"Bunny Maid?"

Li Xi blushed: "Huh!? What are you talking about? Who would wear that kind of outfit on stage to perform!"

Ai Yin smiled and said, "Wow, what a big reaction! Just kidding. Although I really want to see it, the costumes still have to be fashionable. This time it's a softer, warmer style, like a sea of ​​flowers!"

That's more like it. Lixi felt relieved.

...Wait, Aine said she wanted to see? I still can't trust her; she said she wanted to touch her face before.

If she hadn't been stopped, she really would have touched Renai's face.

But those are all minor matters.

"Aiyin... um, I'm sorry," Lixi said softly, touching her neck.

"That's only human nature."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Aine blinked: "Isn't Riki trying to apologize for rejecting my bunny maid?"

"I will absolutely not apologize for that one thing, you can wear it yourself! What I want to apologize for is... I said some unpleasant things to you again today, it was... during training," Li Xi said in a low voice.

"I didn't take it to heart."

"Really?"

Aine laughed, "Really, really, Riki, you're overthinking it, but—"

"However?" Li Xi's heart skipped a beat.

"Riki can be a little gentler sometimes." — Saying this might cause Lixi to misunderstand, or it might make her unsure of the balance between gentleness and strictness. It's precisely because they need to continue forming a band that Lixi's strict nature is necessary.

It's always better to point out someone's mistake than not to.

The reason Aine said this was simply because she wanted to complain a little; she hadn't seen the soft and cute Riki for a while.

Since that's the case...

Aine's gaze wandered around, and she caught sight of a father carrying a child on his back.

Hey! She had an idea.

"Sometimes I want to act cute and affectionate with Riki."

Li Xi's ears burned, and he took a breath: "For example?"

"carried me."

"what?"

Ai Yin smiled and said, "Riki, you must be very strong! Every time I see you twist a bottle cap, it only takes two fingers. So carrying me for a while shouldn't be a problem!"

Li Xi sighed, "Are you serious? You want me to carry you around with your guitar on my back?"

That's no different from weight training.

"Put the guitar aside for now, just carry it from here to that street lamp." Ai Yin pointed to the street lamp in front.

"Hmm," Li Xi said thoughtfully.

If it's just carrying it for such a short distance, it's not impossible.

But is it necessary? Probably not.

"If you want to be carried, just ask your parents. Why do you need me to do it?"

"I'm already in my first year of high school, why would I need my parents' help? It would have been fine to ask that when I was a kid." Ai Yin shook her head.

Li Xi said helplessly, "Don't you think it's even more problematic to do this with a girl who's also a first-year high school student?"

"Have it?"

"Have."

Aine shook her finger: "Ricky really doesn't understand. Only people the same age can do things like that!"

"I don't really understand it, but I haven't tried to understand it either."

"So Riki's going to refuse? But my legs are so sore—"

"It's because you're taking a long detour to buy things. Stop pretending," Li Xi said, raising an eyebrow.

"Just carry me for a little while," Aine persisted.

Even though they're best friends, they can still be annoying sometimes.

Lixi thought that if she didn't accept, Aine would probably keep thinking about it, and might even bring it up to talk to others tomorrow. Besides, she still felt a little guilty towards Aine.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Xi sighed and said, "...It's just a short distance."

"Mmm! Riki, love!"

She placed the guitar and bag on the bench; the streetlight wasn't far away. Ai Yin patted Li Xi on the shoulder, gesturing for her to squat down.

Lixi squatted down, then stood up and supported Aiyin's thigh.

"Don't touch places you shouldn't touch," Ai-yin reminded her.

"Who would touch you? You're the one who shouldn't move around; you're heavier than I thought."

Ai Yin patted Li Xi's head: "Don't say things like that. You should say it's as light as a feather."

"Huh? That's clearly the truth."

However, Aine is still considered to be on the lighter side, which is thanks to her consistent body management.

Because there was no mirror or water, Lixi had no way of knowing how they looked to others, but the weight pressed against her back constantly reminded her that she was carrying Aine.

Taking one step is not difficult. Taking two steps is also not difficult.

"That's pretty steady, let's go, Riki!"

