Aspiring to be a girl in a band

But Aine is a good girl who can read the room, so she nodded in agreement.

"Hmm... I think that's right too."

"I... will always support Lamp, because Lamp is the best."

Lixi patted her cheeks to clear her head, then looked firmly at the lamp.

"puff……"

Nagasaki Motoyo seemed to suddenly remember something and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Her laughter immediately drew everyone's attention.

Then Su Shi said.

"Sorry... I just remembered something funny. Actually, after Xiangzi left Crychic, Lixi was waiting for Deng every day. She must be hoping that Deng will come back to practice."

Eh?

Deng was visibly taken aback when she heard Su Shi's words, and then looked at Li hope.

Li hope's emotions, which she had finally managed to compose herself, were thrown into chaos again after Su Shi suddenly exposed her secret.

"Lixi...aren't you angry?"

The lamp carefully checked.

But Lixi's reaction was very strong.

"How could I be angry with the lamp?!"

Lixi spoke loudly, almost standing up from his seat.

"That's because... Lixi loves lamps the most, right?"

Su Shi continued to deliver the final blow.

"ha???!!"

Lixi's voice trailed off, her face turning completely red. Compared to when she was being teased by Arakawa Kirika, she was clearly more agitated now.

Gee...

Arakawa Kirika, watching from the sidelines, savored everything before her with a delighted expression; what a show!

It was definitely the right decision to come to the ring today; it was an absolutely fantastic entertainment.

Arakawa Kirika held Ryuna in her arms while also holding Ryuna's cat paws in her hands, wiggling Ryuna's soft fingers.

She buried her face in the back of Lena's neck, absorbing the energy from the cat while also imparting her own scent to Lena.

the other side.

The lamp's expression softened with a sense of relief.

One of the questions that had been troubling her was finally answered.

Because she always thought... Li hope didn't like her.

After all, Li hope had once spoken so harshly and angrily to her, so it's understandable that Deng would have such thoughts.

But just now, Deng learned from Su Shi that Li hope did not hate him.

In this way, the misunderstanding was cleared up.

"Then... let's start over."

Taking this opportunity, Nagasaki Motoyo quickly put forward a proposal.

"Me, Deng, and Lixi... let's get back together."

Ahh...

Arakawa Kirika found it hard to suppress the upward curve of her lips.

She looked in Aine's direction.

That innocent pink-haired girl seemed completely unaware that she hadn't been included in Su Shi's calculations at all.

……

Ai-yin listened from the side, but belatedly realized that something was wrong.

She noticed that the three people in front of her were getting along very well, and their relationship had clearly warmed up a lot compared to the beginning... but they didn't mention her much.

So Aine awkwardly chose to interrupt.

"And... what about me?"

Ai Yin's smile looked a little forced, and there was a noticeable bead of sweat on her forehead.

"what?"

Lixi glanced at Aiyin impatiently.

Su Shi's first reaction was to ignore it, because her band didn't need outsiders. But... Arakawa Kirika had given her a firm order to give Aine her full approval, and besides, Arakawa Kirika herself was there, so she couldn't disobey. Therefore, she could only bite the bullet and say it.

"Of course... Aine is included too."

"Hmm... Let's have Aine too."

The lamp smiled and echoed.

Seeing that she hadn't been forgotten, Aine breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, the cat in Arakawa Kirika's arms jumped off Arakawa Kirika's lap and walked to the lamp.

"I want to join too. Let's form a band together."

The lamp took a closer look at the stray cat in front of it.

The lamp no longer feels jealous of Lena.

She, on the contrary, held the idea of ​​loving the house and its inhabitants because of it.

She likes Wuhua, and Wuhua likes this stray cat, so she can try to like this stray cat too.

So she nodded and then said.

"Hmm... then let's all get together... form a band... for life."

lifetime?

This keyword has once again attracted everyone's attention.

Su Shi was a little shocked, but quickly regained her composure. After all, she wouldn't lose anything by agreeing first.

Li hope's attitude was quite firm.

"I swear I'd stay with the lamp forever."

Lena seemed very happy because she heard the word "a lifetime" again.

Although Lena is a stray cat with no fixed abode, she also harbors a heart that longs to find a home.

But Aine was getting a little anxious, and she quickly stood up from her chair.

"Wait, wait... How could you all make such a hasty decision... Do you even know how long a lifetime is...?"

"Hmph, if you don't have that kind of awareness, I advise you to quit as soon as possible."

Lixi doesn't let go of any opportunity to attack Aine.

"Hmm...a lifetime..."

Ai Yin frowned, looking very troubled. She was seriously considering whether a lifelong band was a viable option.

In a sense, Aine is the one who is most responsible for the lamp.

No... these people are all too caught up in their own thoughts, and I feel like I can't persuade them. At this point, why don't we ask Arakawa-san to say something? Everyone would definitely be willing to listen to what Arakawa-san has to say.

Aine made up her mind to go find Arakawa Kirika, but then she discovered...

Arakawa Kirika had somehow arrived at the entrance of the ring.

She glanced at Aine with a mocking expression before pushing open the door.

Volume 1: Chapter 85 The Date

The sun sets in the west, and the evening wind is bleak.

Arakawa Kirika stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a cup of tea in her hand, silently observing the golden sun sinking into the mountain ridge.

The scenery at dusk, at the moment of transition between light and dark, is always so enchanting.

Arakawa Kirika drew the curtains with satisfaction and then sat down in a chair.

She glanced at her phone, but before picking it up, she had a brief moment of reflection.

Because... she felt that she was spending more time on her phone than reading books lately, which was not a good sign.

The screen displays information about the lights.

[Many thanks to the mist flowers today.]

Arakawa Kirika found it a bit strange, so she replied.

I don't remember doing anything that deserves my gratitude.

[Hmm... I knew it, Wuhua would say that.]

It seems the other side of the lamp had been prepared for this.

Although Wuhua herself might not think much of it, she really helped me a lot. Because of Wuhua, everyone was able to clear up the misunderstandings... and then take a step forward together.

The words were filled with the light's gratitude, but Arakawa Kirika just felt a little bored. She rubbed her left shoulder with her right hand and continued typing.

Is there anything else? If not, let's leave it at that.

Arakawa Kirika wanted to take the initiative to end this conversation, which was of no interest to her.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the line. The message had already been marked as read, but there was no reply.

Arakawa Kirika was about to put down her phone when she saw this, but the next second...

The lamp information has been updated again.

[Mist Flower... Can you tell me why Xiangzi left Crychic? You must know, right...?]
