"What's there to be proud of about something like this?" Arisaki couldn't help but complain.

Rimi noticed that her companion was distracted, so she asked, "Saiya-chan, do you have any different ideas?"

"Ah, it's okay," Saaya said, coming back to her senses. "I was just thinking, it's been so long since Popipa first played STAR BEAT!~."

"Yeah, that was our first song and also our first official performance together." Rimi reminisced.

Sha Ling laughed at herself, "It's only been less than two years, but it feels like ages ago. What's going on?"

Arisaki didn't seem too sad. "Maybe it's because we've been through a lot together, so we feel fulfilled."

Duohui analyzed: "That is to say, Mr. Tianna may have been paying attention to us for a long time."

"Why do you say that, Otae?" Kasumi looked puzzled.

"Because when I chat with Tianna-san, it feels like we've known each other for a long time, there's not much of a sense of unfamiliarity."

"I feel a bit like that," Rimi agreed.

"Got it!" Kasumi suddenly shouted.

Before she could say anything, Arisaki interrupted her reflexively, "Wait a minute, Kasumi, you're not having any weird ideas again, are you?"

"Hehe, Arisa~." Kasumi walked forward and hugged Arisaki's arm, speaking in a coquettish and intimate tone.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Arisaki blushed and pulled her hand away. "Just so you know, don't bring up anything too extreme. Everyone's already very busy."

"I want this..."

"Oh, good idea."

"No matter what Kasumi says, Otae, you will agree, right?"

"How about inviting Lenai and the others to join us as well."

"Sure, their band's performance last time was super great."

"Then let's do this..."

---------

The next day, at the cafe on the second floor of RiNG.

When Shiina Riki, who was working part-time as a waiter, heard the invitation, he almost spilled the water from the kettle in his hand.

"Hanasakigawa's concert invites our band to attend?"

"That's right," Sha Ling explained amiably. "This concert has two stages, and performances will run all day long. The more bands we can invite, the better."

When he heard that there would be so many people, Li Xi instinctively resisted, "Well... our band members haven't arrived yet."

"It's okay. The three of you performed really well yesterday, Riki-chan." Saaya said with a smile, "Besides, Afterglow will also be participating."

"Afterglow..." Li Xi's pupils shrank.

She repeated the name in a low voice before speaking, "Sister Yamabuki, I need to discuss this matter with everyone."

"Okay, Riki-chan, just reply before Friday."

"Thank you, Yamabuki-senpai."

...

After a while, when Li Xi was about to get off work, he suddenly saw a pink-haired girl walking in with Takamatsu Deng.

"Rikki~" The pink-haired girl had a sweet smile on her face and waved her arms to greet him.

"Tsk."

Although Li Xi made a sound of disgust, the slightly raised corners of her mouth revealed her true emotions.

"You're finally back."

"What are you calling this guy? My name is Aine."

Sitting at the bar, Chihaya Aine complained dissatisfiedly, "And it was obviously you, Rikki, who left first, but you secretly came back and even attended the concert with Tomorin."

"Don't give Deng such a tasteless nickname without your permission." Li Xi retorted, avoiding answering certain questions.

Gao Songdeng immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Xiao Ai, it was my fault."

"Xiao Ai (ano-chan)?!" Li Xi exclaimed in shock.

“Hehe~” Aine said with a triumphant attitude, “Since it’s Tomorin’s request, then forget it. I’m a very generous person.”

Li Xi ignored her, staring intently at Gao Songdeng, and asked cautiously:

"Light...what about me?"

Takamatsu Deng lowered his head and thought seriously for a few seconds, but his small brain couldn't think of how to abbreviate the word taki, so he could only call it in the original way.

"Richie-chan."

"Huh?" Li Xi was surprised and disappointed, feeling that he had lost again invisibly.

“It’s Rikki, Rikki.” Aine corrected with a smile, her smile unable to hide the pride.

"you shut up."

"Really? Then I won't tell you any news related to Su Shi~" Aine said with a wink.

"Tsk!"

This time, Li Xi was really annoyed by the teasing, but when she saw the band-aid on Aine's finger, she immediately realized something.

After hesitating for a while, Li Xi said in a barely audible voice, "Please tell me."

“Huh?” Aine was surprised.

"What? Are you going to tell me or not?" Li Xi turned his gaze to the ground, and his momentum suddenly weakened a lot.

"Oh..." Aine came back to her senses and told him the information, "Sushi is planning to come to our live on Wednesday. She said she wants to end the band herself or something."

"Hmph, who does she think she is?" Li Xi snorted with disdain, not taking it seriously at all.

The other two didn't take this remark seriously and quickly started discussing other things.

Aiyin held her chin and asked, "Rikki, what are we going to perform at the Live on Wednesday?"

Li Xi looked at the other person, "Deng, how's the song you wrote going?"

"Well... I've only written half of it." Gao Songdeng lowered his head guiltily.

