Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Without a doubt, this was the home she knew so well.

The house was quiet, and there was no trace of Arakawa Kirika in sight.

So... what should I do next?

Toyokawa Shoko was momentarily at a loss for words.

Should I clean the house...? She looked around.

Yesterday, many places in the room were covered in dust, but today they look brand new.

Arakawa Kirika would clean a room? No way.

Xiangzi quickly shook his head, dismissing this unrealistic idea.

So... after I left last night, a [professional team] came and took care of all the trivial matters for me.

If there's no need to clean... then should we cook?

Xiangzi hesitated for a moment, then dismissed the idea.

Given my beginner-level cooking skills, it's best not to cause any unnecessary trouble...

Xiangzi even felt that if he served Arakawa Kirika his own cooking, it might enrage her.

Well then... I guess I should go and check in with Arakawa Kirika first...

Hey……

After letting out a silent sigh, Xiangzi quietly went upstairs.

Arakawa Kirika, with her wicked sense of humor, where she sleeps... you can guess with just a little thought.

It will definitely be in your own room.

Toyokawa Shoko was very certain about this.

Her guess was quickly confirmed.

When Xiangzi pushed open the door to his room, his heart skipped a beat.

Because she saw... Arakawa Kirika had already woken up.

This means that she was unable to arrive before Arakawa Kirika woke up, as she had requested.

A sense of distress crept into Xiangzi's heart, and she instinctively closed her eyes, adopting a defensive stance with her arms crossed. Because in her understanding…

What awaits next is undoubtedly Arakawa Kirika's rebuke.

However... nothing happened.

The moment she opened her eyes again, a perfectly timed warm breeze swept in from outside the window, dispelling all her thoughts.

Toyokawa Shoko quickly rubbed her eyes, because she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Arakawa Kirika sat up straight on the bed, but her body was swaying slightly, as if she hadn't fully woken up.

Her long black hair fell naturally down her back, without a single strand out of place.

A ray of sunlight pierced through the gap in the curtains and fell on Arakawa Kirika's face. As if her eyes had been dazzled, she frowned slightly and shrank back a little, hiding herself in the shadows.

Her gaze was no longer as sharp and aggressive as usual, but rather radiated a sense of dazedness and weariness.

Compared to a cruel tyrant... she is now more like a vampire princess living in seclusion.

The way it acted like a little animal throwing a tantrum when it woke up because it hadn't slept well left Xiangzi somewhat stunned.

To be fair, Xiangzi thinks Arakawa Kirika in this state is... incredibly cute.

Moreover... he was very likely the first person his age to see her like this.

"What are you doing standing there?"

Arakawa Kirika rubbed her eyes lightly, as if she had finally noticed Shoko.

Hearing Arakawa Kirika's voice, Shoko finally snapped out of his daze.

She quickly shook her head and reminded herself.

The person in front of me is a beast that eats people without spitting out the bones. Her beauty is just a disguise to numb people... and it is impossible for her to have anything to do with the concept of "cute".

Toyokawa Shoko quickly stepped forward and stood in front of Arakawa Kirika, waiting for her to give orders.

However, Arakawa Kirika closed her eyes again, and her body slowly began to lean back until she was completely against the headboard, leaving only faint breathing sounds.

He looked like he didn't want to get out of bed.

...Arakawa Kirika's reaction was completely unexpected by Shoko.

But she would never dare to say something like, "It's getting late, wake up..."

She could only go along with her whims and silently wait by her side.

While Arakawa Kirika was struggling with sleep, Shoko, who was bored, was also quietly... looking around her room.

The entire room remained almost exactly as I remembered it; if I had to point out any differences...

Xiangzi's gaze fell upon the incense burner-shaped ornament on the bedside table of Arakawa Kirika.

She noticed the faint fragrance as soon as she entered the room.

It smells like woody incense.

Although Xiangzi herself had never used it, she had heard of it.

In this world, there are all kinds of "fragrant woods". When you burn them, you can smell their unique fragrance.

Most fragrant woods have calming and sleep-inducing effects.

The most precious types of fragrant wood, for the same weight, can cost several times more than gold.

However... the fact that she would light aromatherapy when falling asleep... does this mean that her sleep quality is extremely poor?

Xiangzi then turned his attention to Arakawa Kirika's hands.

She still remembered the bandages she had given Arakawa Kirika yesterday, but now the other woman no longer had any bandages in her hands.

Did you remove it because you felt uncomfortable...?

Toyokawa Shoko found that her mind seemed to become unusually active in her presence... she always liked to daydream.

After a long while, Toyokawa Shoko felt that this process of wild thoughts had lasted at least half an hour... Arakawa Kirika finally opened her eyes again.

"Help me get dressed."

After regaining some composure, Arakawa Kirika looked at Shoko beside her and finally issued her first command.

For some reason, Xiangzi felt a sense of relief after hearing the order.

Qi Linba Wuba (7) Qun Liao because she was also quite bored standing there.

While helping Arakawa Kirika get dressed, Shoko felt very fortunate.

Fortunately, the guy in front of her didn't have any weird habit of sleeping naked, otherwise her situation would have been quite awkward.

After getting dressed, Arakawa Kirika slowly made her way to the bathroom.

She threw all her toiletries at Xiangzi in one go.

"help me."

She continued to give orders.

ha?

Now it was Xiangzi's turn to show a shocked expression.

Her understanding of "maid" was limited to serving tea and water and tidying up the room.

She never imagined that she would need to take on tasks like brushing her teeth and washing her face.

This is far beyond the scope of a maid's job... I'm not a kindergarten teacher.

Do you have a problem with that?

Arakawa Kirika frowned, her expression starting to show signs of impatience.

So... Xiangzi had no choice but to do as he was told.

After washing up, Arakawa Kirika then asked Shoko to comb her hair.

Xiangzi was clearly much more accepting of this new job.

After all... in Xiangzi's opinion, Arakawa Kirika's hair didn't need any styling or maintenance at all.

Even though she had just gotten up, Arakawa Kirika's hair was perfectly smooth, without a single curl or split end. When Shoko touched it, she felt its silky smoothness.

After finishing their grooming, the two finally came down from the second floor and returned to the lobby on the first floor.

Just then, Arakawa Kirika glanced at her phone casually, as if she had received a message, and then she spoke to Shoko.

"The items have arrived, go and get them."

Volume 1: Chapter Thirteen Energy Mode

What could it be...?

Xiangzi walked out of the house, wondering to himself.

She saw a luxury car parked outside the iron gate not far away.

As she walked to the iron gate, the people in the car also got off.

"This is for Miss."

She was a very spirited woman, dressed in a butler's uniform, exuding a sense of competence, which left a deep impression on Xiangzi.

As expected of Arakawa Kirika's attendant, her personality seems to be similar to her master's, somewhat sparing with words.

Xiangzi quickly took the things handed to him.

It looks like a food box.

Judging from the texture of the wood alone, Xiangzi knew that this food box must have cost a fortune.

Oh, it's food delivery...

Xiangzi looked at the sun overhead and was surprised to realize that it was already noon.
