Gravity Girl Shining

Chapter 62: Has He Become a God?

When he arrived at RING, Shiina Riki subconsciously went to the staff locker room, but was immediately blocked by Miss Rinrinko.

"No, Xiao Lixi, Uehara-kun specifically told you to get enough rest in the next two days."

Why does that guy have to get involved in everything?

Although he said it unpleasantly, Shiina Riki was still a little touched. Has that guy been paying attention to him all the time?

I glanced at the sign in the lobby on the first floor. If I remember correctly, that guy’s part-time band... should be Hot Chilli Raisin.

There's still some time before this band goes on stage, so let's watch other bands' performances first to kill time.

"Lixi!"

The sound I least wanted to hear came from the second floor.

The stray cat hopped over to Shiina Riki, and if I guessed correctly, the next sentence should be.

“Matcha Parfait!”

You really said that!

Shiina Riki just felt tired. In order to appease this stray cat, she and Uehara Hibiki took turns to pay for the meal during normal practice. If they rotated by date, it would be her turn today.

But there is no practice today!

"Why are you looking for me? If you want to eat, go buy it yourself."

"No money."

Kaname's answer was straightforward.

"Grandma is annoying. Her pocket money is too little."

Shiina Riki raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and after thinking about Lenai's usual behavior pattern, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the old lady in the distance.

"It's right to control your allowance, otherwise you'll have to start with ten parfaits a day."

"It doesn't matter. I just can't gain weight."

"It's not a question of whether you gain weight or not. It will upset your stomach and your teeth! Eating too much sweets will cause cavities."

Shiina Riki tries to start coaxing the child.

"I'm in good health, there's no problem."

Kaname Rana came closer like a cat, almost lying on Shiina Riki's body.

I've said that's not the problem.

Unlike Uehara Hibiki, Shiina Riki wasn't used to such close contact with people, but she wouldn't be swayed by a cat's beauty. After realizing this, Kaname Rakuna couldn't help but reveal a look of regret.

But soon, the cat's wisdom made her think of a good idea.

"Lixi, this interesting man has always been hiding a secret."

Um……?

The interesting man mentioned by the stray cat is Xiang. Does he have any secrets?

While Shiina Riki was stunned, Yasunoha picked up the cart she was carrying and prepared to return to the second floor.

"Lixi, do you want to know? It's a secret."

Looking at Kaname Rakuna turning and leaving, Shiina Riki's curiosity was aroused and he suddenly had nowhere to put it.

Who could stand this while he was still talking? Shiina Riki immediately chased after him.

Although I don't want to be a bad boy who pries into other people's privacy, since stray cats can hear it, why can't I, Tatsuki Shiina, as the second-leader of the MyGo band, not hear it?

"Stray cat! Wait, I..."

"Matcha parfait, three cups!"

"Don't raise the price!"

……

In the coffee shop, Kaname Rakuna was enjoying her favorite matcha parfait with a satisfied expression.

"Okay, stray cat... Lenai, you can tell me now."

"Ok?"

After taking a look at Shiina Riki, the stray cat decisively betrayed its other owner.

"This interesting man is actually a very nice person. The band is like his parfait."

What kind of secret is this?

Shiina Riki immediately thought of the countless times he had been molested, starting with touching his hands, then moving on to his arms, shoulders, hair, legs, soles of his feet, and even... that kind of place.

Did that guy ever hide his bitterness for a moment?

Feeling that he had been tricked, Shiina Riki left angrily.

Behind her, Kaname Rakuna was sitting at the table, continuing to savor her matcha parfait.

"Stupid woman."

In addition to matcha, the matcha parfait also contains chocolate, mandarin oranges, strawberries, apples, and cream...

The stray cat is a greedy girl who hopes to taste multiple flavors in one bite.

But this interesting man, Hibiki Uehara, is greedy in another way. He treats everyone in the band as his meal.

Kaname Rakuna was very curious whether Uehara Hibiki could do this.

Although he saw through his purpose first, Stray Cat never revealed the truth and just quietly followed the progress of Uehara Hibiki's strategy.

After all, she has been searching for an eternal home where she can play the guitar for the rest of her life.

In a sense, the ending where everyone is eaten is also an eternal destination, and the cat doesn't mind becoming like that.

"good to eat."

……

Shiina Riki ran downstairs angrily and bumped into an acquaintance.

"Oh my, today is just like usual (angry)."

"Hai Ling, are you done?"