Seeing this, Aine immediately changed the subject, "By the way, what was your last performance, Tomorin? I heard that Ryuna-chan sang too?"

"Yeah." Takamatsu Deng's attention was drawn to the new question and he stopped blaming himself. "It's called Wu Lu Ya, a song written by Lin."

"No way...what?" Aiyin, whose Chinese was not very good, was confused.

Then she gave up thinking and asked, "Who is Lin?"

"It's that man." Li Xi replied.

"Just say my name properly, Rikki. There are so many men in the whole of Dongdu, how am I supposed to know which one it is?" Aine teased deliberately.

"That's Tian Nalin, whom you met before."

"Oh~ Mr. Tianna, the one who can read your mind, I remember him saying he was a trainee music producer..."

Chapter 66 Breaking a promise

Aiyin's doubts after getting the answer were not only not dispelled, but became even more intense, and the girl's eyebrows were almost twisted into flowers.

"Why did Mr. Tianna write a song for us?" she asked puzzledly.

"How would I know? Go ask yourself." Li Xi was still annoyed.

"Hmm..." Aine's mind flashed back to what Tiannalin said to her after the live ended that day.

(Ms. Aine, I'll leave Ms. Suyo in your care.)

Seeing her lost in thought, Gao Songdeng asked with concern, "Xiao Ai, are you okay?"

"I don't know if it's my imagination, but Mr. Tenna seems to be able to predict the future."

After being reminded of this, Li Xi suddenly realized, "If it's really as you said, then I've found the reason why this guy likes to act on his own."

"Huh? Rikki, aren't you surprised? This is a superpower that can predict the future."

"Then Deng and I also have the superpower of mind reading." Riki rarely followed Aine's line of thought and started to argue.

"That's right." Aiyin tapped her lips with her index finger and thought for a while, then finally gave up thinking with an optimistic attitude.

"Never mind, it's a good thing anyway."

Then she focused on more important things, "So, let's just perform the song "Bitian Banzou" and "Wu Lu" or something."

Li Xi still looked at the other person and said, "Deng, what do you think?"

This time, Gao Songdeng's answer was unusually firm, "I want to finish that hymn..."

Li Xi nodded, "Okay, then we'll do it the same way as before."

"Eh! Don't you need Bitian to accompany you?" Aine asked in surprise.

"Muluya's rhythm guitar part is pretty simple."

"Huh~ That's good."

Seeing Aine's relieved look, Lixi wanted to invite her to the concert, but considering that Su Shi had not really returned yet, he changed his mind and decided to wait until the five of them reunited.

------

A recording studio next to the overpass.

As the dark and deep melody of "ふたつの月 ~Deep Into The Forest~" ended, the room returned to silence again.

Sanjiao Chuhua was the first to applaud, "Xiaoxiang, this new song is so well written."

To this, Toyokawa Shoko simply replied indifferently: "Thank you for the compliment. Let's do it again. I feel that some details can be improved."

"Okay." Chu Hua and Ruo Ye Mu both agreed, and the latter's face showed a rare blush of excitement.

The three of them practiced a few songs together until the rental time ended, and then left the recording studio.

As they were taking the elevator downstairs, Xiangzi said, "Sorry to bother you, Xiaomu, with the accompaniment today. Are you free tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Wakaba Mu shook his head slightly, "Thursday is fine."

"Okay, then the next practice will be on Thursday."

After a while, the elevator door opened, Xiangzi said goodbye to the two of them, and walked to the nearby tram station first.

Looking at the former's slender figure, Chu Hua said with a worried look: "Xiao Xiang seems to be a little different today."

Wakaba Mu nodded his chin in agreement.

Thinking back to Xiangzi's recent behavior, his cold appearance which was completely different from what he remembered, Chuhua became even more worried.

She pondered for a moment, then said, as if she had made up her mind, "Miss Ruoye, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

"Ah."

Chuhua then returned to the store, took out a large suitcase from the locker, and left in a taxi.

In the evening, Shoko took the tram to Akabane Station.

Just like before, she looked around to see if anyone was following her before walking out of the car.

However, at this time, there was a rotor drone hovering a hundred meters above the station, and the camera on its belly could not see the scenery below.

Including the blue-haired girl walking.

The drone maintained a distance of several hundred meters, staring at Xiangzi as he came to an old house. The flashing signal lights on its body seemed to symbolize the user's rapid heartbeat.

Xiangzi, who was completely unaware of this, took out the key, opened the door and went in. His eyes were immediately attracted by the new things in the room.

A Roland electronic keyboard.

Tian Nalin was holding up his mobile phone to watch the tutorial while familiarizing himself with the functions of the synthesizer.

"Mr. Tianna, did you buy this?" Xiangzi took off his shoes and walked into the room.

"Yes, Miss Xiangzi, what do you think of this piano?"

The two chatted for a while, and Xiangzi didn't ask Tian Nalin where he got the money, but simply taught him how to use the electronic organ.
