Aspiring to be a girl in a band

"Is it... Arakawa Kirika?"

Lixi nodded.

"I only just realized it myself."

Is that so...?

Su Shi gave a bitter smile again, not expecting that her thoughts had been seen through long ago.

But it doesn't matter anyway.

Now, she probably doesn't care what happens.

"So, what are you planning to do?"

Su Shi asked Li hope.

Lixi's expression, however, was very serious.

"I just think...we're all terrible because we're all hiding our own ulterior motives."

Are they all terrible?

That's perfect.

Su Shi revealed the idea she had been preparing for a long time.

"Since everyone here is so incompetent, we definitely can't continue. Once Aine and the others arrive, we'll just..."

The company announced its dissolution.

Just as Su Shi was about to utter the last four words, Li hope interrupted her.

"No...that's not how it is."

Lixi shook his head vigorously.

"Although we all formed the band with our own purposes, I don't think we are incompatible. On the contrary, now that we've opened our hearts to each other, let's play this band game together and keep going."

Li hope's words startled Su Shi, but she immediately retorted.

"What is the meaning of this... /zero dream seven slip dad dirty private l`[iu gui qi?

Su Shi really couldn't understand Li hope's thoughts.

"Meaningful!"

Lixi shouted and rushed to Su Shi, grabbing one of her hands.

"Of course it's meaningful... Even if it's fake, even if it's a counterfeit, but... as long as you act for a lifetime, it's no different from the real thing, right? We're both equally bad, so of course we can go on together."

Li hope's words shocked Su Shi.

For the first time, she felt that the girl in front of her, with long, straight black hair and a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, was a complete stranger.

"You... you actually want to... be in a band for the rest of your life?"

Su Shi found it hard to believe.

Su Shi considered Deng's invitation to "form a band for life" to be as insignificant as air; she never intended to comply. But... Li hope in front of her was taking it to heart.

"Of course, because... I swore an oath to the lamp."

The thought of the lamp, that light that shines into my heart.

A smile unconsciously crept onto Li hope's lips.

"So... I'm begging you, Su Shi, please help me this once. I know you're a very capable person. If we all start to get serious now, it's not too late."

Li Xi released Su Shi's hand and then bowed deeply to her.

"No...don't do this."

Su Shi blushed slightly and turned her face away. She felt... uncomfortable with Li hope's overly serious attitude.

"I understand... I'll do my best until the live performance ends... I can't guarantee what will happen after that."

Su Shi quickly helped Li Xi straighten up.

Li hope was very happy when she heard Su Shi's words.

Although the other party did not make a promise of "a lifetime".

But Lixi knew very well that once you'd given in the first time, the second time would be much easier.

"Really... thank you so much."

To express her gratitude, Lixi put both hands on Su Shi's shoulders.

Su Shi blushed and quickly slapped Li hope's hand away.

Just then.

The practice room door was suddenly pushed open.

……

"Deng, didn't you say the band's current situation is not good? But it seems... rather ambiguous to me."

Arakawa Kirika looked at the two people in front of her with a mocking expression.

"Su Shi and Li hope?"

The lamp tilted its head and blinked dryly, seemingly not quite understanding the situation before it.

Su Shi and Li hope usually don't talk much in the band, but today... why do they seem to be getting along so well?

"What happened?"

Ai Yin was also completely bewildered.

"interesting."

Hidden behind Arakawa Kirika, Rakuna kept scrutinizing the two people in front of her with a malicious gaze.

The group walked together into the practice room.

"Why did you all suddenly come together? And why is an outsider here?"

Li hope quickly changed the subject, while timidly giving Arakawa Kirika a glare.

"Because...it was the lamp that invited me here?"

Arakawa Kirika lightly tapped her lips twice with her fingers.

Why is it a question?

Ai asked curiously.

Aine did not come with Arakawa Kirika and the others.

We just bumped into each other at the entrance of the ring.

After saying goodbye to Xiangzi, she rushed to the practice room immediately.

After all... I knew I had practice today, but I still wasted a lot of time because of my mood, so I always feel guilty.

Arakawa Kirika got together with Akari, while Ryuna was caught in a park on the way.

"So... Little Lamp, why did you invite her..."

Su Shi hesitated for a moment before speaking.

She had promised Lixi she would stay until the live show ended, so she temporarily reverted to being a caring older sister.

The reason she hesitated to speak was...

She didn't know what to call Arakawa Kirika.

Should I call him President, Arakawa-kun, or Kirika?

But I always felt that, given her status, no matter what she was called, it didn't quite feel right.

As for calling someone by their full name, she would dare not do that.

"Hmm? Miss Su Shi's memory seems to need improvement. I suggest she take more vitamins."

Arakawa Kirika covered her mouth, trying not to laugh.

Looking at Su Shi's cautious and timid demeanor when facing him, as if she were afraid of offending him.

She just found it extremely funny.

Fortunately, the lamp saved Su Shi from her predicament.

“The band isn’t doing too well… so I’m hoping that Mistflower can help me.”

The lantern explained why it had brought Arakawa Kirika here.

But... Lixi had a new question.

"Huh? What... what can she do to help?"

Ignoring Riki's words, Lamp turned and exchanged a glance with Arakawa Kirika.

"Mist Flower will definitely be of help... because Mist Flower is a special existence."

Instead of giving a reason, the lamp showed its unconditional trust in Arakawa Kirika.

……

Lixi's smile froze in the air.

She could clearly see the contentment on Arakawa Kirika's face, and the allure in Toki's eyes that she had never shown to her before.

In that instant, she realized just how utterly she had lost.

(PS: As the saying goes, a pairing can be unpopular, but it can't be weird, so I'll ship Su-hope for a second.)

Volume 1: Chapter 105 The Judges Enter

Under everyone's gaze, Arakawa Kirika casually dragged a chair over and sat down in the center of the practice room.

"Hmm... Although I am indeed naturally beautiful, I still get shy when you stare at me like this."

Arakawa Kirika feigned shyness by pulling up her collar to cover half of her face.

Regarding Arakawa Kirika's acting skills, what is the general public's attitude...?
