenai's strange behavior.

Kaname raised his head and retorted, "It wasn't before... It's a place I stayed in for a long time."

"…This used to be SPACE."

This is not a coin-operated parking lot.

"Sounds like a name I've heard of Live huose."

Chihaya Aine tried hard to dig out relevant memories from her mind, "Do you miss Lena-chan?"

"Yes...but SPACE has become a coin-operated parking lot."

Kaname Lenai showed a rare feeling of loss, "The place I used to play in was as common as breathing."

“…a place I once took for granted.”

“…disappeared.”

I understand. Lenai is reminiscing about the things in the past that have passed away. Chen Xinghua raised his right hand and then put it down naturally.

It's like people who have moved to other places still miss their hometown.

"Why don't you try to find a new space?"

It is difficult to recover what has been lost. Although it is painful, sometimes people have to accept this cruel reality.

It’s like it’s difficult for people who have migrated to other places to settle down again... After all, if they can easily return to their hometown, why would they be forced to leave their hometown and migrate to other places?

Under the pressure of reality, people can only adapt to their new hometown as much as possible after migration.

"...I mean, why don't you find a new place where you can play guitar... and have the same SPACE atmosphere you want."

As if afraid that Lenai wouldn't understand, Chen Xinghua added another sentence.

Kaname Lenai lowered her head and fell into deep thought.

After SPACE was demolished, the domestic cats lost their homes and became stray cats. They could only drag their small luggage containing all their belongings and embark on an unknown journey to find a new home.

That's why she was attracted by Deng's declaration of a lifetime.

Because the stray cat who longs for a home does not know how to build a warm home that will not be accidentally demolished, she can only look for someone who can build a warm home, and that person must leave a small cat bed in this home for her that can accommodate her and her guitar.

...Of course, it would be even better if a sufficient amount of matcha parfait could be provided regularly every day.

"Matcha parfait after practice... we haven't achieved that yet today."

Yao Lenai stood up and stretched out her little hand to pull the corner of Chen Xinghua's clothes.

This was an agreement she had made with Chen Xinghua a few days ago, that they could have matcha parfait when they came to the Live.

"You admitted it."

Is little Lena longing for a home? She's a bit like me, Chihaya Aine couldn't help but think so.

"But you ran away without telling us today. How can I treat you?"

Chen Xinghua showed a helpless expression on his face.

"understood."

Kaname nodded, "Next time... I'll take you with me."

Since she ran away secretly without telling Chen Xinghua, she couldn't let him treat her to a Matcha Buffet.

Then next time you run away, can't you just drag him along with you?

This way he can treat himself to a matcha parfait.

Want Lenai to feel that he is very smart.

Chen Xinghua sighed deeply, but Lenai's train of thought was still as unpredictable as ever.

"Little Lenai..."

Chihaya Aion took Kaname Rakuna's slender arm, causing the latter to turn around and look at Chihaya Aion with a puzzled look.

Chihaya Aine took a deep breath and said, "Why don't you drag me along to run away?"

"Run together?"

Kaname Rakuna tilted her head, trying to understand the meaning of Chihaya Aine's words.

Then she finally thought she understood what Chihaya Aine meant. They wanted to run together, right?

"Well...start running."

"That's not what I meant. You two, at least wait until practice is over before you leave."

Chen Xinghua reached into his pocket as he spoke, estimating the thickness of the bills between his fingers and guessing how many more cups of matcha parfait he could still buy Lenai.

Eh...it's enough to make this little greedy cat die of overeating.

"Sneaking off before practice is even over is so disrespectful."

"At least say hello before running away."

With his index finger placed on his lips, Yao Lenai felt that what Chen Xinghua said made sense.

So next time you sneak out, say hello.

"Three cups of matcha parfait."

Chapter 114 Personality.

As the stars rose from the other side of the sky, the time in the city was also advanced into night.

However, Chen Xinghua, who had finished most of his work for the day, did not take the tram back home immediately. Instead, he walked back to RING along the same route.

Because a blue-haired band member sent him a distress signal.

Place the lit phone screen in front of you so that your eyes can quickly scan the information on it.

"Please, I'm out of money and have been eating nothing but weed lately. I'm almost exhausted."

"I just saw that this coffee shop has a new product. Can you lend it to me again?"

"I'll return it to you as soon as the manager pays you the next salary."

The repayment date will probably be postponed to next month... or summer vacation?

Let’s talk to Hongxia later, so that at least Liang can pay the money back on time when he gets his salary next month.

For Chen Xinghua, it was okay to use the money to treat Liang to a meal, since they were all members of the same band. However, it was absolutely unacceptable if Liang borrowed the money and didn't pay it back.

Putting the phone in his pocket and pushing open the door of the coffee shop, Chen Xinghua then raised his head and looked around for the girl with short blue hair.

"Xinghua, this way."

Liang waved towards Chen Xinghua.

After walking to the seat next to Liang and sitting down, Chen Xinghua looked at Liang and let out a breath full of helplessness.

Are you still eating curry?

But I have to say that the way Liang chews curry looks a bit like a neutral and beautiful girl. Her skin is almost as white as Ichiri who has been staying at home and not going out to bask in the sun. How did she do it?

Liang grabbed a tissue and wiped the curry off the corner of his mouth.

“I think you are a very realistic person.”

"Hmm... then what, how do you plan to pay me back, Ryo-senpai?"

Chen Xinghua deliberately emphasized the word "Senior Liang".

"He doesn't look like a rock musician at all."

Liang said something that seemed to be trying to change the subject, "Have I told you before? Actually, before I ended the band, I had another experience in a band."

"I never said that."

Chen Xinghua shook his head.

"Before the second Live, I want to have a serious talk with you."

Liang said this seriously, and he really didn't look like he wanted to borrow money from Chen Xinghua.
