Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Xiangzi gritted his teeth.

But Arakawa Kirika just tilted her head, looking puzzled.

"It's just changing shoes, is that so unreasonable?"

Xiangzi carefully surveyed his surroundings.

Fortunately, some time has passed since school ended, which means it's no longer the peak time for students to leave school.

Most of the people who were supposed to leave have already left, and those who are still in the teaching building are mostly students who need to do their duty.

Even so... Xiangzi was still a little worried.

"Someone will see it."

Arakawa Kirika took out her phone with a bored expression.

"Deng is still in the classroom. If you don't hurry, I'll call her down. That girl likes me quite a bit, so she should listen to me."

Arakawa Kirika spoke in a teasing tone as she stretched her feet out of her indoor shoes.

"It's not too late now. What do you want to choose?"

Xiangzi's shame and anger reached their peak at that moment, but she was unable to vent them, which led to...

Her face began to turn red at a visible speed.

This scumbag... he actually used a light to threaten me...

After looking around for a while, Xiangzi, feeling helpless, finally took advantage of a moment when no one was around and quickly squatted down.

She picked up Arakawa Kirika's outdoor shoes with one hand and held Arakawa Kirika's feet in the other, then slowly began to help Arakawa Kirika put on the shoes.

Throughout the process, Xiangzi was so nervous that he accidentally dropped Arakawa Kirika's shoe, making a soft sound.

Suddenly, she felt like a petty burglar who had accidentally broken a vase in the living room and was so worried about being discovered that she froze on the spot.

Arakawa Kirika wouldn't let such an opportunity slip by.

So she rubbed her toes against Xiangzi's face, then carefully savored the sensation from her toes.

Xiangzi suddenly woke up and quickly distanced himself, which made Arakawa Kirika show a slightly regretful expression.

That bastard! He actually touched her face with his foot again... Xiangzi felt like she was about to grind her teeth to dust.

But Xiangzi didn't have time to be angry right now. Afraid of being seen by someone, she quickly put the shoes on Arakawa Kirika's feet.

After putting on his other shoe, Xiangzi stood up.

A feeling of lingering fear began to well up in Xiangzi's heart.

Even though he had only helped someone put on their shoes, Xiangzi acted as if he had done some strenuous physical activity, even panting heavily and sweating a little on his forehead.

"Hmm, that's amazing, I'll give it a 90 this time."

Arakawa Kirika covered her mouth slightly, speaking in a tone as if comforting a kindergarten child, while also reaching out to get a tissue to wipe Shoko's sweat.

But Xiangzi slapped her hand away.

"Who wants... your rating?"

Xiangzi gritted his teeth and refused the "help" from Arakawa Kirika.

Arakawa Kirika wasn't angry that Shoko dared to slap her hand away; instead, her smile grew even wider.

"That's about enough. We can't keep Mu waiting any longer, can we?"

Arakawa Kirika was about to leave the teaching building when she took a step and realized that Shoko behind her had no intention of moving. So she asked impatiently.

"What are you doing."

Xiangzi looked conflicted, and then he said...

"At least... let me go wash my hands."

If he could, Xiangzi even wanted to wash his face, because Arakawa Kirika's foot had touched him.

But these words unexpectedly enraged Arakawa Kirika.

She grabbed Xiangzi's arm and pulled her in front of her.

"Are you trying to say that my body is unclean? You're just a maid, yet you dare to dislike your master. It seems you really want to be on tomorrow's trending topics. Let me think... How about the title: [Shocking! The Lady of the Former Moon Forest Sells Herself into Slavery]?"

Xiangzi seemed to see Arakawa Kirika's blood-red eyes suddenly transform into two venomous snakes, burrowing into her body and beginning to tear at her flesh.

In that instant, Xiangzi experienced a fear even more profound than when they first met.

Xiangzi quickly lowered his head.

"I'm sorry... I was wrong, please don't do that... please."

Whether intentional or not, Xiangzi's attitude at this moment was as humble as possible.

Arakawa Kirika pinched Shoko's chin and made her lift it up, then searched repeatedly for something on Shoko's face.

Only when she saw that there were indeed a few tears welling up in Xiangzi's eyes did she push Xiangzi away with satisfaction.

"Do you remember your place now?"

Arakawa Kirika asked from her high vantage point.

Because Arakawa Kirika pushed him away forcefully, Shoko stumbled and fell to the ground.

But she dared not utter a single complaint, and simply raised her head humbly.

“I… I remember, I am… your maid, I should not disobey your will.”

Xiangzi gritted her teeth, trying her best to control herself and not let the tears fall, even though tears were welling up in her eyes.

She knew that this scumbag in front of her loved seeing her cry, so she wouldn't let him have his way no matter what she said.

"Look at you, you always make a mess of yourself. If you were just obedient, you wouldn't be like this."

Arakawa Kirika took out a tissue again, first wiping away the tears from the corners of Shoko's eyes, and then tidying up Shoko's hair and collar, which were a little messy from the fall.

"Let's go, Mu has been wanting to see you."

Volume 1: Chapter 60 Childhood Sweethearts Finally Meet

Arakawa Kirika led Shoko out of the school gate, while Mutsu had clearly learned from his previous experience and did not wait for them at the school gate this time.

After walking out of the school gate and turning a corner, Xiangzi finally saw his childhood sweetheart, Ruoye Mu, standing on the sidewalk in a daze.

"Mu."

Until Arakawa Kirika called out Mutsu's name.

Mutsu then came to her senses, and like a little hamster seeing its owner, she quickly came to Arakawa Kirika's side, carrying her bag.

"..."

Seeing Mutsu take the initiative to stand beside Arakawa Kirika, Shoko sighed inexplicably.

Even now, she still can't understand why Mu would fall for this scumbag.

"Let's find a place to sit down. Mu, where did you and Xiangzi used to like to go?"

Mu looked thoughtful upon hearing this, and then began to lead the way.

……

Sitting in the coffee shop, Mu and Xiangzi looked at each other, neither of them knowing how to start the conversation.

Arakawa Kirika, however, flipped through the menu with great interest.

"Mu, look at this."

Arakawa Kirika smiled and laid the menu out on the table, pointing to a spot on it.

Mu turned his head to look, but didn't understand what Arakawa Kirika meant.

Arakawa Kirika continued.

"Isn't the name of this drink hilarious? It's a bunch of nonsensical katakana characters. If you didn't know better, you'd think it was some kind of magic spell."

what……

Mutsu then understood what Arakawa Kirika meant. She nodded first, then the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.

Sometimes, Wuhua can be quite childish.

However... it's more accurate to call it "casual" rather than "childish".

"Then I'll try this tea with the super long name. What about you?"

After making her decision, Arakawa Kirika looked up at Toyokawa Shoko sitting opposite her.

"My words..."

Just as Xiangzi was about to say "whatever," he was interrupted by Arakawa Kirika.

"Earl Grey tea, right?"

Arakawa Kirika rested her chin on her hand, looking at Shoko with a frivolous smile on her face.

Eh?

Xiangzi was taken aback at first, then looked at Mu.

Mu quickly shook his head.

Wasn't it Mu who told her...?

How did she know what she liked to drink?

Xiangzi was a little confused, but after all, she hadn't had her favorite drink in a long time, so even with a resistant attitude, she didn't intend to refuse Arakawa Kirika's drink.

She simply nodded slightly.

"Ah."

……

After the waiter brought the drinks to all three of them.

The atmosphere became somewhat awkward once again.

Mu kept his head down, holding his drink in both hands, with a straw in his mouth, and didn't say a word.
