Chihaya Aine opened her mouth slightly, surprised by Takamatsu Akari's bold idea.
"Yes, I will talk to Chu Hua."
"..."
Nagasaki Motoyo remained silent, listening to every word the two spoke.
"Ahem, since that's the case, let's finalize the battle plan."
"I'll handle the negotiations with Hai Ling, and Tomori will communicate with Chu Hua. Let's all just wait quietly for our results."
"As for Sue, Aine, and the stray cat, you just need to focus on practicing. Tomori and I will take care of it."
She will cherish tomori's wishes.
"Hey, I can help too," Chihaya Aine said, pouting.
"Then Aine, come with me!"
Takamatsu Akari walked up to Chihaya Aine and took her hand.
"!"
"!"
The black-haired girl and the flaxen-haired girl turned their heads at the same time.
"Oh dear, Xiaodeng, why don't we let Aiyin practice? We're currently in a period where new songs and old songs overlap, and Aiyin actually has quite a lot of practice to do."
Nagasaki Motoyo smiled and calmly pulled Takamatsu Akari's soft little hand away from Aine's.
"Soyorin, what you're saying sounds suspicious. What, can't you stand to see Tomorin holding my hand?"
In an instant, Chihaya Aine realized the deceptive nature of the fox behind the smiling mask of the Sose. And she responded accordingly.
"Hmm, Tomorin's little hands are so cute to touch, I can't stop squeezing them, what should I do~"
As they were talking, the pink-haired girl's hands suddenly climbed onto Takamatsu Akari's entire palms. She looked at Nagasaki Motoyo and Shiina Tatsuki with a provocative expression.
"You guy..."
"What Aine said was really too much~"
One of them was furious, while the other was still smiling. Gao Songdeng stared blankly at the three people's different expressions, his mind still reeling.
Wasn't this about Ave Mujica's plan? Why is she suddenly being dragged into this? Just because she touched Aine's hand?
"Su Shi, Li Xi!" Gao Songdeng seemed to understand something and suddenly opened his mouth and shouted.
"tomori?" "Little lamp?"
Called by Takamatsu Akari's voice, the two of them stopped being angry and turned around to look at Takamatsu Akari with a puzzled expression.
"Everyone... don't fight. If it's about holding hands, then hold hands with everyone..."
Before the words had even finished, Gao Songdeng acted swiftly, grasping Su Shi's hands with both of his own.
“Hey, Little Lamp, you…”
"Does Su Shi like this kind of touch?"
As if ignoring the girl's shy, soft voice, Takamatsu Akari continued to interact with Nagasaki Sose with her hands. The warmth and rubbing sensation from her palms made Sose blush.
Little lamp, what on earth are you doing!
"5, 4, 3, 2, 1..."
Takamatsu silently counted the seconds it took to hold Aine's hand, and after it ended, she turned her gaze to Riki, who was furthest away.
"Ah, Tomori, I, I don't need to! I'm not going to get jealous over something like Sose touching hands!"
As Takamatsu Akari walked towards him step by step, Shiina Riki felt an immense pressure, and steam rose from his face!
"No, you can't, Lixi, if you refuse, then you'll end up with Lixi..."
"That's not fair."
If we agree to treat everyone equally, then we cannot make exceptions for anyone.
Aine got her hand, Suze got her hand, how could Riki not get his? And Ryuna will get hers later too!
"Riki, can you please stop saying one thing and meaning another?"
Chihaya Aine teased with a mischievous grin.
"I'm not like you, you shameless bastard!"
"But I touched Little Lamp's soft hand~"
"you!!!"
Although Shiina Tatsuki wanted to refute what Chihaya Aine said, it seemed to be true... Only by taking the initiative could one reap rich rewards!
"Hey……"
So, Shiina Tatsuki gave up struggling and decided to face her inner self.
In just a few seconds, Tomori's gentle hands entered her rough palms, radiating warmth.
"Lixi's hands are so hard..."
As her fingertips gently glided across Shiina Ritsuki's palm, the sensation made Takamatsu Akari pause slightly. Ritsuki's palm was not as soft as she had imagined; instead, it was covered with fine calluses, rough and hard.
She hadn't observed carefully before, and it wasn't until she got her hands on them that Gao Songdeng was surprised to find that Li Xi's hands were really quite different from hers.
Shiina Tatsuki turned her head slightly, seemingly a little embarrassed, but she quickly regained her composure.
"Since you're a drummer, how can you not have calluses on your hands? It's nothing, Tomori, I'm used to it."
"Lixi, don't say that..."
Gao Songdeng shook her head, her slender fingers gently touching the black-haired girl's lips, signaling her to stop talking.
"Everyone worked very hard, and Lixi worked very hard too. These calluses... must have their significance."
