……

at the same time.

"Hey, soyo~ Aren't you happy to see me back~"

"Hmph, I'm very understanding and generous, you know. I don't care about any high pressure! I can handle any criticism or scolding, you know? I won't hold a grudge against Riki! Hey, I'm pretty amazing, right?"

The fake smile that Nagasaki Motoyo forced onto her lips was so contorted that her face was almost twitching.

"Hahaha……"

Who on earth made this annoying and unwanted person come back on their own?

When Chihaya Aine saw that she hadn't received any comfort from Takamatsu Akari, and had run away in tears, she was secretly delighted and almost burst into laughter.

The three major obstacles to reviving Crychic have been eliminated today, and Lixi deserves the greatest credit!

In particular, although there were some concerns at the time that things might not be settled, when she saw that only one of the lights came back after the light went out to chase after them, it was completely settled. The revival of Crychic was now a certainty. She even wanted to crown herself and cheer for the success of her grand plan, Nagasaki Motoyo!

However, nothing could be more dramatic than this.

Nagasaki Motoyo was completely dumbfounded when she saw Chihaya Aine, with her little mouth pursed and looking all alone, sneaking back into the way of the others.

Nagasaki Motoyo instinctively looked at Riki, her expectant gaze fixed on him.

Charge forward again with your aggression, great Lixi!

"..." Nagasaki Motoyo asked Shiina Riki for help countless times, but the only response she received was Riki's motionless mouth, as if it had been sewn shut.

"?"

I was at a loss.

Su Shi widened her eyes, expressing her incomprehension. Back in Crychic, Shiina Tatsuki's aggression towards Yuna never stopped, okay? How come you suddenly become a good person with this pink-haired girl? Isn't this attitude jump a bit too abrupt?

You're not Shiina Ritsuki at all! Who are you? Give me back my aggressive Ritsuki!

Li Xi has fallen.

I don’t know what Deng said to Lixi, but since Chihaya Aine came back, although Lixi still lectures her, his tone has visibly become much gentler and more controlled.

This quickly turned Aine, who was initially a little apprehensive, back into her usual cheerful, pink-haired puppy self.

They're all so shameless, coming to Nagasaki Motoyo to curry favor.

What else could she do?

"Haha... You can still hold back after being lectured like that by Riki-chan. Aine-chan is really amazing. If I were treated like that, I would definitely give her a hard time."

Her fake smile was barely holding up.

"Huh? It's not that amazing, hehe..." If you're going to say that, could you please take off that proud and boastful expression on your face when you're being praised?

Just as Suze was about to give Chihaya Aine a bass riff, she heard Aine mutter to herself:

"Well, if it weren't for that guy, but... um, never mind, Aine-san is a very generous person, you know? But... should I call her Kamiya-kun?"

Volume 35: Chapter 35. Meddling in Others' Affairs - Rinrinko, Sea Tiger Explosive Fist - Riki

"Okay~ Time's up?"

When Ring's owner and waitress, Rinko Maji, came over to remind him of the time, Yu Kamiya took out his phone and checked it. He realized there were still a full thirty minutes until his reservation time, and he was immediately confused and puzzled.

When did Ring 9 become a tycoon store? It shouldn't be like this.

He immediately said, "We still have..."

However, before he could even finish speaking, Rinrinko hurriedly waved her hand vigorously, winking and shouting, completely drowning out his question: "Next time, I'll treat you and Riki to a free parfait! Please, it's really time!"

What is this doing?

Kamiya Yu was genuinely confused, but given the amicable deal they had made a year ago when he borrowed the practice room multiple times at Ring, and the fact that Riki was still working there, no matter how you looked at it, Rinrinko shouldn't be trying to take away the time he had paid for to use the practice room.

Of course, most importantly, Natsukawa Masuzu, who was already getting increasingly impatient, immediately started packing up the bass after Rinrinko announced that time was up. At this point, it would be pointless to take back the remaining thirty minutes.

Since that's the case, I can only do you a favor.

"That's enough for today, Kurokawa-kun."

He called to Kurokawa Akane to pack up the instruments, preparing to leave with Natsukawa Masuzu. Before leaving, Kamiya Yu glanced at the desserts and drinks he had brought in.

The mango mousse given to Akane Kurokawa had long since been happily devoured by her. However, the strawberry mousse given to Maryou Natsukawa, even though it had completely melted over the past few hours, remained untouched by her, as if she hadn't seen it at all.

It seems that Natsukawa Masuzu has a really big problem with him...

Thinking about all this, Kamiya Yu walked out of the practice room, and after arriving in the hall, he immediately understood why Rinrinko was so heartless in cutting back on his practice time.

"What does Ms. Rinrinko mean by asking us to wait here? Oh, could it be that she thinks I'm too cute and is going to give each of us a free drink? Lucky~"

"Huh? What are you thinking? This isn't a place for charity—Yu?! Cough cough!"

Lixi, Sushi, Deng, and Evil Pink Hair were all waiting here with their instruments on their backs. It was clear that their scheduled borrowing time had really ended. At this moment, Evil Pink Hair was shamelessly indulging in her pipe dream, but Lixi righteously refuted her evil idea of ​​getting something for nothing.

Li Xi is great, no need to say more.

However, upon seeing that they had also arrived, Lixi's serious demeanor immediately softened.

Is it because she has developed a natural, soft, and cute idol image in front of outsiders?

Yu looked at Rinrinko.

The moment the two bands met, Rinrinko had already made her escape, giving Riki an OK sign before disappearing without a trace.

"Yu, what a coincidence... It's time for you guys too." Li Xi seemed a little uncomfortable and turned her head slightly away.

She usually doesn't arrive for training this early, but considering that today is the new band's first team building activity, she wanted to get to know each other better before training, so she slept half an hour less than usual.

