Gravity Girl Shining

Page 56

As an absolute hard worker and a hard worker, Shiina Riki has absolutely no tolerance for lateness, even if it's someone like Deng or Xiang. As for the last pink guy, there's even less need for tolerance!

Takamatsu Touma was about to speak when Aine grabbed the corner of his clothes. Aine nodded, making Touma follow her gaze and look at Uehara Hibiki.

A boyfriend who has shouldered the burden of his life now has to take the blame.

"I'm sorry, I forgot to check the time and got delayed at school. As the captain, I really shouldn't have made this mistake. I'm truly sorry."

Uehara Hibiki stood up obediently and accepted the criticism. There was nothing he could do about it, as it was indeed his fault this time.

The land of gentleness is indeed the tomb of heroes. I must set the alarm next time.

"Okay, Riki, it's not like Uehara-kun did this on purpose, and it's only a ten-minute delay, so let's get back to practicing."

Thank you for your help, Sushima!

Hibiki Uehara immediately burst into tears. It turns out that every band must have a mother.

Seeing Uehara Hibiki's sincere apology, Shiina Riki finally gave in.

"Okay, don't do it again next time. Stray cat, stop eating and come here quickly to get ready for practice."

Hearing that they could practice, Kaname quickly stuffed the half-eaten matcha cake into her mouth, wiped her hands, and ran over. However, when she passed by Uehara Hibiki, the cat girl seemed to notice something.

"stare……"

Uehara Hibiki subconsciously shrank his neck. Although he had put a Band-Aid on it, and at Aine's suggestion, he buttoned up one more button on his coat and turned up the collar of his shirt, completely covering the wound so that it wouldn't be visible from the outside.

But the other party is that Rakuten, the magical cat who can hear the sounds of all things. If she were on another set, she could become the Pirate King.

Uehara Hibiki couldn't fathom her thoughts; she seemed to be in a quantum superposition of human and cat, clever and silly. But seeing Lenai's greedy face, her mouth stuffed to the brim, he decided to give in.

"After practice, would you like to have a matcha parfait?"

"Uh-huh!"

The cat girl nodded and ran away happily.

How should I put it? Although I often feel like I’m feeding a cat, that cunning smell is still lingering.

Is it the human who is feeding the cat, or is the cat deliberately playing tricks on the human?

Just as Uehara Hibiki was thinking, a gentle greeting came from the left.

"Did Uehara-kun change his look today? His collar is turned up."

Don't be so sensitive in such a place, Mom Su Shi!

Uehara Hibiki steeled his nerves and put on a relaxed expression.

"Well, it was Aine's suggestion. She hasn't worn boys' clothes much, and she wanted to see what style would suit me."

"I see."

"Don't whisper to each other over there."

Today's practice began with the sound of Shiina Riki's drumsticks.

Chapter 56 Happy Chocolate.

"Lixi, you got off work so late today, and you're the only one here now. Where are the others?"

After two hours of practice, RING also began to prepare for the night show. When Uehara Hibiki saw Aine and Tou off and they boarded the train home, they slowly returned to the cafe, only to find that Shiina Riki was the only one left there.

After looking up at Uehara Hibiki, Shiina Riki pretended to be indifferent and wiped the cup.

The seniors from "Poppin" Party are having a live performance today, so I'm just here to watch for a while. Anyway, there won't be many customers in the cafe during the live performance."

"Haha, that's not frank enough, Lixi."

Uehara Hibiki sat down at the counter, her eyes fixed on Shiina Riki's swaying until she could no longer ignore it.

"What do you want to say?"

"I care about you. After all, you are not only my band member, but also a friend."

Uehara Hibiki took out his cell phone and waved it in front of Li Xi's eyes. The current time was shown on it, and the hour hand was ticking away every second.

"You've never worked at night before. You'd be home at six at the latest. But today you're working at this time. I don't think it's a coincidence."

I didn't expect to be exposed in such a place, but Shiina Riki had no intention of admitting defeat. If it were at this point...

"You too, it's getting late, why haven't you gone to work yet?"

“I was fired.”

Uehara Hibiki thought about the manager's arrangement. In a sense, was this considered a dismissal? Or was it a graduation from the supermarket training program?

"Ugh?"

"Just kidding, I resigned on my own initiative. Working in a supermarket doesn't pay as fast as being a mercenary, and the hours aren't flexible enough. I'll just sit here for a while and then go audition with a new band."

