Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Please make sure you keep your word!

Ai Yin did not reply further.

At this moment, Aine was sitting on the tatami mat in her room, sulking.

Why does Arakawa always treat herself and Akari differently...?

Aine had a mournful expression on her face.

She also wants to get closer to Arakawa-kun...

Aine glanced at the message from Arakawa Kirika again, then tossed her phone aside.

They have pride too, and I'm getting angry just being left hanging like this!

Aine revealed a resolute expression, thinking that she would absolutely not pay any attention to Arakawa Kirika again today.

But Arakawa Kirika on the other side had already burst out laughing.

She glanced at the time casually, then sat down to wait.

She wanted to see how long Aine could hold out.

The final result... was Aine's complete defeat.

Ai Yin, who had planned to pass the day by watching short videos, found her frustration growing stronger.

Later on, she couldn't concentrate on watching the videos at all.

Aine's mind was filled with thoughts about Arakawa Kirika.

It was only then that Aine realized that Arakawa Kirika had unknowingly occupied such an important place in her heart.

So Aine begged for mercy.

【Ah... I can't take it anymore, please talk to me, Arakawa-kun!!!】

This time, Aine's text was accompanied by a "tears streaming down her face" emoji.

Arakawa Kirika checked the time and then typed.

[Congratulations on successfully persisting for one hour and 14 minutes, Ai Yin! You have real guts!]

When Aine saw Arakawa Kirika's sarcastic words on the other end of the phone, she blushed deeply.

Although it's true that I was the one who started the boasting... why is Arakawa always so malicious?

Ai Yin shook her head, reminding herself not to worry about the details, and then typed.

"Say something to them, Arakawa-kun."

Aine's expression turned somewhat aggrieved.

Since Aine has begged so humbly, I'll take pity on you and chat with you a little longer.

Arakawa Kirika, on a whim, used a rather quirky tone.

Aine's mood improved a lot because Arakawa Kirika said she was willing to chat with her a little longer.

But Arakawa Kirika then added.

But before that, I think Aine needs to apologize to me first.

Apologize?

Ai Yin looked at the message on her phone screen and nodded in confusion. She didn't quite understand why she had to apologize.

But... since it was Arakawa-san's request... apologizing isn't a big deal.

So Aine replied.

"Um... I was wrong."

[Aine...replied so quickly, has she really realized her mistake?]

Arakawa Kirika expressed her doubts.

But Aine stubbornly insisted.

Yes, they know they were wrong.

Actually, she had no idea what she had done wrong, but fortunately, Arakawa Kirika was too lazy to ask.

[Since Aine said so, I'll believe her. However, it's not "hmm." From now on, Aine, you have to say "woof."]

ha?

Ai-yin's eyes widened.

She didn't understand why she had to add dog-like verbal tic... what did it have to do with admitting her mistake?

Do you understand, Aine?

Arakawa Kirika asked.

Hmm... Although Aine is a little resistant right now, she thinks that if it can make Arakawa happy... then doing it isn't so hard to accept.

It's just typing, not saying it face-to-face.

So she replied.

"Hmm...I know, woof..."

Seeing that Aine had actually done as she had said, Arakawa Kirika smiled with satisfaction.

How's your guitar practice going?

Because she was in a better mood, Arakawa Kirika took the initiative to talk to Aine.

[Woof... I'm much better than at the beginning, but... the gap between me and everyone else is still obvious, woof. I don't want to hold everyone back, woof, but... my progress is really slow because I'm working on it all by myself. woof.]

Aine clearly remembered her current character setting, so in accordance with Arakawa Kirika's request, she added the verbal tics of a pet dog to the text.

[If only I had a teacher to instruct me, things would be so much easier. woof.]

Ai Yin added.

Arakawa Kirika looked at the sentence and fell into thought.

Teachers...

Arakawa Kirika was initially a little confused, since Rakuna had already joined their band.

With an expert like Rakuna by her side, Aine should be able to learn a lot just by asking her for advice... Oh...

Arakawa Kirika suddenly understood.

Aine was too embarrassed to ask a cat younger than herself for advice.

Then Arakawa Kirika thought of Shoko again.

Xiangzi's music theory knowledge is certainly up to standard, and he would have no problem being Ai Yin's teacher.

However, since Aiyin wants to learn guitar, it would be best to find her a professional teacher.

Because Aine's tone included the word "woof," Arakawa Kirika naturally regarded Aine as her pet.

She has always been quite gentle with pets.

Specialized teachers...

Arakawa Kirika's lips curled into a smile.

I've confirmed that I haven't seen Mu for a while.

So she sent a series of messages to Mu and Aine respectively.

That's what I said to Aine.

[If it's this Saturday, I can find a tutor for Aiyin.]

What Mu said was...

[Mu, come see me on Saturday]

Volume 1: Chapter 91 The Transformation of Offense and Defense

Toyokawa Shoko sat up in bed.

She woke up very early today. The alarm clock hadn't even gone off yet.

She looked at the sky outside the window.

A sliver of dawn appeared on the distant horizon.

The first rays of dawn dispelled the gloom that had enveloped the earth.

It looks like a bright, sunny day.

Just like Xiangzi's current feelings.

Xiangzi stretched her shoulders and neck; she had slept very well, which was why she was so energetic.

Xiangzi turned his head and glanced at the calendar on his bedside table.

There was also a pen next to the calendar.

Xiangzi had circled the word "Saturday" in large letters on the calendar with a black pen.

Today... she's going to spend another day alone with that scumbag.

Xiangzi recalled the terrible things that scumbag had done to him last week.

"Not even an apology..."

Xiangzi suddenly muttered something mournfully.

Of course, she didn't know that Arakawa Kirika had come to see her. Although she had discovered many suspicious things during these days, Xiangzi obviously wouldn't connect her father's changes with Arakawa Kirika.

Therefore, from her perspective, Arakawa Kirika never apologized after hurting her.

The good mood I had gotten from a good night's sleep vanished almost entirely after I thought of Arakawa Kirika.

But as the saying goes, what is meant to be a blessing will not be a curse, and what is meant to be a curse cannot be avoided.

Xiangzi had no choice but to face reality and quickly got up to tidy up his belongings.

And before exiting the gate, quietly offer a prayer.
