Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Book 1: Chapter 79 The Reason for Anger

Arakawa Kirika stood by the roadside of the Dao Ling*Yume II Mio Ba Leng (9T) Umbrella Willow Road in Haneoka, and at that moment she was in a brief state of confusion.

As soon as school was over today, Ai-yin and Deng left the school with mysterious expressions.

This made Arakawa Kirika, who had gotten used to being disturbed by the two of them, feel a little uncomfortable.

She looked at the flow of people in front of her.

On the left are people leaving school, and on the right are people heading to the club activity room.

She stood there in the middle of the fork in the road.

She lowered her head and then caught a glimpse of some scattered blue and white wildflowers dotting the lawn not far away.

Although it is just an unknown wildflower, it is quite elegant.

But Arakawa Kirika is an oddball; she always has twisted ideas about beautiful things.

So she took two steps forward, then squatted down in front of the lawn, and then... reached out and extinguished the blooming little life.

Hmm... much better.

Arakawa Kirika smiled. Seeing that the pale blue flower was no longer blooming but had been crushed into powder by her fingers, she felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction.

But soon, Arakawa Kirika got bored again.

She didn't want to go to the activity room today, but... going home like this would be too unsatisfying.

Right now, she desperately needs to hold something in her arms to fill the emptiness in her heart.

It would be even better if that thing were a cat-like girl with heterochromia, short white hair, revealing clothing, and who could play the guitar.

To put it more bluntly, Arakawa Kirika is having a cat fetish; she wants to find that cat she can be close to.

However... before setting off to find the cat, Arakawa Kirika suddenly remembered that there was another thing... that she also needed to take care of.

So she went to the wind instrument section.

Sure enough, Xiangzi was practicing the piano here. She had fully recovered and, judging from the clear tone of her voice, she must be in very good condition.

So she went inside.

At first, Xiangzi, engrossed in his practice, was unaware that someone was approaching.

Until Arakawa Kirika embraced her body.

The music stopped abruptly, then quickly resumed.

Because Arakawa Kirika was giving her orders.

"Don't stop."

Urged on by Arakawa Kirika, Shoko had no choice but to once again rouse his somewhat stiff fingers and begin playing again.

"No... here... it's almost time for the brass band's activity, someone will be here."

As he continued what he was doing, Xiangzi pleaded with Arakawa Kirika in a somewhat panicked tone.

"Oh."

Arakawa Kirika responded, but showed no intention of letting go.

She buried her nose between Xiangzi's collarbones and then took a gentle sniff.

Then, still somewhat unsatisfied, she bit Xiangzi's neck with her teeth.

Xiangzi could feel the pain caused by Arakawa Kirika's somewhat sharp canine teeth piercing his neck.

This made her playing the piano a little unstable.

This bastard... is he really a vampire...? He likes biting people's necks so much...

Xiangzi gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat indignant.

Arakawa Kirika temporarily stopped what she was doing and whispered in Shoko's ear.

At first, feeling Arakawa Kirika's warm breath spreading over her sensitive areas, Shoko felt her body temperature rise instantly.

But soon, Arakawa Kirika's next words plunged her mood to rock bottom again.

“You are very valuable as a meal replacement, my Miss Xiangzi.”

ha?

What is she saying? Meal replacement... what does that mean?

Arakawa Kirika noticed the confusion in Shoko's eyes and explained.

"Hmm... what I mean is, I'm using you to replace someone else to vent my own desires right now, do you understand?"

Xiangzi got angry.

Although she didn't know why she was angry, the feeling of being treated as a substitute for someone else was terrible; it was as if her value was being denied.

Who will she think I am?

Xiangzi frowned.

Arakawa Kirika continued speaking.

"Hmm... she's a bit smaller than you, and she has short silver hair. But what attracts me most about her is definitely her heterochromatic eyes, they look so dreamy."

Hearing Arakawa Kirika's undisguised praise, Xiangzi's anger flared up even further.

However... while she was angry, she was also very confused.

Why am I angry?!

...In the end, Xiangzi found a reasonable excuse for himself.

I... I just feel sorry for Mu... Yes, that must be it.

This kind of womanizer doesn't deserve Mu's love at all.

Seeing the constantly changing expressions on Xiangzi's face, Arakawa Kirika smiled with satisfaction.

She really wanted to continue, but she told herself to stop here for today.

Therefore, Arakawa Kirika did not take any further action.

She finished by branding Xiangzi's neck with a deep red mark and then stopped, satisfied.

Seeing this, Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief... but also felt a subtle feeling in his heart.

She was puzzled; why was this scumbag so easily satisfied today?

After kissing the red mark on Shoko's neck, Arakawa Kirika continued speaking slowly.

"This is about right as a dessert. I'll take my leave now, Miss Xiangzi."

Arakawa Kirika smiled at Shoko, then decisively turned and left the group.

If time allowed, she certainly wouldn't mind developing a deeper relationship with Xiangzi, but as Xiangzi said, the members of the brass band would be arriving soon, so she only bothered Xiangzi briefly.

Well... thanks to Xiangzi, her desire to pet the cat has been somewhat relieved, and now she can go looking for the cat with a calm mind.

……

I watched Arakawa Kirika leave.

Xiangzi then stopped playing and sat slumped in a chair, lost in thought.

A look of disbelief and shock appeared in her eyes.

Because Xiangzi discovered it.

While resisting Arakawa Kirika's harassment, she was also... a little bit... happy?

These two completely contradictory feelings fermented in Xiangzi's heart, influencing each other and causing her thoughts to become very chaotic, and her eyes to gradually become unfocused.

What am I so happy about...?

Is she happy that the person will take the initiative to contact her again?

...After that day, she thought her relationship with Arakawa Kirika would cool down considerably.

But why did it turn out like this?

Xiangzi couldn't understand.

And... she found herself somewhat getting used to Arakawa Kirika's harassment...

This is clearly not a good sign.

but……

Xiangzi's expression became complicated as he touched the red mark on his neck.

The tingling, slightly painful sensation I felt just now is still vivid in my mind.

But for some reason, Xiangzi felt... that he hadn't really suffered any loss.

She recalled the smile on Arakawa Kirika's lips as she left.

That scumbag will probably go see that "dreamlike" girl she was talking about next.

Xiangzi frowned again, and to her surprise, she found that her stomach was also experiencing a slight, aching spasm.

How did I become like this?

Xiangzi was a little at a loss.

Doesn't that make it seem like she cares a lot about that scumbag?

"Um...excuse me, our club activity is about to start..."

A voice calling from the doorway brought Xiangzi back to reality.

She quickly pulled her collar up, hoping to cover the red mark.

This self-deceiving action did not attract the attention of those outside the door, but it made Xiangzi's heart beat much faster.

"Um... I'll leave right away."

Xiangzi said with a slightly embarrassed expression, then immediately stood up, bowed slightly to the band member outside the door, and then fled the place.

Ah... as expected, nothing good ever comes from getting involved with that scumbag.
