Aspiring to be a girl in a band

Now, Aine only has this one thought in her mind.

Arakawa Kirika remained silent.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, she still didn't expect Aine to be so bad.

The three mentors surrounding Aine were also wearing masks of pain.

"Um...Aine, are you a beginner?"

Slight twitching was faintly visible on Xiangzi's cheeks. She tried to force a smile so that her face wouldn't look too bad.

"Hmm? I don't think so. I used to be able to play complete pieces... it's just that after neglecting it for a while, I suddenly couldn't play it anymore."

Ai Yin knelt on the ground, honestly confessing, her expression slightly embarrassed.

Hey……

Xiangzi turned his head and sighed silently at the air beside him.

Then she started thinking about what kind of words she could use to avoid embarrassing Aine.

If it were her former "white moonlight" days, she would probably gently pat Aine's head and tell her that everything was fine, and that even from now on, she was confident that she could train Aine well in a short time.

But now... after being battered by life, Xiangzi can hardly have the same leisure time as before.

Lena, on the other hand, went even further.

Almost as soon as Ai Yin uttered the first syllable, the cat trembled and shielded Xiangzi and Mu with her body.

Then, without anyone noticing, he scurried up to Arakawa Kirika's side.

At this moment, she was squatting on the wooden floor, with the back of her head resting on Arakawa Kirika's calf.

Clearly, the idea of ​​teaching Ai Yin guitar had long been forgotten.

Mu still looked at Aine with a poker face.

Until Aine started to feel uneasy.

She didn't know what kind of pressure this teacher, whom Arakawa had assigned to her, would put on her, but Aine could still sense danger in the other person's eyes.

Mu hesitated for a long time before speaking.

"It can't be called playing at all. They haven't even mastered the most basic chords. At this level, there's no value in giving guidance."

Xiangzi, who was standing nearby, was startled.

She hadn't expected Mu to be so... direct.

While Xiangzi was still thinking about how to express himself tactfully, Mu had already completed his combo attack.

That Fiora!!

Aine felt a lump in her throat; Mu's words had undoubtedly broken her heart in an instant.

Although she knows she's really bad at the game right now... she still feels a little sad to be told that so bluntly.

Ai Yin immediately thought of Su Shi.

If Su Shi were here, she would definitely comfort her...

But Aine quickly shook her head again.

No... If I'm always indulging in pleasures... I won't make any progress.

Why did Ai Yin's thinking undergo two complete reversals in less than a second?

Because she saw a hint of disappointment in Arakawa Kirika's eyes.

...For Aine, the hurt caused by Arakawa Kirika's gaze was clearly greater than that caused by Mutsu's words.

So Aine moved her knees, crawled forward a few steps, and then hugged Mutsu's leg.

"I know I'm very weak right now... Please don't give up on me, maybe there's still a chance to save me?"

Aine felt her cheeks getting hot as she made this gesture, but there was nothing she could do about it.

Because she could sense that the girl named "Mu" had absolutely no interest in her, and even seemed somewhat resistant. If she didn't shamelessly stick to her at this point, no one else would be able to teach her.

Mutsu's expression turned slightly flustered when Aine suddenly hugged his leg.

She immediately turned around to see Arakawa Kirika's reaction.

He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that Arakawa Kirika's expression was normal.

Through years of accumulated manipulation, Mutsu had long since developed a sense that her body belonged to Kirika.

Therefore, she was afraid that being hugged by someone would upset Arakawa Kirika.

As a result, Mutsu's impression of Aine worsened.

But... Arakawa Kirika also ordered her to make sure she taught Aine well.

So Mu could only suppress his inner resentment and help Aine up.

Volume 1: Chapter 96 - A World-Famous Painting: "Musa Teaching Ai to Play the Guitar"

The room felt harmonious at that moment.

Mu's teaching work also began to improve.

Mu soon discovered that Ai Yin was not a person without talent; on the contrary, Ai Yin was very smart and often understood things very quickly.

So... why is her skill level so low?

Mu came up with an answer.

It must be because the other person is too lazy.

He looks like the type who thinks playing in a band will make him famous, so he bought a guitar out of sheer enthusiasm.

But that passion was quickly worn down by the monotonous practice day after day, and the guitar soon ended up gathering dust in a corner.

Maybe you'll only play a few minutes of piano each day before lying in bed watching videos...

Mu glanced at Aine coldly.

This caused Aine to freeze instantly, then she gave an awkward smile.

"Um...did I play it wrong again?"

Although Aine felt that she hadn't made a mistake with the chords just now, seeing Mutsu's expression instantly made her doubt herself.

Mutsu glanced furtively in the direction of Arakawa Kirika.

At this moment, Arakawa Kirika was enjoying Shoko's massage while tossing the snacks in her hand into Rakuna's mouth.

Mu quickly looked away.

The more you look in that direction, the sadder you'll become.

Mu subconsciously vented this nameless anger on Aine.

"I am now your teacher, so I should use a respectful title."

amount……

Ai Yin wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She never expected that this girl, who looked somewhat frail... or even had a masochistic temperament, would be even stricter than Li hope.

Using honorifics to address people my own age...it's so embarrassing.

Ai Yin blushed.

But considering that he was now in need of their help, he hesitated for a while before choosing to compromise.

"I understand... Wakaba... Teacher."

"Ah."

Hearing Ai Yin call him "teacher," Mu's expression softened slightly.

Her insistence on inviting Aine to use the honorific title also concealed a little of her own ulterior motive.

She wanted Aine to realize this.

I am someone who is above her.

So how can a student steal a teacher's boyfriend, right?

……

"It seems like things are getting better over there."

Arakawa Kirika lay on the sofa and glanced in the direction of Mutsu and Aine.

Then Arakawa Kirika hugged Ryuna's head and rubbed it vigorously.

"It's time for Lazy Cat to play a role. Isn't Aine your teammate?"

After kneading Ryuna's cheeks, Arakawa Kirika pushed Ryuna away, gesturing for her to go to the other side.

Ronna touched her cheek, which was rubbed red and swollen, and gave Arakawa Kirika a resentful look before reluctantly walking towards Aine.

Congratulations on your nomination of the music artist! +1 mentorship.

Now only Arakawa Kirika and Shoko remain.

"Okay, stop pressing."

To be honest, Xiangzi's massage technique was terrible and not comfortable at all, after all, he used to be a rich young lady.

Arakawa Kirika simply enjoyed the feeling of Shoko bowing down to serve her; the quality of the service was not particularly important.

Upon hearing Arakawa Kirika's words, Xiangzi obediently stopped what he was doing. After being allowed to rest, Xiangzi immediately looked at his childhood sweetheart.

Mu seems to be doing alright.

Is it because you have someone to vent to that you feel a little better...?

Xiangzi looked at Aine, who had knelt down on the ground again to admit her mistake, and silently mourned for Aine for three seconds.

Once Mu gets serious, it's hard to stop her... Even Xiangzi isn't confident he can calm her down now.

Poor Aine... She had just escaped Riki's oppressive aura, but little did she know that she had entered a new hell.

"Come lie down with me for a while."
