MyGO? The string value monster craves the band girl!

Genmaki Yui looked at Aine, who had a rare serious expression on her face, and asked, "Well, it seems that there are people who don't want you to be seen in Tokyo, Aine-san?"

"what?"

Ai Yin, who was in a bad mood, was stunned when she heard that, and then she felt a little annoyed.

"Genmaki-san...you're asking me questions like that without even knowing my specific situation?"

“Why would I know Aine-san’s situation so well?”

Aine was speechless for a moment.

But Aine heaved a sigh of relief immediately, collected herself, and asked again:

"Has it ever occurred to you, Genmaki-san...that such a question might be offensive?"

Genmaki Yui shook her head. "If Aine-san didn't have this concern, she might have thought my question was a bit baffling and could have just replied that it was okay."

"But judging by Aine-san's reaction, it seems like she's really concerned about this, right?"

“Last time, when I mentioned my time in London to Aine-san, her expression and eyes seemed to be evasive. So I thought… since Aine-san didn’t seem to want me to mention her experience in London, maybe she doesn’t want others to mention it either?”

Xian Juanwei said this, his eyes covered with a layer of reminiscence:

"Seeing Aine's reaction reminded me of a classmate who abruptly ended his studies and fled London due to family changes... He blocked all of us he knew in the UK on his social media accounts, and later even deleted them altogether."

"It wasn't until we saw his father's name on the international news that we figured out what was going on."

Aine’s shoulders trembled, and a forced smile appeared on her face.

"So that's how it is... Seriously, how could it be such a reason? It seems like a joke."

"I thought I was acting normal... It's so unfair. It's because of someone I don't even know."

Aine’s chest, which had been deliberately puffed out due to her confrontational mentality, slowly returned to its normal angle, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with a look of both crying and laughing.

"Since Xianjuan-san thought I didn't want to mention what happened in London, why did you deliberately bring it up just now? It seems... it's not very nice to open up other people's wounds like this."

At this time, the waiter brought in two cups of mocha. Xian Juan waited for the other party to leave before replying:

“Because, as for Aine-san, simply avoiding the issue won’t solve the problem, right?”

"..."

Silent Aine blew on the mocha and took a careful sip.

"As long as the band continues to hold live shows, they'll have to face the unavoidable problem of anyone appearing in the audience. Aine-san, you really want to form a band seriously, right?"

“Hmm…” Aine put down her coffee cup and nodded dejectedly.

“And it’s not just live…Ain-san, whenever you’re out in public, whether it’s shopping or going to a convenience store, you’re likely to run into someone you don’t want to see, right?”

"Public avoidance syndrome" is something Xianjuanwei has seen in another person, her name is customer service Xiaoxiang.

In order to avoid being seen by familiar people, I don’t even dare to go to a convenience store to work.

Aiyin took another sip of mocha to ease her tension, tilted her head and whispered, "But what can I do..."

Yui Genmaki's fingers were rubbing the edge of the coffee cup. Seeing this, she said solemnly to Aine:

"If you don't mind, could you please tell me the details of the situation, Aine-san?"

“I want to see Aine-san smile.”

“Huh?” Aine, caught off guard, gripped the handle of her coffee cup and looked at Genmaki Yui in surprise. After a moment, she blinked and said:

"why?"

Chapter 52: Aine is a gift from God to me (Blade Extra 1/2)

Reasons like wanting to see people smile... isn't that a bit too ridiculous!

And why did they find me, an ordinary high school girl?

Besides, don’t I look very smiling?

Aine put down her coffee cup, closed her eyes and calmed her turbulent mood, then looked at Genmaki Yui and said seriously:

"Mr. Xianjuan, please forgive me for not understanding what you meant by the reason you just mentioned."

"And you suddenly want to help me and make me smile... without even asking for my opinion!"

"Thank you for your kindness, Xianjuan-san, but... I don't understand why an ordinary high school girl like me deserves your serious assistance."

"If Xianjuan-san can't answer my questions, then the very act of accepting Xianjuan-san's help would scare me. Please allow me to refuse."

Although Aine narrowed her eyes and smiled, the caution and vigilance in her words were obvious.

Xianjuan Wei took a sip of mocha, closed her eyes and thought, "Since Aiyin has doubts, then of course I will answer them. Well, where should I start..."

Aine, can't you just be a little more appropriate at this time?

Wouldn't it be artificially adding difficulties to our relationship by suddenly becoming so calm and intellectual?

"Ain, do you know a few numbers?" Xianjuan Wei put down the coffee cup, opened her eyes again, and looked at Ain with clear and serious eyes.

