“I’m going to start over here.” Aiyin made a secret decision in her heart.

Suddenly, Aiyin heard a rustling sound. She looked towards the direction where the sound came from with some curiosity, and saw half a small head popping out of the bushes in the courtyard. It turned out that a student from Yuqiu was buried in the ground and searching for something.

"Did you lose something?" Aiyin went up to her and asked. Seeing that the girl was alone and looking for something, she looked very pitiful, so she thought about whether she should help her. If she couldn't find it in the end, it would also comfort her.

However, what Ain did not expect was the other party's next move. He picked up a stone from the ground, examined it carefully and showed a happy expression, then put the stone into the pocket of his school uniform. When he looked up and saw Ain, he made an expression of sudden reaction, as if he finally realized that Ain was talking to her.

However, before the girl could react to Aine, several stones fell out of her pocket, so she hurriedly picked up the stones that fell on the ground and covered her pocket with both hands to prevent the stones from falling out again.

Eh, so many? Aiyin looked at the bulging pockets on the girl's clothes and couldn't help but complain in her heart.

The girl felt Aine’s surprised gaze and quickly stood up, nodded to Aine to express her apology and left quickly.

Eh, he just left like that? What a strange guy. Aine thought to herself.

"There's nothing strange about that. Everyone has their own little hobbies. The kid just doesn't know how to hide his hobbies."

As if responding to what she was thinking, a cold voice suddenly came from behind Aine, which scared her. She quickly turned around and looked at the person who spoke, only to see a tall, delicate-looking girl with black hair and a ponytail looking at her with her arms folded.

Aine noticed that the color of the skirt of the school uniform of this girl was the same as that of the strange girl, and realized that they must be acquaintances. Maybe she just looked at the strange girl with an impolite look, and the next moment she was seen by her acquaintances. Aine felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but at least she didn't say bad things about her friend in front of her, which was a good thing.

So Aine quickly waved her hands and apologized, “Ah, sorry, I was just a little curious.”

The tall girl shook her head gently and said, "You don't need to feel embarrassed. Instead, I need to explain to you that the child didn't talk to you properly. The child also knows that her hobby is not normal in the eyes of others, so when you saw her, she was worried that you would think she was a strange person, so she ran away out of embarrassment."

“Oh, is that so? It’s okay, I understand.” Aine responded with a polite smile.

Although I do think she is a strange person, Aine added silently in her heart.

"It's good that you can understand. That child will be very happy to know that someone has seen her hobbies and understands her. ...You are not wearing a school uniform in the school, so you should not be a student of Yuqiu. Are you here to look for someone? I can help a little."

Eh, so kindhearted? At first glance, I thought this girl would be an icy beauty, but she turned out to be so friendly. It doesn’t match her temperament. Aine thought so.

The tall girl showed enough concern for both the strange girl and Aine, so Aine naturally became friendly and explained with a smile, "Thank you for your kindness, but it's okay. I came to Hanegaoka today to participate in the transfer interview, and it's over now."

The tall girl nodded and said, "I see. I wish you good luck in your enrollment. Excuse me, what grade are you in?"

Aine said, "I'm a first-year student. Due to family reasons, I didn't enter Hanegaoka when I was going to high school."

"Is that so? I'm also a first-year student. It looks like we'll have a chance to meet again in the future, so I'll introduce myself briefly. My name is Yanagisawa Ao, you can call me whatever you like, I'm a student in Class A, Year 1." The girl named Yanagisawa Ao introduced herself to Aine very naturally.

Aine was a little surprised when she heard that. This Yanagisawa Aoki gave people a mature feeling in both appearance and conversation. Aine initially thought that he was a senior, or even a member of the student council or the discipline committee. But after thinking that Yanagisawa Aoki and the strange girl just now were in the same grade, she felt relieved.

"My name is Chihaya Aine, Ao-san can just call me Aine. Actually, I have another unwelcome request. I think my entrance exam should be fine, so could you please take me to visit Hanegaoka as a student?"