Unexpectedly, I ran into You at the same time.

Is this... telepathy?

Lixi shook her head quickly, looking flustered, as if she wanted to deny everything. Idiot, what kind of nonsense is she thinking about!

"Hmm, as expected of Riki, you still look very energetic after training." Kamiya Yu nodded with a light smile. "Tokyo too, and... Chihaya-san too."

So far.

There was no place for any particular person.

He was feeling wronged when he greeted the inherently evil pink-haired minotaur, gritting his teeth and swallowing his anger.

However, as long as it can anger Su Shi, who is so lucky that he is envious and jealous, any price is negotiable. After all, traitors are more hateful than the Imperial Army!

"hehe."

Nagasaki Motoyo gave a forced smile, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light as she looked at Kamiya Yu, as if she were planning how to kill him in the most painful way.

She finally managed to get Chihaya Aine, this tool, to be discarded automatically after she had served her purpose—although it was all thanks to Ritsuki, and she hadn't done anything, she still had to work hard.

However, all her hard work and meticulous planning for Crychic were directly ruined by that despicable guy, Yu Kamiya!

Even now, they deliberately ignore her!

Even that idiot pink-haired Chihaya Aine is more important than her? As expected, a traitor is a traitor, she doesn't even care about her past relationship with Crychic!

Adding the new grudge to the old hatred of having her steal Saki-chan from her, hmph, even if she were to tear Kamiya Yu to pieces, Saki-chan wouldn't be able to say a word!

Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes were sharp as knives.

While the nerdy girl, who was physically weak, made no attempt to hide her hostility, Kamiya Yu remained cheerful and responded with a gentle smile, the greatest form of contempt.

LOL. Su Shi is such a shut-in. Even if you stare at him or point a gun at him, his first concern won't be whether he gets shot in the head or heart, but whether Su Shi will be killed instantly by the recoil.

Chihaya Aine didn't notice any of Lixi and Sushi's little actions. The moment Kamiya Yu greeted her, she couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

She hadn't expected Kamiya Yu to think she'd forgiven him so quickly, so she was conflicted about how to say it. But since he was the one who took the initiative to make amends, it wouldn't make her seem easy to bully or forgiving, right? That should be fine, right? Hmm!

"Um, what a coincidence, Kurokawa-kun, Natsukawa-kun, um, and..." Aine said with a grin, "Kamiya-kun?"

"Kamiya-kun?!" Riki's pupils contracted sharply. "When?"

Not to mention Lixi, even Deng and Su Shi were stunned. How could the way Aine and You Na disliked each other so much change so drastically just because of a comforting gesture?

"what?"

Not to mention them, even Kamiya Yu himself was stunned.

What's the situation?

Back in the afternoon, wasn't this wicked pink-haired girl, who was not only ten times less attractive than Xiangbao, but also a hundred times less attractive in personality and a thousand times less attractive in taste, filled with grief and indignation because she had seen Xiangbao's panties completely against her will?

Is this pink-haired guy... suffering from amnesia?

Before Kamiya Yu could delve deeper, Natsukawa Masuzu, with an indifferent expression on her pretty face, ignored everyone and strode off on her own, too lazy to watch their pleasantries, determined to leave on her own.

Seeing this, Kamiya Yuya had no choice but to disregard even Riki, nod, and immediately take Kurokawa Akane and hurriedly follow Natsukawa Masaki.

What he didn't see was that Li Xi, who was standing still and witnessing this scene, had her face, which was originally slightly red, turn completely black at this moment!

Volume 36: Chapter 36. Xiangzi: You're even scarier than Su Shi.

That night.

What exactly caused the error?

Sitting in his living room, in front of the drum set, gently stroking the drumhead with one hand, Yu Kamiya furrowed his brow and began to review his actions of the day.

First of all, it can be confirmed that when she was initially used as a pawn to deal with Sue and Chihaya Aine, Natsukawa Masuzu did not have the slightest reluctance. She was quite willing and even enjoyed it. She knew that she was being used, but she did not care.

However, when she whispered in his ear, Lixi and the others, who were standing up for Xiangzi, revealed terrifying looks. From that moment on, everything changed dramatically.

From that moment on, Natsukawa Masuzu developed an unexpectedly fierce competitive spirit. At that time, in order to anger Riki and the others, she even deliberately hugged his hand. However, after going to the practice room, her act of swatting away the scent of Kamiya Yu proved that Natsukawa Masuzu was definitely not a slut and was essentially a good girl who kept herself pure.

From all of this, it seems that nothing can be seen yet... But, if we add to what happened after he was called away by Akari to comfort Chihaya Aine, and then Natsukawa Masaki's sarcastic question, "Did you have fun with your ex-lover Akari and your new love Chihaya Aine?"... it seems that we can grasp some key points in the dark.

"Is it the romantic relationship that she cares about?"

Muttering to himself, Kamiya Yu's eyes flashed, and suddenly he realized that he had finally found a complete solution!

Yes, from a stranger's perspective, seeing the reactions of Lixi and the other two, one would certainly not think that Lixi and the others were speaking up for Xiangzi, but would think that Lixi, Su Shi, and Deng all liked him, Kamiya Yu, in addition to the scattered information about the band's disbandment.

Putting these two situations together, Natsukawa Masuzu would naturally assume that the band's disbandment was caused by Kamiya Yu's entanglement with three girls at the same time and his unhealthy relationships with men and women in Crychic.

Then, even after forming a new band, he still chose two incredibly beautiful girls.

She even went so far as to peek at Chihaya Aine's panties.

Once you have a preconceived notion and put all these circumstances together, a hypocritical scumbag will immediately come to mind.
