In music anime, band girls won't be alone.

"For a sixteen-year-old who's just started high school, isn't this a little too much...?"

She tried to make her smile look gentle and natural, then turned to look at the kitten with pure eyes.

"Haha... Excuse me, are you talking about me?"

Yoro nodded and repeated it seriously.

"The feeling of a mother."

Shiina Tatsuki immediately looked at her with a serious expression.

"Stray cat, please be quiet!"

Lena didn't respond; she just turned around and continued eating her matcha parfait.

Nagasaki Motoyo felt the April air was suddenly a bit hot, but she didn't say anything more. After taking a sip of tea, she looked at Shiina Tatsuki.

"I just went to apologize to Shirakawa-kun and had a chat with him for a while. I can say that I was very inspired."

"He seems more mature than his peers."

"I wonder if Lixi feels the same way?"

Upon hearing "Shirakawa-san," Rakuna turned to look at her again, her eyes filled with curiosity.

"Shirakawa?"

She remembered hearing this name from Shiina Tatsuki when Shirakawa Sawa came over a couple of days ago.

Then she looked at the girl behind the counter, her eyes filled with questions.

"That man?"

Shiina Tatsuki nodded.

"Yes, it's him."

Rakuna should immediately move closer to Nagasaki Motoyo.

"Let him come over."

"Play with me."

Nagasaki Motoyo didn't quite understand what she was saying, so she turned to look at Shiina Tatsuki.

The latter replied first.

"She wants you to call Shirakawa over."

Then he looked at Yao Lenai, his brows furrowing, his eyes filled with extreme pressure.

"Stray cat, I've told you before, don't call people over randomly, that's very impolite!"

Rakuna didn't respond, but continued to look at Nagasaki Motoyo.

stare--

Looking into the girl's pure and innocent eyes, and at her aura that unconsciously evoked feelings of tenderness, Nagasaki Motoyo sighed inwardly.

"What's wrong with this child...?"

Then he chose to surrender.

"I'm sorry, Shirakawa-kun."

She apologized in her heart while taking out her phone to send him a message.

"Shirakawa-kun, if you have time, could you come to RiNG? There's a silver-haired girl with heterochromia here who wants to see you."

Shirakawa had just finished dinner when he saw the message and knew that it was Rakuna who wanted to contact him. He was also a little curious about how the two of them got in touch. Did the cat also think that Nagasaki Motoyo was an interesting woman?

Suppressing his doubts, Shirakawa turned and walked towards RiNG.

Volume 1: Chapter 31 You, Married

Upon arriving on the second floor of RiNG, Shirakawa Sawa saw three familiar girls.

When they reached them, Nagasaki Motoyo spoke first, her face showing sincere apology.

"I'm sorry, Shirakawa-san. This girl seems to really want you to come, and she kept looking at me, so I... I took the liberty of sending you this message."

Shirakawa Sawa said it was okay.

If it were anyone else, he might need to think about it, but he could understand Nagasaki Motoyo's message instantly without having to think.

Nagasaki Sosei thanked her, then turned her gaze to Kaname, wanting to see what she wanted to see Shirakawa Sawa about.

Upon seeing Shirakawa Ze, Rakuna's eyes immediately lit up with joy. She jumped off her chair, moved close to him, and began to speak slowly with a happy expression.

“CD.”

Witnessing this moment, Nagasaki Motoyo felt as if her brain had been struck by lightning, and she couldn't react for a moment.

"Eh?!"

She blinked, trying to clear her mind and then help herself understand the situation.

"Why is this kid swearing at Shirakawa-kun with such a happy look on his face?"

"And the other party doesn't seem annoyed?"

Is this some kind of peculiar way the two of them communicate?

Upon seeing this, Shiina Tatsuki immediately understood that the child had definitely misunderstood what he had said earlier. He then looked at Kaname Rakuna with a stern tone.

“I told you before that ‘stray cat’ is a very impolite word and you shouldn’t say it to others.”

"The 'others' in this sentence include Shirakawa-kun, understand?"

You turned to look at her, a hint of doubt in your eyes.

When Shiina Ritsuki realized that the other person hadn't understood her words, she felt her blood pressure spike and immediately took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Upon hearing Shiina Tatsuki's words, Nagasaki Motoyo realized what was happening and understood the situation. She then looked calmly at Kaname Rakuna, her tone gentle and soothing.

"Well, that's how it is."

"If you want to play with Shirakawa-kun again, you can't say that word to him again."

“If you say that word to him again, he won’t play with you anymore.”

"Anyway, that word, Dame."

A look of realization dawned on Lena's eyes, and she nodded vigorously.

"No more."

Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and patted her head.

"What a good kid."

Yoro looked at her, then at Shirakawa, then took her hand with her right hand and the latter's with her left, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"You two, get married."

"Then I……"

Before the cat could finish speaking, it was interrupted by Shiina Tatsuki's urgent and terrified "oi!"

"Don't talk nonsense about stray cats!"

To prevent the situation from spiraling out of control, Shiina Tatsuki grabbed the cat and took her to her senior colleagues who also worked at the store, asking them to look after her.

Then she went behind the counter and looked at Shirakawa Sawa, who was already seated, and Nagasaki Motoyo, whose eyes were filled with shyness.

"Um, Shirakawa-san, Motoyo..."

"The child doesn't understand, he was just joking."

"You don't need to argue with her..."

Shirakawa Sawa smiled.

"I see."

Nagasaki Motoyo nodded, a polite but slightly embarrassed smile on her face.

“I know the kid was joking, haha.”

Compared to Rakuna's remarks, she was actually more concerned about Shiina Tatsuki's performance just now.

She knew very well that the other party's strong reaction was not because of her at all.

She glanced at Shirakawa Ze without showing any emotion, and a guess formed in her mind.

"Either Riki himself is interested in Shirakawa, or Tou-chan is interested in him."

"Judging from the current situation, it's most likely Deng Jiang."

"Tokyo-chan isn't the type to bring up things like this on her own initiative."

"So now everything is clear. It must have been on the day the three of them went out together that Riki realized that the relationship between Tou-chan and Shirakawa-kun was unusual."

After sorting out the information in front of her, Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes became completely calm, like the sea surface where no wind had passed.

Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Shiina Tatsuki nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Shirakawa Sawa got up to say goodbye and prepared to go back to practice his guitar.

"Shirakawa-kun!"

Shiina Tatsuki called out to his retreating figure.

Shirakawa turned to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

After hesitating for a moment, Shiina Tatsuki asked,
