Aspiring to be a girl in a band

If that scene were seen by someone with ulterior motives... it might even make the news the next day.

Mu... the more I think about it, the more frightened I become.

But this is exactly the kind of expression that Arakawa Kirika wanted to see: Mutsu's different expression.

She hadn't seen Mu's pained expression in a long time.

Since getting used to the pain, Mu can easily complete even some more intense activities.

As a result, it became increasingly difficult for Arakawa Kirika's favorite scenes of Mutsu's pain and tears to appear.

It can be said that over the years, Wakaba Mutsu has almost single-handedly borne all the dark side of Arakawa Kirika.

"I don't want to remind you a second time, or is it that my Mu has also entered her rebellious phase?"

Arakawa Kirika's eyes began to grow hungry and icy cold.

A bittersweet feeling welled up in Mu's heart.

She doesn't reject Arakawa Kirika's various acts of harming her; in fact, she enjoys them herself.

But... every time I see Arakawa Kirika's cold attitude, her expression that doesn't treat her as an object of love but as just a plaything.

She... will still feel heartbroken.

Even with a doll-like beautiful face, Mu is still a living, breathing person, an individual with flesh and blood.

She will be sad.

In Mutsu's heart, as long as Arakawa Kirika is even a little bit gentle with her, it will make her happy for a long time.

But Arakawa Kirika's gentleness is perhaps the most precious luxury in this world. Even Mutsu rarely gets to experience it.

"I understand……"

Mu kept her head bowed very low.

She forced herself to let go of unnecessary thoughts.

Mutsu told herself that her most important job now was to entertain Arakawa Kirika.

Mu took a deep breath and then began to lift her skirt little by little.

Fortunately, it seemed that even the heavens had pity on this poor girl.

Suddenly a large oil tanker truck passed by, helping to block most of Mu's view.

The other passersby on the same side as them seemed unable to resist the temptation to go home, and simply brushed past the two of them before leaving.

In other words, no one saw what Mu did.

The only person who could see the scenery beneath Mutsumi's skirt was Arakawa Kirika, standing right in front of her.

The conspicuous black ink stain left on Mutsu's inner thigh caught Arakawa Kirika's eye.

After receiving permission, Mu quickly put down her skirt.

We finally got through this difficult time.

But Mu was clearly not in a good mood. After all... she had no idea that she had divine help. So Mu stood there in fear, her face full of terror and shame, and even a tear in the corner of her eye.

Mu's steps were unsteady. After using up all her courage, she felt that even standing was so difficult.

Finally, Mutsu lost his balance and stumbled, falling towards Arakawa Kirika.

Fortunately, Arakawa Kirika easily caught her in her arms.

"Can we still walk? If not, I'll call a car."

Arakawa Kirika was clearly satisfied with Mutsu's compliance, so her tone finally softened a bit.

Mu hesitated for a moment, then tried to stand up straight again, but she still didn't have the strength.

then.

Feeling the warmth of Arakawa Kirika's embrace, Mutsu gave up on her third attempt.

……

The two quickly arrived at the familiar place by car.

【ring】

Since it was still early, Arakawa Kirika didn't want to go home right away.

Some time had passed since the humiliating play, and Mutsuya finally regained the strength to walk.

After leaving Arakawa Kirika's embrace, a feeling of unfulfilled desire suddenly sprouted in Mutsu's heart.

Only then did she belatedly realize that perhaps she could pretend she couldn't leave yet...

But obviously, the opportunity had already been missed, so Mu could only quickly follow behind Arakawa Kirika.

Volume 1: Chapter 44 Li hope was always sullen.

"Welcome, oh...tsk."

Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Li hope, who was tidying up the cups at the counter, instinctively greeted the visitors. However, upon seeing the two people who entered, she immediately let out a displeased click of her tongue.

No, am I really that unlucky? Every time it's my turn to be on duty, this guy comes here?

Li hope thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Speaking of which... isn't that Wakaba...? What's going on?

Shiina Riki certainly remembered the incident a few days ago when Arakawa Kirika brought that stray cat here and frantically attacked her eyeballs.

At that time, she naturally assumed that Arakawa Kirika had dumped Mutsumi and found a new love.

But now... Arakawa Kirika and Wakaba Mutsu have come here again, leaving her completely bewildered.

However, she soon came up with a new guess.

I understand!

Li hope clenched his right fist and then slammed it into the palm of his left hand, making a crisp sound.

That bastard was actually cheating on his wife, right? That stray cat was actually her secret lover.

Shiina Tatsuki's imagination suddenly leaped forward at this level, and he became increasingly convinced that what he was deducing was the truth.

Therefore... her gaze towards Arakawa Kirika became even more malevolent, as if she were looking at a scumbag whom everyone should kill.

I need to think of a way to tell Wakaba.

Lixi thought that although she and Ruoye Mutsu didn't have a very good relationship at Crychic, they had worked together after all, so Lixi's sense of justice made her feel that she had an obligation to tell Mutsu the truth.

Arakawa Kirika had already led Mutsu to her seat, but Riki was still hesitating.

She looked around, then sighed resignedly.

As luck would have it, she was the only one in the shop right now.

Even though she was extremely unwilling, she had no choice but to step forward and prepare to order for Arakawa Kirika.

What would you like to order?

Lixi's tone was rather impatient.

"Mulai, please help me choose."

Arakawa Kirika gazed at the scenery outside the window, then casually handed the task of taking orders to Mutsu.

Mu took the menu, then fumbled in her memory to order a hot green tea drink for Arakawa Kirika.

Mu clearly remembers that Arakawa Kirika prefers slightly astringent green tea drinks with a sweet aftertaste rather than sweet and mellow black tea.

While placing her order, Mu noticed that the employee who served her was none other than her former partner.

Should I... say hello?

Mu hesitated.

Mu did say on the day Crychic disbanded, "I've never felt happy playing in a band."

But the memories of the past are not bitter for Mu.

At least... she still has the contact information for all the members of Crychic, including Lixi.

Fortunately, Li hope spoke to her first.

"Long time no see... Mutsu."

Riki, who had intended to address her as "Wakaba," quietly replaced it with "Muto" before she could finish speaking.

It seems she doesn't want their relationship to appear distant.

"Hmm...long time...not seeing you?"

Mu responded to Lixi's greeting, but at the same time tilted her head with a puzzled look on her face.

Because she saw that Lixi was winking and blinking at her frantically.

Is Lixi feeling unwell? Or are her eyes very dry?

Unfortunately, I didn't bring any eye drops.

That's what Mu thought.

She stared at Lixi with her big, watery eyes, watching him struggle with his inner turmoil.

Finally, after several seconds, Riki reluctantly gave up, because if she continued to do these little tricks, she might attract Arakawa Kirika's attention.

Lixi sighed deeply.

However... there's nothing we can do about it, Lixi thought.

After all, he's that taciturn person; it's understandable that he wouldn't understand my hints. It seems I need to try a different approach.

……

"It's surprising that Mu has acquaintances here."

Suddenly, Arakawa Kirika turned her gaze back from the window and into the room, fixing it on Mutsu.

Mutsu's pupils dilated slightly, his gaze shifting back and forth between Arakawa Kirika and Shiina Tatsuki.

Because Mutsumi couldn't be sure whether Arakawa Kirika was serious or joking.
