Aspiring to be a girl in a band

So if I can find Xiangzi again and have a good talk with him...

crychic... will revive you.

As for Ai-yin?

Just find an opportunity to kick her out. Anyway, her skill level is also very poor. She'll probably quit after being scolded by Li hope.

That way, one can avoid becoming a bad person.

[Plan Guide]

However... even though the plan in my mind was so perfect, I still had to face the current troubles.

She looked out the window again; the rain showed no signs of letting up.

So... how long am I supposed to wait? It'll probably be dark by then.

Tsukinomori is quite far from the train station; even if you take a taxi, you have to walk all the way to the school gate.

The starting fare for taxis, which would be painful for many working adults, is no problem at all for a student like Suzuyo from Tsukimori.

All she cared about was not getting wet in the rain.

Su Shi stood up and leaned against the classroom window. She stretched her hand out the window and felt the rain.

In less than ten seconds, the rainwater that had accumulated in her palm had already formed a small puddle.

Therefore, we can infer from this that...

If she dares to step out of the teaching building, she'll probably be soaked to the bone in less than 3 minutes.

Su Shi took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands and sat back down in her seat.

Her phone, which was on the table, started vibrating. She picked it up and looked at it.

Another message from Aiyin.

This made her feel a little irritated.

He's clearly just a backup option who could be kicked out at any time, yet he always likes to send her random, inexplicable things.

The day before yesterday, Aiyin sent her a photo of herself practicing.

But Nagasaki Motoyo simply didn't believe that Aine would practice seriously. From the first moment she met Aine, she knew that the pink-haired girl's purpose in forming a band was nothing more than to show off.

People with such a half-baked understanding are not qualified to join Crychic.

Because crychic... is my own destiny.

So we have to get rid of this pink-haired guy as soon as possible.

Nagasaki Motoyo had no desire to have much contact with Aine.

But... she still had to put on a show, so she gave Aine her own LINE account.

But I never expected that the pink-haired girl would be so talkative.

I want to share everything I see with her.

She had to take pictures of cakes, drinks, and even a cute little dog she encountered on the street, and then send them to Su Shi.

And then there's that disgusting emoji.

Nagasaki Motoyo found it very boring, but in order to maintain her persona, she had to "enthusiastically" reply to every single message from Aine.

Right now, she feels that her sorrows are like the endless rain outside the window.

After a while, [the text abruptly shifts to a seemingly unrelated sentence: "Two investigations into neighboring objects, eight wives' arts, Shaanxi [unclear text]."]

Nagasaki Motoyo had no other choice but to finally decide to brave the rain and go home.

Just as she stepped out of the classroom, she almost bumped into someone who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Nagasaki Motoyo rubbed her eyes in disbelief.

"Student...president?"

Before her stood Arakawa Kirika.

Nagasaki Motoyo knew that Arakawa Kirika had transferred to another school. Although she was only puzzled at the time, she was soon overjoyed and relieved.

Arakawa Kirika's absence would make it easier for her to get closer to Mutsu, thus increasing the chances of her plan succeeding.

At least... that's what she thinks.

"Is it hard to understand? This is my territory, of course I can pass through without hindrance."

Arakawa Kirika looked at Nagasaki Motoyo's bewildered expression with disdain.

"How long have you been standing here?"

Because of nervousness, Nagasaki Motoyo subconsciously reverted to her feigned demeanor and began using polite language.

But when Arakawa Kirika saw her reaction, the contempt in her eyes deepened even more.

Nagasaki Motoyo then realized what was happening.

Arakawa Kirika had said before that she was in this state... [her voice was disgusting].

So she stopped acting.

What are you doing here?

Sure enough, after she regained her original voice, Arakawa Kirika's expression finally warmed up a bit.

"Of course I'm here to pick you up. You look troubled, don't you?"

Arakawa Kirika wore a mocking smile, making Suze wonder if she was fooling him.

"How...how did you know I was trapped in the classroom and couldn't go back?"

Nagasaki Motoyo crossed her arms and asked somewhat warily.

Well...

Arakawa Kirika's smile grew even wider.

"Of course I had no idea you could be so stupid. Actually, I arrived a long time ago, but I didn't see you downstairs, so I came upstairs. I found you acting silly in the classroom, and I thought I might as well enjoy the circus performance a little longer."

……

circus performance...

Does this mean she's the "clown"?

Nagasaki Motoyo clenched her fists, feeling a little upset.

In that instant, she recalled the first time she went to Arakawa Kirika's office.

She was fooling herself in the same way back then.

"Alright, enough of this small talk."

Arakawa Kirika suppressed her smile and then tossed the umbrella in her hand to Suze.

"It's about time you came with me for a walk, Miss Su Shi."

Su Shi quickly grabbed the umbrella. Although she was full of doubts, she had no choice but to follow behind Arakawa Kirika.

Volume 1: Chapter 63 A Relaxing and Joyful Umbrella Game

Arakawa Kirika led Nagasaki Motoyo to the entrance of the teaching building before turning back to give Motoyo a cold look.

"Just so you know, I didn't bring a second umbrella, so you'll have to hold it for me from now on."

Nagasaki Motoyo didn't respond, because she had already noticed this, so she wasn't surprised that the two of them were sharing an umbrella.

But... she didn't know that this was a mini-game carefully designed by Arakawa Kirika.

As Arakawa Kirika, all she had to do was give an order to have someone drive a car into the school and pick her up at the entrance of the teaching building.

But she didn't do that, because to her it was a good opportunity to tease Nagasaki Motoyo.

So she continued.

"Let's play a game. While holding an umbrella for me, you have to do your best to keep me from getting wet in the rain."

Arakawa Kirika continued with a smile.

"However... with this kind of rain, it's unlikely you'll get a single drop wet. I'm not the kind of bad person who likes to force people to do things against their will. So, no matter what the final outcome is, I won't punish you, so you can rest assured."

……

Nagasaki Motoyo was a little confused. She originally thought that Arakawa Kirika was playing this strange game to humiliate her, but... she said there would be no punishment.

So what exactly is her purpose?

Arakawa Kirika noticed the confusion in Suze's eyes, so she explained further.

"If your service satisfies me, then I can be a little... gentler in our subsequent conversation."

Arakawa Kirika looked down into Su Shi's eyes, her sharp, serpentine pupils seeming to tear at Su Shi's skin.

……

Su Shi gritted her teeth... She could already imagine that the journey she would take to escort Arakawa Kirika would be extremely difficult.

The final reward was merely that the other party's attitude should be slightly... gentler.

What concerned her even more was... what Arakawa Kirika was going to talk to her about next. She and Arakawa Kirika were not familiar with each other at all, and had only met a few times. What was there to talk about?

A feeling of unease made Su Shi very uncomfortable.

She felt an instinctive fear of what Arakawa Kirika had said about "what we're going to talk about next."

"Then, let the game begin."

After giving the order, Arakawa Kirika walked straight out, completely ignoring whether Su Shi had reacted or whether the umbrella was actually covering her head.

There was no time to think any further...

Su Shi chased after her in a panic, then hurriedly opened her umbrella to shield Arakawa Kirika from the rain.

Arakawa Kirika is much taller than Souse, and the consequences are...

Nagasaki Su-rei's wife.> Wu-ju-ji Q&UN Sei found it difficult to keep up with Arakawa Kirika's pace, and... she had to raise her arm very high and straight in order to complete the action of holding an umbrella for Arakawa Kirika.

To prevent Arakawa Kirika from getting wet in the rain, Suze was extremely focused.
