I went all in on Group C

“But at the same time, I’m worried about those members who leave despite this.”

"I'm...very afraid that I'll be powerless and fail to live up to your expectations."

After he finished speaking, Ito Kaiji's heartbeat quickened slightly due to nervousness, and he quickly reviewed what he had just said.

The first thing he did was point out that it was his first time meeting someone of the opposite sex, indicating that he was not a playboy.

She then shows her inferiority complex to reduce the threat she feels as a man, which in turn stimulates Nagasaki Suyo's already strong maternal instinct.

While praising Nagasaki Suyo, he reiterated that he and she were on the same side.

Finally, he retreated to advance, saying openly that he was afraid of being powerless, but in fact he expressed his strong desire to help the other person.

The only flaw is his acting skills. Ito Kaiji has never acted before, so he lowered his head to prevent being seen through.

Well, it's basically all routine. At least in desperate situations, Ito Kaiji's reason will not stop working.

Fortunately, the effect was successful, and Nagasaki Suyo didn't seem to notice anything wrong with Ito Kaiji's performance.

She rubbed her fingers gently and spoke in a still very tight voice.

"We're not meeting in private. This is a public place. It doesn't matter if someone sees us. The Moon Forest isn't some strange place that prohibits contact with men."

"Although this is also my first time being alone with a stranger of the opposite sex... I feel a little shy after hearing what you said~"

Tilting her head slightly, Nagasaki Suyo acted like an innocent girl who was embarrassed to look at the opposite sex.

He even fanned his face with his hands as if his face was burning.

Even the waiter began to wonder if Nagasaki Motoyo was such a pure-hearted person.

How come I never seemed to notice this when I was in the band before?

Could it be that her attention was drawn to someone else?

Well, yes, this waiter is also a member of crychic and serves as the drummer.

The waiter's name tag read "Shiina Tatsuki".

I have to say that when Ito Kaiji discovered Shiina Riki, he was very surprised. He could actually get a buy one get one free deal!

Especially the other party's name, Lixi...interest!

That sounds like a good sign!

However, before Ito Kaiji could talk to Shiina Riki, Nagasaki Suyo immediately placed an order and said, "Ito-kun, you must be very hungry. Eat something first."

Even though Ito Kaiji was humble, she didn't listen. Instead, she started urging Shiina Riki to quickly notify the kitchen.

It seems like there is a little bit of suspicion of chasing people away.

It's like I'm afraid that Shiina Riki will say something weird.

........Facing Ito Kaiji's puzzled gaze, Nagasaki Suyo picked up the menu and covered her face.

He said quietly, "Lixi cares a lot about the band members. If she says anything about me to you later, please don't take it too seriously."

"Because she must be embellishing me. I'm not as good as she thinks."

Nodding with relief, Ito Kaiji felt that Nagasaki Suyo was, ah, humble, too humble.

I actually feel shy when others say good things about me.

He is indeed a very, very good person!

If the other person didn't really care about the band and was the only person who could help him at the moment, Ito Kaiji would never drag the other person into this.

However.........

In fact, Nagasaki Suyo's expression behind the menu was not shy at all, but an expression of miscalculation!

Yes, she is not the gem that Ito Kaiji imagined, her mind is quite complicated!

005 Li Xi is a tsundere?

Rubbing her fingers, Nagasaki Suyo tried to calm herself down and not be shaken by some unexpected events.

This time, she had the sudden idea of inviting Ito Kaiji to dinner. She didn't expect that Shiina Riki was still working today. She thought he would definitely be chasing after the lead singer and had no time to work.

If she hadn't immediately sent Shiina Riki away and warned Ito Kaiji that Shiina Riki's evaluation of Nagasaki Suyo was inaccurate, the following drama would have been difficult to perform.

Yes, from the first second that Ito Kaiji looked at her, she was acting, playing the role of an innocent girl.

After all, she didn't become a young lady since she was born. She also had a hard life when she was a child, especially her parents quarreled every day and finally divorced.

It's very difficult to remain innocent in such a family environment.

As for why he wanted to act, it was simple: to ensure that he could drag Kaiji Ito into the water.

Through the experience of chatting online with Ito Kaiji these days, Nagasaki Suyo can see that the other party is definitely a very passionate person.

After all, they would desperately offer her comfort and encouragement for the band they supported, would cry bitterly over their breakup, and would even be more desperate than her when a member left every day.

When they met in real life, not only did he think of her reputation first, but he also worried about his own lack of ability.

It can be said that Tutu is a simple and outstanding young man.

So...it's easy to take advantage of him.

To be specific, in this swamp-like band, there was no need for a fan like Ito Kaiji to get involved too much. She used the tactic of retreating to advance to lure him in in order to find help.

Otherwise, she could have just blocked Ito Kaiji directly at that time. There was no need to pretend that she didn't need his help.

You know, Ito Kaiji really wanted to help her, how could he give up after hearing such words?

The result is that even though the other party came to help him, he still had to say thank you to her who asked for help, and kept the initiative firmly in his own hands.

Even Nagasaki Suyo herself felt that her method was despicable. If she had not been betrayed by her fellow citizens, which led to her extreme need for a sense of security, she would not have done such a thing.

What's even more despicable is that their band's leader, Toyokawa Shoko, is a real super lady. If even she really has to alienate them from the crisis, Nagasaki Suyo knows that she will definitely not be able to solve it by herself.

At that time, Ito Kaiji would most likely choose to give up, after all, it was too dangerous.

That's why she acts.

Pretend to be an innocent girl, then show admiration for him, and even show love for him as time goes by.

