Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Page 109

Su Shi felt a chill run down his spine.

Li hope's mouth twitched.

Cats that imitate others.

Ai Yin's eyes darted around.

And lamps that are obsessed with beauty.

"So...cute..."

The lamp's eyes widened, and it let out a soft murmur.

Although everyone present, including the lamp, could see that the coquettish demeanor with lowered eyes was entirely Arakawa Kirika's performance.

But I still really like the lamp.

Just as Deng was about to take out his phone to record the moment.

Arakawa Kirika's performance ended, and things returned to normal.

This filled the lamp's expression with regret.

"What exactly are you here for?"

Li hope rubbed her forehead and gave Arakawa Kirika a disgruntled look.

"Of course I'm here to help you practice. It's because Deng said you guys lack cohesion right now and insisted that I get involved."

lamp……

Since Arakawa Kirika said it was the light's doing, Riki had no reason to drive Arakawa Kirika away, but... she still couldn't understand what Arakawa Kirika could actually do.

Could she be an expert in music theory, able to guide everyone in their practice?

But even so...

Why would she be so kind?

A strange sense of unease arose in Lixi's heart; she had a feeling that Arakawa Kirika's purpose was not simple.

Otherwise, why would she have reminded herself to be careful of Su Shi back then...?

"Are you... going to guide us in our practice?"

Li hope looked into Arakawa Kirika's eyes and asked softly.

Arakawa Kirika pursed her lips, then smiled.

"I'm sorry, but I guessed wrong. Although I am a music enthusiast, I don't have the ability to instruct others. Anyone here knows more about music theory than I do."

As Arakawa Kirika uttered those words, she also briefly drifted into a memory.

She vaguely remembered it.

Since I was a child, I have always been surrounded by a lot of girls who study music.

At that time, she had not yet developed such a nasty personality, so some people still dared to approach her.

She remembered someone asking her why she didn't learn musical instruments with everyone else.

why……

In fact, she is very interested in musical instruments, and even now, her interest is still quite strong.

But... unfortunately, she was born rebellious.

Seeing that his peers were all learning musical instruments.

It's as if it's a natural law in this world for girls to practice musical instruments and form bands.

So she deliberately avoided music and instead studied art.

……

Arakawa Kirika awoke from her reverie and immediately heard the voice of [unintelligible text].

"Huh? Do I count too?"

Aine was clearly puzzled by what Arakawa Kirika had just said.

Because Aine had already come to terms with reality.

I'm the worst one in the band.

Could someone as incompetent as myself possibly surpass Arakawa Kirika in music theory?

"Of course, don't look down on yourself, Aine."

Arakawa Kirika turned and smiled at Aine.

When Aine met Arakawa Kirika's gaze, her eyes immediately looked away shyly, and she kept fiddling with her bangs.

This pink-haired girl always does this when she feels guilty or shy.

Arakawa Kirika squinted, taking in Aine's performance.

When Deng saw the interaction between the two, she suddenly felt a lump in her throat and her mood became somewhat depressed.

Deng quickly shook his head to clear his head; now was not the time to be jealous.

"Then... if you don't understand anything, why did you come here?"

After hearing what Arakawa Kirika said, Riki's expression immediately turned very disappointed.

She still thought that person was truly omnipotent.

But in the end, it didn't help at all.

"Lixi..."

Su Shi, standing to the side, looked quite nervous, because she knew how terrifying Arakawa Kirika could be when she was angry. So after hearing Li hope's unfriendly tone, she was very worried that Arakawa Kirika would take her anger out on Li Xi.

Fortunately, Arakawa Kirika is not a vengeful person.

Or rather... she only holds grudges against certain specific people.

Li hope, at present, is clearly not yet qualified to become one of those people.

Arakawa Kirika placed her hands on the chair and rocked it back and forth.

A creaking sound echoed in the practice room.

The group exchanged bewildered glances.

Arakawa Kirika's personality was so strange that no one could predict what she was thinking, so everyone tacitly kept quiet and just watched her do such a childish thing.

Only Lena seemed quite interested.

She even wanted to snuggle into Arakawa Kirika's arms and enjoy the swaying pleasure with her.

Arakawa Kirika stopped what she was doing and then spoke again.

"My lack of knowledge of music theory does not mean I cannot help."

Arakawa Kirika calmly presented an inequality.

Eh?

Before Riki could react, Arakawa Kirika continued speaking.

"What you're most afraid of right now is that the live show in a few days will turn into a disaster, right?"

"So... I think what you need most right now is the opinion of someone like me, an ordinary viewer?"

Opinions from ordinary viewers...

Li hope repeatedly pondered Arakawa Kirika's words.

Although she had some reservations about the word "ordinary".

But... after thinking about it for a while, Riki could only admit that Arakawa Kirika was right.

They really need an audience right now.

Up until now, the band members have been working in isolation, each with their own agendas, and haven't practiced properly at all. Li hope is also completely unsure whether her arrangement, the lyrics for "Light," and everyone's performance will be accepted by the audience.

but……

Looking at Arakawa Kirika's face, Riki felt very strange.

Is it really possible to gather...valuable feedback from this person?

Li hope said he had absolutely no idea what to expect.

"Hey……"

Seeing Li hope's tightly furrowed brows, Arakawa Kirika suddenly sighed softly.

Li hope's attention was drawn to this sigh.

She saw Arakawa Kirika take out her phone.

"Looks like I was just being presumptuous? So what you really wanted was a more professional opinion?"

What does she mean?

Li hope stood there, stunned, and blinked.

She hadn't yet grasped what Arakawa Kirika meant by "more professional advice."
