While admiring Aine's sharp intuition, Qing also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that it was not the system that backstabbed me, but my own mistakes.

You're wrong, system.

No matter how his appearance changes or how good his acting skills are, Yanagisawa Ao and Ao's soul are the same person after all, so it's reasonable for Aine to notice something strange.

Putting aside unnecessary thoughts, the way Qing's brain crashed just now was as if he was really recalling whether he knew such a person, so it did not arouse Aine's suspicion. Qing said: "It's still a little too vague, but I shouldn't know such a person. Even if I have met him, I am definitely not familiar with him. By the way, what happened to this person?"

Aine adjusted her hair and said, "No, it's nothing. I just saw this person before and thought he was special."

Qing knew what was going on, but he couldn't tell her. They both looked like they were thinking and reminiscing, and the atmosphere became silent. It was not until they were at different train stations that the silence was broken.

"I look forward to seeing you again in Yugaoka."

"We will definitely meet again. I will come to find you then."

"It's possible that he's a classmate. In that case, I don't have to come all the way here to look for him."

“Haha, I’m looking forward to it.”

The two said goodbye with laughter and conversation, which made the passengers who had just boarded the bus sigh at the beauty of the friendship between adolescent high school girls.

The big chapter is just to make up for yesterday's small chapter. There is no more today.

10 Band, transfer students, friends

The meteor streaked across the night sky, leaving a white trail. After the last trail disappeared, another meteor fell into the night sky, and this continued for a long time. Countless sky pattern enthusiasts who were interested in observing meteors took photos and videos.

Of course, such a scene cannot be seen in Tokyo, because the meteors are relatively small and are even more difficult to see under light pollution.

However, Gao Songdeng still looked up at the night sky from the balcony of his home, not missing any changes in the hazy night sky.

Liu Zeqing turned on the computer that he had just installed, but he was lying on the bed hugging his pillow and humming a melody. The computer was playing a live broadcast of an astronomy blogger on YouTube, which was about observing the Lyra meteor shower in the UK. The recording tool in the background showed "Recording".

What is Chihaya Aine doing?

At this time, Chihaya Aine was soaking in her bathtub at home, laughing smugly.

Aiyin didn't expect that her new campus life would be so smooth. She had already made friends with two classmates before she even officially enrolled. This way, she didn't have to worry about not being able to integrate into the new school because of the small circle she had formed.

Aine came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel, humming "Here, the World", which was very popular among girls recently. She picked up her phone and opened YouTube, wanting to add some background music while drying her hair.

She suddenly remembered the Afterglow band that Qing mentioned this afternoon when introducing the band atmosphere of Yuqiu. Her finger, which was about to click on the beauty blogger's video, paused in the air. Instead, she typed the name of Afterglow in the search bar and started playing the music from the search result.

By the time Aiyin finished blow-drying her hair, her phone had already been playing several songs from Afterglow. When Aiyin picked up her phone again, the first thing she did was to press pause.

It’s not that she thinks Afterglow’s songs are bad, Aine just rarely listens to songs of this style. She listens to idol songs like Sumimi more often.

“Isn’t it really hard to sing this high note?”

As the lead guitarist in the student council band in junior high school, Aine found the high notes in these songs challenging, at least for her.

Looking at the somewhat scary-looking afterglow guitarist in the video, and then thinking about her own guitar and singing skills, Aine had to admit that there was a big gap between her and this senior Yuoka.

"Forget it. Anyway, I already have Qing and Takamatsu as my friends. I can just find a suitable small group after entering school... I won't form a band since it's too difficult."

Aiyin has never been a person who won't turn back until she hits a wall. When encountering difficulties, avoiding them is not escaping, but a little wisdom to make life easier. Besides, Aiyin is not that interested in the band.

So Aiyin swiped away afterglow’s video and clicked on the beauty blogger’s video…

……

The next day, despite Qing's expectation, Ain still did not enroll. Later, Qing sent a Line message to Ain and found out that although Ain had passed the entrance test, she still had to wait until next Monday to enroll.

By the way, Deng wanted to watch the meteor shower last night, but he fell asleep and didn’t see any of the meteor shower clearly. So he was very disappointed when he arrived at school early in the morning, and he apologized to Qing.

Fortunately, Qing was well prepared and took out the video recorded last night, and the lights came on again.

