Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Arakawa Kirika began to gently scratch Ryuna's chin, just like she was teasing a real cat.

Lena also showed a very enjoyable expression, her eyes almost narrowed into a straight line.

Arakawa Kirika was very satisfied with Ryuna's reaction.

She knew very well that the girl in front of her was a revolutionary new type of "catgirl".

She doesn't have cat ears or a cat tail, nor does she use the "meow" verbal tic when she speaks.

But her every move proclaims that she is a real cat.

In this way, people can easily forgive her for some of her little whims.

As for... how to cultivate such a personality in a normal girl...

And how can one grow a pair of heterochromatic blue and yellow eyes like Yoro Nai?

So I can only say one sentence.

Mind your own business when it comes to anime and manga.

Arakawa Kirika stopped scratching her chin, then slowly moved her hand up and touched the girl's face.

Then, no longer content with just being stroked, Arakawa Kirika gradually began to exert more force.

She pinched Yao Lenai's cheeks and began to pull them forcefully to both sides.

"pain……"

Lena let out a soft complaint, but her body didn't struggle much.

After a while, Arakawa Kirika finally released the other person's face and began to appreciate their pitiful expression.

"Is Qi#ErsanOSijiu*Qi!ShansiLingmengWuhua...angry?"

While stroking her slightly swollen face, Yoruichi carefully probed Arakawa Kirika's attitude.

"No."

Arakawa Kirika answered with a smile, then continued to wave to Rakuna.

"..."

Rakuna watched Arakawa Kirika's actions, her expression becoming somewhat hesitant.

Rana naturally liked this person who would occasionally appear and feed her, even though her instincts kept warning her to stay away from this dangerous person, she still liked Arakawa Kirika very much.

Today, Arakawa Kirika seems to be doing something that causes her pain for no reason, which makes Rakuna somewhat unwilling.

But... after hesitating for a while, Rana approached Arakawa Kirika and was immediately pulled into her arms.

Arakawa Kirika lowered her head and naturally licked Ryuna's collarbone for a short while, then gently bit Ryuna's neck with her teeth.

"Um……"

After feeling the pain, Yoru Nai began to struggle, but... she was afraid that if she struggled too much, it would displease Arakawa Kirika.

Fortunately, Arakawa Kirika released her quickly.

Lena touched her neck, which was covered with many red marks.

This is Arakawa Kirika asserting her sovereignty.

Arakawa Kirika is well-versed in how to get along with cats. She knows that some arrogant cats might even step on their owners' heads... and she would never allow such a thing to happen. She wants Rakuna to understand the meaning of respect and hierarchy.

"Mist Flower... she's clearly angry."

But the naive Rakuna obviously couldn't understand that level of understanding; she just thought that Arakawa Kirika was angry today, which was why she was doing some strange things to her.

“Lanna. I’m not angry, I’m just teasing you.”

Arakawa Kirika said calmly.

"When you get home today, tell your grandma, 'Some strange person bullied me.' That way, your grandma will definitely tell you to stay away from me."

As she spoke, Arakawa Kirika took two more steps forward, placed her hands on Ryuna's head, and rubbed it vigorously for a while until Ryuna's silver hair became messy and looked just like a cat with its fur standing on end.

After completing this set of movements, Arakawa Kirika slowly looked into Ryuna's eyes.

"So, are you going to leave me?"

Lenai's answer was very firm.

"Don't hesitate. I want to be with Wuhua."

As she spoke, Lena rubbed her already bristling head against Arakawa Kirika's chest, as if to show her submission.

"Good boy."

Arakawa Kirika was pleased with this, so she placed her hand on Ryuna's head again, but this time she only stroked it very gently.

She even helped Lena tidy up her messy hair, and then naturally took Lena's hand.

What do you want to eat today?

Arakawa Kirika asked.

Volume One: Chapter Twenty-Three - Silence

The live house called "Ring" is actually a mixed-use commercial building.

It combines multiple functions such as a shop, a restaurant, and a live house.

This has made it the center of countless band activities.

Arakawa Kirika pulled Ryuna into the first floor of [ring], and then walked towards the front desk.

"It sucks..."

Shiina Tatsuki watched the approaching figure and muttered a complaint under her breath. Fortunately, she kept her voice down, so no one else heard her.

She recognized the person in front of her, but at the same time, she was certain that the person in front of her did not recognize her.

Why did you have to come when I was covering for someone else's shift...?

Li hope thought to himself again.

She rarely took on the responsibility of greeting guests; she would only fill in for colleagues who had to leave temporarily. So she never expected to run into the person she hated most at this time.

Arakawa Mists and Flowers.

Riki's hatred for Arakawa Kirika had been building up over time.

The first time I met Arakawa Kirika was when she came to the rehearsal venue with Mutsu during a Crychic rehearsal.

Since Arakawa Kirika had arrived at the rehearsal, the members of Crychic naturally introduced themselves in a friendly manner.

But... Shiina Tatsuki still remembers the look in Arakawa Kirika's eyes back then.

To her, Arakawa Kirika's gaze did not represent danger, but rather "contempt".

It was as if, in Arakawa Kirika's heart, she was nothing more than air. It wasn't that the other party couldn't remember the name she gave, but rather that they were unwilling to even perform the act of "remembering".

She simply didn't want to remember her own name.

This unconscious display of contempt infuriated Lixi.

Although she didn't say much at the time out of consideration for Wakaba Mutsu, this feeling of swallowing her anger tormented her for a long time.

The second time I met Arakawa Kirika, they were also getting along well.

So he introduced himself to her a second time, telling her his name.

But the only response to Riki was silence. Arakawa Kirika didn't even bother to glance at her. All eyes were on Mutsu, and as for Shiina Riki, she was nothing more than a noisy ant.

With a kind of defiant, anti-faith mentality.

On one occasion, when Arakawa Kirika came alone, Riki patiently approached her again.

She thought to herself, "This time you don't have any companions with you, so you shouldn't be distracted anymore. At the very least, you should... have glanced at me, and at the very least, you should have remembered me."

One day, she had the chance to meet Arakawa Kirika, who came to [ring] alone. She mustered all her courage and went up to her when her colleague was too afraid to order.

While taking orders for Arakawa Kirika, she also tried to find out if Arakawa Kirika remembered her.

Until she heard a sentence.

"Who are you."

Arakawa Kirika's tone was calm, and her eyes showed no emotion.

Shiina Tatsuki could confirm that Arakawa Kirika was not pretending to be stupid, nor was she intentionally trying to humiliate her.

But... it was this silent contempt that made her furious beyond measure.

Am I really not worth remembering?

In the end, Shiina Tatsuki gave up the idea of ​​getting close to Arakawa Kirika.

……

When consciousness returned to the present, Arakawa Kirika and Ryuna had already walked up to Shiina Tatsuki.

Shiina Tatsuki immediately realized... that standing in front of her was a pair of [inhuman] beings.

A wildcat and... a poisonous snake.

Shiina Tatsuki looked at the two holding hands, somewhat puzzled.

In her memory, it was clear that Arakawa Kirika and Wakaba Mutsumi were the ones with this kind of relationship.

So...was Wakaba Mutsumi dumped?

She naturally thought that if Wakaba Mutsumi and Arakawa Kirika ended their relationship, without a doubt, Wakaba Mutsumi would be the one who got dumped.

Oh well, Crychic has already disbanded, so it has nothing to do with me anymore.

Li hope thought to himself.

"Matcha parfait, 5 servings."

Lena stretched out her hand, each finger spread wide to express her meaning.

5 portions?

Shiina Riki's lips twitched slightly as she glanced at the weather outside.

Overcast.