"Tsk, I can do that if you want to fall face-first into the mud."

"I am just joking."

The view was higher than I had imagined.

Lixi actually agreed to her request.

Ai Yin pressed against Riki's back, wrapping her arms around his neck: "Riki, why don't you just take me home like this?"

The faint breath I exhaled landed near my ear, making it a little itchy.

"I won't bring it," Li Xi replied immediately, unable to bring herself to do it no matter how hard she tried.

"mean."

"You don't want your guitar anymore?"

"If I didn't have a guitar, Riki would carry me back?" Aine continued, pushing her luck.

do not know.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Li Xi thought absentmindedly. She didn't have the energy to think about it right now. Both the gentle fragrance and the soft whispers brushing past her ear made her heart race.

Even though it was just carrying a short distance, it felt like I had done strenuous exercise, and I couldn't exert any strength.

"...I can only carry you to the vending machine in front."

A little further than a streetlamp, but only a little.

Ai Yin smiled and said, "Okay, what would you like to drink?"

"...Cola."

Carry Aine to the vending machine, put her down, then go back to get the guitar bag and other items, and return to Aine's side.

"Here you go." Ai Yin handed over a can of cola.

"Ah."

Watching Ai Yin pick up her guitar again, Li Xi pulled the tab. Perhaps it was because the weather had turned cold, but the soda tasted slightly icy. Even with this coolness entering his body, his chest still felt warm.

"How about Riki occasionally act cute towards me?" Aine suddenly said.

"what?"

Ai Yin said proudly, "I haven't forgotten. When we went back together before, you asked me to praise you for doing a good job."

"...Wordy."

It would be so embarrassing for Aine to act cute. She would never do that.

Chapter 104 Li Xi did it, Su Shi did it, and the lamp did it.

Inside Hanasakigawa Girls' College.

Lixi was lying on the table, playing with her phone.

[Aiyin: Everyone, check out my new design!]

[Lighting: Such a warm color tone....]

[Su Shi: Isn't it pretty good?]

[Lena: O]

What does "O" mean? OK? Or oh?

Lena's messages are so brief, sometimes she even misspells words or only sends a few letters.

Lixi opened the picture that Aiyin had sent to the group and thought it was pretty good. However, as long as it wasn't a shameful outfit like a bunny maid, the design of the costume didn't matter.

"Performance costume?"

Lixi knew without looking that it was Hailing who was striking up a conversation, and casually replied, "I guess so."

She glanced at the bass bag in Hailing's hand.

"Going to work?"

Despite being a highly skilled bassist, Hai Ling has never been a regular member of any band. Whenever a band needs her, she will help out—not for free, of course.

I heard she played bass for thirty bands, but it seems she's only active in ten of them.

Just like mercenaries.

"Yes, a new band approached me and asked me to wear a mask and perform something like a stage play."

"Huh? What kind of weird band is this? Don't get scammed." Li Xi raised an eyebrow.

Hai Ling took out her phone to check the time: "Don't worry, my mask is still pretty cool. The captain... seems to be serious about doing this, but who knows, it might explode one day, but that has nothing to do with me."

"You might as well change your name to Mercenary."

"That's not bad either. But I'm quite envious."

"What are you envious of?"

Hailing glanced at Lixi's phone screen: "...Nice clothes."

“Indeed, but this guy has terrible taste in names. Do you want to wear it? She should be quite happy, after all, she’ll have her first customer.” Li Xi replied, propping her chin on her hand.

"I can consider it. I'm leaving now."

"Oh."

A band that wears masks and puts on stage plays? That sounds pretty frivolous, Lixi thought.

She would never approve of this kind of band.

But Hailing definitely knows what she's doing. Although she's not tall—she looks tall because she wears platform shoes—she's still a pretty reliable person.

Just then, Lixi saw the new message.

[Aine: Riki, are you free? Come with me to buy fabric!]

Anyway, we couldn't book a recording studio today, so we couldn't do the training camp... After thinking about it, Li Xi agreed.

[Li Xi: It's not impossible]

[Aine: I didn't say no?]

[Li Xi: You should be glad you didn't send it to Su Shi]