"The number of people a person can have brief interactions with in their lifetime, such as conversations and conscious meetings, is around 100,000. Even if we include things like leaving comments on videos and calling out to waiters in restaurants, the number is still around this level."

"Tokyo has a population of 14 million, which means that if you live in Tokyo your entire life, you will only briefly interact with one in 140 of them."

"And London only has about nine million people."

"According to relevant statistics, excluding short-term tourists, the total number of Japanese people living in London for work, study abroad, etc. remains between 4 and 6."

“Even if you’re born in a wealthy place like Tokyo, most people will never visit London once in their lifetime.”

Aine, who was once a top student in junior high school, subconsciously calculated "what is the probability that two people from Tokyo who have been to London will intersect in their lifetime", but immediately found that the conditions were insufficient and could only guess that it was a relatively small number.

Xian Juanwei continued, "I studied abroad in London for about three months. Even if I posted more than 50 Instagram posts a day, the total would only be around 5,000."

"These 5,000 posts were from all over the world, but I just happened to see Aine's post and even liked it."

Hearing this, Aine rubbed the waistband of her gray and white plaid suspender skirt awkwardly.

Genjumaki Yui gave Aine a break and continued to argue, "You're a fucking gift from God to me":

"There are about 50-80 flights from London to Tokyo every day, but Aine happened to be able to buy a ticket on the same flight as me on the same day back to Tokyo."

Aine tensed up all of a sudden and laughed “Ahaha” to ease the awkwardness.

"So... Xianjuan-san even remembers what happened on the flight. Last time when you were at RiNG, you said we'd met at a live event before. I thought that was the only thing you remembered about me, apart from your Instagram updates..."

"Wasn't it because Xiao Deng was there last time? It would be embarrassing for Aiyin to mention the London flight in front of her, right?" Genjumaki Wei's voice slowed down a bit.

“Hmm…” Aine couldn’t quite put her feelings into words at the moment.

Yui Genmaki started to list things to Aine by waving her fingers:

"So, Aine-san, we were both born in Tokyo, happened to be in London at the same time during my three short months studying abroad, I happened to see and like your updates from all over the world, happened to return to China on the same day, happened to choose the same flight out of 50-80 and happened to sit next to each other, and after returning to Tokyo, we happened to meet again at a livehouse..."

Three months of studying abroad...is that short? Aine thought subconsciously.

“Aine-san, two people who had never met before were able to combine all of the above coincidences. Even if the statistical probability is not zero, the actual probability of it happening is close to zero.”

"And yet, something like this happened right before my eyes... It was such a coincidence, it was almost as if someone had arranged it on purpose."

"Now do you understand, Aine-san? To me, you are a very special and precious person. It's like a gift that God has placed before me that I can't help but want to open."

“So much so that I feel I can’t turn a blind eye to the problems you might be facing. Since so many coincidences have happened between us that, while insignificant in themselves, have come together at the same time, they are simply unimaginable, I hope to continue this precious bond. I hope to be friends with you, Aine-san.”

Aiyin, who was used to being a bully in the community, couldn't help but blush after hearing these continuous words - she couldn't judge whether these words lacked Runhua's emotional intelligence and seemed too straightforward.

Now these words have made her want to cover her ears and not listen. If she moisturizes it again, it will become so greasy!

After taking a sip of mocha to ease the awkwardness, Aine touched her head and smiled a little nervously: "Genmaki-san, we are actually already friends."

"Of course I don't want an acquaintance who is just a nodding acquaintance... Aine-san, you understand, right?" Genmaki Wei smiled, imitating the seductive expression that Su Shi had shown in front of him before.

Aiyin wanted to cover her ears but was afraid that it would be impolite and was in a state of confusion.

“Oh… really!” Aiyin, who was a little embarrassed and annoyed, slapped the table twice.

"I know, I know! Genmaki-san is my good friend now, okay?"

Xianjuan Wei nodded with a smile on her face, and gently pushed the mocha on the table a little further away.

"Well, I'll do my best to make every friend smile. Aine-san, can you let me hear your troubles?"

Aiyin raised her hands and begged for mercy, "Um, Genmaki-san, you keep saying the word 'smile' and it's almost embarrassing... Is there some reason why you particularly like this word?"

He let out a "huh" and explained to Aiyin:

"Because of my upbringing, I've always been able to get enough material satisfaction since I was a child. As a result, I became numb to this aspect very early on and didn't have any extra pursuits."

"Therefore, I pursue emotional satisfaction more, and the emotional stimulation brought by regular sports such as skydiving has long raised the threshold for satisfaction in this area to a very high level - it would be very dangerous to continue, so I basically don't actively engage in this aspect of things anymore."

