Moreover, being in the same agency as Chu Hua would reduce many labor contract disputes, and there would be fewer obstacles to recruiting Chu Hua into the new band.
"Hmm? Lixi-chan... who is this person with a pink lotus flower profile picture and the nickname 'Annnnn' on your phone?"
"Ah! No, that's not it!"
"Huh?" Nanami Natsuki placed a finger on Ritsuki's lips. "Why are you in such a hurry, Ritsuki-chan? Did you talk to her about something you don't want me to know? Let me see..."
"Uh, why is everything in English?"
"Can't you read English?"
"I can certainly understand normal English, but I really can't understand English that sounds like it's been machine-translated on both sides."
"Heh... Stop being so conceited. This is authentic British English. She's a London-born genius."
"..."
Could this idiot Lixi have been tricked? She definitely has.
"Actually, it's nothing. She's a fan of my channel, a high school girl living in London, England. We both love music, and she... oh right!"
What are you doing, making such a fuss?
"Xiaoyue, didn't you plan to come and help me? You even said you'd start learning guitar now... But even with Xiangzi's talent alone, he probably couldn't solve all the possible difficulties, right?"
"Stop." Nanami Natsuki made a stop gesture, then said with a serious expression, "I never said I wanted to continue relying on Sho's talent, please, your Sho isn't a musical idiot, okay!"
"Forehead......"
Actually, Lixi was quite embarrassed to talk about these topics, because compared to Xiaoyue, her economic conditions were definitely much better. However, Xiaoyue chose to let her take on the keyboard work in order to accommodate her, which meant that the electronic keyboard placed in Qihai's house was a waste of money.
Of course, this isn't a big problem. Even if you can't return it, you can resell it and the two of you can pool your money to buy a suitable guitar.
The most crucial issue is that Xiaoyue said she had never learned guitar before, only bass for a few days with Su Shi, and she couldn't continue learning for reasons that everyone knows.
Although she knew Chu Hua could play the guitar, she still considered the possibility of a romantic relationship between the two...
I need to ask someone else. It's not appropriate to ask Xiao Mu, and I don't know how to play the guitar, so I can only trouble this girl named Ann who lives in London.
“I’ll find you a very reliable teacher. I believe she will be willing to help you. Although... she can’t teach you face-to-face in the UK, you can still send her a video and she can correct your mistakes.”
"Um... is this okay?"
"Don't worry, we got along really well, and she's a fan of mine, so she definitely won't reject me."
"...Lixi, how come you're even worse than me?"
"Is this... considered bad?"
Lixi paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that she didn't really think there was anything wrong with what she had just said.
"It's not that bad, then go and ask."
"it is good."
............
"Ah, it's finally over... The interview went really well."
Chihaya Aine held the school uniform she had just received. Hmm... although she actually preferred the uniform she wore at Culford School in England, she figured it was probably just because she was curious about the style of school uniforms in another country.
No, why is she thinking about those things again...? She should forget about them. She, Chihaya Aine, has never been abroad...
As Aine walked home from Haneoka Girls' High School, she thought back to a performance she had seen at RiNG LIVE HOUSE the day before, after a good night's sleep.
"That's wonderful... That girl playing the piano was so beautiful and dazzling. But if it were me, I probably wouldn't have known whether I should go on stage or not."
Although Ai Yin didn't know much about the band's background, she figured they must have had an unpleasant past.
Not everyone can accept their past self without any burden. At least Aine now doesn't want to run into her middle school classmates at this school.
The girl, sitting on the train, took out her phone and opened LINE to find her middle school classmates. But she couldn't just ask them directly where they were going to school now, could she?
Besides, the school has already made its decision, so it's too late to ask now...
"Huh? It's that musician Oblivionis?!"
Just as Ai Yin was about to put down her phone, she unexpectedly received a message from this person.
"Hmm... does this mean she needs my help with something?"
Ai Yin still really enjoys listening to the songs created by Ob, the "Miss Alphabet." Although many people online complain that the videos are poorly made, and some even slander Ob without evidence, claiming that she is not an independent musician but a self-packaged team.
But only Aine herself knows that Ms. Ob is really amazing. Not only is she a great songwriter, but she is also a very friendly person.
"Please don't say you're going to England to find me..."
Faced with her idol's request, Aine thought for a moment and asked what kind of help it was before deciding whether to help or not. In any case, as long as they didn't meet in real life, the friendship between her and her idol across the internet would not be broken.
"Hey? You want me to help out with her friend who's just starting to learn guitar when I have time?"
Isn't this her strongest area of expertise?!
"Hmm...and there's no need for face-to-face instruction. I just need to occasionally check if my fingering is correct based on the selfie videos they send me...Wow! They even said they'd pay me?"
Aine quickly typed to decline the payment, because she was already happy to have the opportunity to help her idol, and besides... wasn't he just a newbie? She might not be as good as a professional, but teaching a newbie was a piece of cake, right?