Later, Aine asked on Line if anyone had taken photos of the meteor shower yesterday. Qing took out a few screenshots and sent them to her. Aine happily expressed her gratitude, which allowed Qing to receive another system reward, which was 1 yen and the entry-level "Catholic Ritual".

'System, is the skill you rewarded related to the object I am bound to?'

【Answer: There is a certain relationship, but it does not completely depend on the object to which the host is bound.】

In fact, Qing had guessed this when he obtained the proficiency level "English written expression ability" yesterday. Combined with the skill he obtained today, Qing couldn't help but ask the system, and sure enough, the answer was as Qing expected.

The school that Aiyin attended when she was studying in the UK was a religious full-board school. Qing had read Dr. Go's analysis of this. This kind of school is very strict. Students have to abide by the corresponding religious etiquette in their daily lives, and they have very little time for activities outside of school. Aiyin was unfamiliar with the UK, and it was difficult for her to make friends in school because of her poor spoken English. In addition, London's cold and humid weather and the British local cuisine that challenges the limits of human beings... It is normal for Aiyin to run away given her personality.

When Qingya thought of Aine eating fish and chips with a reluctant look on her face after praying at the dining table, the curve of his mouth was a little difficult to suppress.

Ahem, I am Aine's iron-blooded supporter, and I will definitely not use Aine's dark history to please myself. It is better not to tell Aine that the photo I sent her was a screenshot from a blogger who was live streaming in the UK. After all, it is estimated that Aine can only see the gray sky when she looks up in the UK.

Of course, Qing did not plan to activate the skill "Catholic Etiquette" because she could not use it, and she did not want to make her already abstract "past experience" even more abstract because of a skill that she could not use. On the contrary, she could consider whether to use "English written expression ability". Qing's English grades had been very poor since elementary school before she crossed over, and she did not pass the English test until the college entrance examination. This was also the reason why she could not copy English songs. Activating this skill might be able to save her, but if she did not plan to continue her studies, this skill was actually not necessary.

In addition, the news that Qing and Deng were together with an outsider yesterday spread in the class, and many people came to ask about Deng. Qing didn't think it was strange, after all, Deng was the mascot of the class, and it was normal for him to be concerned, and he was the one who was affected. There were also a few classmates who came to ask Qing, and Qing just said a few words to fool them.

After school, Qing had nothing to do, so she went home directly. She didn't plan to work part-time. The reason for not working part-time was that Qing planned to finish the arrangement of "Happy to Serve" before the Golden Week, so that when it was released during the Golden Week, the audience of this song - those working people - would have a better chance to hear it. Of course, another reason was that she earned 3 yen by promoting Aion alone, so she could take a break from working part-time.

So Qing spent the entire weekend arranging the music as he had planned. Generally speaking, he completed the arrangement, but he always wanted to try to adjust it again, and basically he found that the music before the adjustment sounded better.

……

Monday, Class A, Year 1, Hanegaoka.

"My name is Chihaya Aine. I started school a little late due to family reasons. I hope everyone can take good care of me. Please give me your guidance."

Aiyin introduced herself on the podium with the look of a sunny and good student, and the students below the podium applauded in a friendly manner to welcome the new student in the class.

"Chihaya-san, please take the empty seat at the back."

Qing looked at Deng, who was still happily playing with the various stones in his collection, and reached out to take a stone from the tabletop, which also drew Deng's attention away. Deng looked at Qing with a slightly confused look.

Qing gently tossed the stone up and down, caught it again, and pointed the finger that caught the stone at Aine who was walking slowly towards him. Deng's eyes were fixed on the stone the whole time.

“Look, Aine has transferred to our class. If Aine comes over later, it would be rude of Takamatsu-san if he doesn’t say hello.”

Hearing what Qing said, Deng suddenly turned around and looked in the direction Qing pointed, and sure enough, he saw Aine wearing Yuqiu's uniform. At this moment, Aine also looked at the two of them, and waved in their direction with a smile.

"Qing-san, Takamatsu-san, please take care of me."

"Please take care of me." This is Qing with a smile.

"Please take care of me..." This is the light that is blushing and lowering its head slightly.

The classmates in the class also noticed this scene and looked at him in surprise. In their eyes, Qing and Deng, two people who seldom talked to others, actually greeted the new transfer student. It made people want to know the relationship between these three people.