"My sister has loved to laugh since she was a child and has always wanted to fill the world with smiles... Although I am more realistic, I am inevitably deeply influenced by her."

"When I work with her to help others smile, my emotional needs are met accordingly, and my threshold for emotional satisfaction from helping others remains almost unchanged."

Xianjuan Wei looked at Aiyin who was gradually listening attentively and continued:

"So I gradually began to enjoy the feeling of bringing smiles to others with her... 'Smile' was just her favorite name, whether it was happiness or laughter, it didn't matter."

"I don't seek to make everyone in the world smile, and my sister is very mature and sensible... She has always used the methods she can... mainly music to bring smiles from the heart. She would never blindly throw money around, which would make the beneficiaries gradually greedy and ultimately defeat the purpose of making more people smile."

"As for me...at least for every friend I recognize, I will do my best to help them smile from the bottom of their hearts in front of me."

But rather than making them happy after solving the problem with my help, I hope that this smile is because they are happy that "they can see me"... Xianjuan Wei said silently.

"So, Aine-san, tell us your dream!"

Aine pulled the corners of her mouth together, revealing a helpless expression that looked like sweating soybeans.

"Mr. Xianjuan, you just said you were just helping me solve a problem!"

Chapter 53 The First Dun Dun Deserter Conference (4.5K 2-in-1)

"Mr. Xianjuan, please don't be so serious when you say your dream. It's like you're on a variety show!"

"Please consider other people's opinions and comments..."

For a moment, Aine felt that “this person’s thinking is so out of control, there’s really no hope for him.”

However, Xianjuan Wei still had that nonchalant expression on his face as if he was talking about something serious.

“Ah, Aine-san, living in this world, it’s hard to survive if you care too much about what others think.”

Aiyin said sullenly with a bitter face, "Of course Genmaki-san has the right to say that. After all, no one would say anything bad about Genmaki-san..."

"Of course, no one would do that if it wasn't nice, but during school years... there were times when people isolated themselves from each other due to a lack of understanding. I had a friend from a very well-off family, but because he cared too much about what others thought, he spent about ten years of his student life very unhappy."

When it comes to things like your mentality, if you adjust yourself properly, you will be like String Heart, who is called "Hanasakigawa's Different Space" and "The Mysterious Weirdo", and still sings and dances as usual.

She couldn't adjust herself well and her mentality exploded, which was Charlotte Sanen who wanted to launch the "Dark Revenge to Steal Smile" against Genmaki Shin.

Hanasakigawa, which was once full of talented people, is now almost out of the game in the second grade. The leader is Charlotte, who doesn't even want to form a five-member girl band. It's a pity.

"Then please be honest, Aine-san. What kind of concerns are you facing?"

Aine hummed softly, lowering her gaze to look at her knees.

"I went to study in the UK in high school. Genmaki-kun can probably guess that, it's pretty obvious... I barely lasted a few days in high school before transferring back to Tokyo."

"My reasons weren't as serious as family misfortunes, but now that I think about it, they were actually much more shameful..."

In order to protect his classmate's privacy, Xianjuan Wei did not tell Aiyin that his classmate's family tragedy was not just a simple one - if his classmate's parents had packed up their belongings and ran away 24 hours later, they would have been hanged from the street lamp in the Presidential Palace.

Xianjuan Wei listened quietly to Ain talking about her past experience of going to a girls' school in the UK because she mistakenly took her English test score as her oral communication ability, and ran away after only a few days because of the difficulty in language communication and the unbearable inferiority complex caused by the people around her.

Ryuko, who is not a native English speaker, will go through this stage to some extent, and in Aine's case...

I'm afraid the main reason is that compared to other overseas students who went to the UK to wash dishes to earn a living and gamble on life, Aiyin, who was spoiled by her parents and had a way out at any time, and was used to being the center of the spotlight and the favorite of everyone, did not get out of her weak state of mind in time.

"So, even though I transferred to Haneda, I still can't figure out how to explain to my former classmates why I returned to Tokyo..."

"It was already known throughout the school that their student council president was going to study abroad in England during high school..."

"So, Aiyin originally chose the strategy that received the most likes, but found out that she couldn't explain to her fans if she withdrew from the competition right after entering?" Genjumaki Yui finally spoke again.

"Mr. Xianjuan, go ahead and laugh if you want. You think it's funny too, right?"

“No… well, I’m just a little happy. That’s great. The problem Aine-san is facing is the type I can solve immediately.”

Aine, who had been gathering momentum, suddenly lost her energy as if punctured.

"Is that... the reason?"
