"I don't know, what should I do?"
"Take out your phone, I'll show you. Also, remember to tap the window when you see a chat message. We only know you've seen our message when it shows 'read'."
During the first playthrough, Lixi broke down more than once because Lena hadn't checked the messages.
But actually, Lena watched it.
I looked at the small window that popped up from above.
But she neither replied nor clicked on the message. Since the message didn't become "read," Li Xi had no way of knowing whether she had actually seen it or not.
In order to take care of Riki's blood pressure, Aine decided to teach what needed to be taught to Ronai first.
"If Lena learns it, I'll treat you to a matcha parfait!"
Lena, who was initially not very motivated, nodded quickly upon hearing this.
"it is good."
Li Xi hesitated, wondering if it was really okay for him to join the team so casually.
But with Aine around, everything should be alright...
“rikki”.
"Matcha parfait, right? Wait a minute—"
Aine shook her head and said, "No, this child is from Hanasakigawa Junior High School."
"what?"
Li Xi looked at Le Nai. They were actually classmates?
“Third year,” Renai also said.
"...So?" Li Xi had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Ai Yin patted Li Xi on the shoulder with a smile.
"Please take good care of Lena!"
"what!?"
Lena also spoke up, "Nice to meet you. Matcha Parfait."
"Don't read it like that, I'm not called Matcha Parfait!" Li Xi couldn't help but say.
Aine said she was going to the restroom and left the second-floor cafe, leaving only Riki and Renai behind.
"Your matcha parfait."
"Thank you."
Lena thanked him happily, picked up her spoon, and started eating.
She actually said I should take good care of her... Li Xi sighed inwardly.
I'm not good at taking care of people.
But since they're classmates and bandmates, I guess I have no choice but to do it. Hopefully, this wildcat-like girl won't cause me too much trouble.
But compared to all that, Lixi cared more about one thing.
"How much do you remember?" she asked.
"Hmm?" Lena licked the cream from the corner of her mouth and asked.
"First playthrough... You probably wouldn't understand even if I said that, but you just said that you remembered Aine's birthday."
Lenai, biting her spoon, said, "Mmm, I ate the cake."
"anything else?"
"Rikki, don't you remember?" Renai asked curiously.
Why does she have to call me that too? Li Xi looked helpless.
"I don't remember," was all Li Xi could say.
“The woman with big breasts gave me cosmetics, I gave her a matcha cake, and the interesting woman gave me a watch and a notebook—” Lenai listed them one by one.
Lixi thought she was probably referring to Su Shi and Deng.
Su Shi is easy to understand; she does have a great figure. But why is Deng called an "interesting woman"?
"what about me?"
"—You gave me the headphones, and now you want to run away."
"Huh? Run away? How could I possibly do something like that?" Li Xi denied it outright.
"I did it." Lena continued eating her parfait without a care in the world.
"....Why?"
Running away during someone else's birthday celebration is such a terrible thing to do! At least Li Xi couldn't think of any reason why she would have to run away.
"shy."
"What?" Li Xi wondered if she had misheard.
Lena pointed with her spoon and smiled, "rikki, you're shy, so you want to run away."
Li Xi's ears burned: "Huh? Huh?? Huh??? You must have remembered wrong!"
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
It must be that Lena's memory is faulty, or something like that... a false memory! Yes, this reason might just be something Lena herself made up in her head.
"I'm not mistaken."
"Then let me ask you, what model of headphones did I give you?"
Lena responded frankly, "I didn't notice, I just saw that it was a headband-style device."
"A head-mounted one..." Lixi thought to himself.
If I were to give it as a gift, I would probably choose one with a high cost-performance ratio, rather than the latest model. Li Xi thought to herself that the headphones she used were like that; they were a bit pricey, but the sound quality was excellent.
Li Xi crossed her arms and muttered, "Did I accidentally give him the same headphones as me?"
In short, it's impossible to give away what you already own, since you still need it, and it doesn't seem very hygienic, since it covers your ears.
Li Xi's thoughts wandered: "No wonder I had that vague feeling before, it was related to the headphones."
It turned out to be a birthday gift for Aine.
Although this isn't a true recollection, having an impression means there's hope, and perhaps one day I'll remember everything.
"Thanks," Li Xi said.
Lena didn't quite understand why she suddenly thanked her, but she nodded in response anyway.
"I want to play guitar."
"up to you."
After finishing her parfait, Lena played a tune and then left the second-floor cafe without hesitation.
How dashing!
Lixi picked up the cup and thought to herself as she washed it, "The headphones...."
Should we send it again?
"Huh? Where's Ryuna?" Aine returned at this moment, looking around curiously.
"They finished eating and playing music and then left."
Ai Yin nodded: "Sometimes I envy her for being able to do whatever she wants."
"One of those wildcat-like creatures is enough, but you..."
Lixi stared at Aine's face, quite certain that his opinion was correct.
"It's a dog, isn't it?"
Ai Yin raised an eyebrow: "Why are they all saying that?"
"Did others say the same thing?"
"Yes, I do have canine teeth, but that's natural."
Li Xi said calmly, "I think what others are talking about is not your physical characteristics, but rather the feeling that you give off like a pink-haired dog."
"Wouldn't that make things worse? Sigh... Oh well, dogs are cute too, it doesn't matter," Aine sighed.
Does being cute mean it doesn't matter?
Lixi couldn't understand, so she decided to change the subject, saying that the most important thing right now was the band.
"Wildcat has already joined the band, you, me, her... all that's missing is Su Shi and Deng."
Aiyin looked at the group chat name "MyGO!!! (3)" and nodded her head with satisfaction. She put away her phone and winked playfully.
“No problem, I’ve already figured out how to bring Soyorin in.”
So, in the end, it's the lamp? Lixi wondered.
Aine picked up her schoolbag: "See you later, Riki!"
"Uh..."
Lixi watched Aiyin leave quickly; she had wanted to ask Aiyin a question.
"Do you want a gift?" — That was what Lixi wanted to ask.
Specifically, she wanted to ask Aine if she wanted headphones.
But what if Aine has high expectations, but she guesses wrong, and the headphones she gave in the first time around aren't the same ones she gave in the current timeline? Aine might be disappointed.
She has all her memories, but none of the birthday gifts she received before are with her.
It would be great if we could know the model number of the headphones.
Should we just ask? No, that won't work.
Asking indirectly? Aine would probably be keenly aware of her intentions.
Li Xi frowned.
She didn't want to surprise Aine, but she didn't want to be expected to do so.
Expectations mean there's a possibility of disappointment.
This was a gift to thank and reward Aine, and we shouldn't disappoint her. Perhaps changing the gift would be the best choice.
What should I give as a gift?
Lixi knew nothing about this.
"Headphones?"
The first thing that came to mind was still headphones.
In the first playthrough, I would probably have other options. The headphones are just the best one because she would definitely understand Aine's preferences better.
"I'm not like I am now." Li Xi sighed, somewhat dejected.
I can't even choose a gift...
"What's wrong? You look so worried," a senior employee asked curiously.
"It's nothing...just a gift..."
"Gift?"
Lixi snapped out of her daze, realizing she had blurted it out without thinking.
Since things had come to this, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "I want to give a gift to a friend, but I don't know what to give."
"Hmm~ Indeed, gift-giving is an art, but it mainly depends on the person! Is your friend the pink-haired girl you've been chatting with a lot lately?"
"Ah."
The senior colleague seemed inclined to offer advice, asking, "What kind of person is he?"
What kind of person...? Li Xi pondered, "At first I thought he was very impressive, and I still think so now... but he can be a bit clingy at times."
