Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Before choosing Aine, Arakawa Kirika had of course seen Mutsumi's clear golden eyes looking at her with hopeful eyes.

She could tell that Mu really wanted her to choose him.

But... she just didn't want to do that.

This wasn't a new, torturous method she had come up with.

Arakawa Kirika no longer has any intention of hurting Mutsu; this is not because she has had a change of heart.

Rather, she felt that she had already experienced all of Mu's expressions, all her joys and sorrows.

Mu could no longer bring her any new surprises.

Am I already tired of harmony?

Arakawa Kirika thought to herself.

If it were anyone else, she would certainly be certain of this idea.

But... if I've already lost interest in her... why haven't I thrown her away yet...?

If I did that, Mu would definitely show a look of despair.

Arakawa Kirika felt she wouldn't pity Mutsu.

But she couldn't explain why she still kept Mu by her side.

Moreover... she didn't want to see Mu do things for her anymore.

That's why she chose Aine.

"That's good, Aine."

After changing her clothes, Arakawa Kirika walked out of the room before Aine.

She stepped downstairs again and immediately saw Mu.

Although Mutsu quickly reverted to his usual puppet-like state the moment Arakawa Kirika appeared.

But Arakawa Kirika can still see it.

That's clearly an expression of someone who's been crying.

Arakawa Kirika felt the frustration in her heart ferment once again.

She no longer had any expectations for Mu's tearful face.

Because I've seen it countless times.

As expected, it's still as boring as ever, Mu.

But... Arakawa Kirika felt bored with Mutsu.

Yet they still couldn't let go of each other.

In this relationship.

It seems that Mu is not the only one who has been enduring.

What can I do to make Mumu delicious again?

A seemingly insurmountable problem lay before Arakawa Kirika, but her knowledge was utterly useless in solving it.

If it were someone else...

Arakawa Kirika could confidently say that she could discard someone without a second thought once they became bland and tasteless.

Only this girl...

Arakawa Kirika looked at Mutsu's face and frowned coldly.

Mutsuya saw Arakawa Kirika's cold gaze, and in a panic... he quickly lowered his head.

She thought that Wuhua had started to hate her.

Arakawa Kirika really couldn't understand when she had become so indecisive.

Not only did she not get rid of this "burden," she even took the initiative to think about how to make her taste delicious again.

Hey……

Arakawa Kirika let out a long sigh of relief.

She didn't look at Mu again, nor did she look at Xiangzi.

She pushed the door open and walked outside, still remembering her mission.

……

Arakawa Kirika pushed open the iron gate and then took a few steps toward the corner.

She quickly found her target.

Lena was hiding behind the iron fence, her eyes still fixed on the top of the fence.

Lena's expression was very serious, as if she was pondering some difficult problem.

Even when Arakawa Kirika got close, she didn't react.

"I don't think Lena would be able to get over this fence."

Arakawa Kirika immediately caught up with the cat's train of thought.

Lena blinked, a sign that her thoughts had been abruptly interrupted.

Following that familiar voice, Lena immediately saw... the person she had been longing for.

So she immediately rushed to her master.

Arakawa Kirika was caught off guard and was tackled to the ground by Rakuna.

Oops……

Arakawa Kirika felt a sudden dizziness as she was bumped by Ryuna.

In her normal state, she could easily catch Lena, but... in energy-saving mode, she's different from usual; she's now quite weak in combat.

Lena looked at Arakawa Kirika, whom she had tackled to the ground, with a puzzled expression.

Because she used the same amount of force as usual, she knocked Wuhua to the ground in one go.

But... the cat has no intention of getting up.

Although it feels nice to snuggle in Wuhua's arms most of the time.

But the feeling of riding on the other person's waist now... is incredibly comfortable.

"Alright, alright..."

Arakawa Kirika stopped Ryuna from rubbing against her with a hint of helplessness, her tone full of doting affection.

"How did Lena find this place?"

Arakawa Kirika asked softly.

Ronai was still riding on Arakawa Kirika's waist. This white cat with heterochromatic eyes seemed unaware of what kind of achievement she had accomplished.

She was the first person to dare to pin Arakawa Kirika down.

"Aion...carrying a guitar case...sneaking around...following..."

Arakawa Kirika deduced an answer from the cat's words.

So you were looking for Aine after she came here.

She couldn't help but worry about Aine's safety awareness; hadn't she even noticed that someone had been following her the whole way?

"Let me get up first."

Arakawa Kirika struggled to support herself, but she was completely powerless, so she could only beg the cat for mercy.

Renai reluctantly got up from Arakawa Kirika's body.

At the same time, Renai touched her own little bottom, seemingly savoring the feeling of sitting on Arakawa Kirika's waist.

In the end, Arakawa Kirika took Ryuna's hand and led her back to the villa.

……

"Huh? It's actually... Xiao Le Nai."

Aine was taken aback when she saw the person Arakawa Kirika brought back.

Mu kept her head down, her thoughts were in turmoil, she was still thinking about the cold look in Arakawa Kirika's eyes.

A sense of despair, a feeling of being abandoned, lingered around Mu, leaving her with no energy to care about the changes around her.

……

"Now everyone is here."

Arakawa Kirika said.

"However... before that..."

Her phone vibrated again, and this time the vibration was exactly what she expected; she didn't even need to look at her phone.

"I'm hungry, go get something."

Arakawa Kirika turned to Shoko and said.

……

A dazzling array of food was laid out on the table.

"Wow...that's amazing..."

Aine couldn't help but let out a gasp of surprise.

She had already eaten lunch before leaving home today.

But... looking at those exquisite desserts, Aine felt her mouth water.

It's okay... main meals and desserts are served in different stomachs...

Aine convinced herself of this, and so, at Arakawa Kirika's prompting, she didn't stand on ceremony and began to enjoy the food.

After looking around, Lena realized that her favorite matcha parfait and soba noodles were not available, so her expression became somewhat disappointed.