"Then let the class begin."

The head teacher put his hand on the podium and made a thumping sound, reminding the students that class was about to start. However, his eyes were also looking at Qing who was smiling and greeting them. He thought to himself: It seems that it is right to let her participate in club activities. This can also be regarded as accumulating experience in dealing with problem children.

Qing, Deng, and Aine heard the teacher's urging and stopped greeting. Aine walked to her seat behind Deng and sat down. Qing put the stone she had just taken back on Deng's desk. Deng hesitated for a while and put the stone that Qing returned to her along with the other stones in the drawer. She picked up the textbook but seemed a little absent-minded.

After class, the classmates surrounded Aiyin, Deng, and Qing. Some greeted Aiyin and asked questions, while others asked Qing and Deng how they knew Aiyin. Aiyin handled the situation well, chatting and laughing with her classmates; Qing only answered questions that could be dealt with, and pretended not to hear any questions that were too troublesome; Deng was a little autistic, hiding her hand under the drawer, tightly covering the stone that Qing had just taken away before class, and lowered her head without saying a word.

When it was lunchtime, Aine was about to ask Qing to have lunch together, but Qing stood up empty-handed and walked towards the classroom door alone.

Aiyin was a little confused, but she still went forward with her lunch box and invited him, "Ao-san, do you want to have lunch together?"

Qing said with some regret: "Ah, sorry, I always go to the cafeteria to eat lunch, and I don't bring a lunch box."

After all, it would be a waste if you don't eat the free lunch at Yuqiu Canteen. Qing herself didn't like to bring lunch boxes, not that she couldn't cook, but before she crossed over, she always cooked hot meals. She didn't need to change her living habits in order to accumulate progress for system rewards.

Aiyin's doubts became even worse. She tilted her head and asked, "Hey, I remember Qing said yesterday that the lunch in the cafeteria tasted average. I thought you wouldn't eat in the cafeteria. Is it that your parents don't have time to make you a lunch box?"

Qing glanced at Aiyin indifferently. She remembered the outrageous experience that the system had forged for her identity, and sighed in her heart: It's worthy of you, Aiyin. You stepped into the minefield without realizing it. No wonder you were captured by the gravity field. But fortunately, I'm not a heavy girl.

So Qing nodded slightly and said, "That's it."

Then Qing said "See you later" and left the classroom.

Deng, who was watching this scene, lowered his head, put down the stone in his hand, picked up his lunch box, and walked out of the classroom.

Aine failed to invite Qing, and began to scan the entire classroom, looking for the next suitable target to eat with. Just then she saw the light that said she was leaving, so she asked, "Is Takamatsu going out too?"

Deng looked at Aine and nodded, then suddenly remembered something, his emotions became high, he took a step towards Aine and said, “I want to go to the Astronomy Club!”

Aine didn't understand why Deng was so excited all of a sudden, so she leaned back subconsciously and said, "Oh, you should work harder at club work."

Deng saw that Aine didn't understand the meaning of her invitation, and her mood suddenly became depressed again. She thought Aine asked her and Qing to take pictures of the meteor shower, and last time Aine said that she liked stars and would be interested in the astronomy club, but Aine didn't understand what she meant at all.

Humans can't understand what you say.

No, I have made progress. Even if I am not a human being yet, I will work hard to become one!

"Tea..." Deng said timidly.

"Tea?" Aine looked at the lamp in confusion.

Feeling the familiar look of incomprehension from others when looking at her from Aine's eyes, Deng subconsciously wanted to run away, just like hiding in the cracks of a rock when seeing the sun. And this time, there was no Qing to block her escape, and Deng ran away in an instant.

A group of three people sitting at the back of the classroom saw Deng running out of the classroom and subconsciously reminded him, "Ah, Xiao Deng, don't run too fast, or the Discipline Committee will see you."

But Deng didn't respond to them, so they continued chatting and eating. Aine, who was left at a loss, was stunned for a while, then walked over to the three people with a troubled look and asked, "Um, I want to know if I made Takamatsu-san unhappy just now."

Hearing this, the three of them raised their heads and looked at Aine in surprise. Seeing Aine's guilty expression, they all looked at each other. The girl with yellow hair said, "Sit down first. We can talk while we eat."