Aine called out the other person's name naturally. In fact, she was just trying to get close to him. After all, as a transfer student, it was not easy to make friends in an environment where there were already fixed social relationships. It could even be said that she was lucky not to be excluded. So Aine would naturally not miss the opportunity to build a good relationship with Qing before transferring to another school. What's more, the two of them might be classmates in the future. Even if they were not assigned to the same class, being able to make friends with a beautiful and charming girl like Qing would be a capital for her to gain a foothold in the new class. As for whether it would disturb Qing and cause her to dislike her, Aine was not worried. After all, Qing just said that he could help her find someone, so he should have time.

Qing said apologetically: "Although I just said that I could help you find someone, Aiyin, I'm actually not very familiar with this school. I just thought I could help you ask someone."

Aiyin waved her hands and smiled, "It's okay. I didn't think about that when I asked you to do it. In fact, the teacher who was in charge of picking me up this morning also gave me a brief tour. I just wanted to see what the students think of the school."

Qing put his hand under his chin, thinking seriously, and said, "What do you think? It feels like an ordinary girls' college, except that the teachers are strict about grades, and the free lunch in the cafeteria tastes average."

However, Qing's answer did not answer the point that Aine was concerned about, so Aine asked again: "What is popular among students, such as bands? And what is the environment like for the student union and clubs?"

Hearing this, Qing gave Aine a meaningful look and said, "Band? It's actually quite popular. In fact, it's not just in Yuqiu, there are several girls' schools here where bands are quite popular. There are many people in Yuqiu who play in bands, and some of them have become famous. The name of the band is Afterglow, and the current student council president is a member of that band."

Aine was thinking, the information about the pop band was extracted from the words of a man who seemed to know her well when she just returned to Tokyo. How did that man know that the pop band played in Haneda, where she was going to attend? You know, even she herself decided to go to Haneda after she went back home at night and read the Line updates of her junior high school classmates.

No, Qing also said that there are several girls' schools here where playing in bands is popular. From a probabilistic point of view, it is normal for that person to guess that she would go to a girls' school with a strong band culture. But the tone of his voice was too certain, as if he had seen such a future.

Aomi Aine seemed to be thinking and didn't say anything, so she continued to introduce: "I don't know much about the student union, but the student union has quite a lot of power. As for the clubs, I can take you to the club building to have a look."

Aiyin was interrupted by Qing's words, but she was not angry, because she was distracted. Instead, she felt that Qing was a little too nice, satisfying all the requests of a person she just met, and explaining the ones that could not be satisfied.

So Aine responded positively, “If it’s not too much trouble for you, please.”

Then the two of them walked around the school while chatting. Although Qing was not very familiar with Yuqiu, he still knew the way to the club building because he would report to the club office every day after joining the astronomy club.

Along the way, the two of them received a lot of attention. Although Qing didn't know it herself, she was actually very popular in Hanegaoka, especially in the first year, and Aine, as an outsider in casual clothes, also attracted attention. Qing didn't take these gazes to heart, but Aine noticed these gazes, and saw that many people paid more attention to Qing beside her. Combined with Qing's appearance and temperament, it can be guessed that Qing is popular in school.

As expected, building a good relationship with Ao-san was the right choice, Aine thought.

The two of them casually visited some club activities, and Aine sighed in confusion: "I thought that a school with such a strong band atmosphere would definitely have a light music club, but it turns out that they are just ordinary clubs."

Qing thought for a moment and said, "A light music club? It seems that there is indeed no such club, but there should be quite a few clubs that also drink tea. Although it sounds a bit exaggerated, many students can play in the band while taking care of the club. Under the academic pressure of Yuqiu, I think this is very remarkable."

Aiyin held back the urge to complain about the stereotype of "light music club = tea drinking club". There were also some that made micro movies and had love triangles... Well, it seems that the light music club that drank tea was indeed the one that played music most seriously.

Putting aside the useless thoughts in her mind, Aine asked, "What about Ao-san, is he playing in a band or joining a club?"

Qing did not hide it and said directly: "I don't have a band. As for clubs, I joined the Astronomy Department, but the club activities are relatively relaxed. It is a check-in club."

Aine wasn't interested in the astronomy club, and she wasn't really interested in bands. She was only slightly interested because of the man she met that day and the band atmosphere of Yugaoka. But in order to keep the small talk going, she said, "That's a pity. I think Ao-san's image and temperament would definitely be very popular if he played in a band."

