Aspiring to be a girl in a band

But the lamp was well prepared, so it didn't panic.

The lamp took another deep breath.

"What is Wuhua thinking?"

Arakawa Kirika lowered her hand, revealing a thoughtful expression.

"As for me, I think I like the lamp too, but... Umbrella Linjiu Linqiwu Baqun... What kind of ending do you really want for the lamp?"

Arakawa Kirika moved closer, her body beginning to lean forward.

The two closed the distance between them rapidly, until their faces were almost touching.

"You want to... date me, but unfortunately... I currently have a... somewhat troublesome girlfriend, and I have no plans to break up with her for the time being."

Hearing Arakawa Kirika tell him in person that she has a girlfriend.

The light, however, did not react much.

Rather, she was relieved.

Because Arakawa Kirika said "there is one".

Originally, in the lamp's prediction, someone like Arakawa Kirika should have many lovers.

The lamp knew exactly what it was doing.

She was confessing her feelings to someone who was very likely to be dating multiple people at the same time.

But... well, what can you do when she's a mist flower?

"I... do not intend to become a burden to Wuhua."

"I just want to stay by Wuhua's side."

The lamp spoke slowly, then changed the subject.

“Recently… I haven’t been in good shape during band practice. Although Ai-yin and Su-shi have been comforting me, I know this can’t go on.”

"Lixi is really hardworking. She has no experience, but she is learning to compose from scratch. It's all for me."

"I've thought a lot about why I've become such a disappointing person."

"Gradually, I found the answer. That's why I confessed to Wuhua."

"Because I can't move forward if I don't convey this feeling, so I must tell Wuhua my feelings today."

The lamp sounded a little hurried, so after saying those words, it couldn't help but catch its breath.

Arakawa Kirika turned around and poured a cup of tea for the lamp.

Then he started thinking about the lamp.

She never imagined that she had unknowingly won the girl's heart.

but……

She doesn't even ask for a title, she just wants to stay by my side.

What a stupid decision.

Making such a request... makes it easy to get taken advantage of.

The red light in Arakawa Kirika's eyes trembled slightly.

After a while, she rubbed Deng's hair.

"Didn't I say I wouldn't abandon the lamp?"

"Um……"

The lamp nodded and took the initiative to place Arakawa Kirika's hand on her chest.

"I... will never betray Wuhua."

The lamp looked very serious, because to her, this was a true vow.

……

Deng walked out of the activity room, looking much more relaxed.

She was glad that she was able to clearly express her feelings.

But in his moment of relaxation, the lamp, with its head bowed, noticed something amiss.

She has always had a good focus.

So she squatted down.

I picked up a few... pink strands of hair from the ground by the door.

Who has pink hair... and who might be standing at the door of Arakawa Kirika's activity room...?

"Was Aine here just now......?"

Wouldn't that mean my confession was...?

Looking at the stairs leading downstairs... Deng was slightly lost in thought.

Volume 1: Chapter 101 A Chance Encounter

"Oh no... oh no..."

A pink figure hurriedly ran out of the Yuqiu School gate.

Aine returned because she was so curious as to why the lamp insisted on leaving first.

She first went back to the classroom, and then went to the astronomy department.

Neither of these two possible locations yielded any sign of the light, so she considered another possibility.

Did Toki go to find Arakawa-kun alone?

With this thought in mind, Aine arrived at the entrance of the Literature Club.

Looking at the tightly closed curtains, Ai Yin immediately had a bad feeling.

But feeling guilty, Aine didn't dare to knock on the door so abruptly.

So she could only quietly press her ear against the door.

Fortunately, Arakawa Kirika did not do any soundproofing work on the activity room door.

So Aine could still vaguely hear the conversation inside.

As the conversation between the two inside deepened...

The confusion in Aine's eyes gradually gave way to shock.

No... I have to run first.

Hearing such a shocking statement, Aine was afraid that her eavesdropping would be exposed, so she quickly fled the place.

After leaving Yuqiu.

Ai Yin looked somewhat forlorn. She moved her feet slowly, but seemed... unsure of where to go.

Aine didn't mean to blame the lamp.

In Aine's opinion, confessing one's feelings should naturally be done privately by one person at a suitable time, so it's not wrong for the lamp to deceive itself.

The mere thought of those two forming a much deeper relationship than hers made Aine feel inexplicably down.

"The lights have changed a bit... and they've changed really a bit."

Aine never expected that the light that had always hidden behind her and needed her care would actually walk so bravely ahead of her and do something that she herself would never dare to do.

Ai Yin walked through the crowd with a sour expression on her face.

Those ordinary passersby seemed to have become wandering ghosts in Aine's eyes at this moment.

So Aine avoided the crowded people and slipped into a small alley.

Aine stepped on an aluminum can, but she didn't even notice.

She stumbled slightly, not quite falling, but the remaining liquid from the can splashed onto her calves.

This made Aine very unhappy.

Fortunately, Aine always had tissues on hand, so she quickly wiped away the stains.

Aiyin squatted on the ground and repeatedly checked her calves to make sure there were no other stains before she prepared to get up.

However... a figure had already appeared in front of her without her noticing.

"Aiyin?"

Standing in front of Aine was Toyokawa Shoko.

The reason Xiangzi appeared in the alley was because... it was a convenient shortcut.

"Eh? Toyokawa... classmate?"

Ai Yin quickly stood up, her expression slightly embarrassed.

Despite this completely coincidental encounter, Aine felt no joy whatsoever.

The words of Deng's confession still echoed in her mind.

"Aine... what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Xiangzi noticed that Aiyin was in a low mood, so he took a small step forward and asked her with concern.

Ai Yin shook her head.

She's not just "unhappy" right now.

Aine's reason for feeling so lonely is that she feels... abandoned.

Before she could catch up, the lamp had once again left her far behind.

This sense of distance is the real reason why Aine feels uncomfortable.

Xiangzi squinted.

She could tell that the girl in front of her was putting on a brave face.

There's still some time before she goes to work, so there's no need for her to rush over.