So Aine moved a chair and sat down, and roughly explained what happened just now. The three of them breathed a sigh of relief and explained to Aine: "It's not Aine's fault, Xiao Deng is just like this sometimes, it's hard to understand."

"Yes, yes. We often don't understand what Xiao Deng says. It seems that he jumps too much."

After listening to the explanations of the three people, Aiyin felt half relieved. The other half was that she felt that if it was Qingzai, perhaps she would understand what Deng meant, which made her feel like she had not done well.

"Aine-chan has done very well. You are the first one in our class who can become friends with both Deng and Mr. Yanagisawa."

“Lord Yanagisawa?” Aine almost spit out the lunch in her mouth when she heard this somewhat exaggerated title.

"There are many fans of Ao in the first grade. They will respectfully call Ao "Like Yanagisawa." At this time, the girl with red hair explained. She was not a fan of Ao, so she could state the facts objectively.

"Hey, I'll call you Lord Yanagisawa!" This person is a fanatical fan of Qing.

Then the three of them told Aine about the blue in their eyes, and the more Aine listened, the more she felt it was strange.

"Hey, why does it feel like your impression of Qing-san is completely different from my impression of Qing-san?"

Although Aine thought Ao was very friendly and enthusiastic, they said that Ao was very cold; although they thought Ao was quite talkative, they said that Ao had no patience to talk to others... The three of them compared their impressions with Aine's, and then fell silent.

"..."

"Could it be that... Ao-san actually has something special for Aine-chan?"

"Hey, you can't just say things like that, okay?"

"No, if it's really like what Aine-chan said, then this is the truth, right?"

"How could it be...I was the first one..."

"No, compared to that, if Qing-san is really special to Aine-chan, then wouldn't the plan you came up with earlier be implementable?"

The three of them started arguing among themselves, and Aine couldn't get a word in for a while, but when she heard "that plan", Aine felt that if she didn't say anything, she might be assigned to do something she didn't know what to do.

So Aine interrupted them forcefully and said, “Wait a minute, I don’t understand at all, what is that plan?”

The three of them calmed down after Aine interrupted their quarrel. The red-haired girl explained, "Before, everyone thought that Ao-san was the kind of person who was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. The reason we couldn't be friends with her was because she didn't treat us as people who needed to be taken seriously."

"So we thought that if one of us could become Mr. Yanagisawa's friend, then as a friend of a friend, Mr. Yanagisawa would start to take us seriously."

"Finally, we need to make Qing realize that we all want to be friends with her, so that she can fully integrate into our group."

"But no one who can become Qing's friend has appeared. Only Xiao Deng shows signs of this, but it is also difficult for us to communicate with Xiao Deng."

"However, everything has turned around with the appearance of little Aine. Although I am a little unwilling, it seems that Lord Yanagisawa regards little Aine as someone who needs to be taken seriously. Little Aine is the best implementer of this plan."

"So, Aiyin-chan, whether Qing-san can fully integrate into the class and happily become friends with everyone depends on you!"

After saying that, the three of them looked at Aine with sharp eyes, making Aine feel a sense of pressure.

Aiyin forced herself to calm down and said righteously, "What are you talking about? My friendship with Ao-san is not mixed with anything impure. You want me to implement this plan, which is simply tarnishing my friendship with Ao-san."

The green-haired girl among the three put her hands together, bowed her head and begged, "Please, Aine-chan, please break through the wall of Lord Yanagisawa's heart. I will do anything!"

"Wait a minute, you don't have to go this far!"

Seeing this, Aiyin quickly helped the green-haired girl up, and then saw the other party's hopeful eyes, and then looked at the other two people, who also had a look of "I'm rooting for you".

Aiyin sighed and said, "I know. After Ao-san and I become good friends, I will introduce you to her. But Ao-san and I have only known each other for a few days, and we got along naturally before. If I suddenly take the initiative, I don't know which direction to work hard in."

Aiyin's words were not excuses. She had no idea about Qing's interests and hobbies, so she couldn't take the initiative to cater to his preferences.

At this time, the red-haired girl suggested, "How about Aine-chan invite Ao-san to form a band? The three of us became close friends because of forming a band."

"Yes, we got together at first just because we liked afterglow, and later we became good friends who could talk about anything."

Aiyin hesitated and said, "A band? But my skills can't support a band, eh?"