Qing shrugged and said, "I don't care about these."

At this time, the two heard the sound of piano playing, a very beautiful melody. Although Qing learned professional-level keyboard through the system, she was not a professional in her forged experience. She only learned the most representative piano pieces, and she really couldn't hear this piece. As for Aiyin, it goes without saying that she is a pure novice.

"So beautiful and amazing."

However, even a novice like Aiyin who knows nothing about piano can hear the high level of the performer. Sounding good is always the most important criterion of music.

Qing said, "It should have come from the wind band."

Aine was surprised and said, "Is this a solo? The piano is so amazing, so Yuqiu's wind section must be extremely strong."

Qing thought of the sister of a drum player and chuckled, "It shouldn't be the time for the wind band to rehearse yet. Someone must have borrowed the piano of the wind band. But Yuqiu's wind band is really amazing."

Aine was even more surprised when she heard this: "What? Those who play so well are not from the wind band? Yuqiu is really exaggerating. Can just anyone play so well?"

If the band atmosphere in Yuqiu is this strong, then if you want to play in a band, you really need to improve your level. Aiyin remembered that she was tired of doing homework a few days ago, so she took out the guitar she used in junior high school and kept in her room to collect dust. She played it a few times, but found that the sound was completely wrong, so she stopped playing it.

"I don't know, maybe it's an isolated case. But since she is playing seriously, we shouldn't disturb her." Qing said.

“Oh, okay.” Aine nodded subconsciously.

The person who plays the piano in the orchestra room is Toyokawa Shoko, a person that Qing considers to be very troublesome, although the two have not officially met yet. Qing actually deliberately prevented Aine and Shoko from meeting, or more precisely, did not want them to know each other.

In the plot of mygo, Ai Xiang and they do not meet often, which seems to have little impact on the plot. However, in fact, their meeting triggered a series of chain reactions. The final result is that Su Shi's impression of Xiangzi plummeted, which added fuel to the fire of the shocking kneeling.

Qing didn't prevent Aion and Xiangzi from meeting because he felt sorry for Su Shi, but because the explosion of the nameless band would hurt Aion. In fact, Qing didn't have much opinion on the direction of the plot of Mygo, after all, everyone had a music party together in the end. However, Qing had a hunch that the hen card would cause Mygo to explode again, and Qing would believe in the "will of the world". Although your scriptwriters are sometimes abstract, they often give a good ending in the end. It is estimated that the relationship between Xiang and Su Mu will get better in the end.

But since he was going to do it, Qing must have wanted to work hard in a good direction. Besides, Qing was also worried that his appearance would cause a butterfly effect, leading to irreversible consequences. There are still many "coincidences" in the story of Mygo. For example, if Deng hadn't met Ms. Hatsuka at the planetarium during the group explosion, Aine might have had to play "Mechanical Heart".

The two walked for a while, and Aine felt that they had finished the tour, so she invited Qing, "Thank you for showing me around. Do you have time later? I've troubled you so much. I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee."

"Xiaoqing, there is..."

However, before Qing could agree, a timid voice sounded out at an inopportune time. Qing's attention was also attracted by the voice. He looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the light that should have gone home.

"Takamatsu, why are you here?" Qing said in surprise. This was indeed an unexpected situation for her.

“Ah, you’re the one just now…” Aiyin almost said the words “weird classmate”. In order to prevent herself from saying these words, Aiyin bit her tongue and covered her mouth in pain.

Qing had reason to believe that if the tongue could be put on a Band-Aid, Deng would have handed Aine a set of Band-Aids by now.

Deng also looked at Aine because of what she said, and introduced herself in a much weaker tone than before: “I’m Takamatsu Deng, please take care of me.”

Aiyin held back the tears that were about to fall from the pain and said, “Just call me Aiyin…”

Deng nodded, obviously having a good impression of Aine. After all, Aine was someone who was willing to help her when she was doing strange things, and after seeing her strange side, she was willing to get along with her like a human being.

Qing Jian Aine was in a difficult position to talk to at this time, so she asked Deng: "Didn't the club activities end a long time ago? Why is Deng still here?"

"Meteor shower..."