Because he's a drummer, it's expected that he has calluses on his hands. Takamatsu Akira instinctively disliked this statement.
This makes it seem like Lixi's efforts are all deserved, but that's not actually the case!
"Tomorin means that Riki shouldn't diminish the significance of your hard work. If I got such thick calluses from practicing, my first reaction would probably be to show them off to everyone, right?!"
They put in a lot of effort and hard work for the band's practice. As long as they have calluses as a result, they can applaud themselves!
How can we replace all those hard-working days with just a "should"?
"What Aine said means... what I mean."
Gao Songdeng's face was flushed, and her expression was full of heartache.
Lixi's efforts should not be easily forgotten!
"Yes, I... I understand, Tomori..."
A strange tingling sensation kept coming from her palms, and Shiina Tatsuki's face flushed red.
Rather than praising herself, she usually puts pressure on herself, but since Tomori has said so, perhaps she could change that a bit?
"Oh, right, Lixi, I still have the heartfelt words that Maki-nee wrote for me last time!"
"She kept telling me not to look at it, and that I... should just give it to Lixi. Now I'll give it to Lixi!"
At that moment, Takamatsu Akari suddenly recalled the memory of going to the Tsukimori concert that day, and then she quickly took out her pretty green notebook.
"Hey, is this what my sister wrote to me from the bottom of her heart?"
Takamatsu Akari's words came from beside her ear, and Shiina Tatsuki suddenly didn't know which point to focus on. Last time, Maki-neechan, the truth...
No, this sentence seems to be full of important points!
Shiina Tatsuki tremblingly took the green notebook, a subtle tension rising in her heart.
"Hmm, would Lena like some matcha parfait? Soyorin, why don't you come too?"
At this moment, the atmosphere was subtle. Chihaya Aine chuckled and slowly pushed Kaname Rakuna and Nagasaki Motoyo out of the training room.
Shiina Riki shook her head, only to find a pink-haired girl turning around and giving her a sly smile.
"This guy is really..."
She sighed with mixed feelings, and under Takamatsu's expectant gaze, opened her notebook.
She was actually quite curious about what her sister would write to her.
"Lixi, well, when you see this, I guess I'm not sure how to describe my feelings, right?"
"After talking with Xiaodeng, it seems like this is the first time I've really gotten to know you properly."
Two lines of text appeared in his field of vision. Shiina Tatsuki frowned slightly, and his palms began to sweat slightly.
She seemed a little afraid to watch any longer.
How does her older sister actually view her?
A failure, cold-hearted, inarticulate, and socially inept...
In just a few seconds, Shiina Tatsuki listed a whole bunch of her own shortcomings.
But if she gives up here, it would mean that all the heartfelt words her sister wrote to her would be wasted.
Whether it's good or bad, you should at least watch it to the end.
The black-haired girl took a deep breath, fully prepared to face any storm.
"Xiaodeng said that you have always admired me and wanted to take me as your role model. To be honest, I was really shocked when I first heard her say that."
"Does Lixi, who is always independent and aloof, actually think this way about her sister?"
Did Tomori even tell his sister this?
Shiina Riki blushed and glanced up at Takamatsu Akari, but continued watching.
"I am the captain of the Haneoka Girls' Academy Brass Band, and I have won first place in the regional competition."
"I was an outstanding graduate of Haneoka High School, and my story and legends still circulate in several high schools to this day."
"But I also have to admit, I am not a..."
"What a good older sister, Lixi."
"I'm not really good at saying nice things, but Lixi, please remember this..."
“You have never been Shiina Maki’s sister.”
"You are you, Shiina Tatsuki, with your unique strengths."
After silently reading through all the contents of the notebook, Shiina Tatsuki lowered her head, her bangs slightly obscuring her eyes, making it impossible for Takamatsu Akari to see her true expression.
"Lixi, how...how is it?"
Although Takamatsu Akari didn't know what Maki had written on it, judging from Riki's expression, it must be something special!
"What else could it be, Tomori? Did you cry because you were so moved after watching it?"
Shiina Tatsuki finally raised his head, but instead of looking up, he smiled and started joking.
“I was actually thinking that just now, Lixi.”
Gao Songdeng rubbed his fingers together sheepishly.
"I, I'm not that weak, Tomori. You think a few words can make me cry? Even if my sister wrote it, no way."
"Since she is Shiina Tatsuki, then Shiina Tatsuki should act the way she should."
As Shiina Riki stood up from his drummer position, he felt a heavy weight slowly lifting from his heart.
Volume 2 continues! Chapter 142: Is the Galactic Battleship about to set sail?
Nothing is more uplifting than receiving encouragement from your sister...
Even if Shiina Tatsuki was unwilling, he had to admit this.
It brings happiness and joy to receive recognition from people you respect.
