Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Looking at Arakawa Kirika's hand, which was already starting to scab over, Toyokawa Shoko couldn't help but sigh.

She was truly astonished by the terrifying speed at which Arakawa Kirika's wounds healed.

Could this person be different from normal humans on a biological level?

However... even if the other person's wounds have begun to heal, my actions are not meaningless, after all, there are still many places where blood is slightly seeping out.

She poured a little alcohol onto the medical gauze and then said softly.

"I need to disinfect the wound first...it will hurt a lot."

As he spoke, Xiangzi began to work with his hands.

While performing the actions, he was also carefully observing the other person's reaction.

However, she was overthinking it. Throughout the entire disinfection and application process, Arakawa Kirika did not react at all. Even when alcohol was dripped into the wound, her hand did not tremble in the slightest, as if she could not feel any pain at all.

Arakawa Kirika simply closed her eyes silently, seemingly lost in thought.

I see……

Toyokawa Shoko suddenly realized something; she felt that she seemed to understand something about the truth of "Arakawa Kirika".

How can someone who doesn't even care about their own injuries be expected to understand and empathize with the pain of others?

That's why she's so domineering, wicked, and ruthless.

Although Toyokawa Shoko felt that she had grasped something, ... in her current position, there was nothing she could do.

In the end, she could only sigh and put the used medical supplies back into the medicine box.

At this moment, Arakawa Kirika finally opened her eyes.

"You've wasted enough time."

These words, spoken by Arakawa Kirika, sounded exactly like a warning.

Her tone was very impatient, and she finally stopped calling Toyokawa Shoko "Toyokawa-kun"... because too many things had been accumulating to upset her today.

Toyokawa Shoko remained silent, knowing full well that her good intentions would never be rewarded.

But when her inner speculations became reality, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

So she wanted to skip the current conversation and get straight to the point.

"I came here today because I wanted to..."

"and many more."

It was another abrupt interruption.

Toyokawa Shoko fell silent instantly, and then waited.

“Before we begin our formal conversation, I think… you need to apologize to me.”

Arakawa Kirika said coldly. (零$夢一er_令侕〇'寺)

ha?

This sentence completely disrupted Toyokawa Shoko's train of thought, and made her forget all the prepared remarks.

Apologize……

Toyokawa Shoko gripped her skirt tightly.

She didn't think she had done anything that required her to apologize to Arakawa Kirika... Just minutes before, she had been worried about Arakawa Kirika's injuries and had been carefully bandaging her wounds.

She had done so many terrible things to me; she was the one who should have owed me the debt.

In the end... it was actually himself who had to apologize?

This cannot be simply described as "ingratitude".

This was so absurd that she couldn't find a single suitable word to describe it.

She desperately wanted to yell angrily at the other person for being inhuman... but she couldn't.

"Why……"

What she really wanted to say was, "Why should I?"

But in the end, he could only suppress his anger and squeeze out a question full of resentment.

She needs to know exactly what she needs to apologize for.

"Of course it's because you dared to refuse my invitation."

Arakawa Kirika's tone was devoid of any emotion, and her bloodthirsty vertical pupils were fixed on Shoko, as if she wanted to pierce through her body.

invite……

Xiangzi remembered.

On the very day she dropped out of school, this person in front of her did indeed ask her that question.

Would you like to be my maid?

Just because of this?!

Xiangzi never expected that this person would hold a grudge until now.

What dynasty did this tyrant come from?

Despite his immense resentment, Xiangzi stood up, and then...

She bowed deeply to Arakawa Kirika at a 90-degree angle.

"I am deeply sorry for daring to refuse your invitation."

With her head bowed, Toyokawa Shoko's long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, perfectly concealing her face, which was contorted with pain.

If she could, she would rather grit her teeth and break than bow down to the person in front of her.

After apologizing, she straightened up and fantasized that the tyrant in front of her could satisfy her desires.

Please don't leave any more scars on my heart.

Volume 1: Chapter 10 Moonlight

Seeing Toyokawa Shoko's humble appearance, Arakawa Kirika simply nodded slightly.

"Very good, but not enough."

not enough……

Toyokawa Shoko's heart leaped into her throat again. She wondered what tricks the tyrant in front of her had come up with this time to trample on her dignity.

"So, may I ask... what exactly is it that you're dissatisfied with?"

Toyokawa Shoko's hands were clenched tightly, and her body trembled slightly.

“Sincerity. I can’t feel any sincerity from you at all. Do you really recognize your mistakes from the bottom of your heart?”

Arakawa Kirika leaned back on the sofa and touched her hand, which was wrapped up like a dumpling. As a young lady from a wealthy family, Shoko had no experience in treating wounds, so she simply wrapped her hand up in a ball.

……

Recognizing one's mistakes? And it has to come from the heart?

That's impossible.

Toyokawa Shoko never felt that she had done anything wrong, and her apology was merely a perfunctory gesture.

"So... how exactly does one show sincerity?"

He clenched his teeth.

Toyokawa Shoko's emotions were on the verge of collapse, and she was trying her best to control herself from doing anything inappropriate.

"Hey……"

He didn't even glance at Xiangzi, his attention completely focused on the Arakawa Kirika in his hand, and sighed as if he were very disappointed.

Arakawa Kirika lowered her hand, then looked up at Shoko and said coldly.

"I remember this country has a unique way of expressing the deepest apology, and using that might make me feel better."

Xiangzi quickly understood what was happening, and at the same time, her body became increasingly unsteady.

A more respectful apology than a 90-degree bow...

No matter how you look at it, there's only one left, right?

【Toshita seat】

Such a prostration posture is only used to apologize when expressing the utmost humility and deference.

Toyokawa Shoko clearly hadn't expected... that the other party had such intentions.

What the other party wants is not just to trample on her dignity, but to truly shatter it and make her feel utterly ashamed.

Finally, she could no longer maintain her last remaining, fragile self-esteem.

She burst into tears in front of the person she hated most.

A tear welled up in his eye, slowly slid down Xiangzi's cheek, and then fell to the ground, shattering into pieces.

It was as if a valve had been opened; after the first tear fell to the ground, a torrent of floodwaters followed.

So heartbroken, she even forgot to maintain her ladylike demeanor.

She didn't open her bag or take out tissues to wipe her tears.

Her poise and elegance vanished like bubbles.

She could only keep wiping her eyes with her hands, but today her tears seemed to flow endlessly.

What a nice view……

Arakawa Kirika was mesmerized.

She was not angry at Toyokawa Shoko's crying, nor did she feel any sympathy whatsoever.

Looking at the scene before her, she could only sigh at the beauty.

In order to fully enjoy the moment, Arakawa Kirika did not make a sound to disturb her.

There was no further pressure, but neither was any tenderness shown.