"Ok?"

"Xiao Qing said that tonight is the peak of the Lyrid meteor shower. I will go to see it tonight and write an astronomy report... so I came back to get it."

Although it involved Deng's favorite field of astronomy, it did not trigger her Amway mode, and she spoke in a halting manner. After understanding Deng's meaning, Qing said with some embarrassment: "No, you can't see it in Tokyo, right? You are more likely to see it in the wilderness in the countryside."

In Tokyo, both the numerous buildings and light pollution have seriously affected astronomical observations, especially meteor showers that cannot be observed with a telescope. Unless you observe from the rooftop of a 45-story building in Roppongi, where you can touch the sky with your hands, it is really difficult to see.

At this time, Aiyin, who had recovered from the pain, came over and said excitedly, "What? Where is the meteor shower? Can I go see it? If you take pictures, can you send me a copy?"

Although Aiyin is not interested in astronomy, she is still very interested in romantic things like meteor showers, and she can also use them to show off in updates.

Deng didn't expect that Ain would have such a big reaction to his words, and he became a little excited and asked, "Does little Ain like stars too?"

Aiyin adjusted her hair and said, “Well, I like it.”

Aine did like stars, after all, they were beautiful, but she only liked them to a moderate degree. She would definitely not learn about astronomy or go out of her way to see the stars just for the sake of the stars.

However, the innocent Deng didn't notice Aine's awkwardness at all, and started to talk about her stargazing experience on her own, which made Aine a little overwhelmed, and she could only look at Qing for help.

Oh, poor Saint Ain, being captured by gravity at the speed of light. Qing thought with a funny attitude.

Of course, as Aine's iron-blooded single pusher, Qing would definitely help Aine out of trouble, so she said, "It's not good to stand here and talk. Aine just said she wanted to buy me coffee. If you don't mind, how about we go together?"

Deng also reacted after hearing what Qing said. She seemed to have used too much force again. However, she glanced at Qing and Aine. The two of them looked at her without any strange feeling. She stopped her subconscious urge to run away and lowered her head to agree: "Yes."

……

The three of them left Yugaoka and came to a shop called "Yuze Coffee Shop" in the shopping street and sat down, but they hesitated when ordering.

“Ao-san and Takamatsu-san, have you been here before? This is my first time here and I don’t know what to order. Do you have any recommendations?” Aine put down the menu and asked the two.

It was true that Aine came here for the first time. She came to Hanegaoka to avoid her junior high school classmates, and it was naturally far from her home. But it was false that she didn't know what to order. Aine was a fashionable person and would not hesitate because of the order. She said this simply because she wanted to provide emotional value to the two of them and wanted to have a good relationship with Qing and Deng.

However, she asked the right person this time. Qing had only been in this world for a few days and had never been to this store. Deng had indeed been here with the former members of crychic before, but it was impossible to expect Deng, who had difficulty ordering on his own, to recommend orders.

There was a moment of silence, and Qing coughed and said, "It seems that none of you are regular customers, so just order what you want. I'll just order this Yuze Special."

When Aine heard that Qing wanted to order Yuze's special, her eyes lit up and she said, "Yeah, I want to try this too. A dish named after a restaurant really makes people want to try it!"

Then Aine looked at the light and asked, “Have you decided what to order, Takamatsu-san?”

Deng looked at Aine blankly, then looked at Qing. Aine just smiled at Deng, while Qing picked up her phone and said, "I'll send a message now that I've made my decision."

Aiyin asked curiously, "Are you going to send a message to your family? It's still early, right?"

Aiyin thought Qing's family was very strict and she had to report to them if she didn't go home after school.

Qing explained: "You need to talk to your part-time job. You need to tell them in advance if you want to change your shift."

Qing works part-time at the Akabane branch of a global convenience store chain. Compared to some other stores in Akabane, the advantage is that the working environment is better and there is no need to worry about people causing trouble or the boss cheating people. The inconvenience is that you cannot skip work at will and must change shifts in advance if something happens.

Aiyin also asked somewhat uncomfortably: "Ah, did I delay your part-time job?"

Qing shook his head and said, "Being with you guys, Aine, is more important to me."

