MyGO has been re-femaleized in the second playthrough!

Aine thought to herself, if she gave him an eraser, the lamp might just keep it somewhere instead of taking it out to use, the pencil would too, the ruler would too... and then the room would have more and more things that belonged to her.

The mood is a bit subtle.

Being valued is a good thing, but it doesn't have to go to that extent... But Aine didn't say anything about ruining the lamp.

"So, a diary?"

"Correct."

The lamp said softly, "Aiyin, you once said that a lifetime is made up of countless moments."

"I want to be friends with Aine for life."

"Su Shi said that this is difficult because Ai Yin, you have excellent grades and a good network of connections... You should be able to go to a very good university, and you might even study abroad, so we won't be able to see each other often."

Studying abroad is one thing! Ai Yin's eyes are wandering; going on vacation is fine, but studying abroad...

Ai Yin shook her head: "That makes sense, but that's what Soyorin said to persuade you to join the band."

"Besides, we're only in our first year of high school, and graduation is still a long way off."

The lamp remained silent for a moment.

“Aine and Lixi have been getting quite close lately,” she suddenly changed the subject.

"Eh?"

I'm a little... lonely.

Ai-yin blinked repeatedly, somewhat out of sync with the conversation.

Loneliness? Being so close?

"I feel like both Aine and Riki are suddenly very distant from me."

Ai Yin's expression was subtle. Was she jealous? There was nothing between her and Li Xi. They just talked about the band every day and chatted for a while.

No, maybe not...

"Is it because of the band?" Ai Yin asked tentatively.

The lamp nodded silently, without looking at Aine.

"Sorry." Then she suddenly apologized again.

"No need to apologize."

"I was the one who decided not to play in a band, but I'm also the one who feels lonely," Deng said softly, her conflicted feelings making her expression look rather unpleasant.

The lamp also felt that this version of itself was troublesome.

"That--"

Aine thought this was a good opportunity; if the light wavered, he might reconsider her invitation.

"—Want to join our band? Riki really hopes you can come. Soyorin has already given up on the idea of ​​reforming Crychic. Although she's still a bit stubborn, I think she'll join us later."

Su Shi gave up on reforming the band? Deng was stunned.

What happened?

If Su Shi were also there, then after a long hesitation, the lamp stiffly shook its head.

"No. I think it's good enough that I can still meet everyone even without forming a band."

Ai Yin hid her disappointment and smiled, "I see! I understand, I won't force you."

"Thanks...."

At least not now. Ai Yin added in her mind.

"Isn't Su Shi going to reorganize Crychic? Why?" Deng asked curiously.

"Because Xiangzi rejected her."

Aine roughly told Deng the whole story, but of course, she omitted many details and modified Xiangzi's words to make them sound a bit softer.

Otherwise, the lamp would definitely feel hurt as if it were experiencing the same pain.

Su Shi wouldn't want the lamp to feel that way.

Ai-yin knew this all too well.

Even after hearing the "softened" version of Xiangzi's quotes, Deng's expression still turned pale and bloodless.

"A new...band..."

“I think there must be a reason!” Aine said.

"Then why not say it?" Deng whispered, "Yeah. But, Crychic is over after all. How is Su Shi?"

"Full of energy and vitality."

Deng felt relieved: "It must be because Aine was by her side."

Aine raised her voice triumphantly: "That's right~ but Soyorin is still not very kind to me."

"I think Su Shi probably doesn't know what to do, which is why her attitude towards Aine is so complicated."

Deng paused, then said uncertainly, "But I can't say for sure. Even though we were in the same band, there are still many things we don't understand, things we can't agree on, and things we can't compromise on."

The lamp breathed out: "Aine and I are completely different too."

"It's different, so it's not easy to be friends for life."

"It's turned back again," Aine thought to herself.

"There are also examples of people who can remain friends for life precisely because they are different," she retorted with a smile.