Shiina Riki didn't react much. After all, she was already used to interacting with the band's mercenaries, so one more wasn't a big deal. She was currently contemplating another major issue concerning the band's future.

"So from now on, if conditions permit, practice can be postponed until after six o'clock?"

Drum player, you will lose the love of other teammates if you do this.

Uehara Hibiki felt sad about Shiina Riki's train of thought.

"Forget it for now. After all, we are still students. We can't devote all our time to one thing at once. It's better to proceed step by step. Li Xi, be careful that Deng will get annoyed if you are too strict all of a sudden."

"Light! But practice...but..."

Shiina Tatsuki struggled for a long time, looking at the empty cafe. Takamatsu Touma wasn't there, and there was no one else there, only Uehara Hibiki in the audience. So, for the band, Shiina Tatsuki whispered her true thoughts.

The light does take practice.

Judging by her experience, Shiina Riki was certain that MyGo would be an excellent team if they were performing in a livehouse. However, in the professional field, apart from Hibiki and Stray Cats, everyone else, including herself, was still a little behind.

Especially during today's practice, Shiina Riki discovered that Xiang's keyboard was completely different from before.

He has improved again and left himself far behind.

Shiina Riki thought of Toyokawa Shoko, and the beautiful moonlight that once illuminated her weakness and vulnerability.

Now it’s Uehara Hibiki.

In front of him, I have never had the confidence to be tough.

The feeling of inferiority came up again, so angry!

Shiina Riki hates himself.

……

"Wow, Li Xi, you're actually able to admit that the lamp's abilities are insufficient. That's progress."

Indeed, no longer being the fully affirmative bot of Deng, when it comes to the pursuit of musicality, Shiina Tatsuki has finally completed his evolution and regained some of his sanity.

"No, the singing voice of the lamp is perfect, but other parts, such as physical strength, need to be improved."

Well, not enough evolution.

"Don't worry about your career. I have my own plans."

Uehara Hibiki calmed the impatient person down a bit, then changed the subject.

"So Lixi, you haven't answered my question yet, why do you want to work at this time."

I don’t want to say so much.

Looking at Shiina Riki who still refused to give in, Uehara Hibiki couldn't help but sigh and changed direction.

"Lixi, if I come home too late at night because of work and encounter danger, what should I do?"

"Huh? Danger? Danger won't find me."

Shiina Ritsuki laughed rudely. After all, in a sense, for Shiina Ritsuki, who had a physical level of 3, she was the danger to those with bad intentions.

"That's wrong. Danger might come soon, and you might not be able to resist some dangers. For example, me."

Uehara Hibiki stood up, held one of Shiina Riki's hands, and used a little force before she subconsciously struggled to break free.

"After all, Li Xi is an invincible beauty. She is beautiful, pretty, fashionable, has charming makeup, and is full of charm..."

"Shut up, you!"

Shiina Riki hurriedly covered his mouth with her other hand, and her carefully dressed-up face was full of shame and anger.

Doesn't this guy have any sense of shame? He actually said such words without hesitation.

Lately, Shiina Riki has been browsing the romance section of the school forum, where many people are complaining about their significant others' dull personalities. No matter what kind of makeup they put on, they all look the same.

At least this guy has good eyesight.

Just as she was thinking this, she felt a new touch on the palm of her hand that was covering the other person's mouth.

Itchy.

Shiina Riki subconsciously let go of her hands, and Uehara Hibiki seized the opportunity, and now both of the girl's hands were under his control.

The physical advantage that I had always been proud of was gone, and I felt like I had really become a weak and frail little girl.

Shiina Riki's panic had almost reached its peak, and all the risqué stories from the forums played out in her mind. She didn't know if it was true that girl bands were prone to adultery, or if it was just a teenage desire to show off, just a bunch of bragging.

"Not here, please."

"..."

I was just shaking hands, why are you acting like you're going to go up for the plate? Uehara Hibiki was silent for a moment, but then realized that this was a unique and unexpected bonus.

"So what is Lixi willing to do?"

After a not-so-long silence, there was the girl's shyness.

"Close your eyes."

Uehara Hibiki closed his eyes obediently, ready to see what new tricks she could come up with for him.

"Close your eyes tightly. Don't open them until I allow you to."

As the girl warned with her last bit of reserve, Uehara Hibiki nodded in the darkness.

Then, the arm was slowly pulled and lifted up from the counter.

up.

forward.

Then slowly turn your palm over.

Keep going.

The back of my hand touched.