After all, the system has given me two rewards since I met Aine, a total of 2 yen and a proficiency-level "English written expression ability", which I can earn much faster than working part-time.

However, Qing expressed his serious suspicion that the system was slandering Saint Ain after obtaining this skill.

Why not "English speaking ability"? Who sent you? What are you implying?

Moreover, this wave of straight balls will probably increase the progress of the system's next reward. Qing feels that he has won a lot. As for working? I wish it happiness.

However, this straightforward statement had different effects on Aine and Deng. Aine was stunned at first, and thought to herself, "How dare you be by my side?" But then she dismissed the thought, because it was obvious that Qing meant that she didn't care much about the part-time job; Deng was simply happy, because she felt that Qing's words were very warm and made her feel a little human.

Finally, Deng ordered a cup of hot cocoa milk coffee with Aine's encouragement. In fact, Deng wanted to imitate Qing and Aine, two humans, and order Yuze's special drink. She rarely drinks beverages, and she drinks milk the most. Aine seemed to see that she just wanted to follow the trend and encouraged Deng, and then Deng ordered milk coffee with "milk" in its name.

Xiaoqing and Xiao Ain are both warm, just like the sunshine on a midsummer afternoon. This is what Deng thinks.

The three of them chatted freely while drinking coffee. Without a band, the atmosphere was really relaxed. Qing was thinking that if it could keep going like this, it wouldn't matter if Mygo was formed or not. Mygo saved all the members, but Li Xi's character was strong enough, and Su Shi would fail to restore the C group regardless of Mygo. Well, there was also Maomao... Forget it, Qing decided not to interfere with Aine in forming a band. She didn't want to bear the fate of too many people, even though it made her look cunning.

After that, it was getting dark, and the three of them said goodbye to each other and left. Because Aine said she wanted to see photos of the meteor shower, she added Qing and Deng on Line. Of course, Qing knew that this was just Aine's trick of exchanging lines, so she didn't expose it. But Qing also exchanged lines with Deng, which surprised Aine. After all, Qing talked to her because of Deng, and it seemed that Qing knew Deng very well. Aine thought the two of them had a good relationship. But the two of them didn't even add each other on Line.

Of course, Aine didn't want to understand that Ao maintained a good relationship with Deng just to get close to her, and although Deng subjectively wanted to have a better relationship with Ao, he lacked confidence in his actions.

"Goodbye, light."

Deng nodded solemnly and said, "Goodbye, Xiaoqing, Xiaoaiyin. I will look forward to the meteor shower tonight."

Compared to the two of them, Deng’s home was not that far away, so he quickly said goodbye to them.

"Takamatsu really likes stars and animals. She was so happy for a long time just now because of the latte art on her coffee."

Aine was talking about her feelings towards Deng, and Qing really wanted to agree and say "Deng is cute", but she knew that calling other women cute in front of her own followers was a taboo, and even if Aine didn't mind, the system would mind.

So Qing just nodded without saying anything. Aiyin looked at Qing's profile, hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "Qing, have we met before?"

Qing's heart suddenly started to alarm. She seriously suspected that the system had set a trap for her and made her have a dirty past. However, with her master-level expression control, she still replied calmly: "Today should be our first meeting. If I had met a girl as cute as Aine before, I would definitely not forget it."

Ao was still operating, even with a hint of joking, but Aine's expression did not relax, instead she was lost in thought.

Seeing this, Qing had no choice but to ask back: "Why do you think we have met before?"

Aiyin paused to think and said, "I feel a familiar feeling. It wasn't very obvious at first, but the more we get along, the more obvious it becomes."

Qing's face did not reveal any flaws, and he said in a casual tone: "It may be your illusion, or the influence of your subconscious mind. For example, isn't precognitive dreaming the work of your subconscious mind?"

Aiyin thought for a moment, then asked tentatively, "Do you know a man in his twenties or thirties who is a bit neurotic? Well, to be specific, he's a bit sloppy and has a big brown windbreaker..."

Listening to Aine's increasingly detailed description, Ao fell silent. That's right, the person Aine described was Yanagisawa Ao before he became a JK. I didn't expect that even with a different gender and age, Aine could still feel familiar with him. What a keen intuition.