Nagasaki Motoyo believed that as long as he was a man, he would never say such cowardly words as "I can't do it, I want to give up" in front of the innocent girl who loved him.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Nagasaki Suyo would never have the idea of asking Ito Kaiji to accompany her through hell. She still has the awareness that everyone has their own consequences.

But this is not a normal situation. Now is the time when crychic, a community of shared destiny, has just exploded and only she is left. This is the time when her obsession with the band is the strongest.

Even if I die, I can't give up my desire for light!

Even though she knew there was despair ahead, she still wanted to be Ikaros chasing the sun!

And Ito Kaiji is the wings she uses to fly into the sky, her [prop]!

Combined with her amazing wisdom, no matter what desperate situation she faces, there is still some hope of success.

But in this way, they become a [true community of shared destiny].

After all, when he melted, her dream was shattered.

Of course, this kind of thing of dragging people into trouble is really, really despicable.

So Nagasaki Motoyo has decided that when everything is over, no matter what the outcome, she will explain everything to Ito Kaiji and is willing to do anything in exchange for the other party's forgiveness.

She reaffirmed her determination in her mind and put down the menu, suppressing her reluctance along with it.

He quietly pointed his finger in the direction where Shiina Riki left, and introduced himself naturally.

"Ritsuki's full name is Shiina Ritsuki. She hates people using her name as a nickname. She always works very hard as a drummer."

"But she's a bit shy and often uses a harsh tone to express her concern for others, but she's actually a very gentle girl."

Upon hearing this, Ito Kaiji quickly formed a rough image of Shiina Riki in his mind, tried to describe him in the shortest possible language, and quickly tapped his hands.

"Oh, I know this one. It's called [Tsundere], right?"

"[Everything you say needs to be understood backwards], it turns out there are people like this in real life."

.....As the only one in crychic who frequently surfed the internet, Nagasaki Motoyo couldn't help but imagine Shiina Riki with twin pigtails, saying something like, "Don't get me wrong! I don't like you!" It took a lot of effort not to laugh out loud.

Considering Shiina Riki's personality, he is not very friendly no matter who he faces. Letting Ito Kaiji maintain this awareness will help him tolerate Shiina Riki, so Nagasaki Suyo did not explain.

Instead, she looked admiring, praising Ito Kaiji's evaluation for being very insightful, and warned him not to call Shiina Riki a tsundere in front of her, otherwise the other party would definitely be angry and embarrassed.

In response, Ito Kaiji showed an expression of "I understand".

So when Shiina Riki came over with Buffy and drinks, she looked at the two people who were looking at her with mysterious eyes with a strange look on her face, and their attention was mostly focused on the sides of her hair.

She couldn't help but touch her hair, wondering if she already had white hair or hair loss?

By the way, in order to make up for the absence of Toyokawa Shoko, she has been constantly learning various band-related knowledge, and she is ten times more serious than studying for the high school entrance examination.

I really want to prove to the lead singer that there is no need to take what that guy says seriously. Toyokawa Shoko is not an authority. Anyone can do what she can do!

It is she, Tatsuki Shiina, who proves that the lead singer is the best!

Yes, it was as if she had always hoped that someone would prove that she was an excellent person.

She firmly believes that the lead singer is the same person as her, so he must be looking forward to it too!

But.....no results.

As always, no matter how hard she studied, the knowledge could not be stored in her brain!

Otherwise, she wouldn't come to work just to change her mood.

I didn't expect to meet Nagasaki Suyo as soon as I arrived.

............Well, let’s use Nagasaki Suyo as a practice and try to convince her that she doesn’t need to be obsessed with Toyokawa Shoko anymore.

After that, we can all comfort the lead singer who was hurt by Toyokawa Shoko's harsh words.

Staring at Nagasaki Suyo, there was no Ito Kaiji in Shiina Riki's eyes at all, and he started to persuade him directly.

"Su Shi, you know that the band is completely finished now. It can't be the same as before."

"After all, that guy named Toyokawa Shoko who said something about a 'community of shared destiny' was the first to withdraw."

"It's ridiculous. Who does she think she is? The world can continue to function regardless of who is missing."

"How dare she, a deserter, scold the lamp!"

"We'll go to Comfort Lamp together later, then we'll form a new band and start over."

006 The Big Devil is a Lamp

Upon hearing this, Ito Kaiji was a little surprised. Is this what a tsundere is like in real life?

It sounds like there is a lot of malice towards that person named Toyokawa Shoko!

If I didn't know the truth, I would never realize that her real thoughts were completely the opposite.

If you understand it the other way around, Tatsuki Shiina should be trying to save crychic, and no one can be missing, otherwise it will just be a new band with no connection.

At the same time, she likes Toyokawa Shoko very much. After all, the more a tsundere likes someone, the harsher they will scold them.

On the contrary, I will be gentle to people I don’t care about much.

So the one called Deng seems to be not so good, and we have to scold her to wake her up?

If we organize this information,

It seems that the crisis of crychic was caused by a man named Deng, who angered Shoko Toyokawa, the core of the band who said "community of shared destiny", and drove her away.

Eventually, the explosion resulted in only Nagasaki Motoyo being left.

Yeah, Ito Kaiji finally understood.

So that's how it is. The big devil is Deng, and Shiina Riki is his teammate, but because he is a tsundere, he is embarrassed to express his inner thoughts.

So, what we need to do next is to give Shiina Riki a way out so that she can return to the team with peace of mind.

It seems very simple, just like a tutorial for beginners!

At the same time, Nagasaki Suyo, who knew the truth, looked a little unhappy.

With a slightly distorted smile, he pointed at Ito Kaiji and retorted.