"But I'm not sure which one we are."

It can last a lifetime.

It still can't last a lifetime.

Even so, I still want to be friends for life.

Deng picked up a notebook and a pen, sat down next to Ai Yin, and placed the notebook and pen in front of her.

"Could you please sign your name?"

"...Signature?"

Is this some kind of contract? A contract for lifelong friendship?

Deng gripped the hem of her clothes and nodded slightly: "I want Aine's name to be on this notebook too, as a promise."

"A promise for life?"

"Ah."

In that case, Aine added a few words to the end of the lantern's name, making it "Takamatsu Touka Chihaya Aine".

The handwriting is different; you can tell at a glance that it was written by two different people.

"How about making a design while you're at it?"

"A pattern?" the lamp asked, puzzled.

"Yes, yes, put your hand on it."

Ai Yin turned to the first page, let the lamp place its palm on the table of contents, adjusted her posture to get closer, and then picked up her pen to trace the outline of the palm.

Start from the wrist on the thumb side and end on the little finger side.

The lamp raised its hand, stared at the pattern, and then immediately turned to the last page.

"It's time for Aine."

Ai Yin smiled and said, "Okay."

He placed his hand on the last page of the paper, and the next second, he heard Deng's slightly tense breathing.

The lamp took the pen and carefully traced the outline, as if afraid of accidentally hurting Aine.

Ai Yin didn't think it was necessary to be so careful, since the pen tip was landing on the paper, not on her skin.

It could also be because she was afraid the lines would be crooked. Then it suddenly occurred to her.

"...Okay." Deng breathed a sigh of relief.

"OK~"

The lamp looked at the handprint, pondered for a moment, then picked up its pen and added a smiley face.

Add a small canine tooth as well.

Aine's expression was subtle: "Why add canine teeth?"

"Because Aine's canine teeth... are cute."

Should I be happy that my teeth were praised? Ai Yin was speechless.

"Her hands are also very long and beautiful."

"is it?"

"Ah."

Ai Yin picked up the pen, thought for a moment, and added a smiley face to the palm print on the catalog.

Although it looks a bit strange, the lamps would probably be happy if they were in pairs.

I glanced at him, and sure enough, a look of joy appeared on Deng's face.

"That's settled then," Deng said softly.

She lowered her head, her cheeks flushed: "Um...please take care of me in the future."

The agreement we signed was probably just a promise to be friends for life, right?

"Please advise!"

But I still want a band for life. Ai Yin thought again.

Chapter 40 Ordinary and Taken for granted

Deng carefully placed the notebook into the first drawer of the desk.

Seeing this, Aine said, "This isn't what Tomorin wants me to do, is it?"

"Um... But, Aine, you've already done so much, I don't know if I can make any more requests."

To be honest, the fact that Aine made a promise to her is enough. Asking for anything more would be asking for more.

Although this was not the original purpose of the lamp, the agreement was simply made as a result.

Ai Yin's voice was cheerful: "No problem, go ahead and say it."

"That"

Deng hesitated for a moment, then blushed and said, "Can we go to bed together?"

""

Ok?

On the bed!? Why is she blushing? For a moment, Aine thought of an unspeakable secret, but quickly dismissed it: the lights are the same whether it's the first or second playthrough.

The lamp in the first playthrough didn't have that orientation, so it shouldn't have in the second playthrough either.

"I must be overthinking it!" Ai Yin was absolutely certain, but her tone still carried a hint of panic.

"What are you going to do on the bed?"

Deng stammered, "I...I can't explain it clearly..."

It's at times like these that you need to make things clear!

After some hesitation, Aine agreed to the lamp and climbed the ladder to the bed.

She could faintly smell the fragrance on the bed, which made her even more uneasy. But for now, she could only trust the light.

And even if the imagined scenario happens, she still has the right to refuse!

With a click, the lights went out.

The lights were turned off. The curtains were drawn, and the room became dark.
