Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Damn it... I blew her out! You said it yourself.

Lixi secretly mustered her courage and then spoke.

"There are just too many to count! Arrogant, haughty, self-righteous, always ignoring others... and a womanizer too, he's the worst scum I've ever seen."

Lixi poured out all the words she had kept buried in her heart, and felt incredibly relieved after venting them.

But then she saw that Ai-yin, Deng, and Su-shi were all looking at her nervously.

This made her nervous.

Oh right... Although that scumbag said he wouldn't get angry... who can guarantee that it's true? If she gets angry, no one present can handle it.

Was I... too naive...? Why did I just tell that scumbag when he told me to...?

Li hope first slunk back into his chair, then glanced at Arakawa Kirika's expression out of the corner of his eye.

Fortunately, just as she had promised, Arakawa Kirika did not show any anger on her face, and still wore a calm smile.

Lixi breathed a sigh of relief.

But I didn't dare add anything more.

"Is that all? I'm a little surprised. Lixi, you clearly said 'countless,' but you summed it up in just one sentence."

Arakawa Kirika smiled and shrugged.

At that moment, Ryuna, who was in Arakawa Kirika's arms, turned her head and looked at her with some confusion.

"Mist Flower...is she scum?"

Le Nai tilted her head, her heterochromatic eyes blinking, making her exceptionally cute.

"Hmm, it seems like I'm often described that way."

Arakawa Kirika seemed completely unconcerned about those two words.

Lena fell into deep thought, but only for two seconds.

"Wuhua is a good person, I like Wuhua."

Rakuna raised her head, looked directly into Arakawa Kirika's eyes, and spoke very seriously.

Arakawa Kirika didn't seem to care much about this.

She never takes other people's opinions to heart; whether the comments are negative or positive, they don't cause her any ripples.

But she still seemed very happy, and with a smile, she ruffled Lena's hair again.

"Thank you then, my Lena."

The people standing nearby were stunned by this heartwarming scene, but... their reasons for being stunned were all different.

Hmm... I'm so envious. I wish Arakawa-kun could pat my head like that too...

Ai Yin glared at the cat through gritted teeth.

She felt a sense of...repulsion towards this silver-haired girl.

Because Aine had witnessed Rakuna's guitar skills firsthand, which were beyond her reach, Aine always naturally felt a sense of crisis in front of Rakuna.

Moreover... now that cat has easily accomplished what she's always wanted to achieve, which makes Aine even more furious.

As for the lamp... firstly, there was some doubt. The lamp had a premonition that Arakawa Kirika's request for Riki to point out her shortcomings... must have some deeper meaning.

But soon, she also felt jealous, so she had no time to think about what Arakawa Kirika's purpose was.

All she wants now is to switch roles with that cat and sit in Arakawa Kirika's lap.

Su Shi was simply shocked that Arakawa Kirika could have such a gentle side.

Li hope, on the other hand, was shocked by the cat's words.

Why could that cat say the word "like" so naturally...?

Lixi felt a little bitter. She thought that if she could be as straightforward as Maomao in expressing her feelings, she might not have missed out on so many things.

Just as the group was deep in thought, Arakawa Kirika's voice brought them back to reality.

"Deng, guess why I made Lixi point out my flaws?"

Arakawa Kirika looked at the lamp with great interest.

The lamp's eyebrows were almost furrowed into a "川" shape.

She had absolutely no idea why Arakawa Kirika would do this.

The other three were clearly just as confused.

Thus, Arakawa Kirika could only ask and answer her own questions.

"Because... I want to tell the lamp. The key to why people are attracted to others is not how many flaws that person has, but how much charm they possess."

After giving a brief explanation to the lamp, Arakawa Kirika turned her gaze to Riki.

"So, Lixi, please continue to tell me, do you like me?"

Arakawa Kirika's face still wore that confident, relaxed smile.

Ha! ~! ! ! ?

The girl named Shiina Tatsuki was in an uproar.

She never expected that Arakawa Kirika would ask her such a question, especially in such a direct way.

How should I answer this?

For a moment, Li hope felt his mind go completely blank.

I... I must really hate her, right?

I should hate her the most...

This scumbag is constantly hurting the people around him. He's always so arrogant and unreasonable, and he always ignores her and never cares about her feelings.

Moreover... he's juggling multiple relationships.

How could I possibly like such a scumbag?

After clearing his thoughts, Lixi found the answer in his heart.

Of course, she wanted to say "I hate you" with a clear conscience.

But why?

The words were on the tip of my tongue, but their meaning completely changed.

"Anyway... it's not that I hate it..."

Lixi's face turned slightly red, and her eyes became more evasive.

"Oh my? Oh my oh?"

Ai Yin covered her mouth, as if trying to suppress a laugh. Looking at Li hope, who had become inexplicably shy, she decisively chose to utter some teasing tones that were difficult to decipher.

Aine's actions only earned her a glare from Ms. Riki, but because Arakawa Kirika was present, Riki didn't dare to talk back to Aine.

Ai Yin seemed to be taking advantage of Li Xi's power, and when she saw Li hope, she didn't dare to speak, and her smile became even brighter.

Arakawa Kirika ignored the interaction between the two and continued to look at the lantern.

“Look, the lamp. Lixi, who was just scolding me, doesn’t dislike me. This clearly proves my theory.”

Arakawa Kirika pinched a strand of Ryuna's silver hair with her fingers and played with it carefully.

The lamp seemed to be deep in thought.

Arakawa Kirika was satisfied with Akari's reaction, so she continued.

"So don't underestimate yourself, Lamp. Although I think you're still a long way from becoming human, there's no doubt you're a charming girl. Almost everyone here is gathered here because of you, and that's what makes you interesting."

I was praised...

The lamp felt a surge of warmth in its heart, enveloping and purifying all those dark thoughts.

At that moment, the lamp became even more certain of its idea.

Wuhua is the most special person to me.

I have never been as afraid of Kirika as others have been, nor have I ever felt that Arakawa Kirika was distant or unapproachable.

To her, Arakawa Kirika was perfect except for her slightly overbearing personality.

Moreover... Wuhua does possess a unique charm.

Despite being the same age as each other, Wuhua always sees things very clearly and can also point out the direction for herself from a certain height.

Just like... a mature adult.

Is this what they call a sense of security?

That's what Akari thought, and she was certain of it, because she felt very relaxed whenever she was near Arakawa Kirika.

“That’s right… We’ve all come together again because of the light, so… I don’t want the light to continue blaming himself. Let’s… look forward together.”

Finally, Miss Su Shi, who hadn't spoken for a long time, spoke up.

She paused noticeably when she said the words "look forward".

Motoyo Nagasaki is not a person without self-awareness.

She knew from beginning to end that Xiangzi was right to criticize her.

She was indeed a boring person who was stuck in the past and unwilling to move forward.

For someone so deeply immersed in the past to look forward is incredibly ironic.

But... in order to maintain her "big sister" persona within the team and to show Arakawa Kirika that she was diligently completing the mission, she had no choice but to say these insincere words.

At that moment, Aine's expression seemed a bit awkward.

She really wanted to say it.

Wasn't this band started by her...?

Has she been forgotten...?
