Aspiring to be a girl in a band

This person looks like the kind of scum who plays with other people's feelings, but why?

I was only hugged by the other person, who simply pressed their chin against the top of my head.

I was already completely flustered and had no idea how to react.

Seeing that no one spoke, Arakawa Kirika looked at Aine.

"Aine, what are you guys talking about here?"

Ai-yin coughed twice before responding.

"Well... it's about the band. Right now it's basically their three former teammates' show, so I guess I'm not in a position to chime in..."

Aine thought about how she had been ostracized by Riki before, and how that annoying guy was now being held in the arms of Arakawa, whom she cared about a lot, so Aine's tone was a little sour.

"You really are..."

Seeing Ai Yin's sarcastic expression, Li hope suddenly got angry. For some reason, she always felt inexplicable hostility towards that pink-haired girl.

And if we investigate the reasons...

Arakawa Kirika had already noticed this.

She noticed that even though Lixi seemed flustered while she was being held, she would still glance at the light every few seconds.

Ah...it's so easy to understand.

Arakawa Kirika quickly understood why Riki was targeting Aine so frequently.

She's jealous because Aine is getting close to the person she admires, Toki.

Therefore, jealousy is indeed the root of all evil.

Arakawa Kirika smiled and then covered Riki's mouth.

"I think I just heard some unladylike words? Don't ever use words like 'you bastard' in front of me again."

Lixi felt her body become extremely stiff.

But she was actually quite impatient inside.

She really wanted to argue back.

Why should I listen to you?

Besides... I... I've never been a lady, and I don't want to be one.

Unfortunately, her mouth was being gagged by Arakawa Kirika, so she couldn't make a sound.

Of course, if one had to say, she could certainly solve this problem.

If I just open my mouth and bite Arakawa Kirika's slender finger hard, making her pull her hand back in pain, then I can speak.

But... in the end, Li hope resigned himself to his fate like a wilted eggplant, and didn't dare to actually take any action to resist.

"Hum..."

Ai Yin watched as that despicable guy changed from his previous arrogant attitude to a wilted eggplant, and her expression suddenly became very pleasant. She also felt an uncontrollable urge to make sarcastic remarks.

"He was so arrogant before, but it seems he can only show off to me. He's just a nobody, a worthless nobody."

……

At that moment, Lixi felt like she was about to turn red.

If it weren't for Arakawa Kirika controlling her, she would probably have slammed her fist on the table and given that annoying pink-haired girl a good "reasoning".

"Aine, come here."

Arakawa Kirika's expression turned very unhappy, and her sharp aura made Aine swallow hard.

Oops... I think I went too far.

Aine regretted it a little, but she had no choice but to obey Arakawa Kirika's orders.

When Arakawa Kirika reached Arakawa Kirika's side, Arakawa Kirika's hand that was covering Riki was moved back to Aine's face.

Then he pinched a soft spot on Aine's cheek and pulled it outwards forcefully.

"It hurts...it hurts...I know I was wrong..."

Arakawa Kirika only let her go after Aine repeatedly begged for mercy.

"Humph."

Lixi was much happier when he saw this, and he mouthed a few words to Aiyin.

Ai Yin rubbed her slightly swollen cheeks while watching Riki's silent words.

"Serves you right?"

He read the sounds of love between the two people from their lips, and immediately clenched his fists, but there was nothing he could do.

Just then, for some reason, Deng suddenly burst into a relaxed laugh.

Everyone was drawn to the lantern's laughter, including Arakawa Kirika.

"What's wrong... with the light?"

Li hope tried her best to ignore Arakawa Kirika behind her, and still looked at the lamp with concern.

The lamp shook its head with a smile before speaking.

"I just feel that... compared to when everyone was silent just now... this kind of playful banter... is much more fun, and it feels more like a band."

This was the truth from the lamp. Although at first she felt a little resentful that Arakawa Kirika had not chosen her but instead hugged Riki.

But soon, the interaction between Lixi and Aine freed her from her gloom.

The awkward atmosphere from before vanished without a trace with the arrival of Wuhua.

As expected... Mist Flowers are a very special existence.

The lamp, with its alluring, silky eyes, stealthily glanced at Arakawa Kirika.

She was very grateful for Kirika's arrival today, and the light seemed to have a premonition... With the arrival of Arakawa Kirika, everyone could finally have a proper conversation.

Aine and Riki also calmed down at this moment.

They exchanged a glance, then looked away in tacit agreement.

They also realized that the atmosphere was much better now than when the four of them were silent at the beginning.

But Li hope firmly refused to admit that it was Arakawa Kirika's doing.

This kind of inhuman scum will only make things worse; he'll never do anything good.

"Anyway, let's continue our previous topic... Everyone, please sit together."

The lamp offered its own suggestions.

Aine obediently sat down next to the lamp, while Arakawa Kirika remained unmoved, continuing to rest her head on Riki's head.

Su Shi gradually regained her senses, because she saw Arakawa Kirika give her a warning look.

So he could only force himself to straighten his back and put on a serious expression.

As for the strange development, a stray cat, carrying the remaining half cup of matcha parfait, also sat down at their table.

"Wait a minute... isn't the number of people a bit off?"

Lixi spoke first.

So everyone turned to look at Ryuna, including Arakawa Kirika, who was also curious as to why Ryuna had chosen to sit here.

But Lena only scooped up a spoonful of parfait, then put the spoon in her mouth with an interested expression. She first glanced at her owner, then turned her gaze to the lamp.

"An interesting woman."

Volume 1: Chapter 83 It's not so bad after all...

The lamp looked around and finally confirmed that the stray cat was indeed talking to it.

The lamp was a little confused; she felt she couldn't understand what the stray cat was saying.

"What's so interesting about someone like me...?"

The lamp's gaze was unfocused, making it seem very insecure.

Arakawa Kirika laughed out loud upon seeing this. She first released Ms. Riki, and then walked to Rakuna's side.

Ryuna readily gave up her seat and sat on Arakawa Kirika's lap, rubbing her head against Arakawa Kirika's chest as usual.

Doesn't it feel uncomfortable to sit on?

Arakawa Kirika affectionately pinched Rakuna's cheek, while inwardly making a silent complaint.

She was very aware of her own physical limitations.

"The lamp is still as oblivious as ever, but Renai has already come to appreciate its charm, hasn't she?"

Arakawa Kirika glanced at the lantern, then vigorously ruffled Ryuna's silver hair, making a mess of it.

Lixi turned her head away because she felt that the scene in front of her was familiar and particularly offensive.

After Arakawa Kirika released her, she naturally breathed a deep sigh of relief, but... why did she feel a strange sense of loss alongside her relief?

Lixi couldn't understand it.

"Even Wuhua says so..."

The lamp's expression became even more puzzled. She simply couldn't understand what was so interesting about herself, an outcast who couldn't even become human and was completely out of place in the world.

"Um……"

Seeing that the lamp still looked unconvinced, Arakawa Kirika had a new idea and looked at Riki.

"Lixi, just tell me a few of my shortcomings."

Arakawa Kirika's tone was casual, but the content of her words terrified Riki.

Pointing out Arakawa Kirika's flaws to her face... Riki almost doubted whether she had misheard something. Although she had cursed Arakawa Kirika countless times in her heart, she simply couldn't bring herself to say those words to her face.

Seeing Riki's flustered expression, Arakawa Kirika smiled with satisfaction and then added.

"This is a one-time exception. You can say whatever you want, and I promise I won't get angry."

As Arakawa Kirika spoke, she rested her chin on Ryuna's shoulder, and Ryuna enjoyed Arakawa Kirika's closeness.