Looking at his friend preparing to leave with his bass case, Shiina Riki's tone couldn't help but soften.

"Just finished and was about to go home. You, on the other hand, seem to be in good spirits. It seems that when we go to school next week, everyone's curiosity, which has been suppressed for so long, will finally be satisfied."

"what?"

Shiina Riki was confused by his friend's confusing words and couldn't figure it out for a while.

"You slept through school the day before yesterday, and you took the day off yesterday. Everyone in the class couldn't find a chance to ask you questions. But looking at you now, your days of working late into the night are over."

"It's over. No, I wanted to ask, what do the people in the class want from me?"

That was strange. Shiina Riki reflected on it and realized that he probably didn't communicate much with his classmates. Although he couldn't be called a loner, he had never done anything that would become the center of attention.

"Are you pretending to be stupid and showing off?"

"No, no, no, what's going on?"

"Boyfriend. The one who asked you out before Golden Week."

"what?"

Shiina Riki belatedly remembered the time when she was blocked by Uehara Hibiki at the school gate. She was almost so embarrassed that she lost consciousness and ended up running away.

But looking back now, that level of teasing can no longer shake Shiina Riki.

Is this some kind of progress?

But no matter what, becoming the center of boring gossip still made Shiina Riki very unhappy.

"It's all a misunderstanding. Xiang is just forming a band with me. Hailing, don't you know this too? Xiang said that he met you when he was a mercenary. You should know something about him."

Just call me by my name.

And there was no hesitation at all, as if it was a very natural thing.

Under Hachiman Kailing's seemingly calm expression, her mind began to work rapidly. In the previous relationship, as a good classmate, she, as a mercenary, did not have much position and frequently contacted Li Xi outside of school.

But unexpectedly, after just one Golden Week, the relationship between the two seemed to have made rapid progress.

This is a bit difficult.

"It doesn't matter what I think, all the other students think the same way."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. Even Triangle-san is particularly interested and has been asking about you for the past two days."

Sanjiao Chuhua, that popular idol?

Although they were in the same class, Shiina Riki had never spoken to her. He only knew that she was busy with her idol work, often took leave, and rarely took the initiative to participate in class discussions.

The fact that even she got involved was enough to show how active this topic was in the class. Maybe other classes would also get involved.

It feels like things are getting more and more troublesome.

"Hai Ling, can you..."

"Sorry, that's your business. But well, same old thing."

A bottle of milk jelly drink.

This is the tacit understanding between Shiina Riki and Yawata Kairin.

In front of the vending machine, Shiina Riki took out her cell phone from her small bag and prepared to pay.

Taking this opportunity, Hachiman Kailing quietly adjusted her body posture and changed her viewing angle to take another peek at what was in Shiina Riki's bag.

In theory, this is peeping into other people's privacy.

But Hachiman Kailing doesn't like to hide factors. She wants to investigate everything about the friends she cares about and keep everything under control.

This is the only way to feel at ease.

But today, she was destined to be unable to rest in peace.

A magical tool was lying quietly in Shiina Riki's bag.

Contradicting the preface, the development of Shiina Riki and Uehara Hibiki is much faster than she expected. This is not a rapid progress, it is a rocket taking off.

Shiina Riki, a friend who was once very familiar to him, especially the extremely clumsy one in terms of feelings, suddenly became a big step ahead of Yawata Kailing.

Could it be that Lord Shiina has become a god?

No, no, no, I'm not sure yet. Stay calm, Hachiman Kailing!

Behind Tatsuki Shiina, Kairin Yawata's facial expression instantly went out of control, just like a small passerby in an isekai anime who was jealous of the male and female protagonists.

Fortunately, Shiina Riki didn't look back and was just focused on the vending machine.

"Then Hai Ling, as usual, a bottle of chocolate flavor."

"I regret it. I want three bottles."

"what?"

Hachiman Kailing is destined to have a difficult night tonight.

I weighed my wallet and decided to turn my anger into appetite tonight before going on a shopping spree tomorrow.

……

Although it was a day off, Shiina Riki felt like everything was going wrong.

Chihaya Aine and Hibiki, the two of them, monopolized the lights for a whole morning and afternoon, full of jealousy.

I didn't see any lights the whole day, what a pity.

There is also Su Shi, who behaves suspiciously and is inexplicable.

And finally, the people I met when I came to RING, whether it was the stray cat or Hai Ling, were obviously familiar people, but I always felt that they were weird.