After exchanging a few more words with Ms. Ob in her somewhat broken Japanese-English, Aine arrived at her doorstep.
After taking out her keys, opening the door, and exchanging a few words with her mother about how things were settled at school, a somewhat excited Chihaya Aine grabbed her phone and strode upstairs.
"Nanami... So my student's last name is Nanami? Ugh... This is so troublesome, I have to keep using English."
But this was a lie she told herself, and now she can only grit her teeth and keep up the lie.
Chihaya Aine certainly knew the simple truth that one lie could lead to another, and that she might reveal at any time that she wasn't actually British.
So... was she really too smug back then?
Ai Yin shook her head, her expression turning somewhat bitter. "What's there to be proud of... I was such a failure back then."
Creating a local identity online is probably just a way to escape the embarrassment of reality.
Because she couldn't fit into the group at school, she felt very frustrated, even though she had always been good at integrating into groups and becoming the center of attention. That's why she made up that lie, isn't it?
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened when she chatted with this Nanami. In fact, she could be described as a person with high emotional intelligence. When chatting with her, she could always feel a sense of superiority as a mentor.
Wearing her pajamas, Ai Yin chatted while shuffling through the bookshelves in her slippers, searching for books she used when she was learning guitar.
Well... it's been a while since she's looked at these books, so she doesn't quite recognize the content and titles anymore. But they should still be good enough to recommend to beginners.
But when Ai Yin put down her phone and picked up the guitar, which she hadn't played in a long time, her brain went blank for a moment.
"Eh... how do you play it again? No, no way... I forgot?!"
Chihaya Aine is facing a major crisis!
She, a guitar teacher, had completely forgotten how to play the guitar... Oh no, is it too late to turn down this job now?
Just then, Aine received a barrage of compliments from Nanami on her phone. The gratitude and admiration in Nanami's words greatly satisfied the girl's vanity.
"Hehehehe, how can there be such a good student..." Ai Yin, who was holding her phone and laughing like an idiot, lay back on the sofa and kept twisting her body, looking completely absorbed in the moment.
However, Aine quickly lost her joy.
Just as she was reaching the height of her smugness, this girl named Nanami sent her a message written in English that made her eyes widen in disbelief:
【Nanami: Teacher, you're actually a foreign student studying in the UK, aren't you?】
The translation is: Teacher, you are actually an international student studying in the UK, right?
Before Ai-yin could think of a way to argue her way out, her good student sent her another message:
[Nanami: Perhaps, you are actually Japanese?]
Yes, this time the other party used Japanese directly!
Should I admit it...? But if I admit it, Nanami will definitely tell Miss Ob, right? Then I'll be...
[Nanami: Don't worry, teacher, I won't tell Oblivionis.]
"Huh?"
Does this Nanami have mind-reading abilities? How does she know what she's thinking right now...?
However, the girl opposite her didn't seem to give her a chance to catch her breath, and continued to explain without waiting for Aine's reply:
[Nanami: Teacher, your English has many inappropriate word choices; you're clearly not a local. And you're listening to a Japanese song written by Oblivionis, which is why I made that guess.]
So that's how it was exposed... What should I do? Although it's not a particularly scary thing, and it's unlikely that I'll actually see my middle school classmates.
However, Aine still hesitated about whether to admit it.
[Nanami: Okay, I shouldn't have asked you that. It's almost dinnertime, teacher. Could you help me decide which guitar to buy after you've finished dinner?]
Phew... does this mean they're not going to pursue this further?
Ai Yin breathed a sigh of relief and sent an "OK".
However......
[Nanami: Huh? They should have just finished breakfast in the UK, right?]
"...Aaaaaaah!!!"
Hasn't she been completely seen through?
Although she was somewhat unwilling, Aine wasn't the type to deny everything the other person had said, and besides... Nanami was actually a very easy person to talk to, right? Moreover, the other person didn't even know where she was from.
Ann: Yes, you're right, but I didn't lie with any bad intentions. I'm sorry.
[Nanami: It's okay, teacher. I'm just really happy. If this is the case, I can see you in Tokyo, right?]
[Ann: Well... Tokyo is quite big, isn't it?]
[Nanami: Teacher, you really do live in Tokyo.]
"..."
For some reason, Aine suddenly felt a little scared. Although she didn't think her cheap student had any ill intentions... wasn't this ability to get information a little too good?
Is it better for her to keep quiet now, otherwise it seems like she's really going to be exposed by the other party?
To be honest, Ai Yin even considered blocking the other person, but then she remembered that blocking others is a bad thing to do. After all, she has always believed that if you're not busy, you should answer the phone immediately and reply to messages promptly; these are basic human courtesy.
Moreover, Nanami on the other end of the internet didn't seem to intend to ask her about her time studying in the UK, nor did she ask why she returned to China.
This topic... seems to have really come to an end. Ultimately, it seems the other party simply felt that it was inconvenient for two Japanese people to communicate in English?
